I know I must sound like a broken record saying sorry for taking so long and I'll upload more shortly but hey Chapter 18 is finally here so without further wait let's get the disclaimer out of the way so we can get on with the story. Disclaimer I do not own any of the Inuyasha plots or characters but I do own my own plot twists and characters, my OC's are; Mira. Enjoy

Chapter 18: The Secret Clan

Koga's view:

I tried to see what was down there but it was too dark "Kagome!" I yelled out "Koga that's not going to help" Miroku said I looked back at him "Thanks for the obvious monk so tell me how to get Kagome and the others out then?" I snapped. "Koga calm down, I'm worried too, my little brother is down there with Kagome and Mira but we have to think, we have no idea what's down there" Sango says "Do you think a demon has them?" Shippo asked as his eyes filled with tears "Shippo you got here and just in time, we know they're here and will get them back no matter if we have to go through a whole tribe of demons to do it" I said. Inuyasha scoffed I frowned and crossed my arms across my chest "You got something to say mutt?" I said refraining from growling "They just escaped Naraku probably with the help of Kohaku who knows but they're down there and that was definitely the sound of things…" Inuyasha started "People or demons" Miroku intervened. "Who the hell cares! My point is the kid needs to know the real deal they are stuck down there, Kagome is injured and they have nothing to protect themselves with, whatever is down there could be doing hell knows what with them and your gonna feed the kid lies that everything could be ok?" Inuyasha snapped I frowned.

"Mutt you keep your negative thoughts to yourself but this kid, Shippo is just that he's still a kid caught up in a fierce battle against Naraku, he out of all of us deserves a little hope, if you're not gonna help then get the hell outta here" I growled I looked at Ginta and Hakkaku "Shippo go sit with Ginta and Hakkaku, you two keep an eye on him" I said. They gave nods and Shippo ran over to them I looked at Sango and Miroku "So what do you two suggest then? Is there anything we can do we've tried quite a few things already" I said "Well Mira did say she found something yes?" Miroku said "Yeah she found some sort of passageway out, do you think maybe there's another way in?" I asked. "Possibly but that makes me think maybe this way was a cell or a way to entrap unwanted visitors or capture people they wanted" Miroku said "So where do we started looking then?" Inuyasha asked "Hard to say I thought we were getting somewhere but I did have a thought, if this really is to capture people then why not leave and come back perhaps we may fall victim too" Miruko said "We'd be able to find them a lot quicker I say we try it" Sango said.

Mira's view:

Oh dear mercy my head is throbbing what the hell happened to me? Oh no Kagome, Kohaku I snapped my eyes open as I went to move but I couldn't I was pinned down to some sort of table "What on earth….?" I muttered. "The wolf demon is awake send word to the boss and get a healer down here" a male's voice rung out "Hey what's the meaning of this?! Where's my friends? If you've done anything to them I'll…" I started to say "You'll what?" the man said as he came into view. I stared at him in awe noticing the purple star cross diamond marking on his forehead he had dark brown short spiked up hair and bright green eyes "You're a… You're a…" I said "Indeed I am enough chatter though you have a charm on you that needs breaking sleep and try to relax" he said and waved his hand over my eyes I closed my eyes and fell back asleep.

(Sorry I just had to tease there you'll find out in a bit hold your panties on)

Sango's view:

We stayed away from the area for a good three hours to make sure they well whatever they were had gone, we walked back hoping the ground would be back to normal and allow us to fall through it just as Kohaku, Kagome and Mira did. "Sango at least Kohaku is with them, you are close to have your brother back" Miroku said "As I did before Naraku stole him back" I said sadly remembering the time I was so close to have my brother back and it was all a trap just to kill Kagome and get the shards she had. "Kohaku looked normal this time" Shippo said "He didn't seem controlled?" Miroku asked Shippo shook his head "Nope he seemed normal well I'm not sure what he was like but he did seem to care about what happened to Kagome and Mira, you heard him in the cave right?" Shippo asked I gave a nod. "Kohaku still needs to get rid of whatever control Naraku has on him and he also wants Kohaku's shard" Sango said "He wants my shards too" Koga said "Kohaku is dead Naraku brought him to life with the shard he has, once removed he will return to being dead sadly" Miroku said "I'm sorry, I'm sure perhaps Kagome can figure something out" Koga said.

Kohaku's view:

I woke up in pain "Urgh What?" I said "Hush you wouldn't want to move kid, I'm trying to figure what is the best way to remove this shard once I have the potion ready" a man's voice said I opened my eyes to see I was pinned to a wall standing up right. "What are you doing? What potion?" I questioned "This shard is the only thing keeping you alive correct?" the man asked "Yes" I replied in awe "Then what in heaven's name do you think the potion is for boy?" the man asked with agitation in his voice. "You're helping me?" I asked "Yes it is what we do, though most don't give a flying fox tail about us…" the man snapped "A flying fox tail? I'm sorry I don't understand" I said "It's an expression boy that was a popular saying in my day when I was a boy, now hush and let me concentrate" the man said. "Sorry but just one more question if I could" I said "Very well what is it?" he asked "My friends, Kagome a human priestess and Mira a wolf demon do you know where they are or if they're ok?" I asked "Both are fine and being treated now go back to sleep and let me concentrate boy" the man said, I did as he asked.

(Not just yet you'll find out near the end)

Inuyasha's view:

We were almost there and I had been thinking about how much of an idiot I have been since Mira had gone missing I started more arguments and fights then usual and I made Shippo upset, ever since Mira has come in to my life I've been different. She has changed me somehow in big and small ways, for some reason it scares me to think that I may have feelings for a demon, a wolf demon "Look the gro" Shippo started to yell I covered his mouth "Shh kid don't want those things to know we're back" I said. Shippo smiled "Yeah you're right we'll go in like ninjas" Shippo said and ran over to the two wolf demons that were dawdling behind talking as usual "Come on guys we've got to be ninjas and rescue Kagome sneakily" Shippo said the guys played along and went with him ahead to the area. "What changed your attitude?" Koga asked I could still tell he was pissed off but he had a right to be "I'm sorry I guess I've been a little on edge ever since Kagura took…" I started "Kagome" Koga said frowning "Actually no, I was going to say Mira" I said Koga looked at me in awe as did Sango "I knew it!" Miroku exclaimed in triumph.

Kagome's view:

I felt a stabbing pain in my ankle "Ah…" I cried out in pain I felt someone hold my hand "Koga?" I said as I kept my eyes clenched shut "No, I'm Haruto I'm here to talk to you and comfort you to take your mind off the pain" a man's voice said I tried to move but felt strapped down. "Why am I restrained? Where's my friends? Are they ok?" I asked as I slowly opened my eyes he chuckled "So many questions I guess it's to be expected from a human" a woman's voice said the man had auburn scruffy hair and violet eyes he also had a purple like star diamond on his forehead. Haruto was at my side sitting in a chair holding my hand, the woman was sitting on chair down by my feet treating my ankle though it looked and felt like she treated my other minor wounds before my ankle, she also has a purple star like diamond marking on her forehead. Though she had short blond hair that was more part on her left side and had light hazel eyes with hints of gold speckles in them "Why the markings? Are you two siblings?" I asked they both laughed "Heavens no, I can barely stand this joker, I'm Chiyo by the way" the woman said.

"I'm not just any joker but the joker" Haruto said and flashed a devilish smirk "That didn't take you long to start flirting, what's your name dear?" Chiyo asked "Kagome" I said "Well then Kagome I need you to keep talking ask questions whatever you need to do to keep your mind off what I'm doing because it will hurt, I'm going to mend the fracture you have" Chiyo said. Fracture? Oh great "Oh and hold still" Chiyo said "So Kagome are you single?" Haruto asked "Koga is my intended" I said "Oh that's the name you said earlier must be some guy if you call his name in your sleep" Haruto said just then pain started and I held onto Haruto's hand tight. "Tight grip you have there… So tell us about Koga" Haruto said urgh why me of people to have this happen to, why me? "Koga's a wolf demon and the leader of the eastern wolf demon tribe" I said trying to push past the pain "Demon and a leader not many humans go for demons especially wolf demons and to have the leader as your mate you really must be something special" Haruto said.

"Can you tell me where my friends are and if they're ok now?" I asked "Sure the wolf demon woman is getting that horrid charm taken off her and being treated in case there is any Miasma in her, and the teenage human boy is being checked over for Miasma and they're looking in to a way he can live without the jewel shard" Haruto said. I sighed in relief "Wait how'd you know what's wrong with them? Who are you people?" I asked "Dear we have been around longer than any race and you just happened to stumble upon us we'll have scouts fetch your mate and friends once you all have been treated" Chiyo said. "That's not really the answer I was hoping for" I said as I winced in pain "Ok all done" Chiyo said as I felt here wrap my ankle up "You'll rest until I say you can put pressure on it until then call us if you need us" Chiyo said "Wait please tell me who you guys are or least where I am" I said. "But first could you let go of my hand, not that I mind but I'd rather keep my hand, I may need it" Haruto said I looked at my hand clutching his, his hand was going red "Oh I'm so sorry" I said as I released his hand from my grasp "All good, you do have a really firm grip though…" Haruto said.

"We are a part of a race that was either hated, feared or loved, most came after us for power or to use us our leader had enough and we came here our underground heaven, though for some time we have been hunted by Naraku and he has been trying desperately to catch one of us and obtain our power" Chiyo said "To cut to the chase beautiful we are Shape-Shifters and we can run extremely fast, super strength you name it we have it" Haruto said. "Haruto really?" Chiyo said "What you took too long" Haruto said "I heard of Naraku using others for power but I never imagined that such a thing as a shape-shifter could exist, my friends and I won't tell a soul" I said. "We've kept an eye on what Naraku has done to everyone but we don't know names or the relationships they have, we'll go inform the leader to get your mate and other friends here you rest now and call if you need anything" Chiyo said "I will, thank you" I said well that was strange and so unusual. At least I'll get to see Koga soon and now that Kohaku and Mira are getting help things are starting to look up for once, I just hope it stays that way but still that cave being trapped there was unusual I wonder why they didn't let Koga, Shippo or anyone else come down but if Naraku's after them blowing their cover isn't wise.
