This Chapter is devoted to Nikki and Kimiko. We're going to explore some more about their relationship. I hope you enjoyed the lemon but it's time for something sweet... Haha! I made a funny! -cough, cough- ON TO THE STORY!
While Roy and Ed were soundly enjoying tender moment in each others arms, whispers of 'I love you' floating in the air, there were two very shocked figures outside of the bedroom window.
"What the fucking FUCK?!" Kimiko shrieked, gawking at the scene before them. Nikki shushed her half-heartedly and continued to observe her older brother.
"This is certainly interesting, babe." Nikki grinned as Kimiko nodded to her girlfriend. "What do you think my father's gonna do to him once he finds out"
Kimiko gulped. Seargent Mustang almost idied/i when Nikki told him that she was dating Kimiko and then he almost ikilled/i Kimiko when she next came to the house. "I feel for the Fullmetal kid. I'll come to his funeral." Kimiko said with a bit of venom in her voice. Nikki thumped Kimiko in the back of the head and pointed back to the scene. A wicked grin appeared across Nikki face. She smiled and tapped Kimiko on the shoulder. As Kimiko turned around, a quick kiss was placed on her lips, making her blink.
"You wanna totally piss Roy off?" Nikki asked. Kimiko recovered from her shock, grinned, and nodded. "I live for stuff for like that! What's the plan"
Nikki and Kimiko crept up the stairs with two fully charged digital cameras and grotesque intentions, ready to capture what would be the pictures of their lifetime! Standing in front Roy's bedroom door, the two girls counted to 3 and.
"Surprize!" Kimiko and Nikki screamed at the two in bed, snapping candid shots of Roy's shocked face. Ed, half-sleep and slightly oblivious to what was going on, wrapped his arms around Roy's body and laid his head on Roy's chest.
"Make it stooooooop!" Ed slurred. Roy stroked the younger male's hair and shushed him back to sleep. Roy lifted his head and glared at the two girls still taking pictures.
"What the FUCK do you two think you're doing?!" Roy growled softly as not to wake up his little lover. Nikki smirked and said, "We're documenting this moment in history!" Kimiko nodded in agreement and continued taking more picture with very interesting angles.
"This is the kinda stuff that Mustang fangirls would die for!" Kimiko grinned, snapping pictures of Ed and Roy's bodies intertwining in the mess of sheets "I can see it now! 'The Mustangs Badboy, Roy Mustang, was seen with the Military's infamous Fullmetal Alchemist late Saturday morning ...IN BED!!'" Kimiko practically cackled as she snapped more photos. Roy closed his eyes and reached over to the nightstand beside his bed. Nikki's once amused and teasing eyes widen at what he was doing. Roy pulled on a single white glove and aimed in Nikki and Kimiko's general direction.
"You have 5 FUCKING seconds to give me those cameras and get the fuck out of my room." Roy growled at the once giggling teens in his room. Nikki gulped and instinctively hid behind Kimiko.
"C'mon now, Big Bro..." Nikki nervously said, still cowering behind her lover. "You don't really wanna fry us to a crisp do you?" Roy grinned and rubbed two of his fingers together, making sparks. Kimiko rolled her eyes and boldly stepped forward.
"I don't think you wanna play with us, Mr. Mustang" Kimiko sang in a low, threatening voice that made Ed shiver in his sleep. Roy gave her a look that said, 'Try Me'. Kimiko placed her hands over the transmutation circle tattooed on her chest. Roy's eyes widened.
"You wouldn't dare..." Roy growled, growing more and more uncomfortable with each step Kimiko had taken forward. Kimiko smiled an evil smile and transmutated one the glass ink bottles on Roy desk into a black and sinister... miniature pony!
"No, Kimiko!" Roy said as the mini pony charged towards his bed. Roy dismount the bed quickly and ran around the room, fearing for his life. Kimiko was laughing manically as she made the pony aim its tossing head towards the lower body of Roy. Edward was stirring in the bed an no one noticed that the blond was out of his deep sleep. Roy, who was screaming like a girl at this point and time, recklessly snapped at the pony, making it burst into flames. Kimiko cursed under her breath and grabbed another bottle of ink when suddenly.
Ed, who finally registered with was going on, sat up, bear chest and automail showing. He shifted and winced, getting in a comfertable position. His golden eyes were smoldering intensely as he sneered, "You two dumbasses better run for your freakin' lives because I'm about to go 5 types of Fullmetal on you!" Edward rose out of bed and when he tried to walk.
"Ahhh! My ASS!"
"I don't thing you're going anywhere, kiddo." Nikki grinned as she and Kimiko made a fast escape down the stairs.
"That was priceless, babe!" Kimiko laughed as the two girls bolted down the stairs to escape the wrath of Roy and Ed. Once down the stairs, Kimiko and Nikki jumped on Rocket, bareback, and rode though the cherrywood doors of the Mustang Manor. Behind them, Rhonda was yelling something about not riding in the house, which was completely ignored. Nikki wrapped her arms around Kimiko's waist and they rode off to the stable.
The girls rode out to the far west stable and laid in the hay, holding each other closely as they used to when Nikki was at home more. Kimiko placed a kiss on Nikki's temple, holding her closer.
"I've missed you, Nikki. I've missed you so much." Kimiko whispered into Nikki's hair. Nikki sighed contently and said, "I'm sorry, babe." Nikki kissed Kimiko softly "I'll never leave you alone like that ever again. You must have been so lonely with me here"
Kimiko laughed and said, "Lonely? I'm never lonely because you're always with me in mind." Nikki blushed frivolously. "Believe me, you're annoying whines and pouts can get stuck in ANYONES head!" Kimiko smiled and continued, saying, "But I was worried sick"
"I'm not annoying! And why were you worried?!" Nikki asked, offended, "You think I'm not strong enough to hold my own"
"I'm never worried about you fighting, stupid!" Kimiko snorted and rolled her eyes "I'm always worried about you being taking away from me." her tone sobered
"I'm always worried about another trip to the Gate"
Nikki looked into the eyes of her lover and she let a single tear slide down her face. Kimiko kissed the tear and then kissed Nikki softly. Kimiko had been one of the people who tried so hard to get Nikki back from the Gate. Though Kimiko was young, she posessed amazing alchemic strength and was more than willing to sacrifice her life for the one she loved. "Don't worry, hunny." Nikki said, her voice thick with unshed tears "I'm never going back there unless I absolutly have to"
Kimiko smiled and snuggled against Nikki even tighter than before. Nikki gasped a little and then settled into the embraced, glad for the time alone.
Nikki and Kimiko had dosed off in each others arms, laying in the hay peacefully until a shocked gasp awakened them. Nikki and Kimiko slowly opened their eyes to see a shocked Roy and Ed standing above them. Roy had a look of shock and awe on his face while Edward was still in pain for obvious reasons.
"What the hell is going on here?" Roy demanded to know. Nikki and Kimiko sat up, rubbing their eyes. Nikki opened her mouth to speak but before she could, Kimiko did.
"How long has what been going on? Our relationship?" Kimiko smirked. Roy rolled his eyes and huffed as a sign for her to continue. "About 6 years now"
Roy's eyes widened and he turned to his younger sister asking, "Please tell me she lying, Nikki. Please, Please, PLEASE tell me she's lying..." Nikki lowered her head in slight shame and whispered a barely audible, "No" in the general direction of her older brother. Roy, who was already mad from the two teens previous actions, became in raged and charged towards Kimiko with one hand prepared to snap. Ed, who had been standing beside him the whole time, grabbed him with his automail arm and held him back.
"Cool it, Mustang!" Ed sneered softly. Roy snatched away from Ed's grasp and growled at Kimiko and Nikki. Kimiko was crouching protectively infront of Nikki and glaring at the elder of the Mustang siblings. Nikki was still sitting in the hay, not wanting to say anything to her older brother.
"Why, Nikki? That's all I wanna know." Roy asked in a low, venomous voice. "Why didn't you tell me you were in a relationship with this... thing"
Kimiko growled and layed her hands over that transmutation circle tattooed on her chest once more to produced two panthers from one of the multiple bales of hay in the stable. Before Roy had a chance to react, the two panthers had him pinned to the ground. Kimiko walked over and loomed over Roy, a sheer look of hate radiating from her face.
"Thing? Thing?! You're gonna call the chick who helped save your little sister after your sorry ass couldn't, a Thing!?" Kimiko growled as she paced around the man on the ground. "You wanna know something, Roy? I love this girl more than you ever could! My love comes from the fact that I watched her suffer for 2 months after her trip to the Gate and I was the one there to hold her hand when she had a nightmare. And where were you, Roy? You where somewhere in the fucking military kicking your feet up on a desk while your sister suffered! You were too fucking busy chasing goddamn skirts and getting laid while your younger sister screamed your name in her sleep. You can't call me a thing, you dumb bastard! If I'm a fucking thing, then you're a goddamn MONSTER"
Just before she could bash his head in with her fist, Kimiko slammed her hand into the stable's brick wall, leave behind a painful imprint along with a nice amount of blood. Nikki cursed and ran up to Kimiko, inspecting her arm for damages. The majority of skin on her knuckles was severly torn but other than that, Kimiko was fine. Calling her alchemic panthers off of Roy, Kimiko allowed Nikki to hold and calm her. Roy, shocked from what the younger girl had said to him, stood up and ran and calming hand through his hair. Kimiko stared at him intensely as he stood up and regained some sense of his manhood. Ed, who was fearful of what Roy might do if he was allowed anymore time with Kimiko, locked two strong comforting arms around his lover and tugged him towards the door. Roy allowed himself to be pulled away until something in side of him snapped. He had to retaliate! There was no other to restore the safety wall of denial that he had covered himself in years before. Of course he knew he that he had done nothing to help his younger sister but... it wasn' his fault he didn't help. Yeah, that was it! It wasn't his fault that the miltary needed him for other "important" things!
Yeah right.
That had been the lie he had told himself for all those years. All those years, he was afraid to come back to the home and see Nikki. He was iterrified/i at what his parent's would think of him so he never came back home. All the booze and women he could ever want were there to fill the huge empty hole left by his little sister's accident. He had drank himself into sanity. A sick, alcholic, sanity.
"It wasn't my fault." Roy whispered. Ed looked at his love in confusion. "It wasn't my fault" Roy repeated, this time balling his fist up and and glaring as the ground. Ed knew what was coming next but before he could warn Nikki and Kimiko, Roy broke free from his grasp and finally.
"It wasn't my FAULT!" Roy screamed as he charged towards the unsupecting Nikki and Kimiko. Nikki saw him coming but before she could move two of them away, Roy snapped and everything was ablaze. Kimiko screamed as Nikki covered her injuryed lover with her own body. Kimiko was trying to get Nikki off of her but she won't move. Nikki's eyes changed a frightening deep purple and electric alchemic waves were rolling off of her body. Roy's deep coal eyes were smoldering. 'She deserves it! She deserves this pain!' Roy thought as he watched the flames grow higher. "Nikki! Kimiko! Hold on! I'm going to try to put out the flames!" Ed said as he quickly clapped his hands and laid them on the ground, collecting all the water from the ground and making it splash onto the flames with a makeshift hose he had transmutated from a pile of scrape metal in the corner of the stable. Kimiko, who was bleeding profusely from her hand, tried to jump to her feet but was stopped by Nikki holding her down.
"What the hell do you think your doing, Nikki?!" Kimiko yelled as the other girl continued to hold her down. Nikki looked up at Kimiko and smirked, her frightening eyes glowing deep violet.
"Unless you'd like to burn to a crisp, I suggest you stay down, Kimiko." Nikki said with a devious undertone to her voice. Kimiko shuddered and did as she was told, not wanting to upset Nikki in any possible way. Nikki held Kimiko down until the flames died. Standing up, Nikki smiled and clapped.
"Nikki, NO!" Kimiko screamed as she was blown into the stable wall by a blast of alchemic power. Nikki was transmuting her body's kenetic power into a shield for the two of them. Nikki was chanting in a strange language and her eyes seemed to glow more intensely. As Ed was furiously trying to put out the flames, Nikki's shield grew wider and more intense. Nikki's voice was growing weak and so was her alchemic power but she refuse to let the shield down.
'I've gotta protect Kimiko... 'Love her too much... Not letting go...No...' Nikki thought to herself as she held the shield in place with her alchemy. As she grew weaker, the shield decrease in size, growing smaller and smaller with each step she came closer to unconciousness. When the last of the flames were smothered in water, Nikki dropped to her knees and then to the ground with a soft 'thud.
"Nikki, NO!" Kimiko screamed as she crawled over to Nikki. "Come, babe... come on and wake up. You can do it. Wake up and speak to me! PLEASE!" Kimiko cried over Nikki's limp body. Nikki weakly opened her eyes and smiled at her lover, whispering, "I'm glad you're ok... I thought I was goin' lose you... 'love you, K'miko." Nikki closed her eyes again and did not open them again. Kimiko laid her head on Nikki's chest and cried softly, muttering a Japanese lullaby that she would sing to Nikki everyday while she was in her coma from coming out of the Gate.
Ed looked at the scene in front of him and turned to Roy...
And saw nothing but air. Roy was gone. Where did he go? After that stunt he pulled Ed would have expected him stick around but then he remembered something that Roy had told earlier that day.
If I were to ever hurt Nikki like I already have... I have no idea what I would do. I'd probably start drinking again'
The word replayed in Ed mind until he under stood the severity of them. Roy would start drinking again.
"Oh no... Roy!" Ed yelled as he ran to back to the Mustang estate with more vigor than her thought possible. He flew passed the the butlers and maids who were preparing for the brunch Lady Mustang had wanted, and bounded up the stairs in several strides. He stopped in front of Roy door and saw that is was locked. Rolling his eyes, Ed clapped his hands and made a new doorway from the outside.
"Roy! Are you-" Ed was cut off by his own gasp. Roy was laying on the floor, crying with a bottle of half drinken whiskey in on hand and an almost empty bottle of vodka in the other. Ed ran over to the older man, grabbing the bottles and throwing them aside. Ed drew Roy into a loving embrace and let his lover cry on his shoulder.
"Why did I do that, Ed? Why?!" Roy sobbed in the fabric of Ed's shirt. "I'm her older brother! I should know better! I'm sooo sor-" Roy retched to the side, forcing the poisonious alcohol from his body. Ed gingerly helped Roy into bed and laid him down.
"I don't know, Roy..." Ed sighed, brushing sweaty strands of hair from Roy's face. Ed was beginning to get some water for Roy but as he got up, Roy grabbed his shirt and began to cry again.
"Please don't leave me here." Roy whimpered. "Please don't leave, Ed. My love... don't leave me"
"I won't leave you, Roy. I love you too much." Ed promised as he slid into bed with Roy. The bedside clock said it was only 2:30 P.M 'Oh well.' thought Ed 'I guess we'll just miss dinner.'
Whoa-ness... This chapter was really epic and I feel bad now that Roy is drinking and Nikki is knocked out and ... and... -bursts into tears- I'M SORY EVERYONE!! the next chapter will be here soon (I mean it this time) and it will feture Al and... his potentially lover?! What is the meaning of this, you ask? You'll find out soon enought, my good friends! Until then, I bid you all... FAREWELL!!
