InuYasha Fan Fiction / Fullmetal Alchemist Fan Fiction ❯ Tomiko's Journey ❯ Tomiko’s Fall Through the Well ( Prologue )

Disclaimer:

Turtlequeen2: Another new one from me! I’m so excited because this is my first story on Fullmetal Alchemist. I decided to make this an Inuyasha/Fullmetal Alchemist crossover since there are not enough of these.

Inuyasha: Fullmetal what?!

Turtlequeen2: You’ll find out soon enough.

Ed: Oh great another crossover.

Inuyasha: Who is that little shrimp?

Ed: #o_O WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SMALL THAT HE CANT BE SEEN WITH A MICROSCOPE?!

Inuyasha: O.O … What in the seven hells?!

Turtlequeen2: *sigh* Well here goes my attempt at Fullmetal Alchemist fan fiction. I do not own any of these characters except Tomiko. Rumiko Takahashi owns Inuyasha and Hiromu Arakawa owns Fullmetal Alchemist.

Prologue < p>Tomiko’s Fall Through the Well

WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT HE COULD DROWN IN A PUDDLE,” demanded the irate Edward Elric, yelling at a young woman around his age.

“Calm down brother, she didn’t say that,’ his brother Al said, holding him back with his metal arms.

“I only said you were short,” the woman replied, amused. Ed was indeed short, but his strength and determination made up for it. His unnatural gold eyes gleamed with anger.

“LET ME GO AL! I’M GONNA KICK HER ASS,” shouted Ed, kicking at his brother’s restraints. Al was simply put, a metal suit. His form may have looked frightening, but his soul was calm and innocent. Almost the exact opposite of his older brother’s personality.

The girl, Tomiko Halter, only grinned in response at her newfound friends. She was a beauty with sunflower, gold hair and ocean blue eyes. She was a fellow alchemist who could use alchemy without a transmutation circle. She met them when they passed through her town,” Cladwell.” They were on a military trip, trying to get more information on the Philosopher’s Stone. Afterwards, since she lived alone, they let her travel with them, though she never stopped teasing Ed about his height.

They were currently on a country road, walking towards the train station to Central Headquarters.

After Ed calmed down, he asked Al,” Tell me again why we let her travel with us?”

“Because I know you like my company,” Tomiko responded for Alphonse. Ed only rolled his eyes. They continued walking along the road until they reached a well.

The well was in a oddly put place; right in the middle of an abandoned field. It had old, sturdy wood holding it in place. The dark brown color, showing its aging. Thinking there was water in the well, the group walked over and peered into it. Odd enough, there was no water in it at all.

“Its just a dried up, old well. How strange,” Tomiko commented. Ed and Al nodded with her in agreement. Just as they were about to walk away, Tomiko heard a pulse. It sounded like the heartbeat of an animal.

“Did you hear that,” she asks.

“Hear what,” both brothers ask in confusion.

“A pulse. I think its coming from the well.”

“Are you sure you’re not just going crazy,” snorted Ed.

She only glared back at him and bent over to see the inside of the well. However, an invisible force, or perhaps, lack of poise, knocked her off balance and sent her hurtling inside. She screamed as she fell and Ed clapped his hands and put them on the ground beside the well to attempt to create a giant wooden hand to catch her. But to his horror, his alchemy didn’t work and her screaming died.

“Oh no, Tomiko,” wailed Al. “She couldn’t have survived that fall!” Ed was silent and looked down into the well to see if he could find her body, but there was nothing there!

“What the hell,” Ed mumbled. “She’s gone! Her body’s disappeared!”

“How is that possible,” Al asked.

“I don’t know Al, but we’re going to find out.”

Al used branches from a nearby tree to create a rope using Alchemy. Ed dropped down into the well, but landed on solid Earth.

‘How could she have disappeared? It’s like her body wasn’t even down here at all,’ Ed thought frantically. “There’s nothing down here,” he shouted up to his brother.

“Where could she have gone,” asked Al.

“It’s almost as if she was drawn into a portal to somewhere else,” Ed murmured. Al dropped the rope so his brother could climb up. “We should call Central. Maybe they can help search for her, as much as I hate for them to get involved.”

“I’ll stay here,” Al offered,” just in case she gets back. She’ll need someone to be here for her.”

Ed nodded reluctantly and started running towards the direction of the train station. He would have to call Colonel Mustang. Damn his luck.

Al sat at the edge of the well and looked into it, hoping to see something unusual. The only sound he could hear was the wind.

******Tomiko’s POV******

I’m still alive? I opened my eyes and looked up at the well opening. “Edward? Alphonse? Is anyone up there,” I called out. When I heard no answer, I grew scared. Surely they didn’t abandon me! “Ed! Help me up or I’ll kick your ass!” Again no sound answered back. I saw a vine on the well wall and decided to pull myself up, preparing to kick Ed and Al’s asses when I got up.

All thoughts of them left my mind after I got out of the well. Green fields and trees surrounded me. What the hell happened? Was I transported to another area or dimension? “Ed? Al? Is anyone there,” I ask, now getting afraid.

I start walking from away from the well, looking at my surroundings. I decided to keep walking forward. There has to be someone around here that could help me. I suddenly stop when I heard someone’s voice.

“I know I heard someone out here,” a gruff voice called out. “It’s a human.”

Chills ran up my spine. Was it a homunculus or a chimera? Great! I’m out here in the middle of who knows where with some creature catching my presence. Great going Tomiko! You just had to see what was in the well!

“Inuyasha! What do you mean human,” another voice called out. It was feminine. I decided to face the threat head on. Maybe they could help me in some way, although I know I should never trust homunculi or chimeras for that matter.

“Is someone out there,” I call out bravely.

My assumption on the male was right. As he and the girl made their in my view, I cought a glimpse of his form. He wasn’t human, but he looked close enough to a human. The thing that gave him away was his claws, dog-ears, and fangs. He was dressed up in extremely baggy red clothes that I never saw except in history books.

The girl on the other hand, looked human enough. She was dressed strangely too. She wore a super short skirt outfit that looked like a uniform of some kind.

“Who the hell are you,” the male creature demanded.

Feeling confident, I say,” Why should I tell you?”

“You’re in my territory,” he responds back.

“Really? Does it same your name anywhere?”

“Actually, it’s called ’Inuyasha’s Forest.’ It‘s named after him,” the girl explained. “Why are you out here by yourself?”

“Honestly, I don’t even know where I am,” I answer honestly. The girl gasped for a reason I did not know.

“Tell me, did you come from the well,” the girl asked.

“Yea. How did you know,” I questioned.

Both the girl and ‘chimera’ looked shocked. “But how,” she muttered,” she doesn’t have any jewel shards on her either.”

“Do you know her, Kagome,” the creature asked the human girl.

“No, never saw her in my life.”

“Will someone please explain what the hell is going on here,” I exclaim, finally loosing my patience.

“Um…sorry. My name is Higurashi, Kagome and that’s Inuyasha. This is hard to believe, but you‘re in the Sengoku Jidai.”

My eyebrow twitched. “What the hell is Sengoku Jidai?”

“It’s the Feudal Era in Japan. Don’t you know that,” the girl known as Kagome asked.

“Nope, never heard of Japan or the Feudal Era as you may call it,” I say, looking at them in confusion.

“What do you mean? Don’t you live in Japan?”

“No, I’m from Amestris.”

“I never heard of a country named that. What time are you from?”

“1920, why?” I was very confused. What was this girl blabbering about?

“NANI?! This can‘t be possible! It‘s only supposed to have a portal from my time to here!” Inuyasha looked very disoriented as well.

“Are you sure she’s not just crazy,” Inuyasha asked.

“I’m pretty sure I’m not crazy! What are you anyways? Some kind of chimera,” I demanded.

Kagome and Inuyasha stared at me in confusion. “What the fuck is a chimera,” he asks.

“An alchemically altered being with the soul of a human with the body of a animal,” I explain.

“Whatever you just said, I’m not it. I’m a hanyou,” he scoffed back.

“A half-demon? There’s no way. They’re only myth.”

“I’m getting pretty tired of your blabbering, wench,” he growls, sounding offended.

“Calm down Inuyasha,” Kagome scolded. “Maybe we should talk to Kaede. She might be able to make some sense out of this.”

“Hey, aren’t you going to ask my name,” I questioned.

A drop of sweat appeared on her brow. “Oh yea…sorry. What is your name?”

I took this time to smirk. “Halter, Tomiko. Also known to my friends as the Pure Alchemist.”
