Havoc: Hey, don't start acting like a child just because I FINALLY found someone
Envy: Yeah, with the same I.Q. as you to match
Tomoyo: Hey, what were we talking about...
Riza: Forget it, do the disclaimer Roy
Roy: Fine, Fullmetal Alchemist and all related characters, locations, and objects are not owned by either of the fan fiction authors. TOMOYO, HAVOC HANDS OFF ONE ANOTHER!
Erin and Amanda: Excuse while we settle this dispute, but just enjoy this new chapter.
"Tomoyo and Jean, sitting in a tree," She sang out childishly, much to the embarrassment of the two new lovers.
"SAKURA! Come on, cut it out!" Havoc encircled his arms around Tomoyo's smaller frame as he spoke. The two embraced and forgot the others were in the room with them. Ed got fed up with it and pushed them out the door, shutting it behind them as Roy got up into the chair on his sore bum.
"So Edward, what do you have to say about your latest trip to where Sakura was at?" Roy asked painfully.
"Nothing much, except---" Ed started to say, but Lt. Thompson shook his head 'no' at Ed.
"Nothing happened and there is nothing to report as this time," Ed said as he lied for Envy.
Roy was less then willing to believe Ed's story, but the pain he was feeling was taking over his judgment as he told Ed and the others to leave the room for now and to report the next day. Havoc and Tomoyo never once took their eyes off of each other, but as they prepared to leave with the others, Roy stopped them and motioned for them both to come to his desk.
"Lt. Havoc, you are excused, but young lady I wish to speak with you," Roy said as the gears in his head started to work as he noticed the outfit she was wearing.
"But…Havoc," Tomoyo said as she pleaded with her eyes to make Havoc stay with her.
"I'll be outside waiting for you," Havoc said as Lt. Hawkeye pushed him the rest of the way out of the room.
The room was silent once more as Tomoyo stood in front of Roy's desk as he observed her and he soon figured out a use for young Tomoyo as he saw the weaponry she had on her hips.
"Lt. Hawkeye?" Roy called out to Lt. Hawkeye.
"Yes sir?" Lt. Hawkeye asked as she walked up beside Tomoyo.
"Would you please escort this young lady to the training room, she may of be use to us; she is a type of ninja after all," Roy said as Lt. Hawkeye followed his orders and walked Tomoyo out of the room.
"But, I'm not that good," Tomoyo shouted as Lt. Hawkeye was forced to drag her out of the office.
Havoc looked up to see Lt. Hawkeye dragging Tomoyo out of the office. "Wait, Lt. Hawkeye! Where are you taking her?"
"Training."
"Can I-"
"NO!" Lt. Hawkeye said sternly as she dragged Tomoyo away, leaving a stunned Havoc staring after her.
In the courtyard, Sakura excused herself from the group, saying something about needing to check in on someone. She walked through the outskirts of town until she came upon the ruins of Lab 5. Without hesitation, she walked onto the grounds, lifting up a hidden trapdoor, completely unaware of the pair of purple eyes that followed her.
"So, we met again, sister."
Down in the basement, Sakura ignored the creatures that rushed in to attack her, simply dodging them and walking ahead.
"TUCKER!" She shouted, "I know you're here! Show yourself!"
"No need to yell, Ms. Takahashi." Came Tucker's soft voice. He stepped into the light, looking at her from his upside down point of view, "How may I be of service?"
"I need those Chimera's that we agreed upon shipped to my estate, Tucker. The sooner the better." She responded in a clipped voice.
"I will have them ready within the week, but you will have to be—" Tucker started to say, but Sakura cut him off.
"NO! I NEED THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! NO EXCUSES!" Sakura said as she pulled the half human/half chimera in close to her face.
Out of the shadows, Greed came forth with a tone of voice that made Sakura turn around and face her former brother.
"Don't take it out on the good old Mr. Shou Tucker, he's working as hard as he can and you asking for your precious ingredients further in advance isn't something you are known for," Greed said as he moved through the shadows towards Sakura.
"I can care less about what you think, the Daisuke I knew would never try and kill me by his own hands," Sakura said with the fire of anger and hatred as she stared coldly at Greed.
All Greed could do to stop from laughing at Sakura's expression was turn away from her and laugh into the shadows of the dark recesses of the ruins of Laboratory 5.
"You really expect the Elrics to
help you with your little 'science project'? These chimera's
once had lives of their own, they were full animals once before they
were combined together to create the main ingredient for your
project."
"I know Ed will come through for me, he wants the
stone just as much as I do," Sakura said as she watched him circle
her in the shadows.
"Ms. Takahashi, I miss be getting back to my work and I promise you, the chimera's will be ready soon as possible," Tucker said as he moved back into the darkness, back to his shop of horrors.
"As must I, the others will be getting worried about me if I'm not back to my dorm by nightfall, especially Colonel Mustang," Sakura said as she walked towards the stairway that led to the trapdoor.
"Remember what I told you about the oldest Elric, he may not be willing follow through, but yet again, what alchemist wouldn't pass up the chance to create the stone all men have craved for since it's mere creation," Greed said as he finally vanished into the darkness.
