Lust sat on the bench next to Scar. They were in the park, and they had decided to just relax. Lust was resting her head on his shoulder and he had his arm around her. Lust didn't know why but whenever she was in his arms she felt safe. "I guess it's just another emotion", Lust thought to herself. The emotions she felt when she was around Scar kept coming at random times, but Lust cherished it when they did come.
"We could always just go back to Ishbal", Scar said casually. He hadn't told her yet that her mother was dying.
"I know, but I just feel like there's something I have to do first", Lust replied.
Scar tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and kissed her lightly. Lust smiled and looked at him.
"What do you want do?", she asked him.
"Whatever makes you happy", Scar said to her.
Over Scar's shoulder Lust could see a figure. It was someone that Lust would recognize anywhere. "Envy", Lust thought to herself, "what are you doing here?". Lust stood up.
"I'll be right back", she said to him.
Lust walked over to where Envy was standing. He had his characteristic smirk on his face, and Lust knew he was about to tell her something important.
"Having fun with your boyfriend?", Envy asked her.
"Envy, you know I don't have a boyfriend", Lust said in her usual cold voice.
"I'm sure Scar would say otherwise, but that's not why I'm here. Dante wants to see you, ASAP", Envy said.
"He knows", Lust thought to herself, "he knows about Scar".
"Fine, I'll do it", Lust said to him.
"Good. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a blonde midget to kill", Envy said walking away.
Once Envy was gone Lust hurriedly walked back to Scar. Scar knew something was wrong by the way she walked, and the expression on her face.
"What's wrong?", he asked standing up.
"We have to go to Dublith. There's something I have to do", Lust said to him.
"What do you mean?", Scar asked her.
"I just need to do this", Lust said walking in the direction of the train station.
Scar didn't say anything but followed her to the train station. Once at the train station the two snuck aboard the last car and hid. Scar had a bad feeling about this. "Something's not right here", he thought to himself. Scar laid down on a blanket he had found. Lust laid next to him curled up against him, asleep. Scar looked at the beauty asleep in his arms. He pulled her closer to him. "I lost you once, I won't lose you again".
--- --- ---
Once at Dublith Lust took Scar's hand and led him into an alley.
"Listen, I'm going to go somewhere, and you can't follow me. Just wait here and I'll be back, I promise", Lust said to him.
"Lust, you can tell me anything", Scar said to her putting his hands on her waist.
Lust smiled and kissed him, long and passionately. When they pulled apart Lust pecked him lightly on the lips.
"I'll be right back", she said to him.
Lust walked into the crowd of people, and out of Scars sight. "You should go after her", a voice in his head said to him. "No. I told her I'd stay here, and that's what I'm going to do". Even has he told himself this he found himself making his way through the crowded streets keeping an eye on Lust. "Where is she going?", Scar thought to himself. Lust left the city and was walking through the woods. Scar followed her at a safe distance. It was getting dark now, and the only thing keeping Scar from loosing track of Lust was her pale skin reflecting in the moonlight. Finally, Lust came to a mansion, and went in.
"What's a mansion doing out here?", Scar said aloud.
--- --- ---
"Lust, there's so much I'd like to talk to you about. I just don't know where to start", Dante said to her.
Lust didn't say anything. She knew that Dante knew about her and Scar's relationship. That was the only reason that Lust could think of that Dante would want her here: To punish her.
"What's this about?", Lust asked her.
"Do you remember your past life?", Dante asked her.
"I don't have memories", Lust lied.
"Oh but you do. Every homunculus has flashbacks of their former life. Though they don't admit it", Dante said. "I think our Ishbalan friend played an important part in your past. A lover perhaps?".
"I'm a homunculus, I don't have feelings", Lust said to her.
Dante smiled and picked up a box that had been sitting on a table. Dante set the box in her lap and looked at Lust.
"Lust, Lust, Lust. You always were sort of a rebellious one", Dante said opening the box.
Suddenly Lust felt very weak. And then Dante lifted a skull out of the box, and Lust couldn't move.
"You didn't really think that I'd keep a homunculus around and not have some way of making sure they didn't try and kill me?", Dante said to me. "I just had Envy dig up your grave".
Lust wanted to say something back but couldn't. She didn't have the ability to. Dante approached Lust and knelt down next to her.
"You know Lust, this wouldn't of happened if you had just obeyed me. And know I have to dispose of you", Dante stood up. "But later".
Dante left the skull on the floor in front of Lust and left the library. Shortly after Dante left Wrath entered the room. A sadistic smile on the young boys face gave away his intentions far too well, and Lust couldn't help but feel a twinge of fear.

Scar had gotten in through an open window he had found. Scar had decided that he never wanted to live in a place this big. "I think I've passed this same spot five times already", Scar thought to himself. Suddenly he heard footsteps and ducked behind a corner.
"It's a shame. Lust was actually kind of useful. But I can always create another one", a woman's voice said.
The sound of a door opening and closing could be heard and Scar waited a minute or so before determining that the coast was clear. "That didn't sound good", Scar thought to himself. He had to find Lust now, from what that woman had said Lust's usefulness had come to an end. Scar ran has fast has he could without making any noise through the halls. Suddenly he heard a scream followed by maniacal laughter. Scar ran in the direction of the noise and came to a door. Scar kicked the door open and stepped into a huge library.
"Damn it", Scar said to himself has he looked around at all the shelves.
He heard another scream and ran towards it. Lust was lying on the floor, with bruises all over her face that weren't healing. "Why isn't she healing?", Scar thought to himself. He saw a kid, standing over her, smiling sadistically at her.
"Are you having fun yet?", he asked her, "because I'm having a great time".
Before the boy could lay another hand on her Scar lunged at him, tackling him to the floor. Scar put his hand over the boys place, exploding his brain.
Scar stood up and kicked the skull away from Lust and she stood up has her wounds started to heal.
"Scar", Lust said throwing her arms around him. "I thought I told you not to follow me".
"But I guess It's a good thing that I did", Scar said to her.
Lust looked at Wrath's unconscious form. "Let's get out of here before he wakes up".
They ran through the house. Lust guiding Scar to the exit.
"Sloth, Gluttony, and Dante should be the only others left in the house", Lust said has they ran.
"Hopefully we won't run into any of them", Scar muttered but loud enough for Lust to hear.
"It's a big house. They might not even know that I've escaped".
"I wouldn't say that", a voice said from behind them.
The two stopped and turned around to see Dante, with Gluttony at her side. Her arms were crossed and she looked at Scar.
"So you're the one Lust's been seeing. I was hoping you wouldn't have to be here for this, now I have to kill you both", Dante said to him.
Lust extended her claws, "you can try".
"I don't understand how you've let yourself become attached to her. You do know that she has no feelings?", Dante continued.
"I know, and I don't care", Scar growled at her.
"You can't actually love her. She's a soulless doll, no feelings, no emotions. She can't and doesn't return any feelings you have towards her", Dante continued.
Lust extended her claws further. She didn't know how much more of this she could take before she attacked Dante.
"Lust, leave. I'll take care of this", Scar said interrupting Lust's thoughts.
"Scar you can't—",
"Just go", Scar said to her, "I'll catch up with you later".
Reluctantly, Lust obeyed. Gluttony started to waddle after her but Dante stopped him.
"No, Gluttony. I want you to take care of him", Dante said pointing at Scar.
"But Lust", Gluttony started.
"NOW Gluttony", Dante demanded.
Gluttony turned back to Scar, and charged at him.
