I glanced at the rain that fell down in front of me, 'I hate the rain but if I go in my human form I'll get more soaked!' I said.
I heard clangs of metal hitting the ground; I saw a seven foot tall armor suit run over to me. "Are you alright?" he asked, looking at me.
"Mew" I said.
"Here, hop in. It shouldn't be too wet. Just make sure your quiet so my brother doesn't hear" the armor said, as he opened the front part of the armor.
It was empty… What kind of suit is empty but there is a voice? I mean… I could believe it since I'm a chimera myself.
I blinked at him and then hoped inside, as he then closed it behind me. "Oh and watch out for the seal up there" the voice echoed threw the armor.
I winced at the noise, but then I looked up to see a seal in blood.
'A soul attachment eh?' I thought. But he was right; it was at least not-wet in here. And who did he mean by brother?
As the armor started moving, I had to practically hold on for dear life, I wasn't ready for the sudden movement.
"Al what were you doing?" a voice asked.
"Nothing brother I spotted a restaurant we could stop at later" the armor spoke.
'His name is Al? Must be short for his name' I thought.
His voice is really loud, but it's alright.
"Oh alright. I just hope it's not another cat" the voice said.
'What he hates cats or something?' I thought.
I felt the armor shift a little at the word cat, but nothing fazed him. After more walking the foot steps stopped,
"Fullmetal Your soaked" a new voice said, his voice was kind of sarcastic.
"It's raining cats and dogs Colonel" the voice from before said.
"I could see it" the 'Colonel' said, with the sarcastic tone.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SMALL?" the voice yelled.
"Jeez Ed calm down, I was just testing you" Colonel said.
'So now I know the name of the person before' I thought.
"Brother please stay calm" the armor said.
"Tch!" Ed said.
I felt the armor sit down, which made me twitch. 'I like the small warmth I can feel… but him moving around is a lot!' I thought.
"So what can I do you for Fullmetal" Colonel said.
"I can in to report that's all" Ed said.
I couldn't hold it in any longer; I mellowed out a small meow. I felt the armor freeze, "Al?" Ed asked.
"Yes brother?" Al asked.
"Did your stomach just meow?" Ed asked.
"Yes! I mean no! Brother I…" Al started.
"Give Al and I a minute Colonel" Ed said, as Al got up.
"Take your time" Colonel said.
Al started walking again hearing a door shut and then feeling the armor stop in mid walk.
"Open up Al" Ed said.
"Yes Brother" Al said, as he then unlatched the armor.
When it opened I've seen the famous 'Brother' of this armor. "Mew?" I asked, tilting my head.
"I couldn't leave her out in the rain brother" Al said.
Ed held out his hand to probably pick me up or something. His hand stopped in front of my face, I looked at his own face. In his eyes I could tell he had a liking for cats, but his words from before… I then sniffed his hand, and then nudged my head to his hand for a pet. He petted me on the head and behind the ears, ohhhh~ the best petting I've got in forever.
"We can't keep her Al" Ed said, he had a painful look in his eyes.
"I know brother. Can we keep her until the rain lets up at least?" Al asked.
"I don't see why not. But once it stops raining she'll have to go Al" Ed said.
"Mew~" I purred.
"She likes you brother" Al said, I could feel him smiling.
Ed sighed, "Hopefully she doesn't get to attached" Ed said.
"Mew~" I said, quite happily.
I was happy to get somewhere nice to stay until the rain let up. Finding my own food would be a pain. Ohhh free pets too~ the life!
Ed patted me on the head once more, before picking me up out of Al's armor.
"Jeez Al you always seem to find all the cats" Ed said, as he cradled me in his arms.
"You used to be able to before brother" Al said.
"But we can't take care of one" Ed said.
"Brother you should probably go get out of those cloths so you don't catch a cold" Al said.
"Eh? You're right. Sorry about the wet fur little one" Ed said, then placing me back in Al's armor.
"Mew" I said.
'It's no problem it was only a little bit, when they get to their room I need to find a place I can really stretch been outside for three days in this form' I thought.
"Be careful in there okay?" Al said, and then closed the armor's hatch.
I felt the armor start moving, "Jeez Al you put me in the spot now" Ed said.
"Sorry Brother. But the rain should let up soon" Al said.
'I don't think so. My fur's all itchy saying the rains going to last a few more days' I thought.
After a while of hanging on, I heard a door creak open and then shut behind me. The hatch was opened once more, letting me see around the room. Just a casual room with two beds.
"Go ahead and look around" Al said.
I nodded and then jumped out of his armor, and hoping on one of the closest beds laying down.
"Here's your rules kitty! No leaving this room unless Al lets you in his armor. We'll bring you something to eat, since I'm hungry already" Ed said, as I then looked at him.
He was undressing himself from the wet cloths, I quickly turned back around. Thank god that you can't see cat's blush or anything. But I noticed something shiny as he was pulling off his shirt. I dare to not look back; I mean boys got to have their privacy; even if I was a cat I didn't need to see anything.
I felt him sit down next to me, which made me look at him. He had a new dry clean shirt on, and I saw that his gloves weren't on. I noticed his right hand was auto-mail. Fullmetal! I remember that name now, Edward Elric the youngest state alchemist in history! Tons of rumors, I've heard. So this was the kid. He was short as the rumors said.
I got up and walked over to him and nudged my hand on his right hand.
"Eh? Oh you're worried huh? I lost my arm, so I got it replaced with auto-mail. Same with my left leg" Ed said, picking me up and placing me in his lap.
Petting me with his human hand, his arm and leg where lost? Did Al lose his body too? I defiantly was curious. Well they did say curiosity killed the cat, was I going to be that cat?
