Caroline: Ok, this is just prove that no one listens to us.

Jordan: Well, we never listen to anyone either.

Caroline: Exactly, & we're damn proof of it too!

Jordan: It just means the people reading this hate us.

Caroline: Apparently so.

Jordan: Maybe we should post a threat.

Caroline: (thinks) Evil smile

Jordan: (sighs) There she goes again.

Caroline: Mwahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahhahahaha!


Chapter 4: The Clinically Insane

Inuyasha pouted.

"Kagome, that's no fair at all. It's mine & you know it."

Kagome sighed as she handed the cup of Ramen to Caroline, then turned to Inuyasha.

"Oh, Inuyasha, quit acting like such a baby, & get over it. She hasn't eaten all day."

Caroline gave a little sniffle.

"That's right," she lied, even coming up with a childish voice. "I live in the streets & I never get too much to eat… if anything." Sango, Miroku, Shippo, & Kagome looked saddened. Inuyasha just stared indifferently. "I only fell down here in that dark, scary well because I was running from the..." She thought.

'Crap, Caroline. What are you gonna say now? The Military… the Ishbalians… the rats…'

"Because I was running from the mean old demons trying to kill me…" At this point, the girl sat down her noodles & began to cry fake tears. Miroku began to rub her shoulders, trying to comfort her. Shippo came up & hugged her. Kirara came & sat in the girl's lap.

"You poor thing," Sango comforted.

"You liar," Inuyasha replied.

Kagome turned as the girl made her crying sound louder.

"Inuyasha, sit, boy!" she yelled.

As he ate dirt, Kagome looked at the girl. "I bet we can help," she said.

Caroline looked up & wiped the tears away. "Really?" Hope shone in her eyes.

Kagome nodded. "We'll travel to your world & attack those demons, first thing tomorrow, okay?"

Caroline's face fell. Nervous sweat appeared on her forehead. However, no one noticed, as they looked up at Kagome & made their remarks.

"Yes," Miroku said. "Our first priority must be to keep everyone safe."

"& there might even be Shikon shards in her era as well," Sango said hopefully. Kirara meowed.

"I'm up for it!" Shippo said, jumping onto Kagome's shoulder.

"Uh… No, that's fine," Caroline said, waving her hands. "Its just… fine. Nobody's hurting anyone so we're-"

"But…" Kagome looked confused. "You just said you were being chased by a band of demons trying to kill you."

Caroline scratched the back of her head nervously. "So I did…" she stated.

"Are you lying?" Sango asked suspiciously.

Caroline laughed nervously. "Of course not."

"Of course she is," said two familiar voices.

Caroline turned around, horrorstricken. "Hey, its Ed & Colonel Mustsu-"

They glared at her. Caroline gulped before she could finish. The others stared silently as the two advanced on her. 'Two men with a mission,' she thought. 'It can't get much worse, right?'

Just then, something behind them knocked them both out of the way. Looking angrier than both Ed & Roy together, stood Jordan.

Caroline looked at her, wondering if the girl she had grown up with, her almost-sister, her best friend, would go easy on her. A little clock started ticking in her head & when it beeped, the answer was 'No.' The girl stared up, horrorstricken, hoping that maybe, just maybe the others would mistake her for a demon & perhaps…

"What were you thinking?" Jordan yelled.

Caroline screamed as she dodged a flame.

"Jordan, maybe you shouldn't-" Roy stopped when he saw her glare. She turned back to face

"I told you not to move, but what did you do?"

Before Caroline could answer, a fist made completely of fire grabbed the girl by the neck.

"Hey, hold on," Kagome said, running over & grabbing Jordan's shoulder. "She didn't do anything. Some of the demons chased her out of the box she lived in &-"

"Box?" Jordan asked, not sure if she had heard correctly. "She said she lived in a box!" She started laughing. Caroline began to laugh, realizing how dumb it sounded, then began choking as the fist squeezed tighter.

"You mean…" Kagome let go.

"There were no demons?" Sango asked.

Roy, Ed, & Jordan all laughed. Caroline began choking & flailing her arms.

"Of course not," the Colonel said. "We were all at the Military HQ."

The others were silent, & glared at Caroline.

"Told ya she was lying," Inuyasha bragged.

They ignored him. "She's in the army?" Sango asked.

"Of course," Jordan said. She snapped once, & Caroline was dropped. "She's a State Alchemist."

"A State wha?" Inuyasha asked, confused.

"Alchemist," Roy replied, walking up.

"What's an Alchemist?" Miroku asked.

"How'd you do that?" Shippo asked, still amazed by the fire techniques.

Jordan smiled. "Well, I'm a State Alchemist too, & whenever I snap-" Caroline stood up, looking at the burnt edges of her collar. Jordan snapped, & in flaming letters above her head were the words (a/n: 'I am Lord Voldemort') 'Shrimp'. An arrow appeared & pointed down at her. Both Mustangs started holding in their laughter. Caroline looked at them.

"What?" she asked, obliviously. She looked to where their eyes rested. The letters dispersed. She looked at them oddly as they snickered amongst themselves.

"She doesn't like being called short?" Shippo asked.

"Not at all," she answered.

"Neither does that little shrimp over there," Roy said, pointing to Ed, who had joined Caroline.

The blonde looked up. "What'd you say?"

Mustang smiled. "Nothing, Fullmetal, nothing at all."

Ed's eyes narrowed, but he returned to talking with Caroline.

"Anyways," Jordan said. "We're all State Alchemists. They're Alchemists who work for the Military & get funded for their research."

"But… how did you do that?" Shippo was obviously confused.

"Easy," Jordan said. She showed him the wristbands she wore. "Alchemy. It's a type of science. That-" she pointed to the flame transmutation circle on them. "Is a transmutation circle. By putting your hands on it, you should be able to make a lot of reactions."

"As long as it's equivalent exchange," Roy added.

"Yeah. But some kinds of Alchemy are forbidden." All heads turned to Ed's voice. All, except Jordan & Roy were confused to as why both Elrics looked saddened & guilty.

"What do they mean?" Sango asked.

"Nothing," Roy quickly answered. "I'm sorry, but we have to be going now."

"No, stay," Shippo begged.

"He's right," Miroku said. "Its quite late to go out into the forests now. There might be demons."

"Somehow I doubt so," Roy said. "We got here fine enough."

"Aw come on, Roy!" Jordan said. "Lets just stay for one night at least!"

Roy looked down at her. She began to whimper, sounding much like a lost puppy.

He sighed. "Fine, just stop whimpering," he said.

"Yes!" Jordan yelled.

"Pardon me," Kagome said. "But, I don't think we've introduced ourselves yet."

"Right," Roy nodded.

"I'm Sango, the demon slayer, & this is Kirara," she patted the small white cat on her shoulder.

"I'm Miroku, the monk," said the raven haired boy, bowing slightly.

"I'm Kagome Higurashi, this is Shippo," she motioned to the red-haired kitsune sitting in her arms. "& that-" she motioned to Inuyasha. "Is Inuyasha, the half-demon."

"What's this about demons?" Ed asked, walking up. Roy elbowed him. "I mean, my name is Edward Elric, the Fullmetal Alchemist."

"But you look so-" Kagome stopped, remembering what Roy said earlier. "Young." She said. "So young to already be in the Militia."

"Yeah, yeah," he said.

"I'm Colonel Roy Mustang, Flame Alchemist," Roy said proudly.

"So, you use fire as well?" Sango asked.

"Yeah," Jordan stated. "But I can turn mine into different shapes & sizes, that's why they call me Jordan Mustang, the Living Fire Alchemist."

The team stared at the group of siblings, then noticed something, or someone was missing.

"Wait," Miroku said. "Where's Caroline?"

Almost as if an answer from God (a/n: or Buddha, in Miroku's case.), Roy suddenly yelled

"Caroline!"

They all turned to find Caroline rummaging madly through Kagome's backpack, finding & eating every piece of candy or sweets in there. She turned & replied. "I like sugar."

"Get outta my stuff, you shrimp!" Kagome yelled, losing it, & running for her stuff.

"Give me some!" Ed yelled.

"Fullmetal!" Roy scolded.

"Sorry," he apologized.

"You idiot! You have a whole stash in your coat pocket!" Jordan yelled.

So Kagome, Roy, Ed, Jordan, & Caroline had ruined the quiet night by the campfire, leaving the rest to dub the people from the modern times clinically insane.

To be continued...


Caroline: Well, we are clinically insane so… that kinda helps.

Jordan: Yes. Yes it does.

Caroline: It's just proof that we are.

Jordan: Like the proof that no one likes me better coughhint-HINTcough

Caroline: Yeah, honestly, if people really loved Fullmetal Alchemist & Inuyasha, they'd know that if they read this, REVIEWS WOULD BE EQUIVALENT EXCHANGE!

Jordan: They just flat-out hate us.

Caroline: No, they think they'll hurt our feelings.

Jordan: Oh god. Not that again.

Caroline: Okay, look, my OCs, yes, they are based after both me (Hi!) & my friend & we both quite frankly are rivals, but we don't get emotional over ANYTHING. I mean, we don't care if more people like the sporadic sugar-high one (Caroline) or if they like the cynical pyromaniac (Jordan). NOTHING will happen to either one of us, like if Jordan loses, she won't die later in the fic. & Neither will I! Just PLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAASSSEE help our curiosity! We're only curious so please tell us which OC you like better.

Jordan: & please review or Caroline will cry again.

Caroline: & Sesshomaru will bite off your toes one-by-one, devour your splien, tear out your arteries & veins & choke you with them until you loose so much blood that you die.

Jordan:...long story, SHORT (Caroline: I AM NOT!), review or die.

Caroline: Hey we could get shirts like that! Instead of... you know, vote or die.
