After the Battle (An FMA Story) Chapter 44: It's All Coming Back to Us Now
"Never mind." Kitty stuttered and walked out of the building and sat on a fence. "Why did I do that? I mean, I couldn't have just stabbed him or something, I had to do that." she said to herself, for perhaps the first time in her life feeling guilty for something. She just stared up at the stars.
Nina awakened,"...D-Daddy?? Daddy w-where are y-you?" she stuttered out. Silver moved out of the way so "Nina" could see him. Nina got up and stumbled over to her dad," Oh D-Daddy." she stuttered hugging him," Nina. Over there is your new Nanny. You'll be staying with her for now on." Tucker whispered," O-ok D-Daddy. W-will I b-be able t-to come s-see y-you?" she stuttered," No Nina I will be gone for a long time." he whispered. He lifted his paw-hand and put it against Nina's cheek," My darling Nina..." he whispered," D-Daddy." Nina stuttered putting her hand on her "Fathers".
Kitty stirred a little then eventually fell asleep and fell to the ground. She began mumbling in her sleep. "Silver...Ed...Al...please...don't go...don't leave me here...alone..." she kept on repeating that for hours.
Silver turned into her wolf form. "Nina. You need to go with her now." Tucker whispered. Nina nodded and climbed onto Silver," I l-love y-you d-daddy." Nina stuttered." I love you too Nina." Tucker whispered. Silver took off with the girl on her back. She reached the inn and looked at Kitty. She turned normal and lifted Nina off her back. She lifted Kitty up and bought her inside to a room and laid her down on a bed. There were two other beds in the room. Silver picked up Nina and tucked her into bed. Silver went to the last bed in the room and laid down. She curled up and fell asleep.
Kitty continued to mumble for a while and after about an hour woke up screaming. "NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she shouted in a cold sweat then looked around and took a deep breath. "It was only a dream..." she said to herself, but couldn't seem to fall back to sleep. She then looked over at "Nina". "N-No...It can't be...!" she said to herself shocked.
Silver woke up when Kitty screamed," What is it?" she asked yawning. Nina woke up," D-daddy?" she stuttered, "No Nina he isn't here." Silver said. "Oh y-yeah." she said falling back to sleep. Silver smiled.
Kitty hugged Silver. "Oh thank god you're still alive!" she said then pulled herself away. "It was probably just a bad dream...sorry..." she said and trailed off.
"Its ok." Silver said and smiled," oh and um that girl over there...well...is a homunculus but a good one. Her name's Nina. Shou put me in charge of taking care of her."
"child to chimera to homunculus..." she said and sighed. "I feel sorry for her." she whispered and walked over to Nina and stroked her hair. 'is it even possible?' she thought but just smiled warmly.
Silver looked at both of them," I feel sorry for her too. But Tucker told me something wonderful." she said remembering what Tucker had said about the boy.
Kitty looked up. "...he's capable of something like that!?" she said sarcastically. "I never knew that even possible, wow!" she then stopped and turned serious again. "Ok, so what'd he tell you?" she asked.
"Ok, I asked him if there was a boy with the homunculi and me when they brought me to him. He said yes! The homunculi left him with Tucker. Tucker turned him into a fox chimera kinda like me. The only thing fox showing on him was a fox tail!" Silver said happily," that means my brother is still alive!"
Her eyes lit up. "Oh, Silver, that's terrific!" she said smiling, "I'm so happy for you!"
Silver's tail wagged," Only thing is that I have no idea where he is..." She said.
Kitty sighed heavily. "aw man, so close, yet so far...but, at least you know he's alive." she said deep in thought.
"Yeah." Silver said. She yawned and laid back down. She curled up and shortly after fell asleep.
Kitty nodded and then looked outside. she climbed onto the roof and fell asleep. The sun woke her up at about 6. "Elycia..." she groaned. it's early, turn the light off, it's bight..." Kitty stirred for bit and then finally woke up. She got on the edge and jumped off and started roaming around town.
Nina woke up and got up. She ran over to Silver and jumped on her bed," W-wake up! I-its time to w-wake up!" she stuttered happily. "Ok ok yawn I'm awake." Silver said getting up," Hey where's Kitty?".
Kitty wandered around. She was looking for something, she wasn't quite sure what it was though. 'It'll come to me.' she thought and shrugged then continued to walk.
Someone watched Kitty from the shadows. "I'M H-HUNGRY!!!!" Nina yelled. Silver flinched," Ok ok You don't have to yell!" she said.
'maybe silver's brother is around here...I think she said his name was Chris...' she thought and continued to walk.
The person hopped up onto a building and walked across the roofs following Kitty.
Kitty stopped suddenly, a chill ran up her spine as she turned on a dime. She looked around to see nobody, but the chill wouldn't leave. "Why do I get the feeling...that something dangerous is stalking me...?" she said to herself then began running as quick as she could behind every back street and ally. "I'm sure...to lose it eventually..." she said trying to convince herself.
The person ran after Kitty not letting anything get in its way.
after about 5 miles or so of running (into every nook and cranny) at her top speed, Kitty's legs collapsed beneath her and she fell to her knees and looked around. She was sweating and panting heavily. "I...should have stopped...at the last place I saw...but NOOOOOOOOO! I had to keep running!" she said to herself, exhausted.
The person stood on a roof top next to Kitty. In the sun the person could be seen clearly. "You ok?" he asked jumping down from the roof next to Kitty.
Kitty turned around quickly to see him. A chill ran up her spine again. "Ya I'm ok th..." she cut herself off. "Why were you following me anyways?!" she asked angrily. "I mean really, I don't even know you!" a certain fire seemed to be burning in her eyes, not with as much intensity as they did when she was about to kill someone, but still a small flame nonetheless.
The boy looked her over,"...I'm sorry I was. I just thought you were someone I know." he said mournfully.
Kitty raised one eyebrow. "Well, most people do know me, not in a good way or in person, but ya, I wont go into detail." she said and looked up. "Who were you looking for anyways? I travel quite a bit, chances are, I've seen them." she said gently and had finally gathered enough strength to pull herself off the ground.
"She's a girl and is my sister. Her names Gin Fuyutuski. So, have you seen her?" he asked.
Kitty thought for a moment. 'Gin, I don't know anyone by that name do I know and Fuyutsuki's?' she thought. "Fuyutsuki, Fuyutsuki...the name sounds familiar to me for some reason...but I just can't...I just can't place it..." she said to herself then began to remember Silver and envy on the island. 'Envy: and do you remember our what our last name was? Silver: Yes, Fuyutuski. Envy: And do you remember what it means? Silver: Winter Moon' Kitty's eyes widened. "Wait...YOU'RE Chris?!" she said, her jaw dropped. "Ya I know her! Follow!" she ordered grinning uncontrollably. 'Oh, I've found him! You 2 can finally be together! Well...he found me but that's beside the point! Oh Silver, I can't wait!' she thought running back towards the inn, taking the main roads so it wasn't as time consuming.
Chris ran after Kitty. He ran up next to Kitty," Hey, how did you know my name?" he asked confused.
Kitty just smiled in a know-it-all fashion. "How could I not?" she said in the tone of voice to which she usually used for dealing and walked into the inn. She walked up to the man. "Hay, have you seen that other girl I was with yesterday?" she asked him.
"Um...yeah. She's up in you and her's room. The little girl kept saying she was hungry so the girl came down here and got breakfast for her." The man said. Chris looked at Kitty confused. He did have a fox tail. It kinda twitched but swayed.
"Thanks!" she said then turned to Chris. "Come." she said happily and ran upstairs and stopped outside of their room and out her hand up against the door, making a dozen glass roses and handing them to Chris. "Now, wait here." she said and walked down the hall a little and bursted in through the door, her eyes sparkling. "Oh Silver!" she called out hyperly, and tauntingly.
Chris looked at the roses. Silver looked at Kitty," What is it Kitty?" she asked.
"I have a surprise for you!" she said grinning uncontrollably. "I'm sure you'll be happy to see what I've brought, after all, you've wanted this moment for a very long time." she said hinting.
Silver's eyes lit up," What is it?" she asked excited. She hoped Kitty was talking about what she was thinking she was talking about. She smiled warmly. "are you ready to meet your brother?" she said and pulled in Chris. "I'd introduce you 2, but I'm pretty sure that you know each other." she said, smiling kindly.
"Hi Gin." Chris said warmly. Tears came to Gin's eyes. She got up and walked to her brother. She touched his face. He put his hand on Gin's. Gin started to cry. Chris hugged her comforting her. He kissed the top of her head," Sssh. Don't cry." he whispered. Gin just continued to hug him crying. "T-thank you so much Kitty..." Gin stifled out while crying.
Kitty smiled warmly. "Your welcome." she said as she walked over to Nina and picked her up. "We'll leave you 2 alone now." she said and took Nina out of the room. She set her down. "Now Nina, I have someone for you to re-meet too." she said softly. 'god she reminds me of Elycia for some reason.' Kitty thought.
