The angel and the alchemist-
Chapter 4-
HEY ALL! I'm finally going to start updating this one regularly cuz this story is lacking chapter wise! Seriously chapter four and my other dn angel story is at 20! Anyway, THANK YOU TO ANYONE WHO HAS REVIEWED! I own neither DN Angel nor FMA though I wish I did!
I glared at Krad and he returned said glare. Ed and Mustang watched the exchange with raised eyebrows. An older man cleared his throat,
"You must be Daisuke Niwa, pleasure to meet you I am Fuhrer Bradley." He said with a genuine smile. I never took my eyes off Krad,
"Actually I'm Dark Mousy and I want to know what he is doing here." I snarled finally looking away from my other half.
"He is here because I want you two to do something for me." Krad and I stared at the man like he was insane, which he was.
"WHAT? You expect me to work with a homicidal blond idiot?"
"You expect me to work with this bastard thief?" we yelled at the same time then turned to glare at each other. Ed looked at me with curiosity when Krad said thief but I ignored him.
"Yes, I do. Now I'm guessing you already know what I am and who I work for correct?" I nodded.
"Well I am looking for a item that may help in my business. It's called the Siren's Call and I believe it could be useful to bring in more people to our circle." I nodded,
"Okay I steal something, not new. Why does Krad have to come?" I threw another glare at the blond.
"He needs to come so he could hold of the military long enough to get it." I gave him a look,
"Aren't you the head of the military? Can't you just tell them to back off? Besides I'm not stupid enough to trust him with watching my back!" Krad opened him mouth,
"Don't say a single word you bastard." I growled.
Krad's golden cat eyes narrowed. He stood up and stalked towards me. In an instant I had fell into a fighting stance and attacked Krad. He was just as fast. Within seconds we were spreading our wings and we were about to take our fight to the open sky when a single barked order stopped,
"STOP IT RIGHT NOW!"
Krad and I tensed at the order that is the only thing I will admit is a similarity between us; we hate being ordered around. We turned to the Fuhrer and glared at him.
"You two will work together and that is final."
"What is in it for us?" Krad asked his eyes still narrowed.
"I will give you your own bodies."
Daisuke suddenly started paying attention, Krad and I stared at him in wonder and Ed and Mustang tensed. Krad and I exchanged a glace and nodded.
"Fine, I'll work with him but I want to know, how do you plan on giving us our own bodies?" he smiled and pulled out a small red stone.
"With a more powerful one of these, which you and Krad shall help me create."
"Hey hey, I just agreed to steal a sculpture not help you make some stone." I eyed the stone curiously.
"By stealing the sculpture you help me make the stone." I shrugged,
" Fine, but on one condition." Bradley nodded,
"I want to have shorty here keep an eye on Krad so he doesn't decide to kill me while my back is turned." I stuck my thumb over my shoulder at Ed he bristled,
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT HE COULD BE STEPPED ON BY AN ANT?" Ed screamed I turned on him,
"Oh shut up! We don't have time for your height issues! Just face it kid, I am taller than you, so is everyone else in this room GET OVER IT!"
Ed was shocked at my outburst as was everyone else but Krad who just smirked. Bradley was the first to recover,
"Well everyone pack your things you are all taking a vacation to Drachma! Mustang you may take one subordinate with you and I will be sending one of our men along with you as well I shall try and make sure he doesn't kill you." I stared at him,
This man is insane!
Colonel spoke up finally,
"Um sir? Why am I going, I have work here to do." Bradley waved his hand dismissively,
"You need a vacation and I need you to keep an eye on these kids." All three of us bristled,
"KIDS?" Krad and I were the most pissed, we are four hundred years old, we no longer classify as "kids."
"I am not a child! I have not been a child for over three hundred years!" I am annoyed to say it, but I agreed with my other half. Everyone's heads snapped up at our ages,
"You two are over three hundred years old?" The fuehrer asked curiously, we nodded.
"Well never mind it's time for you to go. One of my men will meet you at the train station. Good luck!" he waved and sat down to do some paperwork. Our group left and I kept to the back, always keeping an eye on Krad.
"So are you really a thief?" Ed came up beside me. I nodded,
"The greatest Phantom Thief in the world! Oh by the way I was wondering why do all you alchemists carry around these pocket watches?" I asked innocently pulling out the two stolen watches. Ed's eyes widened and he patted his pockets then turned to Mustang,
"Hey Roy! You may want to check your state alchemist watch." Mustang turned in confusion and I saw Krad roll his eyes,
"Why would I-" he trailed off when he spotted the watches in my hand. He reached to where he always kept his watch and his eyes widened.
"You never answered my question, why do all you alchemists carry these around?" I dangled them in front of their respectful owners faces.
"Not all alchemists only state alchemists, they hold special power boosting items in them so we can perform stronger alchemy." Ed said as he grabbed his watch.
I nodded and continued on my way, smirking. I couldn't wait to get out of their sights to see how much money I had just swiped from the both of them.
"You may want to check your wallets." Krad said and I frowned. Stupid Krad, always ruining my fun. I turned to watch the two men searching frantically for their wallets then glaring at me. I smirked and handed back the stolen wallets but keeping some of the money.
"Dark! You should know better than to steal people's wallets!" my tamer groaned,
"Hey! We need it more than they do!" Daisuke sighed and I knew I was right.
The rest of the way to the train station Ed and Mustang kept their distance from me and I kept my eyes on the winged blond who was ignoring me. We picked up the other two of our procession and headed to the train station.
When we got to the station a normal looking army guy approached us, I guess this was Bradley's man. The man spoke up,
"Yo, I was only expecting three but I guess two more and a pipsqueak is fine." The man smirked and Ed's eyes narrowed,
"I should've guessed he'd send you Envy." The man, Envy smirked then glared at me,
"So you're the one who escaped from us. How nice of you to come crawling back." I looked at him and then it dawned on me,
"You're that shape-shifting one!" He rolled his eyes,
"You finally realized it, good." I glared at him.
Then did a quick scan to see if anyone was watching us closely and switched places with Daisuke and I saw Krad do the same. We boarded the train and Ed, Al and Mustang sat down and started talking with Riza sitting near them. Envy sat by himself and Daisuke and Satoshi sat together, talking in Japanese so no one could understand them,
"What do you think about Dark's job?" Hiwitari asked seriously,
"I think there is something they aren't telling us, like why they need people to create the stone." I hadn't thought of that until now,
"The stone was a blood red, maybe they sacrifice the lives of the people in able to make the stone. It's not unheard of but still a little creepy." I felt Daisuke's shock and I even saw a little emotion on Hiwitari's face when Daisuke repeated my words to him. Satoshi's eyes narrowed at some unknown comment from Krad and nodded,
"Krad says that it's a possibility and that Dark is right… wait WHAT?" he said in a random show of emotion, I was equally shocked, Krad agreed with me? Wow, never thought I'd see the day. Satoshi shook his head,
"Anyway he said Dark is right and he also forgot that the KokuYoku used a few sacrificed lives to create it." (I know it never really said that but it will tie in later) I nodded.
"Maybe we should ask Ed about the true origins of the stone, he seems to know a lot about it." Daisuke nodded, replayed my words and switched back to English,
"Edward, can we ask you something?" said alchemist stood up and walked over,
"Ya what is it?"
I could tell Daisuke didn't really know how to phrase the question and Satoshi was talking to my other half so I nudged the transformation a little and Daisuke nodded, picturing Risa in his head allowing me to take his place. I got straight to the point,
"Is the stone I'm helping Bradley build made by sacrificing lives?" Ed's eyes widened and he nodded. Envy overheard our conversation and laughed,
"Good job, you figured it out much faster than the pipsqueak here." Ed started to freak out but Krad flew out of nowhere and held him down,
"Shut up boy, we need to hear this." He growled and Ed stilled.
"Yes the stone you are helping us create is made from sacrificing lives is there a problem with that?" Envy glared at Krad and I. Krad shook his head and smiled, I shrugged,
"I may not be as comfortable with it as my sadistic other half but if it will help us get our own bodies it's not a problem." Envy smiled and every human stared at us and I felt Daisuke was a little shocked but not by much. I met the eyes of everyone in the train compartment (They had a private car) and crossed my arms,
"Why are you all looking at me like that?"
"You just said you were fine with human sacrificing, that's just wrong." Ed said with disgust, Krad gave him an icy glare and I stared at him in disbelief,
"Um, aren't you going after this stone too? Besides I said I am not completely comfortable with it but it's helpful." I shrugged
"Have you ever even killed anyone?" Ed asked in annoyance,
"Well I try to kill someone every time I see them but unfortunately they keep surviving." I glared at Krad. Ed asked him the same question,
"Yes I have killed and I also am constantly trying to kill someone but they also keep surviving but only because they run away." I tensed,
"RUN AWAY? From what I remember from our more recent fights I keep end up seeing you disappear, either flying away or running out of strength and turning back into Satoshi!"
He snarled and leaped at me, I sidestepped and tripped the hunter, laughing as he fell to the floor. Krad jumped back up and tackled me. He pinned me but I could still move my hands a little so I grabbed the closest thing of his by my hand, his hair. I gripped it and yanked. He snarled in pain and retaliated by elbowing me in the gut. The air rushed out of my lungs and I coughed. My eyes narrowed, I banged my head into his. He drew back, giving me the chance to jump up. I coiled to spring but I heard a snap and a wall of flame appeared out of nowhere. I jumped back in shock Krad copied my gesture. I turned to see the Colonel holding his hand out and glaring,
"You two are such children! I don't understand this problem between you two but it needs to stop!" I heard Satoshi speak up and found Krad was gone,
"That is almost impossible. When I see the day these two get along I will think I have gone insane." I smirked and allowed Daisuke to take him body back. He agreed with Satoshi and Ed put out the flame in our train cabin. The rest of the train ride was uneventful, mostly because Krad and I were not allowed to take control of our bodies. Soon after Daisuke fell asleep and I followed suit, bored out of my mind.
YAY! Another chapter done! REVIEW! If you do not I shall… unleash the deadly power of Wiz on you!
