Top Note: Okay, another chapter. I worked on it fairly well so, here we go!
A COUPLE DAYS LATER….
"Hello~!"
One military officer caught sight of her and his jaw dropped. She smiled brightly. She walked proudly to her destination. On her way there, many officers stopped and stared. She always greeted with a cheerful 'hello' and kept walking.
XoXo… In the Office …XoXo
Seiren yawned as she stretched with her arms dangling above her head. She rested her head on the desk content and started to drift asleep.
"Where is my darling Seiren~?" a voice thundered melodically.
Everyone, including Hawkeye, looked up and stared. Their eyes started to widen as the face came into view. Seiren's jaw dropped as she stared at the woman with her eye twitching. The curly blond haired woman disregarded all of the stares and just scanned the room for her target. Her violet eyes lit up with happiness as she saw Seiren.
"Seiren~!" she cried as she ran over and engulfed her in a huge bear hug. "Oh my darling Seiren~! Why haven't you called me? I am so proud of you~! If only you called me sooner!~ We have so much to do~!"
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT AUNTIE AMBER?" Seiren shouted as Amber smothered the girl in her chest. "I can't breathe!"
Amber pouted as she released the girl allowing her to breathe. "Now that was uncalled for. Sure, my breast size is a little on the large side but that doesn't mean you should just scream it," she said as she crossed her arms over her chest.
Seiren groaned. Damn it Auntie Amber…Had to come to East HQ today? Seiren thought. She slapped herself on the forehead as she stared at the blond woman. She was wearing a fairly short black skirt, one would call it a miniskirt. She also had on a red and black lace dress shirt which the neckline was very low on the woman's torso so it pronounced her chest. On her feet were pointed black heels. Seiren rolled her eyes. Auntie Amber never changes.
XoXo… Seiren's POV …XoXo
"Can you tell me how you even got here?" I asked annoyed. She always caused attention by…er…unwanted visitors. One of the reasons I rather stay with Aunt Riza.
"What else? I walked here!" Auntie Amber said enthusiastically. "Many people here have been so kind to me! They're very hospitable! I still can't see how you don't like the military…the workers here aren't half bad."
I sighed as I tried to sort things out. Hospitable? Kind? Her in a miniskirt? She is so dense sometimes… "Why'd you come here Auntie Amber?"
Her eyes lit up as she hugged me again. "You're finally showing some interest in blood~! Why else would I be coming over to such a dingy and horrible place!"
I sweat dropped. "I thought just a minute ago you were saying how nice the people were…"
"They were just staring at my chest sweetie," Auntie Amber replied. I rolled my eyes. "Sooo, who's the lucky blood winner today!"
My entire face flushed. My eye twitched, a bad habit I never learned to control. I stared at her in shock as she continued on with her happiness. "A-Auntie Amber-!" I said blushing red.
"What? You shouldn't be embarrassed. And it's not like they don't know about-" I stopped her short as I put a hand over her mouth silencing her.
"Shh! See! This is why I don't like you visiting here!" I said trying to make her stay quiet.
"Mmmmph!" she said under my hand. I rolled my eyes.
"Will you stop talking about this once I let go?" I asked slowly. She nodded. I released my grip and she jumped up in midair.
"MY LITTLE SEIREN'S FINALLY A REAL VAMPIRE~!" She shouted.
"I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO STOP TALKING ABOUT THAT!" I shouted blushing. She hummed a small tune as she ignored me.
XOXOXOXOXOXO
"Hey Al, what time is it?" Ed asked as he stared at his younger brother, unfortunately who was now a suit of armor.
"About 6:00. Why?" Alphonse asked, unusually cheerful.
Ed looked to the side as he stuck his hands in his pockets. "Just wanted to know when to meet Colonel Bastard for that 'meeting'," Ed replied.
Alphonse sighed as he looked around. Ed glanced at his younger brother with guilt flash threw his golden orbs. It may not be obvious, but whenever he looks at his younger brother being so cheerful, it strikes him with grief and guilt. It was because of his stupid mistake that Alphonse was put in this state. He always blamed himself for that, that's why he promised to get his body back. No matter what. He reminded himself.
"Hey, brother. Do you think we should go check how that girl is doing?" Al asked.
Ed shrugged. "She could hold her own."
"But right after she fell, she looked really shaken up," Al persisted. "Can we just go check the
café just in case?"
Ed smirked. "Al," Ed drawled out. "You think she's pretty don't you?"
Al would blush if he could. He waved his arms around in denial. "N-No! What makes you think that! I just suggested we should see how she was doing!"
Ed chuckled. "Okay fine," Ed mumbled as they walked off to the café.
XOXOXOXOXOXO
"She left?" Al asked.
"Yeah," said a small redhead sadly. "She left a little after you two did. She didn't feel so well, so she went home. She said she was going to come in later in the week, so if your concerned about her, come back in a couple days."
"Okay. Thanks anyways!" Al called as they left the small building.
"So what now Al?" Ed asked.
"We go back to Eastern HQ," Al replied. "The meeting's soon."
Ed groaned. "Can we ditch it?"
"BROTHER!"
COUPLE MINUTES LATER…
"Damn it…" Ed muttered under his breath as he stood in front of the office doors. He glanced in Al's direction to find him waving him in. Ed sighed and/or groaned. More or less both. He put his gloved hand over the doorknob, letting it hover over it. He put his hand down and let it hang at his side. Screw it… Then Edward thrust open the doors making it ricochet off of the walls in a loud thud.
All eyes darted to the door as they stared at Edward and Alphonse for a while. Then they all exchanged their own greeting. "Hey Ed, Al," Havoc said with a raised hand.
"Hello Havoc," Al said kindly and bowed.
"Yo," Ed said simply. Then he put his hands behind his head. "Colonel bastard wanted me?"
"Oh yes," Hawkeye said as she gestured to the door. "He's in his office."
"Thanks lieutenant Hawkeye," Ed said as he walked by and into Roy's office. Ed roughly opened the doors as he didn't even bother knock. "You wanted to see me?" Ed asked.
"Fullmetal, couldn't you knock?" Mustang asked with an irritated sigh.
"I could, but I choose not to," Ed said offhandedly.
Seiren's eyes widened as her hands flew to her nose, covering it with both hands. Damn it…that smell again… Seiren thought as she scrunched up her eyebrows in strain. Seiren's heart started beating faster and faster and her cheeks flushed white. Amber eyed her with an unknown expression as she danced her fingers over her thigh. She looked over to the blond boy whom had a scowl on his face. Her lip twitched as she stopped tapping her fingers.
"Oh, Colonel. I don't believe you've introduced us yet," Amber said standing up, with a coat now surrounding her body.
"Who are you?" Al asked.
"My name is Amber Coraline. Who may you be?" Amber asked, gesturing to both new faces. "I do not believe that we have met."
"I'm Alphonse Elric. And this grumpy person," Al said as he gestured to Ed. Ed glared at him. "Is my older brother Edward."
"Enchanted to meet you boys," Amber said as she moved out of the way a bit to show Seiren. "And this is my niece, Seiren Smith. Seiren, please introduce yourself."
Seiren shot her head up as she stared at the woman for an amount of time. Amber had a smile dripping with honey. It was sickeningly sweet. Seiren paused unsure whether to stand up or not. Amber flashed her eyes open and gave Seiren a beckoning look a she jerked her head in the Elric's direction.
"Seiren," Amber said with a small glint in her eyes. Seiren swallowed as she walked forward, the smell overwhelming her. Seiren choked but covered up by sticking her hand out, under Amber's orders.
"Seiren Smith," she said timidly. Something about Amber's gaze caused her to shrink under intimidation. The youngest Elric shook her hand and nodded his head.
"You're that waitress from the café," Al said. Seiren nodded and Al let go of her hand. "Brother, introduce yourself."
"Edward Elric," he said as he grasped her hand.
Seiren's eyes flashed over in pain as the same pulse went throughout her body. She hid her eyes as she looked at the floor. "Nice to meet you two," she muttered under her breath.
Amber stared at her as the corner of her mouth twitched again. This time she complied letting her mouth go up into a smirk.
"I believe you three will get along very well."
