A new character named Jessica. (won't show up ever again. You'll see why)
"Finally! We're done!"
"Shut up, Inu. It wasn't that bad."
"What do you mean? We cleaned the kitchen this morning, then we had to AGAIN, and THEN we had to clean the stables."
(They live on a ranch)
"It still wasn't that bad. You kept sitting down every five minutes, and I kept cleaning."
"It's only fair that I get more breaks so you can catch up in work force, you royal shortness."
Ed just shrugged, and walked out of the stables. Inu got a little worried. Why didn't he explode? Oh well. Time for...REVENGE!
Ed was sitting in an apple tree. He and Al had planted it a couple of years ago, and it was growing really strong.
Why would she say that? 'All's fair in love and war'? She probably meant 'love' for Shippou. But still...
Not again. Not ever again.
He can't fall for that whole love-thing again. Once was enough.
Flash Back
"Ed."
"Hello my dearest Jessica, and how are we today?"
"Ed, we need to talk."
"What is there to talk about? We're in love!"
At least,that's what I thought.
"Ed..."
"What's wrong? You keep saying my name like it's a whole sentance."
"Ed, we need to stop this."
"Stop? Stop what? "
"I really like you, and these past few months have been like a dream, but it has got to stop."
"Why? I thought--"
"Because we never fight! It'd be great for most people, but it's just NOT HEALTHY! I need somone to challenge me!"
"You're already seeing someone else, huh?"
silence
"Yes."
"Who?"
"Naraku. Good bye, Ed"
End Flash Back
The odd thing about that memory, it never had images. It was just voices, and Ed could never forget hers. They'd never seen each other since, but then again, it was better that way. What would two ex-relationship-partners do anyways?
footsteps
"Ed."
"What, Winry?"
silence
"Is something wrong, Ed?"
"Just thinking."
"Jessica?"
Winry had been the one Ed had told first. She had understood. Naraku was supposed to be in a relationship with her. So when Ed told her, she called Naraku, and broke it off with him. They both were pretty quiet for a few days, but they got over it. Mostly.
Ed climbed down, and looked Winry in the eye.
"She's still here, Winry."
"I know Ed."
They walked up to the house, where Inu and Kouga were making dinner. Or Inu was, at least.
