Wow, I've been getting great reviews about this story both here and on LiveJournal. Look's like I've finally found something that people like:D I feel really original now, considering I don't think anyone on has written a story like this before (please correct me if I'm wrong.) Oh yeah, I forgot to mention my ideas on the rating last time. For now I'm keeping it T, just because there isn't anything too too bad coming up, there just may be one chapter that I'll mark as M, but that'll depend on how the story goes. However, if you guys could let me know how you feel about that, it would be great. It's always better to plan ahead in my opinion! All right! ON WITH CHAPTER TWO!

Transfer
By Rukusho

Chapter 2- Details

"The transfer sir, it's for me." Roy stared at her for a moment, his mind trying to process the words of his first lieutenant. He was silent for a few minutes; nope the words didn't make any sense to him.

"Say that again Hawkeye," for some reason the words 'transfer' and 'Hawkeye' didn't make logical sense in Roy's mind.

"I'm being transferred back to Central, sir." Once again, Riza proved that she could hide her emotions very well, showing no hint of sadness or joy in her voice.

"Oh…" His brain couldn't form any words; he couldn't read Hawkeye and had no idea how to respond. Roy wasn't speechless because he was shocked, but because he had never been in this type of situation before. "So when do you leave for Central?"

"Sunday morning, so I can report for duty on Monday in Central." Hawkeye's voice hadn't changed; she seemed almost robotic in her responses now. There was a knock on the door, and Cain Fury entered with another small stack of papers.

"Here's another set of Friday reports Colonel," he walked over to the Colonel's desk and placed them on an empty corner, "I hate to ease drop, but who's going back to Central?"

Mustang hesitated in giving his answer, trying to find the best way to word his response; however, Riza answered the young Sergeant Major's question as if it were any type of ordinary order, "I just received orders to go back to Central."

"Oh, have you found a place for Black Hayate to stay. We can hide him at my place if you're just going to be gone for a few days."

"That would be great Sergeant Major, but it's just that—" Riza was really trying to keep him out of trouble, knowing that her absence would be much longer than a few days.

"Oh, if you're going to be a bit longer than a week, I'm sure that 2nd Lieutenant Havok will be glad to take in Black Hayate." Riza really was touched that he was trying to hard to find a temporary home for Black Hayate, but she really needed to find more of a permanent situation for him.

"Listen, Fury, it's really nice that you're offering your place for Black Hayate to stay, but I need to find a more permanent home for him. I've been transferred to Central." Riza let out a small sigh, not knowing any other way to put it.

"But, if you're being transferred to Central, can't you take him with you?"

"I could, but I'm only going to be in Central for six weeks, then the military is sending me out into the field. I think I'll see of Gracia will take Black Hayate in." Once again, Riza showed no concern over the transfer, just the interest in getting her belongings organized.

"Hold up Hawkeye," it was Roy's turn to interrupt her, "the military is sending you out into open combat again? Where are they sending you now?" Riza noted something was different about Roy when he said that, something new lingered in his voice, and she couldn't quite grasp what it was.

"I honestly do not know where I'm going sir. The orders just said that I am to train the new cadets under Major Armstrong's command, then in six weeks take them out into the field to aid the troops already out there."

An alarm went off in the back of Roy's head. Something doesn't feel right about this transfer. Why would they send her back out into active duty? Is there going to be another massacre? So many questions flooded the young Colonel's head; he didn't even notice Fury ask Riza if he could tell the rest of the company. Interestingly enough, she gave him the go ahead, saying that she wouldn't have the time to tell them anyways. He snapped out of his sea of suspicious questions when she addressed him again.

"Sir, would you mind if I went home early today? I've finished all my paperwork for the day, and I really need to start making arrangements."

"You're more than welcome to Hawkeye. It's understandable too, considering the military gave you not even two days notice before you're supposed to be in Central. If you need anything, don't hesitate to call me and I'll come over."

Riza stood up and pushed her chair in. She found a box over in the corner and placed her personal belonging in it, cleaning out her desk. Who'd ever think that I'd end up cleaning out my desk before Havok. It really is ironic how things turn out some times. She sighed as she finished placing the last few items in the box. She grabbed the box and headed towards the door.

"Hawkeye!" Riza turned around when he shouted her name. She leaned against the door, resting the box on a razed leg.

"Yes sir?"

"I'll come over around 10 tomorrow morning and help you pack. It's the least I can do. Afterwards, would you like to go out to an early dinner?" Riza nodded towards him, noting the almost pleading tone in his voice to help.

"That'd be very nice sir. I'll see you then." She quickly exited the Colonel's office, seeing that the door to the staff room was closed and all her co-workers were missing from the main office. She really wanted to say goodbye to them, but didn't have the time. She rushed out of the office and down the stairs, heading out the door of the building and towards her small apartment, which was only a few blocks away. It dawned on Riza how much she needed to get done tonight and tomorrow.

To be continued…

A/N: All right! Chapter two is now set in stone! Poor Riza! She didn't even get to say goodbye to everyone. Sorry it's a bit short again. It's just that I don't want to get to far into another idea and have people get bored. I hate when that happens So, what did you all think? I can't wait to see the reviews for this chapter Until next time!
