Chapter 5

A Nightmere And A Thank You

"Ahahaha! You can't catch me Hikari! Hahaha!" squealed a six year old Kaname. She was small and had wavey, light brown hair that was up in two pigtails. She was wearing a light green dress that went up to her knees and black Mary-Jane style, single buckle shoes.

"Kaname! Wait! We have to go back to the village! Mom'll be wondering where we are, and Matsuo's getting tired! Besides, we're supposed to be going to dinner at the Asakashi's home!" her older sister Hikari yelled up to her. She was nine years old and she had blue eyes and long, dark brown hair. She was wearing an outfit similar to Kaname's, except her's was light blue and her hair was loose with a blue ribbon in it. She was the spitting image of their mother while, Kaname herself, was a mixture of her mother and father. She had her mother's hair but her father's eyes.

"Kari! Kana! Wait for me!" along came their four year old brother, Matsuo. He was a cute little child with his boyish-charm, just like thier father. In fact, he looked exactly like him. Short, shaggy, black hair and hazel green eyes. He was wearing a pair of dark green shorts and overcoat, a white, button-up undershirt and black dress shoes.

"Fine, fine! Let's go back then." sighed the young Kaname. They trudged along a winding, dirt path back to their small village, Dal-Ida. It was a tiny place. In North-America. No one had ever heard of and/or seen it. It was hidden... unknown... concealed. It was a quaint little town, no robberies, rapists, killers or other wrong and sick people or things. Stores weren't there either. For food they hunted and grew crops. For clothes they used animal hide in the cold weather and other times. But there were those rare occasions where they would exit the confines of their land to go into a city or town to get needed supplies. All in all, Dal-Ida was a very secretive place.

While nearing their home, the three sibilings saw smoke rising from their beloved town.

"What the...? The village! It-it's burning!" cried Hikari. She quickly sprinted to the village, but not before yelling back to her brother and sister, "Stay here! I'm gonna go find out what's going on!" The small girl and boy nodded quietly and went to hide in the bushes.

Hours passed and yet, Hikari hadn't yet returned for them. Kaname sighed frustratedly, then stood abruptly.

"Arg! I'm going to go see what's taking sissy so long to come back. Stay here Mat, I'll come back for you, so don't worry." she was just about to take off, when she suddenly felt a small hand take her's, gently. She looked down into the soft green eyes of her younger brother.

"Be careful sissy... and... come back soon." Kaname smiled and bent down slightly to hug him. He embraced her back, then they each let go and Kaname spoke,

"Don't worry... I will." she then took off and raced to her home.

"Mommy! Daddy! Kari! Hello? Is anyone he-" she stepped out of the forest and gasped at what she saw. Bodies were littered everywhere, lying in pools of crimson, red liquid. Houses were burning and smoke was invading all of her senses. A putrid smell was lingering in the air. It was enough to make a skunk gag. "Wh-what h-happened he-er?" Kaname whispered. Her entire village was destroyed.

She ran over the bodies, and made her way to one hut in particular... her home.

"Mamma! Daddy! Sissy!" she cried upon entering her home. "Oh-no." she mouthed. She collapsed to her knees and sobbed into the corps that was once her mother's, Hotarue. "MAMMA!" she wailed. Kaname shakily lifted her head, which now, had traces of blood on it, and she scanned the room, only to see, what seemed to be, Nobu, her father's body. "Daddy..." she breathed. Suddenly, she saw her sister crawling across the floor to her. Her forehead had a terrible gash across it and blood was dribbling out from the corner of her mouth. A few bullet wounds were in her chest and were bleeding profusly.

"Ka-Ka-Kana-me." she slurred out. Kaname immedeatly ran to her sister and kneeled next to her.

"S-sissy? Wh-what h-happened h-ere?" she asked, her voice full of pain and confusion.

Hikari lifted her hand and pointed to the door and said, "Be-behind y-you." before her hand fell, limp, to the floor and her body was lifeless.

Kaname, slowly turned around to the doorway to be met with a gruesome sight. Her little brother, with a rope around his neck, and three large and deep, bloody wounds upon his torso. His neck was also slit with blood still running from it. His mouth was open with blood dripping out. His eyes were open and wide, but they were dark and had no spark in them, whatsoever.

The man who was holding the rope, smiled wickedly at her and his eyes were wide in craze. Then he spoke with a trembling, yet, frighting voice,

"Hello... Kaname."

"NO!" Kaname yelled out loud. She had just woken up from a terrible nightmere. She was gasping for breath and she was covered with a cold sweat. She clutched the covers of her bed while she trembled uncontrolably.

"T-that was h-horrible." she whispered. Kaname looked around her room, making sure that nothing was going to attack her. Once she was satisfied, she swung her feet out of bed and stood up on shakey legs. She slowly walked to her door and silently turned the knob, "I need some air."

She silently walked downstairs and out the door.

Ed's POV

"Wh-what?" I had suddenly woken up to hearing someone yell. It sounded like Kaname. I hope she's okay! I quickly, but silently jumped out of bed and hurried to my door, opening it slightly. I peeked out into the hall and saw Kaname going downstairs.

"What could be wrong?" I wondered aloud. I crept out of my door and followed her outside.Without being spotted, I stepped outside and noticed her sitting on the front steps of the house. I gulped and took a deep breath. 'Here goes nothing.' I thought.

"Umm.. Hey." I said to her. She spun her head around and looked at me surprised. Wow... the way the moon hit her right now was magical, she looked even more beautiful than she did before.

"Oh! Ed! It's you." she said with surprise. I scratched my neck and laughed nervously.

"Umm... yeah... Sorry if I scared you." I said apologeticly. She blinked a few times then smiled that lovely smile of hers.

"Nah... It's okay." she laughed. Silence passed for a few minutes before she broke it. "Umm. Do you wanna sit down?" she asked me hesitantly. I smiled and replied,

"Sure." so I did. We sat for a few moments in comfortable silence just staring at the stars. Until she once again broke it,

"Umm, hey Ed?" she began. I looked at her.

"Yeah?" I was curious as to what she wanted.

"Thanks... umm... for you know... uh... saving me... and uh you know..." I looked at her oddly 'You know'? What did she mean?

"Uhhh... yeah, but what do you mean by 'You know'?" I asked her. Kaname looked at me through the corner of her eyes.

"You know... comforting me... Winry's the only one, besides you to have comforted me since I was six."

Normal POV

Ed looked at Kaname oddly again. "What do you mean? Doesn't your family comfort you when you're upset?" he asked her. A grim look spread across Kaname's face and Ed quickly regretted asking the question.

"They're dead." she answered solomnly. Ed looked down in shame and nodded.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked." he said looking up at her. She turned her head, slightly, to look at him. A small, sad smile played at her lips.

"Don't worry about it." she said "There was no way you could have known." Ed smiled, slightly, back at her.

'She's really nice. I mean, I thought that I had offended her by saying that, but she just brushed it off. I'm sure that inside, she's upset about her family. I won't ask her about it, though. But it's gonna be hard... Man... this must be how others feel when they want to know how Al got his armor and I got my Auto-Mail, limbs. Heh. It's kind of a wierd feeling... I think.' Ed thought. 'Now I know... It's not just lust, after all... I do love her.'

"Hey Kaname?" he asked her.

"Hmm? Yeah Ed?" Kaname looked over at her new friend curiously.

Ed gulped and took a deep breath, "Do you... uh... want to... erm... gooutandhavebreakfastwithmetomorrowmorning?" he said all too fast. Kaname replayed what he said, in her mind and broke it down. Finally she understood what he had said, and she blushed.

"Erm... sure. I'd love to!" she exclaimed and smiled, the blush still on her cheeks. Inside, Ed could've melted at the sight before him. A gorgeous girl was smiling the loveliest smile he had ever seen and she looked even more beautiful with that pink tint on her cheeks...

'Did she just say... yes?' he was almost in a frenzy.

"R-really?" he asked increudiously. Kaname merely nodded,

"Mm-hmm!" Ed sighed, dreamily and his eyes had gone into a daze. He was daydreaming, about him and her on their 'date', when he was suddenly snapped out of his thoughts by Kaname waving her hand in front of his face,

"Yoo-hoo! Ed? Are you still in there?" she inquired, laughing slightly.

"H-huh?" he blinked, "Oops. Yeah, sorry 'bout that." he laughed, blushing and rubbing the back of his neck embarassed. Kaname giggled at his spacey moment.

"S'ok!" she replied still laughing, "I do it all the time!"

'Do what all the time? Daydream about us on a date?' his inner-voice was soft and all dreamy.

"It's getting late. We should go back to bed." he said. 'Yeah... So that I can dream...' Ed thought 'Dream about us going out on dates!'

"Yeah you're right. Well, g'night Ed. And thanks again." Kaname replied standing up and heading back inside.

"No problem." Ed answered to no one.
