Or it's because you subconsciously fear what you are is the reason why you keep yourself in a constant state of suppression." Guruma asked, finishing her recovery as she twisted her head back into place. Rubbing her stomach she could still feel the sharp, throbbing pain of your soul attack.
"I got no reason to answer either of those questions." You growl, resuming fighting form as you feel the form becoming more natural. You didn't give yourself to anger or any of Guruma's temptations. You needed to remember the principles of Mushin. A calm mind and a still heart. Those were vital for you to take full advantage of the sound mind, body, and spirit your ten years of training have honed. While your power level didn't increase once, your experience was a whole other dimension from when you first started.
"My, you're being quite uncordial with your cold responses. Are you that frightened at the possibility of the secret to your strength slipping out." Guruma teased, reading her guard as she kept her eyes on the prize.
"You took my grandma's body. That punch I delivered on you assures me that my discerning senses were right on the money. So forgive me if I don't feel like entertaining a demonic bodysnatcher." You cooly answer, gripping your fist as you spread your foot forward.
"You really should learn to sweat the small stuff. Let go of your worldly attachments and allow yourself to become one with the void." A sinister smile appears on Guruma's face as a similar aura starts to exude from her body. But it was naturally corrupted by her dark influence, thus giving it a blackish-blue outline over the darkened white inner aura. "Once you discard those bothersome earthly tethers, I'm sure you can live up to your full potential."
"Tsc. Perverted as it is, that's my grandma and master's Second Stage of Mushin, Meikyo Shisui." You frown, tensing your body as you strengthen your guard. "You really sank your fangs deep into her body."
"Well, you DID force me to deepen my possession of your precious grandma if I want to have any chance of beating you. It's such a pain since if I go any further, I'll be unable to leave this body. Too closely attached and thus forcibly incarnated into her." Guruma laments with a bemoaned sigh, rolling her shoulders with a shrug. Slowly making a crooked, demonic smile as she took a stance. "But, I suppose there's worse fate for me. If that is what it takes to acquire the dragon balls along with the dragon jewel. Then so be it. I'll devote my whole being and everything it entails to this possession."
"I won't let you!" You cried, kicking off the ground with tremendous speed as you sprinted towards the glowing Guruma.
"Even if that means...killing your grandma?" The monochrome-haired woman smiled, momentarily causing you to falter in your next Jajanken strike.
