[Inuyasha] Spider Silk

The sky above Maple Village was shrouded in a huge evil spirit, the turbulent clouds covered the brilliance of the sun, and the falling miasma took away the vitality of the earth, and the withered air was filled with the smell of a storm.

Attracted by the evil spirit, countless monsters rushed out of their lairs and flew towards the center of the evil spirit.

The dimly lit dead soul worms walked against the monsters, passing through the miasma that filled the sky, but a few of them were completely corroded by the poisonous gas before they landed on the window, and turned into dust and dispersed silently.

"...Sister Kikyo."

The witch lying in the room slightly opened her eyes, and the faintly glowing dead souls hovered around her, like some kind of silent mourning.

Granny Feng was sitting by the fireside. The little girl who had been with Kikyo was no longer young, her old face was full of the gullies carved by the years, and her figure soaked in grief seemed more bent than usual.

The body of the shrine maiden who died 50 years ago, made of ashes and clay, is reaching its limit.

Naraku snatched the last fragment of the Jade of the Four Souls from Amber, and the Jade of the Four Souls that should have disappeared with her death was born again in a complete form.

Rather than purifying and destroying Naraku, Kikyo saved Kohaku's life with what little power he had left.

A deep rumble of thunder came from the distant sky, and the lightning, like pale blades, briefly split the gap in the sky.

Kikyo closed her eyes: "Are you wondering why I didn't choose to destroy Naraku?"

"...No." Granny Feng replied in a low voice.

She seemed to want to say something, but her words were too pale, and the world's vocabulary was too poor.

In the dark sky, a huge spider crawled in the center of the evil vortex, opened its abyss-like mouth, and swallowed Inuyasha and his party together with Sesshomaru.

"Naraku used the Jade of the Four Souls."

No matter how he changed, he finally condensed into the form of a spider.

"The entangled fate has finally come to an end."

Cracks appeared in the cold body, but Kikyo's expression was very calm.

"50 years ago, what was it that killed me?"

As if a person who has been tortured by illness for a long time is about to be released from the long pain, she raised her eyes, looking through the low beams and through the time covered with thick dust.

"Is it hatred?"

The body was torn apart, blood spurted out, and the figure that he thought he adored and admired trampled his painful heart to pieces.

The world made a sound of shattering, and grief-stricken anger welled up in my heart.But in the end, in the dazzling light and shadow, the arrow of the seal pierced through the howling wind, and with a bang, nailed the red figure to the god tree.

Kikyo's voice was as soft as some kind of raving:

"Do not."

50 years ago, the shrine maiden who wanted to follow her lover slowly closed her eyes.

"It's not hatred that kills."

……

On the day Saori was discharged from the hospital, the cherry blossoms in the courtyard bloomed.

The cloud-like cherry blossoms are clustered on the branches, blown by the soft breeze, and fall on the heads of pedestrians one after another.

The doctor in a white coat put away his stethoscope and told her with a smile that she was the most physically fit patient he had seen in his practice for many years, and her recovery speed was comparable to a medical miracle.

The medical staff in the hospital were highly qualified, and no one asked what happened to the scars on her back.

Although she didn't show any curiosity, when she was discharged from the hospital, the nurse who had taken care of her for many days patted her on the shoulder and told her very seriously:

"Everything is in the past, and the future will be better."

The nurses in the hospital collectively gave her a flower basket.

Saori: "?"

When she came, she was empty-handed, and she thought she would be the same when she was discharged from the hospital.

Holding the flower basket, Saori walked out of the hospital gate.

It was at that time that she noticed that it was already spring in the outside world.

The cherry blossoms are overflowing, the golden sun is shining between the flowers, and the asphalt road is paved with spring rivers. She is holding the flower branches in her arms in a daze. When the traffic lights sound on the sidewalk, the girls in high school uniforms are talking and smiling. Crossing the road, the soft hair was blown up by the wind, and the high blue sky stretched as far as the eye can see.

—— Kagome, who was supposed to attend the high school entrance ceremony, is still in the Sengoku period.

After a few months, I returned to the apartment next to the station, and the metal mailbox was stuffed with letterheads.When I opened it, basically, except for the water and electricity bills, it was all kinds of commercial advertisements.

Mieko originally wanted to turn down her job and come to the hospital to pick her up. Since her ex-boyfriend went to jail, the turmoil of public opinion has gradually subsided. Mieko's career is back on track, and her popularity is even higher than before.

"It would be bad to cause a traffic accident at the entrance of the hospital." Saori made up a nonsense reason at the time. Mieko felt that what she said was very reasonable, and it was not easy to skip work during the filming of Dahe drama. Saori's apartment was cleaned again.

Saori pushed open the door, and the one-bedroom apartment was clean and tidy. The re-waxed wooden floor shone brightly in the sunlight reflected through the curtains.

It's almost as if she's never left, or never lived in, the apartment, which is as beautiful as a model apartment in a rental ad.

She found a reference book full of her own notes on the bookshelf, and saw neatly hung and even re-ironed ladies' suits in the closet.

The only thing missing was the long knife she had put in the storage box under the bed.

Saori went to a nearby supermarket, bought some vegetables and meat, put them in the empty refrigerator, and made a simple sukiyaki pot for herself.

As night fell, the apartment gradually turned on a grid of lights.She sat alone at the kitchen table under the warm yellow light, while waiting for the pot to boil, while flipping through the letters accumulated over the past few months.

Utility bill, ad, ad, utility bill, ad...

With a slight pause of her fingers, she turned over the snow-white envelope.

The letter came from the cram school she had consulted, and the other party introduced her to a school for adults. More detailed information and phone numbers were attached to the envelope.

Saori pulled through the bulky landline, and the telephone line ran from the wall to the kitchen table.She dialed the number and made an appointment for tomorrow's interview.

The sound of the TV came from next door, and as summer approached, all of Tokyo seemed to be talking about the upcoming Olympics in Atlanta.

After showering and blowing hair, the gauze was poured into the soft blanket, and the humming TV vibrated in the quiet air.This is not the fault of the apartment walls, but her hearing is too sensitive, and she can clearly capture the slight electric sound in the noise.

She stretched out her hand from under the quilt, and in the night-shrouded room, only the bedside lamp was still on.

——"Naraku obtained the complete Jade of the Four Souls."

Before leaving, Kagome's dignified voice rang in his ears.

With a snap, the lights went out.

Saori closed her eyes in the falling darkness.

The next morning, she was woken up by the sound of a distant tram.

The rumbling sound came from far and near, and the morning light leaked in through the gaps in the curtains.After getting up, Saori washed up briefly, and went to the nearby library after breakfast.

There was still time before the interview, so she found the reference room of the library. Because it was a weekday, there were very few people in the reference room. The heavy computer was placed on the table, and the seat in front of her was empty.

Saori typed a few keywords of universities in the search bar, and the webpage slowly spit out the search results, she saved it casually, and clicked to download——

Ten minutes have passed, and the progress of the download bar is still stuck at one percent.

She glances at the time it takes to download:

36 years, 52 minutes and 48 seconds.

Saori left the library with her bag on her back.

She arrived much earlier than the appointment time for the interview. When she left the station in the city center, a crowd of suits and leather shoes approached her.

The rhythm of the world has changed, high-rise buildings have risen from the ground, and the streets full of traffic and traffic are as lively as sea water at high tide. Countless voices are buzzing and vibrating, colliding and meeting in the air, and breaking apart like foam in the sea.

Countless figures separated and overlapped, and there was an endless flow at the crossroads with flashing traffic lights.

Saori merged into the crowd, and the same group of people were waiting on the other side of the road, wearing ties and carrying briefcases, looking at the traffic lights above.

The crowd in suits and leather shoes gathered into a huge whole, and at the moment when the green light turned on, they took hurried steps at the same time.

Schools of fish meet and fork in the middle of an ocean of asphalt roads.

Maybe she will be one of these people in the future, Saori thought.

Go to university, get a diploma, start a job in a company, and repeat the nine-to-five work every day.

This is the most common human life in modern society.

Maybe she'll stay with the same company, with a salary that increases over time.Maybe one day she will suddenly change jobs and go to some corner of the countryside to live a leisurely life.

Maybe she'll meet someone she likes again, maybe she'll start a family with that person.

She may or may not have children.Maybe she will choose to be single all the time, or suddenly choose marriage at some stage in her life.

Life may not be so magnificent, every day is ordinary and ordinary, happiness is like the taste of boiled water.

These countless ordinary things will pile up and gradually accumulate over the years, and then she will gradually grow old, like all human beings in this world, like all creatures, great or ordinary, that have ever existed in this world.

She will live an ordinary life and grow old.

day after day.

And then day after day.

day after day……

Saori suddenly stopped in the middle of the bustling road.

The crowd in suits and leather shoes diverted beside her, walking in different directions along their respective life trajectories.

……day after day.

She will live well.

Just like her 18 years in the Warring States Period.

——But it’s just living well.

The green light turned to red, and the crowd quickened their pace in an uproar.

Saori suddenly turned around, running against the black flow of people, and started running back at that moment.

The piercing whistle sounded, crossing and piercing the vibrating air.

The sound of cursing, the cry of surprise, the scorching marks of the tires on the ground, but nothing can compare with the pounding and roaring heartbeat in the chest, the blurred world turned into a reflection, torn by the whistling wind , passing quickly backwards.

The backpack was too in the way, so Saori grabbed it and threw it down.She jumped over the guardrail, passed through the bustling traffic, and flew down the long stairs of the station at the shortest distance in a straight line.

Countless pedestrians looked sideways, and the accelerating tram roared away from the platform. When she jumped on it without hesitation, she vaguely heard an exclamation from behind.

"Which era did that guy come from?"

……

The white skeletons woven into a giant net stretched out from Naraku's back, piercing into the surrounding wriggling flesh wall.

The turbid miasma overflowed in the giant spider's body. Naraku, who was the main body, lowered his eyes and looked at Inuyasha and his party with a blank expression to overcome all difficulties and gather again under the guidance of fate, like mosquitoes that are attracted to light, and moths that are attracted to flames. , came to the place of final destiny.

Violent vibrations continued to come from afar, and Sesshomaru destroyed Naraku's body constructed with the power of the Four Soul Jade from the inside. All buried in a belly full of miasma.

"Nailuo!"

With a flash of light from Iron Broken Fang, the entrance to Hades suddenly opened, and the figure fixed on the spider web made of white bones remained motionless.

"Do you want to use the dying moon to bury me Naluo?" Mottled cracks crawled on Naluo's face, like cold and pale porcelain, which would shatter under the pressure of the jade of the four souls in his body at any time.

"Then try it."

The crack continued to widen, and the human face was gradually covered with a monster-like hard shell.

"Kill my Naraku, let the miasma fall into the maple village below and take Kikyo's life, or give up the companions gathered around you, and protect the maple village and Kikyo, Inuyasha, no matter what you choose, Both are doomed to sacrifice one of them.”

Inuyasha's face suddenly changed.

"Naraku! You bastard..."

Naraku laughed softly, not only the pupils, but other places were gradually stained with scarlet blood.

"Why?" Kagome suddenly raised her head with a complicated expression, "What is your purpose?"

She stepped forward: "Why don't you just kill us?"

"...I've said it before." Her long jet-black hair turned snow-white from the roots, and Naraku's voice was cold and deep, "The Jade of the Four Souls longs for your souls and your hatred for me, so I want to kill you Trapped inside me and keep fighting."

"In that case, why don't you stop the Sesshomaru that is destroying your body?" Kagome clenched the longbow tightly.

"You clearly know that the jade of the four souls is using you, and those who absorb the jade of the four souls will turn into monsters in body and mind."

She paused every word, her voice was crystal clear:

"Why, knowing all this, you still chose to absorb the jade of the four souls?"

The huge body was constantly collapsing, and evil and miasma spewed out one after another. Flesh walls, blood vessels, meridians and cartilage all fell down with violent vibrations.

"..."

"what are you waiting for?"

Inuyasha held the knife and stopped Kagome in front of her, but she just raised her head and watched the figure hanging on the huge spider web that was about to be swallowed by the jade of the four souls.

"I don't feel the fighting spirit from you."

"Naraku, what are you trying to delay?"

The sound of the bones breaking and the heart being torn apart and reassembled sounded, and the shell of the half-demon and the human skin were peeled off from Naluo's body at that moment like melting wax.

"...It's late." He laughed, the monster's snow-white hair and scarlet eyes.

The crystals of miasma surged wildly from the flesh wall, and the vortex of evil distorted the air. Naraku lowered his eyelids and said in a voice that seemed to give others despair:

"Since you don't make a choice, let's die together."

Time stood still for a moment, and immediately, a series of huge explosions sounded.

I can't tell where the tsunami-like vibration came from. The sharp knife energy strangled Naraku's body, the broken pieces of meat continued to collapse, and the miasma crystal stones and dark evil energy burst through the sky, but immediately, the voice from the outside world clear up.

The moment the clear voice arrived, there seemed to be a dazzling knife flash, from the hard outer shell to the fleshy membrane on the inner wall, and the space where everyone was was suddenly split open.

The sound of the violent wind poured in, and the light from outside poured in together.

The evil aura that covered the sky and the sun broke through a gap, and the sharp light of the sky shot in like a knife, piercing through the thick and desperate miasma.

"Naraku!!!!"

The voice was furious.

Under everyone's gaze, the figure plummeted from the air, breaking through numerous obstacles without any hindrance, suddenly threw the long knife in his hand, clenched his hand into a fist, and pulled his shoulder and right arm back suddenly.

There was a muffled bone crack, and the huge spider web shattered.

The rotating blade fell from the air, and with a buzzing sound, it sank obliquely into the wall of flesh.

"Spit out the jade of the four souls!!!"

Saori pinned Naraku to the ground, so angry that she wished she could punch him a few more times.

"Where?!! Where did you hide the jade of the four souls?!!"

Kagome came back to her senses, and suddenly shouted: "The Jade of the Four Souls is on Naraku's chest!!"

Countless tentacles suddenly emerged from the fleshy wall, like a viper hissing and spitting out poisonous messages, wrapping around Saori's waist and limbs.

Shazhi tore off the tentacles that were most in the way, her fingers turned into claws, and she dug into Naluo's chest without hesitation.Anyway, his regenerative ability was abnormal enough, even if his chest was really dug open, he could still survive. She didn't hesitate at all, her fingers suddenly inserted into the cold and hard chest, covered by moist flesh and blood.

"...What are you doing here?"

The jade of the four souls was pitch black and filthy, and it was tightly glued together with the flesh and blood.

As if the person whose chest was being ripped open was not himself, Naraku stared at her face for a moment, and the scarlet eyes turned dark waves in the dead silence.

"...Don't disturb me." Saori didn't raise her head.

The Jade of the Four Souls refused to leave Naluo's body, like a hateful blood-sucking insect, firmly absorbed in the bloody wound.

"Tell me." The tentacles wrapped around her body were tightened, and there were traces of bruises on the white skin.

"Why did you come back?"

The dark light surged violently, and the jade of the four souls was scalding to a terrifying temperature. Saori felt that her fingers were about to burn, and she could almost hear the scorching sound of her skin being scorched.

"why?"

Naraku is extremely paranoid, as if life or death, whether this world will fall into hell or be reborn, all depends on the answer to this question.

"tell me why?"

Saori couldn't take his eyes off it.

"...to beat you up."

She tightly grasped the jade of the four souls embedded in the flesh and blood of the two of them.

A faint broken light suddenly emerged from the depths of the jade beads polluted by evil spirits and despair.

Saori's eyes froze, and at that moment, she pulled it out with all her strength without hesitation.

With a puff, the jade of the four souls splashed out along with the blood foam and pieces of meat, and rolled down to the ground next to it.

Losing the erosive power of the jade of the four souls, the hard and cold shell slowly shattered and dissipated, the abnormal scarlet color faded from the fundus of the eyes, and the scattered long hair turned back to black as ink again.

"I told you a long time ago that the jade of the four souls is not a good thing. How many times have I told you, don't make a wish, don't make a wish, do you take my words as a deaf ear?"

The half-demon who was pressed under her was silent for a long time, and raised her eyes.

"I didn't make a wish."

Saori suddenly paused.

The tentacles wrapped around her loosened, and Naraku raised her pale and cold hand to caress her slightly froze face.

The surrounding space is collapsing and cracking, the roar is deafening, but the world is strangely quiet at that moment.

Naraku held her face and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"I no longer need to make a wish to the Jade of the Four Souls."

The author has something to say:

What Naraku wanted was Saori's love, so he asked Saori to come to him by herself
