Chapter 209: Act like no one else
"What about you? Where have you been in the past three days?"
Sesshomaru asked, which was what he wanted to know most after the initial surprise of seeing Natsume.
"It's hard to explain in words."
Natsume sighed, but did not answer immediately. It was not that he did not want to tell Sesshomaru, but that the time was not right at this time.
It was said that he completely ignored the others, but Natsume's reason was still there after all. He knew where this place was, and he also understood that this was not a good place to chat.
Sesshomaru could see Natsume's concerns right away. His cold eyes glanced at Inuyasha and the others, then turned to look at Natsume: "Let's go out." "Yeah." Natsume nodded. He didn't want to stay
any longer
.
Here we are, the scenery here is not very good to begin with, especially since this is the cemetery of General Inu!
After staying in Soul Society for such a long time, Natsume longed for a lively place!
One person and one demon here had made a decision, but before they even took a step forward, they heard a voice stopping them.
"Wait a minute!"
"Natsume!"
It was InuYasha who shouted first, and the target of his shouting was naturally Sesshomaru: "You
came in here for no reason, are you going to leave now without giving me an explanation?"
InuYasha said . Tie Suiyang pulled out and stared at Sesshomaru eagerly. This feeling of being thrown away after using it made him very unhappy, so naturally he didn't want to let Sesshomaru go so easily.
"Hmph, can you, a half-demon, keep me, Sesshomaru?" The
calmed down Sesshomaru is not the one who just fell into chaos. Not only does his voice sound a little colder, but the demonic power around him is also stronger. It solidified a bit.
Against Sesshomaru in his prime, Inuyasha was indeed no match, but he himself did not have this awareness.
"I can't kill you?"
Sesshomaru looked at him with cold and contemptuous eyes. Inuyasha was so angry that he stood up with fury all over his body. He spoke even more without scruples: "Don't forget
who almost died just now. Under my sword, if this human had not saved your life, you would be in the underworld now!" Being underestimated by the
half-demon he had never paid attention to, the demonic aura around Sesshomaru seemed to be boiling. , the leaked demonic energy even formed a small whirlpool around him, and all the sand and stones on the ground were rolled up, hovering in mid-air.
"You have to wait for me, Takashi."
Sesshomaru looked directly at Inuyasha, but he said to Natsume:
"Wait until I kill this half-demon before going out."
Sesshomaru put his hand on Muramasa's The scabbard was obviously serious.
Seeing that the two brothers were about to start their second battle, the atmosphere was very tense.
Unfortunately, except for these two brothers, no one else wanted to see them fight again, so the two humans present took action at the same time.
"Don't be impulsive, Sesshomaru, it's not worth wasting time on Inuyasha."
Natsume put his hand on the back of Sesshomaru's hand and whispered in his ear, but this persuasion sounded too condescending. If Inuyasha heard it, it would definitely add fuel to the fire.
Although Natsume didn't speak loudly, don't forget that Inuyasha is a half-demon and has absolutely sharp ears and eyes, so it is still easy to hear clearly.
However, Inuyasha didn't just come over with the knife, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.
"Sit down!"
The clear girl's voice was actually quite nice, but to Inuyasha's ears it was completely different. He was pressed hard to the ground by the power of the spell and couldn't move, except for trying to use his eyes. Apart from killing Sesshomaru and Natsume, nothing else could be done.
——After
taking care of the disobedient Inuyasha, Higurashi Kagome slowly walked towards Natsume, her eyes full of complicated emotions: "Don't
leave yet, Natsume."
Higurashi Kagome blocked Natsume and Sesshomaru's path to prevent them from leaving:
"I still have many questions to ask you."
Yes, Higurashi Kagome did have a lot of doubts that she wanted Natsume to answer. She felt that she would be suffocated to death if she didn't ask questions clearly, so even if Sesshomaru was beside her, she kept The ground was releasing cold air on herself, but she still endured the physical and mental discomfort and refused to give in.
"Let's talk about it later when we get back."
Unfortunately, even though the expectation in Higurashi Kagome's eyes was so deep, Natsume still shook his head and refused. Higurashi Kagome is indeed one of his best friends in modern times, but who can compare with him? , in front of Sesshomaru, she was naturally not ranked.
"I have important things to deal with now."
What important thing is to explain to Sesshomaru his so-called three-day whereabouts? The conversation between him and Sesshomaru just now was not behind anyone's back at all, so the smart Higurashi Kagome immediately understood what Natsume was going to do.
This was not considered perfunctory, which made Higurashi Kagome feel uncomfortable, but she was not a messy character, and she could see the seriousness on Natsume's face, and the flash of impatience in his eyes.
So Higurashi Kagome knew that her way of blocking Natsume made him angry.
This was not Higurashi Kagome's original intention at all. She just wanted to find out Natsume's secret, not to lose him as a friend. So after feeling Natsume's negative emotions, Higurashi Kagome panicked and quickly stepped aside. Come on.
Looking at Natsume who nodded to him and was about to leave, Higurashi Kagome finally couldn't help shouting again: "
I'll go back tomorrow, you must contact me!"
Higurashi Kagome had already made a decision in her heart, tomorrow After returning home, I waited for Natsume's call. If he didn't call me, I wouldn't go back to the Warring States period!
The four soul fragments and so on were already forgotten by Kagome Higurashi at this time.
"Don't go back, Kagome!"
Inuyasha was angry, but unfortunately Higurashi Kagome didn't pay attention to his anger at all. She just looked at Natsume steadily, waiting stubbornly for his answer.
——
"Okay."
Natsume nodded in agreement with almost no hesitation. Before entering here, he had already expected to see Higurashi Kagome, and he indeed owed her an explanation, if not tomorrow it would be one day in the future.
Natsume, who was looking at Higurashi Kagome, didn't notice that after he nodded without hesitation, Sesshomaru's eyes flashed sharply beside him, and the look that flashed there was definitely not a kind look.
What Natsume didn't even notice was that when he took the lead to go out from the exit, Sesshomaru, who was one step behind, suddenly turned back and glanced at Higurashi Kagome. The coldness in his eyes made Higurashi Kagome, a very courageous girl, freeze up. , couldn't help but take a step back.
Chapter 210 Strange eyes
After coming out of General Inu's graveyard, Sesshomaru and Natsume escaped directly without waiting for InuYasha, the carrier.
And not long after one person and one demon left, poor Xajian also came out of the exit. Looking at the empty woods, tears came down: "You abandoned me again, Sesshomaru SAMA!"
Sesshomaru and Natsume didn't leave too far away, because Sesshomaru couldn't wait too long. He really wanted to know where Natsume had disappeared to in the past few days.
The reason why he wanted to get the answer so much was not only to make himself feel at ease, but also because Sesshomaru noticed something strange about Natsume.
After knowing each other for so many years, it was not that they had never been separated, or to be more precise, they had been separated most of the time.
There were so many times that lasted more than three days that Sesshomaru couldn't even count them. And after so many separations, Sesshomaru had never seen such deep longing in Natsume's eyes. The longing was really too strong. Very unusually thick.
No matter how good the relationship between him and Natsume was, just three days of separation would not make him miss him to such an extent.
Where has he been these past three days? It is impossible for such a serious injury to recover within three days as if he had not been injured at all!
Thinking about the situation between himself and Natsume, Sesshomaru guessed that Natsume might have gone to another world, and it was a world where the time flow rate was very different from this world.
I have to say that Sesshomaru had already guessed the truth almost exactly.
Sesshomaru and Natsume stopped in an open space. At a glance, there were green grass and wild flowers of different colors everywhere. If a more sensitive woman saw this beautiful scenery, she would definitely be moved to tears.
It's a pity that neither Natsume nor Sesshomaru understands romance, and their minds are not on the environment at all at this time, so this beautiful scenery is really in vain.
The reason why Sesshomaru chose this place was not because of the beautiful scenery, but because it was very empty and the conversation between the two would hardly be heard by others.
Sesshomaru had always been open and honest. He didn't think there was anything shameful about his affairs with Natsume, but he didn't want other people or monsters to know about Natsume's private affairs.
Only he can know Natsume's secret.
This is Sesshomaru's overbearing thoughts.
"It was inconvenient for Inuyasha and the others just now, but it doesn't matter now." Just
after he stopped, Natsume told Sesshomaru in detail what happened after he disappeared after being plotted by Naraku without waiting for Sesshomaru to ask.
Instead of concisely highlighting the key points like before, Natsume believed what he said this time, from meeting Gin Ichimaru to entering the Central Spiritual Arts Academy, to becoming a Shinigami, and finally leaving Soul Society and arriving in Hueco Mundo.
Finally, Natsume took out a silver book that Sesshomaru was familiar with, and said with a thankful expression: "Fortunately,
this book was not lost, otherwise Hueco Mundo is so big, I really don't know where to look for it."
He lowered his head . Natsume, who was reading the book, didn't realize that after listening to his words, Sesshomaru's eyes looked at him suddenly a little deeper - even when he lost his soul and was left with only an empty body, Takashi did not forget to protect himself. Book
? Maybe this has become his instinct?
Needless to say, the existence of this book has already explained too many things.
Sesshomaru has never been to Hueco Mundo, but just from Natsume's narration, he can guess how dangerous that world with only killing would be. And in such a dangerous place, Natsume's soulless body still put his own body into it after so many years. The book is well protected!
Just thinking about what this meant, Sesshomaru felt his heart heat up.
——
"What's wrong, Sesshomaru?"
Perhaps it was Sesshomaru's eyes that were too fiery, which quickly caught Natsume's attention.
"Your eyes are so strange."
Natsume even touched his face. He wondered if there was something on his face that made Sesshomaru's eyes look so strange.
"It's okay."
As soon as Natsume opened his mouth, Sesshomaru's eyes instantly returned to their usual look. No matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find the depth and intensity just now. If Natsume hadn't believed in his eyes, he would have even felt that he was delusional just now. .
Although he was convinced that he had read correctly just now, Sesshomaru's attitude clearly showed that he did not want to explain clearly. Natsume paused and finally did not continue to ask.
He respects Sesshomaru's wishes, but he respects them. Knowing that Sesshomaru is hiding something that he doesn't want him to know, Natsume still felt a flash of discomfort in his heart.
Sesshomaru noticed Natsume's momentary mood swing, but he had to pretend that he didn't notice anything. There was no way, even he himself couldn't figure out his true emotions, so how could he explain it to Natsume?
However, the fact that Natsume was unhappy, especially because of himself, still made Sesshomaru very concerned, so he secretly swore in his heart that once he figured out why he had these weird emotions in front of Natsume, he must do it in the first place. Let Natsume know for a moment.
As for now... I can only pretend to be stupid.
——
"Are Soul Society and Hueco Mundo the same place as the underworld?"
In the end, Sesshomaru still adopted a method that he had disdained before and changed the subject.
"Yeah."
He saw Sesshomaru's plan, but Natsume continued to cooperate:
"I don't know why the world after death is also divided into the underworld, Soul Society and Hueco Mundo, but they are indeed similar but different. World."
Natsume looked up at the sky, as if he saw the Soul Society where he once lived through the sky: "Especially Soul Society, it is a completely complete world, and it is no different from being alive."
Sesshomaru could tell that Natsume had no objection to life in the Soul Society, and even accepted it very well.
Sesshomaru suddenly felt a sense of fear in his heart. If Natsume accepted the life there and never came back, would he never see him again?
I didn't even know Soul Society before, I really didn't even have the direction to find it!
Because Sesshomaru's emotional fluctuations were too violent, Natsume noticed it immediately and understood instantly: "Idiot Sesshomaru, how could I possibly do this when you, Tomoe and others are all here? So I can stay in Soul Society with peace of mind and not come back? No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely find a way to come back to see you."
