Kurama
Born and raised a demon thief,
He plundered all the land.
In Makai, the Demon Realm they said,
None beat Yoko's band.
But one fine day, something occurred,
Yoko met his match.
He fled to the human world and hid,
And infant's mind he'd catch.
He lived in the body of a little boy,
For close to fifteen years,
His power lay dormant; he enjoyed his life,
For then he had not many fears.
But some would say he'd grown too weak,
He got a soft spot for,
The human who raised him, and showed him love,
And taught him so much more.
For this was why, when she grew ill,
He wished to save her life,
He joined with Hiei, and Gouki, too,
They all forgot their strife.
They stole three demon artifacts,
Kurama took the Forlorn Hope,
To offer his life to save his mom,
But then he did not cope,
That the one who chased him, would help him too
Yusuke risked his soul,
But neither died, Kurama's mother was spared,
And that's the story to be told.
Now Kurama is a loyal friend,
And companion to Yusuke, too,
The dreams that lay ahead for them,
Had started to come true.
