Sunlight peeked into the room. Riza's eyes cracked open, wincing at the bright sunlight.

'…Oh, that's right. Roy turned into a vampire…he sucked my blood…stupid man came through the window…more blood…'

She shifted slightly with a groan, but stopped as she felt something warm against her back. She froze.

"Finally awake are you?" A deep voice rumbled behind her.

Riza slowly turned her head and looked behind her shoulder. Roy was smirking at her, propping himself with his elbow with his other arm slung over her waist. Riza flushed slightly, and nearly knocked away as she sat up quickly.

"Wha-what are you doing here?" The blonde stammered, edging away from the man. Roy chuckled, bringing himself up.

"I fell asleep besides you. Someone has to watch over you; you never know when that lunatic will come after you."

"When did you wake up?"

"About an hour ago."

"Why didn't you wake me up!? And where's Hughes?"

Roy scratched his head. "I didn't want to wake you. You probably were exhausted, so I let you sleep. And Hughes is on the couch."

Riza pulled off the covers off of her, but stopped short as she noticed Roy's arm still around her waist. "Roy…you can let go of me."

Roy blinked, finally noticing what he did before blushing slowly, quickly drawing back his arm. "Sorry."

Riza smiled. "It's fine. We should go see Hughes now." She stood up from the mattress, and began walking out of the room. She still had on her clothes from last night. Roy followed after her.

Hughes was in the kitchen, frying some bacon and toast. He heard footsteps padding to him and looked up to see the two officers. He grinned. "Sleep well?"

Riza nodded. "Very. I feel much better from last night." She walked over and sat down at the table where the food was being served. Roy followed suit. "Same, especially sleeping with something warm and comfortable. He said, smirking at Riza who glared at him.

Maes laughed and slid 3 plates onto the table, piled with food. "Well then, you all feel ready to talk about last night?"

The other two nodded.

"So, first off, that man Reine. He said that a human created him by creating a chimera or bat and with some dead human for an experiment. I have a feeling that he was killed later on."

Roy picked at his bacon. "If he were to drink more blood of others, they would turn into vampires also. The human balance would become corrupted, filled with vampires." His head snapped up and looked at Riza.

"Since I'm a vampire…and I drank your blood…does that make you a vampire also!?" Roy exclaimed with a horrified face plastered onto his face.

Hughes waved his hands around, trying to calm him down. "Wait, wait Roy!" He stood up from his chair, crossing over to Riza and pulling her mouth open and peered inside. After a few moments, he pulled away with a happy grin on his face and turned back to Roy.

"Nope! Not a vampire! No fangs at all!"

"But I bit her! She…what?!?!?!"

"Roy, remember when we were younger your aunt used to read us some books?"

"Yeah, now that I think about it. What does that have to do with this?"

Hughes pointed his finger up. "I remember that she told us a story about vampires. She said that if someone was bit, they would turn…uh…"

"Well?"

"I can't remember. BUT I'm sure you have that book somewhere Roy." Hughes stood up, striding to a nearby bookshelf and searching through it.

Roy turned to Riza. "Are you feeling alright? Do you feel anything at all?"

Riza shook her head. "Nothing at all."

Roy fidgeted and glanced back at her face. "Riza…I want to apologize."

Riza blinked. "Apologize for what? You didn't do anything wrong."

"Of course I did, and still am!" He paused, rubbing his temples before resuming. "You're letting me drink your blood, while I do nothing in return. It's just that…that you would be mad or something because I'm just using you like this."

…

…

Roy was surprised as he heard the blonde lieutenant laugh. Riza looked up at his confused face, still laughing brightly.

"Roy, there's nothing to be sorry for. You're already giving me something in return."

Roy blinked slowly. "What?"

"Your safety. As my job as your aide, I am supposed to keep you safe from any harm…which is merely impossible most of the time…" She murmured the last part quietly. "As long as you're safe, I will do anything to help you." She smiled.

Roy smiled, "Thank you…Riza…I can always count on you."

The moment was ruined as Maes bounded back into the kitchen, holding a leathered book at his side. He slammed the book down and sat down on his seat at the table. He looked up at the two, who were merely sitting quietly. "Did something happen…?"

"'Course not, now about the book Hughes…?"

"Oh right! Anyways…it says…" He flipped pages in the book. He finally stopped, reading aloud. "Vampires are known as blood suckers, night peers, etc. If one was to be bitten by one, they would turn into a Half-Vampire, but if they were to completely consume ones blood until they are deprived of blood, they will turn into a full fledged Vampire. When half-vampires are to suck blood from a person, that person won't turn into a vampire, but merely die if were to be consumed of blood completely." Hughes paused, before sighing and shutting the book.

"In other words, Roy is a half vampire. If he COMPLETELY drinks Riza's blood, she'll die, and Roy will turn into a real vampire."

Roy groaned his head dropping into his hands on the table. "Great, I'm on the brink of killing my lieutenant and becoming a full vampire. HOW GREAT IS THAT?"

Riza shook his shoulders gently. "Roy, that won't happen. You won't become a vampire that's for sure. We'll hunt down the vampire Reine, and have you cured."

Roy slowly looked at her, a deep expression on his face. God dammit, why did she always have to be this difficult? No matter what, he could never protect her. "Riza, I'm worried for you. Reine is hunting after you, and I could kill you!"

"I trust you Roy; I don't think you would kill me."

The corners of his mouth twitched into a small smile.

Hughes scratched his chin. "So our missions it to hunt and kill Reine to cure Roy. During that time though, Roy will have to drink your blood. Are you going to be alright with that?"

Riza nodded. "I said I would do anything to help him."

Hughes smiled a little and then stood up, walking over to the coat hanger and pulled his coat on. "Well, since that's settled, I'm going to go back to my house. Gracia's waiting for me. Call me if you get any news about Reine alright?"

Roy nodded. "Yeah, see you later Hughes." The door closed after the father, leaving the two officers in silence.

Riza coughed lightly, and walked back and began clearing the table. "Are you going to be alright Roy?"

The colonel walked over to her watching her from behind. "Yeah, I should be. I'm just worried for you. Who knows when that man will come after you?"

Riza sighed and brought the dishes to the sink, washing them slowly. "Roy, I'll be fine. Nothing will happen to me so don't worry." She suddenly felt strong arms wrap around her waist, and was brought backwards to a warm chest. She blushed madly and glanced behind her. "R-Roy what are you-."

"I want to be able to protect you Riza. You're always by my side, and I want to be able to return the favor." He murmured in her ear softly, holding her closer.

Riza softly looked at him from behind her shoulder. "Roy, I already told you. I promise I'll be fine, as long as you will be too."

Roy glumly looked at her before looking down and resting his head on her shoulder. "Let's just stay like this a while longer…"

Riza smiled a bit and then began washing the dishes again. The sounds of water running and clinking of dishes were heard as Roy held the blonde close.

"Ow! Riza winced and brought her hand up, looking closely at it.

"What happened?" Roy lifted his head looking over her shoulder.

"I cut myself with a knife on accident." She looked around, mumbling something that sounded like 'tissues'. Before she could even step away, Roy grabbed her hand from behind and inspected it closely, before he brought it to his mouth. He slowly licked and sucked, drawing the blood away. Riza blushed wildly. She couldn't really get used to the feeling of his tongue, even after he drank her blood two times.

Roy glanced at her face, still holding her hand to his mouth. He noticed her surprised look and flushed, pulling her hand away.

"Uh, sorry. When I saw the blood…dammit I'm doing it again."

"It's okay."

Once again, silence enveloped the two as they stared into each other's eyes. Roy began leaning forwards, but Riza noticed what they were doing and backed off, looking to the side. "W-we should get ready for work."

Roy paused, but then nodded flushing slightly before heading to the bathroom leaving the lieutenant alone in the kitchen.

Riza suddenly blushed, her hands coming up to her heated face. 'That was too close. What was that just now…?' She shook her head, and dried her hands before heading to the bedroom to get changed.

Meanwhile with Roy, he was leaning over the sink in the bathroom, the palm of his hand covering his red face. 'What got into me…?! Damn Hughes stuffing things into my head.' He sighed, turning on the faucet and splashing his face with the cool water. 'Hopefully work will go much better.' He paused. 'Do I really love…?' He shook his head, and proceeded to turn off the water and head to work with his lieutenant.
