A guy named Hatori Sohma was going to pick me up from the airport and take me to meet Akito Sohma before going to Shigure's. From what she has told me there is two teenage boys living with him and a teenage girl named Tohru Honda and I was going to be sharing the room with Tohru.
I hope these people are nice and not out to get me...I don't think I can deal with anything else that is bad.
The night of my flight she hugged me and apologized a lot for putting me in all of those horrid homes. She also told me if she could she would've adopted me herself. I don't believe her, like I don't believe I'll ever get adopted by anyone.
I land at Tokyo International Airport. I get off the plane and look around the terminal before heading to baggage claim. I see a sign with my American name on it and I cringe, I really cannot wait to change it.
"Oh H'ari I hope she's beautiful, I have a knack for dressing beautiful girls in my clothes" he told him.
I see him rolling his eyes at the silver haired man. "Excuse me, I'm Jade Miller, you must be Hatori Sohma" I said bowing as my case worker told me it was the polite thing to do.
"Yes, and this is Sohma, Ayame" he said slightly bowing back.
"Is that all you brought with you Miss Miller?" he asked.
"Jade, please call me Jade" I told him adjusting my duffel bag. "And yes, that is all I brought with me"
The one he called Ayame went crazy over looking at my eyes. "I have the perfect outfit to bring out your eyes more Jade, you simply must come by my shop" he told her.
Hatori shot him a warning glance before walking away. I ran to keep up with them.
Ayame sat in the back with me as Hatori drove. Ayame told me we were going to the main house to meet Akito.
"Yes, I already know, my social worker back in America told me that, but she didn't tell me you would be with Hatori" I told him looking out the window.
He grew quiet for a moment then started talking again.
'Wow does he ever shut up?' I thought to myself.
He babbled all the way from the airport to the main house. He bounded out of the car and to his section of the house. I got out of the car and looked around. This place is huge!
Hatori looked at me. "Ready?" he asked.
To be honest no I wasn't ready. No, I didn't want to meet the head of the household. I didn't even want to be in Japan but yet here I am. I nod instead. "Yes, I'm ready" I said, my voice shaking a bit.
He walked and I followed. We stopped outside of Aikto's room. "Wait here" he told me going in.
I stood looking around. I was nervous I'm not going to lie. I really don't like meeting a lot of new people, so going to live with a house full of strangers is really bothering me right now.
After what seemed like forever Hatori came out and got me and introduced me to Aikto. When I first saw Aikto I could tell that he wasn't a he, but he was a she, but I think I would keep that to myself.
"Sohma, Aikto...Jade Miller" Hatori said introducing us.
I bowed. "Nice to meet you" I said.
"Stand up girl" she told me.
I did so. She looked me over.
"You're ugly, how on Earth do you think you're pretty?" she questioned me.
"I don't think I'm pretty...I never said I was you ugly hag" I spit back at her.
She reeled from my comment before looking at Hatori and smirking.
"So you figured out my secret huh? Good for you and if you tell anyone I'll have your memories erased" she threatened.
"Like I'm going to tell anyone...it really wasn't my idea to come to Japan and live with a bunch of strangers and go to a strange school now was it?!" I spit at her. "And while we're at it, you need to tell Ayame to shut the hell up, he talks to much"
Hatori stared at me as Aikto came closer to me.
"Yes, he does talk a lot doesn't he?" she asked. "Look it here girl, if you swear at me again I will make sure you live in the woods for as longas it takes you to get adopted by some family is that clear?"
"Crystal" I retorted at her.
"Hatori will take you to Shigure's now and I have given him money for you to buy your school uniform, I'm sure Miss Honda will go with you" she told me.
I bowed to her and turned my back to her walking out of the room. I'm so tired I just wanna cuss her out. I swear when I get tired. I'm sure I'll give someone a run for their money at Shigure's.
As I waited outside a see a child who could be my age or older watching me. The child looked to have brown eyes and blonde hair. I couldn't tell from where I was standing if it was a boy or girl. I would have to ask Hatori about it.
"H'ari! Are you going to Shigure's?" the child asked.
"Yes I am Momiji, am I to assume you want to come along?" he questioned.
Momiji nodded and bounded over to the car. "Hi, I'm Momiji" he said. "What's your name?"
This boy was beautiful. Prettier than the boys in America. "Jade, my name is Jade" I told him holding out my hand.
Momiji took it and shook my hand before climbing in the car. "You forgot to bow" he said laughing.
Damn...I got so mesmerized by looking at him I forgot my manners. I climbed in and sat opposite of him.
Hatori got in and started driving over to Shigure's. I again looked out the window feeling better getting away from that house, it really did creep me out.
"How long are you staying at Shigure's?" Momiji asked me.
I shrugged. "I don't know, until I can get adopted" I told him.
"H'ari, you should adopt her, you'd make a great parent" he told him.
"Momiji..." he warned pulling into Shigure's drive.
I got out and looked around. Did all the houses in Japan look the same? I sighed and grabbed my duffel. We barely made it to the door when I heard fighting.
"Stupid cat!" one said.
"DAMN RAT!" the other yelled.
"Um...we have company, can you please stop?" I heard a soft feminine voice say as Hatori opened the door.
They all stopped and looked at me. Before I knew what was happening Momiji pushed me towards the one with grey hair. I closed my eyes and I heard a pop.
When I opened my eyes the girl was looking at me a little worried. "A-are you okay? Are you hurt?" she said with panic in her voice.
I shook my head and looked into the bluest eyes I've ever seen on a girl. "I'm fine thanks, where the boy go?" I asked.
"Oh Yuki stepped out to attend his secret base" I heard another voice say.
I looked at him. 'Oh good...a pervert' I thought to myself.
"And how old are you young lady" he asked.
"I'm ten and if you touch me I'll kick your balls in" I told him
He backed off with the three others holding themselves and the girl looking mortified. I think I'll make it here just fine. I just need to learn when to defend myself and when to keep my mouth shut.

Thank you to Velv3tteV3nom for my first review on this story. I fixed all the spelling errors on my notepad and I've been trying to keep the errors to little bit on this one.
TohruKyoYuki thanks for telling me to go ahead with this.
Now my two faithful readers, you decide where to go from here. She's in middle school in Japan but would still be in elementary school here in America. Ideas are always welcomed!
See you in the next chapter!
