-King-
Urameshi, Yusuke was king of the demons. The next tournament had come around and long gone, leaving him as the victor. Like every great king, he needed a kingdom, Demon world. It was his playground, his home away from home and backyard now. He also had an advisor, the only demon he knew that know this world like the back of his flaming hand, Hiei.
The only other demon he would trust his life with was Kurama, his informant that traveled from plain to plain, mortal to demonic. The soul that stood behind him, a human, the unlikely best friend was just that, his support, his sparing partner and friend to bitch at and with. His queen was Keiko, another human, one he would give his very life for.
In this long three years as king, he watched the world unfurl before his eyes. He was there when his best friend tied the knot, in mortal terms and celebrated wildly on the demon side. Kuwabara married Yukina and there was not a thing Hiei could have done about it.
Yusuke laughed at him during the months he sulked over the whole ordeal and even afterwards. As Emperor, when Hiei mopped, he commanded that his advisor be cheered up. Kurama was more then willing to oblige. He had his foxish ways, a kiss here and there and the marriage was long forgotten. But, that idea never left his mind. He wondered if…when his rein was over if that was what he wanted to do with himself and his adoring queen.
Towards the end, he began to wonder what kind of a ruler he was. What was a king without his crown? He may have everything else a king needs but truly pondered if he found that golden metal, adorned with diamonds. His last night, while reminiscing all memories under the moonlight, he finally found his answer.
The souvenirs he would take back with him strung together like a crown and encrusted in the gold were rubies, emeralds and pearls, all representing his friends. He was King Yusuke and his father would have been proud.
