Konoha: On the night of the massacre, I summoned Inuyasha.

In an instant, his little friend transformed into a prince.

"Idiot Inuyasha, infatuated Kagome..."

The relationships between adults are so complicated.

Shippo sighed, feigning maturity, and then slapped Inuyasha across the face.

Grandpa Myoga slowly floated down under Inuyasha's angry gaze.

boom!

Shippo collapsed to the ground, and Inuyasha withdrew his fist, feeling much better immediately.

I hate you...

Inuyasha, I hate you…

In the cold, dark world, a kind of black mist seemed to be spreading.

A small, frail figure was huddled in a corner, muttering to itself, yet exuding an astonishing resentment.

"What terrible resentment!"

"The old hag is right; it seems that Kikyo died with a tremendous amount of resentment."

The moon's silhouette had somehow vanished into the darkness.

He floated in the air, looking down at the witch huddled in the corner.

Suddenly, a brilliant light shone in the sky, centered on the moon, dispelling the darkness.

A world filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers has replaced the enclosed space shrouded in black fog.

"It's you!"

Kikyo looked around at the changes with a bit of a blank expression. Suddenly, she looked up and saw where the moon was.

There, the boy's figure had stopped radiating light, and he slowly descended to the ground, walking step by step towards Kikyo.

"Ha, playing tricks."

I can sense that your heart is even darker than mine.

Kikyo slowly stood up, watching the moon arrive with a cold smile.

This place is not the real world, but the moon, or rather, Kikyo's mental space.

Or rather, it is the mental space of Yue's current body.

With Yue's mastery of illusion magic, she could easily alter the environment shrouded in Kikyo's resentment, transforming it into the place she desired.

Is it dark?

Perhaps.

The moon smiled softly, and with a wave of its hand, birds cried mournfully and flowers withered.

Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a fierce wind arose.

Dark clouds replaced the clear sky, and the sun transformed into a scarlet blood moon.

The red light shone on the moon, making it appear evil and eerie.

The smile playing on Yue's lips suddenly appeared strangely eerie.

He was never light, but rather the Uchiha, a demon, a wave of killing intent, a tailed beast, an Otsutsuki, a divine tree…

He is a demon, he is a monster, he is darkness, he is evil.

"So, this is your true face after all?"

"An evil fellow."

Kikyo was not surprised; instead, she sneered and stared straight at the moon, her eyes full of mockery.

"Although you have blocked most of my senses, I can still receive some information from the outside world."

My reincarnation, and...

Even Inuyasha, that traitor, considered you a comrade, right?!

Kikyo began to speak, her words both a question and a statement of certainty.

"But you, you stole half of that girl's spiritual power and even part of her soul to maintain my existence."

"State your purpose!"

You rascal.

"What evil purpose do you want to achieve by using me?"

Kikyo sneered, "However, you will be disappointed."

What is justice, and what is evil?

What is light? What is darkness?

Yue simply looked at Kikyo and spoke softly.

Power knows no distinction between good and evil.

Only among people can there be a distinction between good and evil.

"Some people are like the bellflower, full of light and upholding justice."

There are also those like the witch Li Tao, who are filled with darkness and deeply mired in evil.

Monsters, too.

"In order to survive, there are those like the Ghost Spider who burn, kill, and plunder."

Driven by greed and power, they occupy positions above ordinary people, using their status as city lords to enslave the common folk.

"But there is also that little fox named Shippo, who has never harbored any murderous intent toward humans. On the contrary, he often helps the villagers of Maple Village with whatever he can."

The moon slowly rose, but Kikyo remained unmoved.

"Then, the yokai named Kikyo!"

Are you righteous or wicked right now?

Is it light, or darkness?

Suddenly, Yue looked up, gently lifted Kikyo's chin, and a half-smile appeared on her face.

"Platycodon grandiflorus..."

The priestess suddenly froze, and an extremely dark aura began to emerge on her face.

Like a menacing black mist, it seemed intent on devouring the girl completely.

Snapped……

He gently pinched Kikyo's nose, making the girl breathless.

After a long while, the shrine maiden opened her small mouth and made a shameful blowing sound.

"Yes, I am Kikyo, but I am not Kikyo."

Kikyo turned her head away from Tsuki's hand and sighed softly.

"Kikyo died completely fifty years ago."

If she continues, it is not in the underworld, but in a girl named Kagome.

The memories I have now are merely those evoked by the spirit of the ghost woman Rito, who is the reincarnation of Kikyo.

My existence is nothing more than a combination of resentment, Kikyo's memories, and a portion of Kikyo's reincarnated soul.

Kikyo's eyes looked somewhat lifeless.

Compared to the priestess in front of her, Kagome is actually more like Kikyo.

After all, Kikyo's soul did not ascend to heaven or fall into the underworld after her death; instead, she was reincarnated.

Kagome is the continuation of Kikyo's spirit.

The Kikyo before us is merely someone who possesses Kikyo's memories...

monster!

Her heart was dark.

It is a memory of resentment.

"Inuyasha!"

I will kill Inuyasha!

This is my destiny, and also the meaning of my existence.

Only by killing this traitor who betrayed Kikyo can my resentment be appeased.

Kikyo suddenly erupted with terrifying resentment and intense spiritual power once again.

A fierce wind howled, centered on Kikyo, and even whipped up Yue's clothes, making them flutter loudly.

Tell me your purpose, and I'll help you achieve it.

"Let me take my revenge."

Kikyo's voice was cold and full of resentment.

Chapter 181 Shrine Maiden, Be My Kikyo

Yue raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised by the power Kikyo still possessed.

It's important to understand that this is different from the original history.

Now, Kikyo only has a small part of Kagome's soul left.

Kagome's spiritual power was taken by Yue herself and not left to Kikyo.

The shrine maiden before them still unleashed an aura of a great demon.

Is it because of resentment?
