Summary: Botan based romance drabbles posted every day in December until Christmas. Crossovers are with: FMA IY DBZ YGO. Rating may change.
Rating for this chapter: T
Paring: Edward/Botan
Warning: There is a spoiler for the end of series.
Genre: Romance/Angst
FMC: Pretty dramatic I think, like a half-assed angst. I was inspired by my Chorus class when we were singing some song (I can't remember what it was called) and it was really sad sounding. Anyway here's to another chapter, and I think chapter nine will be up today too.
Chapter Eight: Dancing with Death
"Edward Elric… age sixteen… lost his mother at age nine and tried to bring her back with Human Transmutation, but failed and lost his brother's body and his arm and leg. Died once during a fight with Envy and once again to bring his brother back… hmm… things weren't really looking up for you were they?" The pink kimono wearing girl said, reading directly from the Black Book of Emma.
"Che, like you know anything… girl. So let me through the blasted Gate already!" The short blonde shouted as Botan clicked her tongue and wiggled her finger in the air.
"Not so fast Mr. Elric. First off you have to see Koenma, and then he'll judge you and see if you should go to Heaven, Hell, or beyond the Gate." Botan patted the space on the back of her oar and Edward raised his eyebrows.
"You want me to ride a boat oar." He said in a dead panned voice as Botan rubbed her cheek sheepishly.
"Well, when you put it that way…" She muttered but stopped when Edward strode forward and placed his auto mail hand on her cheek. She shuddered and blushed hotly at the same time.
"This isn't exactly… professional…" Botan whispered as she stared into his golden orbs. He smirked leaning his face close to hers.
"What's another sin?" And with that pulled her off her oar and danced with her. He danced and danced circling around the empty space just as he had with Rose. Botan followed his lead, as they twirled in a pit of melancholy; of darkness. He danced with this beautiful apparition.
Edward danced with Death.
