Chapter Eleven….
Izumi's Point of View ~
Everything…..everything…is slowly fading…everything's breaking apart….It was like a nightmare…..
I snickered at his displeasing look. Of course, who would be pleased with this kind of distress? "Tss…You're such a pain in the ass…." I whispered, angrily. I heard him sighed. "You do loathe me that much, huh? Being his superior that is….." he said. "Tss….Not that I loathe you….that much" I replied, suddenly feeling sorry for him.
"Hey! Mustang! By the way, about your story, is it really everything? Had you already told us everything? It's my first time hearing it, so if there's any continuation to it, better tell me now…" I said, with my voice raised to that of a 'like a boss' or a superior tone or something.
I gazed at him, and saw his face looked terribly down. "I'm telling you, it's all that I can remember…..My memory is not as vivid as it may seem…." He said, with his voice low. I stared at him. I could see right through his eyes that he was not hiding something unpleasant. So, I offered my hand. "Hope…..you'll regain what you had lost in that day…" I said, with a soft grin.
He took my offer.
As soon as he grabbed my hand, I felt something like a shack of lightning that struck my whole body.
Damn! What's with all this mess?!
"Izumi? Are you alright?" I felt a soft hand gently touched my shoulders. I gazed upon her and saw Riza. I quickly tried my best to regain my composure. "Yes…I'm alright….." I replied, nearly a whisper. "It doesn't seem like you are….." Roy, who was now standing just a few inches apart from me said. "Yeah, right…." Were the last words I said before I headed up-stairs.
The thing I just felt earlier kept bugging my mind. What was that thing? Is my calculation true? Are my predictions true? Damn! What did I do wrong to this world that it gave me so many problems!?
I halted when I reached a certain room. Tss….now my feet stopped itself?! I gazed at the door and realized which room it belongs to. Come to think of it, I haven't visited him ever since he got here.
Would it be bad if I try it out now?
I opened the door and saw the dim room. And there he was, lying softly at the soft bed. The wind blew gently at the opened window beside his bed. Yes, this room was his to begin with. I sighed.
Then walk slowly to his side. He is quiet in his slumber, and his stomach wasn't exposed, which I found really odd. "You're really my stupid student…" I said softly as I sat beside his bed.
Even for this one…..I let myself trust him….I let myself believe that he was MY student…that he was the person I longed to see…..that he was the person we all sought for…that he was Edward…..Edward Elric…
"What had caused your drastic change, I wonder?" Now, I felt really odd talking to a sleeping guy, you know, for there is absolutely no chance of him answering back. "Why did you start ignoring us?" Yeah, like he really ignored you.
You didn't approach him at all….
"Why had you forgotten everything? What had caused your memories to vanish? What? What had happened?" I asked him all these questions.
"Tss….Why should I expect you to answer?"
I stood up, and walked towards the door. There is no use of staying here anymore. I'm still uncertain of him being the real Ed. I was about to turned the knob when something struck my mind.
Why?
I felt my feet dragging my whole body back to his side again. I stared at my hand. Why? Why all of a sudden, my body started moving on its own? I stared at my hands then to him.
I wanted to feel his hand….
I gently grabbed his hand.
And there it was again….
A sudden struck of some kind of electricity went through my veins and into my mind. This, this feeling, it's the same thing I felt when I came in contact with the Colonel's bare hands.
This is one thing for sure….
"Sen…sei…." I turned my gaze to the one speaking. And there he was lying gently on the soft bed. "E-ed?" I was hesitant to call him by this name. His gaze was gently and cheerful like Ed used to have, his eyes were still heavy and it seem like he is just forcing himself to open those eyes. He smiled gently when he realized that I was holding his hands.
"Sen…..sei…..I…..I w-will….be…f-fine….I…p-promise…" he reassured me with him forcing his mouth to speak. I felt my heart sank.
But, then, all of a sudden, the door burst open, and a person with a certain name called Alphonse came yelling "Nii-san…Nii-san" again and again. My gaze averted from him to Al. Al halted when he saw the view. I could cur that he felt like he had interrupted something important. I could tell, just by the way he suddenly stopped in his track.
I just smiled at him, reassuring his doubts. I gently let go of my grab and placed his hand gently on the mattress. When I looked at him, I saw that he had already gone back to his dreams. I smiled at him.
I could hear Al's footsteps getting nearer so I released my stare and looked at the approaching Al. He smiled at me. "I'm not really expecting you to visit him, teacher…." He said, with politeness of course. "Yes, I'm kinda surprised myself….." I replied and softly chuckled. I heard him doing the same too. "Oh well, I'm off to go…."
But before I left the two, Al stopped me by my hand.
Surprisingly, I felt that thing three times in a row…..
So, there was a strange connection between this three. Now, I'm certain. I looked at him, only to find him smiling at me. "I'm really thankful that you visited my Nii-san….maybe you can do it more often…" he said.
"Yes, maybe….." I replied as my hands slowly drifted away from his.
~ Normal Point of View ~
"So, I assumed that everyone is present here…" Izumi's voice broke the silence. "Not, really….Mei is gone….She said she's going to look for Greed….She left earlier this morning…" Winry said, more like a report. Izumi took a long heavy sighed, before starting her explanation.
"You see…..when I first touched your hand, Colonel Mustang….." she said and turned her gaze to Roy who was staring seriously at her in return, the same with Riza of course. "I felt a sudden shock of some kind of electricity emerging from that contact…" she added. "What kind of shock?" Al asked in a curious tone.
"Actually, it doesn't exactly a shock of electricity….But rather, an alchemy reaction….."
Everyone was taken aback. The room was again was filled with suspense and tension at the same time. "A-alchemy?" Al asked, still unsure if he had heard her correctly. "Yes, and if my calculations are correct, I think….it also got something to do with you…" she pointed to Al. "You…" now, she pointed at Roy. "And to Ed as well…" she added.
"I think…..this alchemy thing was the reason for the memories you had lost…"

Author's Note! Yay! Soorry for a short chapter! I just wanted to thanks all my story supported especially my otaku friend! And one more thing, I just wanted to say that this "touch thing" that Izumi experienced was inspired by the fanfic I read entitled "Abandoned by the World" of the author I forgot, Gomen ne! So basically in the story Ed was the one who realized the alchemy thing just by merely touching the hands of Winry; and so an idea came into my mind that Izumi can do this thing to, and maybe even better for SHE was Ed's teacher! Ne, just a little fact about the story.
Stay Tuned guys, for I had interesting plans for this story…(*Smiles evilly*)
