A/N: Hi, sorry I've been so busy I didn't have time to write at all! I promise I'll get more time soon! After Easter being 'soon' but any way...
A have a very important thing to say: Grace, I didn't mean it to sound like I was yelling! I'm so sorry for yelling at you! *hands you cookie* Are we good Grace?
Another thing to say is that I was busy making a dress for a cosplay! I was going to wear it to an anime prom in my area and I totally rocked it! My friend and I were the only group there and guess what, WE WON SECOND PLACE IN THE COSPLAY CONTEST! So yeah, that's what I've been doing besides getting school done, my teachers decided to give me a crud ton of homework and tests so I'll go study while you read this!
~Enjoy!
Winry sat in her 'office' (which was actually a table in her room covered with automail) and stared out of the window. She could see the golden fields of wheat spread for the half mile to the cemetery.
"WINRY! MAIL!" Tamaki shouted from the main floor.
"Coming!" Winry sighed and headed towards the staircase. Once at the bottom she saw all the hosts gathered around the table, faces filled with worry.
"What's wrong?" Winry asked, shoving her way into the group. On the table was a handwritten letter. She reached out her hand for it but was stopped by Tamaki.
"Don't read it." He said, his voice unnaturally dark, reminding her of something. Winry shot him a death glare but realized that he was serious, it was bad news.
A heavy atmosphere hung around the hosts and Winry, thick and deadly. It was as if you could almost reach out and grab it. Honey sat on the floor underneath the table, cuddling Usa-chan tenderly and rocking slowly. Mori and Kyoya stood towards the back of the room, their usual calm, unreadable faces shattered revealing looks of trouble. The twins stared at the letter, their fists on the table, ready to punch something. Al was shaking like a little chiwawa in the winter. Tamaki was the only one that was remotely calm and he was giving the letter the 'evil eye'.
"What's so bad about it?" Winry asked, looking confused. She grabbed the letter off the table and began reading it.
Host Club from Ouran,
You have been meddling with my plan. But I forgive you.
I am willing to make a deal with you if you would be willing to stop trying to find me.
I shall return your precious Haruhi in exchange for your silence and the Automail mechanic, Winry Rockbell.
That is all.
"Well, now what?" Winry asked, crushing the paper. She was boiling with rage, who would think that was a fair trade, it's not equal, not at all. She was ready to throw something, then an idea hit her, it was a crazy, stupid, barely a sliver of it actually working plan but it might be crazy enough. "Do it."
Everyone's head snapped up to stare at Winry. Was she that crazy? What was going through her head no one knew but Al took one look at her determined face and nodded. He understood that she had a crazy idea.
"Alright Winry." Al asked, standing up to look her in the eye. The hosts then turned to him, was he insane?
"What's wrong with you?!" Hikaru screamed. He stood up, sending his chair towards the ground with a loud bang. He stormed over to Alphonse and grabbed the front of his shirt. He raised his fist a foot away from Al's face and brought it down, smashing onto Al's face. Right at that moment Hikaru had let go of Al's shirt, the impact of the punch had sent Al to the floor, a crumbled heap. Hikaru began to scream again. "I thought she was your friend! Are you willing to give up what's left of your small family to get back someone you just met? I thought you cared about her!" He started for Al again but this time Al was ready. He clapped his hands and pressed them against the floor. From his hands brilliant blue lightning emanated and a large wooden wall came between himself and Hikaru.
"Don't be a coward! Take what's coming to you like a man!" Hikaru demanded, beating on the wall, trying to break it down.
"Just hear me OUT!" Winry hollered, drawing the attention to herself. Hikaru's fist stopped, mid swing and he turned his deadly gaze to Winry. "Thank you, I have a plan but you just have to trust me. And Alphonse, what's my rule?" She crossed her arms and stared at the large wall.
Al's muffled voice came from behind the wall. "No alchemy in the house unless it's helping with automail. Sorry." More lightning then the wall was gone. Al stood, walked around Hikaru and stood in front of Winry. "What's your plan?"
"Not going to tell you. So where do we go to meet this guy?" Winry asked Tamaki. Tamaki stood and handed her another piece of paper.
"I don't trust this guy." He warned her. He gave her a hard glare before he sighed. "But I do trust you. J-just be careful, okay?" He hung his head, he failed his duty to protect every girl that walked into his life, again. Tamaki's blonde hair hung close to his face, the morning light making it look like gold. Winry studied the host club king closely, something about him reminded her of someone she once loved, but who?
"Tamaki, will you go with me to this place?" She asked quietly. She couldn't ask Alphonse to go with her, he would just stop her from going at the last moment. Just like the rest of them. She knew she could trust Tamaki to let her go.
"Of course, just let me grab something." Tamaki answered back, his serious tone was all she needed to figure out who he reminded her of.
~Magical time skip! To the good stuff!~
Winry and Tamaki headed out, Winry wore her jump suit all the way up unlike her usual tied around the waist look. She carried her tool box on a strap across her back like she usually did. Tamaki had a small messenger bag slung across his shoulder. Winry had no idea what was in it but she knew that he thought it was important.
"Tamaki, has Al ever told you anything about his brother?" Winry asked once the house disappeared from view.
"Not much. Just that they were searching for a way to restore their bodies and finally did, and that he's dead." Tamaki answered in a confused voice. "Why?"
"You remind me of him in a way." Winry sighed and wiped a tear away. "I grew up with Al and Ed, they're practically family. I made Ed's automail when he came to get back on his feet. I've waited long nights for them to come back home, in one piece with their own bodies. When they did I was so happy I tackled them and then I took them into my house so they had some place to live. I can't imagine how different I would be without those two knuckleheads." Winry gave a sad laugh and wiped another tear away.
"Why are you telling me all of this?" Tamaki asked.
"Because the only man I've ever loved besides my own father was Ed. Now he's gone and even though I know he's not coming back I still wait for him, I promised that I would be here for him, as back-up."
"Well, that's so sweet. I don't know anyone who would do that, not even Haruhi waits for her dead mother to come home." Tamaki said with a small smile.
"Well, you'd be surprised how many people miss Ed. He may not have known it but he affected so many people. Rose, me, Al, Roy, Riza, and so many others, even his enemies. Why is it that when you're a good person bad things happen?" She asked.
"Well, I, I have no idea why that happens." Tamaki answered after a few moments of hesitation.
"Neither do I, but I plan to figure it out one day." Winry said, then she stopped. "We're here."
"Let's go, your plan better work." Tamaki placed a hand on the door and pushed it open, checking for any trip wires or traps before walking into the dimly lit factory."So, you actually decided to give me the girl? Very good Suoh! But I'm afraid I can't give you your precious peasant just yet. I need one more thing from you first." A grizzly voice said from the back of the room.
"WE HAD A DEAL!" Tamaki screamed at the dark figure.
"We never shook on it." The voice replied in a sing song voice. Winry placed a hand on Tamaki's arm.
"It's fine, just trust me." Winry whispered to him. She slowly walked toward the figure. He took out something silver and stabbed it into Winry's neck. Winry fell to the ground, her body limp.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!?" Tamaki demanded as he started to rush forward but was stopped by the man's voice.
"I wouldn't come closer, there are trip wires everywhere. The girl's fine anyway. She was just given something to make her unconscious for a few hours. Well, I'm off." With that a bright light filled the room and then the man was gone.
"Damn it." Tamaki swore he left the building and headed towards Winry's house.
~Haruhi P.O.V.~
I sat in a dark room, there was no one in here with me, just myself and the rats. The room was okay, there were two twin size beds against the wall, and it wasn't cold in the room either, in fact it was the exact opposite; hot and humid.
Even though there was food on the other side of the room I refused to eat it, no way I would give in to the girl that kidnapped me.
"Oh Haruhi! I brought you a friend, maybe she will be able to convince you to eat, or wack sense into you." The kidnapper's voice sounded through the door. A second later the door clicked open and revealed to blondes, my kidnapper and a new girl. She was tall with long blonde hair tied up in a pigtail and a green handkerchief tied around her head. She looked up and smiled at me.
The kidnapper threw her into the room then shut and locked the door. I rushed over to her and helped her to one of the beds. I sat in the other and looked at her. "Who're you?"
"Winry Rockbell. You must be Haruhi Fujioka!" She greeted sweetly.
