Hi!! Hello, this is me with a new fic, now all of you that are readin Life Turning Events, dont worry, that fic will see an end, I wont abandon it, since i do hate authors that leave fics hanging, so I wont do that to you. Now this fic is the product of a plot bunny that attacked me and wouldnt leave me alone, so it developed into this, which will be along fic.

Now an explanation, this will be an FMA/Inuyasha/YuYu Hakusho crossover but not quite.

it will be a FMA/INuyasha crossover, but i will burrow Youko Kurama from Yu Yu for this one, its not quite a crossover because all this happens 500 years before YuYu even starts, but could say that it is AU because in my fic Yuoko works alone, Kurone doesnt exist.

Now there is a logical explanation for the crossover i didnt just toss them together just because. the setting in FMA is the last chap of the anime and no shambala happens. In Inuyasha it is 4 years after the anime, so i do not refer to especific chapters of the anime at all. You could say it will be a bit of an AU.

Now anyother questions you can ask me, now enjoy this wonderful long chap, 4500 words!! I did say i was workind on writing longer chaps. :D and well I proof read it myself, i do not have a beta, so anyone interested just contact me. ^_^

Disclaimer: DONT OWN, except original characters that will appear later on, dont steal them! I will try and put the disclaimer in every chapter, but if i dont, this one applies to all the fic. I do NOT OWN any of the 3 animes written about in this fic.

Read and Enjoy!

He was gone. His little brother was gone, he couldn't believe it! How could Al do that! Sacrifice himself for him! The sinner! The one that had put him in that armor!

Ed was in a daze, there was no Philosopher's stone but he knew how to get his brother back. After he told Rose what he was going to do and pointing her to the closest exit out of there, he set to work.

Hours later Ed was finally done; he had used his blood to draw the array, along with the ones on his body to make sure the Gate wouldn't be able to cheat on him. He stood there, sweaty, with a half undone braid, shirtless and barefooted in the center of the array.

He took a deep breath and clapped, his last thought before light completely engulfed him, was 'Forgive me Al, I love you, don't forget'

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------6 months prior in Earth at the Feudal Era-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome jumped away from the oncoming tentacle, and then proceeded to fire a few energy blasts at it, to purify it.

The group had found Naraku's hideout and for a moment they had thought that the final battle was finally here, but unfortunately he managed to escape just as they got there, leaving behind a horde of demons along with three of his puppets.

They had been fighting for hours, Inuyasha had managed to deal with all the demons, while Sango, Miroku, Shippo and her dealt with the puppets, managing to kill one. Now Shippo and she were dealing with one of the two remaining puppets, while the others fought with the other one.

As Kagome dodged another tentacle she heard a crash and saw Sango lying against a tree, but she had provided the distraction necessary as in that moment Inuyasha destroyed the puppet with a well placed Wind Scar obliterating the wooden puppet.

As Inuyasha and the others turned to where Shippo and she were dealing with the last puppet, they all heard Shippo scream "KAGOME WATCH OUT!!"

Kagome was startled and she immediately noticed out of the corner of her eye, the tentacle that was approaching her, but it was too late, and so all of them saw Kagome be impaled on her right shoulder and chest by a very large tentacle.

The sight and her scream would give them nightmares for a very long time.

Inuyasha shook out of his frozen stand and jumped into action, the others following as well. And minutes later as the puppet vanished into the air Inuyasha was already catching an unconscious Kagome and heading towards Kaede's village, which was only a few miles away; leaving the others to follow him.

Inuyasha knew that here in this time there was nothing that could be done to save her, but in her time, there was enough technology, he just had to get there faster. Putting up a burst of speed, Inuyasha, never before in his entire life, wished more than ever, that he was a full demon, if only to go faster.

When Ed regained consciousness again he instantly knew where he was, as the object of most of his nightmares was standing in front of him: The Gate.

Ed extended his arms and said to it "Give me my brother back! Give him back, his body, soul and memories, give him back complete and in exchange, you have me"

For a moment everything was silent but then the Gate started to open, thousands of eyes and arms were facing him and yet none came to claim him as he expected.

"Young Elric" said a voice, it was a grave booming voice; it sounded like it came from all over the place. Ed was shocked, "You are a sentient being?!" he stammered.

"Of course I am" it said, "but I never communicate with humans, this is the first time I do so"

"Why!" inquired Ed.

"Because I find myself in a dilemma and you are the most powerful alchemist ever, since not even your father has seen me three times in his long life and yet are only 16 and have encountered me many times. Besides, you are giving up your life in exchange of your brother, which gives me the liberty of using your life as I please and at this moment I have a need for it" it explained.

"What makes you think I would help you? You can't deny me my decision, you are forced by law to give me my brother back if I give my life, you can't change the demands, as we both know that my exchange is fair, a life for a life, a body for a body, a soul for a soul and my memories for his memories"

"So you would prefer death over life?" it asked

"I would never help you, after everything you have done, how do I know that this thing you are asking me to do is not a danger for my world or any other world for that matter?"

"Because it is my job to preserve the balance of all worlds, and if you do not help me, a world will crumble, and the balance will be broken, leading to the destruction of all worlds eventually, so in a way your brother would still be in danger, along with everything you held dear"

Ed was pissed; the Gate knew that he would never endanger his brother if he could do something about it. But, he would NOT go down without a fight.

"So, you just said yourself that it was going to be a long process, after all first comes the destruction of that world, and THEN, the others, whose to say that my worlds won't be the last one to be destroyed, by that time Al would have already lived his life and died of old age" Ed settled back and crossed his arms, glaring smugly at the Gate, "if you want my help you're going to have to offer me more"

There was an absolute silence, even the beings inside the Gate were quite, apparently no one had defied the Gate ever, it unnerved Ed, but he would not stand down, and since the Gate apparently didn't want to admit defeat Ed was going to make it easier by stating his terms right now.

"I will help you, only and only if you grant me the following terms: they are very simple actually, I want you to give me my brother back, but knowing you, this quest or whatever will be dangerous so he won't come with me, but you will give him back to my world, completely, body, soul and memories. And I also want 3 wishes if you want to call them like that, just like a Philosopher's stone that can get you what you want without the exchange. Well, at the end of this quest I want you to grant me 3 wishes, without any equivalent exchange, we both know that you, corrupt being that you are, have no problem in granting petitions like that" Ed swore he heard a growl when he said that but it didn't stop him, "so what do you think Gate? Are you willing do make this deal with me or are you letting all worlds fall apart, after all you just said it yourself, there is no one better at this job than me or anyone else available for that matter" he smugly finished.

There was another absolute silence after this, then it said, in an obviously angry voice "3 petitions only"

"Yes, 3 non-equivalent exchange necessary, petitions, it could be anything you can't put limits on what I ask you, after all a Philosopher's Stone has not limits either and my brother, don't forget, he is the most important one"

"Done. Your brother will be delivered safe and sound to your mechanic in Risembool and you will stay in this realm where time is frozen, to be informed of your job and to be trained for it" it said, "you are a devious son of a bitch, I knew there was a reason I hadn't killed you before"

"Yeah well, you made me like that, but lets move on" said Ed, "so tell me about this whatever I have to do, you haven't told me anything about it"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Time Skip---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To Ed, it felt like months had passed as he trained in the realm where the Gate was located, but he knew that in this realm no time passed at all, so when he was ready for the quest and was sent to Earth as it was the name of that world, only seconds after the activation of the array in that underground city would have passed.

During this time Ed was first informed about his quest and the people involved in it, and he had quickly deduced that he was substituting for the time traveler miko. While he knew that he was chosen because he was the best and because the Gate had no other candidate, he was very curious as to why all this had happened, after all the Gate was capable of seeing the future as he had learned when he first encountered it, after all he had also gained some of the knowledge of the future of another world, that now he knew was this one, called Earth. So why had he not known this would happen and be more prepared for it? He had decided to ask the Gate and the conversation had been very revealing.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Flashback----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Gate, why did all this happen? After all you are capable of seeing the future, how is it that you didn't know this would happen?" Inquired Ed after the Gate had explained to him his role in the quest.

A rather awful sounding chuckle came from the Gate; it made a chill go down Ed's back, he really hoped not to hear it again. "You are very smart, you keep surprising me everyday, maybe keeping you alive was a bad idea; someone with so much knowledge about me is dangerous"

This caused a growl to come from Ed, but before he could say anything the Gate launched itself into the explanation.

"You see, I am the ultimate entity in all worlds, superior to all other gods, but that does not mean that I lack flaws…"

"You mean there are other gods?!!" exclaimed Ed

"Yes, now silence! That is not the question" continued the Gate, "while I am the ultimate entity, that is only because I control the gateways between all worlds, because I control the flow of time and because I posses the knowledge and the future of all worlds, but every worlds has its own set of Gods, so I don't control everything"

"But you control the life and death flow too, don't you?" said Ed

"Yes and No, I am the supreme entity, but I also am a god in your world, that is why I have more power in your world, in it I control the life and death cycle and the alchemy"

"So, to conclude the explanation, I don't control what happens in all worlds I don't even have absolute control in my own world, because nothing is absolute like I already explained, and well you are living proof of that" at that Ed smirked slightly, " so while I see the future it is not always what it will happen; now usually when certain events are going against the set line, I usually see the signs long before it happens, but in this case it was sudden as you saw in what I showed you, and so I found myself without a backup plan as you humans say, and well you arrived at the right time and so here you we are"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------End Flashback-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And so Ed knew why he had been chosen. Now after being informed about that, he was educated in the way of that world, at its society, both human and demonic. It was after being informed of all that was necessary and more, that the Gate sprung another surprise on him, he remembered clearly, after all it had been only a few hours ago.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Flashback--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Now that you have been informed of all, and know what you have to do; it is time for me to give you the abilities and powers you need to carry out your job"

Ed had thought it merely referred to being given the ability the girl had, after all that was the point of him replacing her. But, he was shocked when he heard what the Gate said next.

"mmm….. A fox, yes!.. You were always quite like a fox, clever, smart, mischievous and devious. I think it will suit you well, what do you think my little fox demon?"

"Wha….what? What ?" he stammered, "..fox demon? What the he….?"

"Well, I can't send you as a human, you forget that I do not know what will happen, this is uncharted territory, and I can't afford to send you in weak. You will be dealing with demons, not humans; these are not chimeras, nor crazy alchemists. Think of them as homunculus, just a lot more mortal, but equally powerful in their abilities." Ed was speechless, he, a demon? 'What will Al say?' he thought, but was interrupted by the Gate, "That is the reason why I am turning you into a demon, a fox demon, a golden fox demon, now as for your element, mm fire, no you don't have the determined stoicism required to control such an element, even if you do behave like it."

Ed didn't know whether to feel insulted or baffled, even if he agreed with it, he didn't think fire was for him. The Gate's words brought him out of his thoughts, " a Wind, no I can't picture you controlling wind, neither earth, they seem to calm and out of control respectively, for you. Well, that leaves Water, yes! Perfect, Water is your element, requires control but not as much as fire, and is just perfectly balanced in its violence and in its calm"

Ed hated to admit that he agreed, and besides he always was good with water. "So a Golden, Water fox demon it is" it stated with finality.

Everything was quite for a moment, Ed was about to ask the Gate how the turning would be like, when, excruciating pain shot up his spine and into his entire body, he fell down to his knees; it felt like his insides were being ripped apart.

"I forgot to tell you, that it would be quite a painful procedure" were the last words he heard, before darkness claimed him.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------End Flashback------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And that led him to this situation, he had woken up, and after getting up from the floor and stretching out his sore muscles, he noticed that a couple feet to his right, stood a full body length mirror, and Ed with a little bit of trepidation not knowing and dying to know and yet not wanting to, approached it. He was going to see the new him.

What he saw shocked him, there in front of him stood a beautiful androgynous being, definitely not like Envy. He was about 5'6" 'couldn't make me taller, stupid sadistic Gate' was his grumbling thought. He was very slender, but well built, broad shoulders, sharp collarbones, and small but well muscled compact chest; he noticed he had a tattoo between his collarbones, in the hollow of his throat; it was his father's symbol, the one he carried at the back of his jacket, The Flamel symbol. Moving on the inspection; his arms were long but slender, almost femininely so, and with very thin and delicate wrist, but Ed could feel the hidden strength in them. 'This gives me the advantage, looking like this they will underestimate me, giving me the upper hand. Let's see what else this body hides' he thought.

Moving unto his abdomen, he had a perfect six pack, something he had always had thought Ed smugly. He also had a small waist and thin hips, with just little bit of a feminine curve; something he also had before, he thought with a scowl. His legs, long slender hairless legs, very much like those of a woman but still very well muscled, showing their strength in a delicate way, ending in thin ankles and tiny feet. He had always had tiny feet, but his boots made them look bigger, another reason he liked them.

After looking at his body, he moved to observe his face, he had lost all remaining baby fat, not that it had been much, and now there was the face of a young man. High cheekbones, angular jaw ending in a soft curve. His eyes instead of big and round like they were, they had curved down delicately, like those of a fox. They still were golden eyes, but now the pupils were slitted like a fox's; he had light silver eye shadow and thin black eyeliner on his eyes, he rubbed them and discovered that they weren't make up like he had thought, but they were a part of his body. That didn't please him much, even if he had to admit that it looked good on him.

His hair, he noticed, had gotten longer, instead of going to his butt, now it reached the back of his knees, it was loosed and wavy, falling on him like a curtain. But that was not the most surprising thing, Ed noticed, as he looked at his face again, and realized that he didn't have human ears!, and so he observed his face, and there, on top of his head, a pair of golden fox ears. They were soft to the touch and twitched at every sound, and that made Ed aware of his enhanced senses, sharper hearing, a lot sharper, along with enhanced vision, that he would later learn extended to a hell of a night vision. But that was not it, as Ed explored his ears, he also came to feel a strange sensation on the back of his legs, at first he thought it was his hair, but seeing as it reached to his knees and the brushing sensation reached all the way to the back of his ankles, made Ed aware of another surprise: his tails, yes plural, as Ed found out he had not one but two tails.

As Ed explored these new findings, he came to the conclusion that he had two new weak spots, his ears and his tails, as he found out that they were quite sensitive and he would very much like them to be rubbed a lot.

It was then, that he realized that he was completely naked, and so using the mirror as a cover, not that it was of any use since he had stood there for quite a while, he demanded the Gate some clothes.

"Give me some clothes damn it! This isn't funny Gate!"

Giving another chill causing chuckle, the Gate made a set clothes appear on the floor next to the mirror.

Ed went to get them and see what the Gate had given him, what he saw infuriated him. Holding the offending items in front of himself, Ed proceeded to shout at the Gate, "What the heck??!! I'm not a girl damn it!! if this is some sort of sick joke I don't appreciate it! Now get me some decent clothes!!" he demanded.

"I don't joke Elric" it boomed, "The clothes I have given you were chosen because they will be useful to you in that world, now put them on, it is true time is frozen here, but I do not wish to deal with you anymore that I have to"

Ed was taken aback by what he said for a moment he had forgotten where he was and whom he was dealing with, but now that he remembered he knew he didn't want to be here anymore than necessary either, so he obeyed and proceeded to get dressed.

After getting dressed and embarrassingly enough having to get help from the Gate, Ed stood fully dressed in the mirror.

He was wearing a short, long V necked, long sleeved kimono that reached his knees; it was slitted on the sides, reaching all the way up his hips. The Kimono was black, with silver lining and a red eyed, silver snake went around the kimono, starting at the bottom of the V-neck the serpent had its jaws open as if it wanted to reach the hollow of his throat and eat the tattoo there. The rest of the snake went around Ed, the tail ending in a circle just where the fabric covered his belly bottom. He had a matching thin silver obi around his waist and black bandages wrapped around his wrists and fingers, for protection and they were black to hide the blood.

Underneath he was wearing tight black leggings and wrapped around his hips and covering his tights was a black elastic material, it looked a bit like Envy's skort except that instead a shorts, there were leggings underneath; for flexibility The Gate had said, and Ed hated to admit it but it was right, it gave him a lot more flexibility than his leather pants. The 'skirt', reached to about 5 inches above his knees. He had on black steel toed platform boots, just like the ones he always wore, except these ones went all the way to his mid calf and if you observed carefully they had many pockets to keep knives in.

Of the whole outfit the boots were what Ed liked that most. His hair was braided and it reached the curve of his buttocks. And as for accessories, and yes the Gate had given him accessories but they were more than that, they were reminders and at the same time they were punishment. The Gate loved to torture him; it was not a loving being after all.

On his left wrist he wore a thin silver bracelet and dangling all around it were silver circles, but not ordinary circles, it was the blood seal symbol he had used to bind his brother's soul to the armor. It was an effective way of punishing Ed, as it was the only thing he had of remembering his brother; Ed would cherish and at the same time hate it for what it represented: his sin.

On his other wrist there was an exact replica of the bracelet, except that this circle was the transmutation circle he and his brother had designed to bring their mother back, it was another way to get Ed to commit self-mental mutilation.

On his neck, there was a black thick leather chocker with a golden stone in the center, the exact shade of his eyes. Ed stood there for a moment trying to figure out the meaning behind the chocker, when he remembered a comment from the Colonel from long ago, 'Collared like a dog, FullMetal we all are, you are not the only one that hates it' and Ed understood its meaning, but while the Gate had hoped for this to be another torture device this one actually made Ed mentally smile, he was careful with his expression as he knew that the Gate would take it away if he showed he was happy with this accessory. Ed liked the chocker because to him it wasn't an insult, it was the representation of a goal and a good goal, and because being collared to Colonel Roy Mustang was one of the best things that ever happened to him, because he was with the good people, and for that he would let himself be collared by that man, a thousand times, if the goal was the same. 'For the good of the people, bastard, I hope you accomplished your goal, maybe I'll get a chance to see it for myself, I just have to survive all this' thought Ed, before his eyes came to rest on the last item on his body. It was a long silver chain, but what caught Ed's attention was the stone, it was a red, blood red stone and immediately he was disgusted by it. He moved to remove it but was stopped by the Gate.

"Don't, you will need it, I just told you, you will be dealing with non-humans, demons, and you will need the power"

"But alchemy doesn't exist in that world, how will I be able to use it?" interrupted a mad Ed.

"Yes that is true and an ordinary alchemist wouldn't be able to use alchemy in that world, but you have alchemy in your blood, the reason you don't use an array is because you have alchemy in your blood; that is why your body is an array."

Ed looked surprised and yet disgusted, "So my encounters with you, is what caused all of this, it's like a I have a bit of you in me" it said

"You could say that, but still since you will be using a force that doesn't exist there, your alchemy will take the double amount of energy to work, and yet it will still be weaker than your average alchemy, that is why you need the stone, now I'm not saying alchemy is what you will used to fight, after all I have given you other abilities for a reason, but it will be your back up plan, is the expression you humans use I believe" finished the Gate

There was absolute silence for a few minutes as Ed absorbed the new information before he was snapped out of his thoughts by the Gate yet again.

"Now let's start your training"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Time Skip-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It had been about 6 months since he was turned, or so Ed believed after all, time was frozen in there and it was difficult for Ed to keep track of it. But now finally it was over, his training was over and he was about to be sent to Earth to do his task.

The Gate had taught Ed everything about Water manipulation, and it had also taught him how to fight with a sword, which while Ed knew how to, he hadn't been schooled in an specific style, which was good because it made him unpredictable, but it also meant that he wasn't exactly balanced in his sword fights. So the Gate had taught him a specific style to help him balance his abilities. Besides that, it had also taught him how to fight with twin short swords, the Kodachis, and it had also taught him knife play, not that Ed needed to learn as he had been taught by the best: Hughes.

And finally for long distance weapons, he had been taught how to use a bow, both types, long and short, and also a whip. It was an energy whip much like Sesshoumaru's but instead of it being of demonic energy, it was of miko energy, and he could make it out of water too, but it wasn't as effective.

As for hand to hand, the Gate hadn't taught him anything as Ed was already the best of the best and the only ones that could beat him were his teacher and Al. As for how the Gate being well, a Gate taught him, well it used his little beings, the black beings it kept inside, it gave to some of them, full solid bodies temporarily to train Ed.

Now after all the hardship, and mental torture Ed had suffered for what felt like an eternity he was finally leaving this place, not to home but to a place that hopefully would lead him home. He was ready to kick some ass.

So he stood there, in his new outfit, the sword strapped to his back going diagonally from his right shoulder to his left hip, as he was left handed. The quiver along with a long bow was strapped in his left shoulder as he learned that he was better with the bow with his right hand. And the Kodachis were strapped to his forearms, being hidden by the long sleeves of his kimono, and he also had knives all around his body, from his boots, to one beneath his obi, and a small one in his braid.

He was facing the Gate, ready to embark in this mission, and determined to survive it.

Like it!, REVIEW!! you know you want to ^_^ SK!
