Ikiru's POV

Ed was blushing hard. I looked down at myself. Blue heels to match my blue tie and everything else was white. I touched my angel mark and it began to glow green. The wings didn't pop out, but the angel glow always calmed me down, and since I hadn't calmed from my demon moment in my father's office, it took my all to withhold my temptation of killing Winry.

"What was that?"

"Me calming down." I spun in a circle, not realizing this made my dress go up and flash my panties more. We went downstairs and Granny stared.

"What the hell are you wearing Ikiru?"

"An outfit Daisy and I bought for her the last time I was in Central. You know a few years ago?"

"Who's Daisy?"

"That girl who came by with the short light brown hair and green eyes? With the tall tan man with brown hair and eyes?"

"Oh yes. Why is she wearing it though?!"

"Her clothes are dirty. And I wanted to see her wear it since she's never home." I sighed. Ed was looking away, blushing. I walked over and bent over to look at him.

"Ed? You okay?" The circuitry left of his automail arm twitched. Why did it twitch like that? Armstrong came over.

"Oh the life of passionate love between two alchemists who are childhood friends. It's so beautiful. Almost as beautiful as me!" Ed and I blushed. The fuck!

"The fuck Armstrong what did I say?!"

"I'm sorry. I couldn't help it. Noticing love between two people has been passed down the Armstrong line for generations." Forehead, meet palm. Again.

"T-That's crazy M-Major." Winry and Al got sparkles in there eyes.

"Ed? What's wrong? Are you falling for Ikiru?" I blushed hard as Ed blushed harder than that one time at Pumper's.

"W-What! T-That's c-c-crazy! W-We're just f-friends. A-And that's all w-we'll ever b-be." I bit my lip.

"Really?" He looked at me quickly and with a holy shit face. Not like 'shocked like omg really' but like 'Please don't hurt me'.

"I-Ikiru?" My bangs shaded my eyes. "Ikiru?" I looked up and put on a fake smile.

"Edward's right. It would never happen. We're too close. It'd be like dating Mustang or Alphonse. Besides, how would an angel/demon/human half breed be able to be loved by a pure blooded human. It's crazy. Right Edward?" Everyone just stared at me.

"Iki-"

"I just remembered something I have to do by the river. See ya guys later." And I ran out of the house.

I made sure I made it to the river. I sat there and stared into the water. If I'm right, it should be here? I stood and walked over to the water. Where was it? I looked and looked and finally saw the small sparkle of something that was supposed to be long forgotten.

I waded into the water and dove under to get the object stuck under the mud. I managed to pull it out. It was a tiara. Not any tiara, but the one my Mother had left for me when I was young. I looked at the three gems on it, all three rubies. Just like her eyes used to be.

I got back to the shore and got the rest of the mud off from the tiara. I looked closely at it. It was silver and was small enough for me to wear. I wanted to talk to her. I rubbed the middle gem with my index finger and the tiara began to glow with a red light. A hologram came from it. A woman only an inch or two taller than me with long pink hair and ruby red eyes.

"Hello my child. You look so much like me darling." We were surrounded by a dark cloud. "May I ask what you have called me for? Especially after throwing the tiara in this freezing river?"

"You know I wasn't the one to throw it. It was one of those stupid 'foster family' members." She nodded.

"Oh yes, I remember now. That 'cousin' of yours, right? How funny. What happened to them I mean." I glared. "Sorry, I know you don't like speaking about it." I calmed. "Now, why have you called for me my daughter?"

"Akuma Bradley, maiden name Akuma Shii, one of the most powerful demons in hell right below the devil, I ask for guidance."

"Why not ask God? The angel half of you surely is slapping you silly."

"I asked God already and got my answer. I'm not asking you as a demon, but as my mother. I don't know what to do." My mother laughed darkly.

"You fell in love with a human, of course, like I wanted you too, and yet you are hurt because he wants nothing more. Am I correct?" I nodded. "Stay by him. Continue your adventure with him my child. He will come to fall for you."

"That's the same thing God said."

"Well then. Looks like I'm speaking his words for him again. What can I do? He owns me." I smiled.

"So I continue like nothing happened?"

"Yes. And be careful with those marks you are currently showing off. There are others on your Earth that will cause harm because of those markings."

"I know Mother."

"I don't want you to go through the gate again." I nodded.

"Thank you Mother."

"No problem child. Now, promise me something?"

"Yes Mother?"

"You won't throw the Demon Tiara back into the river." I nodded. "And don't put it on unless you want demons to rise from hell and kill people." I nodded.

"Yes Mother. Thank you."

"One more thing."

"Yes?"

"Make sure that when the time comes your Father dies slowly and painfully."

"Only if I am the one to kill him."

"True. I love you Ikiru."

"I love you too Mother." And the hologram disappeared with the clouds and the tiara went back to it's normal state. I brought it with me back to the house and found everyone was out. I went to my room and put the tiara in the case that it was in originally. I put the box into the safe under my bed. I went to the door and it flew open, Ed on the other side. "Ed?"

"Ikiru!" He wrapped his arm around me. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to upset you and make you cry." He tightened his grip. It was so weird since he only had one arm. I wrapped my arms around him.

"It's okay Ed."

"No it's not! You love me right Ikiru?" My eyes grew. How did he? I tightened my grip and clenched my teeth.

"Why do you ask?"

"Al and Winry told me." I let go and stormed the house, finding everyone in the back most room. Al wasn't fixed, Winry was sitting in a chair whistling and shining her wrench.

"You promised me!" They looked at me and jumped back a bit.

"What?"

"You told him!" I drew my sword and the wings emerged and I was covered with a red glow.

When it receded, I had changed into my complete demon form. My hair grew to my knees and was a much lighter pink. My eyes were red and even my clothing changed. It was a black top that zipped down and would only cover my chest, but it was zipped enough to hold it together, with matching disconnected sleeves. It had matching short shorts and mid thigh boots. My devil wings were out and I had long red horns that curled down in front of my face and had bows on them near my scalp that's color matched my clothes.

I was ready to kill them.

"I-Ikiru! W-We didn't try too!" I swung my sword and a loud 'ting' was heard.

"You promised me that you wouldn't tell Ed that I loved him. You said you'd let me do it when I was ready. And you go back on it? You're despicable." I stepped forward and another red glow came from the floor.

"Ikiru Bradley!" And there she was. My Mother. Again. "What the fuck are you doing?! You are not to kill them!" I glared at her.

"And why the fuck not?!"

"Because you aren't."

"And I'll say it again. Why. The fuck. Not!"

"This is why!" She slapped my right arm and the demon wings and everything disappeared and I fell to the ground. "They are your friends and if you wouldn't have had that episode in here when Ed said you could be nothing but friends they wouldn't have had to tell him. You pretty much told him anyways. They didn't say you loved him. Only that you liked him a 's why he asked. He wanted to hear the words from you." I stared at her and started to cry. "Oh suck it up. You know demons don't do well with emotions." I wiped my tears.

"Sorry Mother."

"Good. Now I'm gonna go. Hide those marks on your arms, we've been through this." And the red glow on the floor returned and she went back to hell.

"Sorry Al, Winry. I shouldn't have snapped like that."

"It's okay Ikiru. Don't worry about it." Winry was a little creeped out and so wasn't everyone else.

"Y-Yeah. We did our best not to tell Brother." I nodded.

"I know. And I'm sorry. I'll be back." I went back to my room and Ed was sitting on my bed. I was about to go in when he started to talk to himself.

"I'm a real idiot. I didn't notice. Ikiru has probably loved me for a long time. And I never noticed. So much for being a genius." I stepped in.

"Edward?" He looked up at me.

"I-Ikiru." I walked over and held him close.

"I love you Edward." He grabbed me with his only arm.

"Even like this. In this incomplete body?" I nodded.

"I love you for you. I loved you before the automail. And I'll love you till the day eternity ends."

"I thought that was impossible."

"It's another way to say I'll love you forever."

"I'll love you forever too then." I looked into Ed's golden eyes. He leaned closer and put his forehead on mine. "Just so you know. I'm going to be more overprotective than usual." I smiled. Then smirked.

"Please Ed. I don't think I need to be saved by someone who's 150 centimeters." He grew an anime vein.

"I'm 152.5 centimeters thank you!"

"Still shorter than me."

"And how tall are you!"

"I'm about 162.5 centimeters right now. Who knows. You might catch up." He growled.

"Ikiru!"

"What?" I swished my hair seductively. Ed blushed. Then smirked.

"You're wearing white you know."

"And?"

"Did you go into the river?" I tilted my head. Then it clicked. I looked down and sure enough, my white dress, and panties were see through. I blushed hard. I looked down and noticed that Ed had a temporary leg till his automail one was remade.

"Ed."

"Yes." I wrapped my arms around him.

"How much are we going to be able to open up to each other? Because there are certain things that I am not allowed to tell you." He smiled his joke around smile.

"What? If you tell me you'll have to kill me?"

"Not me. But others." His mouth dropped to the floor.
