Yes, I know I suck at chapter titles…
Disclaimer: Don't own fma, get the deal. I'm confuzzled.
"I am Colonel Roy Mustang. It is a pleasure to meet such a beautiful princess." Mustang gently kissed Kosa's hand.
Kosa blinked and quickly pulled her hand away. "Please call me Kosa-kun, Sir Colonel Mustang."
Mustang retreated to his desk. "Whatever you wish, Kosa-kun." He picked up a filing folder and handed it to her. "That contains your second name."
Kosa took it and read it silently. Then a smile creeped across her face. "I like it. It doesn't sound scary, it sounds…pretty. The Flower Alchemist." She gave a small giggle.
Mustang then slammed his hands on the desk and yelled, "FULLMETAL!"
Kosa jumped with surprise, nearly dropping the folder, and Mustang continued to talk a little quieter. "I am not done with you so don't try to run. I have a mission for you and flower."
Kosa then raised her right hand in a quick salute as she stood up straight and still, her expression had become indifferent.
Ed approached the desk amazed at how different she looked so suddenly.
"Lately the military has been having some problems in a town south of here, called Keser. They have refused to pay their taxes." Mustang paused.
Ed cut in. "Are we supposed to make them pay?"
"Fullmetal, let me finish. They are refusing to pay because they're complaining that something, a monster, is attacking their town. I want you two to fix the problem." Mustang replied. "Oh, and the train you need to take will leave in one hour, so you better get ready quick."
"Yes Colonel." Said Kosa as she turned and left the room. Ed was about to follow her when Mustang stopped her.
"Fullmetal, keep an eye on Flower. Her alchemy is different from others'. People might want to use her powers for their own gain." He said as Ed turned to leave. "Also, don't tell Miss Kosa about this."
Ed nodded and left through the door.
"Ed, Kosa-kun. Our train is here." Al looked over at the two.
The three of them got on and sat down as soon as they found an empty car. Kosa winced slightly, holding her left wrist.
Ed noticed and asked, "Are you ok?"
"Wha? Oh, yea, I'm fine. Just a little, umm, sore." Kosa said quickly. Darn, maybe on the way back we could stop by Rush Valley.
Then silence followed for a bit. Kosa suddenly spoke up, a little quiet. "So, Ed, Al, what happened to you two?"
Ed appeared confused. "What are you talking about?"
Kosa sighed. "I mean, how did you get your Automail and how did your brother lose his body."
Both Ed and Al stared at her shocked. "H…how did you know?" asked Al.
Kosa stayed silent and Ed remembered what the colonel had said. Ed stared at the ground as he said; "We tried to bring our mother back to life."
Kosa looked at her left arm. "Trying to bring someone back to this world can be very painful."
"…Kosa-kun, what are you hiding?" Ed looked at her.
"Nothing, what would I have to hide!" Kosa replied quickly as she held her left arm.
"You are hiding something!" Ed stood up and sat on Kosa's left while looking into her eyes. "What are you hiding?"
"I told you, nothing." Kosa began to move her left arm away from Ed unconsciously.
Ed grabbed Kosa's left arm with his right and pulled her towards him.
"L…let go, I…I'm not hiding anything!" Kosa began to struggle.
Ed tried to take of her glove but she fought him, causing the two to fall to the ground. Kosa's eyes opened and she saw Ed's face less than an inch from her own. They both began to blush and quickly got up and Kosa looked to the right. Ed then quickly grabbed her left arm and took of Kosa's red glove. She quickly tried to hide her arm but it was too late, Ed and Al had already seen.
"You have Automail!" said Al surprised.
Ed looked at Kosa's saddened face. "You tried to bring someone back to life, didn't you."
Kosa blinked. "How did you know?"
Ed raised his hand and gently touched the clip in Kosa's hair, his face close to hers. "That symbol, only people who have attempted a human transmutation know what it means." Ed paused. "Who did you try to bring back?"
"My friend. She was the only one who didn't care that I was a princess. My mom disliked her because she was Isbalin, so I had to visit her in her town." Kosa seemed even more depressed. "One day when I was visiting her, the military attacked the settlement. She hid me and the military came in and shot her. She died so I wouldn't be found. I was young, and it hurt so much. I didn't care about what happened to me, as long as she could live."
Ed sat back down and stared out the window, watching the blurry scenery pass.
There's chapter two! So sorry it took so long, My friend had my fic and she barely gave it back. I' gonna try to be less of a procrastinator! I'll type up whenever I get the chance. Thankfully there's only 8 days til schools out. Well, please review. This story is really old, I started it sometime after spring break last year and finished it during the summer so ya. And so you know, the character's name was Kosa-kun before my penname was, Kosa just ended up being my favorite name I used in my fics!
