AN: Sorry that I took so long to update. I had tons of midterms last week. This chapter is dedicated to Usa-chan, happy 18th birthday! Uranus2000, SilverRay, Aidenn, Chibi Megami Astraea, Comet~princess, and everyone else who reviewed!
Chapter 5
"What took you so long Usagi?" Quatre asked as the Shinimegami walked out of the women's locker room. A satisfied smirk told the pilots that something must have happened. All the guys had finished changing into their gym clothes almost ten minutes ago, and they were waiting rather impatiently for their bunny to come out. It took all of Quatre's persuasion, and Trowa and Wufei's strength to keep Hiiro and Duo from charging into the women's locker room. Hiiro was of course worried about his imouto. It was still hard for Trowa, Wufei, and Quatre to believe that Usagi was indeed Hiiro's new imouto, only Duo's constant pinching convinced that it was not just a dream. On the other hand, Duo was concerned about his Juliet (well not officially his, but close enough), also he would never miss a chance to see his goddess in a state of undress for anything.
"I had to take care of some business first," right after the words left her mouth, a line of boys scrambled out of women's locker rooms, screaming as they ran into the field, a roaring white tiger nipping and biting at their heels. Anger settle onto the faces of the pilots, before it was replaced by amusement and shock as Byakko sunk his sharp teeth into the bottom of an unfortunate soul.
"No wonder there was no one in the men's locker rooms," Duo wondered out loud as Byakko chased the peeping toms around the soccer field. Thank god that Hiiro threatened to kill him if he even step one step towards the women locker room, or else, it could be his bum that Byakko sunk his teeth in.
A whistle momentarily stopped the cat and mouse game between Byakko and the guys. Haruka walked onto the field in shorts and a tank top, the tank top clearly revealed that Haruka was indeed a woman.
"Good to see that you six aren't ditching my class," the gym teacher winked at the blonde girl, who was in the act of taking out her odangos and putting it into a high ponytail.
"I can't believe this! This is injustice! You are an onna?! I thought that blonde onna was just kidding when she said that Haruka was a woman! I will not train under a weak onna, this is dishonourable!" the Chinese boy ranted as he glared at the tall woman, daring her to say something.
"Is that so Chang? What would you prefer? Oh I know, you could go and keep Her Highness, the princess Relena company if you don't want to be in my class. She was in the garden when I last saw her. If you don't want to take my class, you can go learn pacifism from our beloved princess," Haruka smirked as Wufei paled at the mention of the psychopath's name.
Admitting defeat, the pilot of Shinlong settled to curse the whole female sex under his breath.
"Good, but I'm not finished with you yet Chang. I want 100 push ups, 100 sit ups, and 50 laps around the soccer field right now…"
"W…what… why…?" were the only words out of Wufei's mouth as his jaw hit the ground.
"Punishment for your dishonourable behaviour towards your teacher. Get a move on it Chang!"
Duo laughed as Wufei's jaw fell to the ground. "Yeah Wu-man, better get a move on it, or else there won't be anyone to save you from Relena."
"How many times do I have to tell you Maxwell, DO NOT CALL ME WU-MAN!" the solitary dragon gritted out through his teeth as he started his push ups.
"Sure thing Wu-man!"
With a growl, the Chinese pilot was about to get up, when suddenly a weight landed on his back, efficiently knocking the air out of him, and smashing Wufei to the ground.
Chibi-Natakus danced around the Chinese boy's head as Wufei struggled to breath.
"I haven't finished yet Chang." the smirk still graced Haruka's handsome face. "You have to do the push-ups while Usagi sits on your back. And you will have to carry her when you are doing your fifty laps around the field."
Duo couldn't hold it in any longer as a yelp of laughter erupted from his mouth. The other pilots were not immune to this either. Trowa was smirking, while Quatre tried to hid his giggles behind his hand. Hiiro was chuckling quietly to himself as he winked to his imouto, who settle comfortable on Wufei's back, grinning like a pleased Cheshire cat.
"This, hahaha, is priceless!" Duo chocked out between laughers. "Haruka-san, can I be excused for five minutes?"
"Why?"
"I want to go get my camera."
"I normally don't excuse students," the sandy blonde teacher trailed off, but at the pitiful look that Duo gave her, Haruka relented. "but since this is a special occasion that deserves to be remembered, I'll give you one minute."
Without giving a thank you, a trail of dust appeared as the God of Death zoomed back to his dorm. Exactly 47 seconds later, the braided boy zoomed back with camera in hand.
"This is going to be a classic!" the pilot of Deathsycthe said as he focused the lens toward Wufei who was attempting to do a push up with a hyperactive blonde using his back as a trampoline. "This will go into Duo's book of Wufei torture Hall of Fame! Hey Usagi, say cheese!"
The bouncing bunny stopped momentarily in her play to pose for the camera, as the flash went off for at least twenty times.
"Let's see, twenty copies. The next time that Wu-man threatens me, it'll be a picture for Hiiro, one for Quatre, one for Trowa, one for Relena, one for Sally, one for Une, one for Mariemaia, one for each doctor, one for Howard. Am I missing anyone?" The braided one counted off his fingers.
"Zechs and Noin," Trowa quietly supplied.
"And don't forget Purr, she just called to asked for 100 copies," Usagi called out between jumps as she turned off her cell phone.
"Who's Purr?" Duo asked confused.
"Let's just say the wacko fanfic author that decided to put Wu-man through all this."
"Oh." A look of understanding came to Duo's face. "Tell her to do it more often!"
"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Wufei howled out as he tried his best to glare at the author. ( AN: Eep! Someone save me, Wu-man is going to chop me into pieces!)
"Sucks to be you Wu-man. You're just everyone's favourite torture subject!" the Shinimegami said from above the Chinese boy.
"Usagi how much do you weigh?" a red faced Wufei asked.
"Oh, about 104 Ibs. Why?" the bunny asked innocently.
"Because it feels to me that you weigh a ton!"
All the girl's dropped their mouth. How stupid is he? What kind of insensitive lout would insult a girl's weight?
"Actually, it's more like 504 Ibs."
"What?!?!"
The Shinimegami smirked before lifting up her hands and feet. "You see the wrist and ankle weights?"
The pilots nodded, as they saw the ordinary white fluffy guards.
"Well, they're 100Ibs. Each. So adding that to my 104Ibs, it's 504Ibs in total."
The pilot's reaction: ????????????????? "Soooooo, if that's true, how is that humanly possible? Not even the Perfect Soldier could bear so much weight," Duo asked unbelieving.
"That's a mystery. And who said that I was human?" Usagi winked at the surprised boys.
"That's enough Usagi. Let's give Chang a break, I don't think that he could survive if you continue to torture him like this," Haruka told the blonde girl, as she finally took pity on the exhausted Chinese boy. That'll teach him to call me a weak onna!
"But I didn't say that you could get out of your punishment Chang." the comment sent Wufei back to his push ups.
"As for the rest of you…" the gym teacher looked at the new group of boys that came panting back after finishing their game tag with Byakko, each was rubbing a part of their lower body in pain. The said white tiger walked up to his mistress, looking quite pleased with himself, as he laid down on the grass besides Usagi.
"We're going to do a few stretches, and start the season with soccer."
All the guys attempted to do some stretches, while the girls walked over to the benches and started gossiping, except for Usagi. The shinimegami immediately slide into a perfect split, and reached to touch her left foot, holding the position for one minute, before repeating the same procedure with her right foot.
Duo, who was beside the girl, stared wide eyed. "Usagi-chan, doesn't that hurt?"
"No, I'm used to it. This is what I always do before I exercise."
"Ow, I'm in pain just by watching you!" the braided boy unconsciously rubbed his legs together.
Another whistle stopped further conversations. "Alright people, get into two teams. You all know the basic rules of soccer, a goalie, and you decided between yourselves who wants to be defence and offence."
All the gundam pilots were in the same team, plus a few others and Usagi, that was until…
"Onna, you can't play soccer," Wufei panted out between his sit ups.
"Oh yeah! Who says?" Wufei shrunk back, as the small blonde advanced towards him.
"Actually, it's a school rule. Girls could only fence, ride, and be on the cheerleading team," Haruka decided to help the unfortunate pilot of Shinlong.
"And who made up this stupid rule?" the question was calmly asked, but everyone shuddered at the anger that was poorly hidden in those furious sapphire eyes.
"Relena. She said that it was improper for educated young ladies to sweat like men," Duo mimicked in a false voice.
"Oh screw her!" The sky darkened and a peal of thunder was heard, as if to respond to Usagi's inelegant outburst.
"I'm sorry Usagi, but I have to follow the rules. But I'll make a deal with you, if one of the soccer players goes off, you can be his back up," Haruka comforted the pouting girl. Inside she agreed with Usagi, just because Relena doesn't want to break a nail playing, she shouldn't prevent the other girls from enjoying themselves.
Grumbling under her breath, Usagi half heartily caught the pair of pom-poms and stick Haruka threw at her direction. Secretly promising herself to get even with the Queen of the World later.
Duo smiled as he watched the sulking bunny walk towards the other girls, admiring the way her pouting lips imitating a perfect rose bud, and how those pom-poms flapped against those creamy long legs. No matter what she does, she's always so perfect. A voice snapped him out of his daydream.
"She'll be mine Maxwell."
"She's not an object Vince," the braided boy drawled out dangerously low, "you can't just forcefully claim her like some kind of a object, she's a human being." The cold amethyst eyes glared at the other boy, who dared to speak about his Usagi in that way. Wait, his?
"She's just like the other girls I've had. Just watch Maxwell, she'll fall into my hands like the other."
Their conversation was stopped as the game began. Duo walked over to Hiiro, they were playing offence with, Trowa and Quatre defence, and a some other guy as the goalie.
"What's wrong?" Normally Hiiro wouldn't have cared, but he saw the exchange between his partner and Vince, and from the silent way the braided one walked back, the Perfect Soldier could tell that something was wrong.
"We have to watch that bastard Vince. He's got his sights set on Usagi," Duo glared at the boy, who was talking to his friends on the opposite team, occasionally stealing glances at oblivious Usagi.
"Hn…" After knowing Hiiro and his hn language for so long, the braided boy knew that there was more danger packed into that one single syllable than a hundred mobile dolls. Vince is going to wish that he was never born by the time the two pilots finish with him.
Meanwhile, Usagi sat on the benches listening to the other girls gossip, while following the actions of her niichan and Duo.
"I know, and his hair! Not many guys have long hair, because they think that it's too girlish. But with Duo, he's just drop dead gorgeous! I would do anything to go on a date with him," a girl name Tara said next to Usagi, who's head snapped up at the mention of Duo's name on another's lips.
"Yeah, I know what you mean. And look at that body! He's not too buff like Vince, but not totally scrawny either. And his cute little ass," here the girl who was talking sighed deeply. "It's so hard not to give into the temptation to squeeze it."
That's it! How dare they talk about my Duo-chan like that! No one is allowed to squeeze his cute little ass except for me! Usagi's self control disappeared, before a realization hit her. What a minute, my Duo-chan?The shinimegami put a hand on her cheeks as she realized that she was blushing at the thought of touching Duo's bottom. Following the braided boy with her eyes as he scored a point, Usagi had to admit that from here, Duo did have a "cute little ass" as the other girl said.
"GO DUO!" The Shinimegami screamed before catching herself. Turing her eyes, she hoped that the braided boy would mistaken her for another girl. But the god of death chose that moment to turn and catch Usagi's eyes, before giving a two thumbs up accompanied with a heart breaking smile that immediate sent blood rushing to the blonde girl's face.
At that moment, when Duo wasn't paying attention, Vince and two of his friends "accidentally" knocked over the braided boy. "DUO!" The shinimegami screamed in horror as the pilot of Deathcythe's face scrunched up in pain. This time it wasn't a trick. Even from the benches, Usagi could see the tell tale drops of crimson on the grass. Not caring what the others thought of her, the bunny ran into the field, with only one thought in mind, to heal duo. When she got there, Haruka and all the gundam pilots were already by Duo's side.
"Niichan! Is Duo okay?" Usagi asked Hiiro who was examining the other boy's leg.
"A small facture, it's not that bad, but the veins attached to the bones are torn. We need to get him to the nurses office fast," the emotionless soldier answered, a flick of worry in his eyes. "Someone has go with him."
"I'll go!" Usagi volunteered before kneeling next to the braided boy whose eyes were glazed with unshed tears of pain. "Duo-chan, can you stand up?"
"Don't worry about me Usagi…it takes more than this to stop me," Duo said between breaths as he smirked at Vince. The bigger boy was practically fuming when he saw how worried Usagi was over Duo.
"Here, lean on my should," the blonde girl carefully helped Duo up. "I'll go to the nurses office with you. Careful!" Usagi cried out in alarm at the suddenly pained expression on Duo's face, when the braided boy hit his injured leg.
"The show's over people. Get back to you places!" Haruka shooed away the crowd that gathered around Duo and Usagi.
Step by step, with Usagi under his arm, helping him, the two made their way to the nurse's office. The rest of the pilots watched the couple go, with a smile on their faces. It looked like Duo and Usagi finally made up.
"I wonder who injured Duo?" Quatre wondered out loud.
"Hn…" the rest of the pilots looked at the perfect soldier, who was glaring at Vince. The other boy was smirking to himself, unaware of the glares the four assassins sent him.
"Shall we?" Trowa asked. With a evil look in their eyes, Quatre, Hiiro, and Trowa went back to the soccer field. Vince was going to have a taste of his own medicine very soon…
Wufei was about to follow the others when again, something landed on his back. Thank the gods that this time, it wasn't as heavy. But suddenly two arms surrounded his neck, cutting off his air supply as the person on top of him glomped him. "Wu-chan!"
"Onna! What's the meaning of this?" the enraged Chinese boy screamed at Haruka, while trying to get the girl off of his back.
The gym teacher shrugged. "Usagi isn't here, so we had to find someone else to take her place. Meet Usa-chan aka Sailor Ronin. It's her 18th birthday, so Purr-chan decided to let the birthday girl have her favourite bishoonen," Haruka smirked before continuing. "which is you. So now you can do your 50 laps around the field carrying Usa-chan!"
"This is injustice! I swear upon Nataku Purr-chan, I'll get my revenge!" Wufei roared out (AN: hides behind Li-kun. Happy Birthday Usa-chan, why don't I lend Wufei to you for a few days? I'm still too young to die!)
Having no choices left, the pilot of Shinlong had to start running with Usa-chan constantly chocking off his air supply. (AN: Don't glomp him so hard Usa-chan ^_~. )
*Nurse's office*
*knock knock* "Is anyone there?" Usagi asked anxiously when Duo tried hard to hold on longer.
A muffled answer came through the door. With out waiting any longer, the blonde girl opened the closed door, only to stare in surprise at the scene in front of her. Beside her, Duo gasped, momentarily forgetting his pain.
"Luna? Artemis?" the shinimegami practically screamed out at the kissing couple in front of her. The guilty pair sprang away from each other like two adolescents, blushing furiously.
"Um yes, may I help you?" the small purple haired woman asked Usagi and Duo, who just froze in their spot.
"Oh my, what happened to you?" the woman asked Duo when neither of the teenagers spoke.
Usagi had to clear her voice a few times before she could use it again. "Excuse me, but my boyfriend is injured, could you help him?"
The white haired man immediately moved up to help Duo sit on the bed. "That's a pretty nasty bruise you got, how did you get it?"
"I was careless in gym class."
"I'll go get the bandages. Art, can you get the crutches for me please?" the woman asked the white haired man who nodded before the two left. Leaving Duo and Usagi alone.
"You don't have to hid it anymore Duo-chan. I know you are in a lot of pain."
"Well yeah. I'm not exactly like the Perfect Soldier who could reset his own leg," a hiss came out when Usagi moved to touch the bleeding area.
"Grab something, this might hurt a little," Usagi was about to snap back the bones when Duo stopped her.
"Usagi wait, before you do it, I have to know. You never answered my question," the braided boy tilted Usagi's head up, to stare into the sapphire eyes.
"Baka, didn't you hear what I said to Luna?" the bunny blushed under Duo's intense amethyst eyes.
"That I was your boyfriend? Yes I heard, but I just have to know. Did you truly mean it? Or are you just using me as an excuse to get rid of those other boys?" The braided boy asked softly.
The shinimegami gasped. Did Duo really think that she was that kind of girl? Ever since she died, she had completely isolated herself from all male contact. In one thousand years, he was the first man to break through the wall of ice that she surrounded her heart with. Looking back at Duo, for once she let her feelings show through her eyes, as she slowly leaned forward, capturing Duo's lips in a chaste, sweet kiss. Giving her answer in the small contact. Duo sighed against the soft lips, as Usagi surrendered herself to him, before pulling away and grinning his usual cheeky grin.
"O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear;
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!
So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows,
As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows.
The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand,
And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand.
Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight!
For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night."
Usagi giggled before playful slapping Duo's cheek. "You're such a flirt."
The smooth operator caught the slap just before it landed on his cheek. Bring the slender hand to his lips, he watched his girlfriend turn a pretty pink color as he bent down and pressed a kiss the back.
"Duo, stop it. I still have to reset your leg!"
The braided boy gave a goofy grin, if seemed like Usagi's confession just erased all the pain he felt before. "Sure go ahead. I'll be a happy man even if I have to die, as long as you with me." Duo joked, but still gripped the mattress tightly as Usagi put her hand on his leg.
A sharp crack was heard in the silent room, before a loud hiss escaped from Duo's lips. Usagi looked up quickly to see how white the pilot's face became. Looking back, she noticed that the door was closed and Luna and Artemis was still gone, the shinimegami made up her decision. It would be risky to heal Duo while he was still conscious, but it would be better to leave him suspicious than in pain. Bending over the injured leg, a golden light appeared around Usagi's hand as she laid it over the wound. The shinimegami tensed as she heard Duo's gasp, as the boy felt the warm energy entering his body, mending the broken bones and the torn veins. When the last blood disappeared, Usagi looked up at the shocked expression on Duo's face. Neither said anything, as they stared into each others eyes.
The opening of the door brought their attention to the nurse and her assistant. "Here, I found the bandages…" the words trailed off as Luna looked wide eyed at the healed boy. "How?"
"I'm a fast healer," Duo said quickly before grabbing Usagi's wrist and pulling her out of the nurse's office. "Thank you for your help!"
Usagi cried before the couple disappeared into the hall way.
"Artemis, did she seem familiar to you?" Luna asked her fiancé.
"Yes, I feel like we've known each other before, but the funny this is, I can't remember where," Artemis replied before pulling Luna into his embrace.
*In the hall way*
"Usagi?" Duo asked his girlfriend, as the two made their way to their next class, which was chemistry. The gym class had ended a few minutes ago. "I know that you are hiding something from us. I just want to tell you that I won't push you, but just know that both Hiiro and I will be there when you want to talk about it okay?"
Usagi nodded, letting out a breath that she didn't know she had been holding. The two finally made it to their chemistry class just in time as the bell rang.
"Duo, how's your leg?" Quatre asked as he saw the braided boy skip up to the group.
"Perfectly fine!"
"How's that? It was bleeding when you left us!"
"Well, lets just say that everything is possible when you have a goddess beside you," the pilot of Deathscythe grinned as he put a possessive arm around Usagi. Hiiro lift up a eyebrow as he saw the gesture, but decided not to say anything. "Hey, where's Wu-man?"
"Hush Maxwell! And don't call me Wu-man," the loud whisper came from under the table.
"Yo Wu-man, how come you're under the table?"
"Hiding"
"From whom?"
"It's a long story Duo," Trowa spoke for the shivering Chinese boy.
"So, what happened with Vince?" Usagi decided to change the subject.
"Oh him," Hiiro said as Usagi came to sit between her niichan and boyfriend. "Let's say that he'll be spending the next six month at the intensive care unit."
"Oh" Both Usagi and Duo nodded, as they hid their giggles, as the class started.
"Good afternoon class," a male voice said from the door way, as a handsome man walked in. He had long blond hair and a pair of glasses.
Usagi's jaws dropped as she recognized the person. Watari? What is he doing here? She quickly raised her hand. "Excuse me sir, I'm new here, and I was told to talk to all my teachers before class starts."
Watari nodded, before walking out of the classroom with Usagi close behind. (AN: In Yami no Matsuei, Watari Yutaka is also a shinigami. He loves to tamper with chemical experiments in his free time.
"What are you doing here Watari? Should you be at the land of the dead, working on your sex changing medicine?" the shinimegami asked in a low threatening voice.
"Calm down Usagi-chan! I didn't get any new assignments, and I was bored. So, Konoe sent me to the living world to see how you were doing. He was worried that with your temper and dislike of men, you might kill the five you are protecting in a moment of rage. But I see that you are getting along just fine," the blond shinigami winked at his colleague.
"I'll take that answer for now. Tell me why is Tatsumi here?"
"Pretty much for the same reason. And plus, he was really worried about you. To him, you're like the daughter he never had, of course he's going to look after you on a long mission like this. We better get back, the students are getting noisy."
The two gods of death quickly went back. Usagi ignored the questioning looks the pilots gave her and sat down.
"We are going to do a redox experiment today. Here are the instructions, and follow them carefully," Watari handed out the papers and picked a boy to hand out the equipments.
"Each bench will work as a group. You'll need two metal rods, one made out of zinc and the other tin, two salt solutions, one ammeter, and a salt bridge for this lab. Good luck, you have till the end of this period." Watari explained. (AN: I know, I know, I'm a science geek. But can't help it, I had a wonderful chemistry teacher in high school)
"This is so boring! Can't we do something fun?" Duo complained.
"This is school Duo-chan. Schools are designed to torture you, not give you pleasure," Usagi murmured as she played around the two metal rods. The zinc one was nice and soft, almost like a piece of clay. Hiiro frowned as he looked at the piece of metal. Something wasn't right. Zinc is a hard metal, so why is it so soft?
"Oh well, let's start," the shinimegami sighed, as she put the metal rods inside the solutions.
A soft buzzing sound came from the solution containing the zinc rod, as it began to frizz. Realization hit Hiiro like a ton of bricks. This wasn't zinc, it's sodium! The perfect soldier quickly pulled the confused Usagi out of the way and dragged her across the room. The other pilots quickly noticed the difference and took cover too. A loud boom was heard as the beaker containing the rod shattered, sending glass shreds everywhere. (AN: Pure sodium metal is an extremely reactive metal. And it is really soft, it has to be stored in oil in order to keep it from reacting with the oxygen in the air. At my friend's school, a group of students blew up a toilette just by dropping a piece of sodium metal into the bowl, because the sodium reacted with the oxygen in the water. I swear that it's true, if you don't believe me, ask your chemistry teacher.)
Usagi hid her face in Hiiro's chest as he covered her from the flying glass. So, this was the first attempt made by the Earl. Lifting her eyes, she caught sight of the boy who handed out the metal carefully leaving the room. With a predatorily look, the shinimegami pushed away from Hiiro's embrace and chased after the fleeing figure.
Hiiro and the others was about to chase after Usagi when the teacher's voice stopped them.
"Could you five clean up the mess first?" Watari asked the gundam pilots, trying to buy time for the shinimegami as she hunts down the assassin.
Hiiro and Duo gave Watari the death glare and was about to rush out, when the chemistry teacher blocked the door. "I'll let you out when you are finished," Watari said in a serious tone.
Meanwhile, Usagi ran down the hall way, following the running boy in front of her. It wasn't hard to tell that the student was not human. A wicked grin came to her face as her prey came to a dead end.
"Who sent you here?" the shinimegami asked in a cold voice.
"None of your business!" the boy sneered transformed in to scaly creature.
The goddess snarled at the other, immediately recognizing that the assassin was a low class demon. "I'm only asking you once, or you'll really regret it. Who. Sent. You. Here? "
"You'll have to kill me to find out!" The demon growled out as it slashed out with its claws at the shinimegami.
A twisted grin formed on the her blood red lips, as Usagi looked at the creature. The school suddenly darkened, as a unholy mist filled the empty hallway. The shadows on the floors melted together and came to life at the command of their mistress.
"Don't say that I didn't warn you," the shinimegami said in a sing along voice. She smiled as the shadows leapt at demon, trapping the assassin in a chocking grip. "I'm going to give you one more chance. Who sent you to kill the gundam pilots?"
The demon's lips made a talking sound, indicating that he wanted to speak. Thinking that the her captive was going to tell her, Usagi loosened the chains of shadow, allowing the demon to talk freely. "He never told me you were this strong. He only told me that you were a spirit working for Konoe."
"Obviously, they haven't told you all of my of information," Usagi smirked as she decided to reveal her true form. Closing her eyes, a vortex of shadow surrounded the shinimegami, encasing her in a cocoon of darkness. When the shadows disappeared again, a pair of bat like wings stretched proudly from Usagi's back. Her pupils contract to slits like the eyes of a large cat, and took on a inhuman metallic blue hue. Her silver blonde hair was no longer in its odangos, and instead, spilled freely in a stream of white silk down her back.
"The Shinimegami!" the demon whispered in horror as he stared at the most powerful creature of the land of the dead.
The goddess of death smiled before lifting her blood red nails. "I see that you know me now. But if you're not going to tell me what I want to know…" the shadow chains around the demon's neck tightened again.
The prisoner quickly nodded his head. Everyone in the underworld knew what the shinimegami was capable of in her wrath. Normally a calm and kind person, in battle, any who opposed her were all destroyed mercilessly.
Usagi smiled before turning back to her human form, calmly waiting for her prisoner to speak. The demon opened its mouth, but before even one syllable came out, a sharp object flew straight into his heart. The creature gave one shrill cry before it disintegrated into a pile of dust. The object that killed him landing in the pile of ashes.
Usagi stared unseeingly at the object standing proudly in the ashes. No, it couldn't be true! Shivers made its way from her heart to her body as the confident goddess trembled while memories of her past took over her mind.
"Usagi!" Hiiro and Duo cried as they finally found their bunny. As soon as they had finished their task of cleaning away the glass shreds, the two pilots had ran out of the class, looking for their loved one. Only to find the blonde girl shaking with fear.
"Duo, she's in shock. Take her back to the dorm right now. I'll tell the others," Hiiro picked up his imouto in his arms and handed her to the braided boy. Usagi was still trembling uncontrollably, her eyes were glazed, and was murmuring things under her breath.
The two pilots quickly turned away, leaving the empty hallway, and the pile of ashes with the red rose standing proudly in the middle…
AN: Finally finished! I know that this chapter might seem a little confusing. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email me. I have a new email now! I'm so happy! It's
P.S. To Aidenn, thank you so much for agreeing to write a Tamahome/Usagi story. Maybe you can make Usagi into Hotohori's sister. And make her run away from home because she wants to see the outside world, and make Tamakins save her somehow.
