The Beginning of it...

(Ed, Al and any part of Full Metal Alchemist and are in no way my own)

(Yusen is also Japanese for "Bathroom Fee)

The beginning of this story starts back in Rizenbul City when Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric (when he still had his body) were at the age of 4. As they were playing outside and their mother was inside, a man in a green shirt walked by their house. Alphonse looked over at the stranger and dropped his ball he and Ed or Edward were playing with and it rolled right in front of the stranger. As the ball was rolling at the stranger, he stopped turn and face the oncoming ball and raised his hand. At that time Ed was already running up to the ball. Then Ed and Al or Alphonse saw what seemed to be a odd sight to see. The stranger had put up his hand and a light seemed to coming from his hand. The light can be described as a lighting blue light. When the light was gone Ed looked down to where the ball had been and found only a pile of ash. Al had started to cry and then Ed looked up at the stranger with eyes of hate for make his brother cry and destroying the ball and said, "Why did you do that?!?" Ed grabbed on to the strangers pants leg and was beginning to hit him when his mother call for him to come inside the house. As Ed and Al walked in, Ed gave one last evil glare at the stranger at the foot of the hill. The stranger only seemed to meet his glare and his grey and black hair only wisked in the wind.

When Ed and Al had disappeared from site, the stranger looked down at the ashes and stuck out his hand. Ed was called into the house to clean up his room, and Al the same. As they were cleaning, Ed blasted out, "Al, do you have any idea what that man did?" Al did not respond, he was holding back tears for his mother not to see, and was now crying. Ed then slowly walk up to Al, and whispered in his ear, "It will be alright, we'll get mom to buy us another ball." Al then looked up at Ed and said in a shaky voice from crying, " Thanks brotha."

After Ed and Al had finished cleaning up their room. Ed rushed outside, hoping that the stranger was still outside. When Ed reached the bottom of the hill, the man was gone. He also looked around for the ashes so he could show his mother, but found nothing. As he was heading to the tree to relax and think Al was already there and was laughing. Ed knew Al would still be sad and depressed from losing their ball and run to the tree. When he got to the tree, Al was play with something and the stranger was there too. " GET AWAY FROM MY BROTHER YOU FREAK," screamed Ed as he was running at full speed. When Ed reached the tree, he saw the his brother was holding the ball the stranger had destroyed. Al answered, "Big Brotha, he fix the ball, and his name is Yusin." The stranger to Ed extended his hand and stated, "Hello there young one, my name is Yusen." Ed smacked the strangers hand away and exclaimed, "I don't care who you are, you are a FREAK." Yusen smiled back and patted Ed on the head. "Call me a freak eh? What a nice kid you are." Just at that time Ed mother had come out and with a broom, thinking her sons were in danger, ready the beat the snot out of the stranger. She swong at Yusen and he nimbly dodged the attack. She was getting ready to swing again when Yusen used his right hand and broke the broom stick. She gasped quickly and took the sharp ends of what's left of the broom stick and jabbed Yusen in the chest. The rest of the broom stick split into many pieces. She staggered and fell over. Yusen caught her in mid -air. As Ed, Al, and Yusen were taking her back to the house, Ed wondered if he can really trust this new found guy who was still a freak to him.
