[Seshomaru Doujin] Shenyue

The torrential rain continued for two days, and as soon as the weather cleared, Kagome and his party left the village sheltered from the rain, and Shenyue followed behind them.

After the rainstorm, it was a sunny day, the sky was still faintly covered with colorful rainbow lights, the air was fresh, and even the soil seemed to be fragrant, the birds were chirping, and the leaves had a gleam of water because of the rain, which was lovely.

He and Kagome and his party walked and stopped in the woods until it was getting dark, but they didn't find a village where they could stay overnight.

Kagome said helplessly: "It seems that I can only sleep in the open tonight."

Inuyasha and his party nodded in agreement, and then Inuyasha and Maitreya went to collect firewood to start a fire.

"Near here..." Shenyue, who had been silent all this time, spoke, but stopped in the middle of the sentence.

"What happened nearby?" Kagome asked strangely, staring at Nadeshiko together with the others.

There is a village near here.

But she didn't remember until halfway through, this seems to be the village of Nadeshiko!

How to do it?She's not good at lying...

Before coming, Kagura knew that she couldn't get along with people, so she told her not to speak if she couldn't speak, don't ask stupid questions, and Inuyasha and the others asked her to do what she did.

So, with a sudden heart, she pointed in a direction and replied honestly: "Ten miles ahead, there is a village."

"Really? That's great!" Kagome doubted him, "Inuyasha, let's hurry up before it gets dark!"

To Shenyue's surprise, before they entered the village, a witch with a longbow greeted them.

The witch's long hair was tied up with a white ribbon, her face was beautiful, but her complexion was pale.At this moment, looking at them, the corners of his brows and eyes are full of chills.

"Stop." Nadeko said, the bowstring was drawn, and a golden arrow was born out of thin air.

Shenyue knew that it must be herself, and the evil spirit on Inuyasha's body attracted Nadeko to go out of the village to check.

But what to do?

While thinking about it, he saw that Inuyasha had already pulled out his teeth and pointed the blade at Nadeshiko, "What do you mean, woman?"

But Kagome was about to have a conflict, and quickly shouted: "Inuyasha, sit down!"

As a result, Inuyasha was slammed to the ground with a knife and a man, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha got up from the ground, with crosses growing on his head.

then--

"Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! . . . "

After a series of "sit down" without panting, Inuyasha had to crawl out of the deep hole he fell out of, and finally calmed down a little.

Taking advantage of this time, Maitreya, Coral, and Qibao hurriedly explained their identities to Nadeko, and used the pair of live treasures in front of them to show that Inuyasha, a dangerous species, had been domesticated.

The three of them cooperated very skillfully, and it was obviously not the first time they encountered such a situation.

After hearing this, Nadeko relaxed a little, but the arrow turned and pointed at Shenyue: "So, what about her?"

Shan Shan heard the words and quickly explained: "She, she is not a bad person, she is with us."

And Shenyue just remained silent, looking at Nadeko blankly.

"Really?" Nadeko smiled, under the setting sun, her sickly paleness was stained with a blush, just like the first thaw of ice and snow, and the first bloom of spring flowers.

Nadeko was noncommittal, but let go of the bowstring, and the arrow disappeared, and said, "In that case, please go to the shrine to rest for the night."

After speaking, Nadeko turned around and led the way.

However, Shenyue felt that before Nadeko turned around, she seemed to glance at herself.

Although Shenyue couldn't understand the exact meaning of Nadeko's eyes, she felt that this night would not be so peacefully spent.

As soon as Shenyue stepped into Nadeshiko's shrine, she felt her body sinking, and her demon power seemed to freeze.And the wound on the shoulder was even more painful because there was no demon power to help heal.

Shenyue looked at Inuyasha walking in front, Qibao and Mica, all seemed to be normal, so she knew that Nadeshiko was targeting her.

But she didn't say anything, and silently followed Inuyasha and his party, listening to Nadeko's arrangements for accommodation.

Nadeko's shrine is not big, and there are only two guest rooms, so Kamizuki, Kagome, and Coral are crowded into one room, and Inuyasha, Maitreya, Shippo, and Mica sleep in another room.

The day's journey was exhausting, and Kagome and Shan Shan soon fell asleep.

Shenyue didn't feel sleepy, gently opened the sliding door, watching the moonlight pouring in, faintly sprinkled on the sleeping faces of Kagome and Shan Shan.

The corners of Kagome's mouth raised slightly, and he softly called "Inuyasha...", as if he was having a good dream.But Coral's brows sometimes frown slightly, and sometimes stretch, she doesn't know what she dreamed about.

Shenyue knelt by the side, almost bewildered.

She still doesn't understand what kind of feeling it is that can make people have such changeable expressions even in dreams.

But Kagura told her to never ask Inuyasha and the others stupid questions, such as what it feels like to be afraid.

So, she looked at the smiles of the group of them, and even though she didn't understand why they were laughing, she didn't ask any questions. She just followed behind silently, seeing with her eyes, listening with her ears, trying her best to understand.

"Can you come out for a while?" The woman's soft words interrupted Shenyue's thoughts.

She looked up, but Nadeko was standing outside the door.

The bright moon is faint, clear as water.

Nadeko was dressed in a priestess costume, with her sleeves fluttering like a butterfly in the breeze, and the silvery moonlight cast a layer of holy light on her, making her look like a god.

Shenyue nodded, walked gently to the door, and closed the sliding door.

Afterwards, Shenyue followed Nadeshiko to the courtyard of the shrine. The courtyard was covered with soft green grass. In the corner was a cherry tree in full bloom. The falling cherry trees were fluttering, and a faint fragrance was floating in the air.

"Let me ask you," Nadeko's expression seemed to be... gentle because of the darkness, "Did you release a large number of monsters into the village that day?"

Shenyue lowered her eyes, she is not good at lying, so she answered honestly: "Yes."

Her expression was calm, without any guilt or panic.Just answering a question.

"Very well, that's true." Nadeko smiled, and Moonlight lost color, "Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?"

Hearing this, Shenyue tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "Death is nothing more than physical pain. Also, can you tell me what it feels like to be afraid?"

In fact, what Shenyue was thinking just now was that Kagura told her not to ask Inuyasha and his party, but she didn't say that she couldn't ask Nadeko.

Hearing this, Nadeko's expression became very strange: "You don't understand... are you afraid?"

"Yeah." Shenyue nodded and answered honestly, "I don't understand emotions."

— and no emotion.

For some reason, she was always reluctant to say the second half of the sentence.

Nadeko's brows and eyes were no longer sharp at this moment, they were so soft...it reminded me of a warm blanket in the cold winter, "Is that so? You are so pitiful."

--"You are pitiful."

Kagura's wind-like words blew in my heart again.

"Fear of this kind of emotion... well, if you really understand death, you will understand what it is to be afraid." Nadeko's words pulled back Shenyue's thoughts, and her tone was as light as a spring breeze and as soft as drizzle.

So, Shenyue said: "I know what death is, that is, the body hurts and then loses consciousness."

"No, it's not death." Nadeko shook her head lightly.

Afterwards, Nadeko's ethereal voice filled Shenyue's ears.

"Death is a farewell to the people and things you miss. What a scary thing it is."

Nostalgic person?A matter of nostalgia?

Shenyue began to recall in her mind all the people she had seen since birth.

Naraku, Kanna, Kagura, Sesshomaru, Wise View, Kagome, Inuyasha, Maitreya, Coral, Shippo, Mica, and this... Nadeko.

Does she miss any of them?

She...don't know!

So she retorted: "You haven't died, how do you know?"

Nadeko shook her head and said with a smile, "My body won't last long. No one understands the fear of death better than me, and no one understands the value of life better than me."

Shenyue looked at Nadeshiko half-understood, and then asked as if thinking of something: "You are a witch, and you chat with me instead of killing me, which is unreasonable."

"Didn't I say that? Life is very precious. It's the same whether it's a demon or a human being." Nadeko said quietly, "What's more, you don't understand emotions, even if you hurt others, you don't understand yourself. I always feel that people like you can't make people really angry."

When Shenyue heard this, she looked at Fuzi in a daze.

Nadeko was the first to answer what Kagura called her "stupid questions."Although she didn't quite understand, Shenyue knew that Nadeko took her question seriously.

Suddenly, the breeze blew, and Nadeko's clothes fluttered, and a few fallen flowers floated on Nadeshiko's skirt.

Shenyue suddenly understood one thing——

The so-called "gentleness" refers to people like Nadeko.
