AN: Hey!! I said I would update every day didn't I? Well I have! I keep my promises and today is May 18th and I updated yesterday. And also, feel free to ask me if you don't know what any of the romaji means. And I daresay I think I'm improving.

P.S. I will also be writing a sequel to this fic. We've come back, again

Sate...Chapter 8.

Chapter 8

Naze ore nii taskéni? ( Why save me?)(AN: The chapter is named after a quote one character says and you can guess who)

Ed and Al dragged Envy into a deserted shack farther away. There were few furniture there but the house seemed sturdy enough and with Al piling the furniture against the door, it would be okay until the Nazis caught up to them. Ed pulled the patched greying curtains over the small window on the side.

"Full Metal," Envy called out once he was perfectly settled on a small bed in the corner.

Ed's attention went back to the green Homunculus, "Nani?"

But Al interrupted them, "Nii-san!! Kochi!!" He pulled the see-through curtains aside and pointed a something outside.

Ed rushed over, "Shimata! They're coming! Envy we're going! Follow us if you don't want to be dragged again!"

"I can move on my own!!" Envy hopped out the door after the two alchemists, or rather, former alchemists.

"Dokoda?! Keep a lookout!" A young Nazi lieutenant cried out, pointing frantically everywhere in alarm. The other soldiers looked around in response. A firm hand grabbed his arm and held it still. The lieutenant swiftly turned around to face the hand's owner.

"R-r-efus-sama!!" he cried out.

"I know that you wish to search for them, but Suruko-sama has ordered us to retreat. You should not risk losing your rank, you who recognized Envy despite his disguise. May luck shine upon you."

Refus walked away, not turning to look back at Lieutenant Foster.

Ed pointed to a nearby building, "Here. We can talk here."

"Shoto matte, Nii-san. Isn't that where Alphons used to live? They know where this is!!"

"No one would suspect us to come back here." Envy's voice rang out. He walked to the building, carefully examining it. He turned the doornob. It was open, of course.

After entering, Ed had prepared dinner with Alphons' left over food. Miraculously, the food had survived since it was in the freezer. Envy looked hesitantly down at his plate.

"Doshtano? You can eat you know?" Al said gently, when he realised Envy wasn't eating while his brother gobbled up his food ravenously.

"Nazé ore nii taskénii?" Envy asked, still staring down at his plate.

"No reason," Ed replied. His mouth was stuffed with beans and his voice slightly muffled.

"Nii-san!! You said you would explain!"Al protested. He had swallowed an entire mouthful just before. Ed's mouth, was still atrociously full.

"I didn--" Ed chocked, "Blaagggh!! ACCK!! hack!! hack!!"

"Anyways. Ignore him and allow me to explain, Envy,"Al turned away, and looked at Envy with a malicious grin on his face.

"A-a--al-l!!"Ed burst out, still chocking on his beans. Envy noticed that his milk jug was full, unlike his and Al's.

"We kinda needed your help--"Al was interrupted by Envy's gasp.

"I was searching for you so that I could help you!! Hmph. How ironic. To think that I feel like helping you. Ah well."Envy replied. He was eating now, savouring the dinner's taste with each bite.

"Let's just continue tomorrow, since Nii-san is being too noisy." Al grinned and replied.

"H-e-e-yy!! It was your fault Al!!" Ed protested, after regaining his breath.

-Well you were the one being stubborn!!

-Sometimes being stubborn is good!! Don't you know that AL!!

-WELL THIS TIME IT'S BAD!!

-I"M NOT STUPID!!

-Hey Hagane no ochibi-chan, you didn't drink your milk.

-WHO DID YOU CALL A DIMINUTIVE WHO LOOKS LIKE HE"S LESS THAN 8 YEARS OLD!!

-Nii-san! He just told you you didn't drink your milk!!

-I HATE MILK!!

-Come on Envy, let's get some sleep.

-HEY AL,ENVY!! COME BACK YOU--MMMPHPHGRPhGRPHH!!

Al had stuffed his kleenex in Ed's mouth.
