Chapter 14
Here with me always.
"Harada-san pass the bread," Edward said to Riku as he ate some of his soup.
"Say please next time jeez, Edward-kun.." Riku scolded as she passed it to him.
"Sorry," he said sheepish as he took it from her. "So you used Alchemy with out a circle?"
"Yeah that's about it." Riku said as she bit into her bread. "I just thought about it and acted on my own will...When that thing attacked Winry I acted out of Winry being in trouble."
"That's it then!"
"What's it?" Riku asked as she looked over at Alphonse who had jumped into the conversation.
"The stone like you said gave you some power, that has to be it," Alphonse nearly jumped out of his chair as he ended his theory.
"I did say that didn't I?" she smiled. "Well, I have to learn how to control it."
"I'll teach you, Harada-san," Edward said as he finished his bread.
Riku looked over at Edward and smiled, "Thank you, Edward-kun."
"Hey Riku want me to make Daisuke a plate?" Winry asked as she put her spoon down.
"Would you?" Riku smiled.
"Of course, I'll do it!" Winry said as she stood up. "I'll be right back with the bowl."
"Harada-san we'll start your practice soon!" Edward stated as he smirked at her across the table.
"Okay Edward-kun!" Riku said standing up walking into the kitchen.
"Here," Winry said as she handed Riku a tray of soup and bread. "Tell Daisuke to feel better for me okay?"
"Okay, thanks a lot Winry," Riku put on a smile and turned around. "Be back everyone!" she announced as she walked towards the stairs and started up them.
"You know what, Harada-san has changed," Edward stated as he looked out the window.
"How?" Winry asked as she sat back down across from him.
"When I first met Harada-san and Niwa they seemed, what's the word," Edward thought for a moment. "A bit weak and fragil but when I look at them now they, well they have changed so much."
"Have they really changed that much?" Winry asked him as she put her hands under her chin.
"More then we'll ever know." Edward smiled. "Niwa's feelings seemed hidden from Harada-san before we met him. I guess the adventure there in changed them some."
"You have a point right there."
Edward looked over at Winry blinking. "What?"
"Daisuke's feelings, they show when he was around her," Winry stated standing up. "And you also told me you, well, loved me."
Edward looked away hiding his blush. "I did didn't I.."
Winry went around to his back and hugged him. "Yeah, and I'm so glad you did!"
"Dai, are you awake?" Riku asked poking her head into his room.
"I'm awake." he said as he sat up rubbing his eyes.
Riku smiled and pushed open the door and walked over to the bed. "Here you go."
Daisuke blinked then smiled taking it, "Thank you."
Riku sat down as Daisuke bit into the soup. "It's so good!"
"I made the soup." she said sheepishly, rubbing the back of her neck.
"Well that makes it even better," he said smiling at her and putting the tray onto the side table. "What happened Riku?"
"What do you mean?" she asked looking up at him.
"I was dead, I felt it so how come I'm here?" Daisuke asked her as he turned his head around to her.
Riku swallowed hard, "We brought you back, you were at the gate but..."
"What is it?"
"It's nothing," Riku said looking away.
"No, tell me." Daisuke said as he looked up into her eyes. "Please."
Riku sighed how could she resist him? "When you came back to this world the stone went into me, and the alchemic circle that is used for it is now, well on me," she put a hand over her chest. "And Dante wants me and the stone even more."
Daisuke didn't say anything he pushed off his blankets and went around to Riku's back wrapping his arms around her. "I'm sorry, Riku.."
"Daisuke, it's...it's okay maybe the stone inside me was meant to be." she said as she hugged his arms.
"I'm here with you always, don't forget that.."
