Protagonist:
Zang Ye
The Modern Era where Kagome is, the Twenty-first Century.
Higurashi Shrine.
In the room, Inuyasha, Kagome, and Kagome's family are gathered together eating dinner.
The dishes on the table are very sumptuous; looking at the steaming hot dishes being served up, Inuyasha's eyes light up, and he exclaims:
"Wow..."
"Looks like the taste is not bad!"
Kagome's Grandpa: "Kagome, so you're saying you traveled to the Feudal Era five hundred years ago, met this Inuyasha, and also that person called Zang Ye."
"Truly worthy of being Grandpa's granddaughter, actually able to travel to the Feudal Era and even make friends with the people over there."
Sota: "It's truly wonderful, actually traveling to the Feudal Era five hundred years ago, I want to go too!"
Kagome: "What's so good about it, it's too dangerous there, I really don't want to go back to that place."
Thinking of some experiences from recent days, even though a day has passed, Kagome still has lingering fear.
Inuyasha: "That won't do, the Shikon Jewel must be found."
"Also, that stinky half-demon brat Zang Ye, the things he asked you to buy, you wouldn't not want to bring them back for him, would you!?"
Speaking of these things, Kagome chuckles and waves her hands repeatedly, "Don't worry, what I promised I'll definitely do."
"However, I don't have time right now, I still have to go back to school to study, after all I'm about to take the college entrance exams, so of course studies are more important."
Inuyasha with a puzzled face: "School study?"
"What is that thing!?"
Kagome says somewhat helplessly, "It's literacy, reading books!"
"Don't understand!" Inuyasha says indifferently.
Kagome's face darkens: "You really are..."
At this time, Kagome's mother brings the last dish: "We can start eating."
Sota: "Dinner time!"
Then the family eats lively and bustling.
Feudal Era, beside the Bone-Eater's Well, Zang Ye boredly yawns, looking at the moon in the air, mutters: "Looks like Kagome won't be coming over for now, she went back.."
In a blink, three days pass.
In the supermarket, Kagome holds Zang Ye's two pages of paper, looking at them.
Beside her, the shopping cart Inuyasha is pushing is already crammed full of items.
"How much more stuff is there!!" Inuyasha says impatiently.
To him, this kind of shopping is simply more tiring than fighting yokai.
Kagome looks at the words on the paper, replies: "Almost done, just the last one."
"Fashion Magazine!?"
"Look at legs, look at chest!??"
Kagome sees the note at the back, corner of her mouth twitches slightly, "That guy Zang Ye!?"
"Truly incorrigible!!"
Inuyasha with a puzzled face, "What Fashion Magazine!?"
Kagome glances at Inuyasha, doesn't answer.
Angry in her heart, keeps walking forward.
Suddenly, inspiration strikes, she runs to the book section, picks up a High School Math Textbook.
Walks a few steps, thinks again, maybe not so good, then from inside picks up a "Case Closed" book, throws it into Inuyasha's shopping cart.
"Alright, let's go back!?" Kagome claps her hands, looking like mission accomplished.
Inuyasha breathes a sigh of relief, "Finally no more."
The two return to Higurashi Shrine.
Carrying large and small bags, three or four bags of stuff nearly as tall as a person.
Kagome's Grandpa: "Kagome, be careful on the road..."
Younger brother Sota: "Elder Sister, do your best, come back and tell me what you encountered over there!?"
Kagome's Mom: "Take care! Don't lose your temper randomly over there."
Kagome, seen off by her family, jumps down the Bone-Eater's Well together with Inuyasha.
At this moment, the Bone-Eater's Well lights up with a ray of light.
Inuyasha, Kagome disappear inside the Bone-Eater's Well.
Kagome's Grandpa: "Truly wonderful, actually disappeared."
Sota: "Yeah, so wonderful!"
Kagome's Mom: "Hope over there, you can get along well with Inuyasha and them."
………………Divider………………
Feudal Era.
The Bone-Eater's Well lights up with a ray of light.
Zang Ye, who had waited a long time, perked up. "Finally!"
A moment later, Kagome and Inuyasha came out of the Bone-Eater's Well.
"Kagome, how was it?"
"Did those things of mine sell for a high price?" Zang Ye looked at the bundles, asking excitedly.
Kagome rolled her eyes at Zang Ye, hands on her hips, saying, "What seventy-thirty split of the loot? Apart from one or two items worth something, everything else is useless!! I had to make up the difference with money from home."
"How is that possible? This is the Feudal Era; take them over to your side, they're at least antiques, right!?" Zang Ye looked disbelieving.
"Kagome said it right, only one or two things are useful, the rest were thrown away as trash," Inuyasha replied.
Hearing Inuyasha say that, Zang Ye basically confirmed Kagome wasn't lying, "No way!?"
"Heh heh~"
"Miss Gou Wei, you've really gone to a lot of trouble."
Zang Ye immediately switched to a fawning expression, massaging Kagome's shoulders.
"Get lost!"
"Hurry up and carry the stuff, this whole trip has been exhausting." Seeing Zang Ye's behavior, Kagome felt a little satisfied inside, directing Zang Ye to carry the things.
Zang Ye didn't mind, carrying his own bundle and leaving, leaving the rest for Inuyasha to carry.
Fortunately, Inuyasha didn't seem to mind, as if used to carrying things, following behind Kagome.
Not long after, the group returned to Kaede's home.
Seeing bandages on Kaede's arm, Kagome hurried forward to ask with concern, "Kaede, what happened to you!?"
"How did you get hurt so badly!?"
Inuyasha: "Yeah, Old Lady Kaede, it looks like you were attacked by a yokai."
Kaede raised her head, saw Zang Ye's group, and sighed, "After you left, a yokai that controls hair came to the village; to avoid hurting the villagers, I ended up like this."
"Fortunately, Zang Ye and Nifa Jieluo dealt with that yokai."
At that moment, Nifa Jieluo walked out from inside, bowing politely, "You are Inuyasha and Miss Gou Wei that Lord Zang Ye spoke of, right?"
"Hello! I am Nifa Jieluo."
"Hello!" Kagome was surprised by Nifa Jieluo's politeness and beauty, but still returned the bow in time.
Inuyasha frowned, saying, "You, this guy, are also a yokai, right."
Seeing Inuyasha looking ready to cause trouble, Zang Ye stepped forward, placing a hand on Inuyasha's shoulder, "Don't worry, Inuyasha."
"Although Jieluo is a yokai, she's a good yokai, has no interest in the Shikon Jewel, she's one of us."
"Is that so?"
Inuyasha looked suspicious, saying, "If I find out she has ill intentions toward the Shikon Jewel, I won't let her off."
"All right! All right!"
"Jieluo's demon rank is guaranteed."
Zang Ye persuaded.
