Frin: we're getting married.

Kia: oh. Ok.

Frin: can you give a bigger reaction? -_-

Kia: my sister is getting married!!!!!  How's that?

Frin: I hate you.

Eliza: nee-chan!! We want your blessings.

Kia: don't be an idiot. You don't need blessings from me. Its your life. Not mine. You don't need permission from me or something like that. Just do what you want.

Frin: colonel you're really a baka neh.

Kia: huh?!!! I'll kill you ok!!

Lee: how about al and may? Want to do it together?

Winryl: that's a great idea!!!  Rickie and maya can become bridesmaid and bridegroom!!

Ed: oh!!! I give my yes!!! Al.

Al and may both blush red " eh.... "

Rita: oh come on~~ its not like you guys haven't shared a room~~ not like you guys haven't done dirty things ~~

May: we didn't do such thing!!!

Rita / kia: eh?!!!!

May: what's so surprising?!!! *blush *

Kia: eh.... So innocent.

Rita: exactly ~~ kawaii~~

Al: please don't... Put it that way...

Roy: I actually believe them. That's so sad in a way.

Al: well... It would be bad... If something bad happens.

Riza: maa...there's nothing wrong with being responsible.

Roy wraps his arms around her neck " so does that mean I got a restricted order? "

Riza blushes " roy... People... "

Roy giggles and lets go than cups her cheek " how about we get married? "

Riza: eh....

Marcus: you two should do it too. Benkira, nikojin.

Nikojin: maa... We haven't thought till that far.

Benkira: you haven't thought till that far. *carries her in his arms * I'm always ready.

Nikojin: benkira!!! Let me down!!!

Marcus: than say yes nikojin.

Nikojin: well....

Rita: what are you hesitating about? 

Nikojin:......  I.....

He puts her down, takes her cheeks and kisses her lips " why do you always think of stupid things? I don't mind if we don't have children. "

Nikojin starts to cry " but... Its not fair to you!!!!"

Yuki: eh.... So that's the problem?  Say so. I can do something.

Kia: I_I you will?

Yuki: I can be nice too nee-chan!!!

Kia: zihein, promise me you'll be good to her.

Zihein: why? Are you pushing me to marry her?

Kia: I wouldn't allow that now.

Everything stops to look at kia with what she just said. They were stunned.

Ed: I thought you trusted him already.

Kia: not you zihein. I can't... What if you betray yuki like you betrayed me again?

Zihein: you're so petty kia.

Yuki: nee-chan...

Kia: petty? I can't read your mind or understand you. You do things without my knowledge.

Zihein: for our own good.

Kia: I don't trust you.

Yuki: *bangs table* why? Why?!!! Nee-chan?!!! Are you still angry zihein loves me?!!!

Zihein covers yuki's mouth " ssshhh... Its fine. I understand. So... We have three couples getting married neh?"

Kia: okay!!! I'll pay for everything!!!

Riza: wait!!! He was joking!!

Roy: riza you're mean.

Riza: gomen... Its just... Too... Fast...

Roy: no.... Its my fault.

Kia: ugh. Mushy~~ deh? How about you two? Ed. Winryl.

Winryl: huh.... What are you talking about... *looks away... *

Ed: why? Do you want us to get together that much?!!!

Kia: ....  It's a fact. You'll leave this world in the end since winryl has come back. You won't have to have business with here anymore. Lee... *looks to him* will be by my side. So let's end it here.

Ed clenches his fist " you said you wouldn't make me choose "

Kia: I wouldn't. I made it for you. There's no reason for you to hesitate now. Be a happy and blessed father like this is how it's supposed to be.

ed: kia!!!!

__________________________

He press down the handle and opens the door and as he expected, kia was crying in a corner. Except this time not in her bedroom but in her toilet. He felt guilty... He walked to the toilet door and pressed down the handle in hesitation...

The cryings stopped... ed quickly opened the door and see her sitting on the toilet floor looking sad. She glanced one moment and than looked away " why are you here?"

ed: .... I....

He walked closer to her gently touched her eyebag " its swollen... gomen. "

"you have nothing to apologise for... " she stared into his eyes... then stands up and started for the exit of the toilet when he held onto her hand " its my fault. Not being able to choose."

kia: its not... winryl came back. Its unexpected. I just... wasn't meant to have people I initiate my love to. In the end... someone who chases me seems to be the best choice.

ed: don't make it sound like it can be logicalised.

kia: neh... *turns around* to have someone one chase for you... that feeling... its not bad neh.

He hugs her " stop it. I don't want you to leave. "

kia: ed... I am flawed.

ed: too bad you're going to stuck in my heart now.

__________________________

winryl , kia and ed both were walking on the streets shopping for wedding preparations. Kia purposely lagged behind to look at the couple's back. She couldn't help but feel this familiar feeling... left behind. Not deserving. The third party desperately trying to snatch someone else's thing.

ed turns around to look at kia " daijobu?" he stops in his steps and touches to her forehead " you don't have a fever. Are you feeling unwell?"

kia: *smiles* um. I am fine. I will go order the wedding cakes. You guys can split the tasks in buying the other things. Ok?

ed: lets go together instead.

winryl: ed, why don't you go buy us the chocolates at margaritha street? Kia loves those desho.

kia: eh? How come you know?

winryl: you have one whole pile in your room. *looks away* Maya kinda ate all of them... Heh...

kia: *stares at ed* buy me chocolates

ed: are you both abandoning me~~

winryl/ kia : *demon eyes* hehehe...

ed: kowaii. Kowaii. Fine. Take care of her, she gets sick easily.

winryl: ok.

Ed leaves and the both of them were together.

kia: you don't hate me?

winryl: a little dislike. But you are right. I wasn't supposed to come back.

kia: ... so what do you want me to do?

winryl: don't know... can we co-exist?

kia: you can stand me?

winryl: I guess.

kia's eyes widens by her answer than she giggles " you both are really a couple."

winryl: 0_0 ???? huh???

Just than a teenager runs out with a knife " you dead person!!!" Kia's face turned black and punches him in the stomach. She then grabs his wrist as he crouches and twist his wrist. He screams in pain " kia-nee!!!"

kia: what are you doing? Asshole.

" she shouldn't be here!! She is taking away ed!! "

kia: shut up. Her name is winryl. She is my friend. *smiles cynically* fucking try that again and I will break your wrist. Sure you can heal it again but... wouldn't it be painful?

" but!!!"

kia: want me to stab you in the arm and show you what pain is?

" .... hmph." kia lets go and he runs away.

kia: gomen. The people here like me and hate me. Sigh... now you're afraid of me.

winryl: not really. I have seen people like that.

kia: you're kind. *smiles*

winryl: actually... how old are you? How come he calls you nee?

kia: -_-lllllll 25....

winryl: heh.. heh... ^_^''' maa... don't think so much about it.

kia:I hate my body!!!

winryl giggles " you're kind of like a kid. Remind me of ed. "

kia: winryl... I promise to protect you.

winryl: eh?

kia: Because ed loves you. It wasn't that easy for him to let you go.

winryl hugs her " you're kind too."

__________________________

zihein and kia seats on the long bench in the cathedral ...

zihein: so you knew everything?

kia: well eliza doesn't like you at the beginning so she kinda stalked you.

zihein: than why loved me?

kia: love.... till now I still care about you. I am so stubborn I hate that about myself.

zihein: but you love yuki more.

kia: I love both of you. Baka. I liked the feeling of getting adored.

zihein: than what's stopping you?

kia: you gathered an army in secret. Now you came back telling me you are going to help me. So far you are, as a tool I trust you. But whether this tools breaks down or not, its another question.

zihein: its annoying when you're logical.

kia: trust me, its just convenient.

zihein: how can I prove to you than I am on your side? Or rather, does it even matter? I love yuki and that's enough isn't it? I will treat her well. What does it matter if she follows me?

kia: it matters. I don't want her to be in the middle of us.

zihein: than I will just have to make her choose me.

kia: whatever...

She stands up to leave. In her heart she somehow knew why she didn't want to let go. She could have let go zihein with much difficulty, she could have let go of ed with the same kind of hesitation. But she didn't want to let go of yuki. For one reason... she knew somewhere deep in her heart, the reason why she always want to protect the people around her not caring if they would give her back the same kind of rewards. Reaching out just because someone gave her a little warmth. She just wanted something....simple.... not to be alone. Not to be left out.

kia returns home to see lee standing at the front of the house practising sword. She runs to him and hugs him and cries into his chest. His eyes widens shock by the sudden movement. After all he has never seen her cry or seen her take the initiative , he strokes her hair "kia... what's wrong?"

kia: arigato... for sticking with the selfish me...

lee: kia... um. I am always here for you.

kia: I may not deserve you but I'm not going to care. *raises head, gazes into his eye* I'm going to never let you go.

He cups her head and pushed her head into his chest once again " cry little kia. I am always here for you."
