"Kagome, are you dating Hojou-kun?”
"How can that be? I don't have that kind of free time.”She really didn't have the time. She had to collect the fragments of the Jade of Four Souls during the Warring States Period, and she still had to learn after returning to the modern world. Besides, there was Inuyasha. Although she didn't want to admit it, she had already admitted that she was Inuyasha's woman.
"But Hojou-kun really cares about you, Kagome.”
Back in the classroom, the three of them kept talking about Hojo.
"Do you really not want to date him?”
"Do you already have a boyfriend?”Ayumi covered her face in surprise.
"How is that possible?" Speaking of boyfriends, Kagome immediately thought of Inuyasha, but she would never say it out loud. After all, if she admitted that she had a boyfriend, Ayumi and the others would definitely let her bring him out to meet him. However, Inuyasha was a half-demon. Although she was used to it and was not afraid, Ayumi and the others were just ordinary girls. What if they were scared?
"Really? Really?" All three of them stared at Kagome as if they were trying to see something fishy from her face.
"Then which type do you like?”Hui Li asked.
" Well..." The three of them looked expectant when they saw Gagome close her eyes as if she was fantasizing about her type.
"I'm not too sure about his strength." They didn't expect Gagome to say such a thing. The three of them felt that they had waited so long for nothing. It was a waste of time.
"Hmm? Is it a fire?" Grandpa, who was about to come to the shrine to clean up, had just arrived at the courtyard of the shrine when he saw black smoke rising from the warehouse not far away. He said in surprise.
When he arrived at the warehouse, he saw a box that was originally sealed suddenly shatter together with the seal. Then, a mask flew out from inside.
"This guy actually broke the seal passed down by our ancestors.”Looking at the mask floating in the air in front of him, his grandfather said in surprise.
"Give me your body!" the masked man said.
Seeing this situation, not only was Grandpa not afraid at all, but he also poured the bucket of water he had just carried on himself. Then, he took out the charm he had made himself from his clothes and said,"This mask was commissioned by the person who acted in the Noh drama to make a mask to remove spirits. I heard that it's a meat mask. I didn't expect it to have such powerful strength after so long.”
As he spoke, his grandfather took a step forward and threw the charm at the meat mask, wanting to use it to seal the meat mask. Unfortunately, the charm he made himself was useless. As soon as it touched the meat mask, it burned into ashes.
When his grandfather came to the shrine, Inuyasha followed the demon qi to the shrine, but he was not in a hurry to appear. Seeing the performance of Gagome's grandfather, Inuyasha really did not know what to say. Should he say that he was ignorant or brave? The talismans he made with thin spiritual power might be useful against some weak demons and ghosts, but it was impossible to deal with the meat mask with the Jade of Four Souls fragment.
However, he was Kagome's grandfather after all. Inuyasha couldn't let anything happen to him. Otherwise, Kagome would be very sad, which he didn't want to see.
"Quickly retreat. This isn't something you can deal with.”Inuyasha stood behind his grandfather and said.
"Give me your body!" The meat mask kept repeating and flew towards Inuyasha.
"If you want my body, I'll send you to hell first.”
When the meat mask flew towards Inuyasha, a cold light flashed. The meat mask was split into two and fell to the ground. Then, it disappeared into the air. A fragment of the Jade of Four Souls appeared on the ground. Inuyasha walked up and picked up the pieces of the Jade of Four Souls.
It turned out that when the meat mask flew over, Inuyasha suddenly pulled out his broken iron teeth and split the meat mask in half. His movement was as fast as lightning, and the meat mask didn't even have a chance to dodge.
"This…this is resolved?" Although Grandpa heard from Gagome that Inuyasha was very powerful, he had never seen how powerful he was. Today, he finally saw it. He didn't expect that he could get rid of the meat mask that his ancestors had sealed for hundreds of years so easily.
"What do you think? Do you want me to fight 300 rounds with that guy? To me, that meat mask is just a small character. I can deal with it in minutes.”Inuyasha wasn't boasting at all. If he wasn't careless, he could easily get rid of the meat mask, not to mention that the current Inuyasha was completely different from before.
The meat mask was easily dealt with, but the fire caused by the meat mask was not within Inuyasha's ability. In fact, he could easily put out the fire if he wanted to, but he was too lazy to do so.
Fortunately, the people nearby saw the black smoke coming from the Twilight Shrine and realized that there might be a fire, so they called the fire department. Not long after Inuyasha and Grandpa left the warehouse, the fire truck arrived.
"Grandpa, Inuyasha, are you alright?”Upon seeing the two of them, Yuuko asked with concern.
"I'm fine. Fortunately, Inuyasha is here. I didn't expect that the thing sealed by our ancestors would break through the seal. If it wasn't for Inuyasha, I can't imagine how much trouble it would have caused.”Grandpa said something nice about Inuyasha for the first time.
Yuuko looked at Inuyasha gratefully. She felt that her daughter's boyfriend was right. Although he was a half-demon, he was still very reliable and could bring people a sense of security.
After school, Gwen was on her way home when she heard a passerby say,""Hey, have you heard? A fire broke out in the Twilight Shrine."
"Really? Let's go and take a look."
As soon as she heard that there was a fire in her shrine, Gwen immediately ran back home.
"Mom, what happened? Is anyone injured?" Seeing that her mother, Sachiko, was watching the firefighters put out the fire, Kagome walked up and asked hurriedly.
"No one was hurt. Luckily, Inuyasha was here. Otherwise, your grandpa would have been hurt.”
" Mom--" Kagome dragged her voice. Although it was very happy that Inuyasha could get her mother's approval, Kagome was still a little embarrassed when Yuuko said it directly.
"By the way, Mom, why would the warehouse have a fire for no reason? I don't remember there being any flammable items in the warehouse.”In order to change the topic, Gome asked in confusion.
Yuuko pulled her to a place far away from the crowd. She looked around and found that no one was coming. Then she whispered to her,"I heard from your grandfather that a monster that our ancestors had sealed broke through the seal and caused the fire. Fortunately, Inuyasha appeared in time to save your grandfather. Otherwise, even if your grandfather was fine, he would have been injured.”
When she heard her mother say that it was a monster, Gwen didn't suspect anything. If it wasn't, there was no way to explain why the warehouse without any flammable materials would suddenly catch fire unless someone deliberately set it on fire.
Of course, it was impossible to deliberately set the fire. After all, the Twilight Shrine had some reputation in the vicinity. She had also received confirmation from Inuyasha that there were still demons and ghosts in the modern world she was in, but they were much weaker than the demons of the Sengoku period. However, no matter how weak they were, they were still demons. For ordinary people, it was still very powerful.
"Well, Gagome, there's nothing else here. You should go home first.”
"Oh, then I'll go back. I still have an exam tomorrow. I have to revise well. After all, I missed so many classes. If I don't revise well, it will really be very dangerous.”
When she got home, she saw Inuyasha lying on the tatami mat, eating fruits and watching TV. He looked very comfortable.
Thinking that Inuyasha had saved her grandfather, Gomi stepped forward and said,""Thank you so much for today, Inuyasha. I didn't expect you to be so reliable at such a critical time.”
"What do you mean by reliable in critical times? I've always been reliable. But Gagome, you want to send me away with just a thank you? That won't do!"
"Then what else do you want? This fellow, are you still trying to blackmail me?”Kagome wanted to thank Inuyasha, but she became angry when she saw Inuyasha like this.
"Of course, I'm not the kind of person who does good deeds without leaving a name. If I don't get any benefits from doing good deeds, then who will do good deeds? I'm doing this to set an example for people and let them see that doing good deeds will bring benefits. Only then can I encourage more people to help others.”
"Hmph, you really know how to pester people. All of this is nonsense.”Although she felt that Inuyasha's words made sense, she still said unhappily.
"This isn't a fallacy. It's completely the words of a saint. You know the Scholarly Sage of the Central Plains, Confucius, right? These words were actually said by her. It's just that I'm using modern language to explain them in a more superficial way. If you don't believe me, you can take a look at the Analects of Confucius. However, I doubt that you can understand it with your third-year junior high standards.”
Hearing Inuyasha's tone, Gomi was angry." Humph, don't look down on me. I'll go back and check to see if you said those words."”
Seeing that Kagome turned around and left, Inuyasha sat up and said,"Hey, Gomi, where's my reward?”
Kagome ignored Inuyasha and went back to her room. She still needed to prepare for tomorrow's exam, so she didn't have time to chat with Inuyasha.
