53: personal judgment


Jura: how's the little present?

Roserie: we shouldn't be meeting like this.

Jura: don't worry. I called you here for official business.

Roserie: what official business?

Jura: I want certain documents to be pulled out from the secret library.

Roserie: and I bet you don't even need them.

Jura: don't say that. I want these names to be pulled out.

He took out a list which had 95 names on it. Roserie looks down the list and saw a few names that seemed familiar. No. It wasn't just familiar. It was exactly the names breda asked to pull out.

Roserie: all?

Jura: hai. Arigato.

Roserie: that's all?

Jura: of course not. You remember my little mission to you right?

Roserie: if I refuse?

Jura: I told you I have monica.

Roserie: I'll pretend she doesn't exist.

Jura: I thought you might say that. How about your mum? Monica is taking care of her right now. Unlike you, you know monica can kill people easily right?

Roserie: has monica been that brainwashed?

Jura: she loves me.

Roserie: oh.

Jura: remember. I just want her dead. It doesn't have to be your hands.

Roserie: I'm leaving.

Roserie: hey kain.

Kain: roserie. What brings you here?

Roserie: to take back the documents. Jura is looking for them.

Kain: eh!!! Have you told breda and the others?

Roserie: hai.

Kain: be careful than.

Roserie: hai. Neh kain...

Kain: hai? What's wrong?

Roserie: what kind of a person you think I am?

Kain: hmm... Really smart. Like colonel and riza.

Roserie: that's all?

Kain: you have that ruthless in you. I guess you can say you will be a big help.

Roserie: how about how you feel to me?

Kain: eh...?

Roserie: will you think I'm a bad person if I kill?

Kain: I kill people too... In war... Its... *clench fist* taken some time for me to let go but I'll still take the shot if I need to.

Roserie: I see.

Kain: killing is not wrong. To protect yourself. Probably...

Roserie: arigato... Kain... * kisses cheek* I like you.

Kain: *blush * roserie...

She stands up " I'll be leaving. "

Kia pov:

Yellow long hair... A spanner... Metal materials on the table. Machinery... The girl turns around and... Blackness and nothing else but red eyes stare at me. Screams, cries. Shouting. Kill her. Kill her. Kill her. Kill her!!!! She needs to be killed!!! She doesn't deserve life!!!

I jerk and woke up. Sweat drops down my forehead. I couldn't sleep. Yellow hair... Machinery... There's only one person I can think of. Winryl. Riza use guns so not her.

I walk down the corrider and out of the house. I sat by front door step with the door open. Kill winryl? That's the message?

Ed: kia? Why are you awake?

Kia: why are you?

Ed: water.

Kia:....you saw it too right?

Ed: saw what?

Kia: the dream. Nightmare. Message.

Ed: no.

Kia: so you're denying it...

Ed: no. I really didn't see anything!!!

Kia: what...

He sat down beside me and held both my shoulders " what did you see?"

Kia:.... That's weird. I thought you would see it. Its just like last time I guess.

Ed: last time what? What did you see?

Kia: thousands of voices... Asking me to kill winryl.

His eyes widens " what....?"

Kia: its happened before. Only I got that dream. The other agent didn't. To kill someone.

Ed: did you...?

Kia: um. He was a person who played with the rules of alchemy like fire with his hands. He did many horrible things with alchemy.

Ed: I see... Actually... What happens if you don't follow?

Kia:don't know.

He held onto my hands " can you... Not kill winryl? "

Kia: ed...

Ed: please.

Kia: ok...

He hugs me " arigato. I promise to carry the consequences with you. "

This time Lee walks pass " easy for you to say. You're not the one receiving the instruction. "

Ed: I know... Its selfish.

I put my finger to his lips " I won't do it. "

Ed: arigato.

Kia: winryl...

Winryl: kia? Is there something you need?

Kia: um... Never mind.

Winryl: you love ed. Don't you?

Kia: you don't want the answer to that question.

Winryl: I thought so.*held kia's hands* I expected so... Just... Let the kids still be able to see their dad. Ok?

Kia: don't you want to try?

Winryl: I'm supposed to be dead. I don't want ed to suffer from choosing...

Kia: winryl... Is the kids enough?

Winryl: um....

Ed walks out with tears flowing " winryl... Why are you so silly? " he hugs her " I wouldn't just... Leave you like that. "

Kia's heart broke. Tears well up inside her. She felt two conflicting feelings. Happiness for these two and... Sadness that her beloved was going to slip away.

Kia smiled trying to cover the sadness part " good for you too..."

Ed pov:

Yellow hair... And a face. This face... Roserie!!!

I woke up and run to kia's room " kia!!! "

That's when I saw her snuggling in Lee's arms. She open her eyes dazily " ed?"

My heart broke. But I held it back. I had no right... I did choose winryl over her that day. But this just shows... I still love kia.

Kia: what's the matter.

She sits up and got off the bed " let's go out. "

Lee: I'll be waiting.

Kia: urusei.

We walked down to the dining room and sat down.

Kia: so?

Ed: are you with lee?

Kia: oh that. No. I'm... Just having a fever and he's taking care of me. He wouldn't let go of me. I guess... Its not bad to have him stick to me and I got a little selfish by making him stay.

Ed: oh.

Kia: its.... Complicated. What do you need? The dream?

Ed: hai. You saw it too? This time.

Kia: roserie.

Ed: maybe... She's a spy or something.

Kia: she may be smart and sly. But... I don't think that's enough for a reason to kill her.

Ed: that's true...

Kia: but again, I've had dreams that make me kill people who haven't made heinous crimes.

Ed: and you killed them.

Kia: didn't find a reason not to... People who are better off dead should die.

Ed: I see. So... Roserie is that kind of person.

Kia: can only assume so. All the people the dreams have me killed are usually those. But I'll investigate than make a judgement.

Ed: arigato.

Kia: its not for you. I... Don't want to kill without reason either.

She stands up to leave. I stand up too and grabbed her hand " kia. " she looks to me " hai?"

Ed: gomen...

Kia: for?

Ed: not making up my mind.

Kia:..... I don't know how long I can wait... Lee... Lee... Really loves me and lets me be selfish.

Kia: hai. Three days. You sure have a deep past.

Roserie: arigato. You can actually ask me you know.

Kia: its for my own form of judgment.

Roserie: that's why you pulled down to one week? Just for judgement of me? What do you doubt?

Kia: not really. I sent lee to get my *eyes sparkles * cute team. Ahem. Anyways, don't tell them. I'll get scolded. Especially nii-san.
