Omi accompanied her father and brother to [[Outreach]] in 3051 and there met [[Victor Steiner-Davion]]. Affection and a close friendship quickly developed although both knew that a marriage would be politically impossible. Although Omi's brother [[Hohiro Kurita II|Hohiro Kurita]] objected to the relationship at first it was eventually a contributor to his own friendship with Victor.

Theodore and [[Hanse Davion]] discussed the relationship and decided that although a marriage was impossible as things stood that their wives would not approve of interference. Later in the Clan Invasion, when Hohiro was trapped on [[Teniente]] by Clan Nova Cat, Omi appealed to Victor for assistance in a rescue mission. Theodore permitted this but in exchange required Omi to break off contact from Victor. However, in honor of Victor's rescue of Hohiro, Takashi Kurita appointed Omi to administer a fund to pay for the education of the children of the Lyran Guards who fought with Victor, tacitly permitting her to resume contact.

Omi visited the Federated Commonwealth in 3056, visiting [[Kai Allard-Liao]] on [[Solaris]] and also meeting Victor's brother [[Peter Steiner-Davion]]. She aided Kai in averting Peter's intended invasion of [[Free Worlds League]] space. She then accompanied Theodore to the [[Whitting Conference|First Whitting Conference]] on [[Tharkad]] and had several private rendezvous with Victor.

When Victor visited Luthien in preparation for [[Operation BULLDOG]] a number of assassins attempted to kill them during a private rendezvous. Omi killed at least one of the assassins by decapitating him with a ''katana'', although Victor was severely wounded. Following this, Omi attempted public suicide in shame that her feelings for Victor had led to such opposition but public support for her and her father's reforms made it unnecessary to proceed (although the attempt was staged, had support not emerged she would have followed through).

Omi consummated her relationship with Victor following this and when Victor was dethroned by his sister [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]] he made his home with her until he joined [[ComStar]].

Following the private marriage between Omi's brother Hohiro and [[Fiona Kurita|Fiona]], Fiona and Omi evidently became firm friends; when the marriage was finally revealed in [[3079]], Fiona would recount how the two of them had supported each other during the war against [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]].<ref name="J:FRp35">''Jihad Final Reckoning'', p. 35: "Heirs To The Dragon"</ref>

===Death and Afterwards===

===Death===
She was assassinated with fulmitoxin during the [[Federated Commonwealth Civil War]] by the [[Dancing Joker|same person]] who murdered [[Melissa Steiner]] and [[Ryan Steiner]], under contract of [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]]. She secretly gave birth to Victor's child before dying in [[3064]]. Omiko's death caused Victor to emotionally break down and stall military operations of the FedCom Civil War for one year.

Decades after Omiko's death, her son Kitsune Kurita became a Knight of the Republic of the Sphere. Members of the Black Dragon Society, in a desperate move to find a pure-blood Kurita attempted to install the man as the Coordinator on the Draconis throne. However, Kitsune revealed a massive bombshell that Victor Steiner-Davion was his father. Shocked by the revelations of this news, members of the Black Dragon Society committed seppuku for attempting to put someone of Davion linage in charge of the Combine, while the Federated Suns slandered Omiko unfavorably in Davion space.
