Misery winced slightly as she continued on up the hill. She stopped when she saw a dark shadow fall over her.

It was a tall guy with black hair that he had up in a ponytail that was also part of a mohawk. She narrowed her eyes and quickly put her hand on the ground behind her before she did a one-handed, hand stand away from his attempt at squashing her.

"Wait a second is that...?" Yumi's voice entered her head before she broke out into laughter as she suddenly took control of her body again without warning.

"Damn it, Yumi! You could warn me before you do that!" She heard Misery exclaim.

"Sorry, Miz. Can't risk you killing him now." She grinned and swiftly dodged to the side away from him. "Buck-" She didn't get a chance to finish her sentence because he lashed forward again. "Would you just." She growled out in frustration as she backflipped out of the way.

She yanked her silver bracelets out of her pocket and tossed them up in the air. She smirked and point her fingers upwards and she raised her hands high above her head. She slammed her hands onto the ground as the bracelets slipped around her wrists causing the earth to shake an a huge brick wall to appear out of the ground, wrapping around his alchemic arm.

"Yumi?" Buckaneer questioned.

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 gave me away?" She snapped irritably at him as she placed her hands on her hips before she seemed to realize something. "And what the fuck were you trying to motherfucking do, kill me!?" She snapped as she pressed her hands deep into the snow causing the earth around his arm to disappear.

"Ha ha ha! Hey, I didn't know it was you, you should've told me it was you!" He retorted.

"Oh yeah. While your attacking me and trying to fucking kill me I'm supposed to go all, "Hey, Buck, just so you know this is Yumi! I know it's been a couple of years, like, since before Ishval and shit but I hope you remember." Yeah, like that would've worked." He laughed loudly at her.

"Buckaneer! Explain yourself at once!" A familiar voice shouted from above causing Yumi to pale. This was the only person that she publicly and privately respected. She slowly turned and stood up straight in that same saluting position as Buckaneer.

"It is good to see you again, General, sir!" Yumi greeted, her face emotionless, which was difficult, with Misery cracking jokes inside her head, but not impossible.

'Ha ha HA! Oh, my god! You look like a whipped puppy, Yumi! Ha ha ha! Wow, can't say I blame you though. She is pretty scary.' Yumi ignored her as best she could as she waited for General Olivier Armstrong's response.

"Enter." She said simply before she turned around and headed inside. Yumi slowly walked forward, quietly slipping her gun back into it's holster easily from when she'd withdrew it during the fight, and quietly walked past the doors and into Fort Briggs.

"From what I hear, you have met my brother Alex." She nodded emotionlessly.

"Yes Ma'am." She replied stoically.

"Is he doing alright?" She questioned. "I haven't seen him in a while but I guess, from what I've heard." She replied.

"Never mind him." Olivier said briskly. "I want to know why you would come all the way up here to meet me. I want to know everything. Including was that tattoo on your right hand is." She froze and slowly put her hands behind her back subconsciously. "Did you think I wouldn't notice?"

She blinked several times. "I want to tell you everything! I really do!" Yumi said quickly. "It's just...To tell you that... It could put some of you guys in danger..." She said after a moment or two. "Inhuman danger." She added.

"So, what work is she making me do this time?" Yumi said sadly, her shoulders slouching slightly.

He didn't respond causing her to cross her arms over her chest. "Come on, Miles! You're going to ignore me again?" She crumbled under her breath.

He laughed lightly. "I guess not." He said simply causing her to facepalm.

"Survival of the fittest." She murmured, almost reading his mind.

"Survival of the fittest." He replied simply before they came to a long hall with icicles lining the roof. One fell down towards her and she easily jumped back a couple of paces away from it. "All of these icicles need to be scraped off." He replied causing her to let out a small sigh.

"Alright." She said before she slowly placed buckets down along the hall. She hopped up onto the railing and thrust her arms out at full length sending red alchemic lines forward at the icicles. Near the roof where each icicle began they began to melt slowly. She smirked and jumped forward and kicked an icicle head on, causing it to fall into a bucket, but causing her to fall flat on her ass.

She sighed. "This is going to be a long day."

Later when she was finally done she made her way through into what she liked to call the tank room. She froze when she heard the sounds of the ground shaking. She noticed a couple of guys with their ears pressed to the ground and slowly knelt down to the ground, allowing her fingers to gently brush against the ground before her eyes widened.

"Hey! Get away from there!" She warned.

"What?"

Before she could respond the earth started to crack causing Yumi's eyes to narrow before she ran forward and pushed them back. "Shit! Yumi, I think this is-" Before Misery could respond Yumi interrupted her.

"I think so. Damn it, Miz. Your brother has the worst timing in the world." She muttered before she jumped back several paces, powering her alchemic energy into her hands. "Damn...Water probably wouldn't do much. Same with air and earth... Maybe I could try fire..." She murmured under her breath in thought as she slowly started to fiddle with her bracelets.

The earth exploded and a tall guy that was basically all muscles climbed out. His legs and arms looked far too small to belong to his body, but who was she to judge? Se slowly clenched her hands into fists as he turned towards her. "Misery..." His voice was deep, raspy, and VERY lazy.

Misery suddenly grasped a hold of her body. "Hello Sloth."

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.

Lol XD Yes, Another cliffie. I will try to update this story again today but, I dunno.

Review?
