I decided to put maybe one or two more chapters into this series.
Ok now were back to the present and Roy is about to kiss kit while she's unconsious...
Numb- by Linkin Park and Shattered- by Trading Yesterday
Part one- numb
°~°{I'm tired of being what you want me to be,
Feeling so faithless,
Lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me,
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes (Caught in th undertow)
(Just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you, (Caught in the undertow)
(Just caught in the undertow)}°~°
Roy P.O.V
I barely brushed her lips with mine when I caught the smell of what Biritani was cooking. Bacon. I sat up fast. The smell of bacon was the only way to wake kit up when she's this far asleep. She would sit up and yell-
"Do I smell bacon?" She asked sitting up. I smirked.
"Perfect timing." She yawned.
"Hey Roy. How long was I out?" I shrugged
"I don't know I just got here." She stood up.
"Wanna eat?" She asked. I shook my head.
"No. Sorry. I have a date I came to see if you were feeling okay." She gave me what looked like a forced smile.
"I- I'm fine really." I frowned.
"Are you sure?" I wasn't buying it.
"Yeah I'm fine. I just said didn't I?" She turned to go into the kitchen, but something fell out of her pocket. I picked up what looked like a note. The first thing that caught my eye was the signature...
-your sister-in-law, Kiko.
Kit grabbed the note and walked into the kitchen.
"I don't want to make you late." She said very coldly. I didn't want to argue, and make her even madder. I knew she got like this when she was in pain. I nodded and started for the door.
"I'll see you at work." I said barely loud enough for her to hear, but if she did she didn't acknowledge it.
Kit P.O.V
(Two weeks later...)
I was called into the furhers office, for the last few weeks I haven't stuck around the office much. I've been trying to avoid the drama that comes with hanging out with Roy, and the potential stress. This morning he had the nerve to bring a blonde to work with him...
-flashback-
I took a step into the office and froze. I heard moaning noises coming from behind the desk, I saw the hookers and Roy's clothes strung all over the room. I slowly stepped out and locked the door. I ran to the womens bathroom, and after throwing up I began crying. Once I was able to calm down enough to step out and wash my face I noticed Riza had been there the whole thime.
"What happened?" She asked. I told her what I saw. She looked a little sick to.
"Kit I'm sorry. I know how much you-"
"Forget it." I cut her off. "It doesn't matter." Before she could say anything I walked out. As I was walking down the hall I ran into Havoc. He was in a flirtatous mode... until he saw my face.
"Have you... been crying?" I simply stepped around him but he followed.
"What's wrong?"
"Ask Roy." I mummbled.
Then at lunch (I never went back to the office, and I never ran into Roy again.) I was summoned into the furhers office. Thats where I am now.
"Go to Lior. Get the next train out of town," Said the furher.
"You are the only one who might be familiar with whats going on."
"How so?" He shifted his weight and put down a file on the table. The title read Ryuu family massacer. My family. Zane.
"We've found several people dead, and have all been skinned. I want you to take care of it before it becomes a major problem. I am expecting you to do just fine on your own. But I might send back up. Don't lay down on the job like your colonel."
"Yes, sir!" I saluted him andvleft the room. The next train for Lior leaves in three hours. Why does everyone suspect that I am just like him, only because I work for him... oh well just forget about it right now... ok, I have time to get my stuff out of the office... I stopped. I couldn't face Roy. I turned and walked for the exit. I didn't leave anything important anyway. I walked past Ed, Al, And Biritani I didn't even acknowledge them.
°~°{(chorus)
I've become so numb,
I can't feel you there
I've become so tired,
So much more aware
I'm becoming this,
All I want to do
Is be more like me,
And be less like you}°~°
Biritani P.O.V
Something was up with Kit. She looked distracted, lost in thought,and I could tell that she had been crying. So I went straight to the source.
Havoc P.O.V
I went to Riza instead of the colonel. He would play dumb, and act like he didn't know. After Riza told me I couldn't help but notice the afterglow on him. He was extemely giddy and when I was coming back from break I saw the girl leave his room. Flushed and satisfied. I couldn't help but look at him in disgust. He has been annoyed that Kit stopped telling him everything that happens in her life, so he goes and bangs some chick he just met. And to think that he waited for Kit for years and he gave up so easily, but I still can't belive he wasted his first time on some hooker. As the day went on he looked worse and worse until I could hear the gears grinding in his head, and I knew exactly what he was thinking...-what have I done!- the office was silent. And it was ment for a guilt trip... and it worked. About an hour after break he noticed something wrong, around the time Biritani, Ed, and Al walked in.
"Has anyone seen Kit?" Everyone in the room nodded. Even the three walking in.
"I met her in the bathroom... and..." everyone waited for Riza to continue.
"Yes lieutenant?" Roy was egging her on. But she never answered.
"I met her heading down the hall...," I said. "She looked like she'd been..." he raised and eyebrow but I kept quiet.
"We saw her in the cafeteria." Said falman refering to himself fury and Breda. "She looked..." they glanced at eachother trying to think of what to say, but agreed on silence.
"We saw her leaving, she was in a hurry so I didnt stop her." Said Biritani picking up on the foul vibe in the room.
"But." Ed said, "she looked like she'd been- oof!- What in the hell was that for!" Biritani punched him in the gut.
"Take Al outside," she said.",and get rid of the cat he has." Ed nodded, and left with Al.
Biritani P.O.V
"Why do I have the feeling you aren't going to tell me what happened." Asked Roy.
"Are you just picking up that vibe mustang!" I spat.
"Colonel we all can smell sex on you so admit it. You slept with that blonde hooker as your first time and kit happened to walk in while you were preoccupied." Said Havoc. Roys jaw dropped and Riza shot Havoc a glare.
"Your first time Mustang?" I asked in disbelief. Roy blushed.
"Havoc I thought you said you wouldn't tell anyone." Roy mummbled. Even Riza looked shocked.
"Why sir? The women have been trying to sleep with you ever since you hit puberty." Said Riza.
"Well its just-" Roy started. "Y- you all now I love Kit don't you?" The room nodded in unison.
"I thought," he sighed ", I don't know what I was thinking."
"You know it was wasted effort." Said Riza. He sighed and looked misrable
"I know."
"I didn't mean it the way you're thinking." She continued.
"The reason it was pointless is because that would only ruin anything she felt for you IF she did." He looked even more torn down than before.
"Come on Roy," I said. "Lets go find her."
She didn't answer her door when we knocked so she was ouut at the moment.
"Sorry Roy." I said "if she's not here then I know how to help you." He looked almost sick. I could see what he was thinking just by looking in his eyes. Please tell me this is just a bad dream. I'll wake up and everything will be better. I turned and left.
"Sorry Roy, I'm in a hurry. Ed, Al and I are getting on the next train to Lior."
°~°{ Can't you see that you're smothering me,
Holding to tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be,
Has fallen apart right in front of you (Caught in the undertow)
(Just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you (Caught in the undertow)
(Just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take
(Chorus x2)}°~°
Kit P.O.V
"BIRITANI! ED! AL! What are you guys doing here!" I said frantically, I never told Biritani about Zane killing everyone. I was going to wait until she was older.
"The furher sent us to back up the haed of the operation. Which I'm guessing is you." I grabbed her arm and led her down an alley.
"Ok Britt I was going to wait and tell yiu this when you're older, but you need to know what we're up against. The one who is mudering people here is the same one who killed our family."
"Who!"
"Its-"
""ZANE!" Biritani cried cutting me off. She went to run toward him but I grabbed her arm.
"Hey! Let go kit!"
"Biritani he's the one who..." it took her a second to catch on, but when she did her face slowly turned to horror.
"Yeah, I killed them," he smirked. ", did you tell her how I did it?"
"Zane! Don't -"
"First I paralyzed them with alchemy, then I skin them alive." I felt sick. I punched him across the face to distract him then I went to run the other way when I noticed Kiko blocking the only exit. Zane opened his trench coat and reveiled a large stash of knives, he took his time picking one. We were out matched. Before I knew it Kiko was behind me. She went for my leg. I grabbed her, and threw her over my shoulder at Zane. He had pulled a knife and was inspecting it carefully when Kiko landed on it.
"Well bye bye baby, oh well we just found out anyway." I got sick. She was pregnant! He ignored us and practically dragged Kiko out. Once Britt snapped out of shock she punched me in the stomache and tried to kick me, but I blocked it. After a while of her standing there, thinking, she held out her hand and helped me up.
"Sorry." I nodded and we started towards the hotel room. I put my hands in my pockets and i felt some papers. I took them out and unfolded the first one.
'Yes I know what it means -guess who.'
I trashed it. He got the meanings mixed up with the yellow rose the moron. Theres no way he would love me.
°~°{ And I know
I may end up failing to,
But I know
You were just like me,
With someone disappointed in you
(Chorus)
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there (I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there (I'm tired of being what you want me to be)}°~°
Biritani went on up to the room. I stay outside and opened the second note. Kiko had slipped it into my pocket before I trew her.
I'm sick of covering up for Zane and with a child on the way I realize I need to make a more serious approach. I will not resist going to jail, but if you kill Zane and help me I will have you take care of the child. I don't trust Zane and I'm sure you have no reason to help me...
... she gave me the address to where they were hiding. Before I left, possibly falling for a trap I blocked the doors to the hotel room useing alchemy, and putting different metals and minerals in the blockage to make it harder to break down.
Biritani P.O.V
"Let me get this straight," I said to Roy who was waiting in our hotel room when we got there.
"The second the furher told you about Kit coming to Lior you ran to the train station, forgot to pack your things, and barely caught the train on its way out, and you couldn't find us getting off at the station so you came to the only hotel in Lior said you were one of the people working on this case, and baisically broke intobour room." He gave me a sheepish smile.
"Sorry I just needed to talk to her."
"Fat chance, she'll be out all night, all day, until we kill her brother."
"HER WHAT!" He said surprised.
"Her brother the one who killed our family."
"WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN!" I was stunned, Roy didn't know.
"... a month before Ed and Al commited the taboo."
"H- how come she never said anything?" He looked absolutely heart broken.
"Don't take it personally, if she had the choice she would have kept it to herself, I just found out that Zane was the killer." Edward went to go downstairs to grab a bit to eat, but the door wouldn't budge. He threw his weight against it. Still nothing. Al tried, but the door remained closed.
"Well either Kit wants to do something alone or Zane wants to take us out one at a time, either way this isn't good." I said. Ed tried to transmute but the deconstruction stopped after he got past the door. Ed didn't know the breakdown formula for the wall blocking us in.
Kit P.O.V
I carefully approached the limestone cave, I saw lights on deep within the cave. I got close enough to see Zane peeling the skin off of his latest victim. I was going to puke. I closed my eyes, and thought of a plan. Then I got a brilliant idea. If I work fast then no one will know and Zane won't be expecting anything.
"Dearest Kiko, you are such a dissapointment just like my sister. She never trusted me or followed her big brothers example." I then reslized he was talking to the corpse he was skinning. It was Kiko, he had skinned Kiko alive after she was stabbed. I had to put my hand over my mouth to keep from screaming. I turned away for a second, bad mistake. He was instantly behind me. I caught a glimpse of him. He looked sane, a normal person wouldn't think that he would be so deranged. Did he threaten Kiko to do the things she did? Or was he just a partner to her.
"Kiko taught me some things." He used his alchemy to paralyze me.
"FINALLY! This will be a treat!"
Zane P.O.V
Once she was down and out, I took a moment to remember the good old days. When she was little she would copy everything I did, when I got used to it I would try to get her to do everything I said, and hopefully she would help me in the assassination of our family, but she went off to join the military. she even ignored the letters I sent. I am very dissapointed in you sister. I took out my finest blade and put the blade to her wrist. I stopped after I made a small incision in her wrist. I felt for a pulse. Nothing. I put the blade under her nose to see if the blade fogged from the release of breath. Nothing.
I sighed.
Part2 - Shattered by Trading Yesterday
°~°{ And I've lost who I am,
And I can't understand
Why my heart is so broken
Rejecting your love,
without,
Love gone wrong
lifeless words carry on,
But I know
All I know is
that the ends beginning
Who I am from the start
Take me home to my heart
Let me go,
And I will run
I will not be silent
All this time spent in vain
Wasted years
Wasted gain
All is lost
hope remains
And this war's not over
There's a light,
There's a sun taking all shattered ones
To the place we belong
And his love will conquer
(X2)
(And his love will conquer all)
(And his love will conquer all)
Yesterday I died
Tomorrows bleeding
I fall into your sunlight}°~°
Roy P.O.V
We finally got the door knocked down, and we all ran out of the hotel. We stuck together, we mainly checked the alleyways.
"Guys look!" Said Biritani pointing to a man casually walking out of the alleyway acriss the street
'That's Zane, I wonder what he was doing there?" After he was gone we made our way to the alley, Biritani got there first. She screamed. Then I saw the body skin completely removed. Biritani fell to her knees, and started crying.
"Kit she saw momma like this! Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god." Ed sat next to her and put his arms around her.
Al called the police.
The police insisted to inspect the scene and they would give us any evidence found to go to central h.q about an hour after the invertigation began they founf something belonging to the victim. It was a silver pocket watch... with kits name engraved on the back. I was crying before it completely registered. This wasn't like losing hughes. He gave me something to work for so that he didn't die in vain. But... I had nothing anymore. It felt like my life was ripped to shreds. At the end of the investigation they took the body in to check the dental records, we didn't stick around to hear the bad news. Biritani had gotten even more hysterical. I sat beside her.
"What's wrong." She inhaled sharply.
"We a fight before she dissapeared. Sh- sh- she told me... He told me how he killed them, our family, and everyone scince. He would paralyze them and make them live through the first part of- part of..." she couldn't finish before uncontrollably crying. Ed put his arm around her. He had cried as well but not as near as much as Biritani and I had.
"I overheard what he said." Ed admitted.
"He paralyzes his victims and skins them alive." I stood up, unable to hold it anymore I went to the bathroom and threw up.
"I envy you Biritani." I said. "At least she forgave you in the end, I doubt that she'll ever firgive me."
"R- roy." She said. She didn't address me as colonel but I wasn't going to push formalities, not when we're all falling apart.
"I promised her I wouldn't say anything, but... she loved you, you moron. You were to busy making her jealous to she was to stubborn and full of pride to tell you." She blurted it out so fast I almost didn't register the meanings of the words. I felt my lip quiver. I turned and walked out of their hotel room and into mine. I sat on the bed, I wasn't really staring at anything. Just the blank wall. I pulled out my gun. One more hour to hope for a merical. Though I knew it wouldn't come.
Kit P.O.V
I had everything set up the second Zane steps foot in his cave he gets sliced to peices with fine wire that I sat up in the mouth of the cave. I went to pull out my pocket watch to check the time and realized it was gone. Kiko must've taken it when she put the note in my pocket. I froze. Zane took the body away to display it in an alleyway for someone to find, they would call in the military officers who run the investigation to inspect the body and the only two things identifying the body is my engraved pocket watch, and the dental records. I didn't have time to argue with myself because here comes Zane looking Too confudent. Until he ran into the wire. It cut him deep in some places, but nothing fatal, unless he tried to pull free.I clapped my hands together.
"Two options. One: die here. Two: tell me who you're working for. I doubt you just went around picking up random girls."
"Smart observation sis." He spat. But he relented.
"His name is Boedy. I don't know him personaly so thats all I know about him." I walked around tied his hands together and left.
"Where are you going!"
"To get the cops, they'll decide how long to put you away. And technically if it comes to death row you didn't die HERE." I left him speechless.
About forty-five minutes later I made it back to the room. I open the door. All six pairs of eyes landed on me.
"...what?" I asked. Shadows covered Biritanis face.
"You're supposed to be dead."
"Oh hell." She was pissed.
"D- don't be upset," I said quickly. "Kiko grabbed my pocket watch while we were in the alley! I swear!" She tackled me. I was expecting a fist in the face, but instead I got a bear hug. She was stronger than the major when she wanted to be. Ed and Al joined in after a minute. I was under a dog pile of kids and suffocating. And Al's heavy armor wasn't helping my clausterphobia at all.
"C- cant breathe!" I gasped and they got up. All three of them were trying not to cry with relief.
"I love you guys to."
To be continued...
So what do you think so far?
Please comment.
Next time: will Roy kill himself?
