The Return Of Tenshi

Ch15

The next day in school was plagued with the memories of what had occurred less than twelve hours ago. Usagi was at home with Hatori excusing her from school, just in case, she might be upset once more during the day. Several people had gone up to apologize to the Sohmas for continuing the rumors while Usagi's fans would say that they didn't believe the rumors and trusted in Usagi. Yuki's fans were glad to see that their plan of ridding Usagi had worked, but at the price of Yuki being displeased with them.

Then sometime around eleven, all the students were called to the assembly/gym where the principal was standing on the stage. When everyone was seated, the principal began talking about how he was quite disappointed in the student body's behavior the other day and called for the Three Lights to explain what the truth was. The singers stood up and walked on the stage, each with an unhappy look on their faces.

"I have nothing to say…except for the fact that you're all annoying busybodies who need to learn how to mind your own business!" Yaten shouted, causing everyone to jump.

"Yaten, calm down," Taiki said, waving his hands gently in a neutral manner, "We're not here to yell at them. We just want to clear things up with them."

"Starting with the fact that ChibiChibi is not odango's daughter," Seiya said, "They're actually sisters. After their parents passed away, ChibiChibi went to stay with a friend until we come by and bring her back to odango."

"I didn't know Usa-chan had any other siblings other than Shingo," Hatsuharu said. Momiji shrugged his shoulders.

"And that ring is actually from her boyfriend, Mamoru Chiba, it was an engagement ring and a symbol of his love for her," Taiki said, "However…he passed away less than a year ago."

"Also, there's not reason for any of the girls should feel threaten about Tenshi and me," Yuki said, standing up, "Tenshi's full name is Usagi Sohma Tsukino. Her mother is a part of the Sohma family, in other words, Tenshi's our cousin."

"Sagi's more like a sister than a possible lover, any way," Kyo said.

By the silence emitting from the student body, the Sohmas, Tohru and her friends could tell that they were all shocked from the news. Just then the doors slammed open and everybody leaped up in their seats, their heads were turned to the back doors where Shingo and Hiro were standing with nervous looks on their faces.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Kyo shouted, "I thought Hatori said to...HEY! I'm talking to you!" Nobody answered him as one by one, all of the Juunishi and Shingo quickly piled to the front of the stage. "Why are you guys here?" he asked, when they stopped walking.

"Because I told them to come," a cool voice said. Everybody could almost see the smirk that came with the voice. Kyo, Yuki, Hatsuharu, Momiji turned their heads to see Akito standing in the back with a calm face. "You four get on the stage as well." The minute he said that, they all got up and did what he had ordered rather quickly. Akito walked up slowly, as if taunting the Sohmas with his presence. He ignored the girls as they watched him saunter to the stage and their eager whispers of the resemblance of Akito and Yuki. "Would any of you mind explaining to me in clear detail on what had happened to Usa-chan yesterday?" he asked," Tell me why she had become upset and why you didn't do anything to stop it from happening?" he walked up the steps to the top of the stage and studied each and every one of his cousins.

"Hatsuharu, is it true that several girls spread cruel rumors about Usa-chan?" Akito asked. A silent nod of the head was the reply. "Momiji, is it true that they were accusing Usa-chan of doing something dishonorable?" he asked again with the same reply. "Kyo, was it known that the girls who did this might've planned to hurt Usa-chan for a long time?" came another question with the same answer. "And, Yuki, is it true that those girls were fans of you and did this because of her closeness to you?" Akito asked after a passing second. Yuki was silent and didn't make any movement to reply.

Akito turned his back towards his cousins and placed his hands behind him. "I had decided to not bring her back to the main house when I discovered that she had returned…hoping that she would be okay. And now, I had found out that she was hurt because of your carelessness to look after her!" He turned his head and narrowed his eyes, adding, "By failing to protect her, you had lost the privilege of seeing her so freely. From this day forward, Usa-chan will be living in the main house, where she belongs."

Shingo's eyes widened from the news. "But onee-chan doesn't want to leave Gure-nii's home," he said, "And since I'm not part of the inner circle, I can't live in the main house. She's all I have left, you can't separate us!" Shingo glanced at his other cousins for support, but all he could see in their eyes were fear if they should disobey Akito's orders. "I know onee-chan hasn't been there exactly for you for the past six years, but it wasn't her fault. Kaa-san and tou-san were worried about onee-chan because she got hurt at the main house before. You know she would've came back if she could."

"We know, Shingo," Hatsuharu said.

"We don't blame Tenshi for anything," Momiji said. He looked like he was about to add something, but instead he closed his eyes and glanced away.

"Onee-chan always believed in doing what's right for you guys when she was here," Shingo whispered, "So why are you allowing him to do something that'll make her sad."

Seiya walked over to Shingo and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Odango had a hard life, no matter what happened, she always ends the day with a smile. However…" Seiya glared at Akito with a strong intensity, making the Sohmas worry for the singer's safety. "…if what you're planning to do will make odango cry again, then I'm afraid I can't allow you to do this."

"This has nothing to do with you outsiders," Akito sneered. He walked to Seirya and smirked. "I can do whatever I wish. If I do this, then I can keep Tenshi safe."

Taiki walked over to his brother's side. "Is this for Usagi's sake or for yours?" he asked.

Yuki watched as the four young males were challenging the head. "How can they do this and not be afraid of Akito? Even Hatori and Kureno do what he says, but these guys…" he said silently. He clenched his hands into tight fists. "I don't want Akito to do something that'll make Tenshi sad. Why…why don't the words I want to say ever come out?" He closed his eyes tightly, forcing a tear to trail down his cheek. "If I don't do something, he might take Tenshi away from us. He might hurt her again. No…"

Akito glared at the Three Lights and Shingo, who were still refusing to back down. "You have a lot of nerve…"

"NO!" a loud voice interrupted him.

Akito's black eyes narrowed and went straight to Yuki. All the Junnishi were staring at Yuki with wide disbelief eyes. "What did you say?" Akito asked angrily.

Yuki felt his heart rate quicken, but he stood his ground. "No," he repeated, causing his cousins to gasp in shock. For once, he won't let Akito do what he wishes, especially if it means that Tenshi will be miserable. She had done so much for them, only wanting them to be happy, and asking nothing but their friendship in return. "Gomen, Akito, but you can't take Tenshi away from us, not when we just got her back," he said firmly.

Akito stood up straight and walked over to Yuki with a small crooked smile. "It seems like you forgot who exactly the head of this family is, Yuki," he said, stopping in front of him. And with a simple swing of the hand, he struck Yuki's face, knocking him to ground. Everyone made a slight movement to go help Yuki, but the look on Akito's face warned them to stay where they are. "I guess I have no other choice than to discipline you again, Yuki. So this time, when you go back to that room once again, Tenshi won't be there to help you through the night."

Akito made a movement to hit Yuki again when a familiar voice shouted, "Akito-san, stop!" Everyone's eyes were turned to the back of the room and saw Usagi standing there with a flushed face. Clutching to one of her long pigtails was ChibiChibi. "Akito-san, I beg of you, don't hurt them any more," Usagi said. She kept her gaze on Akito as she slowly walked to the stage.

"Sagi, what are you doing here?" Kyo asked.

"I overheard Akito-san coming to Gure-nii's home and was taking everyone to school," Usagi said, "I didn't want anyone to get hurt because of me again, so I came as well."

A smile broke out on Akito's face as he looked at Usagi like he hasn't seen her for over a hundred years. "Usa-chan, I see you're looking well," he said, completely ignoring everyone else, "Come here so I can have a better look." He held his arms out, almost like he was getting ready to give her a hug.

Usagi slowly climbed up the steps and walked to the awaiting arms of the family head. Ignoring the looks from her cousins, telling her to run away, Usagi walked into his embrace, almost like she had given up on fighting against him. Akito wrapped his arms around Usagi with arm around her waist and the other against her back. He kissed her forehead and lightly played with her long hair, which was down and slightly trailing against the floor. "My dear little Tenshi, you've grown so much," he said. He brushed his cheek against hers and glared over at the Juunishi, more at Yuki. "Why couldn't the others be more like you?" he asked out loud, but to himself more.

Usagi didn't reply. She just stood there with a far off gaze in her eyes. All she could think about is how disappointed her friends must be with her still being depressed about their deaths. Just then she felt Akito pull back slightly and held her face with one hand the other was around her waist, holding her to him, and then a kiss.
