Chapter 7: Return of the Sin

"You mean there's something else beyond the Gate?" Al asked incredulouse.

"Yes, and that is where I'm certain Edward was sent," Izumi sighed then leaned back against the head board of her bed.

Alphonse sat in silence trying to process the now impossible task ahead of him. 'If brother was taken beyond the Gate then how am I supposed to get to him? And even if I was able to get to him how would I get back?'.

For awhile they sat in silence, both thinking hard on what to do next.

Then Al stood, "Thank you teacher, I have discovered what I needed," and then headed for the door.

But before he left Izumi warned, "Alphonse, the Gate takes what it thinks is equivilant. Bringing Edward back could be suicide. Don't be so eager to give up his sacrifice.

Al paused then said, "I will remember teacher, I will not throw anything away,".


Edward was squished against the wall of the closet panic clawing at his throat. 'It's too late to use alchemy now she'll see the flash,' he thought despratly trying to find a way out.

Too late. The crack between the two doors widened, bigger and bigger. Finally the door was thrown open.

The girl stood there, staring straight into Ed's eyes, Edward was staring right back.

"AHHHHH!".

The girl screamed and backpedaled wildly.

"No...no please I'm..I'm not..." Ed never got a chance to finish as the girl's arm lashed out and a hot stabbing pain stiot up from his upper right shoulder.

This pain was incredible, even worse then the slashes he got from the gate. He slumped back into the corner, coats falling onto him.

The world dimmed before Ed's eyes, 'No come on don't black out, not now!' But it was no use, the world grew fuzzy and dimmer even more. The only thing Edward was really aware if was the girl was still in the room and something hot and sticky was flowing down his chest. Right before Ed lost conciouseness a strange thought crossed his mind.

'What is it with me getting slashed today?'


Jess realed backwards and lashed out at the boy who was staring at her from inside her closet. He felt her pocket knife bounce off something hard, then penetrate something soft. She let go of her knife and backed up until she tripped backwards onto her bed.

Jess felt tears well up in her eyes and fear bubbled up, choking her. She cried and curled up in a ball on her bed no knowing what to do.

After about five minutes the tears ceased and Jessica was able to calm herself enough to sit up and think. She looked over and to her disappointment she could still see black boots sticking out of her closet.

"It's okay just relax, I'll just go and call the police and this creepo will go to jail and I'll be fine," she told herself and slowly slid off her bed so that she sat on the floor. She scooted to the right when her foot knocked against the boy's boot sticking out of the closet.

Jess flinched but she stared at the guys. Then her eyes landed on the dark puddle that was spreading across the floor. A shudder ran up Jessica's spine, 'Hell no! did I kill him?'.

Indecision clouded her thoughts and guilt filled up her heart. "Dang it why am i so caring!" Jess grumbled, shying away from what she knew she should do.

But she stood then slowly ent over, next to the boy. She gently grabbed him around the ankle and pulled him out of the small closet. Jess almsot gagged at what she saw. Her small pocket knife was sticking straight out of the boy's shoulder and a dark stain was spreading across his black shirt.

She quickly let go of his leg and it hit the floor with a surprsingly heavy thud. Then she crouched by his side.

He looked about Jess's own age, had blonde hair that surprised her by being long enough to tie back into a braid. He was wearing, black pants, boots, and a black long sleeved shirt. He definetly was unconsiouse and his neck and face were also covered in drying blood.

Jessica ripped the boy's shirt at the neck so that it reveiled the blade of the knife. She then got back up and rummaged through her desk drawers and brought out an old, but untouched first aid kit. She went back over and slowly pulled the knife from the boy's shoulder. Jess fingered it delicatly as if it had some sort of disease. She then took a sanitzed wipe and dabbed at the place where the blood was still fresh.

"Odd, is there a piece of knife still in his shoulder?" Jessica noticed that there was still the glint of metal in the boy's shoulder. She widened the rip in the shirt then drew back.


Ed felt like he was floating on water, going back and forth, back and forth. He opened his eyes to see he was sitting in a totally white space. Then a pain in his shoulder made him look over, there was Envy snarling at him. But then the pain wasn't just in his shoulder it was everyhere. Edward looked down at his chest and saw a gapeing, bloody crater.

"I never did like being replaced,".

Ed's eyes flew open and he gasped in breath. The pain in his shoulder throbbed but the pressure of the knife was gone. He looked up and saw that he wasn't looking at the insdie of the closet but the ceiling covered with many posters.

He tried to push himself up but his right arm moved jerkily and sluggishly as if it were rusted.

A small whiny sound caught Ed's attention and was shocked to see that the girl that had stabbed him was sitting only a few feet away. She raised a finger and pointed at Ed.

He looked down and saw that his long sleeved shirt was ripped and exposed his automail.

"Your...your arm..." the girl stuttered, "Your that guy from the fight,".

Edward nodded trying not to frek this girl out any more then she already was.

"So your arm...it...it really is metal?" she asked quietly.

"Yes,".

The girl was silent, just staring at her shaking hands.

"Then how come you're bleeding?" she finally asked.

Ed blinked surprised at the change in her personality. He reached over and ripped off the rest of his sleeve then took off his glove. so ho full arm was reveiled. He winced as he finally saw what had happened.

Apparently the knife had bounced off the shoulder plate of his arm then had been buried almost between the metal and connective skin.

"Okay, it's not that bad...uh-oh," Edward started to say.

He had tried to move his arm but the jerky movement of his arm had gotten worse. 'She must have severed or damaged something with that knife. CRAP! If Winry finds out about this she'll kill me!'.

"What's wrong, is it really seriouse?" the girl asked her eyes very big and filled with worry.

"Umm...well the wound itself isn't bad but...something is wrong with my automail,".

"Auto-what?"

Ed forgot that they had never seen automail here, "My arm, that's what it's called," he explained.

"Oh..." was the only responce.

An awkward silence followed, where Edward suddenly became very interested in his shoe laces.

The girl finally sighed ,"Do you want to bandage that or just to bleed to death?" Ed smiled at the hint of sarcasim.

The girl handed him the bandages, still a bit wary of his automail.

Ed started to life the hem of his shirt but then stopped.

"Do you have a bathroom or something?" he asked.

The girl nodded then sat up, Ed struggled but did the same. She then led him down the hall and probably to the smallest bathroom that Ed had ever seen.

But it was good enough. He closed the door behind him and looked in the small mirror. He suddenly felt very bad for whoever this girl was. Ed was a scary sight to say the least.

His face was scratched and his chin was covered in drying blood. His hair was messy, knotted, and had bits of mud in it and the blood staining his side didn't help either. 'I must look like an animal to her,' he thought.


Jess waited outside the door, her thoughts whirring around like bees. 'First this guy shows up and kicks those ganster's butts before they could even touch him then disappears. I find his coat and it has this weird exploding notebook then he shows up in my closet like a stalker. Then I end up stabbing him in the shoulder and do something to his auto arm or whatever it it,'.

There was a bang and muttered curses then some more bangings. "What the hell are you doing?" Jess turned and opened the door. She didn't mean to sound angry but it was coming off of her stress.

She walkied in to see that the boy was sprawled in the bath tub, without his shirt, his arm caught in the shower curtain. Also to add to the comedy the waste paper basket was hung iver his botted foot.

"Would you like some help?" she couldn't help but smirk.

"...yes...".


Before Ed arrives in New York City-

Envy woke with a start, the whiteness that always had surrounded him was still there. But he stood and turned to see the gate coming up growing bigger and bigger.

It's doors opened and fear entered the hommonculi's eyes.

"No I'm not going back through there, NEVER!" he yelled, trying to turn and run.

But the doors opened and the black tendrils caught up to him and tugged him through.

He saw the bright light ahead of him, Envy closed his eyes as he went through but opened them to see that he was in a whirlwind of spinning lights. Then suddenly the lights stopped spinning and a voice echoed in his head, HE IS HERE!

Envy knew who HE ment, it had to be Hohenheim and he had to kill him.


Rin: OOOOOOOO...mysteriouse!

Ed: You just love torturing your readers huh?

Rin: No I love my readers that's why I do cliff hangers and mysteriouse endings to keep them coming.

Envy: Ya well if you keep at the pace you're going you'll never been done.

Rin: Thanks that make me feel SOOOO much better! But I really am sorry for not up dating sooner.

Envy: Hey chibi how about you come here so I can kill you too!

Ed: I WILL GIVE YOU HELL YOU PALM TREE!
