"So, may I ask who you two are?" Ed asked staring at the two half demons who sat across from him, his golden eyes fixed intently upon them letting nothing pass his notice, the golden dog ears he had recently acquired twitched slightly atop his head from the random sounds around the rockbell house. Winry had moved back to tinker with metal object to avoid the earlier embarrassment of the day, Ed's smooth golden dog tail curled and uncurled behind him unconsciously as he waited for a reply.

The two men looked to one another, yellow eyes locked with violet for a moment before they turned back to the said dog eared alchemist.

"Shiro Takunei" The silver haired one replied, His eyes were a bright yellow color with four silver spots around the slitted pupil, his hair was long and reached his waist curling inward slightly at the bottom it also held golden highlights while the ends were a dark brown, two dog ears perched atop his head twitched gently both were silver with brown tips. His tail, the same color of his hair, also curled and uncurled slowly beneath him

"Siga Takunei" the other male responded, he looked to be about 21. His eyes were a sparkling violet but they hid any emotion in them well, one purple stripe resided one each cheek of his face while a small blue diamond mark rested on his forehead, like the other two dog ears twitched gently atop his head surrounded by his pitch black hair that also reached his waist.

Ed blinked slowly as he watched them, the two tail feline curled up in his lap purring softly. The cat was also a pitch black while light blue stripes ran down his body; if his eyes were open they would also be a shining light blue.

"Alright Shiro and Siga….Would you mind explaining what you are?" he asked while absently stroking the two tail's head gently, his golden ears flicked back slightly and his tail held still as he waited for their response.

Both sighed gently and knew this would be hard to explain to the stubborn one in front of them.

"Well I am a half demon…while Siga is a full demon." Shiro replied staring at Edward firmly showing he was not lying

Ed blinked in slight surprise "Half Demon? Full Demon?" He said softly

Siga nodded "Yes we are demons."

Shiro nodded to back up the others statement

Ed only sighed and picked up the feline in his lap by the scruff "And this would be a Demon too?" he asked earning a nod.

They nodded "We are also brothers…well…half brothers." Siga stated.

Ed seemed a bit surprised by this "But you look nothing alike."

Shiro nodded "Having only one parent to relate you would do that." He replied with a bit of a smirk.

Ed gave him a bit of a glare and sighed running a gloved hand through his blonde hair and brushing his ear making it twitch slightly.

Shiro and Siga looked at one another and closed their eyes a moment "You are half demon now also." One of them said making Ed snap his attention back to them.

"And what made me into this?" He asked softly looking at them intently with slight curiosity lacing itself into his voice, despite his efforts to look uninterested he was very curious about what forces he was now involved with and how, if possible, he could be changed back

"Something we call The Crimson Fang." Siga responded with narrowed eyes, Shiro nodded gravely after his brother's statement.

"The Crimson Fang?" Ed said curiously tilting his head slightly in confusion.

The brothers sighed and scratched their heads knowing they would have to spill now, Misaga, the two tail, had long ago left to play with Alphonse.

"We better start from the beginning." Shiro murmured and Siga cleared his throat and began to speak.

"You see The Crimson Fang is a blood red jewel with an etching of a fang in it, our race of demons has been guarding this jewel since it was created. We were the next in line to guard it my brother and I, unfortunately a few fox demons made off with it toward the desert so we followed them for days, now this jewel has the ability to unlock the inner being of a person or a blood line long died out of them. You seem to have had contact with it and it must have awakened a blood line that faded to almost non existence in your family." He paused letting Ed gather this information into his brain

"So when I touched it…?" he said slowly.

"It awakened your inner demon, yes." Shiro replied "If we can find it again then it should suppress the demon and turn you to normal." He said softly as he folded his hands on the table.

"Now what you should know is while you're like this you also get a few more things other then those ears and that tail." Siga said with a slight smile.

"Like what?" Ed asked curiously

"Well for one you may have a growth spurt" Shiro said smirking earning his a whack in the head by an angry alchemist "SHUT UP!" Edward snapped fuming and glaring angrily while Shiro nursed his head.

"Moving on…" Siga muttered "Your strength will increase and you will also be able to jump higher and run faster then you were able to before, you now have fangs and claws like us and those can be used in a fight if you need them. Your tail for one gives you a better sense of balance." Edward looked down at the golden dog tail that swished back and forth slowly and for once was glad it was there.

"Your eyesight and sense of smell become more sensitive so be careful when you take a sniff…too strong a smell may knock you out." Siga warned making Ed flinch at the idea of passing out due to smell.

"Now should we head off?" Shiro asked standing up earning him nods, Soon they found Al and said their goodbyes before soon they were on the road yet again only now with the two Demons leading them.

Al looked up slowly "Hey…Siga? Shiro?" "Hm?" both said not looking back as they kept walking "What happened to your parents?" The two demons were silent a moment Shiro was the first to speak "A good question…My father was killed off by humans and demons while my mother….she fled with me and soon began to beat me to take away her own pain." His hair billowed behind him revealing a scar on his neck that looked like a knife wound.

"She saw father in me and of course hated me for it but of course always asked me why I couldn't be more like father and shit like that, I had to live with her until brother came and took me away." With that he grew silent; Siga only said a few things "My mother died giving birth to me so I don't have much to tell you." He replied.

"S-sorry." Al said looking down and away from them, "Hey it's ok…don't beat yourself up for our problems." Shiro looked back and smiled widely at them surprising both of them. "Y-yeah." Al said in a lighter voice and they kept walking, only Ed noticed the small tear slide down Shiro's cheek as he turned away to continue walking as a song played softly among the wind

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I've becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I've becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I've becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Is everything what you want me to be
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Is everything what you want me to be
