Prince for a Day

Summary: When Koenma has to go away for a while, he asks Yusuke to take over his position as Prince for the day. One day is more than enough time for Yusuke to create mayhem or at least almost get killed. What has Koenma done??

Disclaimer: I don't own the YYH people. No matter how much I wish Kurama was mine.... He's just not. So now you can't sue me and besides, what would you get?.... NO! NOT THE MAYONAISE!!! ANYTHING BUT THE MAYO!!!

A/N: Ok, this is something I came up with in the middle of the night (literally) when I should have been sleeping but couldn't with the idea and blah blah blah. Sorry if Yusuke's a tad out of character but he had to be for this thing. Enjoy!!

(Yusuke is Koenma's office after receiving an urgent message)

Koenma: Thanks for coming, Yusuke. I'm glad you could tear away from your schoolwork.

Yusuke: You better be happy. You see what I do for you? I could fail because of you but I'd rather help. I sacrifice so much for you (tears up)

Koenma: (not impressed) I'm touched.

Yusuke: So what's up?

Koenma: Well, it seems that I'm going to on a business trip with Dad and I needed someone to take my place as the prince of Reikai. It'd only be a day but it'd be great if you could do it.

Yusuke: So, you were in a jam and came to me first, huh?

Koenma: No, actually I went to Kurama first. He was busy. And so was Genkai and Keiko and Hiei and Yukina and Jin and Touya and Atsuko-

Yusuke: You asked my MOM to help?!?

Koenma: Yes.

Yusuke: Before me?

Koenma: Yes.

Yusuke: But she's a drunk!

Koenma: Yes?

Yusuke: (under his breath) Geez, he must hate me. (to Koenma) What about Kuwabara?

Koenma: Do you actually think I'd let him run Reikai for a day?

Yusuke: Er... well, I did, right up until you said that... and now I'm not sure.

Koenma: Forget it. You're the only one left and I've got to leave tomorrow morning. Can you do this?

Yusuke: What? Accept a request where I might have to sit in a big, cushy office and boss people around while hanging out with local celebrities? Are you kidding?!

Koenma: I'll take that as a "yes".

Yusuke: Take that as a HELL YEAH!

The next day....Yusuke is on a desk with Ogres and ferry girls swarming around him as he stands in a heroic looking pose)

Yusuke: And finally, as your Prince, I will tighten the belt of this government around the waist if indifference and reckless spending. So what if I meet up with a few hot celebrities? Just remember, a penny saved is a penny earned and the early bird catches the goose that laid the golden egg.

(APPLAUSE)

Yusuke: Even if it is only one day, I'm going to make sweeping changes to make this place the apple of this world's eye, a silver lining on a dark cloud, a short walk down a long pier. I'm your man, in your government, in your city! (Roaring applause starts again) I thank you. Thank you! Oh, thank you!

Koenma: (Pulls him off the desk) You're not giving a presidential speech, Yusuke, just telling them that you'll be taking over for today.

Yusuke: I did what you said, just tweaked it a little. It never hurts to be a little more enthusiastic.

Koenma: (sighs) Botan! Take Yusuke to my office and get him started.

Botan: (runs up to the two) Yes, Koenma, sir! Right this way, Mr. Urameshi.

Botan: That was quite and interesting speech you made, Yusuke. Especially the part about tightening the belt around the government's waist.

Yusuke: Well I meant every word I understood.

Botan: (giggles) I'm sure you did. You know this is going to be a big day for you. And if you make the most of it, I'm sure it'll be a great learning experience and something you'll never forget.

Yusuke: If I have my way, Reikai won't forget it either. I'm serious about this Prince stuff.

Botan: Well here's your office, sir. (opens the door to Koenma's office)

Yusuke: Whoa! I never realized how huge Koenma's office was.

Botan: I think you'll find out that as Prince, you'll need a lot of room to work.

Yusuke: No kidding. You could rent his desk out to a family of four.

Botan: (giggles) you'll get used to it,

Yusuke: So what do I do first?

Botan: Well, I assume that you push the button on the intercom and ask Ms. Primblush to come in.

Yusuke: Ms. Primblush??

Botan: Well yes. She's Koenma's secretary and Girl-Friday.

Yusuke: Yeah? So who helps me on he other six days?

Botan: (laughs) No, Girl-Friday means she's your assistant and will help you with anything you need.

Yusuke: I thought Jorge did all that.

Botan: No, he's just sort of there. Ms. Primblush is his official secretary.

Yusuke: And she'll help me with anything, huh?

Botan: Well, you're the Prince.

Yusuke: Muahahaha!!!!

Botan: (nervously) Don't get too excited. It's only one day. I've got to get back to work. Those dead souls won't gather themselves! Drop by and see me if you get the chance, MR. Urameshi.

Yusuke: Maybe I will, MS. Botan..... So just push the button on the intercom. Right. (pushes the button)

((A/N: When someone starts talking from the other side of the intercom, it makes a sound like a buzzer. Now you know they're talking on the intercom when the buzz comes before their speech))

Ms. Primblush: (buzz) Yes, Mr. Urameshi?

Yusuke: Could you come in here please?

Ms. Primblush: (suddenly in the room) Yes, Mr. Urameshi?

Yusuke: (jumps) WHOA! How'd you do that?

Ms. Primblush: Do what, sure?

Yusuke: Never mind. I was told you could get me anything I want because I'm the Prince, right?

Ms. Primblush: Correct.

Yusuke: Ok, first I want a Bat phone. You know, the one that puts me straight through to King Yahma.

Ms. Primblush: We don't have one of those, sir.

Yusuke: (puts his feet up n the desk and leans back in the chair) Put one in, I want to invite him around for a coke.

Ms. Primblush: I'll fill out the appropriate forms. Would you like to discuss today's schedule now, Mr. Urameshi?

Yusuke: My schedule? Ok, when do I meet with all the local celebrities?

Ms. Primblush: I'm sorry, sir, but we don't have any celebrities on today's schedule. Or in Reikai for that matter.

Yusuke: Then put that next on the list, right after the hotline is installed. I want a hot female celebrity in here on the double.

Ms. Primblush: I see what I can do. But back to the events of the day.

Yusuke: Well, what am I supposed to do first?

Ms. Primblush: You're supposed to assign the next Spirit Detective case.

Yusuke: Well, I AM the Spirit Detective so I'm giving myself the day off from that.

Ms. Primblush: Oh, and Mr. Minamino wishes to speak with you.

Yusuke: Alright, send my car around.

Ms. Primblush: Excuse me?

Yusuke: You know, my Princely car complete with a chauffer and two chicks in business suits telling me what a great Prince I am.

Ms. Primblush: I'm sorry, sir, but we're in the midst of severe cutbacks in finances.

Yusuke: So what do I have in the meantime?

Ms. Primblush: A bike.

Yusuke: A BIKE?!?! (falls out of the chair) You mean they traded in the car for a BIKE??

Ms. Primblush: It belongs to my nephew. He's renting it to us.

Yusuke: This sucks. I gotta ride a bike around and I'm the Prince!

Ms. Primblush: It was all part of your plan to tighten the belt around the government's waist.

Yusuke: I meant everybody else's waist, not mine!

A/N: Well, how did you like it so far? Yes, it's coming along slow but there's still more to come. I've got the whole thing finished on paper so it's all done unlike my other fics (which I usually stop in the middle unless it's a oneshot.... Which most of my fics are)

REVIEWS PLEASE!!!
