*ring ring...*

frin: hai?

" someone is at the door requesting to see kia. He doesn't seem like people from around here. He has no reason.But he says it is important" the soldier on the other side says.

frin: I am coming.

He travels down to the entrance of the mansion. His expression changed almost immediately seeing who he is.

frin: you...

" you know who to call."

frin: yuki?

" you like to test my patience. Call kia."

frin: why should I? traitor.

" aren't you protective?"

frin: she's my boss. My precious boss.

" oh? You like her?"

frin:she is the nee-chan of my lover. Now state your offers traitor.

" so sure I came here to offer something?"

frin: you are a proud asshole. *smiles cynically*

" I made a pact with kia."

frin: with what to prove?

" ask her."

frin: tsk.

Frin lets him in knowing kia would him in anyway.

kia: zihein?

ed: you bastard. What are you doing here?

zihein: how hostile.

ed stands in front of kia " what do you want?"

roy walks in "are you the spy we think you are. Are you on our side?"

zihein: kia helped you arrive there?

roy: the list. A clue. No enemy would do that on purpose unless he is very arrogant. That room you kept riza is in important. That's why she is kept inside there. We probably were predicted to lose. But you believed we would win. With heavy damages that is. Unless I am wrong.

zihein: speculations. Go on... I don't believe roy mustang stop only there.

roy: true.Puppeteer sent after ed's family. Its too simple to go so far just to drive him into desperation to gain back alchemy by killing winryl. Hostaging winryl would probably be enough. But no, he was dragged into this world, driven by hunger for revenge at that time.

zihein: I admit, that was my plan.

ed runs and grabs onto to zihein's collar "WHY?" ed punches zihein on the face.

zihein: you would be in danger if I didn't force you somehow. You would be much safer with kia too. Hostaging winryl would mean... you are in his hands. There's nothing much to work from. You hold another soul dragged from the Truth. You are on the few tops. You are important.

ed: YOU COULD HAVE TOLD ME EVERYTHING !!!

zihein: edward elric. Your hesitations... make you unpredictable and predictable at the same time. What if you didn't listened to me and became determined in not getting back your alchemy? You wouldn't listen at all than even how I tried later on.

al: what... that's why... that's why you put nii-san through that. ARE YOU EVEN HUMAN?

zihein turned his attention to al "human? ah. I am." he makes ed release his grip on his collar and walked towards kia. He cup her cheek " a human that also knows love. Just a very shrewd human."

Kia slaps his hand away " mind you. I am colonel. If you enter my mansion, at most you are my strategist."

He push her head into his chest " arigato, boss. I am still your soldier."

Ed clenches his fist " don't touch her !!!"

zihein: aren't you anxious?

kia: let go. I am currently... holding my thirst... to kill you...

zihien: kia *giggles* did I become too interesting?

kia stares at him as he lets go " I guess you did. Hehe."

roy: so answer my question. What are you?

Riza pointed her gun at his temple " it may be normal bullets. But you should know, they kill."

zihein: traditional huh? Cool. Trigger than.

riza: what? *pulls down lock*

kia: this monster stored his brain and heart somewhere else. Even if you shoot his head or chest where his hear supposedly is. He won't die.*smiles*shall I teach you how to kill him?

zihein: you're mean.

kia: spoil his transmutation circle than kill him the normal way. I promise you it works. His circle... *points at middle of his chest* there front and on his back. Make sure to destroy both ok.

zihein: I can't believe it... you actually still remember... Those bed times...

kia: urusei.

roy: So what is your answer?

Riza: I will shoot. The truth.

Zihein: kia. I'll make a deal with you. Marry me. I'll tell you everything I know.

Ed: you...

Kia: what do you know?

Ed/ al: kia!!!!

Al: you can't consider his options!!!

Ed: he's not trustable!!!

Kia: I'm not trustable. Why did you believe me? I kill people.

Ed: you have your reasons.... He....

Kia: he killed winryl.

Ed: that's...  That's... That's... Not it!!!!

Zihein: I did it for kia.

Ed: what warped logic is that?!!!

Zihein: you remember my promise to you?

Kia:.....  Promise.... No... You didn't think I meant it. Did you?

He walked towards kia,cupped her back head and kissed her forehead " I did. Baka-chan. "

Kia: you're crazy...

Zihein: you managed to revive yuki and eliza. Why not me?

May: could it be... Someone revived Zihein too?

Kia: I guess so. He's supposed to be long dead.

Ed: are you planning to use kenja no ishi? *clenches fist * or have you already....?

Zihein: I didn't.

Kia: what do you mean you didn't?!!!  ANSWER!!!  I Can't understand a thing... You're doing. ANSWER!!!

Riza pushes the gun hole to where the circle on zihein's back is " talk. "

Zihein: I saw your nii-san. But at the same time I didn't want world chaos so I stayed close.

Kia: since when did you care....world chaos...

Zihein: since you influenced me. Peace has to be fought .

Roy: why did you come back for?

Zihein: someone was taking your heart away from me.*looks to ed* who?

Kia: you think too much.

Zihein: 2 more days. That seal.

Kia: its none of your business!!!

Zihein: kia!!!
