Now, on to the story!
Chapter 9: Hagane no Renkinjutsushi
"Sir, is that it?" the store clerk asked, giving Ed a box of contact lenses.
"Yeah" Edward replied. He put the money on the counter and took the box. Ed wanted to look special, in a way, so he went into a cosplay shop to see what he could find. For the first few minutes, it was all maid costumes and, cat ears (he considered buying a pair for Alphonse), sailor and schoolgirl outfits. At last, he
found shelves full of contacts and makeup. He had either blue, purple, white (creepy), pink, black, brown or red. Of course, being his favorite colour, Ed chose red. It was not until after he bought them that he noticed the little hearts and other tiny designs on it. He shrugged it off. No one would see, not unless they came close to him.
Then, the older Elric received a phone call from a stupid salesman asking for his full name.
"Yes! It's Edward! Edward Elric!" Little did he know, that the murderer he was looking for was right beside him, and that he put his own life on the line…
Tamaki Suoh was thinking of something, and that something had to do with the name "Elric". A long time ago, Auntie Trisha had written that she had changed her name. No one knew that she changed her name, some people never even knew she ran away. That was a piece of information only a selected few knew about. They were only one step ahead- no, a baby step ahead.
Trisha's final letter was delivered, but the letter was meant for Tamaki's eyes, and Tamaki's eyes only. She had disguised the letter, making it look like it was from a pen-pal in Germany. In the letter, she said that she had changed her name from Grantaine to "Elric", and she met an amazing and handsome man and had a child with him.
The next part, well Tamaki was beginning to think she went bonkers or something.
Trisha Marie Elisa, or Trisha "Elric" as she preferred to call herself now, wrote that in the place she ran away to, science was the key to nearly everything, and that alchemy existed.
Everyone knew that Trisha Marie was superstitious and that she had a thing for the occult. His mother told him that when she and Auntie Trisha were younger, Anne-Sophie's sister tried to learn witchcraft and chanted spells everywhere they went.
As the both of them got older, Trisha became fascinated with horror movies, and wanted to become a makeup artist, just so that she could recreate her favourite movie monsters.
She was a happy girl, but then all her dreams were crushed. The young woman was forced into an arranged into an arranged marriage. She was to be married to a man named Alain Laurier. She wanted to be free, to do whatever she wanted, to marry any man she wanted.
For the first few months, she played along, made everybody think she was having fun with him. Finally, she couldn't take it anymore. The night before her eighteenth birthday, and her wedding, Trisha Marie Elisa sneaked out of her room, and disappeared into the night.
Tamaki went on his laptop to do some research on the murder victims. Most of the were foreigners, who went to the school. The murderer didn't make any patterns with gender, so it was an assortment of girls and boys. All of a sudden, the leader of the Host-Club noticed something. Some of the victims had blond hair, and many of them had either blue or green eyes. As he dug deeper, he saw that many of the poor souls had last names, starting with the letters "E" and "L". Tamaki read "Elson", "Elpis" and much more.
He kept going down the list, until one name in particular caught his eye. That name, was "Elcright". Anna Elcright. According to the picture, she was a gorgeous girl, with... green eyes and blond hair. Her green eyes, almost looked gold, like Edward's. In fact, the girl look like Edward. Well, if Ed was a girl, he'd look like Anna. Anna looked like Ed. Her last name was just like Ed's.
Anna was like Ed.
Just like Ed...
Then Tamaki's eyes widened in realization.
Oh my God...
"What do you mean that I have to soak the contacts in cleaning solution?!" asked Edward, confused and angry.
"You have to soak them in cleaning solution for eight hours!" Lacey replied.
"I have no time for eight hours, I need to use them now!" he said, getting angrier by the minute.
"Well, you'll have to wait anyway" she told him, sternly.
Ed could not be having a temper tantrum, not here, not now.
Lacey smiled. "Besides, it's Sunday tomorrow! You have plenty of time to soak them overnight. You can wear them tomorrow" she assured him.
The golden-eyed boy cooled down and shrugged. "Fine" he said, surrendering.
"Hey, Lacey. How do you know how to use these things" Ed asked, holding the bottle with the contact lenses.
She turns toward him, with a smirk on her face.
"It's a secret"
Tamaki was on his phone, taking notes and texting all his friends.
(italics are for texting... for this bit)

Hikaru: See ya! (6:22 pm)
Kaoru: 'Night! (6:22 pm)
Mori: Bye (6:23 pm)
Tamaki put his phone down for a bit, then picked it back up to call Ed. He tried to find Ed on his contacts, and hesitated when he did find it.
(back to italics being thoughts)
Should I scare him like this?
The young Suoh pressed the number, and heard the phone ring.
No answer.
He tried calling, but still, no answer.
Where could Ed be?
The Next Day...
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP! IT HURTS SO MUCH! PLEASE STOP! STOP! AAAAAAAAAAGH!"
Edward was screaming. It hurt so much.
"Stay still! You're going to die even quicker if you keep moving around like that!" Lacey said as she tried to keep Ed still.
"NOOOOOO! STOP! NO MORE! JUST STOP!" he screamed even more.
"Ed..." Lacey's hair covered her eyes. "They're just contact lenses" she told him.
"YEAH, BUT I DON'T LIKE IT WHEN YOU PUT YOUR FINGER ON MY EYEBALL!"
"That's how you put them on"
Lacey then sighed.
"Open your eyes, and count to three"
"Why should I do that?" Ed asked.
"Count to three, it'll make you feel better" she assured him.
Edward stopped struggling. "Fine, whatever you say..."
He started to count to three, and Lacey placed the contact lenses gently on his eyes.
"There, all done"
Ed sat up, blinking a few times. "That's it?"
The maid nodded.
He ran to his mirror, where he saw the new colour of his eyes. They were red, bright red. Ed looked like some kind of demon in human form. It was perfect.
"Ed, did you find the killer?" the maid asked.
The boy shook his head in disappointment.
"You can go now, Lacey. I have to get changed"
She nodded, and left the room afterwards.
The older Elric pulled a red hoodie over his head, but it wasn't just a normal hoodie. It had the Flamel insignia on the back, just like his duster. He removed the elastic, and let his hair down. It fell like a waterfall of molten gold down his back. Then, he slipped into his favourite combat boots.
Well my friends, it looks like the Fullmetal Alchemist is back!
Ed walked out of his home and onto the street. It was around seven, it was still busy, but it was the perfect time for gangs to appear. He just strode casually, minding his own business. It was boring, for the first thirty minutes or so. All he did was go into a few stores and coming out with nothing. He didn't find anything suspicious at all.
Then, the time finally came.
"Under normal circumstances, I would've killed ya, but since you're a cutie, I'll just take you away and have some fun with ya" a mysterious voice said. It was a man's voice, and it sounded rough.
Ed began to walk, interested in this new voice. He turned around, curious what it was all about.
"Hey what's going on?" he asked innocently.
"Stay outta this, kid" the man answered, shoving Ed out of the way.
In the corner of his eye, Ed spotted a teenage girl, cowering in fear.
"No! Please stop! Please! I promise I won't tell anybody! Please! Just let me go!"
The man, whom Ed assumed was the leader, went up to the girl and stroked her small, terrified face.
"Don't worry, I'm not gonna do anything to your pretty little face." Then, he grabbed her chin and lifted her head up, so that she looked him in the eye.
"The only thing is, that I can't guarantee you won't come home without nightmares!" and he started cackling.
Ed watched as the guy attempted to touch her. He wrinkled his face in disgust. He respected women, for he was raised by them. Edward didn't like it when females were treated badly because of their gender, and because they were weaker than men, and therefore should only exist for males' pleasure.
"So, you stooped so low to become part of a gang and target girls, have you?" the older Elric asked.
The leader of the group let go of the girl, and faced Ed.
"Didn't I tell ya to get the hell outta this place?" he said, irritated. The man clenched his fist and prepared to hit the boy. He punched Ed, but because the boy had experience in hand-to-hand combat, the attacker missed. The leader tried to hit Ed once more, but was unsuccessful.
The blonde was starting to become annoyed. He stepped towards the man, getting ready to hit him too.
Edward punched, and hit the leader of the small group in the face. The girl screamed, and tried to run away, but one of the other goons grabbed her.
Ed's anger rose even more. How dare they drag a poor girl into this?
So, beat every single person, until they were covered in bruises and black eyes. Just then, another gang member ran towards the boy, knife in hand, ready to stab him. Ed, rolling his eyes, transmuted his arm into a blade. You could see the fear in the opponent's eyes. Then, he sliced at the man, tearing his shirt and creating a large, but shallow cut on his chest.
When all of that was over, the whole gang was cowering in fear.
"W-who are you?" the gang leader asked.
The red-eyed boy glared at them.
"You can call me... the Fullmetal Alchemist. Now leave before I kill you all!
Everybody panicked and ran, bumping into each other. Now, the girl was the only one left. He went up to her, wanting to check if she was okay.
"A-are you ok-" he was interrupted by her scream.
"Go away! Just go away! Leave me alone!"
Ed shrugged, and started to walk away when he heard the girl tell him to wait.
She grabbed his shoulder, and he turned around.
"I-I just want to say thanks, for saving me" she said, blushing.
"No problem" he assured her. "Would you like me to walk you home?"
"No thanks, I'm fine"
"Alright then, good night!" the boy said, waving at the girl.
"Omigosh! Did you hear?"
"About what?"
"About the Fullmetal Achemist!"
"He has long blond hair, right"
"And he has red eyes too!"
"No dude! I heard that he has this badass looking metal arm"
"That's so cool!"
Rumours were circulating about a mysterious hero, bearing the name 'Fullmetal Alchemist'.
"I heard he was hot, and that he saved a few girls!"
"I wish he could save me!"
Later, when the Host Club was open for business, the guys spotted the girls giggling amongst each other.
"Hello ladies, may I ask what you're laughing about?" Tamaki asked.
The girls stopped laughing when the saw him.
One of them blushed, and said "Uh... we're just talking about... the Fullmetal... Alchemist..."
The Host Club King responded with a puzzled face.
"Who's he?"
All of a sudden, all heads turned towards him.
"You haven't heard of the Fullmetal Alchemist?"
"No, why?" Tamaki asked.
A few of the girls gasped.
One of the Host Club's clients answered his question.
"The Fullmetal Alchemist is a hero! He saves people and brings justice!"
The group nodded with her.
"Also, he's a total cutie!" another girl added.
"And he's got a cool metal arm that can turn into a blade!"
Suddenly, a girl's cackling and a powerful motor could be heard.
"A metal arm, you say? It's exactly like Edmund's prosthetic arm in 'Broken Love'! The arm that was given to him by his love, Wendy!"
Tamaki turned around, and sure enough, standing on her platform was Renge.
"Are you talking about that new manga in Shoujo Love?" Kyoya asked behind her.
Renge squealed in delight. "Yes, yes, yes, yes, YES!"
Then, it was Ed's cue to walk in.
"Yeah, I've heard about that manga" he said. "It's pretty interesting"
One of the clients pointed at Edward.
"Edward-senpai, you could totally cosplay as Edmund!"
All the girls melted, thinking about how hot the blond haired boy would be with a prosthetic arm.
"No, wait! What if Ed were to cosplay as... the Fullmetal Alchemist?"
The clients screeched "HOT AND BADASS!"
The Naughty Boy host smiled sadly "Yeah, a prosthetic arm"
Ed came home, went into his room and ran straight to his desk. He had a plan.
If all the students are from Ouran, I guess I can go as the Fullmetal Alchemist... But what if people found out?
Then the idea came to him. He went into his pocket and dug for his phone. He opened it and went to the homescreen. He was just about to phone Tamaki when he noticed something. It was a little box, and under it was the word messaging.
Ed opened it, and saw all his contacts. He scrolled down to find Tamaki. When the blonde touched the contact, a text box opened up.
The boy was startled at first, but figured it out in a matter of seconds.
It's like writing a letter, except faster.
And the older Elric proceeded to type.
Edward: Hey Tamaki, how about we cosplay as the characters from Broken Love? (5:30 pm)

Galaxia's Anime Recommendations:
-The Heroic Legend of Arslan
I looooooove this show so much. If you love Fullmetal Alchemist, you'll love this show because most of the characters in Arslan look and act like characters in Fullmetal Alchemist. Also, Hiromu Arakawa worked on the art and story.
- Death Parade
I've got nothing to say. Just watch it. The OP is just...
And that's all, folks!
IF ANYONE ASKS, MY PERCEPTION OF TIME IS MESSED UP, SO YOU GUYS MIGHT THINK THAT APRIL FOOLS WAS NINE DAYS AGO, BUT I THINK IT WAS YESTERDAY. I ALSO THINK THAT MY BIRTHDAY, WHICH WAS ON THE 6TH OF MARCH, WAS YESTERDAY,
