Transmutation Seven

Tuesday PT 1: The Non Expected Guest

"There are leftovers in the fridge if you get hungry or want to snack on something, and if you get bored, I have some cat toys upstairs for you," Roy said with a smirk. He put on his military hat, chuckling as Edward glared.

"I'll be home after lunch, and if I see something ripped to shreds, I'm not going to go easy on you." the man opened the door and walked outside, then paused. "be a good li'l kitty when I'm gone, okay?" he said in a high-pitched voice. He shut the door.

And Ed couldn't believe he thought Roy was cool before he even got to know him.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Ed sat on the couch, glancing over to the clock every minute.

9:05

9:06

9:07

The neko growled. He never knew it would be so hard to sit still doing nothing. Ed's mind wandered over to the cat toys Roy had upstairs.

No! the boy yelled in his mind. I. . . I won't. . . can't make. . . ARGH!.!.!A few minutes later, Edward held a rubber mouse in his hands. He eyed it with curiosity. The neko boy squeezed it once, and the mouse squeaked.

Ed blinked, and squeezed it again. Squeak.

The neko boy let out a laugh, and squeezed it several more times.Squeak. Squeak. Squeak.

He never knew this would be so amusing!

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

After several minutes, the doorbell rang. Ed looked at the clock.

11:32

It couldn't be Roy, unless the meeting ended early. . . NAH. Roy would never ring his own doorbell. . . unless he left his keys on the desk. Which could mean he could keep him locked outside the house!

Ed looked on Roy's desk in the bedroom. No keys. Darn.

Maybe it was a visitor. The teen walked downstairs, and just when he got to the bottom, the person began banging on the door. It was a familiar clanking sound, like metal against wood. . .

The neko boy let out a girly gasp.

"EDWARD ELRIC! OPEN THIS DOOR, NOOOOOOOOW!.!.!.!" a child' voice yelled.

"It's Al. . ." Ed wheezed. He was going to die. Or worse, if Al saw him like this, he could sufficate him with a hug. . . Oh well. He'd rather sufficate with a hug.

"ED! IF YOU DO NOT OPEN THIS DOOR, I WILL BREAK IT DOWN!.!.!" Al yelled in the most angriest voice ever known to man. Ed unlocked the door, and opened it by just a crack.

"A-Al. . .?" he asked, a hint of fear in his voice. He winced when he saw his younger brother, a hollow suit of armor, glaring down at him, with glowing red eyes. Ed could feel heat radiating from the steel, and if Al was a human right now, his hair would be flaring up, and he would be baring fangs no one knew he had. Even if he was armor, he still looked like a demon.

"H-Hey, Al. . ."

"DON'T 'HEY AL' ME. . ." the younger sibling growled. "BY WHAT KIND OF ACTIVITIES ARE YOU DOING WITH THE COLONEL, BROTHER. . ."

"No-Nothing!" Ed said. He didn't notice Al had made his way into the house. He did notice, however, that Al didn't notice the older brother had cat features.

"HOW SHOULD I BELIEVE YOU. . .?" Edward saw the hair-like thing on Alphonse's helmet suddenly burn up in flames. He twitched. If he didn't have an explanation soon, he'd end up like that as well.

"Well, you know how much Mustang likes to tease me and all that," the teen explained quickly. "and also, I did kinda made him mad that day, so he decided to play a prank on me and all that. . ."

"IS THAT SO. . .?" Al asked, a sign of doubt in his metallic voice. Ed nodded.

"Okay, Brother, I better be going!" Al suddenly stopped looking all demon-ized, and the hair-like thing re-appeared on his helmet. "the train's gonna leave soon! Love you!" he waved and left.

"Heh. . .heh. . ." Edward stood for a moment, and then fell to his knees in shock. He couldn't believe Al just believed him. He could have died right there!

The neko boy took a deep breath, and looked at the clock.

12:05

Several more minutes until Roy got home.

Ed realized he forgot to eat, and went into the kitchen to grab some grub.
