FMA DN Angel FF-
Well…no one stalked me down, so I'm good now and I'm writing my next chapter, I'm sorry this keeps taking so much time to write but I am soooo easily distracted and…yah…well here's the next chapter! I hope you enjoy it! TIME FOR THE THEFT!
Chapter 9-
"And people say my outfits are ridiculous." Ed grumbled as I came out, dressed in my favorite heist outfit (The black and white sleeveless one), I glared at him,
"If you think this is strange you should see what Kraddy—" something heavy knocked against the back of my head and I yelped, spinning around and glaring at the offender. "THAT WASN'T NICE!" I shouted childishly.
"That was the point Dark." My other half sighed,
"Oh hush you." Dai sighed and I glared at Krad, gesturing to his stupid outfit,
"See? I'm right." I declared. Ed eyed Krad, his outfit before looking away, deciding not to say anything at all, I rolled my eyes and glared at Krad, who just scowled back,
"See, you scare people, this is why you have no friends." I chirped. Everyone in the room sighed (Krad growled),
"Why are you so chipper Dark?" Al asked. I smiled winningly at him,
"'Cause I get to go steal something!" I cheered, everyone (save Krad…again…) sweatdropped,
"I think there may be something wrong with you." I gasped, acting appalled.
"The nerve!" everyone groaned and I flounced over to the map, plopping down and memorizing it one last time, scanning it over boredly,
"If there are no traps this is going to be way to boring." I smirked and glanced at Krad, "Hey blue boy!" I called, knowing he can hear me, "You wanna make this more interesting?" Krad rolled his eyes and listened to his tamer,
"He says that's it's a waste of time." Krad smirked devilishly, "Though I would be more than happy to make things…interesting." I frowned, pretending to consider it,
"No."
I turned away and rubbed my hands together, looking over at the Amestirans.
"Okay, Ed will be coming with Kraddykins and I, the rest of you…well I really don't care what you do, this entire plan is pointless anyway, I can easily get it on my own." Ed rolled his eyes,
"So we've heard, but I don't really believe you, you're just single person, you can't do everything by yourself." Envy, Al and Mustang stared at the short disguised blond,
"That…is the most hypocritical statement I have ever heard pipsqueak!" Envy laughed,
"Actually the most hypocritical statement is 'Don't tell me what to do.'" I informed them boredly, they stared at me but I shrugged and glanced around, "Now where's Wiz…" I closed my eyes and called for my little white familiar, waiting for him to appear.
He shot through the window an few minutes later, landing on my shoulder in my wing's form.
"Hey Wiz! Where've you been?" he 'kyuued' in response and I sighed,
"You're going to get fat Wiz."
"Kyu!"
"I don't care if they're fruit! You're still eating to many of them!"
"Ky-Kyu." I frowned at him,
"You can keep eating them, just don't devour about half of an entire field!" he grumbled and shifted back to his white form before hopping away and jumping over to Al, dancing around, intent on being picked up.
Al conceded and picked up my little familiar, laughing and petting him. I rolled my eyes and shook my head, why I had such a 'cute' innocent familiar is way beyond me.
"Can you actually understand what he says?" Al asked. I glanced at the boy/ suit of armor,
"Yah, he's my familiar and I need to know what he's saying at times." I glared at the little white ball of fur, "Though sometimes I could care less." He gave me an innocent look,
"Kyu?" I scoffed,
"Oh shut up, you know exactly what I mean."
He made a cute sound that I translated into a slightly evil laugh. I rolled my eyes again and stood up, stretching and glancing out the window, the sky was darkening and the news had already spread that a thief would try to steal the 'Sirens's call'. Ed and the rest were still very confused (and a little pissed off) that I had insisted on sending a warning letter in advance, it just wouldn't feel like a real heist if I didn't. I do these heists for three reasons. One: to seal pained artworks that may harm people, two: to piss Krad off and three: to amuse myself. If I didn't send a warning letter than two out of those three reasons would be invalid, though Krad was be pissed anyway…
"I think it's time you got going Ed, Krad and I can fly but you will be slower since you have to run on those short legs of yours." He fired up at once and opened his mouth to scream at me but I turned to glare at Krad, "And you should get a familiar!" I snapped.
"There is no point to those nasty little beasts, they only hold back our magical abilities." He said with a glare at Wiz.
"Why don't you have a familiar? And why do you Dark?" I didn't take my glare away from Krad,
"I have a familiar and try not to use magic because using my own wings and using magic harms our tamers, almost killing them if we use to much." I explained, my voice barely hiding a snarl.
"I have no need for a familiar because Master Satoshi is still fine, he is still breathing."
"BARELY!" Daisuke silently objected.
"Blue boy will be fine, he will just be in intense pain until we get our own bodies!" I chirped, trying to cheer him up…somehow.
"That didn't help Dark."
"Yah…I know."
Ed growled in annoyance, still on the 'short little legs' thing and he, Al and Mustang walked out of the building.
"So what are you going to be doing Envy?" I asked, not really caring what the shapeshifter did.
"Oh I'll be coming with you, I can just run a lot faster than Pipsqueak." He paused, as if expecting Ed to rush in out of nowhere and scream at him, but when that didn't happen he smirked.
"Okay then, I'll be leaving in a few minutes." I cleared up, slightly uncomfortable about being left alone with the two most evil people I have ever met…besides the Fuhrer that is.
I shifted uncomfortably and called Wiz silently, my little white rabbit…thing…transformed into my gorgeous black wings that I rested lazily behind my back. I glanced at the two, who were talking quietly between each other and glancing at either me or the door occasionally, creeping me out.
"Hey Dai, do you think I should try out some of that alchemy Ed taught me on this heist?" I asked for a lack of anything else to do.
"If you want to, so am I the only one worried about Krad and Envy? They seem to be getting a little bit to close for my liking." I nodded slowly,
"Yah, I know what you mean, whenever Krad starts to talk to someone like that it either means he's planning something, threatening them, or…well that's it." Dai sighed,
"So…we're probably in trouble?" I chucked with no humor.
"O-o-o-o-o-oh yah."
By the time it was time to go I was very twitchy, bouncing on the balls of my feet and glancing at the clock every few seconds.
"Stop doing that Baka Kaito, you look more idiotic than usual." I glared at Krad and resisted the childish urge to stick my tongue out at him.
"Whatever Kraddykins, I'm going now." I jumped over to the window and dived out, snapping my (Wiz's) wings out at the last second and soaring into the air. I smiled at the familiar feeling of wing brushing against my face and angled myself to the museum.
I was half way there when I noticed Krad was flying a good fifty feet away from me, glaring straight ahead. I scowled at him and dipped my wing, flying a little farther away from him, I'm automatically cautious when we're both in the air. He totally ignored me though and we swooped towards the museum.
I circled around it for a while, studying it and looking at the guards who aimed their muskets at me and started firing. I yelped and dodged,
"Looks like this world doesn't have the same 'don't shoot unless shot at' policy." I commented, excitement tingling through my veins, this just got interesting.
With that I dove towards the building and broke through a window before stealthily sneaking back out and climbing over the roof, avoiding cops and silently slipping into a window on the other side, not caring if Krad or Ed was with me.
"What was that for?" a voice hissed. I knew the voice so I just smirked,
"Now they're distracted, they think I'm on the other side of the building, now lets go." I told Ed and we ran silently through the halls.
As soon as I found the room I was looking for I stopped outside the door and peeked in, there were of course a whole boat load of guards so I took out my feather, muttered a single word and they all collapsed, fast asleep. I smiled and walked towards the statue.
The statue was good sized, but I could shrink it properly. It portrayed a beautiful mermaid, she was leaning over a black stone, her tail curved in front of her, her lips were slightly parted and she had a slightly evil look to her. There were skulls littered around the base.
I shuddered,
"You, my beauty, are slightly creepy." I told her and, even though my first instinct was to seal the work I simply shrunk it to a manageable size and placed it in my black bag.
"So now what?" Ed asked, looking around. I frowned at him,
"Well I have to carry you out of here…though I'd rather not…"
"Then just leave 'em here!" a new voice cackled. I turned to the window and rolled my eyes,
"Perfect timing Envy, where's Kraddykins? It's not like him to miss trying to stop my theft, even if we are supposed to be on the same side." Envy shrugged,
"Not sure." I rolled my eyes,
"Typical Krad." I grumbled and spread my wings, grabbing the smaller Elric and flying out the window, just as the police came in and started shooting.
I swore and tried to dodge but it was harder when I was carrying someone. I managed to dodge most of them but one hit Ed's automail leg and I got shot in the side. I hissed in pain and tossed the Elric in the air, spinning around and blowing up all of their guns before grabbing the screaming Ed and darting out the window,
"WILL YOU SHUT UP ALREADY!" I screamed at Ed, who was still freaking out over being thrown into the air. My side was still bleeding and the stature was weighing heavily around my shoulder.
"DARK! Are you okay?" Daisuke screamed in Panic,
"Leave it to you Dai, to ask if a bleeding man is alright." I thought to myself and didn't answer, focusing on getting to our safe area.
I landed in the back woods and dropped Ed, stumbling and gripping my side tightly, trying to stop the bleeding.
"Dark!" Al's voice gasped, hurrying over to me, "You're shot!" I glared at him, my breathing ragged.
"Thanks for pointing out the obvious." I growled and collapsed on the ground, checking the artwork to make sure it was safe.
It was fine so I lifted up my shirt and looked at the wound, I healed much faster than others so it had stopped bleeding already. I frowned at it and, with clenched teeth, used magic to roughly pull the bullet out from the wound. I bit my tongue to stop any scream of pain and threw the bullet aside, letting it heal itself again.
Al came back with Mustang and they helped me bandage it, though I told them I'd be fine. I took the 'Siren's Call' out of its bag and turned it in my hands carefully, noticing an inscription on the underside.
Dicendum ut peccáta.
I frowned at it,
"What does that mean Dark?" I glanced at Envy,
"It means 'I respond to the sins' so I guess she responds to the Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Sloth, Pride and Greed."
"The Homunculi?"
"The Homunculi." I agreed.
"Great! We've got it! Now we just need to get this back to Wrath—"
"Are you seriously going through with this?" Ed snapped, glaring at me. I frowned at him,
"What? Using her to create a Philosopher's stone which will then give me my own body? Sure I am." I placed her back into my bag and stood up with a wince of pain as moving pulled the muscles in my side uncomfortably.
"But you'll be killing innocent people!" I stared at him with half lidded eyes and sighed,
"Edward Elric…The Fullmetal Alchemist, youngest member to be one of the Military's Dogs…meaning you will have to kill people at some point." I informed him, "I may not be the one who goes around killing for no reason unlike some demonic angels I know…" I glared at the sky, "I accept that life will go on and people do die, this is just quickening the inevitable." I said.
"Dark! That sounded like something Krad would say!"
"DON'T SAY THAT!" I shouted frantically back at my tamer.
"Well I still think it's bad." Ed grumbled.
"It is, but we're doing it anyway." I said, "I have nothing against Dai but I really would love my own body, I don't like being cooped up like this, I don't like having to ask permission every time I want to do something, it's just not in my nature."
"Fine, I guess we're going back home now…" Ed sighed. I smiled,
"Yup, now we're one step closer to being our own individuals." I said wistfully, ignoring that part of my mind that was telling me something was up, Krad was gone, Envy had been smiling like a maniac for the past…while and the statue I just stole responded only to the Homunculi, they were planning something and Krad was included in it…while the rest of us were left to die.
