Those days in Honmaru

After getting away from the town occupied by monsters and the time retrograde army, everyone stopped.

Kagome turned her head frequently along the way, until the town disappeared from her eyes, and she never saw Kikyo's figure leaving from there, so she couldn't help but said worriedly: "Kikyo is okay, she's only there alone."

"That's right, she really shouldn't be left alone." Inuyasha scratched his head. Although he had already sorted out his relationship with Kikyo, the relationship over the years would naturally not just dissipate with the wind. He was worried I almost jumped up, "Otherwise, I'll go back and take a look."

While talking, he looked at Kagome, as if as long as she agreed, he would leave immediately.

"Say...that's true." Kagome didn't think so much about Inuyasha. Putting aside those misunderstandings in the past, she had long regarded Kikyo as a senior she respected, not to mention Kikyo coming over to help them again and again. rescue.

"Then I'll leave right away!" Inuyasha signaled Mitreya and the others to be optimistic about Kagome, and was about to leave, but was stopped by a voice.

"It's not necessary."

Inuyasha and Kagome looked in the direction of the sound together, the Fusangshin quickly sorted out a place for rest, and Tsurumaru carefully placed Natsume there.

Natsume has been in a comatose state, and was carried back by Tsurumaru the whole time.

It is probably because Natsume here is only a part of the soul, and a long sleep is needed to ensure the stability of the soul.

According to Tsurumaru's speculation, when the Natsume here wakes up, the real Natsume at the shrine will be forced to fall into sleep. Only when the two parts of the soul are refused together, such symptoms will disappear. .

Tsurumaru handed Natsume over to other people for the time being, walked to Inuyasha and whispered to them, "Don't worry about Miss Miko's safety, she's not the only one there."

Kagome froze for a moment, recalled what she had seen before, and said in confusion, "Eh? But obviously..."

"With her ability, if you don't want you to know where she is, it's still very simple."

Tsurumaru didn't want to mention more about the other person, but said to Kagome and the others: "Simply speaking, if she is here, it is easy to summon Fusangshen like us, since there is no time for so long The retrograde army is chasing after you, then you don’t have to worry about things over there.”

Tsurumaru said it was for this sake, and Inuyasha hesitated to give up the idea of ​​going back.

-

After Tsurumaru calmed down the few people over there, he sat cross-legged beside Natsume and looked down at the boy's peaceful sleeping face.

Fudo Xingguang can finally have a good rest at this moment, and Zhengxiang is sleeping next to a tree.

Smiling Qingjiang was not worried about the safety of the surrounding area, and because he didn't contribute much in this operation, and he was able to hold on physically, so he simply went to patrol the surrounding area.

Higakiri helped Kagemaru bandage the inconvenient wound of the other party, while Mikazuki Sokami sat beside Natsume and looked after him, blinked and looked sideways at Tsurumaru for a while, and whispered to him: "About 'that person' Do you want to tell us about it?"

"Huh? Oh, you said her..." Tsurumaru didn't know what he was thinking, and his reaction was unexpectedly a little slow.

Tsurumaru rubbed his chin, turned his eyes on several people, and said while coping: "She is also a member of the Government of Time, and occasionally she will come over to deal with the problem when the interrogator is in crisis, anyway, she is not a bad person."

"I don't think everyone will accept such a simple explanation."

Tsurumaru came to his senses now, stretched out his hand and pointed at Higekiri and Kagemaru, and directly pointed the finger at the two brothers, saying: "If you have to say something, you know that person."

The Genji brothers looked at each other, and Higakiri tilted his head with an innocent look on his face. He asked suspiciously, "What are you talking about, Tsurumaru."

After leaving the battle, Fu Sangshen, who was furious because of his younger brother's injury before, now returned to a dazed look, and he didn't know which one was his real character.

But Kemaru was happy for a long time, and it was rare for Higiri to call him by his name correctly.

"I guess Tsurumaru-sama is probably referring to the former master, brother." Keimaru reminded Higiri helplessly, he scratched his hair, looked at Tsurumaru puzzledly, and asked: "But, how did Tsurumaru-sama know What? My brother and I probably haven’t said anything about the former owner..."

"There is no need to talk about her now, I will meet her one day." Tsurumaru smiled and decided to end the topic: "If you know everything, it will be meaningless Already."

As soon as he said this, Mikazuki Zongjin, who was originally staying by Natsume's side, narrowed his eyes and laughed silently, and swallowed back what he wanted to say.

-

When Natsume opened his eyes, he found that he was lying under a tree for some reason, and in a place he had never seen before. For a moment, doubts arose in his heart: he should stay in the shrine with Tsurumaru...

However, such doubts quickly disappeared like bubbles, and the people around him came over as soon as he made any movement.

"Finally woke up?" Tsurumaru leaned over to look at Natsume in the same tone as usual. Seeing that Natsume didn't respond, he tilted his head slightly, and raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Or should we ask again, do you still remember?" us?"

"... Tsurumaru?" Natsume sat up straight with Tsurumaru's help, his thoughts were still a little confused, he looked at the crowd around him, and didn't quite understand why everyone looked at him with worried eyes.

"Everyone... what's wrong?"

Natsume was even more inexplicable. He felt that his memory was a little fuzzy and his body was a little out of control, so he subconsciously looked down at the palm of his hand and let out a low voice in surprise.

"I'm...?" Natsume was startled when he saw that his body was translucent.

"My lord, don't you remember what happened to me?" Mikazuki Zongjin's voice came from the side, Natsume stared at him blankly for a while, and then said as if suddenly remembering: "Ah, by the way, me and When Mikazuki went to the shrine, he was suddenly teleported to the past era, and then...uh..."

Afterwards, the memory became blurred again, and Natsume pressed her head and couldn't remember it.

Seeing the painful expression on Natsume's face, Tsurumaru immediately put his hand on Natsume's shoulder and said to him, "Don't think about it, don't worry, it will be fine soon."

"...Hmm." Natsume fell into a state of trance again. Although she responded to the questions of the people around her, she seemed obviously unconscious.

-

"That is to say, onmyoji kid doesn't remember about us?" Master Maitreya came to this conclusion after learning about Natsume's situation from Mikazuki Zongjin and Tsurumaru.

Maitreya rubbed his chin and looked towards Natsume. Qibao and Fudo Yukimitsu were taking care of Natsume. This was an easy job, because now Natsume seems to listen to what others say seriously.

But from another perspective, this is really a bad phenomenon.

Mikami Tsukimune nodded, and Tsurumaru said, "So, we plan to go to where his body is at the fastest speed."

Maitreya understood what Tsurumaru meant, and said to Tsurumaru: "It seems that we have to divide our forces into two groups, and let us create some trouble for those people in Naraku, so that you can move more easily."

"If possible, I hope you can help us again."

Sanri Yuezong lowered his head slightly, and he continued: "For the safety of the lord, once we find the lord, we will return to our own era as soon as possible, and there will be no time for the retrograde army to attack there."

Mitreya nodded and said: "This is in line with our goal, even if you don't say it, we will do it."

He pointed to Inuyasha who stayed in the distance and added in a low voice: "That guy will definitely trouble Naraku as soon as possible."

Tsurumaru reminded Mitreya: "Don't force yourself too much, anyway, that person is also in this era, maybe you will meet her."

Coral also listened for a while and understood why Mikazuki Zongjin looked apologetic. She looked at Natsume regretfully and said, "Then this time, maybe it will be the last time we meet..."

Qibao heard Coral's voice from a distance, he pulled Natsume's clothes, and said sadly, "Are we really going to separate?"

"Qibao..." Natsume murmured Qibao's name, subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch the other person's head, and said softly, "See you again."

"...!"

Qibao looked up in surprise, and met Natsume's eyes. Natsume said to him very gently, "Next time, I'll tell you a story."

"Well... it's a deal!" Qibao silently lowered his head and rubbed his eyes, then stretched out his little finger and raised it in front of Natsume. "We have an appointment with Lagougou!"

"promised."

Hearing the movement from Natsume's side, Tsurumaru laughed softly, and said to Mitreya, "Although we have to say goodbye, it's obviously not the last time we meet, after all, he said so."

Maitreya also smiled and said, "Yes, then pray that our next meeting will not be as tense as this time."

-

The Fusangshen were ready to set off with Natsume. Before leaving, Kagome said to Natsume: "Well, although you may not remember it now, but if you remember it, you must notify me as soon as possible. If I am not at school , tell Eri they can do it too!"

Inuyasha folded his hands on his chest, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Tch, I forgot everything here... When you are well, I will definitely run over and beat you!"

"Uh... sorry?" Natsume replied in a daze, and the corner of Inuyasha's mouth twitched, always feeling that this kind of answer was a bit depressing.

"Sit down!" Accompanied by a familiar voice and a flash of white light, Inuyasha was forcibly smashed to the ground again, and the others ignored Inuyasha's state and walked around to say goodbye to Natsume and the others, which made Natsume smile happily When he got up, seeing this, Inuyasha suppressed all his complaints.

Natsume fell asleep again unknowingly while saying goodbye to everyone, and the fusangshen didn't stay any longer. They led Natsume along the direction indicated by Tsurumaru, and soon disappeared.

Qibao lay on Kagome's shoulder, still reluctantly looking at the place where they left, and said, "They have gone away, I don't know when we will meet again."

Kagome patted Qibao on the head to comfort him and said: "It's not that we have already made an appointment, Natsume-san will come back again. Moreover, he will always return to the present world, and I will know the news as soon as possible!"

"Okay, okay, let's put this aside for now." Maitreya drew the attention of these two people back, and repeated what he had said to Sanri Yuezong and the others.

Inuyasha said disapprovingly: "I know, I know! Anyway, there is one more reason to kill Naraku, it's that simple! Let's go! After so long rest, we should go!"
