Maes is not dead yet.

Kagome was trained by Ed and Al's teacher, Izumi, before they met her and after she trained them.

Kikyou is Kagome's older sister. There are three ex-husbands. Riza's father who left when he found out Rai had cheated on him with another man. Kikyou's father who was killed while in the war while Rai was cheating on him with...you guessed it, Kagome's father who in the end was her longest relationship.

Chapter One

Rain Drop's on Roses

Riza stared out the window as the rain poured down from the dreary grey skies. She looked over to the clock in the Colonel's office.

'I have to go.'

"Colonel..." She paused when she noticed he was asleep on top of his paperwork.

"ROY!" Maes slammed open the door with some photos in his hand.

'Well, he was asleep.'

Roy jumped and stared at the door that slammed open with a glare firmly in place.

"Hughes, what would you have done if I was in the middle of a very important conference. As it was I was writing letters to the Fuhrer." Riza lifted a brow at his lie as he pretended to get back to work. Maes stared blankly before laughing.

"That's a good one Roy, anyways. I came to show you Elysia at her third birthday. LOOK! ISN'T SHE ADORABLE IN HER CUTE DARK BLUE DRESS! She came up to me and said, 'Papa, I want my dress to be the same color as your military uniform.' Isn't that just the cutest― eh? What's wrong with her?"

Roy looked up and finally noticed Riza who was staring at a letter in her hands with a slight frown. His brows furrowed when she let out a sigh.

"Hawkeye?" She looked over to Roy.

"Sorry sir, I have to take the rest of the day off, possibly tomorrow as well." Roy and Maes stared in shock at Riza as she, for the first time in her Military career, asked for a day off.

Roy stood up and snatched the letter in her hands away, needing to know who and what called for her attention.

"Colonel!" Roy glared before he continued reading, his eyes widening slightly.

'Riza,

It's been awhile since I have contacted you. Even though you are only my step daughter I would like to think that there were better circumstances in which we talk. I am in need of your help. My youngest daughter is 'ill' and need's to get away from the places that haunt her. If it is not too much trouble, could you take her in for a couple months? If she show's no improvement you can send her back.

Riza, you are my last hope for her recovery. If this doesn't help her, I will have no choice but to send her to a nearby health clinic for the mentally ill. She will not speak to me and in the rare times that she does it's a lie.

Please do not take her words to heart. She is merely trying to get rid of my new husband in her attempts at framing him. If you can, put her through some Military drills and discipline her, she could use it.

You have no idea how much this means to me Riza.

Thank you so much. She will be at the Train Station for you to pick up at 5:30 – 6:00 in the afternoon.

Sincerely,

Rai Higurashi'

"...This is all in one letter, did you actually get the chance to say yes you would take her?"

Riza shook her head no.

"My step mother is, in my opinion, a complete nutcase. If her daughter is' ill' it's no doubt her fault. Anyways, it's already 4:47 and it's about a 15 minute drive to the Station. Since you two have enough time to slack off you can come with me." She didn't wait for a response merely pointed her gun and fired.

'Why am I nervous?' Riza thought to herself, placing the gun back in her holster once they were out of central HQ.

"So what does this girl look like?" Roy asked. Riza looked hesitant as she handed him a couple pic's which didn't go unnoticed by either men.

Roy stopped walking at the sight of the girl in the picture. Maes moved behind him and Riza sighed when his mouth dropped open.

"Major, you have a wife and daughter." Maes looked up and blushed.

"Yes, your right, my precious Elysia." Riza looked over at Roy and smiled.

'It wouldn't hurt to throw the stone and try hitting two birds, would it? I could get her talking, hopefully and get him a steady girlfriend that lasts longer then a week, maybe.'

-x-x-x-

Roy looked at the picture. A girl with wavy ink black hair and royal blue eyes stared cheerfully at the camera in a light blue sundress that had off the shoulder white sleeves that folded over the dress making it look like the top had a white boarder. White heels were on her feet and a white floppy straw hat was being held on her head by her hand as the wind blew. The back had the words, Kagome Higurashi, 15, Feeling free with the spring breeze.

The next pic was of her playing with a little boy. She had her hair up in a messy bun and wore a white tank top and a pair of faded Levi jeans. The little boy was on his back with his head resting on a fat cat while she tickled him, laughter and happiness clearly in both of their eyes. On the back of this one it said, Kagome Higurashi, 16 Souta Higurashi, 12 and Buyo, old. Laughter is the best way to cure a cold. Get well soon Souta.

The last pic was of her sitting in a tree with one leg hanging off. She wore what looked to be a silk Gi with no sleeves that hugged her figure nicely. It was black with sapphire blue butterflies along the bottom left side and above the right side of her chest. They were lined neatly in silver. Her pants were also in silk but in silver, the bottoms had something similar to sleeve cuffs only they were at the feet. The cuffs were black and all along and around the left pant leg were Sapphire blue butterflies only this time they were in black lining. Her eyes were cold steel blue as she seemed to be staring at nothing. Her arms crossed behind her head. On the back of the picture the words, Kagome Higurashi, 16 and 9 months, the day life turned grayscale and what was once a strong beautiful rose died.

Roy looked at her eyes.

'Hurt, she has been hurt.'

"-oy, ROY!"

Roy looked up and saw that they were now in front of the station. Having been pushed into the car by Maes and kicked out of the car by Riza. He stood up and dusted his uniform off.

"I never thought that I'd see you stare so long at a girl, especially one that is wearing more then undergarments or a bikini." Maes said jokingly but stopped smiling when Roy didn't say anything. Riza sighed as she held the umbrella over her head. The boys were just standing in the rain.

"What time is it?" Roy looked at his watch.

"5:09"

"Let's find a place to sit until she arrives then."

-x-x-x-

Kagome sat in the compartment with the other three that had sat down when they got on. She didn't mind but seriously, the short blonde and the girl had been arguing nonstop since they got on. She knew more of his life story then she would like to deem necessary.

"Seriously Ed, why go through all this trouble just for human limbs? You've got the smell of oil, the creak of synthetic muscles, the hum of spinning bearings, who need's natural when you've got automail?" The girl practically had stars in her eyes.

"Haha, loser machine junky."

'That's the understatement of the year.' Kagome rolled her eyes as she pulled a CD player out and her head set.

"ALCHEMY FREAK!" Kagome placed the head set on and looked back outside. She listened as her CD started spinning but before music could even start a wrench flew past her face and threw the glass window. Glass that broke flew in multiple directions hitting both her and the walking Armor.

Winry stopped talking within seconds of the accident.

"Oh my god Al, are you alright?" Winry asked the one who had been silent through most of the ride.

Kagome looked down at a piece of glass protruding from her hand. She didn't feel it, num to pain...any pain. She has been since her father started―

Suddenly the train came to a stop and she grabbed her stuff with her uninjured hand. She had a large yellow back pack on her back and a really heavy looking suitcase.

She stepped off the train and onto the stone ground.

"KAGOME!" Kagome stopped and looked around for the voice when she saw someone waving a hand back and forth in the air and made her way over to them. She had blonde hair up in a neat bun and reddish brown eyes.

"..." She said nothing and just stared at the woman.

"It's nice to finally me―"

"HEY! Girl with the yellow backpack," Kagome turned and saw the three that had been in her compartment running at her. She scowled and moved behind the blonde who was to be her caretaker.

'Haven't they done enough?' She looked at her now bloody hand and hid it behind her back.

"Ed, what are you doing here?" Riza asked.

"I always come back to report my failure. It's what keeps the Colonel entertained. So who is the girl?"

"This is my step sister Kagome. She's going to be staying with me for a few months." Ed, Al and Winry gapped at the girl before them.

"She doesn't seem anything like you." Al said softly.

"This is our first time even meeting." Riza pointed out.

Kagome walked away from the group and outside into the rain. Aware of the blonde calling her name as the group followed after her. She stood by the street and a Taxi pulled up next to her.

-x-x-x-

Roy stared at the girl as the rain fell softly against her body. She wore pair of hip huggers jeans and a large black shirt with a skull on the front, sneakers on her feet. Her hair was down and fell to the middle of her back in waves. She stood soaked to the bone as the Taxi pulled up next to her. Her shirt, though loose and baggy, now clung tightly to her body.

They all climbed into the Taxi and she ripped her shirt causing them to turn to look at her.

"AH! Kagome, what happened?" Riza asked as she looked over her hand.

"..." She glanced at Winry but once again, she said nothing.

"I through my wrench and it shattered glass. A piece went though her hand." Winry confessed. Kagome rolled her eyes and pulled the glass out of her hand not even wincing.

"Kagome, doesn't that hurt?" Al asked in concern.

"..." She wrapped the wound tightly and tied it. Looking out the window she watched the dreary rainy scenery pass her by.

'It's grayscale here too.'

-x-x-x-

Riza watched as Kagome looked around. They had dropped everything off at her home and then headed out to the Central HQ. She watched a smile appear on Kagome's face and felt her heart leap.

"Kagome, what do you see?" Kagome didn't answer, instead she ran downstairs and outside right past Roy and Edward who were heading in. They turned and watched as she got on her knees in front of a bush of wild roses.

'How beautiful, they're red, beautiful, color.'

"Is she okay Colonel?" Ed asked as the girl sat staring at the rose, rain falling on her. Roy walked away from Ed with the umbrella causing him to run inside to avoid the rain.

Roy walked up to Kagome and held the umbrella above her, watching as she stared lovingly at the roses being showered by the rain.

"Do you like roses?" She looked up and a blush found its way to her cheeks.

"Rain drops on roses..." She whispered softly, before picking the beautiful flower. She stared at it momentarily before standing and handing it gently to Roy who took it and watched her run inside.

"Rain drops on roses...she spoke...beautifully." He said as he walked inside and into his own office upstairs. Riza had let Kagome stay in one of the empty barracks while she was working.

Me: I have a bad problem, I can't stop writing. However, I can't leave a story alone either, so you don't have to worry about me abandoning a story.

Jakotsu: Read and Review!

Envy: Please and Saank You!
