Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho.
Fighter
My name is Yukimura Keiko. Keiko, as in the brown-haired girl on the sidelines. Keiko, as in the human girl who's always trying to help Yusuke because she's maybe, I don't know, worried about him?
I didn't know it was called "nagging." The dictionary doesn't say anything about how keeping someone in check was defined as "nagging." So why does everyone say I nag? I'm just attempting to say I care. I had good intentions in mind, but I guess people just interpret it differently. They decide to take my words to the opposite extreme.
But they're—Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, even Hiei, who couldn't care less about me—my friends. I have a right to be concerned about them. And if I have to "nag" and "whine" to show it, I will. Because they're my friends. If you're a true friend, then you have to have a voice. How else can you protect them, fight for them?
I always thought of myself as a fighter. Not a fighter with a weapon like the others, but an internal fighter. Fighting to be with Yusuke, who constantly battles all the time with that reigun of his. Fighting to stay by his side and prove that I'm loyal. Fighting to stay on top of my classes and handle having someone I love nearly being torn into bits by evil creatures with destructive powers. It's not easy watching the people you care most about in the entire world fighting for their lives. It's not easy to have Yusuke so close, yet so far away.
It's not easy living with the fact that the person you love the most will always have a world that you can never enter, and it's not easy to know that same person will live centuries, millennia, even, longer than you ever will.
But I survived through all that.
So maybe this concept of "fighter" is too hard for others to grasp. But if you ask anyone that knows me well, they'll say I'm a fighter. A fighter in belief and spirit.
Yukimura Keiko, fighter….It has an interesting ring to it.
