The Quest: Philosopher's Stone

Author's Notes: Chapter 21 is here. I hope you all enjoy!

Answering Reviews…. (I'm answering reviews now if anyone is confused)

Neros Urameshi: I know. We all know that Koga got told! He needs to be mature and let Kagome decided for herself not him. Also Naraku doesn't have Kohaku and Kagura here in this story, they will be in the upcoming sequel. I know lots and lots of servants! Naraku was the one who got the Philosopher's Stone when Inuyasha released it out of his body. Ed might sacrifice himself… who knows? Also the final battle will be very bloody…

Silver pendant: The guy in the book wasn't Ed it was a slight mistake. He looked like him, but isn't really him. Everyone believed it was Ed but it was false. Sorry about the slight mistake, I was planning it to be Ed is someone else's reincarnation but I changed the idea it. I might change it later on.

Crazyanimefreak15: A very bad situation, yes very bad! I don't know how they will stop them… there shall be hope though… Thanks for the review!

Inuyasha Friend: Thanks for all your reviews; I know I'll keep it up!

Thanks for all the other reviewers who aren't listed here!

Now on with the story!

Chapter 21: Kanna's Appearance

-Winry's House-

The girls were busily talking about love life, boys, and adventures. They all liked to giggle and laugh a bit. "Kagome, you really love Ed do you?" Winry asked as she looked at the teen girl. "Yeah I guess, but I still like Inuyasha…" Kagome looked at the dog-demon who was lying on bed.

"What about you and Miroku, Sango?" Winry asked. Sango blushed red, "Well me and Miroku… I don't know really!" Kagome, Kikyo, and Winry giggled. Kikyo was so happy that she felt she wasn't miserable anymore. She felt alive and happy with her new friends.

"He is a bit charming but a pervert…" Sango sighed as she drank tea. Winry laughed, "Kikyo how about you, you have a very interesting life." Kikyo smiled, "Well it's a bit confusing for you to understand really…"

Winry was sort of making a new metal arm for Ed. She shined it with oil and put some metal and screws in it. She was almost done. "Wow Winry, your machine is going to be great, what is it again?" Sango asked as she helped Winry shine the metal-arm.

"It's called auto-mail, auto-mail is for men, women, girls, and boys to have if they broke or lost their limbs or something like that. It's really great." Winry explained. Kagome and Kikyo looked at it curiously.

"Winry, I saw one guy had a gun for an arm. Why do people do that?" Kagome asked as she had memories of a guy with a gun as an arm. Winry frowned, "Because they do that for violence, I really hate people doing that…" Kagome looked at Winry, she really was worried about people with that kind of auto-mail.

Suddenly, someone broke the window from outside. It was Major Armstrong who accidentally punched Winry's window. Inuyasha was awoken by the sound of the shattered window. "Mister Armstrong please watch out! Tell the other boys to spar somewhere else safe please!" Winry demanded. "Yes Miss Rockbell!" Armstrong said politely.

Winry sighed, "Boys, you know how rude they are! Now what am I going to do with this window?" Inuyasha then stood up and did alchemy without a transmutation circle. Kagome and the other girls were shocked. The window was newly fixed! "He can do alchemy?" Winry asked.

"I never saw Inuyasha do that before…" Kagome and Kikyo both said at the same time.

"His mother showed him alchemy. When she was left with him, she taught him alchemy to defend himself when he was child." Sango explained. Kagome looked at Sango, "But I thought his mother was an ordinary human." Kikyo then chimed in the conversation, "But, his mother was one of the greatest alchemist ever, even his father…"

"His father?" Kagome, Sango, and Winry's eyes widened. (A/N: Winry knows about Inuyasha's family too.)

"Yes, Inuyasha's father may be a demon… but he was actually one of the famous alchemists in the Feudal Era. Then he disappeared leaving Inuyasha's mother with Inuyasha." Kikyo explained.

"Why hadn't Inuyasha tell all these family things?" Sango asked the miko. Kikyo frowned, "Because it was a painful memory for Inuyasha. When he was a child, his mother died. He wanted to resurrect her but he only got hurt, he almost lost both of his arm and leg off… luckily his father came and stopped the transmutation." Kikyo explained.

"Poor Inuyasha…" Winry sighed. Kagome noticed something… Ed had the same painful memory. His father disappeared and left to be taken care of by his mother. Then his mother died and he wanted to resurrect her with human transmutation. It was all like Inuyasha but Inuyasha didn't lose his arm and leg.

"Ed's childhood memory is almost alike with Inuyasha's, but the only difference is that Inuyasha didn't loose his limbs and Inuyasha's father came to stop the transmutation but Ed's father didn't." Kagome explained.

"So it is true that Ed is really Inuyasha's reincarnation." Sango agreed. Winry nodded with agreement.

"I am almost done with his arm, just a little adjustment in the hands." Winry said as she screwed the bolt in a finger. Kagome, Kikyo, and Sango looked at the metal arm closely it was fixed like in half an hour.

"Finally! It's finish!" Winry's eyes sparkled as she held up the shiny metal arm. "I show you… WINRY ROCKBELL'S AUTO-MAIL ARM!" The other girls sweat dropped and giggle.

-Outside of Winry's House-

"Come on boys fight!" Armstrong said as he flexed his body. Miroku, Koga, Shippo, Al, and Ed sweat dropped as Armstrong did his muscle flexes. "Who is this guy Edward?" Miroku asked. Ed groaned, "My annoying bodyguard…" Ed sighed as he sat cross-legged on the floor. Miroku did as well.

Now they were watching Koga spar with Armstrong. They were punching, kicking, and making their own moves. "Come wolf prince!" Armstrong smirks. Koga tried punching and striking him but he kept dodging. Al was cheering with Shippo. Ed and Miroku were just watching quietly.

"Damn it I got to hit you for I am Koga!" Koga smirked as he tried hitting Armstrong but still he kept missing. Ed, Al, Miroku, and Shippo sweat dropped when Koga said that.

"Hey brother, check if Winry has your arm ready." Al suggested. "Yeah great idea Al." Ed smiled as he walked inside the house, before he went in there was a big bang. He looked back and saw Armstrong squashed Koga on the ground. Everyone was laughing at the scene. Ed chuckled as he went inside.

-In Winry's House-

"Hey Ed!" The girls greeted with a smile. "Hey, umm… Winry… do you have my arm ready?" Ed asked. Winry nodded, "Yes I have it ready, shined, and new! Now Ed please lay on the other couch and I will get the tools."

Ed lay on the couch and relaxed. He looked across to the other couch where Inuyasha lay asleep. The other girls had left outside to see what the boys are doing and it was just Inuyasha and Edward.

Inuyasha then grunted and opened his eyes. He turned his head weakly to Ed. Ed turned to Inuyasha.

"I see your arm is getting ready for… fixing." Inuyasha smirked. "It looks so stupid…" Inuyasha groaned. "Just be quiet…" Ed sighed and glared at Inuyasha. "I'm sure you look more weaker with that illness of yours." Ed countered.

"Oh shut up…" Inuyasha growled.

Even though they both are the same person who has a half-soul they still act the same as the other. "So Edward, my reincarnation… what happened to both your arm and leg?" Inuyasha asked weakly. "I tried to use Human Transmutation to bring back my dead mother with Al… but I paid the price…" Ed frowned.

Inuyasha was a bit shock, "I did the same thing… but I almost lost my two limbs too… when I tried resurrecting my mother, my father was able to stop the transmutation."

"Good thing your father's there because my father never came back, he just abandons us!" Ed groaned as he waited for Winry to come in with her tools.

Winry finally came in and Inuyasha pretended to sleep but he secretly watch as Winry tried to put connect the auto-mail arm to Ed's body. Ed knew that Inuyasha was watching him. Ed glared at Inuyasha; Inuyasha just smirked and turned around not facing Ed.

"Almost done Ed!" Winry said as she smiled. "Fine just fucking hurry up!" Ed shouted, Winry was pissed off and instead she bonked his head with a wrench. Ed winced, "WHAT THE FUCKING HELL WAS THAT FOR?"

Inuyasha laughed quietly while he was sleeping he can totally hear Ed's loud mouth potty voice.

"Oh shut up jackass, I'm trying to fix your arm." Winry shouted and sighed. Kagome entered, "Hey guys, what's going on? I can hear yelling from outside." Winry looked at Kagome, "It's because Ed here is being a loud mouth cursing device! Here, you're done now go run off outside with the others!" Winry sighed as she put away her tools.

"FINALLY! I'M FUCKING OUT OF HERE!" Ed shouted but got hit on the head with wrench again!

Kagome looked at Ed as he left the door then she glanced at Inuyasha who was sleeping quietly. Kagome shrugged and went outside.

-Outside-

"PERVERT!"

A loud slap was heard from outside, Kagome came out just in time to see what's going on. Sango was bonking Miroku on the head again but this time she borrowed Winry's wrench. Miroku was totally hurt.

"What did he do this time?" Kagome asked trying not to laugh. Miroku always does these perverted things to every girl he sees, such as Sango. "THERE SHALL BE NO PERVERT!" Armstrong yelled as he stretched his muscles again. Everyone just laughed.

All of the sudden, as everyone was laughing a bright blue glow appeared in Winry's house. Everyone looked at the house. It was glowing brightly. "What's happening in there?" Shippo asked as he jumped on Ed's shoulder. "I don't know, come on guys let's check it out!" Ed then went in followed by the others.

-In The House-

In the living room, everyone saw a little girl that looks about seven-years-old. The girl was like an albino child. Her face had no emotion what so ever. The girl had long whitish-silver hair and her eyes were black like it was a void.

The girl also held a mirror in her arms. Also in front of her was Inuyasha floating!

"Kanna…" Miroku whispered with his eyes widened. Winry was behind her in shock, she was also holding a tray of food that she dropped on the floor. "Who is that girl?" Winry asked quietly.

Ed then spotted something glowing in her neck, it was red and it was glowing brightly… he knew what it was…

"A Philosopher's Stone Shard…"

Author's Notes: Kanna is here! Big trouble, what's she going to do and why does she have Inuyasha floating in front of her? What does she want? Stay tuned and please review!
