Chapter 10

"Plan?" Blaze asked as she and the Elric brothers stood inside an alleyway next to a store. Ed got a sinister look on his face as Al looked at him with worry.

"Blaze, it's time to play dress up." He simply stated rubbing his hands together. Al and Blaze looked at each other with strange looks, not catching his point. Ed then rushed out of the alley and in a few minutes he came back with two maidens. They squealed in delight and then grabbed Blaze's hands and lead her to the streets.

"What the Hell? Get off me!" She yelled as she struggled to get away from the swarming women. "Ed! What did you do?" She yelled. Ed snickered as Al punched his brother in the arm. "Brother, why is Blaze being carried away?"

"Well for a make over of course. That thief wants a beautiful maiden, he'll get one. She just needs a few... er... touch-ups that's all. And these women offered to help us."

"So your calling Blaze ugly?" Al questioned in shock. Ed quickly blushed and waved his arms in the air.

"No, no, no, no, no! I never said that. She just needs a few... um... womanly touches, that's all."

"So your calling her a boy?" Al crossed his arms.

"No! I never said that! She just needs a new dress and makeup! Damn Al, why do you have to be so difficult?" Ed yelled as he stormed down the street opposite of which Blaze was going. Al shook his head and sighed and then followed his brother.

"What now you bastard? What's the plan?" The now upgraded Blaze called as the trio, once again, met up in the alleyway at nine o'clock at night. She was wearing a black dress with long sleeves and the hem trailed down, only a few centimeters from the ground. Under the sleek coverup, she wore her black combat boots because she threatened the women who dressed her to leave them on. Her face had no makeup except her tickle me pink lips, but her long waist length hair was braided into a fairly large bun on the back of her head. "Edward!"

Ed was snapped from his trance when he was looking at Blaze. He quickly hid his blush and cleared his throat. "Okay, uh, you look, uh, cool! Yeah cool. You just need one thing." He said as he pulled a red ring from hid pocket. But not just any ring, it had red and orange flame design on the center that was 3-D. The ring band itself was a midnight color and had silver sparkles engraved in the mix. "Made fresh from Alchemy!"

Blaze stared at the ring then blinked a few times. Then she took the ring but then Ed quickly snatched it back. "Allow me." He said. He then slipped the ring on her right ring finger and waited for Blaze's reaction. She lifted her hand up to her face and glanced at it.

"Hm, not that bad." She said plainly as she dropped her hand by her side again. Ed stared at her with a gaped mouth.

"W-what? That's it?" He stuttered while Al just minded his own business.

"Sure is Beansprout. Now let's get this over with, this dress is not my style."

"Ungrateful little-" Ed paused when the trio heard a low rustle from somewhere close by. Ed and Al looked at each other and nodded. Ed then turned towards Blaze and lightly punched her shoulder. "Good luck Blaze!" He whispered.

"Won't need it." She spat back as she turned and walked away from the brothers who jumped into a closed shop window. Blaze strutted into the road with the streetlamps illuminating her path. Her black dress stopped following her when she halted to a stop when a soft pitter patter noise echoed throughout the silent town. Blaze whipped her head around to find a toned shadow standing right behind her.

"Hello young man." She said in a seductive voice. Ed and Al threatened before hand for Blaze to lure the thief to her. But at heart, all Blaze wanted to do was to give this guy a death glare, beat him senselessly, and call him a stalkish pervert. But then again, she wanted to help this town with its problem and she couldn't scare away the target. "What brings you here at this time at night?"

"I should ask the same for you, beautiful lady." He smoothly replied back as he stepped into the light. The man was about Blaze's age, maybe older, his tanned skin glowing in the lamplight with his fire colored hair was in a nice looking mess on top of his head. Everything he wore was a dark red color, which was his long sleeved shirt, pants and red leather boots. Damn, he's nice looking. Blaze thought to herself as she watched the man come face to face with her.

"I must say, you have a very special ring, pretty woman. Very colorful and... red. May I ask your name?" He asked as wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her closer to him. Blaze could feel herself boiling over, trying to fight the urge to punch him in the face. But instead she played along.

"The name's Blaze handsome." She called to him while she ran a finger along his jaw line. He grinned as he leaned closer to her mouth to plant a kiss on her lips but Blaze saw this coming. She pushed her index finger on the surface of his lips and his eyes shot open.

"Uh-uh tall, red, and handsome. This is a package deal." She called to him as she fluttered her eyelids at the crimson clothed teen. He looked surprised but it was quickly replaced by lustful eyes; staring down on Blaze. She shook this off and leaned closer to his ear. "Tell me who you really are." She whispered into his ear, dropping her 'innocent girl alone in the street' act.

From the corner of her eye, she could see his face darken and his features tense. He suddenly grabbed Blaze's shoulder with one hand and punched her in the stomach with the other one. She gasped for air but wasn't out of the fight just yet. She wiggled out of his grasp and landed a right hook on his torso. He didn't seem phased by the punch but instead he started to chuckle and got progressively louder.

"What's so Damn funny?" Blaze shouted at him, already in her fighting stance. When he stopped, his eyes were totally black and sharp teeth prodded from his mouth. "What the Hell are you?" She yelled again.

"Heh heh! You really want to know? Well I guess my secret is out. I am a Half Demonic-blood!" Blaze's eye widened as she reached into her boot and pulled out her signature dagger. "My name is Dylan Lotus! And that pathetic jewel thief that you and those midget alchemists have been hunting for, is dead. I devoured him when he tried to kill me when he saw that I witnessed his recent crime. Hmmm, fear. I can smell it emitting from your body! How pathetic, the female warrior is afraid of a dragon boy!"

"Who do you work for? Tell me you bastard!" Blaze screamed as she circled around Dylan.

Inside a closed shop, lay Ed and Al, waiting for the perfect time to jump in to save Blaze if she's in trouble. "We should help her! Brother, let me go!" Al whispered to Ed as he held onto him.

"No! We don't know what we're up against! And Blaze can handle herself, she's a big girl." Ed whispered back and held his brother down. "For now, we wait."

"Who do I work for? Ha! That, Blaze McDuffie, is my little secret!"

"How do you know my full name? Tell me!" Blaze said fuming.

"Ah, ah, ah! If you go around yelling like that to people you've known for ten minutes, you'll never get anywhere in life!" Dylan teased as he stood there with his arms open; provoking Blaze to come and hit him. She took the bait.

She advanced him in seconds but Dylan was faster. With her dagger raised she tried to strike him in the heart but missed when he zipped out of the way with lightning speed. He grabbed the dumbfounded Blaze's arm with the dagger in it and twisted it at an odd angle. She cried out in pain as the dagger fell to the floor as Dylan laughed.

"They said you were the most brutal, merciless person I'll ever meet! But apparently, they were wrong! You're just a useless human being like the rest!" He laughed. Blaze's eyes widened and she grit her teeth.

"I'm not like the rest! I'm not USELESS! Don't you ever call me USELESS!" She snarled as she broke out of his grip, picked up her dagger, and stabbed him in the stomach. He gasped in pain and collapsed to the ground in a heap of a bloody, red mess. Blaze stood there panting as she withdrew her dagger from his six pack abs.

She turned towards the direction of where the Elrics were hiding out and shouted, "Get your lazy asses out here Elrics!" Soon the brothers hopped out of the window and ran up to Blaze.

"You killed him?" Al asked with a horrified look on his face.

"I'm... pretty... pretty s-sure." Blaze stuttered as she started to sway in the air until she fell into the muscular Edward's arms.

"What the- She got slashed in her back! We have to get her to Granny!" Ed yelled as he carried her bridal style. Her blood dribbled down and mixed into Dylan's blood which pooled onto the sidewalks and doorsteps of stores. Once the trio was out of sight and out of town, Dylan sat up from his crusted blood state.

"Man, I got to regenerate faster. Oh great, looks like they're gone! What now Pride?" Dylan said as he turned his eyes to normal again and flicked off crusted pieces of blood and dirt. Then out of the shadows came a ten year old boy with elongated shadows with large eyes prodding from his back and arms.

"For now Dylan of the Demon-blood, we wait until we have another chance to get the cursed girl. Envy will understand your petty failure." Pride said, still in the lamplight.

"Hey it wasn't my fault! It was the fuc-" Pride's dark shadow came to Dylan's neck, a very sharp tip pressing against his regenerative skin. But he wouldn't regenerate if hi head was decapitated. "You wouldn't." He choked out.

"Oh, I would. Because you mean nothing to me and Envy. You're just our little errand boy that can't even capture a teenage Ishvalan! So if you don't bring her back to us by the end of the week, we will 'fire' you! Understand?" Pride explained.

"Oh, I understand alright. Now let me do my job!" Dylan spat as he grew long pointed black wings and flew off. Pride then faded into the shadows and the street was cleansed of any memory of a murderous fight taken place.

Cool right? I'm open to any suggestions/ reviews. :)
