~Central~

"Boys? Boys?! It's time to wake up!! NOW!!" Came a voice on the other side of the Elric Brothers door. The person was also pounding on the door loudly. Al opened his 'eyes' and sat up in the bed, looking over to his brother. He heard and a grumble and rolled over, pulling the pillow over his head. Al laughed and walked over to the door, because someone was still pounding on it. He opened the door and a fist started pounding on his head. Al looked down and saw Maes Hughes, who when, noticed Al wasn't the door, immediatly stopped knocking. Maes smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head, "Sorry about that, Al. Is your brother up?" Al turned around, only to see Ed standing next to his bed, putting his cloak on.

Maes peaked around the side of Al's body and looked at Ed. "Welcome to the world of the living, Edward. We're about to split up into pairs and search the shrines in Japan. The Colonel and I will check the northern shrines, Luitenant Hawkeye and Major Armstrong will check the southern shrines. You two will check eastern shrines, and we'll send some soliders to the central and western shrines. Sound good enough?" Ed and Al nodded in agreement. Maes handed them a map of the eastern part of Japan, all the Shrines they were supposed to visit circled in red.

"Well, I'm off to meet up with Mustang, good luck boys, we meet back here at sunset." With that Maes was off, waving over his shoulder. This had been one of the rare visits where they didn't have a picture of Elyisa shoved in there face. Ed sighed and turned to Al who was looking at him. "Shall we be off brother? We'll have to catch a train to Japan." Ed nodded and walked down the hall, looking over the map. He ran his now gloved fingers over the smooth texture of the paper, wishing he could be back in the library reading. Thats when he noticed it... Something was tapped to the bottom of the map. (lets just say they have tape! and if they doo the betta)

Ed carefully peeled the paper from the map and noticed it wasn't an ordinary piece of paper. It was photo. Ed sweatdropped, he knew what was coming. He turned the picture over, and sure enough, there was a little girl with blonde and blue eyes. She was wearing a pink sun dress. Ed looked at Al, who wasn't even paying attention to him. Ed then looked down at the photo, then Al. Then the photo, then Al. He had a huge grin on his face as he slowed his pace. Then, he reached around Al's side and tried to shove the photo in his face, but failed miserably considering the height difference, but still enough for Al to see the picture. Al gasped and whirled around,"Maes I thought you left......" Al stopped when he only saw a grinning Ed.

Ed just kept smiling and said, "Maes is sneaky. He tapped the photo to the bottom of the map. I swear, brother...." Al smiled on the inside. He knew Maes was just trying to cheer them up, even though it kinda freaked them out along with most of the officers and ect. Ed took the picture and tucked it into his back pocket, planning on leaving Mustang a little gift when they got back. Ed smiled evily and quickened his pace, wanting to get this over with so he could give the Colonel his little 'gift'. Al followed his brother out the door and on the sidewalk, heading towards the trainstation.


~Three Hours Later - With Maes and Roy~



Roy was ready to pull his hair out! The last past five shrines were only the homes of crackpots!! Two of the shrine owners slammed the door in their faces when they saw they were from the military. Two of the shrines slammed the door in their faces when they started to mention the attacks and spirtual powers. The last one was the best of all though! There was only a lonely old man there, and when they started to mention that it may be demon attacks, attacked them with a wooden broom. Then slammed the door in there faces. Roy had just about enough of this, and he was pretty sure that Maes would agree with him all the way.

"Lets hope the others are having better luck then us," Maes said, breaking the silence. Roy just nodded in agreement and looked up the hundred stairs that they would have to climb to get to the shrine. He resisted the urge to groan out loud and marched up the steps of the Sakura Shrine. It took a few minutes to reach the top, and when they did it was the same old sight. Three or four huges buildings, surrounded by trees and flowers. Roy walked up to what appeared to be the main shrine and knocked on the door, waiting for another crackpot to anwser, or at least open the door and then slam it into their faces.

Instead who opened the door surprised them. It was a beautiful young woman with long crimson tresses and beautiful jade green eyes. She wore a traditonal miko garb that had a white harou (?? isnt that it?) and red hakama (??) pants. She had ivory skin that seemed to glow in the remaining sunlight. She wore green eyeshadow and black eyeliner. She had a quiever of arrows strapped to her back along with a bow resting on her shoulder. Roy stood there gawking at the beautiful woman, before her soft voice brought him out of his stupier.

"May I help you two gentlemen?" Roy smiled charmingly at the young woman and nodded his head. "I am sure you've heard about the resent chimera attacks." At this, she nodded. "We have been investigating the attacks, and found the evidence was far from any normal chimera attacks. You see, we have reason to believe that it was not a chimera, but infact a once thought extinct race called 'Youkai'." At the word youkai the woman flinched, which didn't go unnoticed by Roy and Maes. "I'm guessing that you've heard of them?" Maes asked looking at the young woman curiously. She nodded again, gripping the side of her bow tightly. Maes noticed this and continued for Roy.

"You see, we have found evidence that, a long time ago women such as yourself possed a great amout of spiritual power. Also known as miko power. These priestesses were able to sense youkai and track them down, and then later purifying them. My colleges and I were hoping that you might posses this same power, if not maybe you could sense the auras and help us locate the youkai. I know this sounds crazy, but we reallly need help from someone as.... unique as yourself." Maes supplied for Roy. The woman in the door nodded, and then smiled.

"I do not think you are crazy, and yes I will do whatever I can to assist you in your search. I've had practice in readin aura's, for my grandfather taught me when he was alive. Though we could only use humans and animals for practice, but I suppose I could block out all the familiar aura's and search for the unfamiliar ones. I do not gurantte that I will locate this creature, but I can try..." Maes nodded to her and Roy charmingly again. "Well since we're going to be working together we should at least know each others name. I am Colonel Roy Mustang, and this is Lieutenant Colonel Maes Hughes, and you are...." The woman smiled and extended her hand, " Desteny, Desteny Young. ( my bestfriends charcter...) Nice to meet you Colonel and Lieutenant Colonel. When are we going to comence the search?" Roy took her hand and placed a soft kiss on it.
Roy then released his hand and put a it to his chin in a thoughtful matter. "I would say tomorrow morning, we'll come to your house about 5:00 in the afternoon. Giving everyone time to get ready for the youkai, just to be on the safe side." Desteny nodded in agreement. "I shall see you then, but if you'll excuse me I have some work to do. Good day gentlemen." Desteny bowed to them and closed the door behind her. 'Excellent... Naraku will be pleased...' Desteny smirkered. 'That wench will pay, and soon.'
"So now what Roy? Should be go back to Central and tell the Fuhrer that we have it handled and tell the others, or should we just wait awhile. You know celebrate?" Maes suggested as he took the first step down the mountain of stairs. Roy pondered for a moment then nodded his head in agreement. "We could just call Hq. and tell them that we found someone. Besides, the next train doesn't leave until 2:00 in the morning. I'm sure we can find somewhere to go and hang around until then.." Maes nodded and turned left when they got to the bottom of the stairs. They wandered the streets of Japan for about ten minutes until they found a cafe/bar that was still open.

Maes walked in first. A little bell jangled as the door opened, drawing the attention of everyone in the cafe/bar. Which was only about three people. A barmaid, someone that looked to be a cook, and a rather shabby looking man on a bar stool. Maes and Roy walked over to the bar and sat down on one of the stools. The barmaid looked frightened for a second, but walked over to them none the less. "What can I get you two tonight?" The barmaid had shoulder length black hair and had unatural blue with crimon mixed in them. She had rather pale skin but it didn't look sickly. She wore a pale blue short skirt and matching blue button up shirt with a apron over it. Overal she was beautiful.

She was cleaning a glass with a rag as she talked to them. Maes nodded, "Just give us a couple of shots." The woman nodded, "Two shots comming right up." She pulled out two different glasses from a cupboard under the counter and a thick glassed bottle. She poured the liquid into the glasses and pushed them towards Maes and Roy. "If you need anymore just ask." She then walked over to the man that had been in there earlier. "Hojo, I think you've had enough for tonight. Do you want me to call someone to pick you up?" The man known as Hojo nodded his head in the negative. "I've had enough when I say I have dammit! Don't tell me what to do Kagome!" Hojo said and slammed the glass on the counter, "Now give me another!"

Kagome sighed. She didn't want Hojo to get hurt. She grabbed his glass with her left hand and was about to take it away from him when she felt a hand on hers. She was terrified to find that it was Hojo's and he wasn't more than a few inches from her face. The space was closing between him and Kagome, so she did the only thing she could think of. She brought her right hand back and punched him right on the cheek, sending him flying across the floor. Kagome had been lucky enough to twist her arm out of his grasp so she wouldn't go flying with him. One of the military men, the one without the glasses was halfway out of his chair with his hand in his pocket. He seemed to be searching for something. Amazingly Hojo stood up. The left side of his face had already begun to swell up.

The other man that seemed to be the owner of the bar walked over to Hojo, brandishing a wooden bat. "Get outta here kid. Nobody touches my girls and gets away with it. You were just lucky that it was her that hit you and not me." He said, waving the wooden bat. Hojo looked horrified and backed away, walking out the door. "Someday Kagome. Someday you'll be mine.." Kagome looked after him, rubbing the hand Hojo had grabbed. She sighed and turned towards the remaining customers and bowed in apology.

"I am so so sorry about that. When Hojo has that many drinks he tends to be, grabby..." Kagome trailed off when she saw the look of understanding in the higher officers coal black eyes. He offered a charming smile and walked over and sat the upturned stool to its proper place. The persumed owner slung the bat over his shoulder and walked to the back of the counter, resting his other hand on Kagome's shoulder in reasurrance. He then smirked at his other customers, "She's got one hell of a right hook, ne?" Roy and Maes chuckled as Kagome blushed.

"I'm sorry to say this gentlemen, but it is closing time. Some of us have a life you know." The owner said, leaning the bat against a wall and reaching for a lightswitch. They nodded and Maes stood up, reaching for his wallet to pay for their drinks. Kagome grabbed their empty glasses and walked to the back of the dimly lit room where she washed them quickly in a sink and set them out to dry.

Kagome quickly made due of washing the glasses, and put them in the cuboard under the counter. She noticed that both of the military men were still there, and that though frightened her. They couldn't be after her, could they? There still was no one to take care of Souta, so that couldn't be the reason. Kagome grabbed her coat, and hesitantly headed for the door, but then she noticed that both the military officals only moved to go when she was half way there. She opened door and walked out quickly, and started to head down the sidewalk when she heard two pairs of footsteps following her. She was about to quicken her pace when she felt a hand being placed on her shoulder.

Ok.. I know its been FOREVER *forever echos in background* But.. I decided I'm gonna try and continue this story, though, the updates will probably be spaced out, b/c of lack of inspiration, and the fact that school is starting up again..
