I woke forgetting what happened, all I knew was that I had been badly hurt but in what way? I opened my eyes to see Sakura staring down at me with a very worried look on her face. "...Sakura..What happened...?" I asked, I tried to use my left hand to rub my eyes but that was when I remembered exactly what happened. "Shinji cut off your arm...But now you're okay! I bandaged you up and you aren't bleeding as much" I sat up and looked at her, and then I looked around. "I'm kinda shocked that you even woke up, you lost a ton of blood." Sakura continued. I was confused, not everything had come back to me yet. Ed, where is Ed? Oh that's right, the Colonel- I mean SHINJI. Tricked him and Al to leave town I thought angrily "..You alright?" Sakura asked. I looked to her and said "Yeah, I'm fine just trying to remember everything...Hey where did the rest of the guys go?" Sakura smiled and looked down "Don't worry about them...They're gone now..." I was pretty sure why she was smiling.

Pft. She probably scared those wimps off I thought. "Wait, but what about Shinji? Is he still alive? Did her go to join his comrade where Ed and Al are?!" Sakura's expression completely changed "...Well, once I saw you hit the ground..I-I thought you were dead. I sort of lost control and..." I knew what she was getting at. I shifted to try and see where Shinji was then Sakura grabbed my shoulder. "No..Please don't look...You don't want to see what I've done.." She began to cry. She killed him, but she didn't mean to. "Its alright, you didn't mean it" I said to her. "Am I a bad person?" She said incoherently but I still understood her. "No you're not a bad person." She looked at me thru tear filled eyes, and then hugged me sobbing on my shoulder. She scared off all of Shinji's men by what she did to their leader, I couldn't think of anything else to say. All I knew is that I wanted to find Ed and Al, and I wanted to find them now. Sakura stood up and grabbed two things that were laying on the steps into the house. One was my jacket, which was now mended, and my spear. "You'll need these" Sakura said helping me put on my jacket. She was thinking exactly what I was "Okay, but that train is probably hours away. How are we gonna catch up to it?" Sakura helped me stand up, then she said "I have a plan that's just crazy enough to work.

Her plan was crazy, literally! Her sister, Matilda, was 17 and an insane race car driver. At least she hopes to be one day, in the meantime she was going to drive and 90 miles an hour to get us caught up with the train. "I'm sure glad you guys asked me for help! this car goes super fast and I'm an excellent driver too" Matilda said speeding around cars. "You do know where we're going, right?" I asked considering we passed the train station. "Pft. Do I know where we're going...Of coarse I do! I'm just taking a certain short cut to the tracks." Matilda said with confidence. She turned the car abruptly into some shrubbery that looked like it had been run over before. "Here we go!!!" Matilda yelled. With a loud thump we were on the train tracks picking up speed.

"Sakura, if we don't make it to that train. I am going to kill you" I said to Sakura, bracing myself with my hand on the ceiling and my foot on the dash-board. "But if we do, you'll spare my life right?" Sakura said to me with a nervous grin on her face. I smirked and said "Yeah, I guess." There was a moment of silence quickly broken by Matilda "So, what happened to yer arm?" I looked to the left side of my body and said "..It's a long story" which was code for 'I don't want to tell you' but Matilda obviously didn't get that code. "Well, I'm sure we have time" She said. Reluctantly I told her about Shinji and everything else about what had happened. Once I finished there was another awkward silence. "So...You like this Ed guy a lot, I take it" Matilda finally said. I began to blush "No! I mean...I-I don't know" The answer was yes, but I couldn't admit it not even to myself. Sakura then tapped me on the shoulder I pointed over to the right. "Look.." It was a train, but I wasn't sure if it was the one we were looking for.

Then I heard a few gunshots followed by a scream from a man who flew out of the window. Yeah, that's it I thought. "Alright, you think you guys can climb onto that thing?" Matilda said. I got up and squatted in the window of the car. I stayed there for a moment, then said "Could you get a bit closer?" Without a word the car drew closer to the train. I managed to grab and climb up to the top of the train, Sakura followed shortly after. Matilda yelled "Good luck to ya guys! And Sakura BE CAREFULL!!" she drove off without another word. I stood up strait and said "Alright, let's do this" We began to run down towards the front.

Meanwhile inside one of the train cars, "So, do you give up?" a woman said. "No way. I'm not gonna be killed by the likes of you!" Ed jumped up and ran towards the woman nearly hitting her with his hand blade. She hit him across the head with her gun and then kicked him in the stomach hard enough to knock him backwards. "BROTHER!!" Al yelled, Ed looked up to see the woman pointing a gun at him ready to fire. Ed continued to look fierce and not back down no matter how scared he was. "Hmph. You're obviously a stubborn brat aren't you? Well not to worry, soon my comrade Shinji will come and-" She was cut off but thumping up above. She shot the gun at the ceiling and the thumping moved franticly about across the entire roof. The thumping stopped and the woman stopped shooting, "What if that was your beloved Shinji, you could have killed him y'know" Ed said. The woman looked at him and back at the ceiling.

Meanwhile outside the very same car, I hung on to the side of the train panting heavily. "Huff. Hokay...That...Was to close" Back inside the car the woman aimed her gun at Ed once more "Oh don't worry, the footsteps were to light. That was probably a 13 or 14 year old whom I assure you is dead now" Ed glared at her, she pulled back the hammer on her gun. "But don't worry, Shinji will be joining us shortly" the woman grinned, Ed grimaced. "Ahem. May I correct you that Shinji won't be joining you" The woman turned around and Ed looked over to try and see who it was. "...Because Shinji has left the building...for good" Sakura said. The woman was outraged "Y-YOU KILLED HIM?!" Ed and Al, totally shocked to even see us, then said "Raven? Sakura?" I shrugged and with a nervous grin I said "Heh heh. Sorry we're late." I looked to the woman and said "So you must be Anora...? Shinji talked about you a little right before HE CUT MY ARM OFF!"

Anora looked amused "And you expect to save your little friends without a left arm? Bwahaha!" I got really pissed, "You think its funny, huh? WELL IS THIS FUNNY?!" I charged forward and managed to stab Anora right in the shoulder. I didn't mean to but I didn't regret it either. Anora stumbled a bit holding her bloody shoulder, "Why you little bitch!" She lifted her gun and shot randomly at me, I got behind something before any of the bullets hit me. When she stopped shooting I came back out, Sakura managed to get past Anora to Roy who was soaking wet and bleeding. Right then one of Anora's men swung their sword which snagged on the left sleeve of my jacket ripping it to reveal a bloody bandage. I dodged his next attack and stabbed him right in the stomach. He fell to the ground and that's when I realized that I had killed him, whoever it was I felt really bad.

Oh yeah, way to go. No more sharp objects for you, I heard Anora pull the gun hammer back "Now its time for you to leave the building...For good" I didn't dare to turn around for I knew this was it. "Leave...Her...ALONE!" Ed yelled. He leg swept Anora, causing her to shoot the gun into the ceiling. Then I turned around to see Anora getting up again. "Not so fast" Roy said, He looked wet still but his gloves were dry. Next to him was Sakura who was ready to snap her fingers at any time. Ed ran over to me "Are you alright?" he asked, looking worried "Yeah I'm fine.." I said to him softly. He looked a my left arm, at least where my left arm was. Anora's gun clicked again, we looked over at her and before we knew it she fired. I couldn't think of anything else to do so I went down to the floor while Ed jumped to the far right. Al then walked right in front of Anora and said "If you hurt, or try to hurt my brother or my friends again. Then you'll have to answer to me" I could tell by the tone of his voice that Al wasn't to happy right now That's an understatement, he's angry. REEEAAAALLLY angry. After that Anora looked pretty scared and she turned herself in. Man, Al really got to her but he can be pretty scary when he wants to be.

The soldiers took Anora and her men to the train car in the back, with my one hand on my hip I said "Well, at least that's over with...Whoa!" Just then Ed grabbed me and hugged me. He held me so tight I thought that he would never let go, "...I'm so sorry that all of this happened." He said. He then gently put his hand on my head, I began to hug him back and said "It's alright, you didn't know and neither did I. There wasn't anything we could really do" My eyes began to fill with tears but my voice remained steady. "No I should have-" Ed began, I cut him off "Ed its okay! Shinji and Anora somehow knew how loyal you are and used that against you, and that isn't a weakness either Ed. We all are okay now, some of us are not all together and a bit beat up but we're alive. Aren't we?" I could almost feel Ed begin to smile, Al and Sakura too.

"She's right, we're at least alive" Al said. Roy smiled "So Fullmetal, what do you plan on doing now?" Ed let go of me and stepped away, looking at Roy wondering what he meant. "Sigh. The girl is missing an arm." Ed looked at me and blushed "Oh! Ah, well we could go to Resembool. It's a little off coarse of this train but we could pull it off" Roy looked at Ed for a minute frowning, Ed smiled at him nervously. Roy looked at me then Ed again and went from frowning to a look of kindness yet at the same time endless amusement. "I see you're become a bit distracted, Hm?" Ed got a little defensive, but he stayed under the radar "N-No sir, not at all" He said.

"Well, if this is too difficult of a job for you I can always assign someone else to do the job" I was about to blurt out 'NO!' but to save myself the embarrassment I stayed quiet. Ed remained quiet, I really think that he didn't like the idea of leaving "..No sir, the job is not too difficult. But is this your way of saying it's no longer required for me to be Raven's body guard?" Roy looked serious for a moment but when he smirked I knew he was messing with Ed again. "Sigh. Well I guess I'll let you two young lovers to stay with each other a bit longer." Roy said with a smug look on his face. Both Ed and I were blushing "We're not lovers!" We both said at the same time. We looked at each other and then looked away quickly blushing even more now.

"Yehah. Sure." Sakura laughed. Al began to laugh as well "No you guys don't like each other one little bit". I smiled at all the poking fun, but typically Ed remained serious. I poked his side but he didn't move, then I tried to find a ticklish spot by poking him over and over again. He started blocking then he finally said "W-What the hell are you doing?" I was laughing pretty hard before so my face was even redder. "Because! You are the only one who is not smiling or laughing" I dove my hand towards his side again but he blocked it and pointed at me "Hey, I mean it cut it out" I began to feel a bit embarrassed by the fact that the Colonel of all people was watching this, but I didn't back down. "What are you ticklish Hmm?" He looked at me like I was crazy and said "No! So don't even think about trying to tickle me!"

Roy shook his head as he watched us sort of fighting about why Ed was so defensive when I asked him if he was ticklish. As it turned out the train did eventually stop at Resembool, so the only stop that was made was to get everyone who had been with Anora or victimized by her. After a few hours, Sakura fell asleep with her head (Or half of her body) in Al's lap. Al was a sleep as well, it was actually kind of cute. Ed and I were sitting next to each other, Ed was closest to the window. We were extremely bored, I fell back into the train seat and said "Y'know, I think I know how you feel with the whole boredom thing" He didn't turn to face me "Y' wanna go break something..." Still staring at the ceiling I said "Yeah.."

Ed stood up and said "...Okay, let's go." I grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back into his seat with a thump, "NO! I didn't mean it like that!" Ed looked at me confused now "But I thought you wanted to break something...?" I sighed heavily, "No, I feel like breaking something. I didn't mean I wanted to go and actually break something" Ed looked at me for a moment then turned back to the window saying "...Oh.." in a depressed way. We sat in silence for a while, and then Ed suddenly started chanting "Bored, bored bored bored. Bored, BORED! Bored bored bored bored" This began to annoy me, "Shut up, Ed.." I biped him in the head lightly but I may have hit him to hard. Ed's head flew forward and hit the window with a very loud thump.

"Oh jeeze I am so sorry" I tried to hold back a burst of laughter. He turned around quickly with a very shocked and scared look on his face. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TRYING TO KILL ME!!!" I couldn't help it, I had to laugh. I laughed so hard I was crying, Roy who was in the seat right behind us stood up and looked at us. He saw me dying of laughter, and Ed shaking his head occasionally giggling. Roy raised an eye brow "What's so funny?" Ed looked up and said "It was not funny, Raven hit my head into the window" I sat up and said "I did not hit you that hard, the only reason it made such a loud thump is because your head is so hard" "Yeah but you caught me off guard!" He yelled back.

I scoffed "You are always supposed to be on guard you idiot!" Ed was really annoyed now "HEY WHO ARE YOU CALLING A-" I slapped my hand onto his mouth. "You are yelling way to loud, Sakura, Al, and other people are trying to sleep" I whispered loudly to him. He pulled my hand off of his face and turned again to stare out the window. Roy sat back down and there was silence once again. I began to get sleepy, it was almost 1 AM Jeeze we must me far away from Resembool As if Ed had read my mind he said "We're pretty close to Resembool now. Man, Winry's gonna kill me because of this" I knew what he meant, Winry was probably gonna whack Ed upside the head because we came so late and didn't call to tell them we were coming late.

I tried not to but soon I fell asleep, when I woke up I was laying on something very warm. Well I wasn't laying on it so much as I was leaning on it, when I opened my eyes I saw it was still night and the train began to slow down. When I turned my head I saw a little bit of blonde hair and realized I was on Ed. I got off of him quickly saying "I'm so sorry" he only shifted a little bit, that's when I realized that the boy was peacefully sleeping. I moved a little closer to him in order to see his face, which I succeeded to do. Once I saw his face I couldn't take my eyes off of him, he was a very obnoxious yet outgoing young man I always thought. But as I watched him sleep I saw a side of him that nobody would believe existed, as I watched him he looked like an angel. 'Ed an angel? Yeah right' Most people who know him might say, but I may be one of the few people who think that there is such a side to him and that I was lucky to have gotten to see it. Ed shifted again but this time he opened his eyes, I was kneeling on the floor in front of him staring sort of up at him. At first I thought he would yell something at me the moment he saw me like that but he didn't, he was staring into my eyes. He still looked like an angel even now as he was awake, his eyes were even capturing the light from the moon outside.

Holy crap, I must be dreaming.. I thought. He suddenly looked like he realized something then he said "Why the hell are you watching me sleep...?" He looked very annoyed, the angelic side was gone he was back to the normal Ed. I blushed then stood up, "Ah, well I-I like watching people sleep!" Ed raised an eye brow Ooohhh..Stupid...Stupid In my head I was smacking myself around for that and at the same time trying to figure out what to say. "Yeah! Um..." I couldn't think of a way to say this right. "Jeez are people that interesting when they sleep?" Ed said stretching. I smiled "You could be surprised" I sat down next to him knowing exactly what to say now. "Have you ever seen someone sleeping?" Not looking at me with his arms folded, Ed said "Yeah," I began to notice that people were getting on the train.

I grabbed Ed pulling him up saying "I'll tell ya later, Sakura! Al! Wake up!" Ed knocked on Al's armor and said "Hey, wake up!" I shook Sakura a few times but she didn't wake. "Sigh. She not gonna budge" I picked her up then carried her over to where the Colonel was and to my surprise the idiot was asleep. "ROY!" Roy woke up in an instant "Wha? What? Is there something wrong?" He stood up, Ed came around with Al following him. "Aside from the fact we have to get off the train NOW no everything's fine." We all hurried off the train before it departed, and for the first time I was in Resembool. Now I was really just hoping that nothing bad would happen while we were here.
