The Quest: Philosopher's Stone

Author's Notes: A character from FMA pops up right here! But just read, I don't feel like spoiling it to you.

Kagome: Who is it?

Me: You'll see… but Kagome, I warn you… you might be a bit jealous… and heartbroken…

Also to note readers: Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango must stay in the Feudal Era because demons might attack the Sacred Well or something else. In later chapters they might come to the FMA world to save Kagome and the others from this enemy so be patient!

Chapter 12: Welcome Winry!

-Alleyway-

The gang just stared at the remains of the poor chimera. Tears fell in each one of their eyes. Shippo hugged Kagome, "I thought everything would be… alright…" Shippo sniffed. Kagome hugged Shippo back, "Yes I know…" Kagome sighed sadly.

Ed and Al just stared more. Ed was crying a bit now. "Nina… Alexander…" he whispered as he knelt on the ground. Kagome looked at Ed who was really in pain. He lost another one of his friends… like his mother.

Al just stared, his soul was crying loudly inside his armor.

Everyone was just full with tears…

Suddenly, a limo-like car pulled up. Hughes went out of the car with some guards. The guards hold up their guns but lowered when they saw the blood shed wall. The gang turned around. Kagome wiped her tears and stood up carrying Shippo.

"What happened here?" Hughes asked. Kagome frowned and looked at the ground. Hughes understood that it was tragic.

-In the Car-

The guards then helped the gang back in the car. Ed felt so guilty being a National Alchemist. Kagome saw his sadness and frowned. She then looked at Shippo who was on her lap… dead silent.

Al who was also silent… He felt so hurt inside…

Everyone was just so upset on what happened to his or her own friend… Nina. The dog too…

-Headquarters: Ed and Kagome's room-

Kagome was a bit silent and was looking at Ed. Ed was staring at the window; he was so depressed still and miserable. Kagome frowned, she too was a bit sad. She then took out the Shikon Jewel out of her pocket and looked at it. She then took out the other 2 shards.

She hadn't combined them yet, but she'll think about it later.

"Kagome…" Ed said as he was still looking out the window.

Kagome looked at him, "Yes Ed?" Ed turned around with his golden-eyes full of sadness, "What did you feel when you saw the…" he was cut-off when someone knocked on the door.

"Come in." Ed said. The door opened and their Shippo came in quietly. Shippo had a letter in his hand.

Ed tried to smile to make Shippo cheer up, "Hey Shippo, what is it?" he asked as he knelt down to his size so he can look at him straight. "Ed, this was from Roy. You have message from your friend."

Ed looked at it… it was from Winry! "A letter from Winry great!" Kagome looked at Ed blankly. She was a bit curious who this Winry is…

"Ed, who's Winry?" Kagome asked curiously. Ed turned around with a weak smile. "She's my childhood best friend! She's really nice, and she was the one who made this metal arm for me. She's like the greatest person!" Ed opened the letter.

Kagome suddenly felt a bit… well… jealous inside. "Oh…" Kagome then looked down the floor. Ed then read the letter and smiled, "She's coming here to visit tomorrow and we have to pick her up! Isn't that cool Kagome? You'll get to meet her!" Ed smiled.

"Wait till I tell Alphonse!" Ed ran out of the room. Shippo then glanced at Kagome, "Kagome, is there something wrong?" he asked and looked at her. Kagome snapped out of it.

"Oh nothing Shippo, just deep thoughts about usual!" Kagome put on a fake smiled as she sat on the bed. "I can't wait till I meet this Winry girl that Ed was talking about, I hope she's nice." Shippo grinned and left.

Kagome looked at Shippo while he left, she was beginning to feel hurt inside…

Edward…

Kagome stood up and looked at the window. The rain was still pouring as Kagome felt hurt and a bit jealous inside.

-That Night-

Kagome couldn't sleep, she was still thinking about this Winry girl that Ed was talking about. She felt like Winry was taking her friends away from her. Her eyes felt with worry and a bit of envy added to it.

She looked at Ed who was asleep soundly. When he heard that Winry was coming, he already felt happy not depressed as if he forgotten everything about Nina and Alexander getting killed.

Edward… will you still love me?

She turned around and drifted to sleep once again. Still thinking about Winry and Edward…

-Next Morning: Train station-

Kagome and Shippo decided to come with Edward and Alphonse to meet Winry Rockbell. Shippo was in Ed's arm since he wants a close look of the new girl. Ed and Al were excited. Shippo was just a bit curious.

Kagome sat down on the bench. She felt a bit left out from her friends.

Suddenly the train doors open and a young teenage girl stepped out. The girl had long blonde hair, blue eyes, and was wearing a sundress. She was also wearing a hat and was holding a bag.

"EDWARD HI!" She smiled.

"Hey Winry!" Ed smiled and waved. Shippo then look at Winry blankly, Winry reminded him of Kagome a bit.

"Hello Winry." Al said from behind. Winry waved at Al and grinned. Kagome just looked at Winry and stood up. Winry then saw Shippo and giggled, "Hi there what's your name?" Winry asked. Shippo blushed, "Shippo…"

"You look so adorable!" Winry laughed she then saw Kagome. Winry was a bit puzzled, "Edward, who is that girl?" she asked. Ed then blushed lightly, "Oh her name is Kagome Higurashi. She's one of my friends!"

Kagome smiled nervously, "Hi nice to meet you Winry." Kagome shook hands with Winry and smiled. Winry turned to Ed, "Ed is she your…"

"Not my girlfriend! Just friends!" Ed blushed lightly. Kagome blushed more. Al and Shippo just giggled. "Hey what about we go eat somewhere?" Al suggested. Everyone nodded at Al's plan.

The gang left while Kagome stayed behind.

Why am I like this? I mean… Winry is just visiting, but why do I feel like this is her fault?

Edward… Alphonse… Shippo…

Ed noticed that Kagome was behind them. He turned to her. "Kagome, is there something wrong?" he asked as he walked next to her. Kagome then looked at him, "Oh nothing's wrong!" her voice quivered.

Ed noticed something…

Something is wrong…

"Kagome, you can tell me what's up and about with your thoughts because when Winry was here, you started becoming silent…" Ed said, as he looked straight into Kagome's eyes.

Kagome looked straight back, "Nothing's wrong Ed. I told you. Nothing is wrong! Let's just have fun with Winry okay?" Kagome put on a fake weak smile. Ed glanced at her; he knew something is totally wrong…

Kagome: -a bit jealous-

Me: I told you Kagome, but in the next one… you'll be more…

Kagome: Don't spoil it…

Me: Please review guys! Chapter 13: Memories and Heartbreaks is coming soon! See you real soon!
