[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

"Hurry up Al!" Edward Elric shouted over his shoulder as he ran accross the street, narrowly missing being hit by a coca cola semi. Alphonse stopped at the crossing, frantically looking both ways before he crossed,

"Wait brother!" Edward looked further down the street. Two large shapes dressed in black made their way down the street, unseen by passersby. Ed clapped his hands together and quickly smacked them on the ground several trees grew in the street, sending street cars careening in all directions to miss them.

"Come on Al! Hurry!" Edward shouted as his brothers clunky metal body lumbered accross the street.

"Brother, where are we going?" Al shouted as they ran toward and old family shrine.

"We can't let them get near you Al. With my arm injured like this I can barely defend myself, let alone you! We have to go see Winry soon, but for now let's just find somewhere to hide!" Ed shouted in response dashing up the stone steps to reveal a large house and several smaller buildings.

"Hide brother? But where?" Ed looked around frantically, his eyes locking on a small dark grey shed. He grabbed his brother's arm.

"Come on, in there." They dashed by a large tree and Ed nearly tripped on a particularly fat cat as they attempted to hide in the shed that held the ancient well. Ed pulled open the doors shoving his brother inside and closing the doors behind him. He winced and fell to his knees holding his metal arm. "Damn, vultures. . ." He whispered to himself.

"Brother? are you okay?" Ed didn't respond and instead looked in between the cracks of the wood, He watched the forms move closer to the shrine. He looked around, there was nothing inside, but an old well. He ran over to it and noticed that it had doors that had been flung open.

"Al we can hide in this well. Maybe then I can find some kind of way to dig us out of here. I'll climb down, when you come down try and close the doors behind you, got that?" Ed looked at his brother. He would close the doors himself, but the battle before had rendered his arm practically useless when it came to fighting. He saw Al nod his agreement and began to desend as quickly as he could. His arm however prevented him from getting very far. and he slipped and fell to the bottom of the well. He shouted in surprise when he slipped and Al looked down after him, "Brother!! Are you okay?" When no answer came he began to get frantic. He heard a restle at the doors. He quickly pulled the doors shut and locked them with a nearby rod. "I'll be back for you brother." He said, then turned, prepared to fight whatever came through those doors. . .

"Aww gramps, you're seeing things. Nothing came anywhere near this shed. Except maybe Buyo. . ." His grandpa however pulled back the doors and stood in awww at the scene before him. Souta jumped backwards and shouted,

"What is that thing?!?!" His grandfather stood in shocked scilence.

"Uhhh, hi." Al said feeling a little embarrassed. "Did you see two. . .monsters any where??" Souta and his Grandfather didn't answer. Just stood staring at the giant talking suit of armor. "You're not going to hurt me right?" Al added, his embarrassment growing by the second. Souta shook his head slowly from side to side.

"How can you. . .Why are you talking?" Souta finally asked a stroke of bravery hitting him. "Are you from the feudal era??" He added hastily, "Do you know Inuyasha and my sister?" He stood a little taller with each question.

Al looked confused (well at least as confused as a suit of armor possibly can) "Inu....Inu what?? What are you talking about? I'm sorry, but. . ." suddenly he remembered his brother. "Oh, brother." He turned around and pulled the doors off the well. "Brother? Can you hear me?" Souta and Gramps looked at eachother in confusion, Has that thing gone crazy? When no answer came from the well Al grew worried. He looked at the man and the young boy, "Can you help me? I think my brother is hurt. How deep is this well?" Gramps finally found his voice.

"Only about 15 feet deep." he answered. Looking more puzzled then ever.

Souta shot up, "Just a second. I'll be right back." Then he ran out of the shack.

Gramps looked at the thing quizzically, "So your uh. . .brother fell into the well huh?" Al nodded. Gramps looked a little more worried, This is crazy!! Why did Souta leave me here by myself?

(MEANWHILE IN FEUDAL JAPAN)

"Inuyasha!! Sit boy!" The silver haired hanyou's face smacked into the ground. "I don't want to have this conversation any more! I already told you I'll stay until Wednesday, but then I have to go home for a few days, so what are you complaining about?" Kagome Higurashi stood with her hands on her hips and a cold look in her eye.

"And I told you," Inuyasha began as he pulled himself up out of the dirt. "That I need. . ." He was interupted by a yell at the bottom of the bone eaters well.

"Brother!! Al! A little help please? Are they gone? What's all that shouting!" Inuyasha and Kagome looked at one another, completely confused. Kagome began to walk over to the well.

"Kagome!! No stay back! He pulled out his tetsusaiga and jumped toward the well, peering into its depth.

Kagome went to her backpack and pulled out a flashlight. Then ran over next to Inuyasha to peer into the well as well. When the light found a teenager with blonde hair and golden eyes not unlike Inuyasha's she let out a small gasp. Edward tried to shield some of the light with his forarm, the wrong one. "ahh!" Inuyasha jumped back. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOUR ARM!?!?" He shouted into the well. Kagome looked at Inuyasha skeptically, it was automail, she had seen it before. It was deffinately a device of the future though. Inuyasha came over to the well again, "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOUR ARM?!?!" He repeated. Kagome felt bad for the boy and shouted, "Inuyasha!"

"What?" he responded, only lowering his tone, because for some reason he felt a sit coming on.

Ed finally spoke up, "Will someone tell me what the hell is going on here?? Where is my brother?"

Kagome and Inuyasha looked around reflexively. Then Inuyasha sniffed the air. He looked puzzled for a moment. "Kagome, for some reason. . .that guy kind of smells like. . .your. . .your hair." Kagome looked at him, kind of surprised he could pick out the smell of her hair. Then sombered.

She shouted down the well. "I don't see anyone else around! Can you climb out of there yourself or do you need help?"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "He probably can't even reach the first vine. . .I mean look at him. I'll go find some rope."

Ed felt the heat rise in his chest. "What'd'ya mean! Are you calling me a pipsqueek? A little halfpint who can't reach the stupid vine? huh?" He ranted. Inuyasha and Kagome looked at eachother again.

"Fiesty little one aren't you?" Inuyasha said under his breath, Kagome giggled.

But Ed heard, "Come down here and say that ya dog eared freak!!" Inuyasha turned around. And lept onto the side of the well,

"Don't tempt me you freakin' midgit!" Inuyasha retorted as he lifted tetsusaiga over his head.

"Inuyasha!!" Kagome yelled, grabbing onto the back of this kimono and attempting to pull him off the ledge. Suddenly like a flash the boy leaped out of the well, fists ready.

"Bring it on," He began, then stopped as he looked around, "Where the hell am I?" Ed wondered aloud. Inuyasha jumped down off the ledge,

"You're not going to live long enough to find out!" Inuyasha said as he took a step closer to Ed. Kagome rolled her eyes,

"Finally! Sit boy!" Inuyasha's face smacked into the dirt for the second time that day. "Are you okay?" She ran over to Edward's side, "Wow." She said as she looked at his arm. "That's quite a piece of work you've got there! Tell me. . .how did you get through the well. And why were you at my home??" She questioned.

Ed smiled, this girl was kinda cute, he held out his hand. "Name's Edward. . .Edward Elric."
