I also just realized the last chapter was written in third person, while ive been trying to make this story in first person... whoops.

Chapter Eleven

Sibling Rivalries and High School Drop-Outs

I was sitting on Mustang's couch with my face in my hands as Mustang yelled, Dagger and Akina at my side. Suddenly, the sound of feet thundering down the stairs was heard, and Ed and Al walked non-chalantly into the living room.

"Woah...Mustang yelling at Kumori, I havent seen that happen since Kumori landed that big promotion last spring." Ed contemplated, a sucker hanging from his mouth. I snapped my head up to look at him.

"Well, youre too short!" I said with a glare. Just then, my brother went into total psycho-mode, screaming his head off. Al shook his head and walked away, not wanting to hear any more arguments today.

"Yeah, youve got a whole hell of a lot of room to talk Kumori, you're short too!" Ed yelled.

"Of course I'M short, but yet not nearly as short as you, Eddie-Kins." I retorted, unfazed by his comment. Ed's face was now totally red from both anger and embarrassment as chuckles could be heard about the room.

"I TOLD YOU DONT CALL ME THAT IN PUBLIC!"

"We aren't in public, wer'e in Roy's house."

"YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!"

"Whatever..." I sighed. Ed plopped into 'his' chair angrily, lollipop still in his mouth, pouting like a little kid. Dagger stood up and stretched.

"Well, I think I'm gonna head home. Stupid Hiei probably wonders where I've been, Seeya."

"Yeah I'm gonna go too." Akina yawned. "Exams tomorrow."

"Bye!" The two said in unison as the left the house. For some odd reason, the word 'exams' made me feel like something wasn't quite right. Just then, it appeared as my amber eyes would pop out of my head.

"Shit..." I whispered to no one in particular. "The Exam..."

"What, for school?" Mustang asked, being his nosey self.

"No, I dropped out." I said plainly. For a moment, I thought I could hear Al shrieking as Mustang's eyes grew in shock.

"What!? Why the hell did you drop out, I paid good money for you to go to that school!"

"So, I hate it there. Besides, I'm way too busy to attend school. With hockey, the military, dance classes, and the band, I'm pretty much booked for the rest of my life!"

"I don't care, your'e going back to school!"

"Make me!" I screamed. Ed leaned forward in suspense while Al peeked in from the kitchen.

"You live in my house, you go by my rules!"

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah!"

"Well Then I'm moving out! C'mon boys." I barked. Mustang's expression went from mad to extremely pissed. Confused, my brothers followed me as I walked with my nose in the air to the door and opened it.

"Kumori Evonne Elric, Don't you walk out that door!"

"oo, my FULL name...scary!" I said louder than necessary in an overly-sarcastic tone. "I'll be back for our stuff in the morning."

Ed and Al filed out ahead of me and i slammed the door behind me, following them, leaving a very confused, angry Mustang alone in his house.

Well, I was gonna end it here, but for an odd reason, I feel like being nice and ending it LATER! YAY

"Um...Kumori?" Ed said quietly. "Where are we gonna go?" He asked as we treaded down the streetlamp-lit streets.

"Don't worry. I know exactly where were going." I responded, the electric streetlamps buzzing above us. (AN: Yes, they make annoying buzzing sounds that are somewhat pleasing) "But first, We need a car..."

"But the Taxis don't run this late..." Al sighed.

"Which is exactly why were taking Hiei's car."

"What?" Al gasped. I went over to Dagger's House, which wasn't too far from where Mustang lived, and crawled into Hiei's convertable, which was parked in the driveway with the roof down...

moron...

Anyways, I crawled inside and got under the dash, fiddling with random wires of sorts.

"Kumori, we can't take Hiei's car, its stealing!"

"No, its borrowing, Fool."

"What?" Al questioned with narrowed eyes.

"That means stealing, but I'll bring it back later. Lets go." I said, hotwiring the car and getting into the correct position. Shrugging their shoulders, the boys got in and we drove off.

We arrived at the house ten minutes later and filed out of the car. Ed looked at me.

"Kumori, what is this place?" He asked, tugging on my sleeve.

"Our house." I replied, walking up the stairs to the door and pulled out my keys. My brothers watched as I unlocked the door and stepped inside. "Welcome home..."
