My personal opinion on Gensokyo

In the distant forest, a silver-haired dog half-demon wearing a crimson fire rat fur coat and a beautiful black-haired middle school girl gradually emerged.

As the beautiful girl walked, she complained worriedly about the young dog half-demon who was walking in front of her.

"What if the injury gets more serious? You shouldn't always let everyone down... Ah! Wait, what is this...?"

Kagome, who was complaining worriedly, noticed a weed-like plant at her feet from the corner of her eye.

Recalling the herbal knowledge that Grandma Kaede at the shrine taught her, Kagome squatted down, reached out and pulled out the plant, and spoke happily.

"...As expected, this herb is very effective in detoxifying. Grandma Feng taught me. I'll make it for you later."

While happily explaining, Kagome spotted another herb hidden in the bushes.

"This herb can be used to clean wounds and disinfect the area around them. It's very effective, but it can be very painful."

Because she found two very useful rare herbs at once, Kagome seemed very happy, her pretty face full of smiles.

Inuyasha turned sideways, staring blankly at the pretty girl with a happy smile on her face.

The young half-demon of the dog tribe with long silver hair showed a rare smile of relief on his always very arrogant face.

"...Kagome."

Hearing Inuyasha's gentle call, Kagome looked up in confusion.

"……What's wrong?"

Looking at the girl's pretty face with a hint of confusion, the young dog-like half-demon with long silver hair sighed.

"You're getting stronger..."

Hearing this, a gentle smile appeared on the pretty face of the beautiful girl, and she stood up with her hands on her waist proudly.

"Yeah... because I live a life where I'm hunted by monsters every day."

"Compared to those ordinary third-year junior high school students, he's much stronger, and his archery skills have improved a lot..."

With such emotion, Kagome walked past Inuyasha in front of her, turned her back to him, and walked towards the "Bone-Eating Well" in the mountains with some nostalgia.

Behind the tall trees deep in the forest, the witch hid behind the trees, quietly watching the beautiful girl and the young dog half-demon wearing a fire rat fur coat walking out of the forest towards the Bone-Eating Well.

Inuyasha...and that girl?

At the same time, on the other side of the hillside in the forest.

"What the hell is Inuyasha doing by bringing Kagome into the forest...?"

Lying on the grass, the little fox demon stared closely at Kagome and Inuyasha lying on the flat grass in the distance, complaining unhappily.

"Shh...keep your voice down, little Shippo. We came here just to find out about this, right?"

Lying on his side on the grass, Master Maitreya whispered comfort to the little fox demon, reminding him to be quiet.

However, the young wizard sighed instead and also complained quietly.

"...But, Miss Saya, why did you come with us? Your injuries haven't healed yet."

The person that Master Maitreya was complaining about was the young girl who was also lying in the grass, pulling away the weeds and secretly observing.

"Because Saya also wants to know what Inuyasha-sama is doing dragging Kagome-sister here~"

Looking not far away, there is Inuyasha leaning against the wooden wall of the Bone-Eating Well and Kagome Higurashi standing in front of Inuyasha. There is also a young girl lying in the grass, pulling away the weeds and secretly observing, her little face full of curiosity.

"Saya, you know, Lord Inuyasha likes Sister Kagome, right?"

"Eh? Is that so?!"

The little fox demon Qibao was very surprised to hear the young girl's speculation.

"Inuyasha actually likes Kagome?!"

"Hehe, that's more than that, Master Qibao."

Regarding Shippo's surprise, the young girl Saya was very confident and prepared.

"From Saya's perspective, Kagome-sister seems to like Inuyasha-sama a little bit."

“…Huh?! Is this really happening?!”

Qibao was extremely shocked to hear the young girl's shocking speculation. He just stood there in disbelief.

"Kagome actually likes that arrogant Inuyasha?!!"

In the eyes of the little fox demon Qibao, Inuyasha is really an arrogant, arrogant, rude and annoying guy. Qibao definitely does not think that Inuyasha has any shining points that attract others.

However, the young girl who was now lying beside him, pushing aside the weeds and secretly observing the Bone-Eating Well, asserted with a firm tone that Inuyasha liked Kagome, and Kagome also liked Inuyasha, and that they liked each other...

The young girl's assertion made Qibao subconsciously want to refute her, but he seemed to feel that the fact might indeed be as the girl said, that the two people liked each other.

Although they didn't express it clearly, a vague feeling had quietly sprouted in the hearts of the young dog half-demon Inuyasha and the kind-hearted human girl Higurashi Kagome...

"Shh..."

After raising his hand again to signal the little fox demon Qibao and the young girl Saya to be silent, the young wizard Miroku looked with great interest at the silver-haired dog half-demon and the beautiful human girl standing next to the Bone-Eating Well on the open grassland not far away.

Of course, Master Miroku had long noticed the feelings hidden deep in the hearts of Inuyasha and Kagome.

Master Miroku was very happy to see the subtle feelings between Inuyasha and Kagome develop.

Volume 6: Thoughts Across Time and Space: Chapter 394: Telling

Next to the Bone Eating Well.

The wounded Inuyasha barely sat on the grass, leaning against the wooden wall of the Bone-Eating Well. The pain of his wounds being torn made Inuyasha feel a little uncomfortable. He raised his head and asked the girl standing in front of him worriedly.

"Kagome, how are you? Aren't you injured too?"

"Eh?"

Hearing Inuyasha's worried question, Kagome was slightly stunned, raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, apologizing apologetically.

"Hmm, it seems like I just had a bump on my head... I'm sorry, Inuyasha, you kept telling me not to get close to Seshomaru, but I still insisted on interfering..."

"...If I hadn't stayed with you, you wouldn't have been injured so badly..."

Kagome felt a little guilty as she worriedly watched Inuyasha leaning against the wooden wall of the Bone-Eating Well.

If Inuyasha hadn't wanted to let himself escape, he wouldn't have tried so hard to stop his brother Seshomaru and even suffered serious injuries...

"...No, it was your bow and arrow that helped me."

Hearing the guilt hidden in the girl's tone, Inuyasha slowly stopped the girl's guilty feelings.

Inuyasha understood very well that the cold-hearted Seshomaru had shown no mercy that time and wanted to kill him and his group.

At that time, I fought hard just to buy some time for Kagome to escape.

If it weren't for Kagome's insistence, everyone would have been killed by Seshomaru...

"I'm so grateful to you…Kagome."

The silver-haired half-demon boy murmured his gratitude to the girl.

"Thank you so much... What happened to Inuyasha?"

Kagome was somewhat surprised to hear that Inuyasha, who usually looked arrogant, would actually express his gratitude to her. Confused, she squatted down, half-knelt on the grass, raised her hand and touched Inuyasha's forehead.

"You really are strange... Do you have a fever?"

Inuyasha was completely unprepared for the girl's concern. He stared blankly at the girl approaching him, her beautiful face full of concern. Inuyasha's eyes were complicated...

I brought too much danger to her... I brought too much danger to Kagome, Seshomaru, and countless dangerous monsters... Wasn't it the same last time?

Facing that weird guy Shang Yang, I didn't have any strength to fight him, and I just watched Kagome being kidnapped by him...

That weird guy, his purpose seems to be to call back the shrine maiden from fifty years ago. That resurrection ceremony seems to have failed, and Kagome has saved her soul.

But...what if Shang Yang sets his sights on Kagome's soul again...

I don't have any power to fight against that terrifying guy... If he sets his sights on Kagome again, I can only watch helplessly as Kagome is kidnapped by him again, and even her soul will be in jeopardy...

I... don't want to see Kagome die...

Following the deepest feelings in his heart, the silver-haired half-demon boy, in the girl's stunned eyes, tightly hugged the kind girl in front of him who still cared about him...

Behind the tall trees deep in the forest, the witch was hiding behind the trees, quietly watching the bone-eating well in the distance. A half-demon boy wearing a crimson fire rat fur was hugging the girl in front of him tightly.

Although the girl was surprised and stunned, she never pushed away the half-demon's embrace.

Platycodon, hiding behind the tall trees, has a strange look on her beautiful and cold face.

...Looking at the girl who looked like me being embraced by that half-demon, it was a really strange feeling.

Although after death, the living are just new souls and should no longer be affected by the past, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing that the girl likes Inuyasha, a half-demon...

However, was the affection between the two also affected by the "cause and effect" that Shang Yang said was destined to be entangled?

Thinking of this, the witch frowned slightly, seeming a little embarrassed.

But... I can't "see" the entangled cause and effect like Shang Yang...

If so, isn't it a bit unfair to those two people...?

"Don't worry... The relationship between Inuyasha and Kagome is pure, and not entangled by the cause and effect of 'fate'."

A faint tone sounded somewhat abruptly beside the witch.

"Inuyasha truly fell in love with Miss Kagome Higurashi, who was born five hundred years later. The same is true for Miss Kagome Higurashi. She has gradually fallen in love with Inuyasha from five hundred years ago."

An unknown moment had appeared behind the tall tree where the shrine maiden was hiding. A young man with gray hair leaned against the tree trunk and, like the shrine maiden, glanced at the Bone-Eating Well in the distance. Inuyasha, who was hugging the girl tightly, slowly explained to the shrine maiden.

"…Are you going to tell that girl?"

Glancing at the handsome and gentle face of the gray-haired young man beside her, the witch's tone seemed a little awkward, as if she didn't know what to do.

"About her 'fate'..."

"Well, I'll tell her about it when I get a chance."

Hearing the witch's somewhat awkward question, Shang Yang nodded slightly.

"However, that will have to wait until the remaining entangled karma no longer threatens her."

Hearing Shang Yang's answer, Kikyo nodded slightly.

According to the facts Shang Yang told her, the cause and effect that entangled her soul has basically dissipated and it is difficult to harm her, but the remaining causal power can still completely erase the existence of Kagome Higurashi, Inuyasha and others. The safest method is to slowly pry these causal lines.

After nodding slightly, the witch looked at the young man with gray and white hair in front of her and opened her cherry lips slightly.

"...I've already been to Maple Village."

"Fifty years ago, the people of Maple Village were not harmed at all."

"Not only that... I also learned that someone has been secretly protecting Maple Village for the past fifty years."

"This is also what you did..."

Barely suppressing the complex emotions in her heart, Kikyo softly thanked Shang Yang.

"Thank you for protecting the people of the village..."

"...Uh, it's okay."

Hearing this, the young man with gray hair rubbed his hair a little embarrassedly.

"But it wasn't me who did this. It was Yiji... Never mind, let's not talk about this. I'll introduce her to you some other day."

Shang Yang was a little hesitant. Although he said the name of the second princess of the Moon City, he seemed to find it difficult to explain and just made a simple promise.

"Um……"

The witch nodded again in silence.

As if to cover up her own anxiety, the witch once again asked the young man beside her in a low voice.

"What are you here for?"

"I just found out that the girl and her group were killed by Seshomaru, so I came to see what happened."

Hearing this, Shang Yang was very calm and explained slowly.

"Observing the causal links that bind them together allows us to check in real time to see if there are any omissions."

After hearing Shang Yang's explanation, Kikyo seemed a little hesitant, but finally asked.

"...Is there a way for me to also see the 'cause and effect' you speak of?"
