Thank you, thank you, thank you for the reviews! I'm so happy, I'm so happy… People actually LIKE my work! Sorry, I freak out a lot like that. Anyway, here's a little more. Enjoy and keep up those reviews!
Also, another stupid side note: This time, I'm listening to Evangelion's "Cruel Angel's Thesis," or the beginning theme song, for those who don't know. FYI, I'm finding these songs off of Ichigo's Sheet Music. Go there; it's cool! Also, don't be afraid to use semicolons! Semicolons are GOOD!
Chapter 2
"Dammit… Al? How are we going to find the cause of these explosions if they can be seen from several towns over? Finding this person or people is going to be like trying to find a needle in a frickin' haystack!" Ed collapsed on the concrete sidewalk.
Now his forehead and nose were bleeding, but he couldn't care less. He just wanted to get the stupid mission out of his head and go to sleep. Al picked up his older brother by his arms.
"Stop treating me like a cat!" Ed yelled as he squirmed his way out of his sibling's grasp.
Al sighed and said, "Brother, stop procrastinating. We really should get to work on this, you know," and tried to pick Ed up again. Ed rolled over onto his stomach.
"Just five more min- oof!" Someone had actually tripped over him. Soon after came a little girl's wails and a shout from a woman.
"Umeko! Umeko! Are you okay?" A woman wearing a crimson shirt and a very, very long crimson skirt to match it shoved Ed to the streets.
Rather ticked off about a stranger shoving him and scraping him even more, he shouted, "Hey, what the hell was that for?" The woman reached into, yes, INTO her skirt, pulled out a fan, and smacked Ed clear across the face, all without even having to look at him.
She cooed to the crying girl, "It's okay, it's okay. We'll get you all bandaged up as soon as we get out of here." Another girl ran up to the woman in red.
"Elk? Is Umeko going to be okay?" she asked. The woman smiled.
"Yes, Sakura, Umeko is going to be okay," she replied. Ed stared at the woman in red.
He stuttered, "Elk? A-are you r-really Elk?" The woman looked and smiled at him.
She said, "Well, if it ain't Edward Elric. How long has it been?"
