(A/N) I'm trying to be more descriptive in my fanfics (that's what most complaints are about). This will probably be only a few short chapters but I'm not fully sure yet.
Disclaimer: Unfortunately I am not nearly as good of a manga author as Arakawa so I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist, though I do own several FMA stuff, necklace, watch, dvd, book, cards, ect.
She could feel the gashes in her arms bleeding immensely, and her internal injuries made her cringe with horror. The tears slowly flowed from her face.
"It's over," she whispered "I have nothing left to live for. And it's all my fault."
She held his limp body close to hers, gripping him with all her strength, hoping she could once again feel his heartbeat.
She turned around to see the flames engulfing the building she once stood in. She felt the burns on her face, and then his.
'It's my own damn fault,' she thought coughing up more blood 'I can't live with myself knowing I caused this...unless I bring you back.' she looked down at his face partway covered by his brownish blonde hair that fell in his face, brushing off the ashes.
"If I must," she said aloud "I'll sacrifice myself."
She drew the transmutation circle on the ground, praying it would work.
Then, she slowly lowered her hands and activated it.

"Edward!" Roy Mustang yelled at the sleeping teenager.
"Wha..?" Ed replied with a small bit of drool escaping his mouth.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Roy commanded.
"I was told" Ed cleared his throat "you wanted to see me, but when I came, you weren't here so I sat down and...fell asleep I guess."
Roy let out an annoyed sigh "There was this girl who kept coming around here requesting to see you." Roy walked over to his desk and sat down. "I told her you were on an important assignment and weren't in central at the time, but she kept coming back. Every day she'd come in begging to see the alchemist who can transmute without a circle. After awhile it started pissing me off, so I told the guards not to let her in." The look on Roy's face became more irratated. "Apparently she's a rather skilled alchemist and was able to easily sneak in here and I caught her snooping around asking to talk to anyone who could transmute without a circle."
Ed, now fully awake, got curious "What did she look like?"
"A bit shorter than you, as hard as it is to imagine that," Roy smirked "had long blonde hair, sort of sickly looking, and had silvery blue eyes."
"Hm..." a puzzled look went over Ed's face "Dont' know anybody that fits that description. Were there any other distinguishing things?"
"Other than the fact that she always wore baggy black pants, steel toed boots, and an out of place looking locket..." Roy smiled "she always wore a tight white tank top."
Realizing Riza Hawkeye had entered the room, Roy could feel her icey glare. "Anyway" he said, his grin fading from his face "I want you to search for her, she should be somewhere in central."
"And what do I do when I find her?" Ed questioned anxiously.
"Whatever the hell it takes to keep her out of here." Roy said.
-
"Gee thanks a lot Roy..." Edward said putting his hands in his pockets, looking around at his surroundings "just send me out here to blindly search for some psychopath that's after me."
Ed walked over to a telephone booth and called Alphonse.
"Hello?" Ed heard his brothers voice.
"Hey Al." Ed replied "How're Winry and Pinako?" Ed thought about how as soon as he and his brother heard their friends had caught the fatal and contagious disease that was going around, Al had rushed to aid them.
Al said in a depressing tone "Winry's getting better but I'm not sure about Pinako..."
"Damn" Ed said with a trace of anger in his voice "I really wish I could be there to help-"
"No brother." Alphonse quickly said "You know you'd catch it and I don't want that."
"I know..." Ed said calming down "Well I guess I'll talk to you later."
"Yeah, bye."
"Later."
Ed hung up the phone and sighed.
He turned around and saw a girl with a cloak pulled tightly around her, sitting beneath a tree crying.
As he slowly approached he could hear her whisper the name Toyo.
"Hey are you alright?" He quietly asked.
"Go away." she said not looking up.
"Geez don't be such a bitch about it." Ed said annoyed.
She looked up with cold eyes and scanned him up and down until she saw his watch.
"You're a state alchemist..." she softened her look "the youngest state alchemist...Fullmetal."
She jumped up "Fullmetal please help me!" she yelled in his face.
"Whoa what a change of attitude."
Dropping her cloak to the ground she slowly approached Edward and hugged him making him blush.
"Sorry if I seem kind of odd...but I really need your help...please."
"Um okay.." suddenly ed recognized her as the girl Mustang had described to him earlier.
"Edward, have you seen the gate?"
Ed's hands which he unconciously had wrapped around her began sweating. "Why...what are you...I mean.."
"Is that why I can transmute without a circle...because I've seen the gate?"
Ed closed his eyes trying to block out the image of that damn gate from his memory. "Yes."
"Why," she hissed "do I keep gaining, from my mistakes..."
(A/N) Please review, and I promise to update soon, BYE.
