During the first few days of his stay in Demon World, Kurama mentions that Shiori had remarried sometime in July of that year (she was actually on a month-long honeymoon for all of August when Kurama had made his trip to Demon World), both her son and Kuwabara in attendance, and gained a step-brother named Suichi (named Kokoda in the English dub), the son of her new husband, a man apparently named Kazuya Hatanaka, who she met while she'd been in the hospital due to her illness.
