Chapter 1

"No don't!"

I heard him scream in my head. Father was rushing at us, he wanted my stone. He was so fast I couldn't react I felt paralyzed; this is it, the end. Suddenly my body moved out of Fathers path and I was safe; we were safe. I looked around to see what had happened. Had someone saved us?

"We're safe Greed."

My lips moved without my permission and that's when I realized I wasn't in control anymore. It was Ling he'd taken control of our body and saved me. I was quiet for a while as I surveyed our surroundings trying to see if Father was still trying to get us. Finally I spotted him, he was being pummeled to death by Ed. I let out a sigh of relief when Father finally had no more energy left and turned to dust.

"Are you okay Greed?"

Ling's voice had a hint of worry in it; ha the little piss ant actually cares.

"Yeah I'm fine brat." I smirked as I switched places with him, "Thanks for saving me kid."

My smirk widened as I felt his slight embarrassment from my words but the emotion quickly passed him as he smiled.

"It wasn't a big deal homunculus, I was in danger too so I reacted quickly It was more for my sake then for yours."

I laughed at this, "sure kid whatever you say."

Suddenly I sensed people watching us and when I looked around I saw Ed and Lan Fan staring at us.

"What?" I asked irritably I was having fun picking on Ling and they were interrupting.

"Greed are you talking to Ling?"

Ed asked with questioning eyes. I sighed in annoyance,

"Who else would I be talking to brat?"

Quickly, Lan Fan cut off our conversation.

"Young lord are you alright, why are you still letting this Greed monster have control over your body, didn't he tell you I have another-."

Lan Fan was suddenly interrupted by a high pitched cry coming from the center of the crater. It was May Chang she was hunched over the pile of wrecked armor that was Alphonse Elric. Ed quickly ran over to her, soon followed by everyone else. A part of me told myself to stay behind and I was about to listen to it until Ling intervened.

"Hey Greed let me take over for a bit I want to be there for everyone, I-I think this is it for Alphonse."

"No way piss ant I'm running the show here!"

No way was I gonna let Ling take over just to have him cry over his dead friend's body; there's already been enough crying from him today and it was starting to piss me off.

"Greed please."

I could feel his desperation, his need to be with his friends and I realized that need was also radiating off of me as well. When had these humans become important to me?

"Ugh fine but I get control back after this."

I relinquished control of our body over to Ling, and slowly receded into the back of our shared mind. Ling smiled sadly but sweetly.

"Whatever you want Greed."

As Ling walked over to the others who were huddled around the distressed Ed and crying May, I remembered what Ling had said earlier to me while Ed was fighting one on one with Father.

"This is what you really wanted isn't it Greed; friends"

'Maybe it is Ling.' I said this to myself making sure Ling couldn't hear me through the throng of screaming souls between us. I then watched through Ling's eyes as the alchemist went through the gate one last time in order to retrieve his brother. I was surprised when Ed said he could no longer use his alchemy I felt Ling's surprise as well, I guessed everyone felt like that.

Finally when things started to calm down after Alphonse appeared, Ling went over to a still sobbing May Chang.

"Well princess Chang I've won, I still have Greed and that means I'm still immortal."

Ling's face was serious his dark blue eyes were even open as he talked to the little Xinginese girl.

"You don't have to rub it in!"

May sniffled as she attempted to rub the tears out of her eyes. I snorted in our head as Ling offered protection to the girls' clan, but our happy moment was interrupted when Lan Fan spoke up.

"Actually young lord I have another philosopher stone."

I felt Ling freeze, quickly I tried to read his thoughts but I couldn't get through to them, a cloud of souls were separating my own soul from his. He wouldn't try to destroy me would he?

"What are you thinking kid?" I tried shouting to him through the swarming souls, my voice was high strung with anxiety. Ling's face was shadowed as he replied to Lan Fan, ignoring my question.

"I don't need that stone Lan Fan I've got Greed."

Ling smiled brightly up at her. The female ninja look irked as her brows knitted in anger and confusion.

"But young lord why would you want to share a body with that greed creature?"

May looked on worriedly as Ling's features became sad, his frown was deep as he replied;

"I don't see the big deal Lan Fan Greed's my friend and since he has a philosopher stone I don't need that one."

Lan Fan looked shocked and a little betrayed as she tried once more to convince Ling.

"B-but my lord don't you want your own body back?"

Ling looked a little annoyed at his bodyguard.

"Lan Fan just because you have another philosopher stone doesn't mean Greed and I can separate."

"Yes but young lor-"

"But nothing Lan Fan I need Greed!"

Ling tried to emphasize his words by putting his hand on his chest. Lan Fan's face became red with anger as she bawled her hands into fists by her sides.

"No you don't!"

"But I do!"

Ling shouted at the female ninja; I could tell he was getting emotional and a part of me couldn't believe their conversation was really about me. I grew more and more excited and giddy as Ling's voice grew louder and louder. The little piss ant was really greedy just what I love, his avarice was almost as great as mine and it made me want more, more of everything! More money, more women, more sex, more status, more Ling! I started to laugh maniacally, Ling I want more of this would be emperor; no I need more! And if this girl thinks she can separate me from him now. she's dead wrong. I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard that old geezer Hohenheim speak up. He had walked over here with the Elric brothers and everyone else sometime when the screaming match began.

"Um if I may interrupt for a moment."

I felt Ling's body move to face the old man as he spoke, one of his brows was raised in question as he crossed his arms waiting for the bearded man to speak.

"You say you want the prince to gain his body back for himself, and the prince says he wants Greed to stay with him, both ideals can't be achieved just by taking Greed out of the prince but what if we took him out and put him into another body, that way the prince will be free but still be able to see Greed."

Lan Fan looked skeptical, as did almost everyone else but Ling's face was turned upwards in a big smile, I could feel his whole soul being filled with hope and joy. Quickly before Ling's hope overtook me too I switched places with him.

"Oh yeah old man and where would we even get the body from, are ya just gonna grab any old human you see on the side of the road and force me down their throat cause odds are pops I'll probably kill them. Ling could handle it but not all humans are like him, hell I doubt any other human in the world is like this little piss ant; and one last thing old man I won't just take any old bum off the street find me a prince like the brat and maybe we'll talk."

I could feel a swirl of emotions running through Ling, anticipation, happiness, worry, and maybe even a hint of jealousy at my last statement. The old man started to rub his beard.

"Hmm that is a problem; I doubt any human besides Ling could handle you. Well what if-"

"Wait."

Ling blurted, his faced was turned down at the ground, his black fringe shadowing his face. I grinned manically.

"What's the matter prince?" I said tauntingly,

"You don't want to see me in anyone else's body do you?"

My voice lost all playfulness when I said this. I felt Ling stiffen and then nod his head ever so slightly yes. I felt a heat surge through me and all my enthusiasm quickly rushed back into me.

"Well you're in luck kid because I've grown attached to this body and I don't want to change skins any time soon!" My voice softened as I hummed, "No, I don't think I ever want to leave this body, it's all mine."

I smirked as I felt a shiver run up the little piss ants spine.

"Greed."

Ling's voice had a testy tone to it but also a happy one.

"This body is not yours it's mine, the truth is your philosopher stone and soul belong to me since their in my body."

I could just feel the kids' big triumphing smile spread across his face. This boy was indeed amazing, his avarice was so vast I could feel it seeping out of his soul and onto mine it reeked of his Greed and it only served to make me hungrier.

Coming out of my daze I noticed everyone was waiting for the prince to talk. Focusing my attention back to Ling I tried to rain down on his little victory parade.

"Hey kid, stop daydreaming about making out with yourself and talk to the others!"

Ling snapped out of his daze and into reality looking around at all the faces of his friends until he met Hohenheim's, a very light blush was spread across the Xinginese prince's face as he tried to sort out his thoughts.

'Stop saying such crass things you homunculus, like I'd ever dream of kissing you!'

Ling yelled in his head.

"I never said you were kissing me, I said you were making out with yourself."

I could feel my face curling up into a devious grin as Ling tried to push me back deeper into the mass of souls in our shared body. After a short pause Ling continued talking to Hohenheim.

"I don't want Greed to have a different body."

"Young lord!"

Lan Fan gasped! Hohenheim pushed up his glasses until the sun glinted off the lenses.

"You mean to say you refuse to be separated?"

Ling lifted his head, a look of determination plastered on his face.

"No I mean he can't be in someone else's body, if he has a body it has to be mine."

Hohenheim looked deeply into the prince's squinted eyes until he let loose a relieved sigh, his face going a little silly.

"Oh I see what you mean!"

Everyone around the pair looked confused. Hohenheim scratched his blonde locks as a smile spread across his face.

"I see, I see if we do it this way no lives will be in danger, I'd thought maybe you'd be against this method because you might want to keep your individuality but now you're saying you'd actually prefer it this way, who'd have guessed you'd grow so attached that the thought of Greed in another body besides your own would upset you!"

Ling's dark blue eyes widened larger than ever before in shock at Hohenheim's words, while everyone else exclaimed a collective "What!"

"Now let's get going there's no time to waste my boy!"

Suddenly the bearded man grabbed Ling's wrist and began to drag him along towards the exit of the court yard.

"Y-young lord!"

Lan Fan yelled across the desolated landscape. At her words Ling turned around only to meet the female ninja with mischievous inhuman eyes and a smug grin.

"For the last time, the name's Greed."
