Hi again! Long time no see, eh? Sorry this chapter took so long! It takes me longer to think of stuff for my angsty stories. Well, here's chapter 3! Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER-THINGY!

I DO NOT OWN FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST OR ANY OF ITS CHARACTERS! Ido, however, own the character Sakura, and the character Kaiyoko belongs to, you guessed it, Kai! I ALSO DO NOT OWN THE SONG 'Kesenai Tsumi' BY NANA KITADE!

It had been two weeks.

Sakura Okutama lay semi-conscious on the white patient bed of the Rockbell's home. Red, Blue, and grey wires jutted out of her shoulder and leg, while a whirring machine sent tiny volts of electricity to the nerves which the wires were connected to. Her sister, Kai, sat by a big maple tree outside and glanced into her sister's room.

So many thoughts were racing through the young girl's mind. "Why is she doing this?" "Is it almost over?" and more often "I hope she's okay." The younger sister walked over to the window of the room Sakura was in and peered inside. She shuddered at the sight of multicoloured wires protruding from her sister's limbs. "I'M going to look like that next..." Thought Kaiyoko as she glanced at what had once been her left arm.

Two weeks had given Kaiyoko Okutama plenty of time to recover from the failed transmutation, and had given her plenty of time to think as well. Time to think about what was going to happen after they were both fully rehabilitated.

One day while Sakura was sleeping Winry had told Kai about the Elrics.

"Two months ago the Elric brothers, Edward, who's now 12 and Alphonse who's 11, left here about a year after they made the same mistake as you and Sakura", Winry had explained.

Kaiyoko wasn't sure what to say. "You mean..."

"Yep, they tried human alchemy, and failed, just like you two."

"What happened to them?" Said a still-shocked Kai.

"The older brother, Ed, lost his right arm and left leg; the same as Sakura" She poked her thumb at the room that the older sister was sleeping in. "But the younger brother got the worst of it. He lost his entire body."

This really seemed to shock Kai. "How did he survive if he lost his whole...!"

"Ed...sacrificed his right arm to save Al. He attached his soul to a suit of armor that was nearby."

"You mean he performed a soul transmutation!"

Winry nodded.

"But...but thats impossible!"

"I guess, for Edward, there's no such thing as impossible.." Winry said. "Anyways, for a whole year Edward was in that same room that Sakura's in now, going through the same thing that she's going through."

"Its ironic really..." Came the voice of Pinnako from the doorway. "That two months after they left, you girls fell into our lives."

"Well, you didn't exactly fall into our lives. I mean, we knew you guys before this whole mess anyways." Said Winry.

Pinnako nodded. "But its especially ironic that once again, were having to make an automail arm and leg for a pipsqueak. I think Edward may have actually been taller than Sakura!" She said, chuckling.

"And.." Winry's voice turned sad. "Edward never cried once during the surgery. He thought he didn't deserve to..."

"Just like Sakura..." Kaiyoko finished.

After a moment of silence Pinnako said "Edward, on the other hand, decided to get automail so that he could become a state alchemist."

"But he's only 12! That'd be like Sakura saying 'Well ta-ta now, I'm gonna go be a state alchemist, and while I'm at it down a bottle of vodka!' "

"I know its highly unlikely, but a State Alchemist came to our house he very night that those boys tried to do a human transmutation and said that If Edward wanted to become a state alchemist he should come see him in Central." Said Pinnako

Suddenly a raspyvoice came from the surgery room. "What was...his name...?"

"Sakura!" They all cried

Winry and Kai rushed into the room. "What...was the name of the state alchemist..?" Sakura asked in a tired voice.

"We didn't even know you were awake Sakura! And why do you want to know what the guy's name was, huh?" said Winry. "You guys wanna leave us too! Thats all the state does! It just keeps taking away the only people I care about!"

"Just tell me...what was his name?" Sakura asked again.

"Sakura, whats the deal huh? You deciding to be a state alchemist now too! You can't just..." Kai's words were cut off.

"You really are just like him." Said Winry "You're just like Edward. You want to just run off and leave!"

"I don't know what Sakura wants to do, but no matter what we do we'll never truly leave you." Said Kai

"...We aren't going to leave you..." Said Sakura "Now, tell me the name...of the State Alchemist dammit!"

Winry stared at the two girls, speechless. She knew that once Sakura had her mind set on something, she couldn't be swayed. She really is just like Ed...I wonder if she'll ever meet him... thought Winry. "Ok, you want to know his name?" She said and lifted her face towards the two sisters.

"Lt. Colonel Roy Mustang"

It is said that two people traveling the same path will eventually meet.

Two souls intertwined, two paths crossed, two people sharing the same fate...
