I ran over to the train station at full speed. I passed by some pedestrians and left them with a harsh breeze blowing around them. Something you ought to know about me, it's if I'm incredibly late, I have to, by all means, get there ON TIME. Even if it means I have to use my 'increased senses.'

But…unfortunately…

I don't know where the train station is.

My best bet was to follow my nose to the unsettling scent. And that meant I need to get to Ed. I really hope that I don't end up having a fit though.

10.) A "fit" is what I call a bloodlust reaction.

….Stupid Fits…..

I ran at full speed once again as I sniffed the air. Slowly, an overwhelming scent came over me. I winced as I shut one of my eyes. Yep. No denying it; I'm close. I started to follow the scent to the sound of a train whistle and knew exactly where I was for once. I half smiled as I slowed my pace to an average speed and scanned the area for a blond midget. I sweat dropped.

There are too many people here to find him.

So, instead I looked for Alphonse's huge suit of armor. I soon caught sight of him (No duh) and ran over there. Next to Al was a suitcase I figured he carried his stuff in. As I approached him, I was hit with that overwhelming scent again and had to stop there. I stopped running, panting as I greeted him breathlessly.

"Hey…Alphonse…I…made it…" I said in between breaths.

He turned to me with a gasp. "Oh, hey Seiren. Did you run all the way here?" Al asked, kindly as always.

I half smiled. "Yeah…I'm just…really tired…" I said leaning on my knees for support or I'd fall over.

11.) Using my "increased senses" always tired me out beyond recognition.

"Oh. Well, you should sit down for a little bit. You look really pale," Al said.

My eye twitched as I smirked sarcastically. Get used to it…I'm always this pale. I thought ironically. "I'll be fine…" I said as I stood up completely. "Where's Blondie?"

I heard a growl as something stomped towards me from behind Alphonse. "I was right here…" Ed said angrily.

I jumped as I put a hand over my chest. "Sorry! You were? I just didn't see-"

"Maybe it's best if we get a seat on the train," Al said quickly cutting me off. I turned to him blinking my eyes.

"Train? I thought it took off at seven," I said confused.

"Well, it's 6:50 right now. We should get on before it leaves without us like last time," Ed said as he picked up the suitcase and started off to the gray and dingy train with Armor right behind him.

"Last time? What do you mean 'like last time'?" I asked as I stood there dumbly, watching them walk off.

"Seiren are you coming?" Al called as he waved me over. I sighed and slumped my shoulders as I jogged over to him.

As I walked onto the train, I stopped in surprise as I took in my surroundings. The place was…roomier than I had imagined. Looking from the outside, it looked like it'd be cramped as heck. I walked over to our seats, looking around as I made my steps. I looked like a little kid who was riding on a train for the first time, with my eyes big and my mouth opened as I took in the surroundings. I was surprised and kind of happy. I never been on a train before or even thought I would be on a train. I guess I am like a little kid who was just finding out the little wonders of life.

We soon found decent seats and sat down in them. I decided to sit farthest from Ed as possible so I sat by the window. Alphonse took the spot next to me while Edward sat on the seat across from us. I was a little cramped due to Alphonse because of the armor he wore, but I said nothing of it; a motion Aunt Riza had always pushed on me.

"Are you crowded Seiren? I can always sit by Brother if you want," Al suggested politely. I looked up at him as I stared at him with my eyes growing large. He is so sweet!

I brushed off the cute trance as I cleared my throat. I was about to say that he was crowding me, but I could practically feel Aunt Riza pointing a gun at me, daring me to break away from politeness. I swallowed back the nervousness as I shook my head. "No I'm fine," I said as I felt the gun being lowered, even if she wasn't here.

"Well, okay," Al said as he turned forward again.

I sighed with relief. Aunt Riza definitely has me wrapped around her little finger. Damn it… Someone cleared their throat which made me shift my attention to where the sound was coming from to be met with hard golden orbs. I raised an eyebrow. "What?" I asked, trying not to sound rude.

"So the Colonel told us that you have "heightened senses." Mind telling me what he meant by that?" Ed asked while putting air quotes around 'heightened senses'.

I glared at the image in my head of Mustang telling them all about my 'increased senses.' I sighed as I looked out the window, not intending to have a fit any time soon. "Mustang said that eh?" I asked. "Damn egotistic colonel…"

"What was that?"

"Nothing!" I said quickly. Then I turned my gaze back out the window not trying to meet with their curious stares. "Well…Mustang has an…interesting way of putting things…" I said under my breath as I worked out my words in my head. "Um…You see, my 'senses' are a little higher and more…atoned than most people."

"What do you mean?" Ed asked.

Damn…he's a persistent one isn't he? I thought as I sighed. I decided that the only way he'd believe me would be if I had eye contact so I stared back at him, returning the stare he was giving me and started to work out my explanation. "Like I said, my "senses," as Mustang calls it, are more atoned and higher than most people," I said making the air quotes. "He means that my natural senses are quicker to detect certain things than most people," I said. They both gave me blank stares, obviously not believing a word I was saying. I sighed as I came up with the perfect alibi. "The Hawk's Eye has trained me well," I said secretively and professionally while smirking.

The color drained from Ed's face as he heard the code name 'Hawk's Eye.' He leaned back in his chair as he crossed his legs and arms. "The 'Hawk's Eye' huh?" he asked.

"Who would have thought Lieutenant Hawkeye was training anyone…" Al said as a shiver went down his spine.

I almost jumped out of my seat as I turned to both brothers with my eyes sparkling with interest. "You know Aunt Riza? Really?" I asked excitedly.

Ed raised an eyebrow at my suddenly childish tone and nodded.

"You know Hawkeye?" Al asked.

"She's your Aunt?" Ed asked more shocked than the understanding of me knowing her personally.

I nodded smiling. "Yeah!" I said happily but then frowned at my actual answer. "Well, she isn't my Aunt but I do know her well," I said and then turned happy again. "She's basically like my Aunt though. She took care of me when I was-" I stopped myself before I said the truth of my situation. I thought nervously as I opened my mouth again, ready to respond. "When I was…lost."

"You got lost?" Ed asked.

I felt sweat trickle down my temple and I started waving my hands. "What is this? Question Seiren Day!" I said nervously.

"Maybe it's best if we leave that topic alone for now, Brother," Al said.

"Thank you Alphonse!" I said cheerfully but then my expression dropped as I turned to him startled. "Wait. What do you mean 'for now'?"

"None of your business," Ed said as he leaned back in his chair.

I growled, but didn't press on. Maybe it was best if I left the topic alone too. I rested my head on the palm of my hand and had my arm propped on the window sill of the train. I watched as the scenery passed by in flying colors. I saw greens, blues, browns, and whites dance along the window frame, all new to my eyes. A stray and compelling scent slapped me in the face and I winced. I glanced from the corner of my eye to find Ed sprawled out on the train seat, asleep with a hand on his stomach and the other arm up over his head. I let my eyes falter to his face which held a much different perspective. His expression was soft and serene, almost like he was somehow at ease; or at least relaxed. I turned my head fully towards him, cocking my head to the side as I looked him over. He actually was quite cute without that scowl on his face, like he always has. I started to take on my half smile as I scanned the scene before me.

"He's actually quite…adorable, when he doesn't have that scowl on his face…" I said looking over him.

"Like he's finally relaxed right?"

"Yeah…" I said half smiling. But then my eyes widened as I almost fell out of my seat, allowing my hands fly to my mouth to muffle any screams. I snapped my head to where that voice came from to find Alphonse looking at me. I sighed with relief as I put a hand over my chest. "It's only you…" I said breathless.

"Oh! Did I scare you?" Al asked politely.

"Maybe just a little…" I said as I stood up and took my place next to Alphonse finding that I had actually fallen off the train seat.

"Sorry," Al said sheepishly.

I furrowed my eyebrows at his politeness, finding it a little off. "Don't be. My fault for forgetting where I was," I said as I looked at him from the corner of my eye. "And drop the polite act."

He jumped slightly at my tone of voice as he put his hands up. "W-What do you mean?" he asked startled.

I closed my eyes as I crossed my arms over my chest. "I mean at how polite you've been to me. No need to be this polite, I mean, I appreciate it, but…ya don't have to act like I'm the Queen of the Universe or something like that. Just be yourself," I said, content on how silent he was at my response.

"But…I am acting like myself…"

I turned to him with my eyes large and widened. "What'd ya say?" I asked staring at him.

"I said that, I am acting like myself," Al replied as he rubbed the back of his head.

My eyes turned large again as I began to hug myself and sway. "Ya mean you're THIS sweet?" I asked.

He nodded. "I-I guess you can say that…"

I squealed softly as I bit my lower lip. I giggled as I started to grin. "Ya mean it? Really!" I said excitedly, with my voice going higher than usual.

"Uh…yeah?" he said unsure.

I squealed again as I turned to him with sparkles dangling around my face. "Oh Alphonse! You are so SWEET!" I exclaimed glomping said boy. As I hit him, a loud bang was heard . Almost like a metal bowl falling on the ground. I was brought out of my cute trance as the noise echoed throughout the train booth. I raised an eyebrow as Alphonse hugged himself, making the noise die out suddenly. I looked all around for the cause of the noise to come up with nothing. A groan was heard as a shifting in fabric was atoned to my heightened hearing.

"What are you two doing?" snapped a grumpy blond.

"Huh?" I asked as I shifted my attention to him. Then I smirked trying to bring my attention off of the current incident. "Finally wake up eh?"

"Shut up," Ed growled as he sat up fully rubbing the back of his head yawning. He then stretched his arms above his head hearing a satisfying pop and then he leaned back in his seat again. I frowned seeing the scowl return to his face as I sighed resting my head on the window, watching the scenery fly by in marvelous colors.

I looked down at my hands as I lifted one up to the window, making the moonlight bounce off of my pale skin. I closed one eye as I tried to put the pieces together. My hands didn't have Alphonse's scent on them. Rather, I didn't catch Alphonse's scent at all. I wonder what was going on?

But for now, I pushed all of my suspicions to the side as I drifted my eyes closed, letting blissful sleep take my attention away from the overwhelming scent that gathered in my senses again.


BN: dun dun dun! New suspicions arise between all teens as the road to Central awaits! XD

Until next chap my readers! =:D
