The Rival Sister
I think I came up with this from hearing about a friend catching his high-school sister sneaking out their parents' condoms...

Yes, I really liked Hiei. For some reason, I was wrong for liking him. Was it because I wasn't Touko? What was it that made her right for him? Was it that she was the sad, romantic, sensitive sister and therefore more compatible with Hiei? Maybe she liked the right kind of music and wore the right kind of clothes and therefore had more in common with him. Who knows? I just didn't belong with him; Touko did.

I could never find out what kind of music Hiei liked. He didn't talk much. I was always hyper and smiling. I tried to cheer him up. He looked angry or sad or hurt. Or all three. I'm not very good at reading people, and I was hoping to just be his friend.

Sometimes I wonder why Hiei even bothered going out with me at all. If I was the "spoiled, stupid, snobby, Mommy's-girl runway model" big sister, why would he even give me a try?

Hiei definitely made it obvious that we were over, but it came like a nauseating brick wall, if you'll pardon the cliché.

Here's how it happened:

Hiei and I were dating for a few weeks. It was a Friday, and I was just coming home from the modeling agency. We were going to a ballroom dance that evening, and I was psyched. I'd gotten my hair done, my teeth whitened, my nails perfected, and the most beautiful pink dress on the planet. Mom was lending me her shoes for the evening, and had called me to tell me just to grab them from the closet; she was working late.

I walked into her room and right in to Hiei.

I gawked right at him. His shirt was missing.

"W-wh..." I couldn't even start to ask him what he was doing in my parents' room without his shirt on when I saw her:

Touko, in her bra, sneaking Mom and Dad's Trojans out of their bathroom. She froze mid-step to stare at me wide-eyed.

No time for heartbreak, there was only one thought I could think at that moment:

"EEEeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww!
Ew!Ew!Ew!Ew!Ew!Ew!Ew!"

I gave up Hiei instantly. The hurt came later. I really thought I was in love with him. My mistake.

Then, as a plot twist, I was kidnapped as leverage for Touko. Sure, her and Hiei saved me from the scary demon, but made it obvious the whole time that they were just doing it from moral obligation. They hate me.

Dad always liked Touko better. Now Mom is so "sorry" that she ignored Touko her whole life. That saying, now she ignores me. So, I moved away to New York at the age of 17, and am fighting to stay on my feet.

I blame Hiei of the Jagan Eye for making me lesbian.
