A.N. This whole story is just my theory, honestly I don't really know what happened.
Announcers voice at the beginning of the show:
Yoko Kurama, or at least that's who he was before it happened. What? you ask happened, well no one knows exactly all you've heard is that he was pursued and then severely injured by a strong enemy but now we'll know the whole story, what really happened!
Yoko Kurama is running for his life from his enemy, he turns his foxy head to look over his pulsing shoulder to see if he's lost Her. That's right his enemy is female. He catches something out of the corner of his eye as he is turning his head, it draws his attention and he turns his head further. His legs almost give out as he takes in the full aspect of what's chasing him. It's like looking at a raging forest fire, a huge red griffin is bearing down hard on him but, not just any red griffin this beast had been around for millenniums, she had learned how to control every element, unimaginable power, and wisdom to match her age. And right now she was focusing all this on one thing: stopping him. He had stolen the most powerful artifact he knew of Nemesis' Wheel Of Fortune.
This might not be what you think it is, this is a small medallion, roughly the size of your palm, with a triple yin yang symbol on it. The three sections on it are of the purest white, black, and gray. These are the fragments of the three griffins of Nemesis, who is the goddess of retribution. These three griffins turn Her wheel of fortune and are thus in control of fate. In the center of the medallion is a smaller circle, this spins when one touches it, and decides the fate of whom ever it it decides. It doesn't make big decisions, at least they don't seem to be big ones at first, such as: so your car didn't start and you couldn't get to work, it seems small but, when this happens on 9/11/01 and you worked at the world trade center, I'll leave the rest up to you. All this power is mounted on a plain gold backing and strung on a strong but plain looking chain, and right now it was around Yoko Kurama's neck.
Unaware of it, Yoko Kurama hadn't noticed that the medallion had flipped up and bumped the underside of his chin and started to spin. When it stopped Yoko Kurama tripped over his own feet, his pursuer caught up to him, and the game was over, flashes of fire and electricity, pain filled his mind and body as every last ounce of sense and strength was beat out of him. He plummeted into the human world injured so badly he doubted he'd see his spirit form again for a long time.
Kurama awoke with a shout and found himself in a cold sweat. It took a while for it to register where he was. He was not at home, and he hadn't just come back from a raid either, he was on his way to a hidden prison were someone from the spirit word would go if they were banished from there and considered highly dangerous. It was somewhere on Hanging-Neck island or so he had heard.
He sighed. He remembered Hanging-Neck island and the Dark tournament and the time he reverted to his true form after Ura Urashima unleashed the power of the Idunn Box. He wanted that power back, which was why he was going to this prison, to see someone that could possibly help him get it back.
He had been looking through the archives at the Spirit World offices and found a very thick guide book about the Labyrinth Caves of Periculum written by San. He had heard that at the end of the Labyrinth Caves of Periculum was what one desired most one would receive, even if it went completely against the laws of nature, physics, time, and what not. He had to find San and he had to get through the Labyrinth Caves of Periculum.
The gentle rolling of the ocean against the sides of the boat lulled him back into a peaceful sleep and he thought no more of Yoko Kurama, San, the Labyrinth Caves of Periculum, or of the fateful event that happened so long ago.
