Woman
I never thought my life would turn out this way. When I retreated to Living World I expected to be able to leave just as easily as I came. I never imagined a human could change that or change me for that matter.
This woman has taught me to be selfless and how to care for others. It's hard to believe that the callous and cold Yoko Kurama and I are one and the same.
At first I despised her. Even though I was an infant I still had Yoko's consciousness. The way she would coo at me made me ill. Being held in her arms was torture. Once I was older I was able to get away from her and spend time to myself which delighted me, but she would always find a way to worm her way in.
To be perfectly honest I saw her as a nuisance until that day. Without a second thought she put herself in harm's way so I would not be hurt. No one had ever done anything like that for me before. From that day forward I respected her. Respect soon turned to love, or what I assumed was love my former self never knew what that emotion was.
My feelings grew more and more each day and when she fell ill my heart began to break. I never thought I would risk my life for a human, but when the opportunity presented itself I took it without a second thought.
I don't regret my decision to stay in Living World, if not for her I wouldn't have the friends I do now. This woman has given me so much and has never asked for anything in return. She is my world and I would do anything for her.
I Kurama have known love, and Shiori is her name.
