Chapter 9?

Ed groaned as light hit his eyes. His body was aching all over and he felt a migraine coming. He sat up and brought his right hand to his face. He slowly opened his eyes to find himself in the same alley as he had blacked outed in, before being captured by that crazy man. When the thought of that man came into his mind he jumped to his feet and looked around franticly.

"Where the fuck did that man go? Was he even here? If he wasn't then why the hell do my body hurt so? Didn't he -" Ed silenced abruptly, not finishing the question. He felt his body's heat leave him, and shuddered. He wished that it all just had been a bad dream, but the ache of his body said another thing. "What did he do to me?" he then asked himself sadly. He looked at his hands, and blinked twice as he saw that his nails had turned into claws (A/N they're looking a bit like Inuyasha's). He then looked around the alley to find something that could reflect his reflection. He found some pieces of broken glass and an old pot. He slowly went towards them and looked into them.

As soon as he saw his own reflection he jumped. He couldn't believe his damn misfortune. There were always something that just had to mess it all up! And it always had to happen to him...

He stared into the broken pieces of glass, and back at him stared a modified feline version of himself. On top off his head there were two pair of large, fuzzy golden cat ears. He nearly jumped as he felt something caress his back slightly, and looked back to see a tail sprouting from his caudal vertebra.

"This can't be happening..." Ed sulked. Falling to his knees. His ears dropped to the sides and his tail laid limp on the filthy ground. His head were bent down and his bangs hid his eyes. After a loooong moment of silence, a chuckle could be heard, coming from the blond boy. If any one would have happened to walked by in that moment, they'd believe he was a loony, but fortunately for him it didn't.

"So this is what it has come to, huh? I never thought this would happen, but then again... How am I going to hide this from everyone? I won't be able to hide it from Al very long, the same goes for first lieutenant Hawkeye and Black Hayate of course. Then there's Colonel useless... aw man, I'm screwed" he muttered. He pulled his hood up, hiding those furred ears of his and wrapped his tail around his waist.

"I might just as well go to the HQ. I bet Al's told everyone that I went missing... for how long exactly? A day? Two?" he asked himself as he walked down the streets towards the HQ. There were a crack of lightning and suddenly the rain poured down, drenching Ed from top to toe. Ed hissed and he just wanted to take cover, but he resisted the instincts from the cat within him.

Finally Ed reached HQ and when he finally came under roof, he shook himself to get away most of the water. He felt the urge to start cleaning himself like a cat and stomped towards the part of the building where the Colonel's office were. His now better hearing could pick up shouting from that part when he came closer. As he came to the door to Mustang's office he saw Havoc, Breda, Falman and Fuery standing there with their ears placed on one of the doors. Ed sweatdropped and coughed softly, to gain their attention. All four of them jumped startled and turned their heads towards him.

"I'm sure the Colonel would fry you if he knew that you were eavesdropping on his conversation, and then Hawkeye would shoot you" he said with a knowing smirk, his golden eyes glinting.

"Boss! Y-you're back?!" Havoc exclaimed. Breda, Falman and Fuery just stared at him. Ed snorted and waved his hand nonchalantly.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAVEN'T FOUND HIM?!" a voice screamed from the other side of the door.

"Oh well, tell me, what's going on in there?" he asked with a raised eye brow. Havoc lit a new cigarette, since he had dropped his earlier one when Ed scared them.

"Well, when you went missing two days ago your brother, well, let's just say that he came here yesterday after something happened to him" Havoc said. "I think it's better if you look for yourself" he added, and opened the door without knocking. The room fell silent as Havoc entered. The Colonel looked very irritated for being disrupted, as Hawkeye, Al, Hughes and Armstrong just looked at him.

"Havoc, what is the meaning of this?" Mustang asked angered. Havoc shrugged.

"Well, I thought you'd like to know that we have a visitor" he said as Ed entered. All five of them stared at him in shock and Ed looked at Al in shock as well. Somehow Al had gotten his body back!

"Brother!" Al exclaimed as he ran over and hugged his brother. He still had the same short hair he had when he was younger, but his body had aged to hid true age and on top of it all; he was taller then Ed. Ed just let his brother hug him, since he was in a daze. Al looked at Ed worried when he didn't say anything. "Brother?"

"I-I'm okay, Al... just a l-little overwhelmed..." Ed replied shakily. "W-when? How?"

"I'm not really sure brother, it was after you disappeared though..." Al replied. Ed nodded absentminded. Could it be that AL had got his body back, when he himself became a chimera? Could it be that Truth thought that it was enough punishment for both of them when it happened?

"Well, it's nice to see that you're okay, shrimp? Could you be so kind and tell us where you've been?" Mustang asked.

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SMALL THAT NOT EVEN A BACTERIA WOULD SEE HIM?" Ed yelled.

"You did. Now could you please tell us where you've been the last two days?" he repeated. Ed snorted and crossed his arms over his chest.

"I don't know. Someone took me, abused me and then threw me out on a street. I can say this though it's the same man who made all those chimeras and let them out in that village up North" Ed replied. Hughes and Hawkeye looked at him with worry.

"Edward, do you know if he did something else except hurting you?" Hughes asked. Ed looked at him, debating weather or not to tell them.

"No, he didn't" he lied. Even if they believed him, the guilt and fear he felt was much worse then anything that could happen in the future...But he was wrong
