The Return Of Tenshi

AN: I am so sorry for the long overdue wait. It's just that everything's always happening and making me push back the updates. Recently I've been trying to keep up with the updates of the fanfics I missed for the past month and I've been stuck on what else to do.

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

Ch25

As Usagi screamed, panted heavily and thrashed about in her sleep, nobody knew what to do.

Shingo was shaking in fear of being left alone as he pleaded Luna and Artemis with his eyes to do something.

The three sailor scouts from a different galaxy were trying to come up with plans with the two humanoid cats.

Akito had glued himself to the corner of the room and refused to look up as he listened to his angel's pain.

Hatori tried everything in his medical experience, but nothing worked.

Ayame tried to look like his confident self to lift the spirits back up, but there was no enthusiasm in his voice.

Shigure observed with a stoic look on his face, for once his mind completely blank of schemes he had often created.

Kisa was crying hysterically as Hiro patted Kisa on the shoulder and hugged her gently.

Kagura was also crying while squeezing the life out of Kyo, who for once just doesn't care anymore.

Yuki placed comforting hands on Tohru's shoulders, since he couldn't hug her, while memories of her mother on her deathbed brought the brunette into tears.

Rin was leaning into Hatsuharu's embrace silently with a pained look on her face.

Ritsu was crying while apologizing as if it was his fault for Usagi's illness.

Kureno stared out the windows as he watched the birds fly around, envying how they don't have a care in the world.

All in all, everyone felt like a complete mess. The screaming had eventually died off with Usagi's body lying motionless with only her chest moving up and down.

Hatori turned to his cousins and they could practically see the exhaustion on his face. He looked like he had aged twenty years in the last few hours. "Why don't you all head on home and rest?" he told them.

"Haa-san, what about you?" Shigure asked, worried about his friend.

Hatori rubbed his eyes tiredly. "I'll stay and keep watch, just in case she gets worse," he said.

Ayame shook his head. "No, if Tori-sanm stays, then I'll stay too!" he said, his voice no longer filled with the confidence he had always shown.

"Ayame, now is not the time to argue," Hatori said with a sigh.

"I agree," Seiya said, "Why don't you all go and let us work this out?"

"But she's our cousin!" Momiji argued, "We have to do something to help her!"

"And do you know what you can do for her?" Yaten asked. Momiji stayed silent.

"But what can you guys do that Haa-san can't?" Shigure asked.

Shingo was just too tired to care anymore. He lay down beside his sister. "I wish…I wish Mamoru-san and the others were still alive," he whispered, "They would know what to do."

"When I was erasing her memories," Hatori said, getting everyone's attention, "I saw several people in her mind. They…they told me that if I erase her memories that I would be making a grave mistake." He closed his eyes in surrender as he rubbed his blinded left eye. "But I did it anyway because Akito had ordered it."

"Do you think we should ask Galaxia for advice?" Seiya asked his brothers, "Maybe she knows how to reverse this whole mess."

"Speaking of which…where's ChibiChibi?" Yaten asked, looking from left to right. He grumbled when there was no sign of the redheaded toddler. "Just perfect…Usagi's unconscious and dying and the one person we have to contact Galaxia is missing. What else could go wrong?" He swiped his hand through the silver bangs above his eyes.

Kyo grabbed Tohru's hand and shrugged Kagura off of him. "We'll go look for the kid. She can't be too far off."

Tohru's face flushed red as she glanced at their intertwined hands. "But…but…" she stuttered.

Yuki placed a hand gently on her shoulder. "There's really not much we can do here," he told her, "And perhaps this search will help us clear our minds a bit."

Momiji wiped his teary eyes on the long sleeves of his shirt. "I'll help too!" he said, smiling tearfully. One by one the young ones of the group left to look for the toddler, leaving the adults behind.

Kyo and Yuki were walking in a slow pace as they ignored Momiji, who ran ahead while dragging Tohru along. As they were walking through the corridors beside the large gardens Usagi had frequented often as a child, something red caught the corner of the two boy's eyes. They turned to see something duck behind the bushes.

"Honda-san, Momiji, wait," Yuki called out to them.

Kyo opened the sliding doors and walked cautiously into the garden to the bush. Peeking over the top leaves, he spotted the tiny redhead, who was facing backwards, that would always trail behind Usagi. Just as he was about to pick the child up in an arms distance, mindful of his curse, he noticed something glowing in her hands.

"OI, KYO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Momiji shouted, causing the orange haired teen to jump and the red haired toddler to turn her head and stare blankly at the Sohmas.

ChibiChibi blinked her bright blue eyes as she watched Kyo's shoulders and fists shake. And then out of nowhere, Kyo turned around and hit Momiji on the head really hard, causing her to flinch as if she could feel the pain the small blonde felt. She then watched as Momiji began to cry as he clung onto Tohru's arm. ChibiChibi walked over to Kyo and pulled gently on the leggings of his pants; when their eyes connected, the small toddler held her arms out to him.

Kyo stared at the arms in confusion. Why is she holding her hands out like that?"

"She wants you to carry her, baka neko," Yuki said, rolling his eyes like it was obvious.

"Urusai!" Kyo shouted at him, "I knew that!" He gave the toddler a cautious look over before gently placing his hands under her armpits and lifting her up, making sure he placed her at a distance, so that he wouldn't transform.

Seiya kept at Usagi's side and continually held her hand. He turned to his brothers and was about to ask them what they should do when the door slammed open with Kyo stomping in with a pissed off look on his face and a giggling child in his outstretched hands. Not being able to suppress it, a slight smile came on Seiya's face as he asked, "Why do you look so upset, Kyo-san?"

"You try carrying this hyperactive child while making sure she doesn't bump into you as she swings about," Kyo muttered, almost throwing the child into Taiki's arms.

"That would have been funny, seeing an orange cat dragging a toddler on his back," Seiya said, chuckling.

Akito heard what the singer had said. Normally he would've been upset and start ranting at how careless those creatures were to have outsiders know about the Sohma curse, but this time, he just kept quiet and kept his gaze on the resting girl.

Taiki stared down at the toddler and noticed that all knowing look in those blue eyes. "What are you up to, ChibiChibi?" he muttered to himself.

"Galaxia," the redhead answered. The four Sohmas who lived in a separate house stared at ChibiChibi in shock at hearing her say something other than her name.

Yaten had a bored look on his face as he sat cross-legged while resting his chin on the palm of his hand. "So you told her what happened?" he asked in an exhausted tone.

With one nod of her head, ChibiChibi replied, "Chibi."

"So is she coming?" Taiki asked.

With a shake of her head, ChibiChibi replied, "Chibi."

"Great, now what are we going to do?" Yaten complained.

The others stared in complete shock for a second before Kyou shouted, "How the hell did you understand what she's saying?"

"Well, it's not that hard to translate a nod or a shake of the head," Yaten said, in a similar tone that sounded like he was insulting Kyou.

Kyou was about to argue with the silver haired singer when ChibiChibi held out her hands and something appeared to be glowing. "There's that glow again," he muttered as Momiji walked closer to see what was going on.

Shingo lifted his head up to see something glowing. "What's that?" he asked the three male singers.

Yaten lifted his head up and stared suspiciously at the child. "What are you planning, you little starseed?"

Taiki placed the child down and with concerned eyes, everybody watched as three-year-old knelt down beside Usagi's body. Nobody knew what was going on, but their eyes had grown wide with shock when they saw Usagi's body glowing as well. ChibiChibi watched carefully as a silver jewel emerged from the body and levitated in the air above Usagi's chest.

"What…what is that?" Akito asked, staring in shock at the jewel that had just come out of her body. He got up to his staggering feet and took a step forward. "What is that child doing?" he shouted.

Shingo stared in awe at the crystal he had heard so much about but had never seen. Because he was so up close, he was the only one who had noticed slight cracks in the jewel. "Is that it, Luna?" he asked.

The two humanoid cats shook with anxiety. Luna nodded her head. "Not only that," Artemis added, "But it's also her starseed."
