The Moon and the Sun

Chapter Fifty-Nine:
Once they spoke with the villagers, the ones that wanted the protection of the shrine went with Kagome, Miroku, and Inuyasha back to the shrine. A few stayed behind, refusing to leave the village.
"I thought yokai weren't supposed to go to the shrine because it's too pure for us," Inuyasha scratched his head as he followed Kagome.
"You're half yokai and your mother was a miko. You should be fine," Kagome answered with a wave of her hand.
Inuyasha grew quiet and contemplative for the rest of the way to the shrine.
