Chapter 26: One More Chance

-Naraku's Throne-

Kagome approached the dead Ed on the ground. His eyes were still open it was a void and it was emotionless. She kneeled down next to his lifeless body. Tears formed into here eyes and all her tears fell down on his body. "Edward… you can't leave us…"

Kagome cried and was full of sadness.

Kikyo and Inuyasha approached poor Kagome and kneeled down next to Ed's body. Kikyo was also crying at this scene, he sacrificed himself to save them. For the first time, Inuyasha was crying hard. Inuyasha formed tears of sadness for the first time. He then formed a fist.

"Damn you Naraku…" he whispered angrily trying not to cry. Kikyo hugged Kagome tightly as she too cried at the scene. Kagome put her hand on his head. He was cold. She then felt his blonde-golden hair… It was still soft. Kagome couldn't take it, she cried.

"Edward please come back, don't leave… me…" Kagome then hugged Ed, she didn't even care if he was bloody… she just wants to be with him…

-In Some Pure Light Place-

Ed stood there he was full with tears. He looked at his body; it had a hole in it… "I did protect them," he said with tears. He looked around; it was a pure light place. Then suddenly the scene changed. Ed was on a hill next to a tree. He saw in the distance there was temple.

"Where am I?" Ed whispered. He saw the beauty around him… it was like heaven. Ed touched the soft green grass under him.

"This place… it's like the Feudal Era…" Ed sighed and smells the breeze.

"Yes it is Edward…"

A woman's voice said from behind, Ed turned around and saw a woman that was wearing armor. She had long black raven hair and brown soft calming eye. She also had a weird mark on her forehead.

"Who are you?" Ed asked with a confused face.

"I am Midoriko." The woman said and smiled warmly at him.

"Midoriko… haven't I heard about you before?" Ed asked. Midoriko looked at him with her serious eyes. "Edward come with me, I must tell you something," the woman said.

Ed felt uneasy about this but followed her with hope…

Then they came across a large door… Ed looked at it; it was carved with thousands of Transmutation Circles. "Midoriko, what is this?" Ed asked. "This is the Door of Alchemy, I am the guardian of this door." Midoriko explained.

Ed became confused, "The door of Alchemy…" he whispered. Midoriko then looked at Ed, "Edward, your not ready yet…"

"What do you mean?" Ed asked.

"Your not ready to die yet… Kagome and everyone else needs you…" Midoriko smiled. Ed's eyes widened. "Kagome…" he whispered. Midoriko then held out her hand at him. "Come Ed, it's time for you to go back…"

Ed smiled with confidence and took her hand. It started glowing and then the door opened. Light illuminated everywhere. Ed closed his eyes.

"I am coming back everyone…"

-Naraku's Throne-

Kagome was crying hard until she noticed Ed was glowing. Kagome's eyes widened so did Inuyasha's and Kikyo's. Then a transmutation circle appeared under him, it was a weird one. Kagome, Kikyo, and Inuyasha stepped back… Ed's body started to glow and the same transmutation circle appeared in his forehead.

Kikyo then saw her dead friends started to glow. "Look!" Kikyo pointed. Inuyasha and Kagome saw everyone else glowing.

Ed opened his eyes and put his arms together. The other's eyes opened as they glow, Al's armor disappeared and there appeared a young boy with golden-brown hair and innocent eyes. He was wearing a black t-shirt and black pants like Ed's.

Everyone was alive and well.

Everyone stopped glowing and was happy that they were alive. "I'M ALIVE!" Koga yelled. "LOOK AT ME, MY BODY IS BACK!" Al shouted happily. Winry and everyone else were happy. Kagome then formed tears of joy as she approached Ed.

Ed turned around and smiled at her. His metal-arm was no longer their and his metal-leg too. Kagome gasped happily and hugged him. "Edward your alive, but how?" she asked. Ed smiled back, "Because of Lady Midoriko." Kagome's eyes widened but she was happy that he was alive.

Kikyo hugged Inuyasha since he was better and healthy. Inuyasha realized that he was in love with Kikyo more than ever so he hugged her back.

Sango hugged Miroku; she finally admitted that she liked him. Winry cried in tears of joy when she finally saw Al was back. She then hugged him too. Koga, Shippo, and Kirara smiled, they were all happy.

Kagome looked at Ed with her shining brown eyes, she then kissed him in the lips. Ed kissed her back. As they were kissing, a transmutation circle appeared again and they were glowing. Then everyone else was glowing.

"What's happening Ed?" Kagome asked, as she held tight. "Were going back…" Ed smiled. Kagome hugged him tight and closed her eyes.
