The Story of the Miko

Some fish soup, rice and some vegetables from the morning were placed on the table. The boy seemed to be very hungry and devoured it hungrily.

"Eat slowly and drink some water first."

The mother-in-law stood aside and carefully looked at the embroidered robe on the boy's body, and asked Kagome in a low voice, "Where did you meet him?"

"When I went out to look for Inuyasha, I saw the clothes on his body and thought it was Inuyasha. I met him in the peach grove far outside the shrine. He was stealing peaches and I caught him."

"Didn't you see Grandpa Lin who was looking at Taolin?" the mother-in-law asked casually.

Kagome was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at her mother-in-law: "Isn't it the tabby cat that was looking at the peach forest? When Inuyasha and I went there, there was no one in the peach forest at all, only a group of lynxes were besieging the tabby cat. We all thought it was the cat watching the peach forest It's that cat."

The mother-in-law looked at Kagome, listened carefully to what she had to say, pondered for a while, and then said: "You and Xizi stay at the shrine, take care of Aoki and Kamo, and I will go out for a while." After finishing speaking, she walked out of the shrine.

The boy's long, loose hair fell on his shoulders, with food crumbs in his hand, and his eyes were clear and bright.

"Where are you from?" Kagome asked.

The boy froze for a moment, threw away the food, turned his head to the side and remained silent.

"If you don't tell me, how can we send you back?" Kagome said anxiously.

Xizi grabbed Kagome and said slowly, "We are not bad people. This is a shrine. We are witches from the land of nowhere. We can help you go home."

I don't know which sentence touched the young man, he suddenly turned his head to look at Kagome: "You, are you witches?" Kagome and Xizi both nodded, and the boy hadn't spoken yet, tears were falling down .

He lowered his head, wiped his eyes with his robe and said slowly, "Our village is a place called Nanman in the land of nowhere." Kagome turned to Xizi, meaning where is the place called Nanman.Xizi also shook his head slightly, expressing that he was not clear either.

The young man seemed to see the secret words between them, and said: "Nanman is a very hidden village in the deep south of Dongwuzhixiang. Our village worships gods and witches, and believes that it is the most original source of maintaining nature and peace. Ten years ago, life in our village was still very peaceful, but suddenly one day, a gust of wind came from nowhere, and a notice was left in the eye of the wind, which meant that every five years, a young man would be dedicated to the God of Fengshen, As a servant of the wind god"

Kagome and Xizi were shocked when they heard this, the boy lowered his head, and said in a sad voice: "The village chief and the villagers all believe in gods, and the three men in the village have already dedicated themselves to the wind god. This year is me, but I just don’t believe it, I heard that somewhere in the land of nowhere lives a witch who is in charge of the entire village, so, so”

"Did you escape?" Xizi asked.

"Well, I escaped for a full ten days, and all the food I brought out was eaten up."

"It's already very dangerous inside the land of nowhere. It's really not easy for you to be safe until now."

"Most of our village are hunters, and they know how to live in the forest the most. But, just, I thought that the witches of the land of nowhere are just legends, and they will never be found again."

"Wind God?" Kagome tilted her head and thought for a while, "I have never heard of this kind of god in the land of nowhere, Xizi, have you heard of it?" She asked Xizi.

"Let's talk about it when mother-in-law comes back."

In the afternoon, the mother-in-law walked into the gate of the shrine, also with a face of contemplation.

"Grandma, mother-in-law." Kagome and Xizi called out.Waiting for her to approach, he explained the whole story in detail.

After hearing this, the mother-in-law nodded and said in a slow voice: "In Dongwuzhixiang, there is indeed a place like Nanman. They think that they are the people left behind by the Jun Kingdom, have noble and pure blood, and are the least able to contact the outside world. So as not to tarnish their bloodline. And they also closed the village to prevent outsiders from entering."

The mother-in-law glanced at the boy, pondered for a while and said, "How about this, Kagome, you and Inuyasha go to Nanban to find out what happened, and stay with Aoki."

Then he turned his head and said to Xizi: "Xizi, come here, I also have some things for you to do here." After speaking, he walked into his bedroom.Xizi nodded and followed.

Kagome was stunned for a while, then came back to see Aoki was still looking at her, coughed slightly and said to him: "You stay here and have a good rest, I'll go see how Huamao is doing." He walked towards his bedroom, but before he reached the door of his room, he heard the sound of rummaging through boxes and cats screaming threateningly.

Kagome rushed in suddenly, and saw the plump body of the cat holding Xiao Bai under her sharp claws, and opened her bloody mouth to reveal the red mouth and sharp teeth inside.

Xiao Bai was pressed to the ground and shivered, his white fur was in a mess and he let out a mournful cry.Kagome froze there immediately, watching Huamao raised her eyes, the light yellow was cool and flat.

"Let go of Xiaobai!" Kagome yelled, and then pulled out a charm, and it made a cracking sound when it was thrown over.The flower cat's reaction was also very quick. It lowered its head and picked up the fur from Xiaobai's back, and jumped onto the nearby table with a "crack".

It held Xiaobai like a mouse, and looked at Kagome indifferently in a blink of an eye, and heard her say: "Leave Xiaobai!" The fat body just stayed on the table for a while and then broke out through the window.

Kagome chased it out, but was grabbed by Xizi, "You stay here to complete the task that mother-in-law entrusted to you, and I will chase after the flower cat." After saying a word, Ni jumped in from the courtyard behind the back wall and came to Xizi. before.

"And Xiaobai, it took Xiaobai away!"

"I know!" Xizi nodded, "Don't worry, I'll bring it back." After speaking, he stepped on Ni and chased after the cat in the direction where the cat escaped.

"Kagome!" Kagome turned around.

"Grandma, Xiaobai was taken away by that cat." She looked anxious and almost cried.

"I already know." The mother-in-law nodded and said to Kagome: "I also became suspicious just now, and Xizi has already chased me. Don't worry, Xiaobai Xizi will be responsible for bringing it back. The most important thing for you now is to bring the Get Inuyasha back, and go to Nanban with Aoki to see what happened there."

"Inuyasha" Kagome lowered her head and whispered, "I'll go find him."

Walking out of the shrine, he released a folded talisman, threw it into the air, and turned into a paper crane, spread its wings, and flew into the air.Kagome followed the paper crane until the end of a cliff. The paper crane swooped into the cliff, and Kagome lay on the edge of the cliff and looked down.

Inuyasha sleeps with his eyes closed on a pine tree trunk on a cliff, and there is a deep pool below, with a touch of green lake water. "Inuyasha! Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted standing on the edge of the cliff.There is no sound below.

Kagome leaned over the edge of the cliff and said aggrievedly: "Inuyasha, I know I was wrong."

There is still no echo below.

"That cat, it took Xiaobai away" At this point, Kagome started to cry, she didn't know why she was crying, she just felt that in front of her, there was a stomach full of grievances and countless bitterness.I just want to cry out loud.

But before she burst into tears, Inuyasha jumped up from below and looked at her with dissatisfaction: "Stop crying, I'll go and catch that stinky cat and bring back that fox by the way, our How can someone covet something." Just as he was about to lift his foot, he found that the hem of his robe was being pulled.

He lowered his head, Kagome tugged at his robe, burst into tears, and wiped all his tears on it.It made Inuyasha have to be cautious when speaking: "Didn't I promise to help you recover the fox, don't cry." He squatted down and wiped the tears left on Kagome's face with his hands.

"Grandma - let you - go with me - Nanban. Xiaobai - Xizi - has already chased after him." Inuyasha looked at Kagome who was pulling his robe, and frowned helplessly: "Okay, Don't cry, let's go back."

He stretched out his hand, pulled Kagome up and put it on his back, as if this was already a natural thing to do.

Kagome hugged his neck, still choking, so Inuyasha slowed down, and the two walked back slowly. "Kagome, there's something I don't understand."

"Huh?" She stopped sobbing.

Inuyasha successfully diverted his gaze, and said with a sigh of relief: "At the beginning when we helped the dead fat cat out of trouble, we had already decided to let it find a place to recuperate by itself. Why did you suddenly change your mind later? What did it do to you? What? Or did it say something to you?"

Kagome buried her head down and didn't answer for a long time.

"Hey, just answer what I ask you, and don't think about escaping to solve the problem."

"I told you not to get angry or scold me." Her voice came from behind with a muffled buzz.

"Ah."

Kagome breathed a sigh of relief and said: "You still remember that when I stood in front of it, I also realized that its injury was not a big deal, thinking that if you don't like it, it can be alone. But, but, it suddenly put the cat Claws on my arm."

Speaking of this, it's been a long time since Kagome continued, "And then?" Inuyasha asked.

"At that moment, that soft, warm and scratchy feeling hit me. At that moment, I can't remember anything." Speaking of this, Kagome's voice became softer: "I Admit that I am a meat pad control, but, but, that cat's meat pads really have magical powers." Kagome's voice suddenly rose, emphasizing once again that she was bewitched and uncontrollable.

Cats and dogs are natural enemies. Hearing Kagome talking about cats continuously, Inuyasha's seldom exposed ears also perked up.Kagome's eyes couldn't help being attracted to it, watching it tremble, her eyes moved with it.

"Actually, there is one more thing that has always been a secret in my heart. Can I tell you?" Kagome asked.

"what?"

"You have to promise me one thing after listening."

"Go ahead."

"Actually, a long time ago, when your ears were exposed, I would be attracted to you involuntarily. I always wanted to reach out and feel what it felt like. I have always been embarrassed because of this." Kagome buried her head here Deeper: "But I can't help it, I just want to touch, Inuyasha, me, can I touch your ear?"

Inuyasha's ears pricked up, and then dropped down as if admitting defeat: "Only this time, you are not allowed to touch it again, do you understand?"

Kagome touched Inuyasha's ears, and her face turned red for some unknown reason. Fortunately, Inuyasha couldn't see it now, otherwise she would definitely think that her face was painted with a thin layer of color.

"Compared to cat's paws, Inuyasha's ears are the best. I seem to be drunk." Hearing these words, Inuyasha didn't say anything, but he couldn't hide the corners of his mouth and smiled.

Kagome had only seen this kind of smile once before, and she missed it for a long time, but unfortunately she couldn't see it this time.
