Chapter 1
Footsteps echoed as feet ran quickly across the concrete paved sidewalk, a rather small slender form dodging the people that also walked along it. The only difference between her and them was that they weren't in a hurry. Normally she would have stopped to at least enjoy the rather peaceful day, even though there was a pretty good chance for rain, but sadly enough she was running late and by stopping she would have been even more late which would obtain her a punishment. Grumbling lightly under her breath she quickly cut out of the crowd and up the steps of the Central HQ building, muttering under her breath."Just great." she huffed a bit, hurrying inside only to suddenly stop, her eyes narrowing as they caught sight of Hughes who had caught sight of her also. They remained there frozen for just a few seconds...and there it was, his wallet with those pictures in it. The pictures of his daughter. Biting her bottom lip she would take off in a sprint down the hallway with him on her tail. Taking a sharp turn she would stumble past Havoc and Riza but of course Hughes was quick to follow. Picking up her pace she would grab ahold of a doorknob, turn it and quickly move inside the office, slamming it close with her back against it. A soft sigh would escape her pale lips as she would grumble." Bloody hell.." she huffed a bit then without a single word would hop up onto the desk, her legs dangling as she turned her gaze to her father, Roy Mustang who was probably not too pleased with the way she had entered without knocking and the fact that she was sitting on his desk. Although he was probably used to it by now since she never really listened much even though she was of course a State Alchemist and he was her superior and father.
A few seconds later another knock issued. Roy sighed. "See that is how you enter my room." His voice grew loud as he yelled some "Come in!" The door opened as Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric entered. Ed was staring nonchalantly at the wall while Al stood behind him unmoving "Ah the Elric brothers its about time you showed up." Ed sighed "yeah yeah what is it you want from us we were kind of busy searching for clues you know." he folded his arms. Roy smirked..most others who mouthed him would be in trouble but leave it to Edward to be the same ass as always. "I'm putting you on assignment with my daughter." Edward blinked "Who..and more importantly..Why? I'm Busy if you couldn't tell!" he growled, Mustang pointed to the girl "Right there i expect you to treat her with the same respect you would me..after all she is my daughter." Ed sighed inwardly "..oh boy."
Rolling her eyes she would shoot her father a look." Neh so? I'm not them now am I? and anyway I don't see them getting chased by Hughes with his daughter pictures." she crossed her arms over her chest and raised an eyebrow, slowly turning her small slender form to peer over at the door. Her hair was raven black, long and went past her shoulders. Her eyes were dark and her skin was pale. Kicking her legs back and forth she would simply just listen as her father spoke that is until she found out that she had to be partnered with them."Wait..what!" she scowled and jumped off the desk." I have to be partnered with the midget!" She stared at her father as she pointed towards Ed...even though she was at least a couple inches shorter then him. She didn't even mention Al mainly because Ed seemed to have a huge ego from what she had heard about him and Al was simply just well...Al."I didn't sign up for this!" she crossed her arms.
Ed growled "WHO ARE YOU CALLING SHORT" Al grabbed him as he squirmed yelling loudly. Roy sighed "I don't care what either of you think..your on assignment together so shut up." Ed was fuming "Whats the damn assignment?" Roy chuckled "Well took you long enough to hear it.."
He smiled "You get to escort a man to another town that will take you awhile to get to. Hes being targeted by a particularly bad group of men." Ed sighed "Great baby sitting..." Roy laughed "Shutup it just happens that's the town you were going to rush off to." he looked to his daughter "Now you need to be ready this is your biggest assignment make sure you guys get nice and ready before you leave hell be at this address waiting for you tomorrow afternoon. Dismissed." he spun his chair away as Ed and Al left the room sighing "At least one good thing came out of this.."
