Author Notes: This is a story that is not a crossover with One Litre of Tears but more of using some of the stories ideas and putting some of my own (And Pengins') together to form my own version of 'One Litre of Tears' hope you all enjoy it. OMG! I forgot to add that this is in a AU.

Disclaimer: I own Fullmetal Alchemist! …. Wait… no…. That's still Arakawa Sensei's ….. (There is no way that I own it if I did I wouldn't have wrote a fanfiction…I think..)

Chapter 2: You're my Friend. Yet my Enemy.

Treating Ed's wound: 8:30pm

"Ed you just sit there while I'm getting a wet cloth." Pinako hastily said.

While Pinako grabbed a cloth and ran it in cold water, Ed sat there gritting his teeth in pain and heard footsteps. It's not just one footstep it's a whole load of footsteps coming down from the hills where their house was built closest to.

"Obaa-san. What's happening outside?" Ed asked in pain.

Pinako looked up to the windowsill and sighed. "It's the military soldiers again." Pinako walked over to Ed and handed the cloth to him to treat it himself, as she's too short to reach him (1). "It seems like they had another fight and won. But they sure do have a lot of wounds on them."

Ed looked up at the ceiling, "They might not have won." Pinako gave him a look that says 'How do you know?' He knows what she's thinking by just looking at that face she gave him. "Just look at their faces. They're not happy that means they either lost or let the people run away."

"They could be just tired. You never know."

"Exactly. We never know what happened because were not there we can keep guessing but we would never know what happens until someone told us or we heard it from some other people. If you heard it from some other people then that could just be rumours. We can never know." Ed explained.

"Oh don't give me that young man! I can guess whatever I like, and you just trust in scientific explaination and all that crap really! Right okay how did you wound yourself like this?" Pinako finally asked the most obvious question she was thinking

of.

"I just fell from the stairs." Ed answered. Pinako looked straight at him, she took off her glasses and wiped it. "How did you fall?"

"I lost my footing"

"Were you going up or down?"

"Up"

"And landed forwards?"

"Yes"

"Where were your hands?"

"Why are you asking me all these questions?"

"Just answer me! Where were your hands?"

"By my side."

After a long silence: 9:00pm

"Were back!" A happy cheerful voice screamed around the house.

"Winry! What took you two so long?" Pinako walked in and scoulded straight away.

"Sorry Pinako-san but there was a lot of military soldiers coming down from the cliff so we have to wait until their gone. Where's Nii-san?" Al asked looking around the house.

"He said he wanted a walk so he went oustside with Den." Pinako answered while poping her pipe into her mouth.

Winry looked at Als' worried face and shyly said. "Um… I'm sure he'll be okay! Because it's Ed! And I'm sure he wouldn't do anything to make you worry about him."

"I guess your right. I just have to trust him more." Al looked and Winry and gave her a sweet little smile. She looked at him and her face has turned into a dark crimson color, she puts her hand on her face and ran to her room.

"Ha! That girl. When she's around her friends she's always so bossy and loud but when she's around you she turns more like a girl." Pinako teased the poor shy mechanic while blowing smoke out of pipe.

And Al just tilted his head and had a confuse look on his face.

Ed and Den's walk in some kind of forest: 10:00pm

Ed followed the cliff up where the military people were coming back from and Den followed where Ed goes. He goes up the cliff and at the end he has to go down. He turned and twisted everywhere that is covered with branches and thorns.

'What could've happened here? Why did they come here to this place?' Ed thought to himself. Not long until he found a pitch-black tunnel. Both of them walked in and Ed whispered, "So you're the one they're after?" In front of him was an injured man. He had hazel skin and on his forehead was a scar that made like a cross. His eyes showed a dark crimson red colour that slowly looked up at Ed. His left arm had tatoos on them that made out a strange pattern.

"Well… I guess you couldn't help it as the military did kill the Ishval people no wonder you would hate them that much that you would kill some of them." Ed went closer to him. He clapped his hands together, 'If I do this then I'll…. But saving someones life is more important!' He put his hands onto his wounds and the wound slowly heals up.

His tatooed arm started having glowing. His arm reacted to his alchemy. 'This kid…' he thought to himself.

"Oi! Kid! Why're you helping me?" His deep voice asked him.

"Well… I can't actually think of a reason to help someone so… you can just say that you're my friend." Ed said calmly.

The man looked at him in shock. 'Friend?'

"Why're you here?"

"I was curious… I was talking to Obaa-san about we might never find out what happened to the military soldiers and then I thought I want to know. Do you have anyone else with you or are you alone?"

"Alone…"

"You took them all out alone? Using alchemy?"

"Yes. This arm, it is the arm that my brother gave me before he died… Using alchemy is the same as going aginst God himself. At first I wondered why he gave me his arm but now I know why. It's because he wants me to cleanse the sins of those that goes against God. And for that I will cleanse it with this arm."

"…. That's really something. Even though I wouldn't agree with you about the whole God and using alchemy is a sin thing I still admire you for being so devoted so devoted that your not scared of anything because you believe in something I find that really admirable."

"You…"

"Well! That's done so… maybe I'll see ya around?"

"I'm staying here over night."

Ed smiled and walked away from him and waved, with his back turned against him.

When Ed left him alone there was a tiny smile on his face. "Friend…"

Morning: 9:00am

Ed sat up straight on his bed, his hair let down to his shoulder and he looked straight ahead. 'The dream again… it just won't stop.' After a long thought he got changed and he heard someone knocking on the door. "Ed?" It was Pinako's voice. "Ed I want you to come with me to central." Eds' eyes widened. 'I thought she hated the military..'

"Obaa-san…" Ed couldn't find anything to say but, "okay but I need to go somewhere first."

"I'll wait in the train station, and I told Winry that were going to elsewhere so she and Al won't worry." Pinakos' footsteps slowly disappear.

Inside the Cave: 9:25am

"Aren't you gonna ask why I came?" Ed asked

"There's no need for a friend to ask these questions." He answered. Ed looked up at him and smiled. "What's your name kid?"

"Edward….Edward Elric yours?"

"They all just calls me Scar. I'm not worthy enough to use my real name."

"Is it because one of your sins and God things?"

"They are not what you call 'things' they are beliefs and religion. Talking to someone like you won't understand these kinda stuff anyway."

They both gave a chuckle until Ed stood up and started to walk away.

"Going already?"

" Yeah.. I'm going to central." Scars' face slowly changes, he couldn't believe what he just heard. "Bye..."

After hevanised from his sightthere was a frown on his face. "Enemy…"
