~Edward Elric~

"No, I can not be a cat!" gasped Edward, "It's not possible."

The black and white cat pinning him down only laughed harder when he said this. "Guys, he still thinks he's human! Come on out and see!" she gasped in between laughing fits.

"Seriously?" asked a tabby cat pushing through the shrubs on one side of the island. "Even the cow we brought here knew she was a cat." he said skeptically.

As soon as he said that, a tan she-cat with spots on her pelt padded out behind him, "No, that was an accident. And all that cow knew was how to run."

Edward realized the black cat had finally stopped laughing. "Listen, I know what happened when you were in that under ground mansion with the hommonculi." she said, "And I decided I was going to help you get back to Alphonse and Winry."

Ed just stared at her. Would his world that had come crashing down be rebuilt?

~Shadowpaw~

Now, you probably don't know me too well yet. Let's just say I have an oddly strong sense of justice, and when Envy killed Edward in that mansion it made me go wild. He didn't deserve that! All he wanted to do was save his little brother! But I'm getting carried away now, so let's get back to the story.

I had just told Ed that I had seen him in the previously mentioned underground mansion, and he was staring back at me like he had just been shot. "Er...Hello in there?" I said as I shook him.

"Why didn't you try to help?" he whispered, so I could barely hear it. "Why?"

This question took me by surprise (insert anime sweat drop), "Why didn't I help you? Well, at that point in time, I was still being watched closely by the 'enforcers'."

The word "enforcers" seemed to shake Ed free of his sorrowful trance. "Who?" he asked, looking at me in a strange way.

"The 'enforcers'," I explained, "A group of people who enforce the rules that bind my kind together."

"Uh-huh." he said, sounding sarcastic.

"I'm serious!"

"And I'm a cat." he responded, "So let's just get this nightmare over, so I can wake up and try to find Alphonse."

I lashed my tail, getting ready to pounce. Just as I started to leap at Ed, my friends, Tigerpaw and Dapplepaw, intervened. "You should at least tell him his name here." Dapplepaw said,"It might give him a reason to shut up and listen."

I nodded, and stood up taller."Right. So in this world, you're name is Sunpaw, due to your golden fur, and you live in NightClan. With me." I paused, "Tigerpaw will you tell him what you know of the Warrior Code?"

"Sure." replied Tigerpaw, sounding confident. "The Warrior Code explains how to live correctly. It tells us not to fall in love with cats from other Clans, not to kill unless we have to, and so on."

"Now, you were apprenticed yesterday, so you'll get all the training you need." I said, getting up. "Come on, we're going back to camp. We can visit them tomorrow night." I added as we padded away, motioning with my tail towards Tigerpaw and Dapplepaw.

~Edward Elric~

As they padded to the "camp" Edward couldn't help but try to chat. "So, what's your story?" he asked absentmindedly.

Shadowpaw shrugged, not turning around. "I was just a kit for the most part, playing, luaghing, running around. And then I was told I could watch the 'Other Words' for a day, and saw you, figured out how to teleport, and got you..."

As they came upon the camp, Ed just stared. It was so big. Just then, a black and white tabby raced out of what he guessed was the entrance.

"Hey Shadow! Who's your friend? Oh, it's Sunpaw isn't it?" she blabbered, not even stopping for breath.

WHO IS THIS TALKATIVE TABBY? WILL ED/SUNPAW FIT IN TO NIGHTCLAN LIFE? ALL THIS AND MORE, NEXT CHAPTER!
