"DEAR BROTHERS LET ME HELP YOU TRAIN!" Armstrong ripped his shirt off and I saw Ed and Al pale. I started laughing my ass off as they ran away. After they were done sparring we all headed inside for dinner and got to bed. I closed my eyes and fell asleep, with no nightmares to come.
I woke up and saw that the sun was just coming up. I looked to my left to see and hear Winry snoring. I cautiously got out of bed to wake the others up. I slid up to the boys' room and stopped preparing to knock when I felt something fluffy walk across my legs. I looked down to find the kitten Al had took. The kitten looked up at me and purred. D'AWE! Then an evil idea came to mind. I picked the kitten up and instead of knocking I went right in.
"What are you doing?" I jumped. I looked into the right corner to find Al tilting his head. I grinned. I put my finger to my lips and made a 'Sh' noise and tip-toed quietly over to Ed's bed. I smiled evilly and Al was chuckling. I placed the kitten on top of Ed carefully and ran to the corner Al was in. "He's gonna be mad ya know." I shrugged. Al and I watched as the kitten just sat on him. I huffed.
"Do something already!" I encouraged the kitten. It looked over at me and then at Ed then to Al and then to Ed again. It got up and walked over to Ed's face. I giggled. I saw the kitten lick Ed's nose and he scrunched his face. It licked his cheek and then his forehead and back on his nose. I saw Ed opening his eyes slowly.
"What in the..." Then his eyes snapped open and he jumped off the bed causing the kitten to use its claws to stick to him. "OUCH!" he yelled and took the kitten off of him. I saw him looking around the room and I hid under the bed that was supposed to be Al's. I saw him walk over to Al. "What is this?"
"A kitten" Al answered casually which angered Ed.
"Well no shit I meant what was it doing on my bed!" Al shrugged. Ed fumed. I crawled out from under the bed as the floor creaked. I saw Ed freeze. "Did you hear that?" he asked Al. Al shook his head. He came over to the spot where the floor creaked and I went around to crawl out of the other side. I sneakily got behind him and breathed on his neck. He spun around and I stayed behind him. I could practically feel Al smiling. "What was that?" Ed asked Al fearfully.
"What was what, Brother?" Al asked 'innocently'. Ed shook his head and turned around and I made my eyes wide and put on an evil grin and yelled...
"Boo!" Ed literally screamed and dropped the kitten on my foot which caused the kitten to claw in my foot. "Ow!" I yelled. Al was laughing which caused me to forget the pain and start laughing at him too. Ed shot a glare at both of us. I pointed at him still laughing "You shoulda seen your face! Ahaha oh my haha god." I wiped a tear and saw Ed fuming.
"Why did you do that!" he yelled at me. I started laughing again which caused Ed to get even more angry.
"Whats all this noise about?" Granny walked in. She saw me and Al laughing and Ed was fuming. She blinked. "What happened?" I clutched my side.
"You shoulda seen it! Ed's face was priceless! He screamed-" Ed then shoved his hand over my mouth.
"It was nothing!" he yelled at her. She looked at him with a confused expression. I smirked and licked his hand which caused him to pull his hand away. "What the fuck? Did you just lick my hand!" I grinned. "That's nasty!" Ed wiped his hand on his pants. "Why did you lick me?"
"You covered my mouth and I didn't want your hand over my mouth so I made you pull away."
"Well you didn't have to lick my hand!" Ed yelled and suddenly Armstrong came bursting in the room with...were those sparkles? Yeah those were definitely sparkles.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF ALL THIS YELLING!" everyone sweat-dropped. He looked over at the clock that read around 7:45am. His eyes widened considerably. "ALL OF YOU GET READY WE MUST LEAVE AT 8 FOR OUR TRAIN ARRIVES AT 8:30!" I shuffled out of their room and went up to Winry's room. She was sitting on the edge of her bed rubbing her eyes.
"What was all that noise about?" I smiled widely. She frowned.
"Oh you shoulda been there!" I walked over and sat down beside her and told her the story about what happened and she was in tears. She laughed for about 10 minutes straight. Then she stopped and looked at me, which caused us to bother start laughing again. I sighed. "Well I gotta get ready" I got up and took a jean miniskirt and a red tank top that had a Flamel on the back. Winry stared at it.
"Wow that looks kinda like Ed's coat." She pointed to the tank top.
"Huh well what do ya know I guess it does." I put the clothes on as well as some black platform boots and headed downstairs. Al looked at me. "Yeah yeah I know it looks like Ed's coat I've already been informed of that. By the way what do you plan on doing with the kitten because I know Den might hurt her."
"Oh...Uh...I..." Al stuttered. He hasn't found a kitten-sitter. I smiled.
"We could try Mel although she doesn't like them as much as dogs."
"Mel?" Al questioned. Oh yeah that's right Al wasn't there was he?
"Yeah that's where everyone was yesterday. Ed and I opened a chest and found her body. And then when I opened up the locket something white zoomed out of it and directly into her body and poof, shes alive."
"Well do you think she'll like her?" I nodded.
"We used to have three dogs and one time Mel had a black kitten and-yeah I just think she'll like her." Al nodded his head.
"Okay but I still want to keep her!" I nodded my head.
"Of course Al...wheres Ed?" Ed peeped his head out of the kitchen with a doughnut (believe it or not that's how its spelled) in his mouth. I blinked. Twice. That's when laughter ensued. He pulled this doughnut out of his mouth and blushed, embarrassed. He ate his doughnut and came out with his suitcase packed and ready to go. I grabbed the kitten and we all walked down to the station. "I'll be right back" I held up the kitten to signal what I was doing. I ran to our house with the kitten squirming like crazy and I knocked on the door. No answer. Was she sleeping? I pulled out the kamas key and surprisingly it worked. I walked in and heard flesh on cloth. I walked in the basement to have a hammer just about hit me in the head and I ducked. Mel was punching a punching bag and there were all sorts of traps around here. I cleared my throat to get her attention.
"Oh hey Kai what's up?" I smiled and held up the kitten. She pointed at it.
"Whats that."
"A kitten." she rolled her eyes.
"I know but why is it here?"
"It needs a kitten-sitter."
"Lemme guess. It's me?" I nodded my head. She narrowed her eyes at it. "It reminds me of a zebra." I laughed. And walked down just to have another hammer thrown at me. She sweat-dropped. "Yeah its probably not too safe to come down here. Here lemme come over." she came over and picked up the kitten and pet it. It purred. "D'AWE!" I smiled. She looked up at me curiously. "What time does your train leave?"
"8:30"
"Its 8:20 you might wanna run" I widened my eyes.
"Shit! Well I'll talk to you later Mel!" I yelled as I ran out the door. I ran down the path and ran into the train and bumped into someone. "Ouch...oh I'm sorry I didn't mean-Ed?"
"Oh there you are...better late then never I guess." I nodded my head and we sat down to where Al was at. We both yawned and Ed laid against the window. I waited for him to sleep and then laid down on him like last time and closed my eyes to sleep.
CHOOOOO!
I sat up with a jolt and Al chuckled.
"They should seriously make these things more quiet." Ed soon awakened and we all grabbed our luggage and headed off the train.
"Off to the library!" Ed said as he ran away. We all followed. And heard yelling. "NO DR. MARCOHS RESEARCH ITS ALL GONE!" Al, Armstrong and I came across a burned library. Dang. That must suck. Ed walked over to a burned book and tried to pick it up. "Its all burned up isn't it..." I nodded.
"Major Armstrong Sir!" We turned around to find two military officers saluting Armstrong.
"Ah, well if it isn't 2nd Lieutenant Ross and Sergeant Brosh?"
"We will be taking over the escort mission of Edward Elric." Said the blonde haired guy with green eyes. Armstrong looked at them confusingly.
"You've been called to Central Command Sir." The woman with short black hair said. Armstrong nodded.
"What the hell is this? I thought we'd be free once we got here and now we've gotten another escort! This is ridiculous." I saw the slight tug of the woman's mouth slowly go down as if she wanted to frown but wouldn't. Stupid military wont let these people show their emotions. The blonde guy known as Brosh looked at me.
"Might I ask who this is?" he gestured towards me.
"A friend." I answered for them.
"Oh...well lets get moving now." Brosh said as he gestured towards a military vehicle. The only question was, was I allowed to get in? I frowned and the escorts started escorting them to the car. I didn't move. Am I allowed? This is for military personnel. That's when I didn't get the choice and Ed grabbed my wrist and pulled me along with the others. I sat beside Ed who sat beside. Al.
"They say that there's an employee who was working at the 1st branch before she got fired and she may have info on the books." Ed nodded. I'm guessing we were heading there now. It was quiet most of the way until Al noticed that Brosh was staring at him.
"Something wrong?" Al asked innocently.
"Oh its nothing, although you don't mind me asking, why are you wearing a suit of armor?" I saw Ed and Al start sweating furiously. They looked at each other and back at him.
"Its a hobby!" They both said at the same time. I giggled. Nice excuse nimrods. That's so not recognizable. However the officers seemed to take it and started whispering to each other. I glared at them. They were probably saying how weird that was and they had no-I felt someone tap my shoulder and saw Ed shaking his head. I rolled my eyes. We all stopped at a house. Ed rang the doorbell. No answer. Ed knocked. No answer. Ed opened the door.
"Ed you can't just waltz in to someones house!" Al scorned, "what if they're just not home."
"No someones here, the lights are on." Al looked at me for support and I just shrugged. We walked in and there were books everywhere! It was so hard to walk through. Did someone actually live in here?
"Somebody help!" what was that.
"Hey guys did you hear that?" they shook their heads.
"Over here!" I said and they followed me. We walked and saw a pile of books and a hand sticking out.
"Will someone please help me? Is anyone there?" All our eyes widened and we started pulling books out from the stack as a huge stack fell on us. We kept digging and eventually pulled out a girl with brown hair and eyes with glasses. "Oh thank you so much! Someone always said I would die with my nose in a book but I didn't actually believe it would happen!" We all sweat-dropped.
"Yeah um hey we heard you used to work in the library?"
"Ooh!" the girl said sharply and hug herself shocking Ed and Ross. I giggled. "Oh the library! The word itself is so beautiful! I've loved reading ever since I was a little girl! That job was heaven!" and she somehow started floating in the air with wings. Ed and Al were looking up at her with poker faces. "but then I forgot that I was supposed to be working and all I ever did was read so then they fired me! If I never be able to find a job I wont be able to move my poor elderly mother into a new hospital!" Al sweat-dropped. "I'll never be able to find a job! IM USELESS GOOD FOR NOTHING MORE WORSE THAN-" She started freaking out and Ed rose a hand.
"Hey Sheska we wanted to aske you something."
"Yes?" she stopped her rant.
"We wondering if you ever read any notes that were by a Tim Marcoh?"
"Hm Tim Marcoh where have I heard that name?" she wondered aloud. "Oh yes!" she clapped her hands "There was a book shoved with some handwritten notes that were stuck in a section they didn't belong." Ed smiled.
"So they really were there." then he frowned. "which means they were burned up along with the rest of the library." he started walking away.
"Did you want to read them is that what your asking?"
"Yeah but they're gone now..." Ed said in a depressing voice.
"Sorry for wasting your time." Al apologized.
"I remember everything that was in them." the boys froze. "Its just how I am I can remember every word I ever read in a book I can write them down if you want" Ed and Al were doing happy dances and Ed grabbed Sheska's hands.
"Oh thank you bookworm!"
"Bookworm?" the girl asked lowly. Poor girl. That truly is amazing though to remember every word you've ever read. I wish I could do that. That way I don't have to read something over and over again. Even though I don't really read that much...We left Sheska's house as she said she would write everything down and it would be ready in a few days. We checked into a hotel and I plopped down on the bed.
Finally we may actually have a clue as to what we're doing. I hope we find what we're looking for. Maybe the brothers will get their bodies back sooner than I thought. I hope they do. They've been through so much. I wonder what a Philosopher Stone is made of. Oh well I guess we'll find out in a few days! Time to get some rest! Although it is kinda creepy of Ed's escorts to be in the next room.
"Night Ed." I said tiredly. He smiled.
"Goodnight Kai." and with that we peacefully slept not being prepared for what came our way next.
I AM FLAT OUT TIRED. I wish I could actually sleep for a good night. But I always write the story because I'm interested...in my own story...wow. Well thank you Ed' .Kitten, CeilPhantomhive255, and velli9 for reviewing. I should go make myself some coffee...ttyl guys! :D
