Well, here's the second chapter!! My OC, Mikomi Hadake comes in here!! there is a very long history to how she knows Ed and Al, here's a brief explanation: She became a state Alchemist at the age of 14. Her parents and brother were killed in the Ishbal rebellion. Her brother saved her life, but she lost her right arm. She has traveled with Ed since she became a State Alchemist, and has rarely been away from him. She has long brown hair with blond bangs. Her eyes, a brilliant shade of green. She usually wears a black tank top and a ruffled miniskirt.(The color for that is whatever u want it to be) lol. The Alchemist title given to her is 'Tide' because she can easily manipulate water and other liquid substances with her alchemy.

I am in the process of writing a FanFic explaining all this, but for now thats all i can give u 4 now. so ENJOY CHAPTER 2!!

"Brother... how..." Al started to cry. "You're the only family I have left, you...can't die..."

The doctor left the room. Al walked over to his unconscious brother. He could not believe that Ed may die, no that he may be alone. But what about Ed, the pain from the bullet must be immense. He sat in the chair beside his brother's bed.

"Ed?" there was silence "I'll be here when you wake up" He sniffed, tears streaming down his face. Suddenly there was a knock at the door.

"Come in" Al turned around to see Mikomi standing at the door.

"What... ED?" She ran up to the bed. Tears welled up in her eyes "Edward? What happened?"

"Mikomi, he's unconscious" Al said grimly.

"I knew something happened to him... but this? How could THIS happen!"

"I... don't know..." Al looked at the ground.

"I'm sorry for yelling like that, it's just... overwhelming to see him like that. Leaving HQ all happy, and the next time i see him... here..." She sobbed.

"Well, the only thing we can do is wait here until he wakes up." Al tried to smile

"Yeah..." She trailed off "Have the doctors said anything to you?"

"No nothing at all" Al sat back down "I want to know... how bad the wound is"

"Just how... or, what happened?" Mikomi sad on the end of the bed where Ed lay.

"He was shot, just outside the door, i don't know who, all I heard was gunfire, and found my brother lying at the door bleeding."

"Ohh... wow... Al, are you OK?" Mikomi questioned.

"Yeah, nothing came in through the windows, but Ed... He was shot through, or very close to the heart"

"WHAT! how! did they get the bullet out??"

"I don't know" Al sighed. Just then a doctor walked into the room with a file.

"Um, i was sent here to tell you about Mr. Elric's condition" the doctor opened the file.

"Did you get the bullet out??" Mikomi asked

"No, I'm sorry, it is too close to his heart, we can't get it without severely damaging his heart"

"Well then, I'll need a glass of lukewarm water, and new bandages" Mikomi smiled while wiping a tear away.

"What? What do you plan to do?" The doctor looked stunned

"They don't call me the Tide Alchemist for nothing"

"We'll get a nurse in here to change his bandages" The doctor hurried out of the room.

"Mikomi??" Al questioned "Do you think you'll be able to do it??"

"I'll try, remember, Ive done this kind of thing before" She smiled gently. The doctor walked into the room with a nurse and a glass of water. He set it down on the table beside the bed. The nurse started to take off Ed's bandages. The wound looked horrible. There was dried blood around where the bullet went in. Mikomi examined the wound for a minute

"Well, I'll try my best, I promise you, Ed WILL survive!" She smiled, while tears rolled down her cheeks. 'this just has to work, we won't loose him, they're all counting on me' she thought as she clapped her hands and put them against the glass of water. The water moved through the air when Mikomi moved her hands. It seemed like magic, but was only specialized Alchemy her brother and father taught her.
