"Where do you keep your cold medicine?"

Mat-Mat asked back with a blanket.

"How do you find anything inside this place?"

Allen said, lying on his back staring up at the ceiling.

"Cold medicine is in the bathroom cabinets labeled 'COLD MEDICINE NOT POISON'."

Kari said sneezing more as she crawled under the blanket and clapping her hands onto the floor making a bucket,just in case.

"Ok. I'll be back in a minute."

Mat-Mat said as she looked for the bathroom.

"You need a fire."

Allen said as he stared at the ceiling, dazed and confused.

"Than make one lazy bum."

Kari said in between another sneezing fit rolling her now reddening eyes as her breathing got worse,well worse than usual,with her poor abused heart working over time from being sick.

Allen ignored her as he walked outside, needing some fresh air. He just went outside in the rain and stared up at the sky.

"I'm back....where's Allen?"

Mat-Mat came back finally with the cold medicine for Kari.

"Went outside."

Kari replied drinking the appropriate amount of cold medicine and gagging afterwords from it

"Oh, ok. He's been acting really weird for some reason."

Mat-Mat nodded as she put the cold medicine aside and went to get Allen. When she opened the door, Allen was sitting on the ground, singing to himself.

"I never.....said I'd lie in wait forever.....if I died we'd be together, I can't always just forget her....but she could try....."

"Allen....you feeling ok?" Mat-Mat asked worried.

((Okay,this is a recap for DNA since he's bound to come on at 5am when I'm actually sleeping so you see Kari walked out of L's meeting thingy,with everybody in the room betting and gossiping about the two fighting later XD,and she and Allen got into they're usual 'I'm gonna kill you' fights and kicked each other's butts,Kari kicking Allen's more though XD,and then she got sick so now she's on the couch puking up blood in a bucket -.-))

(L's not leaveing. L Owns the Millitary. he can't leave.)

((.......Great.........XD This is where Kari's stubbornness kicks in))

Kari groaned getting up and swaying side to side some still feeling sick but remembering that she still had work at HQ to do that had a deadline so pulled a coat over her sick body and climbed out the window,Allen and Mat-Mat wouldn't let her go at all if they knew she was leaving,and started running to HQ mumbling rolling her eyes

"Why am I getting the feeling that I'm gonna have to move again?"

"Because of the big comotion that happened HQ."

Allen said running with her. "You can never leave us. We're not going to let you."

"We just want to make sure you're alright is what he's saying. Go to HQ and get what ever you need to get done finished."

Mat-Mat said running besides both of them.

"That was unexpected..anyway. I am Now offically Issueing an All out attack on the Homunculi." L said

ooc| ...WTF? I'm lost now @.@

(Exactlly Ok now just follow along with me untill kari comes back to HQ.)

ooc| Alrighty, gotcha!

BiC| "An all-out attack...that sounds like fun," Ash murmured, rubbing her chin as she leaned against the stage on her elbow. The other soldiers stared up at L, a few of them with disapproving looks, while the others kept their expressions unreadable.

"I thought they were immortal," a young man questioned with a slow nod, arms at his sides in an obedient manner. Ash, after hearing that supposed 'fact', started laughing uncontrollably, earning several glares and stares from the soldiers around her.

"Not if you shoot them in the right places." L said with a small Smirk. "I won't kid you. Should you decide to join my attack, Most of you will die." L said

Some of the soldiers just shrugged. "We expected that when we joined," one of them answered grudgingly with a shrug of his thick shoulders, dressed, of course, in full uniform, a Major.

Ash had calmed down, controlling her laughter at the insane concept of an 'immortal homunculus'. She took a deep breath, then hopped onto the stage, sitting on the edge at L's feet, staring at the other soldiers.

"Touche." L said then he started to pace. "but...If your an Alchemist, you should go home." He said

"Why?" another one demanded. It was another young man, not dressed in uniform like the others, but wore the silver pocketwatch around his neck.

Ash, being an alchemist and Homunculus herself, answered in a calm tone, like a mother speaking to a child, "Alchemists aren't safe there."

"And because you'll get your a$$ handed to you on a Sliver Platter." L added

Kari managed to get away from the annoying couple and headed off to the nurse's office grumbling about how she wasn't gonna be able to ditch them for long,sides it was time for her chemo anyway so she was laying down in a military hospital bed hooked up to the chemo bag listening to the meeting and chuckling at L's blunt statement mumbling

"Right you are L-kun,the alchemists won't last 5 minutes."

"Of coruse it's entirelly your chooce." he said.

"Shortness of breath,coughing up blood,chronic coughing or change in regular coughing pattern,wheezing,chest pain or pain in the abdomen,weight loss,fatigue,loss of appetite,hoarse voice,clubbing of the nails....that's uncommon though....,and difficulty swallowing."

Kari said to herself remembering the main symptoms of her illness,which all but the nail thing was happening to her and she groaned frowning,she was never gonna be allowed to go kick some homunculus butt at the rate her lungs were dieing.

Some of the soldiers appeared hesitant, eying L with weary eyes as they mumbled amongst themselves in debate; they still didn't believe him entirely. The whole thing sounded crazy.

Ash glanced at Kari, concern in her purple eyes. "Most likely you'll be staying; lungs are difficult to heal, especially when cancer is incurable," she told the cat-girl with a raised brow.

"True. We can't have you sicker than you already are, Kari."

Mat-Mat said as she started fidgeting around, pretending to play piano and such.

"Yeah......But I have a mess to clean up myself.Homuculi are made from human transmutations and Philosopher stones after all.They've more than likely found nee-sama.It has been over 10 years after all."

Kari said bluntly with her hands in her pockets,she had told L and Ash about her failed transmutation attempt back on they're first mission so she had a feeling nobody else would remember.

"I know. However, you don't want to overdo yourself. Anyone can bandage injuries, but no one can heal the dead."

Mat-Mat said worried.

"Yes. If any Soilder still wants to fight, Knowing Full well the costs it may cause, so Long as he dose not have an Alement such as This one, I will allow this." L said

The soldiers continued speaking amongst themselves until, finally about a quarter of the soldiers that were debating stepped forward, clearly willing to fight.

Ash blinked, then sighed, scratching the back of her head.

"Hmm...Ash is this enough?" L whispered to Ash

"Sometimes L,quality is better than quantity."

Kari said bemused and she sighed and scratched her left ear,currently tied to the microphone pole by the nurse by a leash which was the main caus of the snickering in the back round,with her foot and added bluntly

"What I wanna know is if any of them actually have the guts to take homunculus lives IF and WHEN they get the chance.A couple of them look like new recruits."

Though Mustang's group and a couple of the older alchemists and the techie's were chuckling in the back round.Why?Because Kari was already L's 'pet cat' and now she was the Fuher's 'cat' and she was actually tied to his microphone and scratching her ears like an animal which proved to be hilarious.

"To bad you won't be able to see." L said

"Hm? You're not letting her go?" Ash looked up at L, raising a brow with her arms folded. "And to answer your earlier question...I'd rather they not go at all; they'd just wind up dying. But, then again...you do have a Homunculus on your side..." she murmured low enough for only him and Kari to hear but not the others, knowing the trouble that would cause. She rubbed her chin in thought.

"L,I HAVE TO GO! I have made my sister into a monster and I have to get rid of her myself."

Kari snarled,low enough for L and Ash to hear and not anybody else,looking like a pissy kitty cat as she kicked him in the shins,her usual 'punishment' for him.It was actually rather hilarious for everybody else to see the sick girl hooked up to a chemo bag and a heart monitor beeping kicking the Fuher in the shins making him complain.

"Hm? You have...maybe I should say 'had', now...a sister, Kari-chan???" Ash inquired, eyes wide. She'd never been told about Kari ever having a sister, nor had she ever of one mentioned. It was normally Naru or Kari's father that were mentioned as members of her family; she hadn't recalled a 'sister'.

"Ash,your really forgetful.......Either that or it was Hotaru I told.....I forget.And yeah,she died in the Ishbal war and me and Nate 'tried' bringing her back.That was about 10 years ago so she's bound to be with the other homunculi.And I gotta be the one to let Helena-nee rest in peace without bringing her back again!"

Kari said/somewhat whined since L wasn't letting her go on the Homunculi hunt.And then a 20 year looking old boy came up to Kari blushing and he asked hesitantly

"Um Kari-senpai?" "Hm?" "Uh.....Would you like to go out on a date sometime?"

Then our favorite half cat girl went anime white with wide eyes and she had a 'are you freakin kidding me' expression and he stood there waiting for an answer as Kari was well kinda star struck with the heart monitor beeping fast like she was in a race car or something,she didn't expect that.

"What the f**k is going on?" L whispered to Ash, confused on how his adress to the millitary got screwed up.

Ash shook her head, trying not to laugh at the soldier that had just asked Kari out, and looked up at L. "I. Don't. Know. So, let's get our a$$es out of here before we get any more interruptions," she whispered back through clenched teeth as she stood up on the stage and stared out at the soldiers.

"Hey! We need to know now...who's going and who's not! And I want a straight answer!" she yelled through her cupped hands. Only a quarter of the soldiers that had been there stood forward, each one young yet looked cocky, while others were still skeptical of L and stood back.

"Ok heres the deal. the Fuhrer is a Homunculious. We need to destroy the homunculi. I become furher as I am next in line. I know where they are. I'm launching an Attack. Stay here or voulnteer." He said

"Um....Sorry gotta refuse....Uh yeah bye."

Kari said looking thoroughly freaked out by being ACTUALLY asked out for once and the guy shrugged before leaving her alone and now she got over the shock and started digging for her Kendama in her backpack and took it out and started 'venting' in a healthier motion than usual,which was usually take it out on a cardboard box.And then she growled to nobody in particular clearly more than a little annoyed

"Does God hate me so much that he gets a ton of guys to ask me out but not the one I want?"

((Poor Poor Kari XD))

The soldiers that were willing to go raised there hands, a sign of their willingness to serve, while the others drew back, skeptical.

Ash...was busy watching Kari with amusement. "You really should mind that temper of yours," she advised with a nod.

ooc| Indeed, poor Kari...and the people that put up with her temper XDDD
Ash: *waiting for her to cool down*

"I'm not breaking light bulbs or walls or shooting people aren't I?"

Kari asked with a twitching smile still tied to the microphone stand by a leash,she had indeed gotten SLIGHTLY better with her temper since she had to concentrate to play with a Kendama and it was wood so she would even vent her built up electricity power into it and it wouldn't blow up or blow up anything else.

"Good. I'll need nothing short of an Army to combat the threat of the Force of Homunculi." L said.

(Please bring in some cannon Charicters to liven things up.

and kari...WTF? I'm cofusededed.)

ooc| XD I'll let Neko-chan explain *nodnod*
And I'll think about the characters...I might bring in Edward...*debates*

BiC| Ash sighed, staring at Kari, then turned her attention back to L, her hands on her hips. "I still don't think they should fight; they're really young," she pressed, gesturing with her head to the few soldiers that stood there out of the many others, ready to listen.

"Hmm...Correct...Anyone under the age of 23 cannot Voulneteer." he said

Ash's eyes narrowed in annoyance, giving L a sideways glance. "L...I think everyone over 23 here has pretty much decided not to join; it could be because they've seen enough or they just plain don't like/believe you," she said with a nod, sighing sharply.

"They want..Proof?" He asked. "Ok Proof." he said. then he Took out a Gun and shoot Ash in the face, whicth she of Coruse recovered from. "Proof of Homunculious. There leader is trying to harness a Pholisphers stone. look at this." he said as he pulled out a Map of Ametris. "All bloody conflicts happen in a place that makes a Giant Transmutation Circle used to create Pholiophers stones" he said

Ash glared at L after she recovered from the gunshot. "Dammit, at least warn me when you're gonna pull a stunt like that!" she scolded, fiddling with the hole in her shirt now from the bullet.

The soldiers stared at Ash, then at L and the map. "W-wait...then what about her?!" one of them demanded, pointing at Ash, "If she's one of them, then why is she still here?!" The soldier glared at Ash while the others looked confused as well, but had their eyes on the map.

"Because she was A human once and Can supress it." he said

The soldier that had asked blinked, raising a brow. "...You can suppress it?" he inquired. Ash, not liking being the center of attention, just nodded brusquely, "Yes, yes." She waved her hand to wave off the question and turned to them all.

"And, yes, I can be trusted. I didn't know I was a Homunculus until recently, but we have other important matters now: these Homunculi are definitely not good, being named after the Seven Deadly Sins, and, from what I've seen, they don't even try to suppress their nature, so they will kill without a thought," Ash advised, speaking calmly and coolly, arms folded over her chest again as she maintained a guarded expression.
