Previously on Vampiric Love
"Well now, just what the hell are you?" Izumi's steps echoed off the walls as she stepped forward.
"You ask what I am?" She glared at him. "A HOUSWIFE!"
We all, including Greed, looked at Izumi dumbly. Ed snapped out of his dumbstruck and threw the crocodile man off of him. I stood with Izumi and Ed joined her on the other side. We all readied in attack position. Greed laughed.
"A vamp babe, a kid, and a housewife, huh? That's rich." I saw Izumi dart a glance at me for a brief second but it quickly landed back on Greed. "But I wouldn't feel quite comfortable fighting you. I'll be running away." Ed motioned forward for an argument.
"What?"
"Why, you…" Izumi started but then threw up causing Ed to scream horrifyingly. Greed darted out of the room and I followed him. I saw Greed transform back into his original form. I heard Ed's voice echo down the hall.
"T-Teacher! Hang on!" I'm pretty sure Ed can handle her on his own. I looked back and saw two military officers pointing their guns in the room we just left.
"Military officers…what are they doing here?!" I reached in my belt and pulled out a dagger. I threw it at the two officers' guns, causing them to break in half.
"You're still following me?!" I heard Greed yell. I looked forwards again.
"Cant get rid of me that easily!" I retorted.
"Ugh! Persistent woman." He took a sharp turn and I followed suit. Only to find he was way ahead of me.
"Maybe I should just sneak up on him then." I said and slowly inched towards them. I saw Al resisting Martel and crawling towards Greed, unaware.
"Martel, you're safe, are you?" Then I zoned their conversation out as I saw something shiny, flicker. Following my instinct, I followed the shiny thing. It was a person. I snuck up behind him. Immediately, the person whirled around and I blade cut my cheek.
"Holy fuuuck….Bradley?!" King Bradley withdrawn his sword. "Ah. That must explain the military officers!" Bradley nodded his head.
"Why are you here, Kaiden?" He asked. I rubbed the back of my head embarrassingly.
"I kinda got kidnapped." I glanced over at Greed. I saw a dangerous look in Bradley's eye. "Don't worry, I didn't tell him anything." I reassured him. He nodded again and Greed's conversation traveled back over to ours.
"…we have to come up with a way out."
"I cant have that." Bradley spoke up. He started walking forward.
"Huh? Who are you old man?" I walked from behind him too. "Ugh! Not you again!" I smirked. I heard Al gasp.
"The Fuhrer?! Why are you here?!" Same question I was thinking.
"Eh? What does the highest man in all the land want down here?" I giggled at his inward rhyme. Bradley glared at me with his one eye and I shut up. I saw a faint smirk.
"How old are you?" What the hell? What kind of question is that?! Hello! There's a killer-machine Homunculus in front of you and you ask how old he is? I think this man is dead in the head.
"Huh?" My thoughts exactly!
"I will be turning 60 this year." Oh my god! How does he keep in shape? "As you grow older, your body stops moving the way you want it too." Bradley continued. I wonder why he is telling this Homunculus all this. "I'd like to finish this job right away, and get back home." He concluded. He started walking forward, sword shining through the light. That's where that shininess came from!
"Humph. Retire, old man." Greed flexed his hand into metal, only to have it cut off immediately by Bradley. He's pretty quick. Greed looked at where his hand used to be. "Hey, now, what kind of old man are you?!" Greed started backing up and Bradley charged.
"Mr. Greed!? Al said as Bradley got the upper hand over Greed by kicking him into the ceiling.
"Al! This is our only chance lets go!" I cut his chains but Martel refused to leave Greed. The battle went on and we only watched.
"How dare you!" Greed announced and tried to punch Bradley. He got his eye patch and I saw a scar. I heard Bradley start muttering about the Ultimate Shield. How did he know about that? I saw Greed bleeding everywhere. My blood lust senses were activated and everything started getting blurry. I felt my fangs grow. Greed walked towards us and was pinned down by a sword in his neck. My fangs grew more. I used my lips to cover them.
"Let me out!" I heard Martel yell from inside. Al put his helmet down to prevent her from doing what she pleased. I ignored everyone's conversation and focused on trying not to pass out. I noticed my wound still bleeding. That's why! I've lost too much blood! I looked up to find Dorochet and his cow friend with him. When did they get there? Dorochet looked at me. He slashed Al's chains.
"Injured as you may be. I want you to get her out of here." I nodded slowly. Dorochet took his white coat off and wrapped my wound. Why is he helping me? They charged at Bradley. I grabbed Al's arm and tugged, while Al tried keeping his helmet on. I heard Martel pounding on the inside.
"No! You cant come out!" Al argued.
"Al! Lets go!"
"I cant! She's trying to get out!" I almost puked when I saw Dorochet get cut in half. He also sliced the cow man. I saw Greed walk up behind Bradley, though I couldn't hear what they were conversing about because of Martel's banging. They broke out into a fight again.
"Lie down there for a moment." Al started backing away.
"We have to get away!" I hissed at them.
"Hold it!" Bradley stepped out of the water. "You are Edward's younger brother, yes?" He started walking towards us slowly. Awe crap! "Are you injured? Let me give you a hand."
"Oh, sure. I mean no, I'm all right. I can get home by myself!" Al refused. I looked suspiciously in the armor. Martel has been too quiet. Al grabbed Bradley's throat, or should I say Martel? Al struggled. "No! Miss Martel!" I hope Bradley doesn't kill Al! I tried standing up, but I fell back down due to my loss of blood.
"Martel no!" I yelled.
"Bradley!" I heard her yell. I closed my eyes and heard sword clash with metal. No…he didn't…did he? I looked up and saw blood go everywhere. If they could grow any longer, my fangs grew as Martel's blood splashed a part of me. My eyes grew wide. He didn't kill Al. He killed Martel. I heard Al gasp. Before I knew it, he crashed onto me.
"Ah! Al snap out of it!" I tried pushing him off, but my shoulder felt like it was on fire. "Al! Alphonse! Get off!" suddenly the weight was gone. I looked up to see that Bradley had dragged Al off me. "Thanks…" I muttered.
"We'll need to return Alphonse to Fullmetal." I nodded. "You don't mind helping do you?" I shook my head. I grabbed his feet and Bradley grabbed his torso. Then a thought struck me.
"How did you know?"
"I kind of figured when I heard two different voices coming out of the armor."
"Oh…" We walked and saw Ed, who had bandages on his face.
"Al! Kaiden, what happened!? Are you okay?!" I set Al down, as did Bradley. He walked away giving us space to talk.
"He blacked out." I said and I ignored Ed's lingering blood. I closed my eyes and put my head up against the brick wall.
"Al! Hey! Snap out of it!" I heard Ed yell at Al as the officers dragged the dead body of Martel out of him. "Hey! Answer me! Al!" I heard Al shift.
"Brother…"
"Are you alright?" Ed asked worriedly.
"What about you, Brother? You're covered in blood." I winced. Ed glanced at me and looked down at Al's armor. I heard Al look down too. A shirtless Armstrong leaned over me to Al.
"We took the liberty of opening you up, and pulling her out." I looked up at Al and Armstrong looked at me. Al covered his face with his hands.
"I wasn't able to save her." Ed looked down sadly.
"It wasn't your fault, Al." He tried to cheer his younger brother up. "Come on, lets go home." He put on a weak smile. I nodded. "Al…" Al looked up. Armstrong was in the middle of helping me up.
"Just a moment." Bradley said and Armstrong dropped me.
"Jerk…" I muttered. Armstrong rubbed the back of his head, apologetically. Ed and Al immediately looked at Bradley, who was walking towards the three of us.
"There is something I must ask you." Soldiers saluted him as he walked past. Armstrong walked away. "Did you know the mastermind here, a man named Greed?"
"No." Ed replied, shaking his head. Bradley glanced at me.
"Did you get any important information out of him?" Ed looked at me too.
"No. Nothing that would be any benefit of the military." He answered.
"Don't misunderstand. I don't mean for the military." Fuhrer continued. "If you have arranged a deal with him, then depending on what it is…have you taken up with those who would do harm to the heart of the military." The heart of it…what about the whole thing. Something strange is going on here. I narrowed my eyes at him. Ed turned towards him again.
"No. Any other questions?"
"Your steel arm and your brothers armor form-are they somehow related?" All of our eyes widened. I wanted to laugh but now wasn't the time. We really jut made the whole thing worse and more suspicious. There was a long pause. Ed narrowed his brow. The Fuhrer smiled. "Such an honest boy" He turned around without saying anything else. "We're pulling out. You take good care of that brother of yours." Was the last thing he said before all the military officers left.
"Well…" I spoke up causing them to look at me. "That was kinda scary." Ed smiled at me. My vision got blurry and I shook my head.
"Kaiden wasn't your shoulder out of place?" Ed asked me curiously. I nodded.
"Yeah but when I left for Greed I put it back in place." Ed winced.
"Speaking of Greed." Al piped up and we both looked at the bloodied armor. "He called you a vamp, didn't he Kai?" My eyes widened and I gulped.
"Um…"
"So you're a vampire?!" He asked. I nodded my head slowly. "Wow…I thought they didn't exist…wait a minute! Did you know about this too, Brother?!" Ed nodded and frowned.
"Sorry Al. Kai didn't even want me to know." Al sighed.
"I understand." He looked at me again. "That would explain why you always put on that face when Greed started bleeding." Ed's eyes widened. He looked at my shoulder, and the jacket. It was bloodied all the way through. He frowned. He helped me up and Al stood up. We all walked back to the Meat shop. I was kinda walking like a drunk though, because of my blood loss. "Uh…Kai are you okay?"
"Huh? Oh yeah don't worry about me…I just lost a lot of blood." Al nodded. Suddenly someone picked me up bridal style. I sweat-dropped seeing Armstrong, sparkly. When we got there Ed grabbed some of Al's polish and started scrubbing him with water.
"Greed had an Ouroboros tattoo on his hand." Ed told Armstrong. He and Al also sweat-dropped at the fact he was still carrying me.
"Ouroboros…" Armstrong stated. Ed stopped polishing the chest plate and looked back at us.
"Remember? I told Colonel Hughes about them too. Those guys are involved with the Philosopher's Stone." I felt Armstrong flinch.
"Hughes…" I looked up at Armstrong's shocked face. Armstrong set me down and walked over to Ed. He put his gorilla hands on his shoulder. "Edward Elric, do not do anything too rash." There was a serious look in his eye.
"Yeah…" Ed replied a little taken aback. Armstrong took his hands off and started walking away. "Well, then…" and he disappeared from the shop.
"Brother…" Al spoke up.
"Hmm?" Ed looked at his brother.
"Listen, my memories of when my body was carried over have returned." Ed gasped.
"What was it like?!" Ed asked him. Al made his arms wiggly.
"It was sort of awful." I laughed at Al's childish action. He stopped. "But I didn't find out anything about Human Transmutation."
"Oh." Ed replied. Al attached his chest plate back and Ed grabbed the bucket.
"Ultimately, it got us no where, huh?" Al said sadly. I just sat and listened.
"No, that's not true." Al looked at Ed. "The Fuhrer mentioned something before. He said that there was unrest in the ranks."
"Mm-hmm, and that the Philosopher's Stone and the guys with the Ouroboros tattoos were involved. As such, he said he wanted to get information on them." Ed turned around in thought.
"Greed had an Ouroboros tattoo, too. So why did they have to kill everyone? If he wanted to get anything on them, he could've caught them and extracted everything he wanted, right?"
"Yeah." Al agreed. "What's more, with that many people to deal with, its strange that the Fuhrer would show up."
"Yeah. All of this is kind of hard to swallow." Ed agreed back. He looked at the two of us. "I guess we'll stick with the military for awhile." I zoned out.
"Mm-hmm" Al said. They sat there for awhile and finally looked at me.
"Uh. Kai?"
"Kai? Kaiden? Snap out of it!" I snapped out of it.
"Brother! She must've lost too much blood. Doesn't that mean she needs more." Both of us flinched. Al put a smirk on. "So what were you two doing when I left to get 'Elysia's birthday present?" He said evilly. We both looked away and blushed. Al started laughing at us. "Wait so does that mean that she…you know." Ed nodded. "What will Teacher say about this?" Ed and I, if possible, paled even further.
"What will Teacher say about what?" All of our eyes widened and we turned and faced Izumi. Think Kai think!
"Well actually, you see Ed has to go visit his automail mechanic and she might try to kill Ed with a wrench!" I lied. Izumi sweat-dropped.
"Kill?" She asked. I nodded. "Psh. I'm pretty sure you can handle that by yourself, Kaiden." I shrugged.
We all returned inside the house. Al, Ed and I went into the extra room we were staying in the back. We all avoided Izumi's curious questions. Al said he wanted to go on a walk to soothe things out that were racking his brain. Izumi agreed finding out that Al had gotten his memories back. Ed tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around.
"Um about your…blood." I smirked at him. "You know you can…"
"Yes I know. But what about Izumi?" Ed shrugged.
"She should be in bed by now."
"I guess." I giggled and Ed looked at me strangely. "It's like we're planning some teenager thing and trying not to get caught." Ed quirked an eyebrow. Oh come on you cant be that dense? Surely he's heard about-his eyes widened suddenly and he looked away, blushing. A grin formed on my face. We both sat down on a bed.
"What does regular food taste like to you?" Ed asked out of curiosity.
"Wheat food taste like bread, junk food taste like plain sugar, meat tastes like unflavored steak, vegetables taste like leaves and anything dairy-wise tastes like milk." Ed scrunched his nose.
"What about…blood?" I smirked. I leaned down towards his ear.
"Depends on who it is." I said with an evil grin on my face. I could see his face blush red. I laughed at him.
"Ah! Don't do that he tackled me onto the bed." we both looked at each other eyes locked. That was until the door opened and Izumi walked in.
"Hey Ed I-" I looked over at her at her eyes widened. I giggled as she slowly closed the door. I saw Ed got off and started blushing madly.
"Wow I'm surprised she didn't say anything." Ed threw a pillow at my face. I glomped him playfully. His Vanilla scent hit me hard. I saw him blush as I leaned in. I opened my mouth and prepared(1).
