Disclaimer: GO TO FISRT CHAPPY!

About 2 hrs later

Kagome sat quietly watching the land fly as she gazed out her window. At the moment Mustang was watching Sesshomaru. Hughes and Armstrong were watching the front of the train and the Elric brothers had the back. (Caboose?) And she had the middle. Which was really irritating considering all she wanted to do was to talk with Sesshy.

Oh, so long had it been since she seen him! She knew it was he that gave her the alchemy name. But she hadn't heard or seen anything of him.

Near where she sat there was a table of food and coffee. Kagome sighed and went to get some coffee. It was a little after nine and she NEEDED her caffeine!

Taking a long deep sniff of the coffee she drank it down.

Moment's later Mustang came into her train cabin. It was normal for that lower in station to salute their higher-ranking officials. But Sesshomaru taught her well; she never gave respect unless someone deserved it. Speaking of him……….

"Higurashi!" Mustang demanded attention. His only response however, was her looking up at him.

"Go and take over my position… that man gave me a headache.

Kagome raised an eyebrow at this, Sesshomaru never talked so much that he gave someone a headache

"Did he actually speak to you?"

"No. I did however. Over and over again trying to strike up a conversation but he NEVER replied. Just go will you?"

Kagome all but ran to where Sesshomaru was and plopped down beside of him.

" You did that on purpose didn't you?" Kagome asked referring to the efficient way he got rid of Roy.

Sesshomaru smirked, " Of course I had to see my little sister." (Remember he never adopted her only act like there are siblings.)

Kagome grinned and hugged him. "So how has every one been? Sango and Miroku, they got married right? How many kids? What about Shippo? Rin? Jaken?"

Her questions would have gone on and on and on and on and on, had Sesshomaru not cut her off by placing his hand over her lips.

"Fine. Yes, seven. He's alive and traveling. Rin died, old and a great- grandmother. She married the slayers younger brother."

The thought of everyone having a happy ending brought mixed feelings for Kagome. Happiness, envy, and sadness.

The happiness should be obvious, it was for her friends. As was the feeling of envy. Sadness… for she might never get her happy ending.

Changing the subject abruptly so Sesshomaru wouldn't notice she asked, " So do you have any idea of whom of after you?"

Sesshomaru smiled gently, knowing her feelings, " I have an idea of who it may be. Although, the scent I smelt was faint, I still recognized it."

"And…" Kagome egged on.

" It may have been him, a detachment, or a reincarnation."

"You mean to say, that who think it may be is HIM?"

Sesshomaru nodded, "Naraku."

"But we killed him!"

"Yes but someone or something was able to resurrect him."

Kagome mulled it all over in her mind…

'Could it be possible? Was he alive? Then where was he?'

Before Kagome found any suitable answers for her many questions the whistle blew, indicating that they were coming to a stop.

Sesshomaru sighed slightly, one of the few emotions he ever displayed, annoyance.

Gathering up their luggage the group got off the train. (remember they're staying for two days.)

They split into two groups and into two cabbies. Roy, Kagome, and Sesshomaru in one. Armstrong, Hughes and the Bros in another.

Roy couldn't help notice the way Kagome was acting all chummy around the target. What was that feeling that settled in the pit of his stomach, jealousy? Oh heavens that couldn't be it.

Hearing Kagome laugh slightly at something the "Target" had said, made him began t rethink that whole jealousy thing.

The drive to the village took about twenty minuets from the station. Needless to say the ride for Kagome was absolutely BORIING! Roy and Sesshomaru never spoke a word.

When they finally arrived at the village they arrived at another problem: the local inn only had two rooms with two beds each.

(I was going to end it here but I decided that I owed you a longER chapter. Meaning longer than the last not really REALLY long)

Of course they eventually worked it out, it went like this: Elric bros with Hughes and Armstrong. Ed would get a bed while Al would sit-sleep, since he didn't feel anything. Hughes would get the other bed part of the night while Armstrong stood watch. Then vice-versa later in the night.

In the other room it went like this: Sesshy got a bed, that went unsaid, Kagome would sleep some while Roy watched and later on Vice-versa.

When the sleeping arrangements had finally been settled and the group had had their meal everyone split up.

Ed and Al just went out to talk to the town's folk, seeking more info on the Stone. Armstrong went to bed saying, 'Although he was strong he would need sleep so that later on he could protect everyone with plenty of muscle.' Which of course was followed by him flexing his muscle and Kagome holding in her giggles. (He's such a creepy dude!)

Kagome and Sesshy went and sat near a fire, just discussing what he did in his life, what she did ect. While Hughes and Roy watched from a near by table.

"Have you noticed that she's the only one he will talk to?" Hughes (Okay SOMEONE give me his first name!) asked.

His only response was a nod, as Mustang watched the couple. What was their relationship? Better, why did he care?

He heard snippets of their conversation: "Then Rin…. Four pups fifteen grandpups… defeated first demon at age seven…"

Needless to say they were confused as to what Sesshomaru was talking about. Whatever it was Kagome seemed happy.

Suddenly Sesshomaru stood up, causing Kagome to do so right away as well, the boys soon followed.

"I suggest we all retire. I need to make morning rounds throughout the village and I can only assume you will be coming as well," Sesshomaru stated in his unemotional voice. And with that he went up to their room.

Kagome rolled her eyes and followed him mumbling about arrogant demon lords. Hughes and Roy who had caught that were… still really confused.

About four hours later!

Kagome rolled over to look outside at the stars. They were lucky; the inn was on a small hill in a tiny village that shut all lights off after dusk. She got a clear view of the stars. But it didn't feel right looking at them from inside something. She smiled. She still had another hour before it was her turn to watch and Roy appeared to have cluncked out against the wall. Sesshy was asleep… she hoped. It was hard to tell with him.

Kagome got up. She couldn't go through the door; Armstrong was out there. No but the window was still an option.

They were on the second floor but since the inn was built on a hill the ground was only a few feet beneath the window.

Bear-footed and pajama clad she slipped out the window and walked a ways away. To a near by tree she sat down and leaned against the trunk looking up at the stars.

So many! Not as many as the Feudal Era but more than the future.

Kagome smiled as she continued to star gaze.

Inside the room!

Mustang frowned. She left the room. Should he go after her?

Looking over at the sleeping man he decided against it, it was his job to guard him. Mustang leaned back against the wall so his sight outside extended. He was able to see the tree Kagome sat against but not her, for she was sitting on the other side.

A soft and barley audible sigh escaped him. Needless to say he was relaxed. So when a gruff voice spoke he jumped slightly.

"Just go after her will you? This Sesshomaru can care for himself."

Roy looked over at the man-demon- wasn't he supposed to be asleep?

"Go."

"What makes you think I want to?"

"It's written all over your face. But know this hurt her I kill you."

"What is she to you?"

"My nonrelated sister, now leave. I can't think with you sighing every ten seconds."

(Don't you love Fluffy-sama?)

Roy grinned and exited the room by window. Totally forgetting that there was a door.

Outside

Kagome felt someone come closer and tensed up. She relaxed when she heard and recognized the voice.

"You shouldn't be out in the cold."

Rolling her eyes Kagome answered, "It's not that cold and all I'm doing is star gazing."

Roy sat down beside her, and noticing her shivering he placed the coat he was smart enough to bring, around her shoulders. "Not cold huh?"

She stuck her tongue out at him in a very childish manner.

Turning her gaze back to the stars she asked, "Shouldn't you be watching Sesshy?"

'Sesshy?' "He is awake and can take care of himself."

Kagome nodded, ' of course he could'

Shivering again Kagome unconsciously moved toward Mustang and the warmth that surrounded his body.

The action shocked him slightly but no where near as much as what he did next. Which was place an arm around Kagome's shoulder and her moving closer still.

(Hi people hate to interrupt that cute moment-isn't just? - but I need to ask: does anyone else besides me the writer think is funny that Roy is like 30 and is still nervous around girls? Ok bye!)

Kagome snuggled into Roy's arms, totally comfortable. Just because it felt protecting. It felt loving. It felt… right.

And that is how they spent the rest of the night.

Okay hi! This chapter on Word is just a little over five pages and I hope you're happy with it. I would really like it if you reviewed my story.

Personally I like this so far, I'm just nervous that because were not far in the series of FMA that something might happen like Roy meeting someone and I'll have to start over. I guess will cross that bridge when we come to it.

Anyway if any one would recommend a story I'd appreciate it. Also Hughes first name please? Or any other info that wasn't in the shows on Adult swim yet please give.

Thanks a billion and remember to review.

Ps: did anyone smile at that cutee KagRoy moment? I did!
