Lost Memories
A Full Metal Achemist Story
One: Flashbacks
"No, I'm not going to let your dad take you away from here!" Edward Elric stood in tears by the old oak tree just down the road from his house. He was only 11 years old but that never seemed to matter to him. In front of him stood a young girl, her hair as dark as the night sky and eyes that shined like the midnight stars. Her name was Kiya, and she was the love Edward did not want to lose. "I have no choice! You know my how my father is." Both kids stood there crying as the sun was setting. Edward ran and hugged her tightly, he was trying so hard not to let her go, he needed her. "Take this,"--Kiya took off her most prized necklace. She had once told Edward it was all she had left of her mother before she was killed. "As long as you wear this necklace, my heart will be with you. Please don't lose it Edward Elric." Edward began to cry more and held on to his love. "No Kiya! You can't leave me!" Somehow she had broke free from his grasp and was now floating away, Edward chased after her, but she was gone.
Edward awoke with a gasp. He looked around him, he was back in his 15 year old body. It was all a dream, he thought to himself. As he laid back on his pillow memories of Kiya wandered throughout his mind. Is she alive? "Where are you Kiya?" he asked out loud. "Brother, are you dreaming of Kiya again?" Alphonse, Edwards 14 year old brother who had been transmutted into a suit of armor after trying to transmute their mother from the grave, asked as soon as Edward said Kiya. "Of course not, I don't even remember her that well." Edward lied, and Alphonse knew this all to well. "Maybe we'll see her soon brother." Edwards heart raced, how he wish that would be the truth. "Go to sleep Al." And with that, Edward rolled to his side and tried to sleep, but he could only think of the girl from 3 years ago. He missed her terribly.
The next morning Edward and Alphonse headed off to Central to see Roy Mustang, their captian. When they walked into his office, Edward knew something was up. "So Corniel, why the visit?" Edward didn't really like Mustang, he liked to make fun of him because he was short and was always getting into trouble. "Boys, I have been asked to assign you an additional partner, she is new and your age Alphonse. I hope you two can treat her kindly." Wait wait wait, "Why do we need a new partner? Al and I work ALONE!" Edward was furious. Mustang let out a sigh and answered the best he could, "Look it wasn't my call, I know you two are dangerous, but it was orders and I have no say in it. No one else can take her because she is so young. So deal with it boys." Edward pouted, he had no choice. "Fine whatever, we'll take the girl, now what's her name?" Roy smiled "I knew you two would agree, her state name is 'The Elements Alchemist' all the alchemey she does involes the four elements, water, air, earth, and fire. She can even do them without a transmutaion circle just like you Ed." Edward knew what that meant, this new alchemist tried a human transmutaion. "You still didn't answer my question, what is her name?" Roy smirked at the young boy and finally answered him. "Her name is Kiya, Kiya Rinston." Edward felt his heart stop at that moment as Alphonse let out a loud gasp and looked at his in shock brother.
