NOTE: I DO NOT have ANY CLUE of how Mukuro, Yomi, or Raizen act. So please bear with me! I also have no idea of how Yusuke's meeting with Raizen goes, so I'm giving how I think it happened, so if you don't like, don't read!

... Names of people in a council (if there is one) along with a basic personality and political stuff about the country would be nice if you could supply them!

Yusuke's POV

I glowered at Tjiyan and Chu, who were still smirking about the incident a few minutes before. Taking a deep breath, I glanced at Touya. "So... How've you guys been since the Tournament?"

Touya smiled slightly. "I have been fine. Chu has been itching for another fight with you; Rinku desperately wants you to show him more techniques and Jin... Well..." He glanced at the Wind Master. "Jin has just been dying to see you. "

I raised an eyebrow and looked sideways at Jin, who was currently playing with Rinku, with Tjiyan and Chu laughing at their antics. "Glad it was not literal."

Touya smiled slightly.

A few minutes later, we entered the palace. "Oh... And just so you know... Suzuka and Shishiwakamaru are here as well." Touya quietly informed me.

I held back a snicker. "You mean the pompous, narcissistic samurai that needed a personality transplant and the clown who wore that ridiculous pink suit?"

"Tha's them." Jin grinned, somehow detaching himself from Rinku, who was holding onto his leg.

I smirked evilly. This could be interesting...

"The suit was NOT ridiculous!" Suzuka glared at me as he came out from an adjacent hallway.

"Sure it wasn't." I replied, scathingly. Then, deciding to lighten the mood, I grinned. "Seeing as how the Dark Tournament is over, why don't we start fresh? From what I heard, you did a favor for Kuwabara and Kurama, so..." I stuck out my hand and let my grin turn into a genuine smile. "I'm Yusuke Urameshi."

He glanced at me for a moment, seeming a little shocked, then shook my hand. "The Beautiful Suzuka." I barely managed to keep from commenting about the 'beautiful' part. "And THAT-" He jerked his other hand towards the blue-haired, magenta-eyed samurai sulking in the corridor- "Is Shishiwakamaru."

"Nice to meet ya." We let our hands drop to our sides. "So... When am I going to meet Raizen?" I asked all assembled.

"Now, if you like." I turned around to see the said demon.

I stared. The first thought to cross my mind was 'he looks like a guy from some heavy metal band...'. As if sensing my thoughts, he smiled and walked up to me.

"You must be Yusuke. Koenma has said many things about you."

"Most of them are about how insubordinate I am, right?" I asked, smiling slightly.

He laughed. A deep sound, a genuinely amused one. "Some of them." I like this guy already. "The majority of them actually were praising you."

I raised an eyebrow. "Did the baby have a fever when he was saying this?"

The others snickered, while Raizen chuckled. "I would not know. We were communicating through the screens." So Raizen has something similar to the screen in Koenma's office? That would explain how he knew I was coming.

He suddenly got serious. "Yusuke, I need to speak to you. Privately." I nodded.

Glancing at the others, I grinned. "When I'm done, you'll get your rematch, Chu." Said aura alchemist grinned.

"Wha' 'bout me!" Jin indignantly glared at me, though his eyes told another story.

"You'll get your chance, Jin." I smiled. I cocked my head slightly in confusion when he suddenly blushed and turned away. Shrugging it off, I followed Raizen to the throne room.

In Throne Room

Raizen and I sat across from each other at an Arabian style table. We sat on cushions facing each other across a low table. "What do you know of your parents, Yusuke?" He asked suddenly.

I blinked. A rather personal question, but... Whatever. It had some relevance, or Raizen wouldn't be asking. He seemed like a no-nonsense type of guy. "My mom, she's a human. My dad... He was obviously a Battle Demon. And what from I know of Battle Demons, you are the only full-blooded one that has been alive for the past several hundred years."

He nodded.

I took it as a sign to continue. "So... My only logical guess, along with Koenma's choice to have you as an ally, would be the fact, I am guessing, that you are my father."

Raizen nodded again and smiled slightly. "Koenma said that you were intelligent. Good. At least I won't leave an idiot behind as an heir."

I glared at him. "You speak as if I have no choice in accepting your lands as your heir. Do you not have another child with Battle Demon blood?"

He shook his head and sighed. "No, Yusuke. My kind's blood is highly recessive, but very powerful. I have had many children, Jin among them, but none have inherited my bloodline. And only Battle Demons can rule."

I closed my eyes. Me, ruler of the Kyokai andRaizen's lands, and the only heir on top of that. This could get complicated.

"So... I take it I am also here to learn how to rule a country?"

"More or less." Was Raizen's reply.

I took a deep breath and slowly let it out. Who would have thought, me, Yusuke Urameshi, top dog of Sara Jr. High, Spirit Detective, was heir to a third of Demon World? The masses would be so pleased.

Seeing my reaction, he started to speak again. "Yusuke, lessons won't begin for another three days. Acquaint yourself with the palace and market. Get any business you need to get done, finish it. And when the time is up, I'll show you everything you need to know. In fact..." He paused. "I'll show you everything I know. In exchange, either when I die or think you ready, you'll take the Throne. Is this acceptable?"

I looked him straight in the eye. "Do you expect to die anytime soon?"

He shook his head, white hair fluttering from the movement.

I closed my eyes for a moment. All in all, this information didn't surprise me, for I had expected it to a level, but I did not really want to rule a country as it went into war. But... If I didn't agree... Chances were that I would never reach my full demonic potential. The only thing known about Battle Demons outside of this place was that they loved battle, hence the name. And Raizen was old, so if he meant to show me everything... I opened them.

"I agree."
