Thanks for reviewing! I'm going to try and update more often now but school started so it will be hard T-T I'll try and update every two weeks. I don't own FMA, obviously. Here's the next chapter. Enjoy!
Spinning, his ears laid back with irritation, he was surprised to see the one blocking his escape "Oh my god!" his fur spiked up "It's Cupcake!"
The short man spluttered "Cupcake!" he glared down at the small cat "My name is not Cupcake!" straitening his tie he flashed a smile, trying to look impressive "I'll have you know that I am a very important perso-"
Ed walked away. He simply glared at the man in front of him and walked away. This did not go well with Cupcake. His face lit up like someone had colored it with a red marker. Before Ed could take another step a foot lashed out an caught him around his side. An unpleasant crack resonated through his small frail cat body.
"Wow," Ed wheezed, trying to keep from passing out as he stumbled a few feet away from the fuming man "You're fast for a fat man..." his words were reworded with another kick. Ed smirked through the pain his eyes flaring with determination "I honestly thought I could just bounce off your stomach," he glared up at him "You know, like a spring." he waved his tail for emphasis.
Cupcake was mad now. He looked like he was ready to blow his top as he reached for something slung around his belt. The metallic screech told Ed that he was probably going to be skinned with a very sharp knife. But what the heck, he was having to much fun.
Before he could say more than another insult the large man lunged forward, his knife flashing. Ed braced for missile of fat and a very small but sharp knife to crush him but the weight never came. Cautiously he opened one golden eye.
Al was standing in front of him. A limp body hanging from his hand, a small groan escaped the man. Roy was standing beside the unconscious figure of the mad that had captured Ed.
"Ha!" Ed yowled triumphantly "Thanks Al!" he shot a quick nod to the colonel. There was no way he would thank that bastard aloud.
He was about to shoot a snarf remark at him about the fact that he had actually saved Ed but a wave a dizziness washed over him. The light was covered by a blanket of black as his legs gave out under him, the ground rushing up to meet him.
(Roys Pov)
Roy was pissed to say the least. He glared at the man unconscious at his feet, pressing his foot into his side sharply "Damn," he muttered, if only he had moved faster...
His thoughts were cut off by a cry of alarm from Al. The golden cat known as Ed stumbled and collapsed, a small poof of dusk fanning around his body. Roy practically ran forward and knelt down beside the cat, gently prodding the unconscious figure.
After Al picked up Ed, Roy sighed "We should get the location of the alchemist from these two." Roy waved a hand at the two people on the ground "It will make out search faster."
Al nodded and bent down to pick up his brother, gently cradling him in his metal arms.
After getting the train moving again Roy threw their two prisoners into a different car, grunting with effort as he tried to throw the larger one.
"Once they wake up we can question them." he said, returning to his seat.
Al was gently stroking Ed, taking the opportunity to pet him while his brother was asleep. Ed's sighed contentedly and shifted in his sleep. Roy smirked and made a mental note, who knows when that scene may be useful to bribe a certain golden haired pipsqueak.
Ed twitched in his sleep, his face twisting into an irritated growl "Who are you calling small..." he muttered, jumping in alarm Roy banged his head against the seat.
Swearing loudly and rubbing the back of his head he looked back down a the cat in Als lap, then back up to Al.
"Um.. Are you alright Colonel?" Al asked, if he could make a worried face he would probably be doing it now, he tilted his head to the side his armor clanking with the movement.
Still rubbing his head, Roy nodded "Sorry about that, I'm ok." he flinched a his head throbbed with pain, he was definitely going to have a bruise. And it was all Fullmetals fault.
Scowling he lanced down at Ed, he was once again sleeping peacefully in his brothers lap. Trying to stay mad at a cat was more than a little hard, even though Roy was more of a dog person he had to admit the cat Ed had been switched with was cute. Shaking his head he tried to throw away the thought, referring to his subordinate as 'cute' was too unsettling.
All the events of the day finally caught up to him, a wave a tiredness washed over him as he finally began to relax. His eyelids felt heavy and his eyes dry. Yawning he shifted into a more comfortable position and leaned against the side of the train, the droning of the moving train made him even more tired.
Al will watch out for trouble, he convinced himself, and I won't be any help if I'm tired. After reassuring himself that all would be fine he closed his eyes and allowed the darkness of sleep to overtake him, wrapping him in its dark shroud.
Sorry for the short chapter! I'm going through writers block and couldn't really think of what to write. If you have any ideas, and at all, please post them! About the next chapter, I have a three day weekend so I'll definitely be able to write a longer one. Thanks for reading! Please review.
