I do like the idea of Kurama's anger and sadness expediting Goshikuro's recovery time, though it still seems too soon for an altercation to happen. Though I recall us wanting to have a fight, Goshi maybe retreating to then kidnap Shiori and cue Kuwabara and the others to come to Kurama's aid in the final fight?

Kurama allowing Yoko to surface is a risky choice, though I'd also believe it's not a state he can endure for long periods of time as Yoko is only just now able to change forms after the tournament. I assume whoever Yoko catches will be killed and the demon would then just go to another body. I was thinking two main henchmen but were you thinking just one?
