It had been a couple of months since she had met Envy. It kind of made Yumi self conscious over meeting newer people because she knew that they could possibly be Envy in a disguise. You see, his special ability was that he could shape shift into anyone in the world.

Greed had been coming by recently and chatting with her and it wasn't long before she decided to request that he give her lessons in fighting. After much pleading a persuasion he had reluctantly agreed.

She was currently just outside the bar squaring off against Roa. He swung his hammer at her and she ducked just in time. He swung downwards and she managed to placed one hand on the ground and do a backflip before a large spark of blue electricity appeared where his hammer landed in the ground.

A big firm cement covered hand had a firm hold on the hammer. Yumi slammed her hands onto the ground before she slowly moved her hands up to grasp the handle of a purely metal sword. She jumped over his back before spinning round' to face him just as he got his hammer free.

She just barely dodged the swing of the hammer before she did a quick triple side ways flip and landed on her feet. Slow clapping could be heard and Yumi sighed. "Do you have to act so sarcastic all the time?" She complained.

He laughed. "Now why would I want to?" He retorted causing her to facepalm.

I still have too long a life ahead to get rid of these feelings, right?
I want to try doing over all the things I've left undone.
I thought I was running after something carried over from my dreams,
Yet I'm stumbling into people on this narrow, winding road.
It's not like I want things to go back to the way things were back then,

I'm just searching for the sky I've been losing,
Here's hoping you'll understand,
Stop making that sad face as though you were a victim,

Sins don't end with tears, you have to carry the pain forever,
Who am I waiting for, in this maze of emotions with no way out in sight?
I want to purge myself more simply, as if writing in a blank notebook,
What is it i want to escape from?

...Is it reality?

It makes me want to scream that we're alive for things to come true. Can you hear me?
I can't put up with playing it safe...I've got nowhere to go home to,
I'm always grateful for kindness,
That's why I want to grow stronger,

( I'm on the way)
I even welcome this pain,
For the things I miss.

Yumi slowly walked down one of the many halls of the Devils Nest when she was pulled into another room by Greed. "Hello Doll Face." She couldn't help but smile at his antics.

"Hey there." She greeted with a little wave.

"Where are you wandering off to?" He asked as he put one hand on his hip.

"Nowhere in particular. Just wandering." She responded as she put her hands under her head and leaned against the nearby wall. It was then that she felt a hand on her waist. She didn't really mind too much. In the past couple of months she had come to terms with her growing feelings for him. And it was obvious that he knew about them too.

He slowly pecked her on the lips causing her to blink dumbfoundedly at him. He laughed at the look on her face before twirling her around so that he was standing in front of her with her back pressed against the wall. She chuckled awkwardly before he cupped her face in his hands and slowly kissed her on the lips causing her to blush lightly.

Her blush darkened as he slowly slipped his tongue into her mouth, a action that with a little bit of hesitation she returned. The make out session soon ended when there was a knock on the door.

"Hey, boss? You in there?"

"I'll be right out." Greed called out before pecking her lightly on the head and slowly making his way out of the room.

She narrowed her eyes at the homunculus before charging forward only for him to easily grab her face in his hand and throw her down to the ground. She groaned as she slowly sat up, this had been going on for a couple of hours now, ever since she had asked to fight him.

"Face it, Doll, you just can't win!" Greed said with a smirk.

"Maybe. Maybe not. Doesn't change the fact that I can still try and perhaps even enhance my instincts and reflexes." She said as she slowly go to her feet and charged forwards. He sung forward to punch her but she did a front flip into the air, turning in mid air like a cat and landing on his shoulders with her legs wrapped around his neck. She flicked her legs to teh side swiftly and took him to the ground with her.

He laughed as he slowly sat up. Her eyes narrowed slightly and she did a back flip, landing on her fingers for a second before she pushed off from them and landed on her feet a couple feet away.

"You're really making me break one of my rules hear, kid." He complained as he scratched the back of his head.

"Really? And what rule is that?" She questioned with one hand on her hip.

"I make it a rule of mine not to fight women." He said with a casual shrug.

"And why is that?" She questioned.

He shrugged. "Who knows." He said with a smirk her way. "Don't you think that's enough practice for one day? Hmm...?" He suggested with a smirk causing her to glare at him.

She stomped past him with her hand tucked under her head as she walked.

Hey, do you remember the scarlet sky, the sky we saw on that day?
Making a promise, the early summer wind enveloped us; the two of us came closer together

Behind a forced smile, I harbor a grown shadow
So I pretend to not notice it and choose rebirth

I keep waiting for a notification that won't tremble on the table
And I knew about everything, the blank nights and the mornings that shouldn't come, too

Hey, I wonder if you did forget about the scarlet sky, the sky we saw on that day
The promise tore apart and vanished into the early summer wind; the two of us can't go back

In this room where sounds, colors, and temperatures are cut in half
After I mess it up today, too, I stagger, grow tired, and fall asleep

"Deceive me well, okay? I hate yet love lies" were your words
Nowadays, given how much those feelings hurt, we bid goodbye

We waved at each other, saying, "See you again someday," but we won't meet anymore, right?
The final lie was a tender lie; I won't forget about it

Hey, someday, will you recall the scarlet sky, the sky we saw on that day?
Embracing the promise we couldn't keep, the two of us start walking.

The next chapter will be the one we've all been waiting for. When we actually get back into the story line. :) I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
