"You can come out of hiding, I have felt your presence for a long time" - Kurama said with a frown because this unknown person had overlooked his senses for quite a while.
"Fufufu ~! As one would expect from someone as beautiful as you ~" - said a melodious female voice.
Kurama narrowed his eyes because he could feel a strange feeling of obsession and desire in the female voice, although that wasn't the problem, but this woman seemed to have the ability to be able to approach him without him detecting her - "Who are you?"
"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself ~" - the female voice said as she showed herself. She was beautiful, a woman of about 18-20 years old with dark green, almost black hair, she had a seductive body and her clothing did little to hide her generous curves, which made her look like a succubus by the expression of ecstasy and lust she had - "That shape, that beautiful silver color, that glow that shows how well cared for you have it ~"
Kurama raised an eyebrow when he heard this because it didn't seem like he was talking about his overall appearance, but rather his hair.
"Oh, I got carried away with my desires ~" - the seductive woman said as she walked over to Kurama, swaying her hips in the most provocative and erotic way she could - "My name is Yura, the hair demon, it's a pleasure ~"
Kurama tried to say something, though his words were caught in his throat as he watched the woman attack without changing her expression. He frowned as he parried the attack with utmost ease, surprising the woman because she didn't expect this man with beautiful hair, to parry her so easily, more so with the little Youki he was releasing.
"You're not a normal person..." - Yura said while frowning.
"Why did you attack me?" - Kurama asked as he narrowed his eyes, mostly out of simple curiosity.
"Your hair is the most beautiful thing I've seen since birth, that's why I want it for my collection ~" - Yura replied as she purred seductively - "Now, please don't stop me ~"
The woman again attacked, though this time things did not go as she thought. She was again stopped with utmost ease, though to her terror, the handsome white-haired man didn't stop there. She saw Kurama's eyes change before she felt everything around her go blurry.
When she opened her eyes again, she noticed how she was in a familiar place.
"So this is your real body" - Kurama said curiously as he took a red skull.
Yura's expression didn't change, although inside she was starting to sweat because she didn't expect things to take such a drastic turn in so few seconds. It was obvious that the Yokai in front of her was much stronger than she thought - "What are you talking about?"
"Oh, don't play innocent, I can smell your scent on this skull, or rather..." - Kurama said as he moved his hand on the skull and destroyed it without much difficulty, revealing a beautiful black and red comb.
Yura's pupils contracted as she felt her body shaking uncontrollably - "P-Please don't kill me..."
"Why would I kill you when you are such a beautiful specimen with so much potential?" - Kurama asked with a huge smile - "Besides, haven't you thought about what it feels like to set aside such a clear weakness as this object, and get a real physical body?"
Yura was silent for a few seconds as she looked at her body in contemplation. She knew her body was beautiful, after all, she knew about female anatomy thanks to being used by many Yokai before getting an ego of her own.
"You want me ~?" - Yura purred as she tried to seduce the silver-haired man, only to let out a small cry of pain as she felt a slight break in the comb. That was signal enough to understand that she had better not try anything - "What do you wish for?"
"Your words are not far from reality, your appearance is comparable to my wives, that's why I find it a pity that I have to kill you, not to mention that my words about your potential are not wrong" - Kurama answered while giving her a neutral look - "As far as I can see, your power increases with every head you get."
"Yes, although this power increases depending on the power of my prey" - Yura answered honestly because she knew that her life was in the hands of her captor.
"That's why I have a proposal for you, I can give you a mortal body and transfer your consciousness, with the problem that now they will be able to kill you, although as a bonus, you can use your comb to be able to concentrate the power of your prey in a hair and attach it to your head, strengthening you in the process" - Kurama answered with a huge smile.
"!" - Yura opened her eyes, surprised at this proposal as she thought about the huge possibilities, although this sounded too good to be true - "What do you wish in return?"
Kurama was silent for a few seconds as he smiled slightly because with this, he had gotten a guinea pig to test some things out. The laws of this world were very different from those of his home dimension, according to Kaede, some humans could transform into Yokai, or by default, Hanyo, which massively increased their vitality and the amount of years they could live, something he wished for with all his heart because with this, there would be no need to have to say goodbye to Kushina and the others, as for why he was proposing this to Yura, the reason was simple, she was the best target to experience Yokai creation and body modification.
"What I desire, is your loyalty" - Kurama replied with a small smile while calculating a few things - "You will be by my side for the rest of your existence."
He had planned to observe Yura closely so that he could modify her body to reach a satisfactory result.
Yura blushed slightly as she smiled - "I accept, master ~"
Kurama smiled in response as he released the woman from her bindings before telling her to follow him.
Yura nodded, though inside she was thinking about a few things.
First... How was it possible for him to find her body so quickly?
Second... How had she been defeated so quickly?
Third... What race was her master?
Fourth... How powerful was he?
She had many more questions, though those were the most important.
Yura didn't know if he would answer these unknowns, or if he would get angry if she asked so freely, that's why she decided to keep quiet for now, though there was something she was curious about - "Master..."
"What do you need?" - Kurama asked as he gave her a look.
"What shall we do with the Shikon Pearl?" - Yura asked with a clear desire in her tone of voice.
"I am offering you the ability to grow to a level you never thought you would see, and you decide to get an item that is useless?" - Kurama asked with a frown as he sighed regretfully.
Yura's expression froze when she heard this. She could even hear the disappointment in her new master's voice, and this was danger to her, after all, it was obvious that the man in front of her was not helping her out of the kindness of his heart.
Yura knew that there were no innocent Yokai, and if there were, they were either dead or everyone was taking advantage of them. In a society where everyone was prey to the superior Yokai, it was better to be of use to their masters, or they would end up dead, discarded and at the mercy of other predators.
"I-I was joking, master, it's obvious that I wouldn't wish to possess such a stupid object when you are giving me the possibility to become a superior being" - replied Yura while feeling how her back was full of sweat, something she didn't think would happen, after all, this current body was a simple puppet.
Kurama didn't say anything in response, he just turned around and started walking.
Yura trembled slightly because she could feel for a few seconds the huge presence hiding inside her master. She could feel chaos, destruction and a power comparable to nature itself, so she quickly shook her head and followed him silently, as if she was a puppy that had just been caught doing something bad.
Panic invaded her interior as she thought about how to solve her situation, not noticing how Kurama was watching her silently with an imperceptible smile, after all, this was the best way to control someone like Yura. He wasn't planning on killing her or getting rid of her, after all, where could he find a specimen like her to be able to help him willingly? And it wasn't as if he was acting like Orochimaru, Kurama was just taking advantage of the situation so that both of them would benefit, though at the same time, Yura was the one in danger.
