Considering Kurama can *fight* with his hair, I'm sure he has absolute control over whatever seeds he keeps in there. A sack can be stolen or dropped. Even if an enemy cuts off his hair, the seeds are probably kept close to his scalp in little folds of hair - ready to be released any time he wants. I doubt he even has to pick them free when he showers - they won't grow just by getting wet because they need his youki to sprout, and if he can use his hair like a tail in battle I'm sure he can use it to release tiny 'seed pockets' with thought alone.

I'm betting one of the reasons he grew his hair out in the first place is to make up for not having a tail. His long hair is good for a weapon and for weapon storage. But it makes you wonder where Youko kept his seeds, and whether he fought with his tail or his hair when his hands were weighted in battle. I'm betting both. ;p

Actually, considering some of the things I've found in our shower drain, maybe it wouldn't be all that surprising.

You'd think a sack or a pocket would be easier for carrying those things around.

Omigosh, it reminds me of the time our shower got clogged up and my dad made me reach in and clean it out....looked like a beast....it might have been the death plant but i dunno i was just afraid that it might bite me or somethin lol.

Interesting, except Youko had long hair, too. And I don't think I've ever seen Kurama's hair used as a weapon. (He did manage to activate the rose whip with no hands one time, so it was wrapped in his hair. That might be what you're thinking of.)

Good point on the sack.

Kirara_Kitty, that sounds a lot like the thing I pulled out of our shower drain.

It even moved on its own!

Wow that's disturbing Brigid. I'd be scarred for life. The thing I pulled out looked like a cross between Kurama's plant and the grudge.

It scared the shit out of me lol.

Well, I'm fairly certain it was moving because of uneven drying.

... Still ...

I guess it's just one of those things that will never have an actual answer (unless of course, the creator gives us one). If he doesn't need to take the seeds out, I'm sure he'll manage to wash his hair easily even though it may look it to us. And, if he needs to take the seeds out, well, being the plant master and all, I'm sure he'll manage to take it out simple enough.

Hm...I'm pretty sure he has a way of attacking an opponant with his tail somehow, he did it with his hair (and hair are suppose to be much softer and uncontrollable unlike the tail).

Actually, speaking of plants, it reminds me in an episode where Kurama and the gang (without Yusuke because he was kidnapped by HUMANS

) entered a house. And, in order to pass through the first stage, he created an environment that looked like a jungle and made a face to make someone laugh. I've always wondered, what kind of face did he make? I tried picturing it but...that's as far as I got.

The creator probably didn't show the face Kurama made because it might have ruin everybody's personal image of him. Or he could have done it just to tease the viewers and to keep them guessing. Just seeing the little bit of Kurama that they showed was good enough for me. It was frickin hilarious

Oh man. Just trying to picture Kurama with a silly face.

Especially one good enough to send glasses boy into soul-ejecting fits.

I feel fan art coming on.

I doubt the creator did it so it wouldn't ruin the image of Kurama, to me, nothing can ruin the image of Kurama

Ah...I can only picture it in my head...but I can't draw

Oh yeah, i know which episode you're talking about, the one where they entered this house and no one is allowed to say the word "Hot" or else they lose their soul. That's pretty cool might i add ^^ But i don't remember Kurama ever making a face....or am i getting the episodes wrong???^^;

Anyways, .....Brigid, Kirara_Kitty, i'm starting to wonder if there is anything that DOES live down the drain....... maybe there are monsters
