Chapter 14

Riku continued to drive his car, heading towards the Chiba Mansion with his constant thought of the only female who had been on his mind since the afternoon before.

"Usagi has been at that school for the past three years with Daiki's last name. Did her Mother marry that Bastard?" Riku exclaimed as both hands tightened on the steering wheel as he looked at the road ahead.

His mind drifted to his other daughter, the one he would always acknowledge and thought about the short conversation they had the night before when they were alone in the living room.

"It had to be her." Riku muttered as he walked back and forth in front of the couch avoiding the coffee table.

Riku looked to the phone and thought of the call he had just made to the school and learned how Usagi was listed there as Usagi Chiba. He remembered when he had sat down hard when he was told how smart the young lady was and he thought of her Mother. He had wanted to throw the phone against the wall after the man on the other line then hung up telling that was all the information he could give out.

His pacing quickened as his knuckles turned white since he was squeezing tighter.

"Daddy, are you okay?" Minako asked as she looked into the room seeing the man pacing. Riku stopped his movement and looked at her.

"Honey, that girl Usagi….What can you tell me about her?" Riku asked walking over to pick up a newspaper acting like he was looking at it.

"Usagi Chiba?"

"….Yeah."

"I don't like her but my friends do….so I deal with her." Minako answered walking into the room.

"How long has she been in your class?" His voice came from behind his paper.

"Three years. Oh she's very smart. Rumor has it that she's smarter than the teachers but it's a rumor. I've never seen her grades….no one has but Mr. Muir, he is the only one who has seen them. But they must be good since she helps Mr. Muir all the time and she's the one who raised Mamoru's grades up so fast and high. He was the worst student in class. So I can believe the rumors about Usagi." Minako said looking down at the magazine she had been reading.

Riku let the newspaper drop from his hands and he glanced at Minako who looked back with a smile but her Fathers face stayed blank.

Riku looked down to the floor thinking of Usagi's Mother and how smart she was. Her brains were the reason they had met he remembered. He didn't answer Minako when she had asked him a question and never noticed when she left the room after a shrug of her shoulders.

Riku shook his head to clear it not wanting to think of the woman but he couldn't help but think about her. His thoughts shifted to Daiki and contemplated that the man must have married the woman. Why else would Usagi be living with him for the past three years and have his last name?

"That Bastard has had her with him for three years! Three years and didn't tell me!... That day in the elevator… His actions…..He knew! THAT SON OF A BITCH!" He cried as his right foot pressed down on the accelerator giving the car more gas, heading the speedometer towards ninety miles per hours.

Elsewhere in another part of their small world, Usagi was on the mind of two other people also that day. Her Grandmother stood in front of a man she had last seen when she was sixteen and he was twenty-two, the man who she was suppose to marry but didn't. They were alone in his private office and he was sitting in one of his favorite chairs. He sat with the power that he always had and looked to her thinking that the years had been good to her.

"Please help me get my baby's…..my grandchild she's all I have left of my baby, please." The woman pleaded once more while on her knees looking to the man.

"Why should I help you? You are the one who left this family. You are the one who choose that man after you were told… No, you were warned not to marry. So why should I help you now?" He asked looking to the woman who had been his reason why he had never married.

"She's all I have now." The woman moaned as she clinched her fingers together that were in front of her breast.

The man looked away to look at some papers which he held. He placed the papers down knowing he really hadn't seen what was on them. He knew the woman's presence had caught him off guard. He had expected her sooner after learning that her husband had died two months before of a heart attack.

"So he's finally died?" He asked looking back to the woman wanting to gloat and to hold her giving comfort at the same time.

"Stop please don't be so mean and hateful, he was my husband." She answered wiping at her tears.

"Yes by your choice not theirs or mine." He replied wishing he could feel resentment to the woman who had left him for another.

Usagi's Grandmother looked down before wiping her eyes once more.

"Why are you really here? You had made your choice." The man said trying to harden his heart while knowing it wasn't working. He looked away trying to act lie he didn't care.

"She's all I have left now! I'm up nights worrying for her safety. I thought she would be better off with them but…. Oh please I'll do anything you ask! Just get my granddaughter Usagi for me please." The woman pleaded looking back up with tears starting over seeing the man's eyes fly open as his head moved in her direction.

"Did you say Usagi?" He asked sitting up in a better position. He moved to the edge of his chair.

"Yes my little Usagi."

The man stood up then walked from behind his desk to stand in front of his long lost sibling who looked up to his eyes with the tears falling from hers.

"Where is she?" He asked knowing he already knew that answer.

Usagi's Grandmother looked away like she was ashamed.

"With Chiba, Daiki Chiba of Chiba Inc…. That man….Oh goodness!" she almost whispered covering her mouth with a hand.

"You let your only child's young daughter go and live with Daiki Chiba, the most eligible bachelor of the decade, that Daiki Chiba?" He asked.

"Yes." She announced in a meek voice not seeing the man start to grin.

"Damn woman you must not care for the young girls' virtue, her innocence." He said trying to not laugh knowing that Usagi was perfectly safe.

"I DO! Don't you dare say that to me! It was the best for her at the time and….." She cried throwing her head up to look him in the eyes only to be greeted by his eyes dancing with delight. The grin he held a mischievous one.

She looked down surprised by the look he held. She then looked back to her older brother who was smiling before he started laughing. The man knew his Sister, who had ran off and married at the age of sixteen to the man, who had been ten years older than her, their parents hated and disowned the girl because of her actions, did not know that Daiki Chiba was his Nephew. She had been gone for many years, having moved from the area and he was just now back finally to stay. Not many knew the truth regarding Daiki but soon the whole world would be told.

The man stopped laughing to smile once more as he walked up to his Adopted Sister, she having been adopted when they were children since after his Brother had been born, their Parents had wanted a Daughter but couldn't so they adopted. They had planned for her to marry their oldest but she had gone against them.

"Relax, I'm playing with you. You have nothing to fear in Daiki. I personally know what type of man he really is. Those stories of him are false trust me." He told watching her eyes start to relax which made him happy since it showed she did trust him.

The man helped the woman to her feet knowing by her actions that she believed like many others that Daiki Chiba was with a mob group when, in reality the whole thing was a cover up to protect his only heir who like himself was worth billions.

"Now no worries dear "Sister", I will go and get your Granddaughter personally and trust me Usagi is free from harm, has been all these years." The man said as he wrapped a protecting arm around her shoulders leading the woman out of his private office.

After showing her to a room where she could rest, the man walked back to his office while telling his personal secretary to get his Nephew on the phone. When the woman came back and told the lines were down at the moment due to some repairs in the area, the man smiled, gave a nod of his head in understanding, then requested that his private helicopter be prepped to leave within the hour.

Daiki slammed another drawer of the file cabinet closed before opening the one below it. He reached in and started pulling out papers. He didn't bother looking around the room knowing it looked like a hurricane had hit what with papers and folders having been thrown everywhere.

He walked to his desk and with his free hand pushed the papers in his way to the floor before placing the new stack down. He sat down and started looking and praying he would find what he was looking for. All his Parents papers were in that office he thought.

"Mr. Chiba, Narumi has been taken care of. You will never be bothered by her again."

Daiki heard from the doorway and he only nodded as he tossed another paper to the floor. The man at the door turned and walked away. Daiki glanced to the empty doorway then back to the newest paper in his hand. He didn't feel any regret in having given the order to have Narumi put to death. He knew his Uncle would have demanded it anyways.

"Bitch should have told me sooner… Why didn't they tell me sooner?" He wondered looking up and over at the family portrait that hung over the mantle. How many times he had glanced on that picture in the past, he wondered.

He looked at his parents who were in the center both sitting, his Father on the left side and his Mother on the right. Beside his Father stood his Brother and his Wife right in front of him, while Daiki stood half behind his Mother who was holding a little Mamoru on her lap. That picture had been taken right before his Father had died, Daiki thought removing his eyes of the image off the man.

His eyes began to switch between Mamoru and his Brother then onto his own image. Over and over his eyes moved back and forth coming to a stop on the image of his sister-in-law, looking without blinking for a lengthy time at the woman's face.

Usagi walked over to the stall where Mamoru and her horses stood eating in their place. After seeing her, the two rushed to the rail and waited for Usagi to reach out and pet them which she did automatically.

"Oh you two I'm so confused today and I hate that Mamoru isn't around like before. I hate that I can't talk to him." She said not seeing Mamoru as he walked closer to her.

He looked down then back to her and said, "I'm right here", while stepping out of the shadows.

"Mamoru!" Usagi exclaimed than ran to him and hugged him holding onto his body.

"Where have you been?" She asked looking up to him after he had placed his hands on her shoulders.

"Around." Mamoru stated looking to the horses while thinking how he had stayed near them hiding after he had run out of the house.

"So much has been happening. Narumi told Daiki…"

"I heard her. I know." Mamoru said interrupting her looking away.

Usagi suddenly let his body go and Mamoru missed her warmth after she took a step back.

"I need to tell you something but I'm not going to." Usagi said thinking of her encounter with Riku.

"Why not?" Mamoru asked thinking he already knew and he worried.

"First you tell me why you've been avoiding me so much, acting like I'm a curse." Usagi demanded.

Mamoru eyes which were already wide, took a step back as his face started to burn by the blush that was appearing.

"I….." He started to say as he took another step back.

"Talk! You tell me now! You make me feel like I can't talk to you anymore." Usagi said taking a step forward.

Mamoru looked away towards the horses that were once again eating.

"Do you hate me now?" Usagi then asked catching Mamoru off guard.

"No!" he stated taking a step forward.

"Then what is your problem? What is wrong with you? I need to know. I have the right to know." Usagi said as she took another step to him thinking that this had been the longest they had talked face to face in some time.

"I'm horny." He whispered so soft that she almost didn't hear him. He kicked at some dirt with his left foot.

"Excuse me." She asked tilting her head to the right.

Mamoru glanced to her, his face bright red. He looked away while biting his bottom lip.

"You have been avoiding me because you're…you're horny?"

"Ummm…yea." Mamoru whispered still not looking at her.

He soon found himself on his behind holding onto his chin where Usagi had punched him. He glanced up seeing her standing over him with hands on hips and a glare in her eyes and a blood vein on the left side of her forehead pulsing.

"You are a nutty crazy….stupid…..OHHH!" Usagi screamed before turning and walking back and forth in front of him.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE….UGH!" Usagi yelled.

Mamoru looked back down and knew he had been wrong with avoiding her because of how he felt. But then the picture of her being under Daiki in his bed popped in his head.

"Why where you with Daiki in his bed last night?" He asked watching Usagi stop and take a step back and her mouth drop open.

"What?! Last night? What!" she asked clearly showing she was confused.

She turned and started pacing even faster and mumbling only stopping after Mamoru made her.

"What happened last night? What do you remember?" Mamoru asked looking into her eyes.

Usagi looked away from his face.

"I don't know. Ever since I woke this morning I've been trying to remember."

"Relax and try to think."

"Umm…You left me and I was mad…..I…..went….for a walk then inside and…..and….I don't remember after that!" She said trying to remember.

Mamoru looked away thinking then back to her when Usagi turned and rushed from the barn passing him.

"I'll deal with you very soon Mamoru, you nut case! But first I need to deal with Daiki! I'll ask Daiki and he will answer me this time!" She stated rushing to the house then in to find Daiki with Mamoru right on her heels.

She headed straight to the office having the feeling the man was there and she wasn't disappointed seeing him leaning on his desk looking up in the direction of the fireplace.

"Daiki why did Narumi say I was in your bed?" Usagi asked as she walked into the office followed by Mamoru who stopped and waited by the door.

Daiki glanced to her then quickly to Mamoru then back to Usagi after she walked up to stand in front of him.

"Mamoru said he saw us in your bed also. Why? When was I in your bed?" Usagi demanded.

Like Mamoru earlier, Daiki looked away with his face starting to burn.

"WHEN!" Usagi asked slamming her hand down on the desk.

Mamoru jumped back and Daiki's eyes flew back to her. Usagi could tell by his expression that he was thinking.

"Last night….. You got a hold of my special ice tea…. I was buzzed…..I know it's not an excuse… I was taking you to your room but the door was closed and I couldn't open the door...went to lay you and tripped…Nothing Happened!….. You thought I was Mamoru…..He saw and he turned and left before I could stop him…Nothing happened you're still innocent!" Daiki told in a rushed voice. The whole time he had spoken his eyes had been darting around making Usagi really wonder what he hadn't told. In her mind she tried to recall any of what he had told.

"Look at this moment I'm trying to find out if Mamoru is really my son. I'm sorry for not telling you sooner Usagi." Daiki then said looking her in the eyes.

"Do you swear?" Usagi asked seeing in his eyes he understood what she meant.

Daiki looked to Mamoru then back down to the girl.

"Every day." He stated then gave a smile which made Usagi half smile.

"Trust me, Mamoru will be your first if you so want him to be." Daiki said as he placed his hand on her lower back and escorted her towards the door where Mamoru still stood.

The two came to a stop in front of him and Daiki looked at him.

"Stop doing whatever it is you were and start paying her attention or you'll lose her." Daiki told him hoping that Usagi wouldn't try to ask anything else. He also hoped she won't really remember the night before. How awkward would that be, he wondered knowing he didn't want to mess up the friendship they had.

Mamoru nodded then held a hand out to Usagi who glanced from it to his face. Her right eyebrow went up then she walked around him refusing to slow her steps.

"Go and follow her." Daiki told and saw Mamoru nod then ran after his friend.

Daiki sighed as he walked back into his office knowing he hadn't told everything but his feelings for Usagi were too deep to have her hate him.

"There's already one man she hates and I won't be on that list ever." He said sitting back down on his chair.

He reached and picked up another paper throwing it to the side before his eyes went back to the portrait and on the woman he had been looking at before being interrupted.

"Mom and you were the only two who cared about us. But why not tell me?" He muttered looking towards the image of Mamoru. Then his eyes once again began looking to his Brother and Mamoru's image and his own.

Usagi walked into the bedroom and turned to face Mamoru who had closed the door. He took a step back since she was so close to him.

"You ran off? You didn't stay to check on me? I thought I was your best friend!" Usagi said as her hands rested on her hips glaring at him.

"What did I ever do to you that you wouldn't go in and find out if I was okay?" She said watching as Mamoru reached and rubbed his chin remembering the punch while wondering if she would hit him yet again.

"You didn't do anything wrong. It's me…" he started to say.

"Yes I know it's you! You're horny! You thought it was best to leave my side and treat me like the plague because you're horny!" She almost yelled then walked over to the seating area.

Mamoru walked over and sat down on the bed feeling like crap since he shouldn't have left her and he shouldn't have kept his feeling from her.

"You are a stupid, crazy nutty boy!" She exclaimed before giving a yell as she turned around to look in his direction.

Mamoru's eyes began to widen as she stomped over to him and grabbed the front of his shirt yanking him forward so his face was level with hers.

"You're actions almost had me sleeping with Daiki!" Usagi stated knowing deep down that Daiki had hidden that fact. She hoped she hadn't made a fool of herself and thought of the blush Daiki had and was thankful he didn't go into details.

She watched Mamoru take a swallow as she licked her lips.

"And you know what?" Usagi then asked with her eyes dancing.

"What?" Mamoru whispered afraid to move his eyes from hers.

"You ever avoid me again like you did and I'll go to Daiki personally and let him have me and I won't be drunk!" Usagi stated before slamming his body back so he was lying on the bed looking to the ceiling.

Usagi climbed on to his body before Mamoru could even sit up.

"Are you ever going to avoid me again?" She asked as she leaned over him, hands on the side of his head.

"No I promise." Mamoru answered his body stiff as a board.

"Who am I to you?" She asked straddling his body.

"My best friend?" Mamoru answered his eyes opened wider.

"And…." Usagi asked grabbing the front of his shirt pulling gently.

"Umm my….my girlfriend." Mamoru told with a couple of blinks of his bright eyes.

"Right answer." Usagi said patting his chest with the hand that had been holding his shirt.

Mamoru smiled proudly.

"You nut." Usagi then said then leaned over and captured his lips with hers.

Mamoru lay there at first too stunned to even respond but finally he got over the pleasant surprise and kissed her back as he wrapped his arms around her body while wondering if they were going to take their relationship to the next level. Praying he wouldn't embarrass himself.

Riku slowed his car down as the Chiba Mansion front iron gates came into view. He watched as the guard came out of the guard shack as his mind thought of what to say as to why he was there.

Akiha sat behind the wheel and watched as her son finished filling the car with gas. She looked to Minako as the girl got back into the car after coming out of the gas station with some snacks. Jadeite got back in and asked his sister for his food which was handed to him. Their Mother started her car and pulled back onto the road once more heading towards the Chiba Mansion while her children sat and silently ate their food since it was close to lunch time. None of them had anything more to say as they traveled the road heading towards a new awakening.

Daiki walked to the door and told the guard there to get someone to come and take the portrait he had been staring at off the wall. He wanted to look at it closer. As he waited he walked back to stand in front of it only to move out of the way after four men walked in and with a slow gentle hand, took the large frame off the wall.

"Excuse me Sir but there is an envelope taped to the back." One of the men said looking towards Daiki who walked over and looked also.

He reached and took the envelope and moved so the men could let the frame rest against the fireplace. The four left the room leaving Daiki to look at his name and Mamoru's written on the front of the pale pink envelope with faded red roses. He looked to the picture of his Sister-In-Law since that was where the envelope had been resting. He knew it was from her since it was an envelope from her stationary.

He walked over and sat down on the sofa and gently opened then removed a paper that had the same roses across the top and on the left side only those weren't faded like the ones on the envelope. He smiled remembering that he had been the one who had given her the stationary.

His hand began to shake thinking as to what was in the letter since it had been addressed to him and Mamoru. A chill ran down his back as Narumi's words from earlier rang in his eyes. Daiki wondered if he should go and get Mamoru but knew he wanted to read the letter first.

"Dear Daiki and Mamoru," the letter began as Daiki read.

"I knew one day that the family portrait would be moved by you Daiki and you would find this letter. If you are reading this then I must be dead and I wasn't able to tell you in person. If I am dead I do hope I didn't suffer."

Daiki grinned thinking of the woman's humor.

"I write this letter knowing that the others will be upset if they ever find out but I know you two must be told the truth. Daiki, Mamoru is really your son. I know you are wondering what I mean by that. You see you were our sperm donor. Your Brother couldn't have children; his count was always too low. Daiki, your Parents knowing your Brother needed an heir came up with the idea to use a sperm donor. But it was I who picked you. I didn't want a stranger's seed so I talked your Brother and Parents into taking yours. I have to laugh as I write this remembering that your Father was the first to agree, Your Mother took a week and your Brother….."

Daiki looked away from the letter at that point not wanting to read anymore at that moment. He looked to his Sister-In-Laws picture and had to smile as his eyes shifted to his Brother.

"No wonder you always acted like I had slept with her. You always hated me and Mamoru." Daiki said to the empty room.

He shook his head while folding the letter and gently placed it back into the envelope then stood up and left the room holding onto that envelope with a firm but gentle hold. He got to the grand staircase and stepped on the first step.

"Excuse me Mr. Chiba but we have a problem." Daiki heard and turned his head to the speaker.

"What is it now?" He asked.

"Mr. Riku Aino is at the gate demanding we let him in."

"Tell him no." Daiki said as he started to turn his head forward.

"We did. He mentioned Miss Usagi by her first name." The woman stated watching her boss turning his whole body to look at her.

"Interesting…..let him in."

"Yes sir."

"When he gets to the house, accompany him to the living room and make sure the guards are in place and he doesn't leave that room."

"I understand sir." The woman bowed then walked away as Daiki watched her.

"Riku Riku Riku….What have you found out?" Daiki muttered then headed up the stairs towards the room where he knew Mamoru and Usagi were.

He knocked on the door once then slowly opened it and looked in seeing the two sitting on their bed facing each other. They turned their heads as one towards him. Daiki walked in making sure he closed the door behind him. The two followed his movement as he walked over and stood by a bay window and looked out before he sat on the window seat and turned to the two who could tell by his facial expression that he had found out something.

Usagi was the first to move and be at his side sitting down beside him. Daiki looked away from her to look at Mamoru who had followed Usagi and was standing in front of the man. Daiki handed the young man the envelope.

"It's from your Mother. That's the stationary I had given one year as a gift." Daiki stated watching Mamoru open and remove the letter.

He along with Usagi watched the emotions play on Mamoru's face as he read. When he was done, Mamoru handed the letter back to Daiki before he sat down on a footstool that wasn't far from where the two sat.

"She wrote that nothing was ever on paper about the truth and that's why she wrote this." Mamoru said watching Daiki looking to the envelope before he looked to Mamoru.

The two males just looked at each other while Usagi looked between the two.

"It now makes sense why your Mother always wanted me included in on your Birthdays or anything that was special regarding you." Daiki said.

Mamoru looked down and said, "Do you think that's why… Father didn't like me?"

When Daiki didn't answer Mamoru looked back at him both knowing the answer.

"He didn't like me either so do not take it personal." Daiki told then gave a smile getting one in return. New Father and Son just looked at one another.

"What happens now?" Usagi asked having the two look at her.

"We will deal with it later because first something or should I say someone has shown up looking for you." Daiki said pointing to Usagi.

"Who?" Mamoru asked as he looked to the man then back to Usagi who was looking down already knowing the answer.

"Why! My best friend, my favorite person in the whole wide world!" Daiki told as he continued to look to Usagi who looked to him then to Mamoru then back.

"Riku Aino." Mamoru answered while Daiki glanced back to Usagi.

"I saw him yesterday at the school, gave him a little surprise…..It was fun watching the look on his face." Usagi said then smiled.

"That's why you were quiet as we went home." Daiki stated.

"Yes kind of." Usagi said looking to Mamoru.

"Damn." Daiki said as he stood up.

"Well nothing we can do now. He's here and should be being shown to the living at this time." He then said.

"You don't have to see him." Mamoru said standing up also and looking to Usagi as she stood up.

"No it's time he faced the truth and I have something I want him to know. And I had told myself years ago that if I was ever given the chance to tell him, I would." Usagi said then walked to the door leading the way out and down with Mamoru right behind her and Daiki following the two with a large grin wondering what the girl would tell the man.

When they arrived by the living room, Daiki grabbed Mamoru's arm to stop him from walking in with Usagi.

"Unc…" Mamoru began suddenly wondering what he would call the man now.

"Mamoru we will wait, watch and listen out here. Let Usagi do this alone. She will be fine." Daiki said glancing around noticing the guards were in place.

Mamoru nodded then stood beside the man as they watched Usagi walk into the room and look to Riku as the man stood by a painting wondering how much it had cost.

"I would ask why you are here but I know that answer already. I do have to wonder why after all these years you felt the need to see me." Usagi said as she stood beside the piano and watched as the man turned around to face her.

"Sere?" Riku asked.

"Wrong. I told you that yesterday. I am not my Mother and I will ask you not to say her name ever again. You do not deserve to have her name on your lips." Usagi said.

She watched Riku just standing there gawking at her. The room filled with silence.

"Well, if you have nothing to say then I will leave and get Daiki who will be more than happy to deal with you." Usagi said making Daiki smile in delight.

"No wait!" Riku exclaimed taking a step forward.

Usagi continued to stand in her spot staring the man down refusing to be the first to look away.

Daiki who had let Mamoru's arm go turned to the right after he felt someone touch that arm. He took some steps back. Mamoru never knew the man had moved since he was so focused on Usagi debating on going to stand by her side. He did take a step forward only to stop when he noticed Usagi give a slight shake of her head no as she looked briefly at him then back to Riku who moved his eyes back to her face.

"What is it?" Daiki asked.

"Sir, Mrs. Aino is now here." The woman from earlier told.

"Let her on the grounds and bring her straight to me."

"Yes sir."

Daiki smiled as she walked away.

"Ahh Akiha…..Even better!" He muttered in delight then stepped forward to stand beside Mamoru once more.

Akiha and the twins noticed all the people standing around outside the huge house watching as Akiha pulled her car up behind her husband's.

"I told you Daddy was coming here." Minako said pointing to the man's car.

"No shit."

"Jadeite!"

"Sorry Mom."

The three watched as their car doors were opened by the staff. They each got out and Akiha walked over to stand beside them.

"I'm here to see Da….Mr. Chiba."

"Yes Mrs. Aino Mr. Chiba is expecting you. This way please." The woman said then turned and walked up the walkway to the front doors.

Akiha walked behind her followed by Jadeite and Minako who were once again looking around the yards wishing. They both hoped Mamoru and Usagi were around and would show them around.

"Is Mr. Chiba meeting with my husband?" Akiha asked the woman but didn't receive an answer.

Once they were in the foyer the woman walked away leaving the three by the butler who stood with two other men beside him. They all looked in the direction of the living room when they heard Riku yell out.

Akiha took a step wondering why Riku was arguing with Daiki but she came to a stop when she saw Daiki standing outside the living room. He turned and waved the men who weren't letting Akiha near. She walked towards him and Daiki meet her half way.

"Daiki who is it Riku is yelling at in your living room?" Akiha asked wondering since it wasn't him.

"Akiha, you don't want to go in there. If I was you I would just turn around and leave." Daiki said knowing the woman wouldn't listen.

"My husband is in there so I will join him…..his heart….." Akiha said then took a step around the man.

Daiki grabbed her arm and stopped her. She looked at him noticing how serious his face was.

"I'm warning you for your own good. If you don't listen then don't come to me later saying I didn't try to stop you." He said looking right into her eyes showing that he wasn't playing.

"Whatever Daiki." Akiha said pulling her arm free and continued walking towards the room where she could hear another voice but it was faint.

Daiki shook his head and followed stopping when she did as she looked into the room.

Jadeite and Minako looked at each other then ran to catch up to their Mother stopping when she did and looked as one into the room where they saw Riku with his back to the open archway. They saw that he was standing near Usagi who was now near a reclining chair glaring at their Father and Mamoru was standing near the piano out of Riku's sight.

Akiha took a step to walk into the room but stopped and let her foot drop when her husband talked.

"Your Mother only wanted my money!" Riku said.

"If she had wanted money she would have gone to your wife. She holds the purse strings." Usagi stated calmly, refusing to be the first to look away.

Akiha drew in her breath and held it.

Usagi took a deep breath then said in her soft mature voice, "All Mommy wanted was for you to get to know me better….but you wouldn't. You broke her heart that day when you called me a….a thing the worst thing that ever happened to you, refusing to even acknowledge me."

She watched Riku as his eyes narrowed not believing her.

Jadeite and Minako both brew in some air, and just like their Mother, they held it.

"I remember that day, that morning perfect….she could have….no she should have gone to your wife and tell her how you used her for a good time….how you were using your wife for her money…..but she didn't." Usagi paused then her eyes narrowed and her hands balled up on her sides.

Everyone else listening had their eyes wide open. Akiha leaned on the doorframe not wanting to believe what she was hearing never seeing Daiki as he took a step into the room and stood to the side where Riku couldn't see him. She never noticed when the twins moved as one to stand beside her one on each of her sides.

"You were only five you couldn't have remembered that day!" Riku stated never moving his eyes off Usagi while getting upset that her Mother hadn't shown up. If he could see her and just talk with her he thought.

"I have an IQ that is off the charts! The experts don't even want to give it a number since they don't think it would be right! I also have Hyperthymestic Syndrome! I remember it all! And who wouldn't remember the day their Mother was killed!...Only twenty-one….her whole life still to live!" Usagi said raising her voice knowing she wanted to punch the man who was seen taking a step back, his eyes widening.

"Yes, I remember the day you caused my Mommy to die like it was yesterday." Usagi then said watching the look of disbelief cross the man's face.

"Died….Bullshit!...No... You don't remember anything…..If it's true what did I call your Mother the last time I saw her?" Riku asked not believing that the woman was died, she couldn't be.

Only Usagi saw his face starting to drain of color. Her head tilted to the left.

"The day she died...Which time? When we first arrived at your home while your wife and the twins were gone and you called her your secret little lady love? Or after you saw me then called her a lying whore?" Usagi stated watching the man's eyes widened even more showing she was correct.

Everyone heard his gasp.

"Oh yes I remember that day while Mommy and you were talking….I walked around the house and checked everything out. I looked into Jadeites room seeing his personal things remembering all the clown posters he had at the time and Minako had a thing for white cats. Her bed covering and pillowcases were a bright orange and Jadeites….was a fire red." Usagi said.

She looked over and spotted the two who continued to have their eyes open wide. She looked to Akiha who looked white and pale before looking back to Riku who still hadn't seen his family. For a brief second Usagi considered stopping except it changed as that memory continued to flow, coming in even faster and knowing how that day ended she wanted others to feel her pain. She looked back to Riku.

"I then walked over and looked into the master room. I even walked in and looked at the clean spotless room doing a one hundred eighty and stopping when I saw your wedding picture on your Wife's side of the bed and at that moment I knew I wouldn't be in your life. How could I be when you won't marry Mommy like you had always told her? Lying how you wanted to be the Father I needed." Usagi said as her eyes glossed over remembering.

Riku's head began to slowly move back and forth while his eyes stayed on Usagi's face.

Daiki's grin grew even more knowing that everything in that room was being recorded by more than one camera.

Mamoru feeling Usagi's pain screamed in his head wanting to go to her but he would respect her wish for the moment.

"I went back and looked in the dining room that only had the four chairs, yours, your wife's and your twins…..I walked back into the living room where Mommy stood crying…..I walked over and stood to your right and asked her why she was crying and you turned to me….Made you feel manly hurting me?" Usagi stopped talking and watched Riku's eyes show he was remembering also.

Her eyes came back into focus as she continued to look at Riku as his eyes closed as the memory played out in his head of when he had shoved her from him making her fall against the coffee table. His head movement stopped as he remembered her Mother's eyes looking at him as she held Usagi.

"She died?" He asked then opened his eyes since Usagi didn't answer right away.

"You are guilty of killing two people." She said taking a step to stand right in front of him.

Riku started to shake his head back and forth slow at first then faster even faster than before letting his eyes reclose.

"No she had that abortion." He said as his head moved.

Daiki glanced at Akiha who looked as if she was going to faint. He looked at her children who wore mirrored expressions making him wonder what they were thinking but not really caring. He had tried to warn the woman.

"No she didn't. She was too far along. Mommy was five months didn't you notice the baby bump? She was going to tell you. That was why we were there but you never gave her a chance." Usagi stated as a grin started to form.

Riku's eyes flew open and he took a step back.

"Would have had a little brother I have the ultrasound picture still." Usagi said looking to Jadeite and Minako who looked from her to their Father.

Usagi looked to the man also and watched as he sat down hard on the nearest chair. She walked over to him and placed her hands on the chairs arms and leaned forward. Riku looked up at her that look of disbelief and one of defeat on his face and in his eyes.

Her heart which never had any love for the man refused to even open.

"My little brother is gone and so is my Mother. You are a user and a cheat and I thank the Lord that you weren't in my life and trust me you never will be. I am an orphan. My Father died the same day as my Mommy did. He died the minute he laid his hand on me and pushed me away rejecting me. He died when he told Mommy she and your youngest daughter were better off dead. Guess what half that wish came true but I'm alive and well and I swear to you on my Mother's grave that you will never forget me again. You will see me but will never be close to me wishing. I will never acknowledge you just as you never did me. You are lucky because I am one love child you will never have to worry about." Usagi stated then turned and walked away wishing as she left the room with her head held high that her Mother could have done the same.

But the woman hadn't. No she had fallen to the ground, tears blocking her vision as the only man she had ever loved turned and walked away from her telling her as he left that she and her daughter were better off dead.

Usagi wiped her eyes from the tears for her Mother and turned to Mamoru who had ran after her, grabbed her and wrapped his arms around her body holding her while he lead her into Daiki's office since that was the closest room.

"I'm all right Mamoru." Usagi told as she felt Mamoru's grip tighten.

"I will never let him hurt you again." Mamoru answered as he laid his head on hers which made Usagi smile.

Daiki who had the biggest grin gracing his face walked over to Riku as the man continued to sit. He came to a stop and watched while Riku turned his head to look at him. Daiki was kind enough to have to grin go away.

"I want you out of my house and off my property now. Usagi has never been your problem and never will be because she's mine." He said then leaned forward and whispered, "Riku your problem is by the door." He pointed.

Riku slowly turned his head and his eyes once more widened as he saw Akiha leaning against the arch frame for support and their children who were holding hands just stared at him like he was a stranger.

Daiki took a step back when he heard a helicopter in the distance. He rushed to the window and looked out and watched as his servants and guards all started running around as the helicopter came into view and made its approach to land.

"What is he doing here? He knew I was leaving in a few days to join him….Damn, will this day get any weirder?" Daiki said to himself as he left the room leaving the Aino family alone.

To be continued.
