Hi there everybody! Well, writing wise nothing has changed, except for me updating this story. Anyways, I took inspiration from Illidan's stories, and now I am gonna let everybody know about some stuff that's going on in my life! *Hears people groaning* Or maybe, I'll just get on to the reviews so I can get to the story. *Everybody cheering* Thank you, thank you. I only have one review right now from my ever faithful fan, Sassybratt, so I guess this chapter is for you!

Sassybratt: Yeah, I was looking back through, and I realized that maybe going through a couple of re-reads wouldn't have killed me. It was full of typos and even a couple of grammactical errors. I also saw what you meant about the overuse of character names too. I said Winry's name like three times within ten words. That's like a third of that section being her name, and that's not good. I'm glad you're happy about the story though.

I would also like to thank rosethourne, gigglez30, and Sassybratt for adding my story to their favorites list, and also to gigglez30 for adding me to his/her favorite authors list too, that made feel all warm and somewhat fuzzy inside. Here's the story, so enjoy!

Chapter 2

Inuyasha, Kagome, and Ed all walked into Kaede's village. Ed couldn't help but feel like people were staring at him and even at his clothes. He slowly begin to take in all of his surroundings, and easily deducted that wherever The Gate had decided to dump him off this time was somewhere in the past because of the "primitive" farming equipment, even though it was more advanced than what most textbooks had led him to believe. The group finally stopped at a small hut at the outskirts of the village, then entered in single file, with Ed being the last to step in.

"What does ye want now Inuyasha," an older woman of about sixty questioned. She wore clothes that were exactly the same as Kagome's. She approached the small group.

"We need to know how to get this guy back to his time Lady Kaede," Kagome chirped in, motioning to where Edward last stood. "Um, whenever we find him again, that is." Kagome stepped near Inuyasha and whispered, "Where is Ed anyways? He was standing right behind you earlier."

Inuyasha shrugged the question off, "Hell if I know where the midget ran off to." That was when they all heard the commotion outside. The group stepped outside to a small toad-like demon trying to pick a fight with Ed.

"Lord Sesshomaru demands to know where Inuyasha is! Let me by runt!" A vein popped up on Ed's forehead as the air seemed to darken around the two. Jaken slowly sank lower to the ground as Ed leaned down to see him eye to eye.

"Dont call me a runt! Or a shrimp! Or a midget!" Ed kicked Jaken in the forehead. The small demon fell down on his back as a lump slowly rose on the top of his head. Ed slowly returned to what most would call his "normal self". Shortly after this commotion had all transpired, Sesshomaru walked into the village, and his visage was unreadable, as usual.

"This Sesshomaru demands to speak with his ward," his icy voice rang out across the village. Most of the villagers had retreated into their huts out of fear that the demon lord might would kill them simply ouf his spite of humans. He looked around, but Sesshomaru couldn't see Rin. "Where is Rin?" His words rang out a few moments, "And who is this trespasser in my lands?" His words were aimed straight at Ed.

Ed stood up to his full height, which was right about at Sesshomaru's shoulders, and that was on a good day. "My name is Edward Elric, and you could say I'm just passing through. If you would move, I would like to go back inside the hut and speak with Inuyasha, Kagome, and the old lady about me getting back to my home. So if you would," Ed shoved his way past Sesshomaru, "move, I would like to get back to our meeting." As Edward walked away, the powerful demon lord drew Bakusaiga from it's sheath.

"Learn some respect boy. Maybe the loss of an arm will teach you." Sesshomaru swung Bakusaiga down at Ed's right arm, only for the alchemist to stop the blade with his arm, and allowed it to tear the red overcoat and black long-sleeve shirt that Ed wore. Sesshomaru's eyes widened a fraction of a second but then his emotionless face was back in place. "Your arm, it's made of metal? But how can that be and you still retain all abilities of a normal arm?" Sesshomaru just continued walking past Ed. "Make sure this Sesshomaru's ward is here the next time this Sesshomaru is here." The Lord of the Western Stronghold stepped on Jaken and continued on. "Jaken!"

The small toad demon jumped up and shouted, "Wait on me my lord!" He turned around a moment and shouted back, "You will pay for your insolence next time brat!" Then, Jaken scrambled after his lord.

Slowly, the villagers began to pour back out of their huts, looking nervously around to make sure that Sesshomaru was truly gone. Just about that time, Rin came walking into the other end of the village from gathering herbs and happily asked, "So, did I miss anything today?"

As the small group sat around a small pot of stew cooking, Kaede began to speak. "It seems to me Edward, going by your story, and if it's true, that an alteration of the Shikon Jewel was in your world, except for this one had a price with it. This price, ye said it was called equilivant exchange?" Ed nodded his head up and down. "This could also be implied to the Shikon Jewel in a sense. You see, if a pure wish is made, then it disappears for forever. However, if a wish that is filled with malice and hatred is made, then the jewel becomes tainted, and will not disappear."

"Well, I don't see that as much of a price. My brother and I tried to raise our mother from the dead, and I lost my left leg and Alphonse lost his whole body. Then, to get my brother's soul back, I gave up my right arm. Your Shikon Jewel sounds easy compared to that." Ed paused, waiting for everyone to absorb this new bit of information. "You see, the Philosopher's Stone allows alchemists to bypass the laws of equilivant exchange. We were hoping to use it to get back our old bodies, but from what I'm able to deduct, Inuyasha and Kagome made their wish at the exact same time as I tried to get back our bodies."

Inuyasha stood up. "That's a nice story and all, but the quicker you get back to your time, the better. I have to look down to see your short ass anyways. It gives me a crink in my neck."

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU SAY DOG TURD!!!!?" Ed jumped up in an outrage.

"OKAY, NOW LOOK HERE MIDGET!!!" Inuyasha hit Ed on top of the head.

"YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THAT YOU SACK OF SHEEP SHIT!" Ed punched Inuyasha with a mean uppercut, right under the chin. "MAYBE THAT WILL FIX THAT CRINK IN YOUR NECK!" Kaede and Kagome both sweat-dropped at this little exchange. Inuyasha laid where he fell, knocked out cold, and with swirlies for eyes.

"I think it may be fairly safe to say that Ed gets ticked when people call him short or anything that has to do with it. Maybe we should warn Sango and the others?" Kagome asked.

"Aye, I think ye should."

It was almost sundown in the small village. Once the local people had heard Ed's story, they were no longer worried about his strange clothing or his metallic limbs. Ed had even took to helping out an elderly man in the village tend his garden when he heard the man start spouting a stream of curses. He strolled over to the old man and asked him what had happened. "Well, I was just hoing out these weeds," the old man pointed to the spot where he had been doing his weeding, "and I hit this damn root! It broke my hoe blade clear in half."

"Well, let me see them." Ed picked up the broke hoe blade and laid it next to the handle. Ed clapped his hands together and and held them near the broke hoe. A bright blue flash of light followed that action with dust suddenly kicking up mildly. As soon as the dust kicked up, it soon died down, revealing the tool to back in one piece, seemingly brand new. "That good enough for you old timer?"

The old man stuttered, "Ren... rentanjutsu. I thought that art had died." His statements sounded more like questions to the alchemist. By now, the majority of the villagers had gathered around and were asking if a demon had attacked, what that bright flash of light was, and other questions of the sort. "No, it was not a demon; this young man here used rentanjutsu to fix my hoe." A low murmur passed through the more elderly of the villagers now.

"Hold on, wasnt there another user of rentanjutsu pass through here not too long ago?" Another low murmur passed through the crowd, agreeing with the person who spoke it. "And he had long blonde hair too, just like Ed's. In fact, he resembled him a lot, other than the man being tall and having a beard. He was also wearing glass over his eyes."

Ed had picked up on the vibe of where this was going. In a low voice he asked, "Did any of you happen to catch this bastard's name?"

The elderly man looked up and said, "As a matter of fact, I did. I believe he said his name was Hohenheim. Hohenheim of Light to be precise. Why do you ask?"

With his bangs obscuring his eyes from the crowd, Ed said, "So it WAS you bastard...."

Haha, I know it was a short chapter, with a small cliffhanger, but my mind just simply refused to spurt forth any more information for me. That's the way this story goes, just until my mind decides to quit telling me stuff. Weird, I know, but that's how we all are in our little sense, y'know? Anyways, I would also like to thank Illidan the Half Demon for his review, sorry about not answering up top, but I was too lazy to back up there and change the stuff up.

Also, if you're wanting to read a good story, check out his story Another. Very nice story, blending several animes together rather flawlessly. The link is as follows: .net/s/4046590/1/Another

Anyways, review, review, review! I love hearing what my Readers think about my stories/chapters. I promise I won't bite you.
