Ok, I'm happy for any reviews, honestly, but unless I get more reviews, no more chapters. . Enjoy

--Chapter Three--

Kat sensed the presence of some-one else in the room. She opened her eyes and glanced around. For some odd reason Winry was standing in the middle of the room (the bed was pushed up against a wall) staring at her. Kat sat up and asked the blonde,

"Um... Why are you staring at me like that?" The mechanic struggled for words for a moment before replied as quickly as she could

"Ifoundthisinyourpocketanditwouldn'topen." Winry took another breath and continued " soitriedtoopenitbutibrokeitIMSORRYIMSORRYIMSORRYIMSORRY!" She finished, holding out the remains of a golden locket. Kat sighed and was about to tell Winry that its ok, but Pinako walked in. She stopped and looked at Winry, then at Kat, then back to Winry, before noticing the locket in Winry's hand. Winry walked over to her with her head down. Pinako took the remains from her and spoke to Kat,

"We will fit you with automail for free if you give us this locket." Kat let a smile grace her lips as she nodded to the old woman. Without saying anything the two walked out of the room. 'Well... that was odd.' thought Kat as Ed entered the room. Kat sighed and flung herself back on the bed. 'What the hell made me do this! Ah... of course... it was the girl. Damn' Ed pulled a chair up to her and grinned at her. Kat blinked, sat up, and opened her mouth to inquire as to why he was grinning at her like that when he tackled her. He wrapped his arms around her and kept grinning into her chest (above her breasts you pervs.) She gazed down at him with wide eyes. 'What the fucking hell?' Just at that inopportune moment Al walked in. He gaped at the scene.( A/N- well, what would you think if you walked in on that scene?) Al walked over to Kat, who was still wondering why Ed had latched onto her like that. He stood by the chair that Ed was still half-way sitting in. Kat looked back and forth between them and finaly tried to pry Edward off of herself. After watching her struggle with his older brother, Al helped Kat get Ed off of her. Ed finally was coaxed to sit down and told Kat why he had entered her room.

"Tommorow Aunt Pinako and Winry will attach your leg auto-mail. And a few days after that, once you recover, they will attach your arm auto-mail." Kat smiled and nodded to Ed. Al spoke next.

"You woke up really late today and you should at least try to get some sleep because your going to need all your energy tomorrow when you get your new leg!" Kat smiled at them and laid down on the soft bed while Ed and Al walked out of the room.

—during operation--

Kat bit down on her left fist while Winry and Pinako worked on her right leg. They were almost done, and had told her so, but it wasn't any consolation. The pain was almost unbearable, but she had been through worse and she would be damned if she was going to let auto-mail make her scream. Blood trickled down from where she had dug her teeth into her own skin. The two stopped their work and stepped away.

"All done!" Proclaimed Winry. Kat wasn't able to stay awake much longer but she lapped at the blood running down her hand from her teeth marks and offered the auto-mail mechanics a grin before passing out completely.

/\/\/\/\:One Day later/\/\/\/\:

Kat awoke to the sound of wind chimes. 'What the fuck? Wind chimes?' Her eyes flew open and darted around the room (her eyes did). No wind chimes. Odd. Pinako walked in with a bowl of water and a rag. She walked over to Kat and place a wet rag on her forehead. She spoke before Kat was able to form her thoughts into a coherent sentence.

"You were out for the longest time I have ever seen after a transplant. Ed and Al were getting worried and Winry was wondering if she had done something wrong." Kat didn't say anything but simply blinked. Pinako sighed and left the room hesitantly.

Kat sat up after the door closed and gazed at her new leg. It shined in the sunlight streaming in her window. With her legs stretched out in front of her, Kat could see that the auto-mail was proportionate to her real leg. She reached down with her left hand and touched the cold steel. Her fingers ghosted over it as she thought about the reasons that she gave up her powers as a Pheonix. 'It wasn't only the little girl. No... there was something here. But what? I can't remember. Why can't I remember? I know part of it was the love and sorrow around them. But there was something else. But what is it!'

Just then Ed walked in and sat by her bed. He grinned and started talking,

"Aunt Pinako told us that you were awake so I decided..." He trailed off when he saw the look on her face and what she was staring at. His eyes narrowed in anger.

"What is it? Is it not good enough for you?" Kat snapped of her daze and shook her head quickly.

"It's not the auto-mail! I was simply thinking about things." Ed made a soft 'oh' noise and waited to see if Kat would continue, but seeing that she wasn't going to give him any other information, he started talking again.

"Winry was so worried that she had done something wrong, since accidents do happen, even with mechanics as good as them. Armstrong had to drag her out of your room kicking and screaming to get her to relax a bit. She's asleep right now, but I could wake her up, if you want." Kat furrowed her eyebrows a bit before replying,

"No, let her sleep." She paused before continuing, " Do you know when the procedure is to attach auto-mail to my shoulder is?" Ed thought for a moment before replying with,

"I think... either tomorrow or the day after that. Depending on how you feel." Kat nodded and smiled a bit. Ed stood up and slapped a grin on his face.

"Well, are you ready to test out your new and improved leg?" Kat nodded and swung her legs over the side of the bed. First she moved her metal leg to get a hang of the controls. Ed explained a few things to her and helped her, since out of every-one in the house, he had been the only one to actually use auto-mail, except for the dog, and now Katrina. After doing that for quite a while Ed deemed her ready to stand. She balanced and started to move forward with a slight limp. After pacing the room and few times she started to move with more confidence. After a few more paces she was walking like she still had her normal leg. Ed was grinning like a madman.

"Well", Ed stated proudly, "Lets go show them what you can do!" Kat gave him a smile and walked out of the room after him.

/\/\/\/\: Two Days Later /\/\/\/\:

Kat growled as Winry and Pinako worked on her shoulder. Kat snapped her teeth down on her wrist, but muffled groans and growls were still heard from the former Phoenix. Her neck was bent away from her right shoulder to allow the engineers better access to her shoulder. A severe jolt of pain shot through her upper body and she whimpered a bit. 'God Damn that hurts like hell.' Was the only coherent thought floating through her mind at the moment. Her body was tensed up and she knew that if she didn't relax she would not only be really feeling it in the morning but the mechanic's job was even harder. Pinako tried to get her to relax a bit but Kat just couldn't. Blood started to run down her chin, but she was to absorbed in the pain to notice it. She shut he eyes tight and tried to keep her ragged breathing under control. After about half-hour more of agony Winry and Pinako once again stepped away from Katrina and announced that they were finished until it was time to attach the actual arm (they attached her leg while she was asleep after the first procedure). She groaned and passed out.

Yea... that's it for this chapter. Oh! By the way, I put anyone that submits a signed review on my favorite authors list, if that's any incentive.
