James
Izumi smiled as she watches Keiko play with Anna and Jill. It had been a week since that night. Ed came by the next day when she left the hospital to tell her about Keiko family. The military could only find a sister of the father. When they asked her taking Keiko she wouldn't do it. She was still afraid of her younger brother and wouldn't do any thing to make him come after her. It was sad but they just couldn't find anymore family to take her. Izumi remember Ed asked if she and Sig wanted to adopt Keiko.
"Sensei, we can't find anymore family and I know how you want a child of your own…Do you want to adopt Keiko?" Ed said as he sat in the kitchen with Al, Izumi, Keiko, and Sig. Izumi held Sig hands as she couldn't believe on what they just heard. Keiko sat in between them. "Yes Ed we're loved to adopt Keiko."
Her thoughts were cut short by Keiko pulling on her pants leg. "Izumi it time to come in, Sig said dinner is ready." Izumi look down at Keiko. "Ok little one." She and Keiko walked into the house as the other children left to go home too.
The dinner was good as always and it wasn't long before it was time to ready for bed. As Izumi and Sig got the beds ready Keiko play just outside the house. They were about to get Keiko as they finish making the beds when all the sudden Keiko scream out in pain. "Keiko!" She and Sig ran outside. What Izumi saw made her stop in fear. A man with a scar on above his left eye brow had grab Keiko automail, nearly ripping it out. "Hello, my name is James but you can call me Ripper. I've come to take what belong to me." Keiko wimpier as he jerked her by the arm. "Like hell you are!" Izumi yelled, as she ran toward him. James pulls out a gun from his back pocket aiming it at Keiko head. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to keep her away from anyone but me." Sig ran next to Izumi as she stops. "Mommy…Mommy." Keiko said softy, she was in great pain and was barely holding on to conscious. "Keiko holds on little one…Just please hold on." Izumi reach out crying. Sig was in rage as James laugh and then looked at Izumi. "Lady I know you're an alchemist so I want you to make a cage around you guys. I'll leave while you close your eyes and count to a hundred. Don't try to be a hero because I'm keeping the gun on my child." Izumi couldn't do anything but follow orders as she mad a cage and close her eyes. Sig did the same and start to count with Izumi. James turns around and started to leave, jerking Keiko automail. Keiko cries out in pain one more time and fell into unconscious but not before screaming out mommy. It was then Izumi couldn't hold back the tears. "Keiko…Keiko…Keiko!" She scream with all her might.
After counting Izumi and Sig open their eyes to find that they were alone now. Izumi got rid of the cage. It was then she started to feel pain before coughing up blood. "Izumi!" Sig cry out, grabing Izumi before she could fall. Izumi push away Sig. "I need to help Keiko, that moster has my baby!" She ran a couple of feet before falling down to her knees. Sig pick up Izumi look at her. "If you going then I'm going.You got to save your energy, So I'll carry you." "Let go Sig, we got a baby to save and someone to beat the crap out of. She and Sig left, praying they could find them in time.
