Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I don't own FMA, but I do own Sachi and Hinode

"Good. That calmed her down." Winry said softly as she laid Sachi back on the bed. "Okay Al. Please look away so I can treat her wounds okay?" Winry said as she started to take Sachi's shirt off.

"Ah okay." Al said as he turned around.

30 minutes later

"Okay Al. You can look." Winry said as she finished putting her nightgown back on. Ed finally appeared out of the shower with a black sleeveless t-shirt and blue boxers. His wet hair dripped slowly onto the carpet.

"Sorry if it took so long...I was so relaxed in there." Ed said as he grinned sheepishly. Ed slowly looked at Sachi. "I wonder where her family is and if they miss her." Ed said softly as he sat down next to Sachi, who was sleeping peacefully now Winry slowly walked over to where they were sitting and sat down on the other side of Sachi.

"Ed...I think her parents are dead or even abandoned her. And she and her older brother could be looking for each other." Winry said softly as she brushed the hair away from Sachi's face.

"What makes you say that Winry?" Ed asked as he looked at her.

"Because she was calling for them in her sleep Ed." Winry replied as she looked down at her.

"We have to help her..." Winry said as she slowly stood up and gently gathered Sachi up in her arms. "Goodnight Ed. Alphonse." Winry said softly before and Sachi laid down on the pulled out couch and quickly went to sleep.

"Goodnight." Ed replied as he and Al both went to sleep as well.

Sachi's Dream

"Mommy! Mommy!" a little Sachi cried out as she ran towards a familiar figure. It was an older Winry. Her hair was up in a spiky bun and she was wearing a pale blue summer dress with a white apron around her waist. Winry slowly smiled at her daughter.

"What is it sweety?" she asked gently as she kneeled down to Sachi's height.

"Nii-san's being mean to me!" Sachi exclaimed as she pointed to her older brother.

"I'm not!" said a young boy who looked exactly like Ed but he had his mothers blue eyes. He also had an innocent look on his face.

'He looks so much like his father when he was little' Winrythought in her head

"Hinode. Are you being mean to your sister?" Winry asked softly as she looked at Hinode with a stern look on her face.

"Um...uh...yes." Hinode answered quietly as he looked down at the ground.

"All right. Now, apologize to your sister Hinode." Winry said happily.

"I'm sorry Sachi." Hinode apologized softly. Sachi softly smiled.

"I forgive you Nii-san. Now, let's go play hide and seek!" Sachi exclaimed happily as she ran ahead of her brother, who was not far behind her.

End of Sachi's Dream

Streams of light found its way into the room, immediately making it light up inside. The streams of light hit Sachi in the face, making her wake up. "Ugh...okay I'm up." Sachi said groggily as she tried to sit up but the wound on her stomach immediately came into effect causing pain to rip through her body. "AUUUUGGGHHHH! DAMN IT!" Sachi exclaimed as she clutched her wound. Winry quickly ran into the room and then stopped. They both stood there, staring at each other before Winry snapped out of it and kneeled down next to her.

"Hi. My name is Winry Rockbell and your name is Sachi right?" Winry said softly. Sachi silently nodded. "Do you have a last name?" Winry asked softly. Sachi shook her head side to side. "So...um where are your parents?" Winry asked as she started to pick up Ed and Al's stuff that they had left((to go pick up some breakfast for themselves and for Winry & Sachi)) Sachi slowly dropped her head down.

"...I don't have any family...my dad died in the war...and my mom died of an illness...I have no idea where my older brother is." Sachi said softly as she kept her head down. Winry slowly stopped what she was doing.

"I'm sorry that I asked that question." Winry said quietly.

"It's okay." Sachi said as she clutched her arms.

"Well...anyway, how would you like it if me and my friends help you find your older brother?" offered Winry as she softly smiled at Sachi. Sachi's eyes widened as she looked up at Winry.

"You would?" she asked bewilderedly.

"Of course! You have no one else left so why not?" Winry said happily as she looked towards the door to see if Ed and Al came in.

"Oh...thanks." Sachi said as she smiled happily up at Winry.

"We're back!" Ed called out loudly as he came in through the door with Al not far behind him.

"What...is this?" Winry asked as she looked at the food in utter disgust. In each bowl were two heaping spoonfuls of rice, soy sauce, and covering that was a heaping dose of some smelly green stuff

"Hehehehe...that's all they had." Ed replied with a sheepish smile.

"You got to be kidding me?" Winry said as her stomach started to churn the wrong way.

"But all the other places were closed all ready." Al replied in Ed's defense. Sachi slowly grabbed a bowl and a pair of chopsticks and carefully took a small piece and slowly ate it.

"Sachi!" Winry exclaimed as she watched Sachi swallow the food.

"It's not that bad actually." she said as she ate another bite.

"It is?" Winry asked.

"Yeah. It's very good." Sachi as she ate a bigger bite.

Pretty soon, Ed & Winry were devouring it as well. "Hey Sachi, how come you ate this stuff when it didn't smell all that good?" Winry asked as she looked at Sachi.

"Well...I learned from my mom that you have to see if it is good or not and that you at least try it." Sachi said as she placed her bowl down.

"Oh...how you feeling?" Winry asked as she put away the bowls.

"Oh! I'm feeling all right. Just a little sore but I think I'll be all right." Sachi as she touched her stomach but regretted it as pain ripped through it causing her to bend down in pain.

"I think you should stay in bed for a good five days with that injury. Ed, can you and Al go to the pharmacy and get some medicine for her injuries please?" Winry asked as she put an ice pack on her stomach.

"Sure. Come on Al." Ed replied as he and Al headed off.

"Hey Winry...what about you, Ed, and Al? What about your family?" Sachi asked as she slowly laid down.

"Um...my parents were killed in the Ishbal War...Ed and Al's father left them and their mother a long time ago and...their mom died of an illness 4 years ago so...yeah...we don't have much of a family anymore." Winry said as she continued to clean up.

"So...how old is Ed & Al?" Sachi asked as her eyes started to get heavy.

"Ed's 15 and Al's 14." Winry answered as she looked in Sachi's direction and found Sachi sleeping peacefully.

((some distance from where Sachi and Winry are))

"Damn! They're closing in!" said a young boy with medium length dark blond hair and blue eyes. His hair was pulled into a braid and he had a smudge of dirt on his right cheek. He was wearing a torn red & black checkered jacket with a torn black shirt on He also had tan cargo pants that were torn almost completely off. He had no shoes and in his arms, was a huge bag filled with food for a week.

"There he is! Get him! He didn't pay for that!" yelled the man behind him.

"Damn! I have to find a way out of this giant maze." he replied as he rounded another corner.

"Hah! There's no where to run you little runt." said one of them as he and the one behind him went behind the kid. The kid quickly smirked.

"Oh...I see a way out...YOUR IN THE WAY!" he exclaimed as he clapped his hands together and placed them on the ground. All of a sudden, the ground beneath them came to life and formed into a giant gravel like fist. "GO!" he exclaimed as the fist came and knocked the men down, clearing a path for him to get away. "Ha! Suckers!" he exclaimed as he started to run but gunfire broke everything.

A bullet came and slammed into the back of his shoulder blade causing him to cripple to his knees. "Damn...I shouldn't have been so careless..." he said as he clapped his hands together and placed them on the ground. Suddenly, a big hole appeared underneath him and he fell through it.

"Hmm...huh? Carlos?" the boy replied as he woke up to meet his best friend staring down at him.

"Hey Hinode...did you get the stuff?" Carlos asked happily as his blue aqua eyes dance happily.

"Of course!...here's some bread, milk, frozen pizza, bologna, mayo, soda, apples, and finally, candy" Hinode replied as he pulled out the food. Hinode slowly looked down at the stuff in front of him and he then had a very intense flashback

Flashback

"It's all Sachi's fault that Dad's dead! If it hadn't been for that little girl that looked like Sachi, he wouldn't have saved her!" exclaimed a young Hinode as he yelled at his mother Winry, who was busy making pizza in the oven.

"Hinode that's enough! Don't you dare yell at Sachi for your father's death! He did that because he couldn't bear to see a little girl get killed!" Winry exclaimed as tears came to her eyes. "Please...just stop...please." Winry pleaded as tears continued to fall down her cheek.

"I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU AND SACHI!" exclaimed Hinode as he grabbed his backpack and ran out the door.

End of Flashback

"Hey Hinode...I took out the bullet in your shoulder blade. You'll be fine." Carlos said as he dug into a bologna and mayo sandwich. Carlos had short black spiky hair and aqua blue eyes. He was wearing a white torn shirt and black torn pants. Carlos was 16 while Hinode was 15.

"Thanks man..." Hinode said as he too dug in and thought about how his mom and sister were doing without him ((he hasn't been home in 8 years! He doesn't even know that his mother in the future is dead! Oh well))

"Hinode...why do you hate me?" Sachi asked as she looked down at her hands. "Where are you?"

"Hey Sachi! Sorry, I'm late but I ran into...what's wrong?" Winry asked as she ran inside and saw Sachi's sad face.

"Nothing...just thinking." Sachi said softly as she looked out the window.

"Oh...okay well your wounds are healed so lets go outside with Ed and Al?" Winry said as she held out her hand.

"Okay." Sachi said as she grasped onto Winry's hand and pulled herself out of bed.

"Hey Ed! Al! Where are you two!" Winry called out as she and Sachi came outside and found that Ed and Al were gone.

"Where do you think they went?" Sachi asked as she kept a firm grip on Winry's hand.

"I don't know but I learned that with Ed and Al, all you can do is wait." Winry said as she and Sachi sat down on the bench behind them.

"Brother...shouldn't we have told Winry and Sachi where we were going?" Al pointed out as he and Ed wandered around the market square.

"Well all we are doing is getting supper so how can it be a problem?" Ed stated as he went to the nearest market. "Hi, can we get 3 cheeseburgers, fries, and a Dr. Pepper, orange soda, & a sprite please?" Ed asked as he placed some money on the counter.

"Sure come-..not you again! You still owe me for the last one! Pay up thief!" the man replied as he stared critically at Ed.

"What are you talking about? This is the first time I came here." Ed answered as he looked back at him.

"Yes mister...my brother would never steal." Al pointed out as he too looked at his brother.

"Oh really...then how come you have amber eyes instead of blue? Is this some sort of a trick?" the man implied as he took a better look at Ed.

"Um...I always had amber eyes...anyway I'm not this person who stole here." replied Ed.

"No...you're not. I'm so sorry for my accusing you. Here's your meal and I'm once again very sorry." said the guy as he pushed the towards Ed.

"It's all right. Thanks. Come on Al lets go." Ed replied before walking off.

"Oh...here they come." Sachi said as she saw Ed and Al come walking over to them.

"Ed! Al! Where the hell were you!" Winry exclaimed as she ran over to them and bashed them over the head with her wrench.

"AUGH! Damn it Winry!" Ed exclaimed as he clutched his head where it was pounding very painfully.

"Well you should have left a note or something!" Winry exclaimed as they both glared at each other.

"Brother...chill." Al said as he put his hands on Ed's shoulder.

Ed slowly began to relax. "Sorry Winry. I should have left a note but, I was in a hurry and then when I got the food, this guy accused me of stealing and that he looks like me except with blue eyes." Ed started to say but stopped when Sachi started to run off where Ed and Al were coming from.

Hinode...It's you! Where are you! Sachi thought frantically as she darted in and out of the crowd. "Hinode! Hinode! Its me, Sachi! Your sister Hinode!" Sachi exclaimed as she kept running back and forth, looking for Hinode. Finally, after a while, she collapsed to her knees with tears falling down her cheeks. "Hinode...Hin...ode..." stuttered Sachi as tears wracked through her body as she gasped for air.

"Sachi! Sachi where are you!" called Winry as she darted in and out of the crowd looking for Sachi. "Oh god. Sachi...Sachi are you okay?" Winry asked as she knelt down next to Sachi's level and gently put an arm around Sachi's back. "It's okay Sachi. We'll find him." Winry said as she gently rubbed Sachi's back. Ed and Al quickly appear on the scene.

"Hey, is she all right?" Ed asked as he kneeled down in front of Sachi with a worried look on his face. Sachi slowly looked up into Ed's face and she then held out her hand and gently grabbed Ed's black shirt and slowly laid her head on Ed's arm.

Ed's face quickly blushed as she held on tightly. "Edward? Can you help her up?" Winry asked as she got up as well. Ed softly nodded and turned towards Sachi.

"Hey...Sachi...we can't stay here...we have to go." Ed said softly as he placed an arm under her arm to let her know that he would help her. Nodding, Sachi slowly got her feet underneath her and with Ed's help, got them both on their feet. "Are you okay Sachi?" Ed asked again as she kept her grip on Ed's shirt.

"Yes..."she answered silently.

"Okay...let's head back." Ed replied as he, Sachi, Winry, and Al headed back to the inn.
