General Point of Veiw...

"I'm so gonna kill Al." Ruri looked up to see a nervous and angry look in Ed's eye. He crossed his arms and pouted, dropping down on the seat. "What a nice little brother."

"What did he do?"

"Locked us in," he said flatly.

"Well couldn't you just..." she trailed. Hmm, I wonder why Al would do that? He seemed so nice...

Ed looked over at Ruri, who was looking down at the floor, lost in her own thoughts. Her highlighted hair swung when the train did, and she crossed her arms loosely. Her head fell against the dise of the compartment, and she fell asleep again, mouth in a slight smile.

Ed heard the thump of her head against the wall as the train struck more bumps, even though it didn't wake her up. Her head is going to be full of bruises when she wakes up. He snorted. But I don't want her to complain...

Silently, he crept up and around, lifting her head gently off the wall. Lifting her legs under his other arm, he turned her so she could lay down. Frantically searching for a pillow because he didn't want to wake her up, he sighed. No pillows, right when he needed it. Lifting her head once again, he slid under it and placed her in his lap.

His eyes traveled along her face, taking in her long eyelashes, soft cheeks, and, unfortunately, the lines now creased in her face by worry from the last few days. Once again, like that time in the hospital so long ago, he brushed the hair from Ruri's face, sighing as he continued looking out the window.

About three hours later, Al undid the lock and crept in, snickering quietly.

"Hey brother."

"Al..." Ed growled.

"What?"

Ed was just about to have a cow, when he remembered that he had a teenage girl's head in his lap, and that she was sleeping. "You do that again and you die. It wasn't funny locking us in like that!"

"Well at least you made up, didn't you?"

"Hmph."

Another six hours later, after Al had taken a nap and gone out to serve the other passengers again...

"Mmm..." Ruri's eyes fluttered open, and she yawned wide. "Wha...?" She glanced around to take hold of her surroundings, and remembered the train she was on, headed for Vale. Feeling something around her waist, she looked down and gasped. Ed's arms were around her, holding on tight. When she realized he wasn't letting go, she started to squirm. But the deep breathing on the back of her neck made her stop, and told her he was asleep.

And she was also completely curled up in his lap, no way out. His blonde hair tickled her neck, making her smile.

One hour later

"Ahh, that was a nice nap!" Ed yawned. He he nearly screamed bloody murdur when he saw he was holding Ruri. Al was across from the two, also sleeping. Suddnely, the train slowed, and an attendant announced they were at Vale. Ed arranged himself so he could carry the young girl, and headed out, Al with the Luggage.

At the new hotel...

Al opened the door this time, and put the luggage in the bedroom. There was only one bed, cause Vale was a slightly rundown town. Ed placed Ruri on the couch and took a quick shower. Ed noticed he didn't have a place to sleep. "Hi, I'm in room 205, and I wanted to know if I could have an extra blanket or five."

There was a short, dry laugh on the other line. "Okay, room service will be there shortly." The desk attendant hung up.

About two minutes later, there was a knock on the door and a female voice called out this time as Ed swung it open. His eyes grew with disbeliefe at the gun muzzle at point blank.

"Hand over the girl, and I won't shoot," the man in front of him threatened. His hand was around the throat of a young girl in a navy blue uniform, who was now sobbing, thrashing at him.

"Why should I?"

"Because if you don't I kill her," he gestured to the terrified girl, "you," he cocked the gun a little up, "and your little girlfriend." He moved his head quickly, nodding inside to the sleeping figure on the couch. "So hurry up."

Ed's thoughts raced through his mind as he glanced at the choked girl on her knees. She looked up at him, eyes swollen from crying, face drained of color. He raised his voice a little and called, "Ruri. Come here for a moment."

"Mmm... I don't feel good... I can't go to school today, Satoshi..." She rolled over and curled up tighter. Ed Inwardly smiled as he called her name again, voiced raised even more.

"Ruri. It's Ed. I need your help. Right now."

Ruri mumbled and got up, rubbing sleep from her eyes. But at the sight of the silver metal of the gun, inches away from Ed's face, she was instantly alert. "What... What the hell is going on here!"

The black-haired man on the threshold answered her first, with a comand. "Let's go. Now."

"I don't think so!" Ed clapped his hands quickly, restoring the flow of alchemic energy within his body. Shoving his hand on the barrel, he transmuted it, so it bent backwards. The man only gave a grimacing smirk. Using his bare hands, he bent the muzzle back, slightly crooked, but once again pointing at Ed.

Ed's eyes grew. "What are you?" he choked.

"Your worst nightmare."

And he shot.
