Chapter 12: A Perceptive of Danger

Resembool, Sacred Well

Sango, Miroku, and Kirara jumped out of the Sacred Well and that led the three of them at Resembool once again. Sango looked around cautiously if there were any demons in sight. "What is it Sango?" Miroku asked with a curious expression on his face, not really sure what was going on. Sango turned to the monk, "Its nothing, I was just a little apprehensive around here, since there were about two demons that attacked here in Resembool." Sango answered as she held her hiraikotsu behind her back.

"Come on, we should get going to the Rockbell Residence, Winry, Al, Ed, Shippo and Kagome should be back there… I think." Miroku said as he started to walk at the pathway leading to the Winry's house. As the three of them came up to Winry's house, Sango knocked on the door.

No one answered.

Sango knocked on the door once again but still, no one answered. Sango looked at both Miroku and Kirara. The two of them were confused. "Maybe they did not arrive yet." Miroku shrugged. Sango sighed heavily, but then something popped in her head. She then checked her pocket sleeve and took out two train tickets. Miroku glanced at the tickets, "Now where did you get that Sango?" he asked. Sango smiled, "Winry gave these to me before we left. She said, 'If we ever came back and did not find her and the rest, we have to go to Central'." Miroku and Kirara's faces brightened and smiled.

"But wait," Miroku interrupted, "Are the tickets expired?" he asked. Sango looked at them. Luckily, they were not expired. "No, they aren't!" Sango exclaimed. Miroku and Kirara smiled, "Well what are we stalling here for Sango? We have to tell the emergency to them! Let's hurry!" Miroku then held Sango's hand, as they were about to run to the train station. "Miroku wait!" Sango stopped Miroku. Miroku turned to her, "What is it now Sango?" he asked exasperatedly.

"We can't go appearing like this! Remember what Kagome told us, when we come here… or go anywhere else… we have to dress ordinary. There are a lot of military guards here, they might think were enemies of some sort." Sango explained. Miroku then crosses his arms, "You listen too much don't you Sango?" Sango blushed and narrowed her eyes at Miroku, "Miroku, just come on… we have to find some ordinary clothes…" Sango thought for a bit until an unexpected figure came in.

"Are you two newcomers looking for clothing?" Sango and Miroku turned around to see an old woman. The old woman was short and stout; she was like any other grandma-looking woman you'd see in town. She wore a white dress with a pale apricot apron. She also had a warm smile on her face. "Yes m'am, we are quite looking for some clothing." Miroku bowed respectively at the woman. The woman raised an eyebrow at them, "Are you those people from the Eastern country of Xing? You have their accent and heritage complexion."

Sango and Miroku blinked, they don't even know what the heck is the country of Xing! Then Sango knew, she had heard about that Eastern Country from Edward and Alphonse, good thing she was getting a little bit used to Ed's world. The country of Xing lays at the farther Eastern part of this world. They look like the people at Kagome's time and at the Feudal Era. "Ah yes, I am a traveler from Xing, my name is Sango and these are my companions Miroku and…" Sango glanced at Kirara, she then sighed in relief that Kirara changed back into her ordinary form. "And my cat Kirara." Sango laughed nervously.

Miroku was a bit confused but he went in with the flow, "We are traveling here to visit our close friends Winry Rockbell, Edward Elric, and Alphonse Elric, but it seems that they are not here… so we wanted to take a trip to Central to see if they are there, but… our clothing is a little messy and we needed appropriate clothing for our trip there." Miroku explained. The woman then thought for a while and finally said, "Well, I am a seamstress, I have a few clothing, and they might fit you well." Sango and Miroku smiled and bowed to her, "Why thank you kind lady for offering."

The woman chuckled, "No need to thank me, please come… I will give you a few clothing for your trip. Also, your cat needs a little grooming too, I suggest you bring the cat along." Then the three of them followed the old woman to her house.

Later, Sango came out with long sleeved dress with a light pink apron. She was still wearing a few of her demon exterminator clothing inside. She had a white headband on as her long blackish-brown hair was down. Sango also carried a little bag around her. Miroku came out with a gray t-shirt and black pants. Their other clothing was in a paper bag. Kirara was groomed and was clean. "Thank you so much for giving this to us, how can we repay you?" Sango asked with a smile on her face. The woman smiled warmly, "There is no need to repay me anything." The woman told them.

She then took out 5000 sens (A/N: FMA money) and gave it to them. "Take this, it will let you have food, shelter, and clothing. Keep it well." She said. Miroku took the money into his palms and the nodded, "Thank you again." He said respectively. The woman then bid them farewell as Miroku, Sango, and Kirara said their good-byes. The three of them were going to Central!

With Alphonse Elric and Winry Rockbell

(Central Hotel)

Al stared at the window, looking at the people passing by. His brown eyes were stained with tears as he looked at each of the people of Central pass by. Al had a lot of thoughts in his head about demons, Naraku's son, and the entire catastrophe going around. He wondered if they would be able to defeat Koi and find the reason why he has been sending demons in this World, Kagome's World, and the Feudal Era.

If they won't stop this, the worlds will become apocalyptic. There will be 3 apocalyptic attacks when demons are spread all over. Al couldn't take the madness; he needed to stop this now. He doesn't want the future of three worlds to end. Al then made a fist in his right-hand and he punched the window, cracking it slightly.

It made a loud noise that made Winry rushed into Al's room. "Al, what happened?" Winry asked with a worried expression after hearing the window cracked. Al stopped the train of thoughts in his mind and turned to his girlfriend. He didn't reply but instead, he looked at his fist. It was bleeding from the crack. Winry glanced at his fist; her face turned scared as she approached Al and took his fist. Al looked at her, "Winry…"

"Al, what's happening to you? I know that you have seen how Hughes died but it doesn't seem like that, just tell me, what's wrong?" Winry asked as she got her handkerchief out of her pocket and started to wipe the blood soothingly off Al's fist. Al felt a little twinge but didn't bother to recoil. He saw in Winry's eyes that she was vexed and a bit petrified regarding what has been going on. "Winry… I just…" Al stuttered as he tried to answer her questions.

Winry finished wiping off the blood in Al's fist. She then looked at him, "Yes Al…?" she asked, waiting to conclude his sentence. Al then formed tears; he then threw his arms around Winry and hugged her. "Winry, we need to stop this, people that we know are being attacked and killed…" Al trembled as he kept hugging Winry. Winry saw the fear that Al felt inside, she then wrapped her arms around him, hugging him back.

"Alphonse, I've known you and your brother ever since… I've known you two are scared of what's going on whenever something bad happens… but it ends up that the both of you stopped it," Winry told Al. Al listened charily and waited to let Winry continue her explanation. "I know Edward and you are going to stop this terrorizing demon catastrophe that has been going on. Kagome, Shippo, InuYasha, Sango, Miroku, Kirara, the military and I will all stop this." She said.

"Also the military?" Al said in shock, he never anticipated of thinking that the Military would actually help. Winry nodded, "Yes, the military too. Roy, Riza, and his closest troops are trying to locate where these demons are appearing." Al's face brightens, now he knew a lot of people are trying to stop this, especially his closest friends from another world. "Winry thanks." Al thanked her. Winry blushed and smiled, she then tiptoed up to Al's face and did a quick kiss on his lips. (A/N: Wow, Al's taller than Winry XD)

Al felt the kiss and his face turned warm. Winry let go and smiled up at Al, she then put a palm on his cheek. "Everything will be okay, right?" she said. Al nodded, "Yes, everything will be okay." Al then walked back to the broken window. He then clapped his hands and did alchemy to fix the window back to its new place. "By the way, where's Ed, Kagome, Elycia (A/N: Kagome is babysitting Elycia while Gracia Hughes is running errands after the Funeral) and Shippo?" he asked a bit concerned, for he hadn't seen the four of them after they got back from the Funeral.

"Oh, I put Shippo and Elycia to sleep… Kagome and Edward, they are at Roy's personal Central Headquarters. Roy brought them there to talk about something important. They left about 1 or 2 hours ago, they should be back sooner or later." Winry replied as she started to fix Al's bed covers. Al then turned to the window and watched the people pass by again. He was not scared, but determined to overcome those demons that came to him and his friends' way. "We will defeat them Winry, I'm sure of it."

Fuhrer Mustang's Central Headquarters

Edward and Kagome were seated on the chair in front of Fuhrer Mustang's desk. Roy read some paperwork and gave them to Riza. It was silent for a little while until Kagome spoke, "So you're going to investigate and help us Fuhrer?" Roy looked at her and nodded, "Yes, we will help whatever we can to stop this. More demons are said to be appearing here and killing citizens and military guards. I can't stand the fact that demons are attacking." Roy stood up from his chair and stacked up the paperwork.

Ed growled, "Do you even know how powerful these demons are Mustang!" Ed then narrowed his eyes at Roy, "They can destroy about 50 military personals with one blast! It's like the State Alchemists… destroying a flock of Ishbalans years ago!" Kagome then calmed Ed down, "Ed, please, doesn't be rude… the Fuhrer is just trying his best here." Ed looked at Kagome and gave up. He then plopped back on the chair and "listened" to Roy.

Roy glimpsed at Kagome then back to Ed. Of course Roy did wanted to help, he had to do something with these demon attacks before it causes a big hectic to the Military and to the State… also the countries. "So," Roy started as he gave the papers to Kagome. "These are the papers of the recent reports about the demon attacks, I suggest the both of you take a look at it and investigate. Currently, our military is investigating but there are no sightings yet." Roy explained.

"Till then, I recommend the both of you and also your friends to have a discussion about this. I'm giving you time and a day-off. That will be all." Roy refined the conversation. He then sat down and did the paperwork. Kagome and Ed stood up with the investigation reports in their hands. "Thank you Fuhrer." Kagome bowed. Ed just hissed quietly and walked to the door. Kagome then caught up to him.

Ed put his hands on his pockets as his head was lowered down to the ground. He was walking casually and he also was thinking about the discussion. He scratched his head, trying to think of a plan or something. Kagome, who finished reading a page of the paper, looked at Ed. She blinked a few times to see what he was thinking about. "Ed, what are you thinking again?" she asked curiously.

"Huh?" Ed then turned his head to Kagome, "Oh… its nothing…" He told her nonchalantly like there was nothing wrong. Kagome just shrugged as they walked out of the building.

Train Station

"Finally!" Sango shouted as she stretched her arms. "I'm finally out of that train!" She shouted. Then Sango looked around the train station; there were a lot of people bustling there. "Wow, I never knew Central would be this crowded." Sango spoke quietly. She then noticed that Miroku wasn't out of the train yet. "Miroku?" Sango then went inside and saw Miroku chatting with some ladies. Sango flinched as her eyes had an expression of anger.

BAM!

Came the punch on Miroku's head. The ladies that Miroku was talking to gasped and ran away from the scary Sango. Miroku then turned around and sweat dropped, "Sango! I thought you were still getting your stuff!" Sango then slapped him, grabbed his ear, and dragged him out of the train. "Come on pervert, let's go find the others." She told Miroku while dragging him. "A-Alright…" Miroku said with a sad expression face as he was being dragged through the crowd.

"I wonder where they might be staying…" Sango wondered, "This is my first time here and I'm already lost… I can't remember were to turn to first." Miroku then wondered also. Finally, a light bulb appeared on Sango's head, "I know, we have to go to Central H.Q.! We can ask where they are. I am intelligent right?" Sango praised herself. Miroku just sweat dropped.

Central Hotel

"Were back!" Ed shouted as he closed the entrance door gently behind him. Kagome came in as she put her backpack at the corner. "Oh good, you're back! Winry and I were getting worried." Al laughed as he greeted Ed and Kagome. "So how did it go?" Al asked the two of them. Kagome and Ed looked at each other, then they looked at Al, "It went smooth." Kagome replied, "Mustang and his troops will have to find where the demons are appearing… he let us have time to discuss all about this." Ed then crosses his arms and spoke, "But he doesn't know how dangerous the demons are… we have to help too."

Al then looked at both of them with an odd expression, "I see… brother, Kagome are you sure we will destroy them as soon as possible?" He asks. Ed then scratches his head and looks at Al, "Of course we will Al, even if it takes me to sacrifice my life once again…" Ed's golden eyes narrowed down at the ground as he started to remember what happened the last time he sacrificed himself to save everyone. Ed subsequently walked out of the room.

Al and Kagome blinked, they were wondering about Ed's actions for a while. "Something's' wrong with big brother right Kagome?" Al asks. Kagome then shrugged, "I'm not sure Al but it'll be alright... Ed just needs to think a while you know?" Kagome replies, sitting down on the couch resting and wondering.

Outside

Ed stood outside, looking up at the gray sky. His hands were put casually in his pockets while he gold eyes stared up. "I wonder when… when will we destroy Koi…" Ed murmured quietly under his breath. His eyes then shot at the dirty ground, tapping his foot intently. Ed started walking around the pathway, thinking heavily of a plan secretly. "Hm… I can't seem to think…" He whispers.

A dark shadow appeared behind a building, close to where Ed is. The figure peaked its head out of the shadows, showing Kohaku… Sango's little brother. Kohaku's brown hypnotized eyes looked at Ed with an emotion of anger. "There's Fullmetal…" He snickered quietly. Kohaku then looked at the mirror he has in his hands. Within the glass of the mirror, there shown Kikyo and InuYasha's faces. "Your not the only ones that are going to be in the mirror." Kohaku then disappeared.

Ed was still walking around the dirty ground, thinking. The door opened from the hotel and Alphonse came out. Ed turned to his brother, who was smiling weakly. "Al…?" He said. Al approached him. "Brother, are you okay? You seem to be thinking or planning heavily on something." Al spoke timidly to his brother. Ed nodded, "Yeah, its just that, three worlds are collapsing right? Koi is a more clever guy than that bastard Naraku… but there's something in Koi that I don't understand, but what?" Ed said, thinking. Al sighs heavily and looked up at the gray sky.

"You know brother, we've been to journeys just like this… sacrificing our own life to each other to save the one we love…" Al said, looking up. "Huh? What do you mean?" Ed asked, also looking up now. "Its just that… our whole journey seemed like it was Equivalent Exchange in alchemy. We traveled all the way to learn lessons than to search for the Philosopher's Stone and help destroy Naraku… its like our whole life is the Lessons of Alchemy. Alchemy was within us." Al explained to his brother, turning to him. Ed then turned to Al and smiled, "Your right, now that I look at it… our life was basically Equivalent Exchange."

"To gain something you must give up something with Equivalent Value. That is called Equivalent Exchange." Al and Ed both recited. "That is always the rule that we must follow, right Ed?" Al said smiling. "Right!" Ed agreed laughing. The two brothers started to laugh but then, something interrupted that laugh of theirs.

Kohaku jumped right in front of them, smirking. Ed and Al jolted up with shocked expressions. "Its finally good to see you Elric brothers in person." Kohaku snickered evilly and disappeared again with a blink of an eye. "What the?" Ed and Al started looking around everywhere but they were surprised with a hard kick behind them. "Ouch!" Both Ed and Al collapsed on the ground. "You guys are so slow… I thought you guys were fast." Kohaku said sarcastically, disappearing again.

Ed stood up with a very pissed off face, "Who the hell are you retard? What the hell do you want from us?" He then transformed his metal arm to a blade. Al stood up, ready to do alchemy. The brothers looked around cautiously, trying to find the boy. Then Kohaku appeared and this time he was going to jump on them. Al looked up fast and saw Kohaku, "Brother he's right up there!" He pointed up there, clapping his hands already. Ed looked up and jumped on Al's head, "Sorry Al, I needed a boost up!" Al then glared at Ed; "Brother I'm not a suit of armor anymore! I'm a human being!" He shouted. Of course, Ed didn't listen at all.

Ed then slashed him, but missed… "Shit!" He shouted, landing down on the ground. Kohaku also landed on the ground. "Goodness pipsqueak so slow to comprehend?" He said, chuckling evilly. Ed's eyes twitched, "Who did you call miniature size…!" Ed was in raged now and Al just stared at him blankly, sweat dropping. "Here he goes again…" He sighs heavily, stepping back.

Ed then transformed his metal-arm to a gun. "You take that back you little brat!" Ed shouted, grinding his teeth with fury. Ed then started shooting Kohaku, while Kohaku tried to get away. Kohaku laughed while getting away from Ed, "Temper problem!" He then disappeared. Al and Ed looked around again. "Where did he go!" Al said, looking around warily. Suddenly, Kohaku stabbed Al on the shoulder. Al's eyes widens with fear, collapsing on the ground with a bleeding shoulder. "Ngh…" Al said in pain. Ed's golden eyes widened, "Alphonse!" He shouts, running to him.

"Heh," Kohaku said smirking, he then held his hands together. Then it started to glow and the mirror appeared. Al and Ed's eyes broaden as they saw the mirror. "W-What is that…?" Al spoke, sitting up in pain. Kohaku looked at them evilly, "This you say?" He said referring to the mirror. The mirror then started to glow and a small dragon came out. Ed and Al started to scoot back away from the mirror, "This is the mirror of Captured Souls and that dragon you now see is a Soul Eater…" Kohaku explained, letting the little dragon do its thing.

The dragon's crimson blood eyes stared at the brothers. Al gasped, "Brother… we have to destroy this thing." Ed turns to Al and then to the dragon. "But how Al…"

With Sango and Miroku

Sango and Miroku hurriedly walked along the streets of Central, they already got a map to where the Central Hotel is. "Come on Miroku, we have to hurry!" Sango shouted, holding Miroku's hand and basically dragging him through the streets. "Yes Sango!" He agreed, also running. Behind them, Kirara was running as fast as she can to catch ahead. 'Everyone… please be alright…' Sango thought.

Then in Sango's mind, something to struck her, something strong. In her mind, a vivid image of Kohaku appeared… attacking Edward and Alphonse. Sango's brown eyes widens, "No… Kohaku…" Sango then knew a danger awaits and it was happening. She then turned to Miroku, "M-Miroku… I sense that Kohaku… is attacking Ed and Al…" she whispered with fright. "What!" Miroku said in shock, "If you say that then we must hurry!" Sango nodded and started to run through the streets again.

'Kohaku…' Sango thought miserably.

Back to Ed, Al, and Kohaku

The small dragon was slithering closer to Ed and Al. Al was now standing up, resisting the pain in his shoulder. Ed turns to Al, "Al I'll take care of this… your in pain…" He told his little brother. "No brother, I will do this too… I want to end this." Al told to Ed, refusing. Ed nods and understood what Al means. The brothers then turned to the dragon, they clapped their hands but as soon as they clapped their hands, they started to weaken.

"B-Brother… w-what's g-going on…?" Al said, his voice trembling. Ed mumbled, "I-I d-don't k-know A-Al…" Their visions started to blur as the fell on the ground, trembling. The demon started to slither closer and closer… sucking out their powers and weakening their souls. Kohaku smirked, "A little more Soul Eater… a little more…" Ed and Al's life force were slowly going into the demon's mouth. "A-Al…" Ed whispers. "E-Ed…" Al whispered back.

"Go on, weaken…" Kohaku laughed maniacally. Then it was interrupted with a hiraikotsu flying through the demon, destroying it. Kohaku's eyes widens, turning to who shot the hiraikotsu.

"Sister…?"


Author's Notes: Was Kohaku a little OOC I mean a little too much Evil? Tell me if he was because he's basically controlled by Koi who is way eviller than Naraku. Please review! No flames.
