A/N: Hey everyone, first of all I would like to thank San Child of the wolves and theWingedwolfAlchemist for their reviews, very appreciated and I am glad that both of you enjoyed the recent chapter. I promise I'll try to keep up on my updates better. And I hope I explained everything in the last one, if I didn't I'll try to explain them in this one. I probably left out how Akasha got pregnant in the first one. It was a oopsie type thing with her and a friend of hers and Nikki. There'll be more of the explanation in the future. (Give or take in 4 chapters).

Chapter 3

Military trouble

Akasha narrowed her eyes as she eyed Nikki with disdain. They were surrounded by men in uniform all of them had their guns pointed at the girls.

"Is there something we can help you with?" Akasha asked dangerously to the man in front of her. He had brown skin, bald and a black moustache. He did not seem amused by the sight of the girls in this building.

Akasha wasn't too keen with those who were above her, especially authority. She didn't know why, but she loathed those with power, some had a tendency to abuse it and harm those who had to abide by them.

"You have no right to be in here! This is restricted property!" the man fumed in his statuesque stance.

"I saw no signs or anything by that factor," lied Akasha.

"There was a guard at the front entrance and I highly doubt you asked nicely to enter the building."

"And if we didn't? What's it to you?" Akasha asked.

"You little brat! Do you not realize who you are dealing with?" the man stormed.

"Well, obviously not!" Akasha shot back keeping Nikki behind her by force.

"Hmph, I am Basque Grand, Brigadier General for Central. Also known as the iron blood Alchemist," Grand introduced in an undertone that suggested that he meant business.

'Akasha, we need to get out of here, I don't trust him or these people,' Nikki thought through the bond.

'We're going, but I don't think he'll allow us to simply leave. These men are willing to shoot whenever this Basque Grand tells them,' Akasha replied.

"Did you not hear me?" Grand snapped.

"What was the question?" Akasha asked dazed.

"Who are you?" It wasn't in the politest of tones.

"I am not telling you anything!" Akasha snapped.

"You will suffer the consequences if you do not speak up. Now, I ask you again. Who are you?"

Akasha remained silent as she shifted her eyes from side to side glaring at all the soldiers that surrounded them. All their guns were still cocked and ready to fire at a moments notice. Akasha knew that they were in trouble big time.

'We have one chance to do this. Nikki stay back unless I tell you otherwise. Do you understand?' Akasha asked, her body trembling as her eyes settled on Grand again.

'Yes, I understand,' Nikki responded.

Akasha took a deep breath as she felt her entire body tremble with anger. She hated being threatened, and she loathed people threatening her girlfriend. As she continued to glare at Grand her eyes began to turn to a darker colour.

Without any more hesitation, Akasha grabbed the sword handle taking it out of the scabbard and moved toward the soldier closest to her.

Leaping into the air, Akasha flipped over the soldiers swinging her sword aiming for the guns to get them away from the men. She refused to allow anything to happen to Nikki and this was the best way.

None of the soldiers were able to comprehend what was going on. They were all too stunned to move.

"What are we up against here?" one soldier asked back away slightly.

"I've never seen anything like her before," another pointed out.

"Don't lose your cool now! Show no mercy!" bellowed Grand.

Akasha landed on her feet, her fury rising more and more. The sword resting at her side, so far no blood graced the blade. Well at the moment, unless their stupidity showed.

"What have we done wrong that you want to harm us?" Akasha questioned eyeing the guards warily.

"For trespassing and for refusing to give proper identification of who you are."

"That is bullshit. You can't just attack for mere reasons like this," argued Akasha.

"Oh, I have every right," Grand sneered. "Men seize both of them."

Akasha stared wide eyed as the soldiers close to Nikki began to advance. Although Nikki defended for herself and could easily protect herself, in a scared states and an uneasy environment she froze with fear.

"Nikki! Don't touch her!" yelled Akasha furiously as she tried to run toward her.

"Don't come any closer if you know what's good for you," threatened a soldier blocking her way.

"She has done nothing!"

"Both of you have entered a restricted area."

Nikki tried her hardest to urge her legs forward to run. That was something Akasha repeatedly told her in the past. If threatened and outnumbered, run and don't look back. But her instinct regardless was to protect Akasha. Her fear made her stay frozen in place as the soldiers advanced. It was if time slowed down.

She noticed a handful were already advancing toward Akasha ready to take her prisoner. Akasha herself stood in a fighting position ready to take them on.

There was nothing either of them could do, they were surrounded and obviously outnumbered.

Realizing that the soldiers were closing in on her, Akasha leapt into the air flipping over them landing on her feet with grace.

"Akasha!" yelled Nikki.

Akasha turned her attention toward her girlfriend who had two soldiers holding on to her arms tightly as she struggled against their grasps.

"That is the last straw!" seethed Akasha as she dropped her sword to the ground with a clatter. The earth began to shutter as her anger began to rise. The soldiers began to sway and falter as the ground began to open.

As soon as the soldiers were distracted enough, Akasha took the opportunity to summon her water element. A blue orb appeared in her palm of her hand that slowly grew larger.

In one single movement, Akasha stretched out her arms to the sides causing a stream of water to shoot out and sending the soldiers flying against the far walls. Nikki braced herself for the initial attack when her captives finally released her.

"I warned you to stay away from her," seethed Akasha. She strolled over to her disregarded sword ready to claim it hers again.

A sharp, searing pain shot through her right hand as she bent down to pick up her sword. She cried out in agony bringing her hand close to her chest cradling it close to her, blood trickling over her other hand. At the moment she didn't seem overly concerned with the sword or anything else in the room. Her eyes remained on her hand examining the wound.

'Akasha, are you all right?' Nikki asked worried.

'I'll be fine, but who ever did this will regret it dearly.'

As she went to pick her sword up back up, a hand had already reached out to pick it up. Akasha stepped back worry filling her entire body as she came face to face with an older man wearing an eye patch on his left side. His attention seemed to be focused closely on the sword in his hand.

"Amazing craftsmanship. I give my regards to who designed it."

"I'm the one that actually created the sword," Akasha piped up hesitantly. Something about this man she didn't trust and she knew the longer they stood talking, the greater the chance of an unexpected attack or capture.

"Really now? I am quite impressed."

'Who does he think he's playing at?' asked Nikki hiding all her fear.

'I couldn't tell you, but I would love to get out of this damn place.'

Akasha refused to move from her spot as she eyed the man. If only she had Nikki's ability to read people she would better understand who this man was. He had the same royal blue uniform as Grand, the jacket longer in length however. There was definitely an air about him that made him seem almost powerful in status.

"If I may ask, who are you?" Akasha asked biting her tongue with snapping like she did with Grand.

"A few of the soldiers all gawked at her like she was insane. Even Grand couldn't believe what she had just asked.

"How do you not know his Excellency the Fuhrer?" Grand snapped. The man Grand referred to as Fuhrer raised a hand to calm him.

"Take it easy soldier. I am Fuhrer King Bradley of Amestris."

'Akasha….'

'Yeah I know, Tasha never spoke of him before. I don't know if we can trust him or not to help us.'

Akasha shook her head tightening her grip on Nikki. Nikki was sensing the growing fear coming from Akasha as she felt the tightening grip. Her aura radiating lighter colours then they had before.

"We're new here," Nikki piped up.

"Where exactly are you two from?"

'Do we dare tell him?' Nikki asked.

'They don't appear to be hunters of any kind. But I'm not sure,' questioned Akasha sceptically.

"The Fuhrer asked you a question."

"Dragoon. It's not even remotely around here."

"Well now, we seem to have a location of you two ladies and you now you know me, I wonder, what are your names?"

"I'm Nikki Mondragon, pri…" Nikki introduced but felt an elbow hit her in the stomach.

'Ow, what was that for?'

'They don't need to know you hold any royalty lines until I am positive I can trust them. And under any circumstances we can not tell them of our secret,' scolded Akasha her eyes staring the Fuhrer directly in the eye.

'No one need to know of our secret, but we need to trust someone.'

"Mondragon, a nice strong name. And what about you?"

Akasha could feet the burning sensation from the stare. Although his outward appearance revealed more of a softer side, inwardly held bitterness and anger. Akasha knew she had to play it cool and not reveal that she was sensing something from this man.

"My name is Akasha Wolf."

"There that wasn't so hard was it?" smiled the Fuhrer. "Akasha, another strong name."

'What are you playing at old man?' thought Akasha.

"Well you two have stumbled across a building that doesn't allow trespassing. I'll have my men escort you and Miss Mondragon back to your hotel."

"We don't have one."

"Then where are you staying?"

"We aren't sure yet, we just arrived just under an hour ago," replied Akasha.

"Well now, we can't have that," the Fuhrer said.

Without warned the soldiers who originally had taken Nikki, grabbed her arms once again pulling her away from Akasha. Nikki struggled in their grasp repeating "let me go" over and over again. Akasha turned her attention back to her girlfriend panic rising in her face.

"Let her go!" she demanded as another soldier came behind her. She didn't realize this as she took a step toward the guards ready to take them on again.

"There is no use interfering, you can't stop us all," the soldier replied grabbing Akasha's arm holding her back.

"No! Let me go!"

"Take them to HQ, I would like to have a few words with them," Fuhrer Bradley instructed.

Akasha struggled against the guards, how did she allow herself to get caught like this? Worse of all, how did she allow Nikki to be captured?

"Akasha, help!" screamed Nikki trying her hardest to fight against the guards.

"Let go of her, she has done nothing wrong. Please," begged Akasha.

There was no response but the guards did let up on their holds. Akasha kicked herself for all of this. If anything were to happen, she wouldn't stop blaming herself.

The girls were taken to a car parked outside and taken to Central headquarters. The entire trip was the utmost quiet one. The guards kept them separate so there couldn't be any planning. Little did they know, the girls had their way of communicating.

'Akasha, what is going on?'

'Trust me, if I knew I would tell you. I'm getting frustrated with all of this bull. Tasha should have explained more of this prior to us leaving.'

'Times like this, I wish we had Lissa and Rose with us.'

'Same here, but they made their decisions. They left, they are probably safer where they are.'

'We need to look for them though.'

'In the situation that we're in, it's impossible.'

The car came to a stop just outside a large stone building. Akasha eyed it warily, things were definitely taking its toll for them. Who knows what lie in wait for them inside.

The passenger door opened and a soldier stood next to Akasha taking her out of the vehicle, her wrists bound in hand cuffs. It was so she wouldn't try to escape, or so the soldiers told her.

"Get moving."

"I am capable enough to walk on my own, I won't try to escape."

"We don't want any problems, this is the way that we always have done it."

Akasha and Nikki were escorted through the barren halls. Each step they made the girls made mental notes of each new hall that came about and all the closed doors. They could easily use it as an escape route later on if need be.

A chill ran up their spines with each step that they took. There was something not right about this place whatsoever. Nikki could sense the unbalance of auras. This was definitely not becoming a safe place to be.

"Where are you taking us?" demanded Akasha keeping her voice level still holding on to the courage and anger.

"Oh you'll see soon enough," the man walking in front of them replied.

Akasha rolled her eyes at the man's comment. No one in the damned city was telling her anything. Oh how she longed to just take them out and feed on them, make her point clear. To the hell with rules, they needed to suffer. Akasha shook her head clearing her mind of all these thoughts. This was not her, she wasn't like this. But for some unknown reason, these soldiers were making her furious.

Nikki felt the tension rise up more and more inside of Akasha. A battle raging on almost between something conflicting. Nikki knew that Akasha longed for the blood than anyone else she knew. There wasn't any reason for it. Well any reason that Nikki could figure at least. Akasha always told her over and over that she never felt satisfied enough, even though she had enough. Of course, she wouldn't go to the extreme of killing to satisfy her thirst.

It wasn't long when the girls were standing in front of a large oak double door. The aura surrounding the doors was a strange one. Nikki could see a thick black shadow looming before them that no one else seemed to notice. They were either blind to it or ignorant towards it.

"Inside," instructed the soldier.

Akasha scoffed at the soldier strolling inside after Nikki. This had a familiar feel towards it. How many times had she stepped into Headmistress Kirova's office along with Rose? This was nothing new to her. She kept in the back of her mind that this was just another visit to the Headmistress' office for yet another lecture.

A/N: Yeah, only a few days and another chapter is complete. Would have been done yesterday but things arose, mainly personal issues. Chapter 4 will be up in the next day or two. Hope everyone enjoys this.
