Chapter 2: Into the Sacred Well
Kagome started avoiding the vines that covered the shrine of the Sacred Well. She then saw a white painted well that was covered in vines. They're white rose petals all over it and a few pink cherry blossom petals. Kagome saw the beauty and thought…
This well doesn't seem dangerous… but why do they even say it's dangerous?
Shippo followed close behind Kagome secretly and saw she was approaching the well. He tried to yell but he didn't want to bother her.
Kagome saw an engraving on the well, she wiped the dust carefully. Dust flew to her face making her cough a bit.
She then read the words carefully and it says:
"Whoever tries to jump in this Well may be forever trapped in the world or even be cursed forever…"
Kagome stepped back a bit, she really wanted to save Inuyasha from his illness and she knew that the last two Shards might lay in the well. The stone may also lie in the well too. She then looked in the bottom and saw two sparkling crystals. Then it hit her… it was the two shards.
"There it is… but there's no sign of the stone…" Kagome sighed she then carefully jumped in the well.
As she was in the well she grabbed the two shards. Nothing seemed to happen for a moment until…
Shippo then approached the well carefully, as he was close enough the well started to glow. "Oh no Kagome!" he yelled.
Kagome started looking around as the well started to glow around her. She then heard Shippo's voice from above. She looked up and saw Shippo. "SHIPPO HELP! PLEASE CALL THE OTHERS!" She yelled.
Shippo was so worried that he jumped in anyway with Kagome. "KAGOME I CAN'T LEAVE YOU HERE!" He then hugged her leg.
Kagome started to look around as the Sacred Well glow brightly and suddenly they disappeared.
Kagome and Shippo were going down in a vortex. They screamed and closed their eyes. They hoped that they would survive this vortex.
-FMA World: Resembool-
"Finally," A young blonde teen boy sighed as he was sitting under a tree on a sunny day. "My auto-mail is finally fixed thanks to Winry!" He smiled as he shined his metal armor a bit with a handkerchief.
The boy was rather about 5 feet 5 inches short. He had long blonde hair braided. He was wearing a red coat over his black t-shirt. The boy had golden-yellow eyes and his arm was made with a metal called an auto-mail. He was named Edward Elric, the full metal Alchemist.
"Good thing Winry was able to fix it to you." A voice behind him said.
"Yeah Alphonse, if I wouldn't have it fixed it would be broken." Ed replied to a big armored man. The big armored man was named Alphonse Elric, Ed's little brother. He may be big for him but inside he's actually a young boy.
The Elric brothers are the two alchemists who are in search for the Philosopher's Stone. Due to an accident to do a Human Transmutation to bring back their mother, the brothers lost a few things. Edward lost leg and Alphonse lost his whole body. To attach Al's soul, Ed had to give his arm away for it. So now Al's soul is trapped in armor until they find the Stone.
They stood up and started walking along the road to go back to their journey.
-In A Well close to Resembool-
In the outskirts of Resembool, there was a well. That well was covered with some vines and thorns too. The well was also painted in white.
A little hand peeped out of the well. Then Shippo popped out as he was struggling to get out.
He sighed as he jumped out of the well. He then looked around to see where he was.
"What the? This isn't the forest anymore… it looks like a farmland…" Shippo said as the wind blew to his little face. "This doesn't seem like a dangerous place to me…"
Shippo then noticed that Kagome wasn't out yet. He was worried so he looked down at the well and saw Kagome unconscious. He gasped, "KAGOME! LADY KAGOME!" He was scared and was running in circles. "SOMEONE HELP!" He cried.
As the two brothers were walking out of Resembool, they heard a shout coming from the east.
"I hear something…" Ed turned around to where the well is. Al glanced at his brother and glanced at the well. They both saw a young boy who had reddish-orange hair pony-tailed. The boy also had a weird fluffy thing like a tail.
"I think that boy needs help, he probably dropped something in that well." Al pointed out. Ed started running to the boy.
Shippo stopped running in circles when he saw a blonde teen boy approaching him. He saw he had golden-eyes like Inuyasha's. He stopped and stepped back from this mysterious teen boy.
Behind him he saw a big armored guy and gasped.
"Don't worry kid, we won't hurt you." Ed whispered in a soft calming tone. He then smiled, "What is it, did you dropped something in the well?"
Shippo nodded slowly and pointed in the well, "My friend is in there and she's unconscious!" he cried.
Ed looked in the well and saw a girl with black hair. She was wearing sort of like a uniform. She also was carrying a little brown backpack.
Ed glanced at Al, "Alphonse, I'll be right back. There's a girl in the well who's unconscious." Al nodded as he watched his brother jumped in the Well. As Ed was in the well, he brushed some dirt off her uniform. He saw she was breathing heavily and sweating a bit. Ed carried her and looked up from the well.
"ALPHONSE, CAN YOU GET A ROPE TO GET US UP THERE?" Ed asked.
"Okay brother!" Al then went back to the town to get a rope. Shippo watched as Ed put his red coat on Kagome. He then wiped her sweat with his handkerchief.
"Don't worry kid, will get you friend out. By the way what's your name? You must be new here and her." Ed asked with a grin.
"My name is Shippo!" Shippo replied.
"Shippo? What a strange name, you probably are from out of town I guess." Ed yelled back from the bottom. He then looked at Kagome's face, her face was pure white and her hair was silk and soft.
"Don't worry miss, will get you out." Ed whispered to her.
Al came back as fast as he can with a rope. "Brother, I got it!" he yelled to the two people in the well.
Al dropped the long rope to Ed. Ed put Kagome behind his back and started climbing up.
At the top, Ed laid Kagome on the grass with his red coat over her. They waited as she wakes up.
Kagome felt sunlight in her face; she then opened her chocolate brown eyes slowly and saw a teen boy next to her. She then gasped and sat up.
Ed then looked straight at her with his golden-yellow eyes. "Finally, sleeping beauty has finally woken up." He smirked as he watched her rub her eyes.
"W-where am I? Who are you?" She asked the teen boy and looked at him with her brown eyes.
She also saw an Armored man next to him and Shippo on his shoulder.
She gasped and stepped back a bit.
"It's okay miss, we won't hurt you. We just saved you from the well." Al said to the young girl.
"Tell me, who are you guys?" she asked and looked at the two of them. "Yeah, you didn't tell me who you were guys!" Shippo said with a curious face.
"My name is Edward Elric and this is my brother, Alphonse Elric." Ed introduced with a big toothy grin.
"Nice to meet you too." Al bowed respectfully.
Kagome smiled, "My name is Kagome Higurashi and this is my little friend Shippo." Shippo waved at the two boys.
"Kagome… Higurashi? I never heard of that name before, you two are probably newcomers here in Resembool." Ed said as he put on his red coat. "Ed and I found you in the well unconscious Kagome, what happened?" Al asked.
Kagome sweat dropped. "Long story…" Shippo nodded with a sweat drop too.
"Why don't you tell us on the way, you want to come with us to Central?" Ed asked. "Or are you two staying here, because me and Al are going to look for the Philosopher's Stone."
"The… Philosopher's Stone?" Kagome repeated after she heard Ed said that. "You two are also looking for the Philosopher's Stone?" Kagome asked.
Ed and Al looked at each other and nodded, "Yeah we both are."
Kagome then approached them, "I'm also looking for the Stone too… would you guys help us… please?" Kagome pleaded with a frown. She really wanted to help Inuyasha; she doesn't want to loose him.
"Why Kagome, how come you want to? You know the Philosopher Stone has a great deal of Alchemy in it." Ed looked at Kagome.
"I need it because my friend is really sick. There's nothing that can cure him so… I wanted to find the Stone because it has a great deal of power. It can heal him. Please Edward, I want to come with you and Al to find the stone to save him…" Kagome explained as tears ran down to her cheeks.
Ed then felt a bit sad for her. He then gave Kagome his handkerchief so she can wipe her tears away.
"Thank you…" she looked up at Ed and wiped her tears away.
"Kagome and Shippo, if you really want the Stone… Me and Al are going to help you okay?" Ed grinned. Kagome and Shippo's face lit up. "You will?"
"Yeah sure, but there is a downside to this you know. Finding the stone might be dangerous too…" Al explained. "Some people are really greedy and wants the stone all to themselves. The stone also have a dangerous power in it too… so otherwise we have to be careful."
Kagome nodded.
"So come on Kagome and Shippo, were going to find the stone to rebuild what we all might loose." Ed smiled his toothy grin again. Kagome and Shippo smiled and then followed them.
This will be another quest that Kagome and Shippo will do… to save Inuyasha.
To Be continued...
