Chapter Thirteen

The group arrived at the department stores minutes later after their automail talk. Winry and Kenneth kept talking through out looking for the supplies needed for school. He helped her pick out the necessities and other things which she might enjoy for school. Ed was getting very upset, even though he didn't know anything about school, after giving her that great show with her automail; she still wasn't talking to him, at least not directly. The group filled the basket with pencils, pens, led, erasers, paper, binders, and other school needs. When it came to picking the backpacks was when Winry began going crazy looking at every backpack she could find. She bounced around saying how cute one was, then just how she had to have another one, Winry and her enthusiasm. Ed shook his head and looked to a red backpack. He picked it up and put it with the supplies he picked out. Al had chosen a navy blue backpack, all they were waiting on was Winry. Kenneth smiled to her and showed her one with the words 'automail junkie' on it. She squealed and hugged it tightly. Ed could not believe that only after about a 20 minute conversation with her, he found her that, Ed was steaming angry!

After they had bought the stuff, of course using Roy's tab, which Ed was taking to his advantage. Ed suggested that they go eat and then Al, Winry and he had to be heading home to sort this stuff out for school tomorrow. Al, Winry and Kagome thought that was a great idea, but Kenneth didn't like it. He said it was okay to go get food but he wasn't ready to let Winry go home, though he didn't say that out loud.

"Let's go eat…" Kenneth said, and pointed to a restaurant a couple ways down. Everyone agreed and they headed over there.

Ed saw that Kenneth was again, talking to Winry about who knows what. That guy wouldn't lay off and Ed didn't like him. Ed walked over to the two of them and smiled.

"I have a question, even though we have uniforms, do you think I'd get in trouble for wearing my jacket?" Ed walked on Winry's other side that Kenneth wasn't on.

Kenneth stared at Ed, "Jackets are aloud, the only thing that doesn't have to be uniform. Yes. Is that all?"

"Yeah, I guess. I just hope you're telling me the truth." Ed walked back to Houjou who he had already asked that question too and got the same answer. Ed sighed. Maybe he is as nice as he acts when he's with Winry. I just got this bad feeling…

When they had all eaten, and had gotten up from the table, Ed again suggested that they should get heading home. When they exited the restaurant, they split into the ways they were going.

"I'll walk you home, Winry." Kenneth smiled, Winry blushed a little. She wasn't used to guys being this nice to her, except Al. But Al was more brotherly nice.

Ed took Al and they began to walk home, leaving the two behind while Kagome and Houjou walked their separate ways. Winry and Kenneth walked slowly to the apartment, he was complimenting her, talking about the things they both enjoyed and always explained something to her when she was confused. She liked how he treated her and how nice it felt to talk with him openly, though she liked how she could talk to InuYasha too. She was so confused with how she felt, but the more she thought about it, she felt more heartbroken though she had not been heartbroken yet. No one had broken her heart for she had never thrown it out there, though it hurt her to know she could feel happy talking to someone openly who wasn't Ed. Wasn't she suppose to be open to someone she'd known all her life, not have it be a secret two-way street. But then she thought that he built it that way so it shouldn't bother her.

Ed and Al were already at home when Winry and Kenneth appeared on the doorstep. She looked to the ground.

"This is where I live…" She looked to him and smiled.

"Maybe sometime I can show you where I live?" Kenneth smiled, "Can I ask you something, Winry?"

"Uh, sure" Winry's body tightened and she found it hard to breathe. She didn't know what was wrong with her; he just wanted to ask her something.

"Winry, will you go out with me, just me?" Kenneth had a weird expression on his face but Winry took no mind to it when she looked to him in shock.

"Uh.. you mean… like a date! I mean, yes yes I will." Winry smiled and hugged him before retreating to the house.

Kenneth smiled and walked away.

Winry walked in looking to Ed and Al on the couch. "I'll be in my room, okay?" She placed her bags on the counter next to her key and walked into her room, shutting the door.
