A/N: Okay, I struck a deal with a buddy of mine, and in exchange for writing a Roy x Kagome drabble, he'd write me an Inu x Sess drabble. That's why I did this. :twitch: And I'm never doing it again unless somebody gives me something REALLY good… :glares: Roy-chan is MINE to manipulate, not Kagome's… Grrr… Anyway, this is a crossover drabble, obviously, featuring Kagome from Inuyasha! And despite me loathing the pairing, this is my longest drabble EVER, measuring in at about 530-some words. I don't even think that's considered a drabble. But we'll just pretend it is. Please read and review!

30. Roy x Kagome – Prototype

Roy had an ingrained fear of wells. He wasn't sure why. Maybe it was the fact that anybody could jump down one and never be seen again. Maybe it was the fact that the insides of a well were all coated in gooey slime and dead bugs and who knows what else. Or maybe it was because wells had strange, mystical, time-traveling powers.

Whatever the case, Roy decided to try and overcome his fear by jumping down the well across the street from his house.

His fear of wells was immediately cured when he found himself looking into the eyes of a beautiful, raven-haired girl on the other side.

The girl, whose name was Kagome, blinked back at Roy, surprised as to how he came out of the well in her grandfather's shrine. She thought only Inuyasha could travel through the well!

Despite her shock, Kagome's hospitality kicked in and she helped Roy out of the well, grabbing his hand and tugging him out. Once safely out of the contraption, Roy inspected himself, checking to see if any well-slime had gotten on his clothes (none had), and then he turned to Kagome.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"I'm… Kagome Higurashi," the girl said, smoothing back her fluffy black hair. She smiled sheepishly, embarrassed to noticed that a red flush was creeping into her cheeks. What? Why…? she wondered, touching her crimson skin, but one more look at the man in front of her suddenly reminded her why she was blushing. He's very handsome… even more so than Inuyasha!

She felt slightly guilty for "bashing" Inuyasha, but it was only the truth. This man in front of her was stunning – coal-black hair, small, beautiful, piercing eyes… and a military uniform. Kagome couldn't possibly deny the saying "I love a man in uniform".

Again, she extended her hand, wanting badly to shake Roy's. She bet his hands felt like perfect silk.

They did. Except, they weren't hands, really… They were glove-covered hands, but nice all the same. Kagome noticed the array on his right glove and wondered vaguely what it was for. She looked up at Roy, her eyes expectant, but no answer came. Just his name.

"Roy Mustang."

Kagome's heart leapt up into her throat. Just his name was enough to send shivers up her spine. What a sexy name! Augh, no! What am I thinking! This guy's probably old enough to be your dad She shook her head.

"Something wrong?" asked Roy concernedly.

"N-no! No!" stuttered Kagome. "J-just… um… wondering how you got here…" She trailed off, mumbling.

Roy scratched his chin, trying to think of a way to put it without sounding like a coward. "I was trying to conquer my fear of wells…" he could say, but no, that was stupid. He didn't want to seem like he had any fears because, in all honesty, he really didn't. At least none that he wanted to think about… Instead, he answered her, leaning down to touch the fabric on Kagome's school skirt (and a little more), "I was searching for a prototype for my new military uniform idea."

Kagome flushed purple. "SIT!" she yelled.

She wasn't sure if she was disappointed or not when Roy Mustang didn't fall down.

Reviewer Responses!

Valen aka Backstreet: Really, that's one of your faves? Hmm, well, that's cool. I think it's a bit boring, but the mental image is cute. n.n And that's okay, Roy x Riza is my second favorite pairing nex to Roy x Ed… though Roy x Hughes is creeping up quite quickly (heh… oops, oxymoron "creeping quickly" oO) as a fave ever since I wrote that one-shot… :sweatdrop: Anyway, thanks for the review!

Blackrose Kitsune: No problem. I think the only thing you really CAN say about the last drabble was that it was "sweet" and "cutesy" – just basic fluff. Ah well. It was okay. Thanks very much for the review!

MetalWing Alchemist: Ya know, the weirdest thing was that the movie was actually on today. I turned on the TV during lunch, and THERE IT IS! The Powerpuff Girls movie! I was like, "Omfg!" I thought of you. heh. n.n Ah well, you'll be 15 soon enough… As will I, yippee, Dec. 2… gotta wait a while though… T.T I'm sick of being 14… I mean, it's a nice age and all, but… meh. Whatever. I'm rambling again, lol. But oooh, that's a good idea, making a drabble out of this PPG!Riza thing… I think I shall do that! But it'll be a while before it shows up. It'll be in the sequel series to this drabblefic, because I already have all 50 of them written out, plus about 5 or 6 in the sequel series. o.o But thanks very much for the review – and I'll relay the message to Hughes:)
