-Cici's POV-

I held Seroko in my arms, worried for him. That's when he woke up. "Seroko!!" I yelled in glee. My happiness was quickly washed away when my neck was grabbed, and squeezed tightly.

Seroko smirked, his eyes dark black, no color in them. "Come out, come out, where ever you are, dearest princess.." he said, his voice full of malice and hate.

"Let go of her!!" Ed and Al shouted together.

"SILENCE!!!" Seroko barked, black tentacles shooting out of the ground and pinning the Elric brothers to the wall. "You won't stop me from killing the princess."

My eyes turned white as Life took over.

-Life's POV-

I coughed. "Let go of me."

"Aww..Little princess angry?" Seroko asked, trying to get me mad.

"I SAID LET GO!!!" Seroko was suddenly thrown into the wall.

YO, LIFE! WATCH IT, WILL YA?! That's my fiancé you just smacked around!! Cici's voice yelled from inside my head.

Yes, but Death is in control of his body.

Death stood up. He smirked, the mark of the homunculi forming on his neck. "Well, well, well. How long has it been, princess?"

"Two thousand years. But who's counting?" I said, watching my foe carefully.

"So how'd you get in a human's body?" Death hissed.

I smirked. "My soul has been passed down from woman to woman on Cici's mother's side. And finally, thanks to her hatred for a certain man, I've awakened."

"Ah. I've been body-hoppin' too. But once I sensed YOU through Seroko's body, I knew I had to take over." Death smirked at me. "So how do you think we should settle this?"

"Knowing the person I used to be, I would suggest a talk. But I've waited 20 centuries for the moment I get to finally destroy you just as you did to me oh so long ago."

"So you want to fight me? ME, the king of the otherworld and death?!" Death laughed. "Ha! You're as stupid as you were back then!!"

"But I have alchemy on my side now" I said with a smirk.

"Pshh..Yeah, yeah. I do too, you know." Death acted like it was nothing.

I grinned. "Well, let's start this little fight right now, then.." I clapped my hands, slamming them on the floor. Suddenly the floor around Death collapsed, and he fell down to the first floor of the hotel. I jumped in the hole and landed gracefully.

Death was sitting down, growling. He looked up as I walked over to him. "What are you waiting for, princess? Kill me!!"

I looked down at him. "As the humans say..two wrongs don't make one right."

"So you're just going to let me, your killer, live?" Death hissed.

"Nope." I slammed my foot into his chest, forcing him down onto the ground. That's when I noticed a scroll on the wall. "Hm?" I moved away from Death and read it.

The evil one known as Death shall take the lovely homunculi princess's very being, and the entire kingdom shall crumble. And thus, humans from that day forward shall believe homunculi are mere dolls, and there shall only be one way to create them.

But the homunculi princess shall take control of a state alchemist's body, and Death an ishballan's. The two humans shall fall in love, and the princess and Death shall have a mighty battle. The princess shall have mercy on Death, and they shall also fall in love, the kingdom reborn.

I read the last part carefully. My eyes widened at the part of myself falling in love with Death. I began to feel not only sick, but also faint. I closed my eyes, falling backwards as I fell unconscious.

-Death's POV-

I quickly caught Life. I looked at her, just now realizing how beautiful she was. Even if she was stuck in a disgusting human's body. I began to feel guilty for killing her all those years ago. Rosy red lips, beautiful golden blonde hair..She looked like an angel to me now. Which, I guess, she technically is.

I gently ran my fingers through her hair, then just held her in my arms, almost like a lover would. Before I knew it, I was crying. Me, the almighty king of the underworld and death as we know it..crying. I cried because all this time, I did have feelings for her, but I thought the prophesy was my destiny. I thought that I had to kill her, no matter what. And I did. But now my heart ached, ached knowing that I killed the sweet princess and my only love, Life.

Life's eyes slowly fluttered open. She saw me crying, and blinked. "Why are you crying?" she asked, almost nervous.

I sniffled lightly. "I'm..sorry. I'm sorry I killed you all those years ago, and I'm sorry I came back to kill you again." I held her closer, continuing to cry. "Please forgive me."

Life just blinked, and hugged me. "I forgive you, Death...I've just been a sour old hag.."

I smiled, then gently brought up her face, kissing her lightly. We just sat there, kissing, and it seemed like eternity. Soon I broke the kiss, looking into her white eyes.

She looked speechless. I noticed her cheeks were red, too. "Um..uh..oh..." She looked away from me.

I chuckled. "Embarrassed, princess?"

She pointed at me and yelled. "Y-you've got some nerve, just kissing me like that out of the---" I interrupted her by kissing her again.

When I broke the kiss, she just looked at me again. "You are SUCH an asshole.."

"Thank you."

"But..now what?" she asked, looking away. "I'm a princess, you're a killer, and we're stuck in human's bodies...We can't be together.."

"Yes we can. Don't worry, we'll take care of it" I said, kissing her hands.

"I hope so.." Life muttered, worry in her voice.

We embraced once more before we began fixing the damage of our fight.
