Chapter Thirteen
The MP's all drew their pistols on them.
"Put your hands up and drop any weapons!", one of them yelled.
Lust extended five of her claws impaling the MP's and leaving three standing. The three that were left all started shooting at them. The bullets that didn't hit Lust missed Scar who by now had placed his destroyer hand on the cars hood exploding it and taking the MP's with it.
"Come on, we have to get out of here", Scar said grabbing Lusts hand and running into an alleyway.
They could hear the sound of the cars approaching the burning car. And they were glad that they were away from the scene of the crime.
"What do we do know?", Lust asked. "We can't go anywhere and I'm sure Pride's got the military constantly looking for us".
"We can always go back home", Scar said looking down at the woman in his arms.
"No we can't. If we go back there then the military we'll eventually find us and most likely kill everybody. I couldn't bear it if something happened to Natasha or—", Scar cut her off.
"I understand", Scar said to her tilting her chin upwards. "Don't be so sad, you look so beautiful when you smile".
Scar kissed her. The kiss was short but sweet but it made Lust smile. It made her smile because she knew she had someone who cared for her even if she wasn't human. She didn't want to do what she did with Lujon and just kill him after she used him. No, she was a different person now.
"We should get out of the city if we don't want to get caught", she said to him.
"Yeah, you're right", Scar answered.
Scar had picked up a black leather jacket that went down to below his knees and a hat to go with it. Since they couldn't use the trains anymore they had to travel on foot, and they had no clear destination anymore. They spent the entire night traveling, not stopping for anything. When it was dawn the two found an old log cabin and spent the night there.
For the first time in a long time Lust didn't sleep peacefully. She was worried. The entire country was looking for them, and she might lose Scar. "I couldn't bear it if anything happened to him. I'd have no reason to live", Lust thought to herself. She curled up against Scar and he unconsciously wrapped his arms around her. Scar smiled at him. Something about this man had changed her. She was no longer a ruthless, cold hearted killer. She found that she cared deeply for certain people. "Scar, Helen, Natasha…if I have no soul then why do I care for these people?", she thought to herself.
They didn't wake up until the sun had just begun to set into the horizon. And then they set off on their journey again.
"Do you have any idea where we are?", Lust asked when they stopped by a stream.
"Nope", Scar said.
Lust had taken her boots off and put her feet in the streams cool water and was leaning against a tree. Scar sat next to her with his arm around her waist.
"Wanna go for a swim?", Scar said to her.
"What, you mean now?", Lust said turning to look at him.
"Yes I mean now", Scar said sliding his hand under her dress. "I don't know about you, but a nice swim sounds good right now".
Scar took his shirt off along with his pants, shoes, and socks, and jumped into the water. After resurfacing Scar turned to face Lust.
"Aren't you coming? The waters great!", he called.
Lust smiled and started to undress. Once she was completely naked she walked into the stream and swam out to meet Scar. Scar put his hands on her hips and pulled her to him.
"You're beautiful", he said to her.
"And you're stating the obvious", Lust replied kissing him lightly.
Lust buried her face in Scar's chest, she wanted him to hold her, and she wanted to be able to return his love for her. "If I can't feel, then why do I feel pleasure whenever we make love?", Lust thought to herself. "It doesn't matter, has long as I'm with him I'm happy".

To say that Dante was in a foul mood would be an understatement. To say that Dante was angry beyond all possible comprehension would be much more accurate. "Thanks to Lust and her boyfriend I'm stuck with this", she thought staring at her new automail. She'd had to have Pride bring in an automail mechanic to have it fitted. Has much as Dante hated it, it would have to do until she transferred her soul into another body.
"I have the entire military looking for them, we'll find them soon", Pride said to her.
"Good, thank you Pride", Dante said to him.
Dante wanted to punish Lust severely for what she'd done. She still had her skull after all, and Lust wouldn't be able to get any red stones anytime soon. Greed had been the same way, and look where he had wound up. "And Lust will wind up the same".
--- --- ---
It had been a week since their encounter with Dante and the military always seemed to know where they were. They had had frequent encounters with the military and Scar hated them more than ever now. First, they destroyed his homeland, if they had never done that then he would've never have to start killing state alchemist and he would've never had everyone in the military after him. "But then, if that had never happened I would've never me Lust", Scar thought to himself looking to the beauty he held in his arms. Scar tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and thought about what life would be like if Selena hadn't died. Scar sighed, even if she had loved him she would never leave her husband.
"What's wrong?", Lust asked him.
"Nothing, I was just thinking", Scar replied.
"About what?", Lust asked.
Scar looked at her and smiled. "I guess it was a good thing that Selena died. Otherwise I would've never met you".
"For that, you get a kiss", Lust said bringing her lips closer to his.
The kiss was intended to be short but Scar wouldn't have that. He shifted their position so that Scar was on top of her. They didn't pull apart until Scar broke the kiss for a breath of air. Scar rolled off of her and stared up at the night sky. The stars were beautiful, "like Lust", he thought to himself.
"Scar, look over there", Lust said pointing.
Scar looked in the direction and saw lights. House lights.
"I think I know where we are now", Lust said standing up, "we're in Rizembol, the place where Fullmetal lives".
Scar remembered being her trying to kill him and stood up.
"What's so important about that?", he asked her.
"He might help us", Lust said starting to walk towards the house where she knew he lived.
Scar grabbed her arm. "You're forgetting one thing. Has soon as he sees us, he'll probably attack us if he's even home".
"Still, it's worth a try", Lust said walking towards the house. After a few paces she stopped and turned to Scar, "well, aren't you coming?".
Scar smiled to himself. Lust was has stubborn as Selena had been. Scar followed her to the house where Ed lived and Lust was knocking on the door by the time he caught up with her. At first nobody answered the door so Lust knocked again. This time there was an answer, and the short old woman from last time stood in the doorway.
"What are you doing here?", Ed said when he saw them in the doorway.
"Calm down, we're not here to kill you", Lust said as Ed transmuted his arm into a sword.
"As a matter of fact, we came to ask for your help", Scar said.
"Why would I help you of all people?", Ed said.
"Because we can help you", Lust answered, "how'd you like to know whose been controlling the homunculi? Or the real reason that Maes Hughes was killed?".
That last bit caught Ed off guard and surprise showed on his face. Lust smiled when she knew she had won and took a step into the house.
"All of our rooms are filled, you'll have to sleep in the basement if you want to sleep anywhere", the old woman said realizing that Ed was allowing them to stay.
"That'll be fine", Scar said to her.
The old woman left the room leaving no one except for Ed, Scar, and Lust. The tension was so thick that you could cut a knife through it.
"Before I tell you anything I want you to promise me that you won't tell anybody that we're here. Especially the military", Lust said.
"Ok, fine. I won't tell anybody", Ed said to her.
At that moment Al walked in through the front door. When he saw Lust in Scar he immediately tensed and got ready for a fight.
"It's alright Al, they're not here for a fight", Ed said before Al could do anything stupid.
"But Brother, what if—",
"Don't, we're not here to hurt you", Lust said in a voice that sounded sincere. Something that neither Ed nor Al had ever heard from the homunculus.
Ed turned his sword back into a regular arm and sat down in a chair. Al just stood where he was, whether he was in shock or totally surprised nobody could tell.
"I think I'll wait till there's less tension before I talk to you again", Lust said turning to leave the room.
Scar stayed where he was. He didn't entirely trust Ed, but if it meant a place to stay where the military wouldn't find him, he didn't mind.

Lust stood outside, looking up at the stars. They night was beautiful, and her pale skin reflected in the moonlight. The stars shown brightly in a cloudless sky, adding to the nights beauty. Lust smiled when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist and relaxed into them.
"You were right. Though I don't trust him", Scar said to him.
"Don't, you're ruining the moment by talking about things like that", Lust said to him.
"What would you prefer I talked about?", Scar asked lightly nibbling on her ear.
"What you're doing right now is fine", Lust said has Scars kisses went to her neck.
Scars hands went to her breasts and Lust put her hands over his. Scars lips brushed against hers and that was how Ed found them. He gasped in surprise when he saw the two together like this. A cold hearted killer and a soulless doll, in a very intimate relationship.
"Ahem", Ed said making his presence known to them.
They both turned around to face Ed, but not breaking apart.
"Um, I just came to tell you that they basements ready for you", Ed said before running off.
Lust turned in Scars arms and looked up into his eyes. Those blood red eyes that she had come to love.
"I think we scared him don't you?", Lust said to him.
"I think he'll be in a state of shock for a few days after seeing that", Scar said back to her.
"Maybe we should give him more to be shocked about", Lust said running her hands over his muscular chest.
"As nice has that sounds, I think we should got to bed", Scar said.
The two walked back into the house and followed Ed down into the basement. Besides the fact that it was dark, and parts for automail took up most of the space, it was actually quite nice. A small area had been set aside for Scar and Lust to sleep in. An extra mattress and some blankets had been set up for them.
Scar walked over to the mattress and laid down on it pulling Lust with him. This was the closest thing to a bed they had slept on in a long time. Lust didn't sleep peacefully this time. It was the first night in a long time where she dreamt. Most of the time they were memories, but not this one. This one was a dream…
She stood on a balcony, overlooking the city. It had taken awhile but with the help of the state the city of Ishbal had been rebuilt. The woman smiled has she watched her daughter playing in the street with other children. A pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist from behind and she relaxed into her husband's arms.
"How's my son doing?", he asked her nibbling on her ear and rubbing her expanding belly.
"The last time you said that we had Jessica", the woman said turning around in his arms.
"Yes, but this time I know it will be a boy", he said smiling at her.
"You said that when he had Annie as well", the woman said kissing her husband lightly on the lips.
The sound of a baby crying interrupted their moment and the two broke apart. The woman walked into the nursery and picked up her second child, Annie, who had just woken up from a nap and was begging for attention. The three year olds arms reached for her father who took her into his arms. His wife chuckled.
"What's so funny?", he asked her.
"Oh, I'm just thinking of how you'll react when the day comes that you realize that she's not daddy's little girl anymore", his wife said smiling.
"That day will come for you too you know", he said putting Annie back in her bed.
"I know", his wife said putting her arms around her husbands neck, "but we have so much time until then".
Their lips met in a kiss that literally took their breath away…
Lust woke up in the middle of the night suddenly. She checked her surroundings. She was still in the basement, and Scar was still by her side. But she found that she couldn't get the dream out of her mind. Because the woman in it, was herself, and her husband had Scars face.
