Her:
She's facing a demon, but it's small and her mind is on autopilot. She can't get that boy from the bar out of her head- fighting with someone who cared just as little for property-damage had been….refreshing.
She huffs in annoyance. "Sword!" she yelled, hand outstretched.
She dodges a swipe to the head. When fighting demons, usually a confined space works well for her. But this demon is crafty and knows it. So when it crashes through the window, sprouting wings, she's not really surprised.
The fist that grows out of the ground and captures it, that was a surprise.
Him:
Even with his brother, he misses that camaraderie he had with Eastern HQ, and Pinako, and Winry. He's wistful.
That's when a chimera bursts through an attic window two houses down. He reacts automatically and creates a hand to grab it. All before his brain catches up and he realizes that it can't be a chimera.
That's when a yelling girl leaps out of the window wielding a sword and stabs the chimera. Only for it to dissipate.
She leaps off the stone fist, and lands before him in a crouch.
He doesn't recognize her until she stands back up.
Them:
"You!" Two voices yell out, fingers pointing accusingly.
And the arguments are so like the ones they remember. Fighting with the Colonel and Sister Kate, and the Elder, and Winry, and even their enemies. The words are practically meaningless-after all-they've heard them all before. Destruction of property, shorty, reckless endangerment, shrimp, blonde, etc.
And that's when they hear the roar of multiple demons crashing through multiple attic windows.
Suddenly the town is much emptier than either of them remember.
Immediately, they whirl away from each other, back-to-back and face the new threat together. As comrades, albeit semi-reluctant ones at that.
A/N: So this was supposed to be the end of it, except for a short little extra, but people really seem to like it, so who knows?
This was just meant to be practice towards actually writing a multi-chapter story-thing. I realize that drabble chapters aren't really a great step forward, but eh, baby-steps. In any case, this chapter has a very open ended ending, so I might return to it later.
Disclaimer: I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist, or Chrono Crusade.
