Title: Lone Wolf

Summary: (AU) Sango has a full-blooded wolf demon cousin, named Amber, who is currently studying for her legal degree and certification. Amber found out that the University she was currently attending in the states had a transfer program to Temple University, one of Tokyo's most prestigious law universities. What Amber doesn't know about her cousin is that she is currently a legal secretary for her fiancée in his law firm, Shikon. Can Amber adapt to the "all demons are accepted" mentality of Japan or will the fears of being a demon follow her from the States?

Pairings: Kagome/InuYasha – Sango/Miroku – Rin/Sesshomaru – Amber/Kouga

AN: I, of course, do not own InuYasha or Fanboy and Chum Chum. I do not have any rights to Temple University either, although I would love to go and finish my legal classes. ^_^

"This will be when they are speaking English."

"This will be speaking Japanese."

'Thoughts will be in either one.'

"This will be during phone conversations/e-mails/memories."

*L*W*

Sango was laughing as she walked in the door, it was the weekend and she, Kagome, and Rin just got home from doing the shopping for their annual once-a-month weekend get-away with themselves and their mates. They have all known each other sense grade school and Sango still thought it was funny how they ended up together still while Kagome and Rin found it romantic. As they walked in threw the door, this time at Sango and Miroku's home, she noticed there was a letter on the table next to the door addressed to her.

Sango quickly handed her bag to a stunned and quite pair of girls as she quickly picked up the letter, glanced at the back to see who it was from and let out the most girly squeal any of them had ever heard their long-time friend give. The girls gasped as the males came running in to see what happened.

Miroku, InuYasha, Sesshomaru, and Kouga was all lounging in the living room laughing about their ridicules cases they had just finally gotten rid of earlier in the week when they heard one female squeal and the other two gasp, although none of them figured the squeal would have came from Sango. Miroku saw Kagome and Rin in shock and quickly ran to Sango, he placed his hands on her shoulders, "Dearest, are you alright?" he asked in concern.

Sango looked up from the letter; she had yet to open, and grinned like a fool at her fiancée, "I got a letter from my cousin! Oooh, I wonder how she is doing! I wonder if it's almost time for her graduation. Oh, what am I going to get her? That's right! She loves blue, moons, roses, and-"

"Sango!" Rin and Kagome yelled, causing Sango to spin around and look at the two as she tilted her head. "Who is your cousin? Why are you so excited? And just, fill us in woman!" Kagome said. Sango let out a laugh and nodded her head. "But first, let's get the groceries put away and then I'll tell everyone at once in the living room."

*L*W*

'I wonder if Sango got my letter… Ugh I never spent the time figuring out how long it typically took to get a response…' the cinnamon eye colored woman smacked her hand against her forehead as she was in the middle of packing. She let out a sigh and looked at the picture on her wall of her cousin and her family over there. A sad smile appeared on her face, "I'm glad she was able to find a family there after Aunt and Uncle died. Apparently that is the fate of our pack so far, yet she and I have been able to beat the odds against us." She closed her eyes for a moment and remembered Sango was the eldest of their generation in their pack and her parents died first in a horrible car crash where her parents died in a plane crash; which is why she was really nervous about flying to Tokyo.

She finished the last of her things, except for a few pieces of luggage she would be taking on the plane with her; everything was being picked up and sent off to her families estate in Tokyo. Her parents still owned a home there that wasn't too far from Sango and her fiancées current home, which used to belong to Sango's parents.

A little boy with bright red hair knocked on the door, holding a little stuffed animal, he looked up at her with his emerald colored eyes, "Sister? Are we going to be leaving soon?"

She turned around and smiled at her baby brother, who was only 7. Sadly her brother had been just a year old when their parents were killed and she had been raising him sense, along with their family friend Kagura. "Shippo, what are you doing out of bed? It's still early, come on, we'll go snuggle up on the couch and watch cartoons before we need to get ready. Sound good?"

He gave her one if his brilliant smiles and nodded as he took off down the stairs squealing. She couldn't help but laugh to herself as she followed after her brother. Before she was at the top of the stairs, she paused at the little shrine she had placed to their parents and bowed her head, 'I promised when he was born I will always keep Shippo safe and happy, and I'll continue with that promise until he doesn't need me anymore mother and father. We miss you.' she had a sad smile on her face as she whipped a lone tear away and met her brother in the living room, watching his favorite cartoon: Fanboy and Chum Chum.

*L*W*

Sango was on the couch reading the letter quickly and her smile kept getting bigger. The others was surprised, yeah she was typically happy, but they had never seen her so giddy before. Besides after Miroku purposed to her a few months back that is. When finally the cinnamon eye woman looked up from the letter she was neatly folding back she smiled at them all.

"So, you're all curious to know who my cousin is, hm?" They all nodded. "Don't you guys remember me talking about my cousin from the States? She's about," Sango tapped her finger against her chin, "I think she is about 7 years younger than me and she has a baby brother Kohaku's age."

Kagome and Rin's brow drew together as they was trying really hard to remember, the guys was sitting there with their heads tilted to the side also trying to think but obviously not as hard as the girls. The one person that did speak up, however, caught everyone by surprise.

"Isn't her name Amber? And isn't she a full-blooded wolf demon? Your father's niece, isn't that right?" Kouga responded. Sango smiled brightly and nodded her head furiously.

"Yes! She's about to finish her legal degree and she wrote me telling me her and Shippo are moving here to Tokyo! She is going to go to Temple U to finish her degree! I'm so excited! She said they should be getting on their plane in a few days which means today and be here tomorrow morning! They are moving into their parent's estate which is that large white house on the hill up the road."

"You mean the one with the beautiful cherry blossom trees, rose garden, and the stream?" Rin questioned, Sango gave a firm nod.

"She has never been to Tokyo. She's told me how the humans are over there in the States… They aren't tolerant of demons, period. They call demons over there mutants… I don't know how she'll react here when she sees that we can walk around freely without hiding or every 60 years changing our identity…" Sango said sadly as her brown wolf ears laid flat against her head, Kagome and Rin gasped.

"Keh, like she has anything to worry about. If she's your cousin she knows how to take care of herself and plus, she has us now. We're pack and her and her brother will be too. Period." Kagome smiled at InuYasha, "Dear that was the sweetest thing ever." InuYasha just 'keh' at her and blushed as he turned his head away, as the girls giggled.

Miroku smirked and patted his long time friend on the back, "Well said my friend. And very true. After all, how many packs do you see with a two full-blooded inus, full-blooded ookami, miko, monk, half inu, and two half-ookami demon slayers?" Miroku laughed and the others joined in, "Quite true, but hopefully we can help her feel at home." Kouga remarked and the others nodded.

Suddenly Kagome squealed and had a faraway look on her face, "This is perfect! Tomorrow is when we planned on having the cook-out, what better way to get her introduced to the pack and to Tokyo?" Sango smiled, "Do you guys want to go with me when we pick her up? Sense she has never had a pack outside of herself and her brother that would be a good way to start!"

The rest nodded and Sango ran to go call Kohaku to tell him what was going on, Miroku grabbed the letter and read the time for the flight arrival and looked at the clock. "Well, looks like we all had a good time talking, but we should get to bed so we can get there to welcome our new pack members."

*L*W*

"Attention Ladies and Gentleman, we are currently arriving in Tokyo. Thank you for flying with us and enjoy your stay."

Amber blinked as she made sure her tiger eye bracelet was on and Shippo's jade bracelet was in place that was how they blended in with the humans. Shippo woke up, "What's going on?" Amber smiled and kissed him on top of his head, "We're here. Come on, let's get ready cousin Sango should be waiting for us. Are you excited?" Shippo sat up straight and nodded his head excitedly. Amber laughed at his enthusiasm.

When they finally made it off of the plane and threw security they were informed someone already picked up their luggage and was waiting for them. Amber held Shippo's hand as they weaved through the crowd to see a group of photographers snapping pictures and calling names then she heard, "Amber! Over here!"

Amber turned her head, her long wavy golden brown hair flying around her shoulders. She blinked a few times then gave a bright smile, "Sango!" Her and Shippo ran to Sango and threw their arms around her, Shippo who quickly tackled Kohaku and they started talking as fast as only children could do.

"Oh my gosh! Look at you! You look amazing Sango!" Amber exclaimed looking over her cousin with her brown eyes. But noticed her elder cousin's frown, which made her tilt her head in response.

"Take it off." Their group got silent, except for the two chatty boys, as they watched the two females. Amber shook her head and Sango growled, "Take it off, there is no need for it here." That's when Amber noticed her cousin wasn't concealing their family's proud demon markings. She was standing at her height of 5'6", long straight brown hair, cinnamon eyes, her brown wolf ears and tail, along with her white stripe on her cheeks. That's when Amber also looked at the company her cousin was with and noticed the man that was her cousins fiancée and could feel the holy power.

She looked to the other man on his left who had white hair, white dog ears, and amber eyes. 'Half-demon…' she took a sniff, 'half-dog demon…' she looked at the woman he had his arm around, a holy person with sweet blue eyes, waist length black hair. The other woman at her side, waist length black hair, amber eyes, a blue crescent moon on her forehead, 'Dog demoness…' and the male who had his arm around her waist looked her opposite except for the crescent moon and he had magenta stripes on his body. Then the last person she noticed that made her freeze, a male wolf demon. He stood as tall as the dog demon, about 6'0" she guessed who had tanned skin; lower back length black hair that was pulled back in a high pony tail, charming smile, white star on his forehead, brown tail and stunning blue eyes.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, she opened her eyes to reveal she was determined to do this as she gave her cousin a nod that was returned it as well as smiled at her. The other five adults were giving her assuring looks but there was one adult who was giving her a look of curiosity. She gave a soft smile to her little brother as she removed her tiger eye bracelet.

*L*W*

AN: Technically not my first fanfiction, but it is my first one that I am proud of and hope that the story plot from my thoughts will turn out well.
