I'm glad you liked the last chapter JessicaJaymeBell and I'll consider making it into a story, if I do then I'd be glad to have you help. Alright, here's another story idea for all those who both read and write on here that you may use. For those of you who aren't familiar with the characters (besides Jack) or the curse I'm talking about then you should watch Fruits Basket.
By the way here's a little tidbit on how Jack knows this family, he was there when the curse was first casted and has helped the family in whatever way he could which resulted in the family eventually being able to see him.
Jack quietly landed on the roof of the one of the houses inside the family compound and made sure no one was around that could see him before he flew to the house he knew well. As he flew, he noted a young brown haired girl from outside the compound visiting with a member of the family.
"It's been a while since you dared to show up around here Jack. What news do you bring from the outside world?" A familiar voice sneered lightly from inside the house he had aimed for.
"Not much to report and I do have a good reason for not showing up for the first snow this winter." Jack retorted as he stepped inside the house and settled in front of the one who spoke first. "The Boogeyman threatened to rid this world of its Guardians so MiM called on me to help them.
It was a bit rocky there for a while, we had lost Sandy and Easter was ruined but we managed to beat him in the end and Sandy is back, thanks to some of the children in my hometown. Oh and I am now a Guardian, the Guardian of Fun. What about things here, anything I need to know about while I was gone Akito?"
The man in front of Jack sneered once more as he spoke, "There is an outsider living with Shigure, Yuki and Kyo now. A girl who they think could be the one to break this curse on our family, her name is Tohru."
"And you have allowed her to live with them, I'm shocked Akito." Jack mused as he stared, unblinking at the other.
Akito shook his head as he glanced up at Jack, "You know I have always counted on you giving me your honest opinion on certain things. Do you think you could…?" He left the question unspoken though Jack knew what he was asking.
"You know I will, just give me a few days to get to know this Tohru and I'll let you know what I think of her." Jack answered as he stood up to leave, making sure to bow before he did. Akito simply nodded as he watched Jack leave.
Jack perched on a tree branch close to Shigure's house as he watched the brown haired girl from earlier. A blast of cold wind alerted the three males in the house of his presence and Yuki stepped out onto the porch.
"Nice to know you haven't forgotten us Jack, why don't you come inside." He called.
He let out a chuckle as he jumped out of the tree, startling Tohru as he fell. "Thank you Yuki, I think I will." Jack joked as he floated over on the wind. "Who's you lovely house guest?" He winked at Yuki as he took one of Tohru's hands in his a lightly kissed it.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing Jack, hands off Tohru!" A voice shouted in slight anger as Kyo came stomping toward them.
"It's good to see you too Kyo." Jack teased as he released, the now blushing, Tohru's hand. "And it's a pleasure to meet you Miss Tohru."
"Alright enough Jack, you're making Miss Honda nervous." Yuki stated.
"Did I hear you say Jack?" Shigure exclaimed as he made his presence known from the other end of the house.
Jack flew up out of sight just as Shigure came into view then silently landed right behind him, a crooked grin on his face. He formed a snowball in his hand and smashed it onto the other's head before bursting into laughter at Shigure's shriek at the sudden cold.
"How do my three favorite Sohmas live under one roof without killing each other…and with a female outsider no less? I take it she knows about it since A…um he knows about her and is willing to let her stay." Jack commented, though he knew better then to mention Akito's name in Yuki's presence.
All three Sohmas nodded in answer before Shigure caught Jack off guard by smashing a snowball in the Spirit of Winter's face. Jack only laughed as he brushed the snow off his face. "So tell me what you've been up to since we haven't seen you in a while." Shigure requested as he led Jack inside.
"Well…you're now looking at the newest Guardian. MiM called me to help the others in their fight against Pitch and, after we beat him, I took the Guardian's oath. I also have seven new believers, they all live in my home town." Jack proudly told them.
"You, a Guardian?" Kyo huffed in disbelief Jack having told those of the Sohma family who were cursed about his world.
"Yes, I'm a Guardian, the Guardian of Fun." Jack declared as he poked Kyo with his staff.
"He's telling the truth Kyo. Kisa told me she saw him while he was with the others, collecting teeth." Shigure remarked.
Jack smirked at Kyo then smiled fondly as he recalled how he was the one to get Kisa's lost tooth, having left behind an ice sculpture of a tiger so she would know he had been there. "How is Kisa? Has she talked again yet?"
At the other's downcast faces he knew she hasn't. "I'll have to go pay her a visit, see if I can cheer her up, maybe even get her and Hiro to have a little fun before I have to leave to do my duty as not only Spirit of Winter but Guardian of Fun."
