k, here's chapter 4...and part 2 hasn't been released to the public yet...jk! she (Kira) hasn't written it...i need to go back so you know who wrote which ones...

Rei and Bella sighed. They had been on the train for hours, and were eager to get off. Rei, who was petting Koneko, looked at Ed, who had fallen asleep with his head on Bella's shoulder. Hmm…at least some of us are getting some rest…she thought. Turning back to Bella, she noticed that the girl had fallen asleep with her head on Ed's. Aww…they look so cute together, she thought just before drifting off.

Much later, Rei felt Koneko stiffen in her lap and hiss.

Without moving, Rei whispered "What is it, little one?" She saw a group of bandits who had taken over the train. The one closest to them was obviously annoyed by Rei's sleeping companions.

"…how can these brats sleep through all of this?" he muttered, glaring at Bella, Ed, and Rei, who he hadn't seen wake up. "Hey!" he poked Ed. "Wake up!" Ed just snored. "Why you…Act more like a hostage, you little runts!"

Ed leapt up, awakening Bella. "Huh?" she said sleepily, rubbing her eyes. Rei thought they looked red for a moment, but dismissed it when it vanished.

"What? You got a problem or something? Huh?" the bandit shoved his gun in Ed's face.

Ed slapped his hands together over the barrel, transmuting it into a musical horn.

"What the hell is this?" the bandit shouted, just before Ed's foot made contact with his face. The passengers all stared, and Bella, Rei, and Al all sighed.

"That was dumb, kid." another bandit aimed his gun at Ed's head. "We were ordered to kill all resisters. I don't want to kill a runt like you, but…"

Al interfered. "Okay, okay. The two of you should just calm down."

"What! You want to fight us…" the bandit trailed off as Ed's knee collided with his face. "…too?"

Ed started raging. "YOU CALL ME A RUNT? A DWARF? A "LITTLE PERSON"?"

Bella screamed. "Ed! If you don't stop, you're gonna kill him!" Ed just kept hitting the bandit.

Rei had noticed that there was a metal pole nearby, conveniently loose. She grabbed it, and whacked Ed on the head.

"What the hell was that for?" Ed glared at her. She just glared back, until Ed came to his senses and realized he was still holding the bandit. "So, um…who are these guys?"

Al, Bella, and Rei sighed. So he was just subconsciously reacting to the word "runt"…
