【Inuyasha】White Moonlight and Vermillion Mole

"...evil spirit?"

Looking at the sincerity in Kagome's amber eyes, Inuyasha seemed to realize that now was not the time to dwell on his own selfishness.

He took out a fragment from his chest and handed it to Kagome's palm. When he saw the tiny scars on her palm, he was slightly stunned.

This was... the injury in my father's grave.

What did he say at that time?

——"I will protect you well and won't let you get hurt again."

Inuyasha's eyes darkened, and he took his hand back silently, and narrated the whole process of how he got the fragment of the Four Souls Jade.

"It was yesterday. I was looking for a monster with the Four Souls Jade, and was blocked by a monster. I didn't want to care about it, but I didn't expect that monster to provoke me. During the fight, I found that it actually had the Four Souls Jade, so I snatched it."

Kagome listened carefully, and the fragment of the Four Souls Jade was instantly purified when it touched his hand, and he also caught the familiar breath inside.

Naraku's evil spirit.

It was hidden very deeply. If he had not fought with Naraku countless times to win the Four Souls Jewel, he would probably have only thought it was a trace of being tainted by the demonic energy.

"Continue."

Kagome urged.

"... That demon was very persistent. Its body kept recovering and it could not be killed. Later, the fight lasted too long until the evening..." Inuyasha lowered his voice and gritted his teeth.

Kagome stopped him, "No need to say, I understand. Did you show the fragment to Kikyo?"

Inuyasha shook his head, "... Kikyo didn't ask."

He was angry about what Kikyo said at the time, and Kikyo didn't mention the fragment.

"After that, Kikyo said that there were many demons gathered around and took me back to the village. As soon as I returned to the village, a wave of people came. Kikyo asked me to go back to the room to rest. I don't know what happened next."

If he had asked one more question at the time, if he hadn't been injured at the time, if...

Inuyasha clenched his fists, his eyes were obscure, half-demon... well.

"What's wrong with this Four Souls Jade fragment?"

Kagome threw the purified fragment to him, "There is a breath of Naraku in it."

"Naraku? Is it the spider demon?" Grandma Kaede thought.

"Yes, but logically speaking, Kikyo and I did not take the initiative to contact Naraku, and neither did Inuyasha, but why did Naraku take the initiative to attack Kikyo?"

How did he know?

Kagome was puzzled, and did not notice that Inuyasha beside him was tense all over, and his face suddenly became ugly.

Contact... He has been fighting everywhere in the past few days to find the fragments of the Four Souls Jade. The strange thing is that he did not find a single fragment. Instead, when he turned into a human on the night of the new moon, a monster with a fragment came to him.

Inuyasha is not stupid, and he quickly realized the strangeness.

Grandma Kaede looked back at Inuyasha, who looked ugly, and when she retracted her gaze, her eyes met with Kagome's.

Grandma Kaede nodded at him. Could it be... Kagome's eyes fell on Inuyasha.

He quickly remembered that Miroku said that Naraku had left an evil spirit in the cave fifty years ago. Perhaps Naraku had already noticed it when Kikyo entered that time.

Perhaps even earlier, for example, after he shot through and shattered the Four Souls Jewel, Naraku had returned to this village.

During that period, Kikyo did not revive. Thinking of what Inuyasha and Grandma Kaede said, the person who commissioned the exorcism in the middle of the night, and the city lord...

It is certain that it is Naraku.

There is no mistake.

So, the monster whose fragments were snatched by Inuyasha was also instigated by Naraku, otherwise how could it be so coincidental that it happened during Inuyasha's Sakuya period.

The three of them changed their faces at the same time, realizing that Kikyo's appearance might really be an accident, and Naraku's original target was Inuyasha.

Kagome's back was covered with cold sweat. Naraku might have been around the night when Kikyo was taken away.

"The person who commissioned the exorcism..." Grandma Kaede exclaimed, "Is it a demon spider in disguise?" So Kikyo asked her not to follow, Kikyo might find that the group of people was not right.
