Usagi didn't even need her intuition when she saw his face on the security cameras in Mokuba's office while she was dropping off some hot chocolate with extra marshmallows.
She took one look at him, before her face became an expression of calm.
"Kyouya, if you get rid of the visitor that's about to show up in 45 seconds I will cook you lunch for a full week," she said sweetly.
Something in her tone makes his spine go ramrod straight.
"Do I want to know?" he asked.
"You'll understand when you see him. And Kyouya? Don't be gentle. I want it to hurt when you throw his broken and bleeding body to security...or better yet, maintenance, to toss out of the building."
Usagi-hime was beyond pissed at whoever was coming. She promptly disappeared into Mokuba's office to watch the beat down. In a rare show of camaraderie, rather than join her Angel opted to sit on Kyouya's head in anticipation of helping.
The moment he saw Iemitsu Sawada try to stealthily find Usagi, Kyouya didn't need to ask stupid questions.
His Sky (Fon had explained what a Sky was and how Harmony worked when Usagi gave him the ring) had given him a target, one she wanted gone.
And as one of her dragons, Kyouya was more than happy to fulfill the request.
Besides, she was bribing him with her cooking. He was not turning that down.
Kyouya's grin was positively bloodthirsty.
"For upsetting Usagi-hime and attempting to cause a disturbance in the white dragon's territory I will bite you to death," said Kyouya with anticipation.
The white dragon being an amused Seto Kaiba.
Whatever Iemitsu was trying to accomplish by coming to Japan, and to Usagi's workplace, he wasn't expecting the combined attacks of the demon prefect and the devil rabbit.
Kaiba was alerted by the racket of Kyouya beating the living hell out of Iemitsu, and promptly called security.
Usagi watched the whole thing with a second mug of hot cocoa.
"I wonder if he knows Mama already remarried to someone who's far more reliable?"
"Who cares? He got what he had coming," said Mokuba dismissively.
Tsuyoshi and Nana were off on their honeymoon, while Takeshi was crashing in Usagi's spare bedroom until they came back. There was some talk of relocating TakeSushi to Domino, to make a fresh start.
At this point Usagi is just happy her mother was finally moving on with someone she can respect and not pining over what might have been with that jackass.
"Do I want to know why your sperm donor tried to infiltrate my building?" grumbled Kaiba.
"He's an idiot and probably found out about the divorce. That or he's trying to figure out how I know about the mafia and whether or not his ex-wife knows. Quite frankly I don't know or particularly care, so long as we can train the facial recognition software near the entrance to recognize him on sight so he can't sneak in a second time," said Usagi flatly, sipping her cocoa. "It's not like he'll find Mama or Tsuyoshi-san in Hawaii after all."
"When are they coming back?" asked Mokuba.
"Two more weeks. Good thing I have a spare bedroom and my new step-brother doesn't have a habit of snoring."
Takeshi had taken to the idea of having a little sister with enthusiasm.
It wouldn't surprise her in the least if he had somehow harmonized with her as her Rain. Though perhaps he needed that extra push before he fully became Active. She didn't feel the same connection she had with Hibari just yet.
It was close though.
Kyouya returned looking very happy and Angel was actually getting along with the violent dragon.
"The apocalypse has descended. Those two are actually getting along," said Mokuba dryly.
"Take a picture, quick," said Usagi. Mokuba snapped one with his ever ready camera (Usagi was great for blackmail photos against his brother) before grinning.
Kyouya promptly went to his couch and for all appearances went to sleep. With Angel on his chest. Mokuba and Usagi took more pictures for later.
As it turned out, Iemitsu was told that his daughter (which had come as a nasty slap to the face for the Vongola, learning that their head of intelligence couldn't be bothered to remember the gender of his own child and heir) knew about the mafia enough to tell Timoteo off when he tried to broach the subject delicately.
Which meant Nana likely knew as well if Tsubaki did and that had sent Iemitsu into a panic/damage control mode.
Lal Mirch would be the one to find the divorce papers in the wrong place from around the time the rings were stolen. Needless to say a lot of questions suddenly had answers that she knew Iemitsu wouldn't like.
If Nana knew about Basil, odds were she would have sued for custody of him as well to spite her husband. Either way the failed Arcobaleno was on her way to Namimori to clear up a lot of things.
To be fair though, she could sympathize with Nana for divorcing Iemitsu. He had brought it on himself, plain and simple. She also couldn't blame the woman for remarrying either.
"...What part of 'you are not allowed to use company funding to satisfy your ego' do you not get?!" said Usagi, ears and face twitching.
"Ahaha... would he really do that?" asked Takeshi. He had taken to following his new step-sister around the second he heard Iemitsu was around.
"I had to threaten him with useless meetings with his parasitic board of directors when he wanted to spend two billion yen to build an overly complicated addition to the Kaiba Land theme park just to challenge Yugi and possibly hospitalize his grandfather. He really hates losing," said Usagi twitching.
Kaiba didn't back down.
"I needed someone to test out the new holographic platforms before they go public and you know I hate dueling amateurs."
"Why you all have such a fascination with that card game I will never understand. I'll allow it one condition... I'm there to supervise."
"Fine," said Kaiba. He was not sulking and he'd fire anyone who said otherwise.
Takeshi found the game rather fascinating with the monsters coming to life...but he quickly found out why Usagi insisted she was there to supervise after Kaiba got through with the grandfather. She confiscated the card before he had the mind to rip it up since he didn't want anyone else to own one besides him.
Seeing the happy bunny scold the white dragon is equally amusing.
Though not as much as what happens when "Yami Yugi" as she has taken to calling the spirit inside the puzzle leaves after soundly defeating Kaiba again.
Seeing him leaning hard against the platform for the duelists, Usagi tries to snap him out of it. Whatever "Yami" did shook Kaiba to his core.
Finally she does something that had Mokuba looking a cross between chortling in amusement and looking away in embarrassment.
She kissed him. Right on the lips.
That seemed to snap Kaiba out of it, though he was still shaken up by what happened.
No one comments on the fact he's leaning more on Usagi than anything. They somehow managed to get back to the Kaiba mansion (Mokuba collected his brother's precious deck and Usagi put it up in her bag) without anyone else seeing them. The security cameras were turned off for the night, so no one had any idea what properly happened save for the feed that was being discreetly recorded to Usagi's personal server.
Which she had no idea how to access and even less desire to know.
Mokuba wanted to say something about the fact Usagi is using his brother as a strange sort of teddy bear...except he knew this wasn't the right time. Right now his brother needed something he could anchor himself to, if only to get over whatever it was that Yami did to him. Something real he could hold and know he could relax around.
The fact it was a major step towards the obvious threesome between the two dragons and the bunny princess (as Mokuba and even Fon had taken to calling it) was nothing really of note.
"Should I be worried they're sharing a bed?" asked Takeshi seriously. There was something in his eyes that worried Mokuba.
"Not really. Big brother will grumble and pretend nothing happened, while Usagi will blush like crazy about using him as a teddy bear... and then Kyouya will respond in kind because both of those idiots have been circling around her for months now and he's not about to let big brother one-up him like that. He'll probably stake his claim while that idiot is within view just to rile him up or something," said Mokuba rolling his eyes. "My brother is a bit too leery of someone trying to him for his money, fame or just to get closer to him for the company to do anything more than cuddle at this point."
That seemed to settle something in Takeshi's gaze.
"Who's Kyouya?"
"You might know him better as Hibari," said Mokuba dryly. Takeshi choked on his spit.
"Seriously? Hibari, as in the demon prefect who beats people up with his tonfas if they're ever late. That Hibari?"
"Again, the two of them have been circling Usagi-nee for months now. There's even a betting pool on which dragon she's going to pick."
"...Really?"
"Mama and a few others are betting on a threesome. I don't know if my brother or Usagi are aware of the pool, but I've seen Kyouya smirk whenever it's discreetly mentioned or even referenced."
Takeshi scratched his head.
"How would that even work out? I don't see either of them sharing well."
"You'd be surprised. My brother and Kyouya have this weird friendship going on. From what Kyouya's uncle said it's only working out because their 'territories' don't clash and because Usagi acts as a major buffer between them."
That...and there was something odd about Kaiba's Flames. He wasn't an Inverted Cloud (he was more like Kyouya... a Classic Cloud), but something seemed to be off about them.
It wasn't until Fon factored in the effect this...shadow magic...had on flames that he figured out what was going on.
Shadow Magic ate Flames, and used them to fuel even stronger abilities. Which was why Ba-Ku-Ra had been given a second chance in order to shield Usagi from the worst of the effects that can have on a Sky.
Seto Kaiba and most of Yugi's little group (which included Ryou at this point) were all naturally predisposed to using Shadow Magic on top of Flames. Yugi, Ryou and Seto in particular. Which meant that their 'magic' was eating away at their natural flames to fuel itself, which caused an odd ripple.
By this point Fon had already pegged what Flame type each of Yugi's little friends were.
Yugi was a Sky (which explains why Usagi had gravitated to him so fast...some Skies naturally fell into resonance with each other), Anzu was a Sun, Jounouchi was a Storm, Honda was a Rain and Ryou was a particularly odd Mist. All Yugi was missing was a Cloud and Lightning and he'd have a full set, even if they were all Latent and likely would remain so considering the nature of this shadow magic.
He might have been able to make Seto his Cloud...except Usagi was somehow able to attract both powerful Clouds to her first. How she managed to find two rather proud Cloud Flames who's territory wouldn't clash with each other to the point they could tolerate being in close proximity for extended periods of time was quite the mystery. Most would have chased the newcomer out ages ago.
Especially Kyouya.
Usagi still needed several more to add to her Sky. Fortunately Fon wasn't above nudging people her way to see if any would pick up on it.
After all, it wouldn't do for some third-rate mafioso to end up with his nephew's Sky and drag them all into a familigia that would only use them for their own benefit.
(As it turned out, Mokuba's prediction of how Kyouya would react to the news his brother had shared a bed with the rabbit princess was entirely correct. He not only made his own claim on her in public, but he made damn sure Iemitsu was watching the whole thing. The Inverted Sky was positively livid about it.)
"How was your honeymoon Mama?"
"It was a lot of fun! He knows a lot about fish. Did anything interesting happen while we were gone?"
"The jackass showed up at the office. Fortunately he didn't know Kyouya was going to be there. I have video of the dragon teaming up with Angel to kick his ass," said Mokuba cheerfully.
"...Are you willing to share?" asked Nana with a straight face. It served him right after what he put them through.
"Of course Mama! I even brought it with me!" said Mokuba. Nana beamed at him. "On an unrelated note, the two dragons have started making stronger moves towards the little bunny. Not that she hasn't made a move of her own."
"I want details, leave nothing out," said Nana, eyes gleaming.
"And that's a sign for me to let you two gossip while I get the bags," said Tsuyoshi amused. He hadn't had a vacation this good in years.
Mokuba and Nana shared conspirator looks as he eagerly told her what happened and how Usagi actually kissed his brother on the lips and then proceeded to use him as a teddy bear for an entire night. To top it off Kyouya kissed her in public with Iemitsu watching across the street and she reciprocated in kind. He had pictures of her blush.
So far the betting pool on her snagging both of them was becoming stronger.
