Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist. Only Belligerence, Arrogance, and Vanity.

I growled, tracking had never been my specialty and now I was lost in the dense forest. I had been walking toward the city and somehow ended up in the deep woods.

Stupid goddamn PLANTS! I yelled in my thoughts as I pushed yet another mass of low hanging moss away from me so as not to let it tangle in my hair.

All I had wanted to do is track down that godforsaken runt and kill her once and for all but my sense of direction had other plans. Of course. I could easily speed around the entire forest and get it over with. But with my luck I'd end up in a whole other province. Lost in these antagonizing thought I once again tripped and was reacquainted with the ground.

A cry of frustration and defeat left my lips as I curled up were I was. My arm reached out a grabbed a rock, with the least bit of pressure I reduced it to dust. All this power and no one to use it on. The only one who would even think of coming to look for me would be Arrogance. But he was no doubt bedding with Lust.

I simply laid there, for how long I didn't know. What was certain was the stars looked beautiful. But when had I been one to think of such trivial things? I never cared much for any of my surroundings. Maybe all that crap humans spouted about rethinking your life when in the crappiest situations had some credibility.

Or, perhaps I needed to kill that hag Dante and have this spell taken off of me. But even with these thoughts I made no move to get up. I felt…Relaxed and content.

A twig cracked far to my left and I shifted my head to look in the direction. From the foliage a familiar pissed off homunculus stepped out. He stared down at me then rolled his eyes.

"What are you doing on the ground idiot?" He asked crossing his arms over his chest. I just stared up at him, taking in his unavoidably handsome features. No. Not him….

"What does it matter to you?" I asked. No emotion in my voice or face as I spoke to him. "Nothing at all, but your little friend was beginning to worry and made me come looking for you." The only emotion on his face was tired annoyance. The look he usually wore only more worn out.

"How long did you look for me?" I didn't know why I cared to ask. It just flowed out before thought dismissed it.

"Two hours." Envy retorted. Not in contempt, just merely stating it. My eyes widened slightly. Why didn't he just give up after the first half hour. I would have.

No I wouldn't.

My thoughts were betraying me. Yes I would have, I have no care for any other being than my self.

Liar.

No.

"Let's get back before Arrogance sends everyone else out too." Envy said interrupting my inner conflict. I made no movement and simply looked back up to the stars.

I heard and irritated growl and was suddenly in some ones arms. Through order of elimination I figured it must've been Envy, but my better judgment told me that was quite unlikely. But it was indeed that insufferable homunculus.

"What are you doing." My voice still void of emotion. Envy snorted. "What does it look like, you weren't planning on moving your sorry ass so I had to move it for you, so shut up and stay still." He said looking straight ahead. Not once looking down at me. I could see the small blush on his cheeks from the moons pale light. Once again I couldn't help but find it cute how he could look so irritated and so embarrassed at the same time.

I was seriously going to have to ask Arrogance about this kind of illness when we got back.

I had to have fallen asleep on the way to the house because when my eyes opened I was in my room, on my bed and the sun was shinning obnoxiously through my bedside window. I had to wonder if last night had been a dream and I had found my way home on my own. But my impeccable sense of direction begged to differ.

With an aggravated sigh I stood from the bed and made my way downstairs and into the kitchen. Everyone was crammed into the eating area when I reached it. Arrogance seemed to be arguing with Envy. Wrath was crying and clinging to Sloth's skirt while Lust sat quietly looking at her nails. Gluttony had a section of the table in his mouth drooling on it.

"What is going on in here?"

Sloth sighed. "Greed is causing trouble and brining unwanted attention to our kind. His little slut has been reckless and seen by bystanders which she didn't kill. We're now in danger of being hunted by the military. We're going out to kill the two traitors."

I almost couldn't believe it. A golden opportunity had fallen right into my hands. With a grin I started walking to the door. "Well let's go then I don't know why you're all standing around gaping like fish. Let's track those suckers down and tor-er-kill them."

The whole search party I suppose you would call it was organized into teams of two. Arrogance's idea. I was paired with Envy since no one else wanted to deal with his whining. I suppose they decided this without me. Because now, trudging through the forest I began to resent them all.

Every second I was with the green haired homunculus, the sickness I'd been feeling lately would get worse. Every time he looked at me, my palms felt clammy and my body seemed to heat up. If for any reason we touched, I felt as if I'd been electrocuted. But in a, pleasant, masochistic way.

We traveled long in the forest. Not talking. It was eating at me. I refused to break first though. It was an unspoken kind of game. I would lose soon unless something happened.

Before I could lose though, we happened upon a beat down town. "This is were Greed lives." Envy said walking casually from the recess of trees and down a small hill to the dirt road.

I grinned in triumph. He may not have known it. But I won.

I followed him in slowly. Not many people were on the streets. The few that were obviously didn't have a home. "What's up with this place?" I asked. It only just crossed me that none of these, 'people' were human.

"This is a town for refugees." He said simply walking to a place with a neon light. I growled. I could already smell that skanky whore of a homunculus. Without much thought I strode into the bar as I supposed it was. The air reeked with the smell of animals.

"What are they?" I asked staring at a snake looking thing. "Chimeras. Animals of all sorts fused with others. These all seem to be human based." Envy said with a snort. "Ask around for Greed. I'm going outside." Envy ordered before walking right back out. I nearly screamed back at him but settled with kicking at the floor with the pad of my foot.

I looked around before going to the bar. The bar keep was another snake like man, cleaning a beer mug. "What can I do ya fer?" He asked not looking up. "Do you know a man named Greed?" I smirked when the snake looked at me. "Why? Who are you?" He asked setting the mug under the bar. "An old friend you could say." The snake looked unconvinced but went to the back motioning me to follow.

Towards the back wall there was a door camouflaged into the wall. The snake knocked four times in rapid succession then twice slower. I muffled voice on the other side and then the door swung in. "What is it Ray?" That was Greed. I could tell by the way the hairs on the back of my neck stood up.

I stepped through the door and looked at the sin square in the eyes. He was creepier without glasses. His expression immediately changed from annoyance to what seemed like joy. "AH! My little hellcat!" He said grabbing me up. I growled and tried to beat him off of me(1) but found my arms pinned to my sides as he seemed to try and crush me. "Get off!" I yelled kneeing him in the stomach.

Unfazed, Greed put me back on my feet. "What brings ya here?" He asked, his sharky grin tugging the sides of his mouth. I rolled my eyes. "Just follow me and bring the runt with you." I said turning and walking out.

Greed must've been stupid. Or overconfident. Most likely stupid. He followed me, the little tramp at his heels, as I led him out of the bar and to were Envy was waiting.

The green haired homunculus looked up as I approached. He simply stared. An unspeakable hate burning behind his beautiful eyes. This time I did smack myself. It seemed to startle the three but I pretended nothing happened.

"Well just staring won't kill them Envy." I said turning and tensing the muscles in my legs. Ready to pounce on Vanity. Greed's eyes narrowed at my statement and Envy smirked also falling into a crouch.

"I hope you're ready to die." Envy said smugly dashing at Greed as I turned to attack Vanity.

Okay I've decided that I will not continue this story unless people start reviewing. It's starting to piss me off, so if I don't start getting reviews I will stop writing this series and remove it from this site.

(1)When I was writing this chapter I realised how incredibly wrong sounding this was and promptly laughed my ass off.
