SailorStar9: Well, Chapter 53 is out and this is Chapter 54. Important note: This IS an anti-Usagi fic! If you don't like what I've done, then don't read it! Remember boys and girls, reviews are an author's subsistence. So, please be a dear and read and review. And is it so difficult for you guys to review instead of just putting this fic up in your favorites and alerts?
Disclaimers: I do not own Sailor Moon or the pairings. If I did, the other Senshi would be as powerful as Sailor Moon and kicking MOTD ass more often. The only thing I do own is the plot.
Chapter 54: The Extended Uzumaki Family
"Bella's previous owner wants to take over Bella." Yukino informed her daughter over the phone. "But she doesn't have the funds yet so she asked me to give her a week."
"Give her some time then." Yuki replied. "We should sell it to her since she's familiar with the shop."
"That's what I think too." Yukino concurred. "So run both shops until then."
"There is one more thing," Yuki voiced. "Is it really okay for me to do what I want with Mamoru's mother's land?"
"Of course." Yukino gave the go-ahead. "Do what you want with it."
"Okay, then." Yuki nodded. "I understand. Rei," she turned to her new adoptive sister. "You heard what mum said. I'm giving it to you as your dowry when Demando-aniki marries you."
"Thanks nee-chan." The newly renamed Uzumaki Rei kissed her new sister.
If you are wondering just how Rei entered the Uzumaki family; it's simple. The Chiba family was on a one-way path of destruction and she should've seen it coming, especially when it came out that Haruno Usagi was burakumin. Her family, more importantly, her brother had dealings with the untouchable; it was a miracle that her father didn't disown Mamoru for doing the nasty with Haruno. With Yuki revealing herself as the Uzumaki clan's heiress, Rei knew it was only a matter of time before the Uzumaki's full vengeance rained upon the Chiba family. So, following the revelation of Yuki and Ami being one and the same person, Yuki had convinced Rei to strike her name off the Chiba family register before she went down with the family in disgrace. After that, it was merely a simple legal procedure to adopt Rei into the Uzumaki family, seeing how Yuki had considered Rei to be family when she (Yuki) was still Mizuno Ami.
"Sapphir Uzumaki left these for you." Minako entered the office with a bouquet of flowers and a cake box.
"Thanks." Yuki smiled at the blonde.
"No," Minako corrected. "Makoto and I… we should be thanking you. You saved us from Haruno, despite what Mako-chan did to you."
"You are my friends when I was Mizuno Ami," Yuki reminded. "An Uzumaki never forgets or abandons his friends."
"I'll deliver coffee to you every morning, along with flowers that have your scent." Rei read over Yuki's shoulder at the new SMS. "I love you. "Damn, Sapphir-nii sure is besotted with nee-chan." she joked.
"And how's Demando-aniki, imouto-chan?" Yuki gave Rei a sly grin, the raven beauty flushing in embarrassment.
SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
