Disclaimer: I do not own any of this.

Ch 8

Ed's POV

"Come on we are going to be late!" The annoying blond rabbit yelled from down stairs.

I was trying to hurry up, but I couldn't find my right hand glove. I swore it was on my hand when I went to bed but when I woke up it was gone.

"Ed! Get your butt down here so Momiji will stop yelling!" Kyo screamed.

"I'm coming!" I just can't find my- Ah! My glove was under my shoe. I put it on and ran down stairs.

In the living room was Shigure, Hatori, Kyo, Yuki, Momiji, Haru and Tohru, all waiting to go to the aquarium. Kagura, Kisa, Hiro, Alphonse Heiderich, and Noah where going to meet us there.

"Yay! We can go now!" Momiji screamed and ran out the door to the car.

It was been five days since I saw Al, his head was still sitting on the floor next to my bed and his body still in the forest somewhere.

We rented a van that could hold eight people, Hatori was driving, Shigure in the front seat, Momiji practically jumping in the back seat, with Haru and me sitting next beside him, Tohru was smiling in the seat in front of us, with Kyo and Yuki next to her, mad that they had to sit together.

The aquarium was huge, almost as big as the East HQ.

"Hey," Alphonse said walking up to our group with Noah right behind him.

"Hey," I said back.

"We might want to split up into groups," Shigure suggested.

"That sounds like a wonderful idea," Tohru said. "How should we split them up?"

"We should split the groups up as boys and girls. Hatori will go with the boys and I will go with the girls, so there is an adult present," he said.

"No, no, I want to stay with Kyo," Kagura said hugging Kyo.

"Now, now," Shigure said, "if you split up the other way it would make things easier."

"Fine," she said which surprised me that she would give up that easily.

"Ok, Noah, come with us," Tohru called and Noah went over with them without saying a word.

Then we where off, touring the aquarium, I've never seen anything like it.

The day was just about half way through and we where seeing the seahorses. All of the seahorses where is a large tank, and they where all flocking around Hatori, all except one that is.

"Edward Elric," I heard and turned around to see who called me. There was no one there.

I looked at where my group was and saw them walking away. I began to follow.

"I've been looking for you," the same voice eerie voice said. I turned to my left to see one little, green seahorse.

"Ha, I finally found you," the seahorse said in a small voice.

"ENVY?" I said and stared at it wide eyed and walked away to catch up with my group.

The rest of the day went by fast and I went to sleep very easily that night.

"Yo, Ed," Kyo said coming in to the room, interrupting my reading, "there is somewhere I want to take you come with me." Kyo walked out of the room.

Without saying anything I got up and followed. (A/N no this is not yoai)

We walked for a while and finally reached our destination.

"Here we are: Shishou's dojo." Kyo said and took of his shoes and walked in. I did the same, and thank God I was wearing socks.

"Shishou?" Kyo called

"Kyo, hello," a grey haired mad said coming out from a back room. "Ah, you must be Ed, Kyo said he would bring you here. It's nice to meet you, I am Kazuma Sohma. This is my dojo. Follow me please."

We went into a back room. It was big and had mats on the floor. I guess this was the dojo. Kazuma went into a fighting stance.

"I want you to fight me." He said with a small smile.

"Ok, sure whatever," I said and got into my fighting stance.

He lunged towards me, and I jumped to the side. I countered with a punch, which he easily avoided. I tried to kick him but he moved out of the way. This went on for awhile like this.

It sure was hard just attacking and blocking with my left arm and right leg so he wouldn't figure out about my automail, or my automail hurt him. He seemed to realize that I wasn't using those limbs, and he took that to his advantage. He quickly stuck his foot behind my right leg and tripped me sending me to the ground. There it ended.

"You sure do know how to fight, I had somewhat difficulty bringing you down," he said as I was standing up. "I would like to meet your teacher someday."

"I don't know if that will ever be possible," I said back to him.

"Oh I see, what a shame."

I didn't know what he 'saw' but I doubt it was what I actually meant.

Edward, you are your brother are so skilled in alchemy. It is a shame you couldn't save me. Mom's dead body laid there on the floor.

Big brother, let's play. The creature's voice started out sweet and innocent and turned into a monster's.

Brother, I'm sorry I couldn't see you again. Al's tombstone was there before me.

You idiotic pupil. Teacher's tombstone was next to Al's.

Winry lay on the floor, her face full of fear, her skin pale and cold. Why? Why couldn't you save me, Edward?

My eyes snapped open from the nightmare. I looked at the clock. I was going to be late if I didn't get up now. It has been nine days since we went to the aquarium and three since Kyo to me to Kazuma's dojo.

I got up, got ready, and left.

I met Alphonse down the street a ways. We where going to walk to school together to discuss a class project.

We where standing at a cross walk talking about the project.

"Oh, hey the light is green, come on lets cross," I said and began to cross the street.

Everything that happened after that, happened fast.

"ED WATCH OUT!" I heard Alphonse scream. I looked to my right to see a car speeding toward me. I froze not knowing what to do.

The next thing I know, I was pushed to the ground. I quickly turned around to see the car stopped and Alphonse lying next to it. A puddle of blood was around his head, from where he hit his head when the car hit him, and a puddle around his middle, where the car hit him.

"Alphonse," I said in a whisper.

"Ed," his voice was soft and his skin was paling. "Don't forget me." He closed his eyes. Dead know, departed, gone from this world, in a 'better place', however you put it he was dead, and again there was nothing I could do.

"ALPHONSE!" I screamed.

I'M SO SORRY! I didn't want to kill him, but I had to. Please review, tell me how horrible I am, go on I am ready for it. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. ;-;
