Drabble 21: Greed 1/2

"GREED!" Ed tried screaming the Sin's name again, but ended up choking on the overwhelming clouds of smoke that enveloped everything. Then there were sounds, and the boy hoped it was Greed, but no, those were the sounds of Roah's boots slamming the ground.

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!" Ed winced, never hearing the large chimera so loud before.

"I was doing an alchemy experiment, and Greed just ran in here, chasing a cat--"

Immediately there was a resounding MEOW! and it struck Ed that he had no clue where the feline had come from, but then he thought of Al, and then everything made sense.

"GREED!" Ed was now scrambling through the smoke, his hands clawing for any part of the Homunculus, and the boy had completely forgotten Roah--there! The elder Elric had touched Greed, but his form was limp, undoubtedly unconscious; the boy began dragging him toward the door, and soon he remembered Roah, for the large chimera had moved forward and just plucked the Homunculus from his arms, carrying him out as if he wasn't an Ultimate Shield. Running after them and slamming the basement door shut, mentally cursing the cat and leaving it inside for a bit of perhaps misguided punishment, Ed began to gawk. Then he promptly fainted, crumpling into a heap.

"We heard screaming--"

"Is Greed in trouble--"

"What's going on--"

All of Martel's and Dorchet's and Al's voices mingled with each other when they arrived on the scene, but then died off; Roah had been silent longer than them, his eyes still glued to his master, who had--but it was impossible...

Yet it happened. The Homunculus was...well, he looked more like a 'she' now.

It was clear that the Sin was still Greed, evident by the clothes and the glasses and the Ouroborus mark and the hair color and probably the violet eyes too, if they weren't closed at the moment. But the body...Greed's chest wasn't flat at all, everything about him looked more lithe and slim, the hair wasn't upright and spiky, but pouring down in shoulder-length curtains...which were actually still a little spiked. The expression was very similar too, very Greed-like, all calm and amolst child-like in the peace--it was just set in a woman's face.

A silence passed in which crickets chirped, and like a wind-up toy, Ed sprang up, wide-awake, jumping back quite a few feet into the air once realizing he hadn't been dreaming, the Homunculus was a girl...

"ED!" Martel slapped the boy's gloved hand away from the Sin's breast, and for the life of him, Ed couldn't recall ever commanding his body to do that.

...The Homunculus was a hot girl indeed, to actually activate the Fullmetal's hormones in such a profound way.

A/N: Inspired by Ranma 1/2, interest in Greed feminized, and general interest in doing a gender-bender story; keep an eye out for its continuation...which won't be in the next drabble, sorry; but eventually!
