Kurama and the Amulet of Truth

Kaori frowned. "Who are you? And how the heck do you know about me" she said.

"I didn't tell you my name? How rude of me! I am Toyamo," he said in his deep voice, bowing. "And I have something else to ask me, if you won't tell me how to work the amulet. Why did you transform into a human? You must have had a purpose. You don't seem like you would have given up your demon self unless you were forced too."

Kaori looked surprised, then suspicious. "Why would you want to do that?" she said cautiously.

Toyamo shrugged. "No reason, except for my curiosity," he said, still smiling.

Kaori was still frowning. "Well, I guess I'll tell you. It's not like I have anything better to do, anyway. And I doesn't look like he'll wake up anytime soon," Kaori said, looking over at Kurama, who had turned back into Suichi and was still out cold. "It all started after I stole the amulet. I noticed that I was getting weaker and weaker whenever I was wearing it. I went to someone who knows stuff like this about it. She said that the amulet was sucking my life force! She said that the only way to survive was to escape to the human world. I didn't like that idea, but it's not like I had a choice, right? So I had to accept."

Toyamo frowned, as if considering this. "The amulet was sucking your life force, I knew of that, but how did you change?"

"Well, the lady suggested many ways I could do that, one of which was to implant myself within a human body," she said. "I chose that way, but during my crossing over from demon world, the hole started to shut before I was ready. It cut of half of the amulet."

Kaori held the amulet up and, indeed, it was missing half. "I hid in the body of a human girl. My soul didn't combine with hers, and I'm not sure she even noticed me. But I still had the amulet. The girl's mother found it and, when she died, gave it to her. But the amulet had regained another half, because the other half is still in Demon World, so the amulet can only use half of its powers."

"The other half is still in Demon World!?" Tomayo exclaimed.

"I suppose that would pose a problem for you if you want to access the true powers of the amulet," Kaori said calmly.

Tomayo stomped his foot. "Hell yeah! I've got to go there right away! And I'll take you with me!" He grabbed Kaori and hopped out the window. They were up high, but it didn't matter because Tomayo could fly. As they were flying away, Yusuke came up the stairs with the other two.

"What happened?" he said when he saw all the rubble. And then he noticed Kurama on the floor. "Kurama!" Yusuke yelled, running towards him. "Wake up!" he said shaking him.

Kurama came slowly into consciousness. "Yusuke? Where is Yoshimi?"

Then Kuwabara spoke up. "She's flyin' away with this guy!" he said. The other ran to the window only to see Tomayo and Kaori disappear.

A/N: Sorry it was so short! And sorry it took to long updating, too. I've been really busy. I'll try to come up with the next one ASAP! Please review!
