It was a very unpleasant day in resenbool, well for Toushirou anyway. It was very sunny, which is not a problem for Toushirou; it was the heat and humidity that bugged him.

As he sat at the table with a fan next to him, he couldn't help but think this was the most genius creation man has ever made. Ed looked at Toushirou and snickered quietly, but with Toushirous keen hearing, he turned and glared at the short blond.

"I see you are not enjoying this lovely heat" he stated as he went to grab a glass of water, and grinned at the young captain.

A white eyebrow twitched in irritation, as he combed his fingers threw slightly damp hair.

"oh yes, so very lovely" he mumbled sarcastically, rubbing his face in irritation. Glancing at the blond he noticed him wearing his usual tight black leather pants, and black tank, only without the jacket and gloves.

"You know wearing something like that might give you heat stroke." He said glancing at the automail arm, and then at the scar rimming it. Ed chuckled lightly as he shrugged off the comment and realized where the boys eyes went to.

"yeah, not a very pretty sight is it?" he said pointing at the metal arm. He smiled slightly at the shocked expression on Toushirous face, by the look of it his intention was not to stare.

"My apologies, I didn't mean to stare" Toushirou apologized slightly embarrassed of his rudeness. Ed just shugged it off as his eyes turned to look at his arm, as his expression became poignant.

" yeah well, that's the price to keep my brothers soul" he lifted his pant leg to show his metal leg. Toushirous eyes widened slightly in shock, not knowing about the replaced leg.

"and that was for trying to bring my mother back to life" he said in a disgusted tone. Toushirou stared at the metal limbs, his expression showed the astonishment.

" so that's why your brother doesn't have a body…and why you don't have two flesh limbs…" The captain mumbled thoughtfully. Ed nodded, but kept his gaze on his arm.

" I realized first hand that the dead should stay dead. And the price was my arm and Al's body." He said fisting the arm. And the look of deep regret crossed his face. Toushirou frowned at the emotion that deemed the blonds face.

"I know it's hard to lose a loved one." Toushirou agreed, as he stood up to get a glass of water. Ed looked at him, eyes holding bitterness that Toushirou hasn't seen before.

"do you really?" Ed questioned almost doubtfully. Toushirou closed his eyes, hiding the emotion that was sure to show.

"yes, she hadn't physically died but the person herself died" He said looking into the shaky reflection of himself in the water. And then the confused look that had twisted onto the blonds face.

"Which to me, seeing her die slowly inside, and then seeing that the person she once was is not there anymore, but still able to see her physical body is the worst thing to see." He said as he looked at the gold eyes, which held understanding, and experience.

"yeah, I see what you mean" he said quietly, leaning back in his chair. The subject he found was very interesting.

"so who is this she? Your sister?" Toushirou shook his head "no, she was my childhood friend." He leaned against the wall he was near. Ed looked at the melancholy expression on his face, as he asked a question that he slightly regretted.

"what happened?" As soon as those words left his mouth anger replaced the sadness, as his face almost literally darkened.

"we where betrayed, and by a man who we least expected. And also by the man who she truly admired more than anyone." Toushirou growled and his anger lessened more into shame. "and by a man I trusted as well."

Toushirou pinched the bridge of his nose, as he could feel a headache in the back of his skull. Hinting to Ed to change the subject, and fast. But instead of him changing it he looked up and figured that it was oddly quiet especially that rangiku had entered the picture.

"oi, wheres Al and Matsumoto?" Toushirou questioned, narrowing is eyes wondering if she was trying eavesdrop onto the conversation. Ed blinked slightly at the suddenness at the question, and tapped his chin.

"oh, I think he took her into central with winery, it think into the shopping district" He said shuddering slightly at the idea of shopping with two women.

Toushirou sighed, scratching the back of his head, feeling slightly sorry for al, knowing rangikus… love of shopping. " do they expect us to meet them there?" he asked hoping that they weren't.

Ed shook his head " I don't think so, I would have gone but, im off of work and I really don't want to a chance to see colonel bastards ugly mug." He shuddered at the thought. But had gotten an idea, as he grinned.

"oi Shirou I don't think you have really gotten out and really seen resembool have ya?" He said, as he felt slightly bad for not taking him out to actually see his surroundings.

"no not really and stop calling me shirou" He ground out as he glared at the grinning blond.

Ignoring the distaste for the nickname he grabbed his shoes and headed for the door.

"Then let us go and get you out of this house you hermit!" Ed laughed at the disbelief on the boys face as he ran out the door.

" OI! I'm not a hermit!" Toushirou said as he ran after him.

Sorry guys that I haven't updated! I just haven't had the time. I'v been sick for two weeks with a fever and I lost so much school work, that I know have to catch up on.

Also im sorry that I didn't put smut in this chapter! What I thought I'd do is get them to know each other, and then build up on the romance as I realized that they knew very little about each other.

And the last thing that I would like to discus in my other chapters I have gotten a lot of hit and runs (which are people who favorite author, story and story alert but do not review) so I am asking if you are going to favorite me please review, it's not hard to do. To the rest I thank you once again and enjoy the chapter!

and as I usually say R&R!
