Yumi sighed awkwardly from her place in the dark tunnel Sloth had been making. Olivier glared her down expectedly. "Talk." She ordered.

"Before I do..." She slowly pressed her hands to the ground causing a gust of wind to blow around them, gentle as it may be it was enough to blow out all of the lanterns and leave them in pitch black darkness.

"What'd you do that for?" Buccaneer snapped irritably as he found himself unable to see anything for the sake of his own sight he tried to light another Lantern but the match was snatched out of his hand by Yumi.

"I'll explain that soon." She promised.

"Start explaining, Yatsuke." Olivier snapped.

"Okay, fine." She sighed as she tapped her chin thoughtfully. Where to start...? Ishval...or Greed...Hm..."

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 T
ake 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 I
f there's any how many and when
Will these games find an ender?
What's the last thing I want to surrender?

"So these Homunuculi...Their inhuman, you say...?" Olivier questioned.

"Well somewhat. Greed is a homunculus but he has the body of a human, unless you count his ultimate shield which is basically made from carbon." She explained.

"How many of these things are there?"

"I used to think there were only seven. It wasn't until later that I found out that there is an eighth one." She slowly raised one hand and pressed her index finger to her forehead. "Inside here."

"What!?" Olivier exclaimed in shock.

"You see, to explain that I have to explain a few other things. Awhile back I met a foreigner in Rush Valley, named Ling Yao. He was apparently some big shot prince of Xing. Let's just say he reminded me of somebody, so I put up with his antics. One way or another I managed to get myself wrapped up into his fight to capture a Homunculus. Unfortunately, his plan backfired on him. Instead of one Homunculus he got two. Gluttony and Wrath." She said, her finger gently tapping against her leg in the darkness.

"Go on."

"Before I say any more I think you should know something. Fuhrer King Bradley is the Homunculus Wrath." She said quickly.

"Our countries leader is a homunculus!? An artificial human?" Olivier was enraged to say the least.

"Yeah, but enough of that." She said, all too quick to move on. "I already had a bit of a grudge against Wrath because he killed somebody close to me. I foolishly went after him and lost. I soon found myself at the abandoned cabin where Ling had captured Gluttony. Before I could step a foot inside the house, however, there was a big blast, and I was walking in a sea of blood."

"A sea of blood?"

"Yeah. Gluttony's stomach. Long story short Edward Elric, The Fullmetal Alchemist, Ling Yao, The Idiotic Prince, and Envy the Homunculus all ended up in his stomach too." She explained.

"How did you get out?"

"Ed did this sort of weird transmutation that even I didn't understand the next thing we knew we were out in front of the Homunculi's father." She said softly.

"What happened then?"

"I'm getting there, I'm getting there." She snapped. "Long story short, their father decided to make two new pawns. He put a philosopher stone inside Ling and soon his body was taken over by the Homunculus Greed."

"And what about you?" Olivier snapped.

She sighed. "I was afraid you were going to ask me that. Me? I was taking to another room and tied down so that I couldn't fight it and he did the same thing with me. The experience is excruciating. All the souls from the philosopher stone screaming and running through you. I fell down into this dark room where a little girl was waiting. She soon revealed herself to be..." She trailed off.

"Who was she?" Olivier pressed on.

Yumi lifted her head to look at her through glaring purple eyes. "Me." Misery deeper more playful tone of voice came from her mouth. "My name is Misery. You wanna know more about the Homunculi? Let's see...Envy can change form into any shape he wants. Wrath, on top of his unbeatable sword fighting skills, can use his left eye, what he calls the ultimate eye, to see anybody's weakness. Lust could extend her fingers to any distance. Gluttony can bite through anything, even the toughest metal. As the kid told you Greed has this thing called the Ultimate shield made of Carbon. Sloth, the creature from upstairs, on top of his obvious body strength, is known as the fastest homunculus. And Pride? Well, he's the reason the lights had to be put out. He can see anything from the shadows, no matter where he is. He can attack using the shadows. That's why she wanted no lights cause if there were lights then her could use the shadows." Misery ranted.

"How could he not attack when it's nothing but shadows?" Falman asked.

"No, it's nothing but darkness." She corrected. "For there to be shadows for him to use there has to be light."

"Oh."

"And what is your ability?" Olivier questioned.

"When people first see me, they see the thing they want to see most, deep down in their subconscious. I pray on that, it helped Father out quite often. On top of that I have an almost instant connection with certain birds and I recruit them to use as spies." She said simply before she suddenly gasped out.

"Damn it, Misery, I thought I asked you to at least let me know before taking control like that." She snapped before she flicked her wrist causing the torches to relight. "So that's it. And then I came up North because I heard Kimblee was coming here."

"What do you want with Kimblee?"

"Revenge." She said simply before she climbed out of the hole.

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.

I know guys, not exactly longer but I really didn't know what else to put. :)

Review?
