A/N : I've finished the exam today! Though I still have to do some other test after this too. I really really thank you all for the reviews, alerts and favs! You guys are awesome.
The journey toward the HQ has been quiet uneventful. With Major Armstrong driving, and Lavi seated beside him at the passenger seat. Allen and Kanda seated at the back seat. After a while, the raven haired man started to fall asleep. While Allen and Lavi has fallen asleep at the train, Kanda had stay awake all the time, not wanting to be the victim of a certain red rabbit pranks.
Allen saw Kanda started to fall asleep "It's alright Kanda, you can sleep. I'll make sure of keeping watch of akuma and Lavi." Allen said with a grin. Kanda glance at him for a moment, too tired to have an argument right now and close his eyes. Ever since the incident in the ark, Kanda has been able to stand the beansprout's presence, for a bit. After some time in the Black Order, he has matured quiet a lot, having less argument with Kanda in important times, especially in missions like this time.
Allen watched Kanda as he fallen asleep. He leaned into his seat and sighed, running his hand through his hair, pushing his bangs back. Lavi turned around in his seat and about to open his mouth. Allen let go of his hair, his bangs return back to it's place. "Shh.. Lavi be quiet. I don't want an angry Kanda chasing us around just because you woke him up." Allen said with an eye roll.
Lavi grinned and opened his mouth again. Allen cover his mouth just before any words come out. "No, you will not say any word until we arrive or I will do something you'll regret forever." He said with a sweet smile, uncovering Lavi's mouth.
Lavi snapped his mouth shut with a 'click' sound from his teeth. Apparently, not even Lavi dare to keep arguing when Allen has used that tone. He turned back in his seat and keep quiet the whole time. Allen grinned from the back seat, enjoying his time threatening Lavi. Major Armstrong who saw the whole interaction hid a small smile that had come when he saw it.
'They're just like kids. I wonder why they joined the Order. They kind of reminding me of Edward and Alphonse Elric.' He thought.
Kanda jerk awake from the sudden fall to his side. He managed to land on his feet because of his reflex, immediately changing into a battle position, his hand gripping Mugen ready to take it out of the sheat. He looked around and see Allen grinning like a mad man in front of him.
"You... Brat." Kanda growled. His hands gripping Mugen tighter.
"Nice seeing you awake Kanda." Allen showed his blinding smile. Kanda swore he's going to be blind just by standing beside the brat.
"Yuu-chan!" Lavi hop toward Kanda, ready to glomp him.
Kanda unsheated his sword and pointed it at Lavi's neck. "Don't call me that!" He had already have a bad day been woken up by the beansprout, almost falling to the ground like an idiot.
Lavi swear he saw satan standing just behind Kanda, laughing at him. "Heh, Yuu-chan, that's no good. Put down the sword."
Kanda growled at him and raise his sword "How about I put you down instead!"
Lavi screamed and ran behind Allen. Allen sighed "Why did you hide behind me Lavi?" he rubbed his temple.
"Yuu-chan's going to kill me!" Lavi shouted.
"And who's fault is that?" Allen raised an eyebrow. He turned toward Kanda "Stop it already. We have to meet the colonel Major Armstrong has mention before. We can't waste time here."
"Che." Kanda sheated his sword and start walking toward the HQ. Lavi stopped acting like a child, showing his serious part of him, walking toward the HQ too. Allen smiled toward Major Armstrong "Sorry about that. Can you lead the way, Major?" Allen asked.
Major Armstrong nodded. Leading the way to the colonel's office. 'Are they really gonna be okay with dealing those creatures?' He thought.
Roy sighed. He tapped his pen againts his desk. Riza Hawkeye stood beside his desk. Her eyebrow raised, ready to told her superior to do his work when he sighed again.
"Sir, I would appreciate it if you would stop sighing and do your work already." she said sternly. Roy glanced at her and sighed again. Riza's hand twitched toward he gun but stopped when Roy opened his mouth.
"Fullmetal's late. The exorcists gonna be here soon." he grumbled. Riza raised an eyebrow again and about to say something when there's a knocking on the door. "This is Major Armstrong, I've brought the exorcists here."
Roy looked up, he sat straighter in his seat. "Come in."
When the exorcists come in Roy admitted that the never expected the exorcists to be teenagers. The exorcists stop in front of his desk and Armstrong stood beside Riza.
Roy stood up. "I guess you're the exorcists out Furher have called. Pleasure to meet you. I'm colonel Roy Mustang."
The white haired boy nodded at him. "It's a pleasure to meet you to. I'm Allen Walker. The red haired one is Lavi and the one with the sword is.."
Lavi cut him off "Yuu-chan!"
In a second, Kanda had drawn out Mugen and pointed it at Lavi's neck. "Don't call me that you stupid rabbit!" Kanda growled.
Lavi gulped. "Hehe.. Yuu, you wouldn't hurt you best buddies right?"
"Shut up!" Kanda was about to kill Lavi when Allen grabbed his wrist. Kanda turned to glare at him.
Allen clicked his tongue in disapproval. "Stop it." He said.
"Che." Kanda lowered his sword and Allen let go of his wrist. Allen turned toward Roy and smiled.
"Sorry about that. And as you've heard, he's Yuu Kanda but please call him Kanda as he didn't like to be called with his first name."
Roy nodded, somewhat doubting that these are the exorcists they have been expecting. "Please take a seat." he gestured toward the couch. When the exorcists have taken a seat, he sat down.
"As what we've been informed, I take it that all of you could take down the akuma that have been around here."
Lavi nodded. "Yes, we've been ordered to eliminate all of them. And I think it will take quiet a long time to do it. And we will need someone who know's well about this country too."
Roy nodded. "Yes, I have already cover it. I have ordered one of our state alchemist to accompany you in your mission. He's quiet handful but very reliable in fighting. I think he will be here very soon."
Lavi stood up. "Is that so? Well then, think we will be waiting for him then?" Allen and Kanda stood up too.
"I think he will be here in a second. I can here him just down the hall. He's quiet a loud boy you see."
Allen grinned. "The same as Lavi here." Kanda smirked a little.
"Hey!" Just then, someone threw open the door.
"Sorry, I fell asleep and Al didn't wake me up." a golden haired boy came in, a large man in armor just behind him.
The boy and armor scanned the room and stopped in their track when their eyes fall on Allen. The armor let out a surprised gasp while the golden haired boy stared at Allen. His eyes big. After a while the boy opened his mouth.
"Allen?"
"Eh?" Allen asked, confused. Did he know these two? He did feel like he has seen them before.
Lavi turned to Allen. "Do you know them Allen?" he asked. Kanda watched him from the corner of his eyes.
"Uhhh... Do I know you?" Allen asked hesitantly.
The boy took a step forward. "You're.. Allen right? Don't you remember me? It's Edward!"
Allen looked confused for a while then realization dawn on him. "Edward?... Ed...?"
"Yes! It's me! So you do remember!" Edward stood in front of Allen. A big smile on his face. He hugged Allen in a manly hug.
"Where have you been all these time? We all missed you! Me, Al, Winry, grandma Pinako, and mom.." he let go of Allen.
"I'm.. Really sorry. I've never expected to see you again." Allen said.
"Allen!" Al shouted.
"Eh?" Allen turned toward Al. His eyes widened. "That voice.. Al? Is that you?" Allen asked.
Al nodded and hugged Allen in a bone crushing hug. "Ughh... Can't... breath..." Al gasped. "I'm sorry!"
Allen panted a bit. "You.. have grown a... lot." Allen smiled.
Roy coughed. "I take it you have known each other?" Roy asked, an eyebrow arched.
"Yes! He has lived with us for quiet some time in the past but he got separated from us after some... incident happen." Al said.
"Incident?" Roy asked.
"Never mind it." Ed said.
"Uhh.. Allen? you know them? But you never mentioned that you had been to Amestris before!" Lavi said.
"I have lived in Amestris before. Just before I met Mana." Allen said.
"Mana? Who's that Allen? And.. that uniform.. You're the exorcists the Furher called? You have a load to tell us Allen." Ed said.
"Uhh.. Anyway.. This is Lavi and the one with sour look is Kanda." said Allen. "And now, I go with the name Allen Walker."
"Walker? Where did you get that name?" Ed asked.
"It's a long story. I would like to know how you got in the military too. From what I've know, a state alchemist is some kind of a dog of the military right?" Allen said, crossing his arm in front of his chest.
"It's.. Nothing.. You wouldn't need to know." Ed murmured.
"No.. And I would like to asked you some other things too." Allen said as he glanced at Al. Ed noticed that Lavi and Kanda had been glancing at Al too. It made him nervous.
Roy coughed again."Uhh.. Yeah. Think it's time to take them to their hotel Fullmetal. They're in the same hotel as yours." he said.
"Fullmetal? Is that you state alchemist name?" Lavi asked. Ed grumbled.
Allen looked more concerned. "I really need to hear your story Ed. Come on, show the way. And thank you colonel." he nodded slightly.
All of them go out of the office with Ed and Al leading the way.
Riza and Armstrong glanced at their superior. "I would like to know how Edward know Allen." Riza said.
Roy sighed "I would like to know too. Remind me to ask Fullmetal when he's back."

I really love to see other people's opinion about my story. And if you have some suggestion, please feel free to tell me. If this keeps up, I have to discontinued this story.
