She stayed silent as she stood within the cemetary, the wind swirling around her. A storm would be starting soon, but she really didn't care. Her long black hair had long since been pulled from its braid that she had put it in that morning. Dark azure eyes skimmed the grave stones in front of her as she read them silently. The sky let loose a loud roll of thunder as the rain started to pour down on the lone figure.

Long Nights

Prologue

Nobody's Home

"Fuck you, Roy! You know what we are doing is wrong!" a young girl exclaimed, she was no more than fifteen at the time. Her azure eyes held anger as she stared her comrade down, her shoulder length black hair pulled into a ponytail. Obsidian eyes refused to look at the girl as their owner kept his back turned to her.

"We have to follow our orders-"

"To hell with orders, Mustang! We're killing innocent people! Children and elders who can't defend themselves. Boys that are just becoming men and girls that are just being recognized as women. You know what we're doing is wrong...it's why you let Marcoh go..." she finished softly, watching as his figure tensed. Blood was smeared on her cheek from the tears, her uniform covered in dirt and grim along with traces of crimson blood.

Her right hand was hanging loose at her side, a small ring placed around one of her fingers. The stone on the ring glowed red, mirroring the color of the small round stone itself and the blood that it was sheding. Roy never got a chance to reply before she walked out of the room, slamming his door shut behind her.

Rain walked the streets silently, the rain rolling down her cheeks to wash them clean of the blood. The fake Philosopher's Stone was now in her pocket as she continued down the ruined street, her eyes never leaving the ground. Her head snapped up as she heard a small child crying, her heart breaking once again at the sound. Rain hurried down the street until she reached the small girl sitting on the steps of what used to be her home. She removed both of her gloves, shoving them in her pocket along side the Philosopher's Stone.

Rain hesitated before she reached down and picked the small girl, cradling her gently in her arms.

"Shhh...it's alright..." she whispered softly as she held the small Ishbalan girl. Their tears mixed with the rain as she finally started back towards her own house. After a few minutes passed the small girl finally spoke, her voice shaky and unstable.

"I want...Momma and Daddy..." she sniffed as she looked up at Rain, the gentle red eyes of the girl almost causing her to break down again.

"Gomen nasai...They're not home...nobody is..." she replied softly, pulling the small girl closer.

Azure met obsidian in an instant as she quickly turned around, her hair swinging with her fast movement even though it was weighed down by the rain. Roy stood behind her, watching Rain with sympathy in his eyes.

"Rain..."

"Don't Taisa...I'm fine," she stated before he could say anything. It was like this every year on this day. She would come here, remembering the girl's tears and the blood she shed in the name of the State. She would remember their screams, the crying and yelling mixing together in a dark haze. Yet she would always remember watching Gran, who had been the Colonel at that time, killing the small girl that she had returned with. Red eyes full of pain and confusion, the devistation of the Ishbal Massacre...
