Tohru looked up, seeing that Ed had lost his concentration. "Look out!!" She shrieked, "To your right!"
"Too late!" Envy yelled, his eyes wide and bright. His hand, now a long sword, dug itself into Ed side.
It hurts!It kept repeating over and over in Ed's head. But this gave him a chance. He then stabbed his automail straight through Envy's head. That will keep him down for at least a little bit. He thought.
Envy feel to the ground.
Ed stepped back a little, holding his side.
"Ed!" Tohru shrieked. She ran to his side, taking his arm and draping it over her shoulder. "Edward!" She choked out in a sob. She led him to the wall next to Kyo. "What should I do?" she murmured softly. Then she remembered the reason she had gotten on the roller coaster-the reason she had gone into this deserted haunted house-to stay with him-to never leave his side. She turned around and sat, staring at the motionless Envy.
"I'm alright." he said, his hand still at his side, though now covered in blood, "We just need to get out of here... now. Envy won't stay like that for too long." he said.
She looked at Envy and then looked at Ed. It was true, the blood was coming fast-it wasn't safe to let him keep bleeding like that-not to mention, poor Kyo was starving and could barely stand. She nodded her head and then helped both up, with care. They made their slow pace towards the exit.
Ed knew they had to hurry it up. If they didn't, Envy could easily kill them all.
They finally reached the exit, and Tohru lead them to a bench nearby. She ran towards a payphone, and put the money in. She then dialed 911.
"Hello? State your name and the emergency."
"Honda, Tohru, and I have two guys here-one is cut open on his side, and the other was starved for days-" she choked on her words-it was hard to keep calm.
"Location?"
"The local fairgrounds."
"Thank you we shall be there shortly."
Tohru hung up the phone and walked to the bench. She sat down in between them, while digging through her purse. She then took out a chocolate muffin, wrapped in saran wrap, and a piece of gauze. She handed the muffin to Kyo, who ravenously tore at the wrap, and gobbled the whole thing in less than two seconds. She turned to Ed, and gently began to wrap his side. As she did it, tears slipped fro her eyes. She hated to see both of them like this.
"You don't have to do this..." Ed said to her softly.
She gave him a weak smile, but continued wrapping. If she said anything, she would break.
"You might as well stop." he continued softly.
She just shook her head and kept on wrapping.
Ed sighed, he knew there was no use stopping her.
Envy rose up. "Damn brats!" he hissed. He looked over at Light, "Stupid human." he then made his way out of the mansion. He had his mind set on killing.
Tohru finished wrapping Ed's wound and sat down and waited for the ambulance.
Envy smiled, seeing the three of them sitting together. He ran over there, his hands now becoming huge swords as they stabbed through the bench and right through Kyo.
"NNNOOOO! KYO!" Tohru screamed bloody murdur. But what came over her face wasn't what one might expect from her. No, not sadness. Anger. She had to get that thing that had just killed one of her dearest friends. She ran full speed, and kicked Envy right in the face.
"Tohru, no!" Ed yelled. He knew Envy would do something to get even with that.
This pissed Envy off. He grabbed Tohru by the neck, "What?" he said with a smile, "Do you not like the color red? I think it's a wonderful color. Especially when it's covering meaningless humans."
"Let go of her!" Ed yelled to Envy as he clapped his hands together, changing his automail into a dagger-like weapon, cutting Envy's hand off, making him let go of her.
"Now, what was that for, Pipsqueak?" He asked as his hand grew back.
"DON"T CALL ME A PIPSQUEAK!" Ed yelled.
Tohru staggered backwards, her head down so no one could see her eyes. Her hand was shaking.
"Do you think..." she began, "Do you think you can actually get away with killing my friends and laugh it off?" She looked up, tears pouring down her face, "DO YOU ACTUALLY THINK YOU CAN KILL HIM WITH OUT ME KILLING YOU?!" She screamed it as loud as she could.
Suddenly, from around the corner, L came out, eating a lollipop he had just found in a trash can. "I think I have something he wants." He then reached into his pocket, and held out the philosophers stone.
Envy snickered and looked down at Tohru, "You can't kill me... what would ever give you the idea that you could?" he then looked over to L, "Yes, that is one thing that I want, and if you were smart, you'd hand it over right now!"
L snickered, tossing the stone in his hand. He slipped it in his pocket and then stepped in front of Envy. "If you want it so badly, come and get it!"
Tohru took a running leap, and kicked Envy, knocking him on the ground. "Take that!" she shrieked, "Don't ever touch my friends!"
Envy rose from where he laid, "I guess I'll just have to kill you all now! And you'll be the first to go, girl!" he said with a smile as he went straight for Tohru. Though, he was quickly blocked by Ed, "Tohru..." Ed said as he held Envy back, "please... just go! I don't... I don't want anything to happen to you! Please... I don't care if you don't want to. I... just don't want to see you hurt. I don't care if-" Ed was cut short on this sentence. Envy had pushed him back a little, but Ed quickly went back to keeping him from Tohru, "I don't care if you think you can handle this. I guess I'm just worried... worried that something could happen! Please... just go... go somewhere safer than here... just until this is over. Please Tohru!"
Just as Ed finished, Envy kicked him where he had cut Ed before, which resulted in reopening his wound. Ed fell to the ground. It hurt... Envy then kicked him, making him now to be lying on the ground.
"Stupid Pipsqueak." he said as he looked down at him, stomping his foot down on his chest.
Ed coughed hard, a little blood coming up.
Envy removed his foot and looked at Tohru with a smile, but then turned his head to L, "Don't worry, I will get that stone from you."
Tohru's face twisted with confusion for a second, but then went to realization. "Ed, do you want to stay with me forever?" she asked urgently.
Ed was silent for a moment. Did he? Well... he did... but would the other response make her leave... make her be safe... "Yes..." he said softly, "that's why I want you to run... so you won't get hurt."
Suddenly it dawned on her. She wasn't that strong after all. She couldn't help. Not until she had had training, that is. "ok." she whispered, and then she ran, ran as fast as she could, away, to where Edward would come and get her.
Ed stood up, shaky as Envy watched Tohru run, "Now it's the two of us. You can't hurt her now." he said. He was breathing hard.
Envy smiled, "It's not like it's going to help you any!" he said as he wrapped his hand around his neck, "I should kill you, too. Just to see what happens..." he said.
Tohru ran as fast as she could. Finally she reached the place she was planning on reaching-Central. She went bursting into Mustang's office-"Please! Edward, he needs help!" she shrieked.
Ed wrapped his hand around Envy's arm. He tried pulling at it, trying to make him let loose.
Envy picked him off the ground, a smirk on his face.
A group of soldiers and Mustang piled into the scene, Tohru behind them. Mustang used his fire on Envy's arm, forcing him to let go. "Get moving, Fullmetal," Mustang yelled at him, "Tohru and Armstrong will get you to the hospital."
Envy hissed dropping Ed to the ground. Guess it's time to make my exit, Envy thought. He quickly made his way out of there. He soon changed into a bird, flying off.
Ed lied unconscious, barley breathing, on the ground.
"Ed!" Tohru shrieked, rushing to his side. She collapsed next to him and began to sob. Armstrong came behind her, and picked her up as well as Ed. She was to much in an emotional state to manage walking on her own.
Back at the hospital, Tohru wouldn't leave his side. Every stir made her jump, but when he didn't wake up, she would start sobbing all over again. She wouldn't sleep, or eat, just watch him.
Alphonse came to the hospital as soon as he had heard what had happen. He found the room that Ed was in and saw that Tohru was right at his side. He wanted to know how Ed was doing, but thought it best that he not ask, at least not while Tohru could hear it.
Tohru began to nod off, but shook herself, yelling at herself to stay awake. Her eyelids were heavy, but she wouldn't close them. She was not going to, for one instance, fall asleep. If Ed woke up, and she was asleep, she would never forgive herself.
Al could see that Tohru was tired. He didn't know if it was best to say something or not, but he did, "Uh... Tohru, if you want to sleep, that's ok..." he said as he walked up next to her.
"No, I couldn't!" Tohru said in a strained voice, "If he was to wake up and I wasn't awake, I'd hate myself!" she sobbed from exhaustion.
"But don't you think that Ed would want you to sleep?" Al asked her, "He wouldn't want you doing this to yourself."
She shook her head. "Maybe so, but I couldn't bear it if I didn't see him open his eyes, and be there for him."
Al was silent for a moment, "But you have been there for him, and I know that Ed thinks that."
"But," Tohru got up to brush his bangs out of his face, "but, I-" she couldn't even finish her sentence, for right there, she fell backwards from exhaustion, and fell asleep on the cold floor.
"Tohru!" Alphonse said in a worried tone. He knelt down, seeing that she had fallen asleep. He gently picked her up then set her in a chair nearby Ed.
She slept peacefully. Or at least that's what it looked like. Inside, she knew that she had fallen asleep, and she was really mad at herself. She was just so tired.
Al sat down in a chair nearby. He continued looking at Ed, wishing he'd wake up. He was also wishing that he knew what all was wrong with him and if he'd be alright.
Alphonse sat there, more or less, waiting for probably hours, though he was use to it. He never slept anyways, so it always seemed like this. He soon started to look out the window. It was now night. After what seemed like a few more hours, he heard a stir coming from Ed. Al got up and went over to him.
Ed slowly opened his eyes. His body ached, horribly, and to match it, felt about the same. His head was throbbing. He was wishing that he wouldn't have woken up.
Tohru stirred, and then sat up, screaming. It was just a nightmare, just a nightmare, just a nightmare, she mumbled to herself.
"Tohru?" Al said as he went over to her.
Ed lied there. He had heard Tohru scream, but he knew he couldn't do anything.
When she looked at Al, her eyes were huge and panicky. A cold sweat had broken out all over her body. When she looked over at Ed, and saw that he was awake, a cry of relief broke out from her. She sat on his bed, and reached over to carefully hug him. Sobs came fast, as what she had dreamed hadn't been true.

Ed could tell she had been worried about him, though he already knew that she would be. At least she's ok, he thought to himself.
Tohru shuddered as the image replayed through her head. She had awoken, and Ed was dead on the bed. She had freaked out, screaming, kicking, and hating anyone who tried to take him away.
"Are you going to be ok?" Tohru asked, looking deep into his beautiful golden eyes.
"Yeah." he said in a cracked voice.
Tohru smiled. "I'm so happy!" she cried, hugging him once again.
Ed didn't say anything as she hugged him.
Tohru backed off again, sitting on the bed facing the wall. She almost laughed with the relief she held.
Ed didn't say anything for a second, but then spoke up, "So... Envy... didn't hurt you... did he?" he asked almost in a whisper.
Tohru looked at Ed, questioningly. In her own head, she was rushing through it. She remembered being almost strangled to death. Her throat was killing her. She wouldn't say anything, though, as she didn't want him to worry. "I'm fine!" Tohru gave him a sweet smile.
Ed gave a soft smile, "That's good." he said softly.

Oh, and PLEASE don't bite my head off because of killing you-know-who ...
