Chapter 4

The village was in total chaos. Kagome jumped down off Inuyasha's back while Inuyasha drew out tetsusaiga. A large demon that looked somewhat like a crab was attacking the village full force.

"This has Naraku written all over it!" Inuyasha snarled. Ed had finally caught up and looked up at the monster with total indifference. As if he saw monsters like this every day.

"Alright! So just tell me who's on our side and who I'm fighting and I'll be ready to go." Ed shouted over the noise of falling buildings and screaming people.

"That's Miroku Sango and Shippo!" Kagome shouted in response, while pointing at her friends. Miroku was using his staff to knock down several humungous bubbles that the crab seemed to be spewing from its mouth. While Shippo stood watching, not able to do much, but foxfire down a few bubbles himself. Sango ran along one side of the beast and was using her hirikotsu to repeatedly attack one of the beasts legs, which didn't prove to be to easy to cut. Ed nodded hisrecognition of the scene. Inuyasha and Kagome watched as Ed clapped his hands together. Blue electricity seemed to come out of thin air, and suddenly a large knifelike metal thing grew from his metal arm. Ed then ran into battle. Kagome and Inuyasha looked at eachother in stunned silence for a moment, then looked back at Ed. The knife Ed had mysteriously grown was able to easily penetrate the hard shell of the crab demon. Inuyasha gritted his teeth and ran at the crab too. Kagome, who was still standing shocked, finally saw the jewel shard.

"Inuyasha! The jewel shard is on his head! Right between the eyes!" Inuyasha nodded, and tried a full frontal attack, but the crab simply shot some bubbles at him. As soon as the bubbles hit Inuyasha he was flung away from them and hit the ground in a sticky pile.

"Inuyasha, don't let the bubbles touch you!" Miroku shouted. Inuyasha jumped up. Holding his fist threateningly at Miroku,

"Gee thanks for telling me!"

"Look!" Shippo shouted, and pointed to the monster's head. Ed had climbed onto its back, and walked up to its head. The beast tried to shake him off, but any time the rocking got too violent, Ed slammed his knife into the monsters back and waited out the shaking.

"I hope that guys on our side?" Miroku said, directing it as more of a question toward Inuyasha.

"Why? I could have done the same thing! It's no big deal!" Inuyasha snarled. But both men still watched Ed climb the monsters back, until he reached it's eyes. Stabbing his knife where Kagome indicated, and a tiny pink shard gracefully popped out. He reached out and grabbed it with his other hand.

"Wow!" Sango said from her place on Kirara's back.

"What's so amazing about it! I've done that a million times! Does anyone ever say, 'wow look at Inuyasha!' when I do it?" Inuyasha seethed. The monster stopped, Ed tried keeping his balance, but had to jump off when the monster began to roll onto one side. The beast rolled onto it's back and after a moment stopped twitching. Shrinking to the size of any average crab. Miroku walked over to examine it.

"This is a demon from the continent." He concluded.

"Yeah, and it reeks of Naraku." Inuyasha said, covering his nose.

"But why would this, Naraku, send a giant crab at you like this?" Ed spoke up, after getting rid of the large knife.

"We're never quite sure why Naraku does things like this...Maybe he just wants to distract us?" Sango responded.

"That was excellent fighting by the way." Miroku looked at Edward, admiriation evident in his voice as he held out his hand to shake Ed's. Ed took it and smiled.

"Thanks, you guys too." He intruduced himself to Sango and Shippo as well, and the group went to helping reconstruct some of the fallen buildings, which proved pretty easy with Edward around. When the sun was about to go down. Kagome began wondering where Inuyasha had gone. No one had seen him for hours. Sango and Miroku were busy examining Ed's arm. So she took a walk, hoping to find Inuyasha on the way.

Kagome hadn't been walking for very long, when she saw Inuyasha. Obviously pouting in a tree. "Inuyasha?" Kagome called, he looked down at her, then crossed his arms. why does he always have to be so immature! Kagome sighed. "You wanna come down here so we can talk?" She knew what he was going to say, but she still frowned when he said it,

"NO!" Inuyasha shouted. Kagome sighed,

"I won't make you talk to me if you don't want to..." Kagome responded and began walking back to camp.

"As if you could make me anyway..." Inuyasha grumbled, but again Kagome ignored his comments.

By the time Kagome made it back to camp, the sun had long since set and a kind elderly woman was allowing him to sleep in her home. When Kagome walked into the hut, Miroku was rolling out sleeping mats.

"So Ed, you come from Kagome's time?" Sango questioned.

"Well, kind of." Ed laughed, and looked at Kagome, "It's kind of a long story. I'm not really sure how I got to Kagome's time to begin with."

"What about your arm?" Shippo asked him.

"Interrogating him already are we?" Kagome said, being noticed for the first time by anyone, but Edward. Ed had become a fast favorite of just about everyone in the group, even Kirara seemed to warm up to him easily...If only he and Inuyasha could work together.

"So where are we heading tomorrow?" Ed asked.

"Well, we don't really know until Kagome senses a jewel shard." Miroku yawned.

Sango finished sharpening her hirikotsu, and added, "Or if we get some kind of clue as to where Naraku is heading."

"So I take it Naraku is someone you guys have been going after for a long time." Ed noticed.

Sango bowed her head, "Naraku kidnapped my little brother Kohaku, Naraku's controlling him."

Miroku nodded, "I know you haven't seen it, but I have a kazaana (for those of you who don't know, kazaana is wind tunnel in Japanese) in my right hand. Naraku cursed my family with it. The wind tunnel won't be removed until the day Naraku dies. If I overuse the windtunnel or have it punctured in any way, it will actually kill me. That's why I must find and kill Naraku, before my own flesh and bones are sucked into my cursed hand. Just like my father." Miroku held up his hand gazing at it seemingly in a trance.

Ed looked at the monk curiously, "So this wind tunnel...it just sucks things into it? Just like that?" Miroku nodded. "Where do they go?" Edward asked.

"I don't really know." Miroku laughed.

Shippo curled up using Kirara as a pillow, while the slayer, the monk, the miko, and the alchemist, talked late into the night. Inuyasha walktzed into the hut after a few hours and everyone took that as their que to get to sleep. But Inuyasha could feel the demonic aura that seemed to envelope this village.

Ed fell asleep with thoughts of Winry and his brother, I'll get that stone as soon as I can brother.

Tokyo

"You can stay in Kagome's room again tonight Alphonse. I can't believe what a help you are around the house!" Kagome's mom cooed as Al came in from taking the garbage out.

Al blushed, "I really don't mind miss Higurashi."

"Oh come on Alphonse, you can call me Cathy." (I really don't know Kagome's mom's real name! I don't think they give her a name. But I know that the person who does her voice is named Cathleen lol so I'll call her Cathy) Cathy smiled, "So do you go to school?" Al looked surprised,

"Well, no not anymore." He confessed.

Cathy frowned, "That's too bad. A good education is the best thing you can give your children. And you're practically one of the family now. Kagome goes away for weeks at a time sometimes. There's no telling when your brother will get back...I don't want to worry you, but I figured it was something you should know ahead of time." She walked over and hugged Al. "I'm so sorry about all you've gone through, it's terrible at such a young age." She pulled back and Al saw the tears in her eyes.

"It's okay..." Al whispered. Thinking about how good it felt to have someone around that reminded him of his mother. I wonder when Ed is going to come back.
