Disclaimer: read previous chapters...
Welcome to chapter four... I think...? Sorry been busy, and originally this chapter was supposed to be longer, but one the orignal handwritten copy sucked ass and the fact that I'm to lazy to type out something that long. I have a lot of ideas for this story so it should take about two to three weeks to update a chapter (I'm including typing time and procastination of putting in the corrections.) Thank you all to those that read this story. (I know you're out there I check my stats!) And to those that review it as well!
Eve finally enters the story!!!!!! I'm really excited about this! I really like Eve, but she is really hard to write for. Unlike most characters she doesn't really have highs and lows of emotion, but if you have seen/read Black Cat she does begin to develope them. She was one of the reasons that this went through so many revisions, I really didn't think that I was potraying her correctly. In the Black Cat she starts off at the age of eleven, but in this story I made her sixteen because I think that her and some other person in this story needs love! Yay for crossover crack pairing!
P.S. Because of my brother's request I use the word "Himichi" instead of princess, "Himichi" is a shortened version of "Himichisai" meaning "Small Princess".
Enough out of me enjoy the story...
Ever since Sven and Train had found her, Eve has always been treated like a little girl. From what they have told her she turned sixteen this year. And Sven, the man that she desperately wants approval from still treats her with the kid gloves that he had been using for the past two years.
Has it been that long since she had been rescued from that god forsaken hell hole that she was "created in"?
Even now with the control over the nano machines in her body has become far more developed she could create anything with her body thanks to that special organ. But what angers her more is Sven still depends more on Train than herself.
When will Sven see who she really is instead of the Himichi that Train call her?
Eve angrily plucked a novel off of the shelf and skimmed the back cover.
"That is a good one, I suggest you read it." A blonde young man said smiling down at her.
Eve was struck by his genuine expression of helpfulness and because of it she began to scrutinize him with her eyes. Was he one of those weirdoes that Sven and Train always told her to stay away from? She eyed him up and down; he was tall at least over six feet, and lanky in the way that he hadn't filled out in his towering body yet. His eyes a soft green and showed so kindness, and for how exhausted he looked one would assume he had been traveling for a long period of time.
He shifted uncomfortable under her gaze, looking away from her, "Well that is if you like those kinds of novels. I'm quite fond of them myself, really I find them good for reading on long train trips."
"We don't travel by train." Eve stated blandly.
"Oh are you from here?" he raised an eyebrow turning to look at her again.
"No, we travel by car."
"Really?" he said excitedly and his eyes danced, "I've never traveled long distances in a car before! Mostly to and fro in Central and such."
"Oh." she responded looking away.
He looked dejected, "I'm sorry am I bothering you? I'll just leave now." He said turning to leave.
"Don't go." Eve said grabbing his arm tightly; this was the first time that she's talked to a person her own age, she didn't want him to get away.
But she found it odd that his reaction to her wasn't from her tight grip on his arm, but it was almost as if he had to see what was stopping him from going anywhere. But that didn't matter anymore when she realised that she was touching somebody that she didn't know in public.
"I'm sorry." Eve said looking away dropping her hand instantly.
He gave her a reassuring smile, "Don't worry its fine," and he tilted his head; "I don't have anywhere to be for a while would you like to go for a walk with me?"
She's never met a regular human being like this. Every time she's talked to someone it always had been sweepers or other people that Sven or Train knew. Maybe this was her chance to make a normal human friend, "Sure."
She placed the book she was holding onto the shelf and they exited the store.
"Is there anything in particular that you have to do?" he asked, "Because if you don't I'd like to show you my favourite part of Rizenbool."
"Do you live here?" Eve asked.
"No, I was born here. I come back to visit friends every now and then." He smiled down at her.
Eve realised how much he smiled and wondered if it was constantly plastered on his face, "What is your name by the way?"
"Oh my I forgot to introduce myself again!" he sighed, "I'm Alphonse Elric."
"Eve." He lifted an eyebrow when she didn't include her surname, but she continued, "The man that is my guardian he never did find my surname."
He gazed at the sky, "There are some days that I didn't have the last name of mine." He said his smile wavering.
"You're related to the Fullmetal Alchemist?" she asked.
"You better believe it. Nii-san is a handful." Alphonse gave a sigh.
"You sound like you lecture him constantly. Sven always does that to Train when he does something wrong," Eve pouted at the thought, "but Train always gets away with whatever he does."
"Your brother?" Alphonse looked concerned for some reason and Eve couldn't figure out why.
"Traveling partner." She said as she frowned at the dense trees that he was taking her into, "where are you taking me?"
"My favourite place in the whole world." Al gave her a grin and she was sure that he was just one of those grinning fools with a brain, like Train. They like to put on stupid facades unless they really mean business.
And then she saw what he was smiling about.
Eve had never seen something like this in her whole life. It was like all of the places that Sven had taken her after she was rescued.
It was simply beautiful.
Tulips, lilies and daises bloomed in bunches together and she could hardly catch her breath when he lead her to other side of the patch of flowers.
The grove was on a high cliff above the town. Looking down you could see everything that was going on in it. The people going on with their day were small as ants were calming in a way to Eve, but she walked further in land and took her place in the middle of the grove.
"Beautiful." Eve breathed out, lightly touching a white petal of a daisy.
"I know." he said as his connected with hers and he began to walk to her side.
She felt her cheeks burn for some reason and Eve deducted that this was what Rinslet called flattery, and she had to admit that it did feel good to some extent, "uh…what is it that you think is beautiful?"
"Well um… you… and the flowers…" He said nervously as he sat across from her, "I'm making a fool out of myself aren't I?" Eve laughed as his face went bright red.
"I'll just go…" He said nervously standing up and walking in the direction of the edge of the cliff.
"Wait!" she said running after him, "how…?"
He smiled down at her; "there is a trail with more flowers down this way." He said pointing in the direction. She leaned forward to look in the direction he was showing her when suddenly the ground beneath her collapse and she watched as Alphonse dived after her.

"Winry?" a blonde man said angrily
"Oh you're home!" Winry said excitedly clapping her hands together.
Train smiled and slightly bowed to the boy, "I'm sorry I was just leaving." And was about step out when Winry grabbed his upper arm.
"You don't have to go Train-kun! This is someone I was meaning to introduce you too." She said.
It was obvious to Train that this boy, man, whatever was close to her, it was evident from the jealously that he could see from the boys eyes. But it seemed that Winry wanted to keep Train's friendship, so she lied to the boy making it seem that she had known Train for a while. Not that Train minded Winry's company was fun in a way, and he was sure that if that boy hadn't come out of nowhere they would of talked the afternoon away, so he decided to play along.
"Oh, Winry-chan this is that Edward-san that you were talking about! I never knew that the man was the Fullmetal Alchemist!" Train said stupidly looking down at her, Winry didn't even give a hint that they were making this up on the spot. But anyone would know that the boy was the Fullmetal Alchemist by looking at his profile .
"He's a bit shorter than I thought that he'd be." Train added and watched as Edward Elric's eyebrow twitched.
Edward shuffled his way up the stairs towards Train, and stuck out his hand, "Edward Elric."
Train grinned dumbly and shook it, "Train Heartnet." He said as the grip on Train's hand tightened.
Their death grip match ended when Winry called out, "Alphonse! Oh my goodness what happened?"
Edward dropped his hand in an instant and rushed to his brother's side. So that his brother was now balancing on him other than the girl that the boy had been using. Then Train realised whom the girl Alphonse had been balancing on.
"Himichi!" Train yelled out slamming his hands on the railing of the porch.
The girl looked up, "Train…"
Train hopped over the railing and ran towards her, "what the heck are you doing out here!? Sven told you to stay at the hotel!"
"I went to get a book." She said curtly.
"Wait I know who you are now…" Edward said smiling at the two passing Alphonse to Winry.
"You mean me or Himichi?" Train said pointing between the two of them.
"You're the guy Mustang wanted me to catch."
"Oh really? How do you figure?"
"You have that mark there." Edward said pointing to the XIII tattoo on his chest.
"I guess I've blown our cover again Himichi." Train said shrugging; Eve pouted in anger.
Edward's eyebrow twitched at the fact that they were ignoring him, "Mustang said he'd give me a bonus if I caught you."
"Oh really? How'd you think you're going to catch me?" Train said watching the alchemist dig his toe in the ground.
"Like this!" Edward said slammed his hand into the ground causing the grass to turn into spikes. Train and Eve dodged easily.
"Hey Train I want to fight this battle!" Eve called out to her partner.
"I'm sorry Himichi, but it looks like they're only after me. You can't show them you're skills just yet." Train said with a silly smile.
"I'm telling Sven on you!" she pouted as she sat down on the sidelines.
"Pull out your weapon!" Edward demanded.
"Why should I?" Train said dodging another attack from the ground, "you've only got one arm."
"You've got good eyes."
"No, aren't you supposed to clap?" he dodged as sharp as needles grass came flying at him, "I mean most alchemist at least have a prepared transmutation circles."
"You know a lot about our kind."
"Let's just say that I've kill a lot of your kind." Train gave a strained smile.
Edward gave crazed grin and took a piece of metal from his coat pocket transforming it into a staff with a dagger on the end of it.
He thrust toward Train who dodged and landed on the railing of the porch. Train leaned back and reached for the jug of milk behind him and tossed it in Edward's direction.
The colloid liquid soaked the blonde boy all over and he screamed, "oh no! I'm melting! I'm going to die a slow and milky death!" Edward flopped onto the ground and started twitching, "damn you! How did you know my weakness?" he cried.
Train sighed perched on the railing, "well that was disappointing…"
God knows what flowers bloom where if those flowers don't bloom at the same time or even in a grove sorry.
And yes for those that are wondering Eve does think very highly of Sven. I don't know if I'll include it in the story but I'll tell this to those that would like to know reason why she does is:
Sven was Eve's first contact with the outside world when she was still living in the lab.
