Chapter One: The Truth Is In The Book

Diary,

Guess what? You were just given to me for my nineteenth birthday. Urameshi was snickering up a storm when he handed it to me. Joke's on him though, I already have a diary. 'Course, he doesn't know that.

In my other diary I've got, you know, general diary stuff. Stuff about my fights, my pals, school, and as Urameshi would so kindly put it, 'mushy crap'.

This time I'm gonna write down all the little mind-rants I normally just ignore. Let me tell you, I've got plenty of 'em. I mean I'm a nineteen year-old human on a team that has me, two demons, and a half-demon. Any one in my situation would, am I right? I am.

And you know, the other guys don't seem to realize this next bit, I have a life outside of missions! Surprising I know.

Anyways, I'm so fed up with this 'I'm a demon. I'm pretty and powerful and you're not' crap. So what?! I might not be a demon and I'm not 'pretty' but let me tell you something, those guys wouldn't have gotten anywhere without me. And no, I'm not just saying that to make myself feel better.

I'll tell you why I'm saying that too. First though...If you're one of the guys and you're reading this, ha-ha, put it back and you can hold it over me later. If you're Urameshi, Hiei, Kurama or anyone else...Put this down, get out of my room, keep your mouth shut, and I might not sick my cat on you.

So let me start at the beginning.

First off, Urameshi wouldn't have been brought back to life without me. Wanna know why? Because he used my body to tell Keiko that he was. It was my house that Keiko took Urameshi's body to when his house bunt down. Do you have any idea how hard that was to explain to my sister?! 'Hey, sis. This is Urameshi, remember we went to his visual a while a go? He's dead right now but he'll be back later.'

Than there was the whole 'Rando thing'. I would like to point out that Urameshi's first two fights were won by pure luck. Now I'm not playing the pity card either. I know that I got lucky in my first fight. I also know that if I'd had any clue about what Rando was I'd have done better. Oh well, a fight's a fight that doesn't bother me to much. What does bother me is the fact that it was me who gave Urameshi the boost he needed to beat Rando. You know what I get for it? I get to go to P.T. because half the bones in my body were broken.

Then we went and fought the Saint Beasts. I volunteered for that one but they wouldn't have gotten through it without me. I was the one that beat Byakko. Twice. Sure they probably could have gotten rid of him eventually but by then the human world would have been destroyed. And then there's the little fact that if I hadn't been there to give Urameshi half of my life-energy he'd be dead.

Then we all went off to rescue Yukina. I went into that one willingly too. So we go through all their stupid fights, me leading the way because I can sense Yukina, and I become a human spear. I didn't get anything for that one either.

After that was the Dark Tournament. Let me tell you, I didn't want to go to that one. I'm a human going up ageist a bunch of high-leveled demons in a stadium filled with thousands of other demons and I was pretty much fighting for the human race. That wasn't fun. The fights were hard and painful and I still wake up with the scars from those injuries hurting. So then I have to practically commit suicide to give Urameshi the boost he needed to beat Togoro. It's not like I wanted to die!

I'm not even getting into the stuff that happened after that right now. I'm just not.

Anyways, I have to go on some stupid mission, that really isn't my job. I'm sure I'll have more to write when I get back.
