Author's Note: I AM ON A ROLL! I'm already on chapter 13. So yeah my chapters have been getting shorter and shorter.
Disclaimer: I do not own the FullMetal Alchemist, or the show, or his adorable little brother drools the only thing I own is the story line, Rae Hawkeye and Makie (and the evil peoples)
Summary: Ed and Al have teamed up with a new girl, Mustang's niece, they are sent to investigate the happenings at a mine and get themselves caught in a giant military cover-up from years ago. Does the mine owner's daughter know anything about these strange happenings?
Rae woke up the next morning and her body ached with severe pain, almost as if she had been burnt to a crisp. She slowly dragged herself out of the bed, her skin burned as she moved, stretching over her sore and swollen muscles. She stumbled down the stairs clumsily.
"Good morning young lady." Adam said, he was the man that had opened the door for her the other night. Rae nodded and sat down in a chair carefully. He set before her a platter of fresh fruits. It was filled with cantaloupe, watermelon, mango, guava and some other strange bread-like fruit.
"Thank you sir." Rae thanked him and brushed her hair over her shoulder. She picked up her fork and knife and began to eat, slowly cutting up the fruit and taking bites of it.
"Morning Mr. Elric!" Adam said cheerfully. "We're packed up, if you'd sit with the little lady for us please." Adam nodded to where the young girl was sitting.
"Urg… whatever." The eldest Elric groaned and sat down across from Rae.
"Good morning Edward… If I may call you that." Rae greeted him pleasantly.
"Mornin'." Ed grumbled. He busied himself with the menu. She was wearing a tight white tank top, the straps were falling down her arms. The top was low cut but without the straps the shirt sagged slightly giving Edward a clear view down her shirt. She was also wearing a knee length skirt that was hiked up around her thighs. Her long black hair was down, part of it fell over her right shoulder in long coils. Her face was now deeply tanned instead of burnt and her hands were wrapped up, as were her feet and ankles. Her bangs now lightly rested like bluish blonde wings caressing her forehead and the side of her face. Two small pieces of hair fell over her ears as sideburns. He peeked over the top of the menu, peering down her shirt. Suddenly she looked up and he felt his face burning. He hid his face behind the menu again and then to hide his embarrassment pretended to accidentally knock his fork off the table. He bent down to get it, hiding his face under the table. He looked up before he came out from under the table and realized that he could see straight up her skirt. He tried to get out from under the table as quick as possible but slammed his head on the bottom of the table instead. She gasped and knelt under the table as Edward put his hands on top of his head in pain.
"Damn it!" He let out his usual curse then looked up into the dark blue eyes of Rae. She smiled and rubbed his head.
"Silly… you have to look before you get up." His face flushed again and he could almost swear that she could see his face glow red. She had her arms squeezed together, holding her balance and her breasts were pressed together, enhancing her cleavage even more. He tried to get up again and again slammed his head on the table. "Here, move back…" She instructed and he scooted back and got up, sitting back down in his chair. She appeared again, sitting in the chair across from him.
Alphonse watched with Adam and Lina, "Why's he so nervous… I've never seen him like this." Al noted.
"He thinks she's pretty and doesn't want to embarrass himself… that never works… whenever you try not to you always do." Adam smiled.
"He's always hated girls before." Al pointed out.
"He's at the age where girls are a fascination…" Lina replied.
"I-I'm sorry… I don't even know your name." Edward gulped, his face lobster red.
"My name? It's Rae, Lt. Col. Rachel Mustang." Rae smiled pleasantly, making Ed's face flush further. He suddenly grew angry with himself, what was he doing? Blushing… about a girl? He drew back into himself, taking on his usual look that was rather hard to read.
"Did you say Lieutenant Colonel?" Ed asked.
"Yes sir, Lieutenant Colonel in the DSA." She nodded.
"Ar-are you a State Alchemist?"
"Yeah… the Rouge Alchemist. AKA Angel around these parts… they call me their Guardian Angel." She smiled and again Ed's face flushed, 'Why am I blushing? WHY AM I BLUSHING?' Ed nodded.
"I heard something about a guardian… I didn't know she'd be this pretty though." 'DAMN IT SLIP OF THE TONGUE? WHAT AM I DOING?' He had no idea what to do now that he had said that.
"Oh… thank you sir. But I'm not that great, I mean I'm covered in blisters and sun burn. Trust me… the girls in my department are all much prettier than I." She said. He saw that beneath her sun burn a pink hue appeared in her cheeks.
"No… don't say that…" Ed told her. 'EDWARD ELRIC WHAT ARE YOU DOING? FLIRTING WITH A GIRL! THINK MAN! THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING!' His mind screamed at him.
"Thank you sir… I have to leave now… my train leaves soon." She smiled. "I enjoyed speaking with you though." She bowed slightly as she stood up and ran off.
