____________________________________________________


~Central Headquarters~

Ed and Al had just gotten done explaining their discovery to Maes and Colonel Mustang. The room was silent as Maes and Mustang digested the information. "That is quite a discovery, but are you sure it was this supposed 'Youkai'?" Maes was the first to break the silence. The Elrics nodded in union and held out the book out to show them. "What the writers describe in this book is almost exactly like what happened to those people." Ed replied in a solem voice. Al just nodded again.

Mustang snatched the book out of Ed's hands and skimmed threw the pages. "Did the book say if there is anyway to track down Youkai?" Mustang asked in a serious voice. "We need to find it and, find it now, there was another attack today..." Ed nodded, "The book told about something called a 'Miko'. Or a shrine maiden/priestess. These Mikos' had unusual powers, that allowed them to sense demon aura's. In other words their lifeforces. (I think thats what and aura is, correct me if im wrong!!) Some Miko's even possed a purifying power, that would, depending on the strength of the demon, kill it on contact. But from the book said, when the Youkai disappeared, the Mikos had no use for their purifying powers anymore."

"It said that since the Mikos' didn't need the purifying powers, they kind of disappeared just like the Youkai did. But it also said that some shrine maidens are born with a little of those powers, but never know it."

"So...." Maes said, "If we can find a 'Miko' to locate and destroy it, we'll have it made!! Even if the Miko can't kill the Youkai, she can at least try and locate it for us!!" Maes said triumphantly (sp?). "Then I can spend more time with my sweet, darling, Elysia!!" He said as he pulled out the same picture from before. "Maes, this is not the time." Came the aggitated reply from the Colonel. (i keep switching names like colonel, mustang, roy... he has too many titles/names.... grrrrr.)

"I don't think there are any shrines in Central, but there may be a few in Japan, which is even better since thats where all the attacks were held. I'll get right on it, but I suggest everyone else get a good nights sleep. From what Ed says, thes Youkai can be very dangerous." Maes said as he left the room, talking over his shoulder.

"Hughes is right, I have some calls to make to the Fuhrer, but you boys should get some sleep. Its gonna be a long day tomorrow. I can promise you on that." The Elric boys watched the retreating form of the Colonel. For their stay in Central, Maes had arranged for them a room to sleep in. It was a plain white room with a window and two beds with sheets, pillows, and a blanket. Ed chose the bed closest to the window. He took off his red cloak (im just gonna call it a cloak...) and dropped it on the floor. He walked to the end of the bed and fell face first on hard mattress. He kicked off his boots and rolled over, pulling the blanket to his chest. (thats what i do when im really tired.... which is most of the time)


Al walked over to the side of his bed and sat down, staring at his brother. He couldn't sleep. Literally. When one would say he was asleep, it just meant he wasn't activated. He fell into darkness, with no dreams or nightmares. Just darkness. Sometimes the darkness was comforting, but when he didn't want to be comforted, he would watch his brother sleep. He would watch Ed toss and turn in his bed, with the nightmares of the attempted Human Transmutation. One time Al even heard Ed whisper he was sorry to him. Al sighed and layed down, waiting for the darkness to consume him once again.


~Japan~ (i know, about damn time, lol)- its the same day ed and souta met.... crashed!! well now its nightime


A young woman about the age of 18 could be seen walking down the streets of Japan, cursing under her breath. She had beautiful raven hair that went down to her bottom, it had a midnight blue sheen to it. (ahahahhahahaha, i said bottom!! sorry) Her skin was iluminated by the moon's rays, giving the effect it was glowing. Her eyes were a sapphire color with crimson mixed in them, her eyes held a sertain fire in them, and deep sadness. Right now her eyes alos held anger from her job. (if you haven't noticed i changed her occupation, she is a waitress!! sorry!! it just makes it easier to write this chapter!!) She spends 8 hours at the damn resteraunt, and the whole time she is being gropped by perverted OLD MEN!!

'One of these days I swear to Kami I'm gonna take that wooden tray and crack it on the next person's head that gropes me! Grrrrrr......... I hope Souta's day went better than mine.....' The raven haired beauty thought to herself. Kagome sighed as she looked up the steps to her shrine. 'Do I really have to climb all these stupid stairs?!?!' Kagome looked around and saw that there was no one on the street. She bent her knees a little and jumped all the way up the stairs. 'Sometimes it's good to be a demon!! No more climbing stairs for me!! Mwahahahahahaha, poor Souta....' Kagome sighed as she walked to the main shrine and pulled out her keys. She found the right one and put it in the lock, hearing the click she turned the knob and walked inside. She saw that the living room was empty, guessing Souta was in his room.

She put her keys back in her purse and flicked on the light. When the bright light came on and she quickly turned it off. "I hate this light, it's too bright I swear. I'm gonna go blind someday when I want to read a book or something." She mumbled while just turning the tv on for the source of light. Kagome walked into the kitchen and put her purse on the counter, and turned towards another doorway that led to the stairs. She walked up the stairs slowly.Thinking that she should have jumped these too. When she finally reached the top, she looked down the hallway towards her room, longingly. She wanted sooo badly to open the door and just fall down on the bed, but she looked to another door, the one belonging to her little brother.

She walked to her brother's door and knocked on it softly. She heard a 'Come in.' and turned the knob. She was greeted with that acursed bright light again, but went into the room again. She saw her brother sitting on his bed, head down, looking at something in his hands. She too looked down and saw it was a picture, but not just any picture. It was the family picture, with herself, Souta, Momma, Grandpa, and their Father. Kagome was just about 8 and Souta was 4. That was the last time she remembered her Father, that was the last time she ever saw him. The reason they took that picture is so the Higurashi siblings would always remember their brave Father that went the military.

Unforchantly a year later they recieved a letter saying their Father had died in action. The Higurashi's hated the military, they had forced their Father/Husband/Son to join. It was because of them that their Father had died. The Higurashi's also feared the military, because in about four years Souta would be probably be forced to join. The only reason Kagome wasn't in the military was because Souta had no one else to take care of him, not even a family friend. So they could only guess when Souta turned 18 they would both be forced to join. Kagome sat down next to her brother and rapped an arm around her brother, hugging him to her side. She rested her head on the top of his, which was getting hard to do since he was nearly taller than her. Kagome was about to fall asleep when Souta spoke.

"I'm sorry Kagome."

Kagome opened her eyes and looked down at him, wondering what her meant. "Your sorry for what, Souta? You didn't try and put a grape in the microwave again, did you?" (i did that once!! it was funny!! but my mom didn't think it was!! my dad did though!!)

Souta frowned and shook his head no. "No.... I went.... I went away from the house, to Central." He said, his head hanging low, a single tear steaked down his face. Kagome's eyes widened."Souta!! I told you not to wonder from the shrine!! You know theres a Chimera running around!! And why Central, you know thats a hot spot for the military!!" Souta looked down in shame. He looked up again and looked her straight in the eyes. "If it's so dangerous out there then why do you go?!" Kagome could tell that he was trying to avoid the subject. "I can protect myself, I can purify that Chimera or I can set it aflame or freeze it to death!! I would be alright!! You wouldn't! Those people who were attacked were older than you, and even they couldn't defend themselves!"

Souta looked down again, knowing that his sister was right. She was always right, thinking before she acted. He was so reckless, he could have been killed, and then Kagome would be all alone in the world. Souta sighed and leaned his head on his sister's shoulder, his eyes half closed. (awww, sibling bonds are soo cute!! to bad mine and my lil sis's arent like that....) "Hey Souta, what do you want for dinner? I was thinking along the lines of oden, oden, orr oden!!" Souta smiled at his sisters statement. "That bad of a day at work, ne?" Kagome always had oden when she had a really bad day at work. She nodded with a small frown on her face. But it quickly turned into a big grin when she remembered ramen.

Kagome lept off the bed and out the door. She raced down the hall with a new burst of energy. She still had the huge grin on her face while she was thinking of oden. Souta laughed and stood from his bed, taking off after his sister. Kagome already had the pot on the burner of the stove with water in it beginning to boil. Kagome frowned down at the pot, knowing it would take about a good ten minutes for the stupid thing to heat up. She then got a sly look on her face and held her hand above the pot. A crimson glow surrounded her hand as the water began to immedatly boil. Kagome smiled in victory and poured the noodles in the water.

Souta just rolled his eyes at her and smiled. It was kind of cool having a demon for a sister. Souta even remembered one time during a Spring night Kagome woke him up and took him outside.

~Flashback~

She led him threw the forest that surrounded the shrine into a clearing with a pond in the middle of it. Souta looked at her confused and she just smiled at him. She led him by hand to the waters edge. She knelt down and placed both of her hands inches away from the waters edge. A light blue glow surrounded her hands as the water beneath them began to turn into ice. When the pond was completely turned to ice Kagome pulled something out of a bag Souta hadn't even noticed she was carrying.

He was too busy being half asleep and then shocked when the water turned to ice. He finally looked at what she pulled out and found it was a pair of ice skates. She handed them to him and pulled her own pair out. "But Kagome, you know I can't skate." Souta looked down, trying to give the skates back. Kagome smiled at him and grabbed his chin gently, making him look him look her in the eyes. "There's never a better time to learn." Her smile was contagious, because soon Souta was smiling too as he put the skates on. Kagome had he skates on in a flash and was already on the ice, skating around.

Souta stood up and wobbled out on the ice. He stood there, trying to keep his balance. Kagome skated up to him and took his hand gently in hers. She gave it a reassuring squeeze and pushed off skating slowly on the ice. Souta tried to keep up with her pace, but he kept tripping, which would slow him and Kagome down. Kagome just smiled at him and told him to keep trying. A couple hours later Souta was skating on his own, at his own pace, increasing speed the more confidant he became. Kagome was doing a figure 8 when she looked at his watch and gasped.

It was nearly 6:00 a.m. She looked to the west and saw a mixture of reds, oranges, and pinks. Kagome looked over to Souta and smiled before calling him in, showing him the time. He nodded and skated towards her slowly, a sad smile on his face. Kagome took of her skates and said in a soft voice. "We can come out here again tonight if you wish..." Souta's head immeditaly shot up and he began to nod frantically. Kagome's smile widened, and she began to laugh. Souta soon joined in with her. The siblings were still happy, even after all what happened to them.

~End Flashback~


Souta smiled at the memory. He was so caught up in that memory that he didn't notice the steaming bowl placed infront of him. Kagome filled her own bowl up and sat down, chopsticks in the air, ready to attack the delicous oden. She then looked up at Souta who was zoning out. Kagome got an idea on how to get his attention. She put her chopsticks down and layer her hand flat on the table. She inched her hand towards Souta's bowl and grabbed the edge with her fingertips. She began to slowly pull the bowl away from Souta, that is until..... TWACK! Souta had indeed noticed and hit Kagome's hand away with his own pair of chopsticks. Kagome pulled her hand back and examined the red line on her ivory skin.

She just laughed. Taking her own chopsticks again and devoured the oden under two mintues. Souta just rolled his eyes at her again and began to eat his more slowly and dignifed. Diner time was usually a quiet time, but Kagome still had one question on her mind. "Souta?" "Hmmm." "Why did you go to Central, of all places?" Souta looked up at his sister, mid-chew. (ahahah funny word!! sorry, shutting up again) Souta sighed and chewed what was left in his mouth.

"I don't really know why. I wanted to see if I could get in the library, but they said I had to be part of the military to do that. So started to go back, when someone ran into me......" Souta trailed off, leaving Kagome confused. "Do you know who ran into you? Did they apolagise?! If they didn't I'll hunt them down and butcher them... After making them apolagise first that is." Souta looked at his sister and smiled. "Yah, they said sorry, and introduced themselves. But when I learned who they were, I ran." Kagome gave him another confused look. Souta continued, "It was Edward Elric and his brother Alphonse. You know.... Edward Elric, the 'Fullmetal' Alchemist. He works for the military. And you always said if I saw someone fromt the military to run. Sooo I did." When the name Edward Elric Kagome's eyes widened.

"Yes, I've heard about him. He is quite famous, being the youngest State Alchemist." Souta looked at her, it was his turn to have a confused look. "Some people from the military came to the bar at night, and they were talking about it. I was the barmaid that night so I heard alot of their conversation." Souta made and 'O' with his mouth in understanding. The rest of the their dinner was spent in silence, well except the sounds of Kagome's chair scraping against the floor to get another serving of oden. After dinner was done the siblings headed into the livingroom to watch tv. They just had to watch Family Guy and Futurama. Those American tv shows cracked Kagome up.

Souta, of course, had to watch Yu-Gi-Oh. He was obsessed with it! He asked for the cards for this Birthday and Christmas. Kagome didn't mind, as long as it made him happy, she was happy. He even tried to teach her how to play once. She just didn't get it. Kagome sighed as she watched the over obsessed card geeks 'duel'. She nearly fell asleep, but felt Souta shaking her, telling her Family Guy was on. An hour later Kagome pried the remote from Souta's hands and turned of the brain rotting machine. Souta groaned and Kagome pointed a finger towards the stairs. Souta groaned again and headed up the stairs, Kagome right behind him. Kagome walked in he room, which was now four diffenent shades of blue. Her desk was still there, with all her old books scattered on it.

He bedding was black with pink flames all across it. She pulled a pair of hot pink silky pj pants out of a drawer. She also pulled out a hot pink spahgetti strap to match. She put her pj's on and sat down at her desk and looked down at all the books. Since the attacks started the schools had temporarly been shut down in fear of the Chimera attacking one while in session. Kagome had been home schooling him since then, in her spare time that is, most of the time when she had to go to work, Kagome would give him some kind of assignment or project that would be due when she got home. Kagome stood up and turned off the light, then pulled her warm comforter back and slid between the covers. Finding some salvation in the warmth.

She heard a creak and immediatly shot up in her bed, looking at the door. It was pitch black in her room, but thanks to her inhanced abilities she could see the form of her brother standing in the doorway. "Whats wrong Souta?" Her brother walked to the side of her bed, and she turned on the lamp that was on her nightstand. His eyes were half open, and he had his pillow in his hand. Kagome sighed and pulled back the covers. Souta smiled sleepily and crawled in next to his sister, snugglying up to her. Kagome smiled down at him, only to find that he was already asleep. Kagome reached over his head and flipped the lamp off. Kagome listened to the sound of Souta's sleeping breaths. Her eyelids began to get heavy and she closed her eyes. But first whispering a 'Goodnight' to her already asleep brother.

~Morning at Higurashi Shrine~


BEEP BEEP!! BEEP BEEP!!! BEEP BEEP!!!! A fist shot out from under the covers and hit the acursed device, crushing it under the sheer force. "Oh no...." Came a muffled voice from under the covers. Kagome peaked her head out and saw the pile of metal pieces. She groaned and smacked her hand to her forehead. She pulled back the covers back and slipped out without disturbing the younger Higurashi. She slipped into the bathroom that was connected to her room and looked at herself in the mirror. He hair was badly messed up and she looked like she was run over by a truck.

Kagome turned on the shower. Her normal reutine. Wake up at 5:30. Restrain from killing the alram clock. Take a cold shower. Get dressed in the short waitress uniform. Make breakfast. Run to resturaunt. Kagome shivered as the cold water touched her bare skin. Which instantly woke her up. She shampooed her hair and rinsed it. She turned off the water and stepped out, a big fluffy towel wrapped around her. She went back into her room and grabbed the accursed uniform and headed back into the bathroom. She put the uniform on, along with the nametag. She slipped on a pair off white tennis shoes and put her hair into a high ponytail.

She sighed and crept out of the bathroom and out of her room. She walked down the stairs and into the kitchen where she made breakfast everyday. She pulled out a pan from the cabinet and set it on the burner. She walked over to the refridgerator and opened the door, seacher for two eggs and the butter for toast. Kagome grabbed those said items and set them on the counter. She grabbed to pieces of bread and popped them into the toast. (boring huh?? it gets better as the day progresses) She cracked an egg with one hand, which took her forever to learn how to do just right. She put some salt and pepper on it and let it set, walking to the fridge again.

She grabbed the plastic container that held the leftover oden, which she had to force herself to save for lunch the next day. She put the precious plastic bowl in a paper bag along with a bottle of water. She walked back over to the stove and flipped the egg. She grabbed two plates from the cabinet next to the stove. She grabbed the spatula (my partents had a fight over if it was a flipper or a spatula..........lol) again and scooped up the egg and put it on the plate. She put plate down and cracked the other egg. The toast popped up and she grabbed one piece and took out a knife and buttered it. She placed it next to the egg on the plate and placed the plate on Souta's side of the table.

She then returned to the counter and did that same with her egg and now crispy toast. As soon as Kagome sat down she heard footsteps coming down the the stairs, thanks to her inhanced hearing. Kagome put on a happy smile as Souta walked into the room, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. Souta looked at his happy sister, glowering. "I can't see how you could be a morning person. I can't see how ANYBODY could be a morning person!" Souta plopped down in his chair and grabbed this toast, taking a bite out of it. He looked up at his sister to see her smile become even bigger. The bigger he smile, the more his glare intensified.

Kagome looked at Souta, watching his face become very red. She did this every morning. She would always be happy and smiling at 6:30 in the morning. She knew how annoying it could be. Especally to a grumpy, hormonal, teenage boy. Kagome just finished her breakfast and washed her dishes in the sink. She grabbed the the paper bag which held her beloved oden and walked over to her brother. She kissed him on this forehead and rumpled his hair a little. Back in the old days Souta would yell and complain, but now that it was only him and Kagome, he really didn't mind. He hugged her back a kissed her on the cheek. "I don't know when I'll be back tonight, ok kiddo? I'm the barmaid tonight, and you know how long they keep me tonight." Kagome said with a sad smile.

Souta nodded,"If you hear anymore juicy gossip from the drunks, don't hesitate to wake me up in the middle of the night!" Kagome laughed softly. "There's some leftovers in the fridge you can heat up, or you can make a sandwitch when you get hungry. I'll see you in the morning..... Or I'll wake you up if good gossip! Ja!" Kagome bolted out the door, not wanting to be late. There would be hell to pay if she was late, she wasn't kidding about pay either! If any worker was late, it would be taken out of their pay, if you could call it pay. Kagome looked down at her clock and sped up, wanting to get to work on time.

There wasn't a lot of business at work nowadays, considering there was a wild chimera somewhere lurking in the shadows. They had a lot of military soliders come to the resturaunt. Central had sent about twenty soliders to the city when the attacks became worse. But they didn't do anything. Sure, some of the crime and robberies were cut down, but they weren't sent here to do that. They were supposed to protect the citizens of Japan from chimeras. The authorities in town would take care of the crime and stuff like that. Kagome ran down the sidewalk, which you wouldn't normally do, on account that they were packed with half the population of the city! But since the chimera attacks, most people preferred to stay at home, until the military found it.

Kagome crossed the street, and made a left. She stopped running and stood infront a door. She sighed, took a deep breath, and opened the door. Ready for a hell of a day she knew was coming.
