Chapter 8: The Finding

-Hughes' House-

"No…" Ed whispered with sweat rolling down his face. Even though it was cold outside he had sweat pouring down. He then knelt down on the ground and pounded his fist at it.

"That fucking bastard!" He yelled. Nina and Shippo held tight to Mrs. Hughes after Ed said those words. Al came with the tied and unconscious Ellie. With him was dizzy Hughes.

"Brother, is everything alright? Why are you like that?" Al asked.

Ed turned with an angry face, "KAGOME! DON'T YOU SEE SHE'S NOT HERE! SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE! SHE GOT KIDNAPPED!" Ed yelled at the top of his lungs. "SHE WAS KIDNAPPED BY ELLIE'S PARTNER! THAT BASTARD!"

"Ed calm down, don't worry will try to track Kagome and the one who kidnapped her." Hughes said with a calm voice. Ed formed a bit tears, "I'm such an idiot! I should have known that these Dark Alchemists came for her… and the Shikon Jewel!" Ed shouted once again. "I am such a fucking idiot…"

"Edward…" Al whispered.

Ed didn't turn around, he was so angry with himself. Nina and Shippo then came to Ed and hugged him. "Don't worry Ed, will find Kagome soon." Nina smiled. Shippo nodded and smiled. Al then set Ellie on the couch tied. She was breathing slowly and had a big bruise on her face.

Ed then stood up and wiped the tears in his face. "We need to find Kagome, she has the Shikon Jewel. If those Alchemists control that jewel, the world might be in their hands. They will also try to get the Philosopher's Stone and that will give them more power. If we can't stop them… then everyone will be destroyed."

Everyone looked at Ed. They knew that he was determined to save Kagome and the jewel she holds. "Ed… will you stop them?" Nina asked with a worried face. Ed knelt down and patted her head, "Yes, me and Al will try to stop them." Ed smiled weakly at Nina. Nina hugged him tightly. She didn't want to loose him.

Then suddenly the light went on.

"I guess the electricity is back." Hughes said.

"Brother, how are we supposed to know where Kagome is?" Al asked. Ed then stood up and looked at Ellie. "She has all the answers…"

Ellie then woke up after the light was back she then sat up. She saw Ed in an angry face. Ellie glared back at him, she then noticed she was tied. "Let me go you jerks!" she yelled as she struggled free.

"First, we need some answers…" Ed smirked he then approached her. "Where is Kagome? Where is she taken?" Ed asked, as he looked straight to her. "I will never tell!" Ellie smirked back.

"Then, you will be tied here forever." Al said. Ellie smirked, "Didn't you forget I'm an alchemist too?" she then started to glow black, and electric sparks came out. All have the sudden the rope broke and Ellie was about to run. Ed did alchemy and suddenly a metal rope grabbed Ellie.

"You fucking jackass!" Ellie shouted as she tried to do alchemy but couldn't get out.

"Now answer my questions!" Ed was getting really pissed off. "Where is your partner taking Kagome?" Ellie didn't answer. "ANSWER ME!" Ed shouted again. "Fine, so you won't annoy me, it's an abandon building in the corner of Main Street." Ellie sighed angrily.

Ed looked at Al then Hughes. "Hughes, I want you to tell Colonel Mustang to go to Main Street, he can bring some guards. Also, take care of Ellie and don't let her out." Ed told Hughes. Hughes nodded. Ed then turned to Al, "Al, let's go stop these jerks." Ed then went out the door followed by Al.

"ED!" Shippo's voice yelled to Ed. Ed turned around, "Yes Shippo?" he asked. Shippo ran to Ed outside with Nina. "Shippo, Al, and I brought a present for you!" Nina held out the book. Ed took the book and opened it; he saw a picture of a priestess. It looks exactly like Kagome just a bit older. He then turned the page and saw…

"It's you Ed, see? It's a picture of you!" Nina pointed.

Ed's eyes widened, how could his picture this old would be in a book. Plus he never owned that outfit.

"Thanks guys." He smiled. He then gave the book back to Nina, "I want you to keep this while I'm gone. I got to save Kagome and the Jewel." He patted their heads gently. Then he left to save Kagome and the Jewel.

-Main Street: Abandon Building-

Kagome was unconscious, her hands were tied up and she was duck taped. She opened her eyes and saw 3 shadow figures. She screamed, as she was duck taped. She looked around and saw it was all dirty and messy.

Suddenly, one of the shadow figures approached her. It was a boy with long like green-dark black. His eyes were black too. The boy was also wearing like a black shirt and a black shorts.

"She looks so pretty Lust, I can't believe Full metal boy gets a pretty cute girl like her." The boy said as he tears off the duck tape off Kagome's mouth. Kagome winced, "You won't get away with this you monsters!" Kagome shouted.

"Hush girl!" another figure yelled. The figure came up to her; it was a woman with a long black dress and black hair. She also had a mark on her neck. The woman seems a bit scary.

"Envy, would you stop bothering her. Mya come over here!" The woman called to the other figure. "Coming oh great Lust!" A girl who seemed to be named Mya came up to the woman Lust. The girl had short black and brown dark eyes. She was wearing a black t-shirt and black pants.

"Good job on capturing this girl here." Lust said. "No sweat Lust, it was easy. But its too bad Ellie got stuck with the twerps." Mya smirked. She then held the jewel up to Lust.

"The jewel seems to be pretty like the girl over here." Envy pointed at Kagome. "Oh stop flirting Envy." Mya slapped him. "She already has a boyfriend." Envy turned to Mya, "Who the hell is her boyfriend?"

Mya smirked, "You know him, the shrimp."

Envy then had anger veins pop up, "YOU MEAN HIM? HOW CAN HE GET THIS GIRL?" Envy shouted. "Probably because he's more cuter than you." Lust chuckled. Envy glared at them both and then he glanced at Kagome.

Kagome looked at Envy and the others angrily. "WHO ARE ALL OF YOU?" She shouted as she tried to untie her hand. Lust approached the girl, "Were the ones who want the Philosopher's Stone and the Shikon. The names Lust."

"My name is Mya." Mya sighed with boredom she really doesn't want to introduce her.

"The names Envy, pretty cute name huh?" Envy said as he flirted with Kagome. "Would you like to go out sometime?" Envy asked as he held up Kagome's chin. Kagome then spit on his face.

"HEY!" Envy then wiped the spit on his face. "Why I…" Mya then slapped him, "Shut up Envy and get back to business. You retard." Envy was getting really pissed off. Kagome started to get scared and worried. She really hoped to get out of this place. She was worried most about the jewel being in the wrong hands.

"Wow, this jewel look so powerful. I can sense it's energy." Mya said as she grabbed the jewel out of Lust's hands.

"STOP!" Kagome yelled. She tried to untie herself but it's no use. Mya turned to Kagome, "Too bad you brat, this jewel is mine now and you won't have it." She chuckled evilly.

"What do you think we should do to her?" Mya asked. Lust then thought about it. "What about you leave her with me so I can have a little thing with Kagome." Envy smirked as he approached Kagome. Kagome's eyes widened.

"Sure Envy, do anything you want with this girl. Besides I bet she's full of… Virginity." Mya laughed as she went with Lust. Kagome looked at the ground and frowned. Tears formed in her eyes. She doesn't want to be stuck with this jerk. Envy held Kagome's chin up.

"Oh don't worry Kagome, you'll have some fun." Envy leaned closer and was about to kiss her. Kagome closed her eyes as more tears formed. Suddenly a brick hit Envy's head.

He turned around, "Who the hell did that?" he asked. He then saw a shadow figure sitting on a couple of boxes. He couldn't see who it is clearly.

"You know what, you aren't a perfect type for her." The figure jumped off the boxes and came out of the shadows… it was…

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE YOU FUCKING JACKASS… FULLMETAL?"

Kagome's eyes widened, it was Edward! Envy then let go of Kagome. Kagome looked at Ed, "Ed…" she whispered quietly.

"Why I outta…" Envy was about to strike Ed but was grabbed behind by Al. Kagome turned around and saw Al grabbing Envy tightly. "Sorry sir, don't be too rude." Al teased Envy. Envy was getting really angry and pissed off.

Ed smirked as he approached Kagome. Kagome looked at Ed. "You okay Kagome?" Ed asked as he tried to untie her. Kagome looked at the ground. As she was freed she hugged Ed tightly. Ed blushed red as he hugged Kagome back. "Kagome, I'm right her it's…"

A dagger swift by Ed and Kagome, the dagger then hit the ground. Ed and Kagome turned around. On top of them was Mya hanging on a rope. Mya was looking at them, "Sweet words huh?" she was laughing evilly.

Ed then glared at the girl, "Who the fuck are you?" he asked. "Me? Nothing that important you pipsqueak!" she laughed more. Ed then had anger veins popping up. Kagome looked at Ed with a puzzled face, "Edward…" she whispered.

"WHO YOU CALLING A RUNT, SHRIMP, OR A PIPSQUEAK?" Ed yelled as he took of his red coat and another black coat inside. Ed was now in his black t-shirt revealing his metal arm. Kagome gasped, she already saw this. She remembers the time when Ed told her about his metal arm. She was still feeling uneasy around him when he was revealing his metal arm.

"Kagome, I want you to step back." He said calmly to her. Kagome nodded as she stepped back. Ed then looked at Mya, "You think you're all that are you?" Mya then looked at him. She then jumped back down on the ground.

"Why? You're just a shrimp you think you can beat me?" Mya smirked. Ed was getting pissed off. He then transformed his metal arm as a blade. He then tried to strike Mya but Mya dodged it quickly. Ed then turned around and Mya was behind him. Mya packed a punch on his back making him fall down.

Kagome gasped. Al tied Envy quickly and helped Ed in the fight. Al tried to grab Mya but she was so fast.

"You two are so freakin' slow." Mya smirked as she kept on dodging their attacks. Envy then struggled to untie himself and he did. Kagome turned around and Envy grabbed her from behind.

"LET ME GO!" Kagome shouted. Ed turned around, "KAGOME!" He then got punched in the back again. "Brother no!" Al then tried to strike Mya and he did. Straight on her face! Mya then collapsed on the floor with a big bruise on her face. Ed stood up. He was breathing heavily. Ed then turned to Envy who was holding Kagome.

"Y-you…" Ed glared at him. He then clapped his hands and put it on the grounds. All of the sudden the ground started to shake. Envy then look around with his eyes widened. Kagome shivered.

"What's happening…?" Kagome said as she looked at the ground. Then Ed ran to Kagome and grabbed her. "Kagome, do you know where the jewel is?" Ed asked. Kagome nodded, "A woman named Lust has it." The ground started shaking.

Ed, Al, and Kagome then went to track Lust around the building. "Ed what did you do?" Kagome asked. "I created an earthquake any sooner this building is about to collapse." Ed replied.

"You idiot! What if were trapped here!" Al yelled to his brother. "Don't worry I have an idea, but first we have to find Lust!" Ed replied with a smirk.

"I'm right here Full metal boy." Lust smirked as she held the jewel in her hands. "GIVE THE JEWEL NOW LUST!" Kagome yelled. Lust smiled in an evil way, she then put her hand up and created long nails with it. The nails then were about to strike Kagome but Ed came in front of her and guarded it with his metal arm.

"Why you…" Lust started getting angry. All of the sudden, Al grabbed her. "Sorry miss, but we need the jewel." Al said. Ed then grabbed the jewel. "COME ON AL AND KAGOME! FOLLOW ME!" Al dropped Lust hard on the ground as he followed the two.

"Ed where are you going?" Kagome asked as she ran with him. "Follow me, and hurry this building is about to collapse!" Ed then carried Kagome. Al followed them. The building started to break as the earthquake became worse.

-Outside-

The guards, Roy, Riza Hawkeye, and Hughes waited. Everyone looked at the building that was collapsing.

"They better get out of here." Roy looked up. He then looked at the building closely and saw in the window… Ed, Kagome, and Al!

Ed carried Kagome tight. "W-what are you doing Ed?" Kagome asked as she held tight to Ed. "Were going to jump down in that hay carriage." Ed pointed. Kagome's eyes widened, "You crazy?" Ed then jumped down as Kagome screamed. They both fell on the hay carriage followed by Al.

The guards approached the hay carriage with their guns up. Kagome, Ed, and Al popped out of the carriage. "Hello…" Ed waved. Kagome and Al looked nervously at the guards.

"Put your guns down!" Roy said as he approached the carriage. The guards put their guns down. Ed, Kagome, and Al looked at Roy nervously too. "Full metal, I see you did another dangerous thing…" Roy said to Ed.

"Uhh… yeah…" Ed replied and saluted.

-Later-

"Is the jewel safe?" Hughes asked Kagome. Kagome nodded, "Yeah…" She then held the jewel tight. The guards evacuated the building after it collapsed. They were searching for the 3 suspects that tried to capture the jewel but no corpse or anything were found.

"Did you find anything Colonel?" Riza asked.

"No, there's no corpse or anything." Roy replied.

"That's odd…" Riza said as she looked at the shattered building.

Ed also stared at the building; he was shocked that there was no corpse found. He then turned around; he knew that they might have gotten away again.

"Brother, are you alright?" Al asked as he approached his brother followed by Kagome.

"They got away again…" Ed whispered as he looked at the ground. Al and Kagome looked at Ed. Kagome was worried they might catch the jewel again…

Ed looked at Kagome. He knew that she was worried about him. "Kagome…" he said. Kagome looked at him, "Yes?" she asked. Ed then approached her and hugged her tightly. "I don't want to loose you," he whispered. Kagome blushed.

"Hey you two lovebirds." Roy said as he interrupted.

Kagome and Ed turned around. Roy then approached Kagome and whispered, "How come you fell in love with this shrimp?" he then pointed at Ed. Once again Ed heard him and…

"I AM NOT A SHRIMP!"

Me: HAHAHAAHAHHAHA!

Ed: Shut up!

Kagome: -Laughing- Ed that was so funny!

Ed: -About to erase the 'shrimp' part-

Al: -grabbed his brother- Brother stop it! If you erase that the story will be wrong!

Ed: LET ME GO! –Struggling free-

Me: PLEASE REVIEW AND NO FLAMES! SEE YOU SOON!
