Varan: Ok on to the next chapter!

Varan found Ayame talking to Angel and Earthsong. The two wolves greeted her enthusiastically as soon as she was in sight, jumping around her and frantically wagging their tails. Varan laughed and scratched them both on the ears.

"Hey you two, what's going on?," she asked cheerfully.

: Just getting to know my brother's partner, : Angel replied, broadcasting so that Earthsong and Ayame could hear her as well.

"So is she good enough?" Angel gave a very human nod.

: Yep, she's more than just good enough. : Varan waited for Ayame to turn her attention to Earthsong before asking her next question.

: And is she a good mate for Koga?, : she asked mentally so only Angel could hear her. Angel turned her head to look at the young woman contentedly scratching her brother's ears.

: Well she's strong, loud, doesn't care what other people think about her, and stubbor as a mule. : She turned back to Varan, her eyes twinkling with mirth. : I'd say she's perfect for Koga.: Varan laughed mentally so that Ayame wouldn't hear.

: My thoughts exactly, : she said. : Well now that I have your agreement, I'm going to talk to talk to her about just that. Would you mind taking Earthsong and making yourselves scarse for a while? :

: Of course. Have fun with Koga, : she replied chuckling mischeviously in Varan's mind.

: Oh I will. Now go on, scat! : The two wolves obeyed and left them alone. Varan turned to her friend. "Hey Ayame, I have a question for you."

"Sure, what is it?" Varan sat down next to her with a sigh. Hopefully Ayame wouldn't loose her temper with her. She looked over at her friend.

"Do you love my cousin? And answer honestly, because I know he loves you. He just needs some help admiting it." She waited for Ayame to scream or yell or throw a fit of rage at the suggestion. But she didn't. She did something no one had ever seen her do before. She BLUSHED! Her cheeks turned a light pink as Varan watched. She took a deep breath and mummbled a reply.

"Yes I do love him. Even if he is a jackass," she muttered quietly. A normal human wouldn't have heard her, but Varan did. She grinned and stood.

"Good. Now I just have to deal with my cousin," she said. She left, trying to find Koga's scent, leaving a shocked and confused Ayame staring at the chair she had just been sitting in.

Koga was in the training room, getting a little work out. Varan watched him for a moment then approached. He saw her moving toward him and stopped what he was doing.

"What do you want Varan?," he asked. Varan laughed at the annoyance in his voice.

"Nice to see you too cous," she replied. "I just wanted to see if you were up to a little bet. He eyed her suspiciously.

"What kind of bet?" Varan shrugged nonchalantly.

"Nothing big. I just bet I can beat you in a fight. If I win you have to do something for me."

"And if I win?" She shrugged again.

"I don't know, you think of something. It's not like you're going to win anyway." Koga growled at the suggestion that he couldn't beat a half breed, and a female also! What could he have her do if...WHEN...he won? Something that would annoy her to no end.

"Ok but I win -which I will- then you have to babysit Shippo when he's all hyped up on sugar." Varan laughed.

"Ok then, it's a bet." She clasped her hand in his own to seal the bet. The she set about thrashing his tail. (a/n: No offense to Shippo! Just that would be kinda scary don't you think? lol)

Koga growled in annoyance as he searched for Ayame. He had lost. That damn bitch had kicked his ass in two minutes flat! And now he had to fullfill his part of the bet.

"Ok, well I won so here's what you gotta do," she had said. "I know you love Ayame and don't even bother trying to deny it! So, what I want you to do is tell her! She loves you too and I know she'll accept you so do it!" Koga cursed his cousin as he walked. Now he had to find Ayame and tell her how he felt. Varan claimed that she felt the same, but was she telling the truth? Was this some kind of cruel joke she was pulling? Well it didn't matter, he still had to tell her. He had his honor after all. He finally found her walking through one of the many hallways. She waved when she saw him and walked up to him.

"Hi Koga. Have you seen Varan anywhere?," she asked. Koga growled again at the mention of his cousin's name.

"Yeah you could say that," he replied. "And I'm not very happy with her right now."

"Why did she set your tail on fire again?" Koga shook his head. He had forgotten over the years how much Varan liked pulling pranks on him. But that wasn't what he was here for.

"No, nothing like that. But I need to talk to you Ayame." He looked her straight in the eye and spoke again. "Ayame I...I..." He stopped. Why couldn't he say it? Why was this so hard? She sighed and punched him lightly.

"Hey, spit it out! I don't have all day ya know!" He growled angrily.

"Damn bitch, I'm trying to tell you that I want you as my mate and you go and say that? Do you know how hard this is for me?," he yelled. Ayame stared at him with large round eyes. He swallowed nervously when he realized what he just blurted out. Suddenly Ayame's face lit up in a grin. She reached up and pulled his head down to hers. She kissed him briefly then started heading toward their room. He watched her stupidly for a moment and she turned back to look at him.

"Comming?" Koga blinked and nodded dumbly, following her to their room. Guess Varan had been right after all.

(Hmm well that was short. Why don't we see what Shippo and Kurama are doing?)

Kurama decided to teach Shippo how to use his powers, since his foster mother was too "busy" to play with him. He had Shippo show him what he already knew how to do. Shippo could to some illusions but not many, and he still couldn't control his energy and make a rose whip, but for now the spinning top was a good enough weapon. Once Shippo got a little older he would teach him how to use his energy to create a weapon. For now they would work on the illusions. Shippo learned fairly quickly. He mastered most of the illusions that Kurama showed him, except for an adult demon. But Kurama was proud of his cousin anyway. Later they found Varan again. She was talking to some of the other pack members. Kurama smiled and walked over to them. Varan waved and continued her story.

"So, I beat him in two minutes flat, and he was off to talk to Ayame. Another job well done I think," she said. The others laughed. Kurama guessed who she was talking about. Really, who else could it be?

"Did you pick on Koga again Varan?," he asked. She nodded clearly satisfied with herself.

"Yep and I got him and Ayame together at the same time! Am I good or what?" Kurama chuckled and told Shippo to go play, then went back to his mate.

"I hope you didn't hurt him too badly," he said. She laughed and shook her head.

"Not really, just his pride. It must hurt to be beaten by your younger half breed cousin."

"Probably." He smiled and hugged her to him. "So who's next on your hit list?"

"Miroku and Sango. I'm going easy on him though. He already admited to himself that he loves her or so I'm told. So I'll just talk to Darkwing. I'm sure he can convince him to tell Sango." Kurama smiled.

"Sounds like a plan. Now come on, I want to show you how much Shippo's learned today. We were busy too." They walked hand in hand in search of the kitsune. Now that she had accomplished her goal for the day it was time to relax.

Varan: Ok so I'm inviting all my faithful reviewers to a pool party fic! Want in? Just give me your pen name or a name you want to use and something about you so that I know how to write you. And you can have a date from any Yu Yu Hakusho or Inuyasha character except for Kurama. If it's a character from another series tell me and if I know the character then it'll be fine, but I don't know very many anime.

Shippo: Please come! I'm gonna DJ!

Kagome: And there will be lots of character bashing!

Varan: Yep. Oh and give me ideas for games in your review if you can. I know t or d for example, but I need dare ideas. So review!
