Protagonist:

Zang Ye

"The Human Face Mask, said to be made from a tree tainted by the aura of a Shikon Jewel Shard, possesses powerful yoki, so our ancestors sealed it away."

"But why did it break the seal today?"

Kagome's grandfather wore a strange expression, unable to understand why something sealed for so long had been fine, yet now started causing trouble.

Inuyasha said solemnly, "No matter the reason, if we don't beat it, it'll make a mess of here."

The Human Face Mask flopped on the ground a few times, then flew up again, emitting a hoarse and unpleasant voice, "Shikon Jewel, give me…"

Kagome's expression changed slightly, and she tightened her grip on the Shikon Jewel Shard in her hand. "So this Human Face Mask is after the Shikon Jewel."

Inuyasha drew Tessaiga and took it seriously.

Against yokai trying to snatch Tessaiga, Inuyasha never goes easy.

"Want to steal the Shikon Jewel Shard? You guy, are you talking in your sleep!"

Inuyasha swung his blade, and though the Human Face Mask was just a face, it was also flexible, and all of Inuyasha's attacks missed.

After dodging a few attacks, the Human Face Mask stopped paying attention to Inuyasha and went straight for Kagome.

"Oh no!"

Inuyasha silently thought it was bad, holding Tessaiga as he chased after it.

Shippo stood in front of Kagome, "Kagome, I'll protect you!"

However, Kagome's grandfather was faster, pulling out a large handful of talismans from somewhere.

"Look at me, talismans passed down from our ancestors!"

"Talismans show their power!"

Kagome's grandfather stood in front of Kagome and threw out a large handful of talismans.

The moment the Human Face Mask touched the talismans, it was bounced back, and there were scorch marks on the Human Face Mask.

Inuyasha naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity, shouting, "Die!"

A flash of blade light, and the Human Face Mask was split in two.

"No…"

The Human Face Mask let out a roar, but had no way at all to stop the destruction of the face.

Finally, the Human Face Mask turned to ash and vanished into the air.

"So amazing!"

Seeing Inuyasha destroy the Human Face Mask, Sota's small face was full of admiration.

"Inuyasha…"

"Haha…"

"With him around, Kagome's safety in the Feudal Era doesn't need too much worry." Seeing Inuyasha destroy the Human Face Mask with one strike, Kagome's grandfather was delighted.

"Old man, you're pretty strong too!" Inuyasha sheathed his blade and said to Kagome's grandfather.

"Haha… really…"

Kagome's grandfather felt a bit embarrassed hearing himself praised.

"Grandpa is also very amazing." Sota nodded.

……………

Afterwards, fire trucks came and successfully extinguished the fire at the Bone-Eater's Well house.

But the Bone-Eater's Well house was already half burned down, and the area around the Bone-Eater's Well was also blackened.

………………Boundary Line………………

Two days later, on the stairs leading to Higurashi Shrine.

A pack of dogs was chasing a young man, making a special sight.

"Save me, Inuyasha!"

"Inuyasha!"

…………

Inuyasha, playing Ninja Turtles video games with Shippo at Kagome's house, twitched his ears.

"Shippo, I think I heard Zang Ye's voice."

Hearing this, Shippo stopped what he was doing, his eyes brightening, "It's his voice."

"He's asking you for help!"

Inuyasha frowned, somewhat confused, did Zang Ye that guy need to ask Big Master for help?

"Hey!"

"Shippo, forget him for now, we'll talk after this round."

Shippo nodded, "Zang Ye is so strong, who could be his opponent."

……………

Outside Higurashi Shrine, Kagome's grandfather saw a pack of stray dogs chasing Zang Ye, showing an expression of disbelief.

Though the stray dogs were chasing Zang Ye, they weren't biting him, but rather following him.

"Wow…"

"Is this training?"

"These dogs are actually this obedient; this young man isn't simple."

"Oh, he seemed to be calling Inuyasha just now."

While Kagome's grandfather was pondering, Zang Ye had already come to his front. "Kagome's grandfather, where is Inuyasha?"

As Zang Ye stopped his footsteps, the pack of dogs behind stopped at a distance of one meter from Zang Ye, surrounding and protecting Zang Ye.

"Woof!"

"Woof woof!"

Although he had some doubts about why the other party would know him, Kagome's grandfather still told Zang Ye, "Inuyasha? He's in the room playing video games with Shippo!"

"What's going on!?"

Kagome's grandfather pointed at a pack of stray dogs and asked.

Zang Ye's mouth corner twitched. "I don't know either; they inexplicably followed along. If not for the fact that they didn't attack this Zang Ye, I would have blasted them away long ago."

Over this matter, Zang Ye was also somewhat troubled.

He could swear he had absolutely never provoked stray dogs.

The time was half an hour ago; Zang Ye passed through the street district and was inexplicably followed by dogs. At first he didn't mind, thinking they were begging food from him, so he even threw a few pieces of bread for them to eat.

As a result, the dogs following him had not the slightest interest in food.

Subsequently, the stray dogs grew more and more numerous in following.

When it reached ten or so, Zang Ye discovered something was off, so he tried to think of ways to shake them off.

Because it was broad daylight, Zang Ye didn't dare run too fast, and so a chase began.

"Oh~"

"So you're Zang Ye!"

Kagome's grandfather understood; turns out he was the Zang Ye who came to this side together with Inuyasha from the Feudal Era.

Zang Ye blanked for a moment, then realized. "Looks like Kagome and Inuyasha have mentioned me before."

Right at this moment, Inuyasha and Shippo opened the door.

Shippo: "So many doggies."

Inuyasha: "How come there are so many dogs here?"

The instant that pack of stray dogs saw Inuyasha, their eyes brightened, and they all ran to Inuyasha's front wagging their tails.

"Woof woof woof!"

"What the hell!?" Inuyasha's complexion changed slightly.

Zang Ye breathed a sigh of relief. "Could it be they smelled Inuyasha's scent from my body!?"

Shippo: "They say you are their king; they've decided to follow you."

Among this pack of stray dogs, a few barked a few times and ran to Zang Ye's front.

"Woof woof woof!!"

Kagome's grandfather said in amazement, "They ran over here again."

"Seems like they've split into camps..."

Zang Ye: "Shippo, if you can understand, then translate — what the hell are they barking about."

Shippo propped his chin: "They say you are the one who is their king; you have the king's scent."

At this time, some of the stray dogs surrounding Inuyasha barked woof woof a few times again.

Shippo: "They say Inuyasha has ears, and also has the king's scent; he is the king."

Hearing Shippo's translation, Zang Ye understood.

The Dog General was a Great Yokai in life, a Yokai King of one side, moreover a hegemon of one side; and as the Dog General's son, Inuyasha naturally possesses his blood, so being supported as king by a dog pack is nothing out of the ordinary.

And he, because he signed in Inuyasha's Half-Demon Blood, fused it.

Naturally he also counts as the Dog General's bloodline; this is why he was supported by the dog pack.
