Day of Requiem

Chapter 1: Normallity

OOC: Okay so I'm at school at the moment and I'm really kinda new at this so give me a break in the reviews . Yes this is my first fanfic and it will probably turn out crap. I am a fan of Fullmetal Alchemist and of Yugioh but for now I think I'll stick to one anime for now. Maybe when I'm more experienced I'll write a mix . Well anyway..On with the story!...

The story so far:

Okay so this is how the story goes- It takes place after everything has happened and suprisingly (WARNING: spoiler) Edward is not killed and alphonse gets his body back. So after all their hardships and strugles, the Elric brothers finally manage to get their old lives back. Edward now has his limbs back with him, and Alphonse can now feel in the body he was born with. But...when they finally accomplish what they had set out to do 6years ago (they are now 18) and are just getting used to the normallity of their lives, their past comes back to haunt them. The consequences of their actions to get them back to their original state start to reveal themselves as the Elric brothers start to forget all they had been through.

So now the story starts on a relatively lighter note than how it is to end...I hope you enjoy it "

Ed raised his newly replaced arm above his head to block the sun and spread his fingers wide. Fingers of flesh. Fingers that actually contained his blood in his veins. They were his, and he was not part machine, not any more. He sighed in an attitude of relief. He had finally gotten to be his normal self again. He lowered his arm as his muscels started to ache. It was a different feeling. A feeling he liked to feel. It had been a while since he actually felt like a human being. Though it was useful to be the owner of a set of metal and immortal limbs, Edward Elric had felt that he was not human. Being able to feel his muscels tense up and relax was a comfort to him. He sighed as thoughts of being able to break an arm or a leg like a little kid crossed his mind and sat up. He looked over at the lazy figure in the grass beside him and smirked. Only a short time ago was this same figure's soul bound to a suit of armour, even containing the red stone that had given him back his limbs, but most importantly, brought back the body that was now lying down in the grass beside him.

Alphonse Elric stared up at the blue sky and clouds overhead with a look of absolute daze on his face. The clear blue of the sky being reflected in his own brown eyes, a slight smile on his face. The breeze was refreshing. To feel the light air just brush his face, just above his hair, ruffling it like a familiar sensation he had felt sometime in his childhood. It took him a while to notice his older brother smirking down at him and he blinked a couple of times at the other blonde.

"What are you smirking at?" Alphonse asked, his brow furrowing and his mouth turning up into a slight frown.

"Oh nothing..." Edward answered, before turning his head back up to the sky..

...A moment passed where there was silence...

"Yo Alphonse."

"Yeah brother?"

"Do you think there's still anyway...we can reach mom...or even dad...withought-"

"Endangering our lives? Using alchemy to a point where it has the potential to kill us?"the younger brothered finished smartly, sitting up also, his head turned to the blades of grass bending in the breeze, "There probably is, we just need to find it..."

Edward looked over as his brother and smiled. Even though he was the older brother he admired how Alphonse could always seem both optimistic and down to earth at the same time. Hehad beencompletely aware of the situation that had faced them before...

"Yeah...I guess your right."

It had been a while since they had been in contact with anyone that they knew. After retrieving the stone and restoring their bodies back to normal, they decided that it would be for everyones safety if they went into hiding for a while, and give the rest of the outside world time to catch upwiththeir own actions. So that when they came back all the bi-products of their alchemy would be gone and they wouldn't have to worry anymore...that's what they had hoped would happen at least..

Edward looked towards Alphonse and passed him. A figure in the distance was making its way to them. Ed looked at this figure more closely, it looked like it was wearing uniform...the millitary?...but...how did they find them there? He put a hand on Alphonse's shoulder to get his attention and stood up slowly, not moving as he watched the figure draw closer and closer. Black hair was just visible now and Edward smirked at his own paranoia.

..no threat... he thought, and called out to the stranger...

"So..what brings you back, Fuhrer...!"
