SUMM: "Please Ed, Don't!" Lieutennant Hawkeye shreiked as Ed took another few steps towards the man with the red eyes. "I'll kill you for what you've done to Al!" Without even getting his hands close to one another, an electric sound filled the air as a long blade materialized on Edward's right arm. "Oh my god..." Roy whispered under his breath...

In Love and War

TOLD YA!

Ch1- Brotherly Love

Ed landed with a thud onto the dampened grass, rolling to a stop. "I'll get you for that!" Ed laughed as he lunged for his younger brother. Alphonse quickly dodged to the left and his open palm connected with Edward's ribcage. A sickening crack filled the air as Ed sprawled onto the ground, writhing in agony. "Oh my gosh!" Al screamed, feeling terrible for what he'd done, "Are you okay!"

"Of course not...you dumbass!" Ed shreiked, pausing to take another shallow breath. "Ed! I'm so sorry!" Al added, "I didn't mean to!"

"Well," Ed said, "Sorry wont...do much right...now" Ed gasped again. "ARRGG!" Al screamed at himself, "How could I be so stupid!" Sorry tears trickled down Al's pale cheeks, dripping onto the already dew sodden ground.

"Al...Please dont cry..." Ed wheezed, "Just help me...inside..." Al nodded his head and proceeded in carefully picking Ed up like a bride, and carrying him up the steps to Penako's door.

"Damnit you two..." Penako grumbled, "You are always getting yourselvs into trouble!"

"It's not their fault!" Winrey barked, "They were just playing!"

"I'm so sorry anut Penako!" Al cried again, "It was all my fault!"

"EVERYONE JUST SHADDUP!" Ed shreiked from behind hisses and clenched teeth, "Let the old...Hag talk...would'ja?"

"OLD HAG!" Penako snapped at ed before she dug the end of her pipe into his thigh, "Just so you know, this 'old hag' is the one that is holding your life by a thread!"

"My LIFE!" Ed screamed back, "Its only a few broken ribs you senile whore!" Ed attempted to stand but he suddenly arched forward and fell flat on his face, plowing his 'few broken ribs' into the hardwood floor.

"GAAAAAH!" Ed cried, rolling over to releiv the pressure from his chest. He lay there wheezing and panting before he felt a sharp prick in his left arm.

"Just lie still, and you'll be fine..." Penako said, removing the needle and blacing a small bandage on the injection.

"Is he gonna be oka..." everything trailed off...no more voices could be distinguished through the haze of Ed's mind. Soon, no more faces, just blurred patches of color...then...nothing

Ed awoke some hours later lying in what seemed to be a hospital bed. He looked down to see his chest bandaged up and Alphonse at the foot of his uncomfortable bed. "Oh...Hey Al...What're you doin' here?" Ed managed to push out. "...I'm...I'm so sorry brother...its just...i'm not used to my body yet...its only been a few weeks, and...well...Major Armstrong told me to keep working out and I might be as strong as him someday..."

"You? As strong...As him?" Ed let out a quick breath of air, his new way of laughter when he was in pain, "Al...Armstrong couldn't have broken three of my ribs with an open palm..."

"Four..." Al said, looking at his feet, "and your number three vertibrae..."

All Ed could do was laugh (sort of) and drift back asleep, waiting to get out of this crappy bed, and get a rematch with that brother of his.

STARRY THINGYS

So how'd you like it? 'Not violent enough' you say? well, this is just an intro into my dark, sadistic mind to let you know why Ed sounds so pissed since Al was BLANK (beaten, killed, whatever you choose it to be for now, but you'll see in a later chapter) For now, sorry for the minimal violence this chapter...but just wait till later...you'll be begging me to stop!

(Probably not, huh?)
