Answering Reviews:

Lycosyncer: Mostly all Kagome centered stories always start with a betrayal. I just didn't like it that much. Most of the stories are all Betrayal Fiction I found. So I decided to make a story that is not a betrayal fiction. I had an idea, "What if Inuyasha has this illness and the only thing that can cure it is The Philosopher's Stone!" I was about to plan a betrayal fiction until this idea popped into my head. So Kagome and Shippo work together with Edward and Alphonse. At the journey, Kagome started to fall for Edward and Ed too. Then she finds out that Ed was Inuyasha's reincarnation. So that is what I planned which totally did work. Thanks for the review!

Neros Urameshi: I don't know if Kagome, Edward, and his friends would destroy a powerful demon Ryuukosei… but we shall see in the Final Battle, which is about to come… Oh and sadly I don't know if Kagome is going to kiss Inuyasha, there is going to be something different… Kikyo is not going to kiss Inuyasha just a hint! Ed is going to try to do something for Inuyasha to live more but what? Well you have to find out soon!

Kenastar101: KYU? XD!

Faded Moonlight: Yes I planned it all in the beginning to make a story like this!

Thanks for all the ones who reviewed; I can't list them all you know! I got 160 Reviews yes!

NOTE: This is my idea of the plot; do not steal my idea got it? Just make your own Plot on your own story, but if you need some help making one I can just give you some ideas so don't steal my plot and idea for this crossover!


Chapter 23: Attack!

-Kagome and Ed-

"This cave is sure getting darker…" Kagome whispered, as she stayed close behind Ed. Ed grabbed a torch from a pillar as they were in the cave. "Damn… we have to find Inuyasha soon and defeat this Kanna girl and another sin called Wrath." Ed whispered as he tried to light the cave more.

As they were passing by Kagome spotted an arrow on the wall, she was confused why the arrow was there but she grabbed it anyway for battle time. The cave was getting darker and deeper. Ed was trying to light the cave more.

The two then saw transmutation circles drawn on the walls of the cave. Ed looked at them closely; they were the most odd Transmutation Circles he had ever saw. When he was about to touch one a dagger swift by him.

"What the fuck?"

Suddenly a man came out, he was wearing a pink kimono which had leaves decorated on them. He had a sword in his hand. He also had like marks on his eyes and his hair was pulled up into a ponytail. Next to him was a man who was surely one of the homunculi.

"Who are all of you?" Kagome asked with a face full of fear.

"Call me Greed." Greed introduced as he smirked. "My name is Jyokotsu!" The man said who had his sword ready. Both of them had the shards of the Philosopher's Stone. Kagome and Ed's eyes widened with fear, but Ed refused to be scared he transformed his metal arm once again as a blade.

Kagome got her bow and arrows ready for the attack…

-Winry, Alphonse, and Shippo-

Winry had Shippo in her arms while Al was in front of them. He had a torch too so he could light up the whole cave for it was dark. Shippo was shivering and was hugging Winry tight. "Shippo don't worry, were right here… nothing is going to happen ok?" Winry whispered so Shippo would calm down.

"But…" Shippo gulped, "What if someone attacks us?"

"He has a point Alphonse…" Winry said as she looked at Al who was very cautious. Winry stayed quiet as she held Shippo tight. Winry then spotted a medium Hiakotsu hanging on the wall of the cave, she was so curious…

She needed a weapon anyway.

There were also other weapons in the cave walls but Winry grabbed the medium hiakotsu (which was not as big as Sango's) "Hey that's the same weapon that Sango has!" Shippo said. Winry nodded, "Yeah, maybe I can try this weapon a bit." Al looked at Winry who had a hiakotsu.

"Are you sure you know how to use that?" Al asked. Winry shrugged, "No, but I sense I can use this weapon that Sango called a hiakotsu." Al thought it wasn't a good idea but he let Winry have it anyway. As they were walking the walls were carved with Transmutation Circles. Al looked at one and he never saw it. He wanted to touch it but a long nail swift by him and hit the wall.

Winry gasped so did Shippo. A woman approached them. She was pretty and sexy. Her long black wavy hair was up to her back and her piercing purplish eyes stared at them. Next to her was a man with green hair, he also had big muscles too, and he was just huge and strong! His teeth were all fangs and were very sharp.

Al knew who the woman was. It was Lust. But he didn't know the big man next to him…

"Hello there Alphonse, Winry, and Shippo. My name is Lust, and this is my fellow partner… Kyokotsu." Lust introduced. Kyokotsu growled at them. Winry put Shippo on a safe place and got her hiakotsu she found. Al was in his fighting pose already. Lust and Kyokotsu were ready to attack them so they strike!

-Miroku and Sango-

Sango was in her fighting clothes and has her large hiakotsu behind her back. Miroku held a torch and he held his staff tight. "It's pretty dark here… light the whole cave will you Miroku?" Sango asked. Miroku sighed, "Yes my dear Sango." Sango blushed at that comment and slapped him again. Miroku had another slap mark on his cheek.

"Don't ever call me dear okay?" Sango yelled at him with red tints on her cheeks.

"Well I am sorry Sango…" Miroku closed his eyes and light up the torch more. They passed by some hanging weapons that were on the wall. They also came across the carvings of Transmutation circles. Miroku and Sango examined them closely, Miroku saw all the transmutation circles in a book he read that he borrowed from Edward but he never saw these kinds.

"I wonder what kind of circles are these?" Miroku whispered, as he was about to touch one a bullet swift by him and hit the wall. "What was that?" Miroku whispered as he looked in front of him. He saw Ginkotsu!

Next to Ginkotsu was a man who seems to look like he was 40 is something. He had a patch on his left eye and he was wearing a black t-shirt and black pants. He was another one of the sins.

"Hello there monk and slayer! You all know me but this man next to me is named Pride the great!" Ginkotsu smirked. Pride smirked also as he grabbed his two swords behind him. Ginkotsu got his guns ready to shoot them both. Sango got her hiakotsu ready and Kirara (I forgot to introduce her) jumped out behind her back and transformed.

Miroku got his staff ready and his wind tunnel ready to strike them all. Ginkotsu and Pride smirk and strike them…

-Koga and Kikyo-

Koga was leading Kikyo through the cave to find a way out. He was also holding a torch to light up the way. Kikyo got her arrows ready if there was any attack that was coming. Koga remained cautious on what's going to happen but first he wants to sweet talk Kikyo, "So Kikyo, you look very beautiful today I see… you almost look like Kagome…" Koga smirked.

Kikyo frowned and bonked him on the head with her fist. Koga winced, "Why is everyone bonking me today?" Then they spotted some transmutation circles carved on the wall. With curiosity Koga approached one of them and looked at them closely, "Wow these are the freaky circles that Al draws on the ground."

He was about to touch one until someone threw a rock on Koga's head. Koga winced, "Kikyo did you do that… again?" Koga spotted Kikyo was paralyzed and next to her was a rather small man with a veil over his face like a mask. Next to the man was a big fat guy. It was one of the sins again. "Hello their Koga my name is Mukotsu, nice to meet you. This is my friend Gluttony…" the man smirked.

Koga got into his fighting pose and smirked, "My pleasure!"

-Back to Kagome and Ed-

"Damn it!" Ed's eyes turned into Inuyasha's and as he was grinding his teeth, it showed little fangs. Jyokotsu's eyes widened, "So it is true that you are Inuyasha's reincarnation!" Ed smirked, "Yes I am now die you filthy thing!" Ed then slashed Jyokotsu's waist but no blood came out. Ed's eyes widened.

Kagome was trying to aim for Greed but he was too fast. Suddenly Greed sneak up behind her and grabbed her. Kagome choked, "Ed…" Ed glanced back at Kagome. "Kagome!" He tried to run back but Jyokotsu grabbed him. "You're not going anywhere!" Ed struggled to get free but then he accidentally took the red shard of Jyokotsu. Jyokotsu started to glow red and suddenly he became dust.

"What the hell?"

Ed approached the dust but it blew away and it revealed a red shard. Ed picked it up; it was part of the Philosopher's Stone. He glanced at Kagome who struggled free, "KAGOME!" Ed ran and kicked Greed on the face.

Greed collapsed on the ground and Kagome tried to stand up. Ed helped her up, Kagome grabbed her bow and arrow. "Ed how did you destroy Jyokotsu?" Kagome asked.

Ed held up a shard of the Philosopher's Stone, "By this, you have to grab the Philosopher Stone out of their necks and they will eventually disappear because that is how they live." Ed explained. Kagome looked at Greed who was about to stand up. She ran and grabbed the Philosopher's Stone Shard out of his neck.

She then grabbed her arrow and shot Greed in the heart. Greed then spit out some black blood and suddenly transformed into dust. Kagome picked up the red shard and suddenly the red blood shard turned into a light reddish-pinkish shard. Kagome became confused.

"Hey I purified it!" Kagome said as she held up the red stone. Ed then gave her the other shard and Kagome also purified it. "So you can purify the Philosopher's Stone too?" Ed asked. Kagome shrugged, "I guess since I am a Miko."

Ed then saw light in the distance, "Hey Kagome look! Light! Come on!" He then pulled Kagome to the light, which was there only way out of the cave. Then the transmutation circles started to glow unknowingly and the cave started to pulse.

"What's happening?" Kagome shouted as she held tight to Ed. "I don't know what the fucking hell this is but we just have to…"

The ground shattered and both Kagome and Ed fell. Kagome screamed and Ed grabbed her. "Just hold on!" They both closed their eyes as they fell…

-Back to Winry, Al, and Shippo-

"FOX FIRE!" Shippo then had blue fire coming out of his hands, the fire then spread to Lust. Lust's face burned as she screamed like hell. "HIAKOTSU!" Winry shouted. Then the hiakotsu hit Lust's back as she fell on the ground. The hiakotsu then spin back to Winry… Winry became confused, "How did I do that?" (A/N: You know whom she was reincarnated from…)

After Lust was hit, the Philosopher's Stone Shard fell off her neck. She started to shake and she became weak without it. Shippo grabbed the red shard and put it in his pocket. Winry grabbed her dagger and shot it to Lust's heart. Lust spit out blood everywhere. Winry pushed the dagger in more. Lust then collapsed in the ground…

Dead…

She started to shake and she became dust. Winry and Shippo became confused how she became dust. "That was weird…" Winry sighed and looked back at Al who was fighting Kyokotsu. Kyokotsu grabbed Al and tried to destroy his armor. Winry grabbed her hiakotsu and started swinging at Kyokotsu. Kyokotsu's head got hit and fell.

Kyokotsu still didn't give up; he tried to stand up but was kicked down by Al's foot. Kyokotsu growled, "You will never destroy the powerful Kyokotsu!" Al's soul in the armor smirked, he then grabbed Winry's dagger and shot it through his chest. Kyokotsu's eyes widened as blood spit out everywhere.

Shippo jumped in front of him and grabbed the red shard off his neck. It was still glowing red as ever. "I guess it's still glowing for some reason…" Shippo said as he put the shard in his pocket.

"Now we have to find somewhere to get out and quick before more bad guys come in our way!" Al suggested as he started to find a way out of the cave. Winry carried Shippo on her shoulder and held the medium hiakotsu in her hand.

"What about these Transmutation circles Al? Probably they are the keys to get out of this cave." Winry approached one and was about to touch it but it started to glow. All the other transmutation circles started glowing too. The room started to pulse and created an earthquake kind of shake.

"What's happening Winry?" Shippo shivered, as he held tight on Winry's shoulder. "I don't know Shippo!" Winry replied and screamed. Al then grabbed Winry. "Just hold on guys!" The ground then shattered, Winry and Shippo screamed but Al didn't he just closed his "eyes".

The three fell into a hole…

-Back to Miroku and Sango-

The two were having a hard time beating the two evil guys. Miroku tried wind tunnel at them but it couldn't work since Pride has these poisonous smoke in his body. Sango and Kirara tried to attack Ginkotsu but his guns were like… strong.

Kirara then started flaming the guns of Ginkotsu. Ginkotsu winced and he accidentally dropped his gun. Sango grabbed the gun and destroyed it by breaking it in half. Kirara then strike Ginkotsu and flamed his face, his mask broke. Ginkotsu shouted in pain.

Miroku was still trying to stop Pride until he saw the red shard embedded into his neck. Miroku got the idea were Pride is getting powerful…

"The Red Shard." Miroku whispered.

He then tried to attack Pride from behind but first he grabbed the red shard embedded in his neck. Miroku then punched his face and Pride collapsed on the ground. He started feeling weak. Miroku grabbed a sharp rock on the floor a pierced it through Pride's heart.

Blood shed out, Pride yelled like hell and finally died. Miroku put the shard in his pocket and tried to help Sango. "SANGO TRY AND GRABBED THE RED SHARD! IT'S ON HIS NECK!" Miroku shouted. Sango nodded and ordered Kirara to get the red shard as she tried to attack Ginkotsu with her hiakotsu from behind.

Kirara grabbed the red shard off his neck. Ginkotsu then felt weak… Sango then hit him with her hiakotsu from behind. Ginkotsu then fell on the ground… weak. Kirara then attack him with its fire attack. Fire burned all over Ginkotsu…

He was burned alive.

Miroku and Sango had all bruises on their faces. Miroku even had a scar on his hand. It was from Pride's swords. Sango then came a bandaged it with her ribbon. "Thank you Sango." Miroku smiled, Sango blushed lightly. Kirara transformed back and went on Sango's shoulder.

The three then were on their way to find a way out and also find the others. Kirara then spotted a Transmutation Circle glowing. Kirara then yelled to signal the circle glowing. "What is it Kirara?" Sango asked. She then spotted all the circles glowing. Miroku did too.

The ground started to pulse like it was an earthquake. Then it shattered, Miroku, Sango, and Kirara both fell into the ground…

-Back to Kikyo and Koga-

Koga started destroying Gluttony but he was too fast… and too fat. Kikyo was still paralyzed but it was only her legs. She was able to shoot arrows still. She tried aiming it on Mukotsu but he was fast for a little guy.

Koga then saw a red shard glowing on Gluttony's neck. He tried to strike Gluttony but his long tongue grabbed him. "Yuck, you little disgusting freak!" Koga then grabbed his little sword and cut of his tongue. Gluttony yelled, "My tongue!" Koga then ran fast and punched him on the stomach.

Kikyo then saw a red glowing shard on Mukotsu's neck. Kikyo first tried to kill him before grabbing the red shard. She aimed carefully to his eye. She then got ready and shot it.

PLICK!

"No my eye!" Blood shed out of his right eye. Kikyo crawled and grabbed the red shard. She then punched him on the face. Mukotsu collapsed on the ground. "Ouch…" Kikyo winced as she shook her hand back and forth by the punch.

Koga then jumped on Gluttony and put his "poisonous" dagger into his mouth. Tons of blood shed out of his mouth. Koga then stepped back as Gluttony exploded. Blood came spitting out. Kikyo then looked at the red shard and it changed color a bit. It was light pinkish-red now. She purified it.

Then Kikyo's paralyzed legs faded and she was able to stand up. "That was weird and disgusting…" Koga said as he carried Kikyo on his back. (A/N: No, Kikyo isn't falling in love with Koga, she's with Inuyasha.)

As they were walking to find a way out the ground started to pulse. They both look around and saw all the Transmutation Circles glowing brightly. Kikyo gasped and Koga held her tight. The ground shattered and the both fell in.

The both screamed and closed their eyes as they fell…

-Naraku's Throne-

Kagome was the first one to wake up from her unconsciousness. She looked around and saw pillars all over the place. She looked at the front and there she saw Naraku sitting down with a smirk. Above him was the biggest Transmutation Circle ever. Ed and the others woke up.

"Ed look…" Kagome pointed at Naraku and the circle. Ed's eyes widened. The others did as well.

"Naraku…" Ed whispered as if he knew him from the past. Kagome looked at Ed, his eyes turned into Inuyasha's.

"I see… Inuyasha's reincarnation has finally come to fight!" Naraku smirked. Envy, Kanna, Bankotsu, Wrath, Suikotsu, and Renkotsu came with smirks (except Kanna). The gang's eyes widened as they saw all of them had the red shards. "Shit…" Koga and Ed said at the same time.

Kikyo then spotted Inuyasha at the corner of the room. He was dying…

"Everyone look its Inuyasha!" Kikyo pointed with a worried face. Everyone looked at Inuyasha they have to save him… Ed then got into his fighting pose and everyone did as well. He then growled,

"It's time fight!"
