#Re*kai Tantei Yuk*mura Ke*ko

[fighting-these-demons]

Another AU idea :

What if instead of Yus*ke dying it was Ke*ko?

(Whoops. Forgot the Read More earlier.)

Her death was just as unexpected and she's given the same option.

What if the timeline of events was slightly different?

To give Yus*ke powers I'm sure they'd have worked together and found a way to convince Koe*ma that Yus*ke's Spirit Energy should be unlocked for him so that they can work as partners.

What if the connection between the Kuw*baras and Spirit World and Makai is brought into greater detail and Kaz*ma still ends up joining her? (Although tbh Kaz*ma would follow Yus*ke to Hell and if Ke*ko is going Yus*ke is definitely going so that might not be necessary)

What if the story was Yus*ke and Kaz*ma being her sidekicks and she was the main character?

What if her very first mission was to rescue Yuk*na?

What if H*ei and Kur*ma still joined the team? But out of order.

H*ei sees them saving Yuk*na and helps during that mission and decides to kind of hover around in the shadows checking in on them all and helping occasionally.

Kur*ma still organizes the heist but instead of H*ei, who he's seen working with spirit world agents he just convinces some other demon into doing his bidding.

Forlorn Hope situation pans out the same essentially and Kur*ma helps set things right and joins from there.

And then we have the G*nkai training arc where Ke*ko convinces G*nkai to train Yus*ke too and she convinces Yus*ke by not being entirely honest about how difficult it is.

She says that it's the most difficult experience that she's ever been through (and with the team forming missions so far: that's saying something!) , but that it was entirely worth it and that Yus*ke will need the training for future missions. Ko*nma and B*tan agree so Yus*ke eventually relents and agrees to do the training too.

And that's all true.... She just conveniently leaves out the horror stories so that Yus*ke actually agrees. 🤣 She knows in her heart that if she can get through it that he can get through it too. She's always looked up to him for his strength and resilience and his willingness to put himself in harms way to protect the people he cares about (granted that's basically just himself his mom and Ke*ko but still, Ke*ko knows his heart!) so she doesn't feel too torn up about the omission.

Yus*ke's pissed during training of course and gives Ke*ko an earful when he gets back. 😂 But he's also happy to join her in bragging about his new abilities to Kaz*ma.

Little does Yus*ke know or expect that G*nkai will be training Kaz*ma eventually too. 😂

Ke*ko has a feeling that it's important to G*nkai that she trains Kaz*ma but Ke*ko's not quite sure why that is; other than maybe G*nkai seeing a lot of promise in Kaz*ma.

Heck Yus*ke would have been the second choice. His spirit power is MASSIVE as a result if his -unbeknownst to him- demon heritage.

Ke*ko is definitely behind in a few areas but she manages to get through everything because it's my au and I said so dangit! Maybe she has a secret powerful priestess lineage lost to time or something that helps her out Spirit Energy-wise sort of like Kag*me in In*-Y*sha.

ANYWAY.

G*nkai stays as an alternate and coach for the Da*k Tourn*ment.

There's probably more areas with plot divergences and the like but I wanted to write this down before I lost it

I just liked the thought and wanted to share.

It's a Yuki*iko Kuw*meshi and possibly Kuwakinakeikomeshi YuYuP*lycule situation for ships.
