Meeting Rui had been unexpected, but not nearly as unexpected as somehow finding himself invested in another total stranger on this world. Something about him felt lonely, and Kurama couldn't leave him on his own like that, in good conscience.

As they walked toward the café and the vulpix took the lead, he sent a message to Kuwabara informing him to meet them there if he was available. Once he had confirmation, his focus turned back to Rui as the building came into view ahead.

"We'll be meeting my travel companion there, he should be along shortly."
