She just wanted her legs back. she had not walked in five years. her legs were withered, any muscles they one had rotted away in her years in a wheelchair. They were about to be taken off. One more day. She just needed one more day. She performed the ceremony. All the components for a healthy leg. She would give anything.

She had no friends her age. Her voice brought her pain. They all agreed she had the loveliest singing voice, and yet all she longed for was to share it with others. They thought it was contagious, a disease. when it was a birth defect. I

t was going well blue lightning spinning round her when it turned black and purple. Her legs dissolved, taken. The blackness eventually took all of her slowly, painfully. When she was gone she was in a space of white, a figure in front of her.

She sobbed."I just wanted a bond with someone. No one wanted to know the girl with useless legs. I found a book that told me how to get my legs back. I didn't think, I acted." The figure smiled.

"Have a bond with me then, precious girl. play with me, talk with me, watch with me. the world is my plaything, will you be my partner?" the figure had a voice of everyone, every single voice was there, melded into one voice, echoing around her.

"Yes sir. You have offered and I accept. may I sing for you every one in a while? singing was my greatest joy and my greatest sadness. I had no one to give my voice to. though you voice is everything, and compared to it mine is nothing."

"Then let your name be Nothing. And you may call me everything. I shall have to remember that name. it is one of the better ones."

And so the bargain was set. They talked and they played and they watched. and when the fancy took Nothing she sang for everything. Everything gave her ears and a tail, taught her how to play piano and helped her walk. he gave flowers of stone and cloth and the time flew.

Nothing, as she forgot her true name, was content. She learned that everything loved breaking bonds, for he believed that the only bond should be with him. and he killed one baby as it was born. The woman knew alchemy, what Nothing knew to be what she used. the woman came in front of them, and Nothing stepped back. she was not the master, Everything was. She now worshiped him. She would do whatever he wanted, sing when he wanted, anything but kill. She had developed his hatred of bonds with everyone but him for a different reason. she had never had a bond with anyone but him and if she hadn't, why did others. When his judgment was done, the doors of the great stone gates opened behind her. Black hands reached, and grabbed the forlorn woman. Everything turned to Nothing.

"Ah my precious neko, the bond shall soon be formed, and then visibly broken. You shall aid me in my destruction of the biggest bond yet to come, will you not? I shall have to send you through the gate, but you are still my precious little Nothing-Neko. Never forget your bond with me."

Nothing nodded.

Years passed, and eventually the bond was formed. An unbreakable bond formed of blood and alchemy. Nothing was not allowed to speak to the boys, and the boys were not allowed to glimpse her. Eventually the time came that she was to leave the void.

"Your voice is mine, and so you will only say what I allow you. you must hate me so I alter you memories of me, and I shall take what you originally gave to me, your legs. The bonded are coming soon to the place that you shall go to. Goodbye, my dearest Nothing-Neko."

The black hands took her, and her mind filled with alchemical knowledge. Eventually the knowledge was too much, and she blacked out. When she came to, she was bleeding. Her legs were stumps, two inches below the waist. That was all she noticed before she blacked out again.

A/N I am in despair. My best friend just told me that FMA is not real. I refuse to believe her. I would write more but I have no idea how to get from one inspiration to the next. those who are reading I'll come back, the next chapter will be back soon.

Reviews favourites and alerts make me update faster. as always, looking for a beta reader. Flames will be read as I eat marshmallows. Harry potter coming later. thinking of a sequel with soul eater!
