"Ugh... why did it turn out like this?"
Sitting on the rooftop, leaning against the wall, Kagome looked hopeless.
Accidentally getting drunk last night was one thing...
She thought she was already late today and had thought up various excuses to cope.
But who could tell her why she woke up to find herself sitting in the classroom?
Her brain was blank at the time...
But after regaining her body, she realized this wasn't an illusion or a dream.
It was an actual existing fact...
After talking with "another me," Kagome finally understood.
Kikyo's soul had revived in her body...
Or rather, two people now co-existed in one body.
Realizing this might be caused by Rin's wish yesterday, Kagome didn't know how to explain her complex feelings for a moment.
Kikyo's phantom stood aside, looking into the distance from the high place.
The scenery, living customs, and methods here were completely different from ancient times.
"Ahh... I understand the situation."
Looking at Kikyo's back, Kagome stood up and sighed, finally accepting this fact.
Although she didn't really want this, it had already happened, and she couldn't be bothered to complain.
"Please take care of me from now on, Kikyo."
Extending her hand, Kagome spoke seriously.
She didn't know if finding Kikyo was included in Rin's subconscious or Inuyasha's thought, but she couldn't leave the current Kikyo alone.
Since she was in her body, they could only get along well.
At least in this situation, she wasn't some unreasonable woman.
And knowing Kikyo existed in an alternative form, Inuyasha and everyone else should be happy.
Thinking of Inuyasha's look when getting the news, for some reason Kagome felt a bit "unhappy."
That guy... would be overjoyed, right?
'Hmm... decided. Hide it from him for a while, only tell Miroku, Sango, and Grandma Kaede.'
Thinking so "spitefully," she got angry at Inuyasha.
Definitely couldn't let that guy gloat easily, otherwise he'd get off too cheap.
......
"Ohhh, did I get a bit too much?"
Returning to her world, Moroha scratched her head hesitantly, carrying a large bag of treasures.
Although she didn't say goodbye to her drunk mom, it didn't matter much.
Before leaving, she specially went to Grandpa's house to ask for some things.
Rare treasures...
She told the Great Dog Demon with that intention, and he let her go rummage.
In the end, she packed such a big bag that it was a struggle to carry.
Until leaving, she faintly remembered Grandma's "resentful" gaze.
"Well, brought stuff for Towa and Setsuna anyway."
"Set for life now, yay!"
"Grandpa even left me some extra youki. If I meet Kirinmaru again, I'll let Grandpa beat him up personally! Hehe!"
In a very good mood, the experiences in the past made her feel deeply connected.
"Doo doo..."
Cheeks puffed, whistling, she slowly walked towards Kaede's village.
Little did she know, in other places, "changes" had already occurred.
"Inuyasha, you mean a mysterious force suddenly sent you back to this world?"
Grandma Kaede looked at the two she hadn't seen for a long time, speaking with some emotion.
"Yeah, Kagome and I are still wondering."
"Who was it exactly?"
Scratching his head, Inuyasha and Kagome sat by the bonfire, unclear of the reason.
They stayed at the Great Dog Demon's grave for over ten years, then were suddenly sent back.
"Doesn't feel like the Black Pearl's power..."
Kagome hesitated, unable to figure it out no matter what.
"Is that so? Actually, Sesshomaru came here yesterday."
"Sesshomaru?"
"He came to pick up Rin, Towa, and Setsuna..."
Thinking of the scene yesterday, Kaede was also confused.
"Jaken only said Kirinmaru suddenly took people back to the East, don't know what they are thinking."
"But the only certainty is, the farce has subsided. Someone did it without us knowing."
Speaking of the culprit stirring up trouble now, Kaede continued.
"Someone who made both Sesshomaru and Kirinmaru settle down?"
"Heh, if there is one, I'd really like to meet them."
Inuyasha didn't think Sesshomaru was the type to listen obediently. Conversely, how could Kirinmaru with his stubborn attitude give up easily?
"Hey! Towa! Setsuna!"
"I'm back!!"
But then, the sound from outside stunned the three in the house.
"This voice..."
Grandma Kaede reacted immediately. Inuyasha and Kagome stood up and ran out instantly.
"Eh... why are Dad and Mom here?"
Carrying the huge bag, Moroha saw the two rushing out immediately.
She seemed to react a bit slowly to why her parents appeared here.
"Moroha..."
"Moroha!!"
Compared to Inuyasha's frozen look, Kagome had already excitedly hugged her.
She recognized at a glance that this was her child.
"Uh... hugging a bit too tight, Mom."
Unable to help putting the bag on the ground, Moroha felt like suffocating.
"Sorry, just a bit too excited."
"But, you seem very healthy."
"By the way, I was planning to find a way to get the Black Pearl to find you guys, turns out no need."
Scratching her head, Moroha realized somewhat.
Must be Shenron "at work"...
Otherwise, there was no reason for parents who stayed in the grave forever to suddenly appear here.
"You know about the Black Pearl?"
"Yeah, past parents told me."
Inuyasha just asked the first sentence, and Moroha's comeback left him and Kagome speechless.
"What did you say? Moroha?"
The joy of reunion faded temporarily, replaced by astonishment at Moroha's shocking content.
"Hehe, I went to the past era before and met the past you and Dad."
"So I know everything."
Hands on hips, Moroha explained proudly.
But the next moment, the hand touching her forehead left her speechless.
"No fever..."
"I really know everything!"
"Mom is from the world 500 years later, and the person Dad liked initially was Mother Kikyo!"
"Hey! Stop talking!"
Rushing forward to cover Moroha's mouth, Inuyasha was sweating profusely in fright.
He believed it, okay?! Believed it!
Just don't talk about the past like that...
Fortunately, Kagome was currently in a state of surprise and didn't care about anything else.
"Moroha, what exactly happened to you? Can you tell us?"
Prying Inuyasha's hand off Moroha's mouth, Kagome asked seriously.
In a place they didn't know, Moroha seemed to have experienced something incredible.
"Uh... okay, where start?"
"Let's start from the other Mom."
"Hey! Moroha, stop messing around!"
"I'm serious, Dad."
PS:
Headache, suddenly don't know who to choose for the next world's Saber. So many holding swords and blades, but just can't pick a suitable one?
