Kindness's POV

When I opened my eyes, the sunlight streamed in, shining in my eyes. Groaning, I sat up, holding my head.

"Morning." Charity greeted.

"Mmph." I grunted, slinging my feet over the side of the bed and pushing myself off it.

"Have fun last night?" Lust asked with a smirk.

"What?" I asked.

Charity looked back and forth at us expectantly.

"You don't remember?" Lust raised an eyebrow.

I tried to think back, but it was all fuzzy. "No, I don't. Why would you, anyway?"

"Because you woke me up when you begged Envy for a good-night kiss." She grinned.

Charity burst out laughing as my cheeks went scarlet. "I did not!" I protested.

"Oh Envy~!" Lust called.

"What?" He called back, sounding annoyed.

Not like that was anything new . . .

"Get in here and convince Kindness you had to kiss her good-night for her to go to sleep!"

Charity laughed harder, nearly falling off of her cloud. Her twin stumbled in, laughing so hard he had trouble standing up. I buried my head in my hands, embarrassed beyond words. Envy walked in, barely hiding a smirk.

"In fact, you begged. How does that feel?" He leaned down, smirking at me.

I wanted to sock him in the face. "I hate you."

"The feeling's mutual, Fire Head."

I grabbed my hair protectively, glaring at him. "Shut up, Palm tree!"

". . .Palm tree? That makes no sense." He blinked.

"Your hair was green last night. That much I remember." I roll my eyes.

Charity fell off her cloud, but hardly seemed to notice as she laid sprawled on the ground, cackling.

"What's all the fuss about?" Greed stumbled in, holding his head.

"What are you doing here?" Envy growled.

"He lives here too, ya know." I whacked him upside the head.

"Ow! Shut up, I knew that!" He tried to hit me back.

While we were arguing, Charity was trying to convince Greed to go back to his bed. "Really Greed, you should at least sit down until we can get some fluids into you! Or you might get worse!"

"No way, babe, I feel fine, just a little achy here and there." Greed waved away her concerns.

"Greed!" She said, frustrated.

I abruptly started coughing, and Envy leaped back to he didn't get coughed on. Everyone minus Envy watched me worriedly as I took a couple gasps for air.

"It's nothing. Just a cough." I said wearily, forcing a smile.

"Sounds like more than a cough," Lust crossed her arms.

Chastity pressed a hand to my forehead. "Ow! Man, you're hot."

"We all knew that." Greed smirked.

I wasn't sure I hated Greed or liked him. Charity glared at him, which spoke volumes about what she thought.

"We really need Temperance." Chastity said, pulling me into his lap.

Something flickered on Envy's face at this, but it was gone so fast that I couldn't figure out what it was.

"Either that, or someone needs to learn medicine." I sighed.

"Well, since we're all awake, we might as well start living. And we can't do that if we're on a beach the whole time," Lust pointed out. "Some of us are going to get hungry, and therefore, cranky."

She looked pointedly at Envy, who, in turn, pointedly avoided her gaze.

"He's cranky all the time." Greed snickered.

Envy's hands balled into fists as he shot his brother a death glare. "Jeez, you two really don't get along well, hmm?" I weakly kicked Envy in the leg.

"Shu-"

"Enough! Do we have to keep you in two different rooms?!" Charity asked, annoyed.

"Maybe." Envy and I said at the same time, then I shot him a glare, which he returned.

Greed, Lust, Charity and Chastity sighed in exasperation.

"Whatever. So, what's the plan?" Chastity asked.

I closed my eyes and let them discuss it. I'm the youngest, anyway. I was beginning to doze off when Chastity shook me awake. "Hey lil' sis, this okay for you?"

I sleepily opened my eyes, glancing around. "What?"

Envy facepalmed.

"When are you up to leaving?" Charity asked kindly.

". . .Tomorrow." I closed my eyes again.

"We'll go to the city and see if we can get a job for you guys." Chastity said.

"Fine by me." Greed said.

I could practically hear Envy shrug his response.

"Then it's decided. Lust, you can be ready in a couple minutes?" Chasity asked.

Lust agreed, and I heard some shuffling. When I felt the cool comfort of the bed hit my back, I opened my eyes watched Chastity practically drag Envy out. I looked at my sister, Greed and Lust.

"Er, did I miss something?" I wonder.

"Nope. I'm just as confused as you are." Charity shrugged.

After a moment, Envy came back in, looking shaken and ticked. We girls exchanged glances, then shrugged. Well, Lust didn't. She just had a calculating look on her face. Lust left with Chastity moments later.

"Y'know, I'm bored." I stared up at the ceiling.

Charity grinned evilly. "I've got something to fix that."
I sat up, suddenly worried as she left. Oh crap, now what did I do? Greed, guessing at what she was plotting, got up and left, leaving me alone.

But not for long.

Envy was suddenly shoved into the room, face-planting on the floor as the door slammed shut and was locked with a faint 'click'. I jumped up and hurriedly stepped over Envy who was picking himself up with a disgusted look on his face. But I must've not picked my foot up high enough, because I tripped over Envy as he lifted himself off the floor. I hit the floor with an indignant 'OW!' while Envy just glared at me.

"Watch it, idiot." He growled, standing up and dusting himself off.

I blew a piece of hair out of my eyes. "Likewise, moron."

Envy bristled, but at my look oddly didn't explode at me, instead just muttering threats. I banged open the bathroom, but when I tried the guy's room, the door proved to be locked.

"Darn. Now what?" I coughed, then banged on the door.

"Hey! Open the blasted door before Envy pulls out my liver and crushes my spleen!"

"That's a good idea, come to think." I heard him say from the other bedroom.

I sunk to the floor, resting my head against the door. "Why me? Why why why?"

"Truth." Envy answered.

My head shot up, the fire burning again. "That's right! It's Truth's fault I have to do this! Man, when this is over, I'm gonna. . .I'm gonna. . ."

"You're gonna what?" I could practically hear Envy roll his eyes.

". . .Do something." I finished lamely, turning my head to glare at him.

He lazily reclined on Lust's bed, eyeing me with a flat gaze. "You do know you're absolutely terrifying, right?"

"Aw, shut up." I stood up, walking back into the bedroom.

Envy sighed, then walked over to the door to the main room, then kicked at the door. Twice. The green door made of ivy that smelled like flowers received a rather obvious dent in it, but it didn't break.

"Hang on, I made this house, right? I should be able to bring it down! It's not raining, so there's no fear there." I pressed my hand against it, and closed my eyes in concentration. After 10 seconds, the ivy crumpled to the floor, but a solid sheet of cloud took it's place.

Envy looked as disappointed and angry as I felt. "Damn, this is bad."

Something made me glance at my hand, the one I had pressed against the door. I started in shock. My hand was completely purple. I waved my hand, trying to make it not glow like it was doing now. Nothing. My hand continued to glow like light bulb. I started panicking.

"Ah! Envy! My hand's glowing!"

He turned, glanced at my hand, then burst out laughing. "Serves you right."

"What? That's not fair! I didn't do anything!" I protested.

"Sure, sure." He chuckled.

I glared, then jumped as Charity called, "This is a test! If you can stay in that room for a day without killing each other and arguing, Greed and I will let you out!"

"We will?" I heard Greed ask.

"Yes, we will!" She hissed. "If you are still arguing, the time will continue for another hour until you stop!"

"Damn. I have to stay here with you for a day?" Envy flopped onto Lust's bed.

"And Chastity told me if Envy hurts you, Kindness, he will personally send him to hell!"

Ah.

That explains the shaken look.

Now I know to go to Chastity if Envy won't co-operate.

Blackmail, along with the tickling.

. . .

Mwuhahahaa~

"Hey sis! My hand is glowing! What do I do?" I called, hitting the door with my stained fist.

"Wash it! It's just ink!" She called back.

"Ink? Where did she get that?" I muttered, going into the bathroom to wash my hand.

I crashed onto my bed moments later. I had just buried my face into the soft "mattress" when Envy said, "I'm hungry."

I sighed, not moving myself. "Dunno what to do for you."

"Can't you summon food?"

"Nope. Weird limitations." I lifted my head to peer at him.

"That's stupid." Envy rolled over so he wasn't facing me.

The room was designed so if you looked at it from the ceiling, my bed would be on the west wall, Charity's on the north, and Lust's on the east. Two doors on the east, one for the bathroom that connected to the boy's rooms, and one to the main room. The whole house was a circle shape, but the room layout was cut into rectangles/squares. Sighing, I swung my feet over the side, stood up, then promptly swayed and hit the floor. Envy jumped at the sound of impact and my groan.

"Jeesh, did your feet fall asleep?" He peered down at me.

"No." I coughed, pushing myself up with shaky arms.

"If you get really sick, does it affect me?" Envy asked. "Cause it better not."

"I don't think so. Only if it's life or death." I reached for something to pull myself up with.

I felt all limp, like wet spaghetti noodles. Envy must've gotten tired of my pathetic waves for a hand hold, because he grabbed my hand and yanked me up. My legs refused to hold me up and I leaned against him for support. Envy stiffened, yanking me so I was out at arm's length.

"What are you doing? It's like a relapse of last night."

"Sorry. Just . . .give me. . .a moment." It felt like my lungs weren't sucking any air in, which made me gasp.

If I hadn't known better, I'd say Envy was concerned for about 20 seconds. "Why'd you get up in the first place?!"

"To tell my sister you're hungry." I mumbled.

"What can she do about it?" He demanded. "Don't get up until we're allowed out."

"Sir, yes sir." I said sarcastically, letting him pick me up and toss me on my bed.

I landed unceremoniously on the bed, and briefly forgot how to breathe.

Envy started pacing. "This is extremely boring." He groaned.

I sighed, rubbing my eyes. "If you can wait about ten minutes, I think during that time I can heal myself. Just don't do anything to me or anyone else while I'm asleep, got it?"

He looked surprised. "If you can heal yourself, why didn't you do that to begin with?"

"It takes a lot of energy." I replied, settling myself more comfortably in the bed.

He sighed, plopping himself on Lust's bed. "Fine. Just be quick."

"Aye aye, Cap'n." I replied, closing my eyes and starting the healing trance.

But I forgot to tell him I'd glow.

Fin~
