Avenging Angel: Chapter Four

The Death and the Funeral

Disclaimers: The Usual I don't own Sailor Moon or Weiss Kruez, but the story is mine.



The next day Brad Crawford came for Kenji's answer. Even though he knew full well that Kenji would say no. Therefore he had brought Farfarello, Nagi, and Schuldich, to kill Kenji and his family except for his daughter Usagi.

He found Kenji, his wife Ikuko, and their son Shingo waiting for him in front of the cabin however there was no sign of Tsukino, Usagi anywhere.

"This will just make it easier to convince her too join Takatori-Sama." He thought to himself as he approached the family.

Well Tsukino-San have have you made your decision over Takatori-Sama's offer?" he asked.

Kenji looked at him cooly holding his wife's hand and squeezing his Musuko's shoulder and replied "Hai, Crawford-San. I have discussed it with my wife Ikuko and our children, and we decided that we will not join Reiji- Niichan's political campaign."

Crawford looked at Kenji and his family coldly.

"Very well Tsukino-San, however you and your family have just made the biggest mistake you have ever made and it will now cost you your lives."

Crawford turned his head and nodded his head while giving Schuldich a mental command. The door opened and out came, Schuldich, Nagi, and finally Farfarello.

Schuldich used his telepathic abilities to prevent the Tsukino's from moving. While Nagi used his telekinetic powers to lift them up and put them inside the cabin. Crawford went in after the Tsukino's and his fellow team members followed, closing the door behind them.

When they were inside the cabin, Farfarello looked at them with an insane look in his eye.

"Will killing this family make God cry?" he looked at them even more closely. Kenji was only thankful that his Musume wasn't with them. "He will cry!" And with that said he attacked them, and since they were still under the influence of Schuldich's mental control they couldn't scream or fight back.

While Farfarello attacked them Schuldich smirked at Kenji and mentally told him.

"Don't worry about your daughter, Reiji-San will be taking real good care of her, as will I. I'm really rather attracted to her. She will make a very nice play toy after the election."

Kenji mentally cursed Schuldich just before Farfarello attacked him after killing his wife and son.

As he was dying Kenji looked over at his wife and son who were slowly bleeding to death from their stab wounds and slashes. Ikuko, and Shingo looked back and nodded their heads they all thought the same thing. Usagi- Chan we're sorry." And with that they died.

Two hours later Usagi was running back to the cabin she had gone for a walk and lost all track of time.

"Kuso, Otosan is going too fry me for being late, and not being there to welcome Shuuchi-Oji Chan. I was supposed to be there two hours ago!!!" she mentally cursed to herself.

She had gone out for another one of her walks by new lake and stumbled upon a path that took her deeper in to the woods. The view was breathtaking as always with the Sakura Trees blossoming, and the birds chirping away. She had been so wrapped up in the scenery that she had forgotten to look at her watch to see what time it was.

When she finally reached the lake she saw police cars and the Coroner's van parked out in front of the cabin that she and her family had been staying in.

She paled at the sight of the bodies being rolled out of the cabin.

"Kami-Sama, IIE. Onegai they can't be dead. IIE!!"

She ran down the path to the cabin as fast as she could. (Which as you know she can run really fast when she wants to.) who was standing next to a Policeman taking down a statement from a man in a business suit who had discovered the bodies.

"Excuse me, I'm Tsukino, Usagi. What happened to my family!?!" she asked them.

The Police officer and the businessman stopped talking and looked at Usagi sympathetically.

"Miss Tsukino-San, Gomen, but your family was murdered three hours ago, apparently they came in to the cabin while it was being robbed." The police officer informed her.

Usagi's face turned as white as a sheet, while she fell to the ground, numbly feeling the man in the business suit holding her and telling her that he was her Oji Takatori Shuuchi.

"Iie, it can't be true. IIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!" she screamed in to the wind. While the Police man and her Oji tried to comfort her.

The next couple of days were a blur for Usagi, after her Shuuchi-Oji chan drove her to his mansion. (I guess it's a mansion. I really don't know.) he brought her inside and told a woman with red hair and green eyes what had happened at the resort, and told her to start making arrangements for the funeral. As well as getting Kenji's will and last testament from the court house to find out who was to be Usagi's guardian. The woman named Manx nodded her head and looked at Usagi sympathetically and left.

Shuuchi turned to Usagi and gently took her hand and led her to her room. "I am sorry Usagi-Chan. I was a little late in meeting your Otosan, but he did tell me what Reiji was up too. Is there anyone that you would like to call? A friend maybe?" he asked her while she looked around her new room.

Usagi nodded her head "Haruka, and the others will probably want to know about this. I'll call them later though they are giving a concert tonight and they need to rehearse." She told him.

Takatori-Shuuchi nodded his head and told Usagi that he had to make some phone calls, and that she could take a look around the mansion when she felt up to it.

Usagi nodded her head and her Oji closed the door while he left. She walked to the giand window that had a balcony outside, and opened it. She walked out on to the balcony and gazed up at the Moon. A tear slid down her cheek as she looked up at it. "Otosan, Kassan, Shingo-Chan, I'm sorry. I should have been there to protect you." She said out loud. A few more tears slid down her cheeks and she turned around and walked over to her bed. She climbed in between the sheets and fell asleep. While she slept she dreamed of her family, they seemed to be waiting for some one to arrive. Usagi ran up to them wanting nothing more than to hug them but when she got there she went right through them. Kenji turned around and looked at her.

"This is what really happened to us Usagi-Chan." He told her.

Usagi watched in horror as she saw what happened to her family. From where Crawford came and asked for her Otosan's reply to her family's murder. "There wasn't anything you could have done Usa-Chan, you would have been kidnapped and taken too Reiji to be molded in to a pawn. Just like he does with other people." He told her.

Usagi looked back at her Otosan, and saw her kassan, and Ototo Shingo smiling sadly at her. "Be careful Usagi-Chan. Takatori Reiji is a ruthless man, and he won't stop until he has you by his side." They told her while they faded away. "Don't worry Usagi-Chan we will be watching over you, as well as Shuuchi-Niichan and his team called Weiss Kruez. You can trust them they will make sure that Reiji pays for what he has done." They told her in unison.

Usagi smiled at them while more tears fell down her face. "Aishiteru, Otosan, Kassan, Shingo-chan." She said to them as they faded away smiling at her. "Aishiteru Usagi-Chan." They answered, and then they were gone.

The next morning Usagi walked down the stairs and went to the kitchen for something to eat. "Ohayo, Shuuchi-Oji Chan." she said when she saw him talking to one of the cooks who was making breakfast. He turned around and smiled at her.

"Ohayo, Usagi-chan. Are you hungry?" he asked her.

Usagi nodded and Shuuchi told the cook to make two plates of eggs, bacon, and toast. And then he turned and took Usagi's hand and led her to the Dining Room.

"They will be serving breakfast in here." He told her, "Usagi-Chan, I have made preparations for your family's funeral later on this afternoon. Early, I know but there was an opening at the Funeral Home today."

Usagi nodded her head thankfully at her Oji. And said that she would be ready.

Later that afternoon in the cemetery, Usagi and Shuuchi were standing next to the funeral plots while the minister gave the eulogy. When it was finished Usagi watched as her family's caskets were lowered in to the ground.

"No matter what, Otosan, Kassan, Shingo-Chan. I will avenge you." She said to herself.

She turned around and saw a portly looking man, with the four men responsible for the murder of her family.

"Shuuchi-kun, why didn't you tell me you were going to bury Kenji and his wife, and son today? I would have attended. I just now found out when Crawford-San showed me the paper from the church records." Takatori-Reiji said with a false sad look on his face.

Shuuchi glared at his Niisan and answered "I left a message, Reiji-Kun but your secretary told me that you were busy at the courthouse." He had a pretty good idea what Reiji had been doing over there.

"Well, that's true. I take it that this is our Mei, Usagi-Chan he looked at her speculatively. And he wasn't the only one. A tall man with Red/Orange hair wearing a green bandana on his head and sunglasses covering his eyes was also looking at her.

"She is beautiful." Schuldich thought to himself.

Usagi glared coldly at the four men surrounding her other Oji-Reiji. One of them was the young boy she met at the resort, and then later led to her family's cabin.

"Oji-Reiji-San." she said politely, but her tone was still a bit cold.

Reiji turned his attention from Shuuchi and looked at his Mei. She was very pretty with her Sun-Gold hair, and Sapphire Blue eyes. "Usagi-Chan, I look forward too seeing you again." He told her and then he and his bodyguards turned and left. Leaving Usagi and Shuuchi watching them go.

"Usagi-Chan, perhaps we should be going as well. It looks like it's going to rain." He told her and she nodded.

They walked down the pathway to Shuuchi's car when a red sports car pulled up next to it and five people came out. (Guess whom.)

"Usagi-Chan, we just heard the news we are so sorry." Rei, and the other former Inner Senshi said sounding insincere. Mamoru walked up "Yeah Usako, That's really a shame." He smirked.

Usagi noticed that both her Oji's Shuuchi, and Reiji were watching and listening.

"Thanks." She said, and then started making her way to Shuuchi's car again.

"How did it happen, Usako." She heard Mamoru say snidely and she turned looking about ready to punch this loud mouth Baka-Yaro.

"A botched up robbery." She said coldly.

Mamoru and the others were not getting the message that Usagi was clearly giving them. Leave me alone, or face the consequences.

Mamoru stepped up and put his hand roughly on Usagi's shoulder and whispered in her ear. "Couldn't have happened to a nicer Bitch." He sneered.

That was the final straw. Usagi whirled around and punched Mamoru in the gut and then in the nose. Then she turned to her former friends and said in a decidedly deadly voice. "Get-Out-Of-Here-Right-Now-Or-Suffer-The- Consequences." She said her voice was as cold as an iceberg. The former Inner Senshi took one look at her and grabbed Mamoru who was out cold on the street, got back in the car and took of tires screeching.

Usagi looked at her Oji's and said, "It's a long story." While she climbed in to the passenger seat.

Shuuchi shook his head and climbed in already knowing who those people were and making up his mind to have a restraining order placed on those five. Reiji on the other hand turned to Schuldich and asked "What was that all about?'

Schuldich smirked and replied. "Those were your Mei-Usagi-Chan's former friends and Fiance, they had all betrayed her trust and she had really let them have it."

Reiji looked toward his Mei and decided that these foolish people could be used to get Usagi on his side. If he got them to make her really angry, she might turn to him for help. "Crawford, I want you to find out all you can about those five, and set it up so

Usagi-Chan will want them dead."

Crawford nodded his head and Reiji and his bodyguards got in to their limosuine and drove away.
