Kurama is more complicated than Kenshin it seems haha. I do see them as a ying and yang of each other. I do think Hiei preferred to keep the company of Yoko, than of Shuichi himself. So if we do bring in Hiei as a foil in the future, there could be conflict between them and their differences in viewing humans and relationships.

That sucks but some people aren't talkative sadly so sometimes it means you gotta take control. 

Shikamaru is just a lazy Kurama. XD But I also think they're both good with tactics, though Kurama is probably fine with being around people where I think Shikamaru may lean towards smaller groups or no company at all. Though now I'm imagining Kurama, Sakura, Shikamaru and Botan cloud gazing together on a wide open green hill after school. ^^;

I'm also gonna be hitting the hay in about 5-10 mins but I could text for a bit while I wait to go to bed. I gotta head into school early and finish some extra credit so getting to bed early would be best.
