My personal opinion on Gensokyo

"Well... I feel dizzy..."

In Grandma Feng's room, a young girl with long black hair lying under the quilt gradually woke up, groaned softly, and opened her eyes.

The dizziness from blood loss has not yet disappeared. Saya, whose body is now that of an ordinary human girl, has to continue to endure the blood loss and weakness caused by the serious injury of a human body with low recovery ability.

Although it was not the first time that Saya used the "Heavenly Demon Reincarnation" taught to her by Shang Yang, and it was not the first time that Saya used the body of an ordinary human, but Saya had only used the "Heavenly Demon Reincarnation" to disguise herself as an ordinary human to design Naraku or other monsters.

This was indeed Saya's first experience of a human body being seriously injured.

"Grandma, please take care of the medicine. I'll go take care of the child first. Also, Inuyasha, you can go do something else. It seems that we won't be able to look for the fragments of the Shikon Jewel for a while."

Just as Saya was resisting the dizziness from blood loss and trying to get up, a girl's gentle voice sounded outside the door. After the girl outside the door finished speaking, the wooden door of the house was gently pushed open from the outside.

Outside the house, a girl wearing a light green and white sailor-style school uniform and with slightly fluffy long black hair pushed open the door and walked in. When she saw the young girl trying to sit up, her expression showed astonishment, and then she trotted over in a panic.

"Oh, not yet. You can't sit up."

Seeing the seriously injured young girl trying to sit up, Kagome, who had just walked into the house, immediately ran to the girl in a panic and helped her lie down again.

While helping the young girl lie down, Kagome also leaned over and called out loudly to Grandma Kaede who was outside the house looking for herbs that could be useful for the young girl's injuries.

"Grandma, the child has woken up~!"

"Really? You're such a lucky kid to have woken up from your coma so quickly."

Hearing Kagome's shout, Grandma Kaede outside the house also held the herbs in one hand, pushed open the door with the other, and slowly walked into the house with a hunched back.

After seeing that the young girl lying under the quilt had indeed woken up, a smile of relief appeared on Grandma Feng's aging face.

"As long as the child doesn't fall into a coma due to a high fever caused by the inflammation of the wound, his life will be saved."

"Yeah, no problem."

Hearing Grandma Kaede say this as she walked into the house, Kagome nodded affirmatively.

"I just touched her body, she doesn't have a fever."

"That would be really great."

Hearing this, Granny Feng shook her head and sighed.

"It's really not easy for him to survive such a serious injury, even being unconscious for a while in an environment filled with poisonous miasma. Kagome, if you had arrived a little later, this child would have become a deceased person in the Pure Land of the Other Shore."

"Yes, that's right."

Hearing her mother-in-law say this, Kagome nodded with lingering fear.

"It's just too dangerous."

Just as Kagome was talking to Granny Kaede, she suddenly discovered that after seeing herself and Granny Kaede, the young girl lying in the quilt, who looked much younger than herself, curled up her thin body in fear. She carefully pulled the quilt up with her little hands, covering her delicate little face, leaving only a pair of big eyes exposed as she observed herself and Granny Kaede.

"Oh, sorry, I haven't introduced myself to you yet."

Seeing the frightened behavior of the young girl with long black hair, Kagome immediately smiled softly and introduced herself after realizing the reason.

"My name is Kagome, Higurashi Kagome. I'm fifteen years old, and I'm a human, not a monster. My grandmother here is the village's miko. She's already taken care of your injuries, and she even used her spiritual power to dispel the demonic energy from them."

Hearing Kagome's words, the young girl hiding under the quilt seemed to relax a little. She looked again at the smiling Kagome and the equally kind-looking Grandma Kaede, and then, a little shy, spoke softly in a very pleasant and light voice.

"...You saved Saya, thank you..."

"Saya?"

Hearing these two words, Kagome reacted and nodded politely.

"It's okay. This is what my mother-in-law and I should do. But, Saya...is that your name?"

Hearing Kagome's question, the frail young girl also nodded gently, very politely.

"Well, Saya's name is Saya... Hello, Kagome-sister."

"Is that so? Well, nice to meet you, Saya-chan."

Hearing the girl say her name with certainty, Kagome smiled softly.

"Please give me more advice in the future."

Nodding slightly, the still very weak young girl turned her gaze to Grandma Feng who came over and sat down, and also politely thanked her in a low voice.

"Thank you, mother-in-law, for saving me."

"Don't be so polite, little girl. Just call me Grandma Feng. Your injuries won't be cured by me alone."

While comforting the girl, Grandma Feng also breathed a sigh of relief.

"If it weren't for you, my little girl, who was able to hold on in the poisonous miasma, I, your mother-in-law, would be powerless to help you."

"Well……"

Hearing Grandma Feng's sigh, the young girl seemed a little embarrassed and shrank her small body again.

"...Even if you say so, Saya was still in a coma..."

"Anyway, it's best if you can survive."

Hearing this, Grandma Feng comforted the girl.

"Your injuries are contaminated by the toxins of miasma and demonic energy. It's okay. Grandma has already treated them with herbs that can remove the toxins. It shouldn't be a big deal."

Having said that, Grandma Feng sighed again, feeling a little regretful and helpless.

"However, little girl, your injuries are too serious. Although they can gradually heal, there is no guarantee that they will not leave any residual problems."

"It's okay! I'm fine, grandma."

As soon as Grandma Feng finished speaking, the young girl lying under the quilt took it very easy and instead comforted the elderly Grandma Feng in a soft voice.

"It's good enough that you can save your life. Please don't worry too much, Saya."

Saying this, Saya actually comforted Grandma Feng and understood a little more in her heart.

Naraku captured many poisonous monsters and created a miasma poison that could corrode Saya's body. However, the effect on this human body did not seem to be as great as imagined.

Seeing the cheerful attitude of this much younger girl, Kagome was a little hesitant, but still asked softly.

"Then... Saya-chan, where are your parents? Why did you stay alone in that deep mountain forest filled with thick miasma? What exactly happened there?"

"...Saya has never had any relatives."

The young girl with long black hair shook her head slightly, and the expression on her delicate face seemed a little gloomy.

"As for why she ended up in that deep mountain forest filled with miasma and aura... well, Saya was captured there by a terrifying monster..."

"Eh? Little Saya..."

After hearing Saya's words and seeing her somewhat gloomy expression, Kagome began to blame herself and apologized to the young girl with long black hair with full of apology.

"…I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought up these things."

"it does not matter."

Seeing this gentle sister apologizing to her with full apology, the young girl showed a weak smile as if she didn't care too much.

"Please don't worry about it."

"Well……"

Seeing the girl's gentle smile, Kagome didn't know how to continue asking. Before Kagome could think of what to say next, the door was pushed open from the outside.

"Kagome! I heard that the little girl has woken up and started dancing!"

Pushing open the door, Inuyasha, wearing a fire rat fur coat, asked the question as a matter of course while walking into the house naturally.

"Hmm? Monster?!"

The young girl lying under the quilt quickly noticed Inuyasha's two ears standing up, which were very different from those of humans. She looked scared and shrank back into the quilt.

"Inuyasha~! You scared the kid!"

Noticing that the girl seemed very afraid of Inuyasha who stepped into the house, Kagome immediately turned sideways and reminded Inuyasha with some resentment, then turned back and hurriedly comforted the frightened little girl.

"Don't worry, Saya-chan. Inuyasha is a good youkai. He won't hurt you."

"…Hey, Kagome, what are you talking about?"

When Inuyasha heard Kagome call him a strange "good monster", he immediately became unhappy as he walked into the house with his arms crossed in the sleeves of the fire rat fur.

"I'm not some 'good monster'."

Hearing Inuyasha's shouting, which was completely inconsistent with Kagome's statement, Saya looked at Kagome and Grandma Kaede beside her with even more "fear" and hesitation.

Noticing that Saya seemed even more uneasy and frightened, Kagome glared at Inuyasha who looked unhappy. Seeing Kagome's anger, Grandma Kaede coughed and slowly explained to Saya.

"Don't worry, little girl. This guy is a half-demon who doesn't harm people. He's not an evil, bloodthirsty monster."

After hearing Grandma Feng's explanation, Saya also showed a look of obvious relief and was no longer so uneasy.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Hey, kid!"

Ignoring Kagome's complaints, Inuyasha sat down next to Saya naturally and asked with a little seriousness.

"You said you were abducted by a monster and taken deep into the forest. Do you remember anything else about that incident?"

"……Um."

The young girl, feeling much more relieved, recalled for a moment after hearing Inuyasha's question and nodded slightly.

"...Earlier, while Saya was picking up edible rice grains in the barren fields after the harvest, she found a strange, glowing fragment. Thinking it was a fragment of jade, she planned to trade it for some food in the castle town of a nearby mountain castle. But shortly after finding the fragment, a strange creature with loose, light white fur approached Saya... Then, Saya seemed to lose consciousness and fainted..."

After asking Naraku to take the blame without any hesitation, Saya pretended to try hard to recall the past and slowly recalled the past.

"Afterwards, although I was still unconscious, I barely opened my eyes, and that strange creature took me to that forest. And there..."

At this point, the young girl's delicate face revealed deep fear.

"Monsters! Many terrifying monsters surrounded that strange creature covered in white fur. They were all shouting at him to hand over the fragments of the Four Souls Jade..."

"really!"

Hearing Saya's memories, Kagome's tone was very affirmative.

"My feeling was right. So, it was Saya who picked up the fragment of the Shikon Jewel, and then Saya was captured by the evil monster who was also looking for the fragment of the Shikon Jewel!"

"And then, that youkai who stole the Shikon Jewel fragment and abducted this child... No, it's hard to say for sure whether he's a youkai or not..."

Grandma Feng seemed to be lost in thought.

"...That guy was surrounded in the deep mountains by a group of monsters who also wanted to snatch the fragments of the Four Souls Jade."

After hearing what Kagome and Grandma Kaede said, Inuyasha nodded slightly thoughtfully and continued to ask questions.

"Then, what happened later."

"later……"

After slowly repeating these two words, Saya's expression became more and more frightened. Kagome, who noticed this, felt a little distressed and hugged this young girl, who was much younger than herself, tightly in her arms.

Perhaps it was Kagome's embrace that made Saya feel a lot more at ease again. Although she was very scared, Saya still described her later memory fragments in a hurry.

"...Those monsters were quickly killed by that strange creature covered in white fur... At the end, it seemed to mutter to itself, 'Besides the fragments of the Shikon Jade, is it also because of her human scent that attracted the monsters? Then...'"

"...Saya doesn't know what happened after that..."

"Um……"

After listening to Saya's description, Grandma Feng nodded affirmatively and spoke slowly.

"It seems that this is indeed a dispute over the fragments of the Shikon Jewel. The girl's injuries were probably caused by the fellow in white fur, who wanted to prevent her from becoming a burden. However, although he probably wanted to kill the girl, he didn't know that this seriously injured girl held on until you, Kagome, and Inuyasha rushed over..."

Having said that, Grandma Kaede looked at Kagome and Inuyasha again with a serious tone.

"Kagome, now we know that there's another mysterious guy we don't know much about who's searching for the fragments of the Shikon Jewel. Judging from how cruelly he treated this little girl, we can tell that he's not a kind person. We need to be more careful from now on."

"Ah."

Hearing what Grandma Kaede said, Kagome nodded affirmatively.

"Don't worry, mother-in-law, I will pay attention, and..."

At this point, Kagome felt very angry.

"Besides, no matter what, that guy hurt Saya-chan like this. I will never let such a despicable guy go!"
