Okay so I finally updated my fic, sorry that it took so long, but I just got over a serious case of writers block. So here you go, chapter 2.

Chapter 2: Unexpected Discovery

"So ye just found them in the forest?" Kaede asked.

"Yes," Kagome replied.

"That one, Sana she doesn't have a scent," Shippo informed them. "Everyone has a scent, right?"

"Not everyone," Miroku replied. "Shapeshifters in their true form, have no scent, they cannot be tracked."

"Sana's a shapeshifter?" Sango asked.

"Ye want to know her name?" Kaede offered.

"You know her?" Inuyasha asked.

"She came to our village when I was in my early twenties, she helped us with some demons," Kaede explained. "She used her shapeshifting to an advantage, the demon couldn't tell when she would attack next, or in what form. Another thing is, she is the only shapeshifter left. Naraku mass murdered the clan of them two years ago. At that time, she went into hiding, we never saw her again."

"What's her name?" Kagome insisted.

"Yeah, what IS my name?" an irritated female voice snapped.

"You don't know your own name?" Shippo asked.

"No, an old woman named Yubaba (Forgive my spelling!) took my name when I was given a job," Sana explained.

"You're not serious!" Sango exclaimed.

Chihiro was listening to the conversation, Sana had left this place, and worked for Yubaba for two years, replacing Haku as Yubaba's assistant. It was confusing, and she knew that if Sana could discover her name, Yubaba would not be able to control her anymore, and she would regain her memories.

"Same here," Haku murmured. He was currently leaning against Chihiro's shoulder, because he couldn't support himself.

"So this Yubaba takes your name and gives you a new one, and then you forget who you are?" Sango asked.

"Yeah, that about sums it up," Chihiro replied. "But if you remember your name, then you are free."

"I see," Kaede said. "Well I'll continue then, shapeshifter females were often strong mikos, the men were powerful warriors. An interesting combination. Anyways, when Sana here came to our village, she gave her name as Kaorin."

A/N: Well thank you Myukiori! You won the name Sana contest. I like the name Kaorin, it was cool. You can come up with cool names! Enjoy!
