The Oldest Elric

Chapter 3: Blood.

It was like the word itself had stopped the moment (y/n) hit the ground, never in her life would she think that Ed would come this far to hit her. The rain once again started to pour as she snapped herself back to reality when she looked up at ed. His face was filled with anger as he gripped his palms tight, the feeling of blood flooded her senses as it crept from her nose. Al watched the scene play in front of him not to sure on what to do but watch and wait. "What the hell were you thinking?! Getting In a fight with envy, He's dangerous!" (y/n) rose to her feet and looked at Ed her eyes were dull, almost lifeless like. "I'm fine, I knew what i was doing. There was no reason to hit me though." She talked to him in a calming and soft tone as she wiped the blood from her nose, she really didn't like her own blood. "Fine?! You call that fine?! You were flung into a wall and stabbed in a matter of fact, How are you not in pain?!" Ed stepped forward once more, he was doing his best not to do anything he didn't want to do again. "Ed, this is not the place for this." "You think I care?! What haven't you told us yet huh? Are you really who you say you Are?!" "Edward. I'm serous this is not -" "What are you, Who are you!" (y/n) went quite, she had to think. She had been someone else for year during the war and coming home wasn't the easiest to re-adapt to, who was she really. The quietness the came from the oldest only pissed off Ed even more. "Answer me dammit!" Rasing her head high, she put her hand on her hip. "I am (y/n) Elric, The Kinship alchemist. Your big sister who has been though more than you know. I don't have to tell you everything or anything more."

"Yes you do! How are we suppose to know the Truth of you then!" Ed moved over to his sister again before Al stopped him, moving him back.Something in her snapped as she watched the two of them, a soft smile formed on her face. "I did what i could so you two would't fail, but I still failed. You saw the truth right Ed?" Her words made Ed stop flairong in Al's arms, his eyes stayed on her, he didn't tell her anything about the truth. Then it hit him, almost making him drop his anger as He stared at her. "I lost our mother twice ed,  with more than i ever thought I could ever lose in one night." Everything Hit Ed and Al in that moment, she had done the taboo herself, she was the reason their mother lived longer the night of (y/n)'s "accident". Ed's eye widened as reality hit him, a lot of things made sense more than it ever did. Why she had a limp as a kid, leaving for the war, her reaction to their taboo. "What did you lose?" His words snapped Al out of his own thoughts, causing him to look at (Y/n). Her smile melted into a flat look on her face, she looked toward the sky. "I lost my leg along with feeling pain, I've gotten use to making fake grunts and feeling hurt. Now are you done asking questions?" She shoved her hands in her pockets as she watched Ed, He only looked at his hands slowly seeing the blood on his auto-mail. 

Sighing she threw her keys at Al, giving him a soft smile. "take Ed to my place, rest, eat do whatever." Walking away she gave them a wave while Al stumbled over his words trying to convince her to stay. Al looked at Ed whose hands trembled , the rain slowly blended with the blood making it vanish. The pained look on his face told Al almost everything that he needed to know, pulling Ed to (y/n)'s apartment. Al wanted to scream at the two for getting into the ridicules fight in the first place but, it was needed in a sense. It answered Ed's questions that he had about her, with the out come that he didn't like i'm sure. Al helped Ed into the apartment and sat in front of Ed. "Brother? you haven't said anything since she left. Are you ok?" Even if Al could't be much of any help, he wanted to do what he could. Looking at his brother he saw that his eye never left his hand, that was left clench and trembling. Grabbing his hand gently jolted Ed out of his trance as hi eyes met Al's. "I hit her. What kind of brother am I for hitting her, even with my metal arm, making her bleed." Ed's voice was almost a whisper as he moved his head down, he swore to not harm anyone he cared for again after he made winry cry. Ed sat where he was for awhile as he gathered his thoughts, moving his eyes to the window where the rain danced across the sky with the wind.
