WELL…as I promised, a full summary. Kind of. This is going to be a collection of entirely unrelated oneshots. There will be twenty six of them; there will be one for each letter of the alphabet (hence the title, alphabet soup).

Now, the real point of this note, which will actually make what this story entails a bit more clear. I have about twenty different disclaimers for you. You can read them, or not, but I can't be held responsible for not warning you of any of the following.

1: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho, but you all already knew that.

2: There are songfics. I will inform you of the owner of the song at some point during the chapter or in a very brief author's note at the end.

3: Some of these might not make sense if you haven't read the manga because they occasionally draw on select details from the books that I'm not sure are in the anime, since I don't watch that.

4: These are purely for my entertainment, and I thought you guys might enjoy them too. It is not my fault if my sense of humor (or that of my friends, who may or may not inspire one or more chapters) can border on…twisted.

5: I had the brilliant idea for this story at three in the morning when my muse (I'll introduce you to him later in this note) decided it was a good idea to wake me up. I have almost no attention span at three in the morning. Not a safe idea.

6: I do occasionally own characters, but I will not be informing you of that at the time, so it's probably best to just assume I don't own them.

7: I am far from being an expert on Japanese culture so most of these situations are drawing on my very American background.

8: IF I SAY SOMETHING/HAVE ONE OF THE CHARACTERS SAY SOMETHING THAT YOU FIND OFFENSIVE, I APOLOGIZE NOW. Once again, I am simply making fun of the YYH gang and using my American stereotypes (not all of which I agree with, btw) to achieve that.

9: While most of these are entirely stupid with no real serious plot, a select few are a bit more serious.

10: Length will vary immensely.

11: Yaoi will pop up occasionally (nothing graphic, I promise!). I refuse to warn you ahead of time which chapters contain it, though.

12: Any flames I receive will be entirely ignored, since I warned you about all of this beforehand. It's not my fault if you risk your sanity and read this story anyway. Besides, since the individual chapters are not related in any way, there is no reason you have to finish a chapter you don't like, therefore no reason you need to flame me. If you pay attention to this disclaimer, everyone is happy.

13: I will not be doing a disclaimer in any other chapter. That means all of these apply to EVERY chapter.

14: Rating is subject to change without warning (chances are it won't change, though).

15: I lied when I said there were twenty disclaimers. There are only fifteen.

Kiyoshi: ONLY?

Me (ignoring him): Now… Kiyoshi is my muse. He's sixteen (seventeen on April 17!) and the most irritating person I've ever met in my life (what does that say about me, I wonder, since he's in my head?). He is from my story 1 Dead, 3 Missing. He has uneven, dark hair that comes down to his chin or a little above or a little below. He has green eyes. He's left handed, with a poisonous purple-green plant growing out of his left arm. Sooo…yeah, that's all you need to know about him at the moment. In all honesty, he will probably pop up in at least one of the stories.

Now there are three obvious paths you can take from here:

a) Keep reading.

b) Back away slowly.

c) Close your internet browser because your parents are yelling at you to get off of the computer and possibly come back to this story later (maybe).

Me, I'm all for option a). I'm even more for option a) if it results in reviews. :)

Finally, now that you've read all this, feel free to read one of the chapters…or some of the chapters…or all of the chapters…or none of the chapters (but only do the last if you truly feel that's what Fate is willing you to do). And review.

Now, feel free to enjoy the actual story, and many apologies that the very first chapter is a songfic (I do try to steer away from those if I can, since I find there not as much fun to read).

Your (semi)devoted author,

ForbiddenChildLover64 and her lovely yet irritating muse Kiyoshi

Kiyoshi: I hate you too.
