Psiren the theif

Finally Nikooru caught up to Ed and Al just as some weird cop hand cuffed Ed. Nikooru stop a couple feet from them. She thought "I don't want any trouble so maybe… I should…" She began to slowly back away from the three of them. Al caught sight of Nikooru out of the corner of his eye " Hey" he said motioning to Nikooru to come here. Nikooru gulped then turned tail, and ran.

"Uh"

"Al tell him I am innocent… Al…"

"Huh? Oh yeah he is innocent."

"Not very convincing I am going to have to take you two station"

"Just look I have a state alchemist pocket watch" Ed took out his watch to show the weird cop. "See."

"That doesn't prove anything. You're coming to the station."

Pant…Pant Nikooru wiped the little bit of sweat from her forehead. "Looks like I lost them… I will find them later…I might as well doing go check out some of the tourist attractions."

"What is this" Nikooru said as she caught sight of a poster which turned out to be a wanted poster for a thief named Psiren. She glanced at the poster till she caught sight of the award money for Psiren's capture. A lit bit of spit dripped down from her mouth…

"That's a lot of money…" She then turned out her pockets "… and it appears that I don't have any money." She said with a grin. Nikooru walked away from the wanted poster with a two happy little thoughts playing in her mind. One thought was of spending the money while the other was "Bounty Hunter Nikooru".

Later that day at night

Wow so this is where Psiren is supposed to strike. Sure is pretty damn crowded might as well think ahead and, figure out her escape route. Nikooru thought as she circled the area where Psiren was supposed to strike next.

"Almost time" Nikooru said to herself. She caught on to the faint footsteps of someone who to her knowledge was running. "There." She caught sight of two figures fighting.

One was fighting with playing cards a unique style. The other one was short, wore a red coat, with blonde hair… Ed. Ed tackled Psiren, and pinned her to the ground. Nikooru blushed at the sight of this but, what made it worse was when Ed touched Psiren's chest full handedly. Nikooru had a look of shock on her face, and so did Ed when he jumped of off Psiren giving Psiren her chance to escape. Nikooru began to laugh the look on Ed's face when he realized what he had touched was just too much.

"What were you doing Ed?" Nikooru said while still laughing.

"Nikooru….Ummm I was trying to catch Psiren but, as you can see she got away." Ed said as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

Nikooru kept teasing Ed on the way back to where Al was. It was just to perfect Ed was embarrassed and mad at the same time. Nikooru just couldn't help herself from having a little fun with it.

The next day Nikooru decided she would do some soul searching… at the nearest ice cream vendor. Ice cream to Nikooru was like food for the soul not to mention it was tasty. Nikooru decided that it would be best to forget about last night, and to leave Psiren to Ed. She no longer had much of an interest for being a bounty hunter now that she had gotten money from Ed, not a lot though she wasn't a gold digger.

Later that night Ed caught Psiren by creating a huge hand out of rock. Psiren told Ed to look for the philosopher in a town called Xenotine so as you can guess that was our next destination.
