First, there had been Inu-no-nii-san. Yes, he looked up to the half-youkai with the awesomely large sword who had saved his sister's life on more than one occasion. What pre-pubescent boy would not look up to an older guy with no regard for authority, a kick-ass sword, and the ability to man-handle any problem that came his way from bicycles to youkai bent on destroying the world? Then, he had to go and make his sister cry more than once. And he had a foul mouth, horrible manners, the ability to say the wrong thing at the worst moment, and a thing for his dead girlfriend... Enough said, in Souta's opinion about Kagome's first love.
Second, there was Hojo. Human, dense, too polite, too perfect, too human. And if there was one type of male Souta disliked more, it was the type who were far too nice. He blamed Inu-no-nii-san for that. Possibly tales of Miroku, as well.
Lastly, there was Hiei. He had mended his sister's heart, Souta would give him that. Though Kagome never spoke much about her time with him, he knew the youkai was responsible for making his sister smile and laugh and enjoy life again. It had been something he had been unable to do, and he would be forever thankful for that, but... He also had a feeling that their relationship had gone far beyond a kiss here and there. He, himself, had yet to go that far with Yukina, but he knew the looks they gave each other well enough. It had only been five days, but it was obvious and time enough for it to show. Then there was the fact that Hiei had also broken her heart--he knew that he had just left one day, and let his friend say goodbye for him. It was the entire reason he had ended up meeting Yukina. Hiei was sarcastic, cocky, cruel, and an all-around asshole. More than enough reason to kick him out of his sister's life for good.
Yet, he could not.
There was the fact that he was the older twin brother of his girlfriend. Short of breaking up with the lovely woman, he could not remove him from that aspect of her life. And he had no intention of breaking up with Yukina.
Then there was the fact he really hated: they were still in love with each other.
Even he could see it: Hiei was akin to a vital body part to her. Perhaps not a limb, but more like a soul. Without him, she did not seem as happy. Sure, she smiled, but she was not smiling. And that asshole had his own smile. It was the only reason he put up with all his remarks and the wonderful timing he had.
So he had gotten together with Kurama and Yuusuke, and they were going to pull a couple of strings. None of them knew all the specifics about what had happened between Hiei and Kagome, but they knew what they wanted to have happen between them. If jealousy was what it took...
"Say, Kagome-nee-chan?" Souta asked.
She looked up from the store records and rubbed her eyes. She always worked too hard trying to make this store work, and worked far too late into the night to be healthy. That was another reason he wanted her to get with Hiei--at least then she would be unable to work so late at night. Or so he hoped. "Oh, is it that late already? I bet Yukina is waiting on you."
That caught Hiei's attention from the other side of her store, where he was lounging on the side window seat.
Souta tried to hide his smirk. This lie was going to be easy to pull off. "I still have a little while before our date... But Kurama wanted me to tell you, he'll be picking you up soon. He has something he wants to talk to you about." Though Kurama would be stopping by to pick her up, he tried his hardest to make his tone suggestive. Both of them wanted Hiei to assume the worst: that Kurama had feelings for Kagome and was going to ask her out, or something along those lines.
They knew a jealous Hiei was likely to lead to a murderous Hiei, but if it got the two of them back together...
"Huh. That's odd. He didn't say anything about that last night when he walked me home."
Souta chanced a glance over toward Hiei, and could barely contain his glee. The short youkai looked rather livid and as if he had an idea as to what was going on. And as if he hated all the implications. Well, that was too damn bad. That was what the asshole got for trying to sabotage his relationship with Yukina.
"Oh, it was a last minute type of thing. You know how Kurama is, especially after all these years."
Kagome gave him a strange look. He knew she knew something was up, but it was not likely she would ever catch on as to what they were all plotting. She would be livid if she ever found out how they were trying to push them back together, and being her little brother would not save him from her wrath. Though he knew his sister had matured greatly over the past six years, she could still be pushed to the limits of her patience. And that was never pretty.
"Yeah, I guess... Did he say what he wanted to talk about?"
Souta grinned. "Nope, not at all."
She pushed away the records and stretched. "Hiei, do you know what he wants to talk about?"
Hiei looked away from them and out the window. Souta was sure he was the only one to notice how Hiei clenched his fists, and he took a special sort of pleasure from it. "Knowing the fox, it's probably something inane and boringly human."
"Would you like to come with us then? I'm sure Souta and Yukina can spare your company for an hour or so."
If Hiei agreed, Souta was going to do something wonderful for his sister. He did not know what it would be yet, but he knew it would be amazingly special. A whole hour without Hiei breathing down their necks and causing various accidents to happen around them? Oh god, he would pray to every deity he knew for that.
"I have something to talk to him about."
Yes! When Kagome's birthday came around, he was going to buy her...something. He did not know what yet, but he would get her something she always wanted.
Souta felt guilty about the means when he saw the way Kagome smiled at Hiei. It was with that smile she had for him that lit up her entire face. So long as she never found out and they got back together...

Souta was a younger sibling who held much love and adoration for his older sibling. Though Kagome had missed about the last three years of his life, it did not change his feelings. In fact, it seemed to make them grow. He did not love her in any romantic sense because that was gross to him, and he had Yukina for those feelings, but he definitely felt as if he owed her something. She had saved the world in the past making it possible for him to be alive, the least he could do was watch over her heart for her. He loved her dearly, but she was incredibly stupid when it came to her own romantic relationships.First, there had been Inu-no-nii-san.
