Misery sighed boredly as she stared out the window of the moving train. She glanced down at her wrists where there was Yumi's alchemic bracelets hanging limply on her wrists. "Hey Yumi?"
"Hmn? What is it?" Yumi's voice sounded in her head.
"I was just curious about these bracelets of yours..." She trailed off.
"What about them?"
"Well you said that Like Ed, though you aren't quite as famous people do know who their talking about when they mention the Elements Alchemist, right?" Misery said thoughtfully.
"What's your point?" Misery smiled.
"So, those people who have heard of you, especially Kimblee who was in the same war as you, won't they know who you are if your wearing these bracelets?" Misery questioned curiously.
"Hmn? ... I suppose...You could be right." Misery grinned.
"Don't worry, kid. They'll be just here in my pocket." She assured her before slipping the bracelets into the jacket pocket on the right side of her torso. "You worry too mu-" She broke off from what she was going to say when a loud explosion sounded behind her.
Failure concentrating
Body/motor responses hesitating
Soul/ego shaking
Blur between daydreams and awakening
Loss of control and perpetual
Sense that luck and light are fading
No more ruminating
Shake the strife off your life or keep on waiting
That's my situation
Can't escape 'cause to run is degradation
No expectations
Still I fight to bite temptation
Got to be brave as I unenclave
Find the prize is my fixation, I'm
Still holding onto my pride, Oh
Is this the shine of a wine-toasted victory
Or is it just a sad bitter sigh of defeat?
I'll take it either way.
If fate is just a play
I'm tying the strings up starting today
Sound the chime, golden time
Steal perfection in its prime
Take your place, poker face
Ready for the race I will choose to refuse the illusion
And shatter the nightmare
Faking tame, pressure game
Win or lose it's all the same
Pay the fine, border line
Hapless to divine
If there's any how many and when
Will these games find an ender?
What's the last thing I want to surrender?
"What was that?!" Yumi practically screamed at her, causing her ears to ring.
"Damn it, Yumi! Keep your voice down!" Misery complained as she darted over to the door at the end of the train car they were in and flung it open only to be greeted by a blizzard to the face.
"Damn it, Misery! Get moving!" Yumi's voice shouted again.
"I'm going, I'm going. Jeez." Misery muttered before she stepped outside and slammed the door behind her. She bended her knees slightly and then jumped up into the air, landing heavily on her feet on top of one of the many roofs around them. She noticed one of the train cars near the end had smoke coming out of it. This intrigued the homunculus.
She ran forward, jumping from rooftop to rooftop until she came to a screeching halt, her nails digging into the roof to keep herself from falling off.
She jumped down to a part of the train that had no walls or roof on it and noticed a man heading on out on the smoking train car. "I don't want to be anywhere near these two maniacs when their fighting, I think it's about time for me to get off this train." Misery couldn't help herself. She laughed loudly as his face paled. "I can't!" He whined.
"Oh for the love of-" Yumi said suddenly grasping control of her body again and lifting him off of the ground with one hand. "Misery, take control and throw him off. The snow should blanket it but try to look insane or something." Misery grinned from inside her.
"Come on, Kid. You don't give me enough credit." She said as she curled her fingers slightly and grinned widely at Yoki who gulped which just caused her to laugh. "Have a nice trip, motherfucker." She smirked before she threw him down off of the train straight into a blanket of snow.
"Hey!" 'Hmn?' Misery slowly turned around just in time to duck under the attack of a tall ishvalan guy with white hair and a scar in his face. She ducked under his arm as she rushed forward and quickly to a sideways flip onto the roof of the car closest to them. "Who are you?" Misery laughed at his question and slowly placed a hand on her hip.
"Why, I'm just a state alchemist." She said innocently.
"Your lies and deceit will not work on me!" He yelled before he jumped up in front of her, swinging his right arm at her. The homunculus ducked the attack with ease and jumped back a couple of feet. "Well if you must know," She appeared behind him and wrapped her arms around him, pulling him into a hug in a teasing manner. "The name's Misery." She whispered in his ear before she yelped in fake shock as she dodged another of his attacks. "So violent. Such hostility."
He glared her up and down as she back flipped onto an add on higher roof thing on the roof of the train and simply sat there with one leg crossed over the other.
She rolled her eyes at him before she slowly closed her eyes, a soft smirk appearing on her face as she allowed Yumi to take control again. Yumi flicked her wrist, eyes still closed, sending a gust of wind at him, which sent him flying down onto the lower level. Misery laughed as she jumped down off of the extension roof and sat down looking down at Scar and Kimblee as they circled each other.
"I'm sensing some hostility in the air." She laughed, holding her sides as she mocked the two humans.
"Hello Misery." Kimblee greeted her. "What brings you way up North, like this?"
She smirked at him. "It's none of your business Kimblee." She said calmly as she simply watched the two of them fight. "Try not to destroy all of the train, Kimblee." Misery scolded with a sly grin on her face.
"MISERY! YOU KNOW WHO THAT IS! YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I WANT HIS HEAD! LET! ME! THE FUCK! OUT!" Yumi screamed in her head.
"Think about it, kid. Which would you rather. Take revenge on him yourself or just watch him die?" She questioned quietly, her eyes darting downward to where Kimblee now lay with a pipe stuck in his body. Yumi snarled and, in a furious rage, grabbed onto Misery's soul and yanked it downwards before she took it's place in control.
She rushed forward, landing a little ways behind Scar, only for a loud explosion that made her blood run cold to echo throughout her ears. Her eyes widened as she saw the train car the Kimblee was bleeding to death on and all of the ones in front of it take off while all of the rear cars simply came to a stop.
"KIMBLEE!" She screamed in fury. She started to pace back and forth on the car with no shelter, kicking over anything she could get her hands on. She eventually sunk down to her knees. "Damn it. That fucking bastard got away from me AGAIN." She snarled out.
"What are you talking about?" Scar questioned, a scowl on his face.
"You and I are a lot alike." She said quietly.
"You are a state alchemist. I am a servant of god. We are NOTHING alike!" He roared.
"Oh but we are. Much like you, the only thing I care about, is getting my revenge." She said sadly as she put her face in her hands.
"Who are you? You're acting different from before!" He snapped.
"Yeah, sorry about that. I don't know if Misery's father is looking for her, or not. Regardless, that was Misery. She's a homunculus that occasionally takes control of my body. She's a bit childish." She chuckled lightly. "My name's Yumi Yatsuke." She introduced herself before she slowly got to her feet and shoved her hands into her pockets.
Not waiting for him to answer she hopped off of what was left of the train and started to run down a steep snowy path towards the mountains.
No matter how many times we're reborn
I want to meet you here again
I'll hold your hand so we're not separated
We talked until the sun came up in the morning
We held hands until the sun went down in the evening
Let's spend tomorrow and the next day like this too
Shadows and light
Now I wonder
What do you carry in your heart
And what world did you live in?
You can't find warmth alone
Looking at the town with lonely eyes
When I met you I learned for the first time
Just how much strength love gives you
No matter how many times we're reborn
I want to meet you here again
I'll hold your hand so we're not separated
I can't sleep alone, because I can't dream
On starless nights, I'll keep shining on you
And take you to a place where no anxiety can reach you
I can go anywhere if I'm with you
Even roads that I couldn't walk alone
With you I can walk them, humming as I go
As long as you're here, I'm happy.
:D Next chapter will involve General Armstrong, obviously. :) I'll try to update again today,
Review?
