My wife's name is Platycodon

"Humph, that's not a girl from this era, probably from the era I used to belong to!"

Chapter 20: The Sinful Minister Kikyo

The voice of Hades Shura was deep and contained complicated and incomprehensible emotions. In the dim night, Kikyo could not see his specific expression.

"Your hometown?" She repeated the sentence with confusion.

Hades Shura told her that he was a man of innate wisdom, born with the memories of his past lives. At that time, Kikyo knew clearly why such an alien as Hades Shura appeared in this era.

Because he was out of tune with everyone here, surprisingly, I did not arouse his dislike, but instead established a good relationship with him.

Kikyo attributed it to the pull of fate and a coincidence of destiny.

Although she said frankly that she hated her fate very much, this is how life is and no one can control their own future.

She thought that Hades Shura's previous life might have come from a place she could not imagine, but she never asked Hades Shura about it.

In Kikyo's view, this life is more important than the previous one.

She didn't care about Hades Shura's past life, she only cared about what he did in this life.

However, Hades Shura suddenly said this.

The girl named Kagome...

Kikyo said nothing and listened quietly to what Hades Shura said next.

"What the child was wearing was a school uniform. It was not something that existed in this era, but something that came from the future, something that would only appear in modern society."

"And I, too, am from the future."

“Only a peaceful and prosperous environment can cultivate the delicate flowers in the greenhouse that are pleasing to the eye, with clear eyes and kind behavior.”

The Asura of the Underworld stood with his chest out and his back straight, his steps were steady and leisurely, and his pace was in sync with Kikyo's.

After listening to this, Kikyo had a concrete understanding of Kagome.

Girl from the future, my reincarnation, have you come to this era with your own mission, or are you here just to release Inuyasha who was sealed by me?

When the demon girl Rito resurrected me, she said that she would use my power to find the fragments of the Four Souls Jade.

That evil jade was taken to the underworld when I died, but now it has reappeared on this earth.

Kagome! As my reincarnation, you shouldn't have come to this world, even if it's because of Inuyasha.

This land will bleed because of your presence!

Kikyo quickly associated many things. She was born with great talents. Through complete training as a shrine maiden, she mastered many secrets. With enough information, she quickly pieced together the original picture of the matter.

There was a trace of sadness in her eyes. Even the power contained in the complete Four Souls Jade was enough to rival that of a great monster.

When it breaks into countless pieces, any one of the pieces can allow the monster to be reborn and its strength to be increased to a higher level.

At that time, people who are already struggling to survive will face more crises.

But these are topics that have nothing to do with the present. Even she doesn't know how to deal with this overly difficult disaster.

She refocused her attention on Hades Shura, this usually calm and uninhibited fellow who seemed troubled, now had his brows furrowed, and was actually in a state of confusion due to being homesick.

So, she said with an inexplicable smile: "Then you were able to remain calm instead of catching her and bringing her here to ask her what happened?"

Hades Shura raised his head slightly. He was already half a head taller than Kikyo, so it was natural for him to look down at her. "She won't run away, so why should I be so anxious?"

Kikyo would not feel unfair about trivial matters, and Hades Shura's answer did not exceed Kikyo's expectations.

Although this man's behavior is a bit indulgent, his character is calm and firm, and his will is terrifyingly strong. If he really kidnapped Kagome, Kikyo would feel that she had chosen the wrong person.

"And how did you say that?"

"I'll have the kid come over tomorrow. It's too late now. Kikyo, you can attract dead souls during the day. No one can live in the dark forever. If anyone talks too much, I'll make them keep their mouths shut."

Feeling the rare kindness of the Asura of the Underworld, Kikyo remained calm as before, neither moved nor thanking him.

From the moment he made up his mind during the day to let herself treat him with hypnosis, Hades Shura obviously showed a deeper trust in her.

It's probably because of the mentality of trusting people.

So she teased, "Will you let me fall into the same situation as you? Then people will spread rumors that the Hades Shura brought helpers from hell and that they are the undead witches who control the dead souls?"

Hades Shura shrugged without commenting, "After all, the Demon King also needs subordinates to protect his dignity."

"Then you don't have the responsibility of a king at all."

The Hades Shura said in a relaxed and carefree manner: "No, I am the king, a free king. My actions follow my will, and wherever my eyes go is my territory."

"What I say is what it is. You cannot refute or refuse. Otherwise, I will sentence you to death."

"Your words and actions have already shown the intention of committing treason. According to the charge of blasphemy against the king, you should be sentenced to death several times."

His movements were leisurely and casual, and his lush, waist-length hair danced with his steps. It was soft and silky, shiny and black, and had a strong texture, like a black waterfall, making people want to touch it.

Kikyo had never seen Hades Shura take care of his hair, allowing it to grow wildly, but she didn't know how long it took for him to grow such gorgeous hair.

Kikyo came back to her senses a little. After getting to know Hades Shura in depth, Kikyo learned a side of him that no one knew.

This man has a special charm, which comes from his extraordinary body, his interesting personality, and his words and actions that make him feel comfortable.

She put aside the strange emotions she had previously felt from seeing Inuyasha and looked at Hades Shura.

She did not refute the charges from Hades Shura, nor did she shy away from the fact that Hades Shura had mentioned several deaths. Instead, she asked curiously, "Then, King, how are you going to deal with me?"

"Since you have a mission to accomplish, please heal me first and then make plans."

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the residence, and Kikyo's house was closer.

After saying the above words, Hades Shura went back to his room.

Kikyo stood in place, looking at the back of Hades Shura, shook her head slightly with a smile.

What a proud king...

She pushed open the door and entered, and inadvertently saw the house of Hades Shura from the north window. It was very dark, but Kikyo seemed to be able to see Hades Shura inside.

The dead heart also seems to have more expectations for the future.

Early the next morning, there was a commotion in the village, and the occasional barking of dogs woke Kikyo from her sleep.

During the few days that Kikyo had lived in the village, this kind of situation had basically never occurred. The villagers all worked from sunrise to sunset, and the whole village had a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.

She sat up from the tatami, walked to the south window, and saw from afar the scene of outsiders negotiating with the villagers.

Among them, the half-demon wearing a fire rat fur coat and a girl in a white and green school uniform are particularly eye-catching. After all, half-demon and such clothing are rare.

The wizard holding a staff and the little fox Qibao beside him were not so noticeable because they were not the ones in charge.

The monk named Maitreya seemed to be very perceptive as well. He was consciously looking around. After looking around, he also saw Platycodon in the room. He was obviously stunned, and then nodded slightly.

Chapter 21: Lose the fight but not the battle

However, Miroku did not tell Inuyasha that he had met Kikyo.

Otherwise, with Inuyasha's personality, who knows what he might do.

Before this, Miroku had already expected to see Kikyo in the village.

Last night, Hades Shura suddenly appeared and stopped Inuyasha from chasing Kikyo. It was obvious that he could see a lot of information.

The powerful witch from fifty years ago and the strongest human being today are now standing together.

If Inuyasha causes trouble again at this time, given the cruel character of Hades Shura, it is hard to say what he will do.

In fact, if Hades Shura hadn't specifically asked Kagome to come find him, Miroku felt that they would have run away next.

Miroku thought: "I don't know what Miss Kagome is here for, but it shouldn't be dangerous. Of course, it won't be a good thing either. After all, the only consensus among the many rumors about this person is killing. Could it be related to Miss Kikyo? Hades Shura knows Kikyo's identity, but still chooses to help Kikyo..."

Maitreya couldn't understand this series of events. The fact that Shura from the Underworld didn't kill anyone last night had already proved that he was not interested in people like him.

He racked his brains and simply gave up thinking about it. He wanted to keep some backup plans, so he kept observing the situation in the village and searching for suitable terrain so that he could evacuate quickly in the event of a conflict.

Although Miroku did not think that he and Inuyasha were fast enough to escape the pursuit of Hades Shura, there was a world of difference between doing and not doing.

This matter had nothing to do with him and he should have stayed out of it. Inuyasha and Kagome could not criticize him either.

But he was still worried. Not to mention Inuyasha, Shippo was young, and Kagome was young and inexperienced after all, so she needed someone to protect her.

This responsibility should have belonged to Inuyasha. After all, the bond between the two was heavy and they both cared about each other.

This is usually the case, but now that Miss Kikyo is in the village, Miroku cannot completely trust Inuyasha.

He believed in Inuyasha's loyal and righteous character, but now it seems that the more loyal a person is, the more painful and difficult it will be. When the time comes, Inuyasha himself may not know what to do.

To give the simplest example, if the priestess Kikyo wanted to kill Miss Kagome, saying that this would allow her to be completely resurrected, what should Inuyasha do?

The scales will always be balanced because the weights are equal, but the human heart cannot be measured.

He was looking back and forth, thinking a lot here, and Kagome was already welcomed.

The face that the villagers knew Kagome from was very similar to that of the miko Kikyo. The only difference was her clothing and temperament.

The little girl named Sayo came up to Kagome, tilted her head back and opened her eyes wide: "Are you Kikyo's sister? You two look a lot alike."

Kagome was not surprised. She touched Xiaoye's head and nodded with a smile: "Well, we are here to find Kikyo. Why do you call her sister?"

In fact, the main reason was the Shura of the Underworld, but Kagome did not deny the factor of Kikyo.

She has a bright smile and is full of youthful vitality, like sunshine shining into people's hearts, making them feel bright.

Xiaoye immediately fell in love with Lady Kikyo's sister, and said uneasily, "Well, it was Sister Kikyo who told me to call her that, saying that she could acknowledge me as her sister."

She knew Kikyo's special identity, that she was a dead person and had a sister named "Maple".

But after the initial fear, Xiaoye still did not distance herself from Kikyo.

Children's hearts are always the purest and least likely to be disturbed by the outside world. They have their own simple values ​​and judge good and evil based on their instincts.

But Xiaoye is now very worried that the "Feng" in front of him will be angry because his sister was taken away.

But she was still a little confused. Didn’t Lady Kikyo say that “Maple” was the same age as herself?

why?

Xiaoye looked at Kagome, who was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and fell into deep thought.

Kagome didn't know what Xiaoye was thinking, but she could see her uneasiness, so she bent down and said kindly, "Wow, I didn't expect Kikyo to have another sister. I'm very happy. I wonder where she lives and whether she is living well?"

Xiaoye felt relieved when she saw that Kagome did not reject her.

She pointed to a wooden house in the distance. Kikyo had already left the window and went somewhere unknown, so Kagome and Sayo didn't notice Kikyo either.

Inuyasha was right next to them, and he impatiently asked the villagers about the deeds of Hades Shura.

There were very few such groups in the village, so a large group of people gathered around. Inuyasha asked where Hades Shura was, but the villagers were afraid of Hades Shura's power, so although they said a lot, they still didn't tell the specific information of Hades Shura.

He reacted to the name Kikyo, glanced at Kikyo's house from a distance, but did nothing, which surprised Kagome.

What? He still knows his limits. If I had known this would happen last night, I wouldn't have given him such a bad look.

But soon Kagome felt guilty again. What was she thinking? She had nothing to do with Inuyasha, so why was she so angry? Inuyasha himself must be feeling very uncomfortable... and so on.

"What are you doing looking for Lord Shura from the Underworld?" an unknown villager asked anxiously.

As long as this name is mentioned, they will feel awe. Even if Hades Shura has never hurt them, as soon as they see Hades Shura's physical body, they will instinctively sense something ominous. When they think of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood behind Hades Shura, they will not be able to help but kneel down and beg for mercy.

So even though they know that Hades Shura doesn't kill ordinary people, the villagers still try to avoid him when they walk around.

But the latter is also very self-aware. He appears and disappears mysteriously, and when he walks around the village, he will choose places where there are no people.

Now when the villagers saw a monster coming to find the Hades Shura, they naturally did not dare to say much, for fear that the Hades Shura would think that they were betraying her and thus bring disaster.

"What? It was clearly that bastard who asked us to come here!" Inuyasha was furious. He had experienced too much frustration in the past two days. He had a lot of unreasonable anger in his heart and he didn't know how to vent it.

So when Inuyasha learned that Hades Shura asked Kagome to see him, he picked up his sword and was eager to fight Hades Shura to the death.
