Crossover: A Different Inuyasha

"It's so bitter. I hope I can serve Lord Sesshomaru again in my next life!"

Chapter 7 The Red and Black Duo, the Dog Couple

Inuyasha didn't look at the pitiful Jaken, but instead gave Yura a wink.

The latter's face was filled with disgust.

But his body betrayed him; he stood up and slowly walked over.

"You really know how to enjoy yourself."

The female demon with the reversed hair complained as she gracefully knelt down.

Her jade-like knees gleamed warmly in the moonlight. With her hands together, she cradled Inuyasha's head as if holding a precious jewel, letting it rest on her soft thighs.

The dog's glossy, silvery hair, resilient yet not stiff, smooth yet not greasy, truly captivated Jieluo.

The only thing that bothered her was that this foolish dog demon had no concept of hair care, which pained Jieluo greatly.

'To waste such a precious resource is a capital offense!'

Inuyasha moved his head, found the most comfortable position, and glared at the female demon, "Don't pretend to be innocent after getting the benefit."

"Serving me is a blessing you couldn't earn in several lifetimes... Hmm~"

"Lord Inuyasha, please have some meat."

Yura stuffed Inuyasha's mouth with roasted meat and used a strand of hair to fetch clean water from the stream so that the dog on her lap could enjoy it at any time.

She did try to ambush them.

The first time, while Inuyasha was sleeping, her hair touched Inuyasha's neck from behind.

He ripped her hair off with a claw, then pulled her hair comb out of her body and heated it over a fire for half an hour, scalding her until she rolled on the ground in agony.

The second time, he pretended to hand over some roasted meat, but then secretly stabbed a needle hidden under the meat straight into her throat.

Inuyasha didn't even lift his eyelids. He turned his head to avoid her and twisted her into a human furniture. His original body was stuffed into a bamboo tube and soaked in cold water all night.

The third time... never mind, let's not talk about it.

After repeated defeats, Jieluo signed numerous humiliating treaties, her status plummeting until she was almost reduced to a lowly female slave.

Inuyasha's sense of danger and reaction speed completely exceeded her imagination.

Each sneak attack was too costly, and the female monster had no intention of making another move unless she was absolutely certain of success.

Inuyasha munched on his grilled meat while admiring the magnificent view of the Southern Hemisphere overhead.

The aroma lingering in the air wasn't just the smoky scent of roasted meat, but also the faint, cool fragrance emanating from the female demon.

It smells like night-blooming jasmine in the deep mountains, damp with dew, mixed with a very faint sandalwood scent.

He glanced sideways, his gaze sweeping indifferently over the evil spirit hanging before him, and asked knowingly, "Little monster, tell me your origins."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jian shuddered. His mouth, which had been numb from being bound by the hair, was finally freed, and he quickly spoke.

“My name is Jaken, and I am the servant of young master Sesshomaru, who is also your brother.”

"The reason for my visit is to ask that young master Inuyasha join the Western Kingdom in the fateful battle between the dog clan and the leopard cat clan."

Unlike Jaken's disdain for Inuyasha in the early parts of the original work, this "Crystal Bro" is excessively honest.

When he opens his mouth, he uses polite language; when he closes his mouth, he uses humble language.

A pair of round eyes carefully observed Inuyasha's changing expressions, afraid that if she said something wrong, she would be torn in two by a claw.

No wonder.

In the original story, anyone who knew that the son of the dignified Western Dog General was nailed to a tree for decades by a human priestess because of his affection for his child would feel utter contempt as a monster.

This is what truly made Sesshomaru feel disgusted with Inuyasha at the very beginning.

The father died because of humans, and the younger brother was sealed away because of humans; it's a ridiculous situation where the same tragedy is passed down through generations.

Now, reality forces us to act.

The leopard cat clan is large and powerful, with many soldiers and generals; the dog demon clan, led by Sesshomaru, is struggling to survive due to the uneven quality of its subordinates.

This led to Xie Jian's solo journey.

He inquired about Inuyasha's whereabouts along the way, and when he heard that the other party had been sealed away, his heart sank, and he almost wanted to turn back home.

But as he got closer, rumors of a "silver-haired serial killer" and a "red and black duo" left him bewildered.

With the belief that "seeing is believing" and "we can't let young master Sesshomaru be left to fend for himself," Jaken mustered his courage and continued forward, which led to his current predicament of being suspended in mid-air and finally meeting the main character.

"Put him down."

Bullying Jaken was just to satisfy his wicked sense of humor; Inuyasha didn't really want to do anything too outrageous to the little demon.

With a slight lift of her fingertips, the strands of hair wrapped around Jaken fell to the ground.

From a heretical perspective, the hair strands suddenly loosened from all directions.

Before he could even react, he fell to the ground with a "thud".

He rubbed his arm, which had been marked with red welts from the straps, then touched the tip of his nose, which had landed first, and secretly glanced at Inuyasha—

The incredibly beautiful female demon was leaning slightly forward, using her red lips to pour water into Inuyasha's slightly open mouth.

Under the moonlight, the lines of her profile were soft and alluring, with a few strands of short, jet-black hair falling among her silver hair, creating a striking contrast between black and white, which made her glistening lips appear even more vibrant.

Xie Jian abruptly lowered his head, his forehead touching the ground.

'Debauchery, utter debauchery!'

Compared to his own eldest son, who was aloof and indifferent like a monk, the second young master in front of him lived the other extreme life—his lap pillow was a beautiful woman's thigh, and he was fed water by mouth.

Xie Jian suddenly realized that he had been living a very difficult life all these years.

They were always on the move, constantly traveling, often sleeping outdoors and rarely getting a hot meal.

The only benefit was that I got the staff with the human head...

'etc!'

How could I think like that!

Jaken secretly vowed, 'My loyalty to Lord Sesshomaru cannot be swayed by mere material conditions!'

"Jieluo, you're getting better and better at it."

Inuyasha didn't bother with Jaken's complex inner thoughts. He looked at Yura's pretty face as she looked up, her lips still glistening with moisture.

"As long as young master Inuyasha is happy."

From Jaken's words, Yura learned that Inuyasha had a different identity. Not only did she change her way of addressing him, but she also temporarily relented on her idea of ​​killing Inuyasha.

Before figuring out Er Gouzi's family background, the female monster didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

One Inuyasha is already enough for her to handle. If she beats up the little one and attracts the big one, wouldn't the demons' lives just keep going on and on?

As for personal service and such, it was clearly stated in the terms of the defeat.

Jie Luo accepted his loss as a bet, treating it as a dog bite—it wouldn't cost him anything.

After finishing his post-meal oral hygiene routine, Inuyasha straightened up and sat cross-legged, his gaze falling on Jaken, who was still lying on the ground pretending to be dead.

"I won't say anything more."

"Early tomorrow morning, we will leave for the Western Kingdom."

Xie Jian suddenly raised his head, his eyes shining, and then quickly bent down again, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"Understood, Master Inuyasha!"

Chapter 8 Insubordination

The night was deep, and the campfire shone brightly.

Jieluo lay on her side with her eyes closed, pretending to sleep, while Xiejian curled up in a ball, snoring softly.

Inuyasha was not sleepy. He leaned against the dense branches of a tree, his hands behind his head, gazing at the bright moon in the sky.

The moonlight was almost too bright, with a faint halo around its edges.

Is the night of the new moon approaching?

The half-demon dog seemed lost in thought.

The half-demons in this world are slightly different from the mixed-race monsters in other anime.

At certain times, the demonic power flowing within the body will completely disappear like the receding tide, and the physical body will shed its demonic characteristics for a short period of time, presenting a pure human form.

This fragile period is called "Shuo" by the half-demons.

Every month, the half-demons experience a "new beginning," and the timing of this "new beginning" varies among different half-demons.

Whenever the new moon arrives, Inuyasha would find a place to hide.

They venture deep into caves, curl up in hollows of dead trees, or hide behind roaring waterfalls, waiting alone for dawn.

This secret was known only to Kikyo and her mother, Izayoi, who had passed away long ago.

'Do I still need to hide now?'

Inuyasha asked himself a question.

With the blessing of magic, the human physique has long since entered the realm of the extraordinary—no, it's more than just "entered" that realm.

His current physique is twice that of an ordinary person. From strength to speed, from endurance to perception, all his basic qualities have been doubled by [I Am the Only One in the Heavens].

With just this physical body, he was able to carve out a place for himself in the Warring States period, a time teeming with monsters.

Just like the captain of the Seven-Man Team, Mangu.

In addition, there is the [Unique Spirit Armor] that has not yet been truly revealed.

Inuyasha estimated that his fighting power in human form was no less than that of "himself" when he first mastered Bakuryuha in the original work, which was enough to handle most situations.

At least, Fukushi hadn't yet obtained Sesshomaru, the Demon God, at this point.

In addition, the black pearl hidden in the eye, which contains the Tessaiga, needs to be removed by a large dog.

A breeze blew from the other side of the valley, ruffling Inuyasha's silver hair.

The moonlight was bright, and all was quiet.

Aren't you going to sleep yet?

The sound came down from above, soft and gentle, carried by the night breeze into my ears.

Inuyasha ignored him.

He had already sensed that Jieluo had used the strands of hair scattered throughout the forest to gracefully drift over and land silently beside him.

After the comb spirit stopped, she didn't say much. She gathered her short hair that had been blown by the wind and looked at the bright moon in the direction of the dog's gaze.

"Are you worried about the war in the Western Kingdom?"

Jielu casually started a conversation.

"The people of the Western Country are all dead, it has nothing to do with me," Inuyasha said disdainfully.

He didn't have many fond memories of his childhood on that land.

Speechless at those words, Yura simply squeezed in next to Inuyasha.

Since the dog has touched this body all over, I might as well use my beauty to my advantage.

Inuyasha, always looking for an opportunity, reached out and put his arm around her shoulder.

Just as Jieluo was getting into the swing of things, he heard the dog's deep voice.

"The night of the new moon is my 'new moon'."

As if doused with cold water, Jieluo turned her head, her eyes widening suddenly, her pupils clearly showing disbelief.

The half-demon Shuo is a secret that every half-demon keeps tightly shut.

He said it so casually, as if he were telling her that it might rain tomorrow night.

Inuyasha met her shocked gaze, a slight smile playing on his lips.
