Sakura: WHAT THE HELL IS YOU'RE PROBLEM! I WAS IN HAPPY LAND!
Scar: They need you to do the disclaimer.
Sakura: You….dragged me away, from my love, TO DO A DISCLAIMER?
Scar: Yes.
Sakura: Sighs Fullmetal Alchemist and all related characters, locations, and objects are not owned by either of the fan fiction authors.
Erin and Amanda: We'll just….hide over there. You guys, keep reading!
"Ok, now what do you want?" She asked, crossing her arms over her chest. "And it had better be a good reason, cause you dragged me away from sleep Envy."
"I need to know what became of the Stone that was created witin you," Scar asked secretly as he took of his sunglasses. Sakura started to recall what had happened, but the location of the Stone was one thing that wouldn't come back to easily to her, all the memories surrounding it where filled with pain and sorrow.
"I'm sorry...I don't know where it is," Sakura said somberly as she cast her eyes down to the floor. Scar wasn't sure whether to believe her or not when he had an idea. He held his right arm out, reaching for her. Her eyes widened as the symbols glowed. He lowered his arm.
"I now know where the stone is. It's inside you." She blinked, growing weary.
"What are you going to do? Why do you want the stone?"
Scar reached for Sakura once more, but the pain that coursed through his arm was enough to make him stop as Sakura became overwhelmed with the pain of the crimson stone flaring up with inside her body. "Why do you seek the Stone?" Sakura asked, "It is said that Ishbalans banned the study of Alchemy because of the beliefs of their god Ishbala, why are you different?" Scar didn't know how to answer Sakura, but time was of the essence and he had to tell her.
"I seek to destroy the stone, and destroy Alchemy itself. I must destroy in order to create." He stated. She gave a sort of sad smile.
"I created the stone. But I didn't use Alchemy. My body made it. I'm still not sure how it did it myself." She looked him straight in the eye, "In other words, unless you kill me, then there's no garauntee that another stone won't be created."
Scar couldn't understand the complexity of what Sakura was saying, if he killed the girl, then his job of destroying the Stone was fulfilled, but killing an innocent girl just didn't seem like him, minus the numerous soldiers and guards that got in his way, but he had one success on his mission from God, as he called it, he had succeeded in killing the most evil State Alchemist that thought the stone was meant as a great tool of war. He had wished to use for himself, the man was, Brigadier General Basque Gran. "What do I do, kill the girl or let her live in order for the stone to be created and be used by evil?" Scar pondered as he tried to piece together a plan.
"It's hard, isn't it?" She said softly, staring at the ground, "whether to kill or not. I…I've never been able to kill, even when I was ordered to. Sometimes…I…want to die. But…then I don't. What's right and wrong in this?" She looked up at him, looking like a lost child. "I'm not sure I know what's right and wrong anymore. The only thing I know is that the one I love…" she looked away from Scar, "is so different from me. But I still love him. I want to use the stone."
Scar could see in Sakura's eyes the hurt she was feeling as she gave him his options, but he saw the same longing gaze as his brother once had, when his brother had long to do what was right by their people's teachings or to forgo all that he knew and had been taught since he was child to pursue his love. "I understand your desire to create the stone." Sakura was stunned as she looked up and saw the pain in Scar's eyes."My brother had lost the only thing precious to him and in order to gain what he wanted...he pushed the limits of our people's beliefs and disobeyed all he had been taught, in order to gain the stone to bring back a love he had lost."
"…Lust…" She whispered the name softly, eliciting no reaction from the Ishbalan near her. She sighed, "Except, the difference is that I want him to choose whether he wants to become human or not."
"Why should such a creature as this woman and the others around have a choice whether they should be human or not?" Scar asked as he stared quizzically at Sakura. Sakura couldn't answer that to him in a single answer, but answered him in a way that Ed had referred to a former prisoner of Lab 5.
"They are still human in one way, shape, or form," Sakura said with a sullen tone as she started to walk back towards the bathroom window.
"Wait," Scar called out.
"Goodbye sir," Sakura said as she scaled the wall and crawled back through the window into the bathroom.
"Still human in some way." Scar said to himself as he walked back towards the darkened apartment that he was sharing at the moment with the doctor.
Sakura laid down next to Envy once more, "Besides, you have a life and I don't know what would happen to it if I did what I want to." She whispered to Envy as she snuggled into him, not knowing that he was awake as she drifted into her dreams.
