Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist. I own this fanfic (duh) and the character of Lin. Lin appeared in the Anime, but he didn't have a character. Also a character named Lin appeared in the Manga, but I'm telling ou right now that they are NOT THE SAME CHARACTER!!!

FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST: MISSING OR RIGHT UNDER YOUR NOSE

Chapter 1: Fake Memories

"Al…" Ed sat down finally, after having to be restrained by Winry from jumping off the roof after his brother. Ed turned to Winry. "We have to go find him."

"What?! It's pouring rain right now! Besides, you guys have gotten into fights before. I'm sure he'll come back soo-

"No! We have to find him now! I've gotta set him straight! He thinks all of his memories are fake! Didn't you here him?!" Ed said to Winry, cutting her off. He would have yelled, but he didn't have the strength to at that moment. Plus he was kind of preoccupied with Al.

Winry looked down at the ground. "Ed? What were you too afraid to tell him?" Ed looked away.

"I need to ask him something, but I'm too afraid of what the answer will be…" Winry's expression softened.

"Sometimes you've got to ask the question to know what the answer will be. You can't just wait and hope it springs up."

"Yeah… well, let's go!" Ed said as he stood up with a determined look on his face. "We've got to find Al before he gets himself into trouble! Tch! He's hopeless without me." Winry laughed to herself. She could see right through the tough guy act. Ed was worried out of his wits.

A little ways away Al walked down a darkened alleyway. Brother, why didn't you say something? He wondered to himself miserably. Were his memories really fake?

On a building looking down at the suit of armor sat a man. A tall woman was next to him. "Heh, this is going to be easier than we thought. Armor-boy's gone and done all the work for us practically."

"Remember, stick to the plan," said the woman. "We don't want Fullmetal getting away. And we can't let Alphonse find out. You have to act to the best of your abilities."

"Yeah, yeah, I know. No toying around with them too much. But even so, this will be fun!"

Al was walking and thinking when he saw a familiar red coat. He looked up and saw Ed staring at him. "What are you doing here?"

"What? Don't I get a hello? I mean, I am your big brother." Ed said grinning. Al was completely taken aback.

"Don't try and act like that never happened. This time I'm waiting for an answer. Did you make all of my memories up?! Am I a fake?!" Al cried. He was hoping that his big brother would tell him of course not. Then he would come up with a reason of why he was missing parts in his memory. And he would be telling the truth. Alphonse hoped. Instead the answer his brother gave him completely took him aback.

"Of course they are! I thought you had already figured that out! I guess not having a brain does affect you." Ed chuckled. Al stood in shock. "I just created you so that I wouldn't have to do all the dirty work. But now that you've figured that out, you're really not that much use to me. I can leave you here in the dumpster like the tin can that you are."

Al's mind couldn't comprehend what was happening. His brother would never say things like that. Was it all really an act like Barry had told him? Al tried to keep himself from sobbing. He tried to look like his feelings weren't hurt. "This is a really horrible joke brother!"

"It's not a joke." Ed said seriously. The smirk was gone from his face. In an instant it was back on though. "Just needed to clear that up so you wouldn't get to close to me in the future. I don't want to be seen with trash like you."

Al couldn't hold it in any more. "You're lying brother!!!" And with that, he ran away from his "brother." It's not true! He's lying! He has to be!

Ed opened one eye. Where was he? Oh yeah… He was looking for Al with Winry when he heard her scream. He turned around but too late. Lights out. "Winry?" He saw her hunched up form in a corner of the room. "Winry!" He tried to get up but then noticed that his arms weren't moving. What? He then saw that his hands were tied behind his back.

Ed heard a groan from where Winry was lying. It didn't look like she'd be up for a while. Ed took this chance to take in his surroundings. He was in a dull room with a barred door and a dirty window. Am I in prison? He thought to himself. But I haven't done anything wrong…lately.

"Ugh…Ouch…"

"Winry!"

"Huh? Ed? What's going on? Where are we?" Winry asked groggily.

"Beats me. Looks like a prison. Hey…wait a minute…" Ed had just noticed something.

"What?"

"No…It can't be…"

"You guessed right Fullmetal." A tall black haired woman entered the room through the barred door followed by a fat bald man with soulless eyes.

Ed said one hateful word through clenched teeth: "Lust!"

OMG!!! How will the story turn out? You'll just have to wait and see! HAHAHA!!! Anyhow, I hope you enjoyed this! I've been wanting to write this down for a while. PLEASE LEAVE REVIEWS!!! Next Chapter: Brother's Love and Hate. Ooooooh!!! (Scary Ghost Sound X3)
