(smiles) Thanks so much Panic, really, it means a lot to see how you guys care for little ol' me ^^ haha Thanks (blush) well, I guess it's just my way, people often make fun of me because I don't care if people are me are "black", "white" or from different countries, religions...etc. if they are nice to me, I'll be nicer to them tenfold! ;)

Guest: Hi there, uh, yeah, I'm sorry if you don't like my fic, really. I understand people have different opinions on things and that not everyone likes my stories, I get that, though I would have appreciated it more if you would have told that to me in a more...civil manner. I don't wanna come off as rude but I'll tell you what many other authors before me write on their own fics: don't like, PLEASE don't read. I accept every and any reviews and opinions for my stories and try to improve with each one but what I don't appreciate is people reading someone's story and demeaning it to "utter bull" without any explanation "why". I'm a tough enough nut to crack to not take your words too much to heart, but don't pull those stuns on other authors who work hard on their stories and writing alright? There's nothing more I hate to see than authors whose dreams got crushed because of some spoiled brats running their mouths full. Thanks for your reviews.

Info on chapter: This is the chapter where Greed meets Lena!

That Woman...

"So, I assume you're the girl that knows Alkahestry huh? Didn't imagine you as such a small fry," Greed commented, effortlessly hefting the squirming Mei over his shoulder.

"H-hey! Let me go! I demand you let me go! I have to go somewhere!" she pounded her little fists against his hard back but it didn't faze him in the least. Xiao Mei even tried biting him, but he had covered himself in his ultimate shield in time.

Damn it.

Greed chuckled, "Sorry there little lady, but orders are orders, even if they are from my nasty old man," before the Homunculus could turn around to walk back to the hideout, Greed's keen ears picked up on something.

He felt the air abruptly leave his lungs as a hard kick from his back sent him flying, loosening his grip on the girl and landing face first on the hard cobblestone path painfully.

Greed growled, deep and low in his throat, sensing his anger rising at who dared to pull such a cheap trick on him.

"Alright, listen up you fucking bastard-" before he continued, his voice got caught in his throat when he stood up, his stone healing his injuries from the fall.

He blinked.

"A...woman?" Greed blinked, surprised.

The little girl was hiding behind the woman's back, who stood tall in a battle stance, her eyes narrowed and trained on him.

Greed narrowed his eyes, "Who the hell are you?"

The woman ignored his question, "What are you planning on doing with her? She's just a innocent little girl, let her be," referring to Mei Chang, not knowing who she was.

Greed couldn't help but scan his new opponent from head to toe. She was clad in what appeared to be some sort of black armor, material made of leather or the sort, not too tight on her but just enough so Greed could make out her curves, he released a low whistle.

She donned black and red fingerless gloves, the tips of her hair reaching just below her shoulders in a messy fashion and her eyes flashing at his obvious ogling.

Greed composed himself with a grin, "Sorry, daddy's orders. Now run off and go to your boyfriend, I've got business to do," Greed tried approaching Mei again but the woman stepped in between them, blocking his path with crossed arms.

"Sorry, no can do," she spat, charging at him with a surprisingly fast kick to the side of his head, causing him to crash against a building.

He slowly got up, gripping his face, "What do you say...you've got some tricks up your sleeve," Greed's eyes narrowed dangerously in annoyance, "Sorry, but I don't fight with women,"

The woman chuckled humorlessly, "Oh really? Why? Because you think we are inferior to men who have nothing but wars and power plays on their minds?" She smirked and made her move.

She rushed at the Homunculus again but he kept dodging and parrying her attacks, he countered with a grin, "No, but because I still believe in a thing called 'chivalry'," he jumped back from her kick.

The woman snorted, "Don't make me laugh you hypocrite, you kidnap a innocent girl and try to tell me you're chivalric? You think I'm that dumb do ya?" she rushed forward at him again, slamming her palm against Greed's abdomen and using her alchemy to penetrate his shield.

Greed roared in pain, staggering back on unsteady legs as he held his side, deep breaths escaping his mouth, "Damn, so you're an alchemist are ya? Look, it goes against my code of fighting and hurting women alright? Now scram, I don't wanna break that," Greed attempted to snatch Mei away but the woman, stood in his way with crossed arms, "Make me, Homunculus," she challenged.

Greed suddenly grinned, flexing his wrists, "Feisty one huh, I like that in women. The name's Greed honey, in case you wanna know the name you scream once I'm done with you,"

She smirked, "The name's Lena, darling, in case YOU want to know when you scream in pain," Greed growled when she attacked him, using her fists and legs to throw him off balance.

But Greed dodged all of her attacks, not giving her a chance to touch him, she almost touched him on the stomach again, Greed taunted; "You wanna touch me so bad huh?" infuriated, Lena leaped at him but Greed sidestepped and held her hands behind her back, her palms facing him so she wouldn't be able to hurt him with her alchemy.

"Alright, now be a good girl and let me do my damn job,"

Lena chuckled and barked, "Sorry, I hate it when someone tries to command me. I won't let you touch her," she finished with a serious, lethal air about her.

Greed smirked and whispered in her ear;" Look on the bright side, if I kidnap her, we will see each-other again if you're with the Elrics,"

Lena's eyes widened and she demanded fiercely, "How do you know them?" she tried to pull away but the damned Homunculus had a tight grip on her.

"I know a lot of people," was his simple, short answer.

Suddenly, she was released and she almost fell to her knees before she regained her composure, turning quickly to face her opponent, but she found he was now directly in front of her face.

He smirked, grabbing her hand and kissing the back of it gently, "See ya, Lena," when she attempted to attack him in her rage at how he dared to touch her, he was gone and with him, the little girl.

Lena narrowed her eyes, fishing in her pocket for her phone.

As she called the person answered on the other line, "What is it?"

"We have a problem," Lena answered, "Colonel Mustang,"

I'm sorry it's so short! I promise I will write more about them if you like! :) Thanks for reading everyone!
