Kurama: Varan stop acting like a little kid.
Varan: You guys are no fun. *sigh* Oh well. Here's the chapter.
They made it back safely, much to everyone's relief. Once everyone had settled down they began to make a plan. And quickly found it to be useless.
"This is getting us no where," Inuyasha growled, banging the table hard with his fist in frustration. "We're warriors not strategists damn it!"
"Then let's recruit some," suggested Sango. "After all, we need troops and the like. Let's find people who can help us." She turned to Koga. "You're the general, don't you have any allies we can call on?" Koga considered his options for a moment, then shrugged.
"Yes I think so, although I am reluctant to ask them." Ayame snorted.
"Well too bad, cause we need help. So swallow your pride and get them down here!" Koga glared at her and turned to Sesshomaru.
"What are your orders?" Sesshomaru sighed, letting his mask slip slightly and letting some weariness show through.
"Call them," he replied. "We aren't getting anywhere just sitting around here like this." Koga nodded.
"Yes sir. I'll get on it right away." He made a swift retreat while the others retired to their rooms. They were all exhausted from the day's events, especially Kagome. They would plan their attack when Koga's allies came the next day. All they could do for now was wait.
Naraku pounded on the arm of his couch in anger. How had she gotten away? It made no sense! She must have had help from someone. But who? None of his servants would dare to try and cross him. So how did she escape? He picked up his scrying sphere to see if he could find an answer. The sphere showed him a silver haired dog demon embracing Kagome. Naraku growled angrily and ground his teeth together. So it was Inuyasha, the second son of Inutaisho. How dare that insolent whelp touch what was his? Well he would pay. He smiled nastily. He would kill the witches and demons who were opposing him, but would take the girl and the dog demon. He would kill Inuyasha slowly, but first he would let him watch while he took the girl. Yes, that would do. He set the sphere down and sat back. He would get his revenge, but first he had to get more demons to fight. He would send Kagura on it immediately.
Koga grumbled irritatedly as he waited with the others for the arrival of their allies. Figures they would be late. He was about to voice a complaint when something large and heavy collided with his back, knocking him onto his stomach.
"Hey cous, did ya miss me?" Koga groaned and covered his eyes with one hand. Why him?
"Varan get off! You're supposed to be here on business!," he exclaimed. Ayame stared at the girl sitting on the wolf demon's back. She had shoulder length wavy brown hair, bright blue eyes, and a furry brown tail at the small of her back. On top of her head were two brown wolf ears. She grinned and got off of Koga, dusting herself off as she did.
"You're such a stick in the mud Koga," she said. "So what if I am here on business? I haven't seen you, dear cousin, in years! Why shouldn't I greet you properly?" Koga sighed and stood as well. He turned to his friends.
"Everyone, this is my cousin Varan. She's a half demon, my uncle's child. She is now the leader of the southern wolf tribe, and they have agreed to help us fight Naraku."
"Nice to meet you," Varan greeted. Suddenly she began looking around. "So this is where you live now huh cous? Nice place." She noticed Ayame and Earthsong standing to the side. "Hey Earthsong! How are ya boy?" Earthsong yipped and ran up to her.
: Varan! Is Angel here?, : he asked. She nodded.
"Yep, she's out there with the others. Why don't you go say hello? She misses you alot."
"Where is the rest of your pack anyway?," Koga asked.
"They're waiting outside. Come on we can all be properly introduced at once that way." She ran out without waiting for a reply. Koga shrugged and followed. Waiting for them was a pack of wolf demons and mortal wolves. One wolf ran up to them tail wagging happily. She was followed by a man with long red hair. He smiled as Varan headed towards him. Kagome noticed he had the pointed ears of a demon. His brilliant emerald eyes regarded them warmly as the approached. Varan waved to the demon and ran up to him, grabbing his arm and pulling him towards the group. "Ok then, introductions. I'm Varan and this is Kurama, my mate. He's a kitsune in case you couldn't tell. (a/n: I'm using his human form and turning it into a demon one. His real demon form could make things confusing between him and Inuyasha, so I'm just gonna do it this way.) Kurama, this is my cousin Koga the full demon." Koga picked it up from there.
"These are Lords Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, and Miroku. The girls are our slaves." Ayame bristled indignantly.
"Down." Koga was immediately slammed into the ground. Varan broke out in a fit of hysterical laughter. Kurama managed not to laugh, but couldn't repress a grin. Varan walked over to Ayame and clapped her on the shoulder.
"Wow that was great! You aren't ordinary humans are you? I can smell the magic around you. What's your name?" Ayame smiled, She was beginning to like Varan.
"I'm Ayame, and you're right. I'm a witch and so are they. That's Kagome, Sango, and Rin. Next to them are their familiars Starfire, Darkwing, and Riverswift. Earthsong is my familiar." Varan's eyes widened in surprise.
"Really? Earthong? Wow! Good for him! He used to be part of my pack you know, until he left with Koga. He's Angel's brother, that wolf he's with over there." Ayame could see the two wolves greeting each other. Angel had brown fur, with a reddish ring on the top of her head like a halo. She could tell where her name came from. Varan smiled again then turned back to Koga. Without any warning at all she walloped him upside the head.
"OW! What the fuck did you do that for?," he asked indignantly, rubbing his now sore head. She glared at him and pointed to Ayame and the other witches.
"For being a jackass to these girls!," she answered. "You should know better!" She was going to hit him again, but Kurama grabbed her arm, stopping her in midswing.
"Varan, now is really not the time for this," he said calmly. He looked over at Sesshomaru. "I would like to go over the situation if you don't mind. I'm a fairly good strategist and I believe I will be able to help you." Sesshomaru regarded the kitsune for a moment before nodding his consent.
"Very well. Inuyasha, Miroku, Koga, and I shall brief you." Varan sighed and pried Kurama's hand off of her arm.
"Well Kurama, that's your area of expertise so I'll leave you to it." She turned to the girls and her familiars. "Why don't you girls show me around? I'd like to get a better look at this place. The boys will settle themselves fine without me." (a/n: Varan is the only female in the pack.) Kagome saw this as a perfect opportunity to ask about Inuyasha's behavior. She was part demon after all, so maybe she would understand what he had meant. Suddenly a small blur came rushing through the castle doors and collided with Kurama's stomach.
"Kurama! I can't believe it! What are you doing here?" Kurama gasped trying to catch his breath so he could answer. Sitting in his arms was little Shippo grasping him around the middle in a tight hug. Finally Kurama was able to reply.
"Sh-Shippo? Is that you? I thought you were dead!," he exclaimed. Shippo shook his head.
"Nope, I managed to get away and Kagome healed me just in time!" Kurama hugged Shippo and turned to look at Kagome.
"I suppose I should thank you for saving my cousin Lady Kagome," he said, smiling warmly. "After our family was attacked I thought I was the only survivor. I am very glad that I am not after all." Kagome smiled back at him.
"You're very welcome Kurama. I was glad to help him." Shippo suddenly started sniffing the air and looked over at Varan. He jumped off of Kurama and scampered over to her climbing up onto her shoulder. He sniffed again curiously before speaking/
"You're a half demon aren't you?," he asked. Varan nodded.
"Yep half wolf demon," she replied. "I'm Koga's cousin." Shippo looked at her curiously.
"Why do you and Kurama smell like each other?" Varan turned red and Kurama's face took on a faint pink tinge.
"We're mated Shippo," he said. Kagome marveled at how calm he was. He was doing the exact opposite of what Inuyasha would be doing. Shippo's eyes widened and he looked back and forth between his cousin and the young hanyou.
"Oh," he said. "So she's my cousin now too?" Varan smiled.
"Yep I am Shippo. Is that ok with you?" Shippo smiled sweetly like only a little kid could.
"Yeah! You're nice so I don't mind," he replied. Varan laughed and plucked him off her shoulder.
"Well that's good. Say, why don't you go play with Earthsong and Angel? We need to talk about some grown up things ok?"
"Ok." He jumped away from her and ran over to Earthsong and Angel. Varan smiled again, then turned to her pack.
"Ginta, Hakkaku (did I spell that right?) come here." Immediately two wolf demons emerged from the group. "Get the pack settled. Make sure all our gear is ready if we need it. When that's done go ahead and explore or whatever. I'll put out the call if there's a battle. And behave yourselves understand?" She raised her voice so the whole pack could hear the last part. She grinned at them and they all chuckled lightly.
"Of course mother," Ginta replied sarcastically. "We'll all behave like good little boys, don't worry." Varan laughed and shooed them with a hand.
"Get going then, no use sticking around here." They grinned and gathered their things. As they began walking to the castle she yelled one last order. "And no tracking mud!" They laughed and continued on, chatting and laughing. Inuyasha shook his head.
"How can they be so carefree before a battle?," he asked. Varan shrugged, he tail waving gently from side to side.
"There's no use worrying about it. We enjoy what peace we have, and when the battle comes, we won't be weighed down by worries or fears. Live life to the fullest and you will never have any regrets."
"That's an interesting way to look at things," commented Rin. She turned to the boys who were watching them intently. "Hey aren't you supposed to be planning an attack Naraku?"
"Maybe we should send Darkwing and them to make sure they stay focus," added Sango. Varan snickered.
"Gotta keep an eye on these ones alright, or else they might get into trouble." Ayame laughed and started walking away pulling Varan with her. She was liking this girl more and more, and so were the others.
"Damn straight. But Darkwing, Riverswift and Starfire will make sure they stay focused on the task and keep them out of mischief." The girls laughed and headed away from the boys, ignoring Inuyasha, and Koga's angry growls. Miroku watched them go shaking his head.
"Koga my friend, I'm not sure it was a good thing for you to bring her here." Koga sighed and rubbed the sore spot on his head.
"I told you I didn't want to, but I had no other choice." He turned to Kurama. "And you mated her? How can you stand dealing with her everyday? She's part of the reason I went out on my own." Kurama shrugged and gave him a small smile.
"I guess I'm used to it by now. She can be a handfull, but her heart's in the right place." Inuyasha shook his head in disgust.
"We've had plenty of trouble with those bitches already. I'm positive that throwing a hanyou like her into the mess will only make things worse for us." Kurama gave him a knowing look.
"Ah, so you are fond of the young ladies then aren't you? Have you told them how you feel yet?" Inuyasha gaped at him. Kurama laughed as Miroku and Koga gave him similar looks. "I guess you haven't then. Well I'm sure they'll figure it out eventually." Inuyasha shed his stupor and glared at his new ally.
"Feh, stupid fox, mind your own business," he growled. Kurama merely smiled again, wisely dropping the subject. He knew Varan would see to it those girls knew what was going on. She would love to play matchmaker. He noticed the girl's familiars watching him. Starfire's scales had taken on a light orange color as she listened to the demons talk. She could tell things would get interesting very soon.
The girls sat in the kitchen trading stories over lunch. They told Varan about how they had met the boys and about the prophesy. Varan told them about her parents and how she had met Kurama.
"My father was the leader of the southern pack and my mother was a human. When Father died, I took his place as head of the pack," she said. "Kurama I met two years ago. I had been hunting and gotten attacked by a demon. Full demons don't like half breeds like me you see, and try to kill them when they find one. So anyway, I killed the demon, but was badly injured and I passed out. When I woke up he was there leaning over me. I was so surprised I sat up and punched him in the jaw." The girls chuckled and Varan grinned. "Once I had calmed down, he treated my wounds and we began to talk. We eventually became friends and he would come by and visit often. Then one day last year he asked me to be his mate. I've never been happier in my life. I was lucky to find him." Kagome nodded.
"Yeah, he seems like a good guy," she said. "Speaking of guys, can I ask you something about demon males?"
"Sure go ahead," Varan replied. Kagome told her about the conversation she had with Inuyasha. Varan listened intently. When Kagome was finished she grinned again. Sango, Ayame, and Rin scolded their friend for not telling them sooner. When they were finished Varan spoke up.
"Kagome do you love Inuyasha?," she asked. Kagome blushed and looked at the table.
"Y-yes I do. I have for a while, but I can't figure out how he feels about me." Varan smiled reasuringly.
"Well don't worry. He called you his bitch right? That means he considers you to be his mate, so he most likely returns your feelings." Kagome looked up, her heart soaring.
"Really?" Varan laughed and nodded.
"Really Kagome." She turned to the others. "And if I'm not mistaken I believe the others feel the same about you girls." They stared at her in shock. She laughed at the looks on their faces. "I'm serious you guys. So..." She leaned back in her chair grinning mischievously. "Do you want help getting them to admit it?"
Inuyasha: You didn't.
Varan: Yep! Now I can torture you IN the fic as well as out of the fic!
Koga: Why me? And what's with all the cousins?
Varan: I dunno, that's what I came up with. Oh, before I go, I wanna clear up some things in case anyone is confused. Inuyasha is a full demon. Sesshomaru is his full brother also, just in case anyone is confused about that. Also Starfire's moods. The darker the color the stronger the emotion. Here's a key for future reference.
Saphire- normal
Orange- amused
Red- anger/ rage
Grey- sad
Purple- content
Black- hatred
Pink- embarassed
White- fear
Green- shame
Gold- joy
I hope that helps if anyone is confused.

Kurama: Why did you make us mates?
Varan: *blush* Uh- well I uh.

"Y-yes I do. I have for a while, but I can't figure out how he feels about me." Varan smiled reasuringly.
"Well don't worry. He called you his bitch right? That means he considers you to be his mate, so he most likely returns your feelings." Kagome looked up, her heart soaring.
"Really?" Varan laughed and nodded.
"Really Kagome." She turned to the others. "And if I'm not mistaken I believe the others feel the same about you girls." They stared at her in shock. She laughed at the looks on their faces. "I'm serious you guys. So..." She leaned back in her chair grinning mischievously. "Do you want help getting them to admit it?"
Inuyasha: You didn't.
Varan: Yep! Now I can torture you IN the fic as well as out of the fic!
Koga: Why me? And what's with all the cousins?
Varan: I dunno, that's what I came up with. Oh, before I go, I wanna clear up some things in case anyone is confused. Inuyasha is a full demon. Sesshomaru is his full brother also, just in case anyone is confused about that. Also Starfire's moods. The darker the color the stronger the emotion. Here's a key for future reference.
Saphire- normal
Orange- amused
Red- anger/ rage
Grey- sad
Purple- content
Black- hatred
Pink- embarassed
White- fear
Green- shame
Gold- joy
I hope that helps if anyone is confused.
