First of all, I just wanna say, for those of you who are waiting for the next chapter in "Tame This Shrew. I Dare You". Not to worry, I'm just having a little bit of writers block on the Ouran end of things. It tends to happen when ever I write to much on one subject. But I'm not ending it, I promise you that. There will be more.

Alkehistory skills: Kai has these blue and white fingerless gloves with the water Alkehistory array sewn on. These gloves are made from a special fabric that Kai invented herself. It's Hydronet; every time she moves her hands in certain patterns, the gloves release hydrogen atoms into the air, which is full of oxygen. In short, she can create water out of thin air, so to speak. Also, she can control any water form because of the array on her gloves.

….

Hungry.

So very hungry.

I had been trekking through the desert for what seemed like ages.

And finally.

I was out.

I was finally on the eastern border of Ametris.

Rush Valley.

"Gotta… find… food…"

Voice: "Hey are you okay?"

Darkness.

….

I woke up in a bed.

The first bed I'd slept inn since I ran away from home.

I was so comfy.

I lay on my side and curled up into a ball, enjoying the comfort.

Suddenly, I heard the door open.

I looked up to see a blond girl in a black sports bra, a short blond boy in a black tank top and a tall man in a suit of armor.

The girl smiled and said, "Glad to see you're awake."

I smiled at her.

She set a tray down in front of me and it was full of food. I gobbled the whole thing up in no time at all.

"Ah, that was gooooooood! Thank you so much."

The girl smiled and gestured to the two boys, saying "Don't thank me. These are the one's that brought you here after you fainted."

I turned to the boys.

"You have my deepest gratitude."

I bowed down to them.

"No big deal!"

"Glad we could help!"

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Kai Ying."

"I'm Winry Rockbell."

"Edward and Alphonse Elric."

"Pleased to meet you."

The blond boy looked at me skeptically. "So, you wanna tall us why you were wondering around, nearly falling down from hunger."

I scratched the back of my head in embarrassment.

"Well, I guess I should have packed more food for my journey. I didn't think I was gonna be in the desert for as long as I was."

They were all staring at me.

"What?"

"You traveled across the desert?"

"Didn't I tell you? I came from Xing."

The boys were shocked. "WHAT? Why did come all the across the desert."

I looked down.

"I'm… running… My life in Xing would basically amount to nothing and I want more than that."

I looked up and smiled.

"So, as soon as I get some money, I'm heading to Central and joining the Military as, what your people call, a State Alchemist."

They smiled at me.

Ed was especially excited. "That's great! I'm a State Alchemist! Maybe I can put in a good word for you!

"I'd greatly appreciate that!"

Winry jumped in. "Hey, why don't you do some work here around the shop? You can earn some money."

Me: "That's a wonderful idea.

My first day in a new country. And things were going better than I'd thought.

'From here on out, what could possibly go wrong?'
