Chapter 5
"Alphonse, why are you so jumpy?" Hughes asked as he, Mustang and the others watched the young boy nervously move around on his seat. They were heading to Dublith to visit Al's teacher and to protect Al from possible dangers, or homunculi attacks. Now when he wasn't bound to the armor anymore, they couldn't risk him going on the train alone, in case of a hijacking. But they were also going to the south headquarter to investigate a resent death of an alchemist.
"I am? I wasn't aware of that" he replied, even if he lied. He knew very well why he was so jumpy. He feared of his teachers reaction towards what he was about to tell her. He just hoped she wouldn't get one of her attacks, and that she wouldn't kill them all.
"Al, are yous sure you want to do this right now? We could always wait-" Mustang said, but was interrupted as Al shook his head.
"No, I really need to do this. I still need to tell her, and the sooner the better. I still have to tell Winry and aunt Pinako as well, and I think Teacher deserves to know first. Besides she might be able to help us. If not to stop bro-I mean Pride then at least to destroy him" Al explained, his throat tightening as he said the last part.
"I understand" Mustang said, solemnly. Al looked out of the window, a distant look now placed upon his face.
"Envy?" Pride asked in a innocent voice, causing the elder sin to immediately turn his attention towards the younger. They were in the towns market place and were currently by all of the fruits.
"Yeah?" he replied. He wasn't surprised to see Pride glance nervously at the fruits. He had found out that the sin, how strange it even was, was obsessed with fruits and berries, but then again Ed had always been fond of food. Yet, he did find it odd, normally a homunculus only wanted the red stones, and nothing else. He could live with it, since Pride always had a very adorable way to beg for his fruity treats, and when he ate them with cream or ice cream he always ended up with some of it on his chin or around his mouth, only making him look even more like the feline he partly was.
"May I have some more fruit, please?" Pride asked, blinking twice, and tilting his head. Envy gave him a nod, which immediately put a bright smile on Pride's face and the smaller homunculus glomped the green haired taller one. Then he bolted towards their usual fruit place. The owner of the stand smiled and greeted the two of them. Pride told him what he wanted and how much, glancing at Envy if the sin thought it was enough. He never did. Envy didn't care as long as Pride was happy.
"Well, hello there Ren, I haven't seen you in awhile. The last couple of times it's been young mr Will, who've bought your fruits" the man called Dan said as Pride looked at all the fruits. Pride looked up. 'Ren' was his other alias when he was somewhere they couldn't use Pride, as Envy's alias were 'Will'. Envy had been the one to come up with the names.
"Yeah, I've been kinda...busy " Pride replied, smiling slightly. 'With hunted down and killed some of those bastards' he added mentally. When they were finished Envy paid the man and they said good bye, well at least Pride did. They walked down a street to by some cream in a shop, and then they would go another errand. Avoiding the military officers they saw, after all many knew what Ed/Pride looked like, and he was most likely to be wanted by the superiors.
Meanwhile Al and the others exited the train on the train station in Dublith. Al looked around like he was searching for something, but then he looked at the others.
"Is something wrong, Alphonse?" Hawkeye asked, putting her hand onto her gun holster. Al shook his head.
"No, it's fine. It's just that I haven't been here in awhile and this time I'll feel pain when Teacher kick my ass" he replied with a shudder.
"I'm sure you'll be fine" she said softly. "Anyway, which way is it?"
"It's just a few streets down to the right (A/N I have no idea if this is right, but if anyone knows just tell me) It's not that hard to find, they owe a butchery and live right behind it" Al replied as he led the way towards their destination. Mustang walked up beside Al.
"Hey Al...?" he whispered. Al looked towards him, seeing the Colonel glance worriedly at Hawkeye.
"Ehm, yeah?"
"What's you teacher like?" he asked. Al looked at him with a weird look.
"Well, she's very strict, harsh, good fighter and excellent alchemist. She's very kind as well, when she's not mad. She put us on an island for a month with only a knife. We had to survive there for an entire month, without alchemy. She beat us up the last time we visited, but she always cared for us a lot, otherwise she'd never had taken us as students" Al explained. Mustang looked a little spooked away after Al's explanation. Sure he might have met the woman slightly once, but it was a long time ago, and only for a short moment.
"I see" Mustang said, laughing nervously. They finally came to a stop in front if a small shop with a sign that read 'MEAT' on. Al took a deep breath and was just about to open the door, when... it slammed open and a foot collided with Al's chin, sending him into Armstrong's arms. Everyone stood as paralyzed as a dark haired woman came outside with an infuriated look upon her face. She cracked her knuckles and glared at Al.
"Alphonse Elric! What have you stupid apprentices done this time?! And where is your brother?! And how dare you take DOGS with you here?!" she snapped at him, while pointing at Mustang and the others. Al whimpered slightly, but stood onto his own feet again. Izumi glared at him.
"Teacher, I have to tell you something and they're just protecting me..." Al replied. Izumi looked at him in surprise.
"Protect you about what?" she asked, folding her arms in front of her chest. Al flinched.
"It's about brother..." he replied silently.
"Edward? Wait here a minute." she said, as she put her head into the shop. "Honey, I'll be over at the house" she stated to her husband Sig.
