The Return Of Tenshi

Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket or Sailor Moon.

AN: I am soooo sorry for the long wait. Things had been so hectic for me since I last updated. First I got reports to write for school and then finals. Then came my summer job where I'm now teaching creative writing and Spanish. And last but not least, the biggest problem of all…I GOT WRITER'S BLOCK!!!! Sadly, not just for this chapter, but for all my other stories as well. T-T

But when I started to get some ideas, I had to hurry up and finish watching animes my cousin lent me because I have to quickly return them before she returns back to college and check over all the tests, classworks, and homeworks I assigned to my students.

Ch17

As the two cats ran up the stairs, none of them noticed a pair of red eyes staring in complete shock at the two adults. Teeth clenched tightly as Kyo ran up the stairs and grabbed hold of his cousin's door. Knowing full well, that his rival wasn't sleeping, he pulled the door open, slamming it loudly.

Yuki looked up and stared at Kyo with a displeased look. It wasn't bad enough that his 'little sister' was taken away by the head of the family with a bleak future of imprisonment away from them, but now the stupid cat was interrupting his thoughts. "I would think that you were smart enough to know the difference between my room and yours, baka neko," he said in a bored tone.

"Urusai, kuso nezumi," Kyo said. He stalked into the room and closed the door. "That sneaky son of a…"

"What are you doing here?" Yuki asked, not caring that he interrupted him. He glared at his cousin, not really enthusiastic about his random anger tantrums.

"He did it," Kyo said, leaning against the door then sliding down to the floor. He clapped his hands together and rested his head on them in a tired motion. "I can't believe he actually did it," he said softly.

Yuki froze when he heard the defeated tone in his cousin's voice, not once had he ever heard such a pitiful tone coming from the proud cat, so he wondered just what had happened to make him be like this now. "What are you going on about now, Kyo?" he said, using his name to show how serious he is.

"Akito…had… Sagi…memories," was the broken sentence that Yuki had heard.

"What are you talking about, Kyo? What did Akito do?" Yuki asked.

"He…actually got Hatori to erase Sagi's memories," Kyo said softly.

Yuki froze when he heard what had just conspired. He slowly shook his head from side to side, not wanting to believe what he had just heard. He reached out and grabbed Kyo by the collar of his shirt and said angrily, "What kind of sick joke are you trying to play?"

"You think I'm joking about this? What kind of person do you think I am?" Kyo shouted back angrily. He grabbed Yuki's collar and the two of them glared at each other.

Just then they heard a soft knock on the door as Tohru's concern voice came through the barrier. "Yuki-kun, is everything all right?"

"Shit, we must've woken her up," the two rival cousins thought panicky. Kyo quickly hid into the dark corner of Yuki's room as the rat opened the door and smiled softly at the girl in front of him. "Honda-san, gomen ne if we, I mean, I woke you up," he said.

"I thought I heard Kyo-kun's voice," Tohru said. Both Yuki and Kyo winced inwardly. "Were you two arguing again?"

Yuki's eyes glanced down in a slightly, not knowing what to do; should he tell her what had happened to her new found friend or should he keep that in the dark. "It's nothing for you to worry about, Tohru," Kyo said, walking out of the shadows, "We were just talking about something when we got a disagreement."

"Oh," Tohru said, glancing down, "Then I'll leave you two alone."

Yuki nodded his head and smiled softly at her. "Why don't you go back to sleep, Honda-san? Sorry for waking you up," he said. He watched as Tohru nodded her head and head back into her room. He then sighed and closed the door. "We should be more careful," he said, "What if it was Shingo-kun next time who catches us?"

Kyo nodded his head. "But what do we tell Shingo?" he asked, "Do we just keep it a secret from him and the others?" He dropped himself onto the bed and dragged his hand through his hair. "They're not gonna be happy about this or about Hatori or Akito," he said.

"I know, but still we shouldn't say anything," Yuki said, "You know how some of them get when they're upset. Take Haru for example; he'll just turn black and try to beat Hatori and Akito to death."

"But what about…"

"No," Yuki said, shaking his head, "The last thing we want is for Shingo-kun to get irrational, especially when we're dealing with Akito." Kyo gritted his teeth as he stormed out of Yuki's room and slammed the door to his. "Gomen, Kyo, but I just can't risk any of us to get hurt in the process. Tenshi will be upset, whether or not she remembers us, if we get hurt. If we're going to do something, we have to come up with a plan."

Shingo woke up slowly as he heard Luna and Artemis enter the room. He sat up sleepily on the bed and noticed a look of a mixture of sad and anger emotions. "Luna, Artemis? Did something happen?" he asked, walking over to the cats. Chibi-Chibi remained sleeping on his bed since she clutched to him crying until she fell asleep.

"Shingo-kun," Luna whispered. Her red eyes stared at him, trying to find another way of telling him that his one and only family no longer has any recognition of her baby brother.

"It's onee-chan, isn't it?" Shingo whispered, shocking the two cats, "Akito-san has always been doing things like this so I'm not really surprised that he had Tori-nii erase her memories."

"Shingo-kun," Artemis whispered. His head dropped down as he collapsed onto the floor. "We're so sorry. Forgive us. We can't even protect our princess, what good are we?"

"Don't say that," Shingo said angrily, "Onee-chan wouldn't want you to bring yourself down like this. Didn't something like this happen? Where onee-chan lost her memories? How did you guys bring them back?"

"With the Luna Mindmeld," Luna replied sadly. Then it hit her. "Of course, Usagi-chan lost her memories after the battle with Beryl due to the power of the crystal when she made a wish. Perhaps the mindmeld can help her restore her memories back this time."

"That's a great idea, Luna," Artemis cheered. He nuzzled up against his loved one's neck. "Let's go to her now."

"That's a great plan, but it won't work," Shingo said. The two cats looked at him. "Think about it. After all these years, Akito-san finally has onee-chan in his grasp. There's no way that he'll ever leave her side so it's impossible for you two to get to her without him seeing you."

"He's right," Artemis said.

Luna sighed and shook her head. "We just need a plan." She turned around and jumped onto the bed. Her red eyes stared intently on Chibi-Chibi and couldn't help but remember the time when she first met the young child along with the Starlights. That's it! She turned around and said, "Artemis, go over to the Starlights' home and inform them what happened to Usagi-chan. Perhaps if we come together, we might think of a plan to bring back her memories."

"Will that work?" Shingo asked.

Artemis nodded his head. "It's worth a shot," he said, "I'll meet you tomorrow morning at the high school and we'll talk then." He hurried down the steps and out of the house, hastening over to the house of the three famous singers.

AN: To those who had waited patiently for this chapter to come, all I got to say is thank you so much for being so tolerant for my late updates. As I mentioned at the beginning, I got a bit of writer's block for all my stories, not just this one, so please be more wait just a little more longer for them to come.
