"Sir?" Kitten asked as she walked behind him.

Silence

"Sir????"

Silence

Kitten sighed as Roy walked into his office and waited until Kitten followed him in, before he closed the door behind her. After the door had closed she turned around and looked Roy in the eyes. 'Oh shit...I'm stuck in a room with HIM!' Kitten thought hurriedly and gulped, she began twisting her skirt in her hands. She suddenly felt nervous, like there were butterflies in her stomach. 'Why do I feel like a giddy school girl?!' Kitten thought to herself. Kitten quickly walked behind the desk and stood by the large window and looked out at the view of Central, she stared out the window in silence. She heard footsteps behind her, and the hairs on the back of her neck stood up as she felt Roy's hot breath on her skin. Chills racked through her body and she felt herself tense, knowing that Roy was standing barely an inch away from her.

"Uh. Sir?" Kitten started and turned to face him, she felt her face turning red.

"Do you like the fact that you are working under me?" Roy asked, leaning closer to her. Kitten blinked, her blush spreading and becoming deeper.

"Uh...Uh...Uh..." She stammered. 'Do I? No! I can't. an I? I mean he always acts like a pervert!! But he is attractive...Oh God! What am I thinking?! Why do I keep thinking about this now! Stop Kitten! NO...Nooo...NO! Stop picturing him in a speedo! Bad Kitten! Just calm down and answer the damn question like a sane person!!' Kitten's mind raced. "Uhhhh, maybe?" Kitten squeaked out. 'Wow, stupid! STUPID!' Roy smirked at her.

"You should give me a chance you know? I can be a good guy." Roy said slyly. Kitten nodded fervently.

"I-I'm sure you can!" Kitten agreed, her voice squeaked and her blush grew. Roy was grinning down at her. 'She is pretty cute; luckily I was the one who got her in the end. I wonder when would be a good time to make a move on her? She's already blushing like a excited school girl.' Roy thought to himself as he looked into her green eyes.

"Could you get me a cup of coffee? Nakahara-san?" Roy asked, grinning. "H-Hai Sir!" Kitten stuttered and scooted around him. She moved towards the door but he grabbed her arm. Kitten stopped and looked over her shoulder.

"Call me Roy." He said smoothly. Kitten's face grew red and she pulled away and dashed from the room. He watched her from the window as she dashed past the office and disappeared down the hallway. 'I think I worked my magic on her, most defiantly.' Roy thought to himself. He strode over to his desk and sat down in the chair.

Kitten slowed her pace as she neared the break room, which held the coffee machines. 'How can I go falling for Roy Mustang? I mean, when he was that close to me I just wanted to kiss him! No! You can't be having thoughts like that Kitten, I mean he is your boss, and you don't run around kissing your boss! Argh! Why do I have to be like this?!?!' Kitten thought to herself as she threw open the break room doors. She stomped over the coffee machine and filled up two cups. She shoved some sugar packets and cream cups into her pockets. Kitten left the break room and walked slowly back towards Mustang's office. Kitten had finally got her cheeks to return to their normal colors, which was a relief. 'Let's not try to let our emotions run wild this time!' Kitten said to herself as she stopped outside Roy's office door. She pushed it open with her butt and strode across the blue carpeting.

"Here you go Sir. Uh, I mean Roy." Kitten said his name softer than the other words. She felt herself flush slightly.

"Thank you Nakahara." Roy said and got up. Kitten was set the cups on the desk and pulled all the sugar from her pockets.

"I brought cream and sugar." Kitten said hurriedly.

"I noticed." Roy stated and walked around the desk. Kitten didn't look up at him, she stared at the coffee cups in front of her. Roy walked around her and stood behind her. "So, Nakahara, how would you feel about going out? Maybe dinner?" Roy asked. Kitten yelped and spun around on her heels.

"I-I couldn't d-do t-that! I-I mean you're m-my boss!" Kitten squealed, she had turned bright red again. Kitten was still holding a sugar packet in her hands. She was staring into his dark blue eyes.

"Would your boss do this?" Roy said softly and leaned down, grabbing onto her shoulders. He kissed her on the lips. Kitten's eyes grew wide and she felt her blush explode, she had no clue what shade of red she just turned. 'WHAT IS HE DOING?! OH MY GOD!?! WHAT IS THIS?!? WHAT SHOULD I DO?! Push away? Kiss back? Push away? Kiss back? Push away? Kiss back?! OOohooOH LORD!' Kitten's mind screamed. Roy was running his hand through her yellow hair while Kitten trembled under his touch. Suddenly there was a loud slam and Kitten jumped back, slamming against the desk and spilling one of the cups of coffee. Alex Armstrong had slammed the door open and was standing in the doorway.

"OOOOHHHH?!?!" Alex cooed in his deep and booming voice. A few people came out of their offices and looked down the hallway. The coffee dripped off Kitten's fingers and onto the carpet. She was breathing heavily and blushing. Roy was glaring at Alex.

"Armstrong?" Roy asked tightly.

"I was just going to tell you about a meeting...BUT I SEEM TO HAVE STUMMBLED UPON YOUNG LOVE!!" Alex shouted and more people came out their offices. A few came up behind Armstrong and tried to look around him. People loved situations like this; Kitten could hear some snickers from the hallway. She felt herself turn even more red. 'I got to get out of here!!' Kitten wailed in her mind. She looked over at the door, Armstrong had moved almost all the way into the office. Kitten shoved off the desk and ran full speed towards the open door. She sped out into the hallway and ran past all the chuckling faces.

"KITSUMI!!!" She heard Mustang shout her name down the hallway. Kitten ignored his shout and continued to travel up the hallway towards the dorms. She didn't stop running until she had made it all the way into her room and slammed the door shut after her. A few people looked out into the hallway when her door slammed. Roy glared at Armstrong who was looking out into the hallway at Kitten's retreating figure. Other workers were still snickering in the hall and whispering to each other.

"Armstrong." Mustang started, but Alex held up a hand and cut him off.

"It's alright my dear friend! I understand completely!" He stated and tears came to his eyes. Roy backed up slightly. "OOOH IT IS JUST SO BEAUTIFUL! LOVE IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL THING!" He shouted loudly. 'Why does he need to be so overdramatic, he is just drawing a crowd!' Roy growled in his mind.

"GET BACK TO WORK! ALL OF YOU!" Roy shouted at the workers out in the hallway. They all yelped and scrambled back into their offices.

"About that meeting, I'm coming. Get a janitor in here to clean up that coffee." Mustang said and left the room, brushing past Alex. He strode down the hallway quickly, still angry.

Kitten sat on her bed with the curtains drawn, her knees pulled tightly into her chest. She took deep breaths to try and calm her beating heart. She couldn't get the feeling out of her head; she kept replaying the events over and over within her mind. She squeezed her legs tighter into her chest and sat her chin on her knees and sighed, staring at the blank wall. She couldn't believe what had just happened, how would she walk down the hall tomorrow morning? She relaxed and laid down on her bed, staring at the ceiling, she thought she could see Roy's face within the paint lines and rolled on her side. She lay on her side for a while and then got up and stripped down to a baggy old gymnastics shirt and a pair of boy-short underwear, crawling under the covers. Even though it was only 5:00 pm she felt worn out and she reached over and turned off the bed stand light and slowly drifted off to sleep. She wanted to forget about the events today and calm her beating heart.

Her shoes clacked along the hard cement as she ran down the side roads, tracking the stray state alchemist Kimblee. She splashed through the puddles in a side alley. She wasn't even part of the military and she knew she had no business in chasing a crazy, sadistic state alchemist that only loved to blow people up. But since he killed her parents and brother, she had perfect reason to track him down and kill him. She spotted him and she picked up speed, as she leaped over a dumpster. His long dark brown hair was tied in a long ponytail that was blowing behind him as he ran, he looked over his shoulder and Kitten could see the insanity in his yellow eyes. She pulled a gun from her pants pocket as tears ran down her face and loaded it as he turned the corner at the end of the alley. As she hit the corner and turned he leapt out in front of her and touched his palm to her chest and Kitten looked straight into his eyes. She pulled herself into a backhand spring and sprung off backwards and landed, skidding to her knees and aiming her gun at the lunatic. She closed one eye and aimed, she pulled the trigger as he started running. She hit him in the back of the leg and he fell to his face. Kitten walked over and was about to shoot him again in the back of the head, but he rolled and pulled her to the ground.

"Forget it, cutie." He grinned.

Kitten gasped and sat up in bed; she glanced over at her clock.

"2:00 am." She groaned and fell back against her pillow placing her hand over her eyes. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she remembered that day when she saw her dead parents and heard the sound of the explosion as her brother followed suit. She would always remember that man, Kimblee. "Kimblee." Kitten growled under her breath and clenched her fist. That day she chased him down, before he could kill her another state Alchemist had saved her, and that day she remembered clearly.

Kitten was only around 11 when she almost killed the alchemist Kimblee. She was brought before the Fuhrer, who thought she was perfect for the government's new project. The only people that knew of this were the Fuhrer, his secretary, and a few elite officers, who Kitten presumed were all dead now. She had already been introduced to guns around the age of 9, since her father made them for a company he worked for. Kitten had never used one, until that day when she pulled the newest model off her Dads table, two days after the funeral, and walked out of that house and found the man who killed her family. She would have killed him too, but another state Alchemist cut in. She had forgotten his name.

Kitten closed her eyes and squeezed them tight, trying to expel the dark thoughts from her mind before she fell asleep. But those thoughts were hard to drive out of her mind. Kitten forced herself to think of her childhood friends and other fond memories and soon she fell asleep and the dark memories were behind her for the time being.

Kitten awoke in the morning even before her alarm clock had rung. She clicked the button so it wouldn't go off and scare her later. She dressed in the rising light that sent reddish rays around the small room. She silently brushed her hair and pulled on her shoes. Kitten looked at herself in the mirror and leaned forward. She rested her forehead against the cool glass and breathed deeply. As she exhaled the glass quickly fogged over. Kitten pulled back and walked from the bathroom, towards the door. She pulled it open and looked at Ed who had raised his hand in a fist to knock on the door, Kitten blinked a few times and Ed pulled his hand back to his side.

"Um Sorry about that!" he said and smiled hurriedly; Kitten gave a weak smile and shrugged.

"Meh, it's fine Edward. What did you come here for?" Kitten asked and Ed looked around to make sure the hallway was clear.

"I wanted to talk to you about something private." Kitten's heart dropped, 'Oh God did he hear about what happened with Mustang???' she groaned inwardly and looked at the ground.

"I guess." Kitten started and Ed grabbed her hand and started quickly down the hall.

"Great!" he exclaimed and Kitten yelped as she almost tripped trying to keep up with his fast pace. The two walked down the hall quickly, no one was up yet except a few select people that never seemed to go to sleep. Mustang was just leaving his room, he was planning to sneak into Kitten's room before she woke up and scare her, he wasn't done with her yet. Armstrong had interrupted them last time, and this time he was determined to make her swoon over him. Ed dashed past nearly dragging Kitten after him. Mustang caught a glimpse of them as they turned the corner at the end of the hall.

"What the hell?" Mustang growled and started after them. Ed took another turn, because he had seen Roy but luckily Kitten hadn't. Ed then pushed open the doors that led out to the yard and pulled her outside. The sun had just risen over the trees. It was warm outside.

"Um Edward?" Kitten squeaked out as Ed pulled her over to a large oak tree in the center of the yard.

"Hold on." he said and then stopped at the base of the tree and released her hand. She examined the back of his head and watched as his shoulders rose and fell with each breath. He sat down and leaned against the rough bark of the tree and Kitten sat next to him, but instead she laid back into the soft grass.

"What did you want to ask me Ed?" Kitten asked and stared up at the leaves blowing in the gentle breeze.

"I wanted to know how did you know about my brother?" Ed asked and didn't look at her; his face was stern as he looked at the cityscape of Central.

"Well that's hard to explain Ed." Kitten started. "I guess its because I've seen it before and I know." she said and then Ed turned and looked down at her face with expressed no emotion. She remembered some of her superiors talk about it when she was one of the military's assassins. They would use people like Al to guard military secrets, but she wouldn't tell Ed that, it wasn't something he needed to know.

"Really?" he questioned and Kitten nodded. She picked her head up out of the bright green grass and sat up. Ed leaned over her and plucked a ladybug out of her hair, Kitten blushed slightly and giggled, shaking her head a few blades of grass scattered into the wind. Now people started flittering in and out of the building and cars were driving into the lots and people were getting out. Kitten watched them all with dull interest; until she spotted Sakura running at full-speed into the building, Kitten snickered. Ed looked over at the people and leaned back against the tree.

"Human transmutation." Kitten murmured and Ed jerked his head up and grabbed her shoulders.

"What'd you say?!??!" he choked and Kitten stared into his amber eyes.

"That's what happened, you and your brother tried to perform a human transmutation." she said calmly and placed her hand on his chest to push him off of her. Ed searched her face for maybe something that would explain to him how she knew. Kitten smiled at him and threw her arms up into the air and yawned. "Hey!! Lets forget about that, okay Ed? It isn't a nice topic, too morbid for such a beautiful morning!" she said and threw herself back into the soft grass with a dull thump.


Ed looked down at her, he wanted to ask her more questions. She looked so peaceful laying in the grass, she was smiling and looking up at the tree. 'She looks so...cute! Wait?! What am I thinking?? I just met her a day or two ago!!' Ed thought to himself and shook his head quickly. 'I wonder how she knew about everything though. I didn't tell her, and Al didn't tell her. There must be more to her than meets the eye. Maybe she tried to perform a human transmutation...no, she isn't missing any body parts or anything. Maybe she knew someone who did one? Ugh, I should just stop thinking about it, I'm sure she will tell me sometime.' Ed thought and continued to watch her with interest. Roy threw open the door to the yard, but not at the same place Ed and Kitten had come from. Roy looked around and spotted the tree along with the figures under it from across the yard. He strode quickly across the grass glaring at the back of Ed's head the whole time. Ed shivered and Kitten looked over at him.

"Um...is something wrong Ed??" she asked and Ed shook his head.

"Naw. It's just I felt like someone was glaring at me." he said and shrugged and Kitten giggled. Roy was now a few feet away from Kitten. He stopped a foot away from her and glared down at Ed who didn't notice him.

"Someone WAS glaring at you Full Metal!" Roy said through gritted teeth. Kitten stiffened up and looked up at Roy, since she was lying down she got an awkward view. She turned red and Ed stood up, glaring back at him.

"What do YOU want Mustang??!" Ed snarled. Roy matched his glare and his hand tightened into a fist.

"Well I just came to collect Kitsumi, who DOES work for ME!" Roy stated and Kitten quickly scrambled up to her feet and brushed some grass off her skirt.

"Urm. Goodbye Ed." Kitten smiled at him. Ed blushed slightly and waved to her as she turned to follow Mustang as he walked off back toward the building. Roy walked down the hall with Kitten beside him; this gained looks from everyone they passed because the news of what happened yesterday in the office had spread quickly around the compound. Kitten's face was pink and she looked down at the floor to avoid everyone's gazes. Roy glared at a few passing people and stopped to unlock his office door while Kitten fidgeted next to him. Roy sighed deeply and opened the door. Kitten slid in and Roy followed her after turning on the lights.

"Kitten." Roy stated and Kitten turned to him.

"Yes Si-Roy?" Kitten said quietly and gazed up into his eyes. He smiled at her,

"Could you get us some coffee?" He asked and Kitten smiled back.

"Of course!" She replied and dashed from the room to the coffee machines in the break room. She didn't look at anyone she passed. 'Maybe he isn't so bad after all, although I still feel weird about that kiss!' Kitten thought to herself.

Ed and Al were sitting at the mess hall tables and Ed nibbled on his food. A few people gossiped as they walked by.

"Yea..you know about that right?"

"Well the whole place knows!!"

"It was hard not to hear about it! EVERYONES talking about it!"


"I never thought...I mean its Colonel Mustang!!"

"And that new girl that works for him...wow...he's so lucky..."

"I thought it was illegal to date your boss, are they even dating?!"

Ed stopped eating and watched as the guys sat down at a table not to far from Ed's. Ed stood up and Al watched him puzzled. Ed walked over as they continued talking, he slammed his hands down on their table and they all jumped.

"What happened between Kitten and Mustang??" Ed growled and the guys exchanged looks.

"You mean you didn't hear about it Mr. Full Metal?" One guy asked and Ed shook his head.

"Well—" Someone started and another person continued.

"They were getting it on in the Colonel's office, but then Major Armstrong busted into the room and then that girl ran back to her room! Wow, I heard it was quite a sight too!" the guy said and Ed twitched.

"Yeah! She has quite a rack I heard!!" Someone else at the table stated and made a gesture to suggest he had huge boobs. Everyone began laughing. Although, by this time the story had grown into quite the lie, it was nowhere near the truth, but Ed didn't know this of course. Ed roared and everyone in the room silenced quickly. They looked over as Ed shook with anger and turned to leave. 'Why am I even mad?! I don't know but hearing that just made me unbelievably angry! That slime ball I can't believe him!' Ed thought angrily as he stomped towards the doors. Al got up quickly, rather embarrassed by his brother's immature behavior, and followed Ed as he left the room. He clanked after Ed, jogging to catch up to his stride. The guys at the table exchanged glances and gulped.

"This can't turn out good." one said in a hushed voice.

"Maybe we shouldn't have told him." Another one said. They all nodded in agreement.

Ed stormed down the hall, people stopped and moved out of his way as he glared Roy's office door.

"Mustang." he growled under his breath. Al apologized to everyone they passed and kept giving Ed worried glances. Ed busted into the room and walked quickly over to where Roy sat at his desk, he casually glanced up. Ed was steaming. The fact that Roy seemed so relaxed and calm mad him even angrier. "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU...YOU....YOU!!!!" Ed stammered and Roy stood up. Mustang walked around his desk to face Ed.

"What Edward?" Roy said coolly and smirked, Ed shook with newly refreshed anger.

"YOU! YOU! YOU! YOU AND THE RUMORS!!!" Ed screamed and Roy's smirk turned even eviler.

"Oh yes! Kitten and I?" Roy sneered, using her nickname. "Oh! It was so wonderful!!!" Roy said to anger Ed even more. Ed gritted his teeth and then lunged at Roy. Al yelped from the doorway.

"BROOTHERRR!" Al shouted, but it was already too late.

Kitten sat between two beds in the medical ward and sighed.

"You two are so immature." she moaned and Al nodded fervently from the doorway. Roy and Ed groaned from the cots and mumbled curses at each other.

"I hope you both learned your lesson!" Al said from the door and Kitten got up. She walked from the room with Al behind her. Ed and Roy glared at each other from their beds.

"I hate you." they said in unison to each other. Kitten walked briskly down the hall, it was now nearing 10 at night and most people had retired to their rooms. Al had insisted that he would stay outside the medical ward incase the two decided to start another fight. Kitten bumped into someone and took a few steps backwards and looked up into the face of her friend Sakura.

"Waii!! Sakura-chan!!" Kitten squealed and hugged her friend tightly. Sakura gave Kitten a weak smile and hugged her back.

"Hey Kitten-chan!" she smiled with more effort this time. "I heard about you and Roy!! So are you two a couple???" Sakura winked and nudged her friend in the stomach. Kitten blushed but quickly shook it off.

"Not really. So how's working with Archer?" Kitten asked, changing the subject quickly. Sakura stiffened.

"Um it's, okay, you know, the normal." she said shakily and then as if something hit her she looked at the large clock on the wall. "Oh no! I need to drop something off at his office now!!" She shrieked and waved goodbye to her friend as she dashed down the hall, leaving Kitten in confusion. 'She didn't seem that happy. I wonder what is up with her? Did something happen? Or maybe I'm just over thinking it, maybe she is just stressed or something. She never could handle stress very well.' Kitten thought to herself.

"Poor Sakura-kun! She seems really over worked!" Al said from where he was behind Kitten. Al was grabbing some food to bring to Ed, then he would be returning to the medical ward.

"Yeah, she really is! I hope she's alright!" Kitten replied in agreement.

"Well Al, make sure you watch over those two, I don't want them starting another fight." Kitten said and Al sighed. His armor clanked lightly with his movement.

"I'll try, but as you can tell it's hard to break up their fights before some major damage occurs." Al replied and Kitten nodded. Mustang's office now needed a new desk, two new chairs, and some patching on the walls. It was amazing how much damage was done in the span of about five minutes. Kitten shook her head sadly just thinking about it. She and Al had to explain everything to the Fuhrer after it had happened. Al apologized so much that the Fuhrer seemed to feel bad for him. Kitten was patting Al's back the whole time, making thumping noises. Workers were whispering about it, and Kitten knew that more rumors would arise. She sighed to herself. "I'm going to get that pudding for Ed now, I'll see you in the morning Kitsumi-kun!" Al said and turned to leave. Kitten reached out and grabbed his armor-encased arm.

"Al! Call me Kitten okay? Or even Kitten-chan! Don't be so formal! We are friends after all!" Kitten said with a smile. Al looked over at her and smiled back. He scratched the back of his metal encased head, he seemed a little nervous.

"Oh Okay. Kitten-chan!" Al corrected himself.

"That's more like it! Have a nice night Al!" Kitten said and released his arm. She waved goodbye and turned to head down the hallway towards her room. Suddenly she felt someone grab her shoulder. Kitten jumped slightly and turned around.

"Oh! Sakura-chan?!" Kitten asked in surprise, she had figured she went back into her room after she delivered the papers to Archer. "What are you doing here?" She asked. Sakura looked around the hallway, seeming slightly nervous. Al had already disappeared down another hallway towards the kitchens. Sakura sighed in relief when she saw no one else was around. Sakura stared her in the eyes,

"I'm scared, can I stay in your room tonight?" She asked softly and grabbed Kitten's sleeve tightly. Kitten was now even more confused but shrugged it off; she didn't want to pry.

"Of course Sakura-chan!" Kitten smiled and she walked the rest of the way to her room with Sakura, who kept looking around, very paranoid. Kitten unlocked her door and flipped on the light switch as she walked into the room. Sakura followed her into the room and looked around as Kitten shut the door. Sakura walked farther into the room and plopped herself on the bed. "I'm really scared Kitten..." Sakura gulped and looked up at Kitten who was standing next to her. Kitten looked down at Sakura's scared face in confusion.

"What do you mean??" She asked and sat next to Sakura on the bed.

"It's Archer." Sakura gulped and Kitten nodded and waited for her to continue. "He's evil! I know it. He always talks about war, and I think he wants to start another one. I'm scared and I don't want to work under him anymore Kitten!!!" Sakura wailed and hugged her friend. Kitten patted her back and smiled.

"It's okay Sakura-chan! There is no way he can start another war, he isn't high enough up in the chain of command!" Kitten comforted Sakura as best she could. 'Could Archer really be planning to start a war? Why would he want to? Well, I don't want to worry Sakura so I can't act like I believe her.' Kitten thought to herself.

"But what if he does somehow?! What if he does something really evil!" Sakura cried.

"Ooh Sakura, don't worry about it alright. Hey, lets forget about work tonight okay?" Kitten said, trying to take Sakura's mind off her superior, Archer, and onto something more fun.

"Yeah! You're right Kitten!" Sakura said brightly, masking over her fear, and they both giggled. After they changed into night-clothes, Kitten wearing a baggy jersey and some boy short panties and Sakura in a cami and pink scrubs with boxers under them. They both laid on the bed with a bowl of popcorn between them, the clock on the nightstand read midnight. When they were together, the two of them always stayed up late.

"So Kitten, what happened with you and Roy??" Sakura asked and tickled Kitten, who squirmed and giggled.

"Weelll...I suppose I could spill the juicy details." Kitten said and Sakura cooed.

"Awww!"

"Well let me start by saying, don't believe any rumors you heard! None of them were the real story, it never got that intense!" Kitten said and wagged her finger. Sakura made a pouty face.

"Awww bummer!" She whined and Kitten flicked in her the arm.

"Hey now! Just listen to the story! A-hem. Anyways. I went into the office and he told me to go get coffee, so I did. Then when I came back he came up to me and was right up in my face. Then Mustang says "Call me Roy." And asks me to dinner, and I told him that I couldn't because he was my superior. So he tells me "Would your boss do this?" And then he kissed me! Of course I had a mental spaz attack, and he was running his hands through my hair. Then Armstrong broke down the door, and that was it!" Kitten concluded and stuck out her tongue. Sakura burst into a fit of giggles after hearing the story.

"Heeey!" Kitten whined. "Its not funny!!" Kitten grabbed Sakura and started to tickle her. Soon they got into a big tickle fight. After about 20 minutes of intense tickling and pillow fighting, they both collapsed onto the bed, breathing heavily.

"G'Night Sakura." Kitten mumbled and Sakura made an incoherent noise in response. They both drifted off to sleep a few minutes later.

Something bumped into her leg and her eyes blinked open. She looked over at the peaceful face of Kitten who was sound asleep next to her; Sakura rubbed her eyes and quietly slid off the bed. Kitten remained asleep, but rolled over on her side facing away from Sakura. Sakura giggled softly as Kitten muttered something that sounded like "Roy..mmmm". Sakura slipped on her slippers but didn't bother to change her clothes. She opened the door as quietly as she could and snuck out into the dimly lit hall. Her footsteps made soft thumps as she jogged down the empty hallway. The dim lighting made the hallway eerie and creepy. A light flickered from the room at the end of the hallway, Sakura gulped and looked behind her. The lights went off the second she passed below them. Her heart was beating faster with every step she took. The darkness that was following her scared her even more. She didn't want to be going where she was headed, but she couldn't help it. Her feet were taking her there faster and faster. She finally made to the room on the end; it felt like an eternity had passed. She flung herself through the open doorway and found herself face-to-face with the man that Archer was with the other day. Although she had heard that he turned down Archer's offer. Archer had seemed pretty mad about it, Sakura was glad. She didn't want that man in the office anymore. He smirked at her, evil shown in his eyes, his short black hair was spiked, and his teeth were razor sharp as he smiled manically at Sakura. He didn't even seem human.

"Hello Sakura." The man said, behind her Archer came in with Kitten who squirmed and cried in protest. Archer threw Kitten to the floor in front the other man, who went over and took Kitten's face in his hand. He squeezed it between his thumb and finger as he stared into her eyes. Sakura cried.

"STOP!" She screamed but Archer grabbed her arm and threw her to the ground.

"BE QUIET GIRL!" He yelled at her and Sakura whimpered but didn't speak. The other man pulled Kitten against him even though she struggled. Sakura watched helplessly.

"Can I have some fun with her Archer??" the man asked and squeezed Kitten's breast.

"Of course, but you know that we need her alive." Archer stated and the man smiled. Sakura whimpered again and tears rolled down her cheeks. Sakura let her head drop and she stared at the floor, while her friend screamed.

Sakura jolted and felt something fall on her; she twisted, turned, and looked around her. One dim, dirty light bulb swung in small circles above her head. The mop from the janitors closet had fallen across her bare legs, she groaned and sat up smashing her hand into the door a few feet in front of her.

"Oow!" She cried and clutched her hand to her chest, letting it throb in pain. 'I guess I was sleep walking again. I need to stop thinking about this! He is gone already; he didn't take Archer's offer. Now Archer wants revenge on him too, since he stated that he was working on his own. So now he is going after Kitten on his own! What am I supposed to do? If I tell her Archer will do something terrible to me, so I can't say anything! She didn't even know that man's name! There no way she could find him again. In the back of her mind she wished that Archer would kill him before he could act on his own, but somewhere deep down she knew that Archer would want his revenge long and drawn out. I just need to forget about it, maybe nothing will happen.' She thought to herself. Sakura shook her head and dispelled all the thoughts about the man, Archer, and both of their plans. Without a clock in the musty closet she had no way of telling what time it was.

"This sucks!" She whined and pouted. She wanted to get out of there. Sakura carefully nudged the door in front of her with her foot. It didn't budge. "Shittt! It's locked from the inside! What kind of door is this?!" Sakura whined to herself and slumped down against the mop bucket. Cleaning supply smells filled her nostrils and she coughed. It was horrible.

The sun shined into the windows in the medical ward. Roy blinked as the rays splashed across his face. He sat up slowly, his muscles screamed in protest but he ignored the burning. He looked over at Ed to see if he had woken up. Ed was turned to other way, back to Roy, and seemed to be sleeping silently. A soft snore escaped Ed's lips, signaling to Roy that he is, in fact, still sleeping. Roy grinned to himself. 'I'm not going to let that pipsqueak get ahead of me, if he likes Kitsumi too I won't give him a chance!' Mustang thought to himself. Roy slipped off the bed and grabbed his robe from the bedpost. He pulled the robe on and snuck from the room as quietly as possible. He wanted to get a head start on the day. Al was gone, most likely to eat an early breakfast. Roy smiled at his good luck. 'I'll go pay Kitten a morning visit, I'll make her fall for me.' Roy thought to himself as he creeped down the hallway. He moved slowly, since his injuries still throbbed when he moved. It took him a long time to drag himself up the staircase and down the hallway. Finally he could see Kitten's door. From the stairwell up the hallway, the one closer to Kitten's room, Ed jumped out. Roy stopped in surprise, from where he was leaning against the wall for support.

"What are you doing here Full Metal?" Roy growled. Ed snarled as well as he looked down the hall and saw Roy.

"Well when I rolled over, I saw your bed was empty. I knew you wouldn't be going to work, so I thought you would be coming here to harass Kitten more, since you obviously are a slime bag ass hole." Ed stated and smirked at Roy. Mustang shook in anger.

"What did you just call me pipsqueak? You look like a rejected elementary student, you really think she would like someone like you?" Mustang taunted. The veins in Ed's forehead throbbed in anger and he walked/limped down the hallway towards Roy. Roy walked towards Ed, glaring at him the whole way. They stopped when they were a foot apart.

"So, you think you can call me tiny and get away with it Flame?" Ed said through gritted teeth.

"Oh, I think I can!" Mustang replied smartly.

"I'll let you get away with it this once, because…I'M GETTING THERE FIRST!" Ed shouted and spun around, taking off running towards Kitten's room. He had an advantage with the metal leg, since it wasn't injured. Roy attempted to catch up, but moved much slower than Ed.

"GET BACK HERE ED!" Roy shouted after him. Ed reached the door and slammed into it loudly, making the frame shake. Then, seconds later, Roy slammed into Ed, dragging him down the hallway floor.

"GET OFF ME YOU OLD MAN!" Ed shouted and flailed around on the ground. Roy attempted to hold him down in an arm-lock, but his wounds protested to all the movement. He gritted his teeth as Ed continued to fight back. The brawl continued on the floor in front of Kitten's room.

Kitten stepped out of the shower when she heard all the slamming, banging, and shouting from the hallway. She quickly wrapped a towel around herself and came out of the bathroom. She stomped her way over to the door. She was angry she got interrupted; she was trying to figure out where Sakura disappeared too. Kitten had been making a list of places to check in her head until a loud slam against her door made her loose her train of thought. She kicked her dorm room door open angrily and then stopped when she looked out on the scene in the hallway in front of her room. Ed was on the floor, Roy was attempting to grab him in a head lock while Ed was trying to kick at him. They stopped in the middle of the fight and looked up at her. Kitten's wet hair dripped onto the carpeting as she stood there.

"K-Kitten!" Ed stammered; he was the first to speak. He blushed, since she was only wearing a towel. Kitten sighed; she should have figured that it was something like this. The two of them just didn't seem to get along.

"Sorry Kitsumi, but Full Metal was trying to sneak into your room this morning, so I tried to stop him." Mustang said, making up a lie on the spot. Ed's mouth opened into a wide 'O' and then his eyebrows narrowed in anger.

"WHAT??!?!?! THAT IS THE OTHER WAY AROUND YOU DIRTY LIAR! HOW DARE YOU MUSTANG!!!" Ed screamed in anger, he was still blushing. Now though, part of his redness was also from anger. Kitten cocked her eyebrows at this comment. 'So one of them was trying to sneak into my room huh? Oh goodness, men, why are they always such creepers?' Kitten thought to herself as she looked down at them.

XXXXX

"Brother! I brought you so eggs and bacon!" Al announced happily as he clanked into the room. He gasped when he saw that both beds were empty. The covers were all astray; Ed's were pretty much off the bed completely. "Oh no!" Al yelped. He set the plate down on the side table and looked out into the hallway worriedly. He saw a nurse come out of another room. "MISS! MISS!! I NEED HELP!!" Al shouted at her. The nurse turned and hurried down the hall towards him.

"What is it Elric-sama?" The nurse asked, looking up at Alphonse. "Did something to happen to your brother? Is he alright?!" The nurse asked and tried to get around Al's large body, which was blocking the whole doorframe.

"Well uh...it's not like that...it's uh...both of them are gone." Al stated simply and twiddled his thumbs. He was embarrassed that his brother always acted so rashly. The nurse stopped trying to get around Al and took a step back. She rubbed her temples; she didn't seem very pleased with this news.

"So when you got here they were both gone?" The nurse asked and Al nodded.

"What was there fight over again? A girl right?" she asked and looked up at Al. The suit of armor nodded in agreement.

"Yes, it was over Kitten-chan. You know her right?" Al asked and the nurse nodded.

"Yes, I've met her a few times, such a sweet girl." The nurse said and then shook her head; she was getting off topic. "Well if my hunch is right then they both went up to see her, they probably ran into each other, and they probably got into another fight." she explained. Al began to fret.

"Oh no! We better go stop him! I hope they didn't disturb Kitten-chan too much!" Al said quickly, he looked up the hallway towards the staircase.

"Don't worry Elric-sama, we will get them both back down here. It's my job, and I'm damn good at it too." The nurse stated and rolled up her sleeves. She was glaring at the staircase. "I'm not letting two love obsessed boys ruin my morning." She growled and started towards the staircase. Al followed behind her. 'Man, sometimes girls can be pretty scary.' Al thought to himself. The nurse stormed up the stairs in the direction of Kitten's room. Kitten had told the nurse her room number when Roy and Ed had been brought to the medical floor. Kitten had done it in case something happened, in the back of the nurse's mind she wondered if Kitten had expected something like this. 'Although it is nice when guys fight over you, I think this is a little too over the top. Although it seems like Kitsumi-sama takes this all in stride. Well I'll make sure they both get back into their beds so she can continue her morning without interruption from stupid men!' The nurse declared in her thoughts as she made her way up the staircase. The nurse slammed open the stairwell door and stepped out into the hallway. She looked down the hall and saw Kitten standing in her door wearing a towel and both men shouting at each other on the floor. The nurse shook her head slowly and started towards them all. Alphonse came banging up the stairs behind her. He blushed when he saw the scene, since Kitten was in a towel. Al followed behind the nurse, trying to be as silent as possible. It didn't seem like any of them had notice the nurse or Al coming down the hallway.

"BOYS!" The nurse shouted angrily when she was only a few feet away. Kitten looked over and smiled at the nurse. Roy and Ed got up quickly; it wasn't wise to anger a nurse. "What are you doing up here?!" The nurse asked, although she already knew the answer.

"Well uh...you see—" Ed started but she cut him off.

"It doesn't matter now! COME BACK DOWN NOW!" She shouted and grabbed both their ears. Both men yelped in pain as the nurse dragged them off back down the hallway. Al moved aside the make room for her. Kitten looked over at saw Al.

"Oh hey Al! Thanks for collecting your brother and Roy." Kitten said and smiled. Al was still blushing.

"It was nothing! Sorry if they caused you any trouble!" Al apologized and bowed slightly. Kitten giggled.

"Oh Al, It's all right! Well, have a good morning!" Kitten said.

"You too!" Al replied and turned to job back down the hallway after the nurse. Kitten walked back into her room to dry her hair. She turned on the radio and started the dryer; she turned it up so she could hear it over the noisy drier. After this she knew she would have to find Sakura, since she left her clothes on the floor. She was worried about where that girl had ran off to.

Clouds are singing a song, marching along, just like they do

Kitten wondered about a lot of things. She couldn't tell if she liked Roy or not, she did find herself thinking about him a lot of the time. He was so tall, built, and handsome. He seemed to be sweet; at least, he could be if he wanted to be. Not to mention his kiss had sent her into giddy schoolgirl mode.

If the clouds were playing a song, I'd play along, wouldn't you too?

Then there was Ed. The Full Metal Alchemist. He was sweet too, but she couldn't tell if he liked her, maybe he just was too dense to realize that he did. He had such kind and innocent eyes. He was also so determined, he was always set in his way and Kitten liked that about him.

If you just knew, what they could do, oh if you just knew, what would they do?

Kitten sighed. There was always a choice to make in life. They were both so sweet, and both so different from each other. She would just wait and see how things played out; maybe an answer would be clear in the future.

I know its sad but i never gave a damn about the weather, and it never gave a damn about me

Kitten knew she shouldn't be thinking about this stuff now, she needed to think about Sakura and how to find her. Sakura normally didn't disappear in the middle of the night without telling Kitten first, and Sakura always woke up later than Kitten did. This was weird indeed.

No it never gave a damn about me

As she thought more about Sakura, her mind wandered back to Roy. 'Why do I keep thinking about him? Maybe I really do like him!!' Kitten thought to herself. She shook her head; her hair was still a little damp. She continued to dry it and think more about everything. Every few moments her mind would shift to either Roy or Ed, Roy more often.

I know it's mad but if I went to hell would you go with me? Or would you just leave?

She kept forcing herself to think about Sakura, Kitten needed to find her. Not to mention she would need to tell Archer that Sakura would be late to work today as well. Kitten gulped at this fact. Sakura had seemed pretty scared of that man, and Kitten had never met him before. She had only seen glimpses of him in the halls and during training camp in the office. His skin was pale white and his eyes were cold and emotionless. He did seem like a creepy man, and Kitten hadn't even met him.

I know it's mad but if the world were ending would you kiss me? Or just leave me?

Kitten knew what she had to do, and she was trying to make sure her love-life thoughts didn't get in the way of her plans. She would figure out everything else when she was done finding Sakura and getting her to work.

Just leave me?

Kitten flipped the dryer off and unplugged it. She ruffled her hair to give it more body and changed into her uniform. Now she needed to go find her friend. Kitten set off down the hall, ignoring the whispers of some passing workers. She walked past the janitors closet and headed down to the second floor where Archer's office was. She walked quickly down the flight of stairs and looked at the nameplates until she found Archers. It had been written quickly. You could still make out the name under his if you looked hard enough. Archer had taken Hughe's place after he had been murdered. She hadn't heard the details of it, but she knew it had been bad. Kitten breathed deeply, remembering Sakura's fear of this man, and rapped three quick times on the door.

"Come in." Someone said from inside and Kitten creaked the door open.

"Hello sir." Kitten said and bowed in respect. Archer nodded and briefly told the person on the phone he was busy, and hung up.

"What did you want to talk to me about Kitsumi?" He asked and Kitten looked around the room, before looking at him. The room was dark; there weren't many lights on. The walls were filled of wartime photos and detailed diagrams of weapons.

"Well, Sakura-chan has kinda gone missing, so I'm going to try and find her. So she might be in a little late today. Sorry." Kitten said all in one breath, then exhaled sharply and Archer nodded.

"I see." He said slowly, and waved his hand in dismissal.

"That would be fine, just return her as soon as possible Ms. Kitsumi." Archer replied and smiled. His smile was haunting and Kitten shivered before she bowed for a second time.

"Thank you for your time Sir." She said and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her. Kitten was glad to be out of there, she didn't blame Sakura for being scared of him. He did have a certain vibe about him and made her feel uneasy. Archer leaned his elbow on the desk and supported his chin in his palm.

"You may think your safe now Kitsumi, with Mustang and Full Metal protecting you, but you're dead wrong." Archer said to himself and picked up the phone again. He might have lost his lead with one man, but he had moved onto another man who would prove to be a much better partner in his plan. He would rather be working with a fellow military worker and human, rather than the man he had tried to make plans with before. Working with a human would be easier, not to mention he was also a skilled alchemist. In the back of his mind he wondered how he could get revenge on that man that refused to work with him. 'To greedy he tells me; he doesn't want to share in the winnings. I shouldn't have told him anything, now I have someone else to worry about. Oh well, I doubt he will succeed, and he is only focusing on Kitsumi. I know more about this situation than that stupid brute does.' Archer thought to himself angrily. He tapped the numbers into the phone quickly and waited until someone picked up on the other end.
