Hey, people. It's me again. Sorry for the long wait, real life issues and the like have resurected the cockblock demon. But, I was able to keep him at bay long enough to write this. First off, yes. This is a (dare I say it?) the first NO-YIFF segment to hit my story(GASP! There I said it.) Sorry, while the story is a remains a yiff story, I just cannot in good concience jeopardize the story by forcing the yiff parts. This was originally not a no-yiff segment, but the segment was too long, so I split it. I try to keep my installments 5-9 pages. And I refused to break symmetry by posting a 13+ page story. But, don't worry, I plan on making up for it in the next part. And that brings us to: Comments! You people have forced my hand. Comments are mandatory! Mwuahahaha! I will hold part 9/2 hostage until I am satisfied with the comments. A dirty trick, but as I said you people have forced me to. And the first person to leave me a comment like the one in part 7 I will send Akras and Rael to show them what happens when you piss me off. And with that: ON WITH THE STORY!

(PS: Haha. Fooled ya. It's your favorite, my PS notes!)

(PPS: The first person to tell me that I should write for myself and not others is getting shot.)

(PPPS: I do understand that I cannot, in truth, force you people to leave comments. So if you are thinking of writing me to tell me that, realize that yes, it was humor.)

From the Ashes-Part 8: Matchmaker-Part 1

Jared got up from the bed, Veronica's blue eyes following his every move. "Yes, love? What about you and Fuse?" Veronica asked, her face absent of her usual cheery smile but instead contorted into a puzzled look of quizzical curiosity.

"Well...erm...Ah...While...you were gone..." Jared stuttered. Veronica merely continued to stare at him expectantly. "Well?" she asked. "Me and Fuse...ah... see this is kinda hard to tell you...but..."

"You an Fuse made love." Veronica finished his sentence bluntly. Jared exhaled a big sigh as he sank back down to the bed. "Yes." He said, his eyes downcast as he awaited the inevitable explosion. That was it. She hated him. He turned toward her, thinking that even if she despised him, he should at least save some form of dignity by looking her in the eyes.

But when their eyes met, Jared didn't see the fires of loathing burning behind Veronica's eyes, no boiling look of betrayal showed itself in Veronica's delicate features. Rather, Veronica wore an expectant look of ebbing patience. "Well?" she asked.

"'Well' what?" Jared replied.

"You and Fuse made love, and?"

"What?"

"You and Fuse made love and I assumed you were going to tell me something extraordinary since you and Fuse surely can't be what you're so stressed over."

Jared stared in disbelief at his blue-furred feline mate. "So, I break our Bond and you have no problem with that?" A look of realization dawned Veronica's face as she let out a small chuckle. She grabbed her lover's wrist and pulled him close into a kiss. He broke it.

"Okay, now I'm really confused...Happy. But confused." He added, an unsure smile crossing his face. Veronica stroked his cheek. "Oh, Jared, you're so sweet." She said, a hand cupping his cheek. "Why do you think I sacrificed myself for you? I love you, and wanted you to live, and I refuse to get angry at you for doing just that. I had expected to die in those caves, and do you think I'd have done that expecting you to pine for the rest of your life?"

Jared listened intently. He guessed Veronica's words made sense. "I figured Fuse would get to you first." Veronica continued. This surprised Jared. "How come?" Jared asked. "Well, Fuse had her eye on you for some time. Something about you just attracts her. And as you know, she can be a bit aggressive. I think once a while back she asked to join us once, but I know you expressed your feelings that you thought that bringing someone else into the relationship was just asking for trouble."

Jared remembered the time when Veronica had asked a few questions regarding fetishes and things of that nature. Jared has assumed that Veronica had merely found his laptop and somehow viewed his web history and found the porn sites that Jared had visited during his trips to Earth. Jared supposed she had gotten Auldron to hack into it. Jared had thought nothing of it then, but now it made sense. Fuse had asked Veronica.

"I do think its sweet that you were concerned about my feelings though. It's a very caring gesture." Veronica smiled at Jared, licking his cheek in a light, playful kiss.

Now that Veronica's monologue was over, a mix of emotions washed over Jared. He was somewhat angry with Veronica for taking this so coolly when he himself was torn by it, yet he was grateful that she wasn't mad at him, and a little confusion still boggled his mind. But, through all this, one thought remained: V still loved him.

"I still have a few ques-" Jared started only to be shushed by Veronica's lips pressed into his. Ahh, screw it, he thought. It was a dead issue and he would have to live with it, but at least it was out in the open and Jared's conscience was clear.

"How come Fuse never found a mate?" Jared asked,

"She's just never found anyone she really liked, I guess."

"Except me."

"Right. But I don't think I wanna share." Said Veronica as she drew her lover into a tight hug.

After a minute, Jared tried to break away, but Veronica squeezed tighter. "Mine." She said, nuzzling his neck with her furry face. "As much as I am enjoying this, breathing is kinda required." Jared said with a laugh as Veronica released her strong hug with a giggle.

As Jared sat there, an idea struck him. "It seems Fuse likes earthlings more than Furries, as we both know that she finds me attractive, why don't we try to find her someone?" A wry smile crossed Veronica's lips. "You have a plan?" "Sorta." Jared smiled back. "Well, tell me about it while we head downstairs." And Jared explained about dating sites as they headed toward the hotel common room. As Jared exited the room, he noted the shreds of cloth within the wastebasket, a clear sign of the clawing session she must've had when she got up this morning. Jared never thought of how much V could hurt him whenever she was tenderly stroking him, but whenever he saw the results of her clawing (which usually happened the morning after a good orgasm), it kinda scared him of the thought of what his back would look like.

Jared and Veronica stepped off the elevator into a hallway, Veronica's wry smile still on her face. The couple entered the room. Jared's eyes swept the various tables, looking for the familiar faces. Right smack dab in the center of the throng of half-awake patrons sipping coffee was a blue and white-furred husky wearing a red shirt and a matching skirt, once again because of the tail. Right next to her was a turtle wearing a white shirt with dark green pants. Fuse was sipping something from a mug and giggling as she conversed with Auldron who had what looked like a few pieces of fruit on his plate.

Jared saw Fuse turn her head toward him and V as they got closer. She jumped and said something to Auldron, who also turned. The friends greeted each other with smiles and hugs. Jared and Veronica sat down. The group chitchatted about that they just couldn't resist a trip to Earth and they hoped Jared didn't mind. Jared just laughed it off, saying that he was very glad they did. Jared promised to show them the city later. They had never been in an Earth city before, so naturally they were curious about the culture. Throughout the morning, Jared explained about the different things about Earth, particularly America, and his friends gobbled up every bit of information, except maybe Veronica, who had probed Jared about his home planet before.

Jared laughed as he explained the foods that were available. Mostly the people on The Five ate fruits and vegetables and greens. True, the carnivores ate rare meat, but that was about the extent. Yes, they had found most of the herbs and spices the humans did, along with a few others, but most were not used; the people of the Five had never really turned cooking into the art and science that it was on Earth.

Jared had laughed at the trio when they had first tried a soda. They were surprised at the ticklish sensation the bubbles made. The rest of the day consisted of Jared showing the gang around the big city, although most of it, Jared was learning himself, as he had never really explored the city. He just liked the hotel.

The sun was showing the first hint of setting as the group sat outside of a café...the fifth one they'd been to that day. "God, Veronica. Are you sure you wouldn't like some coffee with your cream and sugar?" Jared joked as he watched Fuse pour her third spoonful of sugar and her fourth packet of creamer into her originally black coffee. Fuse just giggled back, it seemed the canine enjoyed the sweet liquid. Jared turned to V for assistance, who just giggled at her mate with a glance at Fuse. "Oh, stop. You're no better, miss hot chocolate." Veronica and Fuse giggled some more as they sipped their mugs. It seemed that every café they passed, the girls just had to stop and get a coffee and a hot chocolate. "They're insatiable." Jared said, giving up on the females and their ways and turning to his kindred spirit, Auldron.

Even though Auldron was here for technical reasons (he had to make sure the Aether generators worked properly. He very well couldn't have them malfunction and expose the blue-furred feline and the blue-and-white-furred husky), Auldron did his best not to drop into his usual routine of babbling on in technical jargon. Jared actually found Auldron to be quite a pleasant character. "Yes, they are." Auldron replied. "How many mates have you had?" Jared asked, his standard 'guy talk' kicking in.

"None."

"None?"

"Yep."

"So, never? Not once?"

"Nope."

"Oh, stop it Auldron. We all know that you have a crush on your lab partner, that otter girl." Fuse said mischievously. "Her name is Sherry." Auldron said indignantly. Jared couldn't help but laugh to himself, seeing Auldron's face. If turtles had lighter skin, then Jared was sure that Auldron would have been blushing. "Come on, Auldron. She's just teasing." Veronica said, a mischievous smile to rival Fuse's on her face. "Besides, she is pretty." The girls broke out laughing, obviously delighting in Auldron's embarrassment. Auldron turned his head away. "She likes you, ya know." Fuse said. A new torrent of laughter escaped the girls as they busted out laughing again as a "Humph!" was all that escaped Auldron. "Okay, girls, enough." Jared said, coming to the rescue of his embarrassed friend.

Jared saw that the two mugs were empty as saw that as his cue to escape, for he knew that the girls could drink coffee and hot chocolate all day if left to their own devices. Jared hadn't expected his furry companions to take to Earth food so well.

They paid for their drinks. Jared wasn't exactly comfortable carrying about ten thousand dollars in small bills around in his wallet and an envelope in his pocket. Sure, it was the only way. Jared had gone to several appraisers with fine minerals and precious stones mined from The Five. The Council understood his need for money on Earth, and they couldn't very well counterfeit it, so he told them that the easiest way to get quick cash is selling uncut precious stones and metals on Earth. In truth, Jared would rather carry around the money than uncut precious stones, but he still couldn't help feeling a little creeped out by the waiter's lustful eyes on his bulging wallet as he paid for the drinks.

Dammit. He couldn't very well open a bank account, but he really didn't want any trouble from any would-be pickpocket or thug. Oh well, Jared pushed these thoughts to the back of his mind as the group made their way to the hotel. Veronica finally decided to tell Fuse about the Internet dating plan. Fuse was elated to hear about it, Jared having guessed right that she would love the prospect of choosing an earthling mate. And since Jared was going to use a Furry dating site, Fuse's chosen shouldn't be at all revolted by Fuse's true form.

Jared spent most of that night typing up Fuse's profile on the laptop, having nothing else to do as Auldron had long ago installed a program on his computer that would search the entire Internet database for what they were searching for. Jared noted that a lot of its time was searching through sci-fi fanfiction sites.

Typing up Fuse's profile would have been a lot easier had he not had two females constantly hanging on him. Veronica was more hyper than usual due to the seven hot chocolates and Fuse was no better, the excess sugar amplifying the playful side of her.

What sucked is that Jared couldn't very well sit them down in front of the TV and let the machine suck their brain in. They didn't understand any of the issues in any of the shows being unfamiliar to the culture. As a result, they soon grew bored and went on to pester Jared.

Jared was typing away at the laptop, the steady soft clicking of the keys being the only sound other than the TV, which was playing some sort of drama. Jared's brain didn't register the fact that the girls were moving until he heard the curtains being drawn. He heard Fuse giggle followed by Veronica as he felt more than heard them creep silently toward him.

Jared continued to type, pretending to be unaware of the goings-ons behind him. He felt two hands placed behind his back and another two hands placed on his thighs. Jared just continued to type, trying his best not to smile. The hands on his back slowly massaged his shoulders and neck, and the hands on his thighs started moving steadily toward his crotch. Jared continued to type. Jared knew that he had the game lost when he felt a furred hand slip under his pants to grab his growing erection. Dammit. "Okay. Enough." Jared said, flustered. He got up and sat Veronica and Fuse down and turned on some channel that was showing the making of chocolate. Or it might have been some sort of movie with a chocolate factory in it. Either way, he didn't care; at least the girls were distracted by the tasty looking treats on the screen. Usually, Jared would have liked these games, but come on. Thirty minutes of constant teasing takes its toll on someone, and Veronica and Fuse's sugar high didn't help matters in the least. Heh, he'd get Veronica back for this.

With the girls leaving him in peace, Jared typed one last sentence and he was done. He was satisfied with his handiwork, because this was a profile he sure would have responded to. He then pressed enter posting Fuse's profile:

Title: Short Fuse

Name: Fuse Careen

Sex: F

Age: 23

Species: Husky

Occupation: Other

About Me: Well, I'm a foreign girl. I have deep-blue fur with white patches. I have perky ears, a long, poofy tail (brushing it can get quite a hassle, but people tell me it's pretty so I do it). People tell me that my breasts are moderately sized. I have a sort of laid-back attitude; I like to go with the flow. Although I can get a little aggressive when I am anxious, I would rather cuddle by the fire rather than go party all the time. I don't like to take no for an answer, and I do not smoke unless I am on fire, and I do drink: coffee. I live alone, and am looking for a mate. I have tried the dating scene for a while, but there's just been no one that I can honestly say I love. Then my friend showed me this site, and Im trying my luck here. I like a guy who's generally sweet and sincere. I love romantics. I'd like to meet a guy that is serious in a relationship and loyal.

Jared didn't know about how long it would take for someone to reply, but he knew it would take at least a day or two. So, the trio spent the night in the room, Auldron staying in the bedroom he originally stayed in. Jared, Fuse, and Veronica didn't see much of Auldron for the few days, save for the times they saw him at breakfast.

Jared stirred from his sleep. He had been sleeping really well the last few days, two bodies curled up against him served very well as both a blanket and a pillow. "I got a few replies!" Jared heard Fuse squeal. "What? Oh, so the site had finally got it running?" the site's admins had to go through and review a profile before they would approve it for posting, one wouldn't believe how many people would even abuse a dating site.

And by the look of it, Fuse's profile was posted not more than 8 hours and she had gotten already 7 replies. Jared watched as Fuse thumbed through her replies. Jared saw that Veronica watched eagerly.

After a little while of surfing the site, Fuse finally found one she liked:

Title: Rich Handsome Guy Seeks Equally Fine Female Who Doesn't Believe Everything She Reads...

Name: Zachariah Cornelius, nickname: Fox. Why Fox? I dunno, just sounds cooler than Zachariah

Sex: M

Age: 22

Species: Well, at heart, I am a dragon.

Occupation: Student

About Me: Okay, first off, why my name is Fox when Im a dragon, I have no fricken clue. Seriously. Well, I was raised in a foster home, that whole deal. I am a student, but I have a part time job doing clerical work. I won't go into detail on what I look like because I don't believe that that's what a relationship should be around. So, ladies, you'll have to get to know me, first. I don't care what people think of me, so this leads me to act sorta unorthodox, as I act and say what I feel. I am very comfortable around people, I can be comfortable around anyone, and this leads me to want to more hang around than be out and about (I love to sit at home with a loved one in comfortable clothes and nothing to do but be with each other (and of course I mean in an entirely non-sexual way)). Smoking is not for me and I am a casual drinker if no one is at risk. Yeah, I'm usually the DD (that's designated driver, not my cup size, that would be creepy as hell). I joined this site to meet a girl. I've never really had that much success with women. What I'm looking for in a girl is a good personality, a good head on her shoulders, and a good heart. Other than that, the only preference I have is canines. I loves me that backdoor. Also, equines and whales, sorry, but I just don't have the equipment for you.

Fuse sent Zach a message. Even though Jared had to help Fuse understand some of Zach's unusual humor, Fuse was certain that she liked this Zach character.

Jared continued to watch TV for most of the day, Fuse and Veronica were caught up in their girl talk over Zach. Luckily for Fuse, Zach was online, and able to instant message. Jared was happy for Fuse, but he really missed his time with Veronica. He wanted to be with her, but he couldn't very well leave Fuse alone, and Auldron was nowhere to be had.

Jared was lost in his trance of channel flipping when he heard Fuse's voice. "Where are we, Jared?" she asked.

"What do you mean 'where are we'?"

"I mean, where are we?"

"We are in a room."

Jared heard the clicking of keys. Jared understood now. "Well, Zach tells me that that was funny, but asks really, where are we?" "Oh, sorry. We're in Florida"

"Wow. He is, too."

Jared heard more tapping of keys.

"He says he wasn't raised in Florida either, and he's on vacation"

"Oh, so he's in Florida, too?"

"Yup."

"Says he's staying at Room 206 in the Ron & Rod Inc. Hotel."

"Oh, really...what?"

Jared froze. Charles Ronald and Carlos Rodriguez owned a chain of five-star hotels. Their hotels were top class and Jared knew them well. They were the chain that Jared stayed at whenever he was on Earth. Including now.

Username: Ilikecoffee: Well, it seems we share tastes. I am also staying at the Ron & Rod Hotel.

Username: Foxtrot: Sureeeeee...

Ilikecoffee: No. Seriously. I am.

Foxtrot: Wow. Who'da thunk it?

Ilikecoffee: Weird...

Foxtrot: Well, what room?

Ilikecoffee: 306

Foxtrot: Hello Neighbor.

Ilikecoffee: haha.

Foxtrot: so, wanna do something tomorrow, it's kinda after dinner, so not much we could do now.

Ilikecoffee: actually, tomorrow sounds great. Kinda tired.

Foxtrot: makes one wonder what one's been doing...

Ilikecoffee: stop it.

Foxtrot: I'm sorry. I was kidding.

Ilikecoffee: yeah, I was too, sorry.

Foxtrot: don't be. I know what you mean. I hate how text can't transfer the one most essential part of speech: tone.

Ilikecoffee: yeah.

Foxtrot: So, since you like coffee (I wonder what gave me that idea), I know of a place a block over that serves a great cup of coffee.

Ilikecoffee: Yeah. That one place that had that intriguing overhang thing.

Foxtrot: It seems you know of it...

Ilikecoffee: yeah.

Foxtrot: So, see ya around 12:00?

Ilikecoffee: Wouldn't it be easier to meet in that common room downstairs?

Foxtrot: Well, sorry, no. Dawn doesn't happen until 11:00 for me, and I do believe that the continental breakfast area closes at 10:00. Sorry, I need my beauty sleep.

Ilikecoffee: I'm sure you don't NEED it.

Foxtrot: True, but I see it as good as any other excuse to sleep in. Why should girls be the only one to use it?

Ilikecoffee: True. So, tomorrow at the café.

Foxtrot: Okay. See ya then?

Ilikecoffee: definitely.

Foxtrot: I'll be the
