【Inuyasha】White Moonlight and Vermillion Mole

Kikyo looked up.

It was indeed beautiful.

The moonlight was bright, and the stars in the sky were twinkling. This was a rare sight due to the serious industrialization. You could see it every day here, of course, if there were no Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

Kagome looked up at the starry sky, and her eyes unconsciously shifted to Kikyo who was also looking up at the side.

The Kikyo I had seen before always had a cold face, and when she smiled, it was always a sneer and mockery... miserable.

However, Kikyo was calm and peaceful now, without any awkward relationship. Standing in the moonlight, her profile was particularly gentle...

Her heart beat twice, and when she blinked, she met the other person's black eyes that were full of doubt. Kagome was stunned at first, and then turned her head away in panic.

"Go, go back! It's late, go back and rest."

He stammered and said this, then turned and walked towards the temple.

After walking two steps with a confused mood, Kagome found that there was no movement behind her. Kagome looked back and saw Kikyo still looking at the moon.

Her thin figure seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, and she was full of loneliness and solitude.

She rubbed her fingertips twice, and the hesitation stayed in her heart for only a moment. Kagome suppressed her restless heart, strode back to Kikyo, and held her hand.

"Go back, if you don't go back, everyone will worry."

Kagome smiled at her, "The moon won't run away, I'll accompany you to appreciate it when I have time."

You are not the only one, but everyone.

Kikyo understood, she lowered her head, her eyes swayed with Kagome's pulling hand, and the desolate feeling in her heart was thrown away bit by bit with the movement.

The warm hand grasped her hand, and she could obviously pull her hand back. Maybe it was a habit, maybe... Kikyo's eyes flickered.

Greedy for this kind of temperature.

Kikyo was pulled forward, and it was a bit novel.

She always walked in front, and Inuyasha followed silently behind.

Watching the backs of others like this, she didn't have to think or think, she could just empty her mind and leave it to the person in front...

That's all.

Only once.

Just this once.

Kagome looked straight ahead, but in fact her eyes were empty, and she didn't know where her mind had wandered to.

Her brain seemed to be evaporating, a white mist.

When she didn't have that thought, Kagome could hold Kikyo's hand without distraction, get close to Kikyo, and sometimes even get close to Kikyo because she didn't realize her gender.

Kikyo...hand.

It wasn't the first time she held it. When she was practicing, he would feel embarrassed when he touched Kikyo, wondering if his behavior was too reckless.

Later, when Kikyo indulged herself a little, Kagome often ignored her identity as a man and was very relaxed when she was with Kikyo.

Plop, plop.

Kagome's heart was beating so fast that she didn't dare to look back. Her mind was blank. She counted her steps, one, two, three...

The short journey made Kagome feel like she was walking on a marathon track.

When she returned to the temple, it was quiet and everyone had fallen asleep. When she walked all the way to the door of the room, Kagome immediately let go of her hand, as if she had finished something important.

"We're here. I'll... go back to sleep. Kikyo, you should also go to bed early."

She quietly put her hands behind her back and clasped them together.

No sweat, it's okay.

Kagome patted her chest in her heart.

He opened the door of his room. Kikyo's room was next to it, and there was Coral inside.

Stepping back into the room, Kagome saw Kikyo still staring at him, and she blinked twice.

Oh, she hasn't said it yet.

"Kikyo, good night."

It's a habit she developed during the dressing changes these days.

Because Kikyo always came back late at night, she would go to his room to check his wounds and change the dressings. Sometimes when Kagome saw Kikyo in a half-awake state, she would force herself to ask, "Are you back?" Generally, Kikyo would give him a little response, but he couldn't hear the content clearly, after all, he was very sleepy.

Over time, he habitually asked a question and then said "good night" before continuing to sleep.

"Good night."

Kikyo replied.

Watching the red and white figure open the door and walk in, Kagome completely retreated into the house and closed the door with her backhand.

"Click."

The wooden door collided gently.

Kagome let out a long breath, and finally didn't have to face--

He sighed and turned his head to face a human face.

Kagome widened her eyes, took a deep breath, and her heart was instantly lifted.

Miroku saw that the situation was not good, and quickly pushed Inuyasha away, covered Kagome's mouth with one hand, and raised his other hand, "Shhhh! Keep your voice down."

He glanced at Inuyasha who was standing beside him with his arms crossed, and said helplessly, "Inuyasha, don't scare Kagome."

"Tsk!" He snorted coldly.

Kagome was sweating coldly, and she almostScreaming in fear, his eyes turned around the room blankly, and then he realized that there were two night owls hiding in the dark.

He calmed himself down, pulled Miroku's hand away, and patted his heart. This night, it was beating faster and faster.

He lowered his voice, "No, you two are not sleeping, and you don't turn on the lights. What are you doing in the room?"

Kagome was very upset and looked up and down at the two people, "Let's not talk about Inuyasha first, Miroku, why didn't you change your clothes? Are you going to steal in the middle of the night?"

"Ah... this," Miroku smiled, sat down with his hands in his pockets, and looked at him jokingly, "It's just that because our companion went out in the middle of the night and didn't come back, we were worried and couldn't sleep~"

"Who would have thought that he was going to--"

A hand pressed Miroku's head from above.

A hand was a step slower and tightly covered Miroku's mouth. Kagome's face flushed, and she gritted her teeth and said word by word, "Don't, say, it!"

Inuyasha, who was holding his head, also frowned. He and Kagome looked into each other's eyes through Miroku.

They all turned their heads away.

Kagome was embarrassed, and Inuyasha was angry.

"Well, I... I just took Kikyo out for a walk."

The matter of dead souls... Kagome hesitated for only two seconds, anyway, it was something she would know sooner or later, "Kikyo's energy was overdrawn, and she consumed a lot of physical strength. She just went to find dead soul bugs to collect dead souls to fill her body."

"Then I went with her, it's not what you think..."

Kagome couldn't listen to the words that were trying to cover up, and her voice became smaller and smaller. After she finished speaking with a stiff upper lip, Inuyasha's legs shook even more violently.

"Oh~" Miroku touched his chin, looking like he just realized it, "Is that so."

"Kikyo's body..."

"Hmm?" Miroku raised his eyes, "What happened to Kikyo's body? Didn't you find enough dead souls? It took a lot of effort to fight the fake water god before."

Inuyasha frowned.

Kagome was slightly stunned, and her embarrassment was temporarily put aside, "Eh? Miroku, you know about the dead souls."

"I know, I knew about it after Sango told me about the red dead soul worm last time."

"Huh? Kagome, you don't know?"

Last time when Kikyo was injured, Miroku thought Kikyo had told him when he saw that Kagome had no doubts about the red dead soul worm.

So...

Kagome looked at Inuyasha and then at Miroku, half-squinting her eyes.

Only he "didn't know".

Did Kikyo hide this from him?

No wonder Kikyo was in a weird mood today, asking him if he was afraid of her or something.

It seems that this person never confessed to her that her body needed dead souls. That's right, since Kikyo was resurrected, he has never seen Kikyo and the dead soul bug together.

Kagome felt as if she had strung a line together and saw the sky through the clouds.

No wonder... No wonder.

Just kept it from him.

"Yeah, I'm the only one who didn't know." Kagome smiled widely.
