Okay, so my short modeling career isn't a total loss. I am now going to meet one of the top stars of Tokyo. I forgot his name but he is supposed to be one of the top stars. And apparently, he wants to meet me. Of course, I declined the invitation. I know it's the perfect thing to make Yoh jealous and everything but I just don't see me helping a movie star. I just don't want to do movies; too many people ordering me around. Plus, its not like I don't have enough to do around here. I mean what with Misako here and Tamao moving back to Izumo yesterday, I have more on my hands than anything. I now am helping Ryu in the kitchen while Yoh, now shaman king, is meeting with some high-leveled shamans.
I sometimes think that there is too much on my hands that I really do want to just go somewhere to relax. But who am I kidding? It's the middle of winter for god's sake. I mean I know it's almost spring but I really need to relax now. A week to Izumo doesn't so bad if you know what I mean. Well winter vacation is coming up and everything. I don't know. Should I go to Izumo for winter vacation? Well actually I don't want to go with everyone else, just me, relaxing. It would be good medication for me to go somewhere.

I should probably write down the rest of the story now. It's still kind of hard to tell. I guess it is too early to go skipping down memory lane. But I really need to get this down now, or else I might not have the courage too later and it's not very good to leave a half written story. I mean especially with what Derik said when he came just a few weeks ago. I still shudder at the thought.
Back to memory lane:
I found myself wrapped in something warm when I opened my eyes. I don't really remember what. I was lying on soft dirt and when I opened my eyes, I found a blazing fire in front of me. As I turned around, my neck complained sorely. There were trees all around me and as I hazily stared into the sky, the treetops came into view along with a darkening night sky.
I didn't see Derik anywhere so I think I was probably scared, especially at two. As I looked around, I saw that I was in a clearing in the woods that surrounded the orphanage. However, I didn't see any burning buildings or the shrieking of nuns and children. For a minute, I thought that maybe it was all a dream and maybe it was just a midnight adventure that I was having with Derik. However, Derik's face when he came up behind me confirmed me that my hopes were all killed.
Not that I was too afraid back then. Even then, I knew how to survive on my own. I mean an orphanage isn't exactly the best place to be loved and protected. So Derik and I, even though we were around two, were able to at least find some berries and water to keep ourselves alive. But things changed. Remember how I said he had powers? Well during that time in which we lived alone, he changed more than I ever thought he would. He became more powerful and somehow, revengeful against people. When spring came, I was wondering out on my own, looking for a nice place to make a new camp when I found a town. It wasn't just any town; it was huge.
But I guess everything in your life won't go the way you want it to because the minute I stepped into that town, it burned. Well okay, maybe not the exact minute I stepped in. I was walking around, looking at the stuff and just getting under people's feet but somehow, I walked around, looking at things and following people.
And that's when I met Hao. I never really blamed Hao for it, mostly because he doesn't remember it. I mean he was two and I was just a two year old in the street, very insignificant. Apparently, the town was his practice target for training. I didn't know what his ghost was at the moment when I first saw it. All I could think about was fear and how it ran through my body like a shiver. The town was in flames in a matter of seconds. Rooftops and carts were all set in flames. Everything around me became a blur of confusion as people ran screaming. And I saw Derik in the town too. He knew that I had gone out and I guess he was suspicious of why I didn't come back.
And then, everything happened fast. A building next to me set on flames and I ran towards Derik. He saw me and ran towards me too. Except then, a woman from behind me picked me up. I guess she thought I was a lost child and tried to help me. When Derik saw that, he chased after me and yelled. I yelled too and hit the woman but she wouldn't let go. Then I saw Derik being picked up by a man. I think Derik bit the man because the man howled in pain and Derik started running after me again but he never reached me. I was placed in a car with the woman and it drove off.
The last image of Derik for me was he running after the car. He never made it. He never ever caught up to me, until now. I was sent to an adoption center where a couple adopted me. They became my parents and then I became an Itako and I was engaged to Yoh. I guess I never ever told anyone about this. My parents now thinks that I was only two at the time they adopted me and didn't remember a thing so they always said I was their real child. But I knew more than they ever thought. What happened at the hospital was entirely weird. I was strolling with Yoh and my friends and sadly, Misako when Derik appeared.
I blacked out just at the sight of him. I'll never forget that face, even after 15 years, I didn't forget it.
When he saw me, all he said to me when he saw my friends was 'I'll never leave you behind anymore.' And then I blacked out but he apparently left. I found this out from Tamao after. Nobody dared to question me who he was which was good. The thing that confused me was why was Yoh's oracle pager ringing when Derik was near.

Vacation is so boring. I mean it's just the first day and I'm awake at 5. What happened to the waking up at noon idea? Anyways, Misako is here. She is on my nerves because yesterday, she was totally throwing herself at Yoh. I mean seriously, she should get a clue that he isn't in love with her. Or at least he better not be because if he is, both of them are going to die. The thing that really annoys me is that she's hovering around him during training and I already made it clear to her three times that she is not to go around him during training. The third time, which was last night, I screamed at her about it and she stopped which was good.
And I'm seriously thinking about going somewhere for vacation. You know, just to relax and enjoy myself. Is that a little selfish? Well too bad because I really want to get out of here.
Oh I guess you want to know about the tricks. Well I don't think I'm going to play them on her yet. I want to kill her or at least scare her out of this house but I just don't feel up to it. I mean I was up last night planning what to do when I was distracted by my homework. Can you believe that? I was distracted from planning revenge by homework? I feel so ashamed of myself. I think it has something to do with the fact that I just don't feel up to it. I don't feel up to a lot of things. Lately, I haven't yelled at Hao much and I haven't even ordered Yoh to do the dishes although sometimes, he does them on his own free will. Maybe I seriously do need that vacation.
Life around here is so dull. I think that I just need to get away from here. Too much tension and problems. Maybe I should go to a spa or something. Maybe I will.

Okay, so I'm on the train right now leaving to go to Izumo. I wont go to the temple or anything or even visit the Asukuras. I picked out a nice place where I can relax for a week or two online. I started looking yesterday night and decided to go this morning. Good thing spring/winter vacation is very long. Of course, I left a note because I didn't want them to get worried or think I ran off again. Geeze they are so stupid sometimes. Even Manta jumps to conclusions sometimes. And I just hope that the boys doesn't burn down the house without Tamao or me around. I hope Misako and Pirika can handle it. Jeanne and Lyserg still hasn't come back from their temple-visiting thing. They're like off visiting every single temple in Japan or something.
I really don't care about Misako anymore. I just need this week to get away from her and her stupid brain. I think I'll take a nap since I woke up so early for the train.

okay, so i'm sooo sorry about not updating for such a long time. I was just in Montreal and I was working on my other SK story so it took a long time for this. I'm really very sorry. So how do you like this chapter? I know its kind of short and really weird but next is going to be vacation which let me tell you, is going to be a really good chapter because I already wrote most of it and apparently something very weird and exciting happens, well at least for Yoh anyways. For Anna, it'll be a huge embarrasment.
And also, I'm really sorry I didnt prank Misako yet. I'm working on it. Just after Anna goes to vacation. Its mostly because you guys didnt really give me enough suggestions and didnt vote. Shame on you. lol, dont worry, its my fault. I was the one who wanted this chapter up fast so i didnt really have time for pranks but I promise they will be up later.
