Chapter 9
"Saya, do you know how to fight?" Izumi said running down the street. "Yes, why?" Saya asked wondering how much trouble the brother gotten in that she will have to fight. "Depending on the situation I might need your help." "Ok" "Were almost there." Sig said pointing to the bar down the street. 'I hope he isn't too badly hurt.' Saya said picking up speed. "Sorry for barging in like that!" Izumi said kicking down the door. "Teacher!" Ed said shocked. "You damn idiot!" Izumi yelled throwing an unconscious man at Ed. "You think it's funny to not put the broom away! I asked you a question!" "No! I'm so sorry!" Ed said not moving from his spot on the floor. "Thanks for your hospitality. He needs the exercise." Izumi said to Greed. "Teacher, careful he's a homunculus!" "Yes, I know. I hear the two of you down the hall." "Give me a break. Don't tell me you gonna start anything, are you lady?" Greed said not in the mood for another fight. Izumi's reply was grabbing his head and using alchemy to weaker the heard then kicked him, sending him into the wall. "Ha-ha, well now just what the hell are you?" Greed asked Izumi. "You asked what I am." Izumi said walking toward Greed. "A housewife!" Izumi yelled while pointing to herself. 'She couldn't say something cooler like the housewife who's going to kick your ass.' Saya said walking over to Ed. "Ed, are you ok?" "Saya, what are you doing here? It's dangerous here!" Saya just ignored Ed's statement and touched his side. "Ow, that hurts!" "As I thought, you broke one of your ribs." Saya said taking Ed's shirt off. "Saya! What are you doing? You can't do that here!" Ed said blushing. "Relax, I'm only checking for anymore injuries also get your mind out of the gutter." Saya said rolling her eyes. "This might hurt so try to bear with the pain." Saya said placing her hands on the broken rib. "Saya don't! We don't know the side effects of you using the stone!" Ed said grabbing Saya's hands. "I promise you I'll be fine!" Saya said pushing Ed's hands away and used her alchemy. "Saya please stop!" Ed said realizing Saya started to lose consciousness. "I'm almost done." "Saya, my injury isn't worth you losing your life over!" "Good, I finished." Saya said before passing out on Ed's chest. "Saya!" "Ed, what happen?" Izumi ask while fighting Greed. "She passed out from using her alchemy!" "Ha-ha, a housewife, hothead brat and a girl who uses the stone. What a great team this is, but to be honest I'm not interest in fighting you. So I'll just be on my way now." Greed said heading towards the door. "What?" "You coward!" Izumi said then started to cough off blood. This allows Greed to escape out of the door. "Damn, he ran away. What a coward!" Izumi said getting off the floor. "Are you okay teacher?" Ed asked helping Izumi get up. "You idiot! I'm fine; it's Saya you should be worry about!" Izumi said pushing Ed into a wall. "I am worry about Saya!" Ed said holding Saya in his arms. 'He really does care about her, that's good.' Izumi said smiling. The moment was short lived when the military showed up pointing guns at them. "We found the boy, kill everyone else" a soldier said into a walkie-talkie quietly so no one else in the room could hear. "Mister Elric sir, we found your brother but he hasn't woken up yet" one of the soldier said. "Teacher, could you watch Saya for me?" Ed asks handing Saya to Izumi. "Sure" Izumi said heading back to the house. "Hey Al wake up Al!" Ed yelled which woke Al up. "Brother?" "You okay?" "Are you okay? You're cover in blood!" Ed looked away and Al remembered about Marlet only to discover he was cover in blood. "We thought it was best to remove her before you awoke." Armstrong said kneeing beside Al. "I couldn't save her" Al said sadly covering his face. "You can't blame yourself Al. Come on lets go home." Ed said but Al didn't response. "Hold it you two!" Fuhrer said walking into the room. "There are a few questions I like to ask before you leave." This made Ed mad because the Fuhrer might have a part in Saya' condition. "Did you have any past meeting with a man who calls himself Greed?" "Of course not." "Did you trade any information with him?" "Not at all and the military was not mention at all." "Let me make this clear, if you mention any information with him. I have the right to execute you right now. I'll ask again, did you give any information that would end the military?" "No, now can we leave already?" "I am curious about the two of your bodies. Are they connected?" This question shocks everyone that knows the truth. "You really are an honest kid." Fuhrer said smiling and leaving. "All right men pull out. Make sure you take good care of your brother." "Doctor, how is she?" Izumi asked. "She will recover but her heart is under a lot of stress. If this continues she will die within a year." The doctor said leaving the house. "You poor child" Izumi said outing her hand on Saya's head. "Izumi, could you not tell Ed about this." Saya said waking up. "Why not? He is worry about you." "If he knew the truth, he wouldn't let me use the stone and I want to help them get their bodies back." "Alright, I'll keep your secret. Try to get more rest okay." Izumi said leaving the room. "Thank you" Saya said falling back to sleep. "Teacher, how's Saya doing?" "The doctor said she will recover. She just needs to rest for now." Izumi said while hating the idea of lying to Ed. "That's great" Ed said smiling, walking into Saya's room. 'I'm glad you weren't serious hurt. I don't know what I would do if you die. I love you too much to let you die.' Ed said grabbing Saya's hand and falling asleep at her bedside.
