The next morning was really tense. I could tell Ed and Roy were mad at me for not telling them, but it was hard for me. They weren't Sasuke, but then again they were trying to help me. I sighed as I sat down a the dining room table.
I guess I should tell them. "You guys still want to know what happened to me yesterday?" They nodded their heads. "Well....Yesterday I got bored with walking around the building and decided to take a walk outside. Don't ask me why, but I decided to take a breather inside a alley way. I....met someone from the past that was very dear to me, but then...."
"Then what?" Edward pushed. I bit my bottom lip for a moment before speaking again. "Then I got raped by him." I saw anger flash threw Ed and Roy's eyes. "Raped?" Roy qestioned in a harsh tone. "You got raped and you didn't tell us about it? We could've caught that person and put him and jail."
I looked away from them both. "You guys don't understand. I don't want Tadashi to be thrown in jail. He did it because he thought I still loved him and maybe I still do, but I have moved on and he understands that....for now."
Ed seemed to understand what I meant, but stupid Roy over here doesn't. He was still fuming and really it was starting to tick me off. "Okay Naruto we understand. Just tell us if anything else goes wrong okay?"
I nodded my head in agreement. "So what are you guys doing today?" I ask so I could get off of this subject. "Work basically. What are you doing today Naruto?" Of coarse they had to ask that. Why couldn't they just leave it at 'Work basically.'
"Uhhhh....I was going to do reserch today. See if I can't get any leads on where Oroochimaru would attack." They gave me a look and I instantly regreted saying what I just said. "You going by yourself?"Roy asked.
"Yes...C'mon Roy. I'm not a kid. I can take care of myself."
"That isn't what happened yesterday. You got raped so I here by declare that you are coming to work with us everyday." I look at Ed for help, but he just shakes his head and agrees with Roy.
"Oh come on! I am so not going to work with you!"
"I can't beleive I'm coming to work with you again!" I yell. "Deal with it." Roy said in a tone I didn't like. I crossed my arms and pouted. Suddenly an idea ran through my head. "How am I suppose to get a lead on Orrochimaru if I'm stuck here all day?"
Suddenly Ed smirked. "Well I beleive we have a record on him in the Record department. We should go down there Roy."
"No."
"Come on Roy. If Naruto needs a lead we need the record."
"No."
I looked at Ed and then at Roy. I was feeling some tenstion between them and I knew it wasn't any of my buisness. And I knew I should've kept my mouth shut, but instead I blurted out "I want to go see the file."
Ed's smirk widened. "Well there you go Roy. Naruto wants to go see the record so we have to go now." Roy mumbled something under his breath, and we started to walk to the record department.
When we reached the department Ed pulled me aside into one of the aisles. I looked at him confused. "Just watch." he says and that is what I did.
Roy's POV
I slowly walked up to the front desk of the records department. There sitting behind the desk was the one thing that can make me break out into a cold sweat. Her name was Saya, head of the records department.
She was this five foot seven, peittet, brown haired, mildly attractive women and she scared the crap out of me. Now I've seen war, and I've seen tragedy, but nothing has ever prepared me for her.
It's not that she's violent or anything, in fact I'm pretty sure she wouldn't hurt a fly, but she has a mouth on her a mile long; even wider then Full Metal's. But that's not the worst part. She doesn't find me attractive.
She's by far the only woman I met here in Central that has turned me down. You can't even imagine how wrong that is. So I finally get the guts to walk up and stand right in front of the desk, she doesn't even notice me which is typical.
I cleared my throat and without so much as a glance up came a very direct tone of voice. "Can I help you?" I cleared my throat again. "Uh...yes. I need the file for the walking snake chimera." Then she looked up and her eyes met mine and a cruel smile spread across her lips.
"Well Colonel Mustang. What a nice surprise to see you again." I could since the sarcasim in her voice. "Look Saya I don't want to fight with you today I have a lot on my mind. All I want is that file."
"Sure, that's not a problem." She said as she took a peice of paper out of the top drawer. She picked up here pen and started writing. "The file you're looking for is in the seventh row, fivth bookshelf, second shelf from the top. The file number is 1405."
She then ripped the peice of paper from the pad and held it out for me to take. I sighed here we go again. "Look Saya, I don't know these records as well as you do. Would it be too much to ask for you to get the file for me."
Saya then rolled her eyes. "And as I've told you before colonel my job is to manage all the files not fetch them."
"But it would be a lot faster if you got it because you know where everything is." I replied trying to remain calm. "Listen Roy, you have two perfectly good legs to your happy ass over to a bookshelf and pick up a file. I have reports in and out every five minutes that I have to label, edit, and notorized. I don't have time to play your serverant."
I could feel the blood boiling underneath my skin. I mean seriously was it too much ask the head of the record department to get me a god damn record? "Well gee Saya are you always this pleasent to everyone or do you save this attitude for me?"
"Well actually colonel I get along with just about everyone that comes down here because THEY follow protocall and get the files themselves, but for some reason you think you're above the rules. I don't know who you think you are Mustang, but here you are just military and must follow the rules like everybody else."
My patience has reached it boiling point and I could feel my anger rising out of me like a volcanic eruption. "Who am I?" I shouted violently. "I am colonel Roy Mustang! Leader of the East Companies! The very powerful Flame alchemist who can take out thousands of men with a single snap of my fingers. I make or break every single wannabe alchemist who thinks he's fit enough to join the military. I have trained some of the finest men we have and have the respect of the most honored military personel. I can even eliminate your postition if I should feel it neccesary. There is nothing I can't do. Do you understand?"
I was breathing kinda heavy after my long winded speech, but instead of her cowering in fear she remained placid. She then cleared her throat and flashed me a wicked smile. "Okay then Mr. High and Mighty." she said with a menacing tone. "I know there is one thing I can do that you can't."
"Oh really? What's that?"
"Well colonel, if you must know I can wink both of my eyes. Now watch carefullly." She then raised hands and pointed to both of her eyes. "You see left, right, left, right." As I watched both eyes open and shut, I could feel throbing vein in my head pounding viciously and to make matters worse I heard the faint snickering who I asumed would be the two blond idiots I've been taking care of.
I wanted so badly to snap my fingers and have this whole department engulfed in flames so that I would never have to put myself through this agony ever again, but I knew doing that would certainly earn me a dishonorable discharge from the military and I wasn't ready to relenquish my position of colonel.
So instead I stood there in a silent rage and snatched the peice of paper from off her desk and stomped away to find the file that I came looking for. I asked myself why do I let that pint sized tin can alchemist talk me into doing these things?
Back to Naruto's POV
I knew it wasn't right to laugh because I knew colonel Mustang had a war injury that cost him an eye, but I couldn't help myself. I might have laughed, but at least I wasn't in tears like Edward was.
"You see I told you this would cheer you up." Ed managed to blurt out through fits of laughter. "She is the only woamen I know that can put colonel pissy pants in his place."
"But don't you think that was a bit harsh what he said to him?" I asked. "Nah." He waved it off like it was no big deal. "Beleive me I've said a lot worse. I just find it comforting to know I'm not the only person that takes his bullshit."
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Roy appear from behind the bookshelf carrying the file in hand. I quickly punched Ed in the sholder and warned him that Mustang was coming. Ed tried his best to hide his amusement, but I knew he wasn't fooling anyone.
Roy had finally approached us and we stood up straight and tried making a straight face as possible. "So.." Ed said as a quiver of laughter still resanated in his voice. "How did it go?" He then stopped dead in his tracks and turned to face us.
The look in his eyes couldn't have made him scary if he was holding a knife. "All right you two." he said threw clenched teeth. "I am not in a pleasent mood right now and instead of lashing out and folding you two up in a small box and shipping you out to some god forsaken place which by the way would be really fun; I've decided to go to the training yards destroy everything there and have you two clean up the mess while I go back to my office and drink an entire bottle of rum."
I stood there a little scared, but stupidly enough I still wanted laugh. At least I was doing a better job at hiding my amusment then Ed. Roy then turned around and stomped back out of the records department. As soon as he was out of sight Ed and I erupted in laugheter again.
We even had to hold out sides because it hurt so much. After a few minutes we finally calmed down and I watched as Ed wiped from his eyes. "Oh man," Edward sighed. "That was so awesome."
"Yeah, but now we,re on clean up duty."
Ed just shrugged. "Oh well it was totally worth it."
"I have to admit," I said. "That girl is pretty amazing. I am so going to have to use that eye line on Kakashi the next time he pisses me off."
"Who's that?"
"Well, he's sort of the leader of my little group."
"Ahhh I see, defying authority figures huh. Well Naruto, I can tell that you and I are going to be fast friends." Ed put his arms around my shoulders and we started to walk out of the records department.
"Well that's good news, but I do feel bad for you Ed. Not only is mustang your commander but he is also your lover, this fight can't be a good thing."
"No worries Naruto, the make up sex is outstanding."
He gave a hardy laugh and slapped me right in the middle of my back. I grimaced at the fact that he gave off to much information. Yes we were friends but come on...seriously...I did not want to hear or know about what those two do behind closed doors.
"Come on Naruto" Edward called after me. "We've got clean up duty remember!"
PLEASE REVIEW! and I hope you enjoyed the beat down on colonel Mustang, but nice to know that Roy and Ed have make up sex afterwards
