Chapter 3

"Excuse me…are you Hissori…Hissori Shiroi?" A man with white hair in a low pony tail, and wearing glasses asked.

Hissori stopped and turned facing the man, "And you are?"

"I'm a big fan of yours…I wanted to see if you would want to grab a bite to eat with me?"

Hissori laughed a little. "Sorry, but I don't date stalkers. Besides I'm not famous for anything, so you got the wrong person."

The man sighed, "What a pity, I wanted to avoid any fighting, but I guess it cant be helped." The man's hand began to glow a bluish-green color.

Hissoris' eyes widened. "How'd you-" She wasn't able to finish her question, she was too busy dodging his attacks. She didn't know exactly what his hand would do if it touched her, but she didn't want to find out any time soon. Quickly Hissori clapped her hands together, slammed them on the ground, and created a flash of blue light. She then pulled out a long pole with a blade at the end of if. "I don't know who you are, or how the hell you made your hand do that glowy-thing, but you made a big mistake picking me to be your next victim," Hissori warned.

"So…that's Alchemy," The man smiled, pushing his glasses up his face, "I wonder who's the better fighter, a Shinobi of Sound, or an average Alchemist?"

"Average?…did you just see what I did? How's that- wait…shinobi?" The man disappeared then reappeared behind Hissori, forcing her to do a front flip away from him.

In mid-flip, Hissori swung her blade at the man cutting him in the stomach. He began to bleed, and he quickly grabbed for his wound. "Heh, I guess…" Hissori was then stunned by how quickly the man's cut was healing, just by him touching it with his glowing hand.

"Now that wasn't very nice," He sighed.

"Now your really pissing me off!" Hissori shouted. She clapped her hands together again, slamming them on the ground. This time creating a cage around the man trapping him….or so she thought. Hissori walked towards the caged man. "Now tell me exactly who you are…and how you know me."

The man smiled. "When the time comes you will know the answer to those very questions. But until then, it was very nice seeing you…Hissori Shiroi." He made a hand sign, then a big cloud of smoke appeared. As the smoke began to vanish, Hissori saw that the cage she transmuted was empty. The man was gone, there was no sign of him even being there.

'Who was that guy? How did he know me? What did he want with me? And how the HELL did he heal his wound so damn fast?!'

It was late at night, and everyone at the camp area was sleeping, well almost everyone.

Awaii was sitting up in a tree, staring at her locket. She opened it and looked at the picture inside. The picture was of a woman who had short blonde hair and brown eyes, a man with long black hair and pale skin, and a young girl about 3 years old with long blonde hair and brown eyes. The woman and the girl were smiling, but the man had a deadly look in his eyes. Awaii hated that man. He was the reason she was hated by everyone, the reason her mother was gone, and the reason she was alive. Awaii sighed, then leaned back and closed her eyes. She was a little tired and knew that the others would be waking soon. But as soon as she closed her eyes, she heard some kind of movement down below her. She quickly sat up, reaching for her dagger, she dropped her locket.

"Shit!" He jumped down from the tree and went to grab for her locket, but another set of hands grabbed it before she was able to get it.

"Is this you?" Red asked, looking at the picture.

Awaii grabbed the locket out of her hand. "You shouldn't look at other people's stuff without their permission, it could get you killed..."

"Was that your mom and dad?" She asked, "Is-is your father Orochimaru?"

Awaiis body tensed up, and she made a fist. She didn't like to refer to him as her father, not after what he did.

"That man doesn't deserve the title of father, so…no he's not," Awaii declared.

"You know…you can talk to me. I know we just became friends, but….I don't think you should have to deal with that kind of pain alone…"Red said. She placed her hand on Awaii's shoulder in a friendly way.

But Awaii just moved away from Red, looked away, then jumped back up into the tree. "Just mind your own business, and get some rest. The others will be waking soon," Awaii suggested. She put the locket back around her neck and closed her eyes

"Why wont you talk? Are you afraid?…Afraid of opening up? If so…why?"

Awaii opened her eyes and looked down at Red.

Red seemed like she really wanted to know more about Awaii. "Maybe your right…I am afraid…and I don't want to open to others. But why should I open to someone who is just going to end up hating me, just like everyone else?!" Awaii shouted.

Red then jumped up into the tree Awaii was in and sat down across from her. " I'm not like other people. I wont end up hating you, what ever happened was in the past…besides its not like you chose him to be your dad….it just happened."

"If he was a dad, then why'd he do the things he did…huh? Why'd he do so many experiments on his own daughter, that she couldn't sleep at night? That she began hearing other's thoughts? That she killed her own mother? Is that what you call a dad?.." Awaii questioned, becoming sad, upset and many other hurt feelings.

"He did that to you? But…why?" Red asked.

"Why?….I asked him that once, and you know what he told me?!…" Awaii shouted, tears building up in her eyes, " he said… it was because I wasn't good enough for him…that he was ashamed to call me his daughter….that he wished I would of just died…."

Awaii didn't know why she was telling Red all this stuff. She didn't even know the girl, and here she was spilling her heart out to her, telling her things that she never told anyone…

Hissori ran home, to tell Al and Ed what had happened to her. About the man who called himself a shinobi.

"ED! AL!" She shouted as she opened the door to their house.

Al was sitting at the table eating some rice, and Ed was on the couch, already asleep.

"What's wrong Hissori? Something happen?" Al asked her.

Hissori closed the front door, walked over to the table, and sat down across from Al. She nodded her head. "Some man attacked me today…he said he was a 'shinobi' …whatever that is…he knew my name, and when he was cut, he was able to heal it just by touching it, without the use of Alchemy…or the stone," Hissori explained, almost in a shouting tone.

Ed woke up after hearing Hissori say someone attacked her. "Wait….you said someone attacked you?…But how? Did ya let them?…'Cause you aren't the type of girl to just get attacked…." Ed questioned, as he got up and sat down beside Al at the table.

"Yes Ed…I allowed this man to attack me," Hissori said sarcastically, "No dumb ass, he just attacked me…well it was more like he asked me to grab something to eat with him….I told him no…and then that's when he attacked me."

"So…you turned him down, and that's when he attacked you…he sounds like a stalker," Ed sighed as he stood up and went to grab some ramen.

"That's what I thought…until he was able to move faster than any normal person…and he called himself a 'shinobi,'" Hissori explained, "also his hand was glowing a bluish-green color."

Ed and Al looked at Hissori, confused, then at each other. "Umm…Hissori you sure you didn't hit your head?" Al questioned.

"I didn't hit my head damnit! Why wont you two believe me? It's not like I've lied to you guys before."

Ed raised his eyebrow at Hissori. "Alright…but you gotta admit that one was funny…but I'm not lying this time."

"Alright," Ed sighed, "Show us this 'glowing man'."

"I cant…he got away," Hissori mumbled crossing her arms and turning away from the brothers.

"You let him get away?!" Ed shouted.

"Once again Ed…I didn't let him get away, he disappeared in a ball of smoke," She explained, now sounding irritated.

"Maybe she did hit her head, big brother."

Hissori glared at Al then got up out of her chair and stomped off into her room.

'Stupid Ed and Al, I didn't hit my head, I know what I saw….right?'

"Awaii….I'm sorry he did all those things to you, but that doesn't mean you have to be alone…and try to avoid all people," Red said softly.

Awaii turned her head away from Red. "I don't mind being alone…being with others will only hold me back…and will allow me to get hurt…or even others get hurt."

Red looked at Awaii. She could tell Awaii didn't want to be alone, that she was lying when she said that, but she wasn't lying when she said that others would get hurt. Red knew that Awaii didn't want others to get hurt. Awaii wasn't really a bad person, but she had been told that all her life, so that was what she was going to believe. "Awaii?…." Red called, there was no answer. Red looked over at her face and saw that she had fallen asleep. Red decided right then that she would stay with Awaii, become her friend, and make sure no one ever hurts her again.
