Hey guys! Looking at my recent drabbles I've realized that I've focused on Kurama/Hiei a lot lately so to mix things up, this week I wrote a Koenma based drabble (Don't get me wrong Hiei/Kurama will always have a place in my drabbles but I've been neglecting the rest, they are still my "mains" though). He's an interesting guy and after flipping through some old Yu Yu Hakusho volumes and episodes I decided that he deserves a little love this week. I tried a little humor at the end. What are your thoughts? Also thanks to every who faved and alerted me this week. I hope you all enjoy this one.
ladyasile: Thank you for all the kind words! You seem to be my only reviewer nowadays. I really appreciate it, all your reviews make my day.

Outsides Vs. Insides
Looking in the mirror of the temple guest room Koenma couldn't help but laugh inwardly. In his teenaged form with his Jr. marking he looked stoic. He looked strong and capable. He looked…
He looked like a prince.
Koenma smirked. What a load of (as Yusuke would say) "crap".
He was not rightfully a prince. In blood he was, but in manner?
Not in the least.
How could he reserve the right to be called "Prince"? The title demanded more than he could offer. It demanded good judgment, responsibility, and power.
He sighed. And look at what a mess he had made.
His father had assigned him a simple task. A simple task.
All he had to do was to pick a pure and powerful human to protect the Human World. His first choice went without a hitch. His second try, he had picked a human on the verge of a psychotic break. The third time around, he picked someone he believed to be the exact opposite of Shinobu.
Yusuke was laid-back and a procrastinator, but had more raw power than a human should have. He didn't see the world in black and white, but in shades of gray. In truth, he sounded like the worst person for the job. Koenma smiled. He shouldn't have been surprised to find out he had some demon in him.
Yusuke was the ultimate detective. He had even cleaned up the mess with Shinobu. And then his father had tried to kill him. He had saved the entire human race from catastrophe (more than once) and his father had the nerve to try and dispose of him. Then he finds out his father had purposely leaked demons out into the human world to wreak havoc. That information had caused Koenma to heave his lunch because he was so wracked with guilty ignorance.
At the time he was unable to do anything.
On the outside, he was an adult, but on the inside he was still a child.
But now, now he could do something. Because something had to give and he had changed. He would soon be the same inside and out.
Koenma grabbed a scarf and started to head outside.
It was time to pay daddy a visit.
