Step 24



A/n: Number Twenty- four is here! Thank you for reading and reviewing. I really appreciate it!


Sakura: (Peeks around the place she is using as a hiding place.) Is he gone?
Envy: No. But you should thank Chibi - san. He decided that you had suffered enough and came to help.
Sakura: How?
Envy: He went and distracted Hughes for you.
Sakura: (Winces) Ouch.
Envy: Mm hmm. Now what are we going to do?
Sakura: What do you mean? What are we going to do?
Envy: (Raises an eyebrow) Chibi - san was in charge of the chapter, remember?
Sakura: Oh! You’re right!
Envy: (Smirking) Of course I am. I’m always right.
Sakura: What are we going to do?!
Envy: I just asked that!
Sakura: Well since Ed isn’t here, the choices are either me or you. So? Who do you think should be in charge?
Envy: Well, it’s obvious since you don’t have the skills to pull this kind of chapter off that I will have to be in charge. (Sigh) What I do for you Kitten.
Sakura: Of course, thank you Envy. . . . Hey! What do you mean I don’t have the skills?! Don’t make me prove to you that I do have at least a little skill.
Envy: How are you going to do that?
Sakura: By being in charge of this chapter!
Envy: (Grinning) By all means go ahead and be my guest.

Sakura: Fine! I may not have much but I at least have some skill.
Envy: Well, I’m waiting for you to prove me wrong.

Sakura: I don’t own them or Fullmetal Alchemist. No suing please. Time to prove that Envy isn’t always right!
Envy: (Grinning) I am so scared.



Step 24



A boy with long dark emerald green and glittering violet eyes sauntered down the hall of the mansion. Pale skin glowed in the moonlight when he passed a window and he was grinning evilly.


Envy stopped before Wrath’s door and knocked, waiting for the younger sin to open the door. Wrath hadn’t even gotten the door open all the way before Envy let himself walk through as the younger sin gave a sigh.


The green haired sin gave a grin and plopped down onto the other’s bed before saying. “Did you know that our dear friend Greed was still alive?” He asked casually. Wrath’s eyes widened as he replied tentatively. “Are you sure?”


“Of course I am. Why wouldn’t I be? I even spoke to him.” stated Envy irritably. Wrath came to stand before the other sin and seemed to be thinking about something. “Should we tell Master about him? I mean Master wanted him dead or on our side. So . . .” He trailed off uncertainly.


Envy raised an eyebrow at him before replying. “What would happen if I went on Chibi - san’s side, huh?” Envy asked nonchalantly as blue - violet eyes widened in shock.


“Envy? What do you mean? Besides what does that have to do with Greed? ” He asked cautiously. “Well, I’m just saying if Master thinks Greed is dead why bother telling her otherwise? We would just be sent to kill him and I’m going to kill him one day anyway. Besides I was the one who was almost sealed by the Master and probably would’ve been if she hadn’t needed my powers.” Envy drawled.


Wrath looked at him with curious eyes and then asked. “Envy? You just don’t want me to tell Master that Greed is alive because you two have some sort of war going on, right? Also, are you planning on going to Edward’s side? What? Does he have Reese’s cups or something?”


Envy just blinked in surprise at the dark brown haired sin before smirking. “Yes, Greed and I have a war going on. I was thinking about letting you join me. As for going to the good side with the alchemists. . . I don’t know yet. I’m actually thinking about it.” He said looking closely at Wrath.


“Why?” asked Wrath. The violet eyed sin just patted the seat next to him and Wrath sat next him a little apprehensively remembering the last time he had gotten up close and personal with the other while the older sin had been acting strangely.


“Envy had gone to chase Edward and had come back in a strange mood. Well stranger then usual. Then when I finally got my revenge he change into Mommy Sloth and I got beaten to a bloody pulp.” He thought wanting to wince at the memory.


“Lust already knows this and is keeping her mouth shut but I guess it wouldn’t hurt if you knew too. Me and Chibi - san are dating.” stated Envy seriously staring straight ahead at a wall.


Wrath looked at him in disbelief then closed his mouth that had been hanging open and then he blurted out. “When the hell did that happen?! How the hell did that happen?! Did you rape him?! Was he drunk?!” Envy just turned toward him with a raised eyebrow and then snorted before replying.


“No, I did not rape him. We haven’t even had sex yet. Stupid Chibi - san. And no he wasn’t drunk. At least I haven’t been able to tell if he’s drunk every time I’m with him. As for how and when? How the hell should I know?! It just happened. Done with your questions yet?” He muttered.


Wrath just nodded before a thought occurred to him. “I won’t tell Master. And if you do decided over to Edward’s side, I won’t tell Master about that either. She’ll have to find out by herself. I won’t tell anyone else either since I know even Lust probably doesn’t know about that.” Wrath stated resolutely.


Envy just reached and ruffled his hair playfully. “So? Do you want to help with my revenge on Greed? I have to warn you though. There will be one more person I’ll be asking to help with my plan.” He said warningly.


Wrath just nodded as Envy started to grin evilly. “Perfect” He purred.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Edward Elric stacked another research book onto the table and sighed, thinking. “Pretty soon I’m going to be as bad as Shciezscka. . . Then again maybe not. No one could be as bad as Shciezska.”


There was a knock on the door and he blinked aureate eyes as he paused in his task and gathered Reese’s cups wrappers, tossing them into the trash before going to answer the door.


What awaited him at the door surprised him, it was Envy and Wrath. Looks like he wasn’t the only one surprised. Wrath just looked at him in shock while Envy sauntered forward and kissed him in greeting.


It seemed that Envy liked to say hello like that lately and Edward wasn’t minding it that much to start yelling. After all they were only getting a few strange looks and a couple of girls had cat called at them once making the golden haired alchemist blush bright red.


Envy pulled back grinning playfully while Wrath was the same shade of red as the flaxen haired teen but with wide eyes. Then Wrath muttered. “I think I’m traumatized for life.” He just looked down at the younger sin while Envy raised an eyebrow.


“You’re not traumatized. Stop acting like we just killed your cat or something. I told you Chibi and I were dating before we came over here.” Envy said annoyed.


Ed realized that they were still in the doorway and then realized Envy had said that they were dating and felt himself blush.


“I really need to stop that.” He thought sighing mentally and felt his blush darken as Envy tightened his hold on him. “But I don’t think it’s going to be happening anytime soon.”


“We should move to the living room, don’t you think?” He asked amused having interrupted the two arguing over whether Wrath was an attention seeking momma’s boy and if Envy needed a dictionary to look up the word emotions and every emotion after that because apparently he was confused if he could fall in love with someone that he had hated and wanted deader than a doornail.



Both sins turned to look at him and Wrath blinked but nodded while Envy purred. “We can always finish the argument later. Besides I don’t need a dictionary, I do have to act when I borrow a form, you know? If I didn’t know anything about emotions I couldn’t fool anyone close to that form into thinking that I was really that person.”


Ed didn't reply but instead shut the door before following the other two into the other room and sitting down next to Envy who had taken up residence on the couch. “Okay, what are you two doing here?” he asked curiously.


Wrath frowned at that and Envy seemed to give him a sort of look but looked away. “I mean I would’ve understood Envy popping up even though he usually uses the window, so it’s completely natural for him to drop by but not you Wrath. That’s what I’m wondering about.” He explained.


Envy just grinned before wrapping an arm around him and the blond leaned into the embrace. Wrath seemed to be paying very close attention to them and it was making him nervous.


“Well there’s something you should know Chibi and it’s about Greed.” started Envy. He scowled and replied in confusion. “What do you mean? I killed Greed. Not like I had much of choice either. He wanted to die rather than go back your Master and he knew that your Master wouldn’t have left him alone. So he wanted to teach me how to kill a homunculus and to die by someone’s hands that could bring down your Master.” stated Ed sadly.



Wrath and Envy looked at each other for a moment before Wrath asked curiously. “Did he tell you all this before he died?” The golden eyed teen let himself shrug before saying. “Some of it but the rest I got from Al. I just had to put it together. I don’t know why he wanted to know how Al’s soul was bonded to his armor though.”


The green haired sin turned violet eyes toward his golden haired Chibi pensively. “Chibi? I found out a little while ago but Greed is alive.” He said hesitantly. The sin had to wonder what the alchemist’s reaction would be, both to the fact that Greed was alive and that he had been keeping it a secret. After all he had heard the guilt that had crept in when Chibi had said he killed Greed.



The blonde turned sharp golden eyes toward him and Envy felt a strange urge to wiggle in his seat while a little voice inside his head went. “You’re in so much trouble.”


“Greed . . . is . . . alive?” asked Ed slowly. He just nodded and gave a quick glance toward the smaller sin to see him hiding behind his chair with an ‘Oh shit’ look.


“And how long have you’ve known that he was alive, Envy?” He asked questionably. “Greed was the one who broke into my warehouse and stole all of my Reese’s cups and then when I track him down he said he gave them to Gluttony who by the way is in the mental hospital. Along with Mr. Sparkle and wonder, I hear they‘ve gotten close from what Lust tells me.” stated Envy casually.


The violet eyed sin was starting to panic, he had never seen the blonde alchemist act like this and it was getting him nervous and because he was getting nervous he was starting to panic.


Ed simply stood before facing the green emerald haired sin then he shouted.


“What the hell Envy?! Why didn’t you tell me that Greed was alive?! You must have known that I had felt guilty! You did say something about it when we fought for the first time after his death! We may still be enemies on the battlefield because we have to be but outside we’re not! We’re lovers! Want me to get a book for you?! You could be a little more sensitive! A least sensitive enough to tell me when someone I’ve killed has come back to life instead of hiding it from me! It was the first time I killed someone dammit!”


He was breathing hard by the time he was finished and was still glaring at the figure on the couch. Wrath had dropped his mouth open in shock during the blonde’s rant and slowly clicked it shut. “Where did he get all of that air?! Damn, was he loud. My ears hurt. Why did Greed need to teach him anything? He could kill us just by yelling at us. I think my ears are ringing.” thought Wrath wincing.


Envy was just looking at Ed and now it was the golden eyed boy’s turn to get nervous. “Maybe I did go a little overboard?” He thought anxiously.


“I’m sorry, Chibi.” muttered Envy. That statement made Ed’s eyes widen and Wrath looked like he was about to faint or have a heart attack or maybe both.


“I should’ve told you. It was your first time killing a person and even though Greed was a homunculus it still counts.” He murmured looking away uncomfortable.


Ed just smiled brightly knowing that to have Envy say he was sorry was something that was either rare or had never happened before. He planted himself in Envy’s lap causing the other to jump.


The golden eyed boy just gave Envy a chaste kiss wrapping his arms around the sin’s neck while Wrath was in the background making ‘Ewe’ faces and gagging motions and acting like he was trying to slice his own head off.


Ed pulled back giving the taller male a smile while Envy just grinned at him and they both looked over at Wrath who was turned away and glanced their way giving them a bored and innocent look making Envy raise an eyebrow.


Then Wrath grumbled. “You do know though that we have completely gone off the subject of what we were discussing, right?”


“Greed is alive. We’ve been over that now. Also Greed and I have always had a war going on between each other. He actually started it and it keeps going back and forth. Now I’ve enlisted Wrath’s aid in putting the plan I have into motion and getting my revenge for the latest incident. Now, I’m asking you Chibi.” Envy explained nonchalantly.


Ed just looked into violet eyes and felt himself nodding already. “Alright. I’ll help so tell me what I need to do.” He said resignedly. Envy just grinned before starting to explain the plan to both of them.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~


“What?!” shouted Wrath and Ed together. Envy was leaning back looking extremely pleased with himself with the blond alchemist still in his lap. “Are you sure that will work?” asked Ed nervously only to have Wrath follow his line of thinking.


“Yeah, Greed’s not stupid right? Won’t he know something is up? Master was easier to trick because she didn’t expect it but Greed is expecting you to either attack or try to trick him.” He said decidedly.


“That’s why it’s so perfect. It’ll work if we all do our parts. And don’t worry they won’t die.” purred Envy as he started to unbraid Ed’s golden hair making the teen blush.


“So when do we start putting the plan into motion?” asked Wrath. The green haired sin paused running his fingers through Ed’s now unbraided hair and thought for a moment. “Tomorrow. I don’t know how much longer Kimbley will be in Central so the sooner the better.” He finished decisively.


“Okay, then I’ll see you at that huge park in the middle of the city around noon. I’ll leave you two alone now.” muttered the blue - violet eyed sin quickly before leaving hurriedly.


The flaxen haired teen shivered as Envy resumed running his fingers through his hair. A thought occurred to him and wouldn’t go away so he voiced it. “You tricked your Master?” He asked curiously.


He felt Envy tense slightly before replying casually. “Yep, got her drunk and led her to someone else’s house. She ended up sleeping with them and woke up horrified.”


“Won’t you get into trouble if your Master finds out it was you?” He asked sleepily. Edward could feel Envy relax as he replied coolly. “More than just into trouble Chibi. She’ll probably kill me. But she doesn’t see it as killing she sees it as disposing of the weak and pathetic.”


Ed just murmured. “Secret’s safe with me.” Then Envy remember something and asked curiously. “Oh yeah. Chibi? Are you drunk?”





Sakura: Well?
Envy: You only mentioned Reese’s cups three times.
Sakura: (Pouts) I know. But there was some comedy and romance and plotting. Doesn’t that count?
Envy: (Rereads script) Hmm. Okay, I’ll forgive you this time. Since I got Chibi - san’s hair down finally. But I’m still pissed that you made me apologize.
Sakura: Don’t worry about the Reese’s cups they will be more in the next chapter. Your plotting saw to that, remember?
Envy: I know. Is Chibi - san going to show up for the next chapter or is he still being tortured?
Sakura: I don’t know. Think we should go look for him? And bring the first aid kit?
Envy: Yes, but if Hughes is near him. . . He’s on his own.
Sakura: I concur.

Envy: Read and review. You want to know what happens, right?
Sakura: (Sigh) Envy.

Sakura: I’m sorry about the cliffhanger. I know this seems like a three part chapter. But it’s not. It’s an Envy chapter with some Ed thrown in. But it discusses the beginning of what going to happen. But the real chapter will be next week and we will see Envy’s plan bloom when-(Gets jumped on by Envy)

Envy: (Glaring) No wonder Chibi - san was getting annoyed. You want to blow all my plans and plotting away?!
Sakura: Mmfph!

Envy: Read and review. She’s sorry for the lack of candy but at least you got more story to compensate. Also I will be in charge of the next chapter if Chibi - san isn’t here. Were about to start looking for him. Isn’t that right, Kitten?

Sakura: (Nodding) Mphf!
Envy: (Purrs) Good. No more telling people my plans.
