I sighed as I stood at the train station. After a few days of catching up with each other, Ed and Al were off to research and investigate a couple of things in Dublith apparently. The time slipped through our hands. One minute we were laughing and teasing each other in my apartment and now here I am, seeing them off as they gone on their adventures. ''Make sure to call me when you get there and say hello to Izumi and Sig for me,'' I said to Alphonse outside the train. About a year after I had left I trained with Izumi Curtis. Apparently she taught Ed and Al as well. Izumi, in all honesty, was like a second mother to me and I was the daughter she unfortunately never had. Al nodded and smiled holding my hand through the train window. I turned to Edward, who was looking away. I knew he was sad that we only had a just a few days together. ''And Ed, take care of yourself and Alphonse,'' I said, making him look at me.
''Same to you, try and stay alive until we get back Leah,'' Ed nodded with a smirk.
A tall figure stood by my side protectively. I looked up and smiled at Roy. He nodded my brothers off in his usual serious demeanor. ''I won't let anything hurt her Fullmetal,'' he winked flirtatiously at me. Ed growled, narrowing his golden hues. ''Hey Mustang hands off my sister, pervert!'' he shook his fist out the window. I laughed at his brotherly protectiveness. Oh god, I can't imagine their reaction if they ever saw Roy seriously flirt with me. Especially when it involves miniskirts.
''Oh and Ed I expect some nieces and nephews sometime soon,'' I nodded over to Winry who was sleeping next to Ed.
His face went from its usual color to one that rivaled the redness of a tomato. ''S-Shut up Leah! And I don't expect any nieces or nephews from you anytime soon!'' he pointed at Roy who simply shrugged and smirked in response. ''Who knows Fullmetal?'' he wrapped an arm around my waist, teasingly waving Ed and Al goodbye.
''HEY!'' they both protested as the train whistled, letting us know our parting moment was near.
''Stay safe, or I'll freaking crawl to Dublith to bring you home!'' I threatened, making them both smile. As the train began moving I waved goodbye to them, both of them returning my waves. ''Bye! I love you!'' I called. A sad smile graced my lips as my dark brown hair covered my eyes. A few tears streamed down my cheeks. Roy put his hand on my shoulder to comfort me. ''Hey Leah, don't be sad they'll come back soon,'' he said gently. I looked at him, smiling softly as more tears cascade down my face.
''I'm not sad, I'm crying because I'm so happy. Now that I know they're ok and well, that's all I needed to know. I just needed to see for myself that they were ok and alive,'' I sniffled.
Roy smiled softly and nodded, hugging me. ''Let's head back to Central,'' he said. I nodded, following him. ''You know your brother had the right idea about nieces and nephews,'' Roy said after a couple of minutes of silence. My amber eyes twitched when I felt his arm wrap itself around my waist and suddenly go a bit lower than necessary. I sighed, snapping my fingers. A couple of shadows grabbed Roy's arm gently and removed it from my waist, making him pout like a child. ''Don't make me get Riza to shoot you,'' I threatened jokingly. He laughed. ''She probably would to,'' he agreed. ''Can you blame her? You make her do all of your paperwork!'' I laughed. We continued laughing and talking all the way back to Central.
As I walked to my desk I stopped when I noticed Hughes packing a few things up. ''It's a little early for spring cleaning don't you think?'' I smiled. He smiled and stopped, turning to face me. ''I'm just packing a few things up, I'm going away for a while,'' he admitted making my jaw drop. ''Why?'' I asked in shock. ''To be perfectly honest, something is not right here Leah. And I have a feeling that the military is hiding something,'' he said seriously. My face became serious. ''Yeah, I've been noticing it to. Does Mustang know you're leaving?'' I asked, leaning against the doorframe. He nodded. ''Yeah he knows, and he thinks someone around here is planning something big,'' he said. ''God, maybe I should've stayed at Briggs,'' I sighed frustrated. He smiled when he saw my sad face. ''Don't worry Leah I'll be back as soon as I'm done researching a few things. Until then watch out for Elysia and Gracia for me,'' he hugged me. I smiled and nodded. ''Of course,'' I said as I walked out. 'So it's not just me. Roy and Maes have noticed things have gotten weird to,' I thought as I continued my walk. I was so wrapped up in my thoughts I didn't notice myself run into someone. ''Oh my gosh I am so sorry!'' I looked up and widened my eyes and felt my mouth drop.
''It's quite alright Ms. Elric,'' Fuhrer Bradley smiled.
I felt my muscles tense but faked a smile. ''Hello sir, I apologize for bumping into you,'' I bowed my head a bit in respect. I didn't trust Fuhrer Bradley, not in least. There was just something about the aura he gave off, it made me uneasy. ''It's all right Shadow Alchemist, but are you all right? You seem uneasy,'' he asked. I stared at him, well at his eye patch to be exact. What is he hiding? ''I can honestly say I'm perfectly fine sir,'' I smiled. He nodded, dismissing me. As he walked past me I looked at him from the corner of my eye. 'Something isn't right about him, I can sense it,' I growled mentally. ''Leah?'' a voice snapped me out of my deep thoughts. I looked and smiled, seeing Riza standing there. ''You ok? Colonel didn't try promoting the miniskirt idea again did he?'' she sweat dropped. ''No, I was just thinking, don't worry I'm fine,'' I laughed.
~*~*~*~*~*~Later at Night~*~*~*~*~*~*
I let out a small yawn as I closed the door to my apartment, locking it. ''Damn paper work, you suck,'' I muttered. I was too busy yanking off my military uniform I didn't notice the window was open or the pair of violet eyes watching me in the dark. I glanced at the couch and sighed, missing my brothers. 'I just hope Izumi doesn't kill them,' I thought, smirking to myself. I walked to my decently-sized bathroom. As I splashed the nice, cold water on my face I looked up at the only picture I had of my family. It was taken a long time ago. Ed was barely four years old and Alphonse barely three. My mother was healthy at the time and my father was still with us. My father held Edward and my mother held Al. The arms that didn't hold them were grasping my hands. My face was full of innocence and happiness. My long brown hair was shorter than it was now, and slightly wavy. My eyes watered when I looked at my father and mother. I hesitantly reached up to touch the picture. My slim fingers lightly touched the frame before I pulled back and sighed shakily.
''Why'd you all have to go?'' I muttered, trying my best not to cry.
'''Aw, poor little alchemist. All alone and defenseless,'' a cold, cruel voice made me jump.
I looked around the apartment to find where the intruder was lurking. ''Who are you?'' I growled. Even though I refused to show it, I was terrified. How could I find something in darkness, and did I really want to find them? ''Who am I? I am so glad you asked Leah,'' the voice chuckled, this time closer to me. My hand felt along the wall to find the light switch. When I finally felt it and flipped on the switch I gasped. There, barely two feet away from me was a man. He looked around the same age as me, with long dark green hair and violet eyes. He wore a tight shirt that exposed his abs and a skort? He chuckled lowly. ''Aw are you afraid of me doll face?'' he teased. I cringed but my eyes flickered to the man's shadow. ''Why the hell would I be afraid of you? And what are you? And why the hell are you in my apartment? And why are you wearing a skirt?'' I growled, annoyed. His eye twitched. ''It's not a skirt damn it! And-,'' in a flash he pinned me to the wall.
''The names Envy,'' he grinned deviously.
My eyes widened when I remembered Al's words. 'Brother had a malfunction when he was fighting with the Homunculus Envy.' ''Y-You're one of them,'' I gasped in realization. He smirked. ''Beauty and brains. You're fun already my little toy,'' he said. I fought back a shiver when I felt his hot breath against my neck. ''And you're the one who hurt my brother,'' I growled in anger. ''Bingo, not that it was much of a challenge. The Fullmetal Pipsqueak isn't exactly much of a challenge,'' he laughed. My amber eyes hardened and I clenched my fists. No one, and I mean no one insults my family. I looked at his shadow once again and snapped my fingers. In an instant Envy was thrown off of me, across the room. As he jumped to his feet and dashed to me my arm transformed into a sword, surrounded by black smoke. The second he was about the grab my neck, the blade was pressed against his. He froze in utter shock. He then grinned. ''So you're not another pathetic human. You're feisty, good I love a challenge,'' he smirked.
I clenched my jaw. ''You were stupid to think otherwise, and even more stupid to insult my family,'' I spoke calmly, my eyes never leaving his. He stepped away, but I kept my sword drawn just in case. He circled me, like a vulture. I carefully watched him in confusion. ''You're strong, I'll give you that. But just how strong are you doll face?'' he smirked, a spark in those beautiful purple eyes of his. Wait beautiful? No, bad Leah! He's the enemy! ''Why- oof!'' I huffed when he tripped me, making me fall on my butt on the hardwood floor. I crawled back, trying to get as far away from Envy as I could. I grunted when my back collided with the mint green wall. He laughed, slowly approaching me. When he did, he kneeled down to my level. ''I've got go but it was a pleasure meeting you doll face, who knows what kind of fun you'll have for me next time,'' he said, that damn cocky smirk of his never leaving his face. My eyes widened. ''Next time?!'' I shrieked. He laughed like it was the funniest thing in the world. Who knows? To him it probably was.
''See ya later doll face,'' he leaned in close to me. Too close for my liking.
Before I could protest he slammed his lips onto mine in a bruising kiss. ''Mmf!'' I yelled, only for Envy to muffle my screams. And even while I'm flailing my arms around like some deranged bird, that damn cocky smile of his never left his face. Just when I was getting light headed he broke away from me, standing up. ''Not bad doll face, but they'll be plenty of opportunities to make you a pro,'' he chuckled, walking away. As I slowly got up, still slightly panting from his kiss, he turned back to face me. ''Sweet dreams my Shadow Alchemist,'' he chuckled before disappearing out my window. I just stared at the window, in shock and confusion. I then got an anime angry mark.
''He never answered why he was in here!'' I yelled to myself.
My eyes bugged out of my head and I swear my face turned 40 shades of red. And why did I blush so hard you ask? Well-
''THAT PERVERT UN-HOOKED MY BRA!''
~*~*~*~*~Special OVA #1- Roy tries Getting Leah in a Miniskirt ~*~*~*~*~*~*
''You wanted to see me Colonel?'' I asked walking into his office. Behind him I saw Hawkeye shaking her head 'no' as if I walked into a house of horrors. I quirked a brow but turned my attention to Roy who sat at his desk with a serious expression on his face. ''Yes Leah I have come up with a very important plan that involves you,'' he spoke, and I listened carefully.
''Well what is it sir?'' I asked.
He stood, a hand behind his back, holding something. I held out my hands, expecting it to be a gun or communication device. I did an anime fall when I found out it was a miniskirt.
''Um sir this is a miniskirt,'' I did an anime sweat drop.
''Yes, yes it is,'' he replied, still looking serious.
''And you want me to do what with this?'' I blinked slowly.
''Wear it of course,'' he said.
Riza smacked her forehead in both pity and amazement.
''And why would I wear this?'' I waved the light material in front of his face.
''You see Leah I have a dream,'' Roy began.
''Here we go again,'' Riza and Hughes rolled their eyes.
''A dream where all female officers will wear tiny miniskirts!'' he exclaimed seriously, fist in the air.
Maes, Riza, and I anime fell together as Havoc saluted Roy. ''In the name of justice wear this miniskirt Leah!'' Mustang pointed to the clothing in my hand. I looked at it and smirked. ''Well if it's in the name of justice then why don't you wear it Colonel?" I grinned. Roy gulped. ''Come on Mustang you're always preaching about justice, so go on!'' I tossed the clothing in his face and sat down, satisfied.
A few minutes later Fuery and Breda walked into my office looking green, ''What's wrong guys?'' I blinked. ''Can you explain why Colonel Mustang is wearing a miniskirt?'' Breda looked like he was going to puke. Havoc then entered my office with a disturbed expression.
''You've ruined miniskirts for me for the rest of my life!" he declared dramatically.
I rolled my eyes. ''So why is Colonel Mustang wearing a miniskirt?'' Fuery asked. I turned to him and answered in a serious tone:
''Because Colonel Mustang looks dead sexy in a miniskirt.
