Sinful Doings Chapter Twelve

Disclaimer: I do not own Full METAL ALCHEMIST or ENVY (no matter how hard I try). I only own Nirvana Seiga and the title of The Bloodied Alchemist. Oh, and Neko Kirishima. (Well, my sister (Neko Kirishima) owns her—well, Neko is Neko… Ah, you don't understand.)

Author's Note: What to say… nothing really… just, did anyone guess at why I brought Hohenheim back? Also, in the manga version Hohenheim controls the sins (AND KILLS GREED!) but in this, Lust and Sloth brought him back from the other side forcefully, one last time.

DEDICATED TO:

Alina: I hope you like this. I wrote most of it while chomping down on Krad's muffins and my pop's cake. This was done –of course—at 3AM. I hate chimeras. Krad does too. But he wants Envy to sing "The Twelve Days of Christmas" again.(huggles) Sorry I had sugar for breakfast.

Maruken:No rape. Sorry, but even I had to lighten up off that.

Neko-chan:Neko! (glomp) Let's see if I can make you puke somewhere in this chapter… possibly go into a very dark and gloomy Chimera's mind? (shudder)

WARNINGS: BLOOD AND GORE and all other necessities. Also, there is a slight spoiler warning on who Envy's actual form really is.


LAST…

(((( The figure made a sound and slowly lifted its head, dirty blonde hair pulled into a neck ponytail, and strands falling into his face. He yawned and slipped on a pair of glasses. When his dark brown eyes latched onto Envy, he smiled.

"Hello Envy."

Envy snarled and his lip pulled back all too unconsciously. He got ready to lunge at the blonde. "Bastard... HOHENHEIM!" ))))

NOW…


Hohenheim smiled slightly and popped his back. Envy growled, his amethyst eyes narrowing down to mere slits and he walked foreword, hissing at the alchemist.

"What the hell are you doing here, Hiretsukan!" Envy hissed out, his claws itching to be buried into the warm, flesh but too curious not to.

Hohenheim shrugged. "I work here." He looked over his shoulder into the back corner. "I work… with you."

Envy snorted and crossed his arms, seriously doubting that Lust would hire the one man/human/mortal/immortal/animal that he hated, no loathed to the ends of time. "What are all of the chimera's for?"

"I was told to create them. The one with the nifty chest tattoo. She said they would be used later for some purpose." Hohenheim shrugged slightly and tossed the silver-lined whistle up, catching it in one gloved hand.

Envy snorted and shook his head, trying to kill the last of the drunkenness that had affected him in the sewer. "Here. I figured it would get you sick." Hohenheim handed him a small white pill that Envy took reluctantly. He popped it in his mouth turned his back to the man "Whatever. Do what you want. I'll do what I want. Just remember, the next time I see your filthy mug, I won't hesitate to shove my claws into your thick, meaty neck."

"Envy, you were never like this before." He said quietly and the homunculus snarled. Something about the way he said that reminded him of Nirvana and her unimaginable ways. Envy left the room again, the nauseating smell hitting him harshly again. His head swam and the boots trailed back up his thighs, protecting him from the sliminess.

He stumbled down the walls swaying drunkenly as he heard a vague sound of a duck coming from far off. He mumbled something and pressed a clawed hand against the wall to keep himself steady. "Rubber ducky! You're the one! You make bathtime so much fun! Rubber ducky, I'm awfully fond of you!"

Envy stopped as he saw the manhole above him and he blinked. "I dun remember it being this close…" He slurred but jumped up and out, landing in the middle of another alley. He swayed on his feet and fell over, his eyes swirling in his head. A cold feeling swept over him as his body suddenly lit on painful fire.

His eyes closed and his breathing evened out as he curled up in a small ball, wrapping his arms around his bare legs, shivers shaking his form.

(((( NEARBY ))))

Nirvana walked down the market street, a bag of fruit in one hand and a newly stitched military jacket in the other. A white shirt was thrown around her and the engraving on her chest was hidden from prying eyes.

She suddenly stopped next to a stall selling Gold Jewelry and she peered down at a golden necklace with two emeralds surrounding an amethyst that reminded her of something so familiar, yet so foreign to her mind.

"Would you like to try it on?" The merchant asked, holding it up so the pale light from the hidden sun would reflect off it. Nirvana slowly fingered it and then shook her head.

"I could never afford anything like that. But, how much is it?" The merchant answered her and the alchemist frowned. "Nine-hundred? No, I couldn't spend that much."

She sighed and continued to walk on home. Her limp was completely gone, now that Envy had stopped raping her. It was unusual; he had stopped doing that, he healed her eye and seemed unnaturally nice lately. It was a nice change, but she almost missed the sadistic side that she had met that one fateful day.

Nirvana suddenly stopped at the entrance to an alley and looked down it, seeing a black lump in the far distance. Apparently whatever Envy used on her eyes heightened her sight so he could see twice as far. She frowned and slowly slunk down the alley, having flashbacks of what happened last time she was in an alley.

As she got nearer to the lump, she saw that it was a human and with long black-green hair. She dropped her items and ran towards the human where she dropped to her knees and rolled him over.

She bit her lip as she saw that is was Envy and when she rested her hand on his forehead, pulled it back with a slight yelp. He was burning up! Nirvana pulled his head into her lap and tried to wake him up. "Envy, Envy!" She shook his shoulders and one purple eye opened, matching the amethyst that she had seen on that necklace.

"Chizome?" He asked quietly, his eyes unfocused. He tried to sit up but she pushed him back down and rested her hand on his forehead. "My head hurts… and why do I feel so cold?" Nirvana frowned and ran her hand under his shirt, feeling that he was hot as there well.

"You're sick, Senbou." She said simply and pulled him up, letting the homunculus lean against her side. She stopped and looked at him. He's a homunculus. Homunculi are supposed to be immortal. How can they get sick with a simple cold or flu?

Envy shivered in her arms and his eyes dropped. "The… pill…" He whispered, tremors going through his body as she slowly walked where her items where. She looked at Envy.

"Think you can be a child so I can carry you?" She asked and a minute later, a small black-haired boy child lay in her arms, shivering uncontrollably. She threw her military jacket over him and sat the bag of fruit over her shoulder, wrapping her arms tighter around the child homunculus in her arms.

Worry blossomed in her chest and she hurried past the gold vendor, the necklace sparkling. Envy moaned quietly and shifted, the long black hair falling over her arms. He started to break out in a cold sweat and she bit her lip, catching curious looks as she hurried past them.

'Neko! Neko should be able to figure out what's wrong with him! She's always been the best at healing!' With that thought in mind, she changed course towards Neko's hotel room, hoping that she was still with there.

Envy opened one drowsy child-like purple eye and he squinted, trying to pull the blurry picture together. "Nirvana?" He asked, half asleep before slipping back into painful unconsciousness just as the rain started to drizzle.

(((( NEKO'S HOTEL ROOM ))))

"Neko! Neko! Open up!" Neko lifted her head from the desk and looked sleepily at the door where heavy pounding was coming from.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." She mumbled and stumbled to the door, opening it to see Nirvana slightly dishevled and dripping wet. In her arms was a wet, black-haired child.

Neko looked at the trembling child in her sister's arms, and then opened the door further, moving out of the way for them to walk in. "What happened? Who's the kid?"

Nirvana walked in and sat on the couch, the child laying across her lap, her arms tightly wrapped around him. She looked up at Neko with big eyes that were swimming with guilt, regret and anger. "It's Envy, Neko." She said quietly, watching the emotions flicker across her sister's face.

"Envy? But wasn't Envy a—"

Nirvana impatiently interrupted her with a wave of her hand. "Take care of him now, then I'll…" she bit back, hesitation showing clear across her green eyes. She looked down in fright and whimpered quietly. "And then I'll tell you." She finally whispered, pushing a strand of hair from the child Envy's pale face.

"What's wrong with him?" Neko finally asked and sat on the coffee table in front of them, reaching foreword to touch the homunculus's forehead. She suddenly yanked her hand back as if burned, cradling it against her chest. "He's burning up!"

Nirvana stilled as the child suddenly was engulfed in a white light and the body stretched, turning into a blonde-haired man. "Oh my…" Neko whispered. "He looks like Edo-kun!"

The man that was now stretched across the couch with his head on Nirvana's lap certainly did look like Edward. He had dark wavy blonde hair and a face structure that looked like Ed's. Neko's eyes drifted down Envy's body until they reached his thigh were the Oruborus was tattooed on his upper thigh. "A homunculus?" She whispered, her eyes wide with fright as she looked up at her sister. "Vana… who is he? WHAT is he?"

Envy gave a painful moan and his tremors started anew. Nirvana looked at Neko and bent over Envy, her shirt falling open and exposing the top of Envy's engraving. "It'll tell you. Just please… he isn't supposed to be like this."

The two sisters stared at each other until Neko lunged foreword and threw off the white shirt, exposing the 'E' and the 'Y'. "You'll tell me everything, Nirvana."

(((( THE ELRIC'S HOTEL ROOM ))))

Sig Curtis stood outside of the Elric's hotel room, his hand poised for knocking. He hesitantly knocked twice and immediately there was a chain of curses and yells coming from inside until a half naked Full Metal Alchemist answered the door, his mop of blonde hair wrapped in a towel.

When he saw who it was, he lowered his automail hand and looked around. "Oi, Sig. Where's Sensai?" He missed the crestfallen look on Sig's face.

"That's… that's what I came to talk to you about." Al and Winry's faces appeared behind Ed and they opened the door, letting the burly man walk in.

"What happened?" Al asked and sat down on the couch with Winry.

"She's… she's dead." Sig said quietly, missing the knowing look on Ed's face.

"She was mauled, wasn't she?" Ed said, looking out the window.

Sig looked up. "How did you know?"

"Another strong alchemist was killed recently. They think it's Scar, but it doesn't fit his pattern. Plue—" His explanation was cut off by a series of heavy knocks on the door. "It's open!"

Four military officals ran in, looking haggard and unnaturally pale. "Her body… it's gone!"

Al and Ed looked at them sharply. "What?"

"When we went to unload it, the body was disappeared and all that was there was a small white faceless doll! We have no idea what happened to her!"

Ed looked at Al.

"Alchemy."

(((( UNKNOWN ))))

"Heh, heh, heh… you are so pathetic… so… human…" Lust drawled idly, leaning against the wall and peering into the shadows.

"Why do you keep us here?" A deep old voice demanded, his voice lined with fear.

Lust smiled and cocked her head to the side in an all-too-innocent gesture. "We have our reasons. How could you not expect us to continue and try to achieve our goal?"

"You know, you will be stopped." A higher, deep, male voice spoke up and it thrummed it hidden power.

"Who will stop us?"

"The Elrics." A deep, gravely woman's voice said.

Lust chuckled and stepped into the shadows, lifting the chin of the woman. "Ah, do you really put that much faith into your students, Izumi Curtis?"

Izumi lifted her head, smirking confidentaly. "Yes. Yes I do."


There! Another beautiful chapter! Next chapter: Nirvana explains everything. More things happen... this story is drawing to a close... (sniff sniff)
