196 5.85 Unexpected Kiss And The Start Of The Wonder 8s Adventure. (1/2)
”How did the little expedition go? Are you guys hungry?” Kikyo asked when we returned back from the northern gate and headed to the meal area within my compound.
”Hahaha... Inuyasha did it successfully when at first he saw the demonic aura in front of Shippo while he was wielding the Akai Hane. But through his naked eyes, he won't be able to see it but could only feel demonic aura or threat. However, when Shippo ran away, the Akai Hane just became like a normal blade, no matter how much yoki energy was transferred into it.”
”Himura drew his Kodachi when I mentioned about what if I happen to meet someone who aims a sacred arrow at me. I think it gave Himura an idea and when he withdrew his Kodachi, he asked me to withdrew mine too.”
”His Kodachi was flared with flames first, while the moment I took mine out and faced him, it took similar properties like a mirror image. I only inserted my Sangon Tesso once into the Kodachi and able to spew out multiple attacks on a target Himura asked me to hit...! ”
”Yeah... And I thought earlier that Inuyasha is going to kill me when his Akai Hane suddenly burst into flames right before me. The memories were like Hiten when he used the Lightning Bolt Attack and Manten that uses a kind of flames or attack directly from his mouth...! Huuaaaaa..... ”
I patted Shippo's head on remembering how his father had died in the hands of Thunder Brothers. It was cruel and injustice as Shippo's father, even as a fox demon, is still anon-combatant youkai.
”Well, it seems that Inuyasha has now a weapon in his hands that makes him equal. He doesn't even need to go so bear to actually tear that youkai apart. But I wonder how come the Kodachi was made to be wielded only to a kind and gentle-hearted person?”
Sango asked about the characteristics of the Kodachi that I had forged. I explained to him that this is to remind him that his Kodachi would be used to protect humans and thus making him more humane and filled with compassion.
Unlike others, who could easily wield their weapons for destruction, Inuyasha is only able to wield his Kodachi for protection. It is similar to mine, I am not able to hurt another human or animal except for that youkai.
A seller was pushing his wares and seeing them interested in the food he was selling, I called him over and he was selling Senbei, a prawn flavoured crackers. I ordered a few portions and paid and shared it with everyone.

Hiko-sama was sitting with his jar of yumeshu under his arm and does not wish to partake with the supper but when a seller came by selling yakiniku, he asked for several rounds to be shared with others.
”Sensei, is there a matter that you need to talk to me? You seemed rather forlorn. Don't worry, we are just heading to Tochigi Prefecture to these two villages and then we would be back again.”
”Nah... I'm not worried, kid. Nothing of that sort at all. It's just that you had been around for these past 3 months and then you took off like a little bird who had just had the ability to fly, leaving its nest and returns to it occasionally. Heh... Little bird, go with your friends and never forget who you are and where you come from.”
I knew Hiko-sama was rather sad at seeing me leave with my new found friends and thought that I would have forgotten what I had done for him as well as turning this sleepy village into a bustling little town soon.
I can feel his sadness and even though he tries to hide it with his permanently frowned look on his face, his body language shows it all.
”Here, kid...! Have a cup of yumeshu.”
I reached for the cup and we both cheered ”Kanpai...!” much to the surprise of Kohaku that I could drink yumeshu at a young age.
+-==The next following morning==-+
Since I had packed my gear much earlier and also had stowed away 35 gold and 50 silver coins for our journey ahead, the rest of the team were busy readying themselves too as they would be heading out the next following morning.
Izumi who heard me going away decided to spend the morning with me instead, rather than extending her rest so she would be fully refreshed to start he shift later on in the afternoon.
”Senpai, how many days would you be gone? Would you be back here after your expedition? I heard that you would be joining them to exterminate the youkai that hadbeen terrorising the town folks which affected their livelihood.”
”Yes, Izumi... I won't be gone for a long period of time. I still have to return here and help up to boost the economy and make sure that everything runs smoothly. The journey would
take about 2 days from tomorrow to reach that District and we would have enough food to travel on these 2 days.”
”I am going to miss you, Senpai. I wish I could spend more time with you and keep you company. I errr..... *ahem* never mind, let the thoughts be in my mind and await for your safe return.”
”*ahem*, you could let me know if you wish to right now. I had done the packing and the only thing to pack is some raw food and maybe a small pot and a kettle to boil some hot tea along the way.”
”You had done so much for us and this little town. We really appreciate what you had done for us since the first time we made our acquaintance. I will always cherish the moments that I had with you and Hiko-sama.”
”Eeehhh... I won't be gone too long, you know. I would be at least gone for a week and then I'd be back here again. Don't worry, I never forget where I come from, I always think about the humble beginnings.”
”Alright then Senpai, don't forget to come and see me before you go ok. You would be going in the morning I suppose? Drop by here before you you leave...”
With that, she turned and left while I smiled at her. She threw her hair back and looked beyond her shoulder at me and waved her dainty little hands. Ah... A girl whom we had saved from ill-treatment just because if her past. And she and her group had matured quickly and bore more responsibilities as Plant Managers.
Fei and little Kaede came to me afterwards showing a bundle of cloth that they carried. They opened it up and showed all kind of plants and roots which I had never seen before and told me that these plants were good for this and these herbs are good for that.
