...He came back. You mean to the human world. He didn't stay to enforce the peace? He didn't claim...

...

Who rules Makai right now, Kuwabara? Do you know?

[machizumo]

what the fuck man?

Enki.
Never met the guy obviously, but i guess he's pretty square. Old friend of Raizen's or some shit.

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO TOLD ME THIS SHIT....

[roseblooms]

...Not precisely me, it seems. A version of me, perhaps.

The last I remember, the power struggle was still in full force. No ruler had yet been decided. Naturally I hadn't ruled out the possibility of vying for the crown myself, but...I suppose some part of me always assumed, deep down, that the future king was inevitable.

I seem to be lagging behind, Kuwabara. The events you're describing haven't happened for me, yet.

[machizumo]

Aw crap the time travel stuff's real. I hate this even more now.

well urameshi wore yomi down so this other dude won. Now we're all gonna give coexisting a shot for a while apparently.

[roseblooms]

For what it's worth, I appreciate the confirmation that I live long enough to tell you the outcome of the conflict's resolution.

Perhaps it's for the best. I think he would've made a fine king, but he deserves the opportunity not to be one.

[machizumo]

He'd make a lousy king and you know it.
but i guess you're also thinking in demon terms and maybe demons like things shitty sometimes?? Honestly can't figure that one out.

Anyway yeah he's back in town. That whole hurdle's done for now.
I don't know what's gonna happen later but maybe it doesn't apply to me either way. I got shit to do.

[ aka He definitely doesn't care. Look at how much he doesn't care. ]

[roseblooms]

He'd make a terrible administrator, is what you mean. In that respect, I agree with you completely. But what would've made him a competent king is that —

Well. That I imagine we all would have followed him.

You're not upset that you weren't a part of the power struggle, are you?

[machizumo]

No. Felt shitty at first but what the hell am i gonna do? what's a human need stake in the demon world for?

So it'd be kinda dumb huh? To think that I could've kept going like i was.

[roseblooms]

I suppose you might have sought to install yourself as supreme ruler of demonkind so that no one could challenge you when you ask Yukina to marry you. That would be a valid use for the throne, I imagine.

[AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE.]

1/2

[machizumo]

wait can they DO THAT??

[machizumo]

no wait that's stupid YUKINA GETS TO PICK ANYWAY SO

Anyway i could still beat em.
And Yukina's staying in the human world now so that's that

[roseblooms]

Oh, it's very customary in demon marriages. Typically the would-be bridegroom fights off at least three challengers before he makes it to the altar.

But I'm sure you'll be fine.

[machizumo]

WELL YEAH cause that's not gonna be a thing!

Yukina's already staying with us and demons ain't supposed to start shit so there! if she wants to stay, she can stay and can't nobody say nothing!!
