"Blah" Speech. Blah Thoughts

..xxXXxx..

What do you mean: gone?

They entered the office, and found Mustang buried under a mountain of paperwork with Hawkeye standing at his side watching him do his work AKA baby-sitting him.

"Hey you: Mustang!" Ed stepped forward. "I want you to do some researching for me!"

..xxXXxx..

"What is it, FullMetal?" Mustang replied grumpily without looking up (not that he would be able to see anybody XD) from behind the towers of paper that where surrounding him (yes, he can recognize Ed, cuz Ed's the only one who'd speak to him like that ;D)

"I wanted you to look for information 'bout these three girls in the missing people archives or something." Ed said.

This time Roy did look up, but didn't see anything but the piles of papers around him (see? Told ya so xD) so he stood up and walked round his desk.

When he saw Kiara, he was just going to have a nosebleed, but he was (with a great effort) able to prevent it.

Mustang cleared his throat. "Well, first I need your names." He said to the girls.

Ryu, who was with her arms folded over her chest and leaning against the wall, answered indifferently "Ryu"

Hoshi let go Al's hand (he let out a sigh of relief ¿o.O?) and placed them in front of her and a small bow towards Mustang. "My name's Hoshi" She said grinning under her 'mask'.

Kiara then stepped forward. She stood in a quite sexy pose, with her hands on her hips. Her mouth widened to a seductive grin, increasing slightly the 'sexy girl' effect. "Hehe, my name's Kiara."

This earned Kiara a slight glare from Hawkeye, and Roy blushed madly. He turned his back towards them to hide it andwrote down their names on a random paper.

He cleared his throat. "So, can you three tell me where are you from?" Roy turned towards them with no blush on his face.

There was an uncomfortable silence of 5 minutes, and then Ryu coughed.

Al broke the silence. "Erm… Well... The problem is…" He shifted uneasily. "That they don't know where they come from."

There was even MORE silence, and, mysteriously, the wind blew and a person all dressed in black was crawling on the floor making a tumbleweed roll by. (O.oU)

Everybody sweat-dropped. Yeah, Hawkeye, Roy and Armstrong included if you thought they would NEVER do that. EVER.

"You're telling us they don't know where they live or used to live?" Hawkeye inquired.

"Em… Yeah, well that's what we wanted to ask you, if you could find from where they come from" Ed scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

…

If there had been crickets, they would have surely cricked.

"Full Metal, you do realize that just having their first name just complicates this case even more, and it wastes a lot of my time?" Roy said in a tone that only a mentally retarded would have thought it wasn't annoyed.

He was just going to tell them to get out of his office, when he felt a tug on his long jacket. Roy looked down to find a dead-cute-puppy-eyed Hoshi kneeling at his feet.

"Please Mister Mustang, can you please look for what Mister Edward is asking you? I wanna know where I am f-from, because if not I feel very l-lost." She seemed to be on the very verge of tears.

Now, only a mentally retarded with a heart colder than the North Pole itself would have said no to those eyes. And we all very well know that Roy isn't a mentally retarded with a heart colder then North Pole itself… or at least I hopeit's his heart what we're wrong about XD (j/k)

"Em…" Roy was at a loss of words. He just KNEW he couldn't say no to her. But on other hand he just also KNEW he was going to waste a lot of his time. He let out a heavy sigh. "Fine, I'll do the research." Hoshi got happy beyond description here. "But FullMetal's going to help me with it."

Ed was just going to argue but Roy cut him short. "It's that or nothing."

Ed then hmp'ed but still agreed. "Fine"

Hoshi then stood up and skipped towards Al. "Ok then, FullMetal, we're starting now."

"Right now?" Ed yelled. "But I've haven't even got my breakfast! AND somebody's got to take these somewhere!" He said pointing at the girls.

Roy went again to his seat and said from behind the papers surrounding him. "Your brother can take them to your room, if it isn't TOO messy, and then we'll give them a room of their own. For now, we must do the research. Let me remind you that you were the one who asked for this"

A pair of veins popped on Ed's head but still turned to look at Al and told him to take them to the room. Al obeyed and took the girls out of the office.

When they had got out, they saw Izumi outside fuming, with her husband at her side trying to calm her down and Ryu would have betted anything that she heard a sizzling sound coming from somewhere.

"M-master, is something the matter?" Al asked, scared of what his terrifying teacher would do to him when she was in such a mood.

Izumi glared at him with such anger that you would have thought she would be able to pierce him with Super-man laser beams, but of course she can't because even if she can do cool alchemy she TOO lame to have laser-beam-eyes.

"Master… Why are you so angry?" Al said again.

Izumi started twitching furiously, but then stopped and burst out. "HOW DARE THOSE GODDAMNED MILITARIES, YOU-"

Blood coughing fit.

Husband gives Izumi her medicine.

Izumi calms down.

Super-man flies in the background… wait, where the HELL did HE come from? Draco-san blows him up with a bazooka. "Hehe…" –is evil-

Anywho, let's forget the randomness and get on with the story.

"Phew, can you tell me what's wrong Master?" Al was getting tired of trying to get Izumi to tell him what the hell was wrong.

"Hmp, I told you, it's none of your business." Izumi answered. "And what are doing with these three, and where's Edward?"

"Well, Brother had to stay with Colonel Mustang to help him the research he asked for. And I'm taking the girls to our room until we find something to do" He sweat-dropped.

"Well, I say we find something to eat, my stomach won't leave me alone" Ryu said. "Yeah! Great idea!" Answered Kiara and Hoshi in unison. Izumi rubbed her chin and then said she was hungry too.

So they all went to a random restaurant and they all ate, except for Al for obvious reasons. They all ate normally except for Kiara, who asked for a very juicy steak and (as you may have guessed) sucked all its juicy-ness and when she had finished the steak was left like a raisin. Everybody looking at her was like: O.o

When they finished, they all went to Ed's and Al's room, yeah even Izumi cos while everybody was looking at Kiara's—curious—way of eating, Al whispered into Izumi's ear asking her if she could stay with him to watch over them because the were TOO freaky and he was scared.

Some hours go by…

So, now they're all in the Elric Bros' room, doing the following: Ryu was lying on one of the beds looking up at the ceiling with her arms crossed behind her head and one leg crossed over the other.

On the other bed, Al was sitting and enduring an annoying Hoshi who was trying to convince him to let her read his future. Kiara was kneeling and staring out of the window. And Izumi was sitting on the sofa while his husband had gone to buy her medicine.

As we see, they were all totally bored out of their minds.

Kiara broke the half-silence "Maaaan, I'm totally bored outta my mind"

(Ain't I always right? I love myself)

(Super-man: That's because you're the authoress, and you're the one writing the story, DUH! –Kills Super-man with kryptonite- MWAHHAHA!)

So, anyways, now that Super-man is /again/ out of the way, we can get on with the story! So they were bored…

Kiara then flopped on her back and stretched her arms. "There's nothing to do here, I want to get out." With that, she opened the window and was just to get out.

"W-wait! What do you think you're doing?" Al got up and grabbed her by the arm.

"What do you think I'm doing?" Kiara's black wings sprouted out of her back again. "I'm getting my ass outta here!" She tried to escape from Al's grasp.

"But you can't go! You must stay here or you'll get lost in the city!" He grabbed her arm more firmly.

Ryu seemed to get interested, and looked from the ceiling to the fighting people beside her. (Yeah, I just remembered Ed and Al's room has the beds and couch in one room, and not two different one) And Hoshi changed from her childish behavior to her full-grown-16-year-old AKA she stopped fooling around with her cards and started to pay attention.

"Let GO!" Kiara yanked her arm but still Al was clutching her strongly.

Ryu then got up from the bed and stood up. She went to the open window and spuatted on the window sill, grabbing the border as to not fall. She looked back at them and smirked. "Goodbye losers."

She was just going to jump out of the window when Izumi got catch of her foot and pulled her in again.

"You won't get going anywhere, you brat!" She hollered at Ryu. The she noticed something. Ryu's bandages had been loosened up when Izumi had pulled her in and underneath the bandages there were… "Scales?"

Yes, scales indeed. Light bluish silver scales reflected the light like tiny mirrors. Ryu's eyes widened considerably and quickly tightened the cloth.

She tried to get out of the window again but Al blocked her path while also grabbing a struggling Kiara who was now trying to fly away. Ryu pushed him out of her way with no problem at all, and making him stumble and let Kiara go, who flew out of the window at the speed of light.

Izumi once again grabbed Ryu, only this time by the forearm. "You won't get away until you answer a pair of questions, my friend!" She tried to pull her in, but Ryu kicked her hard in the stomach and sent her flying against the couch.

"Master!" Al run to where Izumi was lying, blood trickling down her mouth, half-conscious.

With effort she clapped her hands together and laid her right hand on the ground. Rock vines sprouted from the ground and caught Ryu.

The look on Ryu's face wasn't the normal expressionless mask she always wore. She now looked as if she was a wild animal in desperate need of escaping. She waved her arms frantically and then grabbed the rock that was preventing her from moving and broke it into chunks.

She kicked at the rest and them jumped out of the window, a wide grin printed on her face.

An enormous cloud of dust had been lifted from the ground. Al half-expected to hear Hoshi sobbing loudly out of fright, half-hoped she would just stay there silently, which wasn't very likely.

But there was total silence.

That's weird Al thought.

Then, when the dust cleared, there was no Hoshi sobbing. Or sitting on the bed. Or even in the room. But there was a grappling hook poking from the outer side of the window sill. Oh no…

Al left Izumi, who was now unconscious, for a second and poked his head out of the window and looked down. A swirl of purple robes could be seen, and then it disappeared into the dark alleys of the city.

"Oh God, oh God!" Al exclaimed. He was just going to get into a fit when he remembered Izumi. He got her up and put her onto one of the beds.

"What will Brother say when he finds out…" Al muttered to himself.

Just then, the door was slammed open and in came Ed.

"God, it was just time for him to let-me-go…" Ed stopped dead on his tracks. There was his room, with half broken rock things poking out of the floor, everything a mess, Izumi lying unconscious with Al beside her, and… Ryu, Kiara and Hoshi were missing.

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED IN HERE!" Ed recklessly screamed.

"Well, hum, the girls are gone…" Al answered.

"What do you mean: gone?" Ed asked angrily.

"Well…They were bored and they tried to get away but Master and I tried to get them to stay but they still got away and now they might be lost in the city." Al said.

"Dammit, those girls are surely a pain in the ass." Ed rubbed his forehead. "Well, we should get them back, or they'll create mayhem and destruction all over the city by looking at what they've done."

Al stood up. "Well, yeah." He then looked down at Izumi. "But who'll take care of Master?"

Just then, Izumi's husband arrived from buying the medicine. Wow, talk about perfect timing.

"Wow, you're just in time! Here, take care of Master while we go and take care of those girls!" Ed said and got out of his room with Al leaving a very confused Izumi's-husband behind.

They stood outside of the building, facing the rest of the city.

"Well, Alphonse, this is where the chase begins."
