Winry sighed," You are just like Ed, can't sit still." More then you know, idiot, I though cruelly.
"But, at least I don't have a ferocious napoleon complex." Rin grinned then realized what she said and smacked her hand to her mouth. Winry raised an eyebrow.
"How did you know that?" she asked smirking. Rin shrugged.
"I don't know?" Rin answered slapping on a pathetic smile Winry smirked back at Rin but soon let it go. I stood up and gave Winry a polite smile and straightened up my coat to a more comfortable condition around the searing pain in my back.
"Well we better be heading out." I said getting angry at Winry's bubbly personality. Winry gave us a worried and concerned look. I moved slightly and pain shot up my back as I accidentally grunted from it.
"Thanks Winry, but I couldn't possibly impose; I mean you've already cleaned me up and everything." Winry laughed a little as I let out a sigh of relief of not having to stay with her. She bugged me. I don't know why, but she irks me.
"That's where you're not like Ed, he would have already eaten all my food and fallen asleep on the couch by now. NO, I insist you should stay." Rin sighed as I tensed. Rin smiled childishly. You've got more to learn bout us Winry. I'm not one to take 'bubbly' people nicely. I thought darkly.
"Alright you win." Rin said. I was going to strangle her, literally. Winry smiled and clasped her hands together prancing out of the room and into the kitchen. Before she even knew what was happening I gripped my long fingers around her neck.
"Why the hell did you say we would stay?" I hissed angrily into her ear. I dropped her and she fell to the floor coughing up blood.
"OH SHIT! NOT NOW!"I screamed as I ran over to her. I got to my knees ignoring the pain in my back. I kept apologizing for strangling her. She looked up at me with blood trickling down her mouth.
"It's not your fault, it's my parents' genetics." I looked at the ground depressingly.
"What's wrong?" She asked in a concerned tone.
"I'm the one who caused the blood to come on." I said sadly.
"It's not your fault it's just the excitement from being in Shambala, the-" I hugged my knees to my chest.
"And do you even remember your parents." I asked darkly. I saw tears brimming in her eyes.
"No, not at all but, I really don't care you know it helps me move on. Not being able to remember I mean." She laughed. . I gave her a crooked smile at her feeble attempt to make me feel better. My parents were shot in front of me when I was 12. I wish I could forget the pain in their faces as they fell. I still have the gunshot scar on my left shoulder.
Rin grabbed the rag Winry used earlier and began to clap her hands, "Now time to clean up this mess." Rin placed her palms on the in the puddle to wipe it up, but as soon as she did a flash of bright light and everything was clean.
The color from Rin's face was demolished. Rin turned to me as my color feel to the floor. We stared at each other and burst out laughing. I stoipped as soon as I heard foot steps. ( I have very keen hearing).
"You guys ok, I heard yelling a few minutes ago." As soon as Winry said this Rin turned to me giving me a look telling me not to say it. Like I would. I think she is nuts. Rin turned and gave one of her bows.
"Thanks again for letting us stay" Rin said giving her a weak smile as I made quiet gagging noises that unfortunately Winry didn't hear.
"No problem, at least you're not eating me out of house and home." She gave off a giddy laugh making me gag louder. Winry gave us a crooked smile. "You're gonna have to sleep in Ed and al's room cause they declared the only guest room as their room, well Ed did."
As soon as yuck… Winry said Ed Rin's face turned red.. I leaned and whispered "someone's turning into a stalker." Rin turned to me and glared. Just as she did Winry say the blush and smirked.
"I get the feeling you know or have a thing for Ed." She said smoothly. She gasped turning at least fifty shades darker. I started cracking up wildly at her expression.
"Well He's like famous …uhh yeah and he's …well cool and… CUTE!" Rin covered her mouth and even if I didn't think it was possible she turned redder. As her face turned redder I burst out laughing, ignoring the pain in my back.
"DON"T TELL HIM!" I shrieked. Winry shook her hand in front of her and between gasp she made out. "Don't worry I won't." Rin let out a gasp of relief as she said this. "You guys should take up your stuff," she looked around the room confused. "If you have anything." She said scratching her head. "It's the first door on the left up the stairs." We nodded and she walked out of the room. Rin turned back to me to see her 'my chemical romance' shoved violently in her face.
"Here." I said looking down at the ground. "I found it by you when you were hurt." She gave me her a goofy grin and skipped up the stairs. I followed.
There it was the doorway to where there was something to sleep on.
"Oh come on Rin!" I said getting annoyed. She jumped slightly noticing I was there leaning against the wall slyly, one of my favorite past times. She glared at me.
"Well I'm sorry I have been on the verge of gaining one of my dreams for the very first time, you know Vash my life had been spiraling downward since the time I was born," Rin snapped clenching her fists in fury and anger. "And finally I have just been thrown where I have always wanted to be and now I have the chance to start over."
I was surprised and taken back. "I have to admit I was very calm and sweet until you pissed me off. When I was angry everyone who knew me would hide."
"Sorry." I mumbled annoyed but, that wasn't new. She walked into the sunny room proudly, me following me rolling my eyes.
She sat on the wooden floor of the room quietly and motion for me to sit on the neatly made bed. I was confused..
"You sleep there." She said sweetly. I raised an eyebrow and shook my head.
"No way, you're fuckin idiot"
"But-"
"No buts! YOU WENT THROUGH THE FUCKING GATE AND ONLY TWO PEOPLE KNOW HOW PAINFUL THAT IS!" She let a defeated sigh and shrugged getting up slowly and sitting next to me on the bed, hugging her backpack.
She unzipped her backpack and emptied the contents. An I-pod shuffle , Black lining that had peeled off her jacket that she most likely threw into the bag, a few broken pencils and used pens, a pair of head phone that had their own volume, Digital camera (mine) and lastly two solar powered walkie-talkies(with solar batteries so at night they work.) She threw me my digital camera and one of the WTs (walkie-talkies) She smirked and shook her WT in my face as I set my stuff on the bedside table. She was pissing me off to no end.
"And you said these were stupid." She said in a mocking tone as I glared at her. Believe me they were very stupid when we bought them well actually I bought them.
"It's 5:30." I said seeming annoyed but, shook it off and looked at she with a smile. "Watcha wanna do?" I asked she just shrugged tiredly. She grabbed her I-pod (with the headphones) and lining and she lit up and ran out the door.
I ran down the stairs following the freaky midget.
"WINRY? I'M GOIN OUTSIDE!" She yelled before running to the side of the pastel yellow house I was hot on her trail. She turned around and smiled giddily.
"Time for some alchemy." She said with a wild laugh I threw her and awkward glare and opened my mouth but she stopped me.
"Wait, what element do you have strong ties to?" She asked politely knowing it was fire for me. I am a crazy pyro. I gave her a wild grin that scared her a little bit. Which is always my plan.
"FIRE!" I screamed with and insane laugh. She took the lining and laid it on the ground spreading it out. She clapped her hands and placed the on the shiny black cloth. A bright blue light came from the spot she had touched and when she looked back.
There wear two black gloves and a puddle of water. She took out her silver sharpie and drew two neat little fire transmutation circles on the top side and handed them to me. They were a pair of Roy gloves only black for me. I took them and slipped them on amazed by the alchemical power she supplied.
"Must've been the gate." She said quietly. I looked down at the puddle a confused.
"OH, that's from the material I took away all the moister so the cloth would spark." She said proudly. I looked to Rin, "What about you?" I said nodding towards her.
"Well you know how I love high places and the wind in my hair?" I nodded "well I gonna try wind, so Vashinator I challenge you in an alchemy fight. Just for practice. I nodded and smirked walking about fifty feet away from her.
"READY!"she yelled
"SET!"
"GO!" we both yelled and ran straight towards each other. I snapped my fingers and set a whip of flames to Rin.The shield Rin created to redirected my flames and I snapped again and this one broke the shield and burnt her shoulder. I sent another wave of flames and she clapped her hands and sent a huge wave of wind blowing it out of her way along with me. I slid a little when I landed and brushed my coat off.
This continued for about another hour or so and it ended when we both collapsed to the ground breathing heavily.
"GUYS! DINNER!" Winry called from the front door. I got up but stopped pain began to surge through my body with shudders. I looked to make sure no one saw me. And followed Rin inside.
"FOOD! YAY!" Rin immediately started gobbling up food as I at mine delicately afraid Winry might've poisoned me. Rin talked about stuff Winry thought she had no clue about like the Ishbalin massacre and city names.
"hey, where's the famous pinoko Rockbell" Rin asked arrogantly. Winry pouted,
"She went to rush valley without me!" she whined. She stretched her arms a yawned.
"well if you don't mind after I help Winry clean up this mess I gonna hit the hay." I stood up bottling the pain in my back.
"I'm doing that now." I said smugly turning to leave the room. I trudged up the steps and walked into the room. I went quickilly to the bathroom and peal part of my coat of revealing my black tank top and black rose tattoo on my fore arm.
I turned around and saw blood trickle from the semi-large opening in my shirt. I saw a piece of what seemed wood sticking out of my back. I grabbed the piece of wood and bit my lip as I pulled it out. It broke midway out. Pain shooting up my back and down my leg. I breathed heavily as I threw the bloodied stick in the sink.
"Oh god Ash how are you going to get out of this one." I said aloud to myself. I pulled my coat back on ignoring the pain that was worse then before and walked out into the bed room. I threw pillows and blankets on the floor and laid down carefully and fell asleep.
