Shizue Suoh glares at her son in silence inside her study room. Fuzuru stares at his mother. He did not look nervous nor did he look frightened. He was serious as if this were a meeting with one of his business partners.

Shizue clears her throat and speaks. "Fuzuru," she says. "What on earth were you thinking when you brought those brats in my home?"

"Mother-"

"Silence!" she snaps. "You do not speak unless I am done."

He stays quiet.

Shizue sighs through her nose and walks to the window. "When I heard the news that you and that boy went to Resembool without my knowing, I was angry. More then angry, I was furious." she stops in front of the window and turns her head around to look at Mr. Suoh.

"I forbid you the moment those boys were born that you were to never set foot on that place again. I told you time and time again and yet, you disobey me like the ungrateful son you are."

"Mother, I had to go. Trisha died and Edward and Alphonse were left with-"

"Enough." she silences him again. "I don't want to hear that womens name. Not now, not ever."

Mr. Suoh narrows his eyes angrily. "May I remind you mother, Trisha died just a few days ago and left behind three grieving sons who happen to be your grandsons. How dare you speak ill of Trisha in this time?"

Shizue rolls her eyes at her sons immaturity. "Please Fuzuru. Alive or dead, my opinion of her will not change."

"That is heartless mother. This is the mother of your grandsons and the women I love. I don't understand why you still hold a grudge of my love for Trisha."

"Because she was not the women for you." Shizue faces her entire body to her son. "Before, I picked out a wonderful women for you to wed. But then, your car broke down in Resembool and that's when you met her." she sneered the last word. "I didn't approve of your relationship with her before, nor do I accept it now."

Silence fell between the two. Mother and son did not speak, instead they let her words sink it.

This moment brought back the moment his mother found out his relationship with Trisha just a few hours after Tamaki was born. His mother was furious and she dragged him back to Tokyo by force leaving Trisha with a newborn. Fuzuru never saw Trisha again before the next year when his mother allowed him to see Trisha and an almost one year old Tamaki.

He was standing in the exact spot while his mother stood by the window as usual. She always did look threatening when she stood there.

"Mother," Fuzuru spoke. "I know you do not like that Edward and Alphonse are going to be staying here for now on. But I have custody of the boys now and its my responsibility as a father that I look after them for now on. I haven't seen the boys in fourteen years! And now that I am able to see them again and raise them with Tamaki, I will make sure you won't take them away from me."

"...And this is your room."

Edward enters his new room once Tamaki opens the door. His mouth opens agape and his eyes widen in amazement. Compared to his and Al's room back in Resembool, this was ten times bigger.

After Tamaki showed Alphonse his new room, Tamaki lead Ed to his new room. Edward at first was hesitant about a separate room. He and Al shared rooms for so long that it was normal staying in one room. It would be weird having a room just for him.

"How do you like it?" Tamaki asks him.

Well, it was nice. Ed thought to himself. The bed was twin sized and was neatly done. At the center of the room was a red rug, then on the left side was a writing desk with a lamp. There was an empty book shelf next to the table and just a few feet from the bed was a closet. Ed walks deeper in the room, looking around.

"Yours and Alphonse's rooms are used whenever we have guests." Tamaki explains to him. "The furniture may be a bit tacky but don't worry, dad will get you anything you might need." Ed stands in the center of the room and looks at Tamaki.

"No. Its fine." he tells him, dryly.

Tamaki nods. "Okay, sure."

Ed walks to a huge rectangular window at the back of the room. He looks out and sees a beautiful, vast garden with a fountain in the middle. "Nice garden." He comments.

"Yeah." Tamaki sighs. "We have about ten gardeners that tend the flowers and the trees. They do a fantastic job." he explains to him while he walks with his hands in his pockets. He stands next to Edward.

Ed widens his eyes when Tamaki mentioned the gardeners they had. He raises a eyebrow and looks up at Tamaki. "Why do you need that many? Why couldn't you just have one?" he asks.

"The gardens big so it will be a lot of work for one person to do you know?"

Ed just hums in response.

Tamaki and Ed stare outside in silence. They stayed quiet for a moment before Tamaki clears his throat. "Okay, well, I'll see you at dinner then." Ed does not respond. Tamaki nods a little and walks out of the room, closing the door behind him.

Alone in the room, Ed sets his suitcase on the ground. He walks to bed and flops onto it with a heavy sigh. He rests his left arm over his head and stares at the ceiling.

His mind wandered to the old lady he and Al briefly encountered just a hour ago. For some reason, he has this nagging feeling that he's seen her before. But when? As far as he's concerned, he has never seen or met her before so...why did she look familiar?

Ed groans and he runs his hands through his bangs. This was giving him a headache. He needs something to clear his head and usually a good book helped. Considering how big this house is, there should be some kind of library.

Wanting to see if they had one, Ed gets out of bed and walks out of the room. Deciding that maybe Alphonse would probably want to go as well, Ed walks to the direction where his brothers room is.

Just when he walked out, Ed stops on his tracks. Standing in front of him was the old women, Tamaki's - his - grandmother. She stops walking and looks at Ed. "Um...hello." Ed greets her.

She does not respond.

"Right well, I was just heading to my brothers room. By the way, I was wondering if you guys have a library." he asks her. "I wouldn't be surprised if you guys did. This whole house can fill the people of Resembool." he chuckles lightly and he rubs the back of his neck.

To be honest, he was terrified of this women. She hasn't spoken a word or made a move and just her stare made him feel intimidated. How was this suppose to be the old mans mother?

"Your Edward correct?" she spoke.

Ed was surprised when she spoke but he nods. "Yes ma'am I am." she hums and she takes a few steps towards him.

She stood close to Ed, so close he could hear her breathing. Shizue continues to stare down at Edward before glancing up and walking away.

Ed watches her leave in confusion. 'What was that about?' he thought to himself.

Knock, Knock, Knock.

"Coming!" Al calls ouout before he walks across the room to answer the door. When he answers it, Al smiles. "Hey Ed! I thought I was going to see you at dinner. Whats up?" Ed walks inside and Al closes the door behind him.

"Brother, whats wrong?" Al asks worryingly. Ed turns his head around. "I met the old mans mom."

Al blinks in surprise. "Really?"

Ed nods and looks at the ground. "Yeah. But it wasn't like she called me or anything. We met when I was coming here."

"What was she like?"

"Imitating." he says. "She looked like she was annoyed that I was there." he explains to him.

"You don't think she's angry that we're here right?"

Ed shrugs. "I don't know. But I have a funny feeling things are not going to go out well for us Al."
