My personal opinion on Gensokyo

Volume 6: Thoughts Across Time and Space: Chapter 362: Hidden Feelings

"...Thank you, Kagome-nee."

Seeing that Kagome was very angry because she was injured, the young girl also showed a grateful and gentle smile, and naturally called Kagome Higurashi, who looked several years older than the girl, "sister".

"Ok!"

Hearing Saya naturally calling her "sister", as the eldest daughter in the family, she had long been accustomed to taking care of her younger brother. Kagome Higurashi, who was relied upon by her younger brother, once again showed a gentle smile and comforted him carefully.

"Little Saya, just stay here with Grandma Kaede and recuperate. Even if that despicable guy who hurt you comes again, Inuyasha and I will beat him away! Right, Inuyasha?"

"...Ah, that guy's goal is also the Four Souls Jade fragments. If that's the case, then we will inevitably encounter him."

Inuya still crossed his arms, full of confidence, after hearing what Kagome said.

"When the time comes, I will make sure that despicable guy knows how powerful I am!"

"Cough cough..."

After coughing, Grandma Feng also comforted the young girl who was lying obediently under the quilt.

"Even after your injury heals, you can stay in this village, little girl. In this day and age, it's hard for you to survive alone."

"……Eh?"

Hearing the comforting words that Grandma Feng slowly said, the young girl seemed to have never expected Grandma Feng to say that, and was slightly stunned.

"Grandma, you, you mean, you want Saya to stay?"

"Yep!"

Hearing what Grandma Kaede said, Kagome also tried to persuade the girl seriously.

"Even after your wounds heal, Saya-chan should stay in the village. Just like grandma said, in this era of constant war, it's hard for a girl to survive alone. Saya-chan should stay in the village."

“…Ah, that’s right.”

After hearing what Grandma Kaede and Kagome said, Inuyasha, who still had his hands folded in the sleeves of his fire rat fur coat, expressed his agreement indifferently.

"In this era, there are countless monsters in the mountains and forests. If a little girl like you lives alone, you will probably be killed by cruel monsters like this time. It is better for you to stay in this village."

"...Well, thank you."

Saya seemed to be a little stunned by the persuasion of Grandma Kaede and Kagome. After coming to her senses, she nodded seriously and vigorously, her soft voice extremely serious.

"Thank you, mother-in-law, thank you, sister Kagome, thank you, big brother..."

"...Saya will stay here."

After agreeing to stay in Maple Village with great seriousness, the young girl turned her gaze to Grandma Maple, her gentle tone still extremely serious.

"...Mother-in-law, please allow Saya to stay here and help me with some things from now on."

"Saya can do anything."

Hearing Saya's serious request, Grandma Feng was a little stunned, but soon she comforted her.

"...Well, after your injury heals, you can follow me and learn how to heal illnesses and injuries, as well as how to manage the shrine."

"...Uh, learning to heal illnesses and injuries, and managing the shrine?"

Hearing what Grandma Kaede said, Kagome subconsciously repeated it, and the modern girl who was born in a shrine family also reacted.

"Grandma Feng, do you want to...?"

"That's not the case, Kagome."

Hearing this, the elderly Grandma Feng sighed and spoke slowly.

"I am old, Grandma. Whether it's exorcising demons or protecting the village that my sister entrusted to me, I am no longer able to do it."

"It's not that I want this child to become the shrine maiden of Maple Village in the future. It's just that I, your mother-in-law, am the only one in the village who has learned medicine."

Speaking of this, Grandma Feng couldn't help but sigh.

"Perhaps I, Grandma, will pass away someday, but this child will have to continue living here. She can learn some medical skills from me, or learn some methods of guiding and using spiritual energy. In this era of constant war, this child will be able to live a safer life."

Hearing Grandma Kaede's somewhat emotional words, Kagome was silent for a moment.

Although Grandma Kaede didn't say it explicitly, Kagome had already thought of it. Although she was staying in the Warring States Period now, the fragments of the Shikon Jewel would one day be collected by her and Inuyasha. After solving the trouble caused by her, it would be time for her to leave the Warring States Period and return to the modern era five hundred years later.

Similarly, Inuyasha will also leave this village in the future... Then, just like what Grandma said, after Grandma passes away, only Little Saya will be left living alone in this Maple Village...

However, before Kagome could say anything, Inuyasha, who had been sitting cross-legged with his hands crossed in his wide sleeves, suddenly stood up as if unhappy and snorted.

"...Tsk, humans are really troublesome."

Inuyasha said this as if he was a little annoyed, then he stood up, opened the door and walked out.

It seems that Inuyasha is not happy to listen to humans talking about topics such as life and death.

Moreover, even Inuyasha himself didn't notice that after hearing what Grandma Kaede said just now, a trace of uncontrollable irritation inexplicably arose in his heart.

"Eh?! Inuyasha, you're going to…"

Seeing Inuyasha's unexpected behavior, Kagome subconsciously asked, but before Kagome could finish her words, Inuyasha left the house and closed the door. Kagome had to stop, swallowed the remaining words, and turned her confused look to Grandma Kaede, who was also confused.

"Grandma, what's Inuyasha doing..."

"……Ugh."

Grandma Kaede, who was also a little puzzled by Inuyasha's sudden strange behavior, thought for a moment, shook her head, and spoke slowly.

"Maybe it has something to do with Inuyasha's mother..."

"Inuyasha's...mother? Ah..."

After hearing what Grandma Kaede said, Kagome quickly reacted, nodded, and understood a little.

Inuyasha's mother is an ordinary human.

Previously, when Inuyasha's brother Seshomaru wanted to take Tessaiga from Inuyasha, he used the appearance of Inuyasha's long-dead mother. At that time, she also saw Inuyasha's longing for his biological mother...

Perhaps, what Grandma Kaede said just now reminded Inuyasha of his biological mother again...

Just when Kagome and Grandma Kaede thought that Inuyasha's strange behavior was because he remembered his biological mother who was a human, Saya, lying under the quilt, quietly watched Inuyasha turn away with a strange look on his face, and came to another different conclusion in her heart.

...Not necessarily, it doesn’t seem to be entirely true.

Although Saya was born into this world by the power of Shangyang, she also absorbed the emotions of countless monsters at birth and is extremely sensitive to emotions.

Indeed, the words of the elderly grandmother Kaede made Inuyasha more or less recall his biological mother, Princess Izayoi, the daughter of an ordinary human daimyo.

But Saya could sense that Inuyasha was not so much reminiscing about the past as he was... rejecting the present and thinking about a certain moment in the future.

Or to be more precise, Inuyasha is subconsciously rejecting the fact that Kagome Higurashi, who was born in the modern world five hundred years later, will one day leave this Warring States period.

Saya, who did not specifically learn about the "story" of these two people from Shangyang, now noticed something that even Inuyasha himself seemed to have not noticed.

Unconsciously, Inuyasha, a half-demon of the dog clan, who is half of his father's dog demon blood and half of his mother's human blood, and the second son of the dog general Toga, has gradually developed a hidden emotion of "missing"...

Volume 6: Thoughts Across Time and Space: Chapter 363: Maitreya Arrives

After leaving the house where Grandma Kaede lived unhappily, Inuyasha still walked out of Kaede Village with his arms crossed in his sleeves.

Inuyasha himself didn't understand the reason for the sudden feeling of irritation that just arose in his heart. However, he didn't think about the reason anymore. Instead, he obeyed this strange feeling of irritation and left the house where Grandma Kaede lived in a bad mood.

"Ah, Inuyasha!"

Before Inuyasha had walked far, Shippo, a little fox demon who was playing with the children in the village beside the straw pile in the village, noticed Inuyasha walking towards the house where Grandma Kaede lived with an unhappy look on his face. Shippo said goodbye to the children he was playing with, jumped up to Inuyasha, raised his little head and asked curiously.

"Has the girl woken up yet?"

"...Oh, her words have awakened me."

Hearing this, Inuyasha still replied somewhat unhappily.

"Granny Kaede and Kagome are taking care of her."

"Yeah! That's great."

It seemed that the little fox demon Shippo didn't notice Inuyasha's slightly unhappy tone. After hearing this answer, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt very fortunate.

"Looking at the girl's injuries before, I thought she was going to die."

After sighing with some relief, Shippo looked at Inuyasha, who had his arms crossed in his sleeves and seemed a little unhappy, with confusion, and asked curiously.

"But, speaking of which, Inuyasha, why did you come out of Grandma Kaede's house? Don't you and Kagome still have questions for that girl?"

"There's nothing more to ask."

Still shaking his head unhappily, after answering Shippo, Inuyasha turned around and continued to walk away, waving his hand and speaking nonchalantly.

"I'm going out for a walk, and you little brat are not allowed to follow me. If you do, I'll beat you up!"

"Huh?! What's with that attitude, Inuyasha!"

Hearing Inuyasha's careless remarks, the little fox demon suddenly became angry, jumped three feet high, and shouted angrily at Inuyasha's departing back.

"Humph! Who would follow a fool like you?! If you were attacked by a powerful monster alone, I would never come to your rescue! Remember this, you fool!"

After angrily refuting Inuyasha's carefree attitude, the little fox demon Shippo turned around angrily and jumped towards the cottage where Grandma Kaede lived.

Seriously! It seems like I should never talk to that big fool Inuyasha again!

On the other hand, when Inuyasha, who was feeling a little bored, was wandering unwillingly to the outskirts of Maple Village, a young monk was about to arrive at Maple Village on the mountain road leading to Maple Village.

Outside Fengzhi Village, a young monk leaning on a Zen staff looked up at the village in the distance that was already visible, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, muttering to himself.

"Finally found it... It's said that the fragments of the Four Souls Jade first appeared around this area. The village ahead might have some clues to the Four Souls Jade fragments... Hmm?!"

When the young demon-killing wizard Maitreya was sighing, a faint demonic aura not far away made the young wizard stunned for a moment. At the same time Maitreya noticed this faint demonic aura, he saw a strange guy wearing a red coat and long silver-white hair sitting on a big tree outside the village not far away, holding an ancient samurai sword, and seemed to be in a daze.

Seeing this weird guy, the young wizard Maitreya couldn't help but frown slightly, his eyes became serious, and he muttered to himself.

"It's a monster... I didn't expect a monster to appear outside this village even in the daytime. So, the cause of this situation is probably the fragments of the Four Souls Jade that first appeared in this area..."

Although he was thinking about the reason why the monster on the tree appeared in broad daylight, the young wizard Maitreya did not stop. He quickly hid behind a tree next to him. While watching the silver-haired monster holding an old samurai sword on a big tree not far away, Maitreya took out several talismans from his arms, held them in his palm, and threw them out with force!

Swish! ! !

Several talismans flashed with faint spiritual light and instantly rose into the air, rushing towards the bold monster sitting on the big tree.

In the tree, Inuyasha, who had been feeling a little bored since just now, was now sitting on a branch, leaning against the trunk, looking up at the daytime sky, dazed and absent-minded.

However, Inuyasha did not have more time to be dazed and distracted. Several talismans with spiritual light cut through the air and suddenly attacked Inuyasha who was looking up at the sky. Inuyasha immediately became alert and came back to his senses.

“…What the hell?!”

boom! ! !

The sound of the talisman paper exploding spread far away immediately. The spiritual power explosion caused by the talisman that was blessed with spiritual power instantly sucked Inuyasha, who had just come to his senses, into it. The tree where Inuyasha was sitting was also immediately affected. Countless branches and trunks were broken in half by the violent explosion, and the previously lush and green treetops were completely destroyed by the impact of the violent explosion.

The thick smoke dissipated, and Inuyasha casually brushed off the dust stuck on his face due to the explosion on the tree that had become a mess due to the impact of the violent explosion. He snorted disdainfully, and felt even more unhappy.

"The smell of human spiritual power... It seems the guy who attacked me was a human monk or a miko... Hey, found it!"

Relying on his keen nose, Inuyasha quickly smelled the scent of the young wizard Miroku hiding not far away. He immediately revealed a smug expression, stepped on the tree trunk that was incomplete due to the violent explosion, and quickly attacked behind the tree not far away!

"Soul-scattering Iron Claw!!!"

Bang! ! !

The tall tree was broken by the attacking Inuyasha with one blow. The young wizard, who had nimbly avoided Inuyasha's claws, sighed helplessly and muttered to himself when he saw the tall tree where he had been hiding was broken by one blow.

"It's really not that simple..."

"Ha! Of course!"

Inuyasha stepped on the thick tree trunk that he had broken, clenched his hand with sharp nails, glared at the wild monk who had attacked him in annoyance, and snorted coldly.

"Hey, sneaky wild monk, the magic power you gained through practice is too weak. You want to attack me with your little magic power? You really are tired of living, monk!"

While scolding with disdain, Inuyasha also showed a vicious and ferocious smile and clenched his hands.

"...But it just so happens that, monk, I'm not in a good mood right now, and you just happened to come to my door, so let me give you a good beating, you wild monk!"

"...Regarding this matter, I beg your pardon for not being able to agree to your request."

Hearing Inuyasha's vicious tone, the young monk sighed, grasped his Zen staff, and took a stance.
