(roserie pic)

A little boy tugged onto roserie's shirt " onee-chan. Onee-chan. "

Roserie: hai?

" come with me!! Let's play tag with spies!! "

Roserie: *smiles * okay.

The little boy led her own of town and into the forest " gomene onee-chan. I was... Paid... To do so. "

She patted his head " its ok. You can go. "

Kain: gomene. Had to do that.

Roserie: you are...

Kain: my name is kain. I paid the kid. You can go now.

The kid runs away.

Kain: ehto... We have decided to tell you everything. If you decide not to help us after this. They will kill you. I'm not very good in killing... So...

Roserie: they?

Breda: yo.

Alexis: and me.

Roserie: -_- of all people...

Alexis: my anue (ah-nu-eh/ elder sis) told me everything. So...*blush * she said its better I hang around for a while to ensure your safety.

Roserie: she's kind.

Alexis: no no. Its the manners of the Armstrong to do it. But I've also heard that lady yourself isn't any simple person.

Roserie: arigato.

Breda: I wouldn't take that arigato. She's decisive woman who could kill her dad because he deserves it. Not even guilt

Roserie: hahaha... I really like people I don't need my mask with. I admit. He deserves it. Needn't need me to shed a tear.

Kain: so... Roserie-san... You can kill?

Roserie: I can. I just don't have the skills I need.

Breda: that smile is enough to kill already. Ojou-san.

Alexis: anyways. Let's hurry in.

They enter their hidden base.

Jean: yo. I'm jean.

Falman: you're here. We've met.

Kain: so our leader is colonel mustang.

Roserie: I well know of that. And Riza is like the sub-leader.

Kain: hai. She also agreed its a good idea to tell you about this.

Roserie: so... What's this whole bullshit about?

Jean: have you heard about... Kenja no ishi before.

Roserie: *eyes widens* are you serious?

Falman: pretty much how bullshit this is. Yes.

______________________________________

Roserie: gomene. Have to make you make trips. Major.

Alexis: no no. Its fine.

Roserie: say... What kind of girls do you like?

Alexis: eh... Why ask? Could it be... Roserie... You're really... Interested...

Roserie: yes. In your taste for girls.

Alexis: don't scare me like that roserie.

Roserie: so?

Alexis: probably a strong lady like izumi-san. But you don't know who she is.

Roserie: don't look down on me. I know everything I should. I simply have to dig if I don't know.

Alexis: that's dangerous.

Roserie: I like being knowledgeable. There's no way I cannot obtain the information I need. I've always been getting it like I wanted to.

Alexis: I see.

Roserie: that aside, major do you think kain is cute?

Alexis: hm? You like kain?

Roserie: well... He's got that gentle cute personality. I've never seen someone that gentle and cute in military. Someone with the guts to see death yet still kind. He must be really kind.

Alexis: he is.

Suddenly someone jumps from above and lands in front of two of them " yahoo!!"

Roserie: fuhrer. Aren't you like a kid?

Jura: and what's the major doing here? Escort?

Roserie: I love him. He's my lover.

Jura: Really??~~

She pulls down alexis by the collar and kisses him. He blushes a little in shock. She then lets go and stares back at jura " you think?"

Jura: oh well. Oh well. Its not my business who you go out with. Seriously. How about the deal I made you?

Roserie: major would you mind?

Alexis: alright than.

He leaves them alone for a while.

Jura: major... Huh

Roserie: I respect the people I love. Plus its in front of the fuhrer. I didn't want people to know this affair. I just hope you didn't go around having a big mouth.

Jura: don't say that. I was just being kind. You know matchmaking.

Roserie: you are a bastard after all.

Jura: my heart hurts. Is that how you treat your fuhrer?

Roserie: its not confirmed... I'll marry him. Anyways, what is it you want?

Jura: I've talked to your friends. They all think you're nice. Except that best friend of yours. She's cold and mean. But that's what I like about her. You make interesting friends roserie.

Roserie: arigato.

Jura: you know... Recently monica and I have been going out. She's really a nice and awesome woman.

Roserie: monica may be my best friend, but what you're doing is going to have no effect.

Jura: I told her everything.

Roserie: what do you mean everything?

Jura: how would I know? You know. Isn't it?

Roserie: I hate people like you.

Jura: me too. What if you have a bugging device on you?

Roserie: don't play around with Monica. Let her go.

Jura: don't say that. We both know what kind of person she is. Here.

He passes him a red card invitation " I really like her. We're getting married next week. "

Roserie: threatening me huh?

Jura: maybe. But I really like her. She can even kill your mother for me. What kind of best friend is that? THE BEST.

Roserie clenches her fist " so you came... Just to insult me?"

Jura: aren't you worried about your mother at all?

Roserie: just what do you want?

Jura: simple. Kill off winryl.

Roserie: what....?

jojo: eliza~~

He sits onto the chair at the dining table. Two legs on the table crossed and a tilt chair backwards a little " have you been missing me?"

eliza: missing you? Obviously no. No one would want to miss a person like you

jojo: that's mean eliza. I have been hanging around this town your nee-chan has been protecting for already 3 weeks. I can almost become a citizen already. Can you really protect this town like kia did?

eliza: you can doubt me if you want. I won't be bothered.

jojo: so boring... where's the cute eliza who has childish tempers? Want things to go her way that eliza. That bossy eliza.

eliza: don't talk as if you understand me.

jojo: I have been spying and looking at you since... hmm... a very long time.

eliza: don't make it sound like you're a stalker .

jojo: I am.

eliza: stalkers are obsessed with the person they stalk. You don't. You just want to break me down.

jojo: sigh... I don't like it when you're so serious. You should be more childish. Like when nee-chan is around.

eliza: don't call her that. She is not your nee-chan. She is mine. What do you want?

jojo: not much. Just...

He squats onto the chair " eliza... ask for more troops. I don't care what reason you use. Just get more."

eliza: why?

He gets off the chair, he leans in close " why do you care?"

eliza: aren't you afraid I call yuki?

jojo: scared? No, she is just troublesome.

He takes a stray hair and puts it behind her ear " army. Troops. 10,000. "

eliza: you want this place to be swarmed with soldiers?

jojo: you can say that.

eliza: if I don't do it?

jojo: I am not a person with patience eliza.

He walked to the dining table and took the fruit knife and stabbed to the table " I like to kill. I said before. Isn't it? "

eliza: tsk.

riza: I've got the information we need. It took quite some time.

zihein: can see that. It took your men a week.

riza: this was supposed to completed in 2 weeks. Its already very fast.

frin: don't be picky zihein.

zihein: sorry... I just got bored.

marcus: I cross referenced it. Bingo. Only one cult exists that is between two worlds. Kami (god) ristoff.

benkira: what an odd name. What does that cult do?

nikojin: ehto... according to the profile, kami ristoff is a kami with a red eye on the top of his head. He has the power to do anything.

benkira: isn't that the power of most of the kamis?

zihein: red eye. Kenja no ishi? What's with the red eye?

nikojin: ehto... some godly powers. It can grant any wish.

frin: that kind of fits the bill.

marcus: how about the profile of the other world's ?

riza: kami ristoff. A red eye at the back of the head. The eye can see through everything.

zihein: what arrogance nah. See through everything.

frin: so what do the people worship him for?

riza: same. He can do everything.

marcus: wait. To create two kamis of the same name in both worlds. This would have to mean he has free access of the gate in and out . When was this kami founded?

nikojin: ehto... 1800 meaning... before kia was made a gatekeeper.

riza: same. So who is the previous gatekeeper?

" erm...." frin draws a circle on the table and presses on it. A book appears. Frin flips the book... " I didn't know that."

benkira: know what? And where you get that?

frin: I made a copy of all the records in liasli's library and stored it. This book records all the gatekeepers passed down to each gatekeeper. And there's a period no one was in charge of the gate.

zihein: so the door can be opened in that period of time?

marcus: that's not possible. Only gatekeepers can open or close the gate.

riza: I thought the next gatekeeper was always decided in advance. Just like roy is.

frin: teh wait. The rest of the gatekeepers. Were they all decided in advance? Was kia the special one? If yes... someone has planned this since a long time ago.

benkira: that's not the problem. We can be sure there is someone who planned this long beforehand no matter if kia's case is unique or not.

frin: agree. But... if what riza speculates is true... the gate... did the gate make some deal that will bring us trouble?

marcus: well, looks like we have to go back to the gate and ask the gate. That's one question. The 2nd question, who has access through the gate since last time? Third, does he still have free access now?

benkira: time to go back.

nikojin: neh neh can we go visit the kids?

benkira pats her head " um. If we only can have our own"

riza: eh...

nikojin smiles " its hardly possible because we're of different kind of chimeras."

riza: gomene... I didn't mean to.

nikojin: its ok.
