Yumi finally made her way up the steep hill to the supposedly abandoned cabin. She narrowed her eyes and she heard a rumbling inside. "Yumi, move!" A voice shouted a moment before a big gust of air burst through the side of the house and a gray car, causing them to disappear. Yumi brought her arms up to defend herself as the wind whipped around her and she felt herself falling.

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 groaned out in pain as she sat up in some sort of red liquid. Strawberry smoothie? She scoffed at the thought and narrowed her eyes and she slowly ran her hand through it and brought the water up to her face to sniff at it. Blood? She shuddered and quickly looked around for a solid ground of some sorts. She finally saw part of the cabin and ran over. She pressed her hands against it firmly with a determined look on her face. A big flash of blue light and part of the broken off piece of the cabin was missing and in it placed was a wooden floating canoe type thing. She climbed in almost instantly and swiftly laid down on her back, allowing her mind to wander.

She slowly climbed out of the not so sturdy boat and made her way over to the rest of the house. "Maybe if I try hard enough I might just have enough components to-" She didn't get a chance to finish her sentence because before she could, untold amounts of fire fell down at her. She quickly started around everywhere trying to dodge the balls of fire when a cat landed heavily on her head.

"Ghya!" She exclaimed as she fall down onto her back by the force of the blow and looked at her back to find herself face to face with Shiro. "Jeez, cat. Way to drop in on me."

Shiro meowed in her ear before looking around at all the fire and turning his head to glare at her. "I didn't do it, I swear." She sat before she broke off part of the house and lit it with the fire that was scattered all over the place. "We might as well get walking." She commented as she started to head through the dark, blood water, concern clear on her face.

She had been well on her way out of Central to find stupid Envy when, Ling had to go and convince her to help him. She stopped walking and let out a sigh. "Damn it Ling! This is all your fucking fault you lousy moron!" She yelled.

"What is it with you and Ed not knowing how to talk to a prince!?" He exclaimed as he walked towards her, followed closely by Ed.

"Hmn." She slowly placed her hand on the gun on the right side of her body. "Who are you? Are you Envy, Or Ling Yao?" She challenged.

Ling sighed in annoyance. "Come on, not you too." She narrowed her eyes before shifting her eyes to Ed.

"And what about you?" She questioned.

"Uh I think I can answer that." Ling commented. "For the puny runt."

"DON'T CALL ME LITTLE!" Ed screamed as he attacked Ling furiously, Ling simply blocking easily.

"Alright, I'm convinced." She commented as she started to walk away.

"Where are you going?" Ed asked.

"To find some sort of rock, of wood, or something that will get me out of this blood." She hissed at him in anger. This place...it gave her a bad feeling...like something bad was about to go down but she didn't quite know what.

"I'm starting to wonder if there even is a way out of here." Ed commented to Ling from behind her.

"And if there isn't?"

"Then I'll make one!" Ed exclaimed boastfully causing Yumi to slam the palm of her hand against her face.

"Yeah that'll work."

"Oh I see." She smirked and held up fiver fingers.

"And in, five, four, three, two, annnnnnnnd one." She said and smirked over her shoulder at Ed and Ling who paled.

"Shouldn't it have hit the ground by now?"

"THERE'S GOTTA BE A WALL SOMEWHERE!" Ed yelled as he charged through the cavern. "IF WE KEEP HEADING STRAIGHT WE'RE GONNA MEET THE END! THERE'S GOTTA BE SOME KIND OF EXIT SOMEWHEEEEEEEERE!"

"WELL THERE MOTHERFUCKING ISN'T!" Yumi yelled at him, clearly pissed at his insistent yelling. "Now just shut up and walk, you babies." She growled out before she continued her trekking through the bloody water.

"This is really starting to get old. Blood doesn't exactly make for good terrain." Ling commented.

"Really? I hadn't noticed!" Yumi snapped irritably.

"I'm starving to death." Ling commented.

"You're always starving to death." Yumi retorted.

"As soon as we're out, I'll let you order anything from room service." Ed promised.

Yumi smiled. "While you're at it you might as well eat as much as you want and sleep as long as you'd like." Yumi added with an almost soft smile.

"Ooh, is the great Lieutenant Colonel Yatsuke growing a heart?" Ed teased.

"Shut up."

"Nope." He retorted.

"I said to shut-" Before she could finish her sentence there was a splash from behind them. Bot alchemists turned around to find Ling collapsed in the sea of blood.

"Ling!" Ed exclaimed as he rushed to his side.

"I'm sorry Ed...Yumi...I can't make it." Ling gasped out.

"Don't tell me..." Yumi sighed as she put her face in her hand.

"You're giving up so easily!? You're so pathetic!" Ed snapped. "It's bad enough when you collapse in the street but here? Get up!" Ed ranted causing Yumi to slam her hand against her face in annoyance.

"...But you're not dragging me down." Ed snapped as he stalked off. Yumi sighed and waited a moment for him to be a little way away before Yumi grunted from the pain in her shoulder having stretched the injured muscle as she managed to get the fifteen year old onto her back.

"My god. You need to lay off the room service." She joked with a small wink as she slowly made her way through the cavern.

She smirked as she noticed Ed heading back towards them to join them. She sighed as she continued to trek through the blood when Ling's voice surprised her. "Why didn't you just leave me there?"

"Because. You have people waiting for you. And the only thing worse than lying to the people you love, is dying on them." She said emotionlessly as she stumbled through the sea of blood but yelped out in pain as she tripped over something and fell onto a big cold gray stone slab.

She just laid there, on her back, completely ignoring Ed and Ling's conversation as she slowly breathed in and out, in out, in out, in. "Hmn?" She glanced over to Ling as he got to his feet and glared out into the darkness. "What is it, moron?" She questioned with a questioning raised eyebrow.

"There's something out there." Ling said. "Is that...?" Yumi immediately jumped to her feet and whirled around, her eyes narrowed into tiny blue slits of anger as she spotted the one Homunculus that she hated most. The reason, in her opinion, for Greed's death. It was like a vengeful dream come true but also like her worst nightmare. There standing in front of them was...

"Envy."

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 hope you guys liked this chapter. The next one will have more action in it, I promise. I'm sorry this was so rushed, I'll try to make the next one longer, kay?
