[Inuyasha] Miko and Youkai

Returning to the shrine in a mess, it is inevitable that the little monsters will look at them a few more times, but since they have only learned a lesson not long ago, only a few older ones dare to mutter a few words behind their backs, such as "young people are impulsive... ..." and so on.

Dongqing raised her eyebrows, pretending she didn't hear it, she sat obediently and let Shikigami comb her hair.

"His Highness Sesshomaru is really merciless." Shikigami sighed quietly looking at the scratches on his master's body.

"Man! Don't think about those weird things!" Holly turned around in shame, "It's obviously because that guy suddenly attacked me!

"Master thinks... what is this concubine thinking?" Shikigami raised his sleeve to hide his smile.

"..."

Dongqing rubbed her forehead with a headache, feeling that her majesty as a master was gone.Are all Shikigami in the world like this?But Master Reiko's shikigami is very obedient.

"Okay, I'm not joking." With a straight face, he tied her hair and said seriously, "It's better for the master to stay away from His Highness Sesshomaru in the future. After all, he is not as kind to human beings as the dog general Don't worry, if he wants to kill, I'm afraid you, master, are not his match."

Dongqing nodded, as if remembering something, and asked, "Man, don't monsters eat human food?"

"It depends on what kind of monster it is..." Man pointed to Holly to look at the little monster outside the door, "They seem to like to steal human food."

Holly glanced at it. The little monsters were all full and lying at the door basking in the sun. Their stomachs were bulging, and they looked very stupid.But it is because they are kind by nature and help to stabilize the barrier, so Reiko-sama will keep them in the shrine.

She withdrew her gaze and continued to ask: "If the monster doesn't eat human food, what will it eat?"

"Cannibalism." Shikigami replied with a smile.

"Ah..." Dongqing was half a beat slow to react, she raised her head and said sincerely, "I promise I will stay away from Sesshomaru in the future."

Shikigami smiled and said nothing.

……

Sesshomaru stayed for another two days and finally left.

Dongqing kept looking at the sky outside the window until the evil spirit completely left her range of perception, then picked up the book and continued to read.

If there is no accident, probably we will never meet again.she thinks.

Not long after Sesshomaru left, Reiko also came back.

"The monsters in the West are starting to retreat." Reiko sat under the eaves holding a cup of tea, looking at the distant sky and wondering what she was thinking, "Holly, summer is over, you should go out and practice."

Dongqing didn't know what she encountered during this trip, so she could only respond: "Yes."

……

Summer is over soon.

On the day she left, Reiko didn't come to see her off.

Holly stood at the foot of the mountain, looked up at the seemingly small shrine on the mountain and said to Shikigami: "Man, have you noticed it?"

After Reiko came back this time, something was wrong.

Man also looked in the direction of the top of the mountain, and said softly: "Master Reiko hopes that you can grow into an independent great witch as soon as possible."

"I know. Don't you think it's too urgent?" Dongqing casually turned the juniper fan in her hand.

"Master Reiko once said that her time is running out. Maybe that's why it seems urgent."

"maybe."

Dongqing nodded faintly, put her hand on the cypress fan and looked at the club again, and then walked out of the village.

Shikigami slowly disappeared behind her.

……

"Fate! No birth! Void and formless!" Dongqing stared at the monster in front of her, holding the talisman paper between two fingers and standing in front of her eyes, and shouted coldly, "Fate of heaven! All evils are shattered!"

After finishing speaking, the talisman turned into a blue flame and rushed towards the opponent.In the sky full of flames, the monster covered in black feathers screamed and turned into ashes in an instant.

Holly watched the fire go out before turning around and walking towards the village.

In the few months after leaving the shrine, she has been wandering around, encountered many monsters, and her strength has improved a lot.

She came to this village four days ago and found that the villagers here were infested by a monster named "Momorant" all the year round, so she planned to get rid of the monster for them.

Now that the monster is dead, it's time for her to leave.

Back in the village, there were already several villagers waiting at the entrance of the village. When they saw her figure, they rushed up enthusiastically.

"Master Dongqing, these are fruits and vegetables from my house. You are tired from eliminating demons, so come to my house to rest tonight!"

The other pushed him away, stepped forward and said, "Master Dongqing, you should go to my house..."

"Miko-sama! Accept our gift!"

"Take my..."

"Master Holly..."

Dongqing was really a little headache from the enthusiasm of the villagers, she was silent for a moment before saying: "No need, I'm leaving tonight."

"Master Dongqing, what should we do when you leave?" Everyone looked at each other, and finally pushed a person out to ask.

"The monster is dead, and you don't have to live in fear anymore. As for me, I still have to travel, so I can't stay any longer."

Declining the villagers' invitation to stay for a few more days, Dongqing quietly left the village just like when she came.

After walking less than two miles, she turned her head and looked at the woods behind her. She twirled the juniper fan twice in her hand and said suddenly, "Come out."

No one answered.

The beautiful figure of Shikigami gradually appeared from the side.

"Owner."

Dongqing originally tapped her palms with a fan, but when she saw Man appearing, she paused immediately, and opened her juniper fan to cover her slightly twitching face.

"...not about you."

She raised her head full of doubts, but found that Dongqing had put down her fan, stared at the top of a certain tree, and took out a talisman from her small bag.

She narrowed her eyes and her voice suddenly became cold.

"Are you going to come out by yourself, or... shall I force you out?"
