Fullmetal Alchemist Fan Fiction ❯ Bluebird's Fantasy ❯ Moving out... ( Chapter 6 )

Sitting at his desk, supposedly going over papers, Sasuke was tapping his pen and looking at a photograph of him, Shirou-chan and Sakura altogether, all smiling, with the local butcher.

“Major…MAJOR!!” shouted a Lieutenant.

“Huh?! Oh sorry…” he apologized looking up.

“The general would like to see you…”

“I WON'T!” declared the stubborn old man. “I will not do something so…so” he spluttered.

“Despicable?” suggested Envy, leaning back against a desk. Lust was examining her fingers. She was probably debating over whether to run the man through with them or not to.

“Now, now Envy,” she said, “we're here to discuss a civil uprising here in the East against the capital, not to improve an imbecilic human's vocabulary.”

“Now see here! I'm not going to do what you're telling me to!” said the old man.

“Really?” said Envy, looking bored.

“Yes! You have no hold over me!”

“Is that so?” whispered Lust, nodding to Envy, who grinned hugely.

“Hey, general, you must be dying to see your wife now aren't you?” asked Envy maliciously.

“Well of course! But what does that have to…” he started then stopped dead.

In the corner, was Gluttony, holding the gagged woman's head in his teeth. The buffoon probably couldn't resist taking a chunk out of her, but Lust's word was absolute with the idiot. There was a knock on the door.

“Oh bummer!” growled Envy, signaling to Gluttony to get going, “just as it was getting interesting.”

“Don't forget what we said,” warned Lust, as the 3 homunculi left the building.

 

“General?” asked Sasuke tentatively as he opened the door. The old man looked haggard, spooked and worn out. “Oh…Major Kusanagi…nice to see you,” he said tiredly, “about..”

“Um…sir? If it wouldn't be so much trouble… Could…Could I take say…2 years off? I…I want to be with my family for a while…is that alright?”

The man seemed pained upon the word `family'.

“Yes of course! Go ahead…actually…take 3 years off! Spend as much time as you can with them…”

“Yes Sir!”
