((GAAHHH!!! *stabs computer* It's being a pain!))

"Sweet....Talk? What is that?" She tilted her head and looked confused a moment.
"Riza...I hope that your loyalty...is well rewarded.
But...one thing, before you go....tell...Colonel Mustang..." Kiri's eyes shut in a smile, then opened slitted and dark.
"That I'll see him very...very soon." She looked at the change of guard and narrowed her eyes at their Lab uniforms.
"He can't possibly hope to keep me in here...they'll have to take me out of this tank sooner or later....and I'm not about to die until they do..." She bent her head and smiled.
"Prayer might not do me any good...if it has in the past...but I wonder..if Heaven forsakes me...would Hell lend me it's power?"

"Brother...what are we going to do?" Alphonse and Edward walked out of the School, after finally hitching another ride since their first driver left them high and dry. Edward scratched the back of his head and shook it looking around.
"I don't know Al...I really..don't know."
"WHY NOT!! You're the Fullmetal Alchemist! You always know what to do in these situations!"
"Don't you think I'm worried too!?" He turned on ALphonse with a vicious bite, then looked away.
"I'm sorry Al....I'll think of something...but as for now..we've got to go back to East City...maybe...maybe Scar really is there...maybe..."

[awww *gives computer medicine, then threatens its life "get better or youll have to face ME!"]
Riza just shook off her innocent question and stopped as a guard stopped her from entering the building.
Riza saluted to Kiri, her eyes brimming, wondering if she did the right thing. Her lip quivered, hearing her words and she turned away, heading for the truck to head back to Central.

"Get me out of here, lets go."
I grinned and spoke.
"Will you set me free after I let you out?" I had full control over our bodies, and all I had to do was cut my hair and put on a hat, they'd never know I escaped. I didnt know how long I'd last with him screaming in my head; he even knew I was planning this.
"SHIBA! Unfuse us now! Or---"
"Or what?" I grinned. "I have the power now. Youre just a small voice in my head."
He fell silent as I pulled on his clothes. My chest was about half the size; I simply took my bra off and threw it on top of my coat and pulled on his shirt then pants. Pulling on the gloves and boots, I looked at my reflection in a puddle and shook my head.
"This hair wont do..." I snapped, knowing his alchemy now, and ignited my shot hair to the length of his. I grinned and ran my hand through it.
"Piece of cake. Now I just gotta act like a jerk and slap around a few orders, no problem."
He retaliated in my head.
"You won't get away with this! YOU HEAR ME?!"
I waved my hand.
"yeah yeah, I hear ya, now shut up." I clapped and made a dummy of myself in the cell; it was perfect down to the detail. I grinned, picking up my clothes and shoving them into my backpack and slung it over my shoulder and headed for the exit.

I was greeted my Armstrong.
"Sir!" he saluted.
I looked to him; he was very intimidating.
"At ease, soldier. I'm relieveing you of your duties for tonight, go home."
His eyes widened.
"But sir, the girl-"
"Don't worry about the girl, she's not going anywhere."
Armstrong nodded and reluctantly walked off.
I grinned and headed for the exit.
A clean get away...

((XDD LOL))

She smiled nodding her head at the salute and bowed as much as she could in the tank. Riza..however suited for war...was still good natured. She only hoped that her warning...and her promise would be relayed to the Colonel.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" She asked one of her escorts.
"I'm pretty sure that this is a bad idea." Already she was using the hollow of her cheek as a resevoir of saliva, as soon as she got a chance....it would be a good start. She touched her cheek and winced...the wound was still bleeding and her head was beginning to get heady...she wondered if she would ever get a chance to heal it before she lost too much blood.
Damn you Mustang... She glowered looking at the blood that stained her fingers.
The War isn't over...

I took the keys off a front desk and someone asked me where I was going.
"I have to talk with the Elrics, I'll be back" i said and headed out the door. Once in the clear of the night, I sprinted towards the buggy the keys belonged to, hopped in and sped off. Roys driving skills...thank you!
He groaned in my head and I headed off towards East City.

After 2 hours of driving, I pulled up at my school and looked around, but saw no sign on the boys. I then saw Al's head over a fence and sped forward and sharply turned and rode beside them. I popped my head out the window.
"Hey boys, need a lift?" I grinned- I still looked like Mustang more than anything.

"What the hell do you want now Mustang? I thought you've had enough of giving me orders for this month." Edward sat on his own case and sighed.
"Or was there someone else you want me to kill?"
"Wait Edward." Alphonse stepped forward as the car pulled to an abrupt stop. He looked closely at the slender face...and the oddly shaped eyes...
"Shiba?" He asked. He wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't watched her before...but this was completely diffrent.
"Is that really you?"

I grinned and snapped a finger, igniting a nearby plant on fire.
"Whoops, I'm not used to that, but yeah Al, you're right. Why am I not suprized that you recognize me and Edward doesnt..? Well c'mon, get in the car, we have a long drive ahead of us." I smiled at Ed warmly; that same smile I would give him always, just in Roy's body.
"Or Ed, do you want me to give you an order?" I whipped him a lustful smile, Roy screamed in my head, making me blush.
"Oh come now Mustang, i was only teasing." I said aloud.

((XDDD I WAS WAITING ON IT!!! XDD Fangirl's dream come true X3))

Alphonse looked back at Edward and then shrugged, climbing into the back. Edward..however, threw his bag into an empty seat and knelt in the front by Shiba..and studied her carefully.
"Shi...ba?" He quirked an eyebrow...then leapt at her, throwing his arms around her shoulders, squeezing tightly.
"Thank God you're alright!!" He stopped then and looked around. With a cough, he settled, quickly, back into his seat and turned his head away.
"Mustang...I'll forget if you will."
"Ha ha! Edward give it up, you're as happy as I am to see Shiba here, even if she had to steal Roy's body to do it."

[AWWW MAHHH GAWDDD MUST DRAWWW!!!!!XDDD will be my next siggie LOL]
I looked to him and kept my face straight into a grin, then he pounced; I would have enjoyed it, naturally, if Roy wasn't screaming our brains out in my head. I flailed my arms and smiled at him as he released.
"Roy says he will forget. But you know what I say... Edward Elric is dead sexy... in a miniskirt!" I laughed aloud as he made us blush, yet again and I waved my hand and started up the car.
"okay okay, the prince wants us to hurry up so we can get separated. Just remember Ed- you owe me a hug once Roy is long gone." I smiled at him, sending him a wink. I floored the gas as he headed towards Central. The windows down, the summer night air blew in and i yelled to them over the gust of the air in the car.
"So, you boys miss me or what?" I laughed.
"Oh and I didn't steal Roys body. He wanted to know all my secrets so I did it the easy way. I just... told him I wont unfuse us...not just yet anyway." I smiled, sticking my tongue out at Edward in the passenger seat.

((Can't wait to see it X333))

Edward turned with a fury..and then stopped.
"That was just mean Shiba....I can't hit you..." He smirked as Shiba sped off.
"So I take it..Roy isn't too happy right now huh." He laughed.
"That's too funny!! You can count on that hug Shiba...as soon as you're back to normal, it's coming your way!"
"Of course!"
"Of course!" Both Elrics echoed.
"I thought that was the same as stealing?" Alphonse chuckled, he couldn't help it...really. Mustang had made it a point to be a pain the last time he saw him...so for Shiba to have 'borrowed' his body, seemed a poetic justice.
"So where are we going? Surely someone's going to miss the Colonel if he isn't back in Central within a certain time limit."

I laughed aloud and made a cat-like expression.
"But youre so hot without a shirt on...and all tied up? So inviting...." I teased, Mustang was starting to give me a headache and I laughed, shaking my head and rubbing my temple.
"Ahh as much fun I'm having making the both of you freak out, I need to stop before Roy has me executed for man-raping you" I laughed; he screamed even louder.
I looked forward and got serious again.
"Why, I'm going to have the 'evil homoncouls" freed. A quick phone call, and she'll be free. Hopefully she won't come back around for a while after this escapade... and Scar will keep her on a tight leash this time."
I did a sharp turn, sending Ed and Al practically rolling to the left, Eds face hit my arm.
"Seatbelt, Edward. We have a long way to go."

Edward shot her a sideways glance....and then shuddered. She'd do it too....
I'll have to remember to thank the Colonel for that intervention there...guh..He shuddered again then was flung practically into her lap, he sputtered and almost flew back to his seat and jerked the belt over his shoulder and tightened it as much as he could.
"We're going to help Kiri!?" Alphonse's smile was evident in his voice.
"Yeah...so it seems..but do you really think that she's going to stay away this time...even if it is for her own good...she seems really attatched to you now." Edward studied the landscape.
"I bet His Highness isn't taking this lightly either is he?" He pointed to Shiba's uniform and raised both his brows in amusement.
"He's going to want to kill us all."

Roy shrieked in my head as he felt Ed hit our arm, and was dangerously close to our lap.
"Calm down hot-head. He'd not doing anything..." I said to him aloud.
"I wont let him, not in your body anyway..." I grinned, whipping a stare to Ed and Al who probably had no clue as to what i was talking about.
I nodded to Al, looking at him in the rear-view mirror.
"You bet! And Roy isn't happy, but he saw how she acted...in my memories and decided to let her be free...as long as she says with me and cuts all her ties with Scar, which I don't think she'll be too happy about." I made a sharp turn again and finally pulled up to Central and got out, running my hand though my hair. I stopped and walked around to Ed's side of the car and poked my head in the passenger window.
"Do me a favor will yah? Use some of you alchemy magic on my hair and make it black? I don't even remember how they didn't notice that last time..." My hair was a dark blue shade and I grinned at him.
"When we unfuse, I'll have shorter hair." I pulled a black ink pen from Roys pocket and handed it to him.
"use this to coat it.. I'll worry about getting the color out later."

Somehow Edward didn't believe that Mustang was just going to let her go...but he took the pen and nodded at any rate.
"I thought he wanted to kill all Homunculi...what's changed now Mustang...surely it's not just the way she acts." He smirked, taking the cap off the pen and breaking the ink well, black flowed over Shiba's dark blue hair and with a clap, it was coated black as shoe polish.
"That should work for a while." He turned as Alphonse stepped out onto the street.
"Another day, another rescue right Al?"
"Right. For a Dog of the Military, you're quite the Hero Edward."
((Gomen last one...I'll be on all day tomorrow, since we're having our Fall Festival X3 I love free days!))

[oh my gawd yay!!! ill be in class, so I know i wont get anything done LOL. But im doing all my work digitally tomorrow, so I'll have an excuse LOL]
I winked at him and gave him the thumbs up.
"Thanks. You coming in to see my performance as your boss?" I smiled, standing up straight. I made a note not to run my hand over my hair- the ink would probably come off on my glove.
"Mustang says he doesn't want to fight with you..and me anymore. He just is going to say she escaped and focus on trying to catch Scar than trying to catch a needle in a haystack. He says I just have to keep her with me at all times... and make sure she stays out of trouble. And if she acts up, for you to report it to him." I crossed my arms.
"You sure are stern, aren't you Roy?"
I sighed and looked to the building.
"We should hurry; who knows what Kiri is going through right now."

((*shifty eyes* X3 couldn't help it, blame my music.))

"Of course...I've got to see that." Edward smirked.
A needle huh...guess he's the one that's forgotten about Huges.. Edward turned and motioned for Al.
"Let's move."

"I warned you didn't I?" Kiri dusted off her hands and looked around to the trashed room. Broken glass and spilled material littered the floor in the aftermath of the struggle and groans sounded from the guards and lab workers that had escaped the brunt of her onslaught..the others...remained still.
"I can't die here...not by your hands. Forgive me...but it was you or I." She turned with a sad look and stepped over the body of one of her escorts to make her way out of the door.

[XDD works for Me <3 the more rp the better XD <3]
I closed my eyes for a second before Armstrong came bounding out of the building.
"SIR! We've been looking all over for you! The lab in New Hiessgart..." he panted.
"Most of the men there are dead! She slaughtered them all sir! We await you orders!"
I stepped forward and made a fist.
"WHAT?!" I groaned and sent Ed a frantic stare. I then took a deep breath and looked to Armstrong.
"Gather the men. We have a prisoner to catch." Roy screamed in my head, but was glad did the right thing.

Armstrong saluted and dashed back into the building, sending poses and pink sparkled commands left and right.
Images of Hughes and his child ran though my head... I nodded and sighed. I muttered to Ed;
"Maybe Roy was right this whole time... she was just laying dormant until someone pissed her off...This Hughes... we should pay him a visit sometime. I personally never met him... but I feel like I have known him for a long time now." I thanked Roy in my thoughts and took a deep breath.
As I was about to jump into the car, when the van from earlier pulled up, and Riza jumped out. Seeing all the commotion, she ran towards me.
"Sir, whats going on, I was only-" she stopped and stared at me. I took a step back, Roy laughed in my head, telling me she could tell the difference in no time; they spent most time together.
"S-sir? Are you okay? You.. look different..." I sent her a handsome stare, placing my thumb on my chin and wrapping my arm around her.
"Lieutenant Hawkeye... I mean.." I lowered my voice, in a sexy tone, "...Riza. I want you to go back to my place and wait for me there. This mission is too dangerous for you. And please... wear a mini skirt, just for me..." I took her hands into mine and looked into her eyes deeply.
She blushed and looked to him.
"But sir, going into another officers home is forbidden!"
I sent her a lustful smile.
"Well then... I guess I'll just ask Armstrong over for dinner then..."
Roy was having a tantrum in my mind, I could only try to ignore him. I blushed, as he did.
She nodded and saluted.
"Ill be there sir, be careful!" She ran off to the van and it sped off.
I ran a thumb under my nose.
"One down, lets go!" I pointed to the car and jumped in and waited for the boys.
Armstrong popped his head out.
I waved to him. "I'll meet you there!" Armstrong nodded and disappeared once again.
[*gasp* these damn posts with me talking to myself >.>]

((lol X3 They make me chuckle.))

"She did what!?" Edward and Alphonse both started at the news. This made things cmplicated.
Damn it Kiri...you just couldn't wait to get out of there could you!? But then again...how could you have known...Damn...
"Sh--Colonel Mustang.." There was nothing else he could bring himself to say...there was no time for words at any rate.
" Even if he was right, there's no time to waste! We've got to hurry!" Edward brushed past all of them, and only waved to the First Lieutenant and jumped into the passenger seat, joined shortly after by Alphonse.

"Damn...." Kiri sat behind the terrace with her knees curled into her chest overlooking the courtyard...so many soldiers...A shot rang past her ear and she cried out in surprise. Debri shot past her face and scratched her shoulders and face, she looked at the blood and turned away, tightening her ball.
"GO AWAY!!!" She screamed.
"I JUST WANT OUT OF HERE!!!" Another bullet was her only answer. She fell silent and buried her face into her forearms.
"Aniki...."

[ XD]
I started the car and began to drive before Alphonse had even shut the door and headed east.
"Ed.. this changes everything... I know Roy wants her dead now..and in fear of other lives... a part of me knows he's right... I love the soft side of her, but i'm afraid of her..." I said, looking over at him.
"If we ever made her mad..who knows what she'd do.." I sighed, turning hard to the right. A few army vehicles flew past us, and I floored the gas.
"What.. should we do? Should I unfuse and let Mustang take her out? I..just can't do it..." My eyes swelled up as I looked to Ed in the passenger seat.

Edward only gripped his head and shook it violently.
"I-I...I don't know....Mustang...has the right..idea...but..." He turned and saw her face.
"Shiba...Let him out...I don't want you getting hurt if anything should happen to the Colonel...Kiri fought him tooth and nail last time..she may not see the diffrence now..." He didn't want to...but Edward steeled himself in case he would have to intervene....or watch her die from the sidelines.

More soldiers...Kiri's head popped up over the concrete edge and sighed...vehicles pulled into the Lab courtyard and more soldiers filed out of the back...was there no end to them!? Was the no end to the lives that she would have to go through to gain her freedom? Was there no end to the Sins that she would have to bear?
"Everyone just keeps adding their crap to my pile...don't they?"

I nodded and looked to him.
"We need to pull over, hold on tight!" I swerved into an alleyway, almost hitting a wall. Roy screamed within, yelling that I should never drive again. I laughed.
"I only know how to drive as you did, Roy. So that makes you a reckless driver too." I stopped the car and jumped out. I looked to Edward.
"I may be weak after this one, I'm not sure... because Scar had that mark on his arm, I dont know if that drained my energy last time or not, but I know for sure I wont be able to use alchemy for a few days after separating,so you'll havta protect me.." I stood in front of the car, out of the way of prying eyes on the seemingly empty street. Only in Roys shorts I sighed and spread my feet apart and after a minute I jerked my head up, clapped and slammed my fingers into my/our chest. In a massive red flash, I was flung into the hood of the car, topless, but in undies I laid face down.
Roy looked at his hands and his body in utter amazement.
"I gotta try that sometime.." he grinned, pulling on his pants.
I rolled my head up and blushed at the massive heat that the car's hood gave off; I forgot that I didnt keep my bra on when Roy and I were fused and I looked to Ed though the windshield.
"Could you... hand me my backpack?" I smiled at him sheepishly and stuck out my tongue. My forehead covered in sweat, my hair was now short, long in the front and slanted to a short style in the back [i will draw this]. It had a black and blue ink pattern from the idea from earlier.

Both boys let out a yelp as they were flung once more to the side and then roughly back to their starting position.
"If you're not sure how these fusions are going to go, why do them!?" He glared at Shiba, but then said nothing more. He had been given his orders...even though they wern't directly from Mustang...but it looked that way.
"SHIBA!"
"SHIBA!" Both Elrics made a move for her, and let out a sigh of relief when she looked up, blushing.
"Here." Alphonse said handing her bag up front.
"Are you going to be alright?"

I let out a weak laugh and threw my coat on, wrapping up my topless self for the time being and sat up, still on the hood of the car.
"Save youre lecture...and Roy wanted to know everything...and know he does...and so do I..." I smiled and looked to his gloves.
"I need to get me a pair of those." I grinned.
I sighed and ordered the three of them to about-face as I dressed in some kind of privacy. Mustang just grinned.
"Why? I know what you look like naked, why not?" I picked up a rock and threw it at him, he merely moved aside as it hit a trash can and she shrugged, about facing.

Edward sighed, and did as he was asked, turning his head away and making it a point to move to the front of the alley to make sure that no one else was going to see.
What a pain this has turned into.... He turned to look at Alphonse who had joined him.
"Al..."
"I know brother...I know." A silent remorseful moment passed between them, and they sighed. They would have to weigh what was more important...one life..or the lives of many.

I dressed quickly and then ran up behind Ed and Al, swinging my arm around Edward's shoulders, another around Al's waist- he was too tall for me to reach his shoulders.
"What do you think of my hair? I did my best in the short time I had.." I ran my hand though it, still patched with ink.
"I'll need a good hot shower after this one..."
Roy nodded in agreement, climbing into the driver's seat.
"C'mon, I have a homoncoulus to get rid of." I looked back at him and nodded, releasing the boys and climbing in the back seat, sitting next to a window- I wasn't a fan of the passenger seat, and I let out a long breath and looked to them.
"Lets guuuu before she slaughters the whole army!" i waved to them.


Pulling up out front, Armstrong was dumbfounded by the massive slaughter; he just couldn't believe one woman did this, and he struggled to find his voice.
"Kiri.. so much for being a 'nice' one, huh?" He whipped off his top, and flexed, sending pink sparkles every which way, like throwing stars.
"I won't be gentle this time sweety!! FACE THE ARMSTRONG LEGACY FULL FORCE!! HUAHHH!!" He slammed a massive right into the ground and sent it cracking to where she was perched.

Edward turned and returned her embrace, squeezing her tightly, as did Al when he let go.
"It looks...diffrent..that's for sure." With a nod, both boys hopped into the car once more, Alphonse in the back with Shiba, Edward..begrudgingly took the front.
Slaughter...might not be the word for it.

"Like I care!" She called back defiant.
She looked back and merely cartwheeled out of the way, when she came to rest standing only a few feet from the cracked roof, she turned and looked over the entire force that had gathered.
"Why am I the only monster here!? You've sent me here to be experimented on! What was I supposed to do! Let it happen with a smile! I think not, this is my choice, to fight for the life I've been given. Your Alchemists created me! Your Army tried to kill me...What I am...YOU have made me!" A rush of lights and sounds came flooding back into her mind, time reversed for her, and she could see what she had not been able to remember before....Marcoh...one Tim Marcoh...her creator..couldn't stand what he had created...but neither could he kill what had not asked to be...he'd left her..out in the desert to die...but..her will had not allowed for it..she walked for days before coming upon a village...a village with strange, dark skinned people with red eyes. She posed no threat to them..so they treated her as any would a traveller...and in time as one of their own.
"So..that..." She sighed and turned narrow eyes to the gathered soldiers.
"I'll not ask again! Let me through!"
