Chapter 1

As Jasmine walked, she wondered why her cousin would want to livein such a place. It was extremely crowded, smelled, and was yet again crowded. Livingin the that dirty old hut looked pretty good right now. Though when she came upon a gate she smiled, glad to find what she was looking for. She climbed half way up th gate then smoothly jumped over the rest and landed on the other side gently. Then someone started to wave his hands like crazy and yelling "Hey you!" Jasmine just let out a heavy sigh and began to run. The solider still in pursuit kept yelling to stop. Though she didn't wan to explain her golden fox tail that was flowing behind her and here ears on top of head. Soon a pursuit of a about 20 soldiers were running after her.

Now this chase was pointless in trying to lose them, even if she manage did find her cousin , she would still have to explain why she had a tail and ears.

Jasmine could go on like this for hours running , but eventually she would get blasted by a bomb or something. She decided to give up , but just then a group of their soldiers were running right towards her. Jasmine stopped, not because it was hopeless, not because she was trapped, but because at the front of group of soldiers was her cousin "Riza!" Jasmine smiled happily and waved. The women titled her head then overcome with surprise put down her gun and shook her head slowly.

Jasmine knew her cousin was mad but not this mad, "What are doing here! Why did you run away from the house! Tell me that!" Riza Hawkeye paced back and forth shaking her head. "Plus you didn't have the decicenty to hide you ears and tail." Jasmine just sat in her chair ears down watching her cousin pace back and forth around the room. "Jasmine tell me, why didn't you get contact with the family and tell about grandfather and that he was dead. You would've just been sent to another home to take care of-"

"That's exactly," Jasmine interrupted hanging her head,"why I ran away." silence fell over in the office they were in.

"Well, lieutenant I think you should let her stay at your place until you find another place for her to stay." said a man named Roy or as many of them said Lieutenant Colonel, he didn't seem like much to Jasmine.

Riza looked over at him and sighed "Fine, but your heading to someone else's house in two days. Okay?" she looked down at Jasmine.

Jasmine looked up happy shaking her head up and down, " Okay, of course." she stood up."Thanks Riza's boyfriend." Liza hit her in the back of the head. "Ow! What was that for, I said thanks."

"He's not my boyfriend." she said, looking like she was on the edge of blushing.

"Oh, why then all you think about is 'Roy looks nice today' ' Roy that was a brilliant idea' then all you do is talk about in your letters is that Roy this and Roy that or I'm so worried about Roy getting shot in the eye. Yuck, every time, ever letter there is something about him, it makes me sick.." Jasmine stuck out her tongue in digust. Though when she looked up to she Riza about to explode she stuck her tongue back in " Um, yeah, gots to go, nice meeting you Havoc, and Roy." she laughed nervously and opened the door. "ImeanLiza'sboyfriend." she said quickly and left out the door. Then all you could hear was yelling and shooting and people telling Riza not to kill her cousin.

Once they got everything under control, they sent Jasmine outside to wait. They had put a bandana on her head too keep ears hidden, and her tail was wrapped around her waist. It looked sorta funny. Jasmine took off her bandana to listen in on Roy and Riza and the rest of them up there. Since they were three stories up and she was outside, her ears came in handy.

"Your cousin reminds me of another little bratty kid I know." she heard Roy's say. How dare he say she was bratty! And compare her to Fullmetal! Jasmine shook her head, how did she know that name? She had no idea who he was , but she suddenly know his name. His name was Edward Elric and he came from a small town named Resembol... Jasmine shook her head again and took out her sketch book.

Around noon a shadow appeared over her, she looked up to see a boy with blond hair, his hair was put back in one braid. "Excuse me, your blocking my light," Jasmine said squinting from the sun's light behind his head, "and I don't like people hovering over me when I'm drawing."

The boy held out a plate, "It's for you, from your cousin." Jasmine stared at the plate, it had ham.

"No thanks I'm a vegetarian." she said pushing the plate away.

The boy shrugged and sat down next to her on the bottom of the steps and began to eat, Jasmine continued to draw. After awhile the boy leaned over at glanced at her drawing, "Is that Roy?" he asked smirking.

Jasmine leaned away from him, "Um, yeah, he sorta has this sculpture face."

"Um-hm" he leaned away from her.

"What's does 'um-hm' mean?"

"I just saying that I agree with you."

"You being sarcastic."

"No I'm not."

"There you go again!"

"What?"

"Being sarcastic!"

"Me? I'm not being sarcastic."

"There you go again!"

"Um-hm."

"Ugh!" she started to draw again, but with a pouting face. Then the boy took out a piece of bread and took a bite. Jasmine stared at him, "Where did you get that?"

"From the plate."

"No it wasn't there before, when you pushed it up to my face that wasn't there."

"Yes it was, you just didn't see it." Jasmine made a face and looked behind him, sitting there was a plate similar to the other but with two pieces of bread. Jasmine went back to her sketch book and started a new drawing, again the boy leaned toward her. He raised an eyebrow it seemed in surprise a wonder. "You know Winry?" he asked

"Who?", Jasmine said looking up from her sketch book, "oh so that's her name."

"You mean you don't know who you were drawing?"

"No," Jasmine shook her head, "I didn't her face just suddenly popped up in my head." she stared up the sky, "Like when your name and the town you grew up popped in my head, Ed and Resembol " she whispered.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"I think-" she was cut off by a loud growl, they both looked down at her stomach, "I guess I'm hungry since I hadn't had anything for a couple days." Jasmine laughed nervously and smiled. The boy smiled back and then reached behind himself and shoved a piece of bread in her face. "Here." he said. Jasmine stared at it for awhile then finally took it, eating slowly. Then she said in a faint whisper, "Thank you."

-lightingandbullet

After awhile Jasmine continued to draw and the boy, who's name was Ed was just done eating. It was late afternoon and there was a gentle breeze, strong enough to blow Jasmine's short blonde hair in her face. After many attempts to push it behind her ear and her hair just falling out from behind her ear she gave up and closed her sketch book, she had finished 4 sketches: Roy,Winry, Ed, and a guy with these glasses and a sort of after shave look.

She looked up to see it was about sunset and the Ed was still sitting next to her . "You know your brother is looking for you, actually he's about to come in five..."

Ed looked at her from his little staring into space moment, "Huh?"

"Four."

"Wait what are-"

"Three."

"I bet you he's not going to-"

"Two."

"Stop cutting me- "

"One."

And ironically enough a boy came around the corner of the building running over to Ed and Jasmine. He looked similar to Ed, though just a slight chubbier, slightly, maybe less then slight. Though they were almost identical, and his eyes were a little browner. Ed raised a hand, "Hey Al."

"There you are Ed! I 've been looking for you all day!" Al said.

"Really?" he seemed he wanted to look over to Jasmine, though he didn't need to turn around to know she was smiling because she was right.

" Yeah, what happened to my lunch?"

"..." Ed stared at him for awhile both of them just staring at each other.

"You didn't" Al said.

"What I was hungry."

" I was hungry too you know! I went with out lunch Ed and-" he stopped when he saw Jasmine she was looking at them sort of half amused, half confused. Ed looked at Al wondering why he stopped yelling then looked over his shoulder and smiled

" Oh Jasmine this-"

"Al yeah, I know." she said holding out her hand," Nice to meet you." she smiled and waited for him to shake her hand, instead he pointed at her head.

"You have ears." he said still pointing at her ears. There was silence, Jasmine forgot to put her scarf on.

Dofus.

Dofus.

Dofus.

Though what else could she say? "Oh these?" she put her hand on her head, "Yeah, I had them since I was...hmm... 4 years old. I'm a chimera if you haven't guessed already, so are you going t o shake me hand or not?" Jasmine was bold, actually she really didn't care what other people thought about her, a reason why she came prancing, not really, in the streets walking to the military gates without caring if people knew she was one. Al smiled and again and shook her hand.

"Nice to meet you."

She stood up and stretched and looked around then started to walk around in a circle. "One-one thousand, two-one thousand, three-one thousand..." she started to count. Ed looked at her go in circles , counting, and walking,counting, and walking...

"What the hell are you doing? Your making me dizzy."

She stopped, "Oh, you'll see." she smiled. Then in the distance across the pavement a small figure came running across the open space. It's fluffy brown tail high in the air, running right towards the steps at full speed. Ed squinted at it coming at full speed and before he knew it.

Jump.

Land.

Jump.

Land on Jasmine's shoulder, though what was happened was the squirrel jumped up from the steps, landed on Ed's face and then jumped into Jasmine's. A wind went by while everyone stood in silence.

"Ed? Are you okay," Jasmine asked, "Heko, you know better." she said. The squirrel looked and hung it's head then did a series of squeaks.

"Even if you don't like him, apologize."

The squirrel seemed to let out a sigh the jumped off Jasmine's and ran over to Ed, he looked at the squirrel then he ran behind Jasmine.

"Don't tell me your scared of squirrels Ed." Jasmine said looking at him behind her.

"Their in league with the milk, continuing mocking me saying ' were taller then you Ed, were taller'"

Jasmine looked at Ed again shook her head, then Hecko titled his head unaware of what was going on.

"Hey, there you are!"

They all turned their heads to see Riza running towards them. It was obvious that she was done with whatever military people did, sign papers, look at papers, type papers, blah papers... Whatever they did she seemed to be done.

"Hey Riza! Um, are you done already? That was pretty quick compared to what I think it would take, like until midnight or something."

"Roy let me let some paper work until tomorrow so I get you settled."

"Um-hm, you sure he didn't let you off because your boyfriend and girl-."

Before Jasmine could finish her sentence she recognized Riza's hand in her pocket, and Jasmine knew exactly what she was reaching for.

"Mmmm-k well anyway nice meeting you Ed, Al." She smiled as Hecko jumped onto her shoulder. "See ya guys later." Then her and Riza walked down the stairs together in unison, it was little weird.

"Hey Riza I have a question, don't freak out when I say it, just take deep breathes and-"

"Come on, I've been in worse situations before, I can take anything, go ahead."

" Can I join the military?"

Well, plz review
