CHAPTER 2

The whole way back Ed was quiet. Not a single word left his lips,his mind deep in thought about what just happened as the long walk home streched on. There was no one on the streets,just like before but Ed kept his guard up,not wanting any more unpleasant suprises.

As he finally arrived home he was greeted with a loud clanking sound and a high voice full of worry

"Brother where have you been?!"

It took Ed a few seconds to get his mind out of thought and focused on his little brother "I was out.I told you I was going."

It seemed Al had calmed down but that wouldn't last long "Well yeah but you said you would be back sooner. Where were you?"

Ed passed his brother and sat down on the small sofa with his mind working full time to come up with a belivable excuse "I got . . .delayed" he answered.

Oh yeah that would surely make Al back off . Not.

"Brother what happened? You didn't destroy a building again did you?"

Ed almost choked on the air he was breathing at the words he just heard "No I did not! I'm not that reckless!"

"Thats debatable." Al mumbled

"Al!"

Alphonse chuckled at his brothers short temper "Sorry brother but you are. Come on tell me" he pushed again and Ed sighed "It's nothing Al just let it go" But he wouldn't let it go.

He knew Ed was hiding something and he was going to find out what it was even if it was going to be the last thing he does so he glared at his brother the best way he could and kept quiet.

That sent shivers down Eds spine. It made him so uncomfortable.

As mutch as he didn't want his brother to know he knew that Al wasn't going to give up untill he told him so he sighed and explained.

Al listened quietly and waited till he finished "Brother I think you should tell the Colonel"

As soon as he mouthed the words Ed glared at him,serious as he could be "No way.I'm not telling that jerk anything" Ed didn't want the Colonel involved in his life any more then necessary plus he was sure he would meake some 'scared little kid' jokes.

But Al wasn't going to give up that easy especially not at something like this "Brother he tryed to kill you and he said he would come back"

"I know Al but even if he does I can take him on myself and besides-"

Alphonse had enough "Stop thinking you can do everything youresefl! He could kill you Ed! This is not something to be taken lightly and the fact that he know so mutch about you makes it worse!" he yelled at his brother. He did love his brother but sometimes he was just so stuburn especially at times like this.

Ed stared at him in shock. Did Al just snap at him? But in a way he did deserve it. He looked away,not being able to look at his little brother.

Al looked at him feeling a bit guilty. Maybe he was a bit too harsh "Brother I'm-"

"You're right Al . . ." he mumbled

Al seemed a bit suprised at his responce "What?"

"You're right . . . maybe I do need to tell him . . ."

Could it be? Was Edward Elric actually admitting he was wrong?

"I'll tell him okay? I'll tell him tomorrow" He submitted. But he wasn't going to tell Mustang about this for himself as mutch as for Alphonse. The man was pretty interested in Alphonses body and he may try something. He could take Al cative and make Ed do whatever he wanted or he could experiment on him. If he told Mustang he would have Al under a bit more protection.

"Thank you brother" Al felt relived that his brother finally listened to him and didn't try to get at this alone.

Alphonse knew that as mutch as Ed hated to admit it he couldn't handle everything by himself.

Ed smiled at him and gave a small nod then laid down on the sofa and glanced at the clock. It was pretty late so he decided to go to sleep but his mind started to think of things and a thought came to mind. If that guy knew so mutch about them he must have been watching them or had to get the information from someone else. It was possible that there could be a traitor in the military . . . or maybe the man himself was in it . . .

I have mixed feelings about this chapter. It feels rushed. I dont know.
