Chapter 109 - Sesshomaru's Confusion: Only a foolish Hanyo would be with a human!
"Kira, do you have a cold?"
Early the next morning, Tsukuyomi looked at Kira, who was sneezing, and asked with concern.
That's not right!
Can Kira, a monster, even catch a cold?
In response, Kira just glared at Tsukuyomi resentfully. If Tsukuyomi hadn't left him outside all night yesterday, and if he hadn't felt like something was wrong with his condition, he wouldn't have caught a cold!
Damn it!
"It must be due to your physical condition. You've been eating too well. You should eat less, otherwise, your body is prone to developing rich man's diseases."
You're the one who's been eating too well!
Kira took a deep breath. Sure enough, cats and dogs don't get along!
"Alright, Big Dog, don't talk about Kira anymore. She probably got sick because you made her sleep outside last night."
Mhm!
That's right!
Kira nodded in agreement, feeling touched in his heart. As expected of his master, she really cared about him more than this heartless Big Dog.
"So, I still need to find a place for Kira to live."
Hey, hey, hey!?
Aren't I with you?
Kira looked at Tsukuyomi in disbelief. When did he lose the chance to live together with her? He was actually going to have his own room, but Kira found he couldn't be happy about it.
He was actually driven out by Big Dog!
Tsukuyomi was actually going to make a new nest for him for the sake of Big Dog.
"Oh, right, I might need to go out for a trip later."
Tsukuyomi hadn't originally planned to go, but since Bai Ye had already left, and she had nothing else to do, she decided to go and see.
"What?"
"It's about an exchange meeting. Exorcist Masters from all over the world will gather to share their experiences."
Tsukuyomi nodded her chin. This meeting had always existed, but she had never attended it before. This year, she was invited again, and she was considering whether to go.
If there's nothing else, she might go.
"There's also that?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Bai Ye's eyes. This was the first time he had heard of it.
"Mhm, but I might go, or I might not. It mainly depends on whether there are other things happening here in Exorcist Village."
"Alright, Tsukuyomi, I'll be leaving now. I'll come back for you later."
Bai Ye embraced Tsukuyomi, and Tsukuyomi leaned into Bai Ye's shoulder, enjoying this rare moment of leisure.
Even though her heart was filled with reluctance, she knew very well that she couldn't stop Bai Ye from leaving at this moment.
Watching Bai Ye's departing back, Tsukuyomi's feeling of gain and loss grew stronger. She didn't know when they would meet again.
Touching her belly, Tsukuyomi secretly cheered herself on. Her belly had to be strong; she definitely had to have a child. Although she knew this wasn't something she and Bai Ye could control, she was still very much looking forward to having a child with Bai Ye.
"Kira, let's go patrol around Exorcist Village first."
Since Bai Ye had left, she shouldn't dwell on matters of love anymore. At this moment, Tsukuyomi had returned to being that strong and brave miko. After being away for so many days, there seemed to be a lot of demonic energy around Exorcist Village.
Tsukuyomi also knew that she needed to act. There were simply too many demons in this era, especially the widespread corpses and the spread of death energy caused by wars between humans and between demons.
This became fertile ground for ghosts and demons, and even humans would be affected by this series of events.
"Chirp!"
Kira grew larger, carrying Tsukuyomi and flying towards the vicinity. The moment they took off, Tsukuyomi looked in the direction Bai Ye had left, then her gaze firmly looked forward.
No matter what happens in the future, at least for now, she had found her goal!
"I told you long ago, if you had merged with us, how could such a situation have occurred?"
"She's with that Inu-yasha now, you no longer have a chance!"
"What are you still hesitating for? We've already half-merged with you, are you still unwilling to completely open your heart to us? Do you think you can still regret it now? Tsukuyomi doesn't care about demons or not. If you are weak, you won't even have a chance to approach her!"
In a cave.
Countless demons were bewitching the man from within his heart.
The demons had actually half-merged with the man, but the man's heart had always remained closed, obviously still hesitating.
But at this moment, he was also on the verge of collapse.
He believed that the holy Miko-sama was actually with a demon.
She was no longer holy!
His heart opened wide; he wanted to destroy everything. And the demons, seeing this, naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity, and they all surged into the man's heart.
They had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time; they finally managed to bewitch this guy.
This man wasn't truly evil at heart.
On the contrary, he possessed both evil and sacred sides.
And such a person, after becoming a true demon, would be even more terrifying than a completely evil person becoming a demon.
Because however holy he once was, he would become equally evil after becoming a demon, and the evil that had been suppressed in his heart, because Tsukuyomi was no longer as he imagined, his belief completely collapsed.
Initially, although he wanted to merge with demons to achieve the goal of approaching Tsukuyomi, he didn't completely give himself away.
He wanted to maintain control of the body and also didn't want to become the embodiment of evil from then on.
Because in his view, as long as he could approach Tsukuyomi, he would have a chance. Even an Inu-yasha could do it, why couldn't he?
So, harboring such thoughts, the man had always kept his heart from completely merging with the demons.
And the demons naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to continuously bewitch him, but his heart was incredibly firm. No matter how the demons tried to bewitch him, he steadfastly adhered to what he believed in.
But now he didn't want to persevere. It turned out that Tsukuyomi wasn't as he had imagined.
What he couldn't have, he wanted to destroy completely. He wouldn't allow the 'white moonlight' in his memory to fall, nor would he allow it to be possessed by anyone else.
At this moment, even if Tsukuyomi was in front of him, she couldn't compare to his former 'white moonlight', even if it was her, a rotten 'white moonlight'.
"Seimei is truly unexpectedly powerful, that guy."
The boy observed the man's transformation, which was more powerful than they had imagined.
"Of course, he's stronger. Because his belief has collapsed, and we have that guy to thank for it."
Abe no Seimei said indifferently, his eyes fixed on the merging man.
He had originally thought that if this man could retain a trace of kindness in his original heart, then this Hanyo would not be complete, would not be the strongest, but there was nothing he could do; that's just how this guy's heart was.
Perhaps he might even be touched by Tsukuyomi later on; all of that was possible.
But now that the other party had completely turned dark, Seimei no longer had those worries.
"But that Inu-yasha isn't here recently, so how do we act? We can't use these trash demons, can we?"
Even these created demons, now with Tsukuyomi completely in love and her shikon jewel fluctuating, seemed to be completely inadequate.
Originally, before this couple appeared, the boy knew that Seimei wanted to turn Tsukuyomi and these demons into the shikon jewel, which was the lowest grade. Of course, if there were better options, he definitely wouldn't choose this.
But now that Bai Ye had left, it seemed they couldn't gather enough.
"The Leopard Cat Clan is no match for the Inu Demon Clan, but before dealing with these two, we need to weaken them first. This demon can weaken Tsukuyomi, and then, with his love for Tsukuyomi, they can fight forever in the shikon jewel."
"And for Inuyasha Bai Ye, we can find Inu Daisho's mortal enemy to weaken his strength, so that neither of them will be at their peak."
Then, in the shikon jewel, two loving couples fighting two mortal enemies, the shikon jewel will indeed become stronger!"
Seimei had already planned everything, and the first step was complete. Now, he just needed to follow his plan.
This world, he would eventually transform it. This world shouldn't have been like this for a long time!
"Strange, I felt demonic energy nearby earlier, but why can't I feel it now?"
Tsukuyomi looked around, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. Earlier, she had clearly sensed the presence of demonic energy nearby.
But it disappeared in an instant. Following the source of the demonic energy, she found nothing but mountains and forests in the vicinity.
After searching carefully without success, Tsukuyomi could only temporarily leave the area.
Soon after Tsukuyomi left, in a cave, a barrier opened, and a man emerged from it. He looked in the direction Tsukuyomi had left, a strange meaning flashing in his eyes.
If he hadn't been blocked by the barrier just now, he would have dragged Tsukuyomi into the cave and killed her!
He wanted to destroy Tsukuyomi!
"Why didn't you let me out just now?"
The man turned his head to look at Seimei behind him and asked indifferently.
Although he knew that this guy in front of him had created him, he showed no respect whatsoever.
"It's not time yet. You're not as strong as Tsukuyomi right now, and what I want hasn't arrived yet, so don't make a move for now. Wait until you've adapted well, then gather the demons and act, otherwise, it's easy to fail!"
Seimei looked at the man, his emotions completely unperturbed, as if he was talking about a very small matter.
He didn't think highly of the newly born Hanyo.
This guy was still too weak and needed to become stronger, and there were too few demons here; it wasn't enough for Tsukuyomi to kill.
Later, he would also need to set up a formation to trap Tsukuyomi here, otherwise, if Tsukuyomi left, how could he create the shikon jewel?
So, this wasn't something that could be decided with a single word. On the contrary, the more such a situation was encountered, the more effort was needed to make all preparations to avoid any accidents.
"Heh heh, that Inu-yasha is yours, but Tsukuyomi is mine. I will kill her with my own hands!"
A cold smile flashed across the man's face, but although his words carried murderous intent, Seimei felt a strange meaning.
Kill her?
Can you really do it?
Seimei chuckled to himself. He didn't know why this guy could say such words. Even if he didn't really look into his own heart, he should know that he didn't have the resolve to kill Tsukuyomi, right?
He's truly a pitiful wretch.
The person he loves doesn't love him but loves someone else. This taste of unrequited love brought Seimei a wave of pleasure.
They were all nourishment for his shikon jewel, soon, very soon...
After speaking, Seimei turned around, ready to prepare some 'gifts' for him.
After all, he created him, so he might as well feed the other party to make him stronger.
"Seimei, do we need to gather some people from Heian-kyō?"
The boy asked.
"No, the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons is not yet time. It's still a bit difficult to summon those guys right now. Wait."
Seimei shook his head. He hadn't considered summoning the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons for now.
Not to mention that opening the Underworld was difficult at the moment, and since his chess pieces were all ready, there was no need to waste them. Based on this principle, Seimei decided to keep them in reserve. If any accident occurred, he could bring the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons and completely destroy this world.
"Alright, Seimei!"
Seeing this, the boy said no more.
Elsewhere.
At the battlefield between the Inu Demon Clan and the Leopard Cat Clan, after learning of Bai Ye's arrival, Inu Daisho's face was beaming with a smile. Although he knew Bai Ye would definitely come, Inu Daisho didn't rush him too much.
Moreover, he secretly thought that it didn't matter whether Bai Ye came or not, he just muttered a sentence. But when he heard that his son was actually with a human miko, he was incredibly surprised.
This guy was playing an even bigger game than him.
At most, he had only hooked up with a human princess, and she was just an ordinary person. Bai Ye was different; he was a miko, and the strongest miko of this era!
His son had actually managed to win over this miko. While he was happy, Inu Daisho also had a hint of sadness.
After all, this miko, in the end, had a grudge against demons. Many demons in his own clan had actually been killed by Tsukuyomi.
The Inu Demon Clan was not just Inu-yasha, but also many subordinates.
And Bai Ye being with Tsukuyomi would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among his subordinates.
This would make it difficult for many things to develop in the future. For example, Inu Daisho hoped to entrust the Inu Demon Clan to Bai Ye.
Firstly, Bai Ye was a pure-blood demon, and he also had more humanity than Sesshomaru. He could inherit the Inu Demon Clan and also Tsumuryuha.
Sesshomaru had his own path, but his personality was too domineering and cold, while Tenseiga was very suitable for Sesshomaru.
The unborn Inu-yasha would inherit Tessaiga. He was a Hanyo, so he needed strength to protect himself.
This was what Inu Daisho had planned, but now, it seemed the situation was getting a little out of control.
"Hmph, has that guy arrived? How disgraceful. Only a foolish Hanyo would be with a human. He's actually like Father, why!?"
Sesshomaru was confused in his heart. He couldn't understand why a demon would be with a human woman!
