It's not. "shi" is written with a kana of the "s" series, and "sha", "sho" 
and "shu" are written in kana with "shi" followed by small versions of 
"ya", "yo" and "yu". "hi" is written with a kana of the "h" series, and 
"hya", "hyo" and "hyu" are written with "hi" followed by small versions of 
"ya", "yo" and "yu" (same system but the sound is different. Note that the 
same is done with "chi").

"hy" is usually pronounced [C_j] or [C] in Japanese. It's not [S], but 
close enough that people would confuse them I suppose.

You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
