InuYasha and friends, after what seemed to be an eternity, finally reached the end of the portal hole. Everyone landed safely and comfortably on a patch of soft grass--everyone except for InuYasha. Everyone's favorite hanyou's luck turned sour, since he fell on a gray metal spike.

"YEEEOW!" he shrieked, jumping about ten feet in the air before he came down and landed on something else, half soft and half hard. As he tried to catch his breath, an extremely angry voice growled "get...off...of...MEEE!"

The next minute, InuYasha was airborne for a record third time in five minutes. As he finally landed (to stay for now), the causes of his second and third airborne moments stood before him. The causes were a boy with long, blonde hair in a braided ponytail, and a huge suit of armor.

The boy said "What's the big idea, sitting on us?"

InuYasha retorted "You think I wanted to sit on you? I never asked to be thrown on top of you from a random portal from the Sengoku Jidai to...wherever the heck this place is!"

Both were obviously on the brink of snapping and getting seriously angry. The suit of armor got ready to restrain their companion, and Kagome and the others did the same for InuYasha. That was when it happened---the Ultimate Insults. These fatal insults were thrown at the same time.

"Well, maybe you should watch where you're going, you simpleminded idiot!" yelled the boy.

"Maybe you should listen to what some of us have to say, you shrimpy little runt!" InuYasha yelled at the same time.

There was a terrible silence as the two realized what the other had just said, and suddenly all hell broke loose. Yells of things like "WHO YOU CALLIN SHORT?" and "I'M NOT A SIMPLEMINDED IDIOT" were accompanied by various punches, kicks, and other attacks.

For five long minutes the terrible war raged on, while their companions looked on. Kagome and company and the person in the suit of armor began to talk, and exchange stories. Apparently, the person in the suit of armor was really just technically an empty suit of armor with a soul attached to the inside, a human named Alphonse. His older brother, Edward, was currently at war with InuYasha. This explanation wasn't thorough, however, since Al then had to run over and restrain Ed, who was kicking InuYasha in the rear with his left leg.

"OW! OWWW! WHAT THE HELL IS IN YOUR SHOE, A BOULDER?" InuYasha exclaimed in pain.

Ed, now struggling to get free of his younger brother's grasp and resume full attack again, returned with "For your information, stupid, my leg is made of steel! It's called automail!"

Insults and exclamations continued, and carried on. It was abruptly stopped, however, when Kagome reached into her backpack and brought out the ultimate peacemaking tool--lunch. The two adversaries became quick friends in their quest to satiate their hunger. By the end of lunch, the two groups had learned each other's full story. Ed and Alphonse Elric were two brothers who had tried to resurrect their deceased mother using alchemy. However, the resurrection failed, and thus Ed lost his left leg, and Al had lost his entire body. Ed then attached Al's soul to the suit of armor in exchange for his right arm. Now, Ed was a state alchemist, working for the military. The two brothers were searching for the Philosopher's Stone, which they hoped could restore their bodies to their original state. The InuYasha gang decided to tag along with their newfound friends, the Elric brothers, since they were stuck in a totally different world.

Luckily for the tired newcomers, they were pretty close to Ed and Al's hometown, a small town called Resembool.

The group approached a house, with Ed yelling "We're back!"

The impending result was two wrenches flying through the air. One hit Ed right in the forehead, the other hit InuYasha.

Five minutes later, as they both came to at the same time, they also simultaneously yelled "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?", only Ed added a name, screaming 'Winry' at the end.

A girl that was InuYasha's height with light blonde hair and blue eyes, responded to both, pointing at the one she was talking to as she went. "You're late! You were supposed to be here two hours ago! And as for you," she said, pointing to InuYasha, "you looked suspicious."

"THAT'S ALL?" InuYasha yelled, standing up in rage.

"Um, excuse us. We're very sorry for making Edward and Alphonse late," Kagome said, bowing politely, "but we sort of got lost and bumped into them."

"Oh, that's okay then," Winry said, taking the wrenches back. Five seconds later they were in another head, but it was neither Ed nor InuYasha.

Miroku, who had stealthily crept up behind Winry, now had a wrench in his forehead, a boomerang on the back of his head, and two handprints on each cheek, courtesy of Winry helped by Sango.

"I think you boys should stay outside for a while," Winry said, after inviting Kagome and Sango in.

While Kagome and Sango explained the situation to Winry, the boys all pretty much stayed bored outside. "I'm so damn bored," Ed grumbled.

"Agreed," InuYasha grumbled next to him.

Miroku, who was still treating his wounds from the wrench/boomerang/slaps, said "Why don't you train then? It always makes you feel less bored."

Ed looked up at this idea "Hey, that's a pretty good idea. I'm still itching to fight..."

"Heh! Okay then, how about a rematch for earlier? You versus me in a training battle!"

"You're on! Uh, hey, wait, where's Al?" Ed asked, suddenly noticing the absence of his younger brother.

"He's over there, with Shippo," Miroku said, pointing to a nearby tree, where Al's unmistakable metal body gleamed in the sunlight, "and I think I heard some mewing near them."

Ed sighed. "Al loves cats. I guess we'll let him play with it for a while. Anyway, shall we fight, InuYasha?" He smirked in that smirky way that only Edward Elric can smirk. And so, the battle began.

Ed began by throwing a right punch at InuYasha's face. InuYasha, who was taller than Ed by at least a foot, easily dodged this and punched Ed right in the gut, sending him flying. Clapping his hands together, Ed made the ground turn into a giant earthy tentacle like thing, which homed in on InuYasha.

"I'm getting the feeling like this just happened...oh yeah, the damn Sakana Youkai that started this mess!" InuYasha thought aloud, thus barely dodging the earth spike tentacle thing, which went for him again. This time, InuYasha was ready. He transformed the Tetsusaiga and slashed the earth into little earthy bits.

"Sorry, Ed, but I've already perfected a trick for that!" he yelled triumphantly.

"Well then, how about some sword combat?" Ed yelled back, taking hold of a lump of metal and turning it into a sword. Their swords clashed for only two minutes, however, because the girls opened the door and yelled "DINNER TIME!"

It turned out that after explaining the situation to Winry, the girls had talked for a while and become friends. Since they knew at least two of the people outside would be hungry even if they were sitting, they all cooked a feast together. Said feast was soon gone, however, thanks to those that it had been primarily made for. As much as they loved the huge dinner, strangely enough, they found room for dessert. There were three pies, and the portions eaten made it so that Ed got one pie's worth, InuYasha another pie's worth, and the rest the third pie's worth. Everyone was drinking milk, except for Al, who couldn't drink milk, and Ed, who was trying very hard to pretend that the milk wasn't even there, in order to keep the rest of his food down. As Ed crammed a piece of pie into his mouth, there was a loud knock on the door..

"Hello, FullMetal," Roy Mustang said. Ed's look of utter unhappiness to see him usually made him laugh or something, but now he was just standing there, as serious as ever. In fact, Ed noticed, he seemed a little...was it actually fearful?

"I see you have guests," he said to the silent and thinking Ed, gesturing to his new friends.

"Yeah, they were lost so we're helping them out," he replied, "Anyway, what are you doing here?"

Roy looked uncomfortable at the question. "Well, we were going to ask for your assistance in capturing the Homunculus Gluttony, who's been eating random townspeople, but last I heard everything was under control. Since I was already here, I decided to drop by and say hi."

Ed looked hard at Roy for a minute, then said "I'd like to introduce you to my friends, outside though since it's pretty crowded in here." As Ed, Alphonse, and the InuYasha gang left, Pinako walked in.

"Winry, say goodbye," she said, waving herself. After Winry did what she was told, she asked why.

"There is a good chance that they may not return here, for a while, if ever."

"WHAT?"

The ever-wise Pinako explained that she had been talking with Kagome, and that Kagome said she sensed something strange. Also, Ed had said that he might not come back for a while.

"Agh! That JERK!" Winry said, "Why does he have to make us all so worried?" She sniffled. "It's always secrets, secrets, secrets! It's driving me insane!"

Outside, the group assembled themselves.

Mustang said "Well, you were going to do introductions, correct?"

"Yeah, that's right, I was. Everyone, this is Colonel Roy Mustang. Or at least, that's who this cross-dressing palm tree is pretending to be. Isn't that right, i b Envy /b /i ?" Ed growled, kicking the Colonel in the stomach. Being that he had used his left leg to kick, Roy spat out blood, then began to change form.

"What the hell is going on?" InuYasha asked, "is that Naraku?"

"No, who's Naraku?" Al asked, then he quickly explained what was going on. "It looks like one of our enemies, Envy, was pretending to be Nii-san's superior officer in the military. I suggest you get ready to fight, Envy's really ruthless."

Everyone looked to Envy, who was just standing up.

"Wow, so she's pretty ruthless, from what you say?" Miroku asked, "I think she's pretty nice looking, with the hair and the skimpy clothes."

Envy heard this, and when Ed saw the look that Envy gave Miroku, one of insulted surprise, one that was so priceless that he had to transmute a camera to take a picture, he couldn't help but fall on the ground laughing. Envy said to Miroku, with said priceless look on his face,

"I'm a MAN you IDIOT!" Simultaneously with this, Sango routinely bashed Miroku on the head, stopping in the middle as Envy said that. Miroku's priceless face matched the priceless-ness of Envy's, and another picture was quickly taken. After stuffing the two pictures in his pocket, Ed turned to attack Envy, but it was too late. Touching the Ouroboros symbol on his thigh, Envy had made a giant wave of energy, which made a giant hole in the ground. Shippo fell in first, then Kagome and Sango started to fall in; InuYasha and Miroku respectively caught them, thus making them fall in. Envy grinned evilly.

"There we go, now I'm not outnumbered as much, eh, Fullmetal Pip-squeak?"

Ed growled "Don't call me that, you stupid palm tree."

"Chibi-san, pip-squeak, shrimp, shorty, midget, half-pint, bean sprout, runt, etc., all are synonymous wit the name Edward Elric to me. So pick whichever one you want me to call you, o extremely little one."

Ed's temper totally burst, and he started slashing at Envy.

"Now, now, you may as well settle down, shorty, you'll be joining your friends soon anyway."

With that, he pushed Ed towards the pit, but Alphonse blocked his fall, meaning that he fell instead.

"AL! NO!" Ed yelled, reaching futilely for his brother.

"Join him, runt. I don't think he'd want to be stuck somewhere all alone. I mean, come on, what if I found him again and you weren't there?"

Ed paled at the very mention. He didn't want to think about that at all.

"Now that all is said and done, goodbye." Envy hugged Ed in a brief random moment strangely reminiscent of shounen-ai, pecked him on the cheek like a parent sending their child to school, which further made the scene seem like shounen-ai and threw him into the pit.

"What the hell was that for--yaaaaaah!" Ed yelled blushingly at Envy, seeing him for what would probably be the last time in a long time.

"Sayounara, FullMetal Pip-squeak!" Envy grinned and closed up the hole. "Too bad I had to get rid of him. It's so fun messing around with him . I almost hope he comes back."

Meanwhile, Ed was falling down the endless hole, and somehow caught up to his brother, who had caught up with InuYasha, Sango, Miroku, Kagome, and Shippo, so that they all fell through the portal together.
