Chapter Twelve: Death of Lust

Mustang growled low in his throat.

"Go after her!" Kaiya cried blocking a strike with her shotgun. It was cut to pieces in her hands, but she didn't care. She could still kick ass. That's why she'd become Mustang's new secretary. She could take care of herself. Mustang dove down while dodging more fingers.

"Can you deal here?" He asked rolling to in the opposite direction. Kaiya brought a leg up to back kick lust away from the two of them.

"Yes! Now go!" She yelled doing a running leap to do a handstand out of Gluttony's way and then drop kick Lust.

"I'll be back!" Mustang promised running off down the hall. Mustang found himself praying he'd be able to save both Kaiya and Riza. Now, he wasn't a religious man, but something told him the time was about right to start praying no matter what his religious preference.

"He'll be here soon." Grant whispered gleefully. Riza glared up at him.

"He'll kill you." She repeated. Grant barked a laugh as he'd done just about any other time she'd said that Mustang would kill him. There was no way the man would. Grant had the upper hand. This was his territory after all. His jurisdiction. Mustang was from Central and periodically Eastern Command. This year he was at Eastern Command.

"I'll have fun slicing his guts out of him Ms. Hawkeye." He bent forward to run his tongue up her cheek. She squirmed away from him. "Now, now Ms. Hawkeye. No moving." He whispered huskily placing a hand on her leg. A repeat of the previous Tuesday… he moved it further up her thigh…to the top where he'd also moved her skirt. A hand slipped below the hem and she cringed.

Riza tried not to let him know he was severely scaring her now. There was going to be more rape involved in this assault. She could feel it. Hurry Mustang! She pleaded.

"Trying to kill me are you?" Lust asked Kaiya.

Kaiya had to bring a hand up to wipe excess blood from her face. Lust had snapped her fingers across her cheek; cutting it.

"Of course." Kaiya answered smiling maliciously.

"That's not being a young lady."

"I'm not an ordinary girl." Kaiya grunted punching Lust hard enough to send her flying again. "I'm not an ordinary girl." Kaiya repeated incase the homunculi didn't hear her. "Now I'll kick your ass." She said.

Ten minutes later a bright light burst the door open on the room that held First Lieutenant Hawkeye and she knew it was The Flame. As Mustang barreled through the remnants of the burning door he punched Grant and knocked him over. He then veered over to her and quickly untied her.

"Go upstairs and help Kaiya. She's fighting some things to help me."

"Colonel Mustang sir."

"Just go First Lieutenant." He ordered turning away from her. Grant was standing up now and wiping blood from his face. Riza cocked a grin at Grant and took off to help Kaiya.

"That's a mighty fine operation you've got there Mustang."

"That's Colonel to you," Mustang growled throwing another punch which caused Grant to grunt from the blow; "and I'm just getting started on kicking your ass!"

"Get back!" Kaiya yelled at Riza who'd just come up behind her. Riza and Kaiya rolled to the left at the same time.

This fight was beginning to tire Kaiya to the point where she'd kill whatever hit her next. There was no excuse for such a fight to go on. She looked over at the First Lieutenant and smiled.

"Nice to see you again too Kaiya."

"Sorry First Lieutenant, but I've a fight on my hands."

"As I can see. Got a pistol anywhere under that mini-skirt?"

"As a matter of fact…" Kaiya trailed off and hiked her skirt up to reveal a hidden holster with gun and knife. "How's that for having a firearm under my mini-skirt?"

"Works for me." Hawkeye answered catching it as it was tossed to her. She then opened fire on the beasts in front of her.

"I tire of this." Lust whispered standing; though she was full of bullet holes.

"And we tire of fighting you. Lay down and die already." Kaiya growled.

"Now, that wouldn't be fair. You see, I've two more lives left. That gives me time enough to slaughter the both of you." She said smiling.

"Not if they get to you first." Lust whirled in time to feel a fist in her face and three knives stick her in the alchemy circle on her chest.

"I guess that's it then. It was a pleasure…fighting you." Lust said bursting into a blinding light and disappearing.

"That wasn't any fun!" Havoc cried.

"Oh, shut up!" First Lieutenant Hawkeye yelled.

"HAWKEYE!" The men cried in unison.

She stood there bracing for the feel of Armstrong's arms suddenly around her. He circled her and the others in a big bear hug with her in the middle.

"This isn't fair!" She cried.

"Can I eat them now Lust?" A hungry voice asked behind them. Half of the thing was newly riddled with bullet holes.

"Nah, we might give you a belly ache." Hughes answered sending it to join the one named Lust.

"Is that it then?" Havoc asked.

"For now." Hawkeye said.

Behind them they could hear a big explosion.

"Mustang's just getting started." She whispered closing her eyes dreamily.
