By the way it's a KimbleeXOC! Yay! I like OC's! Don't you?

Chapter One: Distance

She couldn't help but fall under its spell

The smell of fires burning down the walls of confinement

It sent her senses pouring over the edge

In a frenzy

Her mind could slip easily into comfortable knowing she was home

With nothing but the true intentions behind her instinctive nature

Unfortunately, when the blood of war disappeared into the mucky sand, so did she

The walls of the city went up in flames quicker than they could catch on fire, the smoke carried the stench of rotting decay across the blood filled sand, & the only one that could save you from the over whelming feeling of insanity was him. You both didn't know how it happened. You both didn't ask or bother with anything else but the urge of this strange desire. They locked each other together with their fast moving lips letting their hands roam the other in a tug of war of dominates; in a way, Kimblee liked her aggressive side, the side that couldn't control the dark side of this 'innocent' girl'.

His hands clapped over his head creating another great wall of explosions covering themselves from the world. Her raspy moans were muffled by his hands spilling over her lips letting her lick & kiss his finger tips, when finally he thrust himself into her. She moaned out with a mind numbing pleasure engulfing her body like the flames that engulfed their surroundings. That's when their eyes met one another in a fight to weaken the other in their dream like state. But it was Kimblee who had the upper hand, quickening his pace after she had adjusted to him. He began to murmur sweet nothings in her ear quiet enough to where she could only gasp & blushed madly at the words he whispered. His teeth nibbled at her ear lobe with a soft sigh to warm her skin, a large grin beginning to plaster on his face when she trembled at his light teasing.

"Faster..."

She growled throwing her head back as he cradled the back of it with care; he began to notice her hands gripping hard against his shoulders when she dug her nails into him, but he didn't mind the pain. Again he smiled & moan slightly as the sensation of sex & explosions began to raise his blood, & so did the girl's as he gripped her neck in the heat of passion.

"Zolf…"

Before he felt that satisfying urge to cum, another urge to wake up ticked at the back of his head.

"Zolf. Zolf! Hey! Kimblee! Wake up!"

It turns out the sound of what he thought was a familiar voice, turned out to be the voice of a disgruntle guard that was calling out to him from beyond his cell.

"Get dress Kimblee! You're being released!"

It seemed that today would be the Alchemist's day for freedom. But he couldn't help but wonder why they didn't just terminate him like all the others. Like they did…Her. Or so they told him. Apparently after the war & after Kimblee had killed his subordinates the woman disappeared, & now 10 years later, the Military was releasing him from what he thought would be his new home.

"Mm?"

When he was dressed & proper the guards walked him down the hallway.

"So, who asked for my release. It must be someone higher up."

"Shut your mouth Crimson. If I had my choice you should've been long gone by now, along with that nut case of a partner you had."

Usually Kimblee would've made a comment by now or exploded the guards for making sure an arrogant comment thinking so highly of themselves as they did, but due to the fact that he was being released he felt a little restraint on the situation; he buttoned his lips, waiting for his opportunity to strike back. Finally when they made it to the outside, the man in white raised his head to the over bearing sun & grinned up at it before turning around with a different type of smile, a more sincere smile towards the guard as he put out his hand.

"You know, I'm very thankful for you taking care of me."

He wished to give one more farewell. The man didn't seem to happy but shook his hand none the less grumbling, "I never want to see you again."

With a loud red spark from his hand, he transmuted what look like a bomb like watch strap to the man's hand.

"What the hell is this! Kimblee Get it off! No stop! Kimblee Please!"

By the time the hands hit the 12 on the small watch, a small chicken popped out leaving the man speechless & frightened by Kimblee's little joke.

"What? It's just a toy. I thought maybe you could give it to you kid or something. Farewell, Sergeant."

With that Kimblee walked out with a satisfied smile under his hat, hearing the gates close behind him as he was finally free of his long years of sitting in a prison cell.

"Hm, I wonder what I should do now?"

Just as he thought that, he suddenly heard the sound of a car honking at him. A Military car waited patiently for him as he entered letting himself get comfortable in the seat. Then, an old familiar voice came from the front seat called to him.

"Well, it's been a long time, Crimson Alchemist." The man who he thought was blonde, turned out to be an homunculus he knew as Envy, grinning wildly at him.

"Surprise, surprise. So, you're the ones that released me I presume?"

"Yep, we came up with some problems & we need your help erasing them."

The car began to take off at a light speed it's engine roaring off down the street to Central where Kimblee would be getting set up for his new assignment.

"I'm not out for 10 minutes & I already have a job." He grinned happily knowing that his urges for blowing up things would soon be satisfied.

"Well, what's my assignment."

"You remember Dr. Marco, don't you?" Envy asked reassuring hit but knowing full well that Kimblee's photographic memory wouldn't deceive him.

"We had him under our watch, but it turns out he's escaped."

"Escaped?"

"One of the chimeras that was watching him went missing & if I'm not mistaken Marco was good at transmuting flesh, so we assume he has fled with a wanted Ishvalan criminal that goes by the name of Scar. And since you & your old partner were such a big helping hand in the extermination of Ishval, we figured you'd be right for the job."

The Crimson's eyes fell cold & dark at the mention of his partner again, but stayed silent & focused none the less, "By the way, I did hear mention the girl you were partners with went missing after the extermination, right?"

"Maybe. I don't care really. It's no news to me." He replied plainly showing no interest in the conversation.

"Yeah, well, we heard from a very reliable source about her whereabouts. Apparently she's been spotted up in the Briggs mountains, getting quite a name for herself up there in the north as the closest Lieutenant to the General herself."

For a moment, the Alchemist's eyes widened under his hat at the mention of his partner actually still being alive.

"So, if you could recruit her for us, that too would be a great help, ask for her full cooperation & we won't have any problems. Deal?"

Both the homunculus & Kimblee smirked, "Sure."

With that he pushed on his stomach using its muscles to release the stone he had swallowed once before, "I'd never thought I'd get to use this stone again. It's such a long time."

"That might not be enough for this job my friend."

Envy held up a newly made stone to Kimblee letting him take it in his hand.

"What did you use to make this stone?" He asked observing the smooth round texture.

"We actually used the doctors that made your old stone. Turns out it was a complete success."

Their smiles grew wider, smiles only devils could create.

"Your cruelty is infinite."

All the while, in the back of the Alchemist's mind, there was only name that seem to keep popping up at the back of his head.

Lilia Nelliel Smith... The name always brought a smile to his face...A grin even.

Meanwhile, up in the North at Fort Briggs~

The room fell extremely cold over night, but the grey white sky poured just enough light into the Lieutenant 's room that she owned right in the Briggs's main walls since she was constantly on call, & again it was a hard long shift last night for the poor girl, patrolling throughout the night until 5:00 in the morning! She was still trying to get use to her bizarre schedules they were throwing at her, loving & hating every minute of it. Lilia hate the cold more than anything too, but then again this wouldn't be the North without the cold & snow storms, plus, no one really knew her up in the wall of Briggs. The clock had just hit noon now by the time the Major had knocked on the woman's door, hoping she was some what more or less awake, but the dark haired girl laid silent in her bed with the thick covers only covering half of her form which laid sprawled out on the twin size bed of hers.

"Lilia."

Miles's voice gently called out to his beloved Lieutenant, who seemed to do nothing but turn over at the mention of her name.

"Lilly. Wake up."

"Mm, Huh? Go away."

She covered herself once half naked form with her blanket trying to ignore her superior, but he only lifted a portion from her head leaning over her body to get a glimpse of her slumbering face.

"Wake up, you. Your shift starts in an hour."

"It was day light savings yesterday."

A short silence took over the room before he blushed.

"It was?"

"Mm-hmm, check your watch."

Already she had set his clock to the proper time last night when the two were enjoying their coffees out on the balcony, scanning the mountains on their long night shift together as they always did around the same time every other night. The red eyed man chuckled a bit as he turned over the petite girl with no resistance this time; they both smiled at one another with a slight infatuation & innocent lust for one another.

"Then should I just jump in the shower with you while I have the chance?" Lilia blushed with a playful slap to side arm, making Miles laugh a little as he buried his face into the side of her neck, where he placed a little kiss to send a shiver down his lovers back.

"No, don't. Sleepy." Another gasped left her throat & lips as he pulled her close to him, letting his hands start to pull her covers from her body.

"Miles…"

"We don't get much time anymore…And it's been awhile."

He traveled a shaky kiss up to her lips.

"I know…" She pleaded back, wanting just as badly as he did.

There was that part of her that tugged at the idea of giving in, but there was always that part of her, that secretly missed the old days. When she was a ruthless woman in the bed. She was always the one giving orders, but with Miles, it felt mutual & innocent, something that made her feel at ease with herself instead of feel like dark animal was tugging at her strings. She was a crazy kid back in the day, & at time she couldn't help but feel that she should've been locked up just as her old partner was. Zolf J. Kimblee. That name haunted her ever since those days back in the Military.

Back in Central.

Again she shook it from her mind & continued focusing on her new found love for life, & fell into a deep kiss before the loud speakers came on about an intruder in front of Briggs. With a loud disappointing groan, Lilly felt his shoulders shrug as he pulled back from her.

"Duty calls my dear."

He quickly removed himself from his flustered partner only smirking as he assisted her up from the bed, still urging her to take a quick shower.

"Don't forget about tonight. We're still having Coffee under the stars right?"

"Wouldn't miss it!"

With a last kiss farewell, Miles closed the door to the woman's bathroom, & continued on to find his General to assist her in the new comers, while in the mean time Lilia finished up her quick shower & readied herself for work. She had set up her coat over her shoulders after finally being ready for those new comers, who you soon learned was the Full Metal Alchemist & his brother who was assisting him in his welcome to the Fort. Unfortunately when the Lieutenant approached the scene, it turned out that the Alchemist wasn't prepared to meet the first major Buccaneer. Actually it turned out that the FMA was actually a 15 year old boy. A 4'7 little 15 year old boy.

"Wow, they're getting younger in the military aren't they?" She asked with a rhetorical question to the Major who looked over the rail as him & the General. The three of them watched over the fight of the Major Buckoneer. & Full Metal Alchemist.

"So, you decided to join us Lt." The General's voice spoke strong & proud.

"Sir, Ma'am. Sorry for being late."

"Nonsense! You're actually right on time. Observe, & tell me what you see in this so called, 'Full metal alchemist'."

Lilia's Captain knew exactly what she was good at & knew her strong suits, & so Olivia put them to good use. Slowly the girl watched the fight, the boy moving to a good sense of speed, & rhythm in his fighting stances.

"He definitely trained. And from the look of his auto mail, it's not chromed like ours, so he'll definitely have a hard time out here if he keeps this up." "Don't you think his mechanic would've warned about coming up north?"

"Well, for a kid his age he's probably arrogant & didn't think to tell her. Or…He just forgot."

Silence took the Major by surprise, but it was true, because when the boy tried using his auto mail, it began to act up, & then, when attempted alchemy, it didn't work on Buccaneer's Auto mailed arm.

"Amazing detail Lt." The General congratulated the girl.

"Just doing my job…Uh, Ma'am!"

Finally when the fight was over, the General called out to her Major out on the battlefield, having the two boys finally interrogated, even after hearing & seeing that they had a note from the General's brother. Unfortunately the boys didn't know Olivia that well.

"Everyone fall back! Miles come with me! We're having a talk with the Elric brothers! Lt. Smith! I want you to prepare the men for an all around about patrol, then, meet me back at my office! You're an expert at the explosives so do what you think is necessary if you come close to a Drachma Spy! Kill them if they resist."

"Yes, Ma'am!"

Just before Lilia & Miles went their separate ways, he quickly gripped the girl's hand with a kind smile.

"Be careful."

"Aren't I always?"

She laughed kissing his cheek quickly before not wasting any more time taking some troops with her around the perimeter as asked, only to find nothing unfortunately; except a wolf or two that she mistaken for an ambush, which technically it was. Wolves were hunting this season. The hunt always left a sweet bitter taste in her mouth, wanting more & more blood to spill just for the hell of it, but that wasn't her anymore. Hopefully. Thinking about it was beginning to work, as well as work against her.

"Alright men, smoke'em if you got'em!"

She worded the joke as to tell the men they were done with their duty for the time being & could relax, while her on the other hand, had to report back to the General about the surroundings being cleared. Lilia was a speed walker when it came to walking naturally & again she felt her feet had done her some good in catching her Major with just her luck. She continued approaching the boys & Mile after their investigation, but the closer Lilia the more she began to perk her ears what the three of them were discussing. Edward Elric argued it wasn't fair for us as Briggs soldiers to keep secrets while they had to lay their cards out on the table, which made Miles stop in his tracks. Already the girl knew what was coming & continued passed them as he turned to the boys staring into those curious faces.

"Is that so? Well then, would you like to see my secret?"

With a removal of his dark shaded glasses, you felt yourself tense up as he turned to them to reveal his red Ishvalan eyes.

"You're…"

"Ishvalan?"

Yes, it was true. The man that Lilia Smith, The White Lotus aka the Silver Alchemist was tangled up with, a man of the very nationality she oh so remembered very well from her hidden past. The one's she intentionally killed. Luckily in the alchemist's favor though, Miles was the one that help pull Lilia's head out of the clouds that she once clung onto for so long. That she was scared to tell anyone, but some how the one person who should've resented her actually cared for her & protected her. Why, she only wish she knew. Their conversation started to fade as she finally came into the general office of her superiors & smiled as she closed the door behind her.

"Everything's fine & dandy around the perimeter! Although, we did come across a very, hungry welcoming committee."

She replied leaving her papers in front of Olivia who only sat back in her chair.

"Very well. Lieutenant. I wanted to have a word with you while Miles is taking care of the kids right now."

Lily gently laughed listening to that statement but did well to keep a serious composer, "Okay, D-did I do something wrong?"

"Nothing like that. It's been a couple years since you've fought near my side & kept this wall as strong as steel as have everyone else in this front, but you are truly a woman of leader ship. You can stay calm, & collected in any given situation & that takes a lot of skill & amongst other things I'm sure I don't have to name off for you. You're smart enough to know what I mean."

She began to wonder where she was going with this, hoping the worse was that she wasn't letting her go or something, "Uh….Thank you?"

"I'm not finished. Yet, there is still a lot of your past you refuse to mention & for that it's hard to think if you can handle such a big responsibility."

"Ma'am?"

"Lilia Nelliel Smith. We have two Major's but Briggs needs many soldiers & majors to keep all sides of our walls in tip top shape. So, how about it…"

She sat a badge on the table in front of her, "Can you handle the job… Of being a Major, Smith?"

Lily's eyes widened in such surprise she could only stare at the badge as if it was a trick & she could see the string clip to the honor that was given to her.

"Uh, wow…I…Wow! Really? This isn't some kind of trick is it?"

"Do I look like I'm joking soldier?"

Her voice was stern & cold still to this point & it only made the Lieutenant take her badge quickly & set it on her chest proudly.

"Ma'am, It would be an honor!"

She saluted Olivia, & the General did the same.

"At ease. Now, I heard you worked a full shift yesterday, so if you wish to catch up with Miles & assist him with the Elric brothers…"

"Yes Ma'am."

With that the girl left the office with a focused stare into the distance.

Major…W-wow…

She couldn't help it any longer. Her smile took over her face & the sight of the badge came to her hazel eyes.

"This is so cool! I got to show Miles as soon as I get the chance!"

Lilia nearly ran through the halls looking for her partner, when finally she spotted him walking out from the cold air outside.

"Miles! Miles! Did you hear? Did you hear?"

"Heard what may I ask Lt?"

The girl had to catch her breath for a moment before her eyes brightened towards those confused red eyes she had come to known for 7 years.

"It's no longer Lt., Major." His eyes widened for a moment as Lily's smile grew, then he noticed the pin on her coat.

"Oh wow, really? I'd thought she never come to that. Wow. Miss Lily Smith finally became a Major huh? Congratulations! This call for a celebration."

He smiled proudly down at her, taking her hand to assist her down the hall with him.

"How about we go grab ourselves that coffee. My treat." "What about the Elrics? Don't you have to watch them."

"No. I think those boys can handle themselves, plus, their just putting in their help around here."

She giggled a little, "Oh really? And what's that?"

"Scrapping off the sickles." She laughed gently remembering when she first had to do that.

In fact, everyone did, even Miles. But now that you two were Higher ups, there was a lot less sickle picking…

"So, How about that coffee?" He asked again putting out his arm to his fourth in command, which Lily gladly took kissing Miles on the cheek.

"I'd love some."

*Wipes brow*Phew! That was hard! Not the writing, but trying to figure everything out on this new account! But, here it is! Chapter one! I hope everyone enjoyed it, because I have fun writing it! Next one, Next Chapter 2! The Encounter
