Hello all! Sorry about the delay, but I hurt my knee and was out of commission for a while. Now things are getting better and I can actually move around. Thanks to my beta Chimichurri and Sailormoonforever! For all their help and time.
I do not own sailor moon or its characters
Usagi was happy to see her father and brother getting along as well as they were. After talking and listening to Kakeru tell stories from his childhood, Kenji felt a renewed sense of pride. His son a teacher at the age of 20!
It broke his heart to learn of the death of his fiancé and what would have been his grandchild, but fate had brought them together at long last and nothing was going to change that.
"So you're not upset?" Usagi whispered as she looked to her father.
Kenji shook his head a smile on his face "no, no I'm not upset. I'm happy she found what she was looking for" he whispered "she deserved to be happy" he looked to his son bring his hands to rest behind Kakeru head "I'm grateful that he was able to be such an positive influence in your life son"
Kakeru couldn't help the joy that filled him when his father called him 'son' "Maybe we can all get together one night…give you a chance to know him" Kakeru offered
"I would like that" Kenji nodded "a lot" he turned to his daughter kissing her forehead "so when are these new friends of yours getting here?" he laughed "I tried to keep you away from boys for 17 years and now…look at you I leave you alone for a few months and your swimming in boys"
Usagi laughed at her father's pout "they're really nice papa, you'll like them I promise" with that said a car was heard pulling up into the driveway "that's them, be back"
As she left the room Kenji turned to his son a worried look on his face "I have a weird feeling about this"
Kakeru laughed "trust me they're alright, a little strange but…" he looked around at the group that sat in the family room "so are they" laughter filled the room as the older man nodded
---Usagi smiled brightly as the guys walked up her drive way. After explanations were made and stories were told, Kenji insisted that Usagi call her child hood friends over. That is when Usagi told him about Kunzite and the others. At first the older man frowned at the idea of four-teen age boys hanging around his only child for so long, but knowing there was nothing he could do about the situation he decided to invite them as well.
"Usa" Kunzite smiled "it's nice to see your beautiful smile again" he charmed embracing her in a tight bear hug.
Pulling away the blonde teen shook her head "I have plenty to smile about" she gushed
"Did you and Mamoru get back together?!" Jed asked jumping up and down excitedly. Usagi was surprised that he hadn't tried to sniff her, this was different. "Oh I can see it now, the magic the kiss…the love" clasping his hands in front of him, eyes glazed over with anticipation.
"No" she answered flatly
"Oh" his smile and joyful jumping stopped as a frown came to his face. Usagi placed her hand on his shoulder "awe it's alright Jed" she rubbed his back as he wiped his eyes with his hand "you know I bought the princess and the frog, we could watch it together…you me and Mamoru" she whispered as if talking to a child
Jed opened his eyes hopeful "w-will there be popcorn?" he sniffed
Usagi smiled nodding her head "and soda too and I'll even let you stay up past midnight okay?"
"Can we have those little marshmallows? You know the ones with the colors? I like the one with the-OUCH!" he yelled holding his head
"Will you be a man?" Neph yelled glaring at the blonde headed teen
"That was mean Nephi…" Jed grumbled as she slowly rubbed his head
"Usa, what is it you wanted to show us?" Kunzite asked stepping in front of the two bickering teens
"I have someone I want you to meet!" Her voice was full of excitement, but before she could lead them inside Kenji's concerned voice called out to her "Usa bear is everything alright?"
"Usagi, who is that?" Neph asked as the blonde teen waved for them to fallow her inside.
"And why do you smell funny?!" Jed yelled annoyed with this intruding sent on his supposed 'cookie' "on no…you're seeing someone else aren't you?! How could you do this to Mamoru? H-how could you do this to me?! I thought we would be a family again!"
Usagi stopped in front of her living room staring at Jed strangely "What the hell is wrong with you today Jed?!" Neph asked shaking his head "so what if she's dating what sounds to be a much older man than her! It's none of our business as friends we should just accept it and move on!"
"Guys!" Usagi yelled laughing "Guys I like you to meet my father" Usagi ran to her father's side, who was now standing. "Dad this is Kunzite, Jed, Nephi and Zoi"
Kunzite smiled, Neph looked to the ground in embarrassed, Jed smiled relieved and Zoi well…"WHAT THE HELL?!" the group looked to Zoi who stood against the wall. Much like Minako and Makoto did once they saw the once 'dead' man. "How the hell is he here?!" the blonde teen screamed pointing his shaking finger at the confused older man "I KNEW this would happen! I fucking KNEW it!"
"I knew we shouldn't have watched those horror films" Jed mumbled as Kunzite nodded "I told you he would crack at some point"
"I'm sorry about my friend sir, he's didn't take his medication today-"
"I took all of my required meds Nephrite!" the over paranoid teen hissed "DON'T YOU SEE?!"
"See what you barking lunatic?!" Ami yelled standing up, now this surprised Kenji. Never in Ami's 16 years of life has he seen the normally quiet reserved teen have such an outburst "Why can't you just act like a sane human being for once?!"
"WOMAN NO ONE'S TALKING TO YOU!" Zoi yelled pointing his finger at Ami "PUT THAT NOTE BOOK AWAY!" he screamed as Ami reached for her pen and paper.
She quickly dropped it turning heated blue eyes on the blond teen "Don't you woman me, you over bearing psychotic idiot!" Ami walked in front of Kenji "I am so sickof your crazy paranoid shit! Here we are trying to have a nice after noon and you come here and RUIN IT!" she was breathing heavy as Makoto placed a calming hand on her shoulder
Zoi turned his attention to Kunzite who was looking embarrassed and apologetic "YOU'VE SEEN DAWN OF THE DEAD?!"
Kunzite nodded "Yes, but Zoi…that was just a movie" he assured "We told you last night that whatever we watched wasn't real"
"IT was NOT just a MOVIE!! It was to show case what could happen if the government was to use us for their government experiments!" He turned his eyes to Kenji, who was still standing staring at the boy with concern "HE" he points a shaky finger at Kenji "is the Government!"
"HEY! My dad's not a zombie!" Usagi yelled
Nephrite laughs "Dude It was just a movie; the government isn't using humans as experiments...remember our conversation about Harry Potter?" he asked raising an eye brow
"This is different!" Zoi pushed
Nephrite shook his head "No it's not, just like I said the government isn't hiding a secret world of warlocks and witches…it was just a movie made from a book"
"Just like Dawn of the Dead was just some sick person's idea of a scary movie, not some government show case" Mamoru add "seriously though, Mr. Tsukino is part of the AmericanGovernment, we are Japanese,we live in Japan"
"Honestly Zoi, you have an IQ of 300 why don't you use it?" Kunzite asked placing a hand on his friend "Now tell me the truth have you taken your medication today?"
Zoi pulled his hair in frustration "Why won't any of you LISTEN TO ME?!"
Kenji looked to his daughter "these are the friends you were so excited about me meeting?" he asked unsure
"Zoi's a little…special" Usagi whispered "They're on the football team, Zoi's been tackled quite a bit…"
"I see" Kenji turned his attention to the bickering teens "Zoi" the older man said calmly "the US Government would never-"
Zoi glared at Usagi's father cutting him off "1931 Dr. Cornelius Rhoads, under the auspices of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Investigations, infects human subjects with cancer cells. He later goes on to establish the U.S. Army Biological Warfare facilities in Maryland, Utah, and Panama, and is named to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. While there, he begins a series of radiation exposure experiments on American soldiers and civilian hospital patients."
"Yes but that was just-"
"1994 Senator John D. Rockefeller issues a report revealing that for at least 50 years the Department of Defense has used hundreds of thousands of military personnel in human experiments and for intentional exposure to dangerous substances. Materials included mustard and nerve gas, ionizing radiation, psycho-chemicals, hallucinogens, and drugs used during the Gulf War."
"I understand that Zoi, but that has nothing to do with now or Japan"
"1995 U.S. Government admits that it had offered Japanese war criminals and scientists who had performed human medical experiments salaries and immunity from prosecution in exchange for data on biological warfare research.
1995 Dr. Garth Nicolson, uncovers evidence that the biological agents used during the Gulf War had been manufactured in Houston, TX and Boca Raton, Fl and tested on prisoners in the Texas Department of Corrections. DO I NEED TO GO ON?!"
Kenji just stood silent "well then…"
"But in 1995 the U.S. Government offered Japanese war criminals and scientistsalaries and immunity from prosecution for the data, they didn't do the experiments" Kakeru corrected "Honestly Zoi I would expect much more from you"
Not wishing to continue this pointless fight Usa walked over to the paranoid teen "Zoi…" she said sweetly, the teen turned to her relaxing a bit, he could trust Usagi, yea he could….she wasn't scary no…she's sweet. Jed was right, she does smell of cookies…yes cookies and sunshine, cookies wouldn't hurt you no…no and sunshine was peaceful and nice…"Do you trust me?" the paranoid teen hesitated for a moment before nodding "okay then trust me when I say that if you don't knock off this crazy suspicious crap that I will personally turn you into my human experiment" she growled turning around and walking back to her father. okay so cookies and sunshine had a dark side….
Once taking her seat the other fallowed. Once Zoi took his seat Ami raised her hand smacking the teen upside the head "OUCH!" he hissed
"You're an idiot!" Ami growled
"Okay, okay, that's enough guys" Usagi yelled "gezz lets just have a good day alright? It's a day to celebrate not bicker!" the group nodded mumbling an apology
Jed turned to Kenji and sniffed him "I know that Usa doesn't get her smell from you" he said in a irritated voice. Rei covered her face quickly "Oh god" she mumbled
"Excuse me? Did you just sniff me?" Kenji asked confused he looked to his daughter than back to Jed
"You smell like gun powder and smoke" he plugged his noise "not very appealing May I suggest you eat more sweets?"
"JED!" Rei hissed "Leave the man alone!"
Kenji sniffed his arm "you smell just fine dad, Jed just has an obsession with smells" Usagi assured, while glaring at Jed
"You always knew how to pick unique friends Usa-bear" her father chuckled
"More like they find me" she laughed, after reintroducing the guys to her father, the group sat happily exchanging stories on what had happened in his daughters life after his short visit, months before his 'death'. Soon the door bell rang interrupting their fun. "I've got it" Kenji announced standing up, his right leg-which was in a black brace-helped him as he began to waddle to the door
"Dad!" Usagi hissed "you shouldn't be walking on it yet, go sit I'll get the door"
"No no, I got it, besides didn't the doctor say I needed to start walking?" he raised an eye brow his daughter-who was growling as she turned on her heel. With a final "Fine" she stomped back into the family room taking her seat amongst her friends.
The group went back to their gabbing until "USAGI!" her father roared as he made his way into the living room dragging a large box with the words 'Isabella Oliver collection of maternity clothing, everything a mother could need'
"Ooo-ooo" Usagi looked up at her reddening father "I can explain that" she said pointing to the box
"OH MY GOD!" Jed yelled standing up "Dude you got Usagi pregnant!" Kenji fallowed his finger as it landed on a pale Mamoru
"WHAT?!" Kakeru yelled his face just as red as Kenji's
"YOU!" the upset father yelled "I thought you were gay?!" he looked to Usagi then back to Mamoru
"You're gay?" Kakeru asked now upset and confused
"I-I never got anyone pregnant!" he looked to Usagi with widen eyes "right?" it came out as a whispered but Kenji and the others heard it
"YOU VIOLATED MY LITTLE GIRL!" he yelled throwing the box down as Minako jumped up into Kunzites open arms
"No! No it's not like that I swear!" Usagi yelled stepping in front of Mamoru "daddy-Kakeru, really this isn't what you think"
"This isn't what he thinks?! Usa you're pregnant! Mamoru got you pregnant I mean why else would you need to buy" he looked to the box "designer maternity clothes and in red" his noise scrunched up in dislike "I mean your favorite color isn't red its pink, the only person who is crazy enough to wear red is….oh"
Rei just shook her head as she rubbed her temples "you're an idiot" she stepped next to her blonde friend "Papa ken…" she yelled getting his attention "Usagi isn't pregnant…I am"
The older man stopped and turned to the raven haired girl "You're p-pregnant?" she nodded his eyes going to Usagi "so you're not making me a grandfather?" Usagi shook her head, Kenji let out a sigh of relief "and your still gay?" he asked hopeful
"No?" Mamoru asked quivering in fear, as he looked from Usagi's father to her brother "I mean…if it will save my life then yes"
With a breath Kenji looked to his daughter "did you sleep with him?" the room fell silent
"Yes" Disappointment, sadness and pain flowed from his eyes as Usagi stood tall in front of her father "Dad let me-"
"I need to lie down" his words held no emotion to them; he turned and hobbled his way upstairs refusing any help, Kakeru fallowing close behind.
Usagi sat beside a sad looking Mamoru as Jed sat across from her "that was intense" he said breaking the silence Usagi's eyes hardened as she turned to Kunzite who was shaking his head
"Kunzite" the white haired teen looked up "is Jadeite a fast runner?"
Kunzite thought for a moment "not particularly why?"
"Because I'm gonna kill him!" she hissed lunging at the screaming Jed who ran outside Usagi fallowing close behind
"Hey look this looks like the top Jessica Alba wore when she was pregnant" Rei said holding up the red wrap around. Jed's screams for help being ignored as Rei and the rest of the girls happily dig though the massive box of clothes
"Do you think she'll catch him?" Nephrite asked as the three teens watched the Usagi tackle the sun kissed blonde teen "Oh…never mind"
"Man that looks like it hurt" Mamoru mumbled
"Shit with a tackle like that we could use her on the team" Kunzite commented as he watched Usagi deliver blow after blow.
"I'm gonna kill you!" Usagi's voice ragged
"Well maybe he might learn to keep his mouth shut for now on" Mamoru laughed
"Help! OUCH! That was my ear!" Jed screamed "Mr. Tsukino I'm sorry it's not like they slept together repeatedly it was only ONE TIME!"
"SHUT UP!" Usagi screamed as she hit him once more
"Or maybe not" the three male teens shook their heads in disappointment
Jed's voice ran though out the setting sun "Cookies aren't supposed to attack people!"
