Hi! New Royai! Let's see…umm…Really nothing to say, so jump to disclaimer!
Disclaimer: I don't own FMA, but I own Nikita though. (I hope that I don't just own Nikita…)
Waiting For Your Return
Ch 1: Leaving
BANG!
"I hate you, Roy Mustang!"
BANG!
"How come you can do this to me…?" Riza sat down, crying. Her hands were holding the gun that she used just now. She was in the shooting range. "How can you do this…"
"Mama, I am scared…" Said Riza's five-year old daughter, Nikita said from a corner. She was sitting in the corner for a long time already, watching her mother shooting the cardboard (Is it called cardboard? I really don't know…). She never saw her mother this angry. Not the day when her father left.
Nikita was only three when she saw it from the back of the door. That night she was holding the teddy bear, she couldn't sleep. She wanted to hear stories form her parents. She peered into her parents' room. 'Papa and Mama are talking about something that I don't know again, I better not to disturb them.' Nikita thought. Nikita walked back to her room quietly, suddenly she heard a gunshot. She stopped immediately and turned back and peered into her parents' room again. What she saw was her mother holding a gun, pointing at her father, yelling some words that she still didn't learn in kindergarten.
"Riza, be quiet! Nikita still doesn't know about this!" Nikita heard her father said.
"So what! You're still going to leave no matter what!" And the sound of gunshot was heard again.
"Riza, listen to me. I know that this wouldn't be easy. But you still have to listen. I just have to leave for three years! I know that wasn't easy for you and Nikita, but…I still have to go." Roy said.
Nikita dropped her teddy bear. Her father was going to leave? No, this couldn't happen! Her father wouldn't leave! At that time, she cried.
"Is it Nikita? Come in sweet. We will explain to you." Nikita pushed the door and went inside. She saw her father and mother, sitting on the bed. Next to her mother was a gun.
"Papa? Are you going to leave? I am sorry, but I heard what you all said just now…" Nikita said, tears forming in her eyes.
"That's true Nikita. Papa's going to leave, but Papa promises you, I will come back." Roy said to Nikita, stroking her shoulder-length blonde hair.
"Really Papa?"
"Of course, Papa won't cheat you."
"Roy, you better do what you said. I don't want you to make a bad idea for Nikita." Riza said.
"Ok Riza. I will leave tomorrow. Love you." Then he went to bed.
"Mama? Can you please go to bed with me?"
"Okay."
The next morning when she got up, Roy left already.
"Nikita? I 'm sorry that Mama scared you. Mama have something to do, you have to understand Nikita, because you're my daughter." Riza said, and hugged her daughter. "Let's go home and I'll explain to you, again." Riza then took her five-year old girl's hand and left the shooting range. Nikita nodded and left with her mother.
