"You should be a human, right? Why do you want to snatch the Jade of Four Souls?”Gove asked Maitreya who was blocking the way.
"Humans have a beautiful side, but humans also have a greedy side. He probably wants to use the fragment of the Jade of Four Souls to achieve some evil goal.”Although Inuyasha knew that Maitreya wanted to use the Jade of Four Souls to defeat Nairo and resolve the curse of their family. In a sense, they had the same goal, but Inuyasha still deliberately smeared it.
"You're the one who's worth suspecting, half-demon. I'm a person who serves Buddha. Cut the crap and hand over the fragment of the Jade of Four Souls.”
"If you want the fragment of the Jade of Four Souls, then come and get it yourself.”Inuyasha was very unhappy with Maitreya's tone.
"Hmph, since that's the case, don't blame me.”With that, Maitreya prepared to use the wind cave in his hand.
Although Inuyasha was not afraid of Maitreya's wind cave, it was indeed a big trouble for him, so he decided to strike first and not give Maitreya the chance to use the wind cave.
While Maitreya was still undoing the seal on his hand, Inuyasha had already arrived in front of him. Maitreya was shocked by his speed. Inuyasha took advantage of this moment to smile and hit Maitreya's neck with a hand knife. Maitreya immediately fainted and fell to the ground.
"Is he alright?" Looking at Maitreya who was lying on the ground, Gove asked worriedly. Although Maitreya was here to snatch the Jade of Four Souls fragment, she felt that Maitreya was not a bad person.
"It's okay. I know what to do. He just fainted.”
"That's good. Inuyasha, wake him up and ask him why he collected the pieces of the Jade of Four Souls.”
Even without Kagome's words, Inuyasha was ready to do the same. He was the key to resolving the misunderstanding between him and Kikyo. He was an important witness.
Coincidentally, Kikyo was here. Because of the misunderstanding, Kikyo didn't believe what he said, but she should believe the words of an outsider she had never seen before.
Inuyasha slapped Maitreya's face hard. At this time, Kagome exclaimed,"Ah, Inuyasha, what are you doing?”
"Didn't you ask me to wake him up? I did as you said.”
After hearing Inuyasha's explanation, Kagome was speechless. I asked you to wake him up, not to hit him. There are many ways to wake him up. You are taking revenge openly. However, Maitreya is an outsider, and Inuyasha has a close relationship with me. Kagome will not be angry with Inuyasha for someone who has nothing to do with me, so she didn't say anything. However, even Kikyo couldn't stand Inuyasha's actions. She couldn't help but frown.
"It hurts!" Inuyasha's slap was effective. Maitreya woke up soon.
However, Maitreya felt a burning pain on his face and neck. Inuyasha had used a lot of force to attack him.
"You woke up. Tell me who you are and what is your purpose in collecting the fragments of the Jade of Four Souls?”After Maitreya woke up, Inuyasha immediately asked.
Maitreya looked at Inuyasha and the others who had surrounded him, thinking about how to escape.
"You want to escape, right? You don't have to worry about it. You have no hope of escaping from our hands. Do you know who this witch beside me is? She was the most powerful witch fifty years ago, Kikyo.”Inuyasha pointed at Kikyo and said.
"What is it? You are Kikyo? The one who guarded the Jade of Four Souls? Weren't you killed by Nairo fifty years ago?”Hearing Inuyasha say that the one wearing the witch costume was Kikyo, Maitreya was very surprised. According to his ancestors, Kikyo was killed by Nairo. A person who should have died 50 years ago had appeared in front of him. It would be strange if he wasn't surprised.
Previously, Kikyo didn't believe Inuyasha's words, thinking that Nara was a character he made up. Now that she had confirmed the existence of Nara from the mouth of the person she met for the first time, and that she was indeed killed by Nara, Kikyo began to believe Inuyasha's words.
In order to get confirmation, Kikyo stared at Maitreya." Tell me, what's going on with that Nairo?”
The pressure coming from Kikyo's body made even Maitreya feel a little breathless. He sighed in his heart that she was indeed one of the most powerful witches in the past.
"Fifty years ago, there was a monster called Nairo. His demonic aura was very powerful and he often ate people, but I have never really seen him. However, my grandfather had fought with Nairo before, and the battle lasted for several years. That guy always appeared in a different person's appearance. In the last battle, he appeared in the form of a beautiful woman. Although my grandfather had powerful magic power, unfortunately…"
"Because your grandfather is a lecherous and hungry ghost like you.”Inuyasha added.
"Yes, how did you know?" Maitreya looked at Inuyasha in surprise. Although Inuyasha's words were not pleasant to hear, Maitreya didn't look embarrassed at all.
"I can tell. You don't look like a playboy.”Inuyasha said perfunctorily.
"Inuyasha, you don't seem to have the right to say this.”Kagome rolled her eyes at Inuyasha.
"I didn't expect you to be on the same path.”Maitreya teased.
Kikyo, who was eager to know the news about Nairo, was not in the mood to joke at this time. She said sternly,"Stop fooling around. Maitreya, continue.”
"Yes." Maitreya nodded and continued,"Nairo ran away after penetrating the seal along with grandfather's right hand, so she left behind the Wind Cave on his right hand. This is Nairo's curse, and it will be passed down from generation to generation. As long as Nairo is not killed, the curse will not be lifted. This wind cave will grow bigger year by year, and the suction force will also become stronger. If I don't deal with Nairo, I'll probably be swallowed up in a few years. So I collected the Jade of Four Souls 'fragments to defeat Nairo. As for the matter regarding Kikyo Mika, it was passed down from my grandfather. That's all I know.”
"Nairo!" Kikyo gritted her teeth as her eyes turned red. Although there was still a strong resentment on Kikyo, it was no longer directed at Inuyasha, but at Nairo. Kikyo wanted to get rid of the culprit who had caused her and Inuyasha to be separated for 50 years and caused the misunderstanding between the two of them. She had never felt so strongly about killing someone.
Maitreya couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine when he saw the monstrous killing intent. Although he knew that the killing intent wasn't directed at him, he still felt extremely terrified.
And Kagome and Seven Treasures were also affected. Seven Treasures was so scared that they trembled. If Kagome didn't have Inuyasha to rely on, she might have been so scared that she sat on the ground.
"Inuyasha, Kikyo is so scary now…"
Indeed, the current Kikyo was indeed very scary. She was even more terrifying than when she had just been resurrected.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Inuyasha patted Kagome's back.
Inuyasha wasn't affected much by Kikyo's killing intent, but he felt that if this continued, Kikyo would be in great danger. She might lose her way and walk into the demonic path. If that happened, it would be a disaster. After all, Kikyo was a witch with very powerful spiritual power. If she went crazy, very few people could deal with her. Inuyasha, who had a way to deal with Kikyo, would definitely not hurt her.
"That's enough, Kikyo. You'll get lost in hatred.”At this moment, Inuyasha pressed his hands on Kikyo's shoulders and looked into her eyes. He said seriously. It was rare to see him so serious.
Perhaps she heard Inuyasha's call, Kikyo raised her head and looked at Inuyasha. She raised her hand and rubbed Inuyasha's cheek as she shouted,""Inuyasha!" The blood red color in his eyes gradually disappeared, and he returned to his original appearance.
The killing intent disappeared, and Kagome, Seven Treasures, and Maitreya all let out a sigh of relief. Especially Maitreya, who was standing in front of Kikyo just now, his clothes were soaked.
"I'm sorry, Inuyasha, I misunderstood you.”When she first resurrected, she yelled at Inuyasha and said guiltily.
"It's okay, as long as you're fine. It's not your fault, it's Nairo's fault.”Inuyasha looked at Kikyo and said gently.
"No, this is my mistake. You said that Nairo was born from the Spider Ghost that was eaten by the monster. If I hadn't been soft-hearted and saved the Spider Ghost, there wouldn't be Nairo. If it wasn't for Nairo, how could we have been separated for fifty years? In the end, all of this was caused by me.”
"No, Kikyo, this really isn't your fault. There's always the will of the heavens. Perhaps all of this is arranged by the heavens, a test from the heavens for us.”Inuyasha held Kikyo in his arms and rubbed her back with one hand to comfort her, hoping that she would stop blaming herself.
After listening to the conversation between Inuyasha and Kikyo, Maitreya finally knew where Nairo came from. It turned out that Nairo was a bandit called Ghost Spider who was saved by Kikyo. He wanted to shout," No matter how kind you are, you can't just save people casually. In the end, you hurt yourself and others." Of course, Maitreya wanted to say this, but he didn't dare to say it. He felt that if he dared to say such words at this time, if he sprinkled salt on the wound of Kikyo, that half-demon called Inuyasha would definitely strike him.
Seeing that Inuyasha and Kikyo had been hugging each other for so long, Gomi was not happy. She deliberately coughed and said,""It's almost time. I think it's better for us to hurry.”
Inuyasha and Kikyo naturally understood what Kagome meant. Although Inuyasha was thick-skinned and didn't care, Kikyo was a girl after all. How could she not care?
After releasing Maitreya and Hachi, Inuyasha and the rest continued their journey.
