I've been looking for some time. You ask what am I looking for? Well, you will see it and I hope that you will understand it too. I am walking across a large meadow. I've been alone for a while, but now you're with me. When I first met you, I was against it, but now I'm happy to have some company. I hear a rustle and hide. Come to me and be quiet, something is approaching us! Here he comes: it's a huge yokai, but he doesn't notice us. He's screaming something, but I don't understand. He stops and turns around. “Don't you dare to follow me, you coward?” Now I can hear him. Who is he talking to? A familiar voice from the nearby forest answers: "Dirty bastard! If you run away, you're probably the coward!" A bright glow, a scream and everything is quiet again. I step out from behind the tree. Wait here for me until I give you a sign! Now a dark figure steps out onto the meadow and sparkles evil in our direction.“What do you want here?” I walk slowly towards him. Don't worry, he won't hurt me. “I was looking for you, Inuyasha!” The addressee winces when he says his name and stares at me. I stop in front of him and look at him. He seems to be absent for a moment, but then catches himself up again and looks past me, in your direction. I will give you a sign that you can come to me. “I would like to talk to you.” He nods curtly and indicates that we should follow him.
After a while we come to a cave. It is empty and cold, but a fireplace can be seen. Inuyasha goes to a corner of the cave, fetches wood, and makes a fire. It gets light immediately, but one cannot speak of warmth in this cave. I look at him for a while. He stares into the fire and is completely lost in his thoughts. Then he looks up and looks at me again. “So what are you doing here?” His eyes are cold and empty. You remind me of his half-brother's ...
"I have a couple of questions for you."You have probably noticed that I hesitate. Well, Inuyasha is no longer the way you know him. But that will all clear up later, don't worry." What questions? "He gets suspicious. Sure, he never really liked me, at least I always had the feeling that it was like that. I try to find the right words. If I say something wrong, he will just disappear and then I would be back Where I started: Nothing! "First of all, I'd like to know if you've heard from Sango. Do you know where she is "That wasn't my real question and you probably know that too. But we should start a conversation with him first. He just shrugs his shoulders, but I can see his eyes clouding over." I don't know exactly. The last time I saw her, she was in her home village. The village was rebuilt. I think she stopped hunting demons and is now living a peaceful life with her daughter.Are you going to look for her If so, please tell her I'm fine! " I nod.
You look confused, but that's no wonder either. You probably have a lot of questions by now, and I think now is the time to answer at least a few. It has been a long time since yokai and humans allied, made peace between brothers and rivals, and united forces to destroy the mighty evil that has spread fear and terror for so many years. You know who I'm talking about don't you? Yes, I'm talking about the Hanyou Naraku. It was destroyed, but at a high cost: many of our allies had to die for victory. Sango mourned for a long time, but Mirokus and their daughter helped her over the death of her husband. Yes, Miroku fell too. Her brother died too, because he couldn't live without the splinter. Sango had known, so she could say goodbye to him in time.At the time she had said that his time was long gone, but we all knew that saying these words was just trying to stay strong. I haven't seen her in a long time and I hope she got happy. If you want, we can still visit her family's grave and pray for them. Now don't look so sad! I never said you had to go with me. But stay with me, as I said: I appreciate your company.
I turn back to Inuyasha. He's back on his mind. What is going on in him? He still looks empty and sad. We shouldn't stay too long so as not to hurt him unnecessarily. I just have to get rid of my questions or my trip has been in vain. “Inuyasha?” He doesn't even flinch, just slowly looks back at me. The cloudiness of his gaze gives way to an icy cold. I told you that he has changed. I had actually hoped that there would be at least some of the warmth left in his eyes.When I got to know him, he always had a warm charisma and actually always looked happy, even if he never admitted it. I was told at the time that it was closed and unfriendly. But today is the first time that I see him like this. Funny that I keep thinking about the past now that I see him sitting in front of me. Maybe it's because she was just more beautiful. We were all happy and everything was easier. But I had made up my mind to lock the past inside myself and never think about it again. It just hurts too much, and I'd better deal with the future. I've set myself a goal: I have to talk to his brother one last time. Now I have answered your biggest question, right? Yes, I went on this journey to get rid of my final questions.
“I only have one more question, then we'll go again!” Inuyasha still looks at me coldly and suspiciously.I wish he wouldn't look at me like that. I would like to see his smile again and some of the old warmth. But he even makes the fire look cold in front of him. He hasn't given anyone a smile since defeating Naraku. He just disappeared back then. We looked for him, but soon most of them gave up. They were all tired, exhausted, and all mourned. Nobody was happy about the victory, because it was even more painful than the many fights before. It meant loss and grief, saying goodbye. But I didn't give up, even if it was often tough. I had too many questions and now I can finally start asking them. “Can you tell me where your brother is?” Now he flinches. I didn't want that, maybe this question was too direct. But he looks back into the fire, with the same empty and cold look. "I think he went south. Since Tensaiga was broken at the time, he wanted to look for a suitable blacksmith.He had told me about one further south, but that was years ago. "I nod silently. You are probably wondering why he didn't go to Totosai. Well, the old armourer wanted to offer us his help back then too. He had forged a sword for each of them and he strengthened Toukijin. But when Naraku noticed this, he attacked him. Totosai was not prepared for it. It was a devious attack that not only destroyed the newly forged swords ...
“Say, Inuyasha, what have you been doing in the last few years?” I didn't want to leave, even though I knew I had to. “I thought you had just one more question?” He glances at me briefly. I can't stand his cold eyes anymore and look away. Then I notice a movement from him and look at him again. He took out something that was previously hanging around his neck. You have probably already recognized the Shikon no Tama. It's complete! "I collected the remaining splinters.It wasn't very difficult because there were only three missing. It didn't take long, but I finally made a promise. "He looked at the jewel in his hand. I mean to you to be calm and just watch him. I also watch him and get sad at what I have to see. His icy gaze has disappeared, but in his place there is sadness Sadness, despair and loneliness. Tears are forming in his eyes, but he is recovering before they can roll over his face. I slowly stand up. It is now time to travel on. I don't want to hurt him any more when I did it inadvertently. He also gets up quickly. I turn to him and put my hand on his arm. "Thank you for answering my questions! "He looks at me again and just nods. His eyes are still empty and sad. Come on, we're going again! I'll go with you to the exit of the cave and turn around one last time. I will probably never forget what I see: Inuyasha stands in the empty cave and looks again at the jewel in his hand.Occasional tears drop on the small ball, which now lights up in the light of the moon. "I'm sorry," I whisper before moving on.
You follow me and that makes me happy. I thought that you don't want to go any further after seeing this, but you stay with me. You have more questions now, don't you? Come on, I'll answer you soon. We're going south for a while. Don't worry, we'll take a little break beforehand. I think you can really use them now. We are very close to the Yokai hunter village and could visit Sango if you want. Hopefully Inuyasha was right and she still lives there.

It is already getting dark and we are finally here: a village where many great heroes lived and also died. Much of the story I know happened here. Not the most important, but a significant one. We enter the village and look around. It was actually rebuilt. With a nod I point to the back of the village.There is a small cemetery there. These are the fallen heroes I told you about. At the beginning of the many adventures as we know them, they fought here. It was another devious attack by Naraku. They tried to defend their village, but they were outnumbered. They didn't stand a chance. A low purr makes me wince for a moment. I look at my feet, which are being stroked by a small cat with a double tail. You probably still know her! "Hello, Kirara! Is Sango there too?" She maunts softly and walks towards a small hut on the edge of the village. Come on, we'll follow her. I stop in front of the hut. “Sango?” A little girl steps out of the door. You're wondering who that is, right? But I can only guess who it could be. "Hello, who are you? My mom is not there right now, she's visiting dad." She smiles friendly and caresses Kirara, who is purring in her arms. "We're friends of your mother and would like to talk to her.Can you tell me exactly where she is "The girl nods and takes my hand to lead me out of the village. She stops in front of the gate and holds out her hand
