Yura the Demon Hair

InuYasha (2000)

[ashitakaxsan]

Yura,you Intrigue Us:)

Rumiko sama states about her:

"The first strong demon Inuyasha fought. I wanted human-like so she would be able to communicate with Inuyasha, since he was not able to communicate with other demons in the same way. It was fun to draw the way she manipulated her hair and the way she moved around. I wanted a pretty girl because her weapon is her hair and she uses a comb, so I thought it would be more fun to make her pretty".

Below:She also has her Benigasumi(紅霞, べにがすみ, Crimson Mist) wakizashi.It's fascinating did Rumiko sama,within a week,worked this wondrous art.

What I say

Rumiko made a Gorgeous,Sexy villainess,who gave to Inukag-and the village-big pains.

Let's see carefully how she Intrigues us:

Unique Abilities: She possesses a unique and formidable power - she's able to control her hair as deadly weapons. This makes her a challenging opponent for Inuyasha and Kagome, adding an element of suspense to the story.Such as these are :Trichokinesis,Kushi no Ori (櫛乃檻（くし乃をり）, "Comb of Hair"),Entanglement,Puppetry,Tracking,Hair Barrier,Remote Weaponry,Restoration,Immortality,Oni-Bi Gushi (鬼火毛, "Ogre-Fire Hair"),Immense Agility,Flight,Skilled Swordswoman,Intence Demonic Power,Enriched Strength.

Mysterious and Menacing: Her character design are striking and mysterious, which makes her visually appealing as a villainess. Her menacing presence creates tension in the storyline.See she wears a traditional kunoichi garb,black and sleeveless, was cut off midway down her thighs, and exposed the cleavage of her large breasts.Her boduy is amazingly curvacious

Contrast to Protagonists: As character she's the contrast to InuKag. Her ruthless and cunning nature opposes Inuyasha's impulsiveness and Kagome's kindness, creating an engaging dynamic in their interactions.Also she openly calls Inuyasha the lapdog of Kikyo's reincarnation.

Short-Term Antagonist: As a rival she's relatively short-lived,so she's more appealing to some readers. Her presence adds variety to the challenges faced by the main characters.

Overall, Yura's combination of unique abilities, visual design, and her role as a rival makes her an interesting and appealing character in the "Inuyasha" manga.

“Front Piece” chapter 11 sneak peek.

(AKA, Yura is like the little sister Inuyasha never wanted and has no problem calling him out in his stupidity 🤣🤣—It's gonna be some days before it's finished)

Inuyasha observed the three women as they descended the shrine’s stairs; they all seemed overly satisfied, especially his mother, who kept prattling on and on about Kagome. She was as subtle as a fucking clown at a funeral and wasn’t even trying to hide it.

They had reluctantly left early because Yura and Kikyo needed to start preparing dinner for eight people, which truly was more like ten, given how much he and his old man ate. Kaede decided to stay until the end of the festivities and would get a ride from Shippo’s parents, likely missing most of the meeting. Inuyasha mentally snorted at that; the kid clearly wanted to spend time with Sota instead of being surrounded by grown-ups discussing his and Kikyo’s divorce, which was funny since she had been the first one to bring up the subject. But Inuyasha could understand why she suddenly changed her plans.

“We definitely have to come back,” Izayoi commented cheerfully.

“What, so you can keep following Kagome like a nutcase?” he quipped.

Izayoi huffed. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she retorted, looking out the window as Inuyasha started the ignition.

“Oh, please, don’t think I don’t know what’s going on here,” he remarked before looking at the rearview mirror and pointing an accusatory finger. “You two told her about my feelings for Kagome and made fucking sure to bring her and force a meeting.”

“Bravo, your brain is finally working,” Yura stated, cocking an eyebrow at him.

Inuyasha scowled at her, flipping her, then got serious when he remembered the other subject.

Kikyo had a point, but, sadly, there wasn’t much Inuyasha could do. “From what her friends said, Naraku’s hovering happens only at work. I told them of his fucking tendency to appear wherever you go, so they said they’d keep an eye whenever they go out with Kagome.”

“There’s something else you need to know, Inuyasha. I gave her our numbers just in case,” Kikyo explained, and Inuyasha turned to frown at her. “I just wanted to let her know she could count on us.”

“It’s a nice thought, but I doubt she’d call. Not only can Kagome be stubborn as fuck but also I just can’t see her reaching out to us, not even as a last resort,” he sighed.

It would be nice if she called him, needed him in any capacity.

“Why? Because Kikyo’s the wife of the guy she likes?” Yura quipped.

“Yes!—No! Damn it, Yura! Would you fucking stop with that?!”

“Stop with what, Inuyasha?!” Yura challenged him, and he could see Kikyo trying to calm her down without succeeding.

He growled, feeling his ears folding back against his skull. “Insisting that she likes me. We don’t fucking know that!”

“With all due respect to your mom, you’re a fucking idiot. Kagome clearly fucking likes you, or she wouldn't try so hard to seem okay every time she sees Kikyo. Or you, from what I could tell today,” Yura continued, completely ignoring his growling and Kikyo’s soft pleas. “Hell, even her mom looked heartbroken the first time we met her.”

Inuyasha wanted to believe her, but he wouldn’t let himself become hopeful just yet. He parked in front of Megumi Sakasagami’s building, and Yura quickly exited the car to go get her.

“What do you think?” he asked, turning to face Kikyo.

She hesitated for a moment, fidgeting with her bag’s strap. “I think it’s a safe bet. It was more evident today; she’d look at you with such longing whenever your attention was elsewhere. It was the same look you have whenever you look at her.”

Kikyo’s words stunned him into silence, and Inuyasha only reacted when Yura and her mom exited the building. “Once we’re done with dinner, you and Yura better tell me everything you think, okay?”

Sakasagami no Yura/Yura of the demon hair

Otakon 2022

Ignore my socks, the shoes gave me blisters 😭

[naominotaisho]

Shōsetsu InuYasha:

Translation By: Patches

Page 223

Chapter 11: Soul Transfer 1 When Sakasagami no Yura had struck her with that inferno, Kagome was so terrified that she couldn’t move.  All she could do was crouch on the ground, wrap the cloak that Inuyasha had lent her around herself, and curl in on herself while she tried to withstand the heat of the flames. (Am I finally going to die now?  I’ll never see Mama, Jii-chan, or Souta again…)  But after a few dozen seconds had passed, Kagome began to think it strange.  The flames were burning brightly around her, but Kagome had no sensation of her body being burned.

Page 224

Inuyasha’s clothing was like some sort of ultra-high performance fireproof outfit. She wondered how much time had passed.  When the flames subsided and she tentatively peeked her head out from other the cloak, Kagome realized that Inuyasha’s cloak really had protected her.  The ground around her had changed color due to being burned at a high temperature, and there was no trace of any of the grass and trees that had been growing there, yet Kagome herself was unharmed.  Not even a single burn.  Thanks to Inuyasha’s fire rat cloak…! (Inuyasha… That’s right, what happened to Inuyasha?!)  When Kagome looked out into the valley, she was appalled at what she saw.  Yura’s nest had fallen to pieces, with skull-laden bundles of hair streaming out in all directions.  In the midst of this, she could see even at this distance that Inuyasha had been injured.  Yura had him cornered and was taunting him. (I want to go and help him!) she thought, but all her ideas felt futile.  (But… if there is something I can do, I want to help Inuyasha!) Something that Kagome could do.  That would be shooting arrows, and seeing things that other people couldn’t see.  In this situation, there had to be some way to make use of that, right…?

Page 225

At that moment, there was a glimmer of light at the edge of her vision.  “…?!"  When she looked again, one of the skulls atop Yura’s nest was glowing. (The main line of the hair that Yura controls… The light looks the same…)  She tried staring at it harder.  The light became steadily clearer.  Ah… it wasn’t the skull that was glowing.  She was able to see that there was something glowing inside of it. (Here I go.)  Kagome resolved herself.  The place where the glowing thing was was awfully high up.  On top of that, the only way up would be to climb the skull-laden bundles of hair.  She was scared just imagining it.  Her legs were frozen.   Even so, she’d still thought to herself, ‘here I go’.  Right now, this was all she could do.  She couldn’t stand forcing Inuyasha to have to face hardship all by himself.

Page 226

2 (Why?!  She should have been burned to death by my “Onibigushi”, so why is that woman unharmed?!)  Yura was confused.  Regardless of how much spiritual power she had, she wasn’t an oni or a powerful youkai.  She was just an ordinary human, so why?!  Even so, right now that woman was currently making her way up the hair on Yura’s nest.  Why? Could she have seen it?  No, that wasn’t possible.  Even so, she had to stop her.  Right now. “Die!"  Using her red comb, Yura broke off a piece from a nearby bundle of hair.  The bundles of hair the woman was clinging to undulated, and she let out a terrified shriek. (All right, I’ll make you fall with the next one).  When Yura attempted to dissipate the bundle of hair again, "What’re you doing looking away from me?!”

Page 227

Inuyasha suddenly came and slashed her across the back.  Not wanting to miss the opportunitiy, he’d drawn out Benigasumi, which had been lodged in his hand.  How dare a mere hanyou use her precious Benigasumi! With a darkly swelling anger, she shouted, “You be quiet!"  Yura manipulated her hair and flung Inuyasha against the rocks.  Naturally she retrieved Benigasumi right away.  "Hmph.” Thanks to having delivered a powerful blow, Inuyasha gained a fearless smile.  “Cutting or stabbing you does no good, but now you’re strangely in a hurry.  Is there something bad where that woman’s going?” Bingo.  But she wouldn’t let him see her distress.  She’d deal with the hanyou later, but she had to kill the woman first.  That’s what Yura had decided.

Page 228

3 The bundles of hair from Yura’s nest were frighteningly difficult to climb.  The surface was oddly slippery, and trembled and swayed each time Kagome applied her weight.  Not to mention there were skulls strewn about.  There was a pungent stench that was a mixture of blood, dirt, and rotting flesh… Thorough all that, Kagome continued to climb while encouraging herself.  (All right, just a little further to the glowing skull…) When she thought that, suddenly one of the strands of hair began swaying completely differently from before.  Violently, as if trying to throw Kagome off.  “Eek!"  She desperately clung to the bundle of hair, and somehow managed not to fall.  Her chest was pounding, and it felt like all the blood had drained from her body. (Has Yura discovered me?!)  When she turned around, she saw both Yura and Inuyasha looking her way, talking about something.

Page 229

“Inuyasha!!” Kagome called to him in a loud voice, pointing up towards the glowing skull.  “That skull… there’s something in that skull!!” “Tch!"  Yura clicked her tongue and leapt into the air. "Wait, Yura!  You’re not getting away!"  Inuyasha ripped apart the bundles of hair binding him with his strength alone, and lept high in the air after her. (I’ve gotta hurry and get to that skull.)  Kagome desperately tried to clamber up the hair, but she wasn’t able to.  Yura had leapt to the nest above Kagome, and shouted, "Kushi no Ori!(1)” and lifted her left hand high above her head.  Following the movement of Yura’s hand, all of the bundles of hair began to move.  They seemed to be haphazardly going this way and that, but they lifted up all at once, stretching high into the air.  Almost like they were coming together to form some kind of warped Christmas tree. (1) “Comb Cage”, but like with “Kushi no Kago”, is written as “Hair Cage”.

Page 230

It was decorated with skulls in place of a star, bells, and tinsel, so it was a rather creepy tree. The writhing, growing bundles of hair wrapped around Inuyasha’s body as he charged at Yura, dragging him inside.  Kagome was also dragged inside the writhing bundle of hair against her will.  “….!” The inside of Yura’s nest-turned-tree was hollow.  The long, overlapping hairs wiggled with a light rustle.  The scent of blood, dirt, and decay was even stronger here.  It felt like being in the belly of a beast. The hair that Kagome was just barely clining to gave a large jolt, and Kagome’s hand began to slip, threatening to drop her.  “Ugh!"  She frantically stretched out her hand, trying to grab onto the hair.  Her right hand touched something solid, so she grabbed onto that. Thank goodness, she thought… but when she looked up, Kagome saw that she’d stuck her fingers in the eye socket of a skull.  "Eeeew!  I touched it!”  

Page 231

She instinctively shuddered. “If you don’t like it, then let it go."  Yura came rushing from above her at a violent speed.  "You’ll be in the same state soon enough!"  Yura threw her sword at Kagome with a whizz. ”…!“  It was impossible to dodge.  It landed a direct hit on Kagome’s right upper arm.  Kagome cried out as an indescribable pain and shock ran through her.  (My arm….!)  Her arm had been cut off!  Ahh, my arm!  My arm! "Yes!"  Yura’s voice faded into the distance as Kagome fell.  Down, down, down, into the cavern within the tree made over multitudes of overlapping hairs. But her fall suddenly halted.  It was Yura.  The hairs she was manipulating wrapped around Kagome’s arms and lifted her up. ”…?!“  Before she realized it, Yura’s questioning face was in front of her.

Page 232

“Just what are you?  Why aren’t you injured?” “Huh?"  When she was told this, she looked with a gasp and saw that her right arm was not cut.  It was still stuck to her shoulder just as it always had been ever since she was born. (I’m not cut…?)  It still hurt, though.  But it wasn’t pain from a cut, it was pain from being struck by the sword.  She’d probably be nursing a big blue bruise there in a while.   (Is it thanks to this cloak that I wasn’t cut?)  Kagome examined the crimson cloak wrapped snugly around her.  Inuyasha had said that it was stronger than basic armor.  Just like back in the flames, she was sure that it was this cloak that had protected her this time as well. "It’s strange.  Your body is that of a mere human as far as I can see…"  Yura, not knowing about the power of the cloak, observed Kagome with a tilted head.  But, it seemed that she felt it was useless to just think about it.  "If the sword won’t work, let’s see if this will!” Shuun!  Yura moved the fingers of her left hand, and a strand of hair wrapped around Kagome’s neck.  It was very thin, but also a ridiculously strong hair.  It was the same hair that had taken those soldier’s heads, arms, and legs in a single instant.

Page 233

The hair that had killed those sparrows in flight.  That was the hair that was currently around Kagome’s neck.  Yura tightened the hair.  A sharp pain ran through her neck as blood began to spurt out. (She’s gonna kill me!  No!  I don’t want to die!  No… no… Help me!!) “Hijin Kessou!!” Inuyasha’s voice came suddenly.  Crescent-shaped blades made of blood came flying in with a roar, cutting off Yura’s left arm at the elbow.  At the same time, the hair broke away from Kagome’s neck. “Impossible!"  Yura’s eyes went wide, unable to believe what happened.   When Kagome looked up, she could see Inuyasha’s figure from between the overlapping bundles of hair.  "Inuyasha…"  When Kagome called out to him, her voice was small and hoarse.   She… made it out alive.  When she thought that, her body’s strength was sapped, and felt like her energy had gone somewhere far away. "Don’t pass out!  I’m not gonna look after you!”

Page 234

Inuyasha leapt down and firmly grabbed Kagome’s hand.  Contrary to his blunt words, his hand wrapped around Kagome’s firmly and warmly. (Inuyasha’s hand… is so warm…)  It wasn’t just her hand, but like he’d wrapped her fearfully trembling heart in warmth.  Kagome put all her strength into her own hand, gripping Inuyasha’s hand back firmly. Rumble rumble.  Something that sounded like a seismic roar reverberated, and Yura’s nest began to sway. “Wh, what is it?!” “Yura’s nest is collapsing!"  The overlapping bundles of hair trembled, and the skulls chattered their teeth as the nest suddenly began to collapse.  Caught in the middle of it, Kagome and Inuyasha fell as well.  All while firmly holding each other’s hands… "Heh, looks like with both her arms gone, she can’t hold up the hair anymore,” Inuyasha said while falling.  

Page 235

“She was stubborn, but this is it for her.” But it wasn’t over yet.  Benigasumi came flying through the air with a whizz, stabbing into the pit of Inuyasha’s stomach.  Firmly gripping the handle was Yura’s severed right hand.  Another spurt of blood erupted from Inuyasha’s already blood-stained white kimono. 4 The two of them hit the ground along with the skulls.  “Dammit!"  Inuyasha made his annoyance clear as he got up.  Right next to him, the woman who had fallen with him appeared to be looking around searching for something while her face was marred with the pain from the fall.   There was nothing but skulls surrounding them.  The skulls with which Yura had formed her nest.  The pitiful people whom Yura had killed… "Where are you, Yura!” Inuyasha yelled angrily.

Page 236

“You’re a fool, Inuyasha,” Yura’s voice came in return. “….!"  When he looked, he saw Yura standing atop a mountain of densely-packed skulls. "You thought I couldn’t do anything with my arms cut off?"  Benigasumi withdrew itself from Inuyasha’s stomach and floated next to a smugly smiling Yura, awaiting its next order. Inuyasha couldn’t believe it.  (Both arms are cut off, there’s a hole in her chest…  With so much damage she can still control the hair?  And she’s still alive?!) As if to answer his question, Yura said, "I’m immortal!"  Triumphantly, Yura thrust Benigasumi at Inuyasha again.  The cold blade shone in the moonlight, and the oni sword steadily approached him. However, suddenly, the sword stopped in the air.  ”…?!“

Page 237

Yura looked like she’d received a severe shock, her eyes wide and her body rigid. (What happened…?!)  Looking around, he noticed that the woman wearing the fire rat cloak was holding one of the skulls.  With a serious expression, she was trying to stab an arrow into it.  (Did she find that skull she mentioned before?!) “The hairs coming out of this skull are attached to Yura’s hands!"  Whether she was talking to Inuyasha or herself, she continued to intently stab the arrowhead into the skull.  With a crack, a small crack appeared in the skull’s crown. "Ugh!"  Yura let out a muffled groan.  Yura’s previous triumphant expression now gave way to intense anger.  "I’ll kill that woman!"  She recalled Benigasumi from where it hung in the air pointed at Inuyasha.  Now she flew straight at the woman. "Look out!"  The woman was too absorbed with stabbing the arrow to notice.

Page 238

Benigasumi’s sharp, cold blade was headed straight for her head. Right then, the arrow completely pierced the skull.  The skull split in two with a loud shatter.  Inside the skull was a comb.  The tiny comb was a transparent white, likely made of bone. “A comb!!"  Inuyasha’s eyes widened.  The arrow had split that comb in half. Paaaaan…!  At that moment, a dim light burst out.  A gasp came from Yura’s throat.  The oni woman who had boasted of being immortal was floating in the air stiff and wide-eyed. And then… Benigasumi fell to the ground with a clatter.  Like a candle going out, Yura’s figure vanished.  All that was left was her black leather kimono and red ribbon flapping in the wind.

Page 239

5 Kagome sat in dazed disbelief for quite a while.  The terrifying oni woman was no more.  She was gone for good. “That damned Yura… she transferred her soul into that comb,” Inuyasha said.  “That’s why no matter how much I cut or stabbed her, it didn’t do anything.” “Inuyasha!"  Kagome returned to her senses and came running to Inuyasha.  "Inuyasha, you’re… horribly injured."  Inuyasha’s white kimono was completely red.  She wondered just how many cut’s he’d received.  She hadn’t realized it was this bad until now.  "It’s all because you lent me your robe…"  Inuyasha had to have known that back when he lent her his fire rat cloak back at the well shrine.  Giving away his cloak meant that he would get injured.

Page 240

He knew that, and yet Inuyasha had turned over his cloak to Kagome.  He’d been concerned for her safety. “Thank you for this…"  Kagome gently took off the fire rat cloak and returned it to Inuyasha. "Yeah."  Inuyasha was as blunt as ever. "Hey… we need to get you patched up.” “This is nothing.  More importantly, where’s the Shikon no Tama?!” “Oh…"  Kagome spotted it next to Yura’s kimono.  She knew its light by now.  "Got it."  She retrieved the charm bag from between the kimono and sash.  From within it, she held the tiny shard in the palm of her hand. (Collecting the rest of them… I wonder just how many there are…)  Just a little earlier, it had felt hopeless.  A bit overwhelming.  (But I think we’ll be okay) Kagome thought.

Page 241

Page 242

(If I’m with Inuyasha, I’ll be okay.)  She had no basis for that, but that’s what Kagome thought.  She remembered when they were bounding across forests and fields chasing after Shibugarasu while she rode on Inuyasha’s back.  That she was oddly unafraid. (Back then, I thought it was because I was desperate.  But that probably wasn’t the case…)  She wasn’t afraid because she was with Inuyasha.  That had to be it… Lost in her thoughts, she turned around with a gasp when she heard Inuyasha say, “Let’s go, Kagome.” “Eh…?"  She looked at him blankly while Inuyasha scowled awkwardly. "What?” “You called me Kagome…  It’s the first time you’ve said my name…” “So what?"  Inuyasha scowled further. "Don’t you think that means we’re getting along better?”

Page 243

When Kagome leaned in to examine his face, Inuyasha turned his head to look away in a huff. “Keh.  Don’t get too excited.  Who’d get along with a stupid woman like you?"  Even though his words were harsh, this time she was able to smile when she heard them. "What?  We’re safe because of me!"  Kagome gave him a slap on the back, and Inuyasha’s face contorted with a gasp as he fell over onto the ground.  "Wait, what’s this about?!  If it hurts, you need to tell me!” “Shaddup."  Kagome looked on in amazement at Inuyasha’s unrelenting stubbornness. Can’t be helped.  He really was violent, selfish, mean, quick to anger, and refused to listen to others.  "But we’ll be okay,” she whispered to herself, smiling.  And things would be okay.  As long as she was with Inuyasha.
