Teehee. OMG! This is an Inuyasha story with slight Fullmetal Alchemist. None of the characters, though. I have written so many Inuyasha stories! YAY! Seven to be exact! Yipee! Well, here's my seventh Inuyasha fanfic…

Kohaku and the Girl Who Became Famous

Chapter 1

The Demons Surround Us

Kohaku ran from the three-headed demon that he had been fighting earlier before. He saw a cave, and ran straight into it. The demon of course followed him. He kept on running until he saw that it just stopped. A large wall blocked his way from getting through.

He had to face the facts: He had to face this demon…alone.

Kohaku was too caught up in fighting this demon to notice the pair of eyes staring back at him. Kohaku readied his weapon, and waited. The monster never showed, but Kohaku was smart, and kept his weapon in his hands.

He felt a breath of cool air on the back of his neck, and went to turn around, but the demon grabbed him. He screamed in agony as the monster crushed his small figure. The person that was watching him ran out, and screamed, "GET AWAY FROM HIM!"

She clapped her hands together, and touched the monster. The demon instantly turned into dust. The girl ran over to Kohaku, and felt his pulse.

"Still alive. Thank god! Hey…hey…you! Are you alright?"

"Mmm…who are you?" He asked, opening his eyes. He looked at his savior. Her light blue eyes gave off a glimmer while her curly brown hair fell in wisps around her face. She was wearing an old kimono that was stained and burned. She looked almost as though she was twelve years old.

"My name is Akasui, but you can call me Aka. Are you hurt?"

"I don't think so, but I…AAAAAHHH!" He cried as he tried to sit up. She helped him lie back down on the ground.

"Where are you hurt?"

"My…shoulder."

She turned him over so that he was lying on his stomach. She clapped her hands and then grabbed his shoulder. He cried out in pain, but he quieted down after a second or two.

"What's your name?" She asked. He turned his head to look at her.

"K-Kohaku."

"Oh, I like that name. It always reminds me of hope."

Kohaku smiled, and after a few minutes, fell asleep. Aka brushed some hair out of his face, and then picked him up. She walked out of the cave, and walked towards the forest that surrounded the mountain they were standing on. She walked past a tree that bent over sideways. She stopped at where the bend stops, and she opened the door that was there.

Jumping in, she landed far below the surface. She walked into another room that contained a bed, and she placed Kohaku in it. She closed the door as she left. Humming to herself, she decided to make them dinner. She stepped outside, and in an instant, she had some meat and vegetables.

After she had cooked them, she made a stew. Kohaku came out as soon as she had set the table she had created.

"Hello," she said in her cheery voice, "Do you want some stew? I made it myself."

She held out the pot, and he sniffed it. It smelled just like heaven. Well, maybe not just like heaven, but close enough.

"Sure, it smells delicious."

She grabbed two bowls, and some chopsticks. She set them out and poured the stew in the bowls. Kohaku ate graciously and Aka smiled. (A/n: I just noticed this, but Aka is also A.K.A. Weird, isn't it?)

"Where are your parents?" Kohaku asked, and Aka lowered her bowl.

"I don't know," she said, "They left me out here ever since I was a baby. I learned to deal with it, and I like it here."

"Oh."

"Where are your parents?"

"I don't know, either. I can't remember anything before I was freed from Naraku. Although, I may have found my sister."

"What's her name."

"I think it's…Sango…or something like that."

Aka spat out her food. She just stared at him.

"Wait…you mean Sango, the Demon Slayer, is your sister?"

He nodded. She went back to eating her stew. Kohaku joined her in silence.

"What were you doing in that cave?"

"I was running from a demon."

"I know that, but why?"

"Bankotsu sent me there to find a Jewel Shard."

"What's that?"

Kohaku explained what the Shikon No Tama was, and what it was used for. He also explained that his master had sent him in search of it. She listened with wide eyes, and smiled at how he gestured everything.

"So…do you need to go back to your master?"

He nodded.

"If I don't go back, he'll kill me."

"Oh."

Kohaku set his food down, and he talked to Aka about who she was. She practically told him a life story.

"I was born in this forest. My parents didn't want me, so they left me by this tree here. An older boy found me, and took me in. He had no parents either. He taught me how to read and write. His name was Kilik. I lived with him for three years when I figured out that I could perform alchemy. He was killed by a demon when I was seven. I swore to him that I would find a way to bring him back."

Kohaku looked at the ground, and sighed.

"What's wrong, Kohaku?"

"Nothing. I'm fine."

She nodded, but continued to stare at him. She cleaned up their bowls, and put the chopsticks away. Grabbing her coat, she went outside, and Kohaku followed her.

"Where are you going?"

She didn't answer him. She ran into a little village, and turned to go into a large hut. Grabbing a drawing of something, she ran back out to find Kohaku right there. She held out the drawing, and he took it. He looked at it, and his eyes widened.

"This is my sister, and these are all of her friends that she travels with," he said, staring at the artwork. He could see Shippo, Miroku, Kagome, Inuyasha, and…Sango. "Where did you get this?"

"They came by here not too long ago. They just left yesterday. I would've told you earlier, but you were sleeping. I know where they are going, so I could take you to them."

"Please…" was all he said. He wanted to see his sister again, and maybe he would remember something. Aka clapped her hands together, and touched the ground. Instantly meat, vegetables, and supplies appeared. She wrapped them up in a cloth, and started walking.

"So…are you coming or not?" She asked him, and he followed after her. "All we have to do is get through Mt. Yoshiba, and then cross a demon's lair. That's where they said they'd be."

"Ok," he said, picking up the pace so they were walking together. "How long do you think it will take to get there?"

"Oh, about two days, at the most."

They walked in silence for the rest of the day. They stopped when they made it to the base of the mountain. Kohaku started a fire, and Aka cooked the meat that she brought.

As they ate, a voice sounded from above in the mountain.

"Hello, Aka and friend."

REVIEW! Please! This is my first Kohaku fic and I want to know if it is any good. Flames are welcomed with fire-retardant suits!
