Yeah, this is chapter four! Hope you all enjoy it!

Disclaimer: I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist, but I do own Kararu Rinamino, and Shikou Rinamino belongs to Silvermoon15, so you have to ask her.

Loosing the Sight

Chapter 4: Good Night? Yeah Right!

"Wait…WHAT baby?" Mustang yelled. Hughes burst out laughing.

"Oh, she didn't tell you?" Hughes asked a moment later once his laughter had subsided somewhat.

"NO!"

"Mustang, it's okay. She asked me to tell you because she was nervous about what your reaction would be. I can see why."

Hughes cocked an eyebrow at Mustang and motioned for him to take a seat on the other side of the car. Mustang glared at him when he noticed Hughes' 'I-know-something-that-you-don't' grin, but it soon turned into a grim frown.

"What is it?" Mustang asked.

"I've been meaning to tell you something…" Hughes said, then leaned over to Mustang to whisper in his ear, "Is this care being listened in on? Any possible way anyone could listen to us?"

"No, not that I know of…" Mustang whispered back, giving his friend a questioning look.

"We all know that the Homunculi's leader is Envy, right?"

"Correct…"

"Well, we've gotten reports that there's a new recruit on the team."

"What!"

"Shh, keep your voice down!"

"Sorry…could you tell me about this 'new recruit'?"

"We know for a fact that it's a Homunculus. We think he's Prides replacement."

"Do you know what he can do?"

"Huh?"

"You know, what they can do. Sloth can turn into water, Wrath can use alchemy, Envy can change into anything, Lust can extend her fingers, Greed can change his skin composition, and Gluttony can…eat…things…"

"Oh, that."

"Yeah, that. Do you know anything?"

"No, not yet."

"Damn it…"

"We'll try to find out."

"All right…and I don't want to scare Hawkeye with this talk of Homunculi. I don't want her to-"

"It's all right sir, I already know. I deeply apologize for eavesdropping."

Mustang and Hughes looked up to see the door open and Hawkeye walk in, then shut the door behind her.

"Well, that goes out the window…" Mustang said. "How much did you hear?"

"The part where you started talking about the Homunculi's 'new recruit'. It's all right sir, you don't need to protect me. I'm just fine on my own. I can handle myself." Hawkeye said as she went to go sit next to him.

"Yeah, but I can't help but worry." Mustang said.

"It's all right sir. I can understand you wanting to protect me…and know that you know, our baby." Hawkeye said, grinning at Mustang.

He just glared at her as both her and Hughes started to laugh.

xxThat Nightxx

"…'Kararu, we have to get out of here!' Shikou cried to her sister. 'Shikou, I'm not leaving!' Kararu yelled back." Kararu said. Ed was sitting in his chair, and anyone could probably tell he was listening very intently to his story, and his body was tense as he got more and more into the story as it proceeded.

"…'Come on!' Shikou cried as she tried to pull Kararu out of the building, then coughed when the smoke caught in her throat. 'No!' Kararu yelled angrily, ripping her arm out of Shikou's grip." Kararu paused for a few seconds, indicating to Ed that there was a scene change.

"As Challan rode his stallion as fast as he could towards the Rinamino residence, he knew he was too late when he saw the smoke rising heavily into the air. Once he got to the right street, he heard shouts and yells coming from outside the house. Thunder ran as fast as he could, and when they arrived at the scene, Challan saw that it was the governor that had done all of this.

"…'Hakami, what do you think your doing?' Challan yelled at him as he jumped from Thunder, saying a quick command to tell him to stay put. 'What do you think I'm doing Challan? I'm getting rid of these demon girls once and for all!' Hakami yelled to him. 'You don't have to kill them!' Challan replied as he ran for the entrance to the house, but someone grabbed him from behind.

"…'Let me go!' Challan yelled. 'I can't let you go in there!' The man who was holding him responded. 'No, I love Kararu! I need to get to her and Shikou! Please, let me go!' Challan yelled as he struggled against the mans grip. 'I can't!' 'I love Kararu Rinamino! Let me get her! I need to-' Challan yelled, then it seemed that all the yelling and the roar of the fire died away as a sound louder than that came to their ears. The building exploded."

Ed heard the book shut lightly. "Aww…do you have to end it there?" Ed asked, putting on his best pouting face.

"Yes. It's ten o'clock. Let's get some sleep and I'll read it to you in the morning." Kararu said. "Do you have any questions?"

"No…except for why the names of the twins in the story the same names as yours?" Ed asked.

"Well…you'll have to wait to the end of the book to find out about that." Kararu said, and Ed just knew she was smiling.

Ed sighed. "Fine. Come tell me if Shikou wakes up, I'm going to bed."

"Okay, night Ed."

"Night."

XxXxXxXxXxXx

xxAt Noon, the Next Dayxx

"So, how much longer did the conductor say it would be until we got there?" Mustang asked.

"Early tomorrow morning. Give it up Mustang; whining about it isn't going to change anything." Hughes argued.

"I agree. If you don't shut up, I'll be trying to murder you again, so don't try it." Hawkeye said, reaching for her gun to show him that she was serious.

"Okay, I get it, I get it!" Mustang said, holding up his hands in a sign of mercy.

"So, since we're all bored out of our minds here…why don't we start thinking of baby names?" Hughes asked excitedly.

"Hughes, n-" Mustang said, and was about to protest but was interrupted by Hawkeye.

"That sounds like a good idea Hughes." Hawkeye said.

"Okay…let's say that it's a boy. Names from either of you?" Hughes asked.

"Well…I guess that I like Leroy…since that was my fathers name…or Roy…or Thomas." Mustang said.

"Okay, Hawkeye, what about you?"

"I'd have to say Edward, Roy, Morgan or Leonard." Hawkeye replied.

"Okay, now if it were a girl." Hughes said. "Hawkeye, you first this time."

"I like the names Serim, Faith, Recka (pronounced 'Wrecka') and Kera." Hawkeye answered.

"All right, Mustang, your turn."

"I like the names Sara, Trinity, Hope, and Siala."

"Now, if I may make a suggestion."

"Yes?"

"How about Sasha?"

Mustang and Hawkeye looked at each other, grinned and nodded to Hughes. "We like it."

"Well, you still have eight and a half months to think about it, so don't get too tied up now." Hughes said with a silly grin.

"We know." Mustang said, reaching over to pull Hawkeye closer to him. "So…what to do now?"

"I don't know…"

XxXxXxXxXxXx

xxThat Nightxx

"…'So what are we going to do? Just let them do that to Challan?' Shikou asked Kararu as she turned to look at her twin. 'Everyone thinks we're dead Shikou. Even Challan. We don't matter to him anymore. They've forgotten about us.' Kararu replied. 'Kararu, listen to yourself!' Shikou said angrily. 'Shikou, he didn't come into the building after us! He doesn't care about me like I thought he did!' Kararu said, trying as hard as possible to stop the tears from flowing down her face." Kararu read from the book.

She had let Ed sleep until noon that day, since he got up at six and said that he couldn't sleep last night at all, so she just let him go back to bed. Shikou was still in her trance like state, so she couldn't do anything at the moment. Kararu had picked up the book after dinner and was reading to Ed, since they hadn't read any all day.

"…'Kararu, just listen to me. Maybe he did try to come in after us, but someone stopped him. Just think about that possibility for just one second, then tell me he didn't love you. He did tell me that he did, you know.' Shikou said." Kararu read, then looked over at Ed's chair next to Shikou on the couch, curled up. He looked like he had been listening, but looked like he had just fallen asleep.

Ed was half asleep at the moment, but didn't feel like waking up fully. He heard her lightly close the book, then set it down on the table and quietly get up. A moment later a blanket was lightly set on top of him and tucked underneath him. He heard her walk to the door, flip the little light switch, then whisper, "Good night Ed," then she walked out the door, then she was gone down the hall.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

xxTwo Hours Laterxx

Ed jerked awake when he heard someone scream. He sat up and then the scream became words.

"They're coming! They're coming! Oh my God, they're going to attack us! They're going to kill Ed! We have to get out of here!"

Ed recognized the voice to be Shikou's as he realized the voice was coming from the other end of the couch.

"Shikou! What's wrong?" Ed asked, reaching over to try to calm her down.

"Ed, they're going to try and kill you!" Shikou yelled. Ed had to cover his ears because of his sensitive hearing.

"Shikou! Ed! Everything all right?" Ed heard Kararu's voice yell as steps bounded the stairs to stand in the doorway, then run over to the couch they were both on.

"Kararu, we have to get out of here!" Shikou shrieked.

"Shikou, what are you saying?" Kararu asked.

"They're coming to kill Ed!"

"Who are they?"

"The Homunculi!"

Ed just somehow knew that Kararu went pale as a ghost.

"Ed, we need to go! Now!"

"But we need to stay!" Ed said.

"No, we need to go! Come on, I'll lead you out of the hou-" Kararu said, then there was the sound of smashing glass, and Ed had the feeling of the couch being turned over. He jumped off of it and threw Kararu and Shikou to the ground with him as he heard whatever it was that came through the glass fly over their heads.

"Well, well, well. Looky here Envy…I've found them." Said a voice that was childish and full of pride.

"Well done Wrath. Sloth! Lust! Greed! Help search the house, and Gluttony…set up explosives. Stop! Don't eat them this time, got it?"

"Yes…yes Envy…" A loud and greedy voice said, then there were loud footsteps running off into the distance outside.

Ed crawled over to the side of the couch that wasn't facing the window, and he heard Kararu and Shikou crawl after him, one getting on each side of them.

"Good night?" Ed asked, then turned to Kararu. "Yeah right!

"Well, excuse me!" Kararu hissed angrily.

"Wrath, Sloth, Greed, you three go check upstairs. Lust and I will search downstairs. It's time to find Edward Elric…and make him pay! We need the little brat alive, so don't kill him! Don't hurt him for that matter. Just bring him to me!"

Ed recognized the voice, and he suddenly had to clutch his head as he got a sudden headache.

"Ed? Are you all right?" Kararu whispered to him. Ed saw picture after picture of people pop into his mind. He didn't know any of them, but he somehow did…all seven of the people shown had a tattoo somewhere on their body, and he knew it was the sign of the arborous.

"My head…is pounding…" Ed whispered.

"Envy! I hear something in here!" Ed heard a woman's voice yell, and it seems she was almost to the doorway.

"Oh no, go!" Kararu whispered, then Ed felt her shove him in a direction. They were crawling across the floor until Ed thought they were in the kitchen, but he wasn't sure.

"FOUND THEM!" They heard a voice yell, then there was a surprised and painful shriek from Shikou as Ed heard her lift off of the ground, then he heard another window smash and a scream from Shikou, then all was silent.

"Shikou!" Kararu yelled, then Ed felt himself being pulled to his feet, and someone grab his hand. Kararu led him in a direction, and he was glad that he had her there, because otherwise, he would be lost. "Come on!"

"Hey guys, there here! Don't worry about hurrying. They won't get very far." Ed heard the voice say, then he and Kararu were both lifted off of the ground and were separated.

"Edward!" Kararu yelled.

"Kararu!" Ed yelled after her, then he felt himself hit the ground on his hip, where he already knew a bruise was forming. "Who or what are you?"

"My, my, my. He's only been missing for two weeks and he already doesn't remember us." The voice sounded pitiful. "I feel so hurt…"

"I have no idea who you are and what your talking about! I don't remember anything more than a week and a half ago!"

"Oh? Did Pride already get to him?" The voice asked.

"I guess so." The kid's voice said. Ed pulled himself to his feet, then he heard the rustle of grass to his other side and a gasp telling him that Kararu was all right.

"Kararu, are you all right?" Ed asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Kararu said, then he felt a small heat wave come from her direction, then it disappeared. When she spoke next, her voice was deeper and sounded a bit more evil…but Ed knew it was still her. "Let's take care of these bastards, shall we?" He heard her clap her hands, then shove them on the ground, and a surprised yelp came from one of the group in front of him.

"Damn, I forgot! She can use circle less alchemy! Be careful around her!" The commanding voice said. "Sloth, Greed, take care of the girl!"

"Right away." Two voices said, then Ed heard them run at Kararu and a heated battle broke out.

"Lust, grab Ed so we can give him a little wake up call and bring back his memories and sight."

"Be glad to." The woman's voice said, then Ed felt what was like pipes of steel wrap around him.

"Let me go!" Ed yelled as he tried to escape the grip he was in as he felt himself being lifted off of the ground.

"Feisty as ever, I see." The commanding voice said, then Ed felt himself land on the ground. "Wrath, do it!"

"Of course!" The child's voice said, then Ed felt a pair of cold hands being put on his temples. A moment later, his headache that he had previously forgotten about came back full force as image after image, memory after memory popped into his head. Then, Ed went limp in the grip of his attacker, then the cold hands were put on his eyes. A few words were muttered, then the hands were pulled away and his attacker released him of the grip and he fell to the ground.

This time, when he opened his eyes like normal, a burst of dark green and darkness came to his eyes. He blinked, then brought his head up to see a child in front of him, grinning like an idiot as he pushed some long black hair out of his purple eyes.

"Envy, oh Envy, he remembers! He sees me now!" The child said, jumping up and down, clapping.

"Wrath…" Ed muttered as he pulled himself up onto his feet. He looked at the four Homunculi in front of him, Wrath jumping around happily, Gluttony staring at him with wide, greedy eyes, Lust staring at him with a small smile in its face and Envy sat there, in all its leadership glory, looking at its handiwork with pride.

"So, do you remember now why we've come?" Envy asked.

"No. Not yet." Ed said, looking down at his hands to see that nothing about them was changed.

"I have some important business with Scar related to the stone that I must discuss with him. Gluttony, come with me." Lust said.

"But Lust, I wanted to stay…"

"Come!"

"All right…"

"Wrath, you come too."

"But…"

"No buts! Now!"

"All right…" Then, Lust, Gluttony and Wrath all seemed to disappear at the same time.

"So, they're going to do your work?" Ed asked.

"You could say that. Since the old hag, Dante died, I've been the leader around here. I'm starting to like it." Envy said, crossing its arms across its chest as it started at him.

"Let's finish it!" Ed yelled, then clapped his hand and made his automail a sword and ran at Envy. Envy didn't expect Ed to move so quickly, so he was shoved to the ground by Ed. Ed clapped his hands and shoved them on the ground, creating little pieces of cement that seemed to glue Envy to the ground.

"Damn you!" Envy yelled at Ed as he tried to get up, but found he couldn't.

"Heh, now see how you like being left in the dark." Ed said with a smirk, then he heard something that made his heart miss half a beat. A scream calling his name.

"Edward!"

He turned around to see a girl trapped in Greed's overly large grip, its hand around the girl's neck. Her long black hair shimmered in the moonlight as the red streaks gave it an evil glow. Two little triangular shaped, midnight black dog ears that were on top of her head twitched and swiveled around as two black tails flicked and shimmered in the light. The glow of her crimson eyes was one of the things that Ed noticed immediately about her, and she just looked so familiar to him yet…distant. She screamed again, this time quieter and she seemed to be loosing air.

"Edward!"

Ed then recognized the voice and his heart stopped.

It was Kararu.

"Kararu! I'm coming!" Ed yelled as he ran towards her. Sloth had long since disappeared, and Envy was still stuck to the ground. Ed dove at Greed, shoving it to the ground knocking its hand off of Kararu, and when she hit the ground Ed heard her gasp and sputter for air. Ed clapped his hand and did the same thing that he did with Envy: cement him to the ground. When Ed turned to Kararu next, he saw her sitting up, staring at the person in front of her with wide eyes.

The thing before her shoved a few strands of short, dark brown hair behind its ear to reveal a pair of stunning blue eyes.

"Arlic? Is that you?" Kararu gasped out.

"Yes, it's me Kararu. Just let me look into your eyes." The creature knelt down next to her and she looked into its eyes and its into hers.

"No, Kararu, don't!" Ed yelled, remembering what this Homunculus could do. He ran at them and shoved them to the ground. Ed jumped up and pulled Kararu to her feet and ran with her behind him away from the Homunculus, which was following them. Kararu tripped, and Ed reached back and picked her up bridal style so he could run faster.

He ran until he reached the other side of the house, then turned to see that the Homunculus wasn't casing them anymore. Ed set Kararu back on the ground and gasped for air. Then, he heard a little clicking noise and then he muttered, "Oh shit…"

The air around them became still and a sound filled their ears that made them want to scream. Ed shoved Kararu onto the ground, him on top to protect her as a loud boom echoed around them. Then, the force of the explosion hit them. The pressure was too much than their brains could handle, so their heads rolled to the side onto the ground as they fell unconscious.
