Chapter 5

His birthday and their deaths with his soft cry

In a few days it would be Kiyo's birthday. He was attending school at Resembool Elementary School.

Four day after the first day of school Kiyo came home late. He looked like he took a beating from hell.

"What happen?" Ed asked.

"Nothing I tripped that's all," Kiyo answered. Winry was cleaning his face off.

"What happen?" Ed asked again.

"None of your business," Kiyo said. Winry put band- aids on his face and hugged him. Kiyo ran from Winry and out the door. 'No one understands me! No one!' Kiyo thought. He ran towards Al's house. 'Nope can't go there' he thought.

"Kiyo! Kiyo!" Ed shouted as he looked for his son. Ed was near the high school. "Damn it! Where the hell could he be?" Ed asked himself. On the football field there were three older boys picking on a young boy. "Hey, that looks like Kiyo. Kiyo!" Ed shouted. The younger boy looked up at Ed with an angry look in his eyes. One of the older boys punched the little boy in the stomach. The other two joined in. Ed ran down and stood there.

"Is he another student? He looks like he goes to high school with that height," the first boy said.

"Leave now. I won't tell your parents," Ed said. The boys laughed. The one charged at Ed with his fist in a ball. Ed dodged and kicked the guy in the gut. The boy passed out. The other two ran away. The little boy stare at Ed. The boy charged and hit Ed in the gut. The boy clapped his hands together and put them on Ed's stomach. Blood started coming down Ed's mouth. "Who are you? How do you know alchemy?" Ed asked.

"Your death bed is waiting," the boy said. The boy had a killer look at that moment. "The last blow to kill you," The boy said. He jumped up and hit Ed in the face with his foot. Ed fell unconscious. The boy ran away.

Winry was near the river looking for Kiyo. She had better luck than Ed. Winry noticed a boy sitting on the riverbank. She walked up and sat beside the boy. The boy was crying.

"What do you want?" the boy asked. Winry knew who it was.

"Nothing. Kiyo, don't be to hard on your Dad," Winry answered. Kiyo looked up.

"Yeah right!" Kiyo said " Maybe I'm not part of the family! Maybe my real mo-" Kiyo didn't finish because Winry pulled out her wrench and smacked him across the head. He rolled down the riverbank into mud. He was unconscious.

"I'm sorry. You should think before you speak," Winry said.

Winry's POV

I picked up Kiyo after I hit him with my wench. He looked like he was sleeping cross between a dazed look. I was crying.

"Ed, where are you?" I asked nobody.

End of Winry's POV

Ayumi was at home waiting for her parents to return. Ed came home first. He looked like a demon swallowed him and spit him back out.

"What happen to you? Did a demon pick a fight with you and won?" Ayumi asked.

"None of your business," Ed answered. He walked to his room. Winry came next holding Kiyo in her arms. Kiyo looked like a 4-year-old at that moment.

"Let me guess. You hit him with your wrench?" Ayumi asked. Winry gave no answer. Kiyo was placed on the couch and Winry walked to her room. Ayumi dropped the subject and went to bed. She hopped on the chair near the door and fell asleep.

Around four a.m. Kiyo woke up.

"Ayumi, stop playing with the heater," Kiyo said. Flames were burning down the building. "Ayumi-" Kiyo began as he sat up. The flames surround Kiyo in his eyes. "Ayumi! Ayumi, get up, now!" Kiyo shouted. Ayumi stirred and woke up.

"Kiyo, go back to b…" Ayumi started. Kiyo wasn't realizing what he was doing. He had grabbed Ayumi's arm and ran for the door.

"Ayumi, go get the fire department. I'm going to get mom and dad," Kiyo said. Ayumi was pushed out the front door by Kiyo.

Ayumi's POV

Kiyo shoved me out the door as he ran back into the fire. I took off towards the fire department in Resembool, but I heard sirens as I ran. Another fire was burning at Uncle Al's house.

"I must retch the fire house before it's too late!" I shouted to myself. I ran on.

End of Ayumi's POV

Kiyo's POV

The flames had burned my real flesh and put markings on my automail. I had retched my parents room but saw no one was there. I ran to my room and Ayumi's room still no one. I was tired and burned bad.

"I must find them," I said as I ran towards the mechanic's room. My mom was there asleep in her chair. I shook her awake. "Mom, go outside, now!" I shouted over the crackles of the flames and noises. She dashed out without a second thought. I went back to looking for my Dad. I ran to the attic. The attic was filled with books, old toys, and pictures. As I ran I saw two pictures on the floor. One of my grandfather's family and the other one of my dad's family. I stuck them in my pocket and ran.

"Someone! Help!" I heard my dad shout. He was stuck under a empty bookcase.

"Dad, I'll get you out," I said as I tried to lift the bookcase up. I used blood that was coming from my hands because of the flames to draw a transmutation circle. The alchemy caused the bookcase to turn into dust. My dad stood up.

"Let's go!" He shouted as he started running. I ran after him. He ran fast then me so he was a lot farther than me. He ran out the door of the house as the flames made the building collapse.

End of Kiyo's POV

Winry watched as Ed ran out and the house collapsing.

"Kiyo! Why didn't you grab him?" Winry asked. The fire had died down. In the ashes something moved. Kiyo popped out if the ashes. His face and other body parts were bleeding.

"It hurts! Everything hurts!" Kiyo shouted. Winry was so happy she forgot Kiyo was burned badly and hugged him. "Ouch! Please stop hugging me," Kiyo shouted as he began to cry. Ayumi showed up.

"Dad, Uncle Al and Aunt Nelly died saving Freddy and Teddy, who are now in the care of the hospital for burns," Ayumi said not noticing Kiyo.

"What! What do you mean dead!" Kiyo asked as he forced himself to walk towards Ayumi. Ayumi was shocked. While this happened Ed was crying too soft for anyone to hear.

"They died in a fire like you," Ayumi answered. Kiyo froze.

"Wh-What are you talking about?" Kiyo asked.
