The Return of Tenshi
Ch4
Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket or Sailor Moon.
AN: In case, anyone got confused about the last three chapters, here's the recap. The Juunishi is telling Tohru the story about Usagi Tsukino. Usagi's curse activates if there's anything that might be life threatening like a high fever for an infant and her curse if actually growing two angel-like wings on her back. At age four, she was sent to live with Akito, despite the protests of her parents; six years later, she was free to go when Akito accidentally hurt her. After the fight with Chaos, along with the deaths of her friends and parents, Usagi, Shingo, Luna and Artemis decided to go see the Sohmas.
I'd like to thank you for the reviews, they really make my day happier. Even if you don't like certain parts or have complaints, it does give me an idea on how you think, so please continue to send some reviews to me. Thank you and enjoy.
It's been two days after Momiji's news and everyone was waiting anxiously for Usagi to arrive. It was decided that Akito would be kept in the dark until either he finds out on his own, which he usually does, or Usagi goes to see him.
Shigure's home was kept clean and spotless as always with Tohru's diligent work. Tohru discovered an empty attic room where Usagi would stay if she needed a place to rest. Shigure, Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru cleaned the place out and tried to get some air into the room.
Tohru looked at the picture of her mom and smiled. "Okaa-san, I have a pretty good feeling about today," she said happily, "Maybe Usagi-san will come today. I hope we would become good friends." And with that, she left to go to school with Yuki and Kyo.
Usagi stood right outside of Kaibara High School and stared at the white building. She wore a simple white blouse with dark blue jeans. She held onto Shingo's hand gently.
The eleven-year-old brunette looked at his sister with concerned brown eyes. "Are you sure that you want to see them again?" Shingo asked. His parents had told him what had happened as to why they had to leave the Sohma estate six years ago. He remembered his best friend, Hiro, and the fun times they had together with Kisa, but after what happened to his sister, he wasn't so sure about spending time with them. After their parents' deaths, Shingo promised, since he's the remaining male of the Tsukino family, that he would protect his sister with his life.
"It's all right, Shingo-kun. I'm pretty sure that you can't wait to see everyone again," Usagi teased playfully, making her brother blush.
"It's 2:30 and school lets out at three," Luna said. "I don't think that you can just waltz in there and take them out of school like that."
Usagi grinned at the two cats on the floor. "Trust me guys."
Shingo nodded his head. "Believe me, if Onee-chan sets her mind to do something, she'll do it. Onee-chan is a master of persuasion back at the Sohma house."

Momiji and Hatsuharu listened to their teacher drone on and on and on about the different types of temples and gods their ancestors worshipped. Hatsuharu closed his gray eyes as the words entered through one ear and out the other. Momiji was drawing rabbits all over his notebook, each with their own facial expressions and coloring.
A knock on the door made everybody stop what they were doing and stared. The teacher went to open the door as the students wondered who it could be on the other side. Everyone started whispering as the teacher talked to the person outside of the classroom.
"Momiji Sohma and Hatsuharu Sohma, there's someone who wants to see you," the teacher said, stepping away from the door.
A beautiful woman entered the room with her silvery blue eyes examining each and everyone in the classroom. Everybody gasped in shock; boys and girls both had different responses. The girls all glared at her when they caught sight of the boys staring at her with their jaws dropped open.
Momiji and Hatsuharu stared at the girl, having a faint feeling of familiarity hitting them, but they couldn't put a finger on wehre they've met her. Long silky silver hair was placed in a peculiar style of spheres on top and ending in pigtails.
"That hairstyle," Momiji whispered.
"There's only one person that I know of that has that hairstyle," Hatsuharu thought to himself with a smile on his face.
Momiji jumped up and, as he ran to the girl, shouted, "TENSHI!" Stopping a foot away from her, Momiji quickly jumped and clung to the taller girl with all his might.
Usagi laughed as she hugged the childish boy back. "It's good to see you too, Momiji."
"Hey, Miji-nii," Shingo said, walking into the classroom. His brown eyes looked at the clothes Momiji was wearing in disbelief. "Why are you wearing the girl's uniform?"
"Because it looks good on him," Hatsuharu said, walking over to the source of attention. "It's good to see you again, Usa-chan, Shingo."
"Haru-kun!" Usagi exclaimed as she went to hug the cow.
Shingo waved his hand and said, "Hey, Haru-nii."
"So what's with the sudden visit?" Hatsuharu asked, "Are your folks here too?"
Usagi and Shingo glanced at each other and then at the floor with a sad faraway look in their eyes. Both actions weren't caught unnoticed by the two Juunishi. Usagi smiled and suggested, "Why don't we find Yuki and Kyo and then get out of here?"
The two Sohmas nodded their heads and went to get their books. The two Tsukinos waited patiently in the hallway with Luna and Artemis.

Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru sat in their seats as the teacher wrote down the notes on the board. They copied everything into their notebook, working diligently, leaving no time to daydream.
Yuki and Kyo then stopped working and muttered, "Why do I have a bad feeling? Something's coming and I have a feeling that I'll like it and I'll hate it."
Just then, the door slid open and Momiji waltzed right in. "I need Yuki and Kyo Sohma to come with me!" he said dramatically.
"AS IF!" Kyo shouted, standing up, "Why the hell should we go with you?"
"But if you don't come, then you'll break her heart," Momiji said, sobbing into his hands like a child.
"What are you talking about, Momiji?" Yuki asked, "What do you mean by 'her'?"
Hatsuharu walked into the room and said neutrally, "Hey Yuki, Kyo, you won't believe who's here to see you."
"As long as it's not nii-san, then I don't care," Yuki said, standing up. He watched at the younger two cousins as they glanced at each other with a grin. "Please don't tell me it is him."
Hatsuharu shook his head and stepped off to the side as Momiji pretended to play a trumpet, causing Kyo to roll his eyes and Yuki to wonder who must be so important that those two had to interrupt thier lessons for and make fools of themselves for.
Momiji slapped his hands at his side. "Presenting the pride and joy of the Sohma family, young Princess..." Momiji left it at that, leaving it up to the guys to figure it out.
Usagi walked into the classroom and saw that there was the same reaction as before. Only this time, the girls' glares seemed to be magnified by ten when they saw Yuki and Kyo froze still with their facial expressions softened.
"Hello, Yuki," Usagi said, "It's been a while, hasn't it?" She smiled as tears slowly appeared in her eyse. "i missed you so much," she whispered.
When Yuki saw her tears, he did what he had always done in the past. He walked over to her and hugged her tightly around her waist. "It's going to be all right," he whispered, "I missed you too."
Everybody gasped loudly. This was the first time anyone had seen Yuki Sohma, the prince of Kaibara High, go and hug someone, and not just anyone, but the most beautiful girl anyone had ever seen,
"Oi(1), Sagi, don't tell me that you miss only Yuki? What about hte rest of us?" Kyo asked. He opened his arms and caught Usagi as she raced over to hug him. "It's been a while, Sagi. I'm glad you're back."
Everybody gasped again. Kyo Sohma, known for his notorious and explosive temper, is actually acting soft to a girl. Nobody could believe it, the only girl that the Sohmas are close to is Tohru Honda, but here they are, actually opening up to this unknown girl.
Usagi laughed as Kyo lifted her body up in his arms, his right arm supporting her back as the left held her legs. "Man, you're still as light as a feather," Kyo said. His red eyes glanced over at Yuki and a smirk crept up on his face. "Hey, Yuki," he called. When he was sure that his rival was paying attention, Kyo continued with a simple word, "Catch."
And with that, he threw Usagi into the air and jumped back as quickly as Yuki rushing forward to catch the falling girl. "What were you trying to do, baka neko? Did you want to kill Tenshi just when she came back?" Yuki shouted angrily, shocking everyone who never heard Yuki raise his voice before.
Kyo just laughed at Yuki's death threats. Then he noticed the hair color of his cousin. "Hey, Sagi, what's your hair? Wasn't it like gold before? Why is it silver?" he asked, curiously.
The other three Sohmas glanced over at Usagi, who was still in Yuki's arms, as it noticing the silver strands for the first time. Yuki slowly and gracefully placed Usagi back on her feet as she looked down to the floor as the memory of all eight of her scouts perishing in front if her and sacrificing their star seeds came back full force.
Sensing his sister's uneasiness, Shingo walked over to the two seventeen-year-old boys. "Hey, Yuki-nii, Kyo-nii. It's good to see you all again."
"Hey Shingo," Kyo said, half looking at the boy and half looking at the girl.
Yuki grinned slightly. "How have you been?" he asked politely.
Shingo shrugged his shoulders. "Can't complain," he replied with a bored tone. He looked at his sister and then back to his cousins. "How about we talk about it over tea?" he suggested, "Onee-chan kind of wanted to talk to the others. Preferably away from the Sohma main house."
Usagi felt something tugging her pants and glanced down to see Luna and Artemis staring at her with concerned eyes. She knelt down and picked them up; Artemis stayed in her arms as Luna jumped to her shoulder. "I'm for Shingo's suggestion. All those who's with us, say 'Aye'," she said, raising her hand with the other one holding Artemis while Luna laid draped over one of her shoulders.
Momiji jumped up and down and shouted, "Aye! Aye!" He waved both his arms into the air as he hopped higher and higher.
Yuki just smiled as he watched Usagi laugh at Momiji's child-like antics. He raised his hand and said calmly, "Aye."
Kyo, getting annoyed with the hyper bunny, decided to do the same thing he does whenever Momiji gets on his nerves. He punched Momiji at the side of his head while saying, "Aye." He frowned at Momiji and shouted, "Damn it! Why do you have to be so hyper? How many packs of sugar id you eat?"
Instead of the usual reaction Tohru had expected from Momiji, the blonde just smiled and said cheerfully, "I can't help it. I'm just so excited to see Tenshi again."
"Wow, I feel so loved, Miji-nii," Shingo said sarcastically, rolling his eyes.
Momiji stuck out his tongue and rubbed his hand through his blond hair. "Entschuldigung(2), Shingo. It's jut that I was much closer to Tenshi since she lived inside and you lived outside."
"It's okay, Miji-nii," Shingo said, "But if Hiro ends up doing to same thing, I'll kill him before he even gets to apologize."
"That won't be good. If you do kill Hiro, there's a good chance that Kisa will get upset," Hatsuharu said.
"Oh yeah," Shingo said, stopping the ranting of him murdering his best friend. "How is Kisa-chan? Are the two of them finally going out?"
"Nope, not yet," Momiji answered, "Hiro's still being shy about it."
Usagi just stood away and watched as her cousins and brother trying to catch up for the past six years. Her silver tinted blue eyes glanced own at her cats. "I hope I'm not making a mistake to come back here," she muttered.
"Anno…excuse me."
Usagi looked to her right and saw Tohru staring at her. "May I help you?" Usagi asked.
Tohru blushed slightly as she tried to find a way to ask her question without sounding as if she's invading this girl's privacy. "A-anno, are you Usagi Tsukino-san?"
"Hai," was the simple reply. "Who are you and how do you know my name?"
"Oh yes," Tohru exclaimed. She stood up and bowed. "It's nice to meet you, Usagi-san. My name is Tohru Honda. I'm friends with Yuki-kun and the others and they told me all about you."
Usagi smiled slightly. "I hope it's all good things. And you could just call me 'Usagi', 'Usagi-chan', 'Usa-chan', or anything that sparks your interest. I have this thing about people using formalities to me."
Yuki went over to Tohru and leaned over. "We'll see you back at the house, Honda-san. We're going to go with Tenshi," he whispered.
Tohru nodded her head. "It's all right. I'm pretty sure that you have a lot to catch up on," she whispered back.
The whole classroom watched as the small group left the room and closed the door behind them. Then they erupted into whispers with assumptions on who the girl was. The class was already disrupted and school was almost over, so the teacher just let them talk for the rest of the time.
"Hey, Tohru, who was that girl?" a tall blonde asked.
"She seems to be emitting the same kind of wave as the Sohmas, only…hers is much more pure and full of sadness," a dark haired girl said.
Arisa Uotani looked at her friends, wondering who that girl was and what her mysterious friend meant. She closed her green eyes and thought about the possibilities of who she was.
Saki Hanajima just wondered about the wave felt from the silver haired beauty. She held the same mysterious wave as the Sohmas; there was a similarity of the sadness and hurting they all feel and hid underneath their smiles and false happiness. But she wasn't lying. This girl may be having distraught emotions, but her waves do hold a purer feel to it, compared to the four Sohma boys' darker waves.
"Her name is Usagi Tsukino," Tohru said. Her best friends looked at her, waiting for her to continue, "Believe it or not, she's actually Yuki-kun's and the other's cousin."
"What? Seriously?" Arisa said, "Wow, I guess being good looking really does run in the family."
"I suppose," Saki said with that soft tone of hers and the mysterious glint in her black eyes. "That little boy, I suppose, is her little brother, am I correct?"
"Actually I'm not sure," Tohru answered, "But I believe he is."
Saki just stared off into space as she pondered on the subject. "It's strange, but it seems as if the brother and sister have completely different vibes," she said silently, "Perhaps I should investigate this matter."

Motoko Minagawa bit her bottom lip as she listened to the club members' observation of what happened in the classroom when Usagi appeared. The more she listened to what her precious, gorgeous, intelligent Prince Yuki had done, the more her brown eye narrowed in disgust and jealousy.
It didn't help the fact that this girl was gorgeous and had boys fall head over heels over her just by looking at her. She bit down on the nail of her thumb as she listened to the girls' conversations on her looks.
"Did you see the length of her hair? It reaches straight to the ground, even though it was put up. Can you imagine how her hair looks like when she leaves it down?"
"Her hair looks like it's pure silver, especially the way they shimmer. Do you think she dyed it or it's natural? I bet it feels like silk."
"Her skin was pretty pale, but it didn't look like she was sick or something. And it looks great with her hair, it kinda gives them this air of mystery."
"Did you see the way all the boys were drooling when they saw her?"
"Well, who could blame them? She has the body of a goddess! I mean, nobody I know has that kind of a body. Do you think she could be a model?"
"Probably, but I never saw her face before in public."
"I never saw the kind of eyes she has. It's like bright blue with bit of silver in it."
"Well, I never saw Yuki look at another girl like that besides that witch Tohru. And he never hugged Tohru but this girl."
"Oh my gosh! What if this girl's a witch too?"
Motoko stood up and all arguments stopped as they stared at the president of the Prince Yuki Fan Club. She sighed and wondered about this girl, who their glorious Prince Yuki dare call 'Tenshi'. From what they gathered, this girl's name is Usagi Tsukino and a close friend to the Sohmas. (AN: They do not know that Usagi is actually Yuki's cousin.)
"We'll figure out who she is tomorrow," Motoko said, "Hearing all this description is giving me a headache. I'm going to get some tea and head home."
"Okaa-san, tadiema(3)," Hiro said, walking into his house. He dropped his book bag to the floor and sat down, trying to take off his shoes.
"Hiro, I just received word that Usagi-chan is back," his mother said.
Hiro stood up and dusted his clothes. "Fine, whatever…why would I care if…WAIT!" Hiro stared at his mother with wide brown eyes and his jaw dropped. "Did you just say that Shi-nee is back?" he asked.
"Uh-huh," his mother said, nodding her head, "She's over at Shigure's home with her brother."
And with that, Hiro quickly put his shoes back on and hurried over to Kisa's home to tell her the news. After an hour passes, all the Juunishi members found out about Usagi being back and was staying over at Shigure's home.
A figure laid cloaked in the shadows as black eyes stared out the window, watching the zodiac walked out of the house and headed to the same area. The black orbs darted from one smiling face to the next as a twisted smile slowly crept up on the pale sick face.
"So…she's back," was the soft whisper, "I knew it. All my hard work has paid off."
(1) Hey!
(2) Sorry (in German)
(3) I'm home
