*Few days earlier*
My social worker (A/N: She never gave Jade her name so we'll call her Sheri for now) Sheri told me that I was going to Japan and had arranged with an ex of hers for me to live at Shigure's with two teenage boys and a teenage girl about their age. She never told me if her ex was male or female and I didn't ask, as I just didn't care.
"Jade when you land there with be a gentleman there holding a sign with your name on it, his name is Hatori Sohma and you are to go with him to the main house to meet Akito Sohma. Akito has allowed you to stay with Shigure as a favor to me as our relationship ended fairly well" she told me.
I nodded. "Why do I have to meet the head of the Sohma household?" I asked out of curiousity.
She sighed. "Because I promised Akito you would go there before going to Shigure's" Sheri told me.
I shook my head not really understanding the purpose but I guess if she wants it then I gotta do it. "Okay whatever, I'm not going to fight with you on this" I told her.
She sighed in relief. "I do hope that tongue of you don't get you into trouble with anyone there...remember Akito is agreeing to this as a favor to me" she said.
I nodded and went to pack my duffel bag to got ready to go.
Sunday no one went to school, but it was the day that Tohru, the one with grey hair named Yuki and I went to get my school uniform.
"Why do I have to wear a uniform? I hate dresses, they are uncomfortable and not right for girls to wear. Men and boys are perverts and shouldn't be looking at girls or women" I commented.
"Miss Miller I really don't think-" Yuki started.
"Jade..my name is JADE!" I snapped at him. "NOT Miss MILLER!"
"My apologies" he said putting up his hands.
"Jade...Yuki is very polite and it's proper for him to call you by your last name" she told me.
I glare at both of them .
"Miss Jade, school uniforms aren't meant as anything bad, it just tells us boys all the girls dress the same...believe or not..not all people like Shigure are perverted" he said.
I snorted as we came to a store that Akito apparently pulled some strings to have open just for me on a Sunday.
We walk in and I sighed. "I still hate dresses, I would rather wear a pant suit or something that won't make the boys drool" I told Tohru.
"Miss Jade, you're in the fourth grade don't worry about boys" Yuki told me.
"Fifth, not fourth...by some miracle I made it to the fifth thank you very much"
"You are to much like Kyo"
"Who's Kyo?" I asked him.
He covered his eyes with his hand. "Never mind" he told me.
A snooty looking lady came towards me. "Let's make this quick...I have better things to do" she remarked.
"Agreed" I mumbled.
The lady pulled me forward and took my measurements.
"You'll be developing soon, I should make it so you can grow into your shirt without it busting at the seams" she replied rudely.
What the hell was she talking about. "Developing? Developing what?" I asked her.
"Breasts" she said looking horrified at how dumb I was.
Yuki was looking at clothes just to stay out of the conversation.
Once the lady was done Tohru paid for the uniforms. "Ready to go?" Tohru asked.
I nodded feeling sufficiently violated by the lady wearing to much perfume and a sharper tongue than mine it would make Sheri cringe. I was really very quiet on the walk home.
"Jade, Yuki and I are going to stop for some ice cream would you like some?" she asked me.
I didn't hear her and before she had a chance to warn me I ran into one they called Kyo. Once again I had my eyes closed and heard a pop. When I opened my eyes I saw Tohru carrying an orange cat and clothes.
"Damn it..." I grumbed.
"Miss Jade, are you alright?" Yuki asked.
"I'm fine, is Kyo alright? What is that popping sound I keep hearing? I think I need my hearing checked" I told him.
He sweatdropped. "Don't worry about it, it's not important" he told him helping me up.
I nodded my thanks to him and we headed home, well Shigure's...I don't count it as home yet. Probably never will -
