A/N

Hey, I am back again with another chapter.

Reena's POV

I stood in shock seeing my brothers standing with their backs to me, Edward's arm missing and Alphonse in a suit of armour. Truth had recently begun supplying me with information, 'They tried to bring back your precious mommy,' I cringed, 'They paid the toll as did you, only they did not succeed unlike you, who gave up everything against my plans.' I knew what they had done and it scared me to think about it.

They turned and I saw Edwards eyes, scared and disbelieving, "Are you really my sister?" I nodded and tears began to run down my face.

Kanda's POV

I was surprised when she began to cry, in the little time I had known her she had only once revealed her emotions or abilities other than the one time in Venice where she had mourned the life of the finders that had died protecting the innocence that had been destroyed by the clan of Noah. She may share characteristics of the Noah but she had emotions, she valued life, and she used the innocence. She had become the Noah of perception and time, the main fears of man, how you are perceived and the flow of time, which in the end causes the demise of a human. She could control their perception and reverse time, an ability all humans dream of.

I knew though why she was crying, she had not expected her brothers to believe her and accept her, and a while ago she had confided these fears to me.

Flash Back

"Kanda?" she whispered to me, "Have you ever felt that there was someone who you knew who you believed would not accept you as you were due to who you were?" She had been scared and crying in fear, "Kanda… Please… don't go…" She was falling asleep on my shoulder and against what I usually do, I let her sleep in my arms, I knew she felt safe when she was held like this. I had wanted to distance myself from the order to protect the people I cared about but I knew the only way I could protect her was to care and stay close. She was different, the one girl I truly loved.

End of flashback

I felt the same now, I still needed to protect her from the fear she felt. The tears streamed down her face and I laid my hand on her shoulder, she reached up instinctively and held it, "Brother…" She was still crying and trying to prevent herself from running to her brother. After a moment of the stalemate, her eye activated and I turned, in front of me was a massive level three. She was obviously in shock so I activated Mugen and stepped in front of her as the akuma attacked. I was flung to the ground, "Kanda!" she screamed, "Get up Kanda, Kanda please get up." She cried to me as my body repaired the damage the akuma had inflicted on my body. I saw her activate her arm and launch herself forward as a new piece of innocence wrapped around her legs and launched her into the air, the boots were similar to Lenalee's dark boots but not quite the same, they were dark red and came up to her knees. She attacked the akuma with these boots causing it to not only falter but also be destroyed in a singular hit.

What happened next surprised me more; when she landed, she collapsed in a heap. The moment my body decided to completely heal was the moment she passed out, "Reena…" I noticed her right arm had a severe infection starting at the wrist and traveling almost all the way up her arm, I turned to Pinaco, "You have to help her; if that infection gets out of hand she will die."

Pinaco motioned for me to carry Reena to the door she was holding open. Once we were inside she picked up Reena's arm and looked at it, "It's too late now she needs to have it amputated or it will kill her." She motioned for me to pick up the girl and carry her to the room they did operations in, she took Reena's coat off of her and examined it further, "You need to leave the room sir."

"I can't just leave her here alone, if she wakes up she will probably panic." I retorted.

"Kanda… I guess the gate took something after all… it just wanted to make me suffer for it…" She said clearly in pain. I was surprised that she could speak.

"Shh… Just sleep Reena, I will be here." She listened and closed her eyes as Pinaco put the mask over her face and inserted the IV.

She gently applied the anesthetic and pulled out the equipment she would need as it took effect. She pulled out a tape measure, measured her arm, and bought out an automail arm, "She will need an arm. This is the best on I have for her." She said laying it down and setting to work.

Reena's POV

I woke up to an aching right arm and looked over, my old right arm was gone, and in its place was a piece of automail. I saw Kanda had fallen asleep on a chair beside my bed while holding my left hand. I smiled around the pain and looked at his face, he looked peaceful for once, not angry or scowling. I got up and gently let go of his hand, I walked out onto the balcony and looked at the stars when I felt arms going around my shoulders, "I'm glad to see your awake, Reena." Kanda whispered from behind me, "How do you feel?"

I leaned back into his arms, "Better now," I said turning to face him, "Thanks for staying with me." I whispered quietly. 'Thank you… for everything Kanda… worrying about me, staying with me, protecting me,' I thought quietly as the sun rose above the horizon.

A/N

Reena: Auto-mail really? You must be obsessed with Fullmetal Alchemist

'That and blue exorcist… Have you seen my profile…'

Kanda: Yeah… she hasn't yet figured out how to buy her own automail arm at least…

'But I have a replica of the Kurikara sword from blue exorcist now!'

Edward: Please review.
