FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST 9
How Stupidy Can Get the Best of Us
On the picture was something I never wished to see. But what did I expect to find when i thought Roy was acting weird? An out of date peice of candy?...wait I did find that but still! im so stupid how could I not realize it!I continued banginf me head against the wall harder and harder.
Ed and Al were in the library, Ed just about finished skimming through the book he reading through, it was always the same old thing. The Philosophers Stone, the forbidden art of alchemy. The art no one has ever successfully completed, and how deadly it is to human flesh, nothing Ed already knew, he closed the book and slumoed back in his chair.
"Al, its been over two years and we still have gotten no where. Yeah sure it helps to know at least a little bit about the stone, but that doesnt exactly help us to actually find it now does it?"
"Well brother, didn't we talk about a professer Marcoh in that down with Russel, Fletcher, and the Red Water?"
"Oh yeah, things have been so screwed up lately I completely forgot. We'll just have to pay him a visit sometime I guess, at least just as soon as we get out of this god forsaken place."
"Yeah...hey Ed shouldn't we go check on Sam, see if shes still ok?"
"I guess, I mean who wouldn't be ok after having a conversation with Roy Mustang."
Ed picked up the books he and Al were reading and set them back on the shelves, he picked up his red coat that lay on a nearby chair and exited the library with Al following behind him.
"Um, Ed?"
"What is it Al?"
"Do you even know where Sam is at the moment?"
"Eh heh heh heh well...um...no."
"Oh Brother..."
They turned into a wide hallway and continued to walk along it, not really paying attention. When they finally nearing the end on the hallway they heard a scream, Sam's scream comming from a door on their left.
"Well found her..."
Ed opened the door and burst into the room with Al behind him. They found Sam banging her head against the wall repeatedly either in some kind of shock or really pissed.
I still continued to bang my head agaisnt the wall, not even aware of Ed's presence who was actually giving me one of the funniest looks I have ever seen cross his face.
"OHGODIHATETHISWHOINTHEIRRIGHTMINDSCANBESOSTUPIDTODOTHISWELLIWILLTELLYOUWHOITSNATALIETHATSWHOANDYOUJUSTDONTEVEREXPECTNATALIETOBEWITHANASSHOLELIKEHIMWHOTHINKSHEKNOWSANYTHINGANDEVERYTHINGABOUTANYBODYANYWAYITSJUST...EWEWEWEWEWEWEWWWWWWWWW.!
I screamed pacing around the desk. Then i stormed over to the wall and resumed my position of banging my head against the wall.
Ed ran over and grabbed my shoulders to make me face him, but I continued to rant anyway.
"Ok Sam, one STOP THE MADNESS, two what the hell are you doing, and 3 What is the matter!"
I stopped ranting and fell silent all I did was give him a blank expression and blankly point to the photo on the desk. Ed let go of my shoulders and walked over to the desk and picked the picture up. When Ed saw that picture, I tell you his face was priceless. His eyes windened with a look of disgust on his face.
"What...what the hell is this!" asked Ed pointing at the picture.
Because on the photo was a picture of Natalie and Roy. Roy had his arm around Natalie's shoulder and it looked like he was trying to kiss Natalie on the cheek or something, but Natalie, being Natalie she shoved her hand out to protect her face to have any encounter with his lips, though Natalie did had a playful smile on her face, none that I have EVER seen before or wished to see, that look was..love.
"Well Ed what does it look like? I think you kind of get the idea from the photo!" I said finally regaining my composuer
"But...how..and...what..."Ed was just speechless
Then Al walked over and took the picture out of Ed's hand and with one breif look, he quickly set it back on the desk.
"Brother, I did not wish to see that.."
"None of us di--hey is that candy?" asked Ed as he walked over to the candy I carelessly tossed over my shoulder earlier.
"Um Ed...I wouldn't eat--"
Too late.
"...that."
Ed quickly spat out the candy.
"THAT THING TASTED LIKE IT WAS AT LEAST 10 TEARS OLD!"
"Because it WAS at least 10 years old."
"...oh...well you could have told me that!"
"I tried to tell you that"
"I give up..."
"I can never look at Roy Mustang the same way again...nor my sister for that matter. Not even the Humunculus Sin! This is...unbeliveable...lets just leave and go..."
"Im all for that lets get the hell out of here."
With that, me and Ed zoomed down the hallway leaving Al in the dust. We wanted to get out of there that bad
"Hey! Niisan! Sam!...aww" Al ran ahead trying to catch up with us.
(Outside Headquarters)
I sat on a bench gasping for breath with Ed sitting beside me.
"I...escaped...that hellhole...hooray, so...where to this time.."
"Well the closest thing we have on a lead is Doctor Marcoh, we found out about him in Xenotime, and we think he has a Philosophers or something like it."
"Ok...we will go to where ever he is."
I turned around to the sound of clanking metal, in other words Al.
"Well well well, look who finally caught up."
"That wasn't funny brother."
"It wasnt supposed to be," replied Ed with a smirk on his face.
"Ok ok enought chitter chatter lets get a move on, we dont exactly have all the time in the world."
I rose from the bench and started to walk down the road to the train station, that was one long walk away...Ed and Al had no choice but to follow me, I tried to do everything to get the damn image out of my mind, of my sister and -- ick I swear, new subject.
But my thoughts were interupted as I sensed movement comming towards me from an aerial point of view, I hopped back as darts were at my feet in a neat straight line.
"Aw, again with the darts...I looked up at the nearby tree and saw a figure with a blowdart gun.
"What the hell do you want!" I yelled at the figure.
Then another figure dropped down in front of me, sword drawn.
"Oh shit...I can't even leave headquarters with getting attacked though I feel its unfair because earlier you bastards brutally ingured me so since you did that, just know you are going to get your ass kicked. Then the dumbass with the blow dart dropped from the tree and landed on the ground, then I suppose the leader of the group dropped down and landed in between the two.
"It has been awhile Sam Greystone."
