Crossover: A Different Inuyasha

The roar was deafening, and the morale was soaring.

The monsters quickly split into four long dragons, kicking up billowing dust, and rushed into the vast twilight without looking back.

Donglan, who remained behind, quickly walked to the three leopard cats that had also landed and bent down to examine them carefully.

After confirming that her younger siblings were only unconscious and not in mortal danger, she breathed a long sigh of relief and even felt a sense of gratitude towards Inuyasha.

If you were in my shoes, and it was Donglan himself, he would definitely go on a killing spree and would never spare the lives of Inuyasha and Sesshomaru.

"Donglan".

A shout brought Donglan back to her senses.

Just as Inuyasha was about to get up, he moved slightly and with one hand, he lowered it to his side—and a fair and slender thigh fell into his palm.

Inuyasha used Yura's thighs for support to stand up, his silver hair falling to his shoulders. In just a moment, he went from languid to upright.

He tucked his hands into his sleeves, tilted his head slightly, and looked calmly at Dong Lan.

"The stage has already been given to you."

Don't let me down.

After saying that, Inuyasha turned and left, preparing to return to Kaede Village.

The decision to issue the order to build the city ultimately stemmed from his longing for his homeland.

Donglan watched the two leave, her expression somewhat complicated, and finally sighed.

Chapter 19 The Leopard Cat's Thoughts

As the sun sank behind the western mountains, only the campfire illuminated the blood-soaked camp.

The unconscious younger siblings let out faint groans. Donglan squatted down, tucked Chunlan's disheveled hair behind her ear, stroked her sister's pained face, and whispered.

"Don't be afraid, your sister is still here."

A thin layer of icy mist condensed in her palm, using extreme cold to fix her broken bones.

Beneath the icy mist, Chunlan's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

A short while later, a muffled groan came from beside him.

Scorched by the flames of the Gagu, Xia Lan, having regained some strength, opened her eyes to a hellish scene—mountains of corpses, wreckage, and a thick stench of blood permeating the air.

The girl instinctively shrank back, and the panic on her face gradually subsided only when her gaze fell on Dong Lan.

"Xia Lan." Dong Lan didn't turn her head, the icy mist in her hands never stopping. "If you can move, go and see Qiu Lan."

"...Yes, eldest sister."

Xia Lan gritted her teeth, propped up her still weak body, her tail drooping on the ground, and struggled to get up, staggering to Qiu Lan's side.

Akiyama was injured by Sesshomaru's poisonous claws. The wound was covered with a foul odor and green liquid. Her breathing was weak but still relatively steady.

Xia Lan began to use her demonic power and claws to perform the most basic healing on Qiu Lan.

A moment later, Chunlan's broken bones were properly secured, and Qiulan's breathing became steady.

The two regained consciousness one after the other.

When Chunlan opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Donglan's tired and cold face. Her eyes reddened, and her voice was hoarse, "Big...Sister..."

Qiu Lan, whose flesh had been cut, could hardly get up. She glanced at the roughly bandaged wound on her body, then looked at Xia Lan and nodded slightly.

Donglan touched Chunlan's head, her gaze sweeping over her younger siblings one by one, and recounted what had happened after they fell into a coma.

"...I will definitely support the decision my eldest sister made." Xia Lan was the first to express her opinion, her eyes filled with a heavy determination.

Chunlan sniffed, "Big sister did it all for us. When we're strong enough in the future, we'll get our revenge!"

"That's right!"

Qiu Lan nodded heavily, the movement aggravating the wound under her ribs. She gasped and grimaced as she clutched her side.

Looking at her younger siblings who were supporting her, Donglan's eyes reddened slightly.

She turned her face away, took a deep breath, and suppressed the surging heat in her heart.

When it turned back, it was the same calm and composed leopard cat sister again.

"Today we endure humiliation and hardship, but when we resurrect our lord in the future, we will surely capture Sesshomaru and Inuyasha and make them our prisoners!"

Donglan's cat-like eyes gleamed sharply in the firelight as she spoke with absolute certainty.

"Without General Inu, no one in the world can be a match for the lord!"

Xia Lan, Chun Lan, and Qiu Lan were shocked. Having witnessed the power of a great demon, they knew very well how terrifying and powerful it was.

That is a being that can turn the world upside down with a flick of the wrist, far beyond the reach of ordinary monsters.

The Leopard Cat Lord is a great demon who has the chance to return from the underworld and lead the Leopard Cats to climb the crown once again!

Donglan nodded slightly as she looked at the renewed fighting spirit in her younger siblings' eyes.

As her gaze swept around, her voice lowered, "Xia Lan, let's set fire... to bury our people."

Xia Lan silently stepped forward.

Flames erupted from his palm, transforming into a fire dragon that lunged at the white bones.

Flames shot into the sky, licking the dark night sky and turning the sky for miles around a dark red. The smell of burning meat mixed with the heat wave hit the face. Flesh and bones crackled in the flames, as if they were the last sighs of the tribesmen.

Donglan, Xialan, Chunlan, and Qiulan stood side by side in front of the firelight, silent.

Chunlan's eyes reddened again, but she bit her lip and didn't cry out.

Qiu Lan supported her unsteady body and straightened her back.

Xia Lan's flames were still burning, making the contours of her profile appear sharp as a knife.

Donglan reached out and gently grasped Chunlan's trembling fingers beside her.

The flames burned ever brighter, engulfing all sins, grudges, blood, and tears.

As the first rays of dawn pierced the sky, four figures, leaning against each other, slowly emerged from the scorched earth.

Their shadows stretched long in the interplay of firelight and morning light, as if they were carrying their people, step by step towards the distant dawn.

"Master Inuyasha, are you really going to let them leave?"

A little further away by a forest stream, Yura, having rested overnight, was tidying Inuyasha's clothes.

She glanced at the gradually fading black smoke on the horizon, her small mouth, slightly swollen from drinking milk that morning, gently opening and closing.

"Actually, I agree with what the bald little demon said; it's best to nip it in the bud."

"There are plenty of monsters in the world."

"If Master Inuyasha needs subordinates, Yura will find some for you."

"You really are a bad woman."

Inuyasha raised his hand and touched her cheek.

Jieluo rubbed against his palm like a docile puppy.

Her captivating pink eyes tilted upwards, the corners curving into alluring arcs. "Then... does Young Master Inuyasha like it?"

"Whether you like it or not, haven't you seen it all last night and this morning, day and night?"

Inuyasha chuckled, his hand sliding from her cheek to her chin, his thumb gently pressing on her slightly swollen lower lip.

Jie Luo tilted her head slightly, revealing a section of her fair neck, her eyes glistening as she looked at her young master.

Inuyasha, who still had to travel today, did not respond to Yura's invitation.

He withdrew his hand and walked towards the direction where Sesshomaru's aura was present.

"As for the leopard cat, it was just my old man's collecting habit acting up."

"Eh—"

Jieluo drew out the last syllable of her voice and walked lightly to Inuyasha's side.

With her hands behind her back, she bent over and tilted her head back, her body curves fully exposed in the morning light, her face full of a charmingly innocent yet alluring expression.

"Jiro thought it was young master Inuyasha who had taken a fancy to those kittens."

"Oh?"

Inuyasha didn't stop walking, raising an eyebrow and saying, "Afraid of being replaced?"

"Hmph. Jieluo is one of a kind. If any of you kittens dare to be presumptuous, I'll kill you all."

She gave a soft snort, her eyes sparkling. "Besides, can kittens serve young master like I do?"

Inuyasha glanced at her sideways and said, "Then serve her well."

"Yes, my young master."

Jielu walked around to his front, knelt down gracefully, and looked up, her pink eyes reflecting the morning light and Inuyasha's image.

"So... do you want it now?"

Inuyasha looked down at that shameless face and his lips twitched.

"...We were up all night last night, weren't you tired?"

"It doesn't matter if I'm tired or not." Jie Luo blinked. "It's fine as long as Young Master isn't tired."

"Besides, I'm hungry."

Having said all that, what could Inuyasha do?

So they traveled at a leisurely pace, stopping frequently and causing delays along the way. By the time they caught up with the "street hustler" Sesshomaru, it was already the afternoon of the fourth day.

The two of them wandered around like this, crossing most of the western country.

In terms of canine awareness and instinct for territorial patrol alone, Sesshomaru is incredibly strong.

Chapter 20 Dog General's Grave

“Young Master Sesshomaru, recently the demons under Young Master Inuyasha’s command have been making quite a stir in the Western Lands, and even the leopard cat is working for him.”

On the mountain path, Jaken followed behind Sesshomaru, chattering away.

"Wolf and the others were originally your subordinates. Now, it's a pity that Young Master Inuyasha got to benefit from them..."

He watched his master's unwavering back as he walked away, and sighed inwardly.

Before meeting Rin, Sesshomaru was a model of being free from worldly desires, aside from his beloved Tessaiga.

He doesn't even want to go back to his own home unless there's a reason, let alone bring a bunch of burdens with him.

Those with wicked views who aspire to live a life of privilege and power are in a very distant future.

He opened his mouth and continued speaking.

"Furthermore, what's the point of collecting resurrection techniques? The dead cannot be brought back to life; that's common sense. Even if you were to resurrect someone using magic, they would just be a walking corpse, with limited significance."

Upon hearing this, Sesshomaru glanced down at the Tenseiga at his waist, a weapon capable of reviving the dead, and then asked, "Jaken, who does Inuyasha want to revive?"

Jaken, who hadn't expected Sesshomaru to respond, was taken aback for a moment. Then, after processing the information in his mind, he replied.

“Young Master Sesshomaru, I haven’t heard from those demons that Young Master Inuyasha wants to resurrect anyone.”

Sesshomaru had no interest in delving into the matter and continued walking forward.

This time he was going back to inquire about the location of his mother's and father's graves and to retrieve the Tessaiga, one of the three most powerful swords in the world.

Inuyasha's intervention brought the war against the leopard cat to an abrupt end, leaving him extremely displeased.

The desire for strength is growing stronger.

Seeing that Sesshomaru had fallen silent, Jaken continued, "I heard that young master Inuyasha is going to build the world's number one demon castle."

He curled his lip. "Hmph, without young master Sesshomaru in charge, that demon city is just an empty shell, a mere shell!"

Sesshomaru stopped in his tracks, and Jaken, who was talking to himself, didn't stop in time and bumped into Sesshomaru's shin. He was bounced back and staggered a couple of steps before regaining his balance.

He rubbed his nose and complained inwardly, when he heard Sesshomaru's cold voice in his ear—
