Crime and Punishment

Roy watched vigilantly as he cautiously moved from one tree to another. Aiming carefully, he shot one of his soldiers down with a paint gun. It was one of those mock wars again where soldiers have to pretend they're in a real war and shoot down the enemy.

So far, it was a fifty-fifty win for both sides since only one person was left on each side. He was going to have so much fun with his last prey. Crouching down, he searched and finally found footprints on the dirt. Smiling, he knew he had finally found his-

"Found you."

He blinked blankly and saw Riza on top of him with a paint gun pointed against his chest. Her eyes were practically dancing in merriment. "This is the fourth time colonel...you should shape up a bit." She scolded sternly in contrast with her amused expression.

"What? I shot down all those people on your team and I'm not even a sniper. I'm an alchemist, and you're saying I need to shape up." He scowled.

"That's no excuse. If you don't pay attention to what's above you, you're going to get killed in a real war."

"You're so...strict."

Riza raised an eyebrow while Roy shrunk and pressed himself against the dirt timidly. He had made her mad...big uh-oh.

"Is that a crime?"

"Ehehehe...um...no?"

"Well I know your crime sir..." She leaned in closer until their nose barely touched and flicked off the safety caps.

"You do now eh? What's my punishment?" He asked boldly, it was his turn to raise an eyebrow now. He was still the colonel, and she the lieutenant. The gun didn't scare him. She couldn't do anything bad to him...could she?

"Hmmm..." She thought for a minute while Roy tried not to fidget and fought the urge not to lean forward. She was so damn close! Just let him have his punishment already...liked the last four times. He smirked at the memories.

Were they good...

"I know." Riza suddenly said brightly, breathing sweet hot breaths against his mouth. "I will..."

"Will..." he echoed softly.

"Leave you untouched today." She said finally and got up with a mocking grin.

"W-What?!" He blurted. A wave of disappointment washed over his heart. Now, she was being really cruel.

"Of course...I meant...untouched by me...but not this baby over here." She laughed and shot the last of her bullets right through his heart.

"Evil...evil...evil..." He mumbled and got up painfully. The shot hurts like hell."Evil...evil...evil..." He continued, trailing after his 'supposed' protector. She was more like a soldier from Hell than some protector.

"Cheer up Roy, its not like you haven't been punished before." She said smoothly over her shoulders.

He suddenly grinned at the thought despite the minor pain in his chest. Now those punishments from before were directly sent from heaven.
