He came in, mayde his presence know, gave a stoic glare as he lead Kurai towards the back of the room where he's able to drop the act.

"Gotta be an easier way t' come and see ya..either way.. I wanted t' come and give ya this." He said as he handed her a bento, within it she'd find herself a delicious fried pork meal with rice and chopped veggies.

"Also that crack about bein' my sex friend last night...that was really all in the moment..ya really don't have t' drop yer skirt everytime ya see me..though I'm curious..throughout the day there are only two place I ever find you..work and home. Isn't there somethin' in between?? Like a hobby?"

UNPROMPTED

The moment Kurai drops the 'act' she was surprised to receive a homemade bento. "O-oh.... Thank you" To think he went out of the way to bring her lunch. It was quite nice of him. Was this homemade too?

"O-oh well.... I-I do have a hobby bu-but I usually just keep it to myself... I-I actually have an in-interest in the occult a-and magic..... Takashi d-doesn't like it when I m-mess around with the stuff." She admits shyly as she holds the bento close to his chest.

It's been ten years and Koenma's coup against his father had finally seen some fruition. He was now appointed the new spirit king and that tyrant of a father of his was no longer in the picture. He had sent a message to Makai immediately, as the promise he'd given to Keiko and Yusuke both. There was a meeting place where Yusuke should arrive at. Hi and Keiko had written about that beach outside of the city countless times; however, they remained there..all day until the sun had already set, but Yusuke was nowhere to be found. Everyone had arrived, and Kurama had been given the most logical information. 'The distance between the rift and tourin's imperial city is a four day hike. Perhaps that would explain everything.'

To everyone else, it made sense, but it was still disappointing because Yusuke himself said that the day Koenma was coronated as king, he'd be there. From the outside, it looked as if Yusuke was just as tardy as he's always been ten years ago, so disappointed that everyone else left their separate ways. Once Keiko had returned to the restaurant from the back. "Oooh welcome back honey, you're just in time. This one big shot ordered soo much food. Literally two of everything." Her father said as she's given the big tray to balance half the bowls he'd asked for, and the moment she arrived at the table she'd see the person who made the order.

"Yo Keiko." He sat and raised his arm with a smile on his face. "told ya, the second Koenma became king, I'd be here and pretty much have a feast fit for a king. Whoa..the years been nice t' you. I see you grew out yer hair again, it looks great."

UNPROMPTED

"This jerk.... I wouldn't put it past him if he forgot the day.' Keiko sighs before she threw a pebble into the water out of frustration. Knowing him he probably got distracted helping someone or he got himself into trouble. Again...

When the group eventually gives up, they all made a promise to contact each other if they manage to run into him.

When she gets home she was surprised to see her parents busy cooking, strange there wasn't that many people up front, who could they be making so much food for? She takes the tray from her father with ease before she takes it to the back expecting a small party. Only to be surprised to see just one man.

Wait.... what was he saying? Was this—

"Yusuke?!" She almost didn't recognize him. He was so much taller now and more muscular. The only thing that managed to key her in was his voice and those brown eyes of his.

"AGH!!!" The man's body flew straight through the door and his body would skid against the floor as it stopped at the drawer within him and his wife's room. The perfect place where he hid that beautiful wife of his as though she was a dirty little secret. The mazoku looked onto her..she wasn't normal..not like any human either way..but unfortunately, he needed to steel himself.

Luckily for the yakuza the woman's husband had been far too scared to noticed he was sent through a door and was unharmed (yusuke's healing as he's giving damage. Guilty conscience.)

"Look I'm not in the mood t' be breakin' fingers and noses t'day. But yer husband?? He's been late on what he owes. Gave him two extensions. Yer pretty, I bet yer also smart. Tell me..what'd I gotta do t' make sure he really gets the message? That I'm not playin' around here?" He stood before his wife, hands in his pockets as his eyes gaze into her own. "If I break 'im down he won't be able t' work and that's bad for anyone, if I give him another warnin' that makes me look like a chump..so what do I do? Maybe you could be the one t' convince me t' give him another extension."

UNPROMPTED

"T-Takeshi!" She gasps in horror seeing her husband fly across the room. Kurai attempted to leave the bed to run to his side, but within seconds the loan shark was standing in front of her, blocking her off from getting to her poor husband entirely.

"I-I....." She stutters as she looks around with her eyes, trying to come up with something to say to save her husband. But she knew there was no way out of it. This was entirely his fault. Kurai's warned him. Time and time again to not borrow money from the Yakuza. She loved him but she knew he wasn't good at managing his money, which is why she was supposed to be the one who handles their finances. Or she should but apparently he's been going behind her back and pulling out money when he shouldn't have.

'Dear Keiko..never thought I'd actually have a penpal...pengirlfriend? Either way it's been a year since I saw ya and not t' get all mushy but I missed ya. There's a lot that's happened after the tournament. My pops' friend won..oh wait Koenma told ya all about that already. While I'm here i'm helping out on a project to expand land in the imperial city, we're going to be buildin' homies out of makai-mahogany..and lemme tell ya that stuff's solid. It's like our concrete. ..I wonder how tough their concrete is here..either way maybe by the time I get back I can build our dream home.' He scratches that out too. "What am I sayin'..no tellin' how long i'll be here..she'd probably have moved on by then." He spoke softly as he continued writing. 'I had Kurama send puu here because at the very least in Makai he'll be able t' spread his wings since ya know he's gone through his growth spurt. Either way I'll write back once I did enough t' wanna tell you about.'

--- LOVE YUSUKE

UNPROMPTED

Keiko carefully read over the letter. She couldn't help but giggle at the little bits he had crossed out. Reading these letters... It almost felt like he never left. She's thankful to Kurama and his connections or she might not be able to communicate with him like this.

'Dear Yusuke, I heard all about it. I wish I could have been there to cheer you on in person. But I'm glad to here it sounds like a good guy had won. It's still crazy to think you're technically royalty. When you come back will you come here riding a demon steed in a suit of shining armor? I'm kidding you don't have to do that. I'm fixing to graduate high school next year. It's gonna be tough going to college without you... It's even lonelier without Puu here to keep me company. If you're stuck there for a while... You think it would be possible to make conjugal visits? I miss you a lot.... Auntsuko and my parents miss you too. I hope to hear from you soon.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 family by choice/found family

Relationship Types

OKAY BUT; let it be both!

Jotaro can be extremely protective, but he does trust Yusuke, so I don't think he'd mind actually having a son-in-law. But also; found family/family by choice just hits right, for a lot of reasons. He definitely looks at Yusuke like a son ( even if he'll never outright admit to that. )

A man stepped into the store and he's bought a wrestling magazine, but he couldn't help but notice the woman behind the counter seemed..upset. Those eyes were definitely bloodshot. "You look like you were crying, I can tell you right now, he's not worth it. Specially not someone pretty like you." (random yusuke father encounter)

UNPROMPTED

"I-I" She was taken off guard by the man's face. He looked so familiar.... But the thing is, she couldn't tell if he looked so similar to a man she once met or the man she currently knew. "Thank you... I appreciate it, but he's definitely worth these tears. He's the best thing that ever happened to me .... And I'm pretty sure I ruined everything." A sigh leaves her lips as she notes the wrestling magazine. Huh, he even had similar tastes. What a small world.
