I hate the rain. Envy thinks sourly as he walks out of yet another deserted alley, kicking garbage out of his path. He stops short to keep from running into a young man standing in the sidewalk, almost cursing him for being so inconvenient. Why was he just standing there in the way, looking up at the sky like an idiot? Damn humans.

Wait, why was Envy staring at him? Just when he was about to shove past the strange man, he spoke. "I.. I don't know.. It let's you skip over the law of equivalent exchange.."

I guess I'm exceptionally blessed now, Envy thought with a smile. I don't even have to manipulate him into thinking about the Philosopher's Stone.. Keep on thinking about it.. Keep on thinking about your mother.. Come on you freaking human!

Envy, caught up in his own thoughts, jumped when someone across the street cried. A little kid had fallen in a water puddle and was making a big fuss. He looked over at Alphonse, who had a sullen expression on his face that turned into a slight smile.

"I miss that.." The soaked blonde said softly.

"You really are weird," Envy cut himself off to keep from finishing what he had begun to blurt. Alphonse turned, a shocked sound escaping his lips. Maybe he won't recognize me.

"Hey, you're that girl from the alleY! W-when did you get here!"

Damn.

Envy rolls his eyes, slipping into his persona as a sarcastic teenage girl. "Long enough to hear something about equivalent exchange and that you missed something." Like your Mom, Alphonse? Do you miss your Mom? Don't worry, you'll see her soon... Very soon if I can help it..

The younger Elric brother blinked, an embarassed blush spreading over his face. "Well, I-I have to go!" With that, he took off fown the sidewalk and around a corner.

You aren't getting away from me that easily! Envy thought angrily, feeling the Homunculous half of himself tearing at the back of his mind, excited at the oppurtunity. I'm sick of waiting on your ass to make a move! You're going to become my sacrifice!

He took off after him, his skinny teenage girl legs carrying him too slowly. Damn human body! It's too weak to do anything!

He turned the corner, only to skid to a stop when he saw the large frame of Lieutenant Armstrong looming over him. By some sort of new-found luck, he was able to stop before slamming into the brick wall of a man. "Why good evening young lady! You're soaking wet as well!"

"Have you seen a guy with golden hair and eyes?" Envy tried unsucessfully to look around the bulky man's figure.

"Why yes, he went that way!" Armstrong pointed, his discarded shirt falling to the ground as he flexed his muscles in the direction Alphonse had disappeared. For a moment there, Envy swore he saw sparkles in the air.
"Did you really have to rip off your shirt?" Envy growled under his breath as he ran down the sidewalk, fearing he'd never get the disturbing image out of his head. Now which way did you go..?

By the time Envy finally found Alphonse, he was locked in his room. Through the door, he could hear pacing, papers rustling, and Alphonse's faint voice. Not once did the young Elric come out.

Envy smiled when, from where he was sitting down the hallway, he saw one of Mustang's dogs-the one that was supposed to have been paralyzed by Lust, though his name escaped Envy's mind-knocking on Alphonse's door. The young man looked tired, dark circles had long formed under his bloodshot eyes. He was close to his breaking point.

After the dog was gone, he stood, walking to Alphonse's door. By the time the brat came out, Envy had gotten bored and leaned against the opposite wall. "In a hurry?"

"What the hell?"

"I said," Envy, already annoyed with having to be in this body and having to wait so long to get out of it, repeated himself. "Are. You. In. A. Hurry. You catch that or do I have to repeat myself?" Jackass.

Al raised an eyebrow, recognition spreading over his face. "Hey, I remember you! And yes, I kind of am!"

With that, he was gone.

"Dammit! Why does this have to be so hard!" Envy growled, pulling at his hair in frustration before following Alphonse's path down the hallway. He would get his chance again. He at least had an idea of where to find the brat now. He'd just have to back off for a while.

Hopefully this small chapter was at least a tiny bit worth the wait! *nervous laugh*
The next one is the final one, so I'll try to get that one out ASAP..
Much love guys, and thanks so much if you read, and thanks even more if you review! Free hugs! ;D
