(I'll be posting for myself and Anna for a while) It had been 5 days since Ryou's death and Anna still hadn't gotten any better. She hadn't been to school, she hadn't been to work, she hadn't been out of the house at all, except her backyard. She hadn't eaten much or slept much, since the event still haunted her dreams. But it was a nice day and Kiba had somehow convinced her to go for a walk, so she was walking downtown, avoiding every place that she had been to on that day.

(Eheh...hurrah for cross-overs)
A rather short, blonde boy walked alone in the downtown area. He was talking to himself, and it would be hard to hear, but it was something about a stone...and "returning him to his body".

Anna hadn't been paying attention to where she was walking, and was also looking up, so she didn't see the short blonde boy coming around the corner and walked into him. "I'm sorry."

Ed blinked. He obviously hadn't been paying attention to where he was going. "Huh?--Oh, uhh, no problem." he said. There was a soft 'chink'ing noise and a silver watch fell from his pocket. Luckily, it'd been attatched to a chain and never made it to the ground. Sighing, he stepped around Anna, about to continue on his way.

Anna was about to continue walking as well, when something in her head clicked. "Wait a minute, do I know you from somewhere?"

The boy stopped and turned. "Me? Well, maybe. I'm Edward Elric: The Fullmetal Alchemist." he said, smirking a little.

"Hm. I think I've heard the name before...somewhere. Although, I don't see why a child would have a nickname like 'Fullmetal Alchemist'. It just doesn't seem to fit."

Ed's mouth twitched. "Child?! Child?!? I'm SIXTEEN!!" he said indignantly. As he threw his little tantrum, his sleeve fell a little, and something glinted in the sunlight. I hate being short!!! he screamed in his head.

"I'm...sorry." Anna had seen the glint in the sunlight and was clearly interested. "What's that on your arm, that just shined?"

Ed was thinking of some excuse not to tell this girl, but decided he might as well. Pushing up his right sleeve, he held his arm up in front of him. "There. See? That's why I'm called 'Fullmetal'." he said flatly.

Anna stared at the metal arm with wide eyes. "But how...? What happened?"

Ed looked away for a moment. "Err...." after a while he spoke, but quietly. "We tried to bring her back--our mother, that is." he pased, pulling up his pantleg to show that it too was metal. "I lost an arm and a leg. My brother...Lost his body....But we'll get them back...." he said. The last part of his sentence was even softer than the rest.

This boy tried to bring someone back? The only thing Anna had wanted for the past several ways was to bring Ryou back to life. Was this her chance to do it? "There's a way to bring people back?" she asked quietly. "If so, please tell me how."

Ed's eyes narrowed. "Did you hear anything I just said?! I'm like this because I tried that!" he said. "Besides: You're not an alchemist." He paused, voice lowering. "But...There might be a way....." he added in a whisper.

"I'm willing to pay any price to get him back. Nothing else matters much anymore," Anna said in a sad yet decisive tone.
