Oh my goodness gracious great gods from the great beyond I AM BACK! Sorry it took me so long to post this, and I'm also truly sorry for it being so short! But the next chapter will be just as long, and I figure it would give me some time to stir up a few ideas. It should take me 3-4 days to finish it but I assure you it will be out.
Also, the Greed story is very VERY far from over, I will have that up as well within the same time frame, so I hope until then this will suffice. Anyone that's reading that Starrk story I will be changing some of the details and reposing a new one soon, and as for the Grimmjow story, that will be out 1-2 days, so no sweat guys I am back for more. I've just been in a hectic situation and my body feels like it's just about seen its day. In a manner of speaking, I mean.
I hope you enjoy the chapter, and like I put before, 3-4 days guys!
Description: I don't know own anybody no how, although who doesn't want to own a Kimblee plushy? *~Grabs special plushie, and snuggles on the couch~* Well! I'm set! :3
Chapter 10: Break
She tried hard to walk around the moths that fluttered in her face, and the dust that constantly kept wondering off when ever the roof or walls would creak. And those damn moths! They just wouldn't stop playing with her face! She attempted to shoe them away, which worked for the mean time, but in the mix of trying to see anything in the all the crud, Lily accidentally fell through a hole in the floor, getting he foot caught for a second while she attempted not to yelp in pain. Instead she clenched her teeth, and grinded them when she pulled her calf out of the hole. When she pulled it out, she could see her pants had been ripped, making her curse to herself for being so damn clumsiness. She grounded herself once again and followed the echoes of someone talking.
She had a good idea of who it was but continued to lean against the wall, the closer she got. On the way of passing by some rooms she continued to search them for distraction, but nothing looked usable. Everything was either in bulks, or just not to what she was looking for, "Damn…" Either way, she was going to find what exactly was going on in Kimblee's investigation for the Full Metal boy.
What exactly would be their plan against Kimblee, if that became the case. She had a feeling it was and slowly moved up to the door without making a sound and leaned her back as close as she could to the wall until she was close enough to hear exactly what was going on.
"Dr. Marco? What're you doing here?" She heard Ed call out the old man's name that sounded all too familiar, until Lily's eyes to widen with recognition. Marco…He's been running around with the Elric Brothers? No, that's not right. He was running around with-…
A sudden abrupt boom interrupted the girl's train of thought, and almost instantly she tingled all over. The sound surely brought her back for a split second before she controlled that urge it was revealing its ugly head bit by bit, "Ngh, get a hold of yourself, can't lose it now." Lilia's eyes intently stared at the others talking amongst themselves about the sound of close by building collapsing.
"I think our friends have just found him." The blonde boy answered everyone's curiosity as to find Kimblee's men, and in the process from the sounds that Lily was deeply theorizing in, she believed that they had found something worth seeing.
So with a quiet inhale and like the wind she disappeared into the rigged ruins of the building mines, only to have left Alphonse looking back to the door that was slowly opening itself on its own, "Al you okay?" Ed asked seeing his brother's attention drawn to their escape, "No. I just thought I saw something. Heh, must've been my imagination."
"Okay, well let's go! Scar may need our help. We can't let them take him so easily without getting him to work for us."
"Are you sure this is going to work?"
"Only one way to find out." Ed, in response grinned out of a plotted plan already brew in his head.
Back out in the snow, Kimblee still waited patiently for Lilith's return, hoping that she hadn't run off on him, and joined the side of the others. As much as he wanted to believe she was truthful to him, a part of him thought maybe he was wrong about her, and maybe she had changed.
But a lass, he refused to doubt her just yet. He would be patient as he could until the reported evening snow storm would roll in. Until then, he would continued to wait, "Good god woman what the hell are you doing?" The blue eyed crimson was falling into irritancy the more he thought about her, and the more it gnawed at him on the inside, the more it worried him.
"Sir!" It even pissed him off more when he was interrupted in mid thought, "What!" He spat as cooly as he could without sounding abrupt, "W-Well, we still haven't found where she went sir, there's no sign of her anywhere."
"I'm already very aware of that soldier, now I'd like to hear something more up-to-date, if you don't mind. There's not that many places she could've gone, so keep looking."
"Yes sir." The man barely had time to react all he could do was turn around and roll his eye as he looked to the other to nudge his and signal them to keep on looking for…Well, everyone!
Suddenly the sound of crumbling and destruction caught his ear; almost every nerve and atom moved in his entire being. He may have even smiled as he looked to the noise and chuckled to himself only to assume he had found someone….Not Lilia, he knew that…
But a certain someone he had been dying to see since their last meeting back on that train coming towards the North. "Ah, good old memories…Isn't it…Lillian?" The wind blew that chill right out of his spine and with a long deep exhale into the sky, he merely grinned at the excitement and energy flowing through his veins.
Yes, although he may have been talking more to himself than anyone, he could only think of the same feeling that ran through the woman he was so fond of giving ultimate pleasure to. In every aspect of the word.
She stayed in the shadows hidden from anyone in the line of light or sight. She made sure no one would see her, as if it was a mission. She was damn good at what she did, and she intended to keep it that way, even after all these years, and now, again, her skills had come out to be good for something. Now, she listened to the grunts and yells of three people fighting by what she could detect all by just sound.
It was hard at first, but the moment she spotted the scarred face man, and what looked like a boar and a reptile…A frog, she was more than just taken back to see that the Central forces were letting their Chimeras out.
Lilia literally had to cover her mouth to hide a noise of what she was seeing before her eyes.
She didn't want to believe what she was seeing, because she knew she could do nothing to un-see it. Those men before were no ordinary Military soldiers, but something she had only read about in books back in her academy years.
She was into those dark century books when she had free time, and during those times, Kimblee use to tell her not to read them, that it would give her nightmares; but this whole new feeling she was experiencing was un-comprehendible to the woman. She didn't know what to think. Her mind was going a mile a minute as she watched them and Scar fight on against one another.
Scar used Alchemy, by what Lily could tell, and with every hit that man made to the ground, it only stimulated the thoughts that ran passed Lilia's brain.
Oh yes, they were becoming every naughty, and very deadly by the second. Again. Her heart began to beat against her chest, with a sense of seeking thrill. She was also feeling adventurous. She was beginning to think maybe she would help the two out and show the scar man what she too had hiding up her sleeves. My god, just the smell of fighting a deadly man like that made Lily want to-, "I think he's over here! Hurry!"
Fuck! Out of quick rationality, the girl in hiding swiftly made herself scarce around the corner, just near the entrance that the others would be coming in to help their friend in need.
And just by the situation at hand, something big was about to go down, and Lilia was going to be the one to witness it all. What a rush…
When the alchemist and his group finally made it to the scene, they all dashed in, one by one, leaving Lilith to take her spot back at the door, watching as the fighting intensified.
It was quite intriguing to watch on Lily's behalf, and for all it was worth she wish Kimblee could've been there to experience this moment with her, if he wasn't already hearing it in his direction. Just the thought of his smirk made her smile a little, and lean against the door frame thinking about him.
Until she watched the two Elric brothers take the chimeras and Scar down single handedly.
"Impressive." She couldn't help but say it out loud, a habit she had for a long time was talking to herself, but then again who didn't every now and again, especially from what she just saw, she was more words she could use to describe what she was seeing, and moved down the hall to get a better sound range to listen to the investigation further.
"Alright, talk." The blonde one, Edward stood before the man Scar to have him speak, but the man just merely glared at him and grunted, "What do you want me to say?" His low gruff tone was filled with a sense of aggression, but Ed stared him down enough to make the man glare back, until he looked away, "I want you to stop going on your murdering rampage."
"And why should I?" The Ishvalan growled in the back of his throat as he asked this.
"Because you really don't have a choice in the matter. I can leave you here until the day you die, but that's not really my style, if anything-, I'd like to give you a change to be on our side for once. Especially with all the crazy crap that's been happening…" The boy suddenly leaned into the man Scar's face and glared deeply into his eyes, almost causing an uneasy emotion to run through those red eyes of his.
Those blood red eyes that Lily suddenly couldn't stop staring at. They were just as red as blood. It made her throat dry and her lust for blood great, until the sound of their voices brought her back to reality, "You saw what they were doing in Central, and instead of killing innocent people, I want to put you to some good use instead."
"I would take you up on that offer…" At first everyone seemed surprised that he would agree so easily, but the moment his grim expression stayed the same, it was actually to give a different answer, one that was not what Ed or the others wanted to hear, "But I have my own score to settle with those bastards in Central."
"Then help us! Stop fighting against everyone and fight beside us when we go back!" The boy snapped irritated at the stubborn man.
Lilia could understand though. It was in his nature to fight, and kill…After Ishval, there were a lot of Ishvalans that were traumatized from what had happened to them…Scar's was just on another level far from the ones in hiding…And he had alchemy to assist him in his thrust for revenge…
It only began to make the green eyed girl think if she too was on his list for vengeance.
Technically, she was a part of the war, and she killed hundreds-, thousands-, millions of causalities during those years…It could only be the inevitable that her name was on his list of alchemists and military informants.
In a way, she was counting on it-, hoping.
From the moment she gave herself to Kimblee again, she knew she would have to make the decision of going back to the Military…Which meant letting herself free to the wondrous possibility of her alchemy.
She was itching for some action, especially after what she saw.
Within a few weeks there would be the biggest war to ever hit the nation, and she was going to be a part of it. She herself would be a part of history. Dead or alive.
"And if not, then do it for my friends parents that you killed. When they tried to help you-,"
"I TOLD YOU BOY, I'M NOT GOING TO!"
"Then maybe this will change your mind." The voice stopped the adrenaline Lily once had and ceased the fighting between the two bulls immediately as they looked to the open door way to see, "Miles! Why did you bring Winry here!" The boy sounded pissed
"I didn't. She came here all on her own and I just followed." He looked down at the younger girl to see she was staring dazed down at the man that apparently had killed her parents.
Somewhere, that had hit close to home with Lily, and she sympathized with Winry when it came to her tragedy…Although their resolve was totally in separate directions.
Just then, Winry took a couple steps towards Scar who was still bounded to a huge piece of rubble, "Winry! No!"
"You don't know what he could do to you!"
"It's alright…I'm not afraid." She assured.
Both of the Elric's warned her, but the girl was unfazed. Lilith didn't know whether to think she was brave or just plan stupid but either way gave her props for even thinking it.
Just then, she stopped just a about a foot away from and looked down at him, as he looked up at her, trying not to show the motions of guilt, but it was so easy to see that it wasn't hard to miss.
"Why…" Winry suddenly asked with a sorrowful filled voice, "Why did you kill my mother and father." She asked this time a little stronger, and the only other response she got was a-, "There is nothing that I can tell that would satisfy your desire to know the truth. What's done is done." Lilia from afar could see that guilty expression come out more and more, the more he continued to stare back at the daughter of the two doctors who attempted to help him…And he killed.
It was truly a heart wrenching story, but in all honesty, that was the least of Lilith's problems right now; she had to get back to Kimblee before the others realized she was there, and in the spot she was in, there was only one way out…Through the way she came.
She went around the corner crouched down and moved swiftly around the rubble to be unseen, even by Miles, who use to always catch her slipping away, but this time…
Her real instincts were kicking in with the sanity slipping. Everything was feeling like a game to her, like hide and seek. The dream that she had told Kimblee about the night before when she was at the train station. Dreaming was something she loved to do, especially when she was stuck right in the middle of danger.
Guess I am too much like you Kimblee… Thinking that as she looked around she finally turned her attention back to the others as she listened in on their conversation…
The more she heard it, the more her features of playing games was over…She could hear them talking about Kimblee as well, attempting get not only Scar, but the doctor and the rest of them out of Briggs.
With her eyes calmed and her bottom lip bitten, she slowly fell back into the shadows to get back to Kimblee herself before they realized she was there. She had been there a lot longer than she would've hoped to be, but it was worth for the things she had over heard.
"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN! I WAS ABOUT TO GO ON A SEARCH FOR YOU!"
"Sorry, I thought I saw something. Turns out I was wrong?" Apparently, by the way the crimson was staring at her, he wasn't in the mood and quickly she lowered her head, refusing to make eye contact out of guilt.
Being Kimblee, he only growled, and sighed while rubbing of his temple, "I just want a heads up next time you decide to go off on your own, you could've at least brought some man power with you. Don't. Go off. On your own. Got it? Even so much as a 'I'm leaving' would've been nice."
"Oh. I see." Being intimidated by Kimblee's stare she refused to look at him, when she finally said, "Sorry, sir. You're right. I shouldn't have run off like that. Curiosity got the best of me." Kimblee stared her down, watching her expression as she looked up to him with a smile, and then finally made eye contact with him.
They both gave one another a prolonged stare before she sighed and continued to smile softly at him, "Do you mind if we talk?"
"About what?" He asked slightly tendering his eyes to her as hers gave a glimmer of something suspicious. He could tell she was acting strange even more so than usual when she didn't answer him.
Apparently getting his answer through her silence, Kimblee could only sighed and rubbing his eyes to calm himself, knowing she wanted to talk in private, "Very well, if you won't answer, I'll interrogate on the matter later." He placed his hands at his side, almost towering over Lily with a tempting gazing in his eyes. It was as if he was trying to be threatening, but charismatic at the same time.
She wouldn't have put it passed him.
"Go for it." Was all she could reply, eyeing him as she turned on her heel and move towards the men who were standing around waiting for another command.
They even greeted her with smiles and asked if she was alright. She smiled at them in returned and nodded with reassurance.
But while she did that, Kimblee continued to stare her down, skeptical of her behavior, and how she was acting. It was quite entertaining, and as his mind tried to figure Lily out, a sudden explosion came from a near by building, one close to where Lilia had made her appearance, which made the Alchemist look to the girl once again with a grim look, "Hey! Don't look at me, I didn't do it!" She exclaimed glaring back at him when she noticed his gaze glued to her, but it quickly went back to the building.
The two watched the smoke take the air like a wave of a tsunami rising over their heads.
Then, through main entrance, the Elric brothers had finally shown their faces, Edward, the Eldest, apparently looked angry at the Crimson and snarled, "KIMBLEE!YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO BE WATCHING WINRY AND NOW SHE'S CAPTURED BECAUSE OF YOU!"
Kimblee had to admit, he was surprised by the boy's outburst after all why was he the one that was suppose to be watching her when he had already warned ahead that this could be dangerous.
Idiots never listen, but before anyone could make another reaction, one of the soldiers had spotted something on top of the smoking roof, "LOOK! UP THERE!"
Everyone's eyes looked up, attempted to look through the black smoke to see the figure holding a large object under his arm.
On queue the wind blew the smoke from the persons, and revealed their identities.
Apparently Scar stood before the military with his right arm full of the girl Winry.
Oh yeah, Kimblee already had a good idea of who it was. "Then I guess this is just my luck." He commented out loud, getting Lilia watched carefully after hearing the words pass his lips. She observed as he relieved his hands of his gloves, and stuffed them into his pocket before spreading out his hands into the air.
She already could see another explosion coming, this time with beautiful red sparks she hadn't witnessed in a while, but unfortunately, Edward had gotten in his way, and caught Kimblee just in time to stop his hands from getting any near one another, "NO! Don't you dare! Stand down Crimson! Have you've already forgotten, Winry's up there? I won't let you do it Alchemist!"
This was most upsetting, and frustrating as all hell! Kimblee wanted to take down that Ishvalan once and for all, the way he had been dreaming for the longest time, but this brat…Damn it, everyone was getting in his way!
"Step. Aside." He threatened grabbing back control of his arms as he glared back the boy and then to Scar, even more than Ed.
He could see the Ishvalan Scar looking down at him with a gaze that made Kimblee growl under his breath, "Isn't this just like before Kimblee!" The man bellowed for everyone to hear.
"Just like back in Ishval! Only it seems the tables of turned!"
The Crimson eyes were flickering, glaring daggers into this man, "You shouldn't act so confident!" He retorted bitterly to the man, only to have them both exchange glances before Scar took off with another explosion.
Most of the soldiers ran to attempt in getting him, but it was a hopeless battle, only that only made Lilia want to fight this mysterious Ishvalan.
Apparently Kimblee had seen him before, but Lilia really didn't seem to recognize him. Back in Ishval…He must've been one of the warriors or monks fighting Kimblee? But, when I went to see him, there was no there…Everyone was dead, right? How odd…
Suddenly the girl got an urge tug at the center of her heart and mind…
Temptation began knocking at the door, and a small smile ran over her lips as she licked them of dryness, "Then…" she started speaking up, getting everyone's attention, "Allow me to have a go at capturing him, huh?"
Her eyes were directly on the Ishvalan, "Don't worry I won't hurt the girl…I just-,…Want to try…" Suddenly her heart was pounding like a jack hammer, her pupils were focusing in and out on reality and fantasy again. Her orbs were literally glowing as she began to remember more about Ishval again.
The rush, the laughter, the explosions, the killings, the fire, the blood, the screaming people running from her glorious chaos. She was the goddess of chaos herself she loved it so much. It all was a chain extending to incredible ecstasy…Thinking about this had to have been a crime. It just had to be. She getting off on the madness all too much, and she knew she could drown in dangerous waters such as her own.
Unfortunately, she already was, yet she hadn't realized it just yet.
The clicking was starting…The sound was just so loud even Lily's hand couldn't reach up and clench the side of her head to feel what felt like a centipede crawling against her brain, "…rushing…rising…my…my skull-, ngh…" Quickly her hand raised to her head, and held onto the side where it hurt most.
Every two seconds that bug would tick and move, tick and move, it was so unbearable that the girl could only put her hands to her side as they shook and her body temperature fell deathly pale. Yet her cheeks were reddened with a soft pink blush, and her iris of her eyes were mist over with a hungry to have, if not, just a little fun.
"Major Smith?" One of the soldiers tried to call to her, but the look in her eyes was deadly, nothing of which Briggs had seen. The only one that seemed to notice the change in her energy was Kimblee, of course.
Suddenly big gust of wind began to take the air, and Lilia's hands and fingers straightened themselves out beside her. She turned them over and brought them up into the air slowly and brought them together as the snow some how meshed with her Alchemy, making it seemed like the snow around her became apart of it all.
She grinned knowing and hoping of what was to come, and she watched as a white vortex grew above her head being, until it burst like a star and a orange sparkling blast streamed out from the middle of it, aiming for the Ishvalan.
"No!" Edward screamed as the blast nearly blinding them all, excluding Lily who was just laughing at it all.
That was it…She had broken herself within time, and the hour glass of sanity dropped the last grain of its sand…The real Lilia Smith had returned. Although she couldn't see anything from the blast, the blue and yellow dots she could see made her almost taste purple, it was strange.
But what could be better to her than a good fight between two anxious souls?
When the after effects had cleared, Lily looked at her crumbled path before her, and began to walk straight with one boot in front of the other, she was almost strutting with a sway when she finally began to look around with a thick foggy glazy over her eyes, "Hello…?~" She sang, giggling afterwards to find nothing but rubble, "Awe…I guess I missed." She pouted looking around slowly, letting her eyes take the scene before hearing something coming up behind her.
On instinct she swipe around to grab onto a through, and a small grunt from it as she saw to see who it was…At first she didn't even notice the blonde eyes she was staring into all she could see a red and black blur, but soon as her eyes focused into was it was she immediately released Edward's throat, hearing him gasp out and cough to regain himself, "What the-,"
"Don't sneak up on me like that...It's not a good idea…" Was all she put before moving around him.
"Have you gone completely insane! I told you guys to stand down!" He voice was full of anger, he almost sounded threatening, but when Lily turned to him, her eyes were unlike the first time they met.
They were deadly, and just as threatening as his…Almost, "Or what?" She spat venomously, "I want that Ishvalan…and I want him dead." Her mouth was like acid to her words, it made the boy stop in his tracks for a second before his face became hard, gritting his teeth to keep himself from exploding.
But again it made difference to Lily, she looked at the top of the other buildings, closely listening in to the world around her before she smiled at a small shadow she saw out of the corner of her eye, "On a better note though, your girlfriend's not dead. So you can stop the sniveling." She said with such emphasis.
"What-," Before the blonde could say anymore he noticed her eyes were on something, smiling and walking towards what she saw it in plain sight. It was Scar of course and still with Winry in his grasp like before; but this time the red eyed man had his chance to escape.
The weather had its own plans to chill the air around them, and in sync with the fall of the dancing from the sky gave Scar his opportunity. The man made one last eye contact to the girl, and with a move of his hand he used alchemy back to cause the building he stood on to explode into dust. The whole building was filled with it from top to bottom, catching Lilia off guard when she protected her mouth and face from the blinding fog of dust.
From close by, Kimblee could see what was going to happen, and as he ran up next to Lily he looked up at the building to see Scar grab a pretty hold of the blonde girl and disappeared into the dust, "HOLD ON ISHVALAN!" Kimblee noticed this and attempted to call out to stop him, but it was too late. He was already gone, and the winds were picking up quickly, but the alchemist could care less, he was about to run into that building himself, but then Miles suddenly spoke up beyond the chaos, "Don't do it! The buildings are unstable enough to collapse."
Damn it…If all these people weren't in my way this job would be a lot easier…Damn it! Was all he could think before looking back to the destroyed building and them back to Miles who stepped up closer to him, "It's no use trying to go after him, at this rate, the storms already coming in. We should take shelter in Briggs while we still have the chance! Everybody move out!" It was no use, even if he wanted to say screw it, the storm would've killed him if the Ishvalan didn't, and he refused to let the weather get to him.
He had to admit he had lost this time around and it was very degrading.
After attempting to calm his wavered nerves, he looked to the troops around him who were already heading for cover from the snow when he noticed a dazed Lilia looking up into the sky in a daze, her cheek flushed and her eyes glazed with a emptiness that obviously need to be filled. Then she brought her fingers to her lips with a small smile resisting behind them.
He knew she was breaking…And she was falling too. She was falling hard, and all he could do was watch…And then slightly smile himself, "Lilia…" He called out to her, and she responded slowly, turning to look back at the man who called her name. Then she turn her full from to him, sticking her icy hand in her pockets.
The man she roamed havoc with, the man she quench like the blood on the splattered street even if it was just a nose bleed. She craved it, she craved him like she did war.
Like she craved her Alchemy.
A small tranquil sigh left her lips at the same time another gust of strong winds began to dance pass them, having the girl remove the access hair that seemed to get in the way of her vision of the Red Lotus.
"Sorry, getting carried away again aren't I?" She still had that smile on her face when she asked.
With a soft reply Kimblee chuckled, "Not at all….Although I would've liked a warning for that little outburst. That was a very irrational thing to do, even for you Lily Pad…" There was a small pause between the two Alchemist, and while they smiled at one another, Lilia began to move towards the Crimson Alchemist, never leaving her eyes from his until she walked right passed him, fiddling with her tongue from what he could see.
Until Kimblee noticed an object flickering and dancing against her teeth. And it glow that pretty color she loved so much…
No way…She actually kept it for all these years? Oh, Lily…You are such a devious little vixen…Makes me remember why I fell for you in the first place…
He felt it, that tingling sensation drumming through out his body when he stared back at the head of the girl he so dearly desired. He wanted to just turn her around and force her into the snow, but in seeing the dark clouds darkening the sky with each blow of high winds, Kimblee could only close his eyes and hold back a menacing laugh as he walked back to the car.
He could only wonder what had set this new trigger off in her, but in all honesty, he liked it. He liked it a lot. So much so that it made his legs ache and his spine quiver with delight as his need for Lilia grew stronger and stronger. God, if only he could get a minute or two, he'd rock her world beyond comprehension he was just that impatient.
Once the soldiers were settled, it felt like the whole room had split into two parts; Kimblee being in one room, and Miles in the other, it was quite intriguing segregated everyone was, it was actually slightly painful to the girl sitting in the corner listening to the next move the Alchemist had up his sleeve.
She wasn't really listening, then again she was in and out while she laid back against her seat to look up at the ceiling humming a small melody to herself. Then she reached into her pocket and began to play with a small ball…Well, it wasn't really a ball, but she liked the silk feel of the small marble, and fiddled it between her fingers as she came back to reality, and looked to over at Kimblee as he spoke, "When the storm clears I'm taking my men to the mine shafts in the center of the town. Scar couldn't have gotten far, and since I don't trust anyone of you soldiers to do your damn jobs right, I will going down there by myself."
"Yes sir." The unwilling replied and Kimblee went on researching his resourceful map of underground tunnels that could've been another escape route for the group that had departed.
If he hadn't noticed his other helpers hadn't escaped by now, than Kimblee had really lost his touch; but Lily knew him better. He was definitely aware, which is why he didn't trust any one of the Briggs men to help actually capture any of the fugitives that had made a clean get away.
Although, there was one thing that the woman did notice out of the corner of her eye.
The look in the man's eyes; he was pondering or worrying about something that Lily just couldn't quite put her finger on. Then a sudden possibility came to the light, Could it be that he's worried about loosing the Rockbell kid? Since it was his duty to make sure he had something dangling over the Elric Brother's heads there's nothing left to keep the boys from fighting back. And now he'll have to tell the Furher too...
While Lilia continued to dwell in her mind, she suddenly became curious as to what that Edward kid and Miles were doing. She had her sights on the thin ragged fabric hanging over the doorway that separated the whole room apart, and stood up from her seat.
But before she could even get near the door frame, Kimblee shifted his eyes from the map, "And where do you think you're going?"
"Well, since you don't want anyone getting in your way, I might as well do the same."
"Oh no you don't, the last time you ran off I didn't hear from you for almost an hour." He said annoyed, getting Lily look at him funny, "It was only 30 minutes." She corrected.
"None the less I trust you more than one else here, so I need you to tell how to read this stupid map."
"Kimblee…You're an agent of the Military how do y-," She was going to go on to say more about his intelligence, but the look on his face said otherwise. What he was really saying was, 'We need to talk.' So, Lily sighed and shrugged her shoulders at him, "Alright I'll show you."
With her arms crossed and a steady stroll over to the table, Lilia leaned her elbows on the table and propped her bottom in the air when she leaned closer to talk softly to her companion, "So, what did you want me to show you?" She asked only knowing all too well what the man wanted when he returned her question with just a sly smirk, then a grin.
She blinked at him, "What?"
"Nothing…Just you. Didn't you have something you wanted to share with me earlier?" She looked at him curiously, almost completely forgetting that she had information about the Elric's that she hadn't mentioned to him just yet.
She slightly giggled and looked down at his hand that began to trace her fingers tips with his index finger, "It was nothing important…" She trailed off focusing on the soft feel of his touch. It caused her goose bumps all the way up her arms and around her shoulders and head like they had all been connect to the trigger somehow.
"Oh? Are you sure about that?" He cooed moving into her shoulder a little more to pour his sapphire eyes into hers. He knew better and knew that new look in her eyes as she stared back just as hard.
They both knew what was really running through the others head, and with a hidden smirk, Lilia slowly her frame back and forth "Oh yeah, that. Isn't it a little crowded in here to be mentioning things like that?" She purred close to his ear, before sneaking a small nip at his lobe before swiftly pulling away without anyone noticing; little did she know that Kimblee had excellent peripherals and smirked even more devious, "No one's around us, Fancy-Face." Their noses barely touched, but their feelings were strong for one another.
Kimblee wanted nothing more than to tie the girl down and make her beg for him. He didn't think it was such a bad a idea but more of wondering where to do so. Lilia had similar ideas, but didn't feel to act on them, she was too busy enjoying the foreplay to care if anyone saw, and with a short fast motion she leaned up and kissed his lips roughly pressing her tongue passed his lips to give him a taste of how she was truly feeling. What was making her explode inside until her belly melted with her urge to want.
She was on fire, and her kiss was more than he could take, so much so he pressed back just as hard, to make sure that the girl's lips would be more than red by the time he was through with them. They were so velvet soft that he was more than comfortable to lay his lips over hers until they matched their tongues in sync with the others. Then with a hand Kimblee grabbed the back of the girl's head with a rough pull of her dangling hair, and shoved mouth straight onto hers to the point she squeaked a moan, the one she had been trying to hide the more this act progressed.
Why of all times did they have to be working? Then he began to think…Downstairs was completely open, and none of the soldiers, Elric's or Miles would be there. Not for awhile anyway. He chuckled to himself and smirked when he so abruptly pulled away and shined a devious smile at the dazed Lily who he could see was trying hard to wagging her backside for only one reason.
He could see that reason in her eyes, and could only feel a force tugging at him. He suddenly pulled the girl up with him, having them both stand before each other while he cupped the side of her face, and stared back into her big green doe eyes, brushing the side of her neck ever so softly with just the back of his fingers to feel her shiver under his touch.
His eyes went from his hand to her flustered face, and bitten lip. She had broken through the skin, unfazed by the pain, and oblivious to the blood already starting to make itself apparent. Kimblee couldn't help that smile to grow back on his lips, and as he leaned in to lick it away, Lilia tilted her head to the side and opened her mouth a little giving Kimblee all the access he needed to take a suck at the bottom.
He was almost tempted to just throw her on the table right then and there not giving a crap on who saw or what she'd protest. In fact, it would've turned him on to show Miles how much he had lost his battle, and how much he wanted to show Lilia how deeply he truly desired her. It was painful to say the least. But all that changed when Lily suddenly pulled away slightly from his lips, but not from his grasp, "Kimblee…" She whispered his name before he had kissed her again, "We shouldn't…"
"I know…But…" All of a sudden he wrapped a deathly grip on Lily like a boa, and took in a deep inhale into her hair, "How can I stop myself when you're on the brink of breaking?" She didn't know she had made a sound to his words, she couldn't even register Kimblee being in front of her, she was just that lost.
Until a sound was made to break the contact between the two quickly. Lily's face nearly paled when she attempted to act natural. That was probably harder than making a mid-sentence, and pointing down at the map like she had been helping the crimson the whole time, "So, we've got a plan set."
"Oh do you?" Kimblee kept his eyes on the paper as if he was only slightly interested on the matter.
"Yeah, me and my soldiers will be heading out once the storm clears."
"What a coincidence. I was just going to do the same once I get the chance, after all we're not done finding Scar. You mean can go your own way as I mentioned before to a comrade's of yours, I'll be heading out my own way. Lily, will be riding along with me since she's really the only one I trust. You understand don't you Major?" The last comment seemed to make the girl's face turn slightly pink as she looked to the floor, only trying to avoid the gaze of everyone as she walked towards the window to get another look at the storm.
Her eyes scanned every fast snowflake passing by her gaze, and with each stare she felt the warm of her body leave her quickly, as if a gust of wind brush across every piece of her skin until she shivered and wrapped her forearms around on another. She then looked back at the boys and looked between the two intently, "It'll die down soon. That's when we make our move to find Scar, I don't care how you two want to deal the qualms between the both of you, but that man needs to be found. If he kidnapped the kid like you say he did, then we need to at least get Winry back, isn't that what really matters?" Although none of them responded she was right, which was all she really needed to get her answer and smile at the two, attempting to keep herself contained in each aspect of the word, "Until then, I need a nap. I'm going down stairs to recharge my battery."
With a sway of her hips she was down the steps with each of them giving a loud creak as she made herself at home in the abandoned home.
There was barely anything down there, just a chair and a couch to sit under a pile of memories that were long forgotten. She had to admit it probably looked like their home back in Central, the one her and Kimblee had shared for many years together. Where their own memories still awaited for them to return and continue the memory strains of life.
Still in thought of home, Lilia gazed down at the couch with a small smile on her face, and made herself comfortable on the couch as best she could without causing too much dust to unsettle itself. She could feel the cold of the leather seep into the back of her jacket when she felt her back hit the cushions, and the sound of the wind whistling outside only caused more goose bumps to ride up in her arms till she over lapped them over one another, and brought her knees up to her torso.
She closed her eyes, and huddled herself in a ball the best she could, attempting to ignore the annoying cold that attempted to freeze her over like a popsicle. Maybe coming downstairs wasn't such a good idea She thought to herself now shivering more than before, Damn it it's cold down here! Suddenly she hear the sound of creaking behind her, and looked to the stairs to see who else but Kimblee strolling down the stairs as he looked to her. At first he seemed annoyed, of course with having to deal with Miles and his men but his tune seemed to change like before when he gazed upon the solemn look of the girl looking back at him with a smile spreading across her face, "You look very unhappy." He mentioned now coming up next to her, and leaned his arms over the back of the couch.
"It just cold." She said rubbing her arms with her hands, and as she turned her head back to a small pile of books on the floor in front of her, Lily felt her body immediately warm up from the embrace of Kimblee's arms around her shoulders, his nose buried into the back of her head to take in her scent, "I can see that…" He chuckled feeling her body tense, then relax into him. She was awfully jumpy, but then again Lillian was very detached from everyone right now.
The only thing that made her feel better was turning her head into the man holding her, and too began to hold the side of his face with her hand taking advantage of the side of his neck. She was right, she was cold, "You're freezing…" He mumbled into her skin, and tighten his grip around her until his hands could no longer keep to themselves. He cupped the side of her hip with his free hand and finally took his chance to press his lips against hers once again. The sound of his undying urge rumbled in his throat when he suck her tongue into his mouth, and tangled their muscles together until Lily shot her eyes open up at the man that intended to devour her.
When she wanted to be warmed up this wasn't exactly what she meant, but due to the lack of oxygen and heat, the woman could only give in so easily and cupped the other side of the Alchemist's face to bring him down on top of her, "Mmph!" How could he have forgotten about her inner strength when it came to something she wanted. Oh, he knew very well what she wanted, just by the way she kissed him with such need, and bit his lip with just a quick sharp nibble of her canine, he could feel her slowly but surely heat up beneath him, "Hm, what an eager lady you are, you sure you don't want to just wait?"
"You started this…" She warned now grabbing the sides of his jacket to pull him down further into her body until his pelvis grounded into hers making them both breathe heavily from the contact, "But said you didn't want to do it here…" He teased her, slowly unbuttoning the front of her jacket to get a better feel of her skin. He knew underneath the thick jacket there was more to see, and more to taste, which was really egging at him to do so quickly, and yet he couldn't bring himself to do so. He could only think of how much he want to bring her to the edge.
He wanted to see Lilia with the desire of lust and the embodiment of a greedy need filling her dark green eyes. He wanted to see that fire of passion burn in her eyes and flare in her flawless cheekbones until they flushed red all mixtures of ecstasy. Like every previous photographic memory before hand, just mere thought of her in pleasure and in his control, being in his grasp right now, it only made his heart rate with the thrill of getting caught like before.
He wanted to relive everything in Ishval. Like those nights under the stars, and every night before and after that. The sound of her was divine to his ears. How could he resist her chest already pressed into his palm. Hypnotized by her face, he took the opportunity to squeeze her softly, and rounded her breast with another more needy squeeze, until he pulled down the front of Lily's pale white tank top, and dove in without hesitation. His lust filled gaze now gone from the girl's sights as her mouth opened without a sound.
Her eyes glossed instantly and her head flew back as she grabbed onto Kimblee's head, feeling his hands and mouth work over her chest, and around the areola before he opened his hot mouth over her already erected bud and gave her right a quick lick.
Lily could barely make a reaction to the tip of his tongue, but when his second one went to the left, he knitted that nipple with a fang causing the girl to nearly fly back over the couch trying to hold back a soft yelp from the rough play. Kimblee chuckled huskily up at the girl, and this time, placed both of her buds in his mouth and began to teasingly lick and suck at the buds. He did it right in front of her making sure she could see everything he was doing to her between her jacket that was practically hiding his head away from the cold, "You're getting warmer now…." He purred as he looked up at her intoxicated face with the scent of her underwear surely wet from her need for danger, and want for choas.
He knew how she liked it, and slowly leaded his lips up her collar bone, and neck, until he reached the lobe of her ear and gnawed at the soft cold skin. His breathing became too much for her to take, Lily could barely keep herself conscious to everything around her, her guard being let go and letting Kimblee in to her. She did so, when she put her hands over his back, and squeezed him tightly into her, until he was pushing himself on top of her. They wrapped around each other so hard the other could barely breath.
They began panting ruggedly until the Crimson could barely take it. A hand 'absentmindedly' made its way into her pants to cup his palm around his heated objective.
Lily really didn't know what she was starting to feel at the moment, she tummy twirled into multiple knots, and her body was flamed up in sparks as the mind numbing knowing of him coming close to her entrance was settling into her. His eyes were already filled with that hungry stare that only meant he wanted one thing, and one thing only…To hear her voice, her noises of passion, it always showed like her…A piece of art, she showed every emotion that a master piece would in a picture, or a painting.
To Kimblee, she was the painting, she was the red smeared across the green and blue, full of life and colors that made him want to paint more colors into that art she weaved into her soul. The colors she only showed for him.
Even if they were separated by death their souls would always be intertwined in spirit, and they knew this, and that's what made their passion burn brighter for one another.
Besides, Kimblee knew deep down, in a part of him he could never admit, that Lilia was the only girl for him. He wanted her and no one else. Oh sure, if he wanted to he could fuck another, but it would never be the same. Guess that's why he never did at first.
At least…That's how it was in the beginning…
Suddenly another sound of the stairs creaked, and the two dismayed from each other they looked to them to see someone standing on the steps, but then they vanished when they went back up stairs.
Not only that, but the soft sound of the strong winds began to finally die down signaling Kimblee and Lily that it was time to end their session, and begin readying themselves to head out.
The Crimson sighed softly and laid his forehead against Lilia's in an attempt to control the urges he had boiling up inside him, for now…but not without leaving a reminder to the woman beneath him that their foreplay was far from over…
In fact, it was just beginning for them, and that made him smirk softly down at Lillian. He cupped her face and chuckled at the lingering red cheeks that stained her once pale reflection, but in the fragile smile she returned to him, Kimblee could see that she agreed to it. He should've known that the girl already had idea of what was to come later. And she couldn't wait.
He couldn't help himself, before he pulled away he ever so slowly rub his lips up wards against hers, leaving behind only the feeling of his never ending lust for her, and soon sat back before anyone had come down stairs to noticed them.
When Miles and the others arrived, Lily had acted like she had been asleep this whole time, and Kimblee sat back on the same couch with his eyes close, obviously thinking to the Major as he approached the two, "We're heading out now, I suggest you two be careful, there are dangerous everywhere."
"I'm sure." Kimblee said smiling wildly as he opened his eyes up to the Ishvalan behind him. He could see that Edward was right behind him as well, his face none too happy with whatever they had discussed upstairs it seemed. It was just the first assumption Kimblee had made since he had seen that face so many times on a soldiers face it was un-canning.
"Tell Lily be safe."
"I will." Kimblee merely smirked back with a slight smug to his words as they both looked at one another in a staring contest.
With those last reminiscing moments, Edward, Miles, and his men all left, Loyally, and definitely up to something in Kimblee's eyes. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was going to happen…But what?
It had occurred to him again that Lily had refused to tell him what she heard from the Fullmetal Alchemist earlier that day, and when it remember it, his gaze shifted over to the girl that was throwing her hands behind her head after she had yawned and stretched out her arms still they reached the back of her head, "So, shall we follow?"
"In a minute." He said straightening up his winter jacket and scarf, placing his hat upon his head as he lifted himself up off the couch, and gave a hand to the girl still sprawled out on the couch.
In return Lillian smiled widely up at the man before her, and grabbed Kimblee's hand to have him lift her up with barely any use of his strength. They both stared back at one another as if wanting to finish off what they had started twice, but as that idea passed, the thought of their main objective began to interfere, "I say we finish up here…Then we'll figure out what to do with ourselves." Lillian tried to talk in code, but it was obvious what she as talking about. Kimblee just smirked more and gave a tender laugh within his throat before taking a hand full of her hair, and took in the floral scent of it.
"You mean leave?" He asked her staring back to await her answer.
"Mm-hmm. I don't think we'll get the privacy we wish for here…Besides, our goal catching Scar is getting away fast." She purred back stepping into his chest to stare him down like prey. Kimblee could feel that intent with no questions, and merely kissed the strands as he released her hair, and wrapped an arm around her shoulders to lead her out the door, "Right you are. Although, one thing has me puzzled Fancy-Face." He then took her chin, and had her look to him as they came to meet the bitter cold before them, "I'm listening…" She chimed to him.
"What did you see while you were back at the abandon warehouse with the Elric brother's. I know you saw something…Heard something…Because it was obvious you wanted to tell me what it was you heard."
"Oh. That's right I never did tell you…But…" She trailed off, knowing that Kimblee was fully listening when she pulled him by his collar, and leaned her lips into the side of his jaw, just inches away from his open ear, "I suggest we just keep our eyes open for the others…" That was all she need to say to get the man's interest. He knew all too well of the codes she used to mention snipers, and her sick sense of humor in playing hide and seek with her enemies as well as the crimson when she wanted to.
After hearing this news, Kimblee only grinned widely at her, and smashed his lips into hers to make her gasp back and allow the Alchemist to invade her mouth with his long think tongue. He swirled it around wildly, and pulled back to only laugh and rub his nose against Lillian's until their foreheads touched, with his hands now holding the sides of her face as he laughed even more, "You really are the only one who can bring out the primal instincts in me, you know that right?" It was a rhetorical question, but what could she do?
Lilia couldn't help but laughed too, with every bit of adrenaline that Kimblee felt running through his veins at that very moment. She it felt too, ten fold, and the excitement of reliving her once unpredictable life, was now forming into an ecstatic one.
How could she resist a life that was worth living for? With the rush of anxieties, and open opportunities knocking at her door, she finally took his hand, and held it tightly in between her own and slowly, almost unsurely pecked his lips back before pulling him into the snow, letting their feet leave behind prints of new memories being made. Ones that brought them home to Central, and Ishval.
Before long the two were back at the scene they had previously left. The search for Scar was far from over, and with the place about to fall apart, Lily and Kimblee knew they had such little time before the others would make their move.
It had become quiet around them, almost dead quiet as a blow of the wind came from their right. It was just them, the missing Briggs men, Scar, and a whole of ground to cover in a short amount of time.
To tell the truth, Lily was beginning to wonder if a gun was already point to her head…
Only one way to find out
Next- Chapter X: Once Upon A Time
Even if they seem to be in a jam, Kimblee can't help but talk about their past when the Lotus's were at their best.
And all while the two evade the eyes of their enemies, they begin to reminisce on past events. Both of them rekindling a fire that burn brighter with each passing second.
