Chapter 2

The Journey Stops

Lust and Gluttony after getting off the rail car wandered to a near bye town. In the town they found nothing but abandoned buildings and a bloody well with bones in it. She and Gluttony looked down the well in aw. Gluttony looked down the well and started to drool.

"Lust? What happened to the people here? Can I eat the remains? PLEASE?!" Gluttony whimpered as he asked Lust.

"No. Gluttony is that all you can think about is eating?" Lust said her eyes were full of hatred and anger.

"I know why Gluttony if you must know…Once when I passed through this town I met a man named Lujon. He was young beautiful and reminded me of my boy friend when I was a human in my first life. I… I did some thing NICE I gave Lujon a piece of the stone. I gave it to Lujon as a gift to save his town from a horrible disease which turned them into stone statues…after I gave Lujon the stone he fell in love with me when he had a fiance. The girl was young and beautiful on the day of his wedding he ran after me into the forest when I left the town.

He kissed me and his fiance ran in after him and saw him kiss me. She was so sad to see her husband a couple of minutes before she was married, kiss another woman. I had to break the stone us homunculi can't love Gluttony we just can't. I broke the stone and right after the whole town started to die do to the disease. As Lujon's fiance ran twards him she turned into stone and then Lujon dove onto her as she turned into stone Lujon lasted a day longer than the rest of the town.

The reason they died…IT WAS MY FAULT I broke the stone on the ring! And it was horrible! And all my fault…" Lust said as a tear started to role down her cheek. Gluttony was so surprised to see Lust crying. Lust had never been this emotional or caring before he was in shock.

"My poor Lust…" Gluttony said as he walked over and leaned his head onto Lusts breasts trying to comfort her.

"Come on Gluttony you can't go soft…ah all better now. Thank you." Lust said as she started to walk off tward a cabin. The cabin had a corpse and rocks all over the front step. They walked in. Gluttony immediately ran tward the kitchen and raided the fridge eating all the spoiled food.

"Gluttony…never mind, do what you wish." Lust said then she froze.

"Lu-Lujon…" Lust stammered and stood in aw staring at the picture which was stained and it's glass broken.

"No, No!" Lust screamed and ran toward the picture frame. She grabbed the frame and threw it at Gluttony.

"Eat you! Eat the god damn picture Gluttony! EAT IT NOW!" Lust was now enraged and screaming at Gluttony.

"No." Gluttony said "I won't, I can't. My Lust loved him. You did Lust, you did." Gluttony said trying to calm Lust down.

"NO I DIDN'T GLUTTONY! JUST EAT THE GOD DAMN PICTURE! I CAN'T LOVE! I CAN'T! I WON'T! I'LL NEVER!" Lust this point was over the edge she had no more sanity she was loosing it and destroying the cabin. "Damn it, I can't take the pain I murdered them all, every one of them." Lust was calming down. She passed out and laid on the floor motionless.

"God she is such a softie but so pretty." a man in a vest that had a fur collar and had buldging muscles said as he appeared leaning against the wall.

"Greed…What did you do to my Lust!?" Gluttony raced tward Greed with his mouth open getting ready to eat him.

"Now why would I hurt some one so pretty. I mean please I'm Greed all I want is status, power, women and every thing else the world is offering. Well vengance on all of you Homunculi too for helping that bitch Dante lock me up for a thousand years but I'll get that soon." Greed told Gluttony as he jumped in the air. "Your going to need to better than that Gluttony." Greed said.

"I'll do it for my Lust you hurt her!" Gluttony tried to strike Greed again. Gluttony was running out off energy and just sat down next to Lust stroking her hair and talking to him self.

"Don't worry Lust. You'll be better. We will get Greed for hurting you. Yes we will!" Gluttony said talking to her lying on the floor.

"Gluttony, Gluttony, Gluttony you are so pathetic." Greed said looking down on him.

"Don't worry Lust I'll get him." Gluttony said and he started to rock back and forth in fetal posisition.

"How pathetic. I guess it is time for me to move on I'm going to get the Philosepher's stone all for my self and make Dante beg for it. Her body is rotting as we speak. I should go find Envy and tell him to say by to his bitch of a mother." Greed said with a smirk.

Gluttony watched as Greed walked out the door and then got up and slammed the door. He started pushing furniture in front of the windows and doors. As he was pushing the furniture Lust murmered "I did. I did Gluttony. I LOVED." and she passed out once more as Gluttony finally heard her. Gluttony ran tword her and started running his hands through her long black mane.

"I will not let anyone hurt my Lust again!" said Gluttony and he fell asleep.

In the morning Lust awoke early and she started a hot bath. "Ah so refreshing, it feels good to finally stop and take time to enjoy what the world has to offer." she said as she washed her self.

Gluttony ran in and was over joyed from seeing Lust awake and healthy.

"Lust…are you better." Gluttony asked her and she smiled.

"Yes Gluttony you took good care off me and didn't eat me." said Lust as she started to get out of the bath. Gluttony stood in aw staring at Lust as she wrapped her self in a towel.

"So Gluttony did I miss any thing important? Did any thing happen while I was passed out? Lust asked Gluttony as she started getting dressed.

"N-no n-not a lot Greed came." Gluttony said staring at her breast.

"What did he want?" Lust asked Gluttony and went on preparing her self for the day.

"N-nothing. Greed wanted nothing. He just came." Gluttony said as lust put on her make up.

"I see well…get ready to go we can't stay here much longer it is to dangerous." Lust said. There was no danger. She just couldn't take the pain of being in Lujon's house. The two walked down stairs and Gluttony ate through the clutter blocking the entrance. They walked out of the town and into the woods. They found a trail that said "Forbidin Woods."

"Shall we Gluttony?" Lust asked staring into the trail.

"I don't know." Gluttony said and he stared at Lust.

Lust started to walk down the trail. Gluttony soon followed her. They passed strange stones along the way with perplexing markings. They looked like some sort of anchient hieroglyphics.

"Lust what does it say?" Gluttony said as he came to a stop.

"How would I know Gluttony? Ask Dante when we see her she is anchient." Lust said in disgust.

They kept on walking. Gluttony ocassionaly stopped and asked what the stone said and Lust told him the same answer over and over again that she did not know. Some thing was in the woods. Some thing was there in their presence.

"Lust can we go back to the town I'm hungry." Gluttony asked and looked at Lust

She turned her head away from him and said "No, we are to far along."

"But Lust-" Gluttony was cut off.

"No buts Gluttony!" Lust said with anger. She was starting to get angry and Gluttony new when Lust yelled at him she was angry. Gluttony quickly shut up and started to lag behind trying to get Lust to slow down or stop so he could eat some thing. Finally they came to a fork in the road and they had three choices to go. Lust didn't stop to think and choose the path to the right.

"I have a feeling that Dante is here." Lust said and she started to take longer strides down the path.

"But Lust…" Gluttony said as if he were exaughsted.

But this didn't make Lust slow down she kept moving. They finally came to a mansion. Lust stared at and then said "That bitch Dante is here. I can sense it." She ran to the door and broke in.

"Oh hello may I help you? Are you here to see Ms. Dante?" A woman with short dark black hair said.

"I'm here to see Dante get out of the way Lyra." Lust was getting angry.

"Okay I will take you in to see her Lust." Said Lyra compromising easily. Lyra led Lust and Gluttony into a library full of books.

"Excuse me while I go tell Dante you are here." Lyra said as she walked off up the stairs. While Lyra was gone Lust observed the walls of the library. She had never seen so many books in one room in her life. Lyra came back down the stairs.

"Dante will see you now." she said. Lust and Gluttony walked up the stairs to find a small door which Gluttony could barley fit through. As they walked in an elderly woman was sitting behind a desk.

"Hello my beautiful Lust. Hello my cute little Gluttony." said Dante.

"Hello Dante…" Lust replied and Gluttony ran off as he saw a mouse in the corner.

"Please sit my dear. You are looking beautiful. How is your search going?" Dante said she always spoke sarcastically and always complimented you.

"I'm done working for you. You are a cold hearted bitch. I hope you rot in hell, you old hag!" Lust had fire burning in her eyes. "I'm done trying to find the stone for you . I will look for it and keep it to turn me human."

"Lust if you found me the stone…Well you know I would use it for you before me you are like my child." Dante said trying to coax Lust into staying on the search and giving the stone to her.

"The only one of us who is your child is that transvestite Envy! I hate you! Why couldn't you let me die? You bitch!" Lust at this point was enraged. "I'll never give you the god damn stone even if it does exist and I find it. I will turn the homunculi human before I save you from dying!"

"Lust those things that you say hurt me. I only care about you and the others, not my self. My first use of the stone is going to be to turn you human." said Dante blankly as usual.

"You lying bitch." Lust said and spit on Dante.
