To all my readers: Sorry I'm so long on getting this story out. I know there's a couple of people I've been promising for quite a while. There's a couple people I would like to thank before everybody begins reafing this...

Sassybratt and Illidan the Half Demon: Thank you both for being somewhat of a driving force behind this story. Without you guys, it will probably still being sitting on the desktop in the My Stories folder, being wasted away.

Now, time for the full summary *Everybody claps*: The Philosopher's Stone, a stone with the magical property to amplify alchemical properties. The Shikon Jewel, a mystical jewel with the power to multiply demonic properties. When worlds that were never meant to meet collide, will the stone and jewel prove to be the same? Full Metal Alchemist/InuYasha crossover.

I hope you guys enjoy the story! Please review, I promise I won't get mad, unless you flame me, then there's a small chance I might get ticked, but it's just a small one.

Chapter 1

"Damn, Winry is gonna kill me," Ed said, staggering down the dirt road, nearly dehydrated. He squinted his eyes, just seeing the tiny residence over the horizon.

His right sleeve hung uselessly by his side, a painful reminder of his past sins. 'The only thing more than this is Winry sees me'. Ed thought. He remembered the last auto-mail arm he broke. Not only had it cost him a small fortune, not that it mattered with the President's funding, but he had received a more than a few monkey wrenches to the head on that trip with the Major.

Ed was quite literally on the door-steps when he passed out.

"Winry, our cash cows are back!" Pinako Rockbell called out.

"Damn that Ed! I told him to call before coming time and time again," Winry growled angrily through gritted teeth as she slipped into her greased-coated over-alls. She grabbed her biggest wrench, determined to teach Edward a lesson he would never forget.

Winry stepped out on the balcony, throwing the wrench out of habit. It struck her a split-second later that there was no one out there for it to strike, and she was going to have to go out later to get it. She mumbled curses under her breath as she walked downstairs. "Well, where are they at?"

Pinako chuckled as she took a puff from her pipe. "Well, Ed is outside on the stairs, passed out from dehydration. As for Alphonse, I'm assuming he's back in the city. I wouldn't know why; those two always travel together."

Winry looked at the door to see the Full Metal Alchemist out cold on the steps. She lightly nudged him with her foot, but he didn't stir. She started to lift him when an idea occurred. "Hey, wake up runt!"

"Don't call me tiny! Or a shrimp! Or a midget!" Ed yelled angrily as he jumped up. Winry took a step back and allowed Ed to have his fill of ranting. After a moment or two, Ed calmed down. "Winry, I need you to make a promise to me." Winry looked at him quizzically but complied nonetheless. "Winry, don't kill me when I tell you this."

"Ed, where is your arm? Did you, did you break it again? Where's the arm so I can just fix it and you be on your merry way?" Winry asked, already fearing the worse. Pinako brought out a steaming hot cup of tea to Ed.

Ed sipped on his tea a moment, enjoying the warmth of it flowing down to his stomach, where it seemed to blossom out everywhere. "Well, it kinda got broke in my final battle against Dante. You remember what happened to the arm in the fight against Scar?" Winry nodded her head, already knowing where this was headed. Ed decided not to spare any details. "Well, imagine what that arm probably looked like, then just smash it to pieces. Then you could take the pieces that were left, and grind those to dust.

"Afterwards, imagine the wiring being shredded. Then, you could take the copper wiring that you have, ball it into a tiny ball, melt it down and spread it across the earth. That's about the jist of where my arm is," Ed took another sip of his tea, and calmly waited for the scolding and pain that was sure to follow begin.

Instead, all Edward heard was a slamming door. The door rattled on the frames. He could Winry shouting out curses outside. "Granny," Ed began, slightly gulping, "Where exactly did Winry go?"

Pinako chuckled, "Oh, you'll find out soon enough. Ed, where exactly is Alphonse at?" Winry came bursting back through the door with the wrench she had threw out a couple of hours ago, rage still fully evident on her visage.

Ed swallowed down his sadness. "Al, he..." Ed paused, trying to think of the right words to say. The pain was still so real to him. He felt as if God had took a branding iron and seared the memory permantly into his mind. "Al died in the final fight against the Homunguli. Envy had tried to stab me through the chest, but Al somehow managed to get away from Gluttony to save me. He took that blow for me, and it completely busted through the blood seal. If he hadnt done that then, I would be dead. That's why I need you to fix my armm as fast as you can Granny. Al had the Philosopher's Stone him. That was his final gift to me.

"So, I'm gonna bring him back, with his body and mine from the Gate. And when I do that, I can finally settle down back here with you and Winry. So, how long is it going to take you? It only took you three days the last time. Think you could have it for me that soon again?"

Pinako chuckled wihile inhaling on her pipe. "i can have it too you in two days this time. Winry has improved greatly with her automail crafting since that bastard Dominic took her in. I taught him everything I know, but he must have came up with his own little inventions. Winry, why dont you take Ed's arm and leg, and start working on them."

Winry grunted lightly while exchanging prosthectics. "I cant believe I'm doing all of this, again."

Inuyasha rolled the Shikon Jewel of Four Souls around in his palm for what seemed like the 100th time that hour. He grasped it tightly, trying to decide if he wanted to become a full demon or just stay a hanyou, but Inuyasha couldn't shake Kagome's words out of his head: I love you just as a hanyou Inuyasha. The words rang around in his head for a moments before Inuyasha shook them out.

Then Inuyasha smelled the familar scent of vanilla and cherry blossoms invade his nostrils. She smells so nice. I could just get­- "Inuyasha!" Kagome's voice called out.

Inuyasha jumped off of his tree limb, landing gracefully on the balls of his feet as the slight billows of his kimono caught up with him. He held the Sacred Jewel tightly in his hand before he knew what he was going to do. Inuyasha stepped forward and lightly kissed Kagome on her lips, sending butterflies soaring up and throughout her body, making kagome feel as if she were on Cloud Nine. "Kagome, for as long as you've been with me, you've shown nothing but love and compassion to me, even when I snuck off to be with Kikyo." Kagome felt the familar twang of anger toward the undead miko, but kept it in check.

Inuyasha kept on going. "What I'm saying is, even though I hurt you numerous timesm you always found a way to look past my arrogance and ignorance to see me for who I am. You showed me love and compassion when no one else would. You even said out loud that you loved me once." Kagome felt her cheeks heat up at the memory. "All I'm saying is that, I love you too. And because I love you, I'm giving you the Sacred Jewel. It's your wish, so do with it as you please." Inuyasha leaned down and kissed Kagome again, then turned to leave, so he could hide the blush that was coating his cheeks.

Kagome also turned around to hide her blush as well. I can't believe that Inuyasha just said all that to me! I always dreamed of this day, but now that it's actually here, what am I supposed to do?! Mentally, Kagome screamed out in frustration. I know, I'll tell Inuyasha that he's right. That, I do love him. Then, I'll give him the Sacred Jewel back, and we'll make a wish for our happiness! Kagome cleared her throat, causing Inuyasha to glance over his shoulder.

Ed groaned, "This is always the part I hate the worse. I cant stand when the nerves re-connect."

Pinako and Winry counted down together, "Three... Two..." They pushed the arm and leg back in at the same time.

Ed held down a scream, but dug his fingernails into the pine chair he was sitting in. "Where the fuck did you people learn to count?!! That was two, not one!"

Winry chuckled darkly. "That was for breaking the automail, again. If you so happen to scratch this arm, I will quite literally kill you. This arm is made from a new metal called titanium, so it will tough to break, and I sprayed it with chrome to make it rust resistant. This is the perfect arm for you, but still you should-"

"Alright Al, I'm going for you!" Ed said, running off to an old clearing. Winry clenched her fist at being cut off.

Inuyasha and Kagome held the jewel in between, preparing to make the wish that would cause the jewel to disappear for forever.

Ed held the Philosopher's Stone in between his hands after he clapped them together, summoning The Gate."FOOLISH CHILD, DO YOU NEVER GROW WEARY OF MY PRECENSE?"

"I've come to take back mine and Al's body," Ed responded cooly.

Kagome and Inuyasha made their wish, and with that, a blinding flash of white went coursing throughout the woods.

"WHAT IS THIS? I'VE NEVER FELT THIS BEFORE!" The Gate flashed a brilliant white color as Ed shielded his eyes. He struggled to hold on, but his mind literally felt as if it were breaking. Ed blacked out.

Ed awoke to pair of amber eyes staring at him. "Who the hell are you! Where's Alphonse?" Ed jumped up to face the people who before him. The person that was staring at him wore a strange set of red clothing, with a sword tucked into his belt, long silver hair that reached his butt, amber eyes, and strange ears on top of his head. The other was a beautiful girl that had ebony colored hair, chocolate colored eyes, a red pair of pants similar to the man's, with a white kimono top to match it.

"Where's Al at?" Ed asked again.

Inuyasha grunted and said, "We don't know one named Al here pip squeak, so go play with the village kids or something." Inuyasha stuffed his arms into his sleeves and turned around.

"Oh, you're gonna pay for that one you bastard!" Ed yelled out as he charged Inuyasha. Ed spun Inuyasha around, and punched him in the face. "No one calls me a pip squeak, or a midget, or shrimpy!" Ed tried to punch Inuyasha in the face again, but Kagome yelled out "Sit boy" before Ed's fist could connect with Inuyasha's face again.

"I'm sorry, you'll have to excuse Inuyasha sometimes. He can be so brash and rude sometimes. My name is Kagome Higurashi. You're not from around these parts are you?"

Ed shook his head no, and said, "No, I'm not. Have you seen anyone wearing a large suit of armor. He's about sev-" Ed stopped in mid-sentence, when he realized that Al was no longer in a suit of armor if The Gate had fulfilled their end of the deal. "Never mind. My name is Edward Elric, but just call me Ed."

Inuyasha stuffed his arms back into his kimono top after he had picked himself off the ground. "Feh. What kind of idiotic name is that?" Kagome gave Inuyasha a death glare. Inuyasha managed to stammer out, "What I meant was, my name is Inuyasha Taisho." Ed extended his arm, but Inuyasha just stared at it blankly. "What the hell are you doing?"

Kagome quickly intervened, and shook Ed's hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you Ed. Inuyasha, we really should get back to Kaede's village now. Ed, you should come with us; maybe Kaede can tell you how to get back to where you are from."
