Chapter One: New World

Inuyasha flew through nothingness. Then all of a sudden knowledge assaulted his senses. He suddenly knew things about this magic called alchemy that he never knew existed. He not only knew it existed now, but could practically outclass anyone in its use with the knowledge that came unbidden to his mind. And then, he was at a gate. This was no ordinary gate, this was the gate.

As He looked into the open doors, he saw eyes. There were hundreds of purple eyes, staring longingly at him. Inu suddenly stood and ran at the gate. He didn't know why, but if he could get through, he felt he could find his friends. As he jumped into the darkness he heard his name called.

As he twisted in midair he saw the faces of his friends that were just lost, crying out and reaching for him. But it was too late. As Inu fell through the blackness he suddenly hit the ground in front of the gate, just where he was. Or so it seemed. The gate swung closed and he had a black out.

Inu woke up on the ground in the middle of the ruins of a burned down house. The ashes were years old. The house was on a hill so from where he was Inu could see all over the village of Resembool. But he didn't care. The last thing he remember were the faces of his friends looking at him from inside the gate. Inu didn't understand it, but he knew it would be next to impossible to ever see his friends again. At this, tears that seldom appeared on his proud face fell do the old ash and dirt.

"KAGOME!" yelled Inu at the top of his lungs. His wail soon became a roar and his body started to grow. Not only did his body grow, but it changed shape, and became covered in coarse, white fur. Where Inu stood, now stood a great white dog demon, the likes of that this world had never seen. He howled again and leapt off into the town.

From a nearby hill, a ridiculously handsome man, in a blue uniform looked up from his book entitled "The War on Yellow Bastards" He stood up when he saw the massive demon. "What the FK kind of Chimera is that? And why the FK is it at the Elric's place?" He shook his head as he stood up. He looked down at his temporary prosthetic limb. "Damn. Oh well."

The man ran after the large white beast that was approaching the village. As he ran he placed two fingers on his temple, touching his headband. Suddenly tiny bullet like objects started to assault Inu. The bullets were slightly annoying to Inu, but none could pierce his demonic skin. As he ran, the man muttered, "…if he were only a yak!"

Soon the demon was right near a house and the man in uniform soon caught up. Once again the man touched his temple but this time he looked down. He soon shot up into the air and did some awesome aerial maneuvers that no acrobat could do. He was an alchemist, and alchemists are better than acrobats!

He landed upon Inu's back and soon held on for his life. Inu proceeded to buck like a bull at a rodeo. All the while the man tried to bring his fingers to his temple. Soon the man did and the tiny bullet appeared again and this time they kept coming. Instead of attacking Inu, they just adhered and soon began to cover Inu. Inu's limbs were significantly heavier with the super dense bullets weighing him down.

Soon Inu was reduced to no more a threat than a puppy being held down by a bigger dog. As the people came out to see what just happened, the man just smiled and sat cross-legged on the demon's head. "Calm down lassie. Now be a good mutt and behave!"

"Who you calling a mutt?" came a voice from the demon. Inu started shrinking and turning back to normal. The man soon jumped off and had his hand back on his temple, ready for what came next. He was expecting Inu to change shape and attack, but instead Inu just brushed himself off and stared at the man. "Who the hell are you, and more importantly where the hell am I?"

Since Inu didn't seem to want to fight, the man eased up. He removed his hand from his temple and extended it to Inu. "The names Tsukenta Mustang: the Yak-Killing Alchemist. You may have heard of me?" As he said this his eyes sparkled. Inu looked at the hand and snorted. "Never. Now answer my other question."

Tsukenta (torn up on the inside) just laughed and said, "Impatient, aren't we? Well you're in the town of Resembool. Now, how'd you get here?" Inu looked at him and said, "Never heard of Resembool. Now why does it look like I'm in Kagome's time?"

Tsukenta looked confused and said, "Your obviously not from around here and want some questions answered. I, too, want some questions answered so if you'd come with me…" Tsukenta walked off, not looking to see if Inuyasha followed.
