Crossover: A Different Inuyasha.

After Inuyasha and his group had traveled westward for three days, Jaken looked at the churning dark clouds on the horizon, turned around, and said...

"Young Master Inuyasha, it looks like it's about to rain. Let's find a place to rest."

Japan is neither too big nor too small; given the average speed of a monster, it would take four or five days to traverse the entire island.

Seeing that he could soon return with his fighting force, Jaken lost his initial urgency.

Inuyasha glanced up at the sky.

The dark clouds arrived suddenly and fiercely, and the mountain wind carried the damp, cold, and fishy smell of rain.

Several silver streaks flashed silently across the distant mountain ridge, followed by rumbling thunder.

"Let's find somewhere ahead to take shelter from the rain."

The three quickened their pace and passed through a bamboo grove that rustled in the wind.

Jieluo used her hair to probe the way ahead and soon found the cave hidden in the mountain valley.

The cave entrance is small and half-hidden by several clumps of dense bushes, but once you push them aside, you'll find a hidden paradise.

Inside was a natural grotto about two zhang square. The ground was dry, and a few bones left by some unknown animal were scattered in the corner. The entrance was sheltered from the wind and in a very good location.

As soon as the three of them entered the cave, it was as if the sky had been torn open.

The rain poured down.

The raindrops pounded on the rocks at the cave entrance, creating a white mist.

The distant mountains and nearby trees were completely blurred in the rain, and only the rumbling of the rain could be heard between heaven and earth, occasionally interrupted by deafening thunder.

Lightning struck, illuminating the cave entrance brightly, followed by a deafening roar.

"That was close, I almost got soaked." Xie Jian squatted at the cave entrance, leaning on his staff, and clicked his tongue in relief as he looked at the rain outside.

Jieluo looked around, wrinkled her nose in disgust, and used the strands of hair that flew from her fingertips to clean up the bones and rubble in the corner.

She then used her hair to sweep a clear space inside the cave before glancing at Inuyasha.

The latter smiled, leaned against the dry, clean rock wall, and sat down cross-legged.

Jieluo beckoned with her finger again.

Dozens of objects wrapped in hair flew in from outside the cave, startling Xie Jian, and landed in the center of the open space.

The loosened hair revealed a bundle of dry wood, uniform in thickness and with neat cuts, which Jieluo had picked up along the way.

Upon realizing it wasn't an enemy attack, Xiejian immediately perked up. He rushed to the woodpile, raised the staff with the human head, aimed it at the wood, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Staff with human head, start a fire!"

The old man on the top of the cane opened his mouth, and a fireball shot out, instantly igniting the dry wood.

The staff with human heads is a small magical artifact. As its name suggests, the top of the staff has two human heads facing away from each other; one is the head of an old man, and the other is the head of a woman.

The old man's mouth can breathe fire.

Humans would typically be burned to death by the flames of the staff with the human head, leaving not even a trace of their bodies.

At the same time, the staff with the human head has the ability to locate cemeteries.

The old man laughs when they approach the dog general's grave. If they are in the wrong place, the woman screams.

A burst of orange-red flames shot up, dispelling the chill and darkness of the cave and casting the shadows of the three people, which stretched and dwindled, leaping erratically across the rock face.

Just then, illuminated by the firelight, both Jaken and Jera saw it—

Inuyasha's once silver hair, as white as moonlight, was now gradually turning black, starting from the roots.

The silvery white receded like the tide, replaced by a deep, clear, pure black, gleaming with a warm, dark light in the firelight.

The dog ears on its head also shrank and deformed, transforming into ordinary human ears.

"Inu, young master Inuyasha!"

Jaken's eyes widened, and in an instant he guessed that it was Inuyasha's new moon.

Jieluo's pupils contracted slightly as the thought of whether or not to make a move swirled in his mind.

Inuyasha, now in human form, sports long, smooth, jet-black hair like his mother, and wears a lazy smile on his face.

His dark eyes reflected the flickering firelight and the faces of the two people as he spoke.

"It's just the new moon, which comes around once a month. What, don't you recognize me?"

Upon hearing this, Jaken immediately sprang to his feet.

"Lord Inuyasha, Jaken will keep this a secret and will absolutely not tell a third person besides Lord Sesshomaru!"

Oops, I let it slip!

"It's over!" 』

Before Xie Jian could change his mind, Jie Luo, whose expression flickered in and out of the firelight, waved his hand.

Her hair wrapped around Xie Jian's waist, and she flung him out of the cave.

Xie Jian drew a short parabola in the air and fell into the rain with a "plop", his head and face covered in mud and water.

Before he could even get up, the cave entrance was already completely covered by layers of hair, so thick that not even a sliver of light could get through.

"Hey! Hey!"

Evil Eyes panicked and lunged at the hair barrier, punching and kicking it, yelling, "What do you think you're doing, you female demon! Let me in!"

"Today is Inuyasha's new moon... Wait, what are you trying to do!"

The man with wrong views paced anxiously in the rain, his mind racing with the worst thoughts.

As a monster capable of seeing through evil, he could see the entrance to the cave covered by long hair.

What's the use of being able to see it?

If you can't get in, you just can't get in.

He gritted his teeth, took two steps back, raised the staff with the human head and aimed it at the cave entrance. Just as he was about to shout "Breathe fire!", Inuyasha's voice came from behind the hair barrier.

"Wrong view, come again at dawn."

The staff with the human head was held in mid-air, and rainwater streamed down its shaft.

Xie Jian opened his mouth, then swallowed the words back down his throat.

He turned away dejectedly, found a rock face that could barely shelter him from the rain, squatted down, curled up into a small ball, and muttered to himself.

Inside the cave, azure flames ignited from Inuyasha's shoulders and waist, hanging down like a cloak, and spreading along his body, gradually weaving into a flame garment covering his entire body.

The flames had no heat; they did not burn rocks or vegetation, yet they filled the cave.

Unique Spirit Armor: Garment of Kagutsuchi.

Yura was lifted high in the air, her neck gripped by Inuyasha's hand, her whole body suspended in mid-air.

Azure flames climbed from Inuyasha's arm up to her body.

It didn't burn an inch of her clothes or scorch a patch of her skin, but it was burning away her demonic power, her physical strength, and her will.

It was a searing pain that reached the very soul, as if one had been thrown into an endless abyss of karmic fire, where every wisp of consciousness wailed in the flames.

Inuyasha looked at Yura.

Bathed in the azure firelight, that human face displayed a coldness somewhat similar to Sesshomaru's, yet the arrogant smirk at the corner of his mouth was so roguish it made one's teeth itch.

"Jie Luo, even if I gave you a chance, you couldn't use it!"

With a flick of his wrist, he threw the female monster to the ground.

Jieluo groaned and rolled half a circle on the cold stone ground, her short, ear-length hair sticking messily to her cheeks.

Inuyasha sat down on the ground, propped up one leg, and rested his arm on his knee.

The flames gradually disappeared from his body, and the orange firelight inside the cave restored the temperature.

He looked down at her.

"Crawl over here, you bastard!"

Jieluo lay on the ground, his limbs, scorched by the azure flames, still trembling slightly.

She bit her lower lip, propped herself up on her elbows, and her knees scraped a shallow drag mark on the rough stone ground.

Like a tamed puppy.

With her head down, the shadows of her disheveled short hair obscured all her facial expressions as she slowly crawled beneath Inuyasha.

"Woof woof~"

With her head held high, a heart seemed to sparkle deep within her beautiful pink eyes.
