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: Hey! Well, I hate for this story to end… but, alas… there is only going to be maybe 5 or so chapters… maybe less considering how long I make the chapters. DOUBLE UPDATE!
DEDICATED TO:
Nyoko Iso: Even though you hate Envy-kun… I'll make you like him somehow.
Neko-chan:HAHA! You finally get to kick my ass!
WARNINGS: BLOOD AND GORE and all other necessities.
LAST…
((((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 confidently. "Yes. Yes I do." ))))
NOW…
I watched as Neko crouched over my rapist. Rapist… Such a silly word now that I think about it. My first encounter with him, that one fateful day, I had been willing. Willing to be raped in my own shower, willing to allow him to rape me three times (and Kimblee even got a chance!). My body craved the touch of the one who could hurt me in such a way that it brought me a sick sense of pleasure.
The day I met him was the day my old life was over and a new one began; full of alchemic reactions and the complex notions of the homunculi. Just the way he's acted: the velvet-soft kisses, and the way he would actually help me heal after his sessions.
Love is a funny emotion. I know that it's almost impossible to find the one that you're destined to be with, but I always wanted to find that one man. That one man who could make my heart stop beating with a single, heated glance. The one man who could make me do the stupidest of things when he is in the barest hint of danger.
I looked at Neko as she pulled Envy's mouth open and peered in. I saw her wince as her red-tinged eyes swept over the two long canines that I have personal scars to show from.
I knew she had already found her destined mate. Edward Elric was her exact opposite, but yet they were so completely alike. Ying and Yang is what I called them. Anytime now, he'd propose, she'd accept, they'd get married and then run off to have two beautiful kids in the deep countryside.
"He was poisoned." Neko said and sat back on her haunches, a frown gracing her beautiful features. "But I have no idea from what. You said he has a perfect immune system, so who would have enough experience to poison him?"
I frowned and sat back down on the couch, setting his head on my thigh. 'The… the pill.' I shot up. "He said something about a pill when I found him. Hey, Envy…" I started to prod his forehead, making his features crinkle up as his breathing sped up. "Senbou…" One amethyst eye opened and peered up at me.
"What?" He mumbled and snuggled into my leg, making my face flush a bright red.
"What was that pill you were talking about?"
"I was supposed to make me not drunk anymore…" He mumbled softly and I poked his nose again.
"Who gave it to you?"
"Hohenheim." He fell back asleep and I blinked. Hohenheim sounded so familiar… too familiar for my liking…
"Hohenheim?" Neko sat up on the glass coffee table and crossed her legs under her long dark red skirt. "That name sounds familiar, doesn't it? Well, anyways, I can cure it."
"Really?"
"Yes. And then you will tell me everything. And I mean Everything, Nirvana."
(((( AT THE TRAIN STATION ))))
"This doesn't look very familiar…" Al said as he lifted the doll and turned it over to see an alchemic circle carved there.
It was a giant circle with a star in the middle of a triangle and four hyphens connecting various bits of the triangle with the star.
"It wasn't done by one of them, they can't do alchemy." Ed said in an undertone as he surveyed the body bag. "And the only one who could do it was the kid, Wrath and I don't think that the others want to take the kid back after betraying them."
"You never know, Brother. He could have done this." Al said and handed the doll to one of the military police. "What about the others? Couldn't there have been a new Greed, or a new Pride? They could do alchemy if they were created possibly."
Ed shook his head. "I would know. Each and every one of them attacks me at some time or another. The only ones are Sloth, Wrath—if he's still alive—Lust, Gluttony and Envy."
Al leaned against the building and sighed. 'Brother was the smartest alchemist that I've ever known, but he's so dense!'
"Ed, why don't you go and check up on Neko-san? I should think that she'd like a little company on a dreary night like this…" Ed, who was unprepared for the sudden sexual innuendo, tripped over his own feet and glared up at his brother, blushing furiously.
"Shut up." But he stuffed his hands in his pockets and started to walk off into the rain-filled streets. "I'll see you later!"
"I'll be at the library! Have fun! Use protection!" A few of the military officials snickered as the blonde alchemist picked up his pace.
"I hate you Al!" He yelled back and disappeared.
"I love you too!"
(((( NEKO'S ROOM ))))
"—and that's where you met him. By that time he had already… yeah, well.. you get the point." Nirvana said as she held Neko's wrists above her head, pressing her younger sister into the hotel wall.
"I'll kill him! Let me go! I'll kill him!" Neko shouted furiously and tried to break Nirvana's grasp to jump at Envy who was still a blonde and asleep on the couch.
"Shut up. I thought you wanted to know the story?" Nirvana said coldly, glaring down at the redhead. Neko shut up but kept her red-tinged gaze on the homunculus. "Then, when I fought him, he never meant to hit me." She said quietly. "He was aiming for Edward, but when he called out, 'Hagane no Chibi' I thought he was calling me because he calls me, 'Chizome no Chibi'. It hit me, which made me loose my arm," she tightened her automail on Neko's wrist, "and my sight in one eye. Now, before you go all psycho again, a day ago or so, he healed my eyesight somehow. So, is that at least one point up?"
Neko sneered, but said nothing.
"Well, here, I'll let you stomp around in a minute. Kimblee… he did also, as I'm sure you already guessed. I'd let you kill him, but he's just a bloody stain on my old dorm room." Nirvana let her sister go, hesitantly and shrugged off her white shirt, leaving her in her tube top which she pulled off to show the engraving on her right side of her chest. "See this? After I healed it after Envy had left on a little trip, Kimblee carved his name into my chest. When Envy saw it, HE was jealous."
Neko stopped from drawing a homunculus-draining circle and her older sister erased it. "Jealous? Really…"
"Anyways, that was the last time I was ever raped. But, Envy did re-carve his name on me." A sigh escaped the woman and she slammed her sister back against the wall. "Then when he saw me kiss Jean goodnight one night, he was jealous again. That's when he healed my eye…"
Nirvana suddenly slid to the floor, remembering what her words had been one night. 'I can't have fallen for him. Not for him. Not for this man. It's improbable, it's impossible, it's unnatural, it's…totally true…'
"Vana?" Neko threw her gaze off Envy and instead crouched in front of her sister. "Don't tell me you've fallen for this freak!"
Nirvana shook her head and laughed insanely. "No, never fallen for him. Just, the feelings I have for him currently aren't exactly the negative type. Let's call it that." Neko helped her up.
"Nirvana, just let me tell you. Even if something happens, and you and this… freak, get together… I promise to only kill him once… once a year. And it's gonna be on Christmas."
The one-eyed woman grimaced comically. "Ewww. Gross… Blood on my presents! Ewww…. And what if you and Edo have kids! They'd be traumatized for life once they see Envy grow up from a pile of skeletons and blood! It's actually quite a disturbing experience, specially if the man in question was on you... because then they pieces actually crawl over you and—"
"ENOUGH! I don't need to hear that!"
"What happened, Onna?" A groggy voice said as Nirvana turned around and promptly threw her shoe at him, hitting him squarely on the nose. "Ow! I'm sick here you know!" He said, and his voice sounded slightly high considering his nose was stuffed up with the after effects of the pill.
"Shut up, Senbou, and say thanks to my sister." She snapped, still pressing Neko against the wall. Envy eyed them with curiosity.
"What'd I miss?" He asked and sat up, the sheet falling from his bare chest. He ran a hand through his hair and blinked, seeing it was gold. "And when did I morph into this?"
"Whatever he says, I still want to kick his ass." Neko snapped and Envy's eyes locked onto hers, narrowing them dangerously.
"Thank her for what?" He hissed, his eyes still on the Bloodied Alchemists'.
"You were poisoned. She treated you. Simple as that." Nirvana replied, trying not to let her eye drift over the tanned skin that was revealed. It wasn't something she was used to. Kimblee's body was pale and muscled in the right places, a bit thin, but hot. Envy's body (the one she was more used to seeing) was very pale, muscled and he had some meat on his bones.
Envy, who noticed the way her eyes were drifting, stored this tidbit of information for future blackmail. He then—finally—turned his gaze to Neko and gave a slight bow. "Thank you for treating me. Now, let me go so I can go and kill him."
Nirvana smirked from her place next to her head. Neko blinked. "When did you move?" The black haired beauty tightened her hold on Envy's wrist, almost crushing his immortal wrist. "Who, Hohenheim?" She asked and he sent her an impossible look. "You talk in your sleep." She explained. "I guess he gave you the hangover pill? Wow… you can get drunk?"
Suddenly Nirvana lunged off the couch and held Neko back against the wall. "Both of you! Stop! Envy, stay there. We're not finished with you, yet."
Envy, who had been making his way towards the window sighed and slunk back, sitting down on the arm rest next to Nirvana who prompty grabbed his arm and held it in her metal hand.
"Who's Hohenheim? Any idea's on WHY he gave you a poisoned pill?" she asked, looking sideways at her younger sister who was throwing deadly glares at the homunculus.
Envy glared at both of the sisters, his arm being broken as he wrench it away, Nirvana tightened her grip and broke it—repeat. He finally sighed. "He's the Chibi-san's father." His victime pinched his arm, but he was staring at the window.
'Lust?' He asked mentally and a moment later the seductive voice of the female homunculus replied with a slow answer.
'Either take her now, or leave and meet Sloth above the bar. We have a deadline to make! Move quickly!' She hissed and then her presence disappeared as quickly as it came.
Nirvana loosened her grip slightly and gave a worried glance to her sister who was blinking at the spot where Envy was. He had jumped out of her hold and morphed into his pale, green-haired form, pouncing on the window sill where he opened it and jumped out before Nirvana could grab the back of his shirt.
"ENVY: She shouted as she ran to the window and looked out into the black, raining night.
"Go after him!" Neko urged and she shook her head and walked back to the couch, tracing a tattoo on her flesh palm.
"Nope. He'll show up later at my place. I'll tie him down and figure things out." Nirvana perked her ears up as she heard uneven footsteps; one heavier than the other. "Plus, I think I hear your Edo-kun. Bye!" She disappeared out of the window just as Ed opened the door, soaking and dripping wet.
"Ed! You're soaking wet! Take off those clothes immediately! I know the hotel has robes around here somewhere…" Ed blushed lightly but did as he was told and left himself in his dry boxers as Neko scurried back and threw the white cloth robe over his tanned form.
But as her eyes locked on the skin that was available to her, she suddenly wished that the sense of foreboding would leave. And it did, along with her common sense.
(((( ABOVE THE BAR WITH SLOTH ))))
"Let me guess… time to get the next alchemist?" Envy drawled with fake chiperness as he sat up upon the chimney, crossing his legs, the rain beating his hair down against his face.
Sloth crossed her arms over her chest as she stood under and umbrella that Wrath was holding up. "He should be at the library right about now. In the back section reading a thick black book. Take him today, Envy. He was catching on too quickly."
Wrath looked up at Sloth as Envy lunged off the roof. "Go with him, Wrath. Then come back here."
(((( NIRVANA'S HOME ))))
"Chizome…get the phone…" Envy mumbled and rolled over in the bed, Nirvana's long hair wrapped around his arm. "And tame this mass you call hair."
Nirvana yawned and stuck her arm out, groping for the phone. She picked it up and pulled it to her head. "Hello?"
"Nirvana! It's Al!" The Bloodied Alchemist sat up with a shock, yelping as her hair was pulled. "He's… he's been killed!" But Nirvana had already dropped the phone and was stripping out of her black nightgown and into a pair of leather pants and a red tube top. She grabbed the white shirt and her keys, running out of the house, not even noticing that Envy had been in bed with her.
'Al…' She ran down the streets, passing merchants who yelled at her to stop and children who tried to trip her with balls. She slid to a stop in front of Central Library and immediately ran up the stairs, passing the military officials and running to where she could hear Neko's choked sobs and Ed's silent whimpers.
She slid to a stop in front of Ed and collapsed to her knees, seeing the way Al was.
His body had been moved from a chair and onto the floor where they had lain his beheaded head next to the mauled body. Nirvana turned her eyes from the entrails that the officers were cleaning up and looked instead at Ed whose eyes were unseeing and glazed over, no emotion flickering through them.
"Edward?" Winry slid in a moment later and the same reaction tore from her throat, but this time a scream echoed her sobs. Neko scrambled over and held the mechanic as Roy Mustang walked in.
"Seiga, since you seem to be the only one who is under control, take Edward here outside and Kirishima, take Winry. We'll clean up here. Oh, Seiga, a word please?"
Nirvana stilled from helping Ed up and looked over her shoulder at Mustang. "Yes sir." She followed the Brigadier General to a secluded part of the library where he ordered her to sit down.
"I had heard from various military officials that they had seen you with one of the homunculus's, the green-haired one. Have you?" Nirvana held back her frightened look.
She shook her head and steadied her voice. "No Sir. I have only fought with him."
Mustang held her gaze for a few more seconds, searching her eyes. Finally he gave a slight nod and motioned for her to leave. Nirvana started to walk but Mustang's voice stopped her, "Havoc has been much better at work since you showed up, Seiga. Don't mess this up."
She bowed her head, her messy black hair covering her eyes as she gave a choked, "Yes sir." And walked back to where she helped Ed up.
Not even her sister noticed the silent tears coursing down Nirvana's face, only Edward who eyes had been locked on his feet, felt the icy drops falling on his shoulder as she walked him home.
And one other figure, perched on the roof of the library stared down at Nirvana with disgust coating her face. "Falling for a homunculus. Never a good move child."
Lust jumped off the roof and landed behind the library where Gluttony and Sloth were waiting. "Sloth, I want you to take care of Flame. We have two days till the Full Moon. Gluttony, take this to him in the Sewers. I'll take care of Envy."
The two disappeared and Lust crossed her arms over her chest, sneering unpleasantly. "Envy… Two alchemist's left… How are you to bend to our will?"
YAY! A freaking double update! I'm so freaking good! Oh, yeah, oh yeah! Who wants more? (waits for cheers) Oh yeah! Okay, well, I'm sorry for the people here who don't want this to end, NEITHER DO I!
