Disclaimer: You know what, I should just quit doing these all together. There's no point to it. I mean, what are the chances that I own FMA? Because if I did, I wouldn't have to write fanfics. Just read the damn story.
Lust walked through the crowded streets of Central. She wore her usual clothes along with a long black coat with a hood pulled over her head. At her side, was Gluttony, the short, fat man who had become attached to her. Like a shadow that wouldn't go away in Lust's mind.
Lust, on the other hand, was every mans desire. She was perfect. The perfect body, and the perfect face. A face that had once belonged to somebody else. Lust hadn't told anybody but she'd been having flashbacks of her old life.
"About time you got here", a voice said.
Lust looked up to see Envy. If Lust hadn't known better she would've said that it was a woman talking and not a man.
"What do you want Envy?", Lust asked him.
"To pass on a message", the shapeshifter said, "Dante wants you to kill Fullmetal pipsqueak".
There was a hint of anger in his voice. Lust knew that Envy wanted to kill the Elrics himself. Very slowly, and very painfully. So it made since that he'd be mad that she got the job and he didn't.
"But without him we can't get the philosophers stone", Lust said.
"Well that's what Dante wants you to do", Envy said. "Of course, you could always let me do it".
"Shut up crossdresser, I'll do it", Lust said.
Lust walked away from Envy before he could say anything else. Elric would most likely be at military headquarters. But it puzzled Lust why Dante had asked her to kill Elric when she could just have Pride do it. So, Lust and Gluttony went to military headquarters.
Once there, they were stopped by a young soldier.
"Ma'am, you can't go in there", he said to her.
"I'm here to see the Fuhrer", Lust said in a seductive voice.
"Oh, oooh. Go right ahead, and have a great time", the soldier said has Lust and Gluttony walked by him.
"Lust, what are you doing here?", Sloth asked her when she made it to the Fuhrers office.
"I need to know where Edward Elric is", Lust answered.
"Mustang gave him two weeks off. Last I heard he was in Dublith visiting his teacher", Sloth said.
"Thanks", Lust said has she left the building.
Lust and Gluttony next went to the train station and got on the next train to Dublith. The ride was slow and boring. And the fact was made worse when the train had to stop halfway because of 'technical difficulties'. When the train finally made it to Dublith it was two hours late.
"About time", Lust muttered to herself.
Has they walked through the streets Lust caught a glimpse of blonde hair and a red jacket. But it vanished into the crowd. It didn't matter, Lust knew where to find him.
"Gluttony how would you like some meat for lunch?", Lust asked him.
Drool flowed from Gluttony's mouth has the thoughts of eating entered his dull mind. They made their way to the butcher shop where Izumi resided. Lust and Gluttony walked into the shop to be greeted by a big man.
"Welcome", Sig said. He then noticed the tattoo on Lust's chest and raised the butcher knife he had in his hand.
"I won't let you harm them", Sig said.
Lust sighed and turned to Gluttony, "Gluttony could you take care of him for me", she said.
Gluttony charged at Sig with his mouth wide open while Lust walked up the stairs.
"What's going on?", a woman's voice said. Izumi stopped when she saw Lust in the hallway.
"You've lost enough already", Lust said to her, "let me pass and I you won't lose your life".
"I'm not letting you anywhere near those kids", Izumi said.
"Fine then", Lust said extending her nails into claws. "I hope you don't like pain".
Lust charged at Izumi and slashed at her with her claws. Izumi sidestepped to the right and launched a spinning kick at Lust hitting her in the face. Lust responded by stabbing at Izumi. Izumi clapped her hands together and pressed one of them to the wall. Spikes grew out of the wall and impaled Lust.
"You think this will stop me?", Lust said smirking.
Lust slashed at all the spikes and charged at Izumi. At that moment, Ed and Al appeared in the hallway. She didn't want to have to take on all three of them at once, so she decided to just kill Ed and get out. Lust extended her fingernails at Ed and he turned his automail arm into a sword and cut off Lust's claw.
"Did the little girl break a nail?", Ed said sarcastically.
Suddenly a scream was heard from downstairs. "Sounds like Gluttony had his lunch", Lust thought to herself.
"It would seem that Gluttony just finished his lunch", Lust said.
Izumi's eyes widened when she realized what she meant.
"Ed, take her, I'm going downstairs", Izumi said running past Lust towards the stairs.
"Fine with me", Lust said has Izumi ran past her. "You're the one I'm here for".
Lust charged at Ed, her fingers extended into claws and slashed at him. If Ed hadn't moved he would be minus a head. Ed stabbed at Lust with his sword and she jumped and landed behind him. Al hit Lust in the back of the head has soon has she landed knocking her off balance. Ed took the opportunity and stabbed Lust through the heart.
"You think that's all it takes to kill me?", Lust said has Ed removed the blade from her chest.
Before Ed could answer Lust lunged at him. Al stepped in her way and punched her in the stomach. Lust ignored the blow and extended her claws at Ed. They all missed except for one which went through his shoulder. He screamed in pain has blood started to pour out of the wound and stain his clothes.

The scarred man walked through the crowded streets of Dublith. He was here for only one reason: kill the Fullmetal Alchemist. Normally a murderer like him wouldn't be out in the open like this. But the streets were so crowded that nobody would notice him. He made his way to the butcher shop where he had been told the alchemist was staying. What he saw upon entering the shop was very, well, bloody to say the least.
Pieces of meat were strewn all across the floor and there was blood everywhere. "What the hell happened here?", Scar thought to himself looking around. And then he heard noises. He walked into another room and saw a big guy who looked like he had had his arm removed. In his remaining hand he held a butcher knife. He was fending off a short, bald, and impossibly fat man with blood, and drool running from his mouth. "Good God", Scar thought when he saw it and realized what must've happened.
Scar thought were interrupted by the sound of footsteps. A stern faced woman with long dreadlocks came down the stairs. Has soon has she saw what was going on she clapped her hands together and put them on the floor. A long spike shot out from the floor impaling the fat man. "An alchemist", Scar thought to himself. The woman's attention then came to Scar and she immediately recognized him.
"You're here for Ed aren't you?", she said to him.
"I have no desire to kill you woman", Scar said to her, "your husband needs a hospital, help him".
"I won't let you near him", the woman said.
At that exact moment Ed stumbled down the stairs, clutching his injured shoulder.
"Teacher we have to get out of here", he said.
And then he noticed Scar. And their eyes locked.
"You know you're the second person today to barge in here wanting to kill me", Ed said to him.
"And I'll be the last", Scar replied.
"Yes you will. And you won't succeed", Izumi said to him.
Izumi ran at Scar and attacked him. Scar grabbed her wrist and twisted.
"I have no intention of fighting you, I just want him", he said motioning to Ed.
With Izumi's free hand she punched Scar in the face catching him off guard. At that moment Lust came flying down the stairs and with a loud thump landed on the bottom of the stairs. Al could be seen at the standing at the top of the stairs. Lust quickly got up and looked up at Al.
"Nice throw", she said sarcastically.
Scar stopped what he was doing. Scar knew that voice. "It can't be", he thought to himself. Scar was snapped back to reality when he saw Izumi coming at him. Before he could do anything she hit him with a spinning kick. Scar retaliated by backhanding her across the face. Then he punched her in the stomach before she could do anything. Scar was about to go further but he stopped. Izumi had a look on her face has if she was about to throw up. Blood flew out of her mouth and she fell to her knees.
"Teacher!", Ed yelled running to her side.
"I would be more concerned with my own life if I were you", Scar said to him.
"I see I'm not the only one who wants you dead, Fullmetal", Lust said from behind him.
For the first time, Scar looked at her face. His expression immediately to a mixture of shock and fear. He took a few steps back and almost stumbled.
"No! You can't be her. She's dead", Scar said.
"I don't know who you're talking about", Lust said, "but—".
Before Lust could finish what she was about to say Scar pulled out a locket that had been around his neck and Lust froze. Suddenly she felt weak, and she couldn't move. Her legs collapsed from under her and she fell to the floor. Gluttony, who had by now removed the spike from himself, ran to her side and somehow managed to scoop her into his arms.

When Lust woke up she was in a room. It was a run down apartment somewhere. Lust looked around the room. The room smelled heavily of cigarette smoke.
"You're awake", a familiar voice said to her. Lust turned to where the voice had come from and saw an old friend.
"Marcus!", Lust exclaimed.
He had changed since she had first met him. He was no longer the young street smart kid she had met two years ago. Now, he was eighteen and living on his own. They had kept in touch over the years and this was the first time she'd seen him in months.
"Heard you had a little accident", he said sitting down in a chair with a cigarette in his hand. "Gluttony brought you here last night", he said, "said you saw a locket and fainted".
"You could say that", Lust said sitting up in the bed.
"So you have to kill Fullmetal? Don't see the sense in that, considering he's the only lead you got to the philosophers stone", he said putting out his cigarette.
Lust stood up and looked around. "Where's Gluttony?", Lust asked.
"Where do you think?", Marcus replied chuckling.
Same old Marcus. Even though he hadn't physically aged, he had mentally. In a way, his time with the homunculus had helped him. Matured him into who he was today. (A/N: If you want to know who Marcus is, read my other story the Eight Homnculus). Lust stood up and walked towards the door.
"Don't I even get a thank you?", Marcus said has she walked out the door.
Lust turned around and gave him a half smile. "Remember Marcus, you still owe me a favor", she said to him.
"If you're looking for Elric he ain't in the city no more", Marcus said to her has she left the room, "if I was him I'd go someplace I'd feel safe".
Lust had learned a long time ago that the place where Marcus felt safe was in Central at the house that had been his fathers. "He probably went to Rizembol", Lust thought to herself has she walked through the streets. Her thoughts went back to the scarred man. Dante had once said to her that a homunculus became weakened when it got close to a remnant of its former self. "Is that what happened to me?", Lust thought. There had been something about him that was familiar to her, she just didn't know what.

It couldn't have been her, it just couldn't. She had died years ago of a virus. He had loved her. Him and his brother. His thoughts went to the strange tattoo that had been on her chest. He had seen it somewhere before, he just couldn't remember where. And then it hit him. He'd seen the tattoo on the cover of a book when he'd broken into the State library. He hadn't read the book though, he hadn't had the time. He looked at the picture of the woman he had once loved.
"Selena", he said in a soft voice, "I love you Selena. Wherever you are, I hope you are happy".
