I was born by the attendant Yumi. I loved my mother, but felt as if I was not quite at home. Kamiya took a liking for me, yet her father, Nonaro, believed I was useless. First of all I was very young, and second of all, I was human.
To get me to live up to Nonaro's expectations, Kamiya built me a ring. It changed my body to look, how should I say it? Other-worldly. That body is not what you see here. For it was uncomfortable, staying in that body all the time. So Kamiya made it so I could transform back and forth.
Later on, when I was about seven, I met the spirit detective of then. She took one look at me and blinked.
I was in my attendant body at the time, bringing in two drinks for the two. It was two waters, I believe. The spirit detective's name was Diana. She had just finished a huge case, and was talking to Kamiya. I remember the scene perfectly.
Diana looked at me and asked, "who's that?". "my newest attendant, seven year old Sara" "that can't be her real body". My jaw dropped. The spirit detective had sensed something beyond my false body.
I looked at Kamiya, who nodded. I tapped my ring and smiled. Turning back always felt great. Diana took in my pale tan hair tucked back in a long braid, my soft blue tunic, and my honey-colored eyes. I think she saw something in me.
"Kamiya" Diana began, "what do you say I train up this girl a bit, you know, teach her to fight". I nearly dropped my tray. In fact, I believe I did, because I remember a loud CLANG. So from that day forward, I was a martial artist.
I was incredible, or so Diana said. I knew I could never keep up with her, yet I was happy, always happy. Then, one day, something happened to change all that happiness.
Diana died.
She died on a case, trying to find the long-lost chapter black tape. Apparently, she'd gotten wind of it's holder and had found him. But he murdered her, and I wept for days.
Finally, when I stopped crying, I began to train again. I didn't stop, and never smiled. Eventually, Kamiya noticed my condition and asked if there was anything she could do. I responded in two words, "human world".
I needed to escape, go away from all that. I smashed the ring, and everything else except one thing. Two things, actually. The wristbands Diana had given me. I still never smiled, though I was among my own people, getting a human education.
Like you, I was far behind in my studies. But as for me, I had a good reason. I'd never actually done much like math, so I was considered stupid. The only thing I really knew how to do was read. It just made me more miserable. But at least I was not in that place, that place where I lost my best, and only, friend.
Then I saw you.
Rae, you were amazing. You reminded me of Diana, but not in a bad way. It made me not remember her death, but her life. How brave she was, how strong she was. I saw you on the day that you went against Yue, that kid from Arizona. He was a terror, and was trying to pick on those girls. You stuck up for them, defending them, even though you were hardly at your potential back then.
I saw you just as I was walking over from school, you know, I didn't go to your school.
I was still confused with my math homework, it was third grade and we had just started fractions. I was walking along the path to my apartment, when I saw you. The girls were huddled together behind you, as if for protection in case you lost.
I looked up from my math book and saw you kick Yue in the stomach. You were so fast, even then. My jaw dropped, and my book fell out of my hand. For a moment I just stood there, staring. Then I took off, running to watch.
I was shy when I was younger, especially back then. I went over to the building, the side in shadow. I peered out over the edge. My clothing had been a gray tunic, so I blended in pretty well. I smiled Rae, I smiled. For the first time in over a year, I smiled.
It was such a relief, to smile. I think you noticed me once, when you stopped and looked over. But Yue hit you, and you fell. When you got back up, your eyes shifted over towards me for a second. I froze, and you shook it off. I think you only saw a flicker before. Anyway, once you got back to fighting, I turned and ran.
The next day, at school, after paying loads of money for a new math book because mine had been run over by a car the day before, I began to pick up news about your fight. I may not be good at school, but, being the daughter of an attendant, I was very good with gossip. I managed to piece all the info together, which there was a lot of, despite the fact that it happened at an entirely different school, and figure out the facts. You'd won, and that was about all I learned.
That day we met, I had been wandering around, looking for something to do. I had just recently gotten over my shyness, and was going to go down to that coffee street on fifth avenue. To my suprise and delight, I found you.
I quickly began to put my hair in a ponytail, and I walked quietly in. I punched that one thug, and you know the rest.
Hiei-Touya: I can't believe I'm really into chapter four!
Flora: technically, you're not into chapter four, you're done with it.
Hiei-Touya: oh. well, that's more of a reason to be happy. not that I don't have stuff to rub in your faces (starts dancing around)
Flora: (sighs) Hiei-Touya would like to say that she does not have a mary-sue anymore
Hiei-Touya: is that all you got! say it with more emotion!
Hiei-Touya: SEE?! I DON'T HAVE A MARY-SUE!!! okay, I respect you reviewers all the way, but I was trying to make Rae like Yusuke. I have no intensions of making the others anything whatsoever like any member of Team Urameshi. though one character coming up will be kinda-
Flora: by kinda she means a lot
Hiei-Touya: shut up (throws chair at Flora) back to what I was saying-like Hiei. oh yeah, and you don't say Diana how you think, it's said Dee-ah-nah. and sorry a/n are so long!
