Once Again I DO NOT OWN FMA OR SOUL EATER...

Chapter 6

It was morning...

The Elric Brothers were sparring out back, something about Ed drinking milk if he lost.

Maka was nearby sitting on a wheelchair...

She hadn't actually been outside for nearly a week..

Looking up to the sky everything seemed calm what besides the constant sound of Ed's i-don't-drink-milk monologue.

Other than that thinks seemed calm... too calm..

This world seemed similar put aside the constant laughs of the sun in her world..

Everything was almost alike..

Almost...

It seemed strange to trust people you just met a few days ago..

But strange as it may seem those types of meetings forge strong bonds...

Out of anyone of them the only one Maka really trusted was Winry..

Even though their meeting was somewhat awkward.

Waking up to someone measuring your other arm for three whole days wasn't normal..

But somehow...

Winry reminded her...

Of someone...

Later

"So.. how does this actually work?" A curious but somewhat worried Maka asked as she was brought to a makeshift operating table... seeming nervous as she noticed several operating tools nearby.

"Well.. the only way to attach the arm and legs require further amputation for the brain signals to properly travel.." Winry answered.

Maka promptly lay on the table her nervousness disappearing.

Winry came closer putting the tools on a smaller table while at it.

Izumi stood nearby just in case the mechanic needed assistance.

"Now Maka this is going to hurt.. so please bear with it okay?" Winry said.

Maka gave a silent nod to notify both of them that she would be alright.

This was going to be EXTREMELY painful. Even grown men screamed in pain at this operation.

There weren't any anesthetics ready that the military didn't have in their hands either..

She had to bear the entire surgical operation..

A few hours later...

Maka lay again in her bed having been brought there when she was unconscious.

Winry breathed a sigh of relief glad that it was all over with..

Things began to quiet down a little..

Al was sent to buy supplies while Winry was sent along with him and after much debate (and nearly being hit with a meat cleaver) Edward was ordered to watch over Maka as a punishment for not filling his end of the sparring bet.

"Why the HELL do I have to do this job!" Ed thought the memory of flying across the hall at the speed of light clearly in his mind..

He wouldn't make a comment like that again... EVER seeing as he flew through the hall AND was beaten by sensei for crashing into a wall (destroying it in the process)

Snapping out of those PAINFUL memories Ed quietly sat down, noticing a small book on the small desk nearby went closer to find the words "Maka Note" firmly carved into the leather covering..

Looking back to Maka who still lay unconscious he quickly took the book and dragged his chair outside the door.

"Consider it revenge for that chop..." He thought again before the door closed behind him

Elsewhere...

Shibusen lay silent...

Soul and Maka were missing..

They sent search parties. To all possible places..

They found Soul half dead amongst the remains of Medusa's lair.

But one question was left unanswered..

Where had Maka gone?

Soul had told them she was somewhere else a few days later after but other than that nothing else was said.

She certainly wasn't dead that was known ad Shinigami-sama couldn't even sense her soul amongst the fallen ..

One thing that was known was that she was safe..

But something seemed strange about Shinigami-sama he always stood at the certain part of the room where those departed souls always went.

"I guess it can't be helped.. she must have ended up there.." The reaper quietly concluded.

The souls..

They had something to do with it..

The question was how?

Back in Dublith...

Ed shuffled through the pages of the book. It seemed to be Maka's journal as she had made use of an empty book she found in the room..

They didn't know anything about her (except Winry of course) but she wasn't the type to tell anything either.

One thing was for sure he would find out on Who exactly was Maka Albarn.

But first thing was first he needed to put this back before a flying book would hit mid in the face.

An hour later

Maka woke up to find Ed reading through some of sensei's old research notes.

The room was silent.

But not for as long as one hoped..

"How did you lose them ?" Maka asked.

"Lose what?" Ed countered.

Maka made a gesture towards Ed's automail.

Silence fell on the room..

"I lost it during a rebellion" Ed answered back..

Maka seemed to look at him differently as if she was scanning his words..

"You're lying" She shot back

Silence again..

"Was it someone you knew." She asked.

He stood there not saying anything for a few seconds..

"Ed! Get down here and help us with this stuff!" Shouted the mechanic.

Ed made his was towards the door.

"Yes... it was.." He answered before closing the door behind him.

A/N

Well aw crap one more day until I go back to school...

Ed isn't the type of person to take someones journal but I put that there for a reason.

Most of the concepts here are from the 2003 anime.

Anyway folks Maka wont stay bedridden for long (limbs not attached yet) but she will soon..

See ya!
