Chapter Ten

A New Arrival

"Ed!" Winry cried as she rose and ran to him. "I, we were all soo scared! We, we couldn't find you and Al. Al! Is he here with you, please tell me he's here as well!"

"Winry! What're you doing here?" Al turned to find her with Ed.

"Who's this now? A beautiful young maiden? Now why are you crying?"

"Miroku you touch here and I'll kill you!" Ed readily transmuted his hand into a blade and stepped in front of Winry.

"Hentai! You touch her and I'll cut off both of your hands!" Sango spat stepping forward.

"Sango, my sweet! If you're worried about my affections changing for you, they won't." He pulled her into a tight hug; Sango's back facing Ed and them.

Miroku hand moved swiftly over her butt. "AHH, Miroku, you freaking pervert! I swear I'll kill you!" Sango grabbed her Hiraikotsu and slammed it over Miroku's head, completely taking him out. "You hear me you disgusting Lecher!"

"Sango, I don't think he can hear anything!" Kagome walked over and tapped his side with her shoe. Sango bent down to smack his cheek; giving Miroku, even though he was 'unconscious' to rub her back side, although she was only planning to lightly smack him, she too the opportunity to take a full swing, hitting him hard enough he flew close to Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's battle.

"Gyaa!" He quickly scrambled to his feet, running and hiding behind Al.

"Do they always act like this?" The FMA gang asked in perfect unison.

"Yeah." Kagome rubbed the back of her head.

"Who are those men, the one's fighting over there?" Winry looked in front of Ed.

"Ah, that's Inuyasha and Sesshomaru. They're Half brothers." Al looked at Ed.

"That's gotta make you feel better about your relationship." Winry turning to Al with a weak smile. "So, where are we?"

"Do we have to explain this again?" asked Shippo rolling his eyes.

"No, Shippo we'll take care of things." It took Ed and Al a while to explain everything to Winry. Winry seemed as though she didn't believe a word, but that was to be expected, they hadn't believed that much either.

"Are the 'best buddies' done fighting yet?" Sango resented that those two threw away the fact they were brothers soo needlessly.

"No, not quite." Just as Kagome said that, Inuyasha unleashed Tetsusaiga's key attack.

"Windscar!" Yellow bolts of destructive power erupted from the sword, heading toward Sesshomaru.

"Now, now, little brother. Don't forget that I knew that attack before you were born!" Sesshomaru lunged at his brother, his claws up, ready for the attack, seeping with poison. "Poison claws." His claws met Inuyasha's shoulder this time, sending him flying.

Inuyasha smashed into a tree. Slumping to the bottom. Rubbing his head then, grabbing his shoulder, which had a steady stream of blood coming from it. All of the spectators winced in spite of Inuyasha's pain. "Inuyasha!" Kagome started to run to him.

"Stay away! He'll have no problem killing you!"

"Aw, Inuyasha are you trying to protect her? You think that would work? Even if she isn't my target, I could have still killed her when she was over there." He launched another attack, this time for Inuyasha's stomach. He hit his target.

"No Inuyasha! Sesshomaru!" She laced her bow, ready to kill. "You leave now or I swear I kill you! Remember my arrows have sacred powers, and they'll kill a demon, much like yourself."

"Fine, I'll go. But don't you dare think for a moment that this is over," he turned to face the unconscious Inuyasha, "I'll kill this useless hanyou and get my sword." He walked over and met Rin and Jaken, and they left. Rin and Jaken riding Aun (A/N: SP? It's Sesshomaru's demon.).

"Inuyasha!" Kagome ran to him, there being nothing to stop her this time. Tears flowing down her face. Nothing could make this worse for her.

He opened his eyes, only to see her crying. "Please, Kagome. Don't cry, please?" His eyes flickered in and out of focus.

"And why shouldn't I? You're hurt and you wouldn't let us help!" She leaned in and hugged him. That was the last thing he remembered.

He next woke up in Kaede's hut. His eyes darted around the room, mostly to find anyone familiar. Ed walked into the hut.

"Ah, you're okay then? Your injuries were terrible. Kagome wouldn't leave the hut for the first couple of days."

"Where's Kagome now?"

"Out with Sango and Winry."

"Your Winry, the one you were talking about?"

"Yes."

"Wait, you said 'the first couple of days', how long have I been asleep?"

"Um, maybe…5 days."

"5 days! Aw, man we could've found Naraku and killed him in 5 days." He leaned back in disgust. "Damn this half-breed body of mine! The fraility of the Human half pisses me off!"

"Why do you detest it so much? I don't mind being human."

"Yes, but you've never experience anything else other than being a human."

"Hmm. I should tell Kagome you're awake."

"Wait a little while; give me time to wake up a little. She'll worry if I look too tired."

"I can relate to that with Win." Ed turned on his heal, leaving casually.

About 10 minutes had passed when Kagome came storming in the Hut with Winry behind her, dragging Ed by his ear.

"So, he was awake and you didn't feel it necessary to tell me!" Kagome was pissed.

"I told him not to!" Inuyasha stood to defend the poor alchemist.

"And you listened!" Winry hit Ed in the forehead with the wrench that was attached to her belt.

"Gyaa! Don't hit me with that! I bought that for you!" Too late, he was out cold now.

"Why did you tell him not to tell me?" Kagome thought she demanded very little from Inuyasha, but she thought he owed her this much.

"I didn't want you to worry." He couldn't even look at her; her eyes would be full of un-fallen tears.

"I always worry about you! It's hard not to, you always get yourself in such dilemmas, your life is always in danger!" Her hands were shaking in tightly clenched fists, there were tears streaming down her cheeks, and all Inuyasha knew was that it was his fault.

"Please don't cry, Kagome. Not over me at least. I'm not worth your tears."

"What are you talking about? What do you mean you're not worth my tears?"

"I'm not, plain and simple."

"And why is this?"

"Because you shouldn't cry over a half-breed."

"What does the fact that you're a half-breed have to do with this?"

"Plenty, half-breeds are useless, didn't you hear Sesshomaru?"

"If you don't like him, then why do you listen to what he has to say?"

"…" He knew she was right, although he'd never admit that.

"I'll get more medicine to treat your injuries." She rose and left, stepping over Ed's unconscious body, she took Winry with her.

"Hey….You okay Alchemist Boy? Hello?" Inuyasha kicked him sharply in the side.

"Gnng, What do you what Mustang, you annoying piece of…"

"I'm not Mustang, get up!" Inuyasha spat as he kicked Ed in the side again.

"What the hell happened, why does my head hurt?" He grabbed his forehead in pain.

"Your girlfriend hit you with a piece of metal, I think you called it a wrench."

"She's not my girlfriend! Damn her! I bought her that frickin' thing and she keeps hitting me with it!"
