Welcome to my blog for Minamino Shuichi / Kurama / Yoko Kurama of Yu Yu Hakusho!
This blog will be largely based upon the anime series, at least until I am able to read the manga and, at such point, I will reevaluate and decide if I would like to create an amalgamation from both sources, as well as my own personal headcanons. It is also slightly divergent, at least in terms of the ending.

I swear that I intend to pick up Kurama again, but it will probably be over at the sideblog for now: @stilladamnedmartyr , so if anyone wants to write with him still, that will be the best bet.
Will this be the return to my anime bullshit when I finally finish out the blogs for Howl and my Bebop people? Who is to say! Kurama, @thegreatsesshomaru, @intheheartofariver, and @workalittlemagic are all currently wide awake, however.
As my replacement laptop is old and doesn't care for supporting multiple windows up at once, I am creating a sideblog for Kurama that runs in conjunction with this one. One does not replace the other.
I will likely not carry threads from here over just so that the threads aren't split between blogs but I will be starting new threads over there if anyone is interested.
The next time I am in a solely or mainly YYH mood, I will be back on here at the main. Until then, for friends and those I miss writing with @stilladamnedmartyr is my sideblog I'm setting up so that I can write Kurama again because I miss him. The main blog it is on is @fivedecisivefactors, a RP account for Tseng of FFVII.
I still live and I still love Kurama. My Overwatch muses just currently own my brain—at least what little brain power I have at present that isn't spoken for by work and trying to finally get this damn house sold. I am so Tired. 🔥😂🔥
“There you are Kurama, was wonderin’ if ya had the time t’ get some christmas shopping with me. Also you can tell me whether your mom will love the gift I made for her…alright Keiko helped out too. Let’s say it’s a sorry-I-couldn’t-make-the-wedding three-years-ago kinda thing. That we can pick up after we’re done shopping, it’s a big photo album book. Keiko made the cover kinda rose-y. It’s filled with pics of all of us, some of you and your mom and the family.” It was something Yusuke had been cooking up for quite some time now, even had gotten his stepfather to smuggle him other pictures of Shuichi and his mother.
liked for a starter / @adamnedmartyr
“I believe that Mother would like that very much, Yusuke. What a thoughtful gift for both you and Keiko to have made!” he answers, a small but sincere smile appearing, his entire demeanor seeming brighter.
“Of course, I would be happy to accompany you with your shopping. Who remains on your shopping list? Perhaps we have some people in common, and we might exchange ideas.”
I don't know who this positivity anon is—as is the point—so I can only hope you see this, but I have three messages of yours in my inbox and I can't even bring myself to answer them yet because I appreciate seeing them so much, particularly right now.
Just know that I am not ignoring you in the slightest. The messages have meant a lot as they have been a bright spot in each day they've arrived, and you are wonderful for taking time from your day to send them to myself and to others in the community. Thanks, Positivity Anon.

❝ what’s the matter ?❞
@inunisshoku
“Word must travel quickly for you to be here,” the fox forces out, a deceptive upturn to the corners of his mouth that some might take for a smile.
The sharpness to his gaze despite his difficulty in focusing on the one before him, as well as the tautness to his muscles as though ready to run or to fight despite the not insubstantial amount of blood staining his clothes red… or the way he barely stands, leaning against the tree for support… these things would betray him to one so observant as Sesshomaru, eliminating any notion that it might be a smile gracing his face rather than a mere step before he bares his teeth––if necessary.
It is a dangerous proposition to approach a wounded animal. No matter how strong one might be.
“Do you mean to remove a thorn from your side then? Is that the reason for your presence? Or were you–– simply in the area by chance?“
His intention to leave stilled when he heard Yoko speak of an alliance.
An alliance, for what reason? Clearly it must be important for the thief to align himself with someone stronger – otherwise he would not have suggested it. The slight turn of Sesshomaru’s head in his direction indicated that he was listening. Whether or not he agreed was another thing altogether.
When Sesshomaru pauses in his movements, almost as though seeming to wait for whatever statement would follow, regardless of his silence, Yoko understands it for what it is, and certainly when the other looks ever so slightly toward him.
Only one of them has been known to be chatty when the mood strikes, and that one is not the daiyokai.
He does not wait for any prompting to continue.
“Surely you must know that I would not make such a statement without proper thought, lest I offer insult to one of your station,” he says, giving Jaken no more than a glance before he fixes golden eyes upon Sesshomaru once more.
“… My network of thieves has brought word of new blood moving into the region. From what they gather, these yokai possess an object of ancient and considerable power. Perhaps enough to create an imbalance among our kind…”
Only now is there a pause, a brief debate against himself as he weighs the necessity of sharing such news against the likelihood of it doing little more than angering the other. In the end, there is little choice. He braces himself for whatever reaction might follow though how careful he is to keep his expression neutral, his voice even.
“… From what I understand, if left unchecked, it would perhaps be enough even to challenge you, should they grow over-bold.”
The hesitation following that statement is far shorter, lest the words be left to fester.
“While I am not such a fool as to question your ability or your prowess in battle… it need never come to such a point were I to have your assistance in this very simple matter: I mean to remove the object from their possession.”
Word had it that a thief had broken into the sky-born residence his Esteemed Mother resided in. What was stolen, he hadn’t heard of the specifics, but it may have been notable if its disappearance caught someone’s notice. He had a slight idea of who was the culprit based off the rumors flitting about a legendary thief who had been thieving from all sorts of individuals. Without any real rhyme or reason connecting all the robbed items, he could only guess that this was an act of sport.
Curious, he’d sent word out to those who answered to him to seek information on this ‘legendary thief’ to track him down so they could have a talk. It would be best if the thief, who he theorized was thieving for sport, would return the item without any trouble. If not, Sesshomaru was not shy about hounding after someone until he’d accomplished his goal. His incessant hunt for Naraku for the sole fact of insulting his honor was testament to this.
A report of a sighting was all he needed to travel to the outskirts of a bustling human settlement. Perhaps there was someone here who the thief had set their sights on. He casually scans the area, looking for anything suspicious. The only thing he knew for sure was the fact that unless human technology had advanced without his know-how, their kind would have been unable to travel to his Mother’s abode. The thief had to be of spirit or of demon kind.
It isn’t difficult to note the one wandering at the outskirts of the village from his place up in a tree at its border. The strange scent of him carried through the light summer breeze is enough to single him out, nevermind his singular appearance.
The one who was seeking him.
His purpose, at least in part, is not unknown to the legendary thief. After all, that strange figure is not the only one who has little shadows who will inform him of matters that interest him––especially when his name is being whispered about by potentially threatening parties and questions are being asked as to whereabouts.
It was no coincidence that the information had led the other here, far from any of his actual haunts where he might best be observed and, if the situation merited, confronted with as little inconvenience as possible.
Yoko is no fool to so easily be ensnared. This one will soon learn as much, how-ever this may end.
Not yet willing to give up his advantage of seeing yet remaining unseen, he remains in his tree, watching and waiting, deciding what is to be done next.
