Problematic kitten

Chapter 33

Crap. Usagi gulp and try to disappear in the couch. "You did what?!" Yamada yell. She flinch and start to pick her palm. "I couldn't think any other way. It was good opportunity. He was too fast." She mumble under her breath.

"And what if he has stabbed your heart or kill you in instant, what then?!" Yamada continue to yell and Usagi flinch again. She has tears in her eyes. "I... I couldn't just... run." She whisper. "Wha-" "Enough Zashi." Aizawa's voice cut his next burst off. She didn't dare to move, waiting for his outburst or even a hit or something. "She did what every hero would have, risked her life to save another." She whip her head up in shock and stare at him. Yamada glance at him too and sigh. "You are right." He mumble and turn to look shocked girl. "I'm sorry Usagi, I shouldn't have yelled at you."

Usagi turn to look at Yamada in deeper shock. She look between her new guardians not sure what is going on. "You have great kid and she will grow to be even greater hero someday." Ingenium say to the men, pat their shoulders and go away, sensing that it is time to leave them. "Y-You're... not... mad at... me?" She ask unsure. "We are very angry but can't blame you for doing right thing." Aizawa answer and crouch front of her. "You saved Ingenium's life and stopped a bad guy. Your plan was stupid but you all survived and that is only thing that matters."

Usagi blink in shock couple times and glance at Yamada who nod as agreement. "B-but I missed dinner." "It is waiting." "I... I broke your phone." "We can always buy new one." "Bu-" "Only thing that matters is that you are alive. Come on. You must be hungry and you need a bath." Aizawa cut her off and stand up. She nibble her lower lip, feeling weird that no one is punishing her. She slowly nod and stand up too. Her legs still feel wobbly and she grab Aizawa's sleeve for support.

"Kid?" "My legs... are little... wobbly." Usagi admit ashamed and let go. "Can you walk? Yamada can always carry you. I need to drive." Aizawa ask calmly. She look up and glance at men again. Both look at her worried. She nibble her lower lip again, no one has carried her over 6 years. She hesitantly raise her hands toward Yamada. "Really?" She whisper with unsure smile. His eyes light up and wide smile spread to his lips. "Anything for my kid." He promise and snatch her in his arms. She yelp a little from surprise and wrap her arms around his neck. He chuckle. She see soft smile on Aizawa's lips and decide to snuggle her head against Yamada's shoulder. 

Usagi didn't realize she has fallen asleep until Yamada step out of car. She yawn, notice that she is bridal style in his arms and snuggle closer to him. She could feel happiness from him and little smile come to her lips. She hasn't felt this safe in a very long time. She hear how men chuckle something but didn't care, too comfortable on her spot to react. She feel how Aizawa took her shoes off and Yamada carry her upstairs. 

"Come on girl. You need to wake up. You need a bath." He allure her gently. She grunt in disagreement but crack an eye open anyway. "Do I have to?" He chuckle. "Yes sweetie. You have to. Come on. Bath, dinner and movie night? Some of your clothes arrived earlier today." She yawn and rub her eyes. "Clothes?" She mumble confuse. "We ordered you some when you refused to go to mall, remember?" She yawn again and he lower her down. "Oh, right." She mumble, turn toward her bedroom door and grab the door handle and stop again. 

"Usagi?" Yamada ask softly with hint of worry in his voice. She turn to look at him again. "Neither of you hate me?" She ask with shaking voice. "Oh sweetie, of course not. We couldn't ever hate you." "Even when I cause so much problem?" "Never." "Even when I... worry? you so often?" She ask unsure if she used right word. He crouch down on her eye level. "We won't ever hate you, even when you make us worry or mad or anything. We care about you, so much." She stare in his eyes, trying to find a sign of lie but didn't find anything. "Okay... Dinner and... movie?" She ask with little hopeful smile. He grin as answer and nod. "I will be quick." For her surprise he peck her forehead while he stand up. "No need to hurry, you need your bath. You deserve it." He assure and go downstairs.

Usagi didn't dare to draw a bath, she scared that she will fall asleep in warm water so she took a shower. It took some time to get all the dirt from her, especially from her hair but she eventually managed to do that. She think about her situation while showering and feel warmth inside her. Aizawa and Yamada feel more like fathers than her own father ever did. She try different names she could use to call them until she find proper one for each of them. She didn't know when she will use them but at least she has something she can call them inside her head.

Usagi decide to put on soft purple top and shorts as well as fluffy black socks. She quickly braid her hair and head downstairs. Delicious smell meet her on stairs and smile come to her lips. She soundlessly sneak toward kitchen when Aizawa's voice  stop her. "She really is problem child. Tsukauchi's call almost gave me a heart attack." Her eyes widen and she didn't dare to move. "It surely scared me as well but we should be grateful that she didn't try to run this time." Yamada answer.

Usagi start to tremble and tears come to her eyes. "Honestly Zashi, how that kid managed to get a hold of me so fast." "She is lovable girl, Sho. You know her better than me and I know that I would already do anything for her." First tear slip to her cheek. "She is stubborn if not nothing else. I can easily imagine how she refused to run today." "Don't remind me." Yamada laugh humorlessly. She wipe her wet cheeks. "She is our kid, I don't know what I would do if-" "Don't even think about it." Yamada cut Aizawa before he manage to finish the sentence.

Tears stream down Usagi's cheeks. She never meant to hurt them that much. She isn't even 100% sure why they react like that but images of her mother come to her and part of her start to believe that they could actually care about her. 

Usagi step in kitchen and before neither of them managed to react, she jump to hug Aizawa who is sitting on bar stool, closer to her. "I'm sorry." She sob against his chest. "Wha-" "I didn't meant to worry you like that." She start to babble. "I never wanted to worry you guys like that. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry." She cry and squeeze him harder. Warm arms wrap around her and raise her in his lap.
