Diclaimer: I do not own Furuba, BUT I do own Hanako so no stealing her please. And I DO own this plot. Yes I know the basic idea of the story has been done before but not MY way.

Warnings: Swearing, not alot, but enough to rate it T later on. And there is going to be quite a violent part in later chapters, so for now enjoy the fluffy stuff.

Welcome! I'm so glad to see everyone again! This is my fifth story to do so far. And I hope it will be my best. I have high hopes for this story so be prepared!


Sister of the Dog


'The eleventh animal is the dog. But he had an excuse for why he was late. He told the Emperor that after a long spell he needed a good bath and the temptation of fresh water from the river was too hard to resist. For that, he almost didn't make it to the finish line.'

"A letter!" Ayame Sohma said as he threw down an envelope onto the table in front of him. Shigure Sohma and Hatori Sohma stared at the envelope then back at Ayame.

"Who's it from?" Shigure asked as he flipped the letter over.

"It's from none other than our little Hanako-chan!" Ayame said as he began to pry open the letter.

"Hanako, really?" All three boys crowded around the envelope as Ayame opened it at set it down on the table. It was neat and well written. It looked like whoever wrote it was very grammar-wise. The letter read:

Dear Aaya,

How have you been? Good I hope. I have recently caught a cold, but it's nothing to worry about. Amazing news, I will be coming home soon! The exact date has not been made yet. But it will probably be sometime this week. I have great photographs to show you guys and can't wait to come home!

Give my best wishes to Ha-san and my little puppy!

Sincerely,

Hanako Sohma

"Well that's good." Shigure said as he finished reading the letter.

"Good?" Hatori questioned. "You haven't seen her for one whole year, Shigure."

"Gure-san is just acting polite but inside he is jumping for joy!" Ayame said as he jumped for joy himself. Shigure smiled slightly and rose from his seat. "They'll be waiting for me back at home, so I better get going. You can keep the letter Aaya. See you later Ha-san." Hatori nodded and Ayame stood up and extended a hand to Shigure. "Oh darling Gure-san, I will wait for you marvelous return!"

"And I will count the minuets until I will be in your arms once again Aaya!"

Hatori sighed. It might be a little while before Shigure actually leaves.


"Do you have a car?" A girl asked. She looked around her mid twenties. Her pitch black hair was straight and hung down to her shoulders. She was wearing a baggy sweater and jeans. Her chocolate eyes peered at the boy she was questioning.

"What? Eh? No I don't, I'm sorry! SO SORRY! I will go out and buy a car RIGHT AWAY!" The girl grabbed his hand just before the dirty blonde boy could dash off.

"No Ricchan, don't waste your money. A college student isn't a very high paying job." The girl said smiling.

"I know, but what will you use for transportation now?"

"I can walk silly."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for being so silly!" The girl sighed as she told Ritsu Sohma that it was quite all right. She grabbed her bag and smiled at him. "I better be off. I know it's not a long walk to Shigure's house but I want to get there before the sun sets. Sorry for eating and running."

"That's alright it was nice to see you again, Hanako-chan!" Hanako smiled and started off walking down the block. The sun was already setting, Hanako wondered if she would be able to reach her destination before dark.


Shigure walked down the crisp cool path in the forest kicking leaves out of his way as he trotted along. So she was coming back soon, was she? It had only been a year so why did it feel like such along time?

"It's only going to be half a year."

That was what Hanako had said. But half had turned into one once she got a job that paid big time. It was great that she was coming home again though. Tohru would definitely like to meet Hanako. And Shigure had a feeling that Hanako would like Tohru. Shigure looked up. He had already reached his house. He climbed up the steps and opened the door.

"It's about time!" Kyou yelled as soon as Shigure entered. "We have been waiting for you to come back from Hatori's so we can eat dinner!"

"Patience Kyou, love takes time." Shigure said with a mischievous smile.

"Oh cut the crap you damn dog and sit down to eat!"


A girl who looked around her mid-twenties climbed up the Sohma steps. She drew a hand up to the door but hesitated. She gulped but brought her fist down to knock on the door.


Well, that's chapter one. Or quite possibly the prolouge. Not, not many interesting things happened but please keep reading. I swear it will become much more interesting. I have quite a few twists up my sleave.
