【Inuyasha】White Moonlight and Vermillion Mole

"Let me think, let me think... Ah, it's Kikyo, Kikyo!" Yuka's eyebrows were raised, and she shouted, "The name of the flower, the first time I heard it, I was impressed by the name. It's so nice."

"Right, Higurashi--eh?"

When, it disappeared.

Yuka Eri Ayumi looked at the empty back, and the six eyes looked at each other, and they all saw the intriguing look in each other's eyes.

It seems... that something incredible has been discovered.

Kagome lowered her head all the way home, and she didn't dare to look back, for fear of running into someone familiar.

"Huh, huh..." After climbing the steps of the Torii, Kagome looked behind her, patted her chest with lingering fear, and panted, "It's terrible, how did you guess it?"

When did Hojo know? How did he know everything? !

Kagome held her head and tried to recall, as if she had some memory... ah, yes, it was the time when he didn't know he was sick with a cold, because he was too worried about Kikyo and Naraku hiding in the dark, and as a result, her drowsy brain somehow said what he thought.

"So, I was the one who spilled the beans?" Kagome muttered.

"It's still a rumor... No, this time it's a confirmed rumor."

Thinking of the words she blurted out before she fled, saying that she had someone she liked, Kagome had a headache.

In the past, she had never been treated like this.

As she was worried, Souta's voice came from above.

"Brother——"

Kagome raised her head, "Souta? Why are you staying outside instead of going home? Just after school? No, you got out of school earlier than me."

He said, quickening his pace and stepping onto the last step.

And Souta saw that his brother had finally returned, and he was relieved. He pushed him into the shrine with an anxious look, "Don't talk too much, go in quickly, brother! Grandpa and mom can't handle it anymore!"

"...Huh?" Kagome was caught off guard by the push and was confused.

"Hey, hey? Wait, can't handle it..." Kagome was not prepared for Souta's strength, and was pushed to take two steps in a daze.

"Wait! Souta!"

After reacting, Kagome stopped and broke free. She turned around with her hands on her waist and frowned at her brother, "Souta, make it clear, what are you in such a hurry to do?"

"Oh! Brother, the situation is urgent! Go to the worship hall first!"

Souta saw that he couldn't push, so he pulled Kagome's hand and walked inside with all his strength, opening his arms wide, "So many people!"

Kagome was slightly stunned by Souta's exaggerated expression, "So many people? Is today a worship day?"

Not to mention Souta's surprise, Kagome also looked unconvinced.

The main reason is that although their family lives in a shrine, the activities such as worshipping shikigami at home are all voluntary. The century-old shrine is mainly for visitors, and only a few people pray and worship. Moreover, the shrine is very old, and they are afraid that too many people will damage the old house. Grandpa has set restrictions on the people who come to visit and only opens it on special days.

"It's not a worship day." Souta was speechless. He looked at Kagome carefully, up and down, and finally fixed on Kagome's face.

"Why, why are you looking at me like that?" Kagome was so scared that she couldn't speak clearly.

Souta's eyes were mature, and he shook his head and sighed like a little adult, "Ah~ It's all because of your charm, brother."

What? What charm?

Kagome was in a mess, and was about to complain whether Souta had taken the wrong medicine today, when he suddenly had an idea and suddenly remembered that before he separated from Yuka and the others, Yuka said - "Everyone, find a chance to visit your family's shrine."

"No way..." He began to mutter unconsciously, his expression collapsed, "Speed... so fast?" It's time to go home!

Without waiting for Souta to urge him, Kagome took a very fast step this time and strode towards the main hall.

Passing through the stone paved approach leading to the shrine, Kagome saw the entrance of the offering hall crowded with people from afar before she even stepped into it.

Looking closely, the girls in school uniforms were holding hands and talking and laughing, ringing bells and bowing to worship one by one, and the bells were accompanied by the flying skirts.

Grandpa was busy on the side, and they had never received tourists on non-visiting days. The incident happened suddenly and they were a little flustered for a while.

Mother Higurashi was talking to the girls. She was laughing so hard that her body shook.

Kagome's scalp was tingling and she was about to back out.

"Brother, go in. You will entertain your classmates. Hurry up." Souta urged.

He squatted by the wooden fence surrounding the outside of the hall. His evasive look made Kagome sweat. Souta was a coward.

But before going in, there were still some questions to ask. Kagome leaned over to Souta and whispered, "How long have the people inside been here?" They had just finished school, so it was estimated that it would not be long.Sure enough, Sota raised a finger, "They just came a while ago. They washed their hands at the hand-washing room, and when they saw that there was no one in the community office, they went to the worship hall together."

She was quite considerate. She didn't want to bother his mother and grandfather, so she just gathered together in one place.

No wonder there were no other classmates in the school except Yuka and the others after school - although of course he didn't pay much attention to this.

Kagome didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She didn't hide. She put away her good mood and walked in. By the way, she kindly reminded Sota and pointed in the direction of the torii, "I just got out of school, Sota. Maybe someone will come. Be careful not to be discovered if you hide here."

Uh!

Sota shuddered, his expression panicked.

"Puff." Kagome laughed, "I'm kidding, almost all the students in our class are inside."

"Brother!"

Kagome ran away, leaving Sota's roar behind.

The girls facing the worship hall were attracted by Sota's voice. They turned their heads when they heard the voice and became agitated when they saw who was coming.

"Higurashi-san--"

"It's Higurashi-kun! So he just got home?"

"That's just right!"

"Ahem, hey, don't get too excited, pay attention to the impression, be polite."

"Oh, yes, ahem, hello Higurashi-san!"

Kagome swallowed her saliva, and her courage that had risen fell again under the excited eyes of a group of people.

"... Hello." He greeted stiffly, trying to maintain a natural and relaxed posture.

The girls held their breath. Although there were many people, Kagome roughly counted them and found that almost all the students in the class were there.

However, no one did anything too excessive. They stood there honestly, and even didn't touch the building with their hands. When Kagome looked over, they subconsciously stood at attention.

Too, too serious.

Kagome laughed dryly, "Um, you..."

"Yes!" The girls pricked up their ears, their eyes sparkling.

Uh... Kagome choked, and waved her hand helplessly for a long time, and said in a compromised manner, "Come here."

As if they had received some approval, the girls looked at each other, walked to Kagome in small steps, and surrounded her one meter away from him.

Standing in front of the worship hall, Higurashi's mother and grandfather couldn't help but put their fists to their lips and looked straight over. Kagome gave them a helpless look, and Higurashi's mother immediately received it, smiled knowingly, patted Grandpa's shoulder, and said something to push and coax him, and then let Grandpa follow her away.

Retracting her gaze, Kagome lowered her head and vaguely found that she was actually quite high.

After a moment of drifting away, he quickly came back to his senses and said to the girls who were whispering to each other, "Just say whatever you want to say."

After a pause, Kagome added, "I met Yuka and the others on the way, so... I know everything."

I remember Yuka said that his classmates were afraid of his coldness and didn't dare to approach him. Kagome half-closed her eyes and had nowhere to complain. The word coldness can really be used to describe him... I never thought about it.

The girls' subtle chattering stopped, and they were as quiet as quails.

Kagome:? ? Where is the courage to run to his house?

Holding her forehead, Kagome rubbed her temples, "Don't be afraid, I don't mean to blame you."

"About asking about my family... It's okay, you can ask me directly if you have any questions. I am happy to make friends with everyone. As for Yuka and the others... They just helped me deliver textbooks once, please don't make things difficult for them."

"I am also very happy that you come to my shrine to worship, but I hope you come to pray for the gods, not to come to see me... Do you understand?"

Kagome's tone slowed down. This should be very clear, and everything that should be explained has been explained.

I am very willing to make friends. There is no need to treat him specially. He is just an ordinary person. You don't have to run to the shrine just to get close to him... Kagome counted them in her mind and nodded with satisfaction.

She lowered her eyes and looked at her classmates.

This look...

Huh? Kagome was startled and her body shook.

Under his eyes, the girls trembled, staring at their toes and dared not look up.

Eh? ?

Kagome was even more panicked than the girls at this moment.

He was just talking normally! He wasn't being mean to them!
