(A/N: Hey guys just a few things before we start.

Al-I apologize for the grammatical errors. My computer can not handle very much software. I am trying to save up for a new one, when I buy it I will fix everything. Please be patient. Also, the first chapters of Kai being kinda out of the story was intentional.

Midnight03- Kai's arm was transmuted and her voice was caused by being bit by a large dog. Please ask any other questions you may have :)

Suicide forest- I can't wait to read your reviews. Thanks for reading.

ClashingElements- I'm sorry but I can't answer that. Her heritage will be reviled in the future so please continue to read.

now, onto the story.

Ok, so. After a lot of trouble, like the second pair of Elrics and a mining town. We finally made to Central. I left Ed and Al to find their Colonel while I took a stroll around the familiar town. The streets were lined with people, as per usual. I had no need to steal, so I just passed my time by people watching. You can find out so much by just watching.

Unfortunately, my lovely walk was interrupted by storm clouds. Thunder clashed as the rain started to fall. Great, the one day I have free time is the day I need to find shelter. I mentally complained. Turning around, I started heading to the military where the Elrics had been. Maybe I wouldn't be arrested now that the Fullmetal Alchemist was my partner.

Wishful thinking. The moment I stepped foot past the gate, three blue uniforms stepped up. "Who are you and what is your business here?" Goon one said. "Unauthorized civilians are not permitted to pass this point." Goon two said in a wheezy voice. "Yeah, what they said." Lamely added goon three. I gave them a huff and squatted on the ground, quickly writing what they needed.

My name is Kai. I am partners with the Fullmetal Alchemist. I was hoping to find him and ask about a place to stay, seeing that it's raining and all.

I stood up and wiped my hands on my pants and looked up at the three men. "Um... we... we'll call up the Colonel and see if what you say is true!" Goon two said, trying so hard to be tough. It was several minutes before I was allowed to pass by the guards and make my way through the building.

Getting in was easy compared to how this building was laid out. I may have a great sense of direction on the streets, but inside a structure? Forget it, I will get lost. I asked for directions many times and still had no luck. Finally, the blonde female officer, Hawkeye I believe her name was. Led me to the Elrics who were in the cafeteria. Well, Ed was anyway. He was talking to another officer who looked strangely familiar.

They were very close and whispering as another ,giant man came up and started looking scary. I made the bad decision of waltzing into that little moment and wave at Edward. His face was priceless and the man behind me was absolutely pissed. "Kai? What are you doing here and how did you get in here in the first place?!" The little blondy asked, practically yelling. I motioned with my hand to get him to calm down and a giant hand rested on my shoulder. "And just who are you?" A not-so-deep-as-you-would-expect voice said from behind me. I turned and almost laughed at the fabulous mustache I saw.

Trying to communicate with a person who clearly didn't care was hard. Trying with a pissed person who wanted answers right then and there was near impossible. I waved my hands frantically at Ed and then me back to Ed, pointed at my neck and did a talking motion. Nothing got through this guy! He was like a rock or something, Gees! "I think she's trying to say that she's with Ed. Am I right?" The officer, that I completely forgot about, said with a smile. I nodded, pointed at him and gave a thumbs up. "In that case, stay with him until you leave the premises." The guy turned and left without another word.

Ed looked at me and sighed. "Ok, Kai. What do you need so badly that you had to find me for?" I tapped my chin. I had completely forgotten what I was here for. Lets see... Thunder rolled through my thought bubble and reminded me. I gave an Ah-ha look and pointed up. "Kai, that's the ceiling." Edward deadpanned making me roll my eyes as another roll of thunder came around. "Oh, it's raining." The officer said, gosh I love this guy. "Do you guys have a place to stay? You re-examination is tomorrow anyway. If not, she can stay with me till it's over." He said, we both looked over at Ed. "Alright, Thanks Hughes. I owe you one." And the shorty walked off as well. Did he say Hughes? I think I have this guys wallet...

The Hughes house hold was nice. A beautiful wife and a little three year old girl, who he was very fond of. The wife, whose name was Gracia was making dinner when we walked in. "My darling! We have a guest if you don't mind having her." Hughes said and kissed his wife. "I don't mind." She said in a sing song voice and turned to look at me. "What's your name dear?" Hughes jumped in. "She's a mute, but her name is Kai. Would you mind showing around? Maybe a bath?" Gracia nodded and shewed me away from the kitchen.

I was ushered around the house and ended up in the bathroom. "How about you clean up a bit while I find you some fresh clothes?" Gracia said as she closed the door. The bathroom was nothing special, but it had been awhile since I had a bath. I ran the water and stripped. When I looked into the mirror I noticed I had more scars added to my collection. Most were small but shone against my pale skin, others wrapped around my small frame like thick ropes. I gave a small sigh and slipped into the bath.

Hot water and sore muscles seemed to mix well as the heat slowly eased my tense body. Gracia knocked and mentioned clean clothes outside the door. But I was enjoying the water too much to care. As the water cooled, I simply used my alchemy to heat it back up. After what seemed like hours, I was shriveled up enough to pass as a raisin. Quickly slipping on the fresh clothes, I finally made my way downstairs to eat dinner with the Hughes family

"Elisia, give daddy a smile!" The man said as I sat down at the table. The small girl looked up at her father and gave him a toothy grin. "Did you enjoy your bath?" Gracia asked while serving me a heaping portion of meat pie. I gave a vigorous nod as I started on my food. I heard the woman laugh as she continued to eat as well. Dinner ended with several photos and a sleepy Elisia as I sat on the couch with a book in hand. "Tomorrow is a big day for Edward. He's going against the Colonel for his re-examination. I just hope he doesn't get killed." Hughes sighed as he sat beside me. I nodded and motioned for something to write with.

I would want to go against that mustache guy. He looks like a pushover.

Hughes laughed at me. "He may be a pushover, but he is the Iron-blood Alchemist. One of the strongest. Plus he's a Brigadier General, if you fought him you very well might die." I gave him a shrug.

Someone needs to knock him off his perch.

The man just shook his head and got up. "Tomorrow's a big day. Get some sleep, you can come watch Ed get his butt handed to him." I gave him a nod and covered up with a blanket, easily slipping into the dark of sleep.

Next day, Flame vs Fullmetal

I had a feeling Ed was fighting Colonel Mustang for a reason other than re-examination. But what, I didn't know. The shorty had a knack for leaving me out of things. The fight started with Mustang making fire at Ed and Ed running for his life. Explosions followed at every corner, smoke and dust filled the air. When it was clear, Mustang was pinned by Ed. whoa, and I thought the midget was gonna get his butt handed to him. I thought in surprise.

~Time skip~

Everyone was saying great things about this Dr. Maru person. It would seem that this guy was some sort of miracle worker, or had a philosophers stone. Ed was going from person to person to find out where he was. I was still out of the loop so I just followed behind when Ed pulled Al and I into a hay pile. "what was that for, brother? Now I'm filling up with straw." Al complained as Ed told him to shush. He explained that some officer was following them and stuff while I picked hay out of my white hair.

We found the house the doctor was in and before we could take a step on the porch, two shots were fired at us. A scared looking man was holding the gun. He clearly didn't want anything to do with State Alchemists or the military. Ed and Al convinced him to talk inside while I stayed out of their crap and sat on the porch.

I was minding my own business when the giant mustache guy came along. I hopped up and pounded on the door. Turning back, the giant man was in front of me. He grabbed my arm and tossed me to his henchmen- I mean comrades. "Take her to the car, she's a wanted fugitive." Me? I never did anything illegal!... Ok, not anything that would get me arrested!... You know what, I regret nothing. As the General said, I was tossed into their car and locked in. Oh, if only I could do alchemy without a transmutation circle.

What I did to that poor car was amazing. You know that when water freezes, it expands. So what is water going to do when it's frozen inside to door locks? Instant pop can! The handle blew off so fast it knocked out the guy it hit. Without a second glance, I ran out of the car, down every side street and through a few walls. I ran into some guy with a scar on his face, funny how he reminded me of my dad. Though I didn't stop to ask, or rather write my questions.

I was pretty sure I had gone in a giant circle because when I rounded one last corner I came up to the military guys again. Though this time they were loading up the doctor dude instead of me. Ed was about to chase after them when the car basically exploded. In front of the car, with his arm stretched out, stood the man I ran into earlier. General Mustache walked up to him holding a red stone, similar to the one Cornello had on his ring. He called it a philosophers stone. In one swift motion, the tanned man had the generals head in one of his hands. The next moment, the giant man's head exploded. Blood coming out from his eyes and ears.

"Crystal Alchemist, Dr. Marco. I thought you were dead. I'll have to take special care, to wash out your transgressions." The man said as he started walking up to the kneeling doctor. I was fine with the mustache dying, but the guy who has been saving lives was not going to die on my watch. Before anyone could blink, I clapped my hands and slammed them on the ground. Transforming the sandy ground into a rushing wave. it takes a ton of energy to do that, but I was going to douse that jerk.

I was panting after the wave crashed into the scar faced man, but quickly ran and started dragging the stunned people with me. Ed slowly coming to his senses began to run on his own while Marco was yelling about leaving him. I dashed past Al and turned quickly to follow him. Al sealed to tunnel he was in as I panted and slouched against the wall. I think I pulled too much water from the ground, I can't catch my breath. I wiped my forehead with my right arm just as the wall glowed red and disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

We started running again, only for the scared man to crack the wall and block our path. By this time I was sweating with the effort of staying transmuted a metal pipe and got into a fighting stance, Al followed his move and got into his own stance. I couldn't make out the conversation, my vision was starting to go fuzzy. Something about eyes I think.

Ed lunged at scar man who dodged and readied himself to strike out at Ed. Al intervened, having the red lightning. Ed lunged back at scar and my vision failed. Unable to stay conscious any longer.

When I came too, I was lying down across a seat. That seat happened to be on a train and the passengers across from me were no other than Edward and some random military guy who was covered in pink sparkles. "Kai, glad to see you're up. Guess you used up a lot of energy to make that wave, huh?" Ed said. I noticed one key thing about him, Ed's right arm was gone. He saw me staring and gave a sheepish grin. "Oh, that. Um... Yeah, that scar kinda blew it off. We're heading for Risenbol to see my mechanic." As he was talking, I saw his completion go from healthy to sickly pale in two seconds flat. "I am here to guard the Fullmetal and his brother while they are injured. Major Alex Louis Armstrong, pleasure to meet you." The giant man sparkled. I turned and had a double take. He was mostly bald minus one curly blond lock on his head. The Major also had a fancy mustache that wiggled when he talked.

I had found out that Al was injured as well... or whatever you would call missing armor. Poor kid was stuck in a box and carried by Armstrong. We arrived at the house Ed's mechanic lives at and before the dog could start barking, a wrench flew through the air and landed with perfect aim on Edwards forehead.

As my opinion goes, I like Winry already. She looked over my automail arm and asked to build me a new one. Seeing as mine was in pretty rough shape. Everyone was up to their own things. Ed was reading, Al was in his box, Armstrong was chopping wood, Winry down in the basement. That left me with Pinaco. She was a great lady, one of the only people who seemed to be able to hold a conversation with a mute. "I see, you're parents just left you and your sister. What an awful thing to do. How old were you? Five? How terrible." I nodded and sipped my tea when Ed busted in. "Kai! I forgot to tell you. Marco used the stone on you before he threw it at scars arm! Try and see if it worked."

My eyebrow was raised when Ed told me to try something. Thing is, he didn't tell me what. The blondy had an Ah-ha moment. "Your voice. Marco fixed your voice while you were out. So try and talk already!" I gave him a huff but gave it a shot. "...Ey... Hey... I-I can... Talk" My voice was horse and dry, but it was there. Something that was taken away from a simple dog bite was healed. I got up from my seat and ran to Alphonse in his box. "AL! ICANTALKISN'TAWESOMEIMAGOSAWHITOWINRYNOW." I did that to everyone I came in contact with. No more odd motions or awkward silence. I could finally saw something for myself after so many years.

(A/N: Yes! Another chapter down, who knows how many more to go! Hope you like the idea of having Kai talk cause I have a few things for her to say! Questions comments or concerns leave in the review or PM Thanks guys!
