I walked into central commands, Ed following close behind me, with the small clinks of his armor. Knowing that he was beside me; made me feel slightly better; considering I was going to Mustangs office. I really hate that bastard, he always makes fun of how my chest was undeveloped,how I looked like a guy with long hair, or my height. I quickened my pace slightly, and Ed's armor clanked more rapidly, trying to keep at the same pace as me. Which was slightly difficult; as the hallway was slightly crowded, and he was a huge suit of armor, he caught attention and kept bumping into people, which he immediately apologized upon doing.
Soon, we reached Mustangs office, and I let out a huge sigh, which did not go unnoticed by Ed.
"Are you ok, sister?" He glanced at me, his tone showing clear concern.
"Im fine, I just don't want to be in the same room as the Colonel bastard." I muttered, glancing at the ground, I heard Ed scoff, and I quickly pulled my head up.
"You have to go in sometime, sister" Ed looked at me, and I looked away, right before opening the door to the bastard's office.
"Oi, bastard! We're here!" I yelled out, I took a quick glance around the room; noone seemed to be here, and the only thing indicating that a human was here was the huge stack of paperwork on mustangs desk. I was about to leave, but I heard mustangs voice from behind the huge pile.
"Fullmetal? Is that you? I really cant see you, your too short!"
"SAY THAT TO MY FACE BASTARD!" I yelled, clenching my fist, trying my hardest not to go and punch the flame out of him. I heard the man's arrogant laugh, and I just glared. I glared at the stack of papers, and it was a wonder how the papers didn't have a hole in them yet.
Mustang pushed some of the papers aside to show me the smirk that was on his face, and the teasing reflecting off his eyes.
...
I hate this man.
"Fullmetal, nice to see you came, you too Edward" Mustang nodded a greeting to Ed, who waved back.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Is there a reason you called us? You don't seem like the type to just call us to say 'hello' " I crossed my arms, showing my impatience very clearly to the man in front of me. But, it seemed like he ignored my stance, and my attitude.
"I have a mission for you." All signs of joking vanished from his face, so I just raised an eyebrow.
"What is it?" I asked curiously, letting my arms dangle to my sides now.
"I need you to go under cover at a school in Xing, we believe that some wealthy family's there might be plotting against Amestris." He handed me a single blank envelope, the words 'CLASSIFIED' stamped in big red letters. Really? That is sort of, well, dumb, what if someone sees the envelope and looks into it?
I snatched the envelope from mustangs hands, and quickly opened it, quickly skimming through, I learned that I needed to infiltrate ouran academy and was to stay with ... Major Ryōuji...
"Why Major Ryōuji?" I asked, handing the papers to Ed for him to read.
"Major Ryōuji is the only officer undercover in Xing for now, and it was difficult getting him in there, even if he is a cross dresser."
"Fine, ill give you that" I turned towards Ed, his glowing red eyes were examining the paper from top till bottom. "C'mon Ed" My voice snapped him out of his reading session as he looked at me. "We have to pack for Xing." Ed nodded, but as we started to walk out, the Colonel had one more thing to say;
"Edward cannot come with you, he would be too suspicious"
