Lost Memories
A full metal Alchemist story
Three: The Promise
"Where are we heading off to Edward?" It was a nice sunny Tuesday morning in central. Edward, Alphonse, and Kiyo were off to their hometown. However, Kiyo was not aware of this yet because she had lost all her memories for her past, which included the love she once shared with Edward. "You'll see when we get there." Edward yelled back. Kiyo wasn't too thrilled about this 'secret' trip, but she went along with it because she knew Edward knew more about her than she knew herself. "Ready Kiyo?" Alphonse had asked Kiyo. The two of them had been play Rock, Paper, Scissors to occupy the time. Edward laughed to himself. He knew Alphonse always choose rock, and then scissor, then paper, it was just his favorite combination. "Aw man! You won again Kiyo. That is the 5th time in a row. Brother I think she is too good for me." Again Edward laughed. "Maybe you should try a new combination Al!" he hollered back. Kiyo giggled as the two brothers argued about Alphonse way of the game.
Even though she didn't remember them completely, she knew she must of known them before. How else would they know so much about her? She looked to the western sky; it was so pretty in the morning. "What are you thinking about?" She turned to see Alphonse looking at her and the ride had become silent. "I was just thinking about what it must have been like growing up with you two, and how I ever could of left." She said with a smile on her face. What she didn't know though, is that statement was burning a bigger hole in Edwards' heart. Could he still tell her he loves her? He couldn't figure it out and it was driving him insane. "Well, you were always full of life. You always got us in trouble too, like this one time at Winery's you jumped off the deck thinking you could fly. Her grandmother was so angry at me for not watching you." Edward chuckled as he remembered the fond days with Kiyo before she lost her memory. He felt as if he took those days for granted, and he had.
Kiyo looked down, trying to remember that day, but nothing came to her. When she looked at Edward she saw for the first time the sadness in his golden eyes. "Edward, are you okay?" He finally snapped back into reality and smiled at his childhood sweetheart. "Yeah, I'm fine. I was just thinking of the old days with you. I really miss them, I just wish you could remember." Kiyo felt her heart crack. Had Edward been her first love? She wondered this in her mind. Kiyo had never been in love; as far back as she could remember. She liked Cornell Mustang but then she learned he was with Riza and that was that. "Edward, I know I don't remember anything now, but maybe with you and your brothers help, I can learn to remember." Edward blushed cherry red because after her sentence she had held his right hand. The two said nothing but smiled at one another. "Want to play another round Kiyo?" Kiyo smiled and agreed, she played 7 more rounds of Rock, Paper, Scissors with Alphonse, all of which she won, until she heard Edward tell them both, "We are here!" and all Kiyo could do is smile and remember, she promise to remember Edward, and she would no matter what the cost.
