"Hm...I wonder, what will I need? Oops!" A brunet girl with bows in her hair looked down to see that she had dropped her book.
"Clumsy me!" Suddenly, she heard a roaring sound of a motorcycle. She looked out to see a new guy. "Oh, yay! I can welcome him!" She ran outside, and stopped abruptly in front of him. She was stunned at how handsome he was. He had golden eyes, and blond hair tied in a braid. She couldn't stop staring at his eyes that seemed to go on forever, like an intriguing dark mystery.
As Ed got off of his motorcycle, he couldn't help but notice the girl in front of him. "Uh, hey." he said. He had to at least try to fit in while he was here. If not, who knows what Mustang would do. Not that he really cared, but knowing him, it would be worse than this. Ed adjusted his gloves, making sure they were on tight.
She stared at him, only half-aware that he had said anything at all. Although she did notice that his voice was so soothing, and that she felt immediately relaxed. She shook out of it, realizing that he was speaking to her. "Oh, I'm so sorry! I was daydreaming again! Silly me!" She felt stupid. Really stupid. "Well, anyway, I'm Tohru Honda! I'm pleased to meet you! What's your name?" As she said that, she felt herself fall. "clumsy idiot!" she thought as she fell.
'Alright then...' Ed thought to himself. He really didn't know what to think of this girl. "I'm Edward." He said to her with a smile. He reached out his arm offering to help her off the ground, "Are you alright?" he asked Tohru.
She nodded, reaching for his hand. He was so mysterious! When they touched hands, Tohru noticed that his was hard. She didn't say anything, not wanting to be rude. "So, what class are you in, Edward?"
"I'm really not sure. They told me to stop by the office and they'd tell me there." he said to her.
"Oh, ok! I'll show you where the office is!"she dragged him by the hand, leading him there.
"Uh... Alright..." Ed said as he was being dragged by Tohru. She sure bounced back quickly...'Ed thought to himself.
When they reached the office, the secretary looked up."Hi, Mrs. Hughes, this is Edward-Edward-" she looked at him, with a blank stare. It just occurred to her! She didn't know his last name!
Flashback
Ed walked into Mustang's office. He had heard he wanted him for some reason. Mustang was focused on some papers in front of him when he looked up to see Edward. "Just in time." he said in a serious tone. "Look," he said to Ed pushing him the papers he was looking at. "five high school students, killed. I've been asked to look into it. It seems each one had a tendency to steal quite often. They had been known for starting fights, too. There's not much else I can tell from this." he said to Ed."And you're telling me this, why?" Ed asked him. Roy smiled, "I've decided that I need a closer look at the school to figure out who's killing these people. Thing is, I'm a little old for school." his smiled widened, "Which is why you are now going to attend this high school and report to me what goes on, and you are going to help me with this." he said to him. "There is no way in hell that I'm going to do this!" Ed yelled to him. "Oh yes you are. You don't want to know what will happen if you don't." he said to him, "I've already made arrangements. Oh, and you can't tell anyone you're the Fullmetal Alchemist. You'll also have to hide that arm and leg of yours, too. You'll be going as my son. It makes it easier to explain if we leave it like that. You'll also have to use my last name so no one will know it's you. Al also won't be able to come. Do you understand?" he asked. "...Yes..." Ed said reluctantly.
End Flashback
"Mustang, it's Edward Mustang." Ed said. He hated going by Mustang's last name. He just had to enroll him under that, didn't he? He hated him enough, but now he was expected to make him like his father. This is so stupid! Ed thought to himself.
Tohru smiled at him. She liked his last name. It sounded so..noble! Suddenly she jumped when the bell rang, and the doors were being locked. Tohru was shocked. "No!" she yelled! "Not another killing!" she only had to pray with all my heart that it wasn't one of the Sohmas.
Crap! He had just got here and this already was happening. Mustang wasn't kidding when he said this was bad.
A boy with brunet hair stood smiling as he watched some nearby teachers hover over the dead girl's body. 'Serves her right for trying to start fights with other students, he thought as he held his backpack close to him. He turned as he went into his homeroom. If people would just stop doing wrong things, and actually think about doing good, they wouldn't have to suffer death. But, until they learn from their sins, I, Light, will have to keep killing them.
Tohru ran forward to see the girl on the floor- "no!" she yelled as the police who had just arrived at the scene were dragging her away from the body. She knew that girl.
Ed looked at the body. That's strange... he thought, doesn't look like someone exactly killed her, but that she just died... but, that couldn't be. So many people keep dying the same way... it can't just be a coincidence... He then looked away from the dead girl, Damn, Mustang, why'd you have to make me of all people deal with this?
Tohru wept by the side of the girl, and then looked up, sensing Edward's presence. She immediately got up and threw herself upon him, not really aware of her movements, just knowing she needed comfort.
Edward didn't expect her to do that, but then again, he couldn't just push her off of him. He may not of known who the girl who died was, but obviously Tohru did. What can I say to her? He wondered. He didn't really know what to say to help her.
He then watched as the team of autopsy people came in, picking up the dead girls body. He'd have to tell Mustang about this after school... oh that sounded so weird to him... "after school."
Tohru cried in his arms, unable to hold it back. The girl who had died was her distant cousin. She hadn't spoken to her lately, but they used to play together as kids. Suddenly, she was aware of a voice calling her. "Tohru are you ok?" she heard Uo call, "And who the heck are you holding onto?"
Ed looked up to see another girl. She must be a friend of hers, he thought to himself.
Tohru immediately was aware that she was holding onto Ed, and very awkwardly let go, and ran into Uo's arms, where she just stood, puzzled. "Who're you?" She asked, "and who's dead this time?" By this time, they were carrying off the corpse.
