Chapter 11

Automail Morning Part 1

"Only if you really knew what I went through having nobody and everyone just call you the Girl of Death! Nobody gave me the respect that I wanted," Tagrio yelled, "So Yuukie how about you back off because I'm not here to give my life story, I'm here to fight Ed and not hear anything from a little person like you Yuukie!," she sighed and folded her arms together. "Then have it your way, but Ed won't fight, will you?," she said turning to Ed with innocent eyes. Ed looked at her and tried to look away, but his gaze met hers, he sighed, "No...I won't fight you Tagrio," he said turning to her. Yuukie smiled. Nanali sighed and said, "Good thing too, Envy was coming after her...if I couldn't stop him he would have...and please no fights...I'm really not in the mood to get in the middle of another...".

"You won't, because Ed isn't gonna fight," Yuukie replied, Ed walked over to Yuukie and picked her up again and turned to leave back to Winry's place. "What a waste of my time I came all this way just for the Fullmetal Alchemist to surrender...what a pity," Tagrio said and she grabbed her backpack and walked back to her house, "Oh and Ed if you're going to chicken out again let me know ahead of time".

"I didn't want to say 'no' but Yuukie asked me not to," Ed replied.

Nanali face palmed, "You know it's not smart to start fights with people," she sighed heavily, "Wait up, Ed-kun and Yuu-chan," Ed looked at Tagrio and sighed, "Next time," he told her, before they turned to leave Yuukie kissed Ed quickly and pulled away, Ed was blushing a deep red. "So thats it your just gonna let Yuukie control your life?," Tagrio asked turning around to face him, "I don't let anyone control my life, I make my own decisions," she told him with a smirk.

Nanali started thinking while walking behind the two, "Oh god, this sounds like trouble, shit is about to go down, maybe I should just take a nap and forget about the world...," Nanali yawned as she stretched. "That's what I thought," Tagrio said, she turned back around and walked back to the train station, "What a joke," she growled.

"She only wants to see that I'm okay, and right now...it's best if I care for her and help with her rehabilitation when she gets her automail, I'm no use if I'm injured," Ed explained. "I get that you have no one who cares for you, but Yuukie cares about your safety as well, she wants you to be safe," he said once more as he looked at the girl with sad eyes.

Tagrio stopped dead in her tracks, "I wish I had someone like Yuukie," she said, "Your lucky Ed...," she continued as tears began to flow down her cheeks. Yuukie told Ed to take her to Tagrio, which he did, "Tagrio?," she said once she was close enough to see Tagrio. "Yuukie what are you doing here?," Tagrio asked turning around before getting on the train, "Can't I say bye to someone I care about, I may not show it but the people I met, including you, I care a lot for, please be safe," Yuukie told her and gave Tagrio a lopsided hug.

Tagrio's eyes widened, "I will," she told Yuukie and hugged the younger alchemist back, "Next time I tell him to stop the fight is when I won't be helpless like I am now and I'll think twice before making him stop," Yuukie promised. Tagrio smiled slightly, "Call me next time, and you all can come to central to have dinner," she told them. Nanali could only sigh and rub her eyes as she yawned again and murmured, "I'm tired of being a body guard at the moment I'm gonna go take a nap okay?".

Ed nodded and waved as Tagrio left. He carried Yuukie back as best he could without dropping her because he was tired. Nanali followed behind them, she was still drained from fighting Envy for so long, mainly because it was boring. Ed looked behind them at Nanali, "What's wrong?," he asked her. Nanali yawned at wiped under her eye where there was a cut and then smudged the blood, she yawned again and said, "I just fought Envy, I'm really tired," she explained. "Oh, sorry to hear that...why was he here?, "Ed asked.

She yawned again rubbing her eye again smearing it more unnoticeably to her and said yawning, "He wanted to go after Yuukie, and attacked me on my way walking he began asking where she was...and well he's now in a block of ice that can only be broken two different ways...,"she explained to them through tired eyes. Yuukie had fallen asleep in Ed's arms, "Why did he want her?," Ed demanded.

Nanali kept rubbing her eye again, her hand was there the whole time and then she dropped her hand down showing a huge smudge of blood on her face. She yawned again looking as if she was about to pass out and said, "I-I don't remember, I'm too tired to answer anymore questions...ask me later.".

"Oh crap I forgot," said Tagrio she sat in the train and called the Central City Building, and watched as she saw Ed, Yuukie, and Nanali pass by while she looked out the window.

Ed sighed and took out a rag and wiped to blood from Nanali's eyes the best he could while holding Yuukie.

When the train finally reached Central City she ran off the train and stopped in front of Coronel Mustangs office, "Okay," and she walked straight into his office.

Ed laid Yuukie down and placed a cover on her when she fell asleep soundly; he sighed then sat down next to her and fell asleep.

"Well what's the point?," Tagrio said talking to herself as she walked to an abandoned house.

Nanali walked into the room with food for the three of them and laughed a bit she said, "She's asleep, I'll just leave her food here...and we can eat then...and don't say no, when was the last time you ate? I of all people know it's horrible not to eat, you can't keep your strength up and its harder to do everything...". Ed woke up and sighed then laughed, then took the food from Nanali, thanked her and began to eat, "I'm surprised she was able to go back to sleep," Ed commented.

Nanali laughed starting to eat the food too and said, "Me too, maybe she's just lucky enough she has someone great in her life who can support her like that huh? Or maybe she's just lucky who knows...". Ed laughed, "Maybe she's just lucky," he replied, "Well I'm done, I'm going to sleep what about you?," he asked her. Nanali said, "I think I'm gonna go visit Mathew or something, maybe just go for a walk, enjoy the sleep...," she said while eating. "Alright," Ed replied, then he laid his head against the ground and went to sleep.

Nanali nodded and finished her food, she washed the dishes and put a blanket on Ed, and then went off to Mathew's house.

~next day~

Ed woke up and found the blanket on him, he looked around confused at where it came from, he got up and stretched, Yuukie had not woken up yet. So he went outside for a few moments to get some air. Nanali had fallen asleep coming back at her place late at night. Her and Mathew had fun just hanging around but she was still tired. She got up from her bed and stretched then got out and opened the door now walking towards the kitchen.

Ed sighed and waited for Yuukie to wake up, he looked around for Winry. Nanali then looked around and then peeked her head out to Ed she said, "Hey by any chance do you know what you want for breakfast? Or anyone else?," she asked with a slight cheery tone.

"No not yet, I'm waiting for Yuukie to wake up," he called back to her.

Nanali nodded and said, "Okay then...I'm just gonna go with pancakes then...,"she told him and walked back to the kitchen. Ed nodded, and then turned around because he heard Yuukie call for him he gave a slight smile and sighed and got up and headed in Yuukie's direction.

Nanali started to make pancakes.
