Extra 19: Change the World (53)

"I'm sorry" - said Izumi while looking at the hair demon apologetically.

"Don't give me your pity, I don't need it" - Yura snorted as she crossed her arms - "Anyway, I won't waste more of your time, you can go talk to the dog boy, although I want to tell you that you better not do anything stupid, after all, you don't want your father to kill him, do you?"

Izumi blushed because she understood what Yura was trying to say - "I-I don't plan to do something so daring!"

"That's good to hear" - Yura said before disappearing.

"Seriously, that woman is acting like one of my mothers..." - Izumi snorted before walking to Inuyasha.

"Are you alright, Sesshomaru-sama?" - Jaken asked as he looked worriedly at his master.

"Yeah, I just still can't believe that bastard managed to defeat me, even with all that luck he had" - said Sesshomaru neutrally - "Besides, I don't understand how Inuyasha managed to wake up Tetsusaiga..."

"Y-you heard him, Sesshomaru-sama" - said Jaken while biting his lip - "Though it is possible that we might manage to find a way to trick the sword"

"Speak" - Sesshomaru said as he grabbed his subordinate's collar and pulled him up - "Do you really think there is a way I can control Tetsusaiga?"

"I-It's likely..." - Jaken replied with difficulty because he was starting to get short of breath - "A-Although it's possible... we'll have to think everything through in great detail."

Sesshomaru was silent before throwing the elf to the ground - "Go on..."

"Thank you for sparing my life, Sesshomaru-sama!" - Jaken exclaimed as he let out a sigh of relief - "As for how, I think we could use a human monk's arm, so we could increase the odds of success."

"Impossible, there is no way my body can accept a human's arm" - said Sesshomaru with a frown.

"That's why I had thought of using a fragment of the Shikon pearl" - replied Jaken seriously.

"It's possible" - muttered Sesshomaru as he contemplated his subordinate's idea.

"Besides, now that we know all the details, the probability of success is much higher than our first attempts" - Jaken added with a small smile because he knew that with this, his master would no longer be furious with him.

Sesshomaru was about to say something else, when he felt a familiar presence that he recognized immediately - "What is she doing here?"

"Sesshomaru-sama?" - Jaken said, only to watch as his master disappeared to the north - "Wait for me, Sesshomaru-sama!"

* * * * *

"I see that he detected me" - mused a silver haired woman as she looked to the northeast - "Well, never mind, I still have a few things to do before I meet up with Sesshomaru again."

The woman shook her head before removing the necklace from her neck, which seemed to have a pearl as black as night in the middle of it.

"I can finally feel the one responsible in the disturbance between life and death" - the woman muttered while narrowing her eyes, because honestly, it was annoying that after the intervention of this stranger, a lot of incidents related to hell started to appear around her.

The woman again shook her head before running towards what seemed to be a forest near some huge mountains, only to freeze as she felt a huge presence on the spot.

"What was that?" - muttered the silver haired woman as she bit her lip, after all, this presence was far more powerful as that of her late husband, as well as many Daiyokai she had met over the years.

The silver-haired woman was silent until she heard a familiar voice.

"What are you doing here?" - Sesshomaru asked coldly as he looked at the beautiful platinum haired woman.

"Is that any way to treat me when we haven't seen each other for so long?" - The woman asked as she raised an eyebrow.

"Master Sesshomaru!" - Jaken exclaimed as he drew in a shaky breath, though his expression changed when he saw the person in front of his master, after all, she was unmistakable with that familiar appearance.

"I see you're still carrying that goblin with you" - the woman said as she looked at Jaken with slight interest because she knew Sesshomaru like the back of her hand.

"Inu no Kami-sama (Dog Goddess)!" - Jaken exclaimed as he knelt down in front of the woman, after all, she was none other than his master's mother. She was an Inu Daiyokai who was formerly the wife of Inu no Taichou, and although she did not have a name, to identify her, her loyal subjects decided to nickname her Irasue.

At first, she was infuriated with the idea that some inferior creatures would give her a name, though she quickly understood that this was a title they gave her for her devotion, so she finally accepted this name.

Irasue ignored Jaken and looked at his son with a frown - "What happened to your arm?"

"I lost it to Tetsusaiga" - Sesshomaru replied neutrally - "All because I got overconfident."

"You lost?" - Irasue said with surprise before she began to laugh lightly - "I didn't expect my proud son to lose to a hybrid."

Sesshomaru's expression darkened before he let out a sigh - "Is that all you're going to tell me?"

"You want me to worry and be a loving mother?" - Irasue asked sarcastically - "We both know that's not what you want, after all, your personality is just like mine, we are cold, and it's hard to make us show emotions, the only difference is that I have the experience and age to control my impulses"

"I don't like the sound of your words, woman" - Sesshomaru said neutrally - "Now, I want you to tell me what you are doing here, and not in your sanctuary"

"That's no way to talk to your mother" - Irasue said as her eyes flashed with intense irritation.

"Are you going to answer?" - Sesshomaru asked as he frowned.

"It's none of your business" - Irasue said neutrally as the duo looked at each other.

"If you are going to have a fight between mother and son, then you can have it somewhere else" - said a male voice.

The two canine Daiyokai looked at each other, surprised that neither had managed to sense the presence of the person talking to them.

"Who are you!" - Jaken exclaimed with a scowl - "How dare you interrupt the conversation of my master and her excellency!"

"If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute..." - Said the male voice with a cold tone.

Jaken felt his blood freeze as the last word came out of this stranger's mouth.

"I guess you're the person I've been looking for" - Irasue said as she looked towards the forest.

"You were looking for him?" - Sesshomaru repeated with a frown because he wasn't expecting this.

"Were you looking for me?" - such it seemed the man behind the voice was also surprised - "Why were you looking for me?"

"Because your interference is causing problems between the connection of the world of the living, with the world of the dead" - Irasue answered seriously.

The voice fell silent before a silhouette appeared in front of the two canine Daiyokai.

Sesshomaru looked at the one responsible, only to feel his breathing stop for a few seconds. The pressure this man was radiating was similar to the time he saw this unknown man during his search for Tetsusaiga, and what was worse, this unknown man wasn't even paying attention to him.

"Really?" - Kurama said in surprise as he tried to find some deception in the words of this woman, who he had to admit was beautiful, yet at the same time he felt she was familiar. He slowly closed his eyes and pondered the situation, though after a few seconds he remembered where he had seen her, she was very similar to a little girl he had met in the future, a girl named Kon that he was father to.

"What's wrong?" - Irasue asked with a frown as she felt the strangeness in the gaze of the handsome Yokai in front of her.

"It's nothing" - replied Kurama skeptically - "Anyway, you said that my actions are causing trouble between the world of the living and the dead."

"Yes, I won't go into details, but I possess the key to connect hell with the world of the living, and your actions have caused a backdoor of which I possess no control" - said Irasue with annoyance, although this did not reduce her beauty - "A door of which there is no one to watch over, and it is causing some souls to return to the world of the living and start possessing the bodies of mortals."

"I see" - Kurama muttered as he closed his eyes again and began to release some of his aura.

Sesshomaru opened his eyes, surprised to notice this strange change.

The Daiyokai in front of him had made his aura disappear, no, this stranger's aura had become one with nature, which was impossible, even for spirits that had been born in such form.
