January the sixteenth

Since when has significant and important celebrations become mere commercial events meant to hoarde money in for the wealthier populace of Ningenkai? The Christmas trees have hardly been packed away, and the world has been decked in various shades of pink and red. Not to mention those hideous heart shaped knick-knacks that don't have any resemblance to the living organ....

The deaths for the turn of the year has dwindled down to a mere few, almost nothing, only to have been replaced by lonely bachelors, widows, widowers, dumped teenagers, everything! When has being single been a crime?!

Speaking of singles.... I wish Kurama and Hiei would get over the Wench and just shag each other. That would make my life so much easier to deal with. Since the despica-- poor little darling returned here, they have done nothing but coo and fawn over her. Yes, I had to let them come back -- they are, after all, youkai. Yusuke was far easier to keep stranded in Ningekai, but with Hiei and Kurama....

She claimed to have managed to escape from Her twin, injuring the Savage along the way. I suppose that was a favor for me, seeing as the Savage has been indisposed as of late. She has given me time to recover from the shitloa-- pile of work I've had on my desk and regain sufficient energy I wasted on kicking my Tantei out off my realm. Then again, I don't know whether to be thankful She took care of Him temporarily for me, or be depressed that She is back under my wing.

A bit of good news, however. Keiko beat some sense into her lover over the past fortnight. Yusuke now appears to be very sane and very unadoring when it comes to mentioning Her name. Or so he wants us to believe. My most trusted Kuwabara is suspecious, however, and says that Yusuke is merely admitting defeat to the better looking Kurama and Hiei. Keiko as a mere consolation? Heavens forbid!

At any rate, nothing dangerous has really happened as of yet, the (not so) odd deaths and my sanity not counting. I wish Ningen holidays didn't pop up one after the other in quick succession.
