Resistance Is Futile

"Do you idiots know what you just did?" I shouted at the Colonel.

"We just locked them up in a cell, like we do with all the prisoners," he replied.

"They'll just run away again!"

"So? You just have to shoot them like you did to that girl." And that was the end of our discussion. I bit my lower lip and stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind us.

"And…?" Ed asked. I ignored what he said and continue walking.

"Kurai!" he shouted as he followed me.

"Damn that colonel! What does he think I am? A weapon? I can't just go off killing people like that!" I shouted as I banged my fist against the wall.

"You joined the military for a purpose right?" Ed asked me. I froze.

"You should have been able to face those consequences, right?" he asked again. I stayed silent.

"I bet you wouldn't be able to kill someone neither Ed," I said as I stormed off once again.

As I hanged my coat, I let myself fall onto my bed. The guards wouldn't let me enter the prison under the order of the Colonel… Someday… I'll get that dumb bastard…

Suddenly, someone knocked at my door.

"Who is it?" I said reaching out for my gun.

"It's me, Ed." He said. I stood up and opened the door. Ed looked at me.

"Look… I'm sorry for what I said back there… I didn't mean any harm…" he apologized. I laughed

"It's okay… I know you didn't mean it…" I said as I grabbed my coat and stepped out of my room.

"Wanna go get something to eat?" I asked him. His frown slowly turned into a smile.

"Sure!" he replied.

As we sat down in the busy cafeteria of Centrale I noticed something.

"Hey Ed…" I said as I nudged him.

"Um?" he replied with his mouth full.

"Okay 1. Swallow your food before talking! 2. Is it just me, or they are more state alchemists than usual?" I asked. Ed looks around.

"You're right… There are more than usual…" he replied.

"Allen! Don't eat so fast!" a voice shouted. I looked around and spotted Hikari along with her two brothers. I jumped out of my seat and rushed to join them. Ed quickly joined me.

"Okay! What the hell are you three doing here?" I asked them as Allen stuffed more food into his mouth.

"Hey Kurai!" Hikari said as she waved.

"Don't "Hey" me! I thought you guys were locked up in a cell!" I shouted.

"Well… the Colonel let us out!" Lavi said.

"Wait wait wait… Back up for a sec… The Colonel?" Ed asked. Allen nodded.

"Thought you guys would need some help on your research," a voice said behind us.

"Oh no…" Ed and I both said.

"Hey Colonel!" Hikari said. The Colonel smiled.

"What do you want now…?" I asked him. He grinned.

"It's pretty simple. They are going to help you with your research!" he replied. I choked on air.

"So… Let us introduce ourselves once again!" the Colonel said.

"The name is Lavi! Or some may call me Junior! I'm 19 years old!" Lavi said.

"I'm Allen Walker! I'm 16 years old! Pleasure to meet you!" Allen said with a smile.

"Edward Elric here, also known as the Full Metal Alchemist. 16 years old," Ed added for his part.

"And yet you look like you are a 12 year old," I said.

"WHO YOU CALLING SHORT!" he shouted.

"You of course!" Hikari replied.

"I AIN'T THAT SHORT!" Ed shouted.

"Fine… Moving on…" the Colonel interrupted.

"Hikari Kuroshi! I'm 15! Nice to meet you!" Hikari said with her usually cheerful tone.

"Kurai Kuroshi, also known as the Black Alchemist here. I'm 15." I replied.

"Wait, Kurai… Your last name is also Kuroshi…?" Lavi asked.

"Yes why?" I replied.

"Because Hikari has the same family name as you…" Allen added. There was suddenly a huge moment of silence between us.

"Let's go somewhere more… Suitable for this kind of talk…" the Colonel said as he leaded us outside.

"Okay let's get this settled," Lavi said once we were outside. The Colonel decided to ditch us for some dumb paperwork so I was left alone with them.

"Come to think about it, both of you have red eyes," Allen pointed out.

"I have red eyes, but she doesn't. Her eyes are brown," I replied.

"I wear contact lenses!" Hikari said as she took them off. Her true eye color was just as red as mine. Crimson red…

"That doesn't prove the fact that we are related!"I said.

"When are your birthdays?" Ed asked.

"March 20th," I replied.

"March 21st!" Hikari replied.

"Not only are you two related, but you guys are twins as well!" Lavi shouted.

"Wait, hold on a minute!" I said.

"What's wrong?" Allen asked.

"So what if she is born a day after me? So what if she has the eye color as me? So what if she has the same family name as me? That doesn't prove the fact that we are related! Let alone twins!" I explained.

"Well their hair color is different…" Allen pointed out.

"And they don't act the same at all!" Lavi added.

"And they aren't even of the same height!" Ed teased. I snapped.

"YA REALLY HAD TO ADD THE HEIGHT DIDN'T YOU?" I shouted. Allen laughed.

"Well… I do have this little strand of black hair…" Hikari pointed out.

"And I got this long blond thingy…" I added as I pushed the long blonde strand out of my face.

"Maybe you guys really are twins…" Lavi said.

"Okay! It doesn't matter right now! How come the Colonel asked you guys to help us?" I asked.

"Well it's more like a deal…" Lavi explained. But before he could add anything else, Allen covered his mouth.

"A deal?" Ed asked. Hikari glanced at her two brothers.

"Yeah a deal. We come with you guys on your search and obtain the information we need and in return, we give you the info you guys need," Allen explained.

"Great… We have stalkers on our tails now!" I said. Hikari laughed.

"So… What do you guys wanna know?"

Kurai: Hope you guys enjoyed it!

Hikari: Reviews would be much appreciated!
