A/N: I do not own FullMetal Alchemist, InuYasha or the characters. Nor do I own any songs from neither Broadway plays I use nor the origin. This is a fan fiction based more on the love parts of the HSA series. I hope you enjoy & the more reviews, the more updates! Love you all.

Chapter One

Winry had sat in Ed's room all day working with her automail. She had not left the room once, but she didn't care, she just wanted to fix Ed as fast as possible. After all, they would still be hanging out after. I'm dreaming right? Does he really want to be my boyfriend? Winry blushed as she turned a knob to tighten the arm, making a clank sound. Ed and Al sat in the living room, eating and talking. Al still had felt bad about what happened with Aiyoku and she was angry and not talking to him at the moment.

"Al, your first girlfriend, and she's already mad at you. Didn't you explain the situation?" Ed looked to his brother with a slight smirk.

Al just looked to the ground, "I did brother, but she doesn't quite believe me… Besides, I'd like to see you keep a girl happy for longer!" Al glared playfully at Ed.

Ed blushed now thinking how long could he keep Winry happy without doing something to make her so mad, yet he always gets Winry upset. Al looked to his brother curiously.

"What, brother?" Al did not know of Ed and Winry's confrontation and wondered why his brother was flustered.

"Nothing. Just give her some time, I'll talk to her sometime to let her know what happened. Maybe she'll believe me." Ed smiled to his brother, "I'll see what I can do."

Al smiled and looked into Ed's room at Winry, "Aren't you going to take a break? Eat? Get a drink? Come on Winry, we're not in any hurry. Oh, Ed, have you talked to Mustang about the situation yet?"

Winry didn't acknowledge Al but she just continued on her automail, caressing it and tenderly fixing it up. Ed looked from Winry to Al and then smiled.

"Yeah, he said that I can stay here until the year is over, but he might make us move to a cheaper place since it's all on his tab." Ed grinned childishly.

Al smiled, "That's great!"

The rest of the day, the boys sat lazily in the living room not knowing what to do, still thinking about the last mission and just enjoying the silent relaxation, until a knock on the door came.

Ed answered the door to see Lt. Hawkeye standing outside.

"Lt, I thought you'd be back in Central by now." Ed looked to her.

Lt. Hawkeye saluted Edward and straightened herself, "I have orders from Colonel to just keep an eye on you while you're here. You're still on duty and he just wants me to keep an eye on you so he can torment you later, we all know it." Lt. Hawkeye sighed.

Ed smiled, "Okay, well then just do it like you were last time, and if I need you, I'll know where to find you. Is anyone else still around by any chance?"

"Well, Colonel and his troops aren't too far, they're lounging around like a vacation away from Central. But you'll probably only see me unless Colonel wants to speak with you personally."

"Right, ok. So why are you here now?" Ed scratched his head.

"Colonel Mustang wanted me to make sure you're condition was still in good shape, and your arm…?"

"Winry is fixing it as we speak. I'm fine, the Colonel worries too much." A slight laugh from both of the escaped.

Al smiled to Lt. Hawkeye, "Hello Riza."

"Hello Alphonse."

Ed turned to Al, stretching a bit and then back to Lt. Hawkeye, "Hey, can you do me a favor?"

"I can do my best."

"Good, Could you go over to someone's house and bring them here, I need to have a chat with her?"

Lt. Hawkeye looked at him curiously, "I could…" She was not sure what Ed was implying.


"Great, Al will give you the information." Ed turned from the door and walked into his room leaving Al and Riza.

Lt. Hawkeye looked at Al, waiting her instructions. Al stood there stupidly before understanding Ed's implement.

"Oh, Aiyoku. Here's her address." Al wrote the address down and handed the paper to Riza, "Please be as gentle as you can… I don't want her more angry."

Lt. Hawkeye nodded and turned and walked away, Al blushing crazily.

Ed squatted next to Winry and looked to the automail, "Coming along good?"

Winry blushed at his soft voice and nodded, laying it on the floor, "It should be done tomorrow if I keep this up."

Ed nodded, "Don't work too hard… uh, can we talk later?"

Winry took in a deep breath before nodding and picking up a wrench and focusing on the arm again. Ed stood back up and walked over to Al, smiling.

Al smiled back and looked to Ed, "Was it wise to send Riza to get her?"

"Hey, it helps the alibi. Besides, I don't want to do it at school, nor do I want to go to her." Ed yawned and sat back on the couch.

Al sighed and paced until Riza would return.
