Author's Notes: Back with another chapter! Hope you all enjoy this!
Chapter 18: Secrets and Answers-Alleyway-
Kikyo had just struck an arrow to Scar's arm; Scar's whole arm was bleeding. Scar tried to destroy the arrow but the magic was too strong. Kikyo lowered down her bow and arrow. She looked at Ed, Al, and Shippo. She then glared at Kagome with her cold eyes.
Ed turned around, his eyes soften and it was no longer Inuyasha's eyes anymore too. Kagome turned to Ed, "Ed, are you alright?" she asked. Ed nodded weakly as he tried to stand up but tripped instead.
"Ed, you shouldn't do that you'll hurt yourself…" Kagome whispered. Ed glanced at Al and Shippo. They were both hurt badly. Shippo had a big bruise in his cheek while Al's armor was broken. Metal parts were scattered everywhere, they mostly came from Al's armor.
Kikyo approached Ed slowly; she took out her extra robe and put it on him.
Ed felt warm and he sighed heavily. He turned to Kikyo and asked, "Who are you?" As Ed looked at Kikyo straight she looked like Kagome only a bit older. He noticed her eyes were cold and sad.
"Kikyo what are you doing here and what do you want?" Kagome asked as she glared at her.
Kikyo sighed and first introduced herself, "My name is Kikyo…"
Then it struck Ed, as if he met her from somewhere. Somewhere hidden like from long ago. Kikyo then looked at him, "Who are you too young one?" she asked. Ed tried to stand up but he was weak.
"My name is Edward Elric…"
Also something had struck Kikyo too. Her eyes widened, she sensed a spirit in him… like Inuyasha's… only more powerful…
Kagome was just glaring at Kikyo. "Okay this is enough, we should get going now before it starts raining!" Kagome is still angry with Kikyo. She still had flashbacks of her kissing Inuyasha and stealing his soul to go to hell with her.
Suddenly, cars came and guards came running out with guns. Roy, Hughes, Riza, and Havoc came running out. Everyone was just shocked. "Okay what happened here Fullmetal?" Roy asked as he looked at the blonde teen that had his metal arm broken.
"Long story…" Ed sighed and put on a weak nervous smile.
Scar then destroyed the arrow with his hand and was able to escape. "Colonel! Scar!" Riza yelled as she tried shooting him but he was too fast. "I will destroy you all!" Scar shouted and jumped on a building. He then disappeared.
"AL! SHIPPO!" Ed yelled as he weakly approached the two. Shippo was lying close to Al with some bruises. "Al is he alright?" Ed asked with a worried voice.
"Edward…"
A punch struck Ed's face making him fell to the ground. Kagome and everyone else sweat dropped. "YOU IDIOT! I TOLD YOU TO GET KAGOME AND RUN!" Al yelled as grabbed Ed.
"But what if you and Shippo were killed by Scar?" Ed said. "What if Shippo and I weren't killed? EDWARD YOU IDIOT IF YOU AND KAGOME DIE THEN WHO WILL RESEARCH THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE AND THE SHIKON JEWEL? IF YOU TWO DIE THEN SHIPPO AND I WILL BE THE ONLY ONE ALONE HERE! DO YOU WANT THAT TO HAPPEN? DO YOU WANT ME TO BE STUCK IN THIS BODY FOREVER?" Al yelled then his arm broke as he was grabbing Ed.
"MY ARM BROKE! ED YOU IDIOT!" Al sighed.
"I guess… I am… but the good thing is were…"
"Alive…" Ed and Al said at the same time.
-Headquarters: Outside-
Kagome was just looking at the stars again; it cleared up after they got back to HQ. It was really late but she wasn't tired. Kagome sighed and whispered, "What does Kikyo want from Ed? Something was there between them… they felt like they had seen each other before…"
"Kagome, you still there?" Ed asked as he came out. Behind him was Kikyo. Kagome smiled at Ed but when she glanced at Kikyo she just glared. Kikyo glared back. Ed looked at the two girls. He can tell there was electricity zapping at their eyes.
"Hey are you two sisters or something because you two almost look exactly alike except Kikyo is a bit older." Ed laughed nervously.
"No we are not sisters…" They both said at the same time and sweat dropped.
"I know there is something going between you two… what is it?" Ed asked as he crossed his arms. Kagome sighed, she didn't tell Ed that she was the reincarnation of Priestess Kikyo and Kikyo was her past self. She decided to leave that out but now she was confident enough to tell him.
"Ed, I haven't tell you this… I am Kikyo's reincarnation. Kikyo was my past life in the Feudal Era." Kagome confessed.
Ed's eyes widened as he looked at Kikyo. Kikyo nodded as well. "Yes… Edward."
"So how come Kikyo is still alive? Didn't she die already?" Ed asked with a confused face. "You only mentioned her Kagome, and you said she died and nothing else."
"Well, there was this witch who wanted to revive Kikyo so she decided to take her ashes and take half of my soul to revive her… so that's why she still wanders the earth." Kagome explained and glared at Kikyo. "She can also take souls like the one time she took Inuyasha's soul!"
Kikyo turned away from Kagome and sighed heavily.
"Inuyasha?" Ed repeated as if he heard that name before. Another powerful sense came to both Kikyo and Kagome. Kagome and Kikyo looked at each other. "Kikyo we need to talk…" Kagome whispered. Kikyo nodded but was a little unsure about this.
Kagome secretly dragged Kikyo far away from Ed who was busily looking at the stars.
"Kikyo… I don't know why this is happening but… whenever I go close to Ed now… there is a powerful spirit in him… like Inuyasha's…" Kagome explained. Kikyo nodded and glanced at Ed, "It can't be him…"
"Kikyo what do you mean? And why did you came here?" Kagome asked.
"I came here because I sense the same spirit force like Inuyasha's in another world… so I came here to see what it is…" Kikyo said as she looked at Ed. "When I met Ed, something had struck me… like I met him in the past… I also felt a powerful spirit too…" Kikyo explained. Kagome nodded with agreement
"It can't be it… it could be him…" Kikyo pointed to Ed. Kagome was a bit confused after Kikyo had said that. "Kikyo… what do you mean him?" Kikyo looked at Kagome with an annoyed face. "Kagome can't you see?" Kikyo whispered.
"That Edward Elric is Inuyasha's reincarnation."
Kagome's eyes widened, now she knew the answers why Ed has Inuyasha's eyes, fangs, and the sitting curse whenever he gets angry. "But… how?" Kagome asked. Kikyo looked at Kagome straight.
"Kagome, you did not know this… but I must tell you… when I was still alive Inuyasha held the Philosopher's Stone in his body… and I held the Shikon Jewel… Naraku then tried to get the two precious objects… his plan worked but getting the Shikon Jewel and the Philosopher's Stone did not work. When Inuyasha was put in deep sleep the Philosopher's Stone suddenly came out of his body and disappeared with half of his soul in it. His soul was once again reborn to Ed…" Kikyo continued.
"But what happened to the Philosopher's Stone?" Kagome asked with her eyes widened. "Right now I don't know… it didn't go with the soul though and it's not in Ed's body."
"One more question, why were you both reincarnated?" Kagome asked. Kikyo smiled, "Because we both vowed ourselves to see each other again in death but it changed, we were given another life…"
Kagome just gasped, "So it was true… Ed and I knew there was something going on… but we have to find the Philosopher's Stone to heal Inuyasha, he must not die you know…" Kagome frowned.
Kikyo was dead silent for a while but the she spoke, "Kagome, on your way to your journey with Al, Shippo, and Ed… you will have to overcome enemies…" Kikyo warned. "You mean the Dark Alchemists?" Kagome asked.
Kikyo nodded, "They are called the 7 sins… they are sent by Naraku long ago to stop you and Edward. They are also known as the next 7 Shichinin-tai… Band of Seven. They are all after the Shikon and the Philosopher's Stone. You must very careful Kagome please…"
Kagome shook her head meaning yes.
"Kikyo? Kagome? Come on we have to go inside… it's getting late." Ed yawned as he went back to HQ.
Kikyo and Kagome followed him as well.
-In A Dark Place-
Lust came up to the middle of the dark room with a mirror in her hands. "Master, we have tried to capture Kagome and the Jewel but we have failed." She said to the mirror. An image appeared of Naraku. "Then you must try to stop her again… and the Inuyasha's reincarnation…"
Lust's eyes widened.
Envy came running to the middle of the dark room, "What do you mean that dog demon's reincarnation? You didn't tell us he had a reincarnation, second life, and a new body!" Envy complained.
"Shut up you idiot!" Lust bonk Envy's head and sighed. "Master, who is that dog demon's reincarnation?" Lust asked.
"Edward Elric…" Naraku replied.
Author's Notes: Just to tell you people:
Edward- Inuyasha
Kagome- Kikyo
7 sins- 7 soldiers called Shichinin-tai or Band of Seven (Is that what it is?)
