By the way, to avoid confusion, when talking about Tirsa I will use feminine pronouns when she's a girl and masculine pronouns when she's a boy…um, yeah…haha
Also, I really f***ed up the timeline between this story and the anime, so just assume for sanity's sake that they're all in high school and the Demon World Tournament did happen, but earlier...sorry about the confusion...I should have thought it through more *nervous laughs*
Tirsa spent the week getting used to her new siblings. She and Yukina would talk a lot, but Hiei was always so quiet. All she knew about him was that he would protect both her and Yukina until his dying breath. She was grateful for that.
She also had to get used to their friends. Kuwabara and Yusuke spent more time with her during the school day as well as Keiko, who still didn't seem to like her much. Tirsa always felt that Keiko was watching her like a hawk and she knew why.
"So, Tirsa, you haven't been to a sleepover before?" Keiko asked.
Tirsa shook her head. "I've never had many friends."
"Aw, that's too bad," Suzu replied. "Well, that's okay. We're you're friends."
Tirsa smiled.
"Hey, let's play truth or dare," Keiko suggested.
"Truth or dare?" Tirsa asked.
"Yeah, you get asked what you want to choose. If you pick truth, we ask you a question and you answer it honestly. If you pick dare, then we dare you to do something crazy," Suzu explained.
"Okay, then I pick truth," Tirsa said.
"Alright then," Keiko stated. "So, Tirsa, you've been going to our school for a while now. Are there any guys that you like?"
Tirsa blushed and thought hard. "Well, I really like that boy, Yusuke, but I don't think he feels the same way." Keiko's eyes widened and Suzu paled. "Did I say something wrong?"
"Um, well, kinda," Suzu said. "Yusuke is Keiko's boyfriend."
Had Tirsa known Keiko was going out with Yusuke, she would have never said his name. After that, Keiko avoided her, but Suzu stayed a true friend. She knew that Tirsa would never go for Yusuke while he was dating Keiko, but as of late there was trouble in paradise and Suzu was pushing her to go for it.
But there were two things wrong with that: one, he was still dating Keiko; and two, he was her brother's friend and normal human conduct stated that guys don't date their friend's ex's or relatives. Since Hiei was very overprotective, she didn't know how he'd react.
"So, Tirsa," Yukina started, "do you like Yusuke?"
Tirsa almost spit out the tea she was drinking. "I…I don't know what you're getting at, Kina," she lied.
"But you act differently around him than you do Kazuma or Kurama. I just wanted to know if you like him."
"What would it matter? He's dating Keiko."
"Kazuma told me they broke up," Yukina revealed.
"What?"
Yukina nodded. "I really like Keiko, but she and Yusuke fought all the time. It couldn't have been healthy and Yusuke just didn't want to keep fighting."
Tirsa grew both happy and nervous at the same time. She had to give Yukina an answer, so she gave a half-truth. "I don't know how I feel about him." Okay, maybe a downright lie, but Yukina accepted the answer and the subject was dropped.
Tirsa decided to go for a walk. It was cold, but luckily for her, not raining or snowing.
"Oh come on, Keiko. Let it go," she heard Yusuke's voice say.
"Let it go? LET IT GO? We've been dating for years. I waited for you and you just dumped me because 'it isn't working out,'" Keiko screamed imitating his voice. "I just want to know why. I deserve an answer."
Yusuke seemed irritated. "Look, Keiko, you're a good friend, but when we're together as a couple all we do is fight. It's too much work and it's just not working. I can't do this anymore."
"It's too much work," Keiko repeated. "Wow, Yusuke, I knew you were lazy but to not want to work on something that could be so easy is taking it up a notch. You're right. It isn't working because you won't let it work. I deserve better."
"I won't disagree with that," Yusuke replied. "I know it's true. So just…let's just still be friends, okay?"
"Yeah, fine."
Tirsa was behind a corner and was about to leave before a car drove through a puddle and Tirsa got covered in the cold water.
Seriously?
She turned to run and crashed into a few garbage cans before running into the alley to hide.
"Did you hear something?" Yusuke asked. Keiko shrugged.
"I need to head home, Yusuke," Keiko said monotonously.
"Yeah, same. Well, see you in school."
Keiko nodded and started walking away from him. She turned the corner where Tirsa had been hiding.
"Oh my gosh, are you alright?" Keiko asked when she saw someone lying in the alley. "Did you trip?"
"Y-yeah," Tirsa said. She (well he…) turned and saw Keiko and froze. She must have hit her head hard enough not to recognize her voice.
Keiko held her hand out to him. "Hi, I'm Keiko."
Tirsa grew nervous and couldn't think up a name, so she went for her fake last name. "Raven."
A/N: HAHA! Yeah, so can anyone predict what's going to happen? XD
