LunarFallenStar: Hey guys! Here's the second chapter of 'Fullmetal Bodyguard'! I hope you all like it and thank you all for reading! Thank you to everyone reviewed and for your spectacular ideas for this story! I look forward to writing this! Also, I don't know when Primo's time was exactly, so you can like replace whatever time period I say it is and replace it with the one you believe it is as no definite date has really been set for when Primo was alive (As far as I know at least)

xJake: Thanks for the review and I'm glad you like the story so far and are excited to read it!

Phantom Hitman 1412: Thanks for the review! I'm super glad you liked the first chapter and I hope you like this one. The two quotes you liked were from the first FMA movie. I was typing this on my bro's computer (because mine is busted beyond repair) and he was watching the movie in the background. I heard the line's and I'm like, 'heck yes!' and kept on typing. And you are so right, it is very weir writing about Al when he is not in his armored state... I'm glad you liked where I started out with the story Vongola-wise... And to answer your questions about the guardians, the only guardian there is G with Giotto being the boss and such so they will be going around and picking up the guardians. And yep, Ed's already immortal and Al looks older than him because they've been in our world for a while. Thanks for the suggestion about the notes, btw, it's helping me a lot. And don't worry, the leaving/dying part will DEFINITELY happen at the end... it's to depressing to think about.

HebaAce: Thanks for the review! Glad you liked the start of it! And you are most certainly welcome for the shot-out. You deserved it considering you basically named the story :). And yep, some of the dialogue is from the movie, I'm still using my bro's computer and he was watching it in the background so it kinda' just fit the situation. And the idea about Ed naming the Vongola is genius, I'll try to work it in to the best of my ability without it being awkward in any way. And please PM me if you think of anything else, it would be very much appreciated. And happily early birthday then! *Hands giant early-birthday-cake*

Crimsonlocket: Thanks for the review! I can tell your hyper but there is no such thing as too much sugar (I'm eating ice cream and sugary stuff as I'm typing this :) ) Giotto and G have already met Cozart since it was Cozart's idea to form a vigilante group in the first place, but I will still make Ed and Al meet Cozart though! To answer where this is set, it's set right as the Vongola started out, it's not really called 'Vongola' officially yet, so the only 'guardian' is G and Primo's the boss with Cozart helping... so yeah. And it would be totally awesome if Ed found Lampo; furthermore, it would be even more awesome if that's how Ed joined the Vongola. By stopping an attempted assassination. 'Tis an amazing Idea!

SunshineAndMoonlight: Well, right now the only guardian is G, but they'll find others. So keep looking forward to it!

Lightning of Sentinels: *Hugs back* Yep, I made a partner fic for Hitman Alchemist. Thanks for the review and I'm glad you like this story and are looking forward to it.


~Previously~

Giotto smiled and shook Ed's hand, "Please follow me. We live a little ways away."

Ed nodded and thanked Giotto and G and began to follow them down the path, his brother trailing behind him.


The Elric brothers followed closely behind Giotto and G who were leading them back to where they lived. Ed and Al looked around at their surroundings, many thoughts plaguing their minds. Both were wondering just how they got here when they were originally in Germany, but Ed's mind was particularly confused by how he could perform alchemy in this world.

After walking on the path for a few minutes, a house was seen in the distance. As they walked closer to the building, Ed and Al were surprised by the architecture. It was a lot older than the style used in Germany and what they knew of Italy's architecture.

Giotto walked ahead, pulling out a key and unlocking the door, ushering everyone inside. It was a fairly large home, not too large, but not too small either. (A/N: This is before they moved into the Vongola mansion.)

Giotto continued to walk forward, letting G lead the guests. Giotto walked into another room and called out, "Cozart! Guess what happened to us on the way back!"

"What?" A panicked voice was heard, "Were you attacked?"

"No, no," Giotto's voice drifted into the foyer, "Far from it in fact."

"What happened to your clothes?" The other voice, most likely belonging to this Cozart, "They're covered in dirt!"

"That has something to do with what happened to us," Giotto said, "G and I were walking back here and two people fell on us after falling from the sky."

"What?" Cozart asked incredulously, "If this is a joke, it isn't a very funny one, Giotto."

"You can meet them if you like," Giotto said, walking back into the foyer, a red-head following hot on his heels.

Cozart was shocked when his eyes landed on the two brothers, his crimson eyes widening.

The feeling was mutual as the Elric brothers were taken aback by the shape of Cozart's pupils which appeared to be like a compass symbol, but got over it and waved their hands in greeting.

"Hi," Ed said, waving awkwardly.

"Nice to meet you," Al said, ceasing his waving to bow slightly.

"This is Edward and Alphonse Elric," Giotto introduced.

"You can call us Ed and Al, though," Edward said, smiling.

Cozart finally snapped out of his stupor, "I'm Cozart Shimon."

"They currently don't have a place to stay for the night, so they are staying here for the meantime," Giotto explained to his best friend.

Cozart nodded in understanding then turned to face the two brothers, "Well, welcome to our humble abode. I hope you find everything to your liking. Would you like to join us for dinner?"

Alphonse waved his hand in a dismissive fashion, "No, no... We don't want to trouble you all even further..."

"Yeah, you've done enough for us already," Ed added.

"Be grateful for Giotto's and Cozart's hospitality!" G growled (A/N: Just like Gokudera).

"G," Giotto rubbed the bridge of his nose, "It's fine."

G sighed and crossed his arms, glaring at the two brothers despite Giotto's chiding.

"I can show you to your rooms," Giotto offered, but was immediately cut off by G.

"I'll handle it, don't worry!" G said, turning to Ed an Al, "Follow me."

When the others left the room, Giotto turned to Cozart, "What do you think of those two?"

"Who? The Elric brothers?" Cozart asked, earning a nod from the blonde beside him, "They seem fine to me, but it's just suspicious how they just fell from the sky..."

Giotto nodded in agreement, "My intuition tells me that they're hiding something. They're obviously not from around here considering how they asked where they were... almost nothing adds up... What intrigues me even more is how when I shook Edward's hand when I first met him, his right hand was cold and hard, like metal.

Cozart faced Giotto, "We should keep an eye on them for the time being."

They both nodded and headed to where the kitchen located, preparing for dinner. They turned to the doorway when G walked in.

"I don't trust those two..." He muttered under his breath.

"Will they be eating dinner with us?" Giotto asked politely.

G shook his head, "No, they said they didn't want to trouble us further. They also said they weren't hungry."

Giotto sighed softly. Soon, dinner was prepared and the three sat down quietly, conversing as they ate their meal.


Upstairs

Ed and Al sat in their room, minds racing as they thought through solutions on how they got here.

"Nii-san," Alphonse said, "How could we just be transported to Italy! Alchemy doesn't work here!"

"That's what I'm wondering about, Al," Ed said, scratching his chin with his left hand, "I just remember charging after that psychopath, clapping my hands, and a bright light flashing. Then, BOOM! We're falling out of the sky and falling onto Giotto and G..."

Al nodded, "We still need to figure out what triggered that occurrence..."

"We probably need to leave here soon," Ed said, eyes meeting his brother's, "Then we can find a library or something like that and do some research..."

"And when we can, we'll pay these people back for their hospitality," Al said, smiling.

"Equivalent Exchange, huh?" Ed smirked slightly, the term that dictated their lives bringing back old memories.

The brothers continued to discuss theories and formed a hypothesis for every situation until their minds grew weary and tired and the clutches of sleep claimed them.


The Next Day

Ed's eyes drifted open slowly, immediately assaulted with bright rays of sunlight drifting into the room through the glass of the window. Sitting up in bed, Ed slowly rubbed the sleep out of his eyes before noticing that someone was missing.

"Al?" Ed questioned, voice still slightly hoarse and slurred from sleep, "Al, where are you?"

Ed got out of bed and left the room, having slept in his clothes. He walked down the stairs at a brisk pace and turned to walk into where he presumed the kitchen was located.

He knew his assumption was correct when he saw Giotto and Cozart seated at a table. Giotto was the first to notice his presence and looked up, "Oh, Ed? You're finally up."

"Where's Al?" Ed asked, worried.

"G was going to go buy groceries, but Al said he would help so he could repay us for our kindness a little bit," Giotto explained, "He was very insistent so naturally we couldn't refuse his help. They'll be back in a little bit, they just left a couple minutes ago.

Ed sighed in relief knowing his brother was safe and sound.

"Would you like something for breakfast?" Cozart asked politely, facing the blonde.

Ed was about to refuse, not wanting to trouble them any further, but his stomach growled in protest. Ed flushed red in embarrassment causing Giotto and Cozart to chuckle in amusement.

"I take that as a yes," Cozart said, standing up. He walked over to where the kitchen was and piled some sort of food on to a plate.

He soon returned, the aforementioned object in his hands. He placed the plate on the table and invited Ed to sit down. Ed, face still slightly flushed, sat down and thanked them quietly.

Giotto stood up and looked at Ed, "Well, while your eating, we'll be outside. There's a few repairs that need to be done."

Ed stopped eating and looked up at the two before him, "Repairs? I can help you with that to repay you for helping my brother and me."

Giotto shook his head, "You don't have to repay us, we just wanted to help you! That's all, really..."

Ed quickly shoved all the food into his mouth, cleaning his plate. He stood up and insisted, "No, I really want to repay you! My brother and I can never go without repaying someone. It's our way of life."

"If you eat that quickly, you'll get sick!" Giotto said, "And really, we don't mind at all! Your thanks is enough payment for us."

Cozart watched in amusement as the two bickered, both insisting on whatever they had suggested. Laughing slightly, he grabbed the two by their collars and dragged them outside.


LunarFallenStar: And done! I plan on updating this story every Tuesday along with the partner story, 'Hitman Alchemist'. However, next week I'll be at camp with my Youth Group (7-9 hour bus ride and leaving at three in the morning... woohoo...) so I will not be able to update any of my stories sadly. Thank you for reading and please R&R! 'Til next time!
