Crossover: A Different Inuyasha

"Inuyasha, what are you doing here?"

Xie Jian froze, cold sweat instantly breaking out on his back. He secretly craned his neck and, sure enough, saw the silver-haired, red-clad figure, and the terrifying female demon standing in front of him.

Yura stood quietly beside Inuyasha, the thin sash around her waist fluttering gently in the wind, her eyes glancing at Jaken with a half-smile.

The latter's teeth chattered, and he quickly shrank behind Sesshomaru, burying his head in the sand like an ostrich.

Inuyasha walked up casually and stood in front of Sesshomaru.

"Of course, I'll go to my father's grave and retrieve the Tessaiga that he left me."

Big Dog raised an eyebrow, his tone slightly cold, "Your Tessaiga? You really dare to talk back to your older brother like that!"

"Your father didn't leave the Tessaiga behind, but instead gave you the Tenseiga, the sword of healing. Need I say more?"

Inuyasha challenged him directly.

"Sesshomaru, your father thinks you lack compassion and love!"

"Oh, really?"

Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing in his golden pupils. "Only incomplete half-demons like you crave human love. I, Sesshomaru, have no need for that!"

"Really, Sesshomaru?"

Inuyasha's eyes lit up, "Swear it if you dare!"

"Humph, so noisy!"

Sesshomaru moved suddenly, his Poisonous Claw, wrapped in emerald light, aimed at Inuyasha's face.

Inuyasha dodged to the side and retaliated with a swift claw strike—the two brothers clashed again, their figures intertwining in the forest, claw winds and whip shadows exploding into waves of energy.

Jaken, who had been hiding behind Sesshomaru, was now exposed.

Jieluo smiled as she looked at the trembling little monster, then raised a finger.

The strands of hair wrapped around Xie Jian's feet, lifting him upside down into the air.

"If you dare to slander Lord Inuyasha again, I'll cut out your tongue."

Jie Luo glanced at the bald little demon who was nodding frantically, his eyes filled with the will to survive, tilted his head, and looked on with amusement.

They exchanged blows for the first time.

Inuyasha, not wanting to get entangled with Sesshomaru any longer, turned around to create some distance and flicked the white marks on his sleeve from the poisonous claws.

"Alright, once we get to Dad's grave and retrieve the Tessaiga, we'll have plenty of time to fight."

Realizing his younger brother was indeed very strong and couldn't be defeated quickly, Sesshomaru withdrew his claws and stopped attacking, coldly glancing over, "So, tell me, how are we going to get there?"

"The place that can be seen but not penetrated, the place that the true gravedigger can never see—that is where my father's grave is."

Inuyasha pointed to his right eye. "In my eye, there is a black pearl that leads between the underworld and the mortal world. My father left his inheritance there."

"And you will need your demonic power to remove this black pearl."

King Douya went to great lengths to educate his two sons, and their later growth proved his foresight.

However, for Inuyasha at this point, it would be somewhat superfluous.

Sesshomaru's gaze narrowed slightly as he looked into Inuyasha's pupils, which were the same color as his own.

He raised his hand, which glowed with a faint light, and smiled slightly. "If you're not afraid, you can come over."

"You think I'm afraid of you?"

Inuyasha scoffed and turned to leave.

His inherent spiritual armor was already hidden beneath his skin, and the azure flame robe could burst forth from his body at any moment; he was fearless.

Er Gouzi approached step by step, so close that Da Gouzi's fingertips almost touched his eyelashes.

Unaware of the half-demon's true nature, Sesshomaru stared at the arrogant face before him, feeling increasingly frustrated, while also developing a slight fondness for the half-demon.

With a slight sense, his demonic power surged from his palm, drawing out a jet-black bead—a black pearl—from Inuyasha's right eye.

Sesshomaru pinched the black pearl between two fingers, about to call for his servants, but when he caught sight of the green figure hanging in mid-air, his face darkened.

He simply swung the fur vest hanging on his shoulder, picked up the man-headed staff from the ground, and placed the black pearl under the staff.

Sensing the power of the black pearl, the old man's head burst into laughter.

The next instant, a rotating black tunnel tore open in the void.

Deep and quiet, it is the crevic between the dead and the living world.

This passage can only be opened by the Black Pearl crafted by Bao Xian Gui, the underground gate of the Fire Kingdom, and the blood of the Iron Rooster.

Sesshomaru entered without hesitation.

"Yura, put Jaken down and let's go." Inuyasha also waved to Yura, and the two entered side by side.

They fell from the sky after passing through a bizarre and fantastical space tunnel.

Inside the tomb, the sky was azure, and the giant canine skeleton of the Dog General, clad in armor, was clearly visible.

Its skeleton is surrounded by jagged rocks, and bone birds circle in the sky. Deep within the skeleton lies a precious sword forged from its teeth.

Chapter 21 Obtaining the Tessaiga

A bone bird flapped its bone wings and flew at the feet of Inuyasha and Yura.

The two stepped onto the back of the bone bird, which then flapped its wings and carried them toward the location of the giant dog's skeleton.

The wind whistled past his ears as Jieluo looked down at the skeleton of the Dog General lying like a mountain, a rare look of shock flashing in his eyes.

"I really don't know... how powerful Toga-oh must have been in his lifetime."

A monster's size doesn't necessarily equate to its strength. For example, a mountain spirit that can reach the clouds but is often enslaved by powerful beings due to its low intelligence can be killed by Sesshomaru with just a few lashes.

But for someone as powerful as Dog General, the demonic power within him must be immense.

Not to mention his renowned reputation that spanned the world.

"If my father were truly strong, he wouldn't be buried here."

Inuyasha's feelings for Inu no Taisho were not strong, especially after his true self returned. When he said "father," he didn't feel as much affection as when he casually said "Yura."

Humans are creatures that develop feelings through interaction. Inuyasha's feelings for Inu no Taisho are more like respect for a senior.

But his body's instincts made him feel sorry for his kind, and he also felt sorrow for Qiu Ming.

"Too."

Noticing Inuyasha's gloomy mood, Yura hugged his arm tightly. The wind ruffled her bangs, revealing her clear eyes.

"However, I believe that young master Inuyasha will become the king of the world, invincible under heaven!"

"Haha."

Inuyasha burst into laughter, his laughter drowning out the howling wind. He grabbed Yura's waist and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

Jie Luo closed her eyes, put her hands on his shoulders and neck, and responded passionately.

The bone bird flapped its wings and flew, and the two figures embracing each other under the azure sky were like a vivid painting, unrestrained and free.

Only when the bone bird slowly descended and its claws touched the huge breastplate on the skeleton of the dog general did Inuyasha reluctantly release her.

Jie Luo opened her eyes, her lips slightly swollen, her eyes glistening with tears, and she breathed softly as she curved her lips into a smile, "...Young Master Inuyasha, shall we continue here?"

With a "smack," the female monster trembled slightly, her lips pouting in displeasure.

"You irresistible enchantress, I'll be corrupted by you sooner or later."

Inuyasha withdrew his hand, his face bearing the air of a scumbag who'd pulled up his pants to say something.

'Tsk, you're clearly filthy yourself, yet you criticize others. That's really going too far.'

Watching her young master walk into the skeleton's body, Jie Luo cursed inwardly, feeling deeply that she had met the wrong person—but that was exactly what she liked.

The two passed through the wide gap between the dog general's ribs and walked deeper into the skeleton.

Above, massive ribs intertwine like an arch, with vines growing freely and climbing all around. Further down, the terrain suddenly opens up.

A vast underground space unfolds before your eyes—below lies a sea of ​​skulls, layer upon layer, filling the stomachs. In the center, towards the back, stands a luxurious golden pedestal, upon which sits a rusty longsword.

Sesshomaru stood in front of the base, his golden eyes slightly lowered, seemingly lost in thought.

Jaken, who was luckier to land, huddled at Sesshomaru's feet. When he saw Inuyasha and Yura enter, he instinctively moved further behind Sesshomaru's legs.

"They're really dragging their feet."

Sesshomaru glanced at him, slightly raising his chin. "Shall we do it, you or me?"

He was still willing to show the magnanimity of a big dog when it came to this arrogant second dog.

Inuyasha shrugged as he landed. "Anything is fine, it's mine anyway."

"Just don't regret it!"

Without hesitation, Sesshomaru suppressed the tremor in his heart, strode to the golden base, and reached out to grasp the hilt of the sword.

Jaken held his breath in tension—it must succeed, young master Sesshomaru!

The next instant—a blinding golden light suddenly burst forth from the hilt of the Tessaiga.

Sesshomaru's right hand was scorched by golden light, and blue smoke rose. He groaned, but did not let go until the burning pain penetrated his demonic power and reached his bone marrow. Only then did he reluctantly release his grip.

"Damn it! How can there be a barrier?!" Jaken exclaimed in despair.

This situation is already quite obvious.

Jie Luo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Despite Inuyasha's solemn vows, Sesshomaru, as the eldest son, naturally possessed the legitimacy to inherit all of Inu no Taisho's legacy.

He is highly likely to possess the Tessaiga.

Even if one doesn't know the wonders of this rusty iron sword, the powerful barrier alone is enough to determine that it is no ordinary item.

In Jieluo's mind, all the good things in the world should belong to them.

Sesshomaru lowered his scalded hand expressionlessly, and as his demonic energy surged through it, the charred marks were instantly restored.

He took a step back and looked at Inuyasha calmly, "You come here."

Aren't you leaving?

Inuyasha tilted his head.

"Where are you going?" Sesshomaru's golden eyes darkened slightly. "You haven't pulled out the Tessaiga yet."

"I'm just worried that if you see me pull out the Tessaiga, you'll turn around and cry."

"Sharp teeth and sharp mouths."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Inuyasha stood still in front of the base.

Jaken secretly prayed that the barrier would also work on Inuyasha, his eyes fixed on it intently.

Sesshomaru appeared calm on the surface, but a subtle tremor ran through the depths of his eyes.

Inuyasha reached out and grabbed the hilt of the Tessaiga.

—The barrier is not working.

Sesshomaru's eyes dimmed for a moment, and Jaken's legs went weak, causing him to kneel directly on the skull, muttering, "How could this be..."

"As expected, this is the precious sword that the master left for young master Inuyasha."

Gyro issued a declaration of victory.

Recalling the premise that "only by protecting the human heart can the Tessaiga be extracted."

Inuyasha, who had received socialist education and loved every Hagi equally, clenched his fingers and let out a low growl.

"Get up!"

The rusty iron-splitter fang emerged with a resounding clang, a chilling light bursting from its blade and illuminating the entire tomb.
