Chapter 5
The next morning the group awoke to a mercilously foggy day. They said goodbye to the villagers and collected their 'thank you' gifts as they made there way through the dense forest, Miroku questioned Edward more about alchemy,
"So can anyone use alchemy?" Ed was getting a little tired of all these questions, he put on his best face however and answered truthfully,
"No not everyone, a lot of people in my time can though..." He piled his hands behind his head and breathed deep, the warm mist that surrounded them. A shreek was heard in the distance.
"What was that?" Sango voiced the question that everyone was obviously thinking. They all turned to see where the noise had come from. After a moment, Inuyasha jumped up into a tree. A large bird swooped down on them, seemingly going to attack, but instead dropped two large mantis demons in their path.
Kagome shrieked and ran to grab her bow and arrow. "I can't even use my wind tunnel!" Miroku shouted, aggravated at his misfortune. He pulled out some sacred sutras and threw them at one of the beasts, the mantis screeched a little, but other than that showed no effect.
Inuyasha jumped out of the tree, slashing his tetsusaiga for a surprise attack on the nearest mantis. The monster screeched once again and fell to the ground twitching. Inuyasha ran and stabbed his tetsusaiga into it's head to finish the monster off. The mysterious fog had not yet lifted and made seeing the battle a little diffucult. Kagome lifted her arrow preparing to take aim at the second monster, but before she could let off her shot, the giant bird was back. It grabbed Kagome in its giant talon and began to try and escape without detection.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha shouted, and sliced the bird with his windscar. Inuyasha dropped to the forest floor and ran to catch Kagome, but a second bird snatched Kagome up again before she hit the ground. Inuyasha prepared for another attack when Sango shouted,
"Inuyasha look out!" her warning came too late, Inuyasha turned just inside for a giant mantis pincer to stab into his side. He fell to his knees clutching his side as the poison threatened to overwhelm him (A/N I'm not really sure, but i dont think normal mantis' are poisonous, however for the sake of this story, let's just pretend they are okay:) As the prepared to stab Inuyasha again, Inuyasha bared his teeth ready to fight again. But Edward jumped in front of him, somehow Edward had produced a long staff with some kind of emblem on the top of it. He lashed out at the monster and chopped the pincer completely off.
"Go! Find Kagome!" Edward yelled, while running at the monster once again. Inuyasha stared for a moment realizing that Ed might have just saved his life. He nodded his head in obedience to Ed's words. Then jumped up and ran after Kirara and Sango, who had already took off after the bird that held Kagome.
Inuyasha ripped through the forest with amazing speed considering his injury, "Kagome!" He shouted hoping maybe the bird had dropped her somewhere, knowing that that wasn't very likely.
Meanwhile, Edward and Miroku still battled the giant mantis. "Monk! Throw me your staff!" Ed shouted, this monster was proving to be more difficult to defeat than the other seemed to have been. 'Maybe that dog is stronger than he looks after all' Edward couldn't help, but wish that Inuyasha was around to simply slice this monster apart too. "Come on monk! Your staff already!" Miroku hesitated for a moment, but knowing that Edward knew what he was doing when it came to battle, threw his staff in Edward's direction. Edward easily caught it and held Miroku and his staff in each hand. Running and jumping at the demon, who was now missing both his front pincers, but still packed a nasty punch with his mouth and lower half, Edward jumped right at his head and expertly swung both staffs connection with the mantis' kneck and cutting it's head clean off. Edward landed gracefully on the ground in front of the monster as it's head landed near Shippo and Miroku, Ed turned around and began to walk away, smiling from another battle won. When he heard a shriek.
"It's moving!" Shippo shouted running away from the mantis' head as it snapped at Shippo hopping around a foot away from the child. "ahhhh!" he shouted flailing his arms comically as tears streamed down his face.
"Take cover!" Miroku shouted, though he couldn't help but smile. Shippo jumped on Miroku's back, clutching on to his robes for support, knowing what was coming. Miroku pulled off the beads and glove and Edward stared in wonder as a giant sucking hole in Miroku's hand lapped up the mantis head. Miroku quickly covered back up his hand and walked over to Edward to congratulate him.
"That was amazing!" Edward shouted awestruck. Miroku blushed then held up his hand for inspection...
"no no...well...I suppose it is pretty amazing isn't it?" Miroku unabashedly gloated. Shippo rolled his eyes. Then looked over at the body of the mantis.
"I wonder why it's body still isn't moving?" He questioned, more to himself than the others.
Edward shrugged his shoulders, "Who cares, as long as it's dead." Miroku and Shippo exchanged glances,
Shippo sighed, "It's a shame you and Inuyasha don't like eachother." Ed looked at the fox demon, puzzled.
"Yes, you two do act a lot alike in some ways." Miroku added. Ed's face grimaced,
"Gee, thanks." He seethed sarcastically. Miroku laughed,
"I hope that Inuyasha and Sango were able to catch up to Kagome and that bird." He stopped, a worried look on his face.
"Don't worry, Inuyasha won't let that bird get away with Kagome." Shippo reassured them.
Tokyo
Al jumped up with a start. "Brother..." Oh yeah, he had layed down on the bed for a short rest (okay before i get a bunch of flames about how Al doesn't sleep...just look at the series! He lays down to sleep all the time! whether he actually sleeps or not is irrelevant! thank you for not irritating me with flames about Al not sleeping:) In the hallway Cathy heard the disturbance. The door to Kagome's room creaked open. "Alphonse? Are you alright?" Cathy's voice was such a comfort (don't worry Cathy and Al's relationship is purely mother/son I dont want a single flame on this chapter please lol)
Al bowed his head, "Yeah, I'm okay, just thinking about my brother...Are you sure he'll be okay?" Cathy watched the boy with tears threatening, no boy should ever have to go through so much...Then she thought of Kagome, her darling oldest child, she walked over and sat on the bed next to Al.
"You poor boy..." and Al watched her, completely aware of the silent tears, and wondered how often she had shed tears for her daughter. He let his head drop again. He knew that Kagome would be fine with Ed around, and once again a wave of appreciation for his brother swept over him. He was so glad his brother was able to do something for his too kind woman.
With the bird
(not the cleverest subtitle i know lol)
The bird flew over the treetops, Kagome sighed, still seeing no sign of Inuyasha or any of the others, she had given up screaming and pounding on the beasts legs a long time ago. She had no idea where this bird was going. After a moment she noticed the bird was decending a little bit. She looked down, surprised. All she could see was a wide clearing. The bird fell upon it quickly then stopped in midair. Turning it's feet toward the ground it began to flap it's wings ferociously. Kagome screame as a whirlwind of dirt and stones flew around her along with several feathers. "Stop it bird!" She shouted at the top of her lungs, then stopped as she noticed that the dirt was hitting some kind of barrier and she could clearly see a large castle in the clearing...This is what she was afraid of...the bird was taking her to Naraku's castle!

Well there you are, sorry for all the author notes lol. I really wasn't trying to interrupt too much, i am trying to avoid any flames lol (which i know by saying that i will get about 3 of them just for the irony of it lol) I'll be sure to get the next chapter up soon. The next one will deffinately have something about the things that were following Ed and Al in the beginning, what does Al do when they threaten to destroy Kagome's home and his temporary one? Plus will Inuyasha be able to find where Naraku has taken Kagome? and will any romance happen to show up anywhere in this story? (lol) peaces out! nikki
