Chapter 6: Punishment and Affection

The walk back to the palace was a silent one. Edward was too embarrassed to talk, Roy just didn't want to ask questions and Envy was just waiting for the right moment to annoy the hell out of one of the two. His victim of choice, Roy. Envy wanted a little revenge for the last time he and the captain had met. Now would be the perfect time.

"So, Roy, I've heard that you created those familiars."

"Yeah. It took me a while, but they came out better then I expected."

"Too bad there so weak."

Roy stopped dead in his tracks.

"What did you say?"

"You heard me. Those flee bitten mutts don't stand a chance against me."

"You wanna prove that."

Roy turned around and snapped his fingers. Four black familiars appeared, bigger then the ones from last time. Envy smirked.

"So you can changer there size?"

"Well, these are different then the last. The first ones you encountered where manly for finding and immobilizing its pray. These are more for combat and have poison in bother there claws and teeth. There also a third, I only use it in extreme circumstances."

"Like I care about you're little doggies, there all there same to me."

Roy growled. He then gave his orders to the familiars.

"Alright, kill the bastard for all I care, I just wanna see some blood."

"Yes sir."

With that they charger forward. Envy's smirked widened. Flicking his wrist, three daggers appeared. He noticed that these familiars were much faster then the others, but Envy was faster. Envy only threw two of the daggers, both of them missed.

"Ha! We've only started and you've already missed!"

Envy let out a small chuckle, causing Roy to raise a brow. The sin flicked his wrist, pulling on a extremely thin wire. Both of his daggers shout up into the air.

"Replication no Justus!"

His daggers multiplied about a hundred times over. Envy pulled on the sting once more, sending all the daggers flying towards the familiars. Each one of them was hit several times. Disappearing onto a cloud of black smoke, Roy stared for a moment, shocked and in utter dismay. His mighty familiars were defeated with just one hit. How was this possible?

"B-but how?"

"You're perfect little puppies had a huge blind spot. You said that they where for combat right? Well, they could only see what was in front and what was beside them, leaving there rear and above them wide open for and aerial attack."

"And you found all of this out how?"

"Easy, since most predators have there eye set in front of there skull, they don't have a good sense of what's behinds him. They why they travel in packs. Unlike your wolves, the real things travel together in formation, making sure there are no blind spots. You told your familiars to go for a head on attack with no formation or any thought what so ever. That is why you lost."

Edward's eyes widened. He had know idea that Envy held that much knowledge. He couldn't help but let out a chuckle. Envy look notice of that.

"You should be taking notes Chibi-chan. Since you seen to be the worst fighter I've ever seen."

"You wanna repeat that?"

"Sure, you suck."

Edward to in a deep breath and let it out slowly. He really didn't want to get into a fight with Envy at this moment. He had other things to do, like get back to the palace and listen to whatever his father had to say.

"Prince, I think we should be heading back."

"No shit."

Edward walked into Hohenheim study with Envy right behind him. Hohenheim was once again busy working on another book. Once he caught wind of Edward's presence, he looked up and sighed.

"Where were you?"

"None of you're god damn business." he mumbled.

"What was that?"

"Nothing. Look just get your little lecture over with so I can go back to my room."

Hohenheim adjusted his glasses and stood up.

"Edward, would you mind standing in the middle of the floor?"

"…why?"

Hohenheim didn't say anything. Edward let out a very annoyed sigh and did what he was told. Envy just leaded on the wall and watched. As Envy's eyes followed the blonde he noticed the strange markings on the ground.

'This isn't going to be good.'

Edward got the center of the room and stopped.

"Are you happy now?"

Hohenheim clapped his hands together and placed them on the symbol drawn on the floor. A light emitted from it and engulfed Edward. A shrike echoed throughout the room. Envy was in complete shock. How could his own father do this to him? He had to do something.

"Stop! He's had enough!"

Hohenheim raised his hands slightly and then slammed them down symbol. Edward's screams grew louder. Envy had no choice but to attack. He flicked his wrist making a dagger appear. Envy threw the blade and it nicked the side of Hohenheim cheek. He looked up to see Envy pointing another dagger in his direction.

"Let him go."

Hohenheim slowly slid his hand off of the symbol, releasing Edward. Envy rushed over and picked the blonde up. Edward's breathing was shallow and he had broken into a drenching sweat. Envy growled and then proceeded to the door.

"Tell him…"

Envy stopped and looked over his shoulder.

"Tell him, that I'm sorry. But, I had to be done."

Envy didn't say anything he just opened the door and walked out, slaming it behind him.

When Edward finally woke up, his entire body stung. He decided not to move around to much. As he sunk back down into the mattrase, he noticed that there was something holding onto his right hand. Looking down he found Envy asleep with his hand on top of his. Edward fround this strange, but then again he found everything Envy did strange. The sin stired abit, then opend his eyes slightly.

"You're finally awake."

"How long was I out?"

"Most of the day."

Edward looked out the window and saw that it was completely dark out. He shot up, proving to be a stupid move. A intance pain shot threw out his entier body.

"What the hell did he do to you?"

"I-I don't k-know. This was t-the first time h-he tried this."

Edward gripped his sides in an attempt to ease the pain. He then felt the weight of the bed change and two well toned arms wrapped around him.

"W-what are you-"

"Relax you're body."

Edward stared at Envy for a moment then leaned against him.

'Why…why does he feel so soothing. Why is he so different fro everyone else? The way he makes me feel it's…I'm not sure what to say.'

With eyes half open, Edward tilled his head up and softly pressed his lips against the sins. Envy was taken aback by this action at first but he soon kissed him back. 'Edward.'
