"Ok, Ed be careful of the step there."
Ed scowled miserably at him.
"Stop treating me like that."
He sighed, with tears staining the boy's face and shaking like a scared animal he still had so much pride.
"You can take the cloak off now we're in my office."
Ed huffed and turned away from him holding the cloak closely but allowed the hood to drop and put his feet on the coffee table.
"No, your feet are covered in mud, get them off my table."
Ed's ears went down looking embarrassed, then he switched his feet to the couch.
"Sorry."
"You have terrible mood swings…"
Roy groaned and looked away from the angry tears gathering.
"Don't you have shoes?"
"Shoes get in the way…"
He took a look and noticed the claw like toes, short blond fur on top and pink pads turning brown from dirt.
"How did you hide those?"
"I'd tie them up, and long dresses and the cloak reaches the ground too. I'm just in my pajamas right now so they're obvious unless I cover up with my cloak…"
"Ah."

Edward looked at him suspiciously. "why are you being so nice to me?"

Roy sighed once again. "Why wouldn't I?"

"I lied to you. I disguised myself as a girl and hid from you. I hid from Al."

Ed held his knees close, clawed toes peeking under soft pants. Roy observed the teen.

"I've never seen you this open about your emotions."

"Yea well, I'm not Ed am I? I'm Kit."

Roy raised an eyebrow and Ed's glare intensified.

"There's more than a human soul to this body. Three souls and they're all dominant, just because only one can communicate doesn't mean the others don't hold importance. Personality is a part of the soul, I have three souls here now as one. I'm not Edward elric, though I look like him and I've lived his life, I remember his life. But I remember Yellowpad's, and Shiki's just as well. So the name I go by, is Kit. Since being combined means that though I'm all of them, I'm no longer just one of them."

"Edward.."

"I just told you it's Kit."

Roy sighed then got an ideaa.

"Tell me about Yellowpaw and Cheeky then, since I don't know them but they may as well be talking to me just as much as Edward Elric."

"YellowPAD and SHIKI. I guess I can tell you..."

Roy smiled encouragely, happy to see the always closed off boy suddenly open.

"I got the name Yellowpad from my sister, Singingbird, we we're stray cats and our mother died shortly after we were a month old. We roamed around by ourselves, she was my protector of sorts, being more aggressive than me. she always said I was too timid for a boy. I loved the water, it disgusted
Singingbird. She told me all the time I'm not much of a stray cat, that I'd probably be better off living with humans. That I was weak and soft,
that I was boring her with how she had to constintaly watch over me. She was a great protector, maybe not that great a sister. I wonder what
happened to her.
I never really liked humans, I didn't find anything wrong with them, unlike my sister, they were just frightening to me. But if I was hungry enough I'd go up to them for food, my sister did too besides her pride. Sometimes that's what it takes to survive. I guess I was right to think of humans as frightening however, because one minute I was eating scraps from a bowl, the next I was in a cage, on my way to the labs. It only took a couple days to be gathered with Shiki and the unconscious Edward. It was such a terrible experience, getting combined. I felt like I was drowning, I was going to disappear completely, Edward and Shiki were stronger willed than me. But after Edward became Lucid, he realized what was happening. We were all in pain, and he directed it so it wouldn't be as painful anymore, not for him, but for us. He made it so we were all fused evenly, and not experience the constant pain of normal chimeras. Normal chimeras experience pain because they bodies reject two souls. He made us one soul. And that is what saved us. Shiki and Ed may be much stronger than me, but they're kind souls. And I'm grateful they didn't just push me out of existence. Ok, it's Shiki's turn."

Roy nodded, finding it odd that he could count that as hearing a cat speak through a human appearing body.

"Ferrets aren't seen much right? That's cause we're sneaky, I'm hella sneaky. Stealth is my right. I'm not reallty sure what to tell you about myself. Yea I'm pretty interesting, your right. I'll just tell you the best and you can baskt in amazement. I like shiny things, no really I do. I didn't know the names of the things I like till Ed came around though. I really like watches and chains, glass shards, coins, and other metallic things. Too bad Ed's arm is gone, I would've loved it."
Shiki pouted at the flesh arm. "Anyway, I liked to snag anything I liked and take it back to my owner. Can't remember his name, kind of ignored everything he said. He didn't much like when I brought him glass shards, he wasn't impressed with coins but kept them, but he really liked watches and chains and would give me a special treat and wouldn't kick me for a few I kept the coins and shards and gave him watches and shards, if I didn't know weither he'd like it or not I'd also keep it. I miss my collection, I'll have to find it someday. Anyway, my owner pissed off some officers and I was taken away, went to the lab, was assigned some friends, now here we are in one body!" Ed grinned childishly, the Shiki character obviously having that kind of attitude.
Then he visibly went back to Kit's moping form.

"There, you met Yellowpad and Shiki, don't expect me to seperate my soul like that again, it's not fair to the other two and painful. I'm most content fully fused."

Mustang smiled at Kit gently.

"I understand now why you were acting so different, you're still Ed to me, that's who I know within you, however it's obvious there's others there too with your

foreign behaviour. Welcome to my family Kit, I'd never admit the family part to Edward, but I think you might appreaciate it."

Kit stared at him wide-eyed. Tears slipped the teens eyes.

"Family?"

"I took care of your brother these two years Kit, it's time I take care of you."

He cursed when there was a knock on the door because it sent Kit hiding. Walking to the door, mustang opened and saw his crew had arrived, His family. Though now only he and Kit know that's what he views them as.

"Nice of you all to come to my office, A little sooner then I would've liked but I would like you all to meet someone."

From behind his hiding place, Kit saw mustang greet everyone. Al seemed extra nervous for some reason.

"Sir something happened to Kitty."

"Something happened to Wolf, Kitty is fine, as I mentioned before I have someone for you all to meet."

Kit pulled up his hood and hid further into the dark space he squeezed into.

"Come on out."

Everyone looked at him inquiringly but he stood strong.

Just when they were about to ask him what was going on he asked again and a small voice piped up.

"No."

The group froze and mustang went searching for the small voice.

"Sir, who is it you are greeting us to?"

"A young chimera I met not long ago, he's a human chimera but he's pretty harmless."

A loud hiss echo'd and a clawed hand swiped mustang's leg from it's hiding place.

"Sir, is it really safe to have a human chimera here?

"Hawkeye, he really is harmless to us, trust me, you'll want to meet him. Mustang looked down and grabbed Kit under the arms and pulled him out from under the bookcase.

Loud hissing erupted the small figure and he tried wiggling out of mustang's grasp.

They were staring at him.

"Kitty?"

Kit pouted and pushed Mustang's head away while still traped.

"This isn't fun, let me go."

"Everyone," He dropped Kit onto the couch, making the hood of the cloak fall off. "Meet Kit, previously known to you has Kitty. He's a human chimera, as it turns out the human part of our dear Kit, was Edward Elric. We can now conclude what happened to him."

I'm actually enjoying starting this back up.
