Hey guys. ::yawns:: well my day wasn't too exciting. just hung out at home (finally), redid my myspace, talked to CK for a bit, ate pizza, watched BB7, get weirded out by my brother, stole ppls icons (XD). typical stuff. But neways if any of u were paying attention to yesterday's post, i wrote that i was making a fan fic. yes yes, i know, big shocker, eh? I always write stuff then I wind up becoming to lazy to finish it. always happens. ::sigh:: well anyway I wrote chapter one of it and half of chapter 2. I don't know if it's any good or what, but it was just something to keep me amused last night. so if you wanna know what it's about then read THIS:
before edward and alphonse discovered the truth of the gate and alchemy, they were seperated. Alphonse was taken from his brother, Edward Elric. And in order to get his brother back, Edward decided to make a deal with Roy Mustang. He would push him up higher in the ranks to save his little brother. For years he's been working under the colonel now brigadier general's orders. Is all of Edward's hard work in vain? And a surprise appears out of the blue, as the beautiful Bleeding Alchemsit appears in Central.
Like it? THEN READ IT DAMMIT!


The Bleeding Alchemist


It was a dark day. Clouds were gray and hanging over our heads like little guilt reminders. The sky cried crystal clear tears that dropped onto the streets of the city. I didn't mind the rain though. The strangest thing to me, I thought, was that it hadn't rained in years since the last accident happened. I wondered what made it rain today?

Central was my location. Under the orders of Brigadier General Roy Mustang. I had been working under orders for the military for fourteen years now. I would've loved to say 'nothing has changed', but that would be a lie. Everything has changed. Ever since that fateful day my life turned into a living hell. Taking orders from the one person I promised myself I wouldn't obey. And every day my heart grows weaker as my youth fades.

Nine years ago, my life changed. My dear brother Alphonse was taken away from me to be tested in military labs. He was taken from me because someone knew about his secret and slipped it to the higher ranking officers. I couldn't get him back after that. I haven't seen him since. I've only heard his voice once since then. That was two years ago over a phone call. It was the last time I heard from him. He said they treated him well, but I couldn't believe that. Alphonse took everything in so innocently.

Knowing my heart was in great pain from the loss of Alphonse, Colonel Roy Mustang offered me a deal. He promised that when he became high enough in the ranks, he would free my brother from military custody. But in order for the deal to be made, I had to give something in exchange. Not equivelant exchange. I don't believe in that bullshit anymore. He wanted nothing more than me to work under him and push him to the top. I agreed to the deal that was made nine years ago.

Ever since then, I've worked under him, being nothing more than a little roach for him to walk all over. I haven't been permited to leave Central in five years. I've been firmly located here. Here in this hell hole. But as long as it brings me back Alphonse, I'll do anything it takes.

I felt something on my shoulder. I opened my eyes. Looked around the room observantly. I was expecting some type of officer to be standing over my bed trying to wake me up. I was wrong. I rubbed my eyes and sat up straight. I moved me legs onto the floor. I looked down.

There I saw Black Hayate licking my cold automail toes. I laughed a little. I picked him up in my arms and held him close. His tail wagged furiously as he licked my face. I laughed more.

Lieutenant Hawkeye walked in the room.

"Edward, I haven't seen you laugh in years." Riza sighed.

I laughed on.

"Edward, Roy wants to see you in his office." she said and walked away with Black Hayate close to her heals.

I sighed, then yawned. (I've become very lazy over the years) I slowly stood up as I reached for my pants. I slid them on and tightened the buckle. I then dressed myself in my shirt and coat and headed out towards the hall.

I walked down the end of the hallway and came to a stop at his office's door. I knocked twice then entered. I opened the door and the first thing I saw was Roy sitting in his chair grinning like the devil himself. I gave him an odd look and raised my brow.

"So, Fullmetal, what do you plan on doing today? More paper work? I know you love the paper work I give you. You just can't seem to get enough of it, can you?" he snickered.

"Ha ha ha. Very funny, Sir. But what was the reason you called me in this morning?" I asked.

"I wanted you to introduce me to a new alchemist from South HQ. She's supposed to be a prodigy. Only twelve years old. She just entered the military ranks, and apparently they want her under my supervision. Does that sound like anyone you know?"

I kept quiet.

"I also hear she's a real babe to, if you know what I mean." he grinned.

"Sir, can you please stop being a pervert and just tell me what you want me to do? You shouldn't be preying on twelve year old little girls when you have a wife and two kids at home." I sighed.

"Yeah, yeah. Right to the point with you," he sighed,"But anyways, I want you to escort her to my office. She's with Riza right now in the coffee room. Just bring her in and we'll see where it goes from there."

"What's her name?" I asked.

"She won't give her real name. They call her the Bleeding Alchemist."

"Bleeding? Why that name? And especially for a little girl?"

"They say that when she came to the military in South HQ, she was drenched in blood."

I remained silent.

"So be a dear and get the young girl for me, will you?" he asked.

"Yes, Sir." I mumbled.

Walking down the hallway again, I tried to imagine the night that girl was found. Did she drag herself to South HQ after something awful happened to her family? Did she kill anyone? Did she do any harm to herself? My head was filled with questions.

I approached the coffee room and entered. There I saw Riza sipping on a glass of coffee while reading the morning paper. Black Hayate was sitting on her lap. Across the way I spotted the alchemist girl twidling her fingers around into knots. I could tell she was nervous. But what surprised me was that she looked like an eighteen year old rather than a twelve year old. I scratched my head.

"Excuse me, Miss? But the Brigadier General would like to see you now." I said politely.

She looked up at me and gazed into my eyes. She blushed a bit. She went to stand and tripped her foot over her other foot. She caught herself before she fell and regained her poise. She blushed again and smiled. I couldn't help but to smile to.

She followed me out into the hallway and down to his office. I swung open the door and showed her to her seat. After she took her seat, I attempted to exit the room and head back to my own room for another nap. Roy stopped me.

"Fullmetal, I want you to help me figure out what I should do with her, 'kay?" he smiled.

"Sure thing..." I sighed.

I took a seat on his desk since there were no more seats available.

"So, Ms. Bleeding Alchemist, what is your real name?" he asked.

"I can't tell you. You won't like me if I tell you." she sighed.

"I hardly doubt that. I'm a very friendly person." he smiled.

"Promise you'll still like me, though?" she asked.

"Yes. I promise."

"It's Elicia." she whispered.

"What's your last name, Elicia?" Roy asked looking even more curious than before.

"Hughes. Elicia Hughes."

Our jaws dropped. We hadn't seen Elicia in years. About a month or so after Maes Hughes passed away, Elicia and her mother moved out south towards the country. We hadn't heard from them since. So of course it was a shocker to see her just show up out of the clear blue.

"Who was your father, Elicia?" Roy asked.

"Maes Hughes - your best friend." she asnwered.

"What brings you out here in Central? I thought you and Gracia were out in the south living peacfully."

"No. It hasn't been peacful. My mother passed away recently."

"Gracia? She passed away? From what? She was so young, I was sure she was healthy." I sighed.

"Yes, she was healthy. She died in an accident. She wasn't meant to pass on." Elicia sobbed.

"I'm sorry for your loss." Roy sighed.

"But let's get off the depressing stuff," I added," What can you do alchemy wise?"

"I can transmutate things pretty well. I don't need to use circles to perform alchemy either." she smiled a little.

"No circles, eh? Just like Edward?" Roy smiled.

"Yes, I suppose. I am more like him than expected."

"Yeah I guess you are. A state alchemist at sucha young age. We both have the same birthday... You're like my little twin sister if I didn't know any better." I laughed a little.

"So in that case, I'll put you under Edward's supervision. He can show you around the city and the HQ as well." Roy smiled.

He showed Elicia to her room and gave her a new uniform. While she was changing, he spoke with me.

"Edward, how does she become a good alchemist in such a short amount of time?" he asked.

"I don't know. But her not needing circles is bothering me. My teacher and I came to the conclusion that in order to perform alchemy without transmutation circles, you would've had to of seen 'the truth'. And the only way you can see it is if you've passed through the gate or have performed a forbidden act." I said.

"'The truth'? You don't think she performed human transmutation do you?" he asked.

Before I could answer, Elicia opened her door and skipped out of her room in her new uniform. She looked cute. Her dish water blonde hair was tied up in a ponytail. Her skirt went up to right above her knees. And her green eyes were glowing. She smiled then blushed.

"How do I look, guys?" she smiled.

Both of us blushed as we eyed her form head to foot.
