Schätzchen means Sweetheart.Its german.

Hiya girls!I have been really good lately, exept that I got my period on monday.I am even more in love with my boyfriend.He is so wonderful and has so much respect for women.And he has the nicest name: Vincent.His name is Latin and means 'Conquering'.Love conquers all, his name means conquering and I love him and he loves me.Go figure.Let me describe him quickly, think Momiji/Kyo crossover and you'll have a good idea of what he's like.He's so sweet.And his cousin and I have so much in common that its scary, but anyway, thats not what you came here for.So, without further gushing about Vincent, I present to you Strawberry Girl Chapter 14

Angel and Mercy have now been living with the Sohma's for several months (A/N: Which means that Momiji is now 16) and its now about a week before Angel's 16th birthday.Even though several months had past, Mercy still couldn't walk too good.She was able to walk without her crutches, but wasn't able to run, walk and/or stand for more than 3 hours or else she would get the most horrible pain shooting through her back, she'd colapse and she wouldn't be able to walk for 2 days.Sometimes Angel would have to carry her.

"Yaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwnnnnn...!" Angel yawned as she laid in her bed with her eyes closed, not wanting to wake up yet.And then she felt something annoyingly familiar...The feeling of a, now, six-year-old jumping on the bed."Uuuuuuuggggggghhhhhhhhhh...Meeeeeercyyyyyy...Just once could you not jump on my bed to wake me up!" Angel asked the younger Valentine as she pulled the covers over her head.

"But if I don't, you won't get up." Mercy said.'Thats true...' Angel thought."Maybe I would get up if I was able to do it at my own pace...!" Angel said."Oh c'mon, Sis.We're going to the mall today, remember?" Mercy asked.Mercy kept whining at her sister for ten minutes.Angel sighed."Mercy, if I get up,will you shut up?" Angel asked as she looked up at her sister.Mercy silently crossed her heart with her index finger."Okay..." Angel said.She sat up and ruffled her little sisters hair.

FLASHFORWARD

"C'mon Kitten!Your the one that wanted to get there early!" Angel yelled over her shoulder as she and Tohru walked outta the house. "Keep your shirt on, Sis!I'm coming!" Mercy yelled back to her older sister."Why the hell would I take it off in the first place?ITS FREEZING OUT HERE!" Angel yelled.

FLASHFORWARD

"Phew!Talk about shop 'til you drop!" Angel said as she, Mercy and Tohru flopped down into chairs at the food-court.They had each gotten a present for everyone and Angel insisted that she pay for the gifts that Tohru bought.Tohru eventually gave in."Hey guys.You here Christmas shopping too?" The three girls turned towards the familiar voice and saw that Uo was the one that had said it and that Hana was with her.

"Arisa-cher!" (A/N: 'Cher' means 'Dear' in french) Mercy said as she ran over and hugged the older girl, whom she had become very fond of."Hi Shorty!' Uo responded."Yaaaawn!Yeah.We're Christmas shopping.We were just gonna get something to eat.Wanna join us?My treat." Angel said/asked."Yes.That would be nice." Hana said.

"So who wants what?" Angel asked.And, of course, everyone wanted something different.Once they all had their food, they sat around the table talking.And then the subject of presents came up."Hana and I got you two very nice presents, Shorty." Uo said.At the word 'presents', Mercy's head snapped up from sucking her milkshake to the bags that Hana and Uo had with them.

Uo and Hana felt a strong breeze go past them and then heeard the rustling of bags.They looked down and saw Mercy digging through the bags."Hey!What do you think your doing?" Uo asked."Sigh...Let me handle this." Angel said as she got up and grabbed something outta her bag."Mercy...!Look at the pretty nail polish!" Angel said, waving said polish infront of her younger sister.

"MINE!" Mercy yelled as she grabbed the small bottle away from her sister."You...seem pretty well practiced..." Uo said."This happens every year with three other siblings besides her." Angel said."I see..." Hana said as she watched Mercy stare at the bottle."Well we should get going..." Uo said to Hana."Yes" Hana answered."So should we." Tohru said.The five girls stood up, said goodbye and left.

"Oh.I just remembered something." Angel said as they walked home."Whats that, Angel-chan?" Tohru asked."This is my first Christmas with Momiji." Angel said, grinning."Thats so sweet." Tohru said, giving her friend a quick hug."I can't wait to get back inside." Mercy said."Me too." Angel said.

"Y'know, I just remembered something mom told me when I went one my first date." Angel said."What is it?" Tohru asked."When I got back from my first date, my mom came into my room asked me how it went and all that but, then she said something very strange..." Angel trailed off.Tohru was about to ask what, when she saw clothes laying on the ground 20 feet infront of them.

The girls walked up to the pile of clothes."You think its one of the Sohma's?" Angel asked."Well who else would be running around naked in the snow?" Mercy asked sarcasticly."A freak." Angel answered."Maybe if we look at the clothes, we could figure out who it is." Tohru said.Angel was about to bend down and look through them when."Hallo, Schätzchen!"

Angel turned around and saw her beloved and Haru coming towards her."Hey, Honey-Bunny.Hey Haru-Sweetie." Angel said."What are you doing?" Haru asked, when he saw the pile of clothes."Huh?Oh.We think we might have found one of your cousiiiiiiiiiinsssss...!" Angel screamed the last part, scaring the hell outta Haru, Momiji, Mercy and Tohru.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Angel screamed again as she felt the cold thing that slithered into her clothes, move farther up her pants."Angel, whats wrong!" Momiji asked.He didn't have to wait long for his answer.A small, white/silver snake head poked itself out of the top of Angel's pants.

It was, of course, Ayame."Hello Angel.You have very warm legs, you know that?I could stay in here all day." Ayame said.Angel felt the snakes body curl itself around her leg.Those weird flames showed up behind Momiji again."Ayameeeeee!" Momiji said.Ayame turned his head."Ah.Hello Momiji, Haru." Ayame said.

"GET OUTTA MY GIRLFRIENDS PANTS!" Momiji yelled."Yes sir." Ayame said, slightly scared of his younger cousin.Ayame's head vanished."YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!" Angel screamed again.The same white/silver snake head poked itself out of the top of Angel's shirt."Hows this?" Ayame asked.Angel gritted her teeth, trying not to screech as she felt the snake curl around her chest."GET OUT OF HER SHIRT!" Momiji yelled again.Haru was hold Momiji back from ripping Angel shirt off to get Ayame out of it.

"Will you make up your mind?" Ayame asked"Uh...Sister...Your..." Mercy said."I know, Kitten.Ayame, I suggest you get outta my clothes as fast as you can." Angel said.Momiji stopped trying to get Ayame, Haru let go of Momiji and Ayame looked up at Angel.She was blushing."Aaaaahh!" Ayame yelled as he practically flew out of her clothes.

POOF!

Angel changed.Angel smacked her hand on her forehead and grumbled something about a stupid snake.She sighed and bent over and picked her clothes up.Angel turned to Ayame, who was in Mercy's coat pocket, and gave him a feral grin."Ayame, if you ever do that again, I'll skin you alive...And get outta my sisters coat." Angel said to the snake.

Ayame moved to get outta Mercy's pocket."And don't go in Tohru's clothes either, snake perv..." Angel added. 'I just can't win with this girl...' Ayame thought as ge reluctantly slithered into Haru's coat.

FLASHFORWARD

It was the night before Christmas eve, Angel's Sweet Sixteen was wonderful and now Tohru and Mercy were making Christmas cookies while Angel and Kagura were putting up Christmas decorations and Yuki was reading a new book in the living room with Shigure who was watching random Christmas specials and Haru who was watching the specials and Yuki..

Well, Kagura had gotten her hands on some mistletoe and was currently chasing a fearing-for-his-life Kyo around the house.Angel glanced up through half open eyes as Kyo ran by screaming with Kagura 5 feet behind him.

"26..." Angel said to herself.She had been keeping count of how many time they could run past that room.Angel turned around and went back to her decorating."Sis, you want some hot chocolate and some sample cookies?" Mercy asked as she walked in with a cup of said beverage and small plate of 3 cookies.

"Hmm?Oh sure.Thanks Kitten!" Angel said smiling at her sister.She took the plate and cup out of her little sisters hands and bent down to kiss her on the cheek."Your welcome, Sis." Mercy said with the most adorable smile that she used to have all the time, but now only had it at Christmas or Birthdays or just when she was really happy.

Mercy turned to walk out of the room."Kitten, remember, if you start to hurt, sit down for a while. You can still help Tohru while sitting down." Angel said.Mercy nodded."Yeah.I know.Don't worry." Mercy said and walked outta the room.Angel sipped her drink and ate a cookie."Mmm.." She said as she ate the cookie.

"Angel!" A voice said behind her.She turned around, with half a cookie in her mouth, and saw Momiji in the doorway.She smiled, which looked a little odd because of the cookie.She walked over to him.He took the cookie out of her mouth and bit into it himself."Good cookie." He commented with his mouth slightly full."Yeah.Mercy made them."

Momiji listened to Angel talk for a few moments while he nibbled on the cookie.The young lovers watched with half closed eyes as Kyo and Kagura ran by yet again."27..." Angel said.Momiji swallowed the last bite of the cookie and then wrapped his arms around Angel's waist."Schätzchen, look up." He said to her.Angel looked up and saw that above the two of them was mistletoe.

"Momiji, when did that get there?" Angel asked."When you went into the kitchen to see howMercy was doing on the baking." He explained.Angel smiled and brought her face down, closer to his.Momiji gently pressed his lips against Angel's.At that moment, everything else faded.Angel wasn't sure if it was his kiss or that the lights flickered from so many electric things being on at once.She figured it was his kiss.

Angel and Momiji were kissing, Tohru and Mercy were making yummy smelling cookies, Kyo was running in fear of Kagura, Shigure was having lecherous thoughts about the girls on TV in the slightly skimpy elf outfits, Haru was staring at Yuki and glancing at the TV, Yuki was trying to ignore his cousins and the pond of drool that was forming around the them and all was right with the world...Or so Angel thought.

Angle heard a car pull up, but thought nothing of it.She was with Momiji and that meant nothing could draw her attention away from him.As it turned out, it was Hatori who had pulled up.Hatori walked in through a hole left by Kyo and Kagura.Kagura was now in the yard, straddling Kyo trying to kiss him.

He walked into the living room.His expression was more depressed looking than usual.Haru, Yuki and Shigure turned their heads to look at him."...I have unpleasent news..." Hatori said.At once, all expessions turned serious.

To Angel
Angel had just broken hers and Momiji's makeout session so she could breathe.She and Momiji smiled and embraced for a few moments, before Hatori and Shigure walked into the room.

"Angel, you know about the head of the Sohma family, correct?" Hatori asked.Angel nodded."Yessir." She said."You haven't met Akito yet..." Shigure added.There was silence for several minutes..

"Akito...Has decided she wants to meet you...Tommorow night..." Hatori said rather grimmly.Angel felt Momiji cringe slightly.She looked at him and he had a really worried look on his face.Angel remember something she had heard her parents talking about one night when she was 7.She remembered her dad had been on a business trip to Japan.She remembered her dad calling the head of the family a 'Murderous, scheaming, bitch.'

As she thought about that, she wondered how it was that everytime things seemed to be getting better, it all got shattered in one small, simple instant.Angel stood there, millions of thoughts rushing through her head, but the most loud thought in her head was telling her that something bad was about to happen.Her happy time...was over...

Alright then!Thats the end on part one of the finally.Review if you part 2 up quickly.After the end on Strawberry Girl I will be putting up the sequel, Angel eyes.I hope you enjoyed this chap.Please review.
