Summary: Ed and Al come across a strange girl with powers that are unlike an alchemist. She holds a deadly past, which she is trying to escape. Can Ed and Al help her before it's too late?

A young girl walks into central and looks around the town curiously, searching the faces of people that walk by her. Her hair blew in the light breeze and she brushed the strands in her face behind her ears. She wore a dark blue tank top and black pants with her boots. She had a black jacket wrapped around her waist. A scar can be seen on the left side of her back. The girl crossed her arms across her chest as she walked past buildings and people. Her stomach grumbled which made her realize how hungry she was but she had no money for food. She shrugged the noise off and kept walking.

Ed lifted his head from the ground as he looked up the young girl walking toward the library caught his eye. Seeing as he had nothing else better to do as of yet he decided to follow the newcomer, never having seen her around before. Without saying anything, Ed silently walked off. Al looked over at his brother with confusion and quickly followed him.

"Brother, where are you going?" Al asked

"Wait here Al" Ed replied, continuing to walk "I just need to check something. I won't be long"

Ed made his way to the library. Walking in he looked around the place and saw her take book and walk towards one of the corners in the back. Ed slowly made his way over to her. As Ed sat down across from her, he noticed the book she was reading was just about basic alchemy. He only looked at her, studying her wondering why he sensed something different about her. She looked from her book from time to time taking glances of him. He had a red coat on and his blonde hair was tied back. His eyes were golden colored. Of course, she soon grew tired of his incessant staring and not saying a single word.

"Take a picture it'll last longer" she said and returned her attention back to her book.

"Sorry, name's Edward Elric maybe you've heard of me? The full metal alchemist." Ed said, "You're reading about basic alchemy"

"Saiki, I have heard of you and bragging gets you no where. And no, I'm reading how to teach pigs to dance…besides it's just to pass time until my train comes" Saiki replied sarcastically

"Hey I'm just trying to make "friendly" conversation" Ed replied with a glare.

"I don't want a friend nor do I need any" the girl replied slamming the book down on the table and somehow it burst into flames. Ed got up from his chair, his eyes wide. She quickly put the fire out before the book got to damaged, slightly burning her hand in the process.

"Dammit!" she yelled.

"What the hell was that?" Ed asked but received no answer.

"Now how do I pay for this when I don't even have enough money for food" Saiki mumbled to herself holding the slightly crisped book. Ed walked over to her and took the book from her placing it on the table. He clapped his hands and then touched the book. Returning it back to its original form.

"You were saying?" Ed said.

"Bragging gets you no where…but thanks" she replied and went to put the book back. Saiki walked back ignoring the stinging in her hand as she walked back. She intended to walk past Ed when he grabbed her arm.

"You should get that bandaged, so it doesn't get any worse," he said.

Saiki glared at him noting that he was a foot taller than her.

"I'll be fine" she replied coldly and brushed past him wincing as her hand accidentally hit his arm.

"Really?" he asked knowing that she had hit his automail arm. She only kept walking towards the exit. Ed jogged to catch up to her as she walked outside.

Al stood up as he saw his brother come out of the library and walking beside a girl. He ran to catch up to them.

"Brother?" Al asked stopping in front of them. Saiki glared at both of them.

"If you'll excuse me" she said and walked in the direction of the train.

"What happened?" Al asked as he watched the strange girl walk away.

"I'm not quite sure how she did it but she caught a book on fire and burned herself but refuses to get it bandaged. Stubborn girl…" Ed replied glaring and crossing his arms. Al went to catch up to the girl.

"Al! Just let her go" Ed yelled.

"She needs medical attention" Al replied.

Al caught to her and tapped her on the shoulder and hoped that his appearance wouldn't freak her out. She turned towards him with an annoyed expression on her face.

"Now what?" she yelled angrily.

"Please won't you consider getting your hand taken care of?" Al asked as kindly as he could.

"How do you suppose I pay for it? With rocks?" she replied, "I don't exactly have any money, not even to buy food!"

By this time Ed had decided to join the two.

"We could pay for you couldn't we brother?" Al asked Ed as he arrived.

"Fine" he said but still held a glare towards Saiki.

Saiki crossed her arms and stared at the two before sighing dropping her arms to her side and was about to give in when the train sounded to leave.

'Saved by the bell!' Saiki thought.

"That's my train and I'd rather not miss it" Saiki said.

"Let us come with you" Al said.

"You're kidding right" she asked they didn't realize the danger they'd be in if they accompanied her.

"Just to get your hand bandaged and not to mention you look like you could use some food" Ed replied.

The whistle sounded again. Saiki took off for the train with just a "whatever". The brothers looked at each and decided to follow her.

The trio made it to the train just as it was getting ready to leave the station. Saiki made her way to the back of the train and sat down by the window. Ed sat down beside her and Al sat across from the two. Saiki stared out at the scenery that was passing them by. Her stomach growled once more.

"Here..." Altrailed offand handed her a piece of fruit; she took it graciously only giving a nod.

"It's Saiki" she replied beforetaking a bite.

They continued to sit in silence as the minutes passed by along with the scenery. The train car door opened a few moments later revealing a tall male figure standing in the doorway. He had a black shirt on and jeans, his brunette hair was spiked up and he held a long dagger in one hand. His head shifted to both sides of the car as if searching for someone.
