Summary:Dear Book, I am now in dismay. The world of which I have known for so long is gone and now I am in the company of two humans, two demons, and the grim reaper. Lord help me. What should I do?

Disclaimer: Me no own YYH....


Dear Book,

Ok, it’s not every single day I write in a stupid book that’s called a journal but now, there’s not way of getting around it. Oh man, the image I first saw when I woke up almost killed me. I did, however, scream. And I woke up the whole household and I was pressed against the wall and everyone saw me in Kuwabara’s room. I bet you that some people were getting crazy ideas, even Kuwabara himself. They tried to get me to talk to them. I could tell by their movements and gestures but…I don’t understand Japanese. Which ensures that no one here can read this book.

And so you wish to know what happens next, oh dear book? A backpack, my backpack to be certain, falls onto my head and then crashes onto the floor. I was nursing my head when I realized that I had my valuables in there and they might get ruined or worse, smashed. I snatched back my bag (which was in Kurama’s hands) and ran from the house. Ok…I didn’t leave the house. I got lost in it. Honestly, the place is huge.

Yusuke was the one that caught up with me first and sent me to the ground. I now regret taking my CD Player, which didn’t break but jutted into my back hard. My spine is still sore from it. So I stayed in the house, not knowing what anyone was thinking, or saying for that matter. Every time I walk into the room Yusuke chuckles and Kuwabara looks at me with these eyes. Kurama only smiles and Hiei just ignores me completely. Botan tries to get me to talk but gives up after three hours.

I ate dinner with them. It was amusing for me. Yusuke and Kuwabara were exchanging insults at each other (I could tell by their faces) and I even heard Hiei call me a Baka Onna or whatever when I took the last roll. Thanks to my friends I know that this means ‘Stupid Woman’. I grimaced at him and Botan makes this huge deal out of me understanding what Hiei said only that’s pretty much the extent of my Japanese knowledge. Oh…and how do I know all of their names so quickly? Botan called each and every one of them by name when I was discovered in…you know.

She soon gave up on me talking after that. As for where I am now…in a secluded room I dubbed my ‘Hideaway’ I doubt anyone could find me here. Oops…I’m wrong…Kurama just popped in here, in this room. Got to go, bye.

Hey, It's me here. You know, I was really tempted to put my name here instead of Haley...oh so tempted. So, how do you like? Bet you're wondering why Haley's there and how she got there is she is American, don't worry readers, you'll find out soon.

Dear Book,

It has been three long days since I have updated my life in this poor excuse for a journal. Oh...what a three days it has been. Let me start at

Day One:

I woke up that morning, thinking I was still in my room, in my own bed. But, alas (and to my great disapointment), for all of my precious...well...not precious but all of my Hilary Duff posters were gone from the walls of the room of which I am staying in. Then the horrible memories of the day before came flooding back to me. And do you want to know which memory was the first one that popped into my head? THE ONE WHERE I WAS IN KUWABARA'S BED! That was the second time I had to wake up to the horror of his face in the same number of mornings. My life really must be the best thing ever to hit this planet. After that happened twice I am beginning to wonder if my mornings would ever be rid of that tantalizing horror. Anywho, I rose from the bed and peered around. My backpack was by the door. Oh it's navy blue glory, safe from harms way. Here is a tiny secret of which I can tell only you. The 'valuables' that were in my backpack were the five pads I had stowed there for the week. Only...I had it last week and so had only forgotten to take them out. Or maybe I kept them in there for emergency purposes. who knows but I shall not let anyone make me that embarassed. Anyway, I looked around the room and found this really nice light blue kimono with a note beside it. Since the note was in Japanese I just ignored it completely while putting the kimono on. I did get it on, only an hour later. The bad side? I took three steps and spent another hour trying to get it off. I shall never EVER where a kimono again for they are hard to put on, off, and walk in.

I walked out of the room after putting my clothes back on, the ones I wore yesterday, and was walking out in the hall, confident that I wouldn't get lost. Well guess what? I got lost. And guess who found me at my most misfortune? Yusuke! he laughed his head off. I was by then having a very very bad day (or morning...who cares) and so I punched him hard in the stomach. I, surpisingly, sent him flying for a few feet. Score for me! I was then scared out of my wits as Yusuke picked himself up and was looking at me like I had Hell to pay. Luckily, however, a handsome prince came to rescue me. Ok...it was Kurama. And No BAKA BOOK I DO NOT HAVE A CRUSH ON KURAMA! And Kurama and Yusuke were talking about whatever until Yusuke stalked off sulking. Kurama smiled and grabbed hold of my hand. He gently led me over to the kitchen. Botan graciously offered me some steaming jam covered toast using hand gestures and I graciously accepted. Then Hiei came in and ignored me completely as usual while he started to talk to Kurama all serious like, with some inserts from Botan. Luckily, I did not see Kuwabara until extremely late in the afternoon.

Overall it was a pretty good day. I made Yusuke sulk, I successfully avoided Kuwabara until seven, I took Hiei's towel while he was in the shower and stowed it under my bed in The Box (I dubbed my small room this name as all 6 sides were equal).Insert Maniac Laughter Here He still doesn't know who took his black towel.

Day Two:

I AM SO HAPPY! I DID NOT REMEMBER KUWABARA'S FACE THIS MORNING! THE CURSE THAT HAS BEEN BESTOWED ON ME BY HIM HAS BEEN FOREVER LIFTED! Sadly though, this is the only happy part of my day because:

a.) Hiei found his towel and had me at sword point, shouting some Japanese threats of which I could not understand

b.) I stood there for five minutes, hoping I didn't get slashed, as Kurama tried to have Hiei put down his sword (which he did)

c.) Yusuke raided the Box and my bag and took my CD Player as payback for hitting him. I suspect that this is where Hiei found his towel as I had placed my backpack with you Baka Book in it under my bed. I chased him all around the house and was finally able to retrieve it before Yusuke could listen to Harmonium by Vanessa Carlton.

d.) Botan miraculously remembered that I had screamed that very fateful morning when I was in...you know and tried to get me to talk

e.) Kuwabara saved me from Botan, dragging me not so gently into a hall closet.

f.) While in the closet he tried to have a make-out session with me of which I promptly kicked in the you know where

g.) I am still mad about it on

Day Three:

Oops…it turns out that I had forgotten to add one more point in my horrible day before so I’ll put it here (stupid pen)

h.) my soup was cold at dinner.

Ok, with that over and done with I can successfully go onto Day Three. They took me somewhere. We were meeting someone, a toddler nonetheless, with a huge puffy hat with the lets JR. on them. So I simply dubbed him the name Junior. This was before I noted that he reacted, you know, turning towards the speaker, when ever the word Koenma was used. I guess that is his real name but to me he will always be Junior. So…Junior tried to talk to me but because of my language disability whatever he was saying went into one ear and out the other. I think the others haven’t told him that I don’t respond to anything. If they did then he probably ignored them and tried anyway. He looks at me like I am his inferior. He’s no prince I tell you. Can’t be. Then he turned to Botan and them and a heated conversation of which I was promptly excluded out of happened.

While they were talking (or in Yusuke and Junior’s case, arguing) I was remembering my trip up here. We flew up here…it was creepy. Honestly! But I can’t say I didn’t enjoy it a little. That is until I walked through these huge door and all these red, green, and blue monsters were running around the place with arms full of paper in tall stacks. I was too scared to even scream, I think that worked in my favor a little bit. So there I was looking at the knickknacks and remembering when I did scream. Of laughter that is.

There in a dark wooden frame was a picture of the toddler being smacked on the bottom by another monster…who is huge. At first I had though it was his father but it can’t be. Junior is human…and that’s a monster. No way, no how. Anyway I was laughing my head off and by this time Yusuke and Kuwabara, who had come over to see what I was laughing so hard at, were laughing their heads off with me when Botan’s screams rose over our laughs. She was obviously scolding Yusuke and Kuwabara. Ok...she was lecturing me too but since I didn’t understand her I didn’t count. And after that GAH! Yusuke just stuck his head in here. Good thing my back is turned to him or else he’d see me writing in this. Got to go…and quickly….bye.

Hello my readers! Here is Chapter One of Dear Book! Critics always welcome...always...thinking Should I or should I not replace Haley with Meagan...hmmm...I'll let you, my beloved readers, decide for me! Review and solve my sticky situation for me!

Dear Book,

I had the house all to myself today. The gang went somewhere before I woke up and still haven’t returned yet. I finally managed to get into the kitchen on my own. YAY for Haley! Anyway something had been bothering me all the past four days I have been here in Japan. Other than no internet (which is why I am writing so much in you Baka Book) the place is complete and total mess. I have finally managed to get myself around the house ok. This is another plus. Hiei dragged me and showed me where everything was when I uh…accidentally walked in on him in the bathroom…I thought it was my bedroom. I had been coming from the gardens at the time so…it’s not that unbelievable that I got lost. So I guess my earlier victory about the kitchen is a total dud…who cares anyway?

Well since there are times in my life…very very trez trez trez rare times, when I like to go on a cleaning frenzy. Which is exactly what I did. Note to self: never go in Kuwabara’s room again. I mean…there are only some much smelly socks and discarded underwear a poor girl like me can take. To put it this way, his room was so horrible I stayed a total of thirty seconds in it…straightening his sheets. Then I was off to Botan’s room. Her weird oar was gone but that didn’t matter. She was obviously busy. Piles of paper were everywhere. Had it been in English I would have organized the papers for her but since it wasn’t I just straightened the piles and put them neatly on her bedside table. Her grade report for her room keeping skills? A. I barely had to do anything in there…besides the papers.

Then there was Kurama’s room. I did the same thing I did in his room as I had done in Kuwabara’s. Not because dirty laundry was scattered all over the place but because the place was so clean and neat I only had to straighten his sheets. There was only on wrinkle in them but that one wrinkle made the rose smelling room look…dirty. After Kurama’s room Yusuke’s was a big disappointment. It was messy yes…but not nearly as much as Kuwabara’s. I cleaned up his room totally and even organized his comic books (or mangas as the Japanese call them) in order thanks to the English numbers and spelling of the months (YES!) Can I tell you a secret? Of course a can…you’re a book, you can’t talk and no one here can read you hee-hee. Yusuke has a stuffed bear he hides under his pillow. I bet if I steal it he would look around for it but not tell anybody what he is looking for. If there is ever a time that I could talk to them and them me I would soooo do that to him just to see his face.

I didn’t tell you about Hiei’s room. I didn’t go in there AT ALL! His room is just plain creepy. There were spots on the floor and a little on the walls. I think it’s blood. Besides…there seemed nothing in there that if I touched I wouldn’t get killed. Yes…even his bed seemed off limits to me. By this time my cleaning frenzy has been released from my system and so I only did a minimal amount of cleaning in the box where I am currently writing to you.

Oh…I forgot the kitchen…heh heh. Oh well…All I did was this HUMUNGOUS stack of dishes. I swear, it was a whole mountain of towering dishes. My hands won’t be dry for a whole entire week….poor me. –pretends to be cry.- Why is my life so horrible to me? Why oh Why oh Why? What’s that noise? Oh… the gangs’ back…and I found out where they went. I heard two big backpacks fall onto the floor. The time is just right, according to my watch. Yusuke and Kuwabara went to school…and Botan, Kurama, and Hiei went somewhere else. I have to go before they find my writing in you Baka Book. Bye.

Haley

Pretty good!!

AN: Please Note that this was originally placed on Fanfiction.Net and so.....yes...well...anyway. I thinmk four chapters is alright for today...you?

Dear Book,

After the day I have forever been scarred for my entire life. First of all I was woken up sharply by Botan. I was happy it wasn’t Kuwabara but I almost screamed all the same because her face was so close to mine. She whispered something in Japanese and pointed at my backpack, which I had forgot to put back under my bed after I had stuffed you away so hurriedly yesterday. Since I didn’t know what she did, though I could tell it was urgent, I got up, put on my socks and sneakers, brushed my teeth and walked into the kitchen wall brushing my hair, my backpack on my back. It was a great hunch that we were going somewhere because everyone seemed to be carrying something that indicated a journey. Hiei was carrying a sword though.

I looked at everyone, hands gripping my straps so hard that they were glad they weren’t alive. Not that they ever were. And so everyone went out of the house. I was standing there and Hiei, who was even more sullen and angrier than usual grabbed my wrist forcefully and pulled me to the front of the group. I stayed ahead from then off. Hiei was in one of the worst moods I had seen him and one wrong move around him could cost me my life. I think anyway.

I was really tense the whole time. Everyone was serious, no one made a joke. All that happened is that we went onto a boat and just stood there. I liked boats. My dad has a sail boat called The Wave Rider. She’s very pretty and we go out on her every weekend. I was happy for that because everyone else got their sea legs the same time I did. Except Kuwabara but he doesn’t count in my opinion. I sat down and took out my CD Player. Vanessa Carlton soothed me the whole entire ride and then I was dragged off the ship by Hiei again. By the look in their faces whatever was going on was terribly important.

We continued to walk for another hour. I was getting really tired of not knowing what was going on but I couldn’t speak to them…I couldn’t lighten the mood. Luckily I didn’t have to. Yusuke started talking. Really loudly. He started to act superior to all the people around us (which was not many). Soon Kuwabara joined in soon after. Hiei kept rolling his eyes, adding something with a huge smirk every once in a while. Kurama simply smiled at the noise and Botan looked like she was trying to talk some sense into the two boys. I wish I knew what they were saying. Then maybe I would know what was going on. I didn’t have to wait long before I found out though.

We stopped outside an Arena. I clapped my mouth shut before I could scream again. Monsters were EVERYWHERE. I had tuned out when the shouting had started and had only just come back to Earth or wherever these monsters live in. Yusuke and Botan were talking to someone with a clip board. He allowed everyone to go in. Everyone but me that is. The team didn’t even notice I wasn’t with them. I backed away. The monster with the clipboard smiled and sneered. I broke into a run a jumped over the rope. I landed and ran over to the gang before the monster had time to react. Thank goodness I was in gymnastics and on the school track team. I crashed into Kuwabara. Just my luck. Everyone looked surprised at me. I’m not sure if it was because they had left me outside on purpose or because I crashed into the same person who I had landed in bed with.

This person met up with us in the hallway. I’m guessing it is a he. He’s really really short and can’t stop looking at me. He looks plenty old too. Anyway we went through this one pair of doors and sat in the audience. There were two groups of six people down there. The looked like…like they were preparing for a fight. Turns out that they were. The fight started and everyone watched eagerly. We were a bit downward, closer to where the actual match was going on so I could hear the teams every word. Three people were in the fighter’s circle. The guy with blonde hair and this purple monster with three huge ugly horns and sharp claws. The guy with the blonde hair said something and this is what I don’t get. I could understand him. He said “I will beat you and it will be quick so don’t worry.”

Now I know why there was a third guy in the circle. He’s the blonde guy’s translator. He translated almost everything the blonde guy said during the match. Want to know what I mean by almost? I said almost because before every move the Blonde guy tells his opponent exactly how to dodge the move but as the opponent can’t understand him…it was useless. It’s not fair, not fair at all. Then again…this competition didn’t seem to be fair. I have to go…something tells me I need my sleep. I think the gang is fighting tomorrow against the winners. The winners were the English dudes. Yes…all guys, all spoke English, and all used the same ‘I can talk but you won’t understand’ tactic. I want to fight them now. I would like to see their face when I dodge all of their attacks. I don’t think this is going to happen though. I have to go…bye Book.

Haley.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Hello dear Readers..you know what...3 chapters and a prologue and I still haven't put a disclaimer...I don't own yu Yu Hakusho...just my love for Hiei. Heh heh heh. So...what do you think of this chapter? -laughs- I know a secret...and Gaara-no-suna knows it..besides me that is..well...I'll stop this little note so this can get updated.

Dear Book,

My hand is shaking. It is becoming harder and harder to write in you. I have done something incredibly stupid. Let me start it at the beginning. You remember that team that can speak English and that the gang was up against them? Well guess what. I went along and was part of the team. You had to have six. I could tell by the teams anxious faces that they were worried about the match. I was hoping that I was up against the weakest one. I only knew that I was up against them because I heard the other team saying about how the girl (a.k.a me) would be the easiest person. I grimaced at what they were saying about me. Things like weakling and wench and other stuff. I can through a pretty hard punch but they kept on talking about this weird thing called spirit energy. I only took this for all those cool tricks fighters can use. I wanted to see what my team could do.

Kurama was on up first. He was facing the blonde guy from earlier. What happened during that was is so hard to explain. Kurama picked a rose from his hair and it turned into a thorn covered whip. Since when do guys have roses in their hair? Anyway the fight went on far too fast for me to take in what was happening but Kurama ended up winning. Go Kurama. He kicked blonde guy’s but and didn’t kill him. Hiei’s opponent however was not so fortunate.

Hiei went up to the circle with a huge frown. He intimidated even me and I wasn’t even fighting me. (Note: Never get Hiei angrier than the towel incident). So Hiei was up against the brown haired guy who was smirking. He told Hiei how to dodge his move and Hiei, not understanding it, said something. According to the translator Hiei told him to not waste his words for he won’t be able to release them soon. I smiled at this little bit but frowned again when I caught Kurama staring at me. Did he know I understood what this team was saying? He could not have been then but he certainly knows now.

The battle between those two lasted for a half an hour. Hiei killed the fighter. He took off his cloak during the fight and I could tell he fought a lot because for five of those thirty minutes I could not take my eyes off of him. Yusuke was next. His fight lasted for a fair hour. He lost. I can’t believe he lost. He was doing so well too. I guess he ran out of fuel for his cool fighter tricks or whatever. Kuwabara went up there and lost. He impressed me a little bit. I was quite surprised by his fighting ability. The little person was up next and won. Then…it was my turn. I dreaded this little part of the competition. And I was determining the winner.

My opponent talked to me…even though he obviously had been told I was a mute. He told me that he was the leader of the group. That made me stared at him in more fear. If the others had been hard…just think of what he could do to me. I breathed a little and relaxed a little. ‘It would be alright, I can dodge him by following his directions’ I had told myself then. And that was what I did. The opponent of mine, black hair, looked a little cute but deadly all the same, told me how to dodge his attacks and I did. I think after the fifth time I dodged them that he became suspicious. I could feel my other teammates’ stares boring into me. They did not think I would have lasted this long. Then my opponent did something that scared me out of my wits. He attacked without telling me how to dodge it. I panicked and made wild kick that hit is stomach…and went through it. The force of the impact caused his head to tear off. I was surprised I didn’t keel over from the weight. I looked at my leg. Blood was all over it. I panicked again and kicked him off me. His body went into the crowd and he was eaten. It took me ten minutes to realize something. I had one. That’s when I did the stupidest thing ever.

“YES! I WON I WON!” I had shouted. The dead person’s teammates were on my in a second. Asking me if I understood them. I told them yes I did and that is how I dodged all of his attacks. They tried to kill me there after. Kurama and Hiei saved me. Yusuke and Kuwabara were just staring at me. Either because of my magical ability to speak or because of my chance victory, I could not tell at all. We went to Junior’s (whose name is Koenma by the way Baka Book) office and I was silent once again. Then he gave me a sphere of white light that floated around me. Then he started to speak and the sphere translated it for me. It translated my words too. I told them everything. My name, where I live, my true feelings for Kuwabara (which cleared that whole thing up) but the one thing I could not tell them was how I got here or how I managed to kill the guys. In turn they told me about themselves. I was told Kurama and Hiei were demons. In my head I thought they looked human and could not possible be demons. Guess what…the sphere translated my thought. Junior told me that it could happen sometimes so I had to be careful of what I thought from now on. Crazy right? Oh and I found out what spirit energy was. It’s actually pretty cool. It appears that I have a very large amount of it…almost as much as Yusuke has. That’s how I killed that man. I also….wait…I’m far too tired to write right now. I’m going to go to bed. (Guess what? Some of my clothes fell onto my head today! I’m so happy that I have my own pajamas!)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Hey, Meagan here...i think I rushed this chapter a little...if I can get the hang of battle scenes (one of my weakest points in writing) Then maybe I'll put this whole thing in more detail. In fact give me ideas on how the fight went my readers...i'll take any idea I can get!

Nice!!!

Dear Book,

I am so angry I can barely write now. Oh no, I’m not angry at only one thing. I’m angry at many things of which cause my hands to shake even as I write. It all started last night when I was woken up from my peaceful sleep by someone laughing their head off in the Box. I turn around in my bed to find Yususke using the sphere Junior gave me to read YOU! He had managed to get all the way onto the second page of YOU before he could not contain his laughter any longer.

So I get out of bed and I’m shouting my head off while thinking all the things of what I might do to Yususke for this unforgivable act and the Sphere is just floating there, unable to decide between translating my thoughts or my words before both are flowing head strong. Yususke didn’t need it anyway. The expression on my face was translation enough for him. I think he remembered the fight from earlier because he bolted out of the Box, with YOU in hand. I chased him, still screaming as I went.

We swept past everyone’s room, waking up their occupants as we did so. Hiei burst out of hit room and hand my at sword point. Everyone gathered around him and Yususke was still holding YOU. Kuwabara’s snores filled the halls. He was a heavy sleeper which I am thankful for because the last thing he needed to do was to see me in my PJ’s in the middle of the night yelling my head off dangerously. I explained what had happened, what Yususke did to YOU and to me and the sword switched to him. Kurama managed to convince Hiei to not slice him up to bits but Botan hit Yususke on the head with the oar of hers. I snatched YOU back and went to bed, bidding everyone good night in Japanese to give the poor white ball of light a break. Kurama had been teaching me Japanese after the discovery that I couldn’t speak any. I put YOU under my pillow then and went angrily back to sleep.

When I awoke no one was in the mansion. A note had been placed on my bedside table telling me that everyone was in the Spirit World to talk to Junior. About and without me. I was pretty testy already from last night and I was not in the mood to do any cleaning whatsoever so I simply ate my breakfast and left it there for the ants to find. To cure my utter boredom I worked on my math homework although I didn’t see the use. It was over a week late by now anyway.

Guess what? When I came home I wished they had stayed in the Spirit World forever. They came home with guilty faces. Except for Hiei who just looked at me with pity. Kurama and Botan each took turns explaining what had gone on in the meaning. Junior had thought it best to erase my family’s memories and for me to live here. With two demons, the grim reaper, and two idiots. Why? They wouldn’t tell me because Junior hadn’t told them.

I was so angry yet everyone understood. I was basically orphaned because all trace of my to my family was erased, destroyed, gone forever! I took my anger out on a lot of things. The floor mostly but Hiei did let me hit in hard in the chest, once, only once. Kuwabara subjected to my kicks in the you-know-where. I’m surprised I didn’t send him to the hospital. Then I locked myself in the Box and haven’t come out ye, despite what Botan has been bribing. DARN IT! I have to stop writing or I’ll rip the page in half from pushing down so hard. I’ll write in you as soon as I feel better about my new situation.

Haley


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Hey dear Readers...I see that the number has increased creatly in my reviews. Wonderful. Now the next chapter my take a little longer to put up because it covers quite a long period and a lot of events in between that period. So...how was this chapter? Tell me about it in your reviews! I just can't wait to see them.

Dear Book,

I am possibly now over the worst stage of my anger towards the gang. Hiei is surprised at me for how long it took. He says that one day is a short time to get over something like what happened to me. For me though, it’s a long time. I’ve never really been one to dwell on feelings for a long length of time. Hiei agrees with me.

That night, when I ran up to the Box, I collapsed on my bed and cried. I NEVER cry. EVER. It’s really hard to make me so by knowing I cried…it unnerves me a little. And makes me feel ashamed. So…would you like to know what happened in the five days I have not written in you Baka Book? I’ll do a repeat of days 2, 3, and 4. Let’s start off with

Day One:

I stayed in my room mostly for that whole day, just listening to Vanessa Carlton’s CD as the hours ticked by, skipping the song Papa ever time it came up and repeatedly listening to Wreckage and Half A Week Before the Winter. Then I’d switch over to my MP3 Player and listen to Twilight also by her and various songs by Hilary Duff. Like I said before, I rarely left my room then.

When I did leave the Box Kuwabara stayed clear of me as Kurama, Botan, and Yususke failed dismally to cheer me up. As if the people of whom I’ve spent all my life with was just a toy that got taken away. I hit Yususke on the head. I ate as usual, ate the same amount and stuff. I don’t change my diet when something life changing happens. It’s not me at all. Then again I cried earlier that day so I guess anything is possible. Hiei said something to me. What is was I can’t remember but it caused me to run out of the house. If I was at the Olympics I would have taken the gold. Even with the older, faster adult runners in the competition with me. I could hear Hiei come after me and stop just yards before me. The dude is fast…then again he’s a demon so his speed makes sense. He started yelling at me. Telling me how dangerous it was to run out in these woods. Then he grabbed my hand and dragged me back into the house where I soothed myself again in a wave of Vanessa and Hilary with a little bit of Evanescence and Lindsey Lohan. And from then I went to sleep.

Day Two:

I woke up to find Kurama sitting in a chair, watching me sleep. This scared the heck out me and if I wasn’t already in bed I would have fallen to the floor. He spoke some words, which the sphere above my head translated as ‘Good Morning, Koenma is here to see you.’ I got up out of the bed and walked out of the room, Kurama following. I didn’t care that anyone would see me in my PJ’s. It’s not like they’d see anything anyway.

Once we got into the kitchen I sat down in the chair and looked at the toddler that was Junior. He started to talk about the importance of me staying in the house. I soon tuned out, just staring into nothing as the Sphere translated everything he said and it didn’t sink in. He pushed something into my hands and I looked at it. There was some Japanese writing on top of it. The sphere told me it said ‘Haley Lawrence’. The last name seemed familiar, but it was not my real name. Junior continued to talk and this time I listened.

Turns out that my other parents adopted me when I was a baby. I already knew I was adopted. I was the only one in my family with black hair and blue eyes. Everyone else had orange-red and green. He said that he had placed me specifically with them and changed my file for a purpose. A purpose that he would not tell me until the time was right, whenever that was. I was about to open the file when he snatched it out of my hands. He said that the only reason he even let me see was because my real name was on it and I had to make a family tree to discover just why I needed to stay there. So I had homework.

It was after he left that I found out exactly how many people had the last name Lawrence. I soon gave up on it. Without any of my parent’s first names the search was pointless. So I went outside and took my frustration out on the trees. Why was my life so horrible? I thought. I also wished that I never landed in Kuwabara’s bed that first day. That got me thinking a little. I somehow managed to get from my home in Richmond, Virginia to Japan over night and managed to get into a demon raided mansion and land in a human bed. How? I thought about that and the reason still bothers me. I am starting to think that I am here for a very specific reason. Maybe I should check the Spirit World data base for information. Then I came with the problem of getting there on my own.

Why is my situations always so thorny? I don’t know but it really bugs me. It bugs me A LOT. Gah…as much as I want to write more in here I don’t have much of anything else to write. I’ve got to go help Botan make dinner anyway. Bye Baka Book.

Hello Readers. Hmmm...I was going to have this over a period of five days but I changed my mind to one. I couldn't form up enough ideas to fill five days worth of stuff. Anyway how do you like this chapter? Haley's music taste is weird I know...yet it's my own music taste and I like it fine. yes...I am very very picky in my music. Well...gtg.

It's really good!!! Could you do me a favor and read my Avatar story??? PLEASE???!!!

Dear Book

GAH! IT’S BEEN DRIVING ME CRAZY! I can’t stand not knowing EXACTLY how I got here, to Japan. No one knows anything! They wouldn’t tell me even if they did. Not to mention everyone is currently taking a much closer eye on me. I have someone checking on my like every five minutes! Ok...not every ten minutes but still.

The only thing I have to a liable reason of my being here is a load of bull. I was abducted by aliens and accidentally dropped here. See…told you Baka Book that it was extremely crazy. Anyway I told that exact same theory to Hiei and he looked at me like I was crazy. ME! CRAZY! I guess I am going insane. I’m already being driven crazy by the fact that I am JUST now starting to care about how I got here. Yususke says I should give it a rest but I can’t. I’ve been erased from my parents’ memories because of this. –Sits down and cries in anguish- Why does my life have to hate me? –Bangs head on wall- Why, why, why, why?

Oh who cares Kurama! Oh sorry…he just popped in here to tell me to stop banging my head on the wall. I stopped but…Oh man. I am crazy. I just read what I wrote today. Then I read what I usually write. I made tons more sense than I do now. –Cries- I can’t believe my luck. I am where I don’t belong…wait…I didn’t really belong in my family either. Do you notice how cute Kurama’s hair is when shined on by the sun?

WHOAH, WHOAH, WHOAH. STOP THERE HALEY. Did…did…did I just say that Kurama looked cute? No…I said his hair was cute but his hair still counts. Out of my head Kurama’s head! His eyes are adorable when it’s dark. WHAT AM I SAYING?

Do I…do I…have a crush on Kurama. No…for two years I’ve had a crush on Peter. Oh…you don’t know Peter. He’s really nice and sweet and his personality…is just like Kurama’s. Yet Kurama looks at me and Peter doesn’t…

I don’t know, I’m so confused. Time for a subject change.

I have powers now. Don’t know how but that time I kicked that demon (you know, the one that caused me to blow my secret) I’ve found out that I have a rather high level of Spirit Energy for a human. Equal to about one of the lower level of demons. I find that scary, that I can cause as much damage as some demons. I’ve had Kurama and Yususke teaching me how to defend myself. Well…Yususke is teaching me how to fight behind Kurama’s back. I can tell by the way he always says ‘Don’t tell Kurama I’m teaching you this blah blah blah.’

So my days have been plenty active. I do prefer Kurama teaching me than Yususke, who gets too exited over when I get things right, as if he thinks I’m a helpless slug. Kurama has patience and doesn’t treat me with inferiority. That’s what makes him a nice friend, someone I can talk to and someone who looks out for me. Like when he told me to stop banging my head on the wall. Maybe I’ll do that just to bring him back in here. No…Hiei might get annoyed and you know, he has a sword and all.

I don’t really know my powers and Botan and Koenma aren’t telling me but I do know that they are no where near like Yususke’s and Kuwabara’s yet they are not like any demon I know. Yet I supposed there are many demons out there in the Spirit World. Spirit World. The words just roll off my tongue. I can not believe I got to know of it. For some reason Junior’s father told him to have me go see the tournament. Or else they’d have left me home and since I would still have been thought a mute they didn’t have to explain their selves.

I still think that my whole experience is a bit…overwhelming. My world had long gone upside down but just I was getting used to that upside down world it has been turned inside out. I don’t know anything anymore. I’m even having suspicions that Haley is even my real name. The fact that no one is telling me anything only increases my suspicions, all 103 of them. But they are so far fetched it can not possibly make sense. And many of them intersect each other creating a huge web of confusion.

They are so crazy I can’t even repeat them in here. By the way Yususke read in you in the middle of the room. Only he didn’t read you in my room but in the hallway, right in front of Hiei’s door. Lets just say that Botan had to heal the wound that resided in the shoulder and it still left a nasty scar. I stay on the clear side of Hiei always but no my temper is beginning to rise now. It’s because of my lack of knowledge. I even punched a wall one time and left a huge dent. Kuwabara made a ‘cute’ comment and my temper rose. I missed though; I meant to get his head. He wasn’t in the same room as me for a while, which is always a good think I guess.

Hiei’s temper has been rising as well. Every time I walk into the same room as him the tension is really thick. I bet I could cut it with a butter knife. Sometimes when I am concentrating hard on how I got here my tension clashes with his and I have to leave the room because he as sure won’t. Yususke got Hiei angry one time and now there are not one but two dents on the same wall. Hiei missed too but my punch would not have killed someone like his would have.

I wish I was like normal girls, where my only worry is getting in my homework so I can go shopping. But I’m not normal girls, never really was. I never liked guys for some reason until Peter came along and Kurama after him. I hate the color pink and I despise shopping and spending time on hair. I brush it but that is the maximum of what I do. I like to run. For some reason when I run, I feel like the only reason I’m running so fast is because I’m running from something. From what I’m not so sure.

Oh…I am just looked at the clock…it’s past midnight and I’m going to the Spirit World tomorrow to have a talk with Koenma. Hm…I said his name that time. Anyway I think I should get my rest. By Book.

Dear Book,

Kurama is getting to become cute. Yet Hiei is not far behind. Though he yells at me every time he sees me. I don’t know why but we seem to get into tons of arguments. The first one today started when I accidentally picked up his sword. It was lying on the floor and I had gained up the courage to clean his room. I got a lot of the stains off the walls and off the carpets. But while I was cleaning I knocked his sword off the wall and I picked it up to put it back. Hiei, only being downstairs and having a strange sense of when someone other than he has touched his sword, barged in just as I was putting it back. And so the argument began. It lasted for a good hour and left both of us hoarse and the other part of the gang amused at what we said.

What did we say to each other exactly? Well…I came close a thousand time close to punching his face in and I could see that Hiei was forever getting close to killing me but I had his sword so he couldn’t. Though he did grab my throat and only with Kurama intervention did I survive it all. I then promptly left the room and went back into the Box and listened to Twilight until I couldn’t stand it. Actually until Hiei came into the Box and did something really weird. He apologized for being so rough. I blinked and just said that he didn’t need to. Then he just got up and left, leaving me there, staring at the empty doorway.

Then Kurama came in and we talked. About a lot of things. I’m sure I sounded insane to him because no matter where the Conversation went it always came back to why I was here and how I got to where I am. Kurama is hiding something from me, I know it but I don’t ask him about it even though I’m dying from the curiosity. I told him all about my past life and he only listened, patiently and told me a little bit about him self. He’s so caring and sweet. He seems to understand me but I know that he can’t understand me fully. I doubt anyone can.

There’s going to be another tournament that we have to enter. No one told me why but Botan had this thin line on her face when she was told. Apparently the Sphere can’t translate some things. This bothers me. It can’t tell me what’s going on yet it can translate my thoughts. I swear I almost chucked that thing out the window one time. It made me have a conversation with myself. Isn’t that scary? It scared me for sure. Yususke heard some of it and laughed and stopped me from talking to myself.

He tried to pry into me, have me talk to him about stuff. Out of everyone I think he would understand me the most but I think Botan set him up to talk to me for this reason. I told him to go take the gel out of his hair and he just glared at me as I stood up and left. Why would I open up to a fighting idiot. After that I went into the kitchen. Hiei was there but I ignored him. So was Kuwabara, who looked at me. Want to know what he said?

“Haley, my dear, can you come over here please?” That’s what he said, no lie. I grit my teeth and did what he asked. He actually thought I was going to do whatever he wanted us to do next but I punched him hard in the head and sent him flying into the wall. I was saying ‘gomenasai’ so many times that Hiei whacked me on the head, telling me that the oaf got what he deserved for what he was planning. That scared me a little and I stared at Kuwabara. Then I walked to the fridge, grabbed an Asian pear, and left the kitchen.

I swear my life is getting more and more complicated. We’re supposed to be leaving for the tournament tomorrow. That’s great. I was said to pack light…even more encouraging, especially since I can bring all my belongings and STILL be carrying light. ALRIGHT ALREADY KURAMA! I’m sorry again. He just told me to stop writing in you Baka Book and got to sleep. He thinks that the trip my take something out of me. I think the trip will only take my time. Oh well…got to do what the Fox Demon says. Good night Baka Book.

Haley

Dear Book,

We reached our destination today. You know, where the tournament is being held. It’s in the human world and by the equator. I can tell this because I am so hot down here. I am wearing t-shirts, jean shorts, white sneakers and socks, and waving a perfumed fan given to me by Botan and I am STILL hot. The hotel has no air conditioning. Pathetic right?

Our journey up here was well…interesting. Kuwabara and Yususke must have been boiling because they were pretty much aggravated the whole way. When I stupidly blew my secret I had ordered them not to take their shirts off around me again. I even added a few threats here and there. Botan merely added to them this morning as they were painfully reminded. They were really frustrated and I now how deeper respect for them. They could have easily took them off anyway but they didn’t. That says something does it not?

I got stuck carrying the supplies. ALL of it. I was not going to leave my backpack so they merely placed all the food and clothes and junk into it. Since I did not trust anyone with my backpack I carried it myself and talked to Kurama to ease my mind off the weight. Hiei was deeply annoyed with the slow pace but he didn’t talk to me. He knew better than to get into an argument with me right before a series of fights that were to take place the following day. I’d drain his energy. No, he was too smart for that.

So what he did instead (after murdering several poor helpless trees) was grab my backpack off my shoulders, toss it to the closest person beside him (Yususke) and scooped me up in his arms. I shouted and yelled for him to put me down. I gave up after twenty minutes however. We really were going faster this way and I was grateful for a break from carrying my backpack. I was still, however, glad when he finally put me down two hours later. I snatched back my backpack and told Hiei I’d carry him if ever the need. I know that I won’t so it’s a promise I can definitely keep.

So we reached the hotel and got the tickets to the arena that would allow us to enter. Apparently I’m the alternate in this one as Genkai is going to fight. I don’t have much training and my last win was a pure fluke. I really didn’t want to fight much anyway. Besides, with a team as great as this, I’ll only be needed for moral support. –Shivers- Hiei let me watch him polish his sword. It was creepy because with every few strokes; the cloth distinctly became more tinted with red. I think he liked the expression on my face. He taught me something about his sword though…Apparently a human could pick it up but only a demon could wield it. Pretty amazing if you ask me. Though this means I can’t cut up his throat with his own sword. Darn the bad luck. Yususke and Kuwabara are sleeping already. It’s pretty late right now but Hiei and Kurama are still up, talking away. I groaned inwardly. Every demon at this tournament will know of my talking disability and try to use it against me. I doubt they know what the sphere of white light a foot from my head is for or even what it is. I guess that is an upside. Besides, I can run extremely fast.

Sighs and the yawns- I need to go to bed but I don’t want to. My stomach hurts because of too much yakitori for dinner. I couldn’t help myself. I LOVE yakitori. And besides…I want to write all over Hiei’s face…

One second though maybe I should got to bed. The darn sphere just translated that thought and now I have to go so I don’t get killed. Heh heh. Bye Baka Book.

Haley

It's great!!!

1. I love Dear Book!!

-o-Please Pretend the Following Chapter is in Japanese-o-


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Hn. I can’t believe I am writing in this. The baka onna is asleep, soundly sleeping on my couch. She snores and the noise is annoying. After she touched my Katana I was grumbling on the perfect punishment and that idiot Yusuke suggested that the best way to get back at the onna was to write in this…book. And I am.

Haley, you are obnoxious. Keep your filthy human hands off my Katana. Heed this warning because if you disobey it, it shall be your last.

-o-Ok, you can stop pretending now-o-


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEAR BOOK,

I CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS! HIEI DRAGGED YOU BAKA BOOK OUT OF MY BACKPACK AND WROTE AN ENTRY IN YOUR STUPID PAGES! HE DOESN’T WANT ME TO TOUCH HIS PRECIOS “KATANA” THEN GUESS WHAT? I’M GOING TO TOUCH IT ANYWAY! ME? OBNOXIOUS? I’LL SHOW HIM OBNOXIOUS THE FRICKING LITTLE DEMON! LET ME TALK A FEW MOMENTS To calms down some. –Breathes and counts to ten-

There, I should be ok now. It’s six in the morning, I can’t get back to sleep, I decided to draw in you and instead I found the horrid entry. Hiei is so going to die tomorrow. And so is Yusuke because he put him up to him. Yusuke shall get the brutal death. Oh yes, it shall be extremely brutal. And bloody. And painful. Although I have to give Yusuke some credit. He knew on of my weaknesses. Doesn’t make his death any less painful though. Revenge must be pure and sweet. Like it always is. AHA! I, Haley, have just had a major STROKE OF GENIUS! Be right back.

Ok, back. I’m so happy that neither of them woke up. Let me explain. In the bottom of my faithful backpack I keep Pepen. Pepen is the name I have given my handy permanent marker. Black ink. So I took Pepen, uncapped him, and walked over to Hiei where I proceeded to write ‘I Am Stupid’ in English on his forehead. He only rolled over when I was done. Did you know that he snores? It’s a soft sweet sound. Like crackling flames a little. It’s soothing. With Hiei done I then turned to Yusuke where I wrote on his forehead too. Only the message was much worse. He now has ‘Gay Wonder Boy’ in black permanent. In Japanese. Meaning if the maid came in right this second she’d understand it. -Tries hardest to contain laughter and succeeds.- So I thanked Pepen, replaced his cap, and put him back into Bagk. I’m sorry…I’m just had an impromptu urge to name my backpack Bagk.

With the revenge on Hiei fulfilled I then went onto phase to of Yusuke Torture. I put Operation Teddy into action. If you remember Baka Book I had mentioned that I would do this prank when they could understand me. Now seems to be the perfect time as the dolt brought the bear with us. I found it next to him on the bed of which he is sleeping on. I took it and placed it in the secret pocket I had customized in Bagk. It would hardly be noticeably with the rest of the bulge that was smushed into it. Then I went onto the ransom note.

I took out two sheets of paper and laid them on the table. I wrote the ransom note in English first and then sat next to Kurama. The sphere next the Japanese demon, it translated my note and I merely copied the unfamiliar symbols. The ransom note finished I put it where Yusuke’s teddy was. I then tried to contain my laughter and I almost didn’t. I almost laughed because Yusuke wouldn’t suspect me and he wouldn’t show the note to the others.

Let me tell you this. Yusuke basically thinks I’m dumber than Kuwabara. Kuwabara is pretty smart when he wants to be but usually he doesn’t seem too bright. Yusuke would never think I was smart enough to do what I had just done. And he surely will never find the note. Not after I ripped it into pieces, ran them under water, and flushed the soggy mess down the toilet. Nope, the only way he’d find out is if he read you Baka Book. I wouldn’t put it past him though…so you’ll be carried with me for a while.

Thinking about what I have done since six in the morning it’s a good thing I’m already dressed. This is because I will most likely be chased all around the room when Hiei wakes up. And if Yusuke were to wake up and read you I would be running through the hotel halls, dodging his wild fists. I am glad that I took advantage of this morning when everyone is still asleep. The next person to prank will be Kurama…his will be tricky. I won’t prank Kuwabara. I pretty much bashed him enough since we first met. He’s actually a good friend once you get to know him.

Ok, I’m going to make breakfast. It’s seven o’ clock. We have to be in the arena at 8: 30. I’ve seen everyone get ready for a tournament. It will take that long for them to do so. And they need their energy. And with a prepared breakfast I might not get killed so badly…Bye Book.

Dear Book,

I am happy to announce that I did not get killed but I am so tired now. Today has just been nerve wracking. I did almost get killed. Hiei and Yusuke weren’t very happy with the messages on their foreheads. Kurama merely looked amused that I had accomplished such a thing. Then Yusuke found the ransom note and his face fell. I laughed my head off by accident and he immediately knew it was me. I quickly gave him back his bear and turned away from him. Only I ran into this flying stuff animal that was flapping its ears to fly. When I realized it was alive I scream and took a step backwards. Now it was Yusuke’s turn to laugh at me. It found out later that the animal was perfectly harmless…blue stuff and all.

If that wasn’t bad enough I started to get really tired for some reason but I hid it. And it turns out that Koenma did not want Genkai to fight so guess what? I’m taking her place. I have a strange feeling that Koenma is up to something. But then again everyone knows something I don’t. It’s not fair. So here I am, really, really, really, tired all of the sudden, its tiring me to hide my tiredness, and I have to go in a fight this very day. Why is my life so cruel to me?

So as I was walking as fast as I could without Hiei carrying me I think Kurama was watching me. Maybe he could see that I was exhausted. Well we reached the stadium. I don’t know how they did it but all of the demons were human looking. There weren’t many of them. Once we got into the fighting area I looked out in the stands to see so many demons who obviously ditched their human disguises. I groaned inwardly. Hiei, hearing me, called me a baka onna. I replied by calling him a baka jinteki. See? My Japanese is getting better. Jinteki is one of the words for human. Of course I got whacked across the head for the insult but I didn’t care. I was too busy looking at our opponents. They were big, bigger than the ones I though. And they had weapons…all of them had swords. I took a step back. The ones that saw me merely smirked. I could tell that if I wasn’t careful I’d get killed.

After I had taken a step back a hand went onto my shoulder. I turned to see Kurama. On his face wasn’t a smile but not a frown either. “Botan needs you. Over there.” He spoke. I nodded and walked over to Botan, who curiously was away from the group. Botan told me not to worry. She told me that I had all that was required to win. I glared at her and turned. Yeah right, I don’t know how to fight or anything. My last win was a total fluke. I was so angry I missed a wonderful display of swordsmanship from Hiei. At the end of the fight he had his shirt off. I tried my best not to look at him at all. I paid attention to Kuwabara’s fight nervously. With everyone that fights my turn comes closer.

Kuwabara did terrible until he was desperate. Then he did very well. I clapped for him as Kurama went up. That was two wins out of five and zero losses. I had a hard time watching Kurama’s fight. He wasn’t doing to well at all. The opponent was much too skilled. Kurama was really bloodied up before he managed to outwit his opponent and make him unable to fight for the rest of the day. I turned to Yusuke. He wasn’t moving. It was my turn. I stood up and slowly went to the ring. This opponent wasn’t going to tell me how to dodge the attacks this time.

I was really tired then. I couldn’t move as fast as I would have and my opponent was really swift. It was easy to tell. I gulped and bowed to him. He only laughed, eying my sphere skeptically. I told him that I needed it to understand him and anyone so it was no threat. He wasn’t convinced and he attacked.

Let me tell you something. I panicked. All of my exhaustion immediately lifted and I jumped. Only…I never jumped that high before. I had a trouble landing and almost fell over. Then I looked at the crater that had taken my place in the ring. He attacked me with some sort of glowing ball. I dodged that one by running but I got attacked from behind and crashed onto the floor. I had to say it confused me a little of how he could do that without even looking in my direction. It was only a few more of attacks the same way when I realized something. My sphere trailed behind the same distance wherever I go. He might be using that to make a guess at where I was. I took it and through at Kurama just as I was attacked again. Only this one was hard. It was really, really difficult to get back up again. I felt him step on my back and pull a handful of my hair in his fist. I knew that Genkai should have taken it. He came down to my ear and whispered something. Without my sphere I didn’t understand him.

Though whatever he said it made me angry. Really angry. I pushed with all I had against his foot, trying to get up to my feet. He tried to keep me down and lifted his foot to force his foot down on my back hard. I took my chance and rolled out of the way, getting up quickly shortly later. He tried to attack me with these glowing balls but I dodged them swiftly and passed right by him, taking his sword with a little difficulty. That got him angry but I didn’t care. It was the only thing I had. Once I had his sword he was dead meat. Literally. I seemed to develop these cool sword moves. I tossed his sword down when I was done and walked off the ring as the shock of the fact that I killed someone again to mind. Kurama patted me on the head. Hiei smiled a little and all I wanted to do was sleep and I rewarded myself with that.

I woke up back in the hotel. There some serious talk and my sphere was translating it, just by being there. The words were curious. Botan was telling the guys about a girl having more power than they thought. I take it the girl was me. It interrupted by saying that I was a weakling and I had no power. Botan looked at me shocked. I don’t think she suspected me to awake so quickly. I got off of the couch and walked over to the fridge. Now I knew that they were keeping something from me. Something important. I have to go for today. Hiei is bugging me to train. Right now. Outside. In the dead of dark.

Haley

Dear Book,

Today has not been one of my good days. I won’t go into details but I lost my fight today. This entry is going to be short. Hiei was furious at me. Even Kuwabara had won he had yelled at me. Oh my…I’m crying. Hiei yelled at me for a good hour or so. I don’t know why he was so mad. Maybe because it was he who had been training me and my losing made him look like a big huge failure. Fact I feel more confident when I got after some one. I hate it when I go first and set the precedent. I don’t know but it bugs me to know that no one is going before me. Kurama’s going to help me on this. I had confided in him after my yelling at. He’s so cute when he’s concerned. Kawaii I mean. So Kawaii.

I wasn’t only mentally hurt but physically hurt as well. Evil swords from opponents who are more skilled that you HURT. A LOT. And nothing I did made a difference because the only thing I can do is dodge. I wish Hiei saw that. I have no powers…all I have is my brute strength which goes away easily. I wish I knew how to control my 'Spriti Energy'.At least we made the finals.

Well…I said that this was going to be a short entry. I mean it. The loss made me want to train until I can’t take it anymore. And train I shall. Good bye Baka Book.

Haley

Dear Book,

Today is a glorious day for Team Urameshi (tacky name...I know...but they wouldn't let me change the name...) I am happy to say that the tournament is offically over with our team as the victor. We didn't get anything, it sucks, I know. Anyway, Baka Book, I bet you are just waiting to hear...read what happened? Am I right? Oh great...first pens, then backpacks, now books...I'm going mad. Anyway...

I'm going to start before we entered the arena, because it plays an important part in my fight, back at the hotel. It was only me and Kurama. Kurama woke up early to think and I had woken up at two in the morning and had been having an on and off sleep until around four I couldn't get back to sleep anymore.l didn't even have the strength to do anything after I got dressed and ready. I watched Kurama wake idly and moved my hand in a dull greeting. He asked me what I was doing awake. I remember shrugging and getting up, pouring myself some cereal as quietly as I could. Hiei would have been very angry if he was woken up five hours early for the last tournament finale.

I started eating and Kurama came out fully dressed. He was staring at me, simply staring at me as I ate. I was about to question him on this behavior when he came next to me and placed a lily in my hair. I looked up at him, he was smiling. It was clearly visible even in the soft rising sun, the few rays that managed to escape the barrier of the blood red curtains. I asked him, "What's the flowers for...and how did you know that lilies were my favorite flower?". He stared at me and put his hand on my head.

"I didn't...but maybe it will help you gain some confidence for today." He had said. I smiled too and finished my cereal. Placing it gently in the sink I opened the door and let Kurama know that I was going for a little walk. I closed the door before he could say anything.

I'll skip to later that day. The last fight of the tournament...wasn't Yusuke exited. His thoughts were so vibrant that my ever so faithful sphere kept translating them and Iwas laughing so much that it kind of ruined the serious mood that everyone else was portraying. As usual I had trouble getting into the arena. The whole team had to argue so that 'a little shrimp of a human' like me could enter. The opponents whole team were made up of ogres except for what presumed to be their leader. I deeply hoped that I woiuldn't be the one that had to fight him the but the lots said otherwise. As for the fights...I'll leave Yusuke and Kuwabara's alone. Theirs are far less important in my mind than all the others. Just to let you know, Yusuke won by a mile and Kuwabara lost by a zillion miles. I'll start with Hiei's, as his was the first of ours.

His opponent was a purple ogre who I could tell was well trained with a sword. His smile chilled me so much that I had to look away from it. Now that says something. I don't get spooked so easily by anything other than a spider or a really high altidude. Common fear among Americans...though pacifirer mouth changed my nationality. Anyway Hiei could tell how dangerous this person was much more than I could, him being a demon and all. I sat down on the bench and I watched. Hiei first tested his speed. The ogre was faster. The Hiei tested his swordmanship. The ogre's was sharper. Hiei's robes fell apart reveiling his whole top half. I tried not to look at his chest but that was a loosing battle as I desperately wanted to see the outcome of this match.

Hiei decided it was then time to end the battle. Only things didn't go his way. When Hiei maneuvered his sword the ogre clashed it and knocked the blade with his own, breaking Hiei's sword in the process. He then decided to toy with Hiei. This little trick, that little trick. It was an amazing show to tecnique but it wounded and slowed Hiei down immensly. I found myself forcing myself to stay in control. I wanted to intefere w

"I'll kill you now." The ogre said next. his sword began to glow bright red and he lunged at Hiei. At this time I snapped and while the sord was powering up I clambered quickly onto the ring. The ogre smiled at me and then attacked Hiei. Or...he would have attacked Hiei...if I hadn't intercepted the attack with my own body. The sword went in deep into my side. and the red glow encased my body. Pain was everywhere. It hurt so much I couldn't even scream. Then the pain was going but my blood noq slicked on the floor and I kept on slipping.

Because of my actions Hiei got disqualified and the match between them was over. While Kuwabara took his turn Kurama did his best to heal me. He managed to heal it so that it was nothing but a shallow slit. I thanked him and rested, knowing that my turn was to come up right after Kurama's. Hiei pulled me aside and asked me why I saved him, risking my life like that. I never answered him.

Now let us start with Kurama's fight. You wouldn't believe the events in this match and I was shocked to silence watching it. This ogre had blood red skin and took his finger, swooped it into the smear of my blood that was still left there and licked it. Bubbles rose into his skin and his shape changed. Soon I was looking at myself facing Kurama, even though I was still standing in the side lines. Kurama took a step back but then another foot forward. he then said, "Just because you took her shape you didn't take her demeanor or the look in her eyes."

He took out his rose whip and attacked the ogre who dodged. It must be easier for him to move in such a small shape and I was insulted that he would use my appearance like that. I spat onto the ground if I remember correctly. Anyway the ogre stopped and smiled at Kurama. he said something about fighting the real Kurama and threw a green ball. It exploded in a cloud of purple and black lightening and purple-white clouds billowed out of it. It was very dramatic everything was different. I stared in silence at a silver haired man I knew was Kurama. The name: Youko Kurama came into my mind for some reason and I couldn't help but wonder why the image was so familiar to me, as if I had seen it a billion of times before.

Youko Kurama planted some seads into the stadium floor (though how it beats me). Then he said something like 'I will defeat you like I was supposed to defeat Karasu, had he not survived only to be killed by another attack'. The voice was awfully familiar to me too. I could not get it out of my head, no matter what. Till this minute, hours later, I have know why Youko Kurama suprised me so. Nor why his appearance comforted me.

Anyway the plants, they followed the ogre's movement untilo he was envetually caught into their teeth. The sound of crunching bones made me ill and my faced cringed. Youko Kurama turned to face his team, looking at everyone. Well, just as he was about to go onto Hiei he stopped at me. He stared at me until he changed back in the normal Kurama. Then he looked at the others and walked off of the stadium.

Great, we've reached my turn. Whoo-pee. Anyway, I am happy to say that my match was the one that decided who would win and who would loose. I had been practicing with Hiei on my dodging and Yusuke with my attack with fist fighting. Hiei even let me practice my swordmanship with a wooden sword and I guess you could say I greatly improved since the last tournament we fought in.

Anyway I walked up to the ring and I looked at my opponent. he was pale with long black hair. His eyes were covered with dark sunglasses and his smirk made me shiver some more.

"You have no power, you shall be very easy' He said to me. I remmeber pursing my lips and then attacking him with my fists. She kicked me to the ground and stepped on my back, applying pressure. My breathing came a little slow as I tried my best to pull myself up. It didn't work but he let go. I grew angry. To him I was a toy. He dodged my atack and forced me to the ground. He ripped the lily from my hair. That's when I really grew angry. Kicking him in the stomach I grabbed the flower. A soon at I toouched the stem it enlongated and and long sharp blade came out from the flowers center. I decided to name it my Lily Blade. So...what Hiei had taught me actaully came in use. We engaged in sword to sword combat and I wasn't half bad, for my amount of skill. Then I did something of which I can't remember how that rid him of his weapon and I stabbed his heart. I was still angry. Angry at what Junior had done to me and everything that had happened between me and Kuwabara. I never realized how much anger I had kept up inside. I had so much of it that I didn't even feel sorry for the guy and I wished he would come back to life just so I could kill him again. I walked over to my team and I smiled at them.

"We won."

My hands are killing me...so I'll go...bye Baka Book.

Dear Book,

Today is a glorious day for Team Urameshi (tacky name...I know...but they wouldn't let me change the name...) I am happy to say that the tournament is offically over with our team as the victor. We didn't get anything, it sucks, I know. Anyway, Baka Book, I bet you are just waiting to hear...read what happened? Am I right? Oh great...first pens, then backpacks, now books...I'm going mad. Anyway...

I'm going to start before we entered the arena, because it plays an important part in my fight, back at the hotel. It was only me and Kurama. Kurama woke up early to think and I had woken up at two in the morning and had been having an on and off sleep until around four I couldn't get back to sleep anymore.l didn't even have the strength to do anything after I got dressed and ready. I watched Kurama wake idly and moved my hand in a dull greeting. He asked me what I was doing awake. I remember shrugging and getting up, pouring myself some cereal as quietly as I could. Hiei would have been very angry if he was woken up five hours early for the last tournament finale.

I started eating and Kurama came out fully dressed. He was staring at me, simply staring at me as I ate. I was about to question him on this behavior when he came next to me and placed a lily in my hair. I looked up at him, he was smiling. It was clearly visible even in the soft rising sun, the few rays that managed to escape the barrier of the blood red curtains. I asked him, "What's the flowers for...and how did you know that lilies were my favorite flower?". He stared at me and put his hand on my head.

"I didn't...but maybe it will help you gain some confidence for today." He had said. I smiled too and finished my cereal. Placing it gently in the sink I opened the door and let Kurama know that I was going for a little walk. I closed the door before he could say anything.

I'll skip to later that day. The last fight of the tournament...wasn't Yusuke exited. His thoughts were so vibrant that my ever so faithful sphere kept translating them and Iwas laughing so much that it kind of ruined the serious mood that everyone else was portraying. As usual I had trouble getting into the arena. The whole team had to argue so that 'a little shrimp of a human' like me could enter. The opponents whole team were made up of ogres except for what presumed to be their leader. I deeply hoped that I woiuldn't be the one that had to fight him the but the lots said otherwise. As for the fights...I'll leave Yusuke and Kuwabara's alone. Theirs are far less important in my mind than all the others. Just to let you know, Yusuke won by a mile and Kuwabara lost by a zillion miles. I'll start with Hiei's, as his was the first of ours.

His opponent was a purple ogre who I could tell was well trained with a sword. His smile chilled me so much that I had to look away from it. Now that says something. I don't get spooked so easily by anything other than a spider or a really high altidude. Common fear among Americans...though pacifirer mouth changed my nationality. Anyway Hiei could tell how dangerous this person was much more than I could, him being a demon and all. I sat down on the bench and I watched. Hiei first tested his speed. The ogre was faster. The Hiei tested his swordmanship. The ogre's was sharper. Hiei's robes fell apart reveiling his whole top half. I tried not to look at his chest but that was a loosing battle as I desperately wanted to see the outcome of this match.

Hiei decided it was then time to end the battle. Only things didn't go his way. When Hiei maneuvered his sword the ogre clashed it and knocked the blade with his own, breaking Hiei's sword in the process. He then decided to toy with Hiei. This little trick, that little trick. It was an amazing show to tecnique but it wounded and slowed Hiei down immensly. I found myself forcing myself to stay in control. I wanted to intefere w

Dear Book,

I am just so angry and shocked at the same time. Today has been ultimately so stressful for me. I couldn't believe what the sphere was translating to the point that I thought it was faulty. I got a cold hard stare for Koenma when I mentioned that it was faulty. Apparently he thought I was making a joke of him as it was he who created it. Do you really wish to know what happens? My anger my flame to it's limit again and I might have to burn you to help calm myself. Well, since you are begging me to go on I shal.

I woke up to have an ordinary breakfast. We were going to pick up our prizes today. But the whole team and it's owner approched me a little...guiltily. I moaned as one of them thought of the problem so intensly that the sphere translated it. I lost my appetite right then and there.

The tournament was a hiuge fake. It's only purpose was to train me for later missions as it was now inevitable for me to go home anymore I was to stick with the team. They gave me a prize for my effort and for my new weapon and power. It was a whole weeks worth of servantry. I requested that this shall be limited to strickly Hiei. He objected but I told him that he had to because I saved his life. His temper flared but I haven't asked him a single thing and It won't start it till tomorrow so he can enjoy some freedom.

Oh, and guess what Baka Book. It just so happens that I am a half-demon. And EVERYONE knew about it but me. That's why my parent's memory was erased. That was how I got my cool Lily Blade. I moaned and I went for a walk. We were still in the demon world but suprisingly there was a little park. there. I sat on the swing and started it entertain myself. For some reason I feel most comfortable when I am swinging on a swing. I can't explain it but it calms me and I start to daydream crazy things that won't happen.

I tried to focus myself on trying to see where I remembered Youko Kurama from. I couldn't get it out of my head. It was horrible. I do know that I like Kurama in a whole different way. No offense but he was totally hot when he was in his demon form. He explained to me about his past and was suprised that I didn't mind. Now my training has been moved onto Kurama because the half demon inside of me happens to be a fox one. And since Kurama is a fox demon you can guess the rest. I frowned and went back to the apartment. I told everyone that I was ready to go. And we left.

I have to go take a shower...i'll continue to write in you after it.

Pretend the Next part is in Japanese

Hey, Yusuke here. I just popped in to tell you that my fight WAS important. You're a total loser Haley. A strong loser but a loser nonetheless. I can't believe you had no idea you were a half demon. That shows exactly what a baka you are. Anyway, you should be done with your shower soon...I'll go.

End Pretend

YUSUKE THE BASTARD! WHERE IS HE? WHERE IS HE? I'LL KILL HIM. KILL! Calm down Haley, just calm down. Alright then. I'm still going to kill Yusuke...it's just going to be much later. What was that? I just heard a crash. I'm going to check it out.

Dear Book,

Never before have I been so happy to see something so stupid as you. I am in a basement of some kind...I haven't had any food for a whole day. I would have wrote back to you...but when I went to investigate the crash...Hiei, Kurama, Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Botan were knocked out by a gas of whihc didn't affect me. But it did affect the spear, it disintegrated and my captor spoke guess what language. Nope, not English, Jaspanese, as always. He shout something out from his hand and I black out. I woke up here a few hours later. My captor sneered at me. Strong demon energy vibrated in the small room and I was laying on a poor excuse for a bed. My captor was in human form at the moment with auburn hair and green eyes. He introduced himself as Kaji. Then he went on to say thing in Japanese. He asked me a question and when I didn't answer he slapped my face. My hands and feet were bound and I was bruised in places badly. I uttered that I didn't speak Japanese. He came closer to me...and licked my cheek. I shivered and he laughed, leaving the rom. Then I prayed that the guys would come and rescue me.

There wasn't anything else to do but figure out why i was there and sleep. I racked my brain and then I went to sleep. I was woken up by something crashing onto my back. I flip over and it's you. I use my nose to flip the pages to my latest entries where I remember by Lily Blade. The flower is still there. I shake it out of my head and move my self so I can pick it up with my hands (they are tied behind my back) the flower transforms, cutting the ropes that bound me. I flex my wrists, pick up my sword, and free my legs. Then I stand up and walked around. Then I wti up in my bed, the lily in my hand (it had gone back to flower form) and wait for Kaji to come back.

He did and I suprised him with the bounds on the floor and a flower in my hands. he smiled and tried to move closer. When he was close enough I transformed the blade and swung. The tip barely touched his cheek, a thin line of red appearing. He grabbed the blade and pulled it out of my hands. It went back to flower form and then Kaji stepped on it, crushing it and then burning it. i stared as my only weapon went into flames.

Kaji then turned to me, grabbed my wrist and then flung me to the other side of the room. He looked at you, Baka Book and was about to burn you to but I ran to him and punched him, grabbing you and clutching you to my chest and exiting the room. I just ran, deeper and deeper into the what I now see as a dungeon. I slowed down because my footsteps made noise. I didn't hear anything behind me to I found a nook and sat down, tears streaming my eyes.

I had put you down and sobbed quietly to myself before did something...you became so small, that you fit into my pocket. Anyway Kaji found me and he knocked me out again. I woke up in a torch lit room. Made of a reflective surface it was many feet high and Kaji was smiling at me. Something in my hand. He said something in Japanese and then rid himself of his cloak. It looked like we were going to fight. I raised my hand instinctively to my ear and was suprised to find a nother lily in it's place. I pulled it out and immediately transformed it. The blade was longer, leaner, and I felt like I had been practicing sword fighting all my life. I didn't know how though.

We engaged in a battle and he threw away my sword in the first five minutes. He then held a grenade in his palm and threw it at my feet. He said something in Japanese. I coughed and my memories cahnged, as did my body structure. I went to my knees, all the memories came so quickly. I finally understood why Youko Kurama looked so familiar to me. I looked at my reflection and frowned. I was two feet taller, draped in a light light purple cloak. My feet were free from sandals. My eyes were deep purple and my hair was the lightest pink. Ontop my head was a crown of flowers. I lost all my ability to speak English. My knew language was Japanese and my new name was Youko Kihari. I know why I was named Haley in my real life. Take away the 'Ki' from Kihari and you are left with Hari. The English translation for this is Hali which is pronounced 'hailee'. Same as my name.

I felt a lot of this power built up and seeds appeared and left in my hand and grew instantly. They were small but apparently deadly and went after Kaji's every move. He had fire but for some reason that didn't cut the mustard. Eventually he was caught and eaten. I heard foot steps behind me and turned around. The whole group was looking at me. Actually they were looking at Kihari. Especially Kurama who became Youko Kurama for a while. Taller than Kihari (time for me to give it the proper point of view as that whole plant thing was actgually in hers) he looked down on her and she smiled. Then she gave him a thumbs up, which he returned. Then both of them turned back into their regular selves and blacked out for the third time that day. I woke up and Hiei was staring at me. Kurama was in the corner. I sat up and looked at Hiei. He put a hand on my shoulder. Then he told me 'Sorry for Judging you'. The sphere was no longer needed. Ever since Kahari came out I instantly knew Japanese front and back.

I stood up and looked at my sleeping half-brother. Then I looked at Hiei and I gave him a hug. He gave me a hug in return and we just stood there, holding each other. And for once in my life I was glad I was short.

Kihari

COMPLETED

Thats was great... :chidori8D: :chidoriV:
