AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Hey guys, so this is my THIRD fanfiction, though so far none are of the same anime/manga. .

DISCLAIMER:

I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist...

Which like with Inuyasha is a sad thing indeed.

Chapter 1: Transmutation

I heard footsteps on the cobblestone in the alley behind me, though when I turned to look there was no one there. Mustang had sent me on an assignment to find out who was multilating bodies we have been fining in trash heaps for weeks. Each one more grotesk than the last, some had missing limbs but no scars, or looked to have been severely deformed. There was never any blood at any of the scenes or any visible cause of death for there were no wounds or bruises either.

The sound of feet echoed again, closer this time, and when I went to turn around I felt a sharp pinch on my neck and an odd smelling rag placed against my nose and mouth. Everything went blurry before there was nothing to see.

I woke up feeling like I had been drinking far more than I should have. The bright lights above me did nothing for the pounding inside my skull, so I tried to cover my eyes with my hand to find I couldn't move it. I couldn't move anything, I didn't feel anything holding me in place, come to think of it I couldn't feel much of anything besides the monster headache.

I could hear the sound of someone shuffling about in the space around me. I couldn't move my head to look around or see much of anything besides the lights until a face appeared, blocking the brightness.

My blood ran cold.

Shou Tucker. He was supposed to be dead twice now. My mind raced as it pieced together the deformed bodies and missing parts. He was trying to make more chimera. He had to be, it was the only thing that made sense. It looked like he succeeded in transmuting himeself since he was no longer attached to whatever the hairy brown thing was.

"Ah you've awoken I see." He whispered as something wrapped around my left wrist followed by my left ankle as he moved out of my sight. "Can't have you trying to get away now." I heard as I felt something on my right ankle as well. "The serum will be wearing off soon now that you are awake." I began to feel a tingle in my toes as though they were just fell asleep and blood was rushing to them. He appeared on my right side and I tried to move my head to see what he was doing better only to have my head flop to the side. I watched as he secured my right arm to a smooth metal surface. My arm was outstreched and I could only assume that my other one was as well since I couldn't feel it yet.

My eyes grew wide as I noticed that my shirt was missing.

"I had a hard time getting to you." He shuffled into the darkness surrounding the surface I was on. "I had to wait so long. And I had to figure out how to make it so you couldn't fight back, but that was before I realized you no longer had your automail." He shuffled back into view wearing what looked to be a smock of some sort that had many bulging pokets. "Or your alchemy." I didn't know how he knew that but only three people knew that I couldn't do alchemy anymore. And none of them would ever tell a soul.

Feeling began to creep it's way up my legs only to confirm that I didn't have pants on either. But I could now wiggle my toes, it seemed that when feeling returned so did my ability to move.

I was completely naked.

Strapped to only what I could assume was a metal platform.

With a madman.

Something beyond the edge of my fingers caought my attention. There was a solid line etched into the metal that extended beyond my sight, down towards my legs.

Shou grinned as he watched my eyes follow the etching. "That took ages to complete and get perfect. I had so many mistakes before I got it right. When I did though I made sure to make it a permanent fixture." He ran his fingers along the surface of the metal just on the other side of the marking. "It's the most beautiful circle I've ever created." His eyes grew wide and even more crazy as he looked at his work.

I was laying naked in the middle of a god-damn transmutation circle. My blood ran cold as feeling returned to the rest of my body and I tried to get free from the bindings only to fail.

"What do you want?" I growled at him when he stood near my head again.

"Why the perfect human female specimen." He looked confused as though I should have known this already. "I wish to create the perfect woman."

"That doesn't make any sense! I'm a male damnit!" I shouted at him.

"I am well aware of what you are Edward Elric, which makes you the perfect choice for this. Your height, weight, small frame, and complextion make you perfect. I just need to alter a few things." He began setting things inside the circle with me which I assumed were coming out of his pockets. They looked like the ingredents for creating a human but in lesser quantities. "This will take a few different sessions as I like to call them, perhaps four or more. No one has survived any more than two, though my last subject held so much promise. He showed me where I was going wrong. He survived the third for a few moments before parishing." He moved to my other side and began placing more items on the metal surface. He then began drawing or writing on the other side of the circle in what looked to be blood.

"They're going to find me Tucker!" I continued to try and break the straps attached to the table.

He paused in his motions before ginning evilly at me. "I'm counting on it Edward Elric." He returned to his work. "Though that won't be for some time though." He began making his way down towards my feet and I lifted my head to keep him in my sights as best I could. "I wouldn't waste my energy were I you. Those leather bindings are alchemized with steel fibers. You cannot break them." I left my head settle back onto the metal benieth me as I tried to calm myself down.

Panic was a hard thing to fight when you are strapped down naked with a madman getting ready to use alchemy on you. I closed my eyes as my body began to shake, I tried to tell myself it was from the cold but I was lying. I was scared. For the first time in five years since I fought so hard to get Al's body back, I was terrified.

I hadn't told anyone where I was that night, or what I was doing. I didn't know how long it would take anyone to notice I was gone since I usually kept to myself now that Al and Winry got married and started having kids. I avoided Mustang until I had no choice but to see him. I didn't go anywhere with anyone or tell anyone anything. I could only hope that since it had been a couple of weeks since Mustang assigned me the case that he would be asking for progress soon.

My shaking only grew worse as the time slowly crept forward. I looked up at the lights above me as I tried to think of a way out of this.

"Finally." Shou's voice drifted from above my head. I continued to look at the lights as he continued. "I can't tell you this isn't going to hurt cause then I'd be lying. I hope you're ready." I could hear the smile in his voice and his eagerness to get on with his project. Me.

Bright yellow light filled my vision as he activated the transmutaion circle I was in. At first I thought maybe he had failed, until pain began ripping through every muscle and bone in my body.

I screamed as tears streamed from my eyes onto the platform under me and the pain seemed to last forever. My body arched off the platform before collapsing back onto it a few moments later.

I didn't notice as the light faded and the straps around my limbs disappeared along with it. Not that it mattered sinice I wouldn't have been able to move anyway. I lay panting there as limp as a wet rag. My insides felt as though they were on fire and my bones as if they were broken many times over. I could still feel tears flowing from my eyes as more light flashed bringing more pain and screams til my voice stopped working. Not long after the second flash I passed out and felt no more.

I wasn't aware of how much time had passed before I woke up agian on the metal platform, but this time there were metal bars around me inside the circle so as not to disturb the circle etched into the metal. And so Shou could activate it without a problem. The bars reached up past the lights hanging from the ceiling and were only a few inches apart. Not something I could get out of without alchemy. I sat up slowly noticing most of the pain was gone. I looked myself over but nothing looked to be missing or out of place. When I looked again though I paused and stared. My body looked different. It wasn't a huge difference as I was slight to begin with, but now I was slender and had slightly curvier hips. I reached up to feel my face to find that it wasn't what I was used to feeling, the edges were softer and not mine. That bastard changed my bone structure.

I couldn't understand why this was happening. I would rather he killed me than do this. I began to cry silently as I sat there with my arms wrapped around my knees.

Shou arrived carrying a tray of food that he Pushed through a small opening in the bottom the the cage he made. I hadn't noticed it while I sat there looking over myself and the bars, not that the opening would help me any for it was only a few inches of space. Enough to slide the tray through, nothing more. He shoved the tray in my direction with what looked like a broom handle/

"I was begining to wonder when you would wake up. It's been five days." He whispered as he walked around the platform taking in his work. "I was starting to think I had done something wrong." I didn't answer him as he continued to slowly walk around the cage. "You better eat up, who knows when you'll get another meal."

'Five days? And no one has come for me yet?' I thought as I watched him. I grabbed the bread off the tray and bit into it realizing I was starving. Next I grabbed the fruit and the small cup of water. 'Why hasn't Roy or Al come yet?'

He stopped and placed his hands on the platform. "Your body seems to have adjusted well to the changes, no bleeding or deformities. You don't have any bruising from internal bleeding, and from the look in your eyes I would say your brain is functioning just fine." His grin popped back into place as he rubbed his hands together. "I bet you're wondering what I did, well I'll tell you. I changed the shape of your bones and you now have female genetalia and organs. Don't worry though they're fully functional, even as no outward appearance is there as of yet. That's what today's session is for." He seemed to be bursting with giddiness as he began to take things out of his smock again.

'Female organs?'

"Why am I in a cage?" I asked angry, "Why are you doing this?" I yelled and stood up.

"I have already told you why." he chastised. "And you only needed to be held still so that the uterus could be transmuted properly which only took a second. And the cage is so you don't leave obviously."

'I have a uterus? And he plans to.. to..' My thought process halted there as it began to sink in. I wan't fully a male anymore. Yeah at the moment on the outside if you didn't look too closely I was male. But inside?

My knees gave out and cracked against the metal under me, I sat on my heels and looked up at the lights above. My arms hung limply at my sides.

I wanted to die. No one was coming for me.

Yellow light flooded my vision and my skin seemed to be on fire. No sound escpaed my throat as I couldn't make a sound. When the light faded away I found I was laying on my side staring through the bars at nothing. I couldn't move as the area between my legs was filled with stabbing pain and my chest felt as though my ribs were broken and it was difficult to breathe.

As I lay there struggling for air my sight went black again.

This time I did not wake on my own, something was poking me. I turned to find Shou poking me with the broom handle that he had used to push the food at me before.

"Hey what do you know you're alive. And dare I say the most beautiful female I have ever laid eyes on." The way he kept staring at me made my skin crawl since I still had no clothes on. I looked down and began to cry again. I had breasts. And my dick was gone. Replaced by, I couldn't even look at it. I covered myself with my hands ashamed I had let myself get into this mess.

"You've been out for three days and I was getting impatient." He began to circle the cage again like before though this time he reached through the bars to touch me. I jumped and tried to get out of his reach not that I could move far. He chuckled before withdrawing his hand.

"You're absolutely stunning, you have curves and a slender form. Though today's session will be about changing your vocal cords. That's how the last one died, he died from suffocation. I'm not totally sure why but I did something wrong." He shrugged as though it wasn't his concern.

'Suffocation?'

"The best part of today will be making you scream, and hearing your new voice for the first time."

I didn't want to know what he was going to do. I just hoped I lost conciousness before he got what he wanted.

Shou began drawing on the metal platform before I could think about what he was doing yellow light flashed and I flinched expecting the worst. I had raised my arms up to cover my face which was a mistake cause I should have been paying attention to Shou instead. He had taken down some of the bars, enough for him to climb through and grabbed ahold of me. I was shocked out of my fear induced state and began to struggle as he started to drag me out of the cage and off the platform. I began to panic as I realized that when he took away my male body my strength went with it. I fought against being taken where ever he was going as hard as I could but he held on tightly as I draged my feet.

"Let me GO!" I yelled as I dug at his hand with mine trying to pry his fingers off with no luck.

I couldn't see anything due to being in the cage with bright lights and my eyes didn't have time to adjust to the darkness surrounding the room. He didn't seem to have a probelm navigating in the dark as the sound of a door handle pierced the darkness. Inside the room was lit with a few lanterns, the walls were lined with shelves apon shelves of books and jars with random shit in them. In the middle of the room was another cage though this one was larger and made out of wood rather than metal.

Shou dragged me over to it and roughly shoved me inside and locked it shut with what looked to be a wooden lock.

I wrapped my arms around myself as I stood in the center of the cage. There was nothing left for me to do. I was trapped and at his mercy, which he had none.

Shou walked over to one of the many shelves lining the walls of the room before returning with a blood red ribbon. He tossed the ribbon through the bars. "Put that around your throat." I glared at him without moving. "You can either do it or I will."

I slowly moved towards the ribbon on the floor and picked it up. Thats when I noticed there were faint markings on it. Resigned I tied the ribbon around my neck.

"Stand in the center of the cage again." I did as he told me to and watched as he knelt on the ground placing his hands on the floor. Yellow flashed and a circle appeared all around me and I was the center of it, or more precisely the ribbon was.

"Now this circle is different from the others." I just glared as he went on. "It is meant to inflict pain before it completes it's purpose. When I feel that you've achieved the perfect pitch I will remove my hands from the circle and it will be complete." He smiled ruefully. "It also doesn't let you pass out before being done either."

With those as his last words he actived the circle and I was held in place by invisible hands as electricity shocked through me in waves. I tried to fight against the pain the best I could before I couldn't anymore. The sound that escaped my throat didn't sound human let alone like me. I could feel pressure increasing on my neck as the sound grew higher in pitch the longer it went on. It felt like it went on forever before it suddenly stopped and the invisible hands let go and so did I.
