Yumi slowly placed her guns safely in their holster before she slipped a tiny dagger into her belt. She quickly placed a grenade inside her boot expertly. She could feel Ed and Al's eyes on her as she slipped her bracelets on her wrists casually and carefully moved her hair over her shoulders, her blue eyes narrowing slightly as she spun around to face Ed and Al.
"Where are you off to? Maybe we're going the same way!" Al exclaimed hopefully.
"Sorry kid, I don't think we are." She commented.
"You're going after Envy, aren't you?" Ed suddenly said.
"Yep. Envy. Wrath. That prick they call 'Father'. I will kill them. Maybe not father, not yet anyway, not until I've practiced more and have more experience dealing with monsters but I am going to find Envy, and kill him." She explained, her blue eyes, once light and playfully, were now dark and cold.
"But, he'll kill you!" Al exclaimed.
"Not if I kill him first." She said with a glare as she stormed past them towards the doors but stopped. She grabbed a dagger off of the nearby table and abruptly used it to cut through her hair. Her long black hair that had once reach down to her knees now only came down to the middle of her back. Ed and Al were watching her like she was a completely different person. She slowly grabbed a nearby ribbon and used it to tie her hair up into a messy ponytail.
"See ya, Edward." She shifted her gaze towards Al. "Alphonse." She said nodding silently to each of them before she stalked out of the building, Shiro trotting after her, walking beside her at her ankles.
Draw me with a picture of a higher place I know
When the color fades to white again is where
I'll go Grey-slated heather
The sky's got my back, might be lost but
I'm moving on
Whatever the weather
Dreams dot the map, when you see them
I'll be gone
Red-light shrouds
Change everyday, but
I'm sure it won't be long I know step by step
I'll fly far beyond the highest clouds
Always be strong
Never be wrong
That was all a front for my heart
Empty as a well
Finally the raindrops fell
Revived the dream and showed me where to start
Outta sight like rays of light and I am on my way
Through the bluest moon and the darkest river
I'll go through it all and never fall astray
Burn the prize into my eyes and let the image play
For no matter where I am, forget the 'yes or no'
When the color fades to white again I'll seize the day.
Yumi was about to board a train outside of central when out of the blue Ling dropped down next to her. "What the fuck do you want?" She snapped.
"Ed and Al told me your plan about finding the Homunculus called Envy. We have a plan too. It seems they mesh." He explained.
"Oh yeah?" She was skeptical as always and slowly sat down on the bench behind her.
"We plan to use this scarred man to lure a homunculus out." Her eyes widened at this and she tapped her chin thoughtfully.
"Okay here's what I'm going to do. You guys will continue as you planned with your little planning shit. If you do manage to get a homunculus where you want it, I will assess and if it is Wrath or Envy I will assist when needed. But as soon as you're done with it, I want first shot at him." She growled out the last part, blue electricity sparking at the tips of her fingers.
Before Ling could answer a loud explosion could be heard. Her head whipped around in time to see a large cloud of dust forming around the middle of the central. Not waiting for his reply she charged towards a building before she hopped up some wooden crates until she was atop the roof. She then ran along the roof, jumping from roof, to roof, to roof until she sat crouched on top of a rather tall building where she could plainly see Ed and Al, fighting some guy with tanned skin.
Along the top of his sunglasses she could just barely make out the tips of a white scar on his face. She sat there and watched them as Winry pointed a gun threateningly at him. Her hands were shaking, whether it was because she was terrified of him or of killing him, that she couldn't say. She narrowed her eyes and froze as she heard wind rushing past her.
'How long have I been sat here?' She questioned herself as she whipped her head around to look at the clock. Her eyes widened. At least a good forty five minutes.
She slowly got to her feet and look to her left to see a big fat blob chasing after a familiar yellow and white clothed prince. A flash of blue caught her attention and she saw an elderly looking man with short black hair and a black eye patch.
"Wrath." She growled out and chased after him at full speed.
She jumped into the air, her teeth bared in a snarl. She dove down, looking like a spinning top as she slammed her hands against the walls of the buildings on either side of her causing the earth to split and lava to spew out from the opening. "Hm. Another problem." Wrath said calmly.
"Yumi, no!" Ling yelled. Over the past couple of weeks, admittedly she had grown quite fond of the idiotic prince. So much so that they had become, dare she say it, friends. He was so much like Greed, greedy as hell, ready to protect his friends whatever the cost, confident in his own abilities, but at the same time he wasn't anything like him. He was selfless sometimes. He wanted nothing more than the happiness of his people, and he would rather die then see any of his friends hurt. He was also dense, a complete idiot, childish, and immature.
"Don't make me blow you away, Ling Yao!" She growled in reply before she dropped lightly to the ground in front of Wrath.
This man was as high up as you could possibly get in the military. He was also not human. He was a homunculus. The very homunculus that killed Greed. She had a score to settle with him too. The only problem was...This man had defeated Greed in a matter of minutes. Before he had died, in all the months she had known him, she had never been able to beat him once. She was now up against the man who beat the first guy she could never beat.
Wrath was fast. He sliced his sword through the air and at her like it was nothing. She gasped for breath as she ducked and dodged. She cried out in pain as she felt his blade cut through the fabric on her arm and cut open an old wound. She was losing blood fast. He quickly spun around and sliced his sword across her face. She cried out in pain and immediately her hand went to her eye.
She was breathing heavily now as she tried to block his attacks. She weakly dropped down to the ground with her hands pressed against the ground causing a wall of earth to appear in front of her. She cried out in pain as his sword simply pierced through her defense and stabbed her right through her shoulder. She gritted her teeth before she pressed her palm against the wall of a building causing steps to form.
She ran up them at full speed. She knew he was following and once she was close enough to the top she jumped into the air and twisted her body around mid-air. She reached into her boot and yanked out the grenade before she locked her teeth in the safety pin and pulled hard on it.
She tossed it down at Bradley before she landed hard on her side. She quickly got to her feet and darted off towards an abandoned cabin. She knew damn well that if Ling had survived and captured a homunculus then Roy and Ed and Al would've all taken it there.
But even so. She was bitter. Wrath. He had killed Greed. And then resorted her to this. Fleeing. Like a coward.
"I'll get you next time, Wrath. Mark my words. Next time, I'll be prepared." She growled out before she darted away again.
Let it all out, let it all out
You don't have to act so brave
The graffiti flower that someone painted on the wall sways
Nobody knows who their real selves are
Losing and finding things in the middle of this long, long road
There are days where we feel alone and we feel like crying, but...
Change these tears and this pain into stars
Turn on the light that will shine on tomorrow
I may lose my way a little
But together, we'll create stardust and search for an eternity that glows so brightly.
I don't know if I'll get chapter thirteen up today. Hmm...Oh yeah, I probably will if I don't make any food until eight. I'll try to get Chapter thirteen up soon, guys. :o)
Review, honk?
