Mikoto: "Touma, stay away from her!"
Imouto: "Why should he listen to you? If you don't even care about him."
Mikoto: "It's not about that!... It's that just--"
Imouto: "You're excuses are as worthless as you are. You might don't wanna be near of him, but I do. Come Touma, you don't deserve a grumpy girl like her, I'll treat you better than her, you can have me as your girlfriend from now on, I can even let you grab my breasts in your house."

Not bad, but you failed at one of the key aspects of the Sister's dialog, comments TimmyG disapprovingly.

Imouto's not exactly Mikoto's sister, it is said that she is a clone of Mikoto.

Even if YOU THINK that clones are the same as brothers/sisters, the clones are created and/or born scientificly.

The original genetic material used was the same, but everything past that point was different. They didn't stuff Mikoto's memories and experiences into their bodies, so everything from the nurture side is their own. Add in the fact that, even with the same DNA, stuff that is more or less based on chance happens in the growth of organisms, and the sisters are functionally identical to identical twins.

Problem?

SCIENTIFICALLY, YOU KNOW!! If you had a clone of your, would you really consider him/her as your brother/sister!?

That depends on the circumstances. In Misaka's, I probably would.

"Scientifically" has no relation to the name of this particular clone. She is part of the SISTERS series of clones (Academy City name), #10032, but she is called "Misaka Imouto" by Touma as a way of differentiating them.
Came, as I recall, from encountering one while with Mikoto, and while Touma was doing double-takes, the clone referred to Mikoto as "Oneesama" (older sister). So, after that, he refers to the clone(s) (though he mostly only encounters one after that) as "Imouto".
Does *that* clear up why the clones are referred to as both SISTERs and "Imouto"? Genetic relationships were not applied, it was simply the result of appending a name to something that didn't have one before, by different groups.
