history

    ▪ Once known in the Makai as King of Thieves, he had a close call while being chased down by the SDF (Spirit Defense Force) and was forced to retreat into the human world. Forsaking his Demon body for the time being, he fled into a human body - his soul is still hidden within the body for safety reasons; and perks.

    ▪ At first he didn't remember his human memories. It took him until the age of seven for his demon soul to fully awaken and his powers to start emerging to the surface.

    ▪ According to Koenma's records, he met Hiei when he was fourteen years old. Having been out with a friend of his named Maya, the encounter with the short fire demon lead to a battle in which case the fox lost track of his human friend. When he noticed she was gone, Hiei explained that there was a demon by the name of Yatsude kidnapping and devouring human girls. The two created a 'truce' of sorts and began seeking out the demon to save the girl. Though Kurama later figured out that Hiei wasn't helping to apologize for making Kurama lose sight of the girl, but for his own selfish ambition of finding his sister.

    ▪ He kept in contact with Hiei for the next two years. They were a struggle for him, being that his mother had come down with a terrible illness. This illness drove the woman to be hospitalized and it drove Kurama into considering a desperate plan to save her life. When he mentioned to Hiei that he wanted to steal the Forlorn of Hope from Koenma's vault, the fire demon was more than happy to help the fox demon out with this task so long as he could steal an artifact for himself as well. In order to create a distraction for Koenma's new 'pet' - the spirit detective - Kurama suggested that they look for a demon in the area to deal with the spirit detective. Thus a 'truce' was created with the demon, Goki, but only for the means of a brute willing to be slaughtered for the sake of saving his mother's life.

    ▪ When he saw Hiei steal his desired artifact, he was well aware that he would have to help Hiei out with this task... but he couldn't afford it. Promising the fire demon nothing, he stole the artifacts and began his plotting for how to out smart the artifact he had stolen. He didn't want to stop living, but his mother's life had become more important than his own in the years of staying with her. By the time they'd gotten comfortably back in the human world, Goki had made a show and drawn in the new spirit detective's attention. Upon doing so, Kurama thought of an idea. If the detective didn't die, he would use the detective's 'kind heart' and human tendencies to block his own soul from being sacrificed fully; even if he lost his demon memories, his human ones would still exist and it was enough to make his mother happy.

    ▪ Doing just as he had thought, the detective ended up saving his life. The mirror was then given to Yusuke as a thank you for helping him save his mother's life. From that point on, he'd been involved with Yusuke and tied down to the human world by Koenma.
