Welcome back to It's Only Lust! This time, we couldn't kidnap a military personnel (They amped up their security for some reason). But don't despair! We did manage to capture a very HOT homunculus.
Envy: Hey! Untie me!
Erin: Rushes over and sits in Envy's lap, snuggling his neck Now why would we do that? She is in Lalaland
Envy: Because I said so?
Amanda: No way. You know the drill.
Envy: Hangs head Fullmetal Alchemist and all related characters, locations, and objects are not owned by either of the fan fiction authors. Happy?
Erin: NYAAA! ENBI-KUN! Snuggles more
The next morning, the Ishbalan camp seemed more lively than Sakura had ever seen it. Of course, part of that was because she had gotten absolutely no sleep. Questions had plagued her mind so much during the remainder of the night.
Why the hell was he staring at me when I woke up? I didn't notice any weapons formed, so it couldn't have been to kill me. He wasn't looking through any of my documents, so it wasn't information……WHY THE HELL DID I STRADLE HIM?
"Ms. Takahashi, Ms. Takahashi!" Called the little boy from yesterday, waving his hands at the young girl frantically. "That man is back today!" Sakura grinned at the boy taking her hand.
"Then shall we go see him?" The boy nodded and they walked to Envy's tent.
Sakura followed the young boy and as she walked through the camp she looked up to a corner of the camp where a small group of men were burying what looked two people that had fallen to the hand of death. There was much mourning over in that part of the camp, but as she moved through the camp she noticed that men were preparing to kill something or someone as they held weapons in their hands.
Sakura pondered the questions that were swarming now in her mind and she overheard the conversations of the Ishbalans as they were excited about the possibility of being able to destroy the State Military and get back at those that harmed them and nearly annihilated them during the Rebellion. "My friends , I am sad to report that it seems that Military officials have found out the location of our camp and two of our fellow Ishbalans have been murdered due to who they were! We will not tolerate this!" the man shouted. There were cries of "yes" and "yes, these Dogs of the Military will learn to roll over and play dead, permanently."
More like you killed them, Envy Sakura thought as she and the boy waded through the crowd until they were spotted by the Ishbalan in disguise.
Sakura watched the seeing eyes of the Ishbalan in disguise and those eyes burned into her soul like burning coals as she walked through the crowd and came forward to speak with the man in front of the other Ishbalans.
"Well? Are we going?" She asked him. He raised an eyebrow in question. "I know you were planning on following me, Mr. Thompson. You might as well come with me." She grinned at him and he smirked in return.
Mr. Thompson got off his rock and told his followers that he would back, but the people were afraid of something happening to their friend. Sakura moved behind her tent and as Mr. Thompson came around the corner, he was met by a pistol to his face with Lt. Sakura pointing it at his face. "You really think that will scare me?" Envy mocked as he shed his human disguise.
She lowered the weapon. "Not really. Daisuke isn't afraid of it either." She shrugged, holstering it again as she picked up her bag and slung it over her shoulder, walking away from him as though she were unafraid of the homunculus. She turned and looked over her shoulder and stuck her tongue out at him, "Come on, slowpoke!"
Envy had no idea what to say about the girl as she called out to him, but he knew he couldn't let her go so easily now that she knew the truth about him, but something about the girl brought a feeling of belonging of the girl, but he blew it off as he watched Sakura walking away and he put on the human disguise and walked back to his perch and continued to preach his beliefs against the Military and those in connection with them especially the "Fullmetal Alchemist".
She turned, fully expecting to see Envy behind her, but blinked when she didn't see him. She shrugged again, turning away from the camp to walk forward and off the mountains. I'm really amazed that he didn't say anything about Daisuke…I mean, Greed… Her eyes turned dark as she though of her brother, her mother, all the people she loved were gone. Now all she had were Maes, Roy and Riza. Of course, if she had anything to say about it, the Col. and the 2nd Lt. would become Mr. and Mrs. Roy Mustang if it was the last thing she'd do. With that thought in mind, she walked on into the continually rising sun.
"I really think that Envy will come around and I will find my brother, Daisuke, if it's the last thing I do...even if it costs me my job with the military," Sakura said as the sun started to set behind her as she walked in the direction of the nearest town that was only 100 miles from the Ishbalan camp.
As Sakura reached the bottom of the mountain, Envy appeared in front of her. She continued on as if she hadn't seen him, stunning him until he heard her speak.
"It's about time you got here, slowpoke." He could practically hear her smirk in her voice.
Envy was unphased by the comment that he had heard from Sakura, "Don't think that I won't be watching you every step of the way," Envy said as he walked on ahead of Sakura dressed as the man Mr. Thompson.
"What about the Ishbalans you were leading to war against the Military?" Sakura asked as she walked behind Envy.
"They'll survive, you humans have found a way to survive through years of evolution, but yet you had failed to find a way to survive immense heat and many other things that make you humans weak," Envy said mockingly.
She raised an eyebrow, "And homunculi don't have their weak points? Such as not remembering who they were so that they are completely open to their enemies?" She looked over at him, striding next to him, "That's what happened to Daisuke, you know. One of the old gang members who used to hate him tried to kill him again."
Envy just kept staring forward as he ignored Sakura's ramblings, but as he heard the tone of nuisance in her voice, he couldn't keep quiet anymore as he turned around and shouted at the annoying Lieutenant, "For a human, you tend to talk to a lot! Can you for once shut up and not talk about yourself or this brother you say is like myself!" Envy said as huffed off and picked up speed with Sakura striding behind.
She smiled, raising an eyebrow. "So...You don't know where Greed is?"
"If I knew that he was back, then I would have sensed him by now, other Homunculi tend to know when their own are out doing something stupid and trying to keep their identity hidden from you humans," Envy said as he started to slow down as they neared the nearest town and the sound of a train whistle blew in the distance.
She blinked, confused. Then she shook her head. "Besides, I only talk cause you won't!" She pouted, slowing down behind him. Her sword swung by her side, gun strapped to her right thigh on the outside, right hand twitching as if prepared to pull the gun on the Homunculus before her, but secretly, she didn't want to. After all, this might be the best lead available to lead her to her brother. If she could save him, she could save the other Homunculi as well. And maybe, just maybe... She stopped in her tracks. Maybe then I can finally begin to have a family again.
Sakura holstered her pistol and stared at the back of the head of the Homunculi, but deep down she knew that not only did she want to have her family back together, she was starting to feel a sense of want, the want to be different from everyone else. She was feeling sick to her stomach everytime that Envy referred to her as "human" she wanted to know the feeling of never dying, or being sick and the many other pleasures the Homunculi held dear. "I will get through your hard shell and you will tell me what I want to know," Sakura said as she followed Envy onto a train car as the train pulled away from the station in the dead of night.
Yay! We have confusion!
