Step 19
A/n: I'm back again! I would like to once again thank all of the people who are reading and reviewing my story.
Envy: (Banging on Sakura's door) C'mon Chibi - san! Come out of there! She not that scary!
Sakura: He's still in there?
Envy: Yep.
Sakura: Hmm. I have a plan.
Envy: Ohh? What is it?
Sakura: (Starts whispering in Envy's ear.)
Envy: (Grins evilly as a light covers his body)
(Envy has changed into Izumi.)
Envy: EDWARD! IF YOU DON'T COME OUT RIGHT NOW I'LL . . .
(They hear the sound of running and the door is slammed open.)
Sakura: Look! He's out!
Envy: (Changes back into his normal form.) Had a good nap Chibi - san?
Ed: . . . .
Sakura and Envy: Huh?
Ed: Both . . . of you.
Envy and Sakura: . . . What?
Ed: Both of you are . . . dead!
Sakura: Run! Mad blonde on the loose!
Envy: (Being chased by Ed)
Sakura: Nope! I don't own them! Now let's get going! (Screams and starts running as Ed locks on her.)
Step 19
Ed looked up at the house with a depressed look on his face. “Brother? Shouldn't we go in?” asked Alphonse timidly. The blonde alchemist then felt an arm wrap around his waist.
He could feel the tension start to leave his body. He looked up to see violet eyes peering down at him. He blushed but grinned and replied. “Sure Al! What's the worst that can happen?”
There was a loud bang as the front door slammed opened. Standing there was a tall woman with black dreadlocks pulled back into a ponytail. Both Elrics froze like deer while Envy raised an eyebrow.
Izumi smiled and said cheerfully. “I'm so glad you're here! I was starting to worry!” Ed gave her an incredulous look complete with jaw drop. If Al could have he would have had the same look.
The sin just tilted his head slightly to the side curiously. “Am I at the wrong house?” wondered Ed in shock.
Izumi stepped forward and gave both boys a hug before turning toward Envy with a smile. “Hello, my name is Izumi Curtis. I'm both Edward's and Alphonse's teacher. Nice to meet you.” She said brightly.
The blonde looked like he was about to have a heart attack and leaned against Al. Envy only blinked but replied. “I'm Envy” The black haired woman nodded and turned back toward the other two, saying. “Lunch is already ready. Come on in.”
Sig had just finished putting the last dish on the table when they walked in. He gave a nod of greeting receiving two halfhearted waves. “Honey, this boy here is Envy. He's a friend of Edward's. Isn't that great?!” explained Izumi.
Sig just nodded before leaving. Ed blinked before saying as everyone was sitting down. “I'll be right back.” The green haired sin raised an eyebrow before starting to get up. Ed gave a grin and gave a gesture telling him to stay.
The blonde went through the door and then down the hall. He entered the butchery and spotted Sig attending to some meat. “Hey, Sig.” He called. The tall man turned around with a bloody butcher knife in his hand.
Ed jumped slightly before giving an uneasy grin. “He looks like he would fit in a horror story better than a butcher store.” He thought anxiously.
“Um . . . Why is Teacher acting so . . . . Cheerful?” He asked. Sig just stared at him making him start to fidget. But Sig replied. “She ate over twenty large bags of M and M's.”
Edward blinked. “You mean she's on a sugar high right now?!” He asked incredulously. The man just nodded before going back to his meat and thus ending the conversation. Ed walked back slowly and sat down without anyone noticing.
Izumi suddenly turned toward him and he gave a small smile. “Edward! Where have you been! I thought you weren't coming back! It's not very nice to worry your teacher like that!” She said brightly with a small pout.
They had finished eating and Ed had dragged Envy out into the backyard. The blonde was currently sitting under a tree with Envy lying on his back with his feet on the tree.
Ed couldn't stop the soft chuckle that came out of his mouth. Envy almost looked like a cat sunning itself. Envy lazily opened one eye and looked at him. “Hmm? By the way where did you go?” He asked casually.
Ed smiled and replied. “Do you have to know everything I do?” His response was an `Of course' before saying. “I followed Sig and asked him why Teacher was acting . . . so . . . er . . . different. He said she had eaten a lot of M and M's earlier in the morning. Now she's on a sugar high.”
The green haired homunculus raised an eyebrow in curiosity before Al came running up. “Brother! Spar with me! Please!” He asked excitedly. “Sure Al.” He replied smiling brightly with a small laugh.
The sun had started to set already and the trio walked through the door as Sig was once again setting the table.
He had taken off his usual red coat and black shirt. He only had his black tank, pants, and boots on. Ed rubbed his arm wincing slightly. He knew he was going to have quite the number of bruises in the morning.
After watching them for an hour Envy had said he wanted to join them sparing.
The sin had wanted to spar with Ed first. “Of course.” thought Ed, sighing.
Surprisingly enough the blonde had been able to hold his on while Alphonse had gotten his helmet served to him. Ed had a sneaking suspicion that the sin had gone easier on him than usual due to certain circumstances.
“No matter what happens between us. Envy would never do something like that. A fight is a fight. But . . .” He trailed off. Envy leaned over and whispered seductively in his ear. “Did I go too hard on you Chibi - san? Want me to kiss and make it better later?”
He gave his ear a little nip before pulling back slowly. Ed felt a shiver run down his spine and a blush heat up his face. Izumi suddenly appeared at the door and he felt something hit him in the forehead, knocking him backwards.
He picked it up and stared at the small red M and M in confusion.
Ed blinked as a shadow came over him and found Izumi standing over him glaring. He just gulped nervously. She held up five orange wrappers. “What are these?” She asked quietly. His eyes widened in fright as he started to back up.
“Reese's cups” answered Envy grinning. She turned her glare towards him and Ed watched him scoot back in his chair a little, making his eyes widen even more. She turned her black eyes towards him again.
“What do I not allow in my house?” She asked once again in that quiet voice. “Reese's cups” murmured Ed. She nodded and smiled. “Very good. Now I know that you knew what you were doing was wrong. Now you boys have to be punished. Hold still please.” said Izumi.
Envy blinked and pointed to himself looking at Sig. The big man shook his head `No' and Envy just grinned. Edward picked himself up and started to run towards the door only to be slammed into a wall. “I SAID HOLD STILL! DON'T YOU KNOW WHEN TO FOLLOW ORDERS?! YOU SHOULD, SEEING AS YOU'RE A DOG OF THE MILITARY! LOOKS LIKE YOU NEED TO BE RETRAINED! I WILL BE THE ONE TO PUT YOU BACK ON YOUR LEASH!” bellowed Izumi before grabbing Al who squeaked.
“Me too?! Why me?!” Sig ignored the situation and just continued to eat. Envy though watched the brothers getting beaten to a bloody pulp while eating a Reese's cup, grinning. “At least it's not me. Chibi willtry to kill me if he finds out that I put these in his suitcase.” He thought chuckling as Al was sent through the dining room door.
Sakura: (Pants) I finally out ran him.
Ed: I don't think so!
Sakura: Look! It's over!
Ed: (Sighs) I'll let you off the hook this time, Sakura.
Sakura: (Hugs Ed) Thank you! Um. . Where's Envy?
Ed: Unless you want to join him. Don't ask me that.
Sakura: O . . . okay.
Sakura: Please read and review like usual! I hope you enjoyed it!
