TM: ON WITH THE STORY!
"What do you mean you don't remember?" Ed ask breaking free of his brothers grasp, it was more of a statement then a question.
"Exactly what I said, I don't remember who I am or where I'm from." I answered in a saddened voice, I turned my face away from them. "All I remember is walking through that forest; collapsing, then waking up here."
I really didn't like not remembering, and I felt like I had disappointed Ed and Al with my answer too.
"She probably has ammonias."
Startled, I looked up to see a man standing at the door, he had black hair to match his dark blue eyes, and he was also wearing some kind of blue uniform.
"Who are you?" I asked, I didn't like him one bit. His eyes where cold, dark, and hard to read, I had no idea what he was thinking.
"I'm coronel Roy Mustang." 'Military, that explains a bit.' "But we should be more worried about finding out more about you." he held up my bag, I had completely forgotten about it.
He walked over to the bed and tipped everything out. I sat up and looked at the items now laying at my feet. There was a locket, a book, and a card. I picked up the locket and examined it, it was made of silver and had green trimming with a symbol that resembled a clover on the front. I attempted to open it, but it wouldn't budge.
Mustang picked up the card and opened it. "It says. To Kai, Happy 10th birthday, love grandpa. That's it."
"At least we know your name now Kai." Al added looking at me and I guessed he was smiling so I returned a small grin.
I then toke the card of Mustang. It had a picture of a bird on the front. This made me smile even more, I had heard many birds in the forest, it was ironic really. Ed then picked up the book and opened it.
"Hey take a look at this." Ed said show the others the book with a surprised look on his face.
"It's an alchemic research journal!" Mustang was now looking over his shoulder.
"Does that mean that Kai is an Alchemist?" Al asked, actually it was more of a statement then a question.
"Once more I have never seen anything like this…" Ed was interrupted by a large growl. My cheecks went pink with embarrassment when I realized that it was my stomach that had made the noise, I hadn't eaten for days.
I looked at the others and sheepishly asked "I don't suppose you have anything to eat do you?"
After I had eaten dinner, the four of us begin to discuss what to do next. The doctor said I could leave, but I had to stay in the hospital one more night just to be safe. Ed and Al said that they would let me stay at their place while Mustang searches the missing persons list for someone of my description.
"So where are we anyway?" I finally asked realizing I had no clue where I was.
"You're in a small clinic, on the outskirts of a place called East city in the eastern area of the country Amestris." Mustang answered standing up and walking out the door. "I've got a ton of paperwork to do, I'm leaving her in your care Fullmetal."
With that he left, and Ed looked like he was ready to punch his lights out. This made me giggle.
"What's so funny?" Ed asked, his anger now diverted to me.
"Oh nothing, I was just thinking that the only thing shorter than your temper is you." I teased, as if to prove my point Ed once again jumped towards me only to be stop by his brother. This made me laugh even more.
After we had all calmed down, I began to wonder something,
"Hey Edo, can I ask you something." Ed looked at me funny; probably because of the nickname.
"Yeah, what is it?"
"When Mustang left he called you Fullmetal. Is there a reason behind that?"
Ed looked a little shocked but answered anyway, "It's because I am a state alchemist by the name of The Fullmetal Alchemist, and he just calls me Fullmetal because it's easier." He put a little emphasis in his nickname, probably to add dramatic effect.
"So what's a state alchemist? Actually what's an alchemist all together?" I asked still confused and a little curious.
"Well an alchemist is someone who changes an objects structure using alchemy," Al explained.
"And a state alchemist is someone who is recognized by the military for their Alchemic abilities." Ed continued.
"Oh ok." I answered still a little confused at the concept behind alchemy.
After a while Ed and Al left to go home and get some rest. Once they had left I reached into my bag and grabbed the book we were looking at earlier. It looked like it had been hand written and had a lot of drawings of strange circles in it. I began to read it and found it pretty easy to understand, I felt as if I had read it before but I had no memory of it. I read most of the book before falling asleep, I don't think I will ever forget the dream that followed.
I was standing on a building looking out at a city filled with lights. There was a gentle breeze, but my hair didn't move, it stayed neatly in place. "You're not getting away!" I heard a familiar voice yell. I spun around to find Ed and Al, standing in a fighting stance. In front of them was a tall man with dark hair and glasses. "Why would I run when I could just us this!" he yelled back pulling out a gun and pointing it at the brothers. I froze, one wrong move and I was dead (forgot I was in a dream at this point). All I could do was stand there and stare at the gun now aimed at my two new friends. Suddenly there was a large bang and the gun fired. I stood there and watched as Al clasped to the ground and his helmet come flying off. I ran up to him screaming if he was alright, then I saw inside his suit. It was… It was… it was empty!
Kai: We know my name now. YAY!
TM: I knew your name from the start.
Kai: I didn't! And you're the author, of course you knew my name. YOU MADE ME UP!
TM: *sigh* you know you're bored when you have arguments with your fictional character.
Kai: your either really bored, or a complete geek.
TM: I'M NOT A GEEK! I'm an otaku!
Kai: Whatever. See you next time. db
