The redheaded Kurama sat meditatively on a park bench. Suddenly, he felt something inside him split. He stood, and immediately was split into two different people. Kurama stood in his Youko form, staring at an even more feminine looking than normal Shuuichi.

"Who are you?"

"I'm the owner of this body, you (bleep)-head."

"Whoa, my dreams are censored..."

"No, just me."

"What's up with your voice?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's more high-pitched than normal."

"What the (bleep) are you talking about? That's your voice in my body, smart one."

"Listen up, wise guy; I've had about enough of you."

"I'm not a guy!"

"What!?"

"I. Am. Female."

"No you're not!"

"I've been letting you borrow my body for 16 years, because I'm that nice and unterritorial, while you gained your former strength. But now that you're back to your former strength, I want some time with Mom before I have to leave for college."

"..."

"Ok, let me put in simple terms. If you hadn't decided to assume my identity, I would have been born female, like I am in this dream world. I'm 16 now, and want my body back. I do have the power to get it back, even if you're uncooperative."

"No way in hell am I giving you back your body! I'm not recognized by demons, which gives me a distinct advantage!"

"Oh sure, it's all about advantages, isn't it? Well let me tell you something!" The red-haired girl yelled. "Every demon in every world knows you no matter what form you take! You've blown your (bleep)-ing cover, (bleep)-hole!" Youko Kurama was taken aback. "That's right! And if you (bleep)-ing get yourself (bleep)-ing killed in my (bleep)-ing body, I die too, (bleep)-hole!"

"Hey, I haven't gotten killed!"

"Yet. How many times have you ALMOST died!?"

"Not many."

"Really? Let's see...when you were younger and Mom got hurt saving you from a broken dish, that's one...and the whole Forlorn Hope incident, not that I mind you wanting to sacrifice yourself for Mom, that's two...and during the Four Saint Beasts, when Genbu almost cut you open, that's three...and the guy with the makeup during the Dark Tournament, that's four...and when you fought Touya in the Dark Tournament, that's five...and after you passed out, when Yusuke had to save your heiney from the guy who was going to kill you, that's six...and your fight with Karasu, that's seven..."

"Ok, I get the point. I can be a little bit reckless at times."

"Reckless my heiney. Those are just the times I can remember off the top of my head. There's dozens more. You know what your problem is? You relish in the knowledge that you now have two bodies, and if one dies, you can always go to the other one. You think you're immortal, don't you?" The red-haired girl's green eyes blazed with fury. "Well let me tell you something, Mr. Fox Demon: you're not, and neither am I! You need to learn that you can't always depend on others to bail your heiney out of tight spots. Now you were lucky 16 years ago when you came to me asking for help. But I...want...my...body...back!" Female Shuuichi screamed, and her rant echoed in Youko Kurama's head as the two merged once more, and he fell out of the dream world.
