Disclamier: I don't own, but I've got a plan, a plan that could go far...
Lust ambled on into her room after a day of tracking the somewhat elusive Fullmetal, expecting to resign the end of the day to relaxation, oh how wrong she was. The first sign something was wrong was the fact that something was missing, as well as someone.
"Temptation? Tem? Where are you?" She called out, searching for her missing charge.
No reply.
"Tem?" She peered around the large four poster bed, her eyes locking on the figure sitting cross-legged in a corner with one hand behind her back. It peered through it's long ebony emerald bangs, staring at Lust with slitted violet eyes, a sheepish grin spread across it's face.
"Temptation, what did you do?" She was answered by a low quizzical gutteral noise. However, she'd been around the new homunculous for so long, she could practically understand everything it said or implied.
"You know what you did. What's behind your back?"
The apparently female creature let out a throaty chuckle and hesitantly brought out what she had been hiding.
" I TOLD you not to mess with anything sharp, metal, or not yours. Do you know who this belongs to?"
"Errusssssst?"
"No, not me, try again."
"Drrragggggteeeee?"
"Not Dante either."
The creature, Tem, became silent lost in thought on whom the dagger belonged to.
"Envy Tem, that dagger belongs to Envy." Lust sighed, shaking her head making black locks fall everywhere, obscuring her vision.
Temptation's violet orbs widened then slanted, a deep growl began to resonate from her throat. Lust sighed again.
"You can try all you want, but you can't beat him. Use common sense, he has years, hell centuries on you, how can you compete with that?" The growling only increased.
"Fine, but you know he's going to want it back. In fact I believe he's supposed to come pick it up today actually."
Snarling began to accompany the growling. Suddenly the door opened and in the doorway stood Envy, waiting for his dagger to be returned. The feral noises ceased, replaced by a cocky sneer. She sashyed up to him and twirled the punctured blade around her fingers. Envy's eyes narrowed significantly.
"You damn pest, what the HELL DID YOU DO TO MY DAGGER!"
She snorted and continued to smirk, eyeing him lazily.
"You damn BITCH! You broke my dagger!" Rage began to consume him. How DARE that wench break HIS dagger then have the GALL to show up in front of him and act so nonchalant about it!
She rolled her violet slitted puipls and snorted melodramatically.
Without warning he lunged at her but she anticipated that and quickly sidestepped it. But he recovered fast and sent a round house kick right to her head, flinging her into a dresser.
"My vanity." Lust moaned, but was ignored.
She caught herself and managed to spin around just in time to block another kick aimed at her head. Her leg lashed out and connected with his gut, sending him staggering backwards. A fist came flying at his head but he easily evaded it and sent a kick which connected with her side, sending her flying hip first into a wall. Tem was sure she heard something crack but was to enveloped in the fight to pay it any mind. But before she could get back up for another round Envy lodged his foot in her stomach and stomped down, HARD. Blood spurted from her mouth and she struggled to get free, however during said fight she'd forgotten about the dagger in her hand.He ruthlessly tore it from her grip and put it on a table top where it wouldn't get more damaged.
Deliberatly, he dug his nails into her wrists and pinned her to the floor.
"Pathetic. Utterly pathetic" He sneered at her and punched her in the face for good measure, then grabbed his broken dagger and walked out of the room mumbling something about morons and precious weaponry, slamming the door on his way out.
"Temptation, I TOLD you you wouldn't win, now look at you, covered in blood." She peered down at the fallen homunculous.
Tem shrugged her shoulders and snorted, shaking the blood of her chest, stood up and made a whining noise.
"NO, you NEED a shower, you're covered in blood and you haven't had a decent shower today."
Tem whined again.
"NOW."
This time Temptation trudged over to the bathroom.
"Stupid girl, foolish girl. Why does she persist on deliberatly angering Envy? Or Greed for that matter, when the idiot wanders in here? Maybe because she didn't like guys before she died? Or was it..." Lust nodded her head.
Yes, it had to be that. It was too much of a coincidence. Lust chuckled to herself.
"She's got the same problems I had." She whispered to herself, thinking back on how she acted.
"After all, temptation is a side-effect of lust."
Maruken: SORRY for the shortness of the latest three chapters. I just needed to get the new character intros out of the way, now the real fun begins. Fun full of manipulation, decit, trickery, treachery, rage, ignorance, angst, sorrow and a whole hell out of a lot of suffering and revalation. The psyche has never been so much fun.
Read and review and please, PLEASE, PLEASE I beg of you PLEASE tell me if they sound like Mary Sues!
