Beginning Notes: Jombo! This is Stripe, the co-writer of this fanfiction. I wrote this entire chapter by my lonesome. Hence why it took so long. I have other fanfictions, and schoolwork doesn't help either.
Fwa... I know lots of you wanted FMA, but do not despair! Inuyasha is first because I wrote it first, but next chapter is centric around FullMetal Alchemist, so you'll all get your wish. However, Artemis Fowl may not be included unless shiechan decides to help, or I(Stripe) reread the books.
Please note this is my first attempt into the Harry Potter fandom, so I do not know much about the characters apart from what I've read in the books. Therefore it is quite likely they will be out of character. Forgive me!
The Philosopher's Stone
Written by - Shiechan and Stripe
Chapter 1 - The Feudal Era

Naraku sat in a secluded cabin, looking very much human. Unfortunately, he had little use for this form now that he had abandoned the castle. The only advantage it really provided was being small enough to properly fit within the cabin he now inhabited. This would hopefully be a temporary measure. He held the nearly complete jewel out in his outstretched hand. As powerful as the jewel was... he was rather bored with it. It just seemed so trivial anymore. There had to be something better... something complete and ready for him to use.
"Kanna." The white ghost of a child turned her head silently, without so much as the rustle of cloth. "Find something more powerful than the shikon jewel." If it seemed a strange command to Kanna, she showed no signs of thinking so. She flashed her mirror towards him, at first showing nothing but a vauge fog. Then, things came into focus. Naraku found himself staring at a substance that could not keep shape. At one point it was a bloodred stone, but at another it was something completely different...
"The Philosopher's Stone." Came Kanna's hushed whisper. "It can grant eternal life to the user," Naraku felt a grin spreading across his face. It was perfect. Demons could be killed easily and purified, but if he had eternal life, there would be no problem with a preistess coming around and getting rid of him. Then he could use the shikon jewel to become a full demon, and he would be invincible.
"Where might I find such a treasure?" He asked, greed clearly showing through his voice and sinister grin.
"Through the other side of the well..." This only made Naraku even more excited about this new source of power. He knew the well led to a different world. If that were the case, no one from this world would be capable of defeating him. He immediately summoned one of his venomous wasps, giving it quick orders.
"Find Kagura and the boy. We're leaving,"

It was a normal day for Kagome.
She was being chewed out for being late by an irritated hanyou, and Shippou was trying to stick up for her the best he could. The truth was, she hadn't really been late at all, but complaining that she had been just seemed to be Inuyasha's normal greeting. Kagome was now thoroughly convinced he was incapable of saying a "Hello" or, "Great! You're back, I missed you!". No, for eternity all he would say was "You're late" and proceed to argue about it.
Of course, the thought that she was arguing with something that was half demon of all things never really crossed her mind. Not anymore. It was all normal to her, she hardly found her gaze drifting to his dog ears or golden eyes anymore.
"Fine, you win, I was late, It won't happen again. Where are Sango and Miroku?" Kagome asked, trying to prevent Shippou from gaining another bump on the head courtesy of Inuyasha's fist.
"Pah, how should I know? Miroku's probably trying to flirt with all the pretty girls he can find, and Sango's causing him permanent brain damage as he does it," The hanyou gave a shrug and bopped Shippou once more on the head, just to remind him who was boss.
Kagome opened her mouth to say something before deciding against it. As the two other humans in the group weren't ready to go, it meant that they wouldn't leave for another few minutes at the least. It also helped prove her theory that Inuyasha had only started the fight for the purpose of a greeting, as it seemed likely if she were late they might have been waiting by the well. There were very few moments where she could really relax in the Feudal Era, she figured now was probably one of those few moments.

Sango was not happy. In fact, Sango was not just unhappy, but practicaly fuming.
Usually, it would have taken a lot to get her quite this angry, even from him. But Naraku's lack of actions had her on edge recently, and the fact that Miroku was off trying to woo women into "bearing his child" instead of figuring out why certainly wasn't helping. Yet... she knew smacking him over the head wouldn't help. Somewhere, deep within his perverted mind of his, she knew that he was just as worried as she was.
"So what about you? You are quite pretty. Would you like the honor of bearing my child?"
This did not keep Sango from seriously considering bashing him over the head with her Hiraikoutsu. That worry must have been buried very deeply into his mind, maybe knocking him in the head a few times would knock the thought loose.
She leaned against the side of a house, watching the monk's actions from afar. For now she'd leave him be...
Suddenly, Miroku's head shot up in surprise, and it didn't take Sango very long to figure out why. The taijiya quickly mimicked the action when she felt the huge amount of evil energy heading their way at top speeds. There was only one explanation.
Naraku.

Harry stared at the headmaster incredulously. "A Philosopher's Stone? But how? Didn't your friend..."
"Yes, Flamel has sworn off of his immortality potion. I am not entriely sure myself how it came into being, quite possibly another party entirely. Whether they are foe or friend I have yet to determine." He let out a heavy, very un Dumbledore-like sigh. "You realize the consequences if Voldemort were to get his hands on this stone? He would be invincible. I have the members of the Order out now to try and beat him to it, but I feel you should be properly warned."
Harry simply nodded, somewhat dumbfounded. "What do you want me to do about it?"
"You can't do much, by being bound to the school, but I find you and your friends have an uncanny talent to find out exactly what's going on. Prehaps encourage Ms. Granger to find what she can on alchemy, or take a few trips out about the school with that cloak of yours. I trust you will find out everything you can on the subject within the confines of this school." Dumbledore recieved an affirmative nod. "Good. Now off with you. I would hate to make you late to Transfiguration after all." The headmaster waved Harry off with a good-natured smile, and the boy wasn't eager to disobey.

She had felt it for a while, but Kagome still hadn't quite been prepared when Hiraikotsu came spinning threw the trees, signlaing the arrival of the massive evil that was Naraku. Startled, she reached for her bow and arrows, hoping she might be able to get a clear shot at the demon. Unfortunately, her bow was soon sliced in half by an all-too familiar blade. Looking up with a startled gasp, she saw the dull brown eyes of a child. Kagome had ignored the single shard standing on its own, Naraku's large shard had covered its prescence completely.
"Kohaku!" Sango came bursting through the trees on Kirara, now noticing her younger brother's prescence. Miroku was soon to follow, grasping the beads around his cursed hand, just in case he would be forced to use the kazanaa again. However, the constant buzz of wasps reminded him of his weakness, to which he seemed none too happy about.
No sooner had Inuyasha pulled out his Tessaiga did he need to use it to defend from the sudden blades of wind launched at him from above. "Damn, seems like Naraku's going all out this time." He growled, raising the sword from the ground after the blades had dissolved.
"Unfortunately, Inuyasha, we have not come you detatch your head today. We are intrested in other things." This gained a collective look of shock among the five of Inuyasha's group. If he wasn't after their deaths, then why did he bother to come to them unless...
Kagome was not too happy when she realized what was about to happen, but there wasn't any time to stop them. Within an instant, Naraku, Kagura, Kohaku, and Kanna had disappeared, a faint trace of posion lingering around the edges of the Bone Eaters Well. Without thinking, Kagome tried to leap in after the demon, but Miroku held her back. "Don't, Kagome-sama. Its too dangerous. He's left traces of his poison, you would die if you went in now.
"But... But my family's there! He'll kill them!" She tried to break from Miroku's grasp, but the monk wouldn't let go of her shoulder.
"You wont be able to stop him if you're lying dead at the bottom of the well. We need to wait for now." He let go of her shoulder as the young preistess fell to the ground, sobbing quietly.
-o-
"Brother... Are you sure this will work? Remember what happened with Mo-"
"Shut up! I'm certain this time. You're still alive, these theories are perfect... This will work! It has to!"
Both occupants within the room remained quiet, silently considering the possible consequences of their actions. The last thing any of them heard was a clap, followed by a large flash.

Ending Notes:
So, how was it? I don't know why, but writing the very last Inuyasha scene depressed me. And for those of you who think that's a little overdramatic... Deal with it. I'm going off assumptions based off of episode 100(when they have the nightmares in the cocoons), so basically, her worst nightmare is coming true... Plus, if you thought your entire family was going to die, and you could do nothing to stop it,I think you'd probably start crying too.
Yes, that was an FMA teaser right at the end there.
-Chapter 2 Preview-
"Now," Edward stared at the couple with pericing gold eyes, determined to figure out just what was going on. "Where am I?"
