Half Demon Alchemist

Chapter: 1 – Mysterious Hat Girl

Ed and Al just got into the military as state Alchemists and were psyched that they were getting closer to the Philosopher Stone. Winry just got into town and had decided to pay Ed an Al a visit; after saving her from a cereal killer and getting reaccepted into the military Ed and Al were finally back on schedule, even though they lost a very young friend and still couldn't let go. But Ed made a promise that if they came across another girl like her that they would now know how to protect her, and will never let her die like Nina did.

They entered a new village and were starving. Once Winry finally went back home they wanted to relax for a while. They ordered something to eat then watched a show put on for the villagers.

"Hey brother look at this," Al said.

Ed turned to what Al was pointing at. It was a poster on the wall that said… 'Wanted: Dead or Alive…freaky hat girl strikes again!'

"Huh, I wonder what they want her for," Ed wondered.

He then went back to watching the show when someone stood in front of him. She was blocking his view. "Um, excuse me but can you move aside a little please," Ed said.

The girl had long white hair and a hat on with weird looking long blue clothes and red eyes. Ed gasped. She's the girl from the 'wanted' poster! He thought looking back at the poster. The girl's eyes followed his gaze; they widened. She then began moving forward out of the crowed and away from Ed

"Hey wait!" Ed said running after her with Al behind him. When she got out of the crowed she began running as fast as she could away from Ed. "Man, she's fast," Ed said running faster.

She ran to a dead end, her heart pumping quickly along with Ed's as she looked up at the giant wall in front of her.

"Listen, I don't want to hurt you! I just want to talk!" Ed warned but she didn't want to believe him. She turned towards the boys' and backed up against the wall. Her eye brows then went down as a grin showed on her face. She jumped high in the air, bouncing off the walls to her left and right and landed behind Ed and Al she then disappeared around the corner.

"Whoa! Who was that brother?" Al asked.

"I don't know, but I think we should stick around for a while," Ed said.

A kind farmer let Ed and Al stay for a while; Ed and Al needed their rest. As they entered the guest room Ed noticed the TV on, on the news channel. Ed listened.

"Yes another robbery was committed not too long from now, and we do believe that the mystery hat girl was the one behind it all. We go back to the scene of the crime…" said the woman reporter. The screen then showed a man at a bakery with crashed windows and stolen foods. "Thank you Jillian, we are here now at Bob's Bakery and it seems that many goods were stolen and eaten. A huge mess was left on the floor along with crumbs. But we detectives are not giving up on looking for the mysterious girl…now here's George with the weather…"

"Aw there you two are," said the farmer.

"Hey farmer Brown," Ed said.

"Yes."

"Who is this girl that keeps robbing and doing crimes?"

"Oh yes the mysterious hat girl, wonder who came up with that name," Mr. Brown said putting his hand on his chin. "Well we know few about her, only that she's the freakiest girl in the village. She steals food from bakeries and hides somewhere with no home or family. She came by not too long ago and everyone mocked her, no one knows why she always wears a hat and never takes it off, or where she came from with her odd clothing and high jumping. Her hair seems a bit strange too."

"So you don't think any different then the villagers do?" Al asked.

"Of course! The girls a freak what else do you expect?!" Al looked down.

"So does she only steal from bakeries?" Ed asked. Mr. Brown nodded. "Hmm," Ed said thinking to himself.

"What is it brother?" Al asked.

Ed shook his head. "It's nothing," he said starring at the picture shown on the TV of the mysterious girl.

The girl was in an old grave yard she put flowers by a grave that she picked from a field. Tears fell from her eyes.

"I'm sorry my dear friend," she said. "I will restore your honor." She sniffed. "You were the only one who cared for me, my only friend. Then…they killed you…" She said crying harder. "I promise…I'll get revenge, and set you free…I'll bring you back, and we can be together once again." She bowed her head as she heard thunder. She looked up…rain started falling. She covered her head and ran for cover in her old box that she stayed at. She then took a bite of some food that she had stolen and sighed as she cuddled up in her box.

Ed was tossing and turning in his sleep, he then opened his eyes and sat up; he sighed.

"What's wrong brother?" Al asked.

"Nothing, I just can't get to sleep," Ed said. He then got out his covers and stood.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going for a walk," he said walking out of the room. He stepped out into the cold raining night. "Oh well, it's only rain right?" He said to himself. He walked around the village and it seemed much larger than it looked; no wonder they could never find the mystery girl. "She'll probably be hiding somewhere where no one looks," he said to himself. "But where?"

Ed pasted the bakery that the girl had robbed, even some others that were still not cleaned. Ed wanted to find out what was up with her, but he needed to find some way to talk to her without her freaking out or running away. Unless I use my Alchemy to make her listen, Ed thought. He shook his head, nah, then she'll get even more freaked out and I'll never get anywhere with her, he thought sighing.

He continued walking and thought he heard something or someone behind him, he turned around…but nothing was there. He continued until he came to a cemetery. He looked around at the graves and remembered his mother. He sighed again.

"Damn, it's that kid from the show today," the girl said silently to herself. "How did he find me?!" She said crawling out of her box. Ed turned around when he heard someone running through puddles of water.

"HEY!!" He called out.

She froze…all wet from the rain; same as Ed. "Please, I don't want to hurt you, just listen for a second," Ed said walking a little closer to the girl who backed away a little.

"Just leave me alone!" She yelled.

"I heard that when you first came here, people teased you," Ed said. The girl said nothing. "Did something like that make you steal from places?"

"NO!" The girl startled Ed. "I don't steal for revenge or anger, I steal so I don't starve to death," she said.

"Starve to death?"

"Yeah! I'm broke! I have no money, no food, no home! No one to look up to! Well…I did," she said looking down.

"Who?" Ed asked.

"When I first got here, she was the only friend I had. She always was nice and helped me in my time of need," the girl suddenly began crying.

"What happened?"

The girls head dropped. "The teasers thought of something to really tease me…to really, really hurt me…so…they…they…" the girl then fell to her knees in tears. Ed ran to her and kneeled by her with his hand on her shoulder.

"Did they kill her?" Ed asked.

"How did you know?" She asked lifting her head up.

Ed turned to her friend's grave. "It was the only grave with flowers still there…without them dying like the rest, I assumed that they were placed there not to long ago," Ed explained.

Ed then held out his hand, the girl looked at it.

"I'm Ed Elric."

The girl slowly took his hand and shook it.

"I'm…Kidakakosh," she said.

Ed froze.

She chuckled. "Kida for short."

Ed smiled.

"My name was part of what they made fun of…and not my real name…I would never let anyone know my real name…they made fun of my nickname," she said sadly.

"Kida? Is that your nickname?" Ed asked. She nodded. "Now why would they make fun of that name? Sure it's different but it sounds really pretty." Kida smiled. "Why is it that you told me your real name?" Ed wondered.

Kida paused. She then looked up at him and smiled. "I don't know…I guess it's because I…"

"Freeze!" Called some voices.

They came out of the bushes and held up guns to the girl who had no choice but to surrender and hold up her hands in defeat. The military! Two officers walked up to Kida and grabbed her wrists, pulling her from the floor. The twisted them behind her back and handcuffed them tightly. "Ah!" She said in pain.

"That should hold ya," one said with a smirk.

She looked at him angrily.

"Go to he…"

The second officer punched her in the face!

"Hey!" Ed shouted in shock!

Another officer held him back.

"What your mouth young lady," said the officer that had punched Kida. Kida growled at him.

"What's going on?" Ed asked.

"Nicely job kid for finding the freak," said an officer.

"What?!" Ed said angrily. "What are you talking about?"

"We saw you wondering the streets and wondered what you were up to," said an officer.

"You followed me?" Ed said. The officer smiled.

"You stalker!" Ed yelled trying to break loose from the officers holding him back.

"Oh please boy, we're just doing our job."

"But she hasn't done anything wrong!!" Ed shouted.

"How would you know what she has or hasn't done? You just got to this town…don't make us throw you out," the officer said. Ed only glared at him angrily.

"Take her away," he continued.

Kida gasped. "Ed!!" She yelled as she was forced away from him.

"NOO!!" Ed yelled.

"SHUT UP!!" The same officer said as he punched Ed hard in the gut. His eyes widened as he fell to the ground holding his stomach tightly.

"I won't let them get away," he said silently. He clapped his hands and placed them on the ground. As the officers stuffed Kida into a truck and drove off his Alchemy flipped them over. The officers came out of the truck and didn't bother going over to him, they took out their guns and shot him twice watching him fall to the ground.

"ED!!" Kida yelled.

The officers grabbed her and stuffed her into the second truck that had soon come after a call. They were gone within minutes.
