Chapter 3: Riza Doen's Like Max

Alphonse's POV

As we walked back to HQ I wanted to know something. But I didn't know how to ask.

"Al I know you want to ask me something. Just ask ok I wont get mad."

Max wasn't looking at me but her voice was soft and sweet. I could feel my face growing hot. "Umm I know you were lying about being human. I know you didn't want them to know. But I want to know what you are."

She stopped in her tracks and looked at me. I couldn't tell what she was thinking, her face showed no emotion at all. Then she looked down and her voice was low and no emotion to it.

"How did you know?"

I looked at her.

"Just the way you move and do stuff. Its cute when you-"

Then a car drove by and Max jumped and growled as she moved in front of me.

"Max what's wrong?"

She didn't move till the car turned.

"What was that monster?"

She looked at me.

"You really aren't from here are you?"

Max nodded as she put her head down.

"That was called a car. We ride in it to go from place to place."

She nodded but didn't say any thing. Then her tummy growled loud.

"Sorry but that little bit of food wasn't going to be enough. I can eat my weight in food or I should say my wolf weight."

I didn't get what she was staying. She smiled a lil.

"Lets go some where to talk."

Then she turned around and we headed back to the park. And sat back on the swings.

"I'm not all human but I love humans my mothers step family is human and my home village is all human besides my mother, my brothers and my father was human but not anymore. He's like us, my mother asked him if he wanted to be like her. He said yes and now he's one of us."

She was talking fast like she wanted to get it all out.

"I'm part wolf-demon and human but there is something else but I don't know what it is. I just have a feeling that I'm more then my brothers. Mother thinks so to but she doesn't know ether. I can turn into a wolf any time I want. But when the full moon is out me and my family use to phase and run around all night as wolfs."

She had tears in her eyes but her voice was calm.

"I will never see them every again. I'm the only one of my kind here."

I put my arm about her. She lost so much in one day. Being ripped away form her home and family. Then being dropped in to a world that she doesn't know.

"I'm sorry Max it must be hard for you. Me and my brother lost our mother at a young age. Our father walked out on us before she died."

She pulled me closer to her and put her forehead next to mine.

"I'm sorry for your loss Al. But you have your brother and your friends."

When she smiles its amazing. It was a lil bit wolfish and she had a fang showing. I couldn't looked away from her face her eyes if you look closely they look like wolf eyes but a different color. But then Winry's face popped up in my mind. She was the first girl I fell in love with. . .

Max's POV

We were having a good time but then his face was sad. I kissed his cheek. He looked at me.

"Sorry I talk to much. We better get back or we get in trouble."

He nodded. We got up and started to walk back to HQ. We didn't talk but there was something that I did get from him that he didn't say. there was another girl in his life. I should have know. That's my luck a cutie sweet funny guy has someone else in his eye. I slowed down some not really noticing that I was doing that. Al looked at me and slowed down to. I didn't look at him but at the ground. I wonder what my family is doing. Did they know I was gone yet? Or that they will never see me again? Dam the Angels who did this to me. . .

Roy's POV

"What the Hell Lt.? Why did you have to hurt her feelings?"

Riza just looked at me. I don't know why she was acting like this to her. Riza looked at me again. "What are you talking about Sir. She was asking for it. Thinks she can do what ever she wants. She's not human! No one can jump from a window three story's high and live."

I had to fight back what I really what to say to her.

"If so that doesn't give you the right to talk to her like that. You saw what she did would you like to piss her off again?"

What she did was amazing but at the same time scary. After what Riza did to her I was surprised that she didn't kill Riza. But what shocked him most was that Alphonse jumps up and said.

"I go get her you guys stay here."

Then he ran after her.

"So Mustang what are you going to do with her now?"

I really don't know what to do with her.

"I don't know yet Elric."

Then I turned around to look out the window. I could still feel her lips on mine. I know she was just playing around but there was something about it that I liked. No women has ever done anything like that to me. I want her to be mine and Ed wants her as while. But she wouldn't go for a shrimp like him. I couldn't help but to smile to my self. . .

No One's POV

Max and Alphonse just made it back to HQ and was about to walk throw the door. But they didn't they just stood out there looking at each other. Max took in a small breath then put her hand on the door. Then looked at Al, he nodded at he. She slowly opened the door no one was in the front so they walked to the Mustang's office. She knocked.

"Come in."

Came through the door. Max opened the door and every one looked at them as they walked in. Max had her face blank as she walked in with Al right behind her. Riza looked at her but she didn't say a word. Then Max clinched her fists and looked at her like she could hear what she was thinking.

"If you have more to say to me then just say it. Instead of thinking it, that pisses me off more." Max side throw her teeth. Every one looked at her.

"I don't know what your talking about."

Was all that Riza said.

"Come off it. You were just thinking that it would have been better if Alphonse didn't fined me." Then her eyes got huge. Then Roy looked at Max then at Riza.

"Was she right Lt.?"

All she could do was to nod.

"How can you do that Max?"

Said Roy. When Max finally looked away from Riza to look at Roy.

"Its one of the many gifts I have. I can ignore it or not hear it most of the time but when its about me. Its a lot louder then others."

She was shacking with rage.

"I know I'm not all human. Happy I said it."

Her eyes were back on Riza. But Riza didn't say a word.

"Where I' from its ok to be different. I was the best at what I did."

Ed spoke up.

"What were you good at?"

Max looked at Ed.

"Back home we didn't have this-"

She pointed to everything and at Roy.

"We had leader of the village who leads and protected us. Then we have the ninjas who protected him and the village. We give our lives for the village and for the one's we love. The ninja's go on missions to make money for the village. I lost people that I cared about on missions."

Max took a deep breath and plopped down next to Ed.

"I don't care what any of you think of me at all. Just so you know-"

She paused and looked at every one then got up. But her eyes were a sky blue and her voice changed. It was more sexier then before like there was someone else talking for her.

"If anyone try's to hurt her that will be the last thing you will ever do. Max doesn't need you to look at her with hatred in your eyes. She wont tell you this but even back home there are still some of them that looks at her like that. Our mother was the first of our kind to stay in the village with every one not liking her. But her sons are will like but Max is different from them. She's been throw hell and back and she still loves humans. I don't see why but she still would give her live to save and protected them with her live."

Then her eyes when back to normal and the same with her voice.

"I hate it when she takes over like that."

She mumbled to her self as she sat back down.

"What was that about?"

Said Roy. But Al was the one who spoke

"That's her wolf."

Ed looked over at his brother.

"And how the hell did you know that?"

Al's face turn a lil bit pink.

"We talked before we came back."

Roy looked at Max.

"What is the wolf?"

Max looked over at him and smiled.

"The wolf is part of me one soul but two sprits. We are one but nether of us cant live with out the other. She is my sister you could say my animal side of who I am. When the full moon is out she comes out to play."

Roy's POV

She is weird but she's so hot. Even if she's not all human. When she was done talking it was very late.

"Will its late and we need are sleep. So every one go home get some rest and we see every one back here in the morning."

I was tired and I wasn't thinking about what I was saying. Max looked at me.

"Umm Roy I cant go home."

I saw the sadness in her eyes.

"I'm sorry Max I wasn't thinking. You know what you can come home with me."

Every one looked at me.

"You cant be serious Sir. She might be lying about who she is. And is here to kill you."

I looked at her.

"Lt. I had enough of you for one night go home now."

I said calmly. She gave Max one more hatred look then left.

"I would be grateful Roy but I couldn't ask you to do something like that for me."

I just smiled at her.

"Its fine Max I don't mind at all."

Ed looked at me

"Mustang I don't think that's a good idea so I'm coming with her."

The smile faded from my face.

"But Elric you have your know place to stay she doesn't. Or is it just because you like her?"

I smirked at him. Ed's face went pink. So he does like her but it would be better to have him were I can keep a eye on him.

"Ok Elric if you don't trust me then you and Al can stay at my place."

.

A~^~^~^~^~^~^~M~^~^~^~^~^~^~A

A~^~^~^~^~^~^~M~^~^~^~^~^~^~A

.

When we got to my place all of there mouths were open. Ed said.

"I didn't know you live in a mansion."

I just smirked at him and walked up the steps to the front door. They followed me in side.

"Who's hungry?"

They all said they were so I started to cook them a late dinner. When it was done we eat.

"Wow this is really good Roy."

Max smiled at me. My heart started to beat faster.

"Thank you Max."

Her smile got bigger. Then she dug into her food. Ed kept his eyes on her just like me. I was doing a good job not to let it show on my face. Then we got done eating and Max helped me with the dishes as the boys took a shower.

"So Max is that your real name?"

She looked at him.

"What gives you the idea that Max isn't my real name?"

I looked at her

"Your mother I believe wouldn't name her only daughter that."

She smiled at lil.

"Your right. If I tell you can we keep it just between you and me?"

I nodded.

"Its Mercy."

I looked at her

"A pretty name for a pretty woman."

She looked at me with something in her eyes.

"You call me a woman. You are the first male that ever called me a woman."

Her face started to turn pink.

"Will that's what I see when I look at you."

I could feel my own face getting hot.

"Sorry I didn't mean to say that. It would never work out between us. I'm a lil bit to old for you." She giggled softly.

"You want to hear how my mother met my father?"

We got done with the dishes and we sat at the table.

"On my mom side of the family they don't age like humans do. We age slowly my mother came to a new land. She looked like she was still 13 but she really was 25 years old when she met my father. He was 12 but he didn't care about her age. Age is just a number to us."

Then she stood up and reached across the table. She smiled as her lips came closer to mind but then she pulled away.

"Sorry but I don't think this is right. I really want to but it might be just because I lost every thing in one day."

But then I couldn't help my self. I stood up and kissed her on her lips. She didn't pull back but kissed me back. . .
