Working alongside of the Yoko Kurama can be a bit of an adventure - at least he’s always thought so. They’ve had some near misses, and some close calls that it’s never boring to be around one another.
... unfortunately, eventually, it’s one close call too many.
Having barely survived his near death encounter, he’s not surprised that Yoko thought he was dead - he thought he’d certainly been at death’s door himself. However, due to the incredibly long time it’s taken for him to recover? He hasn’t approached the other again. It’s been a difficult struggle - from his wings been riddled with holes to, in general, being unable to get far fast... surviving has been a struggle. After all, his near death encounter left him barely able to defend himself. The rest of the time he needed to recover wouldn’t come easy... or fast.
When he finally did recover, he wasn’t as strong as he once was. So? He gave his former partner distance - especially having seen the other had sorta changed his life style. He knows the old sayings about falling into your old crowd, it tends to reverse your behavior. And if the other has changed his ways, he doesn’t want to be the reason he falls back into step - however? It hasn’t stopped him from coming to events where Kurama has been. Such as going to the Dark Tournament and watching from afar.
