When Lok awoke, he was sore as hell. His entire body felt as though he was torn into to two halves then trampled over by Metagolem.

"Glad to see that you are awake." Looking up, Lok saw Cherit sitting happily on his chest. "You had us all worried."

Cherit moved as Lok sat up, careful not to move his aching body more than necessary. "What happened?" Lok asked he didn't remember getting into a fight, well besides that one suit but that wasn't enough to be considered a fight. "I don't remember getting into a fight…" then he looked around the room trying to get his bearings. "And when did we return to the safe-house? I thought we were still in the maze…"

"So the pup's up huh?" Lok turned to see a man, who looked no older than 18 with long, silver hair, amber eyes, dog ears, who was wearing a red outfit that looked Japanese. In his hand he held a cup of hot tea. The man moved so that he was sitting right in front of Lok and handed him the cup. "Here, drink this. This should help with the pain."

Lok took the cup still studying the man before him warily, before studying the mug. The cautiousness made Cherit chuckle. "Perhaps it would have been better if you had introduced yourself, Lad." Cherit said good naturedly.

The man nodded, and looked at Lok. "Sorry 'bout that." He said then extended a hand. "I'm Inuyasha, pleasure to finally meet you Lok."

Lok accepted the hand, and stared at Inuyasha with a confused look. "How do you know my name?" he asked.

"Because we told him." Dante said from the entrance to the kitchen, before walking over to sit next to the confused seeker, who had just swung his legs over the side of the couch. Cherit moving to sit on Inuyasha's shoulders. "How're you feeling, Lok?"

Lok chuckled a little bit, "like Metagolem just trampled over me…" he stopped and corrected himself, "okay, like something ripped my body into two then Metagolem trampling all over me."

"That's to be expected." Inuyasha said. "After what you went through last night…I'm surprised you're up right now."

"Yeah, we could hear you screaming from the kitchen." Turning around Lok saw a young child with fox-like feet and a bushy tail smiling up at him. "I'm glad you're up."

"Who're you?"

"My name's Shippo." Shippo said happily. "Nice to meet ya." Then Shippo turned towards Inuyasha. "Hey Inuyasha, where's Rin?"

"She should be with Sesshomaru." Inuyasha said then sniffed the air for a second, which made Lok curious as to why he was doing it. "Wait she's with Jaken, the pup's probably still asleep." Inuyasha said. "Why don't you leave her alone for a bit, huh kit?"

"Okay." Shippo said than jumped up to sit on the arm of the chair next to Lok.

Lok stared at the group dumbly for a minute. "Wait a second, what do you mean I was screaming?" he asked.

"You don't remember anything?" Dante asked.

"No…I don't even remember leaving the maze." Lok answered.

Dante looked towards Inuyasha. "Is that normal?"

Inuyasha shrugged. "This was my first time seeing it. Sessh would be the better person to ask about it."

"Wait what's going on?" Lok asked.

Dante, Cherit, and Inuyasha shared a look with each other, before looking back towards the younger seeker. Dante was the first to speak. "Lok, do you remember the dart that hit you after you pushed me out of the way?" Dante asked.

"Yeah, but what does that have to do with anything?"

"Well…ah…" Dante scratched the back of his head. "How do I put this?..."

"What, Dante?"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Look pup, thanks to a serum in that dart that got you, you turned into a inu daemon like me and my older brother."

"Way to put it delicately, Inuyasha." Shippo said shaking his head towards his adopted father.

"What? I call them as I see 'em" Inuyasha said.

"What's a daemon?" Lok asked, then there was a loud rumble; which was easily recognized as his stomach growling.

Inuyasha smirked. "We'll explain after we get some food into your stomach, all right pup." He said standing up.

"Don't call me that." Lok said, making Cherit chuckle.

"Whatever you say, pup." Inuyasha said before Shippo jumped onto his dad's shoulders and Cherit swooping over to Lok.

"Come now," the little titan urged. "We need to get you something to eat. I smell Zhalia cooking something good."

"All right… all right…" Lok said as he tried to stand up, but his legs ached like a mother.

"You all right?" Dante asked. Noticing that Lok had a silver tail now.

"Yeah just give me a sec." Lok said then on the second attempt, he managed to get to his feet. After a few seconds, Lok followed the three into the kitchen/dining room, where Lok saw Sophie drinking some tea, then there were two men and a woman also in Japanese clothing. One of them also had Silver hair like Inuyasha. That must be his brother. Lok thought as he sat next to Sophie and Dante at the table.

"Morning!" the other man greeted cheerfully.

The woman smiled at him. "How are you feeling? Did the tea, Inuyasha gave you work?"

Lok nodded, now that he thought about it he didn't ache as much as he did before. "Yeah, thanks." He replied, then noticed Sophie staring at him with a shocked expression. "What is it, Sophie?" Lok asked. He didn't have something on his face did he?

"Wow, that transformation changed you more than I thought." Sophie said.

"Yeah, he looks a bit more like Sesshomaru." Inuyasha said grinning towards the other silver-haired man. "Got the face markings and everything."

"Father had them too." Sesshomaru pointed out calmly to his younger brother, before going back to sipping his tea.

Lok shifted uncomfortably, he had no idea what they were talking about and what did Sophie mean by transformation? Wanting some answers, Lok voiced his questions.

"The Organization had been developing a serum that turns humans into a type of free titan known as a Daemon." Zhalia explained without turning away from the stove. "They were hoping to create more and more titans to arm their forces, and that seemed to be the most convenient way to do it."

"What are Daemons?" Lok asked.

"Daemons are a type of free titans that do not have any sort of amulet attached to them." Sesshomaru explained.

"Oh so it's similar to Cherit." Lok said.

"Not quite. Cherit, at one point in time, had an amulet, but the amulet was destroyed while Cherit was out (with no harm to Cherit) so he became a free titan." Sesshomaru said. "Daemons are born; we breed with other daemons to create new ones. However, even though we do not have any amulet with us at first; we can be forced into an amulet, and when that happens we can never be free from it." Sesshomaru added. "You know of the titan Redcap?"

"Yeah, those things are annoying." Lok said then added, "Not to mention creepy."

"They were once daemons. They belong to the southern portions of Australia, and while they were free they were a peaceful species."

"Then the Organization happened." Lok said in understanding.

Sesshomaru nodded. "Yes. Wanting to arm their growing forces, suits forced Redcaps and various other daemons species into amulets, which is why every suit seems to have the same titan." Sesshomaru said. "After being forced into an amulet and bonding with such cruel people, the redcaps became the vicious, creepy titans you see today."

"A lot of daemons are originally peaceful," Inuyasha said. "Except bonelashers they seem to be born to work for the Organization."

"So what does this have to do with a transformation?" Lok asked.

"Well, the dart that hit you was the same dart that turns humans into daemons," Inuyasha said. "Just as I said in the living room…you're one of us now Lok."

"Wait a second…" Lok said shaking his head. "Are you telling me that I'm now a daemon?" Everyone nodded their heads.

"Want proof?" Inuyasha asked pulling out his Holotome.

Lok sighed. "I need to see it for myself." He said.

Inuyasha nodded as he opened up his holotome. "Holotome scan the room for any daemons."

"Scanning… …" The Holotome beeped. "Inuyasha: Strength-6, Defense-5, size- average, type- Inu Daemon, special abilities- Windscar, iron reaver soul stealer, and blades of blood…" once more the holotome beeped. "Sesshomaru: Strength-7, Defense-7, size-average, type- Inu Daemon, special abilities- poison claw, and venom whip…"

Inuyasha whistled as he looked at his older brother. "Remind me not to piss you off…occasionally."

The holotome beeped. "Shippo: Strength- 4, Defense-3, size-small, type- kitsune daemon, special abilities- fox magic…" Shippo huffed as he heard his stats, he was not that damn weak!

Noticing his kit's reaction, Inuyasha laughed as he ruffled the young fox's hair. "Don't worry about it kit, you're just young. It'll change as you get older." He assured. Shippo nodded, but he still wasn't too thrilled with the stats.

For the last time, the Holotome beeped. "Lok Lambert: Strength-5, Defense-5, size-average, type- Inu Daemon, special abilities-unknown…" with that Inuyasha closed the holotome and looked at his younger brother worriedly (man it was so weird to say that). The boy was looking down at the table with an unreadable expression on his face.

"Pup?" Inuyasha said trying to catch the younger's gaze.

Dante and Sophie both shook the teen. "You all right, Lok?" Sophie asked.

"I can't believe it…" Lok said then looked at his hands and finally noticed that his nails had turned to claws. Zhalia walked over and placed a plate of eggs, toast and sausage in front of him and everyone else.

"Here" She said. "Eat up."

Shaking his head, Lok returned to his usual cheerful self, trying to lighten up the mood a bit, "so anyways" he looked towards the man and woman. "What's your guy's name?" he asked.

The man smiled. "I am the monk Miroku." He introduced bowing his head.

"And I am Sango of the demon slayer village." Sango said.

Lok smiled as they began to talk about random things with the new seekers. They talked about their family, and their titans. Dante and the two inus watched the group interact, with Inuyasha joining the conversation every once and a while. After a moment, Inuyasha looked over to Sesshomaru.

"Do you think we should tell him that he's now our younger brother, Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha asked, Amber orbs gazing towards the alpha of his clan.

"Let him get used to the fact that he's a now a daemon." Sesshomaru replied. Then both of the inus heard something moving outside. "Inuyasha."

Inuyasha nodded and quietly summoned Slither, telling the titan telepathically to scout the area.

Lok also heard it, but assumed that everyone else did as well and went back to the conversation thinking it was just a stray cat or something.

Dante watched Lok as the boy interacted with the new Huntik members. The boy was troubled, that was obvious to tell to the original Huntik team. Dante's brow furrowed; he was going to have to talk to the Lok later.

"Lord Sesshomaru…" Lok looked down to see a little girl in yet another Japanese outfit, she looked around Shippo's age.

Lok smiled. "Hi there, I'm Lok, what's your name?"

"Rin's name is Rin." Rin answered happily, then looked over to Sesshomaru. "Good morning my lord!" the little girl ran over to him.

Zhalia placed a plate at the empty space near the daemon lord, "there you go, kiddo." She said as she grabbed her own plate and sat down at the last of the empty spaces. Then looked around. "Hey, where's the little green dude? And the cat?"

"Kirara is outside in the yard, hunting." Sango replied.

"And Master Jaken is still asleep." Rin said as she ate her food.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Everyone looked at Inuyasha who groaned and opened his holotome; he could guess full well who it was. "Inuyasha here."

"Where the Hell are you?" Yelled a man with blue eyes and long black hair. "Your kit called me yesterday and I heard screaming, are you all right? Are you hurt?"

"Your mate's pretty protective." Sesshomaru commented off-handedly.

Inuyasha nodded. "I'm fine Koga. The screaming you heard was from a foundation operative, who was going through the transformation. As for my location…here are the coordinates." Inuyasha said sending his mate said coordinates. (They've been doing that a lot ne?).

"I'll be right there. So don't move!" Koga ordered. Inuyasha sighed sometimes that mangy wolf was a bit too protective at times, but if he was as demanding as he was now…something must have happened back home.

"I'm not going to go anywhere." Inuyasha promised. And the connection went dead as Koga hung up.

The group stared at Inuyasha who chuckled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head. "Sorry about that…my mate can get pretty protective at times."

"That's your mate?" Lok asked.

Inuyasha nodded. "Yeah."

"But he's a guy."

Inuyasha chuckled again and ruffled the younger daemon's hair. "To us, gender doesn't matter. You'll learn more about that when you reach the age to mate. So don't worry about it now, right now you should be more worried about your training…speaking of which." Inuyasha looked at Sesshomaru. "How are we going to work that out? You've got to return to the western lands here soon."

"Hey, I can take care of myself!" Lok protested.

"Not as a daemon, you can't." Inuyasha said. "I do not doubt your abilities as a seeker, but you are weak as a daemon, and you won't last long on your own without proper training." He turned back to Sesshomaru. "Well brother?"

"I can take him back with me." Sesshomaru said. "The suits will be on his trail in no time."

"But that'll be the first place they'll look." Inuyasha pointed out. "Besides that there are too many powerful daemon there, and for a young pup like him who's never been exposed to our world before he wouldn't last a day."

"I'm right here, you know." Lok said crossing his arms, starting to get annoyed that they're talking about him like he wasn't there.

"Since you've got to return to the western lands," Inuyasha continued, "I can train the pup here. So that way he's away from the suits for a little while, and he can be in a place he's more comfortable in while he trains. What do you say, Sesshomaru?"

"How come you've got to ask his permission?" Lok asked. "Don't I have some sort of say in this?"

"Not with the Alpha of the pack you don't." Inuyasha answered. "I'll explain it more to you later…"

Sesshomaru thought for a moment. True there were more suits here, but they were weak compared to the ones that would go to their world. It would be a good place for the young daemon to train; besides this would be the last place they would think to look. Unless they came to the same conclusion they did…

Inuyasha noticed his brother's hesitation and added, "Besides, I've still got my duties a member of the Foundation to do, and I've got to train, Shippo, Miroku, and Sango as seekers. This would be a good place for them to start."

Sesshomaru looked at Dante, with a look that said, 'you'll keep an eye on them?'. Dante nodded. Sighing Sesshomaru sighed. "Very well, Inuyasha, you may train the pup and your pack here. You'll be on Dante's team."

Inuyasha grinned. "Thanks Sessh."

"However, I want you to check in every new moon." Sesshomaru continued. "Am I understood?"

"Yeah, me and our new little brother will call…" Inuyasha's eyes widened suddenly as he realized what he just said. Oh shit!

"Why did you call me your little brother?" Lok asked, staring at the two. "Is there something you're not telling me?"

Sesshomaru glared at Inuyasha. "Yeah, we were going to wait until you got used to being a daemon…but yeah…" Inuyasha said sheepishly.

"Idiot." Shippo muttered, while Miroku and Sango chuckled.

"From what I gathered yesterday," Sophie said, "the Organization used both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's father's DNA in one of the serums, the serum they used on you…and during the transformation your daemon blood overwhelmed your human. And though you are still blood related to both your mother and Ethan Lambert, you are now also biologically related to them and their father as well." She finished which made the two daemons glare at her.

"Thank you, Sophie." Inuyasha said. "I was not aware that you were a member of our clan. We were hoping to tell him thank you."

"Oh! My apologies." Sophie said sheepishly. "It just sort of came out that's all."

Lok laughed. "Yeah from all of her years of being a book worm, and what have you, it's become a habit to be a know it all." He said jokingly, which made Sophie hit him over the head. "Ow! I was just joking Sophie! Sheesh can't you learn to take a joke?"

The Huntik group laughed at the two, after the laughter was over, Dante looked at Lok. "Are you okay with this, Lok?" Dante asked. Lok nodded.

"Yeah I'm okay with it." he said. "I may not get it now, but eventually I'll begin to understand it…I'll have to anyway since I have no say in the matter so I might as well make the most of it."

"Aye that's the spirit, Lok!" Cherit said happily.

"Oh that reminds me," Dante said looking at the small titan. "Cherit, how exactly do you know, Inuyasha?"

"Well about three or so years ago in this time, but about sixty-three in their world, I wandered into the Daemon world to meet someone there. Unfortunately the person I was to meet had been killed, but had left their titan hidden near their grave, which I found no problem." Cherit said as he sat on an empty space on the table. "As I headed back to a nearby village where another of my acquaintances lived, I saw the villagers throwing stones at a young lad, who was about seven at the time. They called him terrible names and the lad was beaten up pretty badly by the time I reached him when he was far enough away from the village." Cherit looked at the gang. "You can probably already guess who the young lad was." He said looking at Inuyasha.

"I had asked him if he was all right and where his parents were but he never knew his father, and his mother was dead, and had been so for four years. He had no way of defending himself, and I was actually shocked he was able to survive as long as he had. So I helped patch up his wounds and I gave him the titan my friend had left behind; Slither. Luckily the titan bonded with the lad, and he became a seeker. So for about three years I stayed with the lad. Teaching him all I knew about being a seeker. He had much talent, a lot like you, Lok." The Titan beamed at the boy. "Once I felt he knew all I could teach him, I had to return to this world."

"So that's where you disappeared to that week." Dante said. "I was wondering where you ran off to."

Cherit nodded. "Aye."

Inuyasha grinned. "If it wasn't for this little guy right here, I wouldn't have been alive today."

Miroku grinned as he pulled his best friend into a noogie. "It's about time we learned a little bit about your past, Inuyasha." He said good naturedly, before there was a knock on the door. Standing up, and releasing the daemon from the noogie, Miroku walked over to the door and looked outside the window. Smirking to himself, he opened the door and there stood a soaking wet, Koga. When it had started to rain the gang didn't know.

Realizing that it was his mate, Inuyasha rushed over to the wolf and pulled him inside. "You came in the rain?" Inuyasha asked as pulled of his red cloak and covered his mate, before pulling him to the table. "Sit down I'll make some tea."

As the wolf came closer, Lok began to smell the very strong scent of wet dog, and quickly covered his nose. The smell becoming too much. Sesshomaru noticed his little brother's movements and sighed. "Relax pup," he said. "You shall get used to your new sense of smell in due time."

"Yippee." Lok said sarcastically. "Is every scent so strong?"

"Yes, but like I said you'll get used to it." Sesshomaru said before standing up. "Rin, go get Jaken. We're leaving." Rin smiled as she nodded and ran upstairs to get the imp. "Inuyasha," said daemon turned to look at him, "every new moon."

"Every new moon," Inuyasha confirmed. "Have fun in the western lands."

Sesshomaru nodded, before turning his gaze to Lok. "Make sure you train hard." He said. "Where we live, if you are not capable of surviving you don't live very long, it truly is survival of the fittest."

Lok nodded before smiling at his new big brother. "All right, thanks Sesshomaru." the Huntik gang nodded in agreement.

"humph." At that moment the two ran down the stairs, Jaken freaking out like he usually does. Without waiting for the two, Sesshomaru turned and walked out of the door, he needed to make a portal. After the three were gone, Inuyasha walked over to the table with tea in hand.

"Well." He said sitting down. "This is going to be an interesting time, ne?" he said as he placed the mug in front of Koga.

"Yes it is." Dante said, in agreement. Before Koga lifted his head up from its resting place on his arms.

"Bout time you joined the living ya mangy wolf." Inuyasha said taking a seat.

"Ah shut it, mutt." Koga said taking the tea gratefully, then looked up and noticed the Huntik gang. "Who are they?"

"I'm Dante Vale."

"Sophie Casterwill."

"Zhalia Moon."

"Lok Lambert."

"And I'm Cherit."

Inuyasha noticed Koga relax a bit when he sensed no hostility from them. Then he looked to Dante. "You're the foundations best mortal seeker, aren't you?" He asked. "I've heard a great deal about you, from my father, since he comes here a lot."

"Hey even in the daemon world, you're a celebrity, Dante." Lok joked, making Zhalia shake her head.

"Whatever, I'm going to go." She said as she stood up and left, having enough excitement for a little while.

"Later, Zhalia." Sophie and Lok said at the same time.

After Koga was done with the tea, he brought the mug over to the sink and placed it in (after a little guidance from Inuyasha, and Sophie). Sitting back down, Koga looked over at Lok. "So you're the operative huh?" he said then looked at Inuyasha. "He's a bit young…I would have thought the Organization would go for someone older."

Inuyasha whacked Koga over the back of the head. "Be nice to my little brother." He said.

"Little brother?" Koga asked. "I thought you only had one brother, and he just walked out the door."

"I'll explain it later." Inuyasha said shaking his head, then looked at Dante. "All right, Dante, you're the Alpha for this team…what's next?" the group looked at Dante.

"We need to get back to Venice." Dante said. "Then try and find a way to make you guys look like you belong here."

The gang nodded in agreement, as Shippo climbed into his other adopted father's arms. Having missed the wolf while he was gone. Then all of a sudden, Inuyasha glowed red as Slither returned to his amulet.

"Well if that's the game plan, then we'd better make it quick." Inuyasha said as he stood up his amber eyes aimed at the door. "Cause we've got company."
