Hanyo of Snow (Inuyasha harem x Male Reader)

Ch56: Ruminations of Four

(Inuko POV - Edge of Tatsu's village - Late at Night)

I waited against a tree that reeked of omukade, supposedly there had been one impaled on the tree before it was taken down. Staring down smoldering remains of Mittsume Jōrō and the numerous carcasses of Shibugarasu. 

That was quite a sight to see and they wanted to get rid most of the bodies quickly. With Yura's hairs it was easy enough, of course they were going to take care of what remained of the bandit bodies tomorrow.

Currently I was keeping an eye on the bodies incase any of those accursed birds come back. Already had to cut up some flying towards the pile.

Of course it was only temporary, I also used the chance to scrounge around for any trace of who Yotsume was working for. But not even the barest trace of a scent.

Should have known from when I got my mother's beni back, they were clearly capable of masking their scent and presence. Just another damned reason to keep our eyes open as well from now on.

Speaking of which.

"I take it they finally settled down." I said, looking down on another branch to see Yura perched on one of them while Myōga jumped onto my shoulder.

"Kit took the longest to sleep, taken to clinging to the side of master's neck." Yura said, getting me to nod as Myōga jumped off my shoulder.

Y/N, Kagome, and Shippō were camping out in the ruins of one of the homes. Granted a good swath of the village was destroyed, but according to the villagers it was alright considering no one died and what was damaged was better than the omukade brood devastated it.

Although some were pretty banged up, not only from defending the village. Seemed like the toothless maggot had sent a few Shibugarasu in the way of where the evacuated.

Nothing fatal but it will probably take a while for them to heal.

Y/N hide his scales behind his scarf for the most part and took some work to clear up the remains to burn them before calling it a night. Pretty much done with everything considering the day I heard they had.

But he and Kagome did share a few details of what they learned and the plan going forward.

Going to help out a bit tomorrow before leaving, stopping near the foothills of the mountains before crossing them into the next town and a straight shot back to Kikyō's village and to their era.

Something that I have no qualms with, been a long enough past few days...

"Still no trace of who was behind the three eyed wrench and damned owl?" Yura said, breaking me from my thoughts.

"No, whoever did it is capable of masking their scent. Only possible clue was that voice Y/N heard with Zero, but no way to go on with that." I growled out as I turned to Myōga. "Do you know anything about this?"

Learning about her was nothing new, someone with yet another connection to my father is after my head. The only difference is she is Kirinmaru's older sister and another example of my father's shitty love life.

"If there was such a thing I would have known over these past 200 years at least. What I do know is that she has had an attendant for centuries, he was probably the same one. If they are one and the same who has the Midori Pearl, I have no clue. With how secretive they are, it is someone who holds the upmost trust between Lord Kirinmaru and Lady Zero." Myōga said while shaking his head. "I would also advise not to order me to try and gain word from Hōsenkei of their description Lady Inuko."

"Why not?" I growled out.

"A case Hōsenkei himself made to Lord Tōga, to never reveal his clients and to never make an item that could be used against your father. He was a jewel crafter by trade and strong enough to make most thieves regret trying to steal his works. Considering it was to rebuild Lady Izayoi's beni, along with they could have used a different servant to pick it up than the Midori Pearl's keeper." Myōga said, getting me to growl.
