Okay, so all my faithful readers are back again. I'm glad that you guys really like this story. As you all know, I don't own any of the original Fruits Basket characters.
I don't even own Luna Moon, Hikari Rioki the character, Dawn Rioki, Kairi Moon, or Cole Curtis: they belong to Shiara Ramone.
Jade Sohma is pretty much the only character I own. But, the story isn't over yet!
Chapter 5: The Beginning of a New Life
Kyo sat on the roof of Shigure's house like he always did, but this time he was bored out of his mind. Without the hyper Jade around, everything seemed just too boring for him. He didn't even feel like fighting Yuki today! Last night… he was really worried about Jade. "So what if she's gone," he mumbled to himself. "It's not like I care if she never comes back."
He jumped down behind Yuki, who didn't even care to notice. He had really just met his niece, and now… she was gone. It was like she never really existed. He was really worried about her. Why did Hatori and Shigure's friends have to live… in New York?
Tohru sat in the living room, quietly sipping her tea. She couldn't believe that Jade was gone now. They had just become friends, and then… she had to leave.
She looked at Shigure, who was looking at something other than a newspaper for once. "What are you looking at, Shigure?" she asked him.
"My old high school yearbook." He smiled at her. "Wanna see Hikari and Luna?"
"Oh sure! It would be good to see who Jade is living with now."
Shigure showed her his class picture, pointing to two girls. One had long black hair and violet eyes, while the other had medium-length red hair and blue eyes. "The one with black hair is Luna, and the redhead is Hikari," explained Shigure. "Aya and I used to play pranks on them, and then they would get us back, of course."
"Oh, so then you had prank wars, right?"
"I guess you could say that. Hatori was the only serious one of the whole group, and Luna was determined to get him to lighten up, and not act so serious all the time."
"Wow." So then, I guess they must've been really good friends. "So, why did they move to New York?"
"Well… to keep them safe from Akito. Hikari and I were a couple, and Luna and Hatori were together also."
"WHAT?! So then Dawn and Kairi are…"
"Yup, that's right."
"Wow. I don't believe it. Who would've thought?"
"I just hope that they all get along."

Momiji stared at the gift that he had received from Jade. I can't believe she's gone. He looked around for something to do, but nothing seemed the same without Jade around. With a sigh, he decided to take a walk outside.
*************
Ayame sat in his chair. Due to his depression, he couldn't do anything right. He even closed his shop. He didn't think he could recover from this for awhile.
*************
Jade sat down at the small table, watching some cartoons. "Don't you guys have any anime?" she asked Luna.
"Hmm, we used to. I don't know what happened to it, though."
"What's up?" said Hikari.
"The anime."
"Oh… umm… I think we have some… Saint Tail."
"Don't forget Gundam Wing. And the girls have some manga written by CLAMP."
"Did you say CLAMP?!" exclaimed Jade. "I love CLAMP!"
"Yup, I do too," said Hikari. "I am a major fan of them. I love Angelic Layer, all of the CLAMP School series, X/1999, Cardcaptor Sakura, and others that I cannot remember at the moment. I can't help it; I'm obsessed."
"Uh… yeah." Jade looked at Luna. "So, when do I get to meet my cousins?"
"They should be back pretty soon," said Luna. "Still, they're gonna be surprised when they get back from camping with Cole."
"Who's Cole?"
"He's our roommate. I think you'll really like him."
"If you say so." Jade looked at the statue she received from Momiji yesterday. "I miss you, Momiji."
They heard the door open and Jade looked up to see two girls around her age. "Jade," said Hikari, "meet your cousins Dawn and Kairi."
Okay, this chapter was extremely short, I know. But for chapter 6 I'm making a time jump, so there! I hope that you all will continue reading about Jade. This might actually continue for a while. Well, until next time!
