Previously:
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.
Now:
Amber closed her eyes as she slipped the tiger eye bracelet off of her slender wrist. She heard a collective gasp and when she opened her even lighter shade cinnamon color eyed she noticed the surprised looks from all of them except for Shippo who looked a little frightened and Sango who looked proud of her cousin. Amber quickly ducks her head down as she then found her feet to be quite interesting at the moment.
'Why in the world did I just do that? I should have known better! I should just put it back on; I was never an attractive wolf.' She thought to herself sadly and was starting to put her bracelet back on until she felt someone gently touch her hand. She quickly lifted her head and saw it was the male wolf demon smiling gently at her. All she could do was look into his eyes wondering why he was stopping her.
*L*W*
Kouga gasped along with the others. Standing in front of them was a female wolf demon that stood at 5'5", curvy figure but also lean, waist length golden brown wavy hair that had a few white streaks threw it, light tan skin, white stripes on her body and a white crescent moon on her forehead in the opposite of the Western Lands marking, and a white tail wrapping around her waist nervously. And when she opened her eyes, her beautiful cinnamon colored eyes was a now lighter shade with black markings around the pupil.
'Wow…' was the only thing that Kouga's brain was willing to function to him at the moment. 'Beautiful she-wolf must get to know master. Possibly mate.' Kouga mentally gave a nod agreeing with his beast at the moment. Kouga then noticed she was about to put the bracelet back on and his beast growled, 'She is afraid! Must let her know everything is okay.' Kouga stepped forward and placed his hand gently on top of her own and as soon as he did he felt a shock run threw his body from the contact, but in a good way. He also got a good whiff of her smell; roses and rain.
He felt his heart skip a beat when she looked up at him with such an innocent and scared look in her eyes. He could hear his beast whimpering from her being afraid, 'Comfort her!' Kouga smiled at her and shook his head, "There is no need. We have never seen such a stunning she-wolf like you is all. It is not we do not accept you, we have accepted you as pack as soon as Sango told us of your arrival yesterday. And I, personally, would feel honored to call such a beautiful female part of my pack." Kouga said smoothly as he lifted her hand and placed a soft kiss on her hand.
InuYasha rolled his eyes, Sesshomaru shook his head, Miroku could only smirk as he walked up to Sango and put his arm around her waist, Kagome and Rin leaned against each other and let out a romantic sigh, Kohaku and Shippo did gagging sounds then went back to their previous conversation, and Sango at first was growling soft but then noticed the look on her cousins face. Sango smirked, 'Just maybe, Kouga would be good for her… She could even him out nicely and he could do the same for her… Hm…'
Amber could feel her face burn brightly as she watched the charming male in front of her. 'He is a very suitable male master. The best we have ever seen so far, maybe he is our mate?' 'It could be possible… But don't know yet, we just met him.' 'Love at first site master, just remember that.' Amber mentally rolled her eyes at her beast; she was such a smartass sometimes. Amber cleared her throat, trying to calm her embarrassment down. "H-hello, my name is Amber Liekos." She smiled softly at them and motioned for Shippo to come to her side, "And this is my little brother, Shippo Liekos."
Shippo grabbed his sisters hand and smiled shyly at the new people, "h-hello" he said softly as he half hid behind his sister. Amber smiled as she knelt down in front of him and removed his jade bracelet. He was about Kohaku's height, shoulder length auburn hair that was pulled back in a high pony tail, brilliant emerald green eyes, brown tail, and white streaks on his cheeks like Sango and Kohaku. Kagome and Rin took one look at Shippo and squealed, "He's so cute!" at the same time which caused everyone else to laugh and Shippo to blush.
Sango smiled and stood at Amber's other side and pointed over to the male with black hair and blue eyes, "That is Miroku Kazaana, my fiancée, a monk." She then next pointed to the half-dog demon standing beside him, "That is InuYasha Taisho, a half-dog demon and Miroku's long time friend. Next to him," pointing to the woman with black hair and blue eyes, "Is is intended, Kagome Higurashi, the Shikon miko." InuYasha gave a court nod while Kagome and Miroku smiled and bowed to them.
"Next to Kagome, is a full-blooded dog demon Rin Taisho, InuYasha's sister-in-law. Next to her is Sesshomaru Taisho, Lord of the Western Lands, full-blooded dog demon as well and InuYasha's half brother." Rin mimicked Kagome and Sesshomaru mimicked InuYasha.
Sango couldn't help but smirk as she noticed how nervous her friend was becoming, shifting from one foot to the other, and how his tail kept twitching with anxiety. "And finally, we have Kouga Ookami; he is the Lord of the Eastern lands and leader of the Eastern Wolf tribe here in Japan." Kouga grinned as he walked up, took Amber's hand again and gave it another kiss. "It is a great pleasure to meet you, my lady."
*L*W*
They arrived at the Lieko's estate about two hours later, the moving company already placing things in the house under the guidance of Kagura. Everyone got out of their vehicles and was looking around the estate, amazed at how well it had been kept up even though apparently it had been empty all this time. Sango walked up to Amber and put her arm around her shoulders as they walked, "Welcome home cousin, it will be good having you guys here."
Amber smiled and leaned her head against her cousins shoulder, "Sango, is um… Kouga mated or have an intended?" she spoke so fast, Sango almost didn't catch what she said. She blinked then grinned, "Nope! He is looking though and I have to say, you caught his attention full and clear." Sango winked at her blushing cousin.
As they all entered the home, Kagura walked up and bowed to them, "Lady Amber, Master Shippo, welcome home. Everything is currently being placed, I knew you would want to arrange things yourself so they are just putting things in the rooms for now. Would you like to rest for a while?"
Amber walked up to Kagura and hugged her long time friend, "Thank you Kagura, once the movers finish why don't you take the day off as well? I'm sure you remember me speaking about my cousin Sango? Well Shippo and I are going to go over there and probably stay there for tonight, we had a long flight so enjoy being back home." She smiled lovingly at her friend who shook her head, "You are too kind my lady. Enjoy your night, if you need anything I am just a phone call away." She spoke as she and some other staff took the remaining bags to their rooms.
Kagome and Rin smiled, 'She's going to fit in just fine.' They both thought to themselves, InuYasha and Sesshomaru saw the shared smile their mates had and laughed. Miroku could see the family resemblance with her kindness he has seen Sango display so many times. Kouga couldn't believe that there was another female outside of his friends that was so friendly and caring. He saw how the staff held such high respect for her and while watching how Amber was joking and playing with her little brother that she was a great mother figure.
Sango had a smirk on her face as she looked at the rest of her pack, 'I guess I should explain to everyone who Amber really is when we get home… Man, are they going to have a shock!' She couldn't help but laugh as they were all walking back to their vehicles to drive to her home.
AN: I hope you enjoyed chapter two of Lone Wolf. But I have to say, I wish I could find my charming wolf like Kouga! :D
