.o.O.o.
"Goodness, Shippo, you've become just as crabby with age. You're acting like Inuyasha when he doesn't get his way."
Shippo shut up immediately. He opened his mouth multiple times but no sound came out. Finally, he grumbled, "I do not."
"You called him 'Yoko' before. Is that his real name?" Kagome tilted her head in confusion.
"Yes, although I've always known him as Kurama. I have been told that his human name is Shuichi Minamino."
"His demon name is Yoko Kurama," revealed Shippo from his sulking corner. "He was a powerful kitsune, but he disappeared years ago. We all assumed he was dead, but his aura is unmistakable. Shuichi Minamino is Yoko Kuram, but I don't know how that's possible."
Kagome fiddled with her blanket as she thought about this information. "Shuichi, or rather Kurama, said his was a fox avatar and that his human body also houses a demon soul. I assume that is Yoko. He never explained his story though."
A/N: Btw, I wanted to clear up Kagome and Kurama's relationship. Kagome and Kurama see each other as friends and mysteries to be solved, nothing more and nothing less. Yoko sees Kagome as a prize to be won. So far, no one has caught feelings.
