Klara's POV

As Scar disapeared into the mist of the rain I let out my breath, which I didn't relize I was holding, glad he didn't notice how scared I was. I looked up to my window. He knows exactly where I live. Spooky.

I went back into my apartment as the tea pot started to whistle. I poored myself a cup of herbal green tea and sat in my living room staring at my window, I could see the rain streaking down it from behind the pale yellow curtains, cleanning the slight flim of dust that attached to it in my absense, at least I won't haveto clean it. I started to drift into a half sleep, thinking about what and where I was going to next. I probably am going to have to move in with Hawkeye for a while to be safe.

Just as I finished my cup of tea and was in deep thought about making another someone knocked on the door, making me jump in surprise, "I'm way too jumpy."I went to the door and opened it slightly and saw it was Ed. I sighed, mostly out of relief it was just him, and partly out of announce. "What do you need, Ed?" I asked trying to be polite but it came out as annoyed, guess I am more annoyed then I thought.

"How about a towel?" He asked paracticly pushing his way in the door.

"You know that's not what I was asking, but fine; I'll get you a towel." I replied glaring down at the back of his soked head as he walked into my livingroom. I walked through the livingroom to the bathroom and grabbed a towel, it had a big bleach stain in one of the corners. I smirked.

I threw the towel at his face, noting it didn't hurt my side, and he grumbled something and I smiled. He glared at me and said, "What are you smiling about?"

I rolled my eyes and replied, "Oh, just that when I threw the towel it didn't hurt. I'm on the road to a quick recovery. Now, why have you rudely come into my apartment while I was contemplating having another cup of tea?"

He puffed up, his blonde hair seeming not to be wet at all of a sudden, "Mustang told me to come and keep an eye on you. He seems oddly worried about you."

"Oh, then can I kick you out into the hall where you can "keep an eye on me" just as well as in my apartment?" I asked, "OR should I not even ask? And just tell you I had a nice little chat with our killer friend and he doesn't seem to want to kill me any more at this moment, hm."

"WHAT YOU TALKED TO HIM?" Ed shouted jumping up from the now wet couch.

"Yep, and not more then ten minutes before you got here. You have the darnedest luck with finding him Ed, "I replied shrugging one shoulder. Then I asked hopefully, "So does that mean you'll just leave?"

"Hell yes. If there is no reason for me being here why would I stay in the house of a giant?" he replied obviously angry that he missed Scar being here.

I opened the door with a smile, "Well then Ed, fair well."

He grumbled about something and then went through the door scrathing his head. I was two inches from the door being shut and him being gone when he shouted, "Wait Klara!"

I let out an extremly exasperated sigh and opened up the door again, "What do you want, Ed?"

"What did the two of you talk about?" he asked seemingly cerious about it.

I thought about it for a second then replied, "We really didn't talk about anything it truly was just a long stand of questions. Neither of us geting any were with answers to our questions except with another question. Now does that answer your question?"

"Uhhh, yes, er, no... I don't know." he said looking rather confused, "Did he say anything that would give away what he was planing on doing next?"

"Nope, but he did walk away when the subject of him stopping killing state alchemists for him knowing why I became one."

"Interesting." he said with that deep thoughtful look on his face. He looked up at me and then asked, "Why did you become a state alchemist?"

"Bye Ed," I said rolling my eyes, shuting the door. I sighed. I became a state alchemist because I did. Easy as that, no real reason to be seen... I wonder how Scar would react to that answer? I chuckled to myself and got some more tea.

Shimobo:I hope you liked it. Tell me if you can think of anything to make it more interesting/ better. Something to make the chapters longer, something like that...
