[Seshomaru Doujin] Shenyue

Time is like water in the palm of your hand, passing away bit by bit, mercilessly.

Before you know it, the spring flowers are gradually dying, and the spring is gone.

Emerald green, tender green, green, tea green, bean green... deep and shallow, thick and light green render the summer.The chirping of cicadas is hidden among the leaves; the cry of frogs is hidden at night.The sun has also become dazzling and scorching, and there is an unsettling heat in the air.

These days, Shenyue and Kagura are still together, occasionally helping Naraku collect the jade of the four souls, and occasionally choosing the city to raise monsters.However, if it was the latter, Shenyue must have chosen a city very far away from Nadeshiko's village.

She hadn't seen Inuyasha and his party these days, not even through Kanna's mirror.Of course, I haven't seen Sesshomaru either.

However, every few days, she would go to the Sakura Forest near Nadeko Village.

Sometimes, Nadeko is playing the flute here, so she will listen quietly here, and then chat a few words;

Sometimes, Nadeko is at the shrine, so she just waits here quietly.Because Nadeko can always feel her evil spirit, and then come here;

Sometimes, Nadeko went out to eliminate demons, and she didn't wait for anyone for a day, so she came back the next day to see if she was all right;

Sometimes, Nadeko would ask her for help to get rid of some troublesome monsters, and she agreed;

Sometimes, Nadeko would bring some "human food" for her to eat, and she would not refuse;

sometimes……

These are like unspoken promises with Nadeko.It is no longer clear whether Nadeko is helping her understand emotions, or she is helping Nadeko get rid of the so-called "loneliness".

It's just... Nadeko's smile was still burning, which made her reluctant to come.

Is this the so-called "person of nostalgia" and "thing of nostalgia"?

If it can stay like this...

It seems that it is not bad.

On this day, Shenyue bid farewell to Nadeko as usual, and wandered aimlessly in the woods.

For some reason, recently, I don't really want to go back to Renjian City, which is full of miasma.

Suddenly, a bloody smell lingered at the tip of his nose, and as he strolled away, he saw someone he never expected.

On the ancient tree in front of him, there was a man sitting leaning against him. He was dressed in white and had silver hair. The hexagonal plums on his cuffs were as charming as before, but the armor on his shoulders was already worn out.

As soon as Sesshomaru saw Shenyue, his eyes immediately turned red, as if he was about to turn into a demon in the next moment.

But Shenyue felt that insidious resentment from that day flashed in her heart again, a murderous intent flashed in the depths of her eyes, and a fire flashed uncontrollably in her hands.

Suddenly, the sound of "Xixisuosuo" came from the woods, like the sound of cloth rubbing against the trees, and the sound of people walking.

But the strange thing is, as soon as Sesshomaru heard this voice, he stopped demonizing, his golden eyes recovered, and his face was as handsome as before.

But he managed to stand up, raised his hand with difficulty, the nails were shining with cold green light, completely ignoring the wound on his shoulder re-opening, and the blood soaked the white clothes.

Shenyue was startled and suspicious, while paying attention to Sesshomaru, she looked towards the source of the sound from the corner of her eye.

I saw a little girl in a tattered orange-yellow kimono emerging from the dense forest.Her hair was disheveled, tied in a small braid casually, and one eye seemed to be injured and closed tightly.

At this moment, she was holding a large leaf with roasted brown wheat on it.

She looked at Sesshomaru and then at Shenyue, as if she didn't quite understand the tense atmosphere between the two sides.

"Human?" Shenyue murmured, but put away the fire with a blank expression.

— Nadeko is also human.

Sesshomaru saw that Shenyue had absorbed her demon power, so he didn't want to do anything in front of the girl.So, the arm was slowly lowered, and the green light was no longer there.

"No, I told you I don't want anything..." Immediately afterwards, Sesshomaru said to the little girl coldly.

Shenyue looked at the little girl with an emotion called "disappointment".

Thanks to Nadeko, her understanding of emotions is not as blank as it was at the beginning.

However, Shenyue then heard Sesshomaru asking the little girl, "How did you get the wound on your face?"

But the little girl didn't answer.

"You don't want to say it." Sesshomaru continued, frowning slightly.

The little girl was stunned when she heard the words, but after a while, she smiled.

The little girl's smile was not beautiful, not charming, and even missing a tooth, but it made Shenyue inexplicably think of Kagome's smile and Nadeshiko's smile, both scorching and warm.

——"What's there to be happy about?"

——“Why are you laughing?”

The same blurted out, the same expressionless face, and after hearing the other party's question, they all stared at the other party in the same way.

When the little girl heard this, the smile on her face became even brighter, making it almost impossible to look directly at.

Next, the little girl came to Shenyue with the leaves in her hands, as if she wanted to invite her to eat.

Looking at the girl with a smile similar to Nadeko's, Shenyue couldn't refuse, she pinched a little wheat in her hand and chewed it in her mouth.

The heat is a bit too much, and there is no smell...

It turns out that human food is also of different grades...

At the very least, the "human food" that Nadeko invited was much better than this.

However, Kagura's words flashed in his ears.

——"When you accept help from others, you should express your gratitude."

So, she said, "Thank you."

Tasting and thanking with a blank face, but the eyes of the little girl in front of him were bent like crescent moons.

After Ling left, Shenyue couldn't bring up the murderous intent in her heart.

But looking at Sesshomaru's face, he couldn't help but think of Kagome's angry reprimand.

——"Shenyue, you really let me down!"

However, Nadeko's words flashed in her heart, soft but powerful.

——"But, later on, I found out that what I hate the most is... myself."

Resent... yourself?

She was the one who held Kagome hostage, she was the one who took away the Jade of the Four Souls, and she was the one who betrayed her trust... she was also the one.Even if Sesshomaru doesn't come, Naraku will let her do it sooner or later.

So, the person she resents is... herself...

And Nadeko also said that life is precious, so the idea of ​​her wanting to kill him, is it...

Shouldn't it be?

Shenyue looked at Sesshomaru, the wound on his shoulder was still oozing blood, and the smell of blood lingered at the tip of his nose.

She suddenly remembered the blood at the corner of Nadeko's mouth, which was also so bright red, like the setting sun, like falling flowers.

Then, the image of Nadeko coughing, hunched over, and trembling all over flashed in his mind.

Nadeko, she must be in great pain...

So Shenyue looked at Sesshomaru and asked, "Does it hurt?"

No ridicule, no sarcasm; no sympathy, no mercy.There is no wave in the expression, and there is no ups and downs in the tone.It is clearly a question, but it seems to be just stating the facts.

If you have to say it, there may be a concern for others in the depths of the eyes.

After hearing these words, Sesshomaru's golden eyes flashed disdain: "I don't need your cheap care."

Unexpectedly, Shenyue's expression did not change at all after hearing this sentence, she was still expressionless, not angry or ashamed.

She thought about his words for a while, and retorted seriously: "Nadeko said that caring is very valuable. Since Nadeko said so, I don't think it should be cheap."

Sesshomaru snorted coldly, and refused to argue with her, but withdrew his murderous aura towards Shenyue.

At this moment, the howling of wolves broke the silence.

"Listen to the voice..." Shenyue said with some hesitation, "It seems to be going in the direction the little girl left..."

Before Shenyue finished speaking, Sesshomaru strode away.

Shenyue was puzzled and followed behind.

However, when they arrived, it was too late.

In the forest, the little girl was lying on the ground, lifeless, with criss-cross wounds on her body, and her eyes were still wide open.

"Obviously killed by wolves."

As Shenyue spoke, her voice was still calm and disrespectful, but she lowered her eyelids halfway, and there was a slight pain in her chest.

This person who had a similar smile to Nadeko, who would invite her to eat "human food" just like Nadeko... died so easily...

die……

It seems really scary...

Thinking about it, Shenyue knelt down and put her hands on the girl's pupils, trying to close her wide-open eyelids.

"Step aside."

Sesshomaru's cold voice brought back Shenyue's thoughts.

She looked back, but saw Sesshomaru pull out the long knife that had been pinned to his waist, the blade gleamed coldly.

Shenyue was puzzled. Naraku once told her that the knife on Sesshomaru's waist seemed to have no lethality.

So... he drew his sword to...

Thinking about it, Shenyue got up and took a few steps back.

I saw that Sesshomaru swung the long knife high, as if beheading something in the void.

Afterwards, the little girl's eyelids trembled a few times, and then, her dark brown eyes met those of Sesshomaru and Shenyue.

Live, live?

Shenyue took half a step back in horror.

"Master Sesshomaru!" Not far away, the little green monster Xie Jian was holding the two-headed dragon, calling to its master.

But Sesshomaru gave Shenyue a cold look, but did not speak, and was about to leave.

Ling looked at Sesshomaru's back in some confusion, then tugged Shenyue's sleeves, signaling to follow along.

Shenyue shook her head lightly, and then asked, "You want to follow him?"

Shenyue noticed that when she was asking, Sesshomaru's pace stopped.

But the girl nodded vigorously.

"He's a monster."

The girl nodded, indicating that she knew.

"You are human."

The girl still nodded.

Shenyue said again: "I know a maiden named Nadeko, she is a very gentle person. She will like you."

The girl shook her head.

Shenyue looked at the little girl and rubbed her hair.

Although it was rough, it was warm and soft, just like her smile.

Shenyue looked again at Sesshomaru who was standing in front of her.

But he remembered the scene where he swung a knife to save the girl...

This person seems...not bad...

So she said, "Let's go."

After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

However, the figure froze, and the girl was still tugging on her sleeve.

"Sister...won't you be together...?"

The voice was a little stagnant, as if he had just learned to speak.

"So you can talk." Shenyue said, still expressionless, "What's your name?"

—I want to know the name of the person with such a warm smile.

"Ling." The girl said, looking a little anxious, "My name is Ling, what's my sister's name? Is my sister not together?"

"Shen Yue."

The sound is flat, just narrating a fact.

After finishing speaking, Shenyue gently released Ling's hand holding her sleeve, and said, "That person won't welcome me. I won't go either."

After speaking, Shenyue left without looking back.
