" are you done pip…" envy began, but Akane cut in to avoid ed alchemizing something from high in the tree.

She looked up at him from on the ground. "are you done Edward?" she asked in a parental tone.

"well, I." he said at a loss for words, knowing he was in deep trouble.

"get down out of the tree now." Said Akane pointing at the tree then the floor tapping her foot.

"but i.." he said stuttering at the fierce look she gave him.

"now damn it! You can't stay in that tree forever!" she yelled.

"Alright, alright." He mumbled and jumped out of the tree.

"is she your mother or something?" asked envy very uncharacteristically curious.

"my girlfriend." Said Edward, proud at having Akane as his girlfriend… but at the same time cowering at the fact that she was not like winry no, winry wouldn't, and couldn't kill him. But Akane on the other hand wouldn't give it a second thought.

"well at least you'll have a girlfriend before you die." Said envy smugly.

"shut up, I'm not going to die." Said Edward crossing his arms.

"whatever… see ya." Envy said walking away holing his hand up as a signal of him leaving.

"wait what?" asked Akane confused at why he would just leave like that.

"you guys bore me now, you aren't too interesting today." Said envy almost out of range of hearing and vision, until he finally was gone altogether.

"that was sooooo weird." Akane said looking at Ed.

"ya, I'm starting to wonder if were dreaming." Said Ed scratching his head.

"oh well." He said running his hands through his bangs. "lets go, I'm tiered." Said Edward walking over to Akane a few steps.

"man my back hurts." He said rubbing his back as they walked away close to each other.

"that's because you climbed a tree and then like a retard, jumped out." Said Akane looking at him from the corner of her eyes.

"not true." Said Edward. "yes true!" said Akane.

"awww, look their having their first fight." cooed roy to excitedly to Riza.

"ya it's cute." Said Riza her expression softening.

Envy walked by a dog in an alley way, and the dog looked at him, almost as if… surprised. Then it frowned, if dogs could frown.

"who are you?" the dog asked.

"huh?" envy said and turned around, he smiled. "envy?" he asked.

"ya who are you?" asked envy angry. He returned to his "human" form, and put his hands on his hips.

"do you like my new talent?" the other envy asked. "it's a new one, I used to be able to only change my body into weapons, this is very useful." He said scowling and smiling.

"who are you?" repeated envy.

"you know that alchemist brat, you and your homunculus biddies like so much?" asked the other envy returning to his original form, with jet black hair and towering height.

"ya, what of it?" asked the real envy.

"we have some business with his girlfriend." Said the man smirking.

"girl…?" asked envy but paused, the laughed and put his hand to his forehead in amusement. "so he finally got a girlfriend." Said envy amused that Edward was growing up from the little twelve year old pipsqueak from three years ago.

Ah..CHOO!! sneezed Ed. He rubbed his nose a sighed. "Guess someone's…" ah…CHOO!! Sneezed Akane as well. "talking about us?" she finished his sentence, questioning it.

"I guess." Said Ed forgetting it as fatigue hit them. Edward unable to take it sat down in the middle of the street on their way to the hotel.

"come on!" akane yelled, trying to pull him but giving up and falling on the ground.

"maybe we can crawl there." she said defeated.

"ya." Said Edward beginning to crawl, Akane close behind.

They crawled down the sidewalk, drawing strange glances from people walking, and a few glares at Akane from some Edward fangirls, who somehow new that Edward had a girlfriend, and this was her.

"seems roy and the rest have been busy while we were on our date." Mumbled Ed, noticing the fangirls.

"guess so, but then we can start saying about him and Riza." Said Akane getting an evil glint in her eye.

Edwards eyes sparkled at the idea. "I like the way you think." He said looking at her and smiled.

"are we almost there?" asked Akane gaining some strength and getting up, and looking down at Ed pathetically trying to get up, struggling with the weight of his automail. Akane helped him up and looked forward. Her eyes widened, and she dropped to the ground.

"no….no…" she whispered clutching her chest. "it cant be him… it cant be…" she panted.

"Akane, are you okay?" asked Edward getting down on his kneed and putting his hands on her shoulders. People bean to gather and Edward shooed them off, telling them to put their noses in someone else's business.

Edward leaned into her. "are you okay?" he repeated.

"that… I just… I just saw… my… my brother." She breathed looking up to him horror filled her eyes.

"what? So?" he said, not thinking about his words.

"Edward, you don't understand." She said looking him in the eyes tears beginning to build up in her eyes. "my brother died, five years ago." She said. "i… I watched him die… by car accident… on the street….. it cant be him." She said trying to convince herself, but her and Ed had seen enough to know this wasn't something to just look over, it was real.

Akane took a deep breath and got a hold of herself. "come on, were going to the train station." Akane said getting up and walking to the train station that coincidentally was across the street.

"what?" asked Edward, before getting up and chasing after her, she bought two train tickets for an abandoned town, or at least that was what the ticket master said, Ed suspected it was Akane's hometown.

They got on the train and for an hour they said nothing until they got there.

Ed and Akane got off the train and stood in an empty station desolate with no signs of life for a long time.

"this is… where you grew up?" asked Ed as they walked through the ghost town.

"ya." Said Akane not really listening with full attention, it seemed like she was looking for something.

She stopped abruptly in front of a gated cemetery, Edward bumped into her and then looked at the sign; that read, raven sorrows cemetery.

"were gonna climb it." Said Akane starting to climb the vines entwined in the metal bars, that seemed strangely colored, like it was darker in some places. After closer inspection Ed saw that it was splattered blood, all of a sudden he stared noticing everything covered in blood, he saw a body in an alley.

"why don't we just…"

"no, were gonna climb it because I don't want to alchemize anything here." Said Akane at the top of the fence, Edward climbed up behind her and they jumped to the other side.

They walked through the cemetery, it sent shivers up Ed's spine. How could Akane be so calm? The thought. He looked at her face, and saw not a calm expression, but one of horrified focus.

They stopped in front of a grave and Akane picked up a shovel from the ground, she gave no thought to why the shovel was there, and she dug it into the earth over the ground. Lightning flashed and it began to drizzle.

"Akane what are you doing?!" asked Ed horrified that she would disturb a grave.

"this is my brothers grave… I have to see if he really died." Said Akane her eyes full of guilt and fear, and determination.

She dug up the grave as the rain fell steadily harder. She hit something hard and Ed helped her pull out a casket.

Akane forced it open and looked at the body inside. It was a man about eighteen or seventeen. His face was so serene, it looked like he was sleeping. Akane touched his face, and it deteriated at her touch.

"ha…ha…." She laughed.

"ha… ha ha…ha ha ha…HA HA HA HAHA HAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!" she laughed falling to her knees and laughing up at the sky, allowing the rain to hit her freely.

"ha…ha……ha." She slowly stoped laughing, and began to take deep breaths, he face contorting into a relieved look, she shut her eyes tight.

"Akane!" cried Ed coming to her side.

"it's… it's not him… he did die… it's him over there… it's…not.. him." Said Akane breathlessly.

"that's great…. It's raining." Said Edward holing her shoulders, pointing out the obvious.

"ha ha… ya… it's nice." Said Akane leaning into him; and he wrapped his arms around her and held her tight. She burrowed her face into his chest feeling the cold of the automail.

"lets go… we need to get back to central, everyone is probably looking for us." Said Akane pulling out of his embrace reluctantly.

Xxx

"OH MY GOD! Where did they go???" yelled a very stressed roy running through central, with an alert Riza.

"damn it!! Where are they? See this is why we don't leave those two alone together!" he yelled, until he decided to check in alleys.

"they didn't get murdered did they?" asked roy suddenly as they passed a dead end alley.

"I doubt…" Riza said until roy went on with his rant.

"maybe they were killed by a serial killer, or…. Or.. a kidnaper, I mean they're two adorable little kids… damn… damn, damn… DAMN IT! He yelled when he came out of the alley furious.

"I'll kill them!!!" he puffed.

"roy… calm down, your getting worked up." said Riza putting her hand on his shoulder.

"no I'm not" he yelled. "what if they…. No… Ed's woman shy, he wouldn't… no…. they… oh my god." Roy stammered to himself.

"they're fifteen, I doubt it roy." Said Riza the only voice of logic for miles. Or at least in roy's case.

"but… but.. they…" he said turning to her puppy face and all.

"remember Ed's woman shy, you said so yourself, he couldn't get over something like that instantly." Said Riza comfortingly.

"right…. Right… your right." He mumbled.

"relax, concentrate on something else." Riza said.

Alright… calm down roy mustang think of something else… concentrate! He thought furiously to himself

Iron

Cobalt

Nickel

Copper

Zink

"I didn't mean that." Riza sighed. "you defiantly are an alchemist." She said and smiled.
