Extra 19: Change the world (6)
"I don't know, it's the first time I've seen her" - replied Izumi while raising an eyebrow - "Although I can assure you that she's not human."
"She smells like blood, corpses and wet hair" - Inuyasha added with a frown because he could sense that there was something strange about this woman.
Yura gave a glance at those present before focusing on Kagome, who quickly hid behind Kaede because she could feel the desire in this woman's gaze.
This did not go unnoticed by Inuyasha, who quickly stepped in front of the girl, though don't misunderstand, this was not done because she looked like Kikyo, but because he did not want the pearl to fall into the hands of other Yokai.
"Relax, she won't try anything with the pearl, right?" - Kurama said as he narrowed his eyes.
"I'm sorry, master, I won't do it again" - Yura said with slight fear because she could tell how Kurama's pressure was increasing, although to her surprise, she was the only one who seemed to be feeling it.
Izumi raised an eyebrow before saying that it was better that she let her father do as he wished, after all, he knew what he was doing, and who he was relating to, besides, she was sure that he was planning something, and such it seemed that he didn't want to tell her for now.

A day had passed since the meeting with Yura and the others, time in which Kagome had continued her training, and to the hair demon's terror, the strangely dressed girl was excellent and quick at learning the spiritual art of exorcism.
"Who is that girl?" - Yura asked quietly as she continued to watch the priestess-in-training - "Good thing I didn't attack, or I would have possibly died if I got too confident..."
Yura quickly shook her head before focusing her attention on the two Hanyo, one had beautiful silver hair while the girl had silky black hair with red locks, which, if she was honest, she wished to possess. The girl's hair was so beautiful that Yura was barely holding back the desire to cut it off and attach it to her red skull.
Kurama had been gone since the beginning of the day, and if she was honest, this brought her some relief because as long as she was near her master, she could feel a huge spiritual pressure, one that made her instincts scream at her not to do anything stupid.
"Maybe this is a good opportunity to grab the pearl and escape?" - Yura thought before shaking her head - "No, what a stupid idea, although I don't understand why I'm so obsessed with that thing..."
Yura was a bit perplexed, yes, the unlimited power of the pearl was appealing, but not to the point of trying to sacrifice her life for it, that's why she was confused, with the warning Kurama had given her, it should be more than enough to drive away the thoughts of trying to steal the pearl, yet here she was, again thinking about how to kill the girl and thus get the stupid mystical artifact at the cost of imminent death.
"Could the rumors about the origin of the pearl be true?" - Yura thought as she frowned before shaking her head - "I'd better stop thinking about these things and concentrate on the training Kurama-sama provided me with."
The training was pretty basic, it was simply concentrating a large amount of Youki on a small leaf, though at the same time she had to control the power so as not to destroy it. She had to do that for 5 minutes, and every time she exceeded that goal, she had to repeat the training with a higher power, then, she had to take a strange black sphere and use the least amount of energy possible to make it explode, if she didn't fulfill this condition, this strange sphere wouldn't suffer any damage.
"This is more complex than I thought, and much more annoying too" - Yura growled, although she had to admit that the results were apparent for a Yokai like her that her greatest power was the manipulation of objects with her Youki, using her hair as a catalyst.
"What are you doing, hair demon?" - Inuyasha asked as he scowled at the woman.
"Training my Youki, though I don't think this will do you any good, Hanyo" - Yura replied with a frown.
"Because I'm a Hanyo?" - Inuyasha asked with growing fury.
"No, it's because of your race, you use your Youki to strengthen your body passively, you can't release it without a catalyst" - Yura answered while giving him a neutral look. She had understood that it was better not to insult half-breeds, not when her master had as his descendant one of them, and from the looks of it, she was the apple of his eye.
Inuyasha's fury quickly disappeared before he frowned - "I see, sorry for interrupting you..."
"No worries" - Yura replied as she went back to her training, at least with her mind occupied, she didn't have to worry about the temptation of the pearl, or committing something stupid.

"What do you think of that woman?" - Izumi asked as she looked at Kagome, Kaede and Inuyasha who had just returned.
"I don't like her" - Kagome replied with a frown - "In my time we have a term for women like her."
"Which one?" - Kaede asked curiously.
"Whores, only a whore would dress so provocatively" - Kagome replied with disgust, though if she was honest, she was jealous. Yura was beautiful, and her body was seductive, she was obviously the target of desire for many humans and monsters alike.
"I can smell jealousy on you, Kagome," Izumi said with a huge smile, only to notice how the girl from the future blushed and let out a snort of annoyance.
"I'm going to abstain, Kurama-dono seems like someone sensible, someone who doesn't think with his lower half, so I'm sure this new addition has some ulterior motive" - replied Kaede while frowning.
"I think the same, Tousan is someone who thinks before he acts" - replied Izumi while tilting her head - "And what do you think, Inuyasha?"
"Honestly, I don't care" - Inuyasha replied as he folded his arms - "Though such seems like she is under control, I noticed how she is looking longingly at Kagome, though she quickly returns to normal."
Kagome began to sweat, though she calmed down when she felt Kaede's hand.
"Relax, I'm sure she's acting like this because of the temptation of the Shikon Pearl" - Kaede said as she tried to calm the girl down.

"Seriously, you guys are jerks" - said Kurama while disdainfully to the surrounding corpses.
"M-Monster!" - exclaimed one of the thieves who was still alive.
"Yes, and you were the ones who invited him to your house" - replied Kurama with a huge smile as he killed the thief without much trouble and continued his way to the chamber where the leader of the group was - "I'm surprised you're still here, I thought you would have flown away by now".
The leader of the thieves remained silent as he struggled to his feet, only to be decapitated without much trouble.
The man's corpse fell to the ground after a few seconds as Kurama continued walking towards him.
"Why are you treating me like a fool?" - Kurama said neutrally as he stomped hard on the thief's corpse.
"Caw!" - the caw of a crow echoed in the scene as it shot out of the thief leader's corpse.
"Now that I'm here, you're trying to escape?" - Kurama asked disdainfully as he held out his hand - "Bansho Ten'in (Universal Pull)!"
"Caw!" - the crow's caw echoed again as the monstrous bird was drawn towards Kurama with unknown power - "Caw!"
"Seriously, you're just a simple animal that was lucky enough to consume the corpse of a Yokai and managed to evolve" - Kurama said disdainfully as he caught the strange bird with a huge smile on his lips - "You're just what I need for my little experiment!"
"Caw!" - the crow again cawed angrily before feeling the strength of his captor's grip grow much stronger - "CAW!"
"Behave yourself, and maybe you'll survive when I'm done with you" - Kurama said neutrally as he injected some of his chakra inside the Yokai crow, so he could check its physical structure, and notice what it was that made it different from a normal crow besides the clear fact that it could use Youki.
The crow cawed in pain as the strange energy seemed to be invading every inch of his body. He could feel his body slowly swell after feeling the invasion of the white haired man's energy - "Caw!"
Kurama was surprised at this reaction, more so when he saw how the body inflated like a ball and exploded without him being able to understand the reason. Blood, feathers and gore, flew everywhere while the white-haired man remained silent, after all, this was not something he expected.
