Author POV:
Nene knew she had done nothing wrong. She had simply been helping clean up Kira's possesion that had fell. But she knew she shouldn't have snooped at the label, or searched it up, or make accusions towards Kira in her head.
But Kira didn't know that, and what she didn't know couldn't hurt her.
"Oh! H-hi, Kira." Nene tried to act normal and set the heavy container down. "This box of yours just fell off the top of your wadrobe and I was putting it back for you."
"Well, thanks, but no thanks." Kira snapped and swiftly swiped the box from Nene. "I'll put it back myself. You should have just called for me. You shouldn't touch other people's things without permission."
"Girls? Everything okay up there?" Mom called from downstairs.
"FINE, MOM." Nene called down, with a slightly fustrated note in her voice. "KIRA'S JUST BEING UNGRATEFUL AND SELFISH."
"What? Sorry, darling, the dishwasher's on and I can't hear a thing." Mom shouted. Nene rolled her eyes.
"I was just doing you a favour, if you hadn't realised," Nene hissed at Kira, "Before I noticed this strange little word on that box. And guess what it read?"
"The name of a chemical that promotes food poisoning?" Kira groaned. "Do you think I don't know you already figured it out? Yes, I did put it in your smoothie to make you embarass yourself in front of Kai. Yes, it was supposed to make you vomit but Kai didn't bat an eye. Yes, I purposelly lent you the ugly sheer dress so it would look unflattering on you when it stuck to your skin. Yes, I was trying to sabatoge your little playdate. So sue me."
"Why would you do that?" Nene asked, hurt. "What did I ever do to you?"
"I've told you once and I'll tell you again." Kira hissed, stepping closer to Nene. "Stay away from Kai. He's mine. Got it?"
"He's nobody's. He's himself. It's not like I'm trying to steal him from you or something," Nene argued. "I can like whoever I want to like. And who I like isn't always something I can control."
"Oh, you sound like Mom," Kira rolled her eyes.
"Don't call her that!" Nene shouted angrily. "You have no right. She hasn't been your mom for even a week yet. She's my mom. I don't know how you hyponised her to adopt you, but she'll realise how mean you really are soon, and then you'll be kicked out of this house quicker than you can say 'wait!'"
"Did you search that up online?" Kira rolled her eyes. "Because that sounded cringey. You don't want to be my enemy, Yashiro Nene. Because you'll regret it. Today was just a little taste of my medicine."
"Well, I sure wouldn't like to see what your real medicine looks like, but I'm not afraid to be your enemy." Nene frowned. "I have friends, proper real friends back at my old school, and once I convince Mom you're a liar and a trickster, we'll move back and I'll be with them again."
"You're only saying this because you got this huuuuge ego boost from being with the popular girls at school," Kira rolled her eyes. Nene wondered how much one could roll their eyes till they fell out of their sockets. "But soon enough they'll realise you're a loser and dump you."
"We'll see about that," Nene crossed her arms. "They're nice to me. Probably nicer to me than you'll ever be. Kira, I was hoping I would get a sister that would be like a live-in best friend, but I guess this is far from that."
"Live-in best friend?" Kira laughed inrediculously. "You make me sound like a sister-for-hire or something."
"Even if you were, I wouldn't hire you," Nene shot back. "Maybe you're right that I've changed since my last school. I was a completely different person back then. But someone there taught me how to stand up for myself and they also taught me not to back down to bullies like you."
"Who do you think you are?" Kira spluttered.
"Not an orphan who just turned up on some poor girl's doorstep, I bet." Nene frowned. "Oh wait, isn't that you? So sorry. I forgot."
Kira blinked, as if she was trying to while away the tears forming at the edges of her eyes. "Don't make fun of me because I'm an orphan. You don't know anything about me."
"Except that you just poisoned my smoothie on my first date with my crush," Nene growled. "Oh, and that you just randomly appeared from the middle of nowhere, made me move to this horrible place and go to this horrible school, steal my parents, act like a snob, when you turned up here wearing nothing but.... but rags!"
Okay, maybe she was exaggerating a little, but Nene wanted to get across how much she really hated Kira. Especially after what she'd done- Nene would have let a little snobby behaviour slide, but poisoning her strawberry smoothie? Not a chance.
"Shut up!" The tears in Kira's eyes threatened to overflow. "You don't know anything. You think you do, but you don't, and you never will. You don't know what is was like to live in an orphanage. You don't know anything! You have... you have no right to say things like that!"
"Just like you had no right to POISON MY FOOD?" Nene shouted. "Seriously? That is a crime. I could report you to the police right now if I wanted. Do you really think you have the upper hand here?"
"I don't care what leverage you have over me," tears spilled down Kira's cheeks, rosy from the fight. "You don't understand. You'll never know.... you grew up in luxury. You're lucky you even have food to be poisoned! Besides, it was harmless. Just a little bit of chemical to make you feel a little sick. It wasn't lethal or anything."
"A little sick?!" Nene cried inrediculously. "I was puking in the cafe bathroom sink! I got water everywhere on myself! I ruined your dress and my hair! I looked horrible when I went back out! Kai got mad at a poor waitress because of me! The waitress will probably be fired because of that! How did you even get into the cafe without being seen anyway? You probably have, like, undercover spy training!"
"I just wore a disguise and you didn't look twice at me!" Kira said defensively. "I sat in a corner booth and when I went to order I pretended to drop something and when I was pretending to bend down and pick it up I sprinkled some powder into your drink. You were too obsessed with Kai to notice."
"Wait. Are you saying you were the blonde lady who dropped her car keys?!" Nene gasped. "That's too crazy.... you got a whole wig and everything just for this stupid prank?"
"I got a nice allowance." Kira folded her arms and glared. "Whatever. All I'm telling you right now is, stay away from Kai, or you'll regret it. And don't make another comment about my life again."
"You don't tell me what to do." Nene glared right back. "How about this? I'll do what you say, and you STAY AWAY FROM MY FAMILY. You don't belong here."
Kira didn't say anything for a long time. She just stood there, silent, staring at Nene.
Finally, she whispered, "Then where do I belong?"
