What happened to your teeth? And your hair!"she exclaimed as the sun burst over the horizon. She awoke near the smoldering remnants of the fire. Almost unrecognizable from last night, the man beside her now bore striking silver-white hair and piercing golden eyes with a hint of brown—an intoxicating contrast, especially with his dog-like ears. Yet, his eyebrows remained jet black. "Who are you? Were you trying to seduce me in my sleep? I'm still a young maiden, and I'm not ready to give up my virginity,"she teased playfully, pretending innocence. Though she wasn't entirely naive, she sensed they were the same person, yet she couldn't understand why his appearance had changed so dramatically overnight.
"Shut up, would ya? I'd never lay a hand on a stupid woman like you," he snapped flusteredly, a hint of arrogance in his voice." What is wrong with you!?"
She giggled, caught up in the moment.
"Lord InuYasha is only half-demon. His father's a demon, his mother's human," Myoga interjected, grabbing her attention. But what truly baffled her was the mysterious origin of this strange creature, her curiosity burning brighter than ever.
Hold on... Just wait a minute! Where this flea come from? I remember seeing him last night but then he disappeared... Am I losing my mind?
You must be feeling troubled, young lady. That beast was a demon, and there are many more lurking where that came from," Myoga said with a serious tone.
She slammed her fist into the palm of her hand, as if a light bulb had suddenly ignited above her head. "That's right! You vanished in the dead of night when I heard the howling. I can't believe it—Myoga!"
"He's always fleeing when times get tough," InuYasha muttered with a heavy sigh, frustration thick in his voice.
So, InuYasha is a half-demon...How can a demon and a human do it?
As she pondered the intense intimacy between a demon and a human, her cheeks flushed crimson. Her eyes locked onto InuYasha, and a fiery blush spread across her face at the thought of this half-breed being so close to her. The idea ignited a wild, exhilarating fantasy in her mind, making her shake her head in disbelief and awe.
' Um, is she okay?" InuYasha thought. His ears perked up instantly as distant footsteps approached, and a sharp scent of his companions grew stronger. Driven by stubborn determination, he surged ahead to find the sacred jewel fragment, but an unexpected encounter with a formidable opponent forced him to forget about it for a moment.
" Kagome and the others will be here soon." Myoga mentioned.
She abruptly cupped her face with both hands, slapping her cheeks to snap out of her dizzying daydream. Coming back to reality, she was confused about what was happening, only to see InuYasha and Myoga standing nearby, seemingly waiting for something or someone.
Oh! Are they waiting for me to leave? How embarrassing. I probably should say goodbye to my lover not lover.
She spotted a village gleaming in the distance along the winding path. With quick, nimble fingers, she rummaged through her straw backpack and twisted together a vibrant bracelet from straw, slipping it onto InuYasha's wrist without a word. "Remember me by this,"she whispered, leaning in to give him a quick, daring peck on the cheek. He startled, stepping back in surprise, his face flushing with sudden embarrassment.
Hey, where are you headed?" InuYasha shouted.
"Don't worry next time we meet, I'll craft an even better bracelet for you. When you see me, be ready for something special—marriage might just be in the air. They say distance makes the heart grow fonder, after all, and I can't wait to prove it. I promiseto keep my chastity just for you to take. Okay? Lord InuYasha!"
" She is quite bold, Lord InuYasha." Myoga commented.
He glanced at his wrist, where a simple straw bracelet caught the sunlight as she vanished down the path near the village. A sudden urge pushed him to reach out, craving just a moment longer with her. Just as he was about to call out, his companions shouted his name. Turning back, he saw her silhouette fade into the distance, but he still caught the faint, sweet scent lingering in the air.
Come on, InuYasha. We're heading back to Kadea Village. Kagome needs to go home for her studies. While you ran off, did you manage to find the sacred jewel shard?
"Jewel shard?"
Heavenly-Autumn shimmered with excitement, her head swaying eagerly back and forth as she clutched her straw bag tightly. Inside, a sacred gem fragment glinted—an accidental discovery she mistook for medicine, unaware of its true power.
