Yeah, I've decided to say something this time. What a first! Let's see... I don't think this chapter is as long as the last... sorry 'bout that. Oh, and it may take a little bit for me to get the next chapter up. I have SATs this week... sadly. I also have a paper on Hiromu Arakawa due next week, and I have to read a five hundredpage book. They're just loading my up with stuff... oh, and I have maps to study... what fun. So, yeah... that's all I've got to say. Enjoy the chapter!

Tohru smiled and climbed back into the tent and flopped on her sleeping bag. He was such a nice guy. She frowned for a moment, and thought. "He put up with me a lot today, though."

Ed soon made it to, what was now to be known as "his house." He sighed as he walked in.

"Hey, brother!" said a huge suit of armor. Despite his size, his voice sounded young. The reason being because of what the two had tried doing that night... this was his punishment.

"Hey, Al." Ed said, though he sounded a little tired.

"How was your day?" Al asked as his brother sat down on the couch.

"It was hectic." he said simply.

"That's all?" Al asked. It didn't seem to Al that that was all it could be. Then again, he wished to be normal, so he, more than likely, wouldn't mind being with all of those people. Ed on the other hand... had somewhat of a temper, and he knew how inpatient he was. Kinda not too good for school.

Ed looked up at Al, "Yeah, pretty much." he said. What, was he expecting more from him? Please don't tell me he's been talking to Mustang, he thought to himself. "Well... I did meet some people..." he said.

"Really?" Al said. "Were they nice?" he asked.

"Yeah, for the most part." The part the wasn't had to be Uo with her short comments. "I ended up having to take one of them home." he said to Al.

"Oh, did that person have a nice home?" he asked.

"Well... she lived in a tent in the woods." Ed told him.

"What?!" This shocked Al. He and Ed had "camped" in the woods, but he couldn't really imagine someone living in them, much less a girl, "That can't be very safe." Al said to him.

"Yeah, but she won't go live with her friends." Ed said to him.

Meanwhile, Tohru lyed her head on her pillow, exhausted from the day's happenings. Slowly she drifted off to sleep. An hour later, she awoke to a huge crack of thunder. She sat up quickly remembering that she needed to put the tarp on the tent. As she placed the tarp on, the rain began full force, the sky as dark as night. The clouds were beginning to rotate. Tohru Gasped as she grasped what was happening. A tornado! She grew dizzy from standing, and felt faint. "Edward..."she whispered as she fell.

"Ed, look outside!" Al said as he pointed out the window. It looked as though a tornado was forming. As Ed looked at it more, it seemed to him to be near where Tohru lived.

"Al, we need to go!" Ed said quickly to him as he began to run out the door.

"Brother, what? Wait, where are you going?" Al asked as he followed him.

"That's near where Tohru is!" Ed said as he ran down to the woods, rain pouring down on him.

The two ran quickly to where the tent was, to find Tohru lying on the ground.

"Al, pick her up and let's take her back, quick!" Ed said.

Al gently picked her up as Ed had told him. The two then went back to the house. When they were there, they lied Tohru on the couch.

Warm... It's toasty warm. She felt comfortable for once. It felt like home. She squinted her eyes a little, finally realizing she couldn't be in the woods. She heard voices in the other room. A younger one that's voice seemed to echo like he was in a trash can, and a voice she recognized. Edward! Suddenly she remembered what had happened-the tornado, and she had fainted-The tent! She panicked and got up, tripping on her uncoordinated feet. She squealed from fright as she fell.

"Stay in here." Ed whispered to Al as he walked into the living room.

Al nodded as he watched his brother leave the room.

"Are you alright?" Ed asked Tohru as he walked over to her, helping her up.

"M-my tent! How did I get here?" she asked panicking. "I didn't come here in my sleep, did I?"

Ed shook his head, "No, my brother and I brought you her." he told her.

Tohru blinked, taking a moment to comprehend what just happened. "Your brother?" she asked.

"Yeah..." Ed said to her. Crap... what do I do... he asked himself. He didn't think it would be the best idea if she saw him... but, then again, it was Tohru. She might not care if Al was in a suit of armor. It's not like Ed was going to tell her that that's all he was, armor and a soul.

"Can I meet him?" she pressed, smiling a small smile.

"Uh... I guess... but, you have to promise that you won't freak out or anything." he said to her. He knew he had to sound crazy saying that.

"Huh?" she tilted her head, confused. "O-ok, I won't."

"Alright," Ed sighed as he went to get Al. "You can come out, Al." Ed said to him as Ed walked back to Tohru.

Al slowly walked in, a little scared of what she would say, but hoping that she would still accept him for who he was.

Tohru stared at Al for a moment, and then had a reaction that neither of the brothers had expected. "Wow!" she ran up to Al, touching the armor. "It's really pretty!" so that's why he sounded like a trash can-a shiny trash can!

Ed kinda just stood there... and watched her. Well, at least she didn't freak out... like I thought she would, he thought to himself.

"Uh... thank you..." Al said. He really didn't know what to say to that.

"So you like armor?" Tohru asked Al, "Sorry for the way I just reacted, its just that my mom used to take me to a medieval museum with tons of armor. I was kind of reliving the past." She backed up to get a better look at him. "So you thought this would scare me?" She asked Ed.

"Not exactly scare you..." he said to her. He was just afraid that is would rise up questions.

Al was relieved that she didn't ask any questions about him.

Suddenly Tohru panicked. "My tent! Tornado! I can't lose my home! Not again!" She began to run to the door. She got to the door and was stepping out, feeling the violent wind press against her face, being forced back indoors.

"Maybe you should wait till after the storm." Ed said as he walked over to her. He knew it sounded bad to say that, she did have all her stuff out there, but it was dangerous to be out there.

"B-but!" Tears gathered in her eyes. "Mom! Not again!"

"No... you don't have to cry..." Ed said to her. What could he do?

"Maybe I can go and get her stuff." Al suggested.

Tohru automatically sat up to look at Al-"No, it's a tornado! I can't have you run off to get my stuff in this weather, I'd feel so guilty! No, I need to save Mom myself, and be mature!"

"But it would make me feel bad seeing you go out like that." Al said to her.

"I have to take responsibility!" With that, she ran outside, a tree just barely missed hitting her. Running down the path, she murmured, "Please be ok, mom! Please be ok!"

Ed quickly chased after her. He knew it wasn't the best idea for Tohru to be out like this.

Al was a little stunned as he saw the two quickly dash out the door. He then thought it would be best to go along, for he had a bad feeling that something bad could happen. Though, he stayed.

The tree branches slapped against Tohru's cheek as she ran through the deep, dark forest. Finally, she reached the tent and dashed inside, as it was just barely holding onto the ground. She then looked frantically around for all the important things. She grabbed her mom's picture, some clothes and her homework. Suddenly, she felt the tent let go, and she was wrapped up like in a cocoon. She couldn't escape, and she felt sufficated. She felt herself being directed, rolling on the ground by the wind-she couldn't escape!

Ed clapped his hands quickly as he made it to where Tohru was, opening the tent, so that she free. He ran over to her and knelt down to see if she was alright.

Tohru groaned with her eyes only slightly opened, not with it. Tears escaped, although she wasn't sure why. She just knew that she was crying, wet and muddy, clinging to someone. She felt safe, like she did with Kyo, when she had snuggled up to him a few nights before he had begun to act weird and then told her how he really felt about her.

It was raining very hard, and Tohru was running around trying to find her way back to the Sohma house after work. It was hard to find when you couldn't see. She ran and ran, and then bumped right into a tree. She just lyed there out of exhaustion for hours. She felt very hopeless. When would this end? Suddenly, a tall figure reached down and she felt herself being lifted onto his back. "Kyo?" She murmured, "Yeah, I'm here-I'm gonna take you home now." Tohru shook her head-"How can you be carrying me? You'd transform!" Kyo gave a small laugh. "It's ok, I have a sheet between us. I won't transform." Tohru smiled gently."Thank you, Kyo. I love you." "Huh?" He couldn't hear her because of the rain. "Nothing."

Tohru snuggled deeper, remembering this memory, thinking that she was there. Suddenly she remembered the truth. There was a sudden twitch of pain in her leg. She screamed out loud, and came back to reality. Her leg was covered in blood.

Ed saw Tohru's leg then looked back at her, "We should go back." he said to her softly.

Tohru's eyes were huge with fear as she nodded.

"Do you need my to carry you?" he asked her. He knew it would probably hurt her if she walked on her leg.

She nodded as she began to feel the pain intensely.

Ed picked her up in his arms as he walked back to his house. When Ed got back, he lied her down gently on the couch. Al came back with some bandages and slowly wrapped her leg up neatly.

Tohru sat covering her eyes up with her hands. She was crying huge sobs that got caught in her throat. "I'm so sorry! All I ever do is cause problems-I should really think before I act! Now I got hurt, causing you two to help me. You can leave me at the tent if you want, get me out of your hands."

"Look," Ed said to her, "I don't want you to say that about yourself." he said as Al finished wrapping up her leg, "And no matter what you say, I'm not leaving you at that tent." he told her. Al then left to another room.

Tohru smiled a small smile and then covered her face once more. She was thinking. How could someone like Edward open up to her in just one day? Tohru laughed, uncovering her face. "You know, it feels like I know you really well. I think its because all of this happened in one day." Tohru looked at a clock nearby- "Wow, it's already 1 a.m!"

Ed smiled, "Maybe so." he said to her. Wow, one a.m., he thought to himself. "You should probably get some sleep." he said to her, "If you want, I can get you some extra blankets and you can sleep here on the couch. I doubt you really want to move much with your leg like that."

"Sounds good," Tohru stifled a yawn."If I ever cause you trouble, just let me know and I'll find a new place to pitch a tent."

Ed smiled, "I told you I'm not letting you live in a tent like that." he said to her. He then went to another room and came back with a few blankets, "Here you go." he said to her. "If you need anything else, just yell for me." he said to her as he turned to leave to his room.

Umm, Edward?" Tohru said quietly, "Thank you. For everything. You have to be the nicest person I've ever met."

Hope you enjoyed this chapter! I'll be updating... sometime... as soon as I can. Thanks for reading this chapter!
