Backstage with the Exorcists:
Lenalee Lee was backstage getting ready getting ready for her big singing debut. Although her long dark hair had not grown out yet (now it rested at her shoulders) — something that she was still quite self-conscious of — she had borrowed a long black wig for the contest. Now, she was running a brush through the long dark strands that cloaked her back and just below her waist.
Perhaps I should pull it back, she thought, for old times sake. Her brother had always loved her long hair though sometimes she thought he was more upset than she was when she lost it.
"My beautiful sister," Komui had cried, hugging her tightly. "Your hair," he cried, mourning its loss. But the big softie had probably been frightened for his sister's life and was crying over her hair as an excuse.
Oh Lenalee did love her older brother. He was the only blood relative she had left and she owed so much to him. He had made her time at the Order so much happier and brighter, and it was thanks to him that they did things like having singing contests at headquarters.
"There," she said, admiring herself in front of her full-length mirror. Yes, pulling her hair back was a much better idea, Lenalee thought. It made her feel much more normal. She had used to pull her hair back in pigtails so it wouldn't get in the way while she was out battling Akuma, and doing that again — that ritual. It was amazing how such a simple ritual made her feel so much better. The weight of the two long pigtails seemed to give her balance, especially as she put on thigh-high black stiletto heels that replaced her signature dark boots.
And to top it all off, black fishnet tights and a super-short and sexy mini-skirt.
"That's better," she thought as she gazed at her appearance in the mirror. It was ironic how the long dark strands of hair resembled whips hanging off the side of her head — especially given the song she was about to sing.
"Uh, please don't sing this song in front of your brother," Lavi had said nervously, as if one of Komui's legions of robots was on the lookout and would see the future bookworm alone with Lenalee.
Of course, Lavi was hardly alone with Lenalee. Allen was standing by his side, looking at the music the bookworm had given her.
"Uh, Lavi, what does S and M stand for?" the white-haired exorcist said innocently.
"Shush," Lavi said as one of his hands flew to cover Allen's mouth. "Not so loud. The chief might hear?"
"But what does it stand for?"
"Che, it stands for sadism and masochism, stupid bean sprout," Kanda said while walking by and overhearing their conversation.
"Thank you, Kanda," Allen smiled to which Kanda grumbled. Allen had discovered that smiling at the Japanese exorcist unnerved the other even more, and also that Kanda wouldn't stop calling him by his favorite nickname. Usually when Allen corrected Kanda on his name, it resolved to another fight between the two.
"Now why am I talking to you? Get out of my way!"
Lenalee, Lavi and Allen could hear Kanda muttering something about stupid bean sprouts and their stupid questions as he walked away.
To this, Lenalee smiled. It was nice to have friends and family whom cared about one another. Even though Kanda was in a grumpy mood once again, the Chinese girl could tell the Japanese exorcist cared when he answered Allen's question.
Although Lenalee had all the people she cared about close to her here at the Order, she hoped other people would also care enough to vote for her. Or vote for her comrades. With the whips in her hair and her final prop to her ensemble— the chains at her fingertips — Lenalee Lee was ready to perform.

Na na na na
Come on
Na na na na
Come on
Na na na na na
Come on
Na na na na
Come on, come on, come on
Na na na na
Feels so good being bad (Oh oh oh oh oh)
There's no way I'm turning back (Oh oh oh oh oh)
Now the pain is my pleasure cause nothing could measure (Oh oh oh oh oh)
Love is great, love is fine (Oh oh oh oh oh)
Out the box, outta line (Oh oh oh oh oh)
The affliction of the feeling leaves me wanting more (Oh oh oh oh oh)
Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whips excite me
Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whips excite me
Na na na na
Come on, come on, come on
I like it-like it
Come on, come on, come on
I like it-like it
Come on, come on, come on
I like it-like it (Na na na)
Come on, come on, come on
I like it-like it

Vote Lenalee Anime Idol 04!
Komui Lee was pretty sure he died and had gone to heaven. It was either that or he was having the most vivid wet dream of his life. Or perhaps he was dying of a heart attack. Or perhaps all three. His little sister was singing and performing "S & M" by Rihanna to him. It must be a dream come true!
"Oh Lenalee, I would vote for you!" he wanted to scream. "I didn't know you feel this way! Let your older brother love you!"
"Uh chief," Reever said from behind Komui, with Komui's signature coffee mug in his hand. "I don't think that was the point of this contest."
Unfortunately, Reever had the misfortune of waking Komui up from his elation. The chief's nose was spurting blood and he had tears in his eyes. Frankly, it wasn't a site Reever wanted to ever witness. But in a few short seconds, that blotchy tearful face turned livid and angry.
"What are you doing? How dare you lay eyes on my Lenalee, you disgusting filthy perverted old man!"
Reever cringed and did the only thing he could do when Komui was this angry. He ran. But seriously, that Komui sure had an unhealthy obsession with his sister. Was this even normal? And to think, he only came here to deliver the bastard coffee!
Author's Notes: Thanks so much, Psychomantium! I hope you enjoyed this and thanks so much for sending in your request!
