THIS IS THE FIRST CHAPTER OF A STORY I JUST STARTED. IT IS IN FIRST PERSON AND THAT IS REALLY HARD FOR ME, SO PLEASE JUST BEAR WITH ME.

HATING YOU

I really hate my brother, he thinks Yukina is stupid, she's not. I don't know where he's at right now, nor do I care. He's probably asleep in a tree somewhere right about now.

Hiei Jaganchi, royal pain in my side…also known as….my brother. He thinks Yukina and I, are inferior to him. Im not even kidding you, and its just because we are younger. Um, hello! I may be only 16, which is 5 years younger than him, but Yukina is younger by…..hm, lemme see…a whopping three whole minutes. Well whooptie-do! Must be a guy thing. Kuwabara is the same way about Shizuru, except shes a year older. I guess it really don't matter, though. She is a girl the idiot's a "big tough guy." Gah. Whatever.

Yeah, so I probably should identify myself. My name's is Elizabeth Jaganchi, Friends call me Liz, or at least they would if I had any friends. "The gang" as I like to call the Spirit Detective and his team, all call me Beth. 'Cept for Kurama, who dares to be different. He calls me just plain Elizabeth, and Boton calls me her Lizzie. Damn that girl gets on my nerves sometimes, but I love her.

Im basically the whole gang's little sister, (because Im to much for Hiei, I'll bet you anything) but damn that gets annoying. I never get a moments peace! Its like, "hello! Give me some space here! Stop looking at me! Im not a kid!" Hiei puts them up to it, I can almost guarantee that. I swear Hiei hates me, Kurama says that Hiei has a special place for me in his heart (Hiei has a heart???) A soft spot and not so hardened all the time. That's caring and not wanting anything to happen to me. Bleh. Yeah right. Kurama says that the spot in Hiei's heart is right next to Yukinas, and just as big. Yeah, whatever.I am so sick of being compared to her. Whatever makes you sleep better at night, Kurama. I just don't see it, but I guess anyone who cares to look, knows that my brother cares for out ice apparition deeply.

Shoot, I'm sorry, I'm probably sounding extremely bratty and negative, but I can help but wonder. I mean, I guess I just sit down and think, deep down inside of me….I think…. I think…. Maybe that I am a little…. Lost. ……… Nah. Then the feeling passes. Honestly though, Boys, Hiei in particular, think girls are morons. Yukina may be too blind to see who Hiei really is, and Im not, but shes not an idiot!

I knew Hiei was my brother, the day I met him. Ok come on, how many people do you know that wander around with deep crimson colored eyes? Clue two, my mother's tears were one of a kind, there was only one left on the earth. I had been told by the other villagers that my brother had that only gem. I knew what that gem looked like and a stranger walks up and just happens to have it draped around his neck? Negative. The stone was in plain view, not many people would be dumb enough to openly wear a stone that valuable. So, he was either extremely brave, or extremely foolish. When I pointed this out to him, he instantly seemed to almost recognize me, even though we had never met. He just up and handed me the necklace, just like that. Now let me tell you the third thing that tipped me off, and trust me it was a hard one!  I am no idiot, and Hiei had our father's nose. I knew, and I told him I knew. Well, lets just say, Hiei's a really terrible liar. Sure, he can control the deepest fires of hell., but he cant tell a decent lie to save his life.

So yeah I know, but Yukina doesn't. We think its better, or Hiei does anyway, this way. I figured it out, and until Yukina does it on her own, we're in no rush to tell her. But yeah, that's our family. Our screwed up family. Our messed up, but our family.

Yusuke threatened to tell her once when he was pissed off at me. I punched him in the stomach, one that left him doubled over in pain, I might add with pride. Needless to say, he appeared to change his mind. Baka Detective.

The gang and I have pretty much settled into out routines, repetitive, yes, but , no way would you would call it boring. Once when I was little, age nine to be exact, after I had just met Hiei, I heard him say "The only thing that stays the same is that everything changes." I didn't know what the hell that meant, but hell, I was only nine at the time. But now, seven years later, little did we know how much things were about to change.
