[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
A/N- Neh. Thank you Lilium_Shadow for reviewing.
Ah, and on a final note, in the first chapter I asked if you could guess where I got the name for the chimera-man. I mean Eric and Leon.
Just to say it, here's your chapter.
RERRERRERRERRERRERRERRERRERRERRERRERERRERERRERRERRERRERRERRERR ER
When they finally made it make to Eastern Headquarters, Ed had calmed down, if just by a bit. Well, at least it was better than nothing.
The first thing Hawkeye had done when they made it back was contact Al and Winry out in Resembool. Al, of course, had been estatic, promising to be there within two days. Eric had to muffle a laugh in his hand.
And, of course, Ed had to endure the many questions from everyone in the office at the time.
Fuery looked as if he was holding back the urge to just pet Ed. "Sir, how did it happen?" The spectacled man asked. Ed's ear twitched. He'd already told them how.
Roy looked on in amusement as Ed was continuously bombarded by questions and requests to touch the ears to prove that they were real. It was then that Hawkeye spoke up from behind Roy.
"Taisa, where is he going to stay?" Riza asked quietly. Roy turned his head to look at the woman. Hawkeye was the only one who hadn't started to ask Ed questions. Though it seemed that all the stuff Ed had to endure was annoying her, seeing as her hand was inching ever slowly to her gun.
"What do you mean?" Roy asked, turning his attention back to Ed. He could feel Riza's eyes on him, making him twitch ever so slightly. Sighing as she turned back to Ed, she replied.
"Taisa, he's a chimera. You can't think that the higher ups wont be interested in that," she said, catching something in Roy's eyes that most people would have missed. She grinned slightly, now understanding. "Well, I would suggest that you take care of him for the time being. At least untill we can apprehend Honkytonk."
Roy blinked, seeing the grin on Riza's face just as it disappeared. "Well, if I have to," He replied shrugging casually. "I guess I could take care of the shrimp."
Regaurdless of the position he was in, Ed heard Roy. "WHO ARE YOU CALLING SHORTER THAN A NEWBORN KITTEN?" Roy just raised his eyebrow in amusement.
"I didn't say that Fullmetal," He replied. Ed's ear twitched before his eyes widened.
“Wait, you said you’d be taking care of me?” Ed asked. Roy nodded. “Oh, HELL no!” Ed yelped. “THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL I’M STAYING WITH THAT BASTARD!”
Riza just chuckled slightly. “Edward, you have to. None of the rest of us could take care of you,” She pulled out her gun and pointed it at Ed. “Any objections?” Ed shook his head rapidly, braid whipping back and forth. “Thought so.”
And in that second, the temptation had become too much for Riza, she just had to touch Ed’s cat ears.
“What the?” Ed yelped, backing up. Riza’s face stayed blank.
“I just couldn’t help myself. I like cats,” she replied, putting her gun away. Everyone just stared at her, dumbfounded. Hawkeye liked cats? Roy smirked.
“Well Edward, looks like you were too cute for Hawkeye,” Roy said. Ed glared at Roy. Cute usually meant small. Roy just kept smirking.
Over in the corner in which Eric had retreated to, the wolf checked his pocket watch. His eyes widened as saw the time. “Five, four, three, two and . . . ”
There was a small poof. Ed yelped as smoke started to appear around him, everyone staring, save Eric, whose head was in his hand.
When the smoke cleared, Ed had disappeared. “Where’s Ed?” Roy asked, the worry barely evident in his voice. Eric sighed.
“Look down Taisa,” he said, pointing at where Ed had been. Everybody looked down.
There, sitting in Ed’s place, was a cat with golden fur. It was glaring up at Roy with golden eyes.
“Fullmetal?” Roy asked, surprised. Ed continued glaring as Roy picked him up. “Let me rephrase what I said earlier at Country’s place. NOW you’re as small as you always claim you are.” Ed hissed.
“Edward, you can talk,” Eric said, chuckling. Ed turned his glare to Eric.
“WHY IN THE HELL DIDN’T YOU TELL ME THAT EARLIER YOU GOD DAMN WOLF?” Ed yelled, save the fact his voice was now squeakier. Eric shrugged.
Roy looked surprised. Then an odd look crossed his features. “Get me Mizu, Country,” he said, still not putting Ed down, but holding the blonde kitten closer as Ed tried to scratch him.
“Yes, sir,” Eric darted out the door as Ed just glared at Roy.
“GOD DAMN IT COLONEL BASTARD, PUT ME DOWN!” Ed yelled. Roy smirked, dropping Ed.
Lucky for Ed, cats land on their feet. Ed glared up at Roy. “What? You asked me to put you down.”
“I DIDN’T ASK YOU TO DROP ME COLONEL SHIT!” Ed yelled. Roy just chuckled. By this point, most of the group had left, leaving only Roy, Hawkeye and Ed.
“Taisa, don’t be cruel to animals,” Hawkeye said. Roy chuckled and Ed glared.
“I’m not a god damn animal,” Ed mumbled to himself.
“We know that Edward,” Roy replied. “You’re a chimera, not an animal,” Ed blinked. Had the Colonel just defended him?
“Same difference, isn’t it?” Ed asked, his voice now at a low point. Roy just sighed.
“Always have to look on the bad side of things Fullmetal?” Roy asked. Ed stayed quiet.
It was then that the door to the room was reopened. The three looked over a saw Eric, who was being followed by a woman with shoulder length brown hair pulled back in a pony tail and glasses.
“Ah, thank you Country,” Roy said, nodding. Eric took one look at Roy and chuckled. The woman, assumingly Mizu, looked around.
“You wanted to talk to me?” She asked. Her uniform showed that she was two ranks higher than Roy, but they acted as though they were of equal rank.
“Yes, I did,” Roy replied. “We seem to have a problem,” he gestured at Ed, who was just sitting there. Mizu raised her eyebrow.
“What does the cat have to do with it?” She asked. Ed hissed at her.
“Not a cat,” Roy replied. “That’s Fullmetal,” Mizu blinked, before laughing.
“And just what in the hell is so funny?” Ed hissed. Mizu managed to pull herself together.
“I just never thought that the great Fullmetal Alchemist would have been beaten by a thylacine student of mine,” She chuckled. By this point, Hawkeye had felt that it was right to leave, and did.
The three sweatdropped. “Mizu, as much as I enjoy your stupidity, Fullmetal needs help,” Mizu coughed into her hand.
“Yes, yes. Ah, has anyone touched him since he took on this form?” She asked, pulling and pair of gloves out of her pocket and putting them on.
“Yes,” Roy replied, “I did,” Mizu frowned as she pulled a small book out of her pocket and started flipping through the pages.
“Well, I don’t know how to say this you Flamey, but . . .” She sighed, running a hand through her hair. “Um, do you by any chance have a favourite animal?”
Roy blinked. “Yes, I do. Why?”
Mizu grinned. “Fullmetal is highly contagious as a neko, and, well, you’re a chimera,” She finished, reaching up and poking something on Roy’s head. Eric was laughing loudly as Roy reached up and felt ears. Dog ears.
Roy groaned.
