WOW! Over 100 reviews. Geez, I'm starting to think you people like this story or something. Anywho, thanks again once more for reading this.

I also like to let you know that I am working on two other stories –which haven't been posted yet- besides this. So forgive me if the updates begin to come slower and slower. I'm trying for you people I really am.

Plus, the season of FMA is really started to get heated up and I fear that because of that this story may end soon. I don't like not knowing what's going on. So forgive me again but I think this story is narrowing down to the last of its chapters.

DONT OWN

Chapter Ten

Roy Mustang paced nervously outside Kagome's new room. It had been given to her to stay two weeks ago. After Aya died in the fire. The two weeks had been hard on everyone. Kagome barely spoke for the first week and when she did it was some nonsense about demons. Alphonse (that's how you spell that right?) had tried to comfort her, only to receive a sad smile and her to exit the room.

It was perhaps worst for Roy. Who could do nothing as he heard her sob into her pillows late at night. Plus, he had to endure the rage of one Sesshomaru; who was not pleased after Roy told him of the incident.

So now Roy paced outside her room. He had called her down to his office nearly an hour ago. And she had not shown up. He was beginning to become unnerved. So her knocked on her door once. Receiving no answer, he threw open the door and walked inside the perfectly quiet room. No one had been in it for at least a day.

There was a sheet of paper on the bed. Next to it was something silver, but Mustang merely glanced at it before reading the note.

To whom it may concern,

I regret to inform you, but I am sure since your reading this you have already realized, I have left. I can not tell for what reason I have left, but believe me that it is for the best. Tell Sesshomaru nothing of this please. He would know and come after me, which as the case may be, is not wise.

And to Roy. I am sorry to leave and to have to say this in a simple letter instead of face to face. But I hope you humbly accept my resignation.

I doubt I'll ever see you again, any of you, but I appreciate everything you have done.

With all my love (This was scratched out)

Sincerely,

Kagome Higurashi

PS: Al look under your pillow.

Roy read and reread the letter. He couldn't believe that she left. And now Roy took the time to look at the silver something next to the note. It was the silver pocket watch. She had really quit.

He sat on the bed, dumfounded. She had not even said goodbye.

Al Elric sat silently on his bed. Thinking over and over again, 'She left. She left.' Why it pained him so much he did not know. She was after all, only a co-worker of his brother; well excoworker. But it hurt his heart like he had lost someone very important to him. Like if he had lost Ed, it would hurt just the same.

A sudden thought came to him. Roy told him that she said in the letter to look under his pillow. Hope grew inside him. Had she left something, just for him?

She did apparently, a note.

Dear Al,

The other day, two weeks ago, you asked me about the miko. Did she ever go back to her family? Was she here maybe? I hope you understand that what you read could very well put you into some sort of danger, so don't tell your brother. Or anyone, except probably Sesshomaru, tell what I'm going to tell you. He'll know where I went. Let's get back to the subject shall we?

Well Al, how come you never wanted to know if the miko was happy? You'll be happy to know she was, and yes she is in this time. She came here three years ago. And had to live on the streets for a while, until a kind woman found her and took her in. The old woman taught her alchemy, and told the miko different sorts of plants, in turn the miko taught the old woman. Two and a half years later she went to the west and became a state alchemist. Then three weeks ago transferred here.

You've figured it out haven't you? You are probably slack jawed at the moment. I am sorry I never told you, but there was a danger, and still is. But someone other than Sesshomaru needs to know. And I trust you. Don't hurt yourself kiddo. And tell Sesshomaru something for me? Tell him Reko attacked Aya. He'll know then,

I'll miss you. You were like the little brother Sota would be. I never told about Sota did I? He and I were nothing like you and Ed.

See you… hopefully,

Kagome.

It took Al a minuet to react. Kagome was… it want possible was it? Who was Reko? Should he talk to Sesshomaru, the man would be coming today, looking for Kagome.

Al did just that. He was surprised at how the man reacted, by the fact the man didn't react. He swore his eyes darkened, but that was all. Sesshomaru told Al more than Kagome ever did. About her adventures. Al thought he and Ed had it tough, but it seemed so small compared to Kagome's adventures.

Al asked Sesshomaru if they should tell Roy, he seemed to care about Kagome and deserved to know that she might be going to get herself killed. Sesshomaru told him to do what he wanted. Al did want to tell him, but couldn't.

It seemed Roy had left soon after reading Kagome's first letter.

Okay hi, don't kill me, I was going to make it longer but this is kind of a prologue for the next chapter.

Oh where is Roy?

The next chapter will be up soon… I think.

Also I need help with something. Should I post my other stories? One is SessKag and is in chapter four. Should I?

No review responses this time. But I would like to thank everyone.
