Ed was shivering, but he wasn't about to give her the satisfaction of knowing that. To be honest, he didn't know if they could trust this Kuri girl or her brother Saito.
They looked like aliens to him, with their blue hair. She might be a demon like she said…but was her brother? They didn't look alike, except for the hair color. He had blue eyes.
"Brother?" Al slid a piece of pumpkin pie to him and a steaming cup of cocoa. "Stop being so suspicious. We're safe here, can't you feel it?"
Ed sighed. "Al…we were already hurt once."
"Hello new arrivals! I'm Mana Ningyo," a halfway normal looking girl said. She had long dark hair and blue eyes. "You two are from the same time period as me, so I can help you get used to the technology around."
Kuri appeared around the corner. "You guys still hungry? I brought Al some chicken from dinner. Ed did you want more?"
Ed stuck his fork in the pie and ate some of it.
"Edo-kun...I am sorry about her," Kuri said. "I wish…I should have foreseen it; she's been acting bored for days."
She was looking down and her blue hair was covering her face. The ornate arrangement in her hair was askew from running around in the wind. Ed was shocked to find that she was so upset.
"H-Hey…" he put a hand on her shoulder. "It's alright. Sure it was scary…but you made it stop."
She looked up, smiling a bit. Her smile made her kind of cute…for a demon.
"There you are," a cheerful redhead said. She wasn't anywhere near as scary as Sayura, in fact, her hair was short and nearly pink. "The new arrivals and my wayward best friend. Hi guys, I'm Reiko Fujiwara. This is my brother, Shimano."
"Let me guess," Ed replied, fork halfway in his mouth. "You guys are demons too."
"Well sort of," Shimano said, trying not to laugh at the annoyed alchemist.
"They are both kitsune," Kuri said. "Fox demons. Reiko's my best friend. Ane-san, could you tell me next time that bitch tries something like this?"
"Maybe you should have foreseen it," another strange-looking boy said, glaring at her from across the table.
Whoa! Ed thought. Those two look they're trying to kill each other on looks alone!
The boy was barely taller than Kuri, clad in black and with raven black hair.
"Inoue-sama…I don't know how to get premonitions like that," Hitomi said.
"Hn…you should stop taking on new projects," Inoue said. "You need to worry more for yourself and stop getting on Sayura's bad side. It's foolish."
"Funny, I didn't know she had a good side," a regular looking boy said. He was the same height as Shimano, while shorter than Reiko. "Inoue, lighten up. Kuri's not an idiot as far as I can figure, so give her a break."
Reiko laughed. "You tell 'em, Jiro!"
Kuri stood. "Ed, Al, I'll go get someone who's in your dorm."
She turned and yelled. "Oi Hiro!"
A boy with shockingly violet hair came over. "What?"
"Take them to the Alchemy dorm please," Kuri said. "Night boys."
Ed and Al then allowed themselves to be escorted out of the dining area.
