The Times That Were

In Kurama's world there were two classes. The one's who had power and the ones who stole from the ones who had power. And so Youko began his life.

Stealing to live.

It was then that he first met Kuronoue. The spirit fox was wary of the approach at first, and then he saw the advantages of their combined effort. It was great. Better that he had expected. Until the death of Kuronoue, Youko would not have changed a thing.

Fighting to steal.

Yet what could he do? This request asked of him by Yomi was unexpected but not uncommon. In the years since Kuronoue died he had many demons come to him. They asked him for a chance to live. In this way he had started a gang of thieves.

Living to steal.

Then he realized that, because of Kuronoue, he had high expectations. Yomi just did not have what it took to be a thief. In an intricate move, like in a game of Go, Youko eliminated Yomi. In the aftermath, Youko was tired. Mentally from all the planning. Physically from all the running. But when that hunter came he found that he couldn't't give up. He just was not ready to die. So he did the best he could. Escape from the pressures and the pain. The soul of the spirit fox swiftly running across the dimensions to the human realm to a sanctuary he never could reach.

Dying to live.
