The Cursed Bloodline
The Pillar Stone of Yuri

The fine grains of snow began to swirl, rapidly spinning forming the silhouette of a long-haired woman. Mirai's feet began to tread the wet ground. The sound of water rang out loud. Right in front of Mirai, there is a waterfall hidden in the forest atara rimbunya forest on the hill Sora.

"So this is the place. "

Mirai narrowed her eyes, trying to see far ahead what was hidden behind the rushing water. Mirai realized, there was an appearance of a mossy door made of stone, around the door was also coated with an elaborate magic seal surrounding it.

" Mirai. " Yora's heavy voice broke Mirai's daydream, the cold-talked man then approached her. Yora was not alone, this time she came with Yuri.

" You have come" said Mirai as she stepped towards a place in the wrong river.

" Why are you taking me to a place like this? " Yuri was curious, what exactly did mascud Mirai invite her to come to that place.

" You'll know in a minute, Yuri. "

Mirai found a monument buried under the bush. He immediately cleared the bushes. A symbol of the three Sora Clans was seen. The emblems of the Sun, Moon and Snow were engraved on the monument made of that stone.

" Meet! The leader! " Mirai called Yora to get closer. Mirai and Yora exchanged glances for a moment, then nodded compactly. Now both of them started to activate the gyoku in his hands.

The magic that came out in the gyoku Mirai and Yora began to send power to the stone seal in front of her. Mirai's blue magic light, as well as Yora's Black magic began to sweep across the seal's surface, and filled the seal's intricate pattern with the magic power of both.

Two of the three symbols, Snow and Moon started to emit a dazzling golden light. Simultaneously, the stone door that was behind the waterfall started to shake and finally opened perfectly.

A magic bridge was created and split the water that came down magically. A great amount of magic power, making the falling water suddenly stop flowing. Now a magic staircase is connected to the cave door.

"This is the Nue Temple we have been looking for, Leader" muttered Mirai in disbelief.

" You're right, Mirai. " Yora allows Mirai and Yuri to walk first.

Mirai began to step on her feet, and tried to cross the magic bridge carefully. The three of them finally entered the main door of the Temple. Who would have thought, behind ordinary waterfalls there is a hidden temple inside.

The temple where Nue was sealed looked so majestic. Although at some point, it looks weathered and old because of inedible age. But still undeniable, the structure of the building made of a sturdy blend of stone and some touches of wood that look so beautiful. Mirai started walking through a long corridor that connected the door with the main hall

In every part of the temple dingding, it was filled with ancient calligraphy baisan. I don't know what each note means, which must have been written tens of thousands of years ago. Not only that, the painting regarding the fight between the snow goddess and the creature named Nue was also beautifully arranged on the dingding of the stone. Wrapping up a story, how great the fight of their ancestors was.

There was one painting that caught Mirai's attention. Although not too visible due to overgrown moss, the painting still holds a story. Mirai's hand was moved to give the rest of the moss residue attached.

"Isn't this, Kurasu? Judging from this portrait, he did not look like a demon. "

There the figure of a shady-eyed man (Kurasu) is standing side by side with a goddess as beautiful as snow (Yuki). They seem to love each other. It was clearly visible from how Kurasu held the hand of the Goddess.

"So, this is why Kurasu treats me differently, she considers me like the Snow goddess. The woman, it turns out, is very loved by Kurasu. " Mirai had been lulled by the scenery in front of him, he seemed to feel de javu from the painting in front of him.

Unwittingly Mirai, her tears just dripped.

" What's wrong with me? Why am I crying? " Mirai immediately rubbed her cheeks violently.

Mirai was still busy with her world, unknowingly since Yora had already called out her name.

" Mirai! You're listening? "

" ah! Da... " Mirai woke up from her daydream and immediately rushed over to Yora. As he began to enter the vast temple hall, Mirai's steps came to a halt just like that when he saw a huge symbol at the tip of his foot

Right in the center of the temple, there was a large seal forming a snow emblem on the floor. Mirai could sense, a dark force sealed within. Unmistakably, this was the seal Nue had to repair immediately.

"Mirai, can you take out the red Nue scripture that you obtained from the Red Cloud Cops headquarters? " murm Yora quietly

" this. " Mirai immediately pulled out the red book. While Yora, took out the white book that she had before. The two books were merged with the help of Yora's magic, and formed a new book called the Book of Nue.

Yora began to open sheet after sheet of the book which now turned black on its cover. It was clearly written there, how to seal Kurasu.

"Mirai look at this, it says here. We must collect the four pillar stones and plant them on all four sides of the Nue seal. "

Mirai began to look around her. It is true, at the four points of the seal there are missing parts. The size was very fitting with the pillar stone that he had collected.

" It is also written, if we want to perform the ritual, we must stand in each statue of the Pillar. As per the origin of our pillar. "indicate Yora

Inside the room, there were three statues of the Sky Guard Pillars each standing around the seal. The three statues are Aorasu the pillar of the sun. Yorasu the Moon pillar. And finally, the statue that is between the two, Yuki the snow goddess.

Mirai's eyes are on Yuri. Since then, the girl had only been silent with a look of bewilderment.

"Yuri, listen to me. The reason we invited you to this place is to ask for a big enough rock from you" Mirai said slowly

Yuri finally understood Mirai's intentions. His face began to soften, he knew a moment like this would come someday.

" You want to take out the second pillar stone, Mirai? If that's what you mean, you don't have to ask my permission. Whenever, I am ready to aim this stone! "

Mirai glanced at Yora at a glance, Yora just nodded slowly.

" But the risk you have to face is quite high. If the stone that had been in your body was forcibly removed, you could have died. Not only that, the pain that you will feel during removing the pillar stone is also very great. " said Mirai steadily, he tried to explain what might happen to Yuri

" If you're not ready for it, we can put it off! " fresh Yora. He knows, the girl in front of him has sacrificed many things, of course Yora or Mirai does not want to force Yuri to do this risky thing.

Yuri was silent for a moment, her ruby bead seemed to weigh Mirai's words.

But a second later, a smile was engraved on his face. He also began to open one by one the buttons of his shirt.

Now Yuri was wearing only a thin tank top, and started to flip her back. Yuri started to lower the thin rope perched on her shoulder. He picked up a little tank top, and showed his pockets filled with snake scales. Clearly visible, a second pillar stone stroke was embedded in his back.

"You know, all my life I've been called a mustard because of this stone. Even my own mother, she dumped me. Before I met all of you, no one had ever cherished the life of a Yuri. I am just something that is considered to carry a curse.

But you treated me differently. Living with Yora and the other Tengu members made me know what it means to be with people.

Thank you for accepting my existence. This time, let me give my most precious strength to protect the people" Yuri said steadily.

" yuri.... "

Yora started to approach Yuri. And hold those two fragile shoulders. There was no cold spot on either of Yora's dark beads. Yuri was stunned, for the first time she saw Yora so warmly looking at her. The bead as dark as night was now sinking into Yuri's ruby bead, the two of them just stared at each other in silence.

" I appreciate your decision, Yuri. Then, I will begin the process of removing the stone from your body.

Yuri just nodded in understanding. His gaze could not be diverted from the tall man in front of him.

......................

The extraction process begins. Previously, Mirai made a magic seal on some point of Yuri's body. It aims to make the strength of the pillar weakens, and does not explode out when the extraction takes place. Some medical knives Mirai prepared as well.

Yuri sat back to Mirai, while Yora still faithfully held onto both of Yuri's shoulders and sat cross-legged right in front of her.

"You don't have to worry. Mirai will make the process faster. If you feel any pain, you can hold my arm. "fresh Yora with her signature flat expression. Butbsorot worried never separated from the beautiful figure in front of him.

" This view, wait a minute...... What is this tacky situation? " murm Mirai

Mirai who saw the scene in front of him felt astonished. Why does it feel like helping the labor process of a couple who are still angry-pussy? Heh! Mirai was sure there was something between the two people.

" I'll Start! Get ready!" said Mirai who reciprocated the nod compact both

Mirai starts activating her Gyokunya. This time he did not use Kenkou. It was because his healing power was so similar to the power of a pillar stone. Kenkou would have no effect at all in this situation.

Mirai decided to use her ice magic. First, he frozen the area around where the stone was embedded. Making the blood flow on part of Yuri's back stop. Mirai's power began to be felt by Yuri, the red-haired girl could only bite her lips while enduring the pain.

Freezing worked.

"I'll start the second step. Get ready, it hurts more than ever! "

Thin sweat flooded Yuri's forehead. His body began to shake violently, as Yora suggested he began to clutch the man's sturdy arm.

" Hold, Yuri! " Yora started encouraging Yuri. Although in a state of pain, Yuri could still smile while nodding slowly.

Mirai begins to activate her gyok, this time using her soul-sucking power to weaken the seal that Oro-ryu planted on Yuri's body. Special seals are planted to protect the stolen pillar stones from Yuri, which makes the process of releasing the stones complicated.

With Mirai's soul-sucking power, the snake scales that filled Yuri's back began to disappear bit by bit.

" Agh! " Yuri was shaking slowly, she felt her back skin burn and flake off. Not only that, because of the strong seal, some organs in Yuri's body began to be torn apart. It caused fresh blood to come out of his mouth. If it could be compared, the torment he received was even equivalent if one were to be thrown into the coals alive.

On the other hand, Yora began to have no heart to see Yuri suffer. He was about to transfer his energy, hoping that by consuming a bit of his life energy, Yuri would feel a bit of pain. But it was seen by Mirai.

"Hey! Leader, don't try to transfer your power to Yuri. If you do that, my entire effort will be in vain! " hardic Mirai

" Then what can I do. If it was like this, Yuri could die from the pain! "

Mirai breathed a heavy sigh. Honestly just this time he saw Yora being excessive. The ordinary man was calm and calm, even when the sword hung down on his neck. The careless man acted with a cold head, But why did Yora turn rash now?!

" You may not know, women are much better at enduring pain. Unlike men, we are powerful beings! "

Mirai started picking up medical knives. Kenkou starts to get in his hands, with his magic Mirai begins to coat the blade with healing powers.

" This is the last step, prepare Yuri. "

Mirai was about to make a tear on Yuri's back to remove the stone. However, just as the blade was about to touch Yuri's skin, Mirai suddenly stopped her action

" What's up? Why did you stop suddenly?! "

Mirai looked at Yora fixedly, a meaningful smile engraved on her face. Previously, Mirai had already told Yora, that the process of retrieving stones in Yuri's body is safe if Mirai himself did it. After all Mirai's medical techniques had already surpassed normal humans.

Mirai deliberately lied, that during Yuri's appointment could have been killed, all he did to find out Yuri's determination. Mirai wanted to know as seriously as Yuri said to give the second pillar stone. And Yuri has proven. But seeing Yora panic, Mirai's jail nature grows lushly.

"This time, Yuri will feel 10 times more pain than before! " mirai said full of lies. It changed the look of Yora's face instantly. The plate-looking man successfully made Mirai pale.

" Just do Mirai. I'll try to answer it! The arkh! " Yuri tried to endure the pain in her back. Mirai turned back to the knife.

" T-wait a minute! Is there no way to reduce the pain?! " Yora suddenly intruded

" There! "

" W-what is that? "

Mirai tried to hide the smile on her face. Honestly, the process this time was far from pain. Yuri had already successfully undergone the release of the seal, which meant that Mirai only needed to take out the embedded stone as usual.

But..... Mirai will make that different.

"Quick say Mirai! "

" The leader is sure to do it? "

" Of course, whatever it is" said Yora quickly. It turned out that he was the same as Aora, being careless when faced with something she liked.

" All right! Then, quickly hug Yuri! You know, sharing Yin and Yang energy will ease the pain! " Mirai spontaneously uttered an absurd reason. He was just saying the origin and it just came out of his sneaky brain.

" I-that, I don't think Mirai should. "say Yuri Samabil tried to set the foundation.

Yet...

Grabbs....

Yora directly supported Yuri's body into her arms. Seeing that, Mirai could only open her mouth wide. No way!

" What are you waiting for! Quickly do it, Mirai. " Yora tightened her embrace.

Still with the condition of Super Shock, Mirai easily took out the green-colored stone toska. The three pillar stone finally came out from Yuri's body. With her Kenkou, Mirai immediately closed the wound and healed Yuri

" I'm done, you can. "Mirai's words stopped.

Seeing the two people in front of him hugging each other tightly, made Mirai slightly misbehaved. He feels like a mosquito that interferes with other people's romantic moments.

" Ahem... Should I go out first? This situation, it makes me go awry! Aish! "
