A Simple Solider

Chapter Five:

Answers

It didn't take long for me take consciousness again. "Ugh... my head... " My head hurt, splitting in two even. It was dark in the room I was in and felt like the room was spinning in all directions. I turned over on my side onto my stomach so it be easier to crawl around since I felt my hands and feet were tied together. But not at this very moment. I'm too distracted by the headache I have to notice where I was or even what I was doing there in the first place. Trying to remember what happened earlier.

Edward Elric came to my rescue. God, what had happened to me while I was unconscious?

What better way to start off the night than this? I was following that boy and then I was knocked out by that palm tree of a guy. Wow, what memory I have left in me. I do amaze myself sometimes...

Darkness... endless darkness was everywhere. The only thing that was giving some light was a door and a crack at the bottom. Some of the headache subsided and I crawled over to the door, wondering where I was and what that guy did to me. He must have really rattled me up to get a huge headache like this. Looking under the crack as much as I can, it was a white wall from where I was looking. It still doesn't tell me much though.

Crawling away from the door, I thought about taking off my shoes but decided against. It would just make my feet cold. Don't need to more colder than I am now. It was chilly in the room I was in. At least I was wearing long sleeved shirt and the uniform jacket with pants with boots. Yep, I'm just your simple solider.

"A... A... A-choo!" I sneezed loudly in the small chamber. I hope someone comes and rescues me before anything bad happens.

A crash was heard with electrical waves, blue light shinning through the crack in the door. A loud, "Kagome!" was heard as I felt my head become slightly lightheaded from moving round. I struggled with the bondage from my feet to my hands as I tried to struggle out of them.

"In here Ed!" I yelled as much as I could. It sounded raspy but I didn't care, Edward was there to rescue me. He got to be there for me and I know he will be there for me because...

A clap of hands echoed as Edward went thought the door with his alchemy, changing a door to his height as light shined in. I hand to close my eyes and blink a few times to get used to the light. Edward walked towards me with a worried look on his face. "Are you alright Kagome?" He quickly untied the rope around my wrists and feet as he helped me up.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Could be better though." We started to run for it. I noticed we were in Head Quarters still. Deep, underneath the main building. I wonder why I was locked up and not just killed on the spot like the guy said, 'It's time to die'. "Why didn't I die when I was going to?"

Edward always had an answer. "I not quite sure myself. It's a mystery to me why they wanted to kill you in the first place." So much for an answer...

Oh well, when there's a will, there's a way. I'll find an answer, eventually.

"I'm going to Ishbal." Edward said as we gotten closer to my room. I left all my things there. My precious bag of things that are from the future. My diary was among those things and my unmentionables.

Getting the key out from my right pocket, I opened the door to my room and opened it up. All hell broken loose. The room was a mess! My things were everywhere, all of my future things were out for Ed to see.

I gasped loudly and pushed Edward out and slammed the door in his face. My name was called out many times as I cleaned my room up. Everything was a mess. "I'm fine Edward, just going to clean the room up. Guard the door, will ya?" A grumble was my reply with an "Alright." on the other side of the door.

When I found my diary it was ruined, ripped to the core with no mercy. What in hell is going on here? Why would they go to the trouble of ripping up my things? Everything else was in tact except for my diary. Oh well, I can always buy a new one for myself. This time, something with blank pages so I can doodle in it for hours on end.

After everything was cleaned up, I made sure nothing was missing. It didn't look like anything was missing. Pocky, ramen, ruined diary, underwear, bras, extra uniforms, shirts, dresses, skirts, and cell phone. Yep, everything was accounted for.

Damn it, I want answers!

There was a knock at the door. "Can I come in now?"

I opened the door and coughed into my hand. "I'm sorry Ed, about that. My undergarments was everywhere you know... " I blushed as I looked to the ground, embarrassed.

He also coughed into his own hand with a small red blush of his own on his face. "No, I should be the one to apologize. I was about to enter your room of course." He scratched the back of his head nervously. I closed the door behind him as I looked curiously at him.

"Anyway, what did you say before? Were you going to Ishbal? Aren't you going there on your own?" I asked curiously, something told me deep down, something was off. I sat down on the bed, knowing that I might need it.

"Yeah... ", he said softly as he sat down next to me, "I have to go to find Scar and stop him from doing whatever he's doing in Lior. First, I would like to do something first... " He slowly turned towards me and gripped onto my hands not too hard since he had an automail arm. He was blushing deeply, turning into a tomato. "Can I uh... "

I looked at him, wondering what's going on in that head of his. I nodded to him to continue but it didn't seem like he had the courage to do it. I just smiled to him and sighed.

And then it happened...

He kissed me. Deeply matter-of-fact, a chaste kiss. This is going to be my favorite memory ever...
