Rai followed Kagome through the Bone-Eating Well, and together they went to the modern city five hundred years later. Arriving alone in this strange but familiar place, Rai temporarily stayed in Higurashi under Kagome's warm invitation.

In the shrine.

Rai took out some greeting gifts and visited Kagome's family - the gentle mother Higurashi, Grandpa Higurashi who is still energetic, Kagome's younger brother Souta who is still in elementary school, and their domestic cat Xiaopang

.

"What a lovely child."

Regarding Rai's origin, Higurashi's mother didn't ask anything. She just said enthusiastically: "It doesn't matter how long you want to stay here, Rai."

"Thank you, Auntie."

Facing Rai's crooked smile, Souta shyly hid behind his grandfather.

The chubby boy didn't notice anything, he moved his plump body and placed a new nest directly on Rai's legs.

"...a shrine maiden from the Warring States Period."

Looking at Rai's red and white miko costume that had not yet faded off, Grandpa Higurashi's expression was incomprehensible.

Since Inuyasha always visited unexpectedly in the past, the Higurashi family was used to Kagome bringing someone back from the world on the other side of the well, let alone a young, beautiful and polite girl like Rai.

Rai gets along well with everyone due to his eloquent skills, so when an outsider suddenly lives in the Higurashi family, the atmosphere is not awkward at all.

After dinner, Higurashi's mother smiled and pushed Rai to Kagome who wanted to go into the kitchen to help clean up, and said: "I have put the hot water in the bathroom, Kagome, you take Rai to wash it first

."

They are all girls of the same age, so it doesn't matter if they take a bath together. The bathtub in Kagome's house is not big, but if two slender girls go in and take a bath together, it is not crowded.

During this period, Kagome secretly glanced at the swollen area of ​​the girl next to her with her peripheral vision...it was so big.

It's white and big... When you bump it, it's very soft and elastic... The shape is also very beautiful, milky white, with a little pink... It looks like a peach with too much juice...

Even Kagome, who is also a woman, couldn't help but blush at this moment.

"...Kagome?"

"--Uh-huh?!"

Kagome, who realized what terrible things she was thinking, was startled by the girl's cry. However, the girl's next words made Kagome feel dizzy and explosive.

"Let me rub your back."

Rai moved closer to Kagome.

Kagome had no choice but to retreat, and she saw helplessly that the girl's two balls were squeezed together with hers...it was really soft, Kagome subconsciously touched her hand, and then met Rai's teasing...

Kagome reacted immediately and moved her hand away as if she had hit a hot potato.

"Kagome has been secretly staring at my breasts."

In the enclosed space where the heat was rising, dewdrops dripped from Rai's crow-feathered eyelashes, and her steamy cat eyes showed innocence, but the words she spoke were so wild, like a cat born with charming magic.

Monster, a meow can make a person lose all reason.

"If it's Kagome, you can watch it openly."

Kagome couldn't help but cover her face, "——Don't, don't say such strange things!!"

After a while, Kagome walked out of the bathroom wearing pajamas and flushed cheeks.

"...Sister, are you sick? Your face is so red." Higurashi Souta asked in confusion.

"No, the water is too hot."

Kagome walked into her room quickly, as if she was hiding something.

Rai followed Kagome, smiled and touched Souta's head. After saying good night to him, he also entered Kagome's room and closed the door.

When it was time to go to bed, Rai and Kagome were lying on the same bed. Looking at Kagome who was close to the wall with a big gap between her and her, Rai said helplessly: "Kagome, you are so far away from me.

...Do you hate me?"

"It's not..."

It is said that the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is. Now Kagome, who is also a woman, has experienced it firsthand.

Kagome was defeated. She blushed and moved her body a little closer to Rai. The quilt was pulled under her eyes. Kagome's eyes were a little shy and she did not dare to look directly at Rai.

"I'm just a little nervous."

"real

I envy Inuyasha."

Rai looked at Kagome who was as shy as a rabbit and smiled.

"Um?"

"Because he has a lovely girlfriend like Kagome."

As soon as she mentioned her sweetheart, the temperature on Kagome's face heated up rapidly, "We are not..."

Originally, Kagome wanted to deny this relationship, but when she thought about it carefully, she and Inuyasha had actually already established a relationship, but...

"——When we get along, we are no different from normal friends."

When this was mentioned, Kagome felt a little disappointed. She actually wanted to do some blushing and heart-pounding little gestures between lovers with Inuyasha, such as holding hands, hugging, kissing, etc., but she usually just did it with Shippo Coral.

They move together, Inuyasha is also a dead-head with no romantic instincts, and what happened with Kikyo Naraku... As a result, after the two of them started dating, their daily interactions were basically the same as before.

At the age of girlish feelings, who doesn’t want his lover to pamper him a little more?

Sometimes, Kagome wants to get closer to InuYasha but is too shy to express it. It is impossible to expect InuYasha to take the initiative. It would be enough if he just angers her to death without being awkward.

As time went by, Kagome almost forgot that she and Inuyasha were already in a loving relationship. For a while, she even wondered if it was because of her lack of feminine charm...

——Kagome's thoughts are clearly written on her face. Although Rai can't see through them at a glance, he can guess at a lot.

"I mean - Kagome has no hesitation in choosing Inuyasha. This courage is also a kind of luck for Inuyasha."

Rai said slowly: "Because Kagome is not from the Warring States Period. If you want to be with a monster, from Kagome's perspective, there are really too many things that need to be sacrificed..."

For example, family, friends, all social identities and conveniences enjoyed in this world in this era, all of these may stand opposite to the love Kagome chooses in the future, and she can only choose one of the two...

"Even so, Kagome still has an optimistic and positive attitude towards the future of you and Inuyasha."

Rai smiled and said: "Compared to the brave Kagome, Inuyasha is much timid in handling emotions."

Kagome, "...Why do you say that?"

"Because of what I just said, I believe Inuyasha can only think of more than me. After seeing the world that Kagome has lived in since she was a child, it is normal to be confused and hesitant. Inuyasha is probably afraid of that

Kagome chose him, but he couldn't make Kagome feel happy in the future."

Because I'm not confident enough, I don't dare to express my love boldly. I can only be jealous of the girl I like and other people, either openly or covertly.

Rai thought it was funny when he thought about it, "Every time I get too close to you, Inuyasha always blushes. Most of the time, his eyes are focused on you, Kagome... anyone can see that.

, you like each other very much, but you dare not express it directly."

What Rai gave was an angle that Kagome had never thought of. It is quite unbelievable to think that Inuyasha, who usually speaks outright, could be so indecisive in his heart, but... it seems to make some sense.

"Did I also put pressure on Inuyasha?"

Kagome began to think.

"Isn't that natural?"

Rai chuckled, "Isn't it normal for an outstanding girl like Kagome to feel a sense of crisis?"

I was praised again.

Kagome's face continued to blush, but her mood relaxed unconsciously during the exchange, and the area on her chest felt warm at this moment.

"…Thank you, Ley."

Kagome heard the affirmation and encouragement for her in Rai's words, and couldn't help but smile: "I'm also very envious - the person who can fall in love with Rai in the future must be the luckiest person."

The two girls chatted and started complimenting each other.

"I am indeed very lucky."

Rai first affirmed his own charm, then thought of the special bug superimposed on him, and began to roll his eyes guiltily, "...But in some ways, it's probably unfortunate."

Kagome looked confused.

Rai smiled and didn't say the reason, just blinked, "Let the 'him' in my life worry about this problem."

"Did he show up?"

Kagome asked herself and gave an answer first, "Could it be Sesshomaru?"

Seeing the light of gossip igniting in Kagome's eyes, Rai rarely fell silent.

Kagome has a delicate mind, and it is not difficult to find out from some details that others choose to ignore - the relationship between Rai and Sesshomaru is very special.

Taking this opportunity, Kagome could finally ask the rightful owner to satisfy her curiosity.

Oops, too bad, the topic has taken a somewhat difficult direction...

Rai's eyes were wandering, not daring to meet Kagome's eager gaze, "Why did you suddenly mention him?"
To be continued...
