TM: Gomen'nasai! Gomen'nasai! Gomen'nasai!

Kai: You forgot to update for THREE WHOLE MONTHS! You're a complete IDIOT!

TM: I so, so sorry! It won't happen again! On with the story.

Kai: TM is still too much of an idiot to own FMA

TM: HEY!

Ed's POV

I was halfway through reading a book on the history of chimeras when the sound of laughter reached my ears. I followed the sound to find Kai and Al playing with Nina who was riding on Al's shoulders.

"Whoohoo! Way up High!" Al chimed, bouncing up and down.

"Al! Kai! What are you doing you're supposed to be reading!" I yelled at them pointing an accusing finger.

"Well I thought Al could use a break. And I knew that I couldn't get you to stop reading even if I tried." Kai answered back crossing her arms. "And besides I never started reading anyway."

"What do you mean you didn't start reading?!"

"Well someone told me to wait outside. I got bored"

"Well in case you've forgotten we didn't come here to play horsey…" The moment I finished that sentence I was once again tacked by that stupid dog.

It sat on top of me while licking my face. Of course Kai was on the floor laughing her ass off as usual.

"Alexander says that he wants to play too." Nina chimed from her place up on Al's shoulders.

"That's what you want is it?" I said getting out from under Alexander. "You've bested me twice dog, but play time is over. I WILL NOT LOSE THIS TIME! I EDWARD ELRIC WILL USE MY CONSIDRABLE POWERS TO VANQUISH YOU! YOU MANGY MUTT!" I screamed before chasing the dog.

This caused Al to sweat drop, Nina to giggle while Kai was laughing even harder.

Kai's POV

"Hey Chef! Your ride has arrived!" Havoc called out while walking into the library.

Only to find Nina petting Alexander who was on Ed again, and me laughing my ass off, again.

"What are you up to down there Ed?"

"Well let's just say I'm taking a break from a long day of research." Ed groaned before standing up.

"After all that you must be dog tired." Tucker chuckled behind his hand at his own joke. "Why don't you come on back tomorrow?" He suggested

"You're really going to come again?!" Nina asked Al and me happily.

"Well play so more tomorrow. OK Nina." Al replied

"OK!" Nina exclaimed.

The rain was bucketing hard. As in really hard. But I couldn't feel the cold drops on my skin, and my clothes remained dry. I was standing in the middle of the street, though I couldn't really see anyone. Looking around I eventually spotted a man walking down the street. His skin was dark, contrasting his bleach white hair. He wore long black pants, and a white shirt that was covered by a yellow jacket, all of his clothes had white crosses on them. On his face was a large X shaped scar which was partially covered by a pair of dark sun glasses. He was soaked to the core. I watched as he walked past. Behind his sunglasses I saw anger in his eyes, also hatred. As well as sorrow or maybe it was… guilt?

Once he was past I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. His eyes, they made me scared of him and feel sorry for him at the same time. I watched as he rounded another corner and left from my sight, hopefully for a long time.

Curious, I turned to see where he had come from, then my heart dropped. Through the pouring rain, I could see the outline of the Tucker residence standing proudly at the end of the street. The guilt in his eyes. Did he..? No! He couldn't of!

I immediately ran towards the house. In fear something may have happed to its occupants. When I reached the gate however I froze. Lying in the entrance of the gate where two military officers, dead. Their blood surrounding them mixing with the water from the rain. I clasped my hands over my mouth holding back tears as I took a step back trying to stop myself from screaming.

This was a dream. I knew it. No. It was one of my visions. Of the future. These soldiers were going to die no matter what I did. All my visions so far ended up coming true. I didn't matter how hard I tried to stop it, it always came true.

No longer being able to look at the two I clamped my eyes shut. When I opened my eyes I looked at the house in front of me and once again my heart dropped. The front door was open. The scared faced man had been in the house. Nina!

I rushed for the door and squeezed through the tight opening. I frantically searched the house, but as most of the door where closed I couldn't check every room. As I turned one more corner to check the last room I stopped. My breath was heavy as I looked at the door, which was wide open. Fearing the worst but hoping for the best I slowly made my way to the door. I was nervous of what I was about to see. But I knew that if I was to wake up from this nightmare I had to look inside. As I got close to the door I clamped my eyes shut. Spinning on my heel I faced towards the room and opened my eyes. I was shocked at what I saw.

In the middle on the room was Mr Tucker. Lying on the floor, dead, just like the soldiers outside. He had a look of horror on his face. Beside him was a four legged creature. It was also dead. Its light fur was stained with blood and its longer brown fur on its back was trailed behind it also tinted with blood.

"Kai… Hey wake up!"

My eyes flung open and I shot up straight. That vision. Mr Tucker was going to die!

"Are you alright Kai?" I looked to my right to see Al kneeling beside my bed, his arms outstretched a little as if to support me if I fell.

I stared at him for a while, trying to put my mind at ease. "I'm fine Al. Just a nightmare." I told him putting on a fake smile.

I had never told the brothers about my visions. I was sure that they would probably think I was crazy or something. I couldn't explain my gift but I had learned to accept it. Sometimes it helped me and I was able to do some good because of it. But at times like these, it felt more like a curse. To know someone was going to die and you couldn't save them. It was just cruel.

"If you're sure." Al reluctantly replied standing up.

"Hey what's for breakfast?" I asked out of the blue, of course I was just giving him that extra reassurance that I was fine. But really I was struggling not to tell him about my vision and break down crying.

"Did I hear something about food?" Ed mumbled as he sat up in his bed rubbing his eyes.

"Honestly Edo. Is all you ever think about is food?" I ask him with a hint of humour in my voice.

"No." Was Ed reply, I laughed at his sour attitude.

Unknown to me, Al had spotted a small tear prickling in the corner of my eye.

Al's POV (I haven't done Al's POV yet so I thought I'd give it a shot.)

As we walked to Tucker's house, I watched Kai walk in front of us. She may have pretended to be fine but I could definitely see that she was not. Her walk was as not as proud as it usually was. And when she had first woken up her eyes held not only fear but a great deal of sadness. Like she had dreamt of something she hoped she never really saw.

"You seem a little out of it today Al. You alright?" Brother asked snapping me out of my thoughts.

"I'm fine." I looked at Kai to check if she was out of earshot, she was. "I'm a little worried about Kai."

"What about?" Ed seemed a little surprised, he obviously hadn't noticed anything.

"This morning she had a dream. I could tell that it was a nightmare by the way she was twitching in her sleep. When I woke her up this morning she was a little out of it but insisted that she was ok."

"Well if it was just a nightmare then don't worry so much Al. She may look and act like a kid but she is definitely strong. You should know that." Ed reassured me with his trademark grin.

"It's not just that. She has had loads of nightmares before. And judging by how she always wakes up there always bad. But this one is affecting her more than the others. I can't help but wonder what their about? There is something else I noticed…"

"We're here!" I heard Kai yell as she pushed open the front gate. She stopped for a split second before she walked into the yard. I looked down at my brother and saw that this had gone unnoticed by him.

What I wanted to tell my brother was that her nightmares always occurred a day or so before a fight, or before something important happened. He also was suspicious of the fact that Kai often turned up, helped them and somehow knew what had happened before she got there. She was of course careful of what she said but she would sometimes slip. There was obviously something she wasn't telling them. But I didn't want to believe it. So I never confronted her about it.

Kai's POV

"Your Mother left two years ago." Al asked looking up from the book he was reading.

It was latter in the day and we were all sitting in the library talking, my main goal of course was to get my mind off of my vision.

"Daddy said she went to live back at her parents' house." Nina told us from her place leaning against Alexander.

"Wouldn't you get lonely in this huge house with just you and your dad?" I pondered.

"Not really. Daddy's so nice. Plus I've got Alexander to play with too." Nina explained while hugging her dog. "But lately Daddy's been studying in his lab all the time. I guess that does make me kind of lonely."

I looked at her with saddened eyes. I knew that she was soon going to experience something that would leave her without her father. She would most likely go and live with her mum. But she would be so heart broken.

I was startled when Ed suddenly closed his book, stood up and yawned. "My shoulders are killing me." He complained rubbing his right shoulder while moving his arm around.

"Maybe you should try to move around some brother." Al suggested

"Yeah not a bad Al." Ed agreed before pointing to Alexander and exclaiming. "Hey you mangy mutt! Looks like you could use some exercise."

"Let's go to Nina." Al agreed closing his book.

"Yeah! Let's go!" I exclaimed standing up smiling brightly, once again putting on my happy face despite my mood.

Nina looked at us confused for a moment before smiling brightly as well.

The moment we stepped outside I reached over and gave Ed a little tap before exclaiming "Tag! Your it!" and running away, Nina and Al followed my lead and ran away from Ed as well.

"Hey! That's not fair!" Ed complained but ran after Nina, who was riding on Alexanders back.

Nina giggled as Ed chased her around the yard. Al and I stood to the side and watched them. "I'm going to get you!" He yelled.

For the rest of the day the four (five if you count the dog.) played and played. Ed and Al's intention was to cheer up Nina, but they had done wonders on my mood as well. In the end we had to leave. My vision was completely forgotten.

I scowled up at the sky as we walked towards the Tucker residents, it was grey and it obviously was going to rain. It was going to happen that day, I was sure of it. Tucker was going to die. We are probably going to find out later and Nina is going to move to live with her mother. I was sure that was what was going to happen.

"What's with the face Kai?" I heard Ed ask.

"It's going to rain and if Al gets wet he will rust." I told him continuing my scowl. I had gotten good at acting and coming up with excuses on the spot. (Mainly used when I did a prank but this sort of thing worked too.)

Once we reached the house Al rang the bell and we waited for an answer, none came. My stomach dropped. I had a bad feeling.

Al opened the door and called out inside. "Hello Mr Tucker. Thanks for having us again today." But once again no reply came.

As we walked through the house Ed and Al called out to The Tucker family but we couldn't hear any other noise but the calls and our own footsteps. I on the other hand was trying to figure out what was going on. Did he already die?! It didn't rain last night. And if there was a murder here there would be MPs everywhere. So where are Mr Tucker and Nina?

We eventually found Mr Tucker in his office. "There you are. So you are home." Ed said. I was still on edge, Mr Tucker's face was shadowed and he look kind of creepy.

He turned to face us. "Yes. I did it. I finally did it. A chimera that understands human speech."

I eyes went as wide as dinner plates when I saw the chimera. It was the creature that was beside Mr Tucker in my vision.

"Here let me show you." He offered before turning back to the chimera. "Listen to me. That person over there, that's Edward." He informed the creature.

"That person… Ed-ward." It spoke in a rough voice that sent chills down my spine.

"Yes! That's very good! Well done!" Tucker praised placing his hand on the creatures head.

"That's amazing it can actually talk!" Ed gasped kneeling down beside it. I thought it was impressive as well, but something wasn't right.

Tucker laughed standing up. "Now I don't have to worry about giving up my certification."

The chimera turned its head to Ed before speaking once more. "That person Ed-ward."

Ed stared at the thing in awe, but I was honestly a little scared. It's eyes where empty, sad, and held pain. I hated those eyes.

"That person Ed-ward. That person Ed-ward. Big brother Ed."

The moment those words left its mouth I froze, and realisation dawned on me, and by the look in his eyes I could tell Ed had come to the same conclusion. Both of our eyes widened out of both surprise, anger, and a little bit of fear.

"Mr Tucker when did you first get your state certification?" Ed asked.

"Let's see… it was two years ago." Tucker informed him.

"And when did your wife leave you?"

"That was two years ago too."

"I just have one more question for you… Nina and Alexander… Where are they?!" Ed turned to Tucker with an angered look, Al gasped finally catching on to what was going on. While I just stood there staring at the chimera in front of me.

That can't be… He wouldn't of… to his own daughter…

"Dam Brat figuring it out so quickly." The moment those words left Tuckers mouth Ed charged at him and used his flesh arm to pin him to the wall.

"Brother!" Al responded in surprise.

"Oh Yeah! I figured it out! You did it again! Two years ago it was your wife! And this time you used your own daughter and her dog to transmute a talking chimera!"

That was it. I couldn't hold it together anymore. Once it was actually said there was no way of getting around it. My legs gave out under me, and my body began to shake with tears.

The rest of the conversation went by in a blur. I was too busy trying to calm myself down to pay attention. After what felt like forever I felt Nina nudge me with her nose. "Why are you crying?"

I looked up at her for a second. "I'm sorry." I muttered before wrapping my arms around her neck and hugging her.

"Don't cry. Big sis."

That was it. I let go. To hear Nina utter that name while in that form was all it took and I cried into her neck.

TM: OMG! I got sooooo into writing this chapter about half ways through. It's like almost 3000 words long. LONGEST CHAPTER YET!

Kai: Though it ended on a sad note.

TM: I know TT-TT I was crying by the end…. I felt like putting one of Kai's visions in there. And I added the fact that Al is a little suspicious of what's going on with Kai's nightmares because he can't sleep, therefore can see when Kai has one and probably was beginning to draw connections. But Ed is a little too hot headed to notice.

Kai: got that right!

TM: I'll see you guys next week… hopefully
