Author's Notes: There will be Royai shortly. I felt the need to do this fic just because, my head needs explanations to things when things aren't given. So it starts here and and end somewhere. But for the most part it's pretty much Riza-centric. Mostly cause she had those innocent eyes at the time of her father's funeral til Ishbal when her eyes harden. Big time. So I wanted to kinda writed about that.

This fic takes place in the mangaverse for the most part, and there are some quotes reoccuring in here. At times. This one as well as the one after takes place where the other one left off after Riza Hawkeye's mother's funeral. Which is never in the manga. We just know she died when she was young.

Chapter 1 - Arguements

She rested against the cherry blossom tree as she drifted her hand along the current of the river, wishing she could travel where the water was going. At this point she just wanted to be anywhere then where she was right now. Her face remained moist from the tears she cried from earlier that afternoon. Her eyes drifted to the two men arguing at her home.

"Get the hell out of my house, I do not have to listen you tell me how to raise my daughter," A man slammed the door against the wall as an older man walked out, as he placed his military cap on. The younger man leaned against door as he bitterly spitted out, "She will be fine without your help, Grumman."

General Grumman stop and turned facing him as he spat out, "Just like you treated Isabella."

"Leave Isabella out of this," The man yelled slamming his open palm against the door.

"It's the reason why we are all here, Isn't it Hawkeye," Grumman looked him, as he stood facing the interior of the house, "If you had got her the necessary treatment, or at least taken her to the city."

"You stayed in that study of yours, and you let her die," Grumman's head was facing the mahogany boards of the floor below, "Isolating her and Riza."

Hawkeye's eyes narrowed as he looked his father-in-law, whose eyes's remained toward the ground, fist tighten as Hawkeye spoke defensively, "You're making accusations that you know nothing about!"

"No, you still don't know a damn thing. All that research, never using any of it," Grumman's head snapped up now looking at Hawkeye, His voice stern and firm as if he was giving once of his subordinates a command, "Just do something with it. Join the military, become a state alchemist. Use it to protect the people of this country! Anything! Just. Don't. Do. Nothing!"

Grumman unclenched his fist, his knuckles white as he relaxed them, straightening up his suit and coat. Before stepping off the porch he said, "At least then I would know my daughter's death wasn't in vain."

Hawkeye's eyes follow Grumman who was walking toward his daughter as he remained leaning against the door taking his right hand off the door to keep himself from snapping at the older man and setting him into crimson flames. "Protect the people, I'm tired of listening to those second hand opinions."

Time goes so fast, Heaven is lost.

Author's Notes:

My opinion on Grumman and Hawkeye-sensei

Something must have happen most likely when Hawkeye-sensei was courting Grumman's daughter to keep them all isolated from Grumman when the two got married. Especially with Hawkeye-sensei feeling of the military. Which he happily express to Roy before cough some great ooze of red. I don't really see this man not going to his own daughter funeral. So arguement ensues, creating this portion of this really small chapter... trust me I'm a little bother that it's short.

If anyone cares since there is no name to Riza's mother. I had to wing it and give her one. Her name I made up is

Isabella Marie (Grumman) Hawkeye.

I'll give more information on part of (my thoughts) on the Grumman/Hawkeye family history as the story continues on.

Anyways thanks for reading.
