A/N: Oh my god I am so so so sorry for not updating! I knew that it had been a while since I last updated, but I didn't realize that it had been about a month! To tell the truth I had been working on my Naruto one and I totally forgot about this one, please don't hate me. Right now I am into the whole Sasuke x Sakura couple and I got so into that story. Once again I apologize. I promise not to make all of you wait a month for the next chapter, and I know that this is a short chapter, but bear with me. Anyway R&R!

Chapter six

Winry was sitting on a chair in some part of the Central HQ. 'Why is this place so big? I mean the military doesn't need all this does it? And to top things off as soon as we got here they Ed ran into that room yelling something about a bastard colonel and sat me in this chair telling me to stay! How could he do such a thing and I have no idea were Al is!' Winry leaned her head back against the wall waiting. 'I could look around but if Ed found me missing he would freak out, especially after what happened tonight.' Winry turned her head to the door when she heard some yelling from the room. 'What the hell is Ed all worked up in there about? Maybe some one called him short? Na he wouldn't get like that now, would he?' She looked down at her feet sighing. 'I know better, that's probably why…but what is he getting all upset about?' I have to know!'

Winry got up slowly from the chair. Looking around her to make sure that no one else was around she pressed her ear to the door to try to hear what they we saying.

"What the hell do you mean that you can't assign a couple men to protect her?" Winry took a sharp intake of breath as she heard Ed yell this.

"I told you we are trying to get to the bottom of this whole thing with the impersonators. We just don't have time or men to protect one little girl." Winry thought that it was Colonel Mustang talking, but she wasn't sure.

"So instead you give me a mission to some god knows part edge of the country! What the hell do you have up you're sleeve?"

"It was assigned to you by some one higher then me. There is nothing that I can do about it."

"The hell you can't! You know every loop hole in the entire army, how can you not know a way out for me?"

"I told you that this one was sent to you by someone above me. When that happens there is nothing that I can do! Now just shut up and leave my office!"

"Not until you give her protection! I refuse to leave when she isn't protected!" Ed yelled. Winry just kept as still as possible as she listened.

"I told you that there is nothing that I can do about the girl! If you are so worried about her just take her with you!"

"That's great out of the frying pan and into the fire, eye colonel?"

"Well it is either take her with you or leave her here in you're dorm."

"God damn it colonel you really hate her don't you!" Ed seemed beyond pissed right now. To tell the truth Winry was kind of scared, she had never heard Ed so mad. Even when she had opened his watch, or when she broke his toy train when they were kids to see the gears. He had almost killed her for that one.

"It isn't that I don't like her, but things are just as I told you. If it were up to me I would give you as many men as you wanted, but I can't so stop yelling and get out of my office… oh and Ed, I want you're decision by tonight. Remember you're train departs at 8:00 tomorrow morning."

All that Winry heard was a muffled ok and footsteps coming toward her. She quickly stepped away from the door and sat in her chair. Right as she did the door opened and Ed stepped out. He looked tired from the lack of sleep and extremely pissed off. When he saw her worried look Winry noticed that his face softened.

"Come on Win. We should get going." Ed offered his flesh hand to her. Winry took it with out a second thought and started walking with him.

"Hey Ed?" She asked, they were still walking and Winry noticed that he wasn't letting go of her hand.

"Yeah?"

"Were are we going?"

"Back to the dorm. Mustang was able to get a couple of security guards to watch the building for the night."

"Ok" Winry and Ed walked to the dorm. The walk was a quite one, but comfortable.

When they got to the dorm Ed locked the door while Winry walked over to the couch. Right before she sat down she felt a pair of strong arms around her shoulders holding her arms down, one metal one flesh.

"Ed…" Winry asked confused. He was burying his face in the top of her hair deeply inhaling her sent.

"Winry I have to ask you a question."

"What is it?"

"Would you….would you rather stay here or come with me to the Northern region?" Ed asked, Winry noticed his grip slightly tightening on her.

"Ed…I told you that I am tired of being separated from you. Wherever you go I go. I don't care where we go as long as we are together." Winry answered as she sunk back into his chest.

"Winry you know that it will be dangerous. I mean I don't know what we will face."

"Ed I feel safer with you then I do if I am surrounded by a hundred body guards. All I want is to be with you." Winry turned around in his arms so that she was facing him. "I am tired of just waiting for you. And I want to know what you do. I mean how the hell you brake my auto mail, I really have never seen anyone go through as many auto mail parts as you." Winry smiled at him.

"I was hoping that you wouldn't bring up the auto mail." Ed answered, his arms moving to her waist and a playful smirk on his face.

"Well at least now you won't have to travel so far for you're auto mail repairs." Winry playfully smiled at him.

"I take it that you're coming with me then." Ed asked as she snuggled into his chest.

"Yep."

"No telling other you wise hun?"

"Are you really going to try?"

"Do you have the wrench?"

"Yep."

"Then no."

"Good answer." Winry giggled as they stood there.

"Winry…"

"Yes Ed." They separated a little and looked at each other in the eyes.

"Where do you even keep that wrench?"

&&&&&&&&

Outside their window in a dark ally a shadow stood perfectly still watching them.

"Tomorrow Fullmetal. Tomorrow will be the day when you're whole world will fall apart." It whispered as it slowly turned and walked away. "She will be mine and you will die!" was all that it said as it left.
