Sakura: I don't respond to threats or take them literally, but i'll do it this time...
Roy: What, what did you say?
Sakura: Nothing Roy, just worry about getting better.
Ed: Man, first it was the Colonel, then Sakura, Tomoyo now Riza is down for the count...
Al: I'll do it this time
Amanda: Thanks Al
Al: Fullmetal Alchemist and all related characters, locations, and objects are not owned by either of the fan fiction authors...sigh Well these guys ever stay on their feet for five seconds...
Erin: sigh Sorry Al, but no such possibility of that. Read on Folks, that's all I can say
Before they left, Scar leaned down to Sakura, "Unless you want these people to become involved, meet me near the abandoned mines later tonight." He whispered. She nodded sharply, before helping the Col. try to regain some of his lost dignity.
"Sir, I suggest you get back to your room and regain your dignity back there before Lieut---" Sakura started to say, but it was too late as Riza walked into the room and noticed the chaos that had occurred.
"Riza, it's not what you think!" Roy started to say, but it was too late as Riza fainted to the floor in a heap.
"Can this day get any crazier?" Al asked as he noticed the mess in the hall and the many peering eyes of the other hospital guests.
"Nothing to see here!" Just go about your lives," Ed said as he nervously waved at everyone to go about their business.
Roy managed to pick Riza up in his arms, despite everyone else telling him that he probably shouldn't do that. He carried her to his room and then settled her into his bed before crawling in himself. He pulled her close to him, uncaring of the eyes that were watching. Sakura shooed everyone else out of the room to leave the two senior officers alone.
Tomoyo wouldn't leave Havoc's arms, even while they sat in the hospital cafe and ate lunch together, he would feed her then and then she would do the same for him; the Elrics stood outside and watched over the hospital in case Hohenheim or the other Homunculus decided to make a move on Sakura. Roy enjoyed his dreams as he held Riza closer and closer to his chest, but the minute, one of his hands "accidentially" slipped on top of one of her breasts...the dream was turned into a nightmare as Riza's screams and slaps and punches could be heard down the halls to the lunch cafe and outside.
Sakura shook her head. Her Roy-kun was such a hentai! She felt two slim arms slide around her and she smiled lazily, leaning back into the thin chest.
"Hey, I missed you." She said softly, enjoying the feel of his arms around her.
"I miss you too...and I never want to lose you again," Envy said as he tightened his loving embrace around Sakura, but their attention was soon drawn to Riza punching the living daylights out of Roy as he attempted to stop the punishment. There was no stopping Riza, but every time she hit him, it was setting off the Nurse "call button" once more; a nurse came into the room and found Riza trying to strangle the Colonel.
"Miss, we have a policy again----" the Nurse tried to say as Riza glared evilly at the Nurse.
"CAN I HAVE ONE MOMENT ALONE WITH HIM WITHOUT SOMEONE INTERVENING!" Riza shouted as she continued to glare, but Roy continued to turn blue as Riza's grip tightened.
The nurse pointed to the injured patient and Riza realized what she had been doing to poor Mustang. She instantly let go and got up, leaving the room.
"When he comes around...um, come find me...I need to leaver for awhile," Riza said as she left the room in utter shame and was turning beet red and brighter as she closed the door slowly behind her.
The nurse shook her head as Riza left, "Crazy wives." She muttered as she checked up on the Col.'s health. Sakura and Envy shook with laughter, wondering what Riza's reaction would have been if she had heard that phrase.
Meanwhile, in an apartment room, the doctor and Scar were sitting quietly. Unable to take the silence anymore, the doctor dared to ask Scar about something that had been plaguing him about the girl.
"May I ask what you're interest with the girl is about?" the Doctor asked nervously as he watched Scar's eyes shift back towards the Doctor.
"It is nothing of your concern Doctor...whatever interest I hold for the girl is of my own knowledge and no one else's," Scar said as he diverted his eyes towards the floor and remained silent the rest of the day.
Later that night, Sakura slipped out of her room, and silently made her way to the meeting place with Scar, unaware of the pairs of eyes that watched her every move.
She saw Scar waiting for her and stopped feet from him.
"Ok, what do you want with me?" She asked, wondering what the hell had gone wrong in the world. A few days ago, no one wanted anything to do with her that was important in any way, and now she had people who were kiddnapping her and threatening her for no apparent reason!
"I know that you have recently created the "true" Philosopher's Stone," Scar said as he hid in the darkness of the darkened streets.
"So what if I have, what does it matter to you Ishbalan?" Sakura asked as she studied Scar's movements. Scar was taken back by Sakura's knowledge of knowing what he was, but it didn't make sense to him; she was an Iscariot and he was Ishbalan...how did she know he was an Ishbalan?
"How…did you know that?" She blinked.
"How did I know what? That you were Ishbalan?" He nodded, "I'm not sure. I just knew." She looked at the ground, kicking the dirt. "Can I see them?"
"See what?"
"You're eyes."
Scar was hestitant to reveal his crimson red eyes to Sakura, but as he stared at her through his dark sunglasses, he could tell that she wanted to see...they were no different from each other; they were both cursed people. Both of their races had been nearly wiped out due to what they were, but strangely enough, they were different.
"Yes, you may see my eyes," Scar said as he removed his sunglasses slowly as his crimson red irises stared at her.
She stared intently at them for a moment, then smiled widely. "They're beautiful." She stated simply, almost childlike, full of wonder and innocence. She closed her eyes, smiling widely, "I don't see why anyone would hate those eyes like they do."
Scar was taken back by Sakura's comment, but he couldn't brush it off as he remembered the times of the Rebellion when many of the most State Alchemists like Zolf Kimblee, the Crimson Alchemist and Basque Gran, the Iron Blood Alchemist took pleasure in annihilating the Ishbalans. Scar replaced his sunglasses to his face and turned away from Sakura.
"You wouldn't understand, we are the same in one way or another, but yet, we are still different...my brother tried to create the stone, but yet, you can create the Stone...I'm sorry to have inconvienced you in anyway," Scar said as he turned away and walked back to the apartment.
Sakura stared at his back as he walked away, staring at the ground. The eyes watched intentsly as she sat down on the ground, wrapped her arms around her legs and plopped her head upon the her forearms. "You're right Scar, we are different. You know your people's history, everything there is to know about being an Ishbalan. And what you don't know, you can ask other Ishbalans. I don't know anything about the Iscariots, and there isn't anyone I can ask either. Except…." Her eyes hardened, "No. I'll die before I ask HIM."
