On My Knees

Disclaimer: AHH! Not another one! pulls hair out WHY ME! Oh well, I do not own FullMetal Alchemist and even if I did I wouldn't tell you… you stupid nosey prat.

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 smirked to herself and pressed her hands together as the creatures leapt then pressed them on the floor, creating a long spear out of the ground. She slammed the sear into one of their chests, pushing it over the edge. Then she swung around, one of them scraping her cheek. She back hand springed to safety. She swung around only to see another one of them flying at her.

"RAE!" Ed ran over as she flinched against the wall. He clapped his hands as he ran and created a sword and dodged in front of the girl, piercing the creature's heart, pushing the sword in with all his might until it reached the hilt. Rae gasped as she saw Edward standing over her. He looked at her. "GET! RUN!" He shouted at her as the roar of the Chimeras grew louder.

Al looked over and suddenly a bit of movement caught his eye. Chris was hiding behind the stone wall. Al gasped as he saw a huge lion chimera come up behind her. "CHRIS! LOOK OUT!" He clapped his hands and created a long steel staff, he slammed the chimera with the pole, almost like a baseball, knocking it back off the ledge and into the chasm below them.

"Tha-thank you again." She whispered. "Again…"

"You're wel- hiyah!" He whacked another Chimera with the staff, knocking it off as well. "Welcome…" He smiled. "Stay behind me and don't run off… we'll get out of here soon."

"YAAH!" Rae kicked one of the chimeras off the ledge, she and Ed were back to back now, surrounded by the chimeras.

"So… you know if we die here… I'd like to know something." Ed sliced through another Chimera.

"Alright shoot." Rae fired her gun at another Chimera, knocking it off the ledge. She quickly loaded another round in.

"This is kind of an odd question… especially for a time like this… who do you fancy?" Ed shouted above the roar. He slashed another Chimera, they were like ants, the more they defeated the more there seemed to be.

"Who… who do I fancy?" Rae asked, pausing for a moment… "Lemme think about it and I'll tell you when we get out of here."

"But… how?" Ed asked her.

"Look!" She pointed above them, there was a long rope above their heads.

"What's that?" Ed swung his sword at another one of the Chimeras.

"It's a rope, a zip line almost… If I can get a boost up there we can zip line out of this cave." She told him and a chimera slashed her face, scratching her cheek. "GRRAAAAAAH!" She slammed her spear into the chimera's head, right through the skull.

"A boost eh?" Ed smirked and clapped his hands then pressed them down on the floor, suddenly the floor around the two of them rose and they reached the line.

"Why didn't you just do that in the first place?"

"Because I like a good fight." Ed told her. Rae wrapped the line around her thigh and waist then held her hand out to Ed.

"C'mon… let's get out of here." She told him and he looked at her.

"Wha-what? You want me to…"

"Colonel don't ask questions just come on." She dragged him over and wrapped one of her legs around his waist and had him wrap his arms around her neck, his face pressed between her breasts.

"When are w-AAAAAAAAAAH!" They slid off, down the rope. She turned, and fired one last shot into the Chimeras, making them even angrier. The bridges had already been cut by Al and Chris. They had escaped but Al had done one thing wrong, he had sealed off the cave. Ed clapped his hands as they ran and slammed them against the wall. The wall opened enough that they could climb out and Ed sealed it back up again.

"COME ON!" Rae dragged him off, it was still pouring. She led him under and arch, they weren't going to make it back to the hotel without fighting.

"Catch your breath, we're going to have to run for it." Ed told her, looking into the village. Suddenly he felt an arm around his neck and he turned back, only to have his lips bombarded by hers. He was shocked, unable to respond, it seemed as though his bodily functions ceased to exist. He closed his eyes and put his hands up on either side of her face as she laced her fingers through his wet hair. Lightning cracked and thunder rumbled. She pulled back, she took his breath away, her long plait over her shoulder, her sweater plastered to her chest, her pants soaked, clinging to her figure like paper maché. The lightning illuminated her face, scratched and bleeding.

"Wha-what was that about?"

"I didn't want to die one of those 'never-been-kissed'…" She told him.

"Well see it doesn't count if you kiss the person… someone has to kiss you… like this." He put his hands on either side of her face and brought her lips to his. She put one hand on the side of his face as he leaned back against the arch. He pulled away, leaving her breathless.

"I-I never thought I would ever say this… but Edward Elric… you are amazing you know that? You hated me when you met me the first time then… then you blush when I talk to you… and now you've just kissed me and you saved my life… what's come over you?"

"I don't know… but we better get out of here…" Ed led her out of the arch.
