Forgotten Time
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, or any other characters used in this fic. I don't even own the wonderful Raizo. OC he may be, he's not my OC, he is the full property of my Ototo...who knows he's awesome. Also I do not own Rev. He was created by another friend.
So a little background, this story is based on a bit of a crossover where the FMAB characters can travel through the well into the fuedal era, and vice versa. Lan Fan has traveled through this well and met Raizo, a Wolf Hanyou who is the student of Lord Sesshomaru. As a side note, though won't be focused on much, Lord Sesshomaru and Riza are mates and married, and at this time, just pregnant. But thats not this story. Through time Raizo and Lan Fan have come to know, and love each other, and are now mates. Rev is a Soldier, not in the Amestrian Army, but for someone else. What you need to know about him is he is fast, strong, and knows how to use a gun. Especially a trank gun.._..A few weeks before, he had given Lan Fan a communicator watch. There is more, that maybe I will eventually write down, but for now, that is enough to help you through this story.
Chapter 1: Don't Corner a Ninja...
"Shit!"
Lan Fan ducked the swing of the large Drachmanian, but wasn't completely able to miss being hit in her automail arm. 'at least it doesnt feel the pain' she continued to roll till she was on her feet again, kunai out and thrown within seconds. Breathing heavily and bleeding from shoulder, leg and head wounds, she knew things weren't looking good.
When she had visited Drachma a month before on behalf of Amestris and Xing, she felt that somthing wasn't quite right. The Czar of Drachma was still upset about the slaughter at Briggs, caused by Kimblee for the Crest of Blood. He had been outraged that Amestris would send a single "yellow wench" as a negotiating agent for a peace treaty.
"Does the high and mighty Furer believe Drachma such a small and defenseless country as to be won over by a /woman/! That he has annihilated us enough to possibly imagine that we would quiver in fear of a single supposed ninja and bow to the whims of him and the short Emperor of Xing! Ha! You jest little girl!"
She had held her composure, at least outwardly, even at the insult to her beloved Emperor.
"No sir, he is merely trying to make right the mistake. You were informed wrongly of the weakness at Briggs, in an attempt to harm Amestris, and they only responded in defense to the attack on their safety. He would like to ensure that such an event never occurs again. Along with my own country of Xing, we would like to create a peace to ensure the safety of those under our care as members of the government and army."
At this time, an adviser came to the Czar an handed him a scroll. After peering over it, he had dismissed Lan, ordering her to guest quarters. The next day he had seemed a little more civil, barely. 'like Sesshomaru-Sensai glaring instead of killing you...' He was aware of the little misunderstanding at Briggs, and would be willing to "shall we say, examine, the documents..I will travel to Amestris and discuss this with the Furer in detail. You are dismissed"
She didn't know if it was her ninja gut feeling from years of training, the chi in the atmosphere being just a bit...off, woman's intuition, or all of the above, but she knew there was more to be revealed, and chaos was likely to be involved.
"just got out of trouble, and here we are heading straight toward more..the life of of Ninja."
Throughout the next couple of weeks, things had happened as usual, she spent what time she could with Raizo, teased Ed, Winry being in Rush Valley for the time being, and avoided the homonculus as best as possible, leaving on little missions when she had to.
Towards the end of the 3rd week, she was informed that she would be escorting the Czar from Briggs to Central. He had his whole bodyguard battalion, and she took at least a little pride in the fact that she performed her duties as well as any 10 Drachmanians , but she kept that to herself. 'I think my ego just reached Raizo proportions' she chuckled.
It was when they had almost reached Central that she started to feel less like an escort, and more like a hostage. She had caught several of the men watching her closely, as if to be sure she didn't make a ninja disappearance as soon as they were in sight of Central. Maybe there was more to the battalion than just bodyguards...
When 20 soldiers came to summon her to the Czars personal carriage, she knew she should be on her guard. Secretly making adjustments to her automail blade and some kunai for easier access, she followed, outwardly calm and indifferent, inwardly on high alert. Halfway to the carriage she felt an intense increase in malevolent chi behind her, and turned in time to catch glimpse of a swinging arm, enough to put her in battle mode. She tossed a kunai through the arm, stopping its projection, and engaged her elbow blade with a flick of her wrist. Drop kicking several of the now attacking escorts, she missed one behind her and took a stab in the shoulder.
"You were supposed to come quietly as a hostage little girly, but looks like we'll have to make you be quiet" the soldier grabbed her automail arm to avoid the blade. Her one arm injured, she grit her teeth and elbowed him through the pain, flipping a leg behind his knee and tripping him off to the side. Sending a kunai after him.
"What is going on?" she figured it was a mute question, but worth a try. Her only response was the others coming at her stronger. 3 rushed her from different sides, one taking the elbow blade in the gut, the other a kick, but the 3rd managed to land a punch to her injured shoulder and slice at her thigh with his saber. Completely outnumbered she grabbed him desperately and using the chi points shown her by Raizo numbed his sword arm and a leg, tossing him towards some incoming soldiers. Flipping backwards she took out 2 more with kunai and 1 with the saber she grabbed, but was still surrounded. "there were a 100 dammit" she muttered. "if I get out of this, Raizo and Rev are gonna kill me for getting hurt again already...Baka I'll get out of this." It was the thought of Rev that reminded her of the watch he gave her. Using her automail blade and some kunai, she dispatched the closest men, pushing the red button, signaling her location and then the blue, managing a single message."Bring Raizo"
A sharp pain in her head followed by blood pulled her back into the fight. That was the last thing the man did, she sent a kunai through his throat. "at this rate I won't last till they get here...Shit!" she dodged the large soldier, but discovered after she threw the kunai, that they had anticipated her. One grabbed her arms twisting them behind her, while another kicked at her legs bringing her to her knees and pressing weight on her wound.
"Aaaah!" as she cried out in pain, she opened her eyes long enough to see the soldier she had just dodged hold his saber up and bring the hilt down.
Intense pain engulfed her senses before everything went black, the last thing she remembered was a voice:
"LAN FAN!"
