"Hello Sloth." Misery said with a smirk as she crossed her arms over her chest.

Sloth glared intensely before he slowly dozed off causing Misery to face palm, rolling her purple eyes exaggeratedly. "Same old Sloth." She muttered under her breath in annoyance.

"Oh my fucking god! You're sleeping!?" Yumi yelled in surprised.

"Hmn...'Go dig a hole.' How annoying." Sloth murmured in annoyance.

"I'm guessing dad sent you huh." It would've been hard for anybody to keep up with the two of them, switching between souls in control every other sentence.

"Why should I care about you?" Sloth said causing Yumi to laugh at Misery's dumbfounded expression.

"Ouch. That's gotta hurt, Miz. Heh heh heh! Oh my god! Your face!" She was holding her sides as she laughed now.

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 S
hake 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?

She slowly stopped laughing just in time to jump out of the way of his attack. "What the hell!?"

"Orders. Fathers orders...Such a pain...Dispose of traitors...what a pain... I suppose dying would be a pain too..." She narrowed her eyes in anger before she slowly pulled her bracelets on around her wrists again. She slammed her hands down onto the ground and sent a handful of mini meteors at him. They just bounced off of his chest causing her to visibly pale.

"Fire!" One of the Briggs soldiers yelled before a bunch of others shot at him causing Yumi to facepalm.

"The guns aren't affecting him at all!" Bucaneer exclaimed.

"You've just noticed that, have you?" She commented with a swift glare his way before she swiftly pulled out her own guns, at least they'd protect her somewhat. She froze and groaned in anger and annoyance as he went up a lifter thing causing a majority of the other soldiers in the room to run upstairs after him.

"Shit!" She yelled and ran forward, crouching down lower and lower with each step she took she eventually slammed her hands down onto the ground before doing a quick handstand and landing on her feet on a chunk of earth as it went soaring upwards, her nails digging into it.

"It won't help anything much if the Drachmans figure out we're in trouble." Yumi quickly front flipped up onto the ledge and narrowed her eyes. She honestly didn't know what to do. There was one element she could use...Darkness...but... No. She'd promised herself she would never use it. It was inhumane.

"You're worried about being inhumane when you're fighting a homunculus?!" Misery sounded astonished and pissed off.

"Look, Misery, I don't have time for this shit." She muttered. "Shit is going down, and the shit that's going down could turn very bad very soon." She snapped before she rushed forward and flicked her wrist sending fire at him, which he just shook off of him.

"Get out of my way, Yatsuke!" Yumi glanced over her shoulder to see Olivier inside a huge ass tank causing her eyes to widen.

"Sure." She said as she quickly rolled out of the way and jumped to her feet. Her wrist held at a certain angle as she got ready to use fire again if she had to.

"Sorry Kid, but I'm taken over now." Misery said calmly.

"Misery, don't you dare. If you so much as control one finger so help me god I'll-" Before she could finish her sentence she felt her control over her body disappear.

"Hey, General lady!" Misery said, her voice deeper than Yumi's and casual. "You can try whatever you'd like, if you don't mind him not dying." She commented with a grin.

"What do you mean?" Olivier questioned.

"He won't die." She said calmly.

"He won't?!" She narrowed her eyes slightly before going off into a rage. "You will answer all of my questions fully and completely! First off, Is that thing a spy?!" Misery rolled her eyes.

"Nah, Pops wouldn't use him if he was going to spy on anyone." She replied.

"Who is 'Pops'?"

"My father."

"What is that thing?"

"A homun-" Before she could respond her purple eyes widened. "Damn it, Yumi. You fucking idiot, stop it!" She gritted her teeth in anger and before Olivier's very eyes her purple eyes turned a familiar deep blue.

"I can't tell you here! It has to be somewhere nobody else will know! It could put your soldier's lives at risk!" Yumi exclaimed hurriedly.

"Is that a threat?" Yumi groaned loudly and slammed her head against the ground.

"Of course the fuck not!" She grumbled out before she pulled herself to her feet. "I can't explain now!" She called over her shoulder before she darted off.


She was currently leaning against a wall, outside the Briggs fortress with her head rested in her hands, memories going flying through her mind.

~Flashback.~

Yumi's eyes widened as she saw Kimblee make it so that the closest thing she had to a mother was completely unrecognizable. The war was still raging on behind her which caused her blood to start to boil. Instead of killing Kimblee right there she did her job. She jumped to the top of a building and flicked her wrist sending several things on fire.

She narrowed her eyes as she noticed several Ishvalans actually outrunning some of the military. "I can fix that." She muttered and twirled her finger and then her wrist in a circle causing a tornado to sweep them back over towards the snipers who immediately shot them. She glanced to the side and noticed some of them were trapped but none of the military could get to them either. She narrowed her eyes and flung her arms out at full length causing the ishvalan's to start to gurgle before they fell to the ground in a matter of minute, water pooling out of the mouths.

She noticed a group of ishvalan's, in the process of killing some of the military. She sighed before she snapped her fingers, causing shadows to wrap around them and pull them back and hold them there while the military shot them.

~End Flashback.~

Her eyes flew open and she fell to the ground, gasping for air as she wiped some sweat from her forehead. "I'm sorry." She whispered. "I'm so, so, sorry."

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.


Sorry about it being so short, I'll try to make the next chapter longer, I promise it just seemed like a good place to end it.

Review?
