Chapter one: Every Heart

Al walked through the streets of the small town of Numoir. He had finished his

Training with Izumi and wandered from town to town looking for anyone who might have an idea on how to help him find his brother. There were a lot of talented alchemist but none of them had ever heard of anyone attempting what Al asked of them. Long story short, no one could help him. Al was now 13 years old, he visited Resembool every once in a while, but most of the time he spent it alone.

He ducked into a restaurant for a drink; he sat at the bar and asked the bartender for a soda. As he waited for it he heard someone introduce a girl to a stage. Her voice made him turned his attention to her. A slow song came on as her angelic voice rang through the restaurant:

Tell me babe, how many do I shed my tears?
Every Heart Every Heart is not a gentle yet

shall I do? I can never say my loneliness
Every Heart doesn't know so what to say oh what to do

I was afraid of darkness cause I felt that I was left alone
So I prayed for help to the distant million stars

Round & round the planets revolve round the sun
And we always seek after love and peace forever more
Growing growing woe baby we can work it out
Look up at the sky every heart is shining all today

Show me now, What kind of smile do I come across
Every heart every heart can take a step towards the dreams

All of us what to take a lasting happiness
Whenever you feel sad, I wanna hold you
& give you a sound sleep

Someday every hearts gonna free and easy
We have peace of mind
Someday all the people find the way to love Goes & goes the time goes on we are not alone
We live on together and we will find some precious things
Sometime we will smile sometime we will cry somehow
Don't forget believing yourself - Tomorrow's never die

There is the warm heart places on my mind
In my earliest day's there and it's so sweet
There are many stars they have talk with me so kind
They say yes always time's friend of mine so shine

Round & Round the planets revolve round the sun
And we always week after love and peace forever more
Growing growing woe baby we can work it out
Look at the sky every heart is shining all today

Goes & goes the time goes on we are not alone
We live on together and we will find some precious things
Sometime we will smile sometime we will cry somehow
Don't forget believing yourself - Tomorrow's never die.

Everyone clapped as she stepped of the stage. She walked past Al and left the restaurant; Al couldn't help but notice a blue gem on her necklace that glowed as she walked by him.

It was nighttime and Al walked through the streets trying to find a vacant hotel, the last one he tried was completely full. He heard a noise in the alley he had just passed and he went back and sneaked a peek. He saw the singer from the restaurant fighting with five guys twice her size. One grabbed her arm and she kicked him so hard he flew into a wall. She clapped her hands then touched the ground, next thing the thugs knew they were flying through the air. The one who she had kicked earlier got up and grabbed her from behind. "Let me go!" She shouted as she squirmed to get loose. The thug threw her against the wall knocking her out. The thug then went towards her. Al had enough; he picked up a pole and charged at the thug. He hit him on the head knocking out a very confused man.

He walked towards the girl who seemed to be his age. He noticed her necklace was on the ground and picked it up. The moment he, did the gem glowed pulling him into a vision. He saw a younger version of the girl crying, she ran through a battlefield shouting something. She reached a young woman, her body was bloody and her hair was gray. "I couldn't control it," She said, pain pulsing through her body she crawled to the little girl, "sorry Ronnie, it's your responsibility now, you're the only one left. Protect it." She gave her a glowing blue gem, when she touched it energy pulsed from it undoing her braid her pink hair flew wildly, and an intricate design was carved into the gem. When it stopped, she looked around for the young woman, but all she could find was dust. "O-nee-Chan!" Ronnie shouted, "O-nee-Chan!" then the vision stopped.

Both Al and Ronnie's eyes snapped open, she tried to stand up but she felt dizzy and leaned against the wall. "Give me the stone." Ronnie's pained voice said, "Thanks for helping me, but they'll kill you if they see you with me." "Who? Why?" Al asked. "I'm not so sure who but it's because of the stone." Ronnie answered.

"The stone?"

"Yes. Have you ever heard of the philosopher's stone?"

"Yes."

"This is the Dreamer's stone. It has more power than it, and it'll never run out of power." Ronnie explained. Then something occurred to Al. "Don't you think it would be easier if you had someone to help you?" he asked.

"I guess." She responded.

"Well, I need help with something too. And I think this is the answer. I'll help you and you help me."

"I don't know," Ronnie started; it was then that they noticed that the roofs of both buildings were covered with thugs. "You got yourself a deal. Now run!" They ran right out of the town. "By the way, my name's Alphonse. But you can call me Al." Al shouted to the girl behind him. "My name's Veronica, you can call me Ronnie. So Al, where are we going?"

"I don't know. Where are we running?"

"If we keep going in this direction we'll reach Central in no time."

"Ok, Central it is!"

O.k. that's the first chapter of my first story! Hope you enjoyed it.

I forgot this so here goes

Disclaimer: I own nothing! But I do own Ronnie, she's my O.C. oh yeah and the dreamer's stone is also my original idea.

Ok, now back to the story, I titled the chapter every heart because the song Ronnie sang is the end theme of Inuyasha titled Every Heart. Also, O-nee-Chan is Japanese for big sister, so you can probably guess who the young woman was. Please Review!
