Chapter 3: The Devil's Nest and The Chimeras

Martel's P.O.V

sigh Roah and Dorchette are going to be in SO MUCH trouble when Greed gets back. Am I the only responsible one here?

Normal P.O.V

"It's all your fault!" Roah yelled at Dorchette.

"My fault, my FAULT! You're the one who put the hole in the wall and you're saying it's my fault!" Dorchette screamed back.

"Well you chopped the sofa in half with your oh so dangerous katana!" Roah said in a scarcastic tone.

"Well, you broke the piggy bank that Martel gave to me for my birthday into pieces!"

"Well, you nicked the money in mine."

"Like you didn't from mine."

"Uhh" Roah scratched his head, "Good point."

Martel sighed and placed a hand on her head.

"Men," she mumbled.

They heard the door slam.

"Oh, crud" Roah and Dorchette said together.

"They're so busted" snickered Martel but what she saw next made her face fall.

The room was quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The three chimeras stared at their leader; Greed.

He was carrying a girl who was bleeding and looked horribly beaten up.

"Greed what happened," Dorchette said breaking the silence, "who's the gir..."

"Questions later, Dorchette get the first aid kit, Roah set up the sofa for her, Martel get some blankets" Greed interrupted, "and before you do anything tell me," he said slowly with an anime vein growing... "WHAT THE BLOODY HELL HAPPENED HERE!" he shouted.

"UH…"Roah said.

Dorchette then blurted out the first thing on his mind "As you said questions later! We gotta help this girl."

"Fine, but I'll be expecting an answer from you two later." Greed responded.

The three then headed off to do as they were told.

When Dorchette came back with the first-aid kit, Greed set Alkira on the sofa and started to tend to the wound on her forehead.

"Let me do that Greed," Martel said quietly while looking at the girl." now you three out!"

The three guys then went out to the room next door.

Once they made sure that the door was closed Dorchette asked "So what happened to her?"

"I dunno," Greed said while shrugging, "I just found her on the road like that."

"Boss, do you even know her name?" Roah enquired.

"Yeah, I got her name; she said it's Alkira Satsuki."

"The Resurrecting Alchemist." Dorchette mumbled.

"Huh?" Greed said, "You know something about the girl Dorchette?"

"Well, I heard a little bit about her from that slime bucket Kimbly before he betrayed us."

Dorchette said and continued, "She's known as the Resurrecting Alchemist as I said. She was one of the best alchemists of the military, but rumours said that she was not willing to become one but did it to promise someone, a relative of some sort. She was named the Resurrecting Alchemist because of her third test to become a state alchemist. Kimbly said that one of the other alchemist that was testing made a stone column. Unfortunately it was unstable and it fell down on top of her, she didn't do anything to stop it, she just stood there. When it fell they waited for the dust to clear and when it did she just stodd there at the same spot. Somehow they thought she used alchemy to survive it. No one knows how she did it. She survived while someone else would have died. She survived and was chosen to be an alchemist and that's all I know." Dorchette ended.

"Wait, what do you mean 'was one of the best'?" Roah asked filled with curiosity.

"Apparently she vanished three years ago," Dorchette answered, "never to be seen again."

"Until today?" Roah said.

"I guess so if she is who she says she is." Dorchette answered.

Silence filled the room.

Martel then came in with a frown on her face.

"Is she gona pull through?" Greed asked.

"She will but she's in really bad condition. She had two broken ribs, a wound to the forehead and ankle. Guess what else I found."

"What?" Dorchette asked.

"Whip Marks, every where.But she'll be fine after a lot of rest."

Martel thinking it was late sugested,"We also better rest now, tomorrow's gonna be a hard day."

They all agreed except one.

"I'll go to sleep later guys, I just need to check on our guest." Greed said and grinned while making a thumbs up sign.

"Suit yourself." Dorchette said.

With our three chimeras

"Looks like Greed has a cru-ush." Martel whispered to the other two.

Roah and Dorchette started snickering.

"Well at least the boss might finally stick to one girl." Roah said.

"Yeah," Dorchette agreed, "but I would have prefered that girl for myself."

Suddenly a mallet came to Dorchette's head.

"OW! What was that for!"he cursed while touching the lump on his head that was left by the mallet.

"Serves you right," Martel hissed "This might be the one girl he likes Dorchette don't ruin it for him."

"You're just saying that cause you want the boss to be happy and not me!"

WHACK

"OW!"

Roah then thought as he saw the two argue "Ow x 2 two lumps on head, Hate+Hate Love."

He then smiled and then said in a loud voice "Do you to love each other or something cause the love equation is hate and hate equals to LOVE!"

"OW!"

"Serves you right!" Martel and Dorchette said in unison.

"That really hurt." Roah said while rubbing the two lumps on his head.

It had seemed that Martel and Dorchette both punched him on the noggin.

To annoy the two even more Roah started singing "Martel and Dorchette sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G..."

The three chimeras continued argueing on their way to bed.

Meanwhile with Greed

Once Greed was sure they were gone he walked next to the sofa and crouched down.

"Well since no one's around." He thought.

He moved a strand of hair away from her face and started stroking it."Goodnight Alkira." He said softly to her.

Again with no reply.

Greed stood up and waled to the door, he was about to open it until…

"Goodnight Greed-kun." Alkira said.

Greed smirked and went away to his room.

Alkira: I'll try to update but it'll take a while. I've been travelling round the world.
