[I DON'T OWN ANYTHING. I DON'T OWN THESE CHARACTERS NOR THE ANIME. I JUST OWN THE STORY]

Ling Yao X Lan Fan

At last, he found the secret to immortality. At his first attempt he thought he finally had it. Unfortunately, his key to being the next emperor of Xing was taken away from him. On the second try he finally obtained it. With a help of his friends, The Fullmetal Pipsqueak, Alphonse, Lan Fan and old man Fu he finally had the Philosopher's stone.

As the sun shone on the new emperor's face, his eyes fluttered open and he let out a soft sigh. With the birds chirping on the early morning the former prince sat up from his bed, grinning as usual.

Ling sat up from his bed, stretching a bit to shake of the feeling of being sleepy. The sheets were pulled away by the newly crowned emperor and went off of his king sized bed.

He did his usual morning routine, taking a quick shower, brushed his hair and tied his hair in his usual ponytail.

He walked through the halls of his palace but then he had this feeling that something wasn't right. He passed some guards but then he didn't see Lan Fan. Maybe she just went out to train the young leader thought as he went downstairs to eat his meal fit for a king.

"Good morning, young lord" A particularly familiar voice greeted him and he looked up to see one of his subjects. Lan Fan wore her mask as usual but he could see that she was smiling. "Good morning to you too" he greeted and continued he finish his feast.

The day went pretty fast. Ling did things that a usual emperor would do. [To be honest I don't really know what they do on their daily lives. Forgive me if what I put here as their duties seems a little inappropriate for an emperor] He went out, introducing himself as the new emperor of Xing. He also went around to see if everyone is doing alright and also had a little feast somewhere nearby. But something was wrong.

"Where's Lan Fan?" Ling asked his other subjects but they just simply said that she went to visit Fu's grave. Of course, being the nice emperor he is he just let her go and visit her grandfather's grave. It would've been nice if he had come along but then he had to fulfill his duties first as an emperor.

Finally, the young lord was back at his palace, about to get ready for bed. He tucked himself goodnight and closed his eyes. Suddenly, he heard a loud thump from somewhere around the palace and searched the dark halls to see what it was. He had his sword just in case anyone would attack him.

As he walked down the hall, he saw one of the doors barely open. That means someone was there. Out of curiosity, he opened the door, not expecting the scene in front of him.

Slashes everywhere that pretty much messed up the room, splattered blood on the walls which made it look like that they had a pretty intense fight, a sword and a gun on the ground which was used.

He looked for the light switch to get a clear view of the room. He wasn't ready for the last factor that someone had fought here in this very room. He saw one of his subjects lying on the ground with her mask broken in half.

Lan Fan was killed.

[OKAY! First story here. HAHA. Well, I wrote a few stories before but then I never made a Fullmetal Alchemist fan fiction. First of all, I would like to thank my friend for giving me an idea on how the story should go while I was freaking out. Thank you so much, Friend]
