Ok well, let's start off with who you are! Your name is Manami Kami, your Parents died when you were 2, (The description of their death comes later in the other stories), you lived in an orphanage until you were 4, got adopted, and then your step parents left you at the age of 5, (Tough life, I know) and then, you hear about the Elric Brothers around town, and with them as your idols, you practice your rare wind alchemy for self defense, and use basic alchemy as the only way to eat and bathe. Now let's get crackin! (By the way, this is an ALPHONSE ELRIC love story, so if you're a Ed fangirl, i suggest you leave. ..)
This story begins with two Brothers named Edward and Alphonse Elric. The two brothers had a wonderful life with their mother and father. But one day, Ed and Als father left their mother alone and to be never to be seen again. But their father left at the worst time because their mother was sick and now was a single mom with two young boys to take care of. As they got older, Ed and Al got better and better at a magic that has been passed down for many generations, Alchemy. Eventually, their mother died, and the two brothers were on their own. Using Alchemy, Ed and Al made a plan to try and bring their mother back from the dead. What they were doing was breaking the biggest rule in Alchemy, but they thought they had nothing else to lose... But they were wrong The plan was beginning to work, but then the rule of Equivalent Exchange got in the way and "The Gate" appeared and grabbed Al and began to pull him inside. Ed tried pull him away, but he was too late. When it was all over, the two brothers were not themselves anymore, Ed lost his arm, and sacraficed his leg to bring Al's soul back to a suit of armor. Ed then got Auto-Mail from their friend, Winry on Eds missing limbs. And from then on, the two brothers searched for something to get their limbs and bodies back to the way they used to be. That something was called the Philosophers Stone.
Farther Away, there was a 10 year old girl named Manami, (You) who studied Alchemy ever since she was 5, and Dreamed of knowing everything there was to know about Alchemy. She was actually the first to create "Wind" Alchemy, which was basically transmuting the air, using two fans, and making the wind move at whatever pace and direction she wanted it to. She could even fly using wind alchemy. But one day, she would meet the two people who would help her do that as she helped them with their destiny, Edward and Alphonse Elric, at their ages of 11 and 12.
(Al's Part)
When you and Ed arrived in town, and after looking around a little bit, you spotted a girl, waving around two fans toward a tree. You looked over to your brother, and he nodded, saying to check it out. You walked behind her as she continued to wave her fans at the tree.
"WIND BLADE!" She yelled, but nothing happened.
She sighed sadly.
"Hey, Um, what are you doing?" Ed asked as he stared at the girls work.
The girl did'nt turn back.
"I'm just practicing alchemy..." The girl said, with nervousness in her voice.
"You must work really hard on Alchemy." you said.
"We do Alchemy too!" Ed said with a smile.
After hearing these words, The girl paused without moving and then slowly turned around.
(Your Part)
"A-A-Are you The Elric Brothers?" you asked.
"Yeah, why do you ask?" The blonde haired boy asked with a confused face.
You seemed speechless.
"YOU TWO ARE MY IDOLS!" you said with excitement.
"Eh...?" Ed questioned, with an eye twitching.
"I hear about you guys all the time in town! Oh, and by the way, my name is Manami." you said with a smile holding out your hand to shake with him and the suit of armor.
They both took your hand and shook it.
Later on, you brought the Elric brothers to your home.
"Where are your parents?" the suit of armor, known as Al asked.
You paused.
"They arent here... I live alone." You replied shortly.
"Oh... Manami, I'm sorry." Al said in a guilty voice.
"No, No, It's ok, No problem!" You said quickly.
"Here, let me show you your room." You added as you walk toward a certain room.
When you showed Ed and Al their room, you said, "Well if you guys are supposed to get up early, I suggest you go to sleep now... Well, at least I am.." with a little chuckle.
"Well goodnight." You added as you started to walk out the door.
"Goodnight." The brothers said at the same time before you were completely out of the room.
(Al's Part)
Later on, as you and Ed layed there, you were both thinking of something.
Ed was thinking on what to do next, and you're thinking about Manami.
"Brother, I cant sleep. I think I made Manami really upset." You said as you sat up in your bed.
"She said she was ok.." Ed said as he sat up as well.
"We have no parents either, Al, you know we have to be strong." Ed added.
"We need to sleep. Well talk about it tomorrow kay?" Ed said as he laid back down and rolled over.
"Ok.." You said as you layed back down as well.
(Ed's Part) (O.o?)
The next morning, you awoke smelling a wonderful smell.
As you walked into the kitchen, Al was sitting in a nearby chair and Manami had already made breakfast for you.
"Oh, good morning. I made breakfast." Manami said as she guided you to the table.
After you ate and complimented Manami on her food, Al mentioned that you and him had to leave.
As soon as you and Al were getting ready to walk out the door, Manami quickly blurted out.
"Wait... Can I join you?"
You looked at Al, who seemed excited, even under his armor.
"Sure... But you have to be aware... We fight alot, and you gotta take care of yourself."
"You have nothing to worry about. I can take care of myself! Lets go!" Manami said cheerfully as she walked up to you and Al carrying those two blue fans.
(Your Part)
When you all arrived at the next destination, you were really happy to see a new town other than your own.
"Wow, this place is much better than home." You said as you stare all over the city in awe.
"Heh, better get used to it, we are gonna do this a lot.." Ed said as he put his arms behind his head.
You smiled, happy at what Ed said.
All of a sudden, there was an explosion. Ed, Al, and you ran to it. When you got to where the explosion was, there was a man with green, spikey hair, practically wearing a miniskirt, a woman with extended nails, and a short and fat man, devouring a townsperson.
"What the Hell are you doing here!?" Ed yelled at the 3 monsters.
"You should know already..." The woman said calmly.
"Looks like you got a new friend. Heh, Heh, shell be a nice meal!" said the fat man, licking his lips.
After hearing what he said, you growled and took a step back, grabbing hold of the fans in your jacket pockets.
"Al, who are those people!?" you asked.
"Do you think you can fight them..?" Al said looking back at you.
You smirked.
"HELL YEAH!" as you took out your fans with grace.
"Awwww, how sweet... Too bad YOU'RE GETTING READY TO DIE!"
the green haired guy yelled as he charged an attack towards you.
You, who was standing in your battle stance, was getting ready to attack back, but Al stood in front of you, apparantley nervous that you would get hurt, and blocked Envys attack.
"LEAVE HER ALONE!!" He yelled, as his block sent Envy backwards.
You gazed at Al's defense in amazement, until you felt a tight grasp around your wrists.
You looked back to see the woman, smirking at you. She twisted your wrists until you heard the bones crack. She just broke your wrists.
You screamed in pain.
"MANAMI!" You heard Al scream.
"We'll deal with you last!" She yelled as she chopped the back of your neck. (Like that karate chop thing behind your neck to knock you out)
You felt your eyes getting heavy, and you felt like you were falling into everlasting darkness. You stood as long as you could, but you finally gave in and fell to the ground, seeing Ed fighting the fat man, and Al fighting the green haired man. The last thing you hears was Al, calling your name again, before you fell and layed there unconscious.
(Al's Part)
"MANAMI!!" You screamed as you saw Manami fall down to the ground, unconsious.
You ran to her side, and held her up.
"Manami! MANAMI! Wake up!" You screamed as you shook her but she did'nt even move.
"Al! Take Manami to safety! Ill take care of them!" Ed said as he was getting ready to attack Lust.
"But... Brother... What about you?" You asked.
"JUST GO AL!!! ILL BE FINE!! NOW HURRY UP AND GO!!" Ed screamed at you.
"Be safe brother..." You said as you ran off with Manami, carrying her bridal style in your arms.
"Please be alright..." You thought.
(Your Dream)
Al: -Running towards you- Manami!
You: Rubs eyes Al?
Al: -Hugs you tightly- Manami! Im so sorry! I wasnt there for you!
You: Its not your fault!
Al: And now youre leaving me! -Hugs tighter-
You: Leaving? Where am I going?
Al: Manami! I'm sorry! Dont Leave!
You: I said I'm not going anywhere!
-You both of you begin to separate-
Al: Manami! MAAAAANAAAAAMIIII!!!
(Back to Real Life) (Your Part)
You slowly open your eyes and you see a very blurry Al shaking you and calling your name like in your dream.
"A-A-Al? Is that you?" you say weakily, and then you try to get up but Al pushes you back down, but gently.
"You need to rest. Thank goodness you're ok. I'm so sorry, I was'nt there for you" Al said as he looked at the ground.
"Its ok, its not your fault." You say with a weak smile.
"YES IT WAS! I SHOULD OF PROTECTED YOU!" Al snapped.
Your eyes widened, due to Al's yelling.
Al froze for a second, and then turned the other way.
"I'm sorry Manami. I'm really, really sorry." Al said looking down again.
"Um, its ok.." You reply, still a little scared.
"But, where am I?" you asked.
"You're at the hospital, you got beat up pretty bad." Ed's voice said, as he soon walked into the room.
"Brother..." Al said.
"Looks like you're finally up, how'd you sleep?" Ed asked as he sat in a chair.
"I slept... Pretty well" you said as you remembered your dream.
Then, you notice a cast on Ed's left arm.
"Ed, you're hurt..." you said as you look at the cast.
"Heh, this is nothing, I get hurt all he time Right Al?" Ed asked with a smile.
"He really does." Al said with a chuckle as he sat down in the chair next and closest to you.
"But this is what I meant by fighting alot." Ed said, changing the subject.
"Speaking of fighting, who were those people?" you asked.
"They're monsters, known as Homonculi. There are really 7, but you saw three of them. The fat one was Gluttony, the green-haired one was...Envy." Ed said, wincing at Envy's name.
"He must really hate him..." You thought.
"...And the woman was Lust." Ed finished.
"I see." You said.
"But the thing that matters is that everyone's ok. Right brother?" Al asked.
"Yep." Ed said.
"Wow, no one has ever been this nice to me. Thank you all." you said, smiling sweetly.
As you and Ed healed, you practiced your Fighting and Alchemy more, knowing that you would have to fight again sometime, and you wanted to be ready.
Also, you didnt want Al or Ed mad at themselves for your injuries. Much less, you didnt want any injuries at all.
As time passed, you trained with Al and grew more fond of him, as Al grew more fond of you. Ed figured that this would happen. Thats one reason why he let you in the group in the first place, to make Al happy, and also, so the group will have some more defense.. Somewhat.
One night, Ed had to call someone, Ed called him "Mustang", and left Al and you alone.
You were all sleeping outside that night as well.
Al and you went to a hill and sat down there was a full moon, and a pretty lake, reflecting it's beauty nearby.
You watched it, deep in thought..
"Ummm, Manami?" Al asked, interupting your thoughts.
"Hm..? What is it?" You replied, as you swithced your glance to Al.
"Would you.. Love someone.. Even if they did'nt look human?" Al asked as he looked at the full moon.
You looked at it as well.
"It depends if they have a good personality." You started, and then looked down to the water.
"Looks dont matter to me.. Just whats inside." you added as you somewhat blushed.
You were both silent for a minute, until you looked back at Al. His armor shined in the moonlight, and for some reason, you felt different about him.
"Why do you ask?" you finally asked.
Al looked at you for a couple seconds.
"Uhhh.. No reason!!" Al quickly said as he looked the other way.
You chuckled at his reaction, and looked at the moon again
"The moon is pretty tonight." You said.
Al looked at it as well.
"Yeah, it is.." Al said as he was getting ready to scoot closer to you.
All of a sudden, Ed's voice startled the both of you.
"So, look what we got here..." with a chuckle.
"WHATS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN!?" You yelled at Ed, now standing up and facing him, with a face as red as a tomato.
Ed laughed.
"It's a joke, chill out." Ed said, and sat down where you were sitting earlier.
You just stood there in the same position, still looking the way Ed used to be.
You thinking about what Al and you were doing, and what you would of done if Ed didnt return when he did.
"Hey, Manami, you alive over there?" Ed asked, looking at you. .
You broke out of your thought, and quickly looked back at Ed, with your blush soon fading.
"Huh...? Oh, Im fine." you said.
"We should head back and get to bed." you added as you started to walk back to camp.
The next day, you and the 2 boys traveled to a new town. You rented an old house for a couple nights, just to relax..
Ed decided to take a stroll, and left you and Al alone.
"Want to go outside?" you asked Al shyly.
"Sure." Al said as he opened the door for you.
You and Al walked to a hill and sat down under a tree. You stared at the moon again.
"Al, if I'm not asking too much... How does it feel to be a suit of armor?" you asked Al, already knowing that there was'nt a body inside.
"Huh? How did you know!?" Al asked, seeming quite surprised.
"Ed told me." You said.
"Oh.." Al said, looking at the full moon.
"Well, to answer your question... I just want to fit in with people.. But I cant because Im stuck in this suit of armor.. But brother sacraficed a limb for me, just to keep me here, so I have to be grateful for that." Al said as he looked away.
You felt guilty.
"How would you feel If... I tried to bring you back? I mean to your original human form?" You asked blushing a little bit, but still looking at the moon.
All of a sudden, Al quickly hugged you tightly.
"That would be the best thing that would of ever happened to me.." Al said as he kept hugging you.
You realized how Al was so desperate.. You felt so bad for him, and the only thing you could do was to hug him back and then whispered.
"I Promise... I'll bring you back."
You closed your eyes. This new feeling came over you. You felt so safe in his arms.
Al pulled away, and started reaching near his thigh.
"Here, I've had this for a while.. And I think you should have it." he said.
Then, Al handed you a beautiful Heart Locket.
"Al, its beautiful, But are you sure you want to give it to me?" you asked.
"Yeah, I know you'll take good care of it." Al replied.
"Ok, if you say so." you said as you smiled at him and put on the locket.
It was perfect...
The next couple of days, you and the boys didnt get any information about the Philosophers Stone, so you thought on traveling on to a new destination, but Ed suggested to go to their original home and show you around.
But there was a little surprise on thier way to the Train station.
This time, a different villan was there, killing innocent people, but it turned out that he was just looking for Ed.
As soon as the man spotted Ed, he said "There you are.." with an evil smirk on his face.
"Scar!?" Ed exclaimed.
"Ok, so his name is Scar.." You thought.
Ed was the first to attack Scar, but Scar easily ripped off his auto-mail arm and threw him across the field behind you and Al.
Your eyes widened with fear. That was so quick!
Then, Scar ran to attack Al.
"AL! GET OUTTA THE WAY!" Ed screamed, trying to get up without his right arm.
Al was frozen with fear, and Scar was just about to attack, but you could'nt just stand there and let him attack Al.
So, you ran between them and took Als beating.
You almost went unconscious, but you managed to stay awake. You were very hurt though.
"MANAMI!" Al yelled as he ran for you, but Scar punched him hard in the chest and flew him in the air and landed with a hard fall.
"AL!!" you screamed as you managed crawl to where Al was.
Scar soon ran away.
You shook Al screamed, "AL! AL! WAKE UP! PLEASE WAKE UP!".
Your eyes filled with tears, you hugged Al. , "Why did this have to happen!? Al! Dont leave me!" as you covered your face near his face.
You soon felt your eyes getting heavy, and you fell unconsious, probably because you were screaming so loudly.
You slowly awoke in a hospital bed seeing Ed staring at you.
Kind of shocked, you widened your eyes and sat up.
"How many times am I going to have to go to the hospital?" You asked with a little laugh.
"As many times as you get hurt." Ed replied with a chuckle.
"Wait... Wheres Al!?" you asked, now realizing what happened with Scar.
"He's outside getting used to his new body. Thanks to you." Ed said.
"Huh? New body...?" You asked, seeing at a cast on your arm.
"I'll call him in." Ed said.
"But hey, you never told me what you meant by 'new body'!" You said.
"You'll see soon enough." Ed said, as a figure walked into the room.
It was a boy. He had golden brown hair, up in a ponytail.
The brown-haired boy looked over to you.
"Remember me?" The boy asked.
Wait... That was Al's voice!
CHAPTER 2 COMIN UP!
