Becoming a Demon King from Inuyasha

Before Nagao Kagetora could finish his words, he noticed a white cloud flying in the sky.

The next moment, the white cloud fell to the ground, and Ye Men cancelled the effect of his skill, transforming back into his original form from a humanoid dog general.

"Can you only fly on the clouds if you transform into that form?" Yuyuko asked curiously.

"Yes, if humans want to fly, they can only rely on magic tools, and they fly slowly. In contrast, monsters are too gifted in this regard, and riding the clouds is as easy as eating and drinking."

Ye Men didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

It's just a transformation skill, almost like wearing a suit.

Among the people who came, Nagao Kagetora only knew Usami Sadamichi, but seeing that he was still immersed in the pleasure of flying, he didn't expect him to help introduce him.

"You brought Mr. Teitaru with you, and you can ride clouds and transform. I guess you are the new Kanto Kanrei, the reincarnation of that great demon? I am the next Echigo Shugo, you can call me Kagetora."

"Okay, Ms. Jinghu, you can call me Yemen as well."

“…I am a man.”

Ye Men was slightly startled, then he laughed:

"Sorry, I won't tell anyone."

Nagao Kagetora was speechless and couldn't help but look down at his clothes and the bra he was wearing today.

"Is it obvious?"

"Did you disguise yourself? Just wearing men's clothes is not a disguise."

"Is that so? I thought my disguise was pretty perfect. No one had ever discovered it."

"Is it possible that everyone has already discovered it, but is just too embarrassed to point it out?"

"If that's the case, it would be a huge failure."

Nagao Kagetora couldn't help but laugh, and at the same time, he secretly thought:

He seems to be a person with an easy-going personality, unlike those warriors who are full of hostility.

However, he is too lustful, which is a not-so-small flaw.

At this time, two more young men ran into the courtyard.

Before they could speak, Nagao Kagetora asked first:

"Is it the Guardian House and Linquan Temple?"

"Yes, Lord Kagetora."

"I know, I'll be there right away."

Nagao Kagetora sighed helplessly and said:

"Master Yemen, I have some urgent matters to attend to. Since you and Kikyo are acquainted, please let Kikyo and Mr. Dingman entertain you. I will be back soon."

Seeing this, Usami Sadami hurried forward and asked in a low voice:

"Your Highness Kagetora, has anything major happened in Echigo during the few days I was away?"

"Yesterday evening, Masakage-sama encountered a monster on his way here and was killed on the spot. This morning, Shugo-sama and my brother invited me to meet with them. I will go to the Shugo house first and then go to Linsenji."

So fast?

Usami Sadami was delighted. After the three people from Yemen left the day before yesterday, he vaguely mentioned it to Sanada Yukitaka, but did not make a formal commission.

I didn't expect that it would be done in just one day.

It seems that I have to think carefully about how to return the gift.

"Your Highness Kagetora is probably worried that whichever family you go to first, you will offend the other family, right? In that case, why not send a message to Lord Harukage while you go to the Guardian family, and ask him to go to the Guardian family as well, and discuss the security issues of Echigo Province together."

"Won't this offend my brother?"

"Your Highness Kagetora, do you think that there is still room for Harukage's hostility towards you to decrease?"

“…You’re right.” Nagao Kagetora was speechless. He had to admit in his heart that his brother had always hated him and would not change his opinion just because he went to find him first.

"Forget it, let's do this."

After Nagao Kagetora hurriedly left, Kikyo slowly walked towards Kagome.

"You've come just in time. It's time for me to leave."

? ?

Kagome was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and took two steps back.

"Wait a minute, Miss Kikyo, don't you want to live anymore?"

"I am a wreckage formed by part of your soul, plus the resentment and unwillingness from your previous life. I can't be considered alive from the beginning."

"But, being able to have one's own consciousness, being able to speak and laugh, and being able to witness the changes in this world with one's own eyes, isn't that what living is all about?"

"My consciousness was only stolen from you. The moment the resentment dissipated, I lost the meaning of my existence."

Yuyuko looked back and forth at the two of them, as if thinking about something.

Is it also the relationship between past and future lives?

It is quite interesting that two different consciousnesses can be formed by cutting the soul.

However, is it necessary to separate the past life and the present life?

"Kagome, she's right. She's not an individual, nor a human or a youkai. She's just a little bit of ashes left over from her past life. No matter how hard she tries to survive, there's always a limit to her survival."

Hearing Yuyuko's second half of the sentence, Yemen couldn't help but interrupt:

"Even if it's ashes, it's meaningful. Just like the protagonist Yuuji Sakai in Shana, he became a torch at the beginning of the story, relying on the lost child to restore his strength every day, but who can deny the meaning of his existence?"

"Kikyo, a person who should not have appeared, has gained consciousness and appeared in this world again."

"In that case, how about trying to move on?"

It turned out to be the case.

Yuyi Fox glanced at Yemen with a half-smile, then changed his words:

"I can improve the Shikigami contract ceremony. As long as the two of you sign the contract, you can share the power of the soul and no longer need to collect dead souls to maintain yourself."

"The content of the contract should be set loosely, or it can be determined one by one, and both parties can sign it after reaching an agreement."

Is this still possible? If you are sure it is possible, it is a good idea.

"No problem for me." Kagome nodded repeatedly, "Ms. Kikyo, shall we discuss the terms?"

Chapter 58: Nagao Kagetora vs. Kikyo and Kagome

Kikyo remained silent.

If possible, she naturally wanted to stay conscious.

After all, the reason why I was able to keep this part of my soul in Kagome's hands was because of the strong unwillingness in my heart.

However, she also knew very well that she was just a dead person.

Finding that Kikyo had not responded, Kagome could not help but say:

"Don't you have my memories, Ms. Kikyo? Then you should also know Shana and Sakai Yuuji. When I watched the anime with Yemen before, I really liked this one."

"Or is it that you don't have any attachment to this world at all?"

At this moment, Kikyo unconsciously thought of a lot of things.

Before, due to Li Tao's secret technique, the moment he regained consciousness, he was forced to leave behind a part of his soul due to the resentment and unwillingness in his heart.

At the same time, many of Kagome's memories were also seen.

The world five hundred years from now will be completely different from the present. It will be harmonious, stable, and abundant in resources. Everyone will lead a fulfilling and interesting life, and everything will seem so beautiful.

Unlike herself, although her father died early, her grandfather and mother had good personalities and cherished her like a treasure since the year she was born.

When he was three years old, Yemen began to run to the shrine frequently, almost treating it as his home.

Play together, watch TV together, skip rope, climb trees together, go to school together...

When they grew up, they were called childhood sweethearts, but their relationship was actually closer than that of lovers.

All of this made Kikyo feel as if she had seen another ideal self.

Every time that happens, I think of Inuyasha.

Compared to Kagome's own childhood sweetheart and the romances in her memories of TV and movies, Inuyasha is like a child who will never grow up.

From the moment she regained consciousness, Kikyo felt reluctant to see Inuyasha.

Every once in a while, this feeling becomes stronger.

Because I'm afraid that if I meet him again, I'll start to hate Inuyasha.

The reason why memories are beautiful is that they have been quietly beautified in our hearts. For some unforgettable memories, it would be better if they could remain forever at the moment of first encounter.

By becoming Kagome's shikigami, you can witness the future with her and live a leisurely life.

But, is this really good?

Seeing Kagome looking at him expectantly, Kikyo couldn't help but sigh:

"I hope to add a clause in the contract that I can unilaterally terminate the contract at any time."

? ?

Kagome nodded slightly and said with a smile:

"No problem! Miss Kikyo, I have no intention of enslaving anyone, and I will not force you to do anything."

"I just want to get to know you better. If possible, please guide me in my training. I want to become stronger and have the confidence to fight alone."

"Okay." Kikyo responded softly.

Perhaps because she had seen the memory, she did not have any ill feelings towards Kagome, but rather just envy.

With the help of Yuura and Yuyuko, Kagome quickly signed a Shikigami contract with Kikyo.

At the moment the contract was signed, Kikyo's soul separated from her clay body and gradually stabilized.

But because it has no body, it is more like a spirit with a physical body that can switch between reality and illusion.

Feeling the spiritual power in her body gradually increasing and her soul gradually stabilizing, Kikyo finally had the energy to approach Kagome.

He casually burned the body of the terracotta figurine on the ground and spoke slowly:

"Why has the Four Souls Jade always been in your soul?"

“…We don’t know how to get it out.”

Facing Kikyo's puzzled gaze, Kagome felt somewhat embarrassed:

"If I rashly approach someone, I don't know if the other person can be trusted."

"Besides, after taking it out, I can only hang it around my neck. I'm not confident that I won't lose it."

"That's fine." Kikyo nodded slightly to show her understanding.

Unlike herself, she was just an ordinary high school girl and had not received any training as a shrine maiden.

Besides, she is not a steady person, so keeping the Four Souls Jade inside her soul is a better way to preserve it.

Sensing the still pure spiritual power of the Four Souls Jade, Kikyo put aside her worries and said:

"Are you here to seek allies this time? Kagetora himself has no ambitions, but he is too responsible and too kind, so he relies on his subordinates to push him forward."

“It does have a certain meaning.”

Ye Men nodded slightly and said again:

"But more importantly, we're discussing the joint development of Sado. Of course, we're also coming to see Miss Kikyo."

Sado?

Kikyo reacted quickly. From Kagome's memory, she knew that the Sado Gold Mine had astonishing reserves and that anyone who wanted to rule the world should not miss it.
