Sorry about it taking me so long to update again, but I currently seem to have an interest in Full Metal Alchemist and I can't stop writing drabbles about Roy and Riza! I think I might post one of them up later tonight. I don't know. Anyway, on with the story!

Scheris later woke in the infirmary. She laid down in the bed, a headache starting to take over her. She looked around but saw no one there. Where was Ryuhou? Did he leave her already? Just like that? So many thoughts rushed into her head which made her headache even worse. She began to sit up when she felt two handsplace themselveson her shoulders to hold her down.
"Don't try to sit up. You need your rest. You used too much power back there. We were all really worried about you."
"Ryuhou, is that you?"
Ryuhou smiled. "Yes, it's me, Scheris. How do you feel?"
"My head hurts," Scheris replied.
Ryuhou began to massage her temples. She closed her eyes and was tempted to drift off to sleep again, but a voice was heard outside the door. "Ryuhou? Scheris?"
Scheris opened her eyes and looked up at her commander. Sigmar just smiled, obviously glad that she was safe.
"What is it commander," Ryuhou asked.
Sigmar stepped closer to them both and rested his hand on Ryuhou's shoulder. "He's dead, Ryuhou. A unit that I stationed out there for backup found him just a few minutes ago and reported it in."
Scheris's eyes opened wide. "He's gone? He is really gone?"
The commander nodded his head then turned to leave. "Ryuhou, tell her. She deserves to know."
"Sir?"
"I think you know what I am talking about."
Ryuhou blushed the slightest shade of pink and smiled. Sigmar walked out the door and left them alone.
Scheris looked confused. "What do you want to tell me, Ryuhou?"
"Do you remember anything at all from yesterday?" Ryuhou looked down and stared at his hands. He was always so calm and collected, but all of a sudden he felt weak. He knew he loved Mimori, but it never felt like this before when he screamed her name when Kazuma used her as a hostage. He was worried about her, sure, but for some reason Scheris was more important to him. She was like him. She was an altar user and understood him. He had saved her life twice now. He had known Scheris for a very long time, and he knew he had these feelings, but they were never this strong before. He could not help but to keep telling himself that.
Ryuhou gazed back up at Scheris who did not understand what hewas possibly thinking about. This was a part of him that even she had not seen. "Ryuhou? Tell me, please?"
"Scheris, I don't know if you feel the same way about me, but I know I feel this way about you, and I can not deny those feelings. I will not deny those feelings. No matter what, I will stay with you."
Scheris had a true smile on her face. She started laughing. "Are you trying to say that you love me?"
Ryuhou looked at her funny.
"I was kidding. I did hear you back there. Did you really mean it? Do you really love me?"
Ryuhou nodded his head. "Yes, yes I do."
The End

I know short chapter. That is the end. I hope you all enjoyed it, and I will have another story coming out either tonight or tomorrow based on Full Metal Alchemist if you want to read it. It's called "That Night". Don't forget to R&R!
