Shimobo: Ha! I finally finished it!

Hitomi: And it's still really short.

Shimobo: Yes, yes, I noticed this. I will try to make the next chapter longer, but this is what I got done after six months and I thought I should put something up for you few reader that thought I gave up on this story.


Klara's POV

3 months later

"Finally!" I shouted as I walked out the front door of the hospital.. Some of the people around me smiled at my cheerfulness about coming out of the hospital, while others snickered. I just grinned and took in a deep breath of fresh air to clean out the nasty hospital smell that I had been living in and it hurt. The pain from my injury shot up my side. I inhaled sharply and grabbed my injured side. Using the circle on the back of my hand I made leaves and pressed them up against the wound, which opened, again. Quickly deprived of my happiness, I went back inside to get it dressed again before I left.

When I got to the desk, the nurse said with a smile, "Back already? We told you it would open up."

"Yeah, yeah, Just dress it again and I'll wait for the bleeding to stop. Then, I'll leave and be more careful this time," I huffed, glaring at the nurse for being so cheery that I came back to the hospital.

"Okay, Major Mawole, right this way," she said after a minute on the phone with the doctor.

I followed her to a room that the doctor was in. He was with another patient. Glaring at him and the nurse, who was glad I was here because the Elric brothers were forced to come see me every three days. Sometimes they were actually dragged in by Mustang or Hawkeye.

"Take a sit in that chair for a minute, Ms. Mawole," the doctor said to me, then said a few things to the patient, and then came over with some bandages to redress my wound for the 20th time that week. Being a Tuesday it was pretty sad. Right when he got done he said, "You should stay here at least until it doesn't open every time you move too much."

"If I liked the hospital and the Elrics that much I would, but I don't really like either of them so, no thanks, Doc," I replied, taking a sharp breath as he put some sort of medic stuff on it to clean it.

The doctor, whose name I never took the time to learn, sighed and said, "Tell me you are going to be careful then, Klara Mawole."

"Why wouldn't I? It's not like I want to bleed to death!" I said with an exasperated sigh. The doctor looked at me with a blank stare. I let loose another exasperated sigh and then said, "Fine, I'll be careful not to let my guts bleed out. Happy?"

The doctor nodded, and I was released once again. Walking outside again, not taking a deep breath but slowly cleansing out the nasty hospital smell. I looked around and saw Mustang and Hawkeye standing nearby to the right. I walked over to them. Hawkeye saw me first, smiled, and said to me, "You look like you're too happy to be out."

I nodded and smiled back, "I am happy. I finally get away from the stench most people say is sterile and means it's clean. Personally, I would take the lemon scented crap over that any day."

"Does it still hurt?" Mustang asked, with a well hidden evil gleam to his eyes.

"Nope, never did hurt. Just bleeds like crazy, when I, well, do almost anything." I said looking at my side.

"Oh," he said, looking surprised and disappointed at the same time. "Wait? Weren't you in pain about three months ago?"

"Only because of my head." I answered, starting to walk away. "See you two later. I have things to do."

I sighed as I turned around a corner and stepped into the shade of a maple tree. I stood there watching people walk by, some of them rushing, some of them just walking leisurely. Some had brown hair some had black, and a few with blonde. Wait, one of the blondes was walking with a tin can next to him. "Edward!" I yelled, walking out from the shade of the tree.

He turned towards me spinning around quickly. Then he relaxed and said, disappointed, "Oh, it's you, Klara."

"Are you saying that I'm worthless just because I'm hurt in the side still?" I asked, glaring walking up, glaring down at him.

"Of course I am. It's not like you can chase me even if you did hate what I said. Your side would open again. Are you sure you should be out?" He asked, shrugging, acting like he wasn't annoyed that I was purposely towering over him.

I sighed dramatically and asked, "What is with people and asking that? Seriously, you're the sixth person to ask me that."

"Only six?" Ed asked, looking at me like I was stupid.

I glared at him once again and said, "That is the number of people I've talked to! And since you're being so mean, I'm going to leave!"I walked away more to annoy him than because he was being mean. He's just too easy to annoy.

I walked around town not wanting to go home. The last time I tried, I nearly got cut in half. Thinking back on it, I remember seeing a look of surprise on Scar's face when jumped me. I don't know whether it was because the fact that I was Ishvailian or whether it was because I was a girl. I don't know. Whatever the reason it was, I was happy about it. I sighed and walked around a corner, running into someone. I looked up to see who it was and what do you know, it's a surprised Scar. "Boo?" I said backing away slowly. He just stood there looking shocked. I laughed then turned around and jogged off to find someone to talk to. I stopped jogging before I started to have to breathe heavier so I didn't jog very far, but I saw the Elrics standing about where they were a moment before. Mustang and Hawkeye were with them now.

I snuck up behind Ed and said, "Boo," Just like I did when I literally ran into Scar. He turned around slowly and looked at me.

"What do you want, Klara?" he asked, glaring at me.

"I just ran into Scar. I thought I'd let you know." I answered, pouting a little bit and then I turned to walk away.

"What?" Mustang, Al, and Ed all shouted at the same time. Then Hawkeye asked, "What'd he do?"

I turned around and said, "Stood there and looked completely and utterly shocked." Then I turned back around, deciding to finally to go home because he obviously wasn't going to try to kill me, and if he was he wasn't in the right area, then again I knew a different way home than the way I usually took.


Shimobo: Hoped you liked it. Have a good rest of the day.

Hitomi: If there are still mistakes my bad. I actually edited this for her. Bye for now.
