【Inuyasha】White Moonlight and Vermillion Mole

Following Asuka, Kagome soon saw Kikyo. He excitedly raised his arm and greeted, "Good morning, Kikyo."

Kikyo, who was sitting on the ground, didn't know what he was thinking and ignored him. Kagome was not surprised. After running over, she stared at the shikigami next to her with interest.

How to turn a piece of paper into a shikigami? It's amazing. I want to learn.

However, when she got closer, a cold voice suddenly sounded.

"Good morning."

Huh?

Kagome's eyes moved back all of a sudden. He pointed at himself in disbelief, "Hey - Kikyo, are you greeting me?"

Kikyo glanced at him sideways, "... Is there anyone else here?"

Perhaps realizing that the question she asked was too stupid, Kagome scratched her face embarrassedly, laughed awkwardly twice, and secretly glanced at Kikyo.

The other party was busy with something, his eyes were drooping, Kagome was stunned, was it an illusion?

I always feel that Kikyo looks much softer than before, and seems to be... gentler to him.

...Does this mean she agrees with him?

So they are partners, right?

Kagome thought to herself happily.

"Kikyo, are we going to collect the Four Souls Jade next?"

"Yeah."

Kagome squatted down curiously, "What is this?"

Unexpectedly, after just asking a question, Kikyo actually handed her something. It was a small glass bottle that Kagome gave her to store the Four Souls Jade fragments.

There was something brown in it.

"For me?" Kagome reached out hesitantly to take it, and asked casually, "What is this?"

"My grave soil."

Kagome almost lost her grip when her fingertips trembled as soon as they touched the bottle, "Eh?"

He widened his eyes, "Grave soil?"

Did Kikyo go dig her own grave the night she disappeared?

"Why did you give me this?" The cold glass bottle was held in the palm of his hand, and soon it was stained with warm temperature.

Kikyo's grave soil, used to fill the wound crack when Naraku seriously injured her chest before. Kagome's heart skipped a beat. Was Kikyo injured?

He couldn't help but get nervous.

Kikyo picked up the bow on the ground and stood up. Kagome noticed that Kikyo had been busy with the glass bottle in his hand.

"There is my breath in the grave soil. Use your spiritual power to feel it and you can roughly know my direction."

Kikyo's words were light, as if she had said something insignificant, and Kagome's eyes twitched when she heard it.

He reminded, "Kikyo, grave soil is very important... What if it is taken away by bad guys, and they can keep track of your whereabouts at any time, or curse you?"

The close-fitting items of the witch, especially the hair and blood, can become a way to curse, not to mention Kikyo's body made of grave soil.

Kikyo chuckled when she heard that, "So you will take good care of it, right?"

"I'll leave my body to you."

The boy's dumb expression pleased her, and Kikyo turned around and walked forward, her slightly long hair falling in circles.

There was no contact, but Kagome felt that her heart was gently rubbed, itchy.

He slowly opened his eyes, raised his head and uttered, and came back to his senses, "Wait."

He caught up with Kikyo in two steps, "Kikyo, I will definitely take good care of it, and thank you for your trust!"

He was very happy.

Kikyo saw from the other person's face, which was 80% similar to hers, that it was completely different from her unexpressive restraint, enthusiasm, sincerity, and unconcealed joy.

She looked away and stared at the road ahead, "Yeah."

Kagome was indeed very happy, carefully holding the bottle of grave soil and looking at it again and again.

She looked a little absent-minded.

Everyone assumes that he exists for Inuyasha, because Kagome is the reincarnation of Kikyo. The earthly bond between Kikyo and Inuyasha, and the existence of the Four Souls Jewel, created Kagome.

After saying this so many times, even Kagome herself sometimes feels that he came to redeem Inuyasha.

Kagome sometimes feels dazed. Who does he really exist for? Is he coming to this era to destroy the Four Souls Jewel? Or is it because everyone says "Kikyo's reincarnation" after seeing him?

His existence... always depends on external things.

However, whether it is Higurashi Kagome or Higurashi Raki, he is himself, and his existence is independent.

Every action of Kikyo tells him that he, Kagome, has his own ideas and choices. They are reincarnations, and they are two different people.

In the past... it seems that from the past, the one who was entrusted with life was Kikyo.

Although it was full of tentativeness.

Kagome glanced at the two shikigami nearby. She remembered that they said that only a small part of Kikyo's grave was left, and most of it was taken by Rito to revive Kikyo.

The remaining grave soil...

——"Why did you save me?"——"You should be able to make a choice, to save me or not."

——"Then I won't thank you."

——"Because it's your decision."

Thinking of Kikyo's cold look back when she was eroded by the miasma, Kagome half-opened her eyes. She still gets a little angry when she recalls it now. His temper is really stubborn and awkward.

After getting to know him for a while, you can find that every word of this person is dishonest. Obviously, I respect his ideas, but he just drags it into the choice and not to choose.

It makes her Kikyo look like a cold and heartless person who doesn't know how to be grateful. Kagome can't help but complain.

A strong person with a hard mouth.

Well, forget it.

Kagome carefully put away the small bottle, walked briskly, and her eyes followed the drooping hair of the person in front of her.
