A Random Act of Courage
So here's the deal. I've had this story stuck in my head for a while and this is like my first ever crossover. If you've never finished Fruit's Basket then don't read this because this takes place at the end of the series. On another note I'm not abandoning my other stories although I am open for ideas on Excluded. Also I wanna point out that their will...well it's a strong possibility that this might have a sequel. It really depends on how I feel. And for those of you who have caught a glimpse of A Random Act of Kindness before I deleted it, well you're the luck devils who might already know what the sequel is. With that note on with the story. And don't get impatient with me when I don't update Demon Girls for a while. I'm trying to make a really long chapter for you faithful readers.
Summary: Renji Sakari is dead. Her life was lost after she jumped off a cliff to try and save Tohru. The news of her death left all the Zodiac members in a stage of dispair. But who is this girl that the Sohma's seem to care about? And when Akito decides to move the family to Karakuta Town, what new adventures await the now free members? And what are these supposed soul reapers? Who is Rini Sohma? And why does she remind them of someone they all just want to forget?

The act of doing something courageous on a spur of the moment in which the one administering the act takes nothing in return for their actions. -Jinx
Prologue
The sky was a dark grey, the clouds pressing down on the Earth. The air was damp from the rain that had just past, leaving it hot and humming like a content cat. The animals that had taken shelter from the once fierce storm crawled out, scenting the air. It relatively calm, a peace that falls after a storm, but it was easily broken by an ear splitting scream. A scream that seemed to linger in the air and strike the very core of one's soul.
It was moments later that a pair came upon the scene of the distress, two boys, teens, one with bright orange hair that was windswept and the other blonde, his normally curly hair pressed against his face from running in the rain. The orange hair boy let out a strangled sobbed and fell to his knees at the two figures lying motionless in the mud. Both girls, a brunette and a raven hair, where calm in their sleep, almost as if they were sleeping.
"T-tohru," the orange head whispered, reaching out to brush his fingers through the girl's soft brown hair. The blonde teen moaned his eyes froze wide in shock and he almost jumped at a new voice.
"Don't touch her." The orange haired boy froze, his hand just brushing the girls head when the icy voice had interrupted him. He hadn't even noticed the grey haired teen. "Don't touch her. I think she hit her head pretty hard." The blonde let out another moan when the red head pulled back his hand to find blood. The teen then continued, motioning with his had to the raven haired girl. "I…I think she fell on some rocks and—" He broke off and placed his hands over his eyes.
"N-no," the blonde whimpered, staggering past the brunette and leaning over the raven. He leaned over her and for a long while was completely silent, frozen in fear.
"Wait! Wait! Wait! No…no," the red head moaned, leaning down over the brunette. "This wasn't supposed to happen. Tohru wait—this wasn't supposed to happen! Tohru!" Tears spill past the boys crimson colored eyes, much like the blood coloring the girl's hair. And then, almost as if the tears where calling to her, the girl pried open her eyes a bit and raised her hand to the teens face. "Tohru? ...Tohru…"
"…It's okay…I'm okay. Okay…Don't worry…" she spoke up, her voice soft and light like it could be swept up by the wind. The teen tears stopped at seeing the girl cry for him and he grabbed her hand softly, the grey haired boy watching the seen from the corner of his lavender eyes.
"…Okay…It's okay…I understand. It's okay…Please, don't speak." Then he leaned over and kissed the semi-conscious girl.
"No!" The shout jarred both boys to the attention of the third party. He was still leaning over the raven, but his hand was now gripping at her wrist, and he was shaking his head as if trying to dispel a horrible thought. "No. No! NO!" The teens shared a quick looked before moving to the raven's side. Her head was twisted in the direction of the brunette and there was a soft smile on her face, despite the blood that was pooling around her and soaking into the mud. An odd feeling of complete dread settled over the trio as the blonde continued to shake his head. The grey haired teen kneeled down next to the girl's head and reached out to check for a pulse. "Don't Touch Her!" the blonde snapped, his grip tightening on her wrist. A sob racked his body and he cradled her hand to his chest. The sound of sirens broke through the air and yet the trio never moved from their frozen position over the raven's body.
"Oh, god," they hear someone moan and they turned to see a group of official looking field doctors. The brunette had already been put on a stretched and was being hoisted into the ambulance when a thin female approached the three.
"No! Don't touch her," the blonde protested, pulling the raven onto his lap, staining his clothes with her blood.
"I need to check her condition so we can help," the woman spoke in a soft voice but the blonde just shook his head.
"There is no helping. She'd already gone," he whispered and that statement was enough to break even the toughest of men.
