Hagane no Neko

Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist, nor do I own any of it's characters.

Note: I dunno. I just finished watching the entire FmA series a few hours ago that I bought on Ebay for only 3 cents... I like Episode 37. I miss Lust just as much as Gluttony. Martyl's cool. I liked Wrath better before he ate the stones. I'm gonna buy the movie when it comes out in Japan. Yep, the story of my life, lol.

Transmutation Nine

Wednesday PT 1: Good Heavens!

"So, Hughes, has the Investigations Department found anything yet? It's been nearly five days." Roy said into the receiver of the phone. There was a bit of silence. "WELL?"

"Um. . . about that, Roy. . . uuhhh. . ." On the other line, Hughes scratched the back of his head. The raven haired man groaned in annoyance.

"You don't have to tell me. You haven't even started on investigating yet, HAVE YOU?"

"We did question the criminal. . ."

"His response!.?"

"Well. . . all he did was laugh evilly and said that we'd never find out, no matter how much voltage we tortured him with. . ."

"YOU ELECTRICUTED HIM!.?"

"We stopped after a while." Hughes sighed, and stared at a picture of his dear daughter Elicia. "anyhow, how strong is your relationship going with Ed-" BLING

Roy slammed down the phone, hanging up on the other man. Hughes stared at his receiver.

"I was only asking. . ." he grumbled.

"SIR! GET YOUR FEET OFF THE DESK!.!.!.!"

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"So, what did he say?" Edward asked, standing by the sink in the kitchen, getting something to drink.

"They didn't find anything yet." Roy scratched the back of his head, the other hand in his pocket. "what about you? Do you know anything about this? You know, getting back to normal?"

"I've only seen the circle used once before, and that was in one of the books I was reading," the younger male answered. "I didn't really think it would have been of that much importance, so I just skipped it." he rubbed his nose with the back of his hand, kitty ears twitching. He realized the raven haired man was watching, adoring the kawaiiness going on at the moment, so Ed put his hand down in haste and drank some juice.

"You should know, Taisa," he said. "I have blackmail on you."

"Really? How so?" Roy asked, smirking.

"Nobody knows you like cute little things. If you do anything to me, think about what could happen when your men find out." it was now Ed's turn to smirk, but he realized it was pointless, since the other man still was.

"Actually. . ." he placed his hand on his own chin in cleverness. "they already know, but don't really pay much attention to it. . ."

"Crap."

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Edward looked out the window several minutes later. When was the last time he got a breath of fresh air? Okay, that was easy, but it felt like years. He had to find a way to get out of this stuffy old place. Okay, it wasn't old and stuffy, but. .

The teen looked around. There was no back yard, so he had to find a way to slip out with no one noticing.

Ed pulled up his sleeves and spit at his hands. He rubbed them together, and prepared to open the window. All righty, Ed. I am my strength. I am the window. The window is evil. But then I would be evil. If I open it, the evil will be gone. . . (1)The young neko boy's concentration was broken when Roy walked past him.

"Don't even think about it," he said. Ed grumbled. A few minutes later. . .

Ed stared at the door. He felt like he was going to go mad if he didn't get out of that place soon. The teen looked around, and proceeded to go with his plan.

He grabbed the doorknob, and slowly turned it. He licked the side of his mouth, as sweat dribbled down the side of his face and neck. Slowly. . . slowly. . .

"Don't even think about it, Edo-kun." Roy said, startling the younger male.

"I just need air!" Ed cried. The raven haired man smirked.

"You could have just stuck your head out of the highest window of the house for the most freshest air you could ever smell in your life." he said.

"Really?"

"Really."

"Where?"

"Let me think. . . ever heard of Equivalent Exchange?"

"Never mind. I'll suffer."

"Kidding!" Roy laughed, walking upstairs. "it's in the attic."

"YOU have an attic?" Ed asked in surprise.

"It's a mansion, Full Neko. Have you forgotten?"

"This place is getting to my head. . ." the younger boy grumbled, not hearing the 'Full Neko' comment.

The two walked over to a door that Ed completely forgot about. It was by Roy's bedroom, but he had paid no attention to it.Roy opened the door, and let Ed walk in first, being the kind gentleman he is. Ed kept his eye on the sadistic colonel, just in case the older man decided to lock him in there. Instead, Roy followed in afterwards, leaving the door open. Edward took note of this, just in case he had to make a break for it.

Roy led the way up the attic. The younger male noticed it was kind of getting colder, and shivered a bit. He hoped that it was warm outside.

The two alchemists got to a room, filled with junk and antiques, not to mention cobwebs, dust, and bugs. Ed let out a squeaky sneeze, making Roy chuckle. They got to a window.

"Well, here we are." the raven haired man said. He placed his hand on a latch that held the window closed, and let it loose. He motioned for Ed to come nearer, and the cat boy obeyed. Roy opened the window, and let Ed stick his head out.

The boy thought it had been forever since he got a taste of fresh air. He looked down at the ground, and saw a figure walk up to the mansion, not noticing the feline spy.

"Eh, Taisa? Someone's here. . ." the teen said. There was a bit of silence, and Roy suddenly jumped.

"Oh, SHIT!" he yelled, racing out of the attic, and down the stairs.

Never in Ed's life has he heard anyone cuss more than he did.

REVIEW!

(1) You would get this part if you've seen this one episode of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, where Matt (or was his name Max or Mac?) tries to go bowling, and the bowling pins are the 'evil.' Hey, if it looks kind of different, don't yell at me. I only saw the episode twice, okay!.?
