Chapter 8: Sins of My Past

Envy watched the sleeping figurer under the cherry blossom tree. He had been watching him for most of the afternoon. It was strange how he could look so peaceful resting there. With his lip slightly parted and his blonde bangs overshadowing his face. He was an assassin who hated violence, but when it came down to, he would kill his target without fail. He was skilled at what he did, but hated all the same. That made Envy wounded why he was even part of this little group they were members of. Envy would sometimes hear him crying in his room at nigh after a mission. There was nothing he could do to cleanse the blood that had permanently stained his hands. He was a killer and he couldn't change that fact no matter what he did. Envy knew that all too well. Envy sighed to himself. Why the hell should he care about that little pipsqueak? He was somewhat naïve. He didn't really know that much about the world around him. Envy also found that strange. Envy though of him as too kind hearted to be an assassin.

'You make absolutely no sense to me Pride.'

As hesearched threw his thoughts, the figure sitting under the tree began to stir. He cracked open his eyes, showing off his emotionless golden orbs. They were mesmerizing in a way. Once gold met amethyst, Pride instantly looked away. That was another thing Envy didn't get about him. Pride was shy around just about everyone he knew. But mostly around him.

"W-was I asleep long?"

"Most of the afternoon. But I'm just here to tell you that as have another mission coming up soon."

"W-who the target?"

"That Queen Dante."

"I-Isn't the palace heavily guarded?"

"That's why it might take us a while to come up with a plan. But, were still going to have a few side missions."

"O-oh, alright."

Envy sighed once more. He got up and began to walk back to there hideout.

"N-Nii-san wait!"

'Nii-san?'

Pride quickly got up and rushed over to Envy. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a white flower. Envy eyed it for a moment then looked back at Pride, who was currently looking towards the ground with a heavy blush on his face.

"I-I p-p-picked it for you."

"Chibi-chan, why the hell are you spending you're time picking flower for me?"

"I-I-I j-just."

Envy could see that Pride was starting to get choked-up. So, he placed his hand on top of the blonde's head and rubbed it back and forth. Pride blushed harder.

"It's pretty, thank you."

Pride wrapped his arms around Envy's waist.

"Pride."

The blonde held onto him tighter. Pride was lonely. Everyone in his organization didn't care the lest bit about him. But Envy was different. He knew that after every mission, Envy would stand near his door, pondering weather to enter or not. He never did though, but just knowing he was there was comforting.

"N-Nii-san p-please don't-"

"Shit!"

Pride then found himself being jerked and slammed against a tree, while Envy was already in his attack stance. Envy jumped out of the way as another exploding kunai was sent his way.

"Dammit Greed! What the hell was that?"

Greed gave off a toothy smirk.

"Oh I was just practicing my aim."

"Bastard."

Envy looked over to see that he had been hit on his right arm. It wasn't too bad, just a little cut. But it was enough get Pride attention. He rushed over and took Envy by the hand. He then began to lead him back to there hideout. Greed just watched them and his smirked widened.

'Have you're little fun with Envy now Pride, 'cause soon he'll be the one who'll kill you.'


Envy sat in Pride room waiting for him to return. Once he had, Envy noticed the bandages and bottle of rubbing alcohol in his hands. Pride walked over and sat next to the sin.

"Let me see."

"It's just a scratch, it'll be fine."

Pride opened the bottle and poured a little alcohol on Envy's wound. The sin cringed as the stinging sensation took over his arm. Pride then unraveled the bandages and wrapped them around Envy's arm.

"That should do it."

"You didn't have to do that."

"Y-yeah, but you were hurt."

Pride looked down with a heavy blush on his face.

"Pride, look at me."

Pride's blush deepened. Envy placed his index finger and thumb at Pride's chin and tilted it up.

"What made you come here in the first place? You're too kind."

"I-I can't tell you, not now."

Envy brought his lip closer to the blonde's.

"You know so little, but yet you know so much."

Envy pressed his lips against Pride's. He then pushed him against the mattress and began to remove the blonde's tight shirt.

"You love me don't you? I see the way you look at me, the way you cling to me. You're very much attracted to me."

Pride could feel his entire face light up. It was true. He had tied to hide it, but found it difficult.

"N-Nii-san, I know it's wrong for me to feel this way-"

"There's nothing wrong with love you poor naïve little chibi."


Pride lay next to a sleeping Envy, both of them completely naked. Envy's arm was wrapped around the blonde's waist, while Pride's head rested on Envy's firm chest. The blonde had never felt like he had just an hour ago. He had never been so close to anyone like this before. He wasn't sure how to explain it.

"You're still awake."

Pride looked over to see Envy staring down at him.

"I-I'm sorry if I woke you up Nii-san."

"It's not you're fault."

Envy sat up and stretched. A knock at the cut him off short.

"Pride, it's me Sloth. We've found a way to infiltrate the palace. We'll be leaving tonight. It might be our last mission though."

"A-alright."

With that she left.


Everyone gathered in the meeting room and awaited there orders. Being the leader of the syndicate, Wrath, the oldest of the seven, cleared his throat.

"Alright people. There's a small water way to the entrance of the palace. Lust, Gluttony, Sloth and I will act as diversions to distract the guards to the front of the palace. Envy, Pride and…where's Greed?"

"Just continue Wrath."

"Envy and Pride will infiltrate the water way, you two should end up in the dungeon. From there split up and make your way to the throne room. This could very well be our very last mission. I know some of you won't make it till morning. I just want you all to know, if we accomplish our goal, the Netherworld will no longer have to suffer. Now Let's move out!"


The plan had gone threw perfectly as planned. Now Envy and Pride had made it into the palace. Once they had emerged from there crawl space, Envy looked around and helped Pride out of the hole.

"Well, this is where we split up."

"N-Nii-san be careful."

Envy leaded down and kissed Pride.

"We'll see each other again."

With that, they took off in different directions. Pride found that there were a few more guards to take care of. So he summoned his scythe and only wounded them. As he continued down the long hall, he could senses that something wasn't right, but he still continued.

"Hay Pride."

He stopped and turned around to see Greed with his usual cocky smirk.

"G-Greed? How did you get in here?"

"I used the front door."

"B-But how? There are guards everywhere."

"You just don't get it."

He suddenly pinned the blonde against the wall.

"W-What are you doing? Stop!"

"You see, you're going to help me get what I want, even if you refuse."

"W-Wha-"

Pride felt a surging pain come form his stomach. He looked up and Greed with a confused look. Greed merely smirked. The blonde fell to his knees and blacked out.

"That was all too easy."

"But the question is, will your other companion fall for the little trick." Came a female's voice.

"Oh he will."

"I'll make sure he falls for it too."


Meanwhile Envy had made it to the throne room. He didn't see any sigh of Pride anywhere as well as the Queen. He didn't worry too much, seeing that Pride could take care of himself and he was very determined to see his love again.

"What the hell took you so long?"

"Greed."

He turned around to see that he was holding someone. A woman that was bonded and gagged. Could Greed have captured the Queen?

"You look surprised Envy."

"How did you-"

"There's no time for that. Here, I'll give you the honor of killing her."

Yes. This is what Envy had comethere for. If he killed her then everything would be a peace once more. There would no need for Pride and him to kill anymore. He flicked his wrist and summoned a dagger. He was going to slit the bitch's throat. As he approached the Queen, Greed dropped her on the floor. Envy kneeled down and grabbed a fistful of her brownish hair.

"You caused me and Pride a lot of trouble you know that. Once I've killed you, I'll burn this hell hole to the ground."

He placed the dagger at her throat. As he was about to slice it across her neck, he noticed that a tear ran down her cheek. It was at that moment Envy realized three very important things. One was that Being the Queen, she was a very powerful dictator and would haveno need cry in front of her enemies, even in the last hours of her life. Second was that Greed was very good with Mimic no Justus, meaning he could give the illusion of being someone else. But he could also use it on other people. And last thing was the most important. Pride still hadn't arrived. He cut the rope around her mouth and arms.

"Pride, is it you?"

"N-Nii-san."

Envy placed both of his index fingers and thumbs together.

"Reverse."

With that Pride was engulfed in a black smoke. Once it lifted Pride was back to his normal self. Envy turned back to Greed, rage and fury filled his eyes.

"I kill you. I KILL YOU!"

Envy lugged towards Greed with all the force he had. Greed easily dodged the attack and countered Envy's attack with a kick to the head, causing the sin to come crashing to the ground.

"Awww, is Envy upset?"

"Shut up!"

Envy did a back flip and kicked Greed square in the jaw. As there battle ragged on, Envy had taken his eyes off of Pride, who was still trying to recover from his abduction. Pride was still in so much shock that he hadn't noticed the woman that had come up behind him.

"Hello there Pride."

The blonde turned his head and was captured once again.

"Nii-san!"

Envy turned around to see Pride with his hand behind his back and a sword at knife at his back.

"Envy I would like you to meet Dante."

"Why…why the hell are you doing this?"

"Because, like my name states I'm greedy. Dante here has promised to give anything I wanted if I helped kill the remaining assassins."

"So you sold out your own companions for that? Bastard!"

Envy charged forward. He stopped dead in his tracks as he heard a blood curtailing scream come from Pride. Envy slowly turned around to see Pride crouching on the ground, bleeding to death.

"Well, that takes care of that distraction."

Greed attacked Envy and badly wounded him. The sin was weak and could barely stand. He had to act fast if he wanted to save Pride. So, in his weakened state, he summoned a dagger and threw it at Greed, he dodged it.

"What was that? Looks like Envy's out of options. I've been waiting for this moment. You've always had a cocky mouth and now I'm going to shut you up for good. Any last words before I kill you?"

"…Replication no Justus."

"What?"

The dagger that missed Greed multiplied over and over again. Envy flicked his wrist, pulling one a almost unseen weir, sending the daggers flying towards Greed. Greed couldn't think fast enough and was hit with every last one of them. His bloody body fell to the ground. Envy fell to his knees. His attack hadn't killed Greed, itonly wounded him. But he didn't care, just as long as hecouldn't hurt Pride anymore.Crawling over to Pride's body he wrapped his arms around and brought him close.

"N-Nii-san, y-you asked m-me why I j-joined the organization. I-I j-joined because o-of you."

Envy held on to him tighter.

"Y-you just l-looked u-unhappy when we first met. I-I knew then t-that I hade to make y-you happy."

"Pride please don't go. This is my fault. I let my anger cloud my judgment."

"N-Nii-san…it's…it's not…"

Envy then felt Pride go limp. Envy didn't want to let go of Pride, but he knew he had to.

"We'll wasn't that touching. But I think that's quit enough for today."

Dante snapped her fingers and two evil spirits appeared.

"Since I won't give the little sin the pleasure of dieing along with his comrade, I'll entomb him and that lousy excuse for a servant. So you two know what to do. Make sure that you entomb them on separate sides of the Netherworld. Now go you two."

"Yes my lady."

The two evil spirits attached themselves to the Envy and Greed then disappeared.


Once Envy was awake he found that he was in a dark place. He could hear chanting and then out of the darkness came chains that rapped themselves around him. They hoisted him up against a wall upside-down. The next thing he saw as a kitsune mask that was placed on his face. It was making him very drowsy.

"You will be awaked only by theoneyou loved the most."

And that was the last thing he heard before he completely fell asleep.


Envy shot up in a cold sweat. He looked around to find that he was in Edward's room.

"What the hell happened to you?"

"W-What are you talking about?"

"You've been out for an entire week!"

Envy whipped away the sweat from his forehead. He had remembered everything. It all made sense. Why he felt attracted to Edward and why Edward was able to releases him. The blonde was the reincarnation of Pride.
