Re: Selene and Kurama
"The stories would have it that I came from the Makai, but I've never told anyone where my journey began. Not even my partner." Rumors about Kurama were rampant amongst youkai and the residents of Spirit World, and had been for hundreds of years. "My life as you see me now began in the human world, as a way of cheating death. This body is human. I am not." A mortal form was useful camoflage, though Kurama's human identity had become so much more than that.
"You must miss them. I'm sorry that you have waited so long to see them again." Kurama would not want his own family to follow him through the rift. They would be too vulnerable, and the risk that he would have to confess the truth to his mother too high.
