Mother

Chapter 2:

Enemies New Face

Ed finally snapped out of his daydream, but it was too late. The woman's eyes had opened. " A homunculi…my…own…" Ed thought too himself. " Wait…no this…isn't important," Ed said snapping out of his trance, " Kagome Get Away, GET BACK!" But as said before it was too late, Kagome and the strange lady had disappeared.

" Hey! Ed! What just happened! That woman, she took Kagome!" Inuyasha said running up too Ed and picking him up by the braid.

" You better fix this…what ever you did, FIX IT!" Inuyasha screamed throwing Ed onto the ground.

" What is this…half demon, you shed tears for this Kagome person? Do you love her or something?" Asked Ed still in pain, but also with a bit of a smirk.

" If Kagome dies, I will kill you! Understand?" Inuyasha said very angrily.

" Yeah, Yeah…I get it." Ed responded.

" Okay so I wonder what we should do first now…considering that we know nothing about this new enemy or how we could find her." Stated Miroku, as he looked to notice his wind tunnel was gone.

They all sat down and were trying to think about something to do. When Ed sat down though it was different. He started to go into a trance again. His eyes were glazed, and he started to have memories of his past…Inuyasha of course didn't sit he was pacing back and forth trying to pick up Kagome's scent. Sango and Miroku, noticed Ed's expression, and then Sango asked, " Edward, did you know who she was?" He turned with a look so petrifying it could have been mistaken as a zombie.

" Mother…. why…" Ed said, but not too anyone for any particular reason.

" So…. it was…your… mother…" Sango said softly.

" Y-y-ye-yeah…but…not exactly…she looks like her but…she is…she is a homunculi…she looks and could have her memories but she is a whole new person and will act how she sees fit( no soul)." " And I've dealt with these things before…they are nasty and almost fight like that Naraku character, they can reform their body (ex. Finger turns into long spikes too fight), and most important of all…"

" Yes?"Inuyashaasked, turning around from his pacing.

" Some can shape shift or take on the form of any person they have seen before. We will need a secret code too make sure that the person they are talking too is or is not the real thing."

" What ever, do you have any leads on where--"

" Alphonse," Ed said cutting off Inuyasha, " that will be the word, everyone got that?"

" Yes." Everyone agreed.

" Now, as I was saying--"

" Now we will need to figure out where she went…" Ed said, cutting off Inuyasha again.

" Ed, are you sure you are ok with this? I mean…this is basically your mother. If you come with us on this little hunt we will probably end up destroying her." Sango said.

" That person is not my mother…" Ed said.

" Alright! Now, do you know where she would have gone Kid?" stammered Inuyasha.

" That doesn't matter." Ed remarked.

" And why is that?"

" Because, I'm going alone to find her, that's what I've decided." Ed said.

" Yah right! We were coming with you the moment that thing took Kagome." Inuyasha said, " Now lets go."

" Fine I guess there is point arguing…" Ed said, as he started walking off.

" Hold it! Where do you think your going? Do you have any idea?" Inuyasha asked.

" Not the slightest." Ed said.

" Well, I guess we should go to Kaete's village and start from there."

"Alright fine, if we must." Ed agreed, " Uh…just where is this Kaete's village anyways?"

" Its to the west of here." Sango said.

" Really how far?" Ed asked.

" About a 3 day period of walking." Sango replied.

" Aww." Ed said in a sluggish way. " Oh-well what can you do."

A few hours later Ed came to a stop and collapsed. He turned over on the ground and seemed quite happy. " Are you alright kid?" Asked Miroku. " Yeah, Ijust need time too rest, legs hurt, I hurt." Ed said continously. " Well its still along way back so get up we are moving out." Inuyasha said. Ed sucked it up, got up, and they all started walking again.

That night…

" Well, see its not that bad, now we get some time too rest!" Inuyasha said happily while patting Ed on the back.

" Great…just great…" Ed said,curling over and then fellsleeping.

" Well so what do we do now?" Asked Miroku.

" Well, for now let us all get some sleep." Sango replied. " Yeah I agree, if I'm going to help out tomorrow in what ever way I can, I better getsome sleep." Shippo said, now starting to feel dreary and soon after fell asleep.

" Okay then. Its settled, we'll kill him tomorrow." Inuyasha said.

" What are you talking about Inuyasha?" asked Miroku.

" Yeah? Why would you want to kill him--." Sangostopped, just realizing that Inuyasha was already asleep. " Alright Miroku lets get some sleep as well."

" Ok." Miroku replied.

And both did….

Inuyasha was the first to wake up(or so he thought). He looked around and noticed that Ed was gone. " Hey Sango, Miroku wake up--!" Inuyasha said noticing that they weren't here either. " Where did everyone go?" " ARG!" Inuyasha said, jumping off trying to pick up a scent of anything. Inuyasha has probably been leaping around and getting further and further to Kaete's village, until he actually arrived. He went over to Kaete's hut too ask if she had seen them. No one was there; he tried again too pick up a scent of anyone. He got it; Kaete must be up there, up by Kiyko's grave. He jumped on up there too see Kaete dead, lying there on the ground with a big large spike of earth threw her. Inuyasha quickly ran up there trying not too step on any of her blood.

" No…. the only one that could have done this is that kid. He's the only one that I've seen that can do that to the ground. ARGG! Where could he have gone too?" Inuyasha shouted. Suddenly he heard a clanking sound off in the forest. Inuyasha jumped over to see what it was but when he got there, all he found was a big pile of armor. He checked inside but there wasn't anyone there. " They must have gotten away." Inuyasha said, referring to only one person when saying 'they'. He went back to the village, dug a grave for Kaete and buried her. The villagers were all devastated and then had a little cerimony. Inuyasha now felt that he had to go back and check the armor, and that he did. Only when he got there, the armor was gone. " Darn! When I find that kid, he will wish that he hadn't have done that." Inuyasha said, cracking his knuckles.

Ed and the others finally arrived at the village. Just to see Inuyasha waiting there with a very angry expression on his face.

" Hey! Inuyasha how did you get here so fast?" Sango asked.

" Yeah how is that, we were sure that we left giving us enough time to get here first." Miroku also asked.

Inuyasha didn't reply. He was starring at Ed. " So where is this Kaete, Inuyasha? Did you see her already, did she know anything?" Ed asked.

" Why you! RGG!" Inuyasha growled.

" Inuyasha what's wrong? Where is Kaete?" Shippo asked.

" She's gone." Inuyasha said.

" What do you mean!" Shippo screamed.

" Why don't you ask that Ed guy, he knows." Inuyasha said.

" How would he know? He doesn't even know who this Kaete is." Said Sango, trying to protect Ed.

" Well how come I found her with a spike through her stomach! And it came from the earth and that's just how he fights isn't it!" Inuyasha screamed.

" But… that's impossible." Ed said.

" And why is that?" Inuyasha said ready to strangle him.

" Well, I've been walking all day with the monk and demon slayer… and just arrived."

" Well, then how do you explain it!" Inuyasha said.

" That's easy." Ed answered, " It was probably my so called Mother. I 'm betting she has the power to perform alchemy."

" Alchemy?" asked Inuyasha.

" Yeah, it's the process of breaking down matter and rebuilding it as something else." Ed said, " For example that's why we can make spikes and such come from the ground. There is so much its so easy to break downthe materialand make it into spikes."

" I see." Said Inuyasha really confused. " So it was your Mother then?"

" Yeah….most likely she's the only other person here that could do that…"

" Well… we have to go now then. I have a faint scent of the enemy." Inuyasha said.

" Really, where did you get it from did you see Ed's mother?" asked Miroku.

" No,I got it from a pile of empty armor that I found a little way into the forest. I think she may have been in it. So I'll use that." Inuyasha said proudly as if he had done something good.

Ed's eyes went blank and hollow. " No it couldn't be…" he said.

Too be continued….

Well…. Sorry but this chapter was already before I got reviews so I didn't fix all the mistakes XX sorry, sorry but I will Do it for Chapter 3 Sorry. I am…

What is it that affects Ed so much when he hears about "empty armor" and will Inuyasha believe what he has to say?

Chapter 3: Why is he here? And how did he get here?
