Author's Notes: I finally got around to updating...but only had 2 reviwes from the last chapter so dwindled me wanting to update fast. More review means I'll get off my lazy ass and update faster!

A week of searching had gone by but still there was no sign of Saiki or Xavier and Ed was growing more anxious at each passing minute. He wasn't sure if she was alive or if she was dead which scared him. They had ended up going back to central hoping there would be something there but it offered nothing unfortunately.

"Brother, maybe we should take a break…. you've hardly eaten or slept…" Al requested.

"I'm fine" he replied walking further a head of his brother.

Al sighed in defeat. When Ed was determined to do something he would become too stubborn to be talked out of it. He wanted to find Saiki just as bad as Ed.

Ed sighed and slumped to the ground on the central library steps with his hands in his pockets.

"Hey Ed!" Ed looked up to see Maes Hughes (yes he's alive!) running up to them.

Ed stood up as he stopped in front of them to catch his breath.

"Short people are really hard to find" he joked. Ed twitched and glared at the comment.

"Very funny! This better be important" he replied trying to keep his temper under control.

"Well, you want your friend back? Or should I say girlfriend?" Hughes said with a smirk and Ed started to grow red "Anyways, it appears some people have spotted her but it's not for sure" he started

"Where?" Ed interrupted.

Hughes adjusted his glasses and was about to tell them the sighting when Al pointed behind him.

"Hey, isn't that Saiki?" he asked pointed to a young girl seemingly stumbling out an alley looked dazed and confused but also definitely look a lot like Saiki. Ed squinted his eyes then widened them and took off at full speed towards the girl. She looked up just as he neared her and he stopped in front of her panting. He noticed she seemed different but he wasn't sure in what way but he knew it wasn't good.

"Saiki?" he asked her hesitantly.

She blinked a couple times as she looked around at her surroundings before resting her tired looking eyes on Ed.

She felt terrible and probably looked even worse but all that mattered to her was that she found them. She walked closer to him and wrapped her arms around his neck hugging him tightly. Ed didn't hesitate in returning to the hug.

When she felt she was safe Saiki let the fatigue take over and went unconscious in his arms. Ed picked her up and carried her back to Al and Hughes with a look of relief on his face.

"She just needs to rest" Ed said

Hughes nodded "I'll get you a room to stay in" he replied and led the two to a place to stay for the a couple days.

Ed placed Saiki in one of two beds and went to get some water and some food for when she awoke. She looked like she hadn't eaten in days. He returned some hours later with a drink and food on a tray to find her sitting up in the bed. Ed set the tray down next to the bed and she Saiki allowed him to sit across from her on the bed.

"You okay? What happened? What did he do to you?" Ed asked though more questions still remained within him unasked.

"Yeah…I think…. I don't really remember what happened I was out a lot of the time. He was performing rituals n me but it seemed like they weren't working…then I was unconscious again and I woke up in an alley. Now I'm here…" she replied.

Ed nodded "the important thing is that you're back"

Saiki had started to eat some of the sandwiches and soup that he had brought for her although she found it a little unnerving that he was watching her eat and looked up at him.

"Don't worry, I didn't make it" Ed tried to make a joke to lighten the mood. Saiki laughed a little.

Saiki the half eaten food back on the tray and took a drink of water before looking back at Ed.

"Is something wrong?" he asked but she only shook her head.

Saiki leaned over and grabbed his human hand. Ed looked at her.

Saiki then leaned towards him and gave him a simple kiss on the lips.

"Thank you" she said.

"For what?" Ed asked still somewhat shocked again from the kiss.

"For everything…" she replied back with a smile but then it faded to a yawn.

"You should get some more rest to recover your strength" Ed said standing up and picking the food tray up as she got under the covers. Quietly, he made his way out of the room.

Saiki had turned onto her side and blinked her eyes. When she reopened them they were pure black but faded back to their regular color as she closed her eyes and entered sleep.
