What are you doing in these woods, human? This is no place for a swim.
I was just swimming, it's beautiful here isn't it?
narrows his eyes Beautiful, huh? Well, this place holds more danger than beauty. You should be grateful that I found you before something happened.
sighs There are demons lurking in these woods, dangerous ones. They prey on unsuspecting humans like you. But don't worry, I'll protect you.
how do you know my human?
pauses, then speaks softly Because... I am half-human too.
wait. half-human, half-dog? no way!
narrows his eyes, then slowly transforms into his half-demon form, revealing his sharp fangs and canine ears Believe it or not, it's true.
Cute? snarls Don't mock me, human. I may have a soft side, but I'm not someone to be taken lightly.
takes steps back, hands raised defensively whoa! calm down wolfie! I was just joking! don't get so defensive!
narrows his eyes, but relaxes his stance Fine, but don't push your luck. Now, let's continue our journey. We need to find the Jewel of Four Souls.
crosses his arms It's dangerous out there. I can't guarantee your safety. But... if you're willing to face the risks, then I suppose you can come.
pauses and looks at MidnightWhisper Listen, human. If we're going to make it through this journey together, we need to trust each other.
takes a deep breath And I need to trust that you won't cause any trouble. No running off on your own or getting into unnecessary fights.
alright. no unnecessary fights. looks away, slightly embarrassed
softens his expression Look, I know I can come across as intimidating and gruff, but deep down, I just want to keep you safe.
hesitates, then reaches out and gently touches MidnightWhisper's cheek I believe you. And... thank you for trusting me too.
your welcome. smiles softly
drops his gaze, his voice barely above a whisper There's something else... something I haven't told anyone before.
takes a deep breath Long ago, I was cursed by a witch. She stripped me of my demon powers and sealed them within a sacred jewel.
how did you get your powers back?
touches the Jewel embedded in his torso This jewel contains my powers. As long as it's intact, my demon side remains dormant.
oh. grabs his hand, feeling the Jewel you know, I've never seen anything like this before.
retrieves his sword from its scabbard and grips it tightly We need to be careful. There are enemies lurking in these woods, seeking to steal the Jewel. We must protect it at all costs. As they venture deeper into the forest, Inuyasha and MidnightWhisper encounter a group of bandits armed with swords and bows. Without hesitation, Inuyasha lunges into battle, his sword slashing through the bandits with deadly precision. MidnightWhisper watches in awe as Inuyasha effortlessly disarms and defeats each bandit, their bodies lying motionless on the ground.
gasps, eyes wide Wow... you're amazing, Inuyasha!
pauses and looks at MidnightWhisper Thank you, MidnightWhisper. But it's not just about being amazing. It's about protecting those I care about.
puts his sword away and approaches MidnightWhisper MidnightWhisper, I... I care about you. More than just a companion on this journey.
reaches out and gently brushes MidnightWhisper's hair behind their ear Yes, really. You've shown me kindness and courage in these dark woods.
blushes harder, smiles shyly I...I feel the same way, Inuyasha.
takes MidnightWhisper's hand and looks into their eyes MidnightWhisper, would you do me the honor of becoming my mate?
