Those days in Honmaru

The current owner is completely different from the original owner, which I think is a very good thing.

It's just that he looks too small, and as a parent, he really worries me.

But I am still very experienced as a parent and should be able to take good care of him.

-someone's diary

The girl holding Natsume didn't let go until then, and she turned to face Natsume.Natsume was surprised to see that the girl kept her eyes tightly closed, her head slightly tilted to one side, as if she had no consciousness at all.

Now Natsume understood that the real leader was the woman in kimono, he secretly pinched a few talisman papers and asked, "Who are you?"

"Why, didn't Inuyasha and the others tell you?" The woman took out a fan, fanned it leisurely a few times, and said, "I am Kagura."

Kagura glanced up and down at Natsume like a scrutiny, and said uncertainly: "This spiritual power?"

As soon as the words fell, Kagura swung a few wind blades at Natsume, and Natsume immediately took out the talisman papers, and the talisman papers surrounded Natsume and stuck to the ground, and a circular barrier soon appeared around him , happened to block Kagura's wind blade.

Then Natsume threw out a few talisman papers for restraint, and the talisman papers obeyed the command and flew towards Kagura.

"Oh? Is this the method of Onmyoji?" Kagura looked very disdainful. She waved her fan casually, and a strong wind appeared out of thin air with her movements, sweeping the talisman papers and drifting away. , "Did I forget to say, I am the messenger of the wind, your method will not work for me."

It was the first time for Natsume to deal with the enemy alone, and as he said before, he was not good at fighting at all, and he quickly became powerless against an opponent like Kagura.

"Hmm..." Natsume thought that instead of attacking the opponent for nothing, it would be better to support the barrier for defense with all his strength. The distance between him and the village is not very far. Logically speaking, Kagome and the others should have discovered that he is not there. With Inuyasha around, it shouldn't be that difficult to find him, right?

"It's really boring." Kagura had no interest in testing Natsume from the very beginning, if it wasn't for Naraku's order...

Thinking of this, Kagura became inexplicably angry. She didn't even use more abilities, but just swung more wind blades, and this change made Natsume's barrier suddenly unbearable.

"Oops!" The sudden shattering of the barrier made Natsume unable to react in time. He had no time to use any spells, so he could only turn sideways and close his eyes to prepare to bear the wind blades.

"What!" Surprisingly, Natsume didn't wait for the pain to come, but Kagura let out a surprised voice.

He opened his eyes only to realize that he was actually protected by another enchantment that appeared out of nowhere, and a large number of wind blades hit it without even a little vibration. At the same time, he felt his left shoulder like Like burning, very hot.

Kagura stopped this unnecessary attack, and instead looked at Natsume thoughtfully. To be precise, Natsume's left shoulder was emitting a faint light: "Sure enough, you also have fragments of the jade of the four souls."

Jade of the Four Souls.

This is not the first time Natsume has heard this term. He has been popularized by Kagome early in the morning, and Granny Feng warned him.He also reminded Kagome to be careful of the time-traveling army before, but he didn't expect to be misunderstood as the holder of the jade fragment of the four souls first.

Natsume was still immersed in the rest of his life just now, his heart was beating fast, and his brain hadn't reacted yet.Natsume saw that the barrier protecting him gradually shrunk, and finally turned into light spots and penetrated to his shoulder.

Kagura's eyes flickered a few times, and she said to herself there: "Naraku asked me to see this onmyoji, which means that he should not know about this fragment, maybe...?" Maybe she can keep it by herself. Download this fragment?

Then Kagura put away the fan and put it on her chin, raised the corner of her mouth and said softly, "I'll give you a chance to honestly hand over the jade of the four souls, then I'll let you go, how about it?"

"What?" Natsume couldn't understand what Kagura was saying for a while, but Kagura frowned, and pointed to Natsume's shoulder, "Give it to me, I don't want to repeat it again."

"Eh? Wait a minute! This isn't..." Natsume stretched out his hand to press the hot spot on his shoulder. There was a protective spell set for him by that mysterious girl here. It has helped him a lot so far, and this time it saved him He was killed, but it seemed that he had brought even greater troubles...

"...Hmph, say whatever you want." Kagura immediately put away her smile. Natsume's explanation was regarded as a pointless struggle by Kagura, but it is also true that ordinary attacks cannot deal with the protective barrier. The girl next to her suddenly had a plan.

Not to mention that Kagura doesn't believe Natsume's words, even Natsume himself feels that this kind of explanation in this situation is a bit weak, but according to Kagome and the others, the only person who can directly see the jade of the four souls through things is Ge Wei, even if he let this person see the imprint on his shoulder, he would definitely think it was the change caused by the jade fragments of the four souls.

Natsume let go of the hand holding his shoulder. I don't know if it was his illusion. This protective spell gave him a feeling that it was getting weaker and weaker, but it is not impossible to think about it. The spells are all time-sensitive. It has been on him for a long time, and with the fact that he has just received quite a few attacks in one breath, to be honest, it is not bad if he can last until now.

It can be considered safe right now, but it can't stay here forever.

Natsume glanced at Kagura, who seemed to have delayed the next attack because of the barrier, and then closed her eyes for some reason. After waiting for a while, she suddenly started dancing here.

Kagura raised the hand holding the fan, and danced in a very small range according to a certain pace. The slight wind visible to the naked eye was close to the ground and penetrated in a little bit. Then Kagura raised his hand suddenly, He called out: "Follow my order and recover again."

A hair-raising scene appeared. Several cracks were cracked in the flat ground, and then many blue arms stretched out from the ground. These arms pulled the ground, and soon pulled the whole body out of the ground. When they came out, they were all girls who looked very young but died long ago.

Kagura watched this scene with satisfaction, and waved forward, these corpses belonging to the girls and the girl who stood aside from the beginning rushed past with an incredible speed.

Natsume gasped, turned around and ran immediately, and even pasted the acceleration talisman on his body. The whole process was as skillful as flowing water, which made people feel distressed...

Kagura followed them for two steps and then stopped quickly, frowning and turning his head to one side - that was the direction where Inuyasha and the others were led away, muttering to himself: "I found the puppet so quickly... "

She looked at the direction Natsume left in a daze and seemed unwilling, and then sighed suddenly as if she had figured something out: "Forget it, what's the use of the fragments, in the end, I still need to increase the strength of that guy." .”

"Stay here, it might be more useful." Kagura took out the feather decoration inserted in her hair and threw it into the air. The feather immediately became extremely huge. A whirlwind gathered around Kagura and brought her lightly to land on the feather. Looking at Natsume's distant figure with a playful expression, "Those should be a little adjustment for the little onmyoji."

Kagura controlled and flew in another direction: "Speaking of which, that guy should be back soon..."

-

Natsume took the time to look back while running, and found that Kagura did not follow him, only the corpses of those girls were chasing him. Natsume was a little surprised: "That person didn't come after him, why?"

However, this does not mean that Natsume's situation is much better.

Those corpses moved far faster than Natsume imagined, and they didn't run on their feet, but a strange wind swept them and flew towards Natsume quickly.

In a panic, Natsume didn't know when he ran into the dense forest. This was definitely a wrong choice, because Natsume soon realized that he would trip over various roots and branches, and those things had no scruples. Their bodies are so hard that they can even smash into tree trunks.

Seeing that they were about to be caught by them, Natsume reflexively rolled on the spot, but the manipulated corpses didn't change direction so quickly, they all fell to the ground and piled up, Natsume took advantage of this moment to get up quickly.

Natsume glanced at "that hill", and thought that all the things chasing him were there, so he breathed a sigh of relief, but when he turned around, he met a familiar figure, and Natsume took a step back silently: "This time Oops……"

The girl who had dragged him all the way from the village stood in front of him and quickly grabbed Natsume's arm. Natsume couldn't break free, and in such a short time, the other corpses also adjusted. , They did not attack Natsume but surrounded Natsume together, completely blocking Natsume's retreat.

To be honest, Kagura's trick is still very useful. After all, the protective spell on Natsume's body will automatically keep those filthy things out, but this human girl who is still alive can't be counted in this range, otherwise it wouldn't be in the first place. Let her succeed.

The girl held Natsume's hands tightly, preventing him from using any spells, and now Natsume was trapped here and couldn't move.

Natsume stood there helplessly. Fortunately, Kagura was not here. He looked around and said to himself, "Now... what should I do?"

At this moment, a few short arrows exuding pure white light shot from a distance, accurately pierced into the ground around Natsume, forming a perfect triangle, and then burst out a strong aura with purification ability .

The corpses around Natsume stopped all their movements, and gradually melted in the light without leaving any traces, and the girl let go of Natsume, and fell to one side as soon as her body softened. She was placed under a tree beside her.

After doing all this, Natsume felt relieved. He shouted in the direction of the short arrow, "Here I am! Kagome, Inuyasha!"

He didn't get any response to his call, anyway, with Inuyasha's temperament, he would start yelling as early as a long distance away, Natsume was wondering, but a person who was familiar to him and yet strange came out of the forest figure.

The priestess in red and white Shinto clothes slowly walked towards Natsume, and behind her were a few strange creatures floating silently. They all had light green bodies, long tails, and slender Holding a white ball of light in the middle of its claws, it is a monster named Death Soul Worm.

The moment this person walked out, Natsume thought she had an illusion, she and Kagome looked so much alike, if she didn't know that Kagome's expression would never be as indifferent as hers, Natsume would really admit his mistake.

"You are……"

The witch was still holding a bow and arrow in her hand, and she looked at Natsume quietly, which made Natsume always feel that she had seen through her whole body. The witch looked at it for a while, and finally said, "My name is Kikyo."

"Kikyo...?" Natsume looked at the almost identical appearance of the other party and Kagome, and thought of the incident that he had heard not long ago, and said in surprise: "You are Granny Feng's sister, the witch who guards the jade of the four souls ?!"

Kikyo didn't have much reaction to what Natsume said. Her attitude made Natsume feel that she was making too much of a fuss, but what Kikyo said next really shocked Natsume.

"You shouldn't be here alone, Lord God Judge."

"...how do you know!" Natsume was surprised that Kikyo directly called out his identity. He never revealed the name of the God Judge in the Warring States Period. Even to Kagome and the others, he always called himself an Onmyoji.

Kikyo said with a calm expression: "Even I would never have imagined that I would meet a real judge again."
