A/N: Sorry. I promise I'll absolutely finish this fanfic this month. I'm going to try for posting every 2-3 days. Why? Because I freaked out when I realized it was already October (thanks to FMA Day and the update to the -Man manga). Next month I'm doing NaNoWriMo again so I probably wouldn't be able to update even if I tried so I must finish this.

On another note, I promised someone that the next fic I'm posting is my Shizuo fic. Unlike this spur-of-the-moment fic, I have more pre-written chapters for that. Though I will probably post the Edward Elric oneshot (set in the Conqueror of Shamballa movie) as a semi-teaser of my Ed fic (set in Brotherhood) as well.

"KOOOOMUUUUUIIIIII!"

The cafeteria practically shook with the volume of the loud yell of an enraged Kasia.

"What's going on?" Lenalee asked, receiving a shrug from an equally confused Allen in response. Now curious, Allen cautiously poked his head out the cafeteria door only to nearly have it lopped off. Komui zoomed by with Kasia in pursuit, furiously slashing her sword at him.

"Haha! You should see the look on your face, Allen!"

Allen flinched in surprise at the sudden appearance of Lavi next to him. He must have been following after the two to watch Komui get hunted down.

"Lavi, do you know why she's so angry? I've never seen her like this before," Lenalee prompted, staring in the direction the two ran in.

"It's really simple actually. Komui did the number one thing you are absolutely to never do to Kasia: He insulted her coat of arms." Lavi explained with a careless wave of his hand.

Seeing the confused looks his companions gave him, he continued. "You know those patches on her sleeves? They're symbols of a family's identity, usually within the families of nobles and royalty. They're basically family crests and have been passed down through generations. Since she was the only child in her family, she inherited both from her mother and her father. Those are very important to her. Insulting them means insulting her and her family's honor. A definite no-no!"

Lavi had a secretive gleam in his eye, meaning there were some things about Kasia that she wasn't ready to share with others yet.

Lenalee, though she noticed, chose to ignore that look. "Does that mean she's royalty, or a noblewoman? That would certainly explain a lot about her habits," she wondered aloud.

"Who knows~," was Lavi's vague answer.

The trio's heads snapped back in the direction Komui and Kasia ran when Komui's terrified screams started getting loud again.

"Ah, I suppose I should save Komui now. This chase is getting boring~." After Komui zipped by again, Lavi held out his arm and caught Kasia as she was running by. Using the momentum, Lavi swung her into him and slammed his lips to hers.

There was a clang of metal hitting the floor and a surprised squeak. Lavi released her almost as swiftly as he caught her.

Kasia let out a heavy sigh. "Taking it slow is really hard for you, isn't it Lavi?" She received a cheeky grin in reply.
