Kurama woke up to find Yoko and Kuronue leaning, bored, against the wall.

"You guys can quietly stay in my room all day." Kurama said, earning a look of horror from the two demons. "Just kidding. You can go out as long as nobody sees you and you don't hurt any humans."

Yoko and Kuronue immediately opened the window and jumped out, Kurama sighing as he looked at their disappearing forms before getting ready for school.

-----------------After school----------------------

Kurama walked out of school heading for the park. Walking slowly through the park, he breathed deeply, the grass rustling on either side of him. He could sense that Yoko and Kuronue were nearby. If only he knew what they were talking about.

"You know, this place isn't too bad. Sure, we can't go around stealing stuff, but it's so peaceful." Kuronue said, relaxing on a tree branch.

"But they sure seem to know a lot about us. And it was strange when Shuichi hugged you. Have you ever met that demon before in your life?"

Kuronue shook his head. "But it's strange that you both have the same attacks and fighting style."

Yoko nodded, staring up at the sky, currently at peace with the rest of the world. "We should ask him tonight. I know we've never met him before, but he just seems familiar. Like I've known him my whole life."

"I wonder why his friends call him Kurama." Kuronue said, deep in thought.

-------------------That night----------------------

Yoko and Kuronue jumped into Kurama's room to find him looking through picture albums. When he saw them, he shut the album, allowing them to see the title, 'Dark Tournament' before he pushed it back under his bed.

"Shuichi, we have some questions for you." Kuronue said, leaning on the wall next to Yoko. Kurama looked up at them.

"What questions do you have?" he asked politely.

"One, why do they call you Kurama? Two, what type of demon are you? Three, why did you hug Kuronue?" Yoko asked as Kurama sighed.

"My friends call me Kurama because they say I remind them of you. I hugged Kuronue because I knew him from a long time ago. You probably wouldn't remember." Kurama said, ignoring the second question. Yoko was about to ask it again when the phone rang, saving Kurama from his interrogation.

He picked up the phone. "Hello? Oh, Yusuke. Yeah, give me a second." He said as he pushed the two demons outside. "Stay." He said to them, going back inside and picking up the phone again. Yoko and Kuronue, though, could hear every word of the conversation. Well, at least Kurama's part.

"Yes, I'm fine. How about you?...How did he die? Why do you want to know?...I see. Well, I might as well tell you. It was quite a few years ago. We had just stolen another artifact, a mirror. Running out of the palace, we were chased by guards. It seemed that we were going to make it, until his pendant broke. He ran back after it, and got stabbed by bamboo rods. With the last of his strength, he told me to run, to save myself.... What do you mean by that?...Yusuke! Our relationship wasn't like that! Don't you have to go annoy Keiko or something?...Yeah, I'll see you later." Kurama said, hanging up the phone. "Sometimes I wonder if Yusuke actually tries to be annoying." He muttered.

Yoko looked at Kuronue. "Do you think he was talking about-?" he said, pointing to Kuronue.

"I don't know. But if he was, then, apparently, I'm dead." Kuronue said.

"But the only way that's possible is if this is the future." Yoko said.

"I think we're just being paranoid. We should just forget the whole thing." Kuronue said as Yoko nodded.

"Yeah, forgetting it is probably the best thing to do."

It's short, sweet and to the point... that's because the next chapter will probably be long... Please review!!!
