A/N : New chapter :D
First, please don't be mad if this chapter sucks. I wrote this chapter when I was out with my family because I don't have any other time to do it. I have to study for the exams.
And thank you for the suggestions, I've been thinking about doing it too, but with a little modification (if I manage to do it -,-) And thanks for the reviews, alerts and favs too. ;)
"Ed?"
Ed looked at Allen, a frown on his pale face. "Yes?"
Allen raised an eyebrow, a frown still on his face. "Now that we've arrived at out room, why don't you tell me what have happened to both of you." he gestured toward Al and Ed.
"Uhh.." Ed didn't know what to say. What can he say to someone you haven't met in ten years about your past? Especially a past like Ed's and Al's.
"So you won't tell me? Why? I want to know what have happened to both of you.. And how about Winry? Grandma Pinako? And Trisha?" Allen asked.
Ed and Al flinched a bit when they heard their mom's name from Allen's mouth.
"Listen, it's not like we don't want to tell you.. It's just... it's a really long story, and.." Ed said.
Just then, there's a knock. "Ed? Al? Are you there?" a girl's voice come from behind the door.
"Winry!" Ed said. From the corner of his eyes he saw Allen's eyes widened a bit.
"You're there? I'm coming in." said Winry.
"Wa.. Wait.." Ed started, but too late. Winry had opened the door and came in. When she came in, she saw the 3 strangers with black and red uniform sitting on the couch across Ed and Al. Winry scanned the three strangers. "Winry?" an unfamiliar voice called out. Winry turn toward the voice and her eyes fall on a white haired boy.
The white haired boy seems pretty familiar for Winry. He has a scar running through his left eyes and eyes so off blue it's gray... or silver. Silver... silver eyes? Where did she had seen that eyes before? "Winry?" the voice called again. "You're.. Winry right?"
"Ehh? How did you know my name?" Winry asked, confused.
"Don't you remember me? It's Allen." the white haired boy said, his silver eyes wide.
"Al...len?" Where had she heard that name? It's like she had heard that name a long time ago. A boy with reddish brown hair and silver eyes flashed through her mind. "No.. way... It can't be. Allen? You're.. Allen?"
"Yes! It's me. It has been so long, Winry." Allen said with a big smile on his face.
Winry took a step forward and stretch her arm forward but didn't touch Allen. "No way.. I.. I mean.. Allen? Seriously? It's not just my imagination right?"
Allen shook his head, smiling. "Of course not."
Winry punched Allen in the stomach. Hard.
"Oooff!" Allen doubled in pain. Ed and Al flinched. Kanda cough, trying to hide his smirk. Lavi rubbed his own stomach remembering the punches Allen had give him for calling him beansprout.
Allen glanced up at Winry. Her fist clenched and her eyes hidden by her bangs. He panicked and about to open her mouth when Winry captured him in a hug. Allen's eyes widened a bit and he blush. Behind him, Lavi whistled. The white haired boy tried his best not to beat the day out of the stupid rabbit. Ed watched with wide eyes, jaw hang open in surprise. Beside him, Al's expression must be the same if he had his body right now.
"You..." Winry held Allen in arm length. "Where have you been all this time? We've been trying to find you. Ed and Al said you were taken by some strangers. I... We were really worried! What happened to you? Why did your hair become white? How did you get that scar?" she shook Allen with every sentences.
"Wi... Winry... Winry!" Winry stopped. She let go of Allen. "You better explain everything to me." Then she turned toward the Elric brothers. "And both of you better explain everything too."
Ed sighed. "Well then, take a seat first."
Winry took a seat beside Al. A frown on her face. "Now, explain." she demanded.
"Well, where to start.." "Wait!" Winry cut him off. "Sorry, but there's something I need to know first." she turned toward Lavi and Kanda who sat across her.
"I believe I haven't know you name yet." she said. "Nice to meet you, I'm Winry Rockbell."
"Ohhh.. Yeah, that's right." Lavi said with a grin, scratching the back of his head.
"I'm Lavi. And don't ask my last name cause I don't have one." Winry raised an eyebrow at that but she let it pass. "And the one with the girly hair is Yuu Kanda."
"Who're calling girly hair you rabbit!" Kanda snapped. Beside him Allen tried to conceal his laughter and fail miserably. His shoulder shake with laughter. Kanda glare at him. "You brat." he growled. "What are you laughing at, beansprout."
Allen stopped laughing and glare at Kanda. A smile crept up his face. "It's Allen. Please stop referring as such thing."
"Che. Stop smiling you brat. I swear I'm gonna die just looking at you creepy smile everyday." Kanda countered.
Allen's eyebrow twitched. His ever present smile still on his face. "That's it. I'm gonna kill you someday, I swear."
"Uhh... Guys? Yuu-chan, beansprout back to earth?" Lavi said, getting worried. He was sure didn't want to die now. He still have many things he haven't done, like becoming the bookman. If that's not possible, he didn't want to die single. At least, he need to get them off each other throat.
Wrong move.
Both Allen and Kanda turned toward him and glare. If looks could kill, he would have become a dead rabbit long time ago. "Shut the (hell/fuck) up you stupid rabbit or we're gonna kill you too."
Lavi gulped. He raised his hands in sign of defeat. Even though he is quiet brave, he wouldn't want to be againts them. He wants to live longer, thank you very much.
Ed. Al and Winry who have been quite while they argue with amusement. After some time of glaring contest between Allen and Kanda, Al have had it. He coughed, grabbing everyone attention to him.
"Allen, I would really appreciate it if you stop your contest right now. We've got a lot to explain." he said.
Allen looked embarrassed for a while and he nodded. Breaking eye contact with Kanda who scowl at Al. "Right.. So, where do we start?"
"Ahh.. First I want to know who are they, why are they here." Winry gestured toward the exorcists.
Ed blinked. "Oh, yeah. You didn't know, huh?"
"Let me handle this." Lavi said with a grin. Ed looked at him for a while and nodded. He didn't really trusted them yet. Not even Allen, even though they have know each other long time ago. People change and he didn't want to take any risk.
"Well then, Ms. Rockbell." Lavi started. "It's alright, call me Winry." said Winry. Lavi's grin widened. "Right, Winry. As for your previous question. Did you know about the strange creatures that have been killing around in your country?"
Winry blinked. "Umm, yes? You mean those strange creatures that have been around lately?"
Lavi snapped his fingers. "Yes, that's right. And for your information, those creatures are called akuma. They're made by our main enemy, the Millennium Earl."
"The Millennium Earl?" asked Ed. He haven't heard that name before.
"Yes, he made akuma to kill humans. And we, exorcists came here to destroy them as your Furher had request." Lavi said.
"Exorcists? You mean, like those old men that ran around yelling 'be gone evil spirits!'?" Winry asked.
"How funny.. Brother said the same thing before too." Al said.
"No I'm not!" Ed protested.
"Yes you are, brother." Al pointed out.
Allen laughed. "Yeah.. Many people say that too."
Ed and Winry blushed. Lavi and Allen laughed. "So.. Yeah, now we're here to make sure no more people die." Lavi said, grinning at Ed and Winry.
"And I'm the one who's in charge of them. I will be traveling with them around Amestris." Ed said, already recovered from his embarrassed moment.
Allen brighten up. "Really? That's great! It's good to have someone that I know to escort us." Allen smiled brightly.
"That's right!" Lavi blurted out. Everyone look at him oddly. "You haven't told us how you know each other." Lavi said. "I, the I-am-so-sexy-and-I-know-it command you to told me."
Allen rolled his eyes so hard it's almost hurt. "Yeah right." he muttered. Beside him, Kanda tried hard to keep a straight face and not to laugh.
Lavi pouted, but failed miserably. Allen raised his eyebrow, his lips twitching up, trying hard not to laugh.
"Fine!" Lavi throw his hands in the air. "Lavi huffed, and Allen grinned widely.
"Well then, about your question. I have met them before I met Mana. I lived with Ed and Al for a while. But, after some... incident, I was forced to get separated from them."
"Incident? What incident?" Lavi asked, getting interested.
"One day, some men in black just grabbed me and take me away from them. Saying I was a demon child." Allen said, smiling sadly.
"Ohh.." was Lavi's intelligent answer.
Then Ed realized something. "That's right, where did they took you? What did they do to you? Are you alright?"
Allen smiled at Ed and shook his head. "I manage to get away from them after some time. It's alright, you don't have to be worried. See, I'm fine now. Nothing to worry about."
"But, if only we tried harder. You wouldn't get caught by them." Ed protested.
Allen grabbed Ed's right hand. "I'm alright now, no harm done. And, I want to know what had happened to both of you too." he looked at Al. "Al.. Are you really Al?"
Ed, Al and Winry looked shocked for a moment. Al recovered from his shock and answered. "Of course. Who do you think am I?"
Allen shook his head. "It's not that.. I just feel something different from you. You.. That armor is empty right?" At this, Lavi and Kanda glanced at Al. They have know that souls are bounded to akuma but they never see any souls bounded to some object.
Al gasped, shocked. "How do you know?"
Allen touched his scar. "I.. Since I was twelve, I have been able to sense souls. Yours is bound to the armor. What happened?"
Ed have recovered from his shock. "It's.. a really long story. Can we continue this in another time. It's getting late already."
Allen nodded and stood up. Lavi and Kanda stood up too and walk toward the door. When Lavi and Kanda had gone out and go to their room, Allen stop and turn toward Ed once more. "I don't know what had happened, but I will be really happy if you tell me what had happened. When you're ready."
Ed looked at Allen. "And I really want to know what happened to you too Allen. Time has passed so long, people change. I don't even know if I can trust you anymore."
Allen smiled and close the door, walking toward his room. Ed watched the door for a while and let out a heavy sigh. He slumped into the couch, covering his eyes with his automail hand. Al and Winry looked at him. "You should rest brother. You must be really tired. Many things happened today. You too Winry."
Winry nodded and headed toward her room. Ed grunted and prepare to go to sleep too. "Good night, Al."
Al nodded, though his brother can't see it. Ed walked toward his room and close the door. Al sat at the couch, his body still. "Good night." he whispered.
A/N : TBC..
I have tried to make it longer, but I just can't do it. It's really hard for me to write long chapter. :'(
