I bet you didnt think that i would post the second chapter a day after i posted the first chapter, but i did =D. i kinda need to tell you something that is important to the plot. This is happening afer the fifth labratory, in fact it starts maybe half a day before they go to Dublith. also i am mostly going off brotherhood and the manga, however i might add slight references to the 2003 anime, for example i might mention psiren or something like that. also ed is on this chapter...and he swears...a lot. for my two reviewers:
Anquitil: thank you for the compliment, and thanx a ton for the advice on break lines, i owe you a lot ^.^ your review was the very first i ever got, and it made me more confident in my writing when i read your review so thanx for that as well.
Aimiz: yeah, i had a feeling that i wasnt using enough details, but i think that i failed to adress this problem. in fact while i was writing this i thought "needs more detail" and so i added one sentence to add detail...but thats about it...i'll underline the sentence with my descriptive writing
both of you get a giant cookie (^.^)O
Disclaimer: when say i dont own fma and ohshc i'm crying, but if i ever say i do own them i will be lying.
Haruhi woke under a pile of Host Club members.
She decided to try and squirm her way out from under the six boys, but unfortunately she wasn't strong enough. However, her squirming did awaken the two boys closest to her, Mori and Honey.
"Takashi...What happened?" asked Honey sleepily.
"Don't know." he replied. He futilely tried to get himself and Honey out from under the members who were still unconscious. This woke Tamaki, who had always been a light sleeper.
"HARUHI! DADDY'LL SAVE YOU!" He shouted without assessing the situation, so basically in typical Tamaki fashion. His outburst caused the twins to wake up.
"Ouch..." groaned Hikaru.
"...My ears." finished Kaoru.
"You guys are squishing me!" Honey complained.
"I don't think I will be able to breathe much longer" said Haruhi in a faint voice.
"GET OFF YOU DOPPELGANGERS! YOU'RE KILLING HARUHI!" screeched "the King".
"We would..." stated Hikaru
"But Kyouya is in the way." continued Kaoru.
"And he's still asleep." they finished in unison.
"Then WAKE HIM UP!" shouted Tamaki.
The three of them tried to awaken Kyouya but after ten seconds of shouting as loud as they could, much to the protests of Haruhi, Honey, and Mori, they gave up.
"Well...it can't be helped." sighed Hikaru, and with that twins kicked him off of the top of the pile and onto the dirt, then they hopped off of the pile themselves. Tamaki practically threw Mori and Honey off of Haruhi.
"Haruhi, are you okay?" he asked.
"Yeah...but where are we?" she responded.
It was then that the boys noticed their surroundings. Many strangely-dressed people were staring at them and all of the buildings and structures looked very old-fashioned.
"Hmm...TEAM! ASSEMBLE!" barked Tamaki. The club members arranged themselves at relative attention, even Kyouya, who seemed to have magically regained consciousness. "We seem to have found ourselves in unfamiliar surroundings." he started scribbling on a large whiteboard. "Where did he get that from?" thought Haruhi. Tamaki continued "We'll split into groups of two and spread out. Try to gather as much information about this place as you can. We will meet up back here in exactly one hour. Commence operation 'Find Information On This Strange Place Where We Seem To Have Randomly Appeared' a.k.a. 'Operation Where The Hell Are We?'!"
"We call Haruhi!" announced the twins.
"You can't! I said groups of two!"exclaimed Tamaki.
"But boss, we have an uneven group of people, unless you want Haruhi to go by herself," said Kaoru.
"In that case Haruhi is coming with me and Kyouya. There's no way I'm letting her go with you creepy doppelgangers," replied Tamaki.
"Tamaki-senpai I think that you're creepier than the twins," stated Haruhi. Tamaki started sulking in his emo-corner.
"C'mon Takashi lets go find some cake...I mean information" said Honey cheerily.
"Let's go Haruhi," said the twins, dragging Haruhi in the direction opposite of Honey and Mori.
"Tamaki, lets go. The others have already left," said Kyouya.
"Oh...okay," said Tamaki. And with that they set off. They soon ran into a young woman that Tamaki thought would be willing to help them."Ah my fair princess," he said while grabbing her hand,"do you happen to know where we are? My friend and I have never been in this area before."
"Oh," she said while slightly blushing,"Did you fall asleep on your train and miss your stop?" Kyouya was, of course writing notes on the whole discussion.
"Yes, I feel stupid for making such a simple mistake but I am glad that I did," he said "for if I had gotten off at the last stop I would never have met you, my love."
She slapped Tamaki. "STAY AWAY FROM ME YOU CREEPY SICKO!" she shouted and ran away. Apparently the red on her cheeks had been from anger. Tamaki started sulking again.
"Kyouya, Haruhi thinks I'm creepy...and so did that girl. Am I really that creepy?" asked Tamaki in a soft voice, as if he were afraid of the answer.
Kyouya sighed and said, "I think that you don't know how to control yourself." Unfortunately Kyouya's statement only lowered Tamaki's mood. After a few minutes of sulking he pulled himself together, and that was when they were suddenly surrounded by five men holding guns.
"We have been ordered to place you under custody, please do not resist" said one of the gun-toting men. Honey and Mori were somewhere else so the two boys surrendered without a fight.
With Mori and Honey...
They walked into a building and the scents of fresh buttery bread and homemade frosting hit their nostrils.
"I want this one," said Honey as he pointed to a small chocolate cake garnished with strawberries.
Mori asked the shopkeeper at the bakery, "How much?"
"750 cenz," replied the shopkeeper.
"What's a cenz?" asked Honey innocently.
"You're kidding right? It's the official currency of Amestris!" he exclaimed, obviously shocked. Honey wanted to ask what Amestris was but the man seemed to be on the brink of anger so he held off.
"We don't have any cenz. Is there some other way we could pay you for the cake?" asked Mori, and his thoughts afterward were "I think that was the longest thing I have ever said."
"Sorry," he replied, "I run a business, not a charity." Honey, spirits smashed, broke into tears. "Quit being so noisy, I have a shop to run!" growled the shopkeeper, obviously he had little patience for children. Honey trudged out solemnly, as if he were walking to a funeral, and Mori followed close behind. Once they had exited the shop they realized that the entrance had been surrounded by many men in strange blue uniforms, one could only guess that they were part of some sort of law enforcement organization.
"Are you sure it's them?" asked a young man.
"There's no way it couldn't be, look at those clothes." replied an older one. Honey assumed a defensive position.
"Mitskuni, no" said Mori in that toneless voice of his. Honey instantly understood that it would be unwise to cause a disturbance, plus according to the clothes comment they were probably after the others as well. Handcuffs were slapped on and the two were thrown in the back of a large van.
"I hope Haru-chan and the others are okay" said Honey as they were driven to who-knows-where.
With Hikaru Kaoru and Haruhi.
"Do you guys have any idea what you're doing?" asked Haruhi.
"Not particularly..." said Kaoru
"We're just going to walk around and watch these people." said Hikaru.
"Oh I get it!," said Haruhi, "this way we can get a whole bunch of information without being conspicuous!" The twins nodded and pretended that this had been their plan, when in reality they never had one. Luckily for them, they heard some pretty interesting snippets of conversations.
"...aw a State Alchemist, he made a cannon out of the ground, it wa..."
"...eard there might be another war in the east an..."
"...ost me 500,000 cenz and the louzy automail broke a week after it was inst..."
"...at a train got hijacked by extremis..."
"...ting dangerous here, maybe we shou..."
"...rderer killing State Alchemists, scary don..."
"...een riots in Liore, lots of bloodshe..."
Unfortunately they didn't understand any of the subjects that sounded important. Soon an hour had passed and the three headed toward the meeting spot. Once they got there they noticed that the others hadn't arrived yet. Five minutes passed and no one came. Three minutes after that they were confronted by a bunch of official-looking guys with guns
"The last three targets have been acquired" said one of the men into his radio.
"What did you do with our friends?" shouted Kaoru.
"Don't worry, you'll be joining them soon enough." said a man with bright red hair. That sentence sent chills of horror through the three. Their friends had been killed by these men.
"We suggest that you don't resist" said one of the tallest men.
"After hearing that you murdered our friends and plan to kill us you expect us to not resist!" exclaimed Hikaru, "How idiotic can you get?"
Radio-man proceeded to whack red-head with the butt of his handgun. "What my subordinate meant to say is that we have your buddies in custody and that you three are going to join them in a jail cell until we know what to do with you." Even though their situation still sucked the three club members were relieved that they weren't about to be shot.
"Okay we'll come with you," said Haruhi, "after all it's better than being shot!"After a short drive they were thrown in the jail cell where Honey, Mori, Tamaki, and Kyouya were already imprisoned. The group shared all of the information that they had gathered, but sadly it wasn't very helpful.
In a hospital in Central.
"Mr. Fullmetal Alchemist, a call for you," said a nurse as she walked in with the phone.
"Hello?" said Ed as he picked up the phone.
"Fullmetal, how's your search going?" the voice of Colonel Mustang replied over the phone.
"Shut the hell up you colonel bastard."
"I've heard that you're not doing anything important right now, correct?"
"Why do you care?"
"I want you to come back to East City, I have a mission for you."
"And what if I say that I'm busy?"
"I'd say that this mission might give you a lead on achieving your goal."
"Fine I'm coming you fucking ass hole, but this better be worth it!" and he hung up.
"What did Colonel Mustang want?" asked Winry.
"That son-of-a-bitch wants us to go to East City," said Ed, "though I am relieved that we have an excuse to avoid seeing teacher for a little while longer."
"Yeah, me too brother," said Al.
"Well I guess we're going to East City," said Ed, "and Winry, you should go back to Resembool, I bet granny's getting lonely." A few hours later they boarded the train. Halfway to East City Winry got on a different train that would take her to Resembool.
"Brother, what do you think this mission will be about?" asked Al as their train lurched into the station at East City.
"I haven't got a clue Al, but we'll find out soon enough.
Yay! a realistic-sized chapter (I hope)! review and you will get a cookie too!
