Niki was looking at the new people that just got on the train. There was a short blonde girl and a short blond boy (both taller then her) . Maybe they where twins. There was also a man in a suit of armor. She saw the boy look at her and start talking to the girl.

"Is that the person we're spose to find?" Ed asked Sansu.

Sansu took out the mission file given to her by Roy and looked at the photo. "She looks taller in the photo, but yeah, I think that's her. Lets leave her be for now. Lets just play cards or something." She replied. They started the game and Niki watched from her seat, aware of every move anyone made. She watched for a long time, but fell asleep. When she woke, the train was pulling to a stop at Dragoya. Looking over to make sure her new "friends" didn't see her, Niki made her way for the exit. She felt a sharp tug on her caller.

Sansu had a hold of Niki's caller, and didn't look as though she was about to let go. "Where are you going?" Sansu asked, raising her eyebrow slightly.

"Umm...this is my stop??" Niki replied, trying to pull free.

Sansu sighed. "Yeah...okay. Your Niki aren't you? The Black soul Alchemist."

"Depends, who wants to know?" Niki said. She had a way of being stubborn like that.

Sansu's eyebrow twitched in anger. "Major Sansuke Elric, the Living Soul Alchemist. Now answer me. Are you the Black Soul Alchemist, or aren't you?"

"Yeah-yeah. Listen, Major, I don't have time for this. This really is my stop." Niki said, starting to walk of again. What does she want with me? I better play it cool...I'll try to talk my way out of this. Niki thought. Sansu still did not let go.

"No, you listen to me. My mission is simple, get you and bring a girl named Niki back to Central. Now, I want an answer. Are you Niki or not?!" Sansu fumed.

"Fine!" Niki said. "I am Niki, but I'm not going to Central, and there's no way I'm going to let you, or anyone else make me. Got that?"

How did I get myself into this mess? The bitch is driving me crazy! Alright, time for plan two. She'll make a fuss if I drag her out of here...put maybe... "Alright. I wont make you come. But if you don't come with me, they might send Colonel Mustang after you. And he is not as...understanding... as me. So it would be in your best interest to come with me. Besides, I'll give you chocolate!!" Sansu said.

"Haha. I'm not a little kid. And you can send Mustang after me, I don't care. I know him, and I know how he works. So its in your best interest to let me go. Besides, if you don't, I'll shave all your hair off." Niki threatened.

Shave my hair off? lol that would be funny. I'd just grow it back with alchemy. GAAAAH!! how will I get her to come without causing a fight!! What a drag. Sansu thought. "Please, just come on. I really don't have time. Your coming with me one way or another, but I'd rather not hurt you." Sansu said.

"Uh- uh. Never. I'm not going to central." Niki replied simply. Sansu sighed.

"I can see your not going to come without a fight..." Sansu said with a evil grin. Sansu let go of Niki. "Go on. I can't stop ya." Niki turned around and started to walk off. Sansu hit her in the back of the head with her auto-mail arm, knocking her out. Stubborn, pigheaded, bitchy pipsqueak...

When Niki woke up, she was in an unfamiliar room. What the fuck? Where am I? And how the hell did I get here? Niki thought. She rubbed her head where Sansu hit her. Oh yeah...that whore Sansu hit me in the head. What did she hit me with? So many questions!! "Wait...white walls... photos of Roy Mustang...mini skirts?! I must be in Central!! NOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUU!!" Niki yelled. "Sansuke you bitch!! Once I find you, your DEAD!!" She fumed.

"Oh, really. I told you you where coming either way." Sansu said, coming in the door.

Niki glared at Sansu. "Why did you bring me here?! Who do you think you are?!"

"I think I'm Major Sansuke Elric, the Living Soul Alchemist. Born in the year 1900. And I brought you here because I was told to. That's the way it works in the Military, you should know that. Your a state alchemist too. From here on in, when your told to do something, you do it. Understand?" Sansu said.

"Yeah-yeah. Whatever. Why were you told to bring me here, huh? Why after all these years is the military looking for me?"

"I don't know. You should ask Colonel Mustang, he's the one who gave me the mission." Sansu replied.

"okay." Niki said. She walked to mustangs office and went in side. "Lt. Colonel Mustang? Hey, long time no see, Flame-boy."

Mustang sat up from sleeping at his desk. "Huh? Oh, hey. And it Colonel now." He said, yawning.

"Ah...well, I was wondering why the military wants me after all these years." Niki asked.

"Oh. Well, the Fuhrer said that getting you back here was of top most importance. Something about...a killer looking for you...only goes after state Alchemist and your next on his list. He said not to let you go anywhere without some one with you. I don't know why he wants to protect you so badly..." Roy said.

"Huh? What? Killer after me? That's something that doesn't happen every day..." Niki yawned.

Sitting in a chair.

"You don't sound surprised. Did you know about the killer?" Roy asked.

"I knew someone was following me. That's part of the reason I didn't want to come with Sansu-bitchy- san. When you live on the streets, you learn not to trust people." Niki said simply.

"I understand. But with the killer looking for you, I'm assigning you an escort." Roy said looking at some papers on his desk. "Looks like the Elric siblings are the only ones free, but to be nice, I'll only assign Edward for the mission." He added with a grin.

"What?! I have to walk around with some guy?!" Niki fumed.

"I'm sorry, but that's the Fuhrer's orders. Oh, and I have a mission for you two...you and Edward I mean. You are to go to Stonewell and attend a privet school there. There has been many student disappearances there in the last few weeks." Roy replied.

Niki sighed. "Fine. Who is this Edward guy, anyway? And when do we leave?"

"One of the three that got you from the train. And your train leaves tomorrow morning." Roy said.

"Which one? The one in the armor, or the shorter one?"

"The shorter one. But don't let him hear you say that...he'll rip your head off!" Roy joked.

"What ever. He's taller then me, so I have no right to call him short, do I? Anyway, I'll go inform him that he now has to look after me." Niki said. Maybe this wont be that bad...hmm... She thought. Roy nodded and Niki went off to find Edward. Where is he? He's only the sortest...second shortest...person here!! And he's wearing a bright red coat!! How hard can he be too find!? Niki thought after about an hour of looking.

"Niki-baka-san!! Where do you think your going?" Someone called from behind Niki. Niki turned to see Sansu leaning on a wall.

"To find your brother, Bitchy-chan. Do you know where he is?"

"Why are you looking for him?" Sansu asked. She glared at Niki.

"I have to. He's my escort. Mustang's making me have an escort." Niki replied, returning Sansu's glare.

"He's in the mess hall. See ya, Baka-san." Sansu said.

Niki ran to the mess hall. She saw Ed and ran over to him. "Edward-san. Roy gave me a message for you."

"He did? What is it, Niki-chan?" Ed asked.

"He told me to tell you that you are my escort. And that we have a mission." Niki replied.

"Really?" Ed asked more himself then Niki. Interesting... Ed thought.

Yes, we leave tomorrow morning to go to Stonewell. I will be attending a privet school, an you'll be there to make sure no one...you know..kills me. I guess you going to pose as my brother or something...I'm not really sure."

"Ok... you can call me Ed by the way." Ed said with a grin.

"Ok...Ed. So...we leave early tomorrow morning...and its getting late...I'm turning in...see ya tomorrow!" Niki said, returning to her room. She heard Ed say good night as she walked away. She when to her bed and fell asleep quickly.

The next morning she got up and packed her suitcase and went to get Ed.

Hey Ed, you ready to go?" Niki asked. Ed nodded and they went to board the train. It was silent for a while, mostly they just looked out the window. "How long til we get to Stonewell?" Niki yawned. Train rides made her drowsy.

"Well be there tomorrow morning. You should get some sleep..." Ed replied. She open her mouth to say "Ok" but she was to tiered. She fell asleep, resting her head on Ed's shoulder. The next morning Ed woke Niki up. "We're here." He said, shaking her shoulder.

"Ugh...fine." Niki said. She sat up and yawned. Grabbing their bags, they unboarded the train. Niki looked around, stopping to look at something in a window of a shop every once and awhile. They made their way to their apartment.

"Go unpack. We need to go pick up your uniform." Ed said.

"Uniform? Oh, yeah. I forgot." Niki said.

"Hm...I'm not sure they'll have one in your size...your tiny!" Ed joked.

"Who are you calling a runt too small to be seen under a magnifying glass, you jerk!?" Niki fumed.

"I-I didn't say anything like that!!" Ed said, sweat dropping. Niki calmed down and they left to get her uniform. The uniform was a button-up, short sleeved Shirt with a tie, a plated skirt, and knee-high socks with a pair of shoes. When they got back to there apartment, Niki tried it on for size. She changed into it and walked out to the main room.

"Is it too big? it doesn't fell too big or small...but..." Niki mused.

"N-no... It fits you good..." Ed replied, coughing.

Niki raised he eyebrow. "Okay? Um...well, I'll go change..." She said. Just then the phone rang.

Ed answered it. "Hello, Edward here." He said. "Oh, hello sir. Yes, she's right here." He said, handing the phone to Niki.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Niki. I was just told that the killer was caught. You don't need an escort any more, okay, Niki-san?" Roy's voice answered.

"Okay Flame-boy. Bye." Niki said, hanging up. She turned to see Ed starring at her. "Where you starring at my ass, you perv!?" She yelled.

"N-no! Of course not!!" Ed stammered, turning red in the face.

Niki grabbed a frying pan and hit Ed across the face with it. "How dare you?! I'm going to KILL YOU!!" She fumed. "You pervert!!"

"I told you I wasn't!!" He said, blocking her hits with his auto-mail arm.

"Your face told me you where!!" She yelled.

After much yelling and throughing of random objects, Niki calmed down and sat on the couch. "You should go to bed, Niki-san." Edward said.

"No way!! You might rape me you perv!!" Niki yelled. "Listen Eddy-bay, if you ever look at my ass again, I will kill you without thinking twice. Got it?" She warned.

Ed fumed. "DON'T CALL ME EDDY-BAY!!" He yelled.

Niki laughed. "All right, Edo." She teased.

"Gaaaaahhhh!! DON'T CALL ME EDO EITHER!! Sansu calls me that and I hate it!!" Ed fumed some more. Niki went about teasing Ed for hours. At 12:15 AM, Niki finally fell asleep. Niki had her head laid in Ed's lap. Ed watched her as she sleep. Hm...she talks in her sleep, he thought. He fell asleep soon after that, listening to Niki's sleep talking. Ed woke up before Niki and grinned down at her sleeping head. He got up, genitally moving her head off his lap and changed into some clean clothes. When he came back out, Niki was just waking up. "Good morning, Chibi-san."

"Don't call me that, Eddy-bay!!" Niki said. Her head was spinning. "Your lucky I can't think striate, or you would be in the hospital." She said. Niki tried to stand up, but fell down.

"What's wrong, Niki-sama?" Ed said. He ran over to Niki and helped her sit back on the couch.

"Why don't you tell me, then we'll both know." Niki said. She leaned her head on Ed's shoulder.

Ed put his hand on Niki's forehead. "God, Niki, your burning up!" He exclaimed.

"No shit, sherloc!" Niki replied weakly. Her chest heaved. "Bring me the trash can!" She said. Ed obeyed. Niki leaned her head over the trash can a puked. Ed rubbed her back to soothe her system. After a few more minutes, the puking ended. Niki then went into a coughing fit. Ed gave her a blanket and a glass of water.

"I'm calling a doctor." Ed said. He got up and walked to the phone. "Hello? Yes, my friend is sick, very sick. She's been coughing and puking all morning." Ed said.

"Why don't you bring her in and I'll have a look at her." The doctor replied.

Ed picked Niki up and carried her out side. He carried her all the way to the hospital and laid her in a chair. "I'm here to see a doctor. My friend is very sick." He said.
