Chapter 9

"Lovino?" Feliciano's golden eyes greeted Lovino as he walked into the room. "No, that isn't your name is it. It's Desire."

That sentence stopped Lovino short. "Wh-what do you mean, Feliciano. My name's Lovino."

"Maybe in this life. But from what I remember, your name was Desire."

Desire could only stare with a mixture of shock, happiness, and anguish.

"Lust?"

Feliciano, Lust, smiled warmly like the smile she would give children when she was a ruler.

"You're back?" Desire couldn't stop the smile slowly appearing on his face on the small tears. "You're really back?"

"Yes. And I have to say, keeping me separated from Wrath the way you did was a very poor choice."

"You know?!"

"Of course I do." Lust smiled. "After all Wrath was the only one who ever made you this protective of me. And you were the only one who could get under his skin like how you did in there."

"All I said was the truth, sister." Desire frowned remembering the sight of seeing the couple's dead bodies. "He was the reason you died."

"No he wasn't." Lust smiled at Desire. "You blame him for my death, but the truth is he was possessed. He didn't realize what he was doing until it was too late."

The glow in the ruler's eyes started to fade.

"I guess it's not my time to wake up yet." Lust laughed. "Be sure to let my reincarnation and Wrath's meet okay, brother?"

"Wait Lust!"

"Who's Lust, Lovino?" Feliciano asked. Lovino's hopeful face fell.

"It's no one, Fratello." Lovino replied. "Now get up. Everyone's waiting for you."

"So, where's Ivan." Alfred asked. "He did say that we were coming here right? He told all of-" He noticed Ludwig. "Hey you're that guy that vanished a while ago right?"

"Yes." Ludwig replied, trying to keep his irritation in check. "And I didn't get kidnapped or whatever reason the media is making up."

"So far it's just kidnapping." Matthew said quietly. Gilbert stared at Matthew as he spoke, but said nothing.

"So Ivan," Alfred turned to the sitting down Russian. "Why'd you call both of us down here? I just asked you if there was any connection between this one," he pointed to Ludwig. "And Arthur's disappearance. And since the guy here said he left on his own, I wan to know what's up."

"Well then," Ivan turned to Ludwig. "Is it alright if I use that book that book you brought with you?"

Wrath nodded. "Go ahead."

"Very well." Ivan addressed the brothers. "You two follow me."

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see."

And that's it! Sorry that this one was short, but I hope you enjoyed. Leave a review on your way out!
