Hanyo of Snow (Inuyasha harem x Male Reader)

Ch23: The First Strike

(??? POV)

Smiting humans gets boring after awhile, especially when they were encroaching on our territory.

You would think that reducing two entire armies to ashes would send a message, but it seems to have fallen on some deaf ears.

"Sister Hiten!" My little brother Manten called out. "These humans had two pheasants, and the best part is that their uncooked!"

Raw pheasants now that was a good find. Not as good as a Shikon Jewel shard, but still was a good find all the same as there were none in our territory.

Then again our clan hunted them all years ago.

"Toss me one of them!" I shouted and held out my hand to catch the incoming foul.

I grabbed by the neck and immediately took a bite out of its stomach.

How can humans eat these things by cooking them is beyond me. I tried it once and it took me a few days for my stomach ache to fade.

After I got a few more bites, I fired up my feng hou lun and took to the skies with Manten follow suit soon after on his cloud.

There was a certain charm about patrolling your territory with your family after all, especially after the shard came into place.

Seriously one shard falls straight into your head and you have enough power to help drive off anyone who dares approach Raimei Valley.

This was our family's ancestral home after all.

Shame we couldn't bring Sōten with us, too dangerous for her and can't risk her being killed.

Anyway a quick patrol would do quite fine, we already have 5 shards and are in no real hurry to collect anymore at this point. 

Still with another shard for myself I'm sure that I could rival a fully grown raijū in power. Add in the perks from mom's blood and you have yourself a force to be reckoned with.

But I would like to have a patrol over and done with soon anyway, I have someone warming the bed for me back home after all.

As I finished the pheasant, I sensed a small flare of energy. One that I had learned to pick up on after obtaining my second shard.

The signature of a Shikon Jewel shard, and if the feel was of any indication multiple shard.

"Manten do you sense what I'm sensing?" I asked my younger brother as he flew right next to me.

"Of course, I sense two or three shards I think." He said, getting me to nod.

"That's what I thought." I said, trying to pinpoint the location of the shards.

"Didn't expect to encounter anyone else hunting the jewel shards so soon. Do you think that it is the composite yokai we've been hearing about?" He asked, getting me to shudder.

Disgusting creatures the lot of them, but they are quite powerful even without the shards. Thank Raijin that they are extremely rare or otherwise there would be a lot less yokai around.

We're lucky that there is only one currently living thankfully.

"No, with how smart I've heard that one is she would have made her presence known to us or tried to make an arrangement of sorts. No I guess this is someone else." I said, tapping Raigekijin against my shoulder.

If these shard hunters were able to collect two or three shards, then they must have some degree of strength behind them.

Still, either collect the shards or go back to the castle and get a good laid once again. Tough choice.
