Chapter one: A new beginning

Roy Mustang briskly walked into the room in which Ed and Al, the Elric brothers, were sitting, "It took you long enough General," Ed commented as he walked in.

"Ed, Al you're in to much danger with Scar running around and I won't stand for you two just to run off when you feel it necessary. So I've decided to assign you two a…well…for lack of better description a baby sitter." Roy said ignoring Ed's last comment.

"A baby sitter!" Ed spat out in surprise.

"Yes, since you two lack the capability to make the right decisions on your own we decided to get you two some one to do such things for you. Like I said a baby sitter."

"You've got to be kidding!" Ed yelled madder than hell.

"I wish I was I really do because if I were "kidding" our government wouldn't be paying two million dollars a day for a state alchemist your age just to baby sit you two. As you can tell I am highly disappointed in you two. Especially you Ed you are the "older brother" after all"

"Don't act like my father general because mine walked out on me and my family a long time ago. But any who we snuck out for a good reason, we needed to morn our dead mother and by having Mr. Armstrong along with us it made it hard to do any thing with out him breaking down crying or trying to hug us. So you'll have to excuse our rudeness and our carelessness but we did the wrong thing for all the right reasons." Ed said all in one breathe.

"I'm sorry Al not this time, this time you two will pay for your actions because this time the president orders it to be done."

"Fine then do what you will, but the least you could do is give me his profile and background check before his arrival."

"Well actually "he" is a girl and I suppose you could look them over a few minuets before meeting her."

"A…girl?" Al asked a little surprised at the idea of a girl watching over them.

"But of course the best in alchemy." The general answered as he handed Ed and Al each a copy of her background and profile. The two surprised teens looked the papers over. The papers held three pictures they were all of a young girl who looked about thirteen she had long white hair and blue eyes she was shorter than Ed and was warring a red kimono and traditional red pants. On the red kimono there was a sign, the same sign that Ed wares on his red jacket, the sign of eternal damnation. Surprisingly there were also some medical records which described her health state though they said nothing of auto mail Ed was a little suspicious. In all her pictures her facial expressions were the same one of no smile what so ever. For some reason the papers didn't state her name and that as well was odd to the young teens. After fully looking the papers over the general brought the young girl in. She looked just like the girl in the pictures but prettier her hair glowed a radiant white and her deep blue eyes were filled with sorrow.

"Hi I'm Kiona." Kiona said loudly.

"Kiona this is Ed and Al." The general said pointing at each one as he said there name. Ed stood up and looked down at her.

"Hey look she's shorter than me!" Ed said happily to his brother. Kiona on the other hand wasn't so happy she reach up punched him in the face, "OUCH!" Ed yelled.

"DON'T CALL ME SHORT YOU PIPSQUEAK!" Kiona yelled.

"HALF PINT!" Ed yelled back.

"SHORT MBACILE!"

"TINY!"

"SADISTIC BRAT!"

"LITTLE LOSER!"

"FREAK OF NATURE!"

"GET A LIFE!" They both yelled as they walked away.

"General I can't work with that!" She said while pointing at Ed who was now sitting down.

"Well you're going to have to because you've already taken the job."

"I rather go to hell than work with that!" Kiona yelled at the general.

"Well if I remember right your already eternally damned to hell any way so any other last request?" The general said.

"No." Kiona said bitterly.

"Fine then Kiona, get to your post." And with that said Kiona, Ed, and Al walked out the door.

"Judging by my first impression I hate you guys." Kiona said as she walked on.

"Don't worry Kiona we hate you to." Ed said happily.

"Pipe down pipsqueak." Kiona said getting agitated.

"Ok we have to lay down some ground rules for one no using words that relate to the word or meaning small do we have an understanding?" Al said getting a little annoyed at the small thing.

"Yes!" They both said in unison.

"Good then lets go back to are room and figure out the meaning about those "Recipes"" Al said to Ed.

"Yes the recipes." Ed said back.

"What are you two talking about?" Kiona asked a little lost in the conversation.

"Uh…well the project were working on of course." Ed said as they walked to there room. When they got there it was a mess there were papers scattered every ware and a glass tea cup was broken into pieces across the floor. Three plates of food was sitting on the table ready and waiting for them.

"Great not only am I partnered up with a sadistic brat I also live with two pigs." Kiona said unhappily.

"Don't blame us your the one who took the job." Al said as he started to pick up the stray papers that lay on the floor.

"So Kiona what's with the no name thing on your profile?" Ed asked. Kiona shuddered at the thought of her past.

"Um…I…" She stuttered as her muscles tensed and her eyes turned gray.

"I really don't have a name." She finished.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean what I said; my real name and identity are unknown. I just woke up in some cruddy hospital with no recognition of who I am. The hospital tried to look my picture up for medical reports but nothing was found. The only name I could remember was Ed Elric the full metal alchemist and the phrase dog of the military. I have no clue why I know you or how but I figure being close to you will help remember my life. That's why I took the job. And I still have no clue how I lost my arm" Kiona finished her muscles still tight.

"You lost yourarm?"

"Yes I have auto mail."

"So do I!" Ed said taking off his glove to show the metal of the auto mail. Kiona showed her arm out of the sleeve of the kimono.

"Wow!" They both said in unison.

And that's the first chapter it only tells half of the full story about Kiona's sad life since she doesn't yet remember the rest when she sees Scar she will remember all. And she will avenge her self. You will then know why she remembered Ed the full metal alchemist. See you next time on Full metal alchemist.
