Chapter 9: Just another day in paradise?
After a day of rest, you were feeling just like your old self. You drag yourself out of bed and head for the door. In the living room, Ed and Al were reading some books and drawing on the ground.
"What are you two up to," you ask sitting next to Ed.
"Oh, just practicing," Ed replies flipping to the next page in his book.
"Practicing what?" you ask watching Al draw.
"Alchemy," Al answers. Al claps his hand and place them to the ground. A small doll was made.
"Wow! That's amazing!" you exclaim.
"Well, that's alchemy," Ed says, "it's just breaking down and reconstructing things according to equivalent exchange."
"Equivalent exchange?" you ask puzzled.
"It's basically a fairness thing. If I gave you a hundred dollars and you gave me penny that wouldn't be very fair and it wouldn't even out therefore it wouldn't work in equivalent exchange," Al explains.
"Ah," you say, "Can I try?" Ed and Al look at each other.
"Well, I don't see any harm in it," Ed says putting his book down.
"Yey! How do I start?" you ask. Ed tosses you his book.
"By reading," he laughs.
-One book later-
"Ok!" you exclaim, "I'm done reading. Now what?" Ed tosses you some chalk. You draw the circle that you saw in the book onto the floor.
"Now, just use the laws to convert that floor into a stone," Ed says watching you carefully. You clap your hands and place them onto the floor. There is a flash of light, and when you look down at the circle, a little stone is there.
"I did it!" you shout. Ed and Al stare at you with their jaws on the floor.
"How did she do that?" Al whispers to Ed. Ed shrugs.
"I guess she's an alchemist," Ed answers smiling. You pick up your stone and dance around with it! Ed and Al laugh.
"what's so funny," you ask.
"It's just a stone," Ed replies, "don't get so excited." You stick your tongue out at him.
"Well if you don't want to appreciate it, I'm going to find someone who will," you pout walking out into the yard. You glance up into the sky and see that it's a new moon.
"How pretty!" you say to yourself. You here a rustle in the grass and see a figure trying to run away. It was a boy with long black hair wearing the same clothes as Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha?" you call out. The figure freezes. You run up to the figure and see that is really is Inuyasha.
"What happened to you?" you ask staring at his hair.
"The new moon makes me human," he sighs sitting in the grass. You sit down next to him.
"So does that mean that you're not human?" you ask. He laughs.
"I though the claws and ears might have given me away. No, I'm half-demon," he says laying down. You realize that you're still holding your stone so you place it one the ground.
"What's with the stone," he asks.
"Oh, Al and Ed taught me alchemy. Well, actually a book taught me, but they were there, too," you reply.
"Figures those two would try to teach you that stuff," he sneers.
"What's the matter. Don't like it?" you ask.
"I think it's a waste of time. Hand-to-hand is the best way to defend yourself," he answers pumping his fist into the air. You giggle.
"I only know a little about fight like that," you say copying him. He stares at you in disbelief. "What?"
"Well you beat us up and the park that one time," he replays rubbing his stomach, "I'm still in pain from that kick." You laugh and he smiles.
"I could teach you some if you want," he suggests.
"Really?" you exclaim.
"Yeah sure. Get up," he says getting up. You stand up and he holds up his fists. You copy.
"Ok, first of all, never tuck you thumb in," he says taking your hand and moving so that your thumb it out. You blush like crazy, and Inu continues.
"To me, the best way to throw a punch is to go straight for the face and knock 'em out," he says showing you how to do it. You watch carefully.
"Oi! You two, it's very late come on back in," Ed shouts from the door.
"Ah, be quiet you pipsqueak! You should be out here too learning how to fight," Inu yells back.
"What did you call me stupid mutt!" Ed shouts. They both get into a scuffle, and you head back to the house laughing to yourself. Before you get into the house, however, L stops you.
"Niume… May I speak with you for a minute?" he asks not looking at you.
"Um, sure," you reply. L walks out of the house and heads toward the street. You follow.
"Niume, I would like to apologize for my horrible behavior the other day. I got to involved with case… I'm sorry.." he says not looking at you once.
"It's fine, L. I'm ok," you assure him, but he still away forlorn. You pull him over to a bench and grab his hand. His face turn bright red and he looks at you.
"It's ok, L." you say smiling at him. He smiles a little. You look over into the sky and see something coming your way.
"What is that?" you ask pointing into the sky.
"It's probably a plane or something," L says squinting his eyes to get a better look.
"It doesn't look like a plane," you say jumping up. L gets up, too.
"I don't know what it is but it's getting closer," L shouts grabbing your hand and begins to pull you along. You look closer and realize L is right. It is closer.
"Come on," L yells trying to get you to go faster. A giant blade of wind separates you two. It causes parts of the side walk and street to break apart. You fly over onto a patch of grass, and as you get up, you feel blood drip from your forehead.
"L!" you yell as you search franticly for him. A figure moves closer to you, but you can't make out who they are.
"L?" you shout. When the figure comes into focus you see a women with bright red eyes staring at you.
"You're coming with me," she says.
