Chapter two: A way home?
Edward glanced at his pocket watch as he dragged behind the others. He was still a little freaked out that he had somehow traveled back in time the feudal era. 'I still don't get it… I mean there can't be such a time rip… this has to be a dream.' He sighed and looked up at the sky. 'Maybe this is all in my head…' SLAP! The sound echoed through the forest causing Ed to look up. "What the-?"
"I blame…….. the hand!" Miroku cried as he pointed to his right hand that held the wind tunnel. Sangos eye twitches as she tries to keep her rage under control. Kagome sighs and looks back at Edward.
"Why don't u come and walk with us?" She asks him with a small smile. Inuyasha scoffs but doesn't say anything. Edward smiles a little and catches up to kagome. "So where do you come from?" Edward smiles. "Besides the future I mean!"
"Well, I travel a lot, working for the military, doing what ever they tell me too..." Edward rubs his head sheepishly. Kagome smiles as Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku and Shippou all get an odd look on their faces.
"What's a "Military"" Shippou asks confused. Kagome laughs as Ed smiles. "A military is just another term for an army... Do you know what an army is?" he asked the small fox demon who was now walking beside him.
"OH ok… I see now!" Shippou nodded and Inuyasha suddenly appeared in front of him causing him to almost fall flat on his face. Edo got back on his feet to be greeted by an annoyed look from Inuyasha.
"What the hell was that for Dog-freak?" He snapped, getting irritated that he wasn't able to wake up from this dream. Inuyasha just continued to look at him, making Ed angrier at him and himself for running off in the first place. "Look what ever I did, why don't you sue me for it?" Inuyasha snorted.
"Heh, you're a pathetic fool, working like a dog on a leash" He mocked, "I bet you have to have the military tell you what to do..." Ed turned red with hatred for the dog demon and before he could transmute his right arm into a sword, Inuyasha had fallen to the ground, with Kagome's voice yelling sit, directed towards Inuyasha. Shippou sighed and Ed sweat dropped before walking around him and past the others who were watching the scene unfold before them.
"Wait! Where are you going?" Miroku called out after him. Kirara followed as he continued to walk away. Miroku sighed, "Well there he goes…" Sango ran after him in an attempt to bring him back or at least slow him down.
Mustang paced his office floor while havoc read off the statistics for the search report. "Damn.. So still no sight of him" he dismissed him and sat down at his desk and stacked his papers absentmindly. Hawkeye sighed and continued to polish her gun, considering it was the only thing that was keeping her nerves from blowing up, which would cause her to yell or shoot at mustang to keep him calm. She chuckled softly at that. Shooting him would definitely not keep him calm. It would cause him to panic. She giggled helplessly earning herself a scolding look from Mustang. She calmed down and faked a serious look and went back to polishing her gun. Mustang sighed.
"Where the hell is Edward! I hope he isn't hiding from us just to get back at me for what I said to him…" he wondered aloud. Hawkeye looked up.
"Sir, I don't think it's your fault and there is a possibility that he could have been kidnapped so let's just hope that he comes back safe and sound" She stated to his question. Roy sighed and turned away.
