I love how I changed the title to this story twice. -.- First it was 'A Girl's Best Friend' then I changed it to 'Uso' which means 'Lies' in Japanese, finally I changed it back to 'A Girl's Best Friend'. The title will stay what is now, because I love the way it sounds ^3^ tehehe. Thank you to those who put this on 'Story Alert', I appreciate it :3 I hope you end up liking and I would love getting some feedback ^^ This chapter is mostly about Martel and Dorochet talking and watching over the new kid. ^W^ There are NOT enough stories about the Devil's Nest and I LOVE them all! Even Bido! Most people who DO have stories on them forget to add the lizard man! -_- Well enjoy this chapter ^^ super short chapter btw :(
Warning: There may be some OOC…. Plz, bear with me! I do try…. Sometimes?
Quick Question: Is Dorochet short? I can never tell…. And his eyes are greenish right? (In Brotherhood)
Btw this takes place in Brotherhood ^W^ Dorochet peed on one leg once, if you don't believe me watch Brotherhood Episode 13 :D
A Girl's Best Friend
By: Xia Mizuki (Pen Name)
Chapter Two
It's not like I want to go back to
The way things were back then.
I'm just searching for the sky
I've been losing.
Here's hoping you'll understand.
Stop making that sad face as if you
Were a victim.
Sins don't end with tears,
You have to carry the pain forever,
Who am I waiting for in this maze of emotions?
Again by YUI
Martel sighed quietly and stared down at the girl breathing raggedly, she had cleaned all her wounds bandaged her all up to resemble a mummy of some sort. But this was absolutely nothing to laugh at, most of her bones had been broken, her leg, her right arm, a few ribs. The snake chimera was beginning to wonder just what had happened to the teen.
Sitting in front of the snake woman was Dorochet who was also staring blankly down at the girl with his mesmerizing green orbs. His eyebrows furrowed a bit as he too began to wonder what had happened to the poor girl. It had been almost a full day since she and their boss Greed had come in, it was a few minutes until midnight would strike on the clock. And yet no progress, her breathing hadn't calmed down, and she was beginning to get a fever, and worst of all….
She hadn't woken up.
"Damn it! When is she going to wake up!" Dorochet finally shouted in frustration while throwing his head back and growling a bit, animal instincts taking over for a brief moment.
"Do you expect her to wake up? She was pretty beat up, I wouldn't expect her to wake up any time soon."
But Martel herself was a bit worried at the girl's condition, she desperately prayed silently to herself that the teen would soon open her eyes, even a small crack would ease the tension. Martel felt an immediate link to the girl, she was a chimera as well, therefore had gone through the hell she had too. But she didn't recognize the girl, none of the chimeras had, she was defiantly not from Lab 5. But did any of them honestly expect her to be? She was too young to be part of the military and the Ishvalan war. She should've been a toddler back at the time, but nevertheless they were all restless at her condition.
Dorochet's ears began to twitch the slightest bit, and Martel had been staring at him at this point finding it a bit depressing to look at the girl any longer, and knew what this meant. His sensitive ears were picking up on something. And she could already guess what the nuisance was.
"She wake up yet?" asked a voice from the door way, almost on cue.
"No Greed, she hasn't yet. Stop asking every five minutes." snapped Martel who was starting to wary from the annoying homunculus. If he cared so damn much, he could stay right in this room and wait with them. The purple eyed man scratched the back of his head and wobbled over to take a seat next to the dog chimera.
"I was just hoping she would've woken up. No need to be rude to your savior." joked Greed with a sly smirk. Martel gritted her teeth, wanting to say something but knowing he was right, if it hadn't been for him, who knows where she would've been and the others as well. For a long while, the trio merely sat there while staring down at the girl who's breathing began to even out, as Martel reached out, a smile curled her full lips when she felt her fever go down. Maybe there was some hope after all.
"We need to get more medicine for her fever." Martel whispered while standing to her full height and walking out of the room.
"Does she have any money?" Dorochet asked the homunculus.
"Nope."
"…"
"…."
"Greed, I think she took your wallet."
"What? When could she have done that?"
"She's part snake Greed."
"…."
"…."
"Damn. I'm going to go get my wallet back, stay here." Greed growled under his breath and stalked out of the room while cursing under his breath. Dorochet and flinched when Greed's yelling filled the building.
"GIVE ME MY WALLET!"
His ears rang quite a bit and a whimper left the lips of the chimera as he gently rested his head on top of the girl's stomach.
"The things you'll have to put up with."
