OK, I bought the movie and I thought Kuronue was cool. And since I didn't
want him to be dead, I wrote this. (I'm a believer in happy endings. -_-)

Kurama sighed as he walked down the street. Lately, he had been thinking about the past, as in his past life, to be more exact. Pulling out the pendant from around his neck, he looked at it with sad eyes. It took him a few decades but he had learned to accept the fact that his partner and best friend were dead. But then the event with the nether world happened and he truly thought that Kuronue was still alive. But that wasn't Kuronue, but it was his pendant.
That had made him wonder. Could Kuronue still be alive? Till two months ago, his answer would of been no. Then a strange turn of events happened. And before he knew it, his mother had seen his demon form and had taken it very well. In fact, she seemed relived by knowing it. After that he made every one else show their demon forms and powers and that went well even by Hiei's standers. Anything seemed possible these days.
Which brought him back to his original question. Was Kuronue alive? And if he was, where was he? How was he doing? Were they still friends? There were so many questions, no answers. That only made it him feel worse. Kurama looked down at the pendant in his hand. It seemed to be glowing in the moonlight.
Letting it fall back on his shirt, he started back home. When he got there, his mother was waiting in the kitchen with two cups of tea. She saw him walk in and smiled.
"It's getting late, I was worried. Tea?" She gestured to a cup of tea on the counter.
Kurama smiled. Finding out her son was a Youko demon hadn't changed her actions toward him. Much. "Thank you mother."
Shiori smiled back with a hint of sarcasm in her voice and took a sip of her tea. "Anytime Kurama."
Kurama spit out his tea. Shiori looked at the expression on his face. Eyes wide, mouth hanging open, usual calm gone without a trace. It was a very funny site to behold. "Mother, you know I'm not used to you calling me that."
She giggled.
"And it's not that funny!" Seeing Kurama pout was adorable.
"Yes it is!" At that point, Shiori broke out laughing and Kurama joined her. After both calmed down, she noted the pendant that her son was wearing. "Where'd you get that pendant? It's pretty."
Kurama looked down and saw his old friends blood stone pendant. "This?" Kurama was a little hesitant. His mother knew about his past, but this was a delicate subject for him. Then again, talking about it might help him clear his head. "It belonged to Kuronue, old friend and partner of mine."
"What happened?"
Kurama sighed.
-Flash Back- Things had gone well. They had stolen the mirror with minimal problems. At that moment Kuronue and me were jumping through the bamboo trees making our getaway. Then Kuronue's pendant chain snapped. He jumped back to get it.
"Don't! Kuronue!"
"I need it!"
-End Flashback- "We were stealing a magic mirror from the demon palace and its chain snapped and fell to the ground. He went back for it and."
Shiori looked at her son. "I'm sorry for bringing it up "
"No, its ok, I've been thing about it lately."
Shiori looked at her son. Then an idea popped in her head. "Son.I know the chances are a million to one but do you think your friend is still alive? From what I can tell, demons live quite a long time."
Kurama looked at his human mother. He never really realized just how well she was taking the demons, and spirit world thing quite well. "I was thinking about that. I really don't know if he's alive or not. Or where he'd be if he was."
Shiori thought for a moment. "Why don't you ask, Konema no wait.Konima.that not it.Koenma? That it! Why don't you ask him? He might know."
Kurama stared at his mother. After all the time he spent thinking about it, not once had asking Koenma for help come to his mind. Needless to say, Kurama felt very, very stupid. "Why didn't I think of that?"
Shiori had a funny look on her face. "I though you were smart, son."
"That wasn't very nice mother."
"Sorry, now why don't you go to bed and check with Koenma tomorrow?"
"Thank you mother. See you in the morning."
