Alchemist Meets Demon
Ch2 Alchemist Unknown
Roy sighed he had gotten a call from Major Hughes about a fight on the train; he really didn't know that would happen. Questions swam around his mind like school fish, who was this person that wanted Ed? Why did they want him in the first place? Where they going use him for something?
He messaged his temples again, squinting looking at the phone that was slammed down on the receiver when Hughes said he needed a woman. His eyes flitted over to the locked drawer as he took a key from his pocket and unlocked it, picking up a picture in light brown framing. He smiled the picture was taken last year at a small pool party at Hughes residence, he really didn't want to go swimming and it seemed that Ed wasn't inclined to go swimming either.
Later that day thought he found the child crying and tried to console him, but that look in those golden eyes crushed him to the point of pulling Ed into his arms to hug. Those eyes were so emotional, so lost and looking for love that wasn't a family type of love, the kind he craved. Ed was no longer a child now; he was 18 years old and considered an adult.
He sighed again his feelings for Ed seemed to get in the way of lots of things lately, while he did paper work and Riza held up a gun to his head to keep him working he would look forward to when he came to give a report. It was a nice break from gunpoint and it was fun to tease him about his height, it made him so angry.
Staring at the picture he chuckled, he was holding Ed about the waist while giving the small blonde bunny ears with his other hand smirking like a child. Ed really didn't think it was funny since he was a little red faced, but he thought he detected a bit of blush in the red of anger there.
A soft knock made him almost drop the picture as he put it back in his cabinet and locked it putting the key in his pocket patting it.
"Come in." was his gruff reply as Lieutenant Hawkeye came in with more papers and a look of utter dismay on her face as if one had just slapped her, she sighed shutting the door and setting the papers on his desk.
"What's wrong?" He ventured to ask her as she sat on the edge of his oak desk, her finger was stroking the gun she had at her hip, eyes now ablaze with fire and anger.
"Havoc pinched my ass." She said through clenched teeth, he couldn't help but chuckle at that he always thought Havoc was a man's man, at one point in time he actually though that Havoc was in love with Cain.
"Did you do anything afterwards?" he asked wondering how she handled the situation, probably shot him either a) killing him, b) mortally wounding him, or c) wounding him so Cain would come to the rescue and realize his love for Havoc. He figured choice a and or b as she hopped off his desk to face him, oh lord it was the gaze of doom as the fiery pits of hell were cast behind her.
"I shot him and missed but Cain came to save his ass again." She grumbled looking pissed.
"I swear that man gets off on pinching woman's ass'." Roy chuckled at her as she cast him a don't you dare look with her hand still on her gun. He sighed shaking his head getting back to work as she leaned against the wall watching him, it had been three hours so far since Hughes had called and the train wouldn't get here until midnight so his thoughts often drifted back to that summers day while the scratching of a pen to crisp white paper was the only noise in the silenced office. Roy looked up to see a smirk on Riza's face, he wondered what she was thinking and then he didn't want to know as a sweat drop made it's way down his head and he got back to work when her hand took the gun out of it's hip holster to look at.
Riza welcomes the quite for once, it had been so long since she had gotten time to think though her thoughts now were to kill Havoc, she couldn't Cain would be so mad at her even if she just hurt him juat a little. But that little fantasy of having her gun out and shooting the annoying men for the shit they put her through, oh yes that got a smirk, an evil smirk on her lips as she chuckled softly.
Her hand went to the gun at her hip holster, taking it out she looked at it the silver gun glinted dangerously at her. She had a boyfriend long ago that was like her gun, he stayed loyal to her and even was there when she needed him but then he thought to cheat on her. It was many years before she became a Lieutenant here at HQ and that what caused her to have an icy demeanor with some men.
It was a cold December she had just gotten a hot cocoa at a stand, Central was so beautiful in her opinion when it snowed; the soft pieces of frozen rain blew all over with a soft howling of wind. She had thought to go Christmas shopping for Hanzu; he was a great guy, strong, sensitive and very handsome. He even showed off at the target practice area where she first met him, she had been very clumsy with the gun and he had come over to help her with it by standing behind her and putting his hands around hers to show her the correct way to shoot a firearm.
She walked about Centrals town for a while just relishing the fact of having a lover for the first time it felt good and she didn't need to carry so many burdens on her own, also had someone to tell her troubles to who would comfort her in times of need and want. Walking into a craft shop she looked around sipping on the hot liquid that scalded her throat but in a good way, she put her fuzzy white coat cap back while soft pieces of snow fell from the action.
It had caught her eye, once she had gone down a random isle it was just sitting there with a bunch of other junk in a bin marked down for 50 off. Reaching into the wooden bin she brought out a snow globe with a male angel in it, he was wearing a white flowing robe of white, dark hair swirled in the water as the brown eyes looked on joyously, while he played the flute. It looked almost like Hanzu, except his eyes weren't brown but green, that's when she got the idea to take it a pawn shop to have them fix it up, the glass itself looked very old and yellow, while the paint on the angel itself was disappearing. The wings though were beautiful; they were a shiny white gold as a small cherub child peaked out from the left wing with a lute in hand as if to play along with the male angel.
She shook it the pieces of what was supposed to be white snow was now yellow and brown with old age. She would change that to glitter of some sort and have the cherub child fixed as well. Walking over to the cashier she was fingering the fine workman ship of the mini platform the globe sat on, golden chipped miniature bows strung together to wind about the perimeter while garden leaf designs wove about and into each other to create the illusion of a garden with small rose petals dancing with the leaves. Her hand fiddled with the designs on the counter as she reached into her purse for the money and paid bidding the woman good-bye and picking up her treasure thinking of a way to wrap it once it was done.
She was now on her way to the pawnshop, she had a friend who would fix this up for her and maybe have it done at half price if she was lucky enough.
"Riza, what's this piece of junk?" asked Herbert the old man took the globe in hand rotating it watching the nasty snowfall inside and snorted at the crappy workman ship on the thing it was prosaically old, older then him!
"Could you fix it up for me, it's going to be a present for Hanzu." Her eyes light up in that special way as the old man raised an eyebrow but smiled at her.
"Come back in three days, I'll be done then and this time I'm afraid you'll have to pay full price my dear." He chuckled handing her the paper bill that was printed up right on the spot.
She took the paper and sighed it wasn't that much, besides it would worth seeing that happy look on Hanzu's face when he got it.
"Okay take care of it for me Herby." She giggled walking out of the store as the bells on it jingled her departure. She felt like celebrating but not by herself so she took a detour to the park, she knew Hanzu would be gone for a while since he had business in Tubala. She smiled walking on the crunchy soft snow to look over the frozen pond; couples were bundled up in gloves and scarf's skating around the frozen water in all its glory.
She was reminded of the first time they went ice-skating, he had fallen first as she tumbled down into his lap they shared a loud laugh and then kissed. It was then that's he picked her up and then the rest was history as she gave herself to him that night.
A giggle caught her attention, a red head was leaning on a man at the edge of the pond his arm about her lovingly her pale skin was flushed from the cold probably. The man looked at her with love in those green eyes she knew so well. My god was that Hanzu? She crept up on them walking over casually and then hiding behind a tall shrub as the girl was lead to a bench and they sat down.
"Hanzu will you spend Christmas with me this year? The family wants to meet you." It was the red head talking as she peaked from the side of the shrub, Hanzu's hand was still about her waist as he chuckled. Dark strands of black hair fell into his face as the red head tucked them behind his ear like she always did.
"No I'm afraid that will have to wait for awhile you know how business is, they make me work for long hours. So sorry honey bear." That made her blood run cold, he was on a business trip not here and yet here he was telling a lie! She couldn't take it as her vision became blurry, she sobbed quietly at first but then let it all out as she let herself be seen by her boy friend who yelled at her.
"Riza wait!" he left the red head behind sputtering as she heard loud footfalls in the snow, she ran to the inner most part of the park sitting down on the wheel-go-round as weight was distributed to the left of her. She kept crying as a pair of arms reached out for her, she swatted them away.
"You bastard! WHY!" was the only questioned she wanted to know and for him to tell her. He looked taken aback when she finally snapped and slapped him hard in the face, before he could say anything she yelled again.
"I don't want to know anymore, get away from me or I'll call the police about a stalker!" she growled out in her misery as she ran far away from him, from the pain, the loneliness she would endure this year. She ran not knowing where her feet were taking her as she looked up and saw the pawnshop and knew what she had to do. Flinging the door open with gusto she looked around the front of the shop for Herbert must be in the back she thought looking around for the globe. She found it behind the front desk and sighed looking at the angel globe and without remorse she hopped over the desk taking the globe in hand and throwing it to the ground that's when Herbert came in; he was a bit disappointed at her for ruining something but he went over to hug her, he had a cup of coffee in hand and set it down on the desk.
"Before you say anything, my life shattered with that globe Herbert, my heart is now in pieces just as the sharp glass, and I can see myself cowering from not being loved. I can't love again Herbert. God it hurts." She fell to her knees in despair as her once kind eyes had changed; she was a lighthearted child in an adult's body once and then she changed to a cold-hearted woman who didn't want love.
That year she spent Christmas with a bottle of refined red wine and some gingerbread cookies, she drank the whole bottle and passed out on the couch.
Sighing the memories of past loves are painful she thought clicking the gun to make Mustang work faster; she watched fascinated at the way his dark eyes got a bit wide and fiery as though his life was on the line, but then he got back to work now only looking at her now and then. Sometimes he would try and sneak a glance or look at her from the sides of his eyes, he never got his work done on time it irked her to no end. They usually went home around one in the morning and she guessed he was only fooling around because he wanted to meet Hughes, and Ed at the train station. It was great to see Roy finally take an interest in someone for so long, no scratch that the boy was his obsession when he first saw him in his office. While the chibi boy asked about having a party or something more for getting his watch Roy smirked, it wasn't a hungry smirk but one of friendly and welcoming not to scar the boy to much.
She watched Roy grope for more papers; low and behold all of them were gone! He looked over at were his hand was, nothing but polished oak desk stared back at him. He looked at that spot for about five minutes before realizing he was actually done. Riza chuckled at him as he looked up a smirk on his face, the clock ticked by slowly showing that it only 10.
"You want to go wait for them at the train station Lieutenant?" was all Roy said getting up from his seat, earlier he had taken his blue uniform jacket off since it was a bit hot in here and now he put it back on buttoning up the golden buttons, that sent him into a frenzy of day dreaming about a certain blonde boy who was coming home to the dorms. He was so excited on the inside, his heart was cheering him on but his brain told his body not to betray anything least Riza suspect something.
"I believe it sounds like a wonderful idea Colonel" he watched her go out of his office to get a coat as he pulled his own coat off the wooden wrack, thus turning the lights out and closing his office door. Once he locked up and put on his coat he was joined by Riza, they walked side-by-side in the HQ building until they were outside she walked a bit faster then him as he dawdled behind people on his mind.
So some one wants Ed for a collection item? What is wrong with this person, people aren't dolls to put on display, no he won't let the boy go and won't let him out of his sights once he gets back here to Central, though he won't be the one to watch him that would be to obvious, it was like putting a kick me sign on your own back. Armstrong would be a good bodyguard since he did an exallent job last time when Scar was gallivanting through Central killing Alchemists. He knew regular people were being taken as well as Alchemists, its been happening for about a month or so now here. Family members would go out on a train or on a trip on their own and not show up for days or weeks. No ransom note or trace of them was found anywhere, strange enough not even alchemy was found to have aided this person in anyway; the only clue was a patch of fur belonging to a wolf but they didn't have wolfs here unless one went to the zoo and the zoo keeper said those wolfs were in their cage all night.
Yes he knew of the kidnappings but at first they didn't know why these people were being targeted and Hughes served in a way to give him the clue of the missing puzzle. The documents signed tonight were of the past few weeks of people missing, he found most kidnapped seemed to be teens, the majority were girls and but a few were boys 18 years or a bit older.
This person calls himself or herself the Collector Alchemist, taking humans as collectables it seems. But what would he/she gain from this? He was stopped in thoughts as Riza waved a hand at him; he blinked at her ad she chuckled.
"Where here Colonel, you might want to take a seat." She said pointing to a row of wooden long waiting chairs. Since they wouldn't be here now he decided a nap would do him some good, so with that he sat with Riza while she took out a newspaper from her back pocket to read.
"Wake me up when they get here." He yawned behind a hand, while taking a bench next to the one she sat on and laid down for rest. It was a few moments before he was settled in, a wooden bench isn't the best place to sleep but it was this or get hyped up on coffee, which he didn't want; he was already getting off a coffee high from this morning.
Riza just shook her head and sighed, that man really needed more sleep but he never really finished his paperwork this early so it was the perfect time for him to rest before dealing with the short one. Unfolding the paper she flicked it slightly to get the pages to stay erect as she read a article called "Military Be Wary of The Citizens" her eyes grew large as she read the small article, it seemed the citizens were looking for their own and some went missing recently, it seems the towns folk don't trust them anymore what a joke. The government was corrupt she knew that but not every human being was evil in the Military, at least the ones under the Colonel weren't corrupt and sure as hell Ed and Al aren't corrupt she blinked reading on and waiting while Roy snoozed.
Darkness consumed Chirosu as he ran into a cave, taking a torch from the wall he walked into the cave. It's interior was very creepy, his boss loved it that way besides the fact that the cave was there to hide the entrance into the place he called home.
Bats squeaked at him for using the torch he snorted at the creature they were unclean and very nasty in his opinion. The fire cast shadows around him when growling came to his ears he chuckled knowing he was getting closer to the front door. Walking down a steep grade in the earth he stumbled a bit as a cut appeared on his side, he growled that girl got him! Well no matter the boss would take care of her real good; he knows how to manipulate others into doing what he wants them to and to gain what he wants from them.
A metal door stood in front of him, the metal gleaming menacingly at him as he took the wheel like knob in hand and turned it to the right a few times stepping back the door made a whoosh sound as dust was kicked up and it opened up for him to step through. He took those few steps necessary to be in as the metal door swung shut to make the torch blow out, but there was no need of the fire anymore because of the other torches up ahead, they made a soft glow like fireflies in the night of a sweet smelling spring.
The scent of wolf wafted to his nose suddenly as he came upon his clan, the woman were tucking in some of the children reading the stories about the clan, the moon, or about their great leader.
Growling got his attention as two males started to fight, both were equally matched how ever as they tussled around and almost got a child hurt, the mother of said child growled at them both smacking them both across the face digging her claws in there faces, pointing to and yelling.
"Do you know what you almost did to my son! You big oafs! If you want to fight do it in another area were the children don't sleep!" from were he stood Chirosu could tell that was Ninana she had given birth to a small boy his name Kitchu a strong boy, who excelled in much. He chuckled at the looks on both the males faces but in the world of demons and animals among the humans one must understand to hurt the young will upset the mother into a righteous fury and some times one can't get out of the mess made because the mother might want death instead of strict warning growl and swipe of the deadly claws.
Both the males grumbled about female inpetilance as both got their rears kicked into a wall, Ninana snorted at them going back over to her frightened child and cooing to him and began to sing a song for him.
Hush little child let the waves rock you to sleep
Close those bright eyes my darling boy
Do you see the waters of oceanic blue?
Feel the ship wavering softly
Let those heavy lids slide
So you can dream those wondrous dreams
Hush little child let the waves rock you to sleep.
Once she was done the boy in her arms yawned curling up against her and softly nuzzling his head into her chest not wanting to be put to sleep but she only smiled putting the child back into warm fur covers, the boy whimpered lightly but when she kissed his cheek he sighed happily and snuggled in the covers for the warmth he lost from her body.
She only needed to scent that he had a cut as she ran up to him and pulled him down into the quite den of sleeping children and rowdy males, some of whom were elders who were playing a game the humans called chess.
"Chirosu you should have told me you were hurt." Her own expression was of hurt as red eyes had shown him the first sob that brought on tears, the salty smell assaulted his nose as he held her tight in his arms and sighed; her crying would wake the little ones so he steered her into another part of the cave that was considered the dinning room no one was there at this time of night seeing as feeding time was already over.
Pieces of bone littered the floor in piles, some broken in half to get the marrow others whole and chewed on. They were all different colors, white, pale white, gray, yellow, and brown from its days rotting down here to become the soil beneath they're bare feet
Hands reached over to his side were the cut was he grimaced at the fingers probing at the light cut. He took those hands within his own to stop Ninana and growled at her eyes glaring but they softened as she sighed giving in to the male of his clan, which he was. He took her chin in his hand, as she looked ground ward and looked her straight in the eyes.
"What is wrong Nini?" it wasn't a pet name rather a family name that each member of his clan called her, moisture gathered in small pearl clumps on her cheeks as she hugged him roughly they both fell to the floor in a heap, he wrapped his arms around the woman and sighed rubbing her back.
"You risk your life for us so much Chichi, we all love you as a brother and leader. Why must the master send you on such dangerous missions?" she whimpered out nuzzling into his chest as he stood and brought her with him. His cut had healed itself now; the only proof it had even been there was the thin line of dried blood that flaked off. Her pale skin seemed to get paler from torchlight as her red eyes flickered and her wild messy orange hair blew in an invisible wind, crimson lips frowned as the bottom lip was being chewed on. She wore a tan one-piece fur top and a tan loincloth, her tail was an orange brown color and ears were pointed like an elf seeing as she was a full demon.
"I must do this for our clan, you and the others knew we were dyeing in that village governed by the Wolfman's. I do this to protect you and your cub from the horrors of the human world and the corrupt demons who plague the pups nightmares." He cooed this to her softly petting her hair as she looked at him with a watery smile.
"Go over see that the children are asleep Nini, then go to bed I must be off soon after feeding to meet up with the master." His voice was firm and commanding as she sighed at him heavily he could feel the breath against his chest and he shivered, she giggled and got away from his strong grip.
"Very well, I would like to talk with you later though about a new mate." With another girlish giggle she was off to watch the young children sleep.
"You know she loves you right?" said a voice from the door as Ninana left; it was one of the men who had been fighting earlier.
"Bardog why do you fight with the other males over such petty reasons?" he asked looking about the cave floor finding a hunk of meat still on the bone of what used to be a cow, he tore into the meat with gusto ripping off large hunks as cold blood ran down his chin dripping to the floor with a soft plop as each pearl shape came off his chin. After finding food he found a place that was void of bones in the dinning room and sat down on a rock formation that looked some what like a seat, he patted for the other to follow and sit the male did and grunted doing so.
Bardog was a strapping young wolf demon, he was lean and muscular, he wore a strap of plate armor as he did, and knew how to handle a sword as he did but his specialty was hand-to-hand combat. Bardog was his right hand man when things got out of control but from what he saw tonight it didn't look good. He seemed to like the furry leggings since they were worn all the time, he said once that armor plates on the feet made him slow and Chirosu was believing him at this point, perhaps he should replace his foot plate with another fur legging? He finished off his meal in no time flat as he began chewing the bone for the marrow inside.
"So what was it this time?" he asked between chewing on the bone while his friend had stayed silent.
"That bastard Kolui was making his chamber bigger then everyone else's because his wife is due sometime this full moon, I got angry and we started fighting when Ninana put kit to bed." His friend grumbled as he finally snapped the bone in half he was licking the soft substance as he spoke.
"I will have a talk with Kolui and his mate later when I return from a talk with the master, I bid you farewell till then my friend." He stood up throwing the bone onto the floor, he licked his lips and chin to make him more presentable, then decided to go look for some water. He went back into the sleeping chambers to find a bone bowl was full of cold water and a fur there for him to dry his face.
Smiling he washed his face hurriedly going back up the dip to the metal door and taking a detour into one of the back rooms none of the others knew was there in the cave. He went around a bend to take a right at a cement statue of the master and took a left of a dragon statue. Once that was done he stepped up to double oak wooden doors that were plain and opened in their own accord. He stepped into the darkened room the shadows not making him jump nor cower in fear he was a proud wolf for God sakes; thought the temperature change bothered him even with furry clothes on. He stood in the middle of this cold roo for quite some time till a voice spoke up.
"Chirosu why haven't you brought the Princes Soriana?" it wasn't an old voice but a young one, sounded as young as him maybe the age of the girl he was supposed to kidnap.
"Master I'm sorry but a blonde boy with two fake limbs intervened…" he whimpered, now he cowered in fear for when the master was angry he paid big, last time he was beat up so bad that his cuts opened up when he moved, he was even placed in a special cell were one could control the temperature in which the master did making it so cold that the oozing blood dried on his cuts it felt like razors digging into his skin. He shivered at that torture he had to stay in the cave for a month to recover first from the cuts and then the change in temperature.
"Fake limbs? Were they metal?" there was hope in the masters voice as he found when he whimpered he had crouched down to the ground to make himself small, standing back up with courage and maybe hope this time he wouldn't get killed he spoke as fluently as possible without fear in his voice.
"Yes, he had two metal limbs and a very weird eye color for a human." There was noise behind him as a shadowy figured moved around, the slapping of feet to tile was heard as something moved closer to him scene on high alert but he wouldn't move; he had willed himself not to move when the master watched him from the back.
"What color were they?" the voice was now next to his ear as lips brushed past it, he couldn't help the shiver that ran down his spine. Hand began to wonder about his spine, warm fingers tracing a path straight down eliciting more shivers.
"Th-they were gold master, g-gold." He whispered as the one at his back chuckled nibbling on his ear, those hands no longer played with his back but reached around his waist to grab him and pull him against a muscled chest; the breathing on his neck made the small hairs rise to the heat and possible danger he was in.
"Good boy Chirosu, that would be the Fullmetal Alchemist who is the young boy prodigy that I want. Nab Soriana as well, they are both powerful and beautiful in my eyes." The breathing located back to his neck as kisses were distributed.
He took in a breathe of relief this time the master was very happy with him, something that happened more and more these days. But the touching had stopped as something cold was put against his neck; to him it smelt like iron.
"Do not fail me this time Chirosu or I will kill you myself." The voice said before slashing a deep cut in his throat, he tried to talk but gurgled out blood as it spewed from the gash as he fell to the floor the pain was unbearable was that poison on the blade?
"My dearest play thing, you will be healed once I'm done but do not fail…" were the last words he heard as lips descended onto his gash nibbling and chewing on the bloody flesh. His head began to swim vision going blurry, he knew he would blackout soon and go unconscious from blood lose seeing as it was being sucked into a mouth. The last thing seen were the eyes of his master, dark forest green glowing with hunger for blood and a kill but he knew he would be fine the masters saliva would heal the cut and he would get a blood transfusion once he was able to stand.
Blackness claimed Chirosu as his master sucked on the slit throat, the only sound that night besides the small talk was the slurping of one eating his dinner in private.
After their meal the trio went back to Edwards compartment where Hughes already was waiting for them, he smiled as they came in.
"Enjoy yourselves?" he asked as the three sat down across from him with Soriana in the middle.
"Cut the crap Hughes, I know you were spying on us earlier." Grumbled Soriana who seemed a bit antsy and angry. Ed rolled his eyes bit kept an eye on Joushine, that man seems so weird and it's obvious he's in love with Soriana but she dosen't look his age.
"Well when we get back to Central Ed you'll be under supervision, along with Soriana." Hughes chuckled at both the teens faces, Ed's was contorted in total degust, his lip moving but not sound coming as his eyes got wide, that's when he went on a ran about being told what to do and a dog on a leash. Soriana on the other hand sighed probably used to the treatment of being supervised seeing as Joushine was with her all the time but they could take her off his hands for a while so he could be by himself to think.
"Ed calm down, you can't get out of this by behaving like a child." Hughes sighed pushing up his glasses while watching a brooding Soriana but she stayed silent nonetheless. Now wasn't the time to argue with Ed, they really needed sleep they would be in Central in about an hour or two.
"Guys get some sleep." Hughes said jumping up to stretch, popping the kinks out of his sore neck and rubbing it with a hand afterwards.
"If it hurts so much after stretching then don't do it Hughes." Soriana yawned looking out the large window and frowning; oh yeah she missed the sun going down since Joushine had to change. She always loved the sunrise he knew when she came to Central that first year.
He was walking along the hall thinking of his wife Gracia, she had gotten pregnant and boy was he a happy camper! He would be a father soon or as Riza put it, he would be a father in a few more months when the baby grew.
He had papers to drop off at Roy's office that day and that's what he was coming back from, yelling from an open window caught his attention as he went over to it to poke a head out. The sight that greeted him almosthad him falling out of the second story building of HQ; Roy was yelling at a new subordinate about something so he snuck on out to listen in on the conversation.
"-of the tree Soriana your sister is worried about you!" Roy grumbled actually climbing up the tree to get to the person, suddenly he couldn't see either and the talking stopped or so he thought as he walked over to the tree and took a look in the branches.
"-ver knew what my sister saw in you Mustang and she shouldn't worry she knows I risk my life." Grumbled a female voice, as Hughes stepped around the tree halfway he saw a swaying red and silver highlighted braid. A soft chuckle followed afterwards by a smack and Roy falling out of the branches to land with his head in the ground.
"Mustang if you weren't my sisters boyfriend at the moment I would of killed you, and next time I find out you've been hitting on other girls or my other sisters I'll break your limbs and eat them." She growled out jumping from her branch to land next to the Colonels spasaming body, she smiled looking up into the sky as the pale yellows were painted about with light pink fading to a red. The moon and stars came out to play some time later while navy blues and dark purples weaved into the sky to dance around the sparkling jewels of the night.
"Major Hughes, I just love the sunset." The girl named Soriana said turning to look at him as his mouth gaped like a fish out of water.
"Oh tell Roy I'll be seeing him later on about my sister and that promise he made to her." She shook her head and couldn't seem to resist pinching Mustangs ass cheek as the man came to consciousness trying to heave his head out of the ground.
At that he laughed his ass off with Ed wondering what was son funny and Soriana chuckling.
"You always knew I liked sunrises and sunsets, oh I do hope he remembers his promise and mine." Her eyes glittered dangerously as Hughes' laughing calmed down to a few chuckles this really wasn't good but Roy hadn't known and still dosen't know that when you break up with a demon their siblings will come after you; now he had to keep Soriana and Ed from killing Roy he was going to be unusually busy when he got back to Central. Maybe his sweet daughter Alysia could turn those cold hearts of stone into warm loving people it was worth a try seeing as the two would probably spend lots of time together and there's nothing he can do about it this time. If she spazzs out or what ever or it's that time of month she turns into her form then there's nothing he can do at the moment, Ed will then know what she is and he can only hope they don't mistake her for a chimera.
"Hughes will we be confined to a dorm room?" he nodded his head to her question as she sighed heavily, Joushine put his hand on her shoulder as she looked tiredly back at him with weary eyes; Hughes had never seen Soriana this tired before he was told demons rarely even slept and when they did it was just for a little while.
"Yes, now get some sleep you two, Jou I need to talk with you." Getting up from his seat Hughes stood going over to the door and sliding it open and waiting for the other man to follow him, he was a bit reluctant to leave the girls side but she chided him along and pushed him off her chair.
"Go on Jou, he only wants to talk." Soriana smiled at Jou as he grimaced back at her as if he had been cut but nodded his head going out the open the door as Hughes closed it. They were going to talk about the situation how it was going to be executed and that Jou couldn't help right now that he would jeopardize her safety. She lay down on the chair surprised to find a pillow under her head while looking up to see bright golden eyes looking into her silver.
"Thank you." She murmured turning her head watching him flop down on his own chair bed, which had a pillow on it as well.
"So what are you called The Silver Kitsune Alchemist?" she knew he didn't mean to pry, he was only curious she complied not telling him the whole truth but only half.
"The energy color that I have is silver, as yours is blue we all have different colored energy so it's easier to tell whose it is; as for the kitsune part I don't know, they say I look like one or act as one but I'm not so sure." She stifled a yawn with her hand curling up like a kitten and rolling over for sleep, she really didn't want to talk anymore sleep seemed to be more amusing then talking at the moment.
"Night Ed." She whispered closing her eyes as Ed nodded to her curling up on his own bed; she seemed very tired and venerable now. He watched her sleep for a while she was a firecracker when she awake but now she looked like an innocent child just as he would have been had it not been for his mother's death and the use of forbidden alchemy.
He finally yawned the day had warn on him as well, it seemed Hughes and Jou would be gone for some time to talk as it were. He settled his head on the soft pillow and closed his eyes for dreamland to take him away.
Darkness consumed him even as he opened his eyes; it was like a tightly wrapped blanket had attached itself to his body. He tried alchemy on it but the blue light did nothing, next he tried to wiggle his way out of it but that didn't work either his whole life was flashing in minds eye and before he knew it he was in a cold place.
"Edwarrrrrd…" a voice called out to him, a slimy limb patted his head, and he screamed bloody murder to anyone who would hear him.
"Edwarrrrd do not be ssscared…you resurrected meeee…" smelly rotten flesh hit his nostrils as a bony gray face with eyes missing was looking at him from above. He wasn't wrapped in a blanket but was being held by the corpse of his mother!
"No let me go, let me go please!" his pleas were heard but the monster wouldn't let him go, it held on tighter digging the bony nails into his side and the broken ribs puncturing his back. He struggled in the arms of his dead mother who held fast to him like a treasure, the bony head came down on his golden hair in a kiss of affection but to him it sent shivers down his spine as she combed her hand through his hair taking the braid out and nuzzling him like a mother would.
"Get off me! Go away, let me go!" he screamed himself hoarse trying to get away, that's when a sound echoed through the darkness. That sound, where had he heard it from before? Ed's fog crazed mind didn't realize who it was that made the noise but it came closer, he squinted in the darkness to see a orange glow coming closer like a beckon of hope.
The dead corpse that held him turned it's skeletal like head in an inhuman fashion, turning the head around on the neck so it faced the back watching the orange glow coming faster this time, the closer it got the faster it got. The mother corpse hissed at it as she stood placing Ed at her hip and walking away from it, but the orange glow got to her before she could get away as it made her drop him and he tumbled to a mess into the darkness again hugging his knees to his chest and rocking back and forth shivering not from the cold but from old memories.
He thought he could hear Nina's voice calling for him.
"Big brother!" something collided with him, he looked at the distorted child beast, and she was fused with her dog to make a chimera. Paws wound there way around him in a friendly hug as a tongue licked his tears away in a comforting manner. He leaned into her crying for all it was worth only to have her blow up before his very eyes, organs and innards were splattered across his face along with large splotches of blood. His eyes quivered as they filled with tears again, he brought up his white gloved hands they had blood on them and pieces of unknown tissue.
"Nina…" his voice quivered out as he fell to the floor and curled up in a ball.
"Fullmetal get up." He heard a voice he knew in the back of his mind, but at the moment he was lost in his mind.
"Fullmetal I said get up." The voice was a bit more rough this time as a hand was laid on him jumped up to see an orange glowing fire on the tips of white gloved fingers, he watched the fire dance as it was reflected in his glazed red eyes. He looked at the slim fingers as they reached out for him again pulling him into a strong chest; he struggled knowing something bad would happen again. He closed his eyes waiting for the evil to return when it didn't he opened up his eyes to stare into a pair of charcoal colored eyes that light a fire deep within, heat began pooling in his belly as he felt hot.
"Fullmetal your fine now." He knew that voice, he knew those eyes they were Roy's! He struggled to get out of his grip but alas the man had a tight hold on him and wouldn't let him go, soon he relaxed in the embrace melting into the strong chest.
"Ed, lay with me." Were the words that tickled his ear as lips played with the lobe nibbling on it affectionately, he shivered at the hot breath while Roy pulled him closer in intimacy. (Sorry guys but from here if you want to see the formentened scene it will be posted in its under the same Tittle and my names WhiteWolfOfIce, again sorry guys.)
"Ed it's time to wake up." Something shook him; he looked up half lidded to see a distorted face foggy face.
"Eh?" he asked with a parched throat.
"Edward get up you lazy bum!" was that Soriana?
He opened his eyes slowly as three blurry circles came into focus to become Hughes, Soriana and Jou's face they were all looking down at him. Wait a minute, why was he on the floor? A blush crept up to his cheeks when he remembered what had happen in his dream, that felt so real and yet it wasn't, dreams usually hype him up if there like that and that was how his dreams had went since he met Roy Mustang.
"You were moaning in your sleep." Soriana said giving him her hand as he as he was pulled up with little effort on his part.
"Wh-what did I say?" he asked a blush appearing on his cheeks as he faked a morning yawn and looked about for his red coat. She smiled at him; it wasn't the all-knowing smile that at least comforted him.
"You were moaning for you mom and some one named Nina." She softly spoke, stifling a yawn with her hand. He sighed watching her go out of the compartment while he searched for his suitcase and grabbed it his red coat fell from atop it, catching it and putting it on he ran out of the compartment to catch up with Soriana and Jou.
Hughes had come across something interesting last night as he fingered the journal in his pocket, it was intruding on someone's life but Ed really needed a lover, weather it be a woman or Roy in this case he chuckled evilly plotting. An idea then popped into his head, he would give the journal to Roy and let him read it oh yes this was going to be delicious.
He meet up with the other three once getting off the station to find Riza standing with a newspaper under one arm and poking Roy to get up; it was a comical sight. Ed was laughing so hard he was doubled over holding his stomach, while Soriana snorted at the sight a frown on her face as if expecting the man to be awake at this hour. Jou just stared into space while watching over the girl, his distaste was known from the expression on his face.
"Colonel their here!" Riza prodded Roy with her finger, he rolled over swiping a hand at her, but once he heard Ed's laughing he growled getting up at last a sour look on his face. His mind was still in the foggy essence of the dream world and shooting into the clouds when a hand came very close to his head and then a loud slap followed making him come awake fully. His eyes focused on a girl frowning at him, her outfit wasn't very slutty and he hadn't remembered bedding her but then the sparkling watch from lamp light caught his eye, he opened his mouth again as that hand slapped him a second time to shut him up it seems.
"You bastard…" the girl shook visibly as her silver eyes pierced his, his brain finally caught up with him he had the scence to run when she growled like an animal would.
"You broke up with my sister and made sure I didn't know, when my older sister came home crying to me that you broke up with her…" she raised her hand, fingers cracking in a dangerous way.
"You made a promise to Kiowa and you broke it…it's my duty to uphold the laws of my village and kill you!" she slapped him a third time as Hughes came up to her she held up her hand to silence him, this time her slap had hurt him for he had four fingernail marks across the cheek.
"…but seeing as this isn't my village I can't kill you but I can sure hurt you in more ways then one." She snorted as an unknown man came up behind her crimson eyes looking to him in degust as she turned around and sighed, the man wrapped an arm around her waist.
"You can do more later Soriana, now you must rest again to regain strength." the deep voice of the man said while the girl in his arms shivered, Roy knew better Soriana wasn't a weak girl she appeared to be so but when faced with danger she was on it and actually she herself was dangerous.
"Before anything else is done why don't we take this to my house, their I will explain what will be done to protect Fullmetal and Silver." He stood looking at both children, he got a heated glare form Soriana and an equally angry glare from Ed as he snorted pink staining his cheeks for some reason and turning his head as not to look him in the eye like usual.
"Sounds good to me Roy, we walking or did you drive an car here?" Hughes sighed relief he had really thought the girl was going to kill Roy, but then where would he of gotten another person for Ed to fall in love with.
"Unfortunately Hughes no, we walked and yes you all have to walk to my house it's not that far." He chuckled as Hughes walked over to the man and slipped something into his coat pocket, he was about to ask when the man put his index finger to his lips in a shh fashion. With a nod he was silent wondering if the others had seen the exchange but in fact the others were ahead of him and Hughes walking, Ed was talking with Riza while Soriana and the new guy were just silent but it seemed it was shared silence in a way. Maybe he should be the one in front since it was his house they were walking to, so he and Hughes jogged to the front so the others knew where they were going.
"So Hughes what is it you gave me?" he said in a hushed whisper, the other chuckled shaking his head in mirth.
"You'll have to find out once were done talking and all the little ones are asleep." The man shoved his glasses up his nose with his index finger and those glasses glinted dangerously at him, oh lord what as he up to now he knew that look and was going to give Hughes the book back when he went on his own way, waving to them all.
"I believe you can handle it from here Roy, Gracia is expecting me home." He so lied his way to get home but Roy didn't mind, one last person not to see off into the night.
As if that was her cue to go next Riza jogged up next to Roy to tell him something along the same lines, except that she had to feed Black Hyate.
"Later then Lieutenant" Ed said with a sigh thrusting his hands back into those black pants, he had watched Hughes talk with that bastard Colonel about something and now he was doomed to be in that mansion of his for ever; never getting out until it was time to get Al probably.
Roy slowed down to came to a slower walk as Ed was next to him, he grinned at the boy who looked a little flushed pink staining his cheeks and boy would he like to know what the short stuff was thinking. He sighed as did the boy, who put both hands behind his head, though he stopped since they were at his place, Ed bumped into him mumbling curses to high heaven. The other to had stopped as well; he had expected both to spout off about how he was even able to live in a large house.
"What the hell! Your liven in style while me and Al have to share a one room dorm you damned Colonel!" A metal fist was in his face with a red faced Ed, while the other to just looked on as if bored to death.
"Well come on guys and I'll tell you what's to be done." Opening the front gate he walked in with the other three trooping behind, while Ed grumbled more. He really was interested in the new guy, he looked strange and so did his eyes, it was as the man could see his soul it sent shivers down his spine.
The group made it inside as he dropped off his coat on a coat hanger along with the red coat Ed had on which stood out prominently against the wooden grain. He seated them all, getting them a cup of coffee each while sitting down on the chair across from the couch all three sat on.
"It has come to my attention that there is a threat on both of your life's, Fullmetal and Silver. To my knowledge the Military wanted you both to be confined within the dorms till this threat has passed; however in the past we have seen this to be the wrong choice. So thus you two and your friend there Soriana, will be staying here with me until the Fuehrer himself says you can leave. Enjoy your stay and don't get lost on your way to your rooms." He smirked in his cup of coffee, the rich tasting hot liquid was what got him started for the day and calmed him at night time before bed and now was a good time to have it because Ed was staying over; oh boy this was going to be a bit hard he had protested in the Riza's cell phone and wondered how the man got the damned number but he was called and told his assignment and mission to protect them both.
"Sorry about the introduction being so late as I had beaned you in the face a few times…" Soriana grinned like the mad hatter; probably wanting more hit time but went on.
"…this is Jou, my body guard." With that the man nodded in his direction while getting up and waiting for the girl to stand, she sighed getting up as well glaring at him all the while and going to her room.
"Hey dosen't she need to be showed around you place?" asked Ed in a claming voice, maybe coffee did that to the young boy as well as him? He chuckled putting down his mug of hot liquid, a shine coming to his eyes.
"No, she knows her way around this place since her sister used to be with me. Seeing this place must bring back memories for her." He saw the raised eyebrow at him while picking up his empty mug to put in the kitchen sink. He knew he was in for it in the morning, since when did he tell that girl not to get lost? It was actually only supposed to be directed at Ed but tonight he couldn't help himself. Now he had a an extra guest who was going to need a room, but man that guy was tall even taller then him Jolly Green Giant twin came to mind as he pictured the man with leafy hair, and green skin; his mind was messed up tonight fro the coffee or just lake of sleep from so much paperwork lately.
"Hey Colonel bastard where's my room?" Said Ed who was leaning against the kitchens door way with both hands folded in front of his chest and one leg folded over the other a bored look on his face as he looked at the floor instead of him; odd he usually looks at me when we talk. Shrugging it off as a flook he set his cup in the sink and walked over grabbing the boy by an arm who blushed trying to get his arm back but he couldn't from the grip Roy had on him.
Ed grumbled about perverted old men while he chuckled, a few hallways later they were standing in front of an oak door. The boy seemed a bit hesitant to go in so he opened the door for him and pushed him inside.
"Ed the room wont bit." He said hand sliding down his face as the boy looked around, they would get his suitcase later.
"Bed Ed, I'm sure Soriana and Jou are asleep as well." He grumbled watching the boy sigh and yawn with a nod. Man he really liked the tired Ed better cause he actually listened! Angels sang in the background as he went to his room, which was, across from both he girls and Ed's room.
He now reclined on his bed the book in hand, he was in his trunks and on top of the bed covers wondering if he should read any of it, though it was was private hmm he would read it!
Dear journal,
It was another hot day in the desert, go figure Al would sink in sand and spill out the contents on me! Eh the rest of the day was spent running around the dry aired sandy desert before a small village came into view, I had run into the place not knowing that something foul was about. In the middle of the village I had encountered a strange site, a fountain filled with red liquid at first I thought it was fruit punch so I took a white cup off the fountain and dipped it in; just then I was taken away from it to find out it was actually red wine. A few short jokes later and the explanation of my height for my age I Was sitting along with Al at a drink stand drinking a mug of apple juice. chuckle Strange music began to play as Al and me listened on in wonder, a man talked about the village being under the Sun Gods protection and them being this Gods children. His name was Father Cornello, so while talking with the owner of the drink stand we decided to move on but Al bumped into the shelf were the radio was and knocked it off as it fell to the ground smashing to pieces.
Al fixed it though by using his Alchemical skill, the men and woman around gasped saying he was just like Father Cornello.
"Why don't you put them up at the Fathers, Rose?" the man who ran the drink stand said, but we didn't go to this guy's place first stop it seemed was to be a miracle show. Yeah right snort so I saw with my own eyes that Father Cornello was only a fake using Alchemy. He made water into wine, sand into bread and healed a dead bird bringing it to life. Later on I met with Rose about what the Father did watching her clean the church's statues.
"All the cleaning in the world won't get you what you want." I sat there wondering if the girl would say anything. Then I started reading ingredients from my book, all of those ingredients were for a human body.
"All these ingredients down to a T, can be bought on an allowance." So I stood from my place and walked up to a strange look statue as she glared at me.
"Even on the most cheapest dollar one can make a human." She glared harder at me as I tried to talk some sense into her but Al got shot and his head rolled. I got his head and threw it to his other half, which was standing, he caught it and put his head back on while Rose screamed and ran. Go figure people would be scared of a hollow shell, erm anyway we met up with her again, Big mistake! Father Cornello was there with her, and well to say the least a lion/crocodile chimera attacked me as the Father laughed in all his evil glory. I had a staff in hand now as it attacked me knocking the staff out of my hands. Though that was short lived as I stood thereafter the cat had pounced and nibbled on my metal arm.
"Is that good kitty?" I asked whipping the cat around like a rag doll and slamming it into the ground. The father snorted sat me taking the parrot off his shoulder and having it turn into a larger version with sharp talons and beak. That one was short lived as well when it tried to take my leg off and got it's talons broken off. Father Cornello and I exchanged words before he turned his walking cane into a gun shooting at Al and me. With a quick escape in mind I made a door for us both and we were out of there for now.
A few hours later though I was chained to a wall for being me, Father Cornello was talking while Al had rigged up something outside for me; thus it began to expose Cornello.
I goaded him to speak; as he explained his misconceptions about using the people for money I ate my bread getting his attention. I grinned like a cat while moving out of the way of a microphone, which was on! Ha take that you rat! So it was I chased him around for some time before we ended up outside and he told the people something about the Sun God loving them. He made a statue of the God move.
I got angry at him for using the Philosopher Stone for his own gain and slammed my hands down on the cement church.
"This is the real Hammer of God!" I yelled at him as the largest statue of the Sun God came out of the church standing and making a fist slamming it at Father Cornello who in my opinion probably peed his pants as the fist stopped in front of his face. In the end Father Cornello was exposed and the people had to rely on themselves for their own lives.
Well now that that's over, I have to tell you about my dreams they've gotten really weird lately and yet I don't hate it.
Okay here we go, it's a dream were I'm trapped in darkness and after I suffer all my pain and agony an orange light saves me. Damnit it's not my brother nor is it my father, it's Mustang for crips sakes, but since in my dreams I feel like my life is coming to an end I let him hug me.
The dream goes further, and usually when it dose I'm mumbling in my sleep and sometimes moaning out his name. Good God we have sex in my dream, we go all the way and it's been like this ever since I saw him at Auntie Pinako's house looking at me in my bed. sigh yeah well we do it and after that we snuggle. It was a good thing Al didn't hear me like this, this time and I really need to hide my journal so he can't read it so that's why I put it in my red coats inner pocket.
Embracing yes, do I regret ever having the dream no and I have never regretted seeing Mustang either. So much so he makes fun of my height, don't know why but he dose. It fazes me yes but not as hard as people think. Okay so I think Roy Mustang is an obsidian God with charcoal colored eyes that flash dangerously as if to burn someone, does that help any? My mind is always filled with him, and when I go on mission's hell I'll daydream about him and his cocky grin at being right. I'm going now, at least I know he wont read this it's a hundred to one chance he would find this and read it; hell it's probably still in my red coat pocket.
Later Journal, it's really late in the dorms and Al's already asleep.
Roy blinked at the random entry; he thinks I'm an Obsidian God? Oh yes he wore his traditional smirk he give a chuckle. Tucking the book away for future reading he put it in his tableside and locked the drawer. Turning over for sleep he clapped and the light went off, he would have so much fun tormenting the boy over his infatuation over him, but yet as he lay there the boys words haunted him as he could felt his own emotions swirling like a whirlpool to find if he did like Ed. He was thinking of the boy earlier and many times he had thought about while doing paper work. His hand messaged the temples in a calming way so he could sleep yet it didn't come so easily as it did before he knew Ed liked him. Who knew this boy would do this to him, he sighed looking at the picture of Ed, yes he had a few pictures of the boy and this one was from his last birthday. He was wearing his regular outfit while smiling with a cake in front of him, Mea's wife and daughter where there in the back round laughing with Winry and Pinako. And where was he in the picture? No were to be found because of paper work, flopping a arm over his eyes he sighed rolling over and trying to go to sleep on his side. His pillow was soft to touch as he began tracing the edges of it, closing his eyes he tried for sleep once again, this time he did get to sleep but with dreams of our favorite chibi blonde in mind.
Well did you like it, did you not? Voice your comcerns on this and the grammical mistakes as well, just no flames please because they be used when Roy snaps at you! - cackles - Later! o
