Hey people out there!
I got a weird idea for a fanfic some months ago. This. SO I wrote the frist chapter XD It's set half a year after the FMA movie, and it contains random-Roy, lovely-Riza, hyperactive OC!Girl, and possibly the Philosophers Stone, if it ever gets so far.
HOWEVER; I will only continue this if anyone actually wants me to. So please review, favourite or do something else that'll let me know that you're interested.
Now, I will let you read my first FMA-fanfic. Enjoy reading "Kindness and Hope"!
With love,
AlekPixi
Full Metal Alchemist: Kindness and Hope
Chapter 1: Riza, Roy and... Naomi?!
Half a year after Al's disappearance, Roy sat in his office as usual. He was one of the few who knew that Al had gone to the other side of The Gate with Ed to seal it. Roy had a tough time sealing The Gate on the side of Shamballa. But it surely wasn't as tough as some of the things he had yet to experience…
Riza stormed into Roy's office, looking terrified.
"Riza? What's the matter?!" Roy stood up immediately.
"Your… your… your…" Riza couldn't make the words out of her mouth.
"Take it easy, sweetheart. Just say it in your own tempo." Roy put his hands upon her shoulders. She took a deep, calming breath and looked him right in the coal-black eye.
"Your mother is most likely on her way." she said. Roy gasped in surprise.
"What?!" he almost shouted.
"It says in this telegram that a member of your family is coming to visit you in two days. How long your family-member is supposed to stay with you is not specified." Riza handed Roy the telegram.
"But my mom is way too old to travel all that way!" Roy said. Riza simply shrugged, frowning. Roy covered the upper half of his face with his gloved hand. "Oh dear…" he mumbled.
-Two days later, at the train station –
Roy waited at the train station almost all day long. Yet, his mother didn't show up. Neither did any of his other family members. When he finally returned to The Headquarter, Riza stood at the entrance, waiting for him.
"Roy… There's something you gotta see." she said, hiding a smile. She took him to where Breda, Falman and the others usually were.
"Mustang! Hey, if that's your mom, then she sure looks good!" Falman laughed and pointed to the corner of the room. Roy looked… and was stunned.
"Uncle Roy!" a girl shouted. She was almost as tall as Riza, with black hair and dark eyes. Her hair was long, tied into a braid. She wore a blue outfit, so she blended well with the rest of the people in the room.
"Naomi?!" Roy asked very loudly, as the girl ran over to greet him.
"Uncle Roy, it's been so long! I have a lot of things to tell you about! Oh, and Riza and everybody else here has been so nice to me! Where were you? Didn't you get my telegram? Oh, and that's what happened to your eye…" Naomi didn't inhale oxygen at all while she was talking, and Roy began to inside-twitch.
"Let's go to my office, Naomi." he said and dragged her along.
-
When seated in Roy's office, Naomi eventually got quieter. Roy sat behind his desk and looked at her.
"I thought it was my mom who would come." he stated.
"Grandma? No, silly! Do you really think she would be able to travel such a long journey?!" Naomi laughed. Roy chose not to answer the question.
"So, why are you in Central, Naomi?" he asked. Naomi smiled.
"Because I'm gonna take the State Alchemist Exam."
"You're WHAT?!"
"You heard me."
"Oh boy…" Roy sighed. "Why the hell do you want to be a dog of the military?" Naomi's smile faded.
"Because… Naoki is very sick. You know that my brother has always had problems with his eyes, right?" she asked. Roy nodded. Naoki was Naomi's older twin brother, and he had always had a bad health, especially about his eyes.
"Is it already that bad?" Roy asked. Naomi nodded.
"He almost can't see anything, and the doctor says that he won't last long. But…" Naomi paused, looking at her hands. "I heard about some brothers some years ago… I think their last name was Elric." Roy felt as if a lightning shot right through him by hearing the name of his young, blonde friends. "And I heard that they had looked for the Philosophers Stone. I thought that maybe I'd be able to meet them, and they could tell me about how to find the stone, so that I can help Naoki recover his eyesight…"
"Not possible." Roy cut in. Naomi looked up in surprise.
"Why not?!" she asked.
"Because the Elric brothers… Aren't here anymore." Roy said, having to choose the right words. Naomi looked terrified.
"What do you mean, Roy?" she asked.
"It's classified information, so I can't tell you exactly what I mean, even though I was a close friend to them, but you won't be able to meet them, that's for sure." Roy tried to explain. Naomi looked as if she were lost in her own thoughts. She looked at Roy with a serious expression.
"They… went to another world, right?" she asked. Roy's eyes widened. "But they didn't die, they just…" Naomi trailed off. "Right?" she then asked. Roy slowly nodded.
"You're right." he mumbled, not knowing why she knew that. But oh well, his niece knew a lot of weird things…
"But, didn't they leave some information behind? Not anything at all?" Naomi asked hopefully.
"I don't know, and if they did, I don't think they told anyone." Roy said. Naomi sighed.
"Then I'll just become a State Alchemist and look for the Philosophers Stone myself." she said, resting her head in her palm. Roy pinched the bridge of his nose.
"I don't think I can stop you, Naomi, but I have to warn you; It is dangerous to look for that stone."
"I know, uncle Roy. I know."
