Fullmetal/EdxKag

CH. 1

heaving a heavy sigh, Kagome boarded the train, she hated to leave, what if Inuyasha came looking for her for Sesshomaru? what if the well let Shippo through? could they find her all the way out in Amestris? what if her scent was masked by the smoke from the train? what if it rained? what if-
"-GOME!" a loud voice shook her from her thoughts. causing her to loudly squeak in terror, and curl into a ball on the closest seat to her.
"oh, now look at what you did, Ed! you scared her!" Winry scolded slapping the blonde alchemist on the back of the head
"are you alright?" Al's slightly echoed voice asked as he crouched in front of her seat
she didn't say anything, she didn't even look at Al, "you must have really scared her, big brother"
"god...you're worse than, HIM" Winry groaned, emphasizing the last word in reference to a certain dog-eared male.
"what? how am I worse than that mutt, Inuyasha?!" Ed instantly regretted bringing up the dog's name in front of Kagome, because she began to openly cry. "Ka-Kagome...I-"
"oh, Ed..." Winry heaved a long sigh, "see? you're just like the moronic mongrel. you need to at least think a LITTLE bit when you're around women!" Winry went to comfort Kagome. but she was stopped.
"no, I caused this, I have to fix it..." Ed sighed, he wasn't stupid. he knew he had to fix what he did or Kagome would hate him, Al would be disappointed in him, and Winry would definitely kill him with a wrench. Roy would finish him off by burning him till he was nothing but ash.
"Ed, don't you think you've-"
"this is my fault. you know I have to try." "equivalent exchange" he added, "I hurt her, I have to be the one to make up for it."
"ugh, EVERYTHING isn't about alchemy, you idiot!"
"he does have a point though, Winry. he did upset her, so he has to make up for it or he'd never forgive himself for making her cry"
"...I just said that, Al!"
"I was saying it again, but so Winry can understand your point"
"whatever, just...go oil your joints or something, I'd prefer to have some privacy with Kagome"
"I'll help you, Al. besides, Ed's gonna be busy for a while."
"yeah, okay."
"geez...all of this cause I said his name" Ed groaned, taking the space next to the crying miko
"he hates me!" Kagome sobbed, turning and clinging to his shirt like it was a life-line
"what? Al doesn't-"
"no, Inuyasha! Inuyasha hates me! he never loved me! but I was too stupid to realize it! why does this always happen to me, Ed?!"
"I-...I don't know..." he had the strangest feeling to put her on his lap and hold her close.
"even Koga has stopped chasing after me, sure I wasn't REALLY interested, but it was nice to get some attention!" she soon crawled into his lap, and cried into his chest before Ed could muster up the courage to move her, himself, "I honestly thought Inuyasha loved me! he said he'd stay by my side, and that he'd stay a hanyou longer just for me...and-and...OH! why would he do that?!"
'shit, she's getting hysterical, what should I do?' "Ka-...Kagome?" he had no idea what he was going to do, but he had to get her to calm down, "Kagome, you-you can do so much better than that damned mutt"
"like who?"
"I dunno! like-" he didn't get the chance to finish his sentence when the train lurched to life, causing his head to move towards hers, and their lips met for just a second
she looked shocked, but a few quick seconds later her cerulean eyes slowly closed, and she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer, deepening the moment. she was the first to pull away. she rested her forehead against Ed's, and smiled lazily, "I guess life in Amestris won't be too bad. thank you, Ed. you know, heh, Souta always said you had a crush on me. but I never believed him. I've never been happier to be proven wrong, but let's just keep that moment between us, my dad would burn you alive if he found out"
"burn? you mean..."
"yeah. Colonel Roy Mustang is my father."
"but I thought your last name was-"
"yeah, mama changed it back to Higurashi after Roy left a few years ago." she snuggled into his chest and let out a satisfied sigh moments later. Kagome was asleep by the time Al and Winry came back.
"I don't hear her crying anymore, Winry"
"yeah...that's either good or bad"
"huh, how could it be bad?"
"he could have made her run away while we were gone"
"oh, that would be very bad."
"she's right here." he smirked, "see? I told ya I could fix it!" he pulled Kagome slightly closer with his automail arm and rested his head against his palm as he stared out the window
"so, how'd you do it? must have been something PRETTY special to get her THAT calm THAT fast." Winry smirked, she knew her friend well enough to know it took her a while to calm down.
Ed blushed slightly, and turned further towards the window in hopes of hiding it.
"what's the matter, big brother? ah! Winry!" the suit of armor would have smirked like a Cheshire cat if he could have. his voice carried that emotion well enough to make up for it
"sh-shut up!" Ed stammered
"hmm..." Kagome groaned softly, nuzzling further into his chest, "so warm..."
"ohhh! I see..." Winry was practically buzzing with the effort to hold back her laughter. she knew Ed had a thing for the miko.
"ugh! I said shut up!" Ed's face matched his red jacket
"what? what?" Al was looking back and forth between his brother and Winry, "what do you see?"
"your brother managed to calm Kagome down faster than I've ever been able to"
"ok, but that doesn't explain why he's blushing"
"Kagome doesn't calm down that fast, unless something PRETTY special happened."
"like what?"
"you're brother had to have admitted he's had a huge crush on her for years"
"big brother!" Al sounded happy
"I didn't SAY that."
"then what DID happen?"
"I...I...accidentally...k-" if any more blood had rushed to his face he would be a permanent tomato face, "kissed her" Ed's voice was barely audible
"what?" Winry couldn't quite hear him
"you...really?" Al, somehow, had heard him.
"what'd he say?"
"he kissed her"
"WHAT?!" Winry then laughed, "wow! didn't think you-"
"it was an accident!"
"how was it an accident?"
"the train lurched and she was sitting on my lap, it just...happened!"
"ugh, that's bad..." Winry sighed
"what? how?" Ed was confused, "I got her to calm down, didn't I?"
"geez, Ed! women are more complex than that!"
"DO you like her, brother?"
"I'm not answering that" Ed deadpanned
"well, she obviously thinks you do. to a woman, a kiss is an expression of love"
"love? how could it mean love?" 'though, it DID feel pretty nice...'
"you really ARE dense, aren't you, Ed? how can you be THIS oblivious?!"
"about women? or about how you find some sort of crazy meaning in things?" Ed groaned, rolling his eyes, "it doesn't help that the only girl I was around when I was little was a psychotic, violent tomboy!"
"nnng...huh?" Kagome groaned softly.
"I'm not psychotic! and you were around Kagome a lot when we were little too!"
"um, guys?" Al began noticing Kagome had woken up
"not now, Al!" both blonde's said
"still! all you women are insane! I didn't PLAN on kissing her! the train lurched and it just...happened! it's just skin contact, nothing more! you women always have to find some kind of "meaning" in everything!"
"brother?"
"what is it?" Ed looked at the suit of armor
"Kagome's awake, brother"
