That stupid child!

Hohenheim huffed as he went upstairs. He reached his study and closed the door with a slam. Anger still linger at his heart. This is not uncommon. Ever since the human transmutation, he felt nothing for the child he saved. One look at that thing he felt anger welt in his heart until he couldn't control it anymore and the next thing he knew, that thing was on the ground, at his feet either crying or unconscious.

He cursed remembering the last words of Truth.

"Yes, toll…"

He had no idea what this 'toll' would be. That child was only four months old. If his calculation was right, it should have cost nothing, other than the ingredients that was placed beside the baby.

Though, he was wrong. Absolutely wrong.

He did not count the baby's soul as well. He forgot that once you deconstruct a person, it is as good as dead. The cost to pull the baby's soul back into its original body, was left forgotten.

The price that he had to pay dearly was his emotions or one would say his mind. He could not feel any type of emotion except hatred, anger, revenge and murderous.

Some would even add craziness.

The house on top of the hill was a sad sight, for both Roy Mustang and Riza Hawkeye. The walls have a droopy color, the fence surrounding the house was half missing and was no longer white, plus, there was a broken swing attached to an apple tree beside the house.

If anyting, the house gives out an aura of abandonment and broken promises.

They walked silently towards it. When they reached the door, each officer pulled out their weapon in case of emergency. Mustang wore his gloves and Riza pulled out her sniper. Their backs were against the wall, as Mustang shouted "Hohenheim, we know you're in there! Come out with your hands in the air!"

No reply.

Mustang nodded towards his trusty Lieutenant who in return nodded back. He stepped back and forcefully kicked the door open. They were both surprised with an explosion which sent both of them stumbling backwards.

"Shit!,' Mustang swore "Hohenheim!" He shouted as he lunged into a puff of smoke.

"Colonel-don't!" the Lieutenant shouted following her commanding officer inside. That was a big mistake, it appears that Hohenheim had set a safety measurements on the doorway. Soon, there was another explosion that set the house on fire and sent the officers outside.

"Bastard!" Mustang shouted as he pushed himself up. There was no way that he could have known we were here! With that, he lunged forward into the house. The fire was getting uncontrollable.

He searched for any sign of Hohenheim, he searched the rooms on the left side of the house, and meanwhile, the lieutenant searched the right. He looked in the basement, the bathroom, the closet, the storage and there was nothing. As he was about to leave the house, there he was, Van Hohenheim, at the door.

"Hohenheim!" Mustang shouted, with his gloved hand raised for a snap. He hoped that the Lieutenant could hear him.

The man turned around slowly. Mustang was taken aback at the wide grin on his face.

"Why, hello there," Hohenheim chirped.

Suddenly, the house gave a loud rumbling creaking noise. They both knew that it would not stand for long.

"You are under arrest Hohenheim! For performing human transmutation! You are to follow us to Central to receive your penalty!" Mustang shouted, all the while getting closer to the man.

Hohenheim, tilted his head at this. He feigned a confuse face. Not fearing the deathly glare from the officer. He waited as the officer got close to him, to cuff his hand he supposed and that is when he threw a punch at the officer's face.

Mustang quickly stepped back to avoid the punch, he then swerved his feet across Hoheinheim's in hopes of making him fall. However, his hopes died as a blue light danced cross the elder man's left foot and suddenly, Mustang felt that he was sinking, into the ground! He let out a yelp as he tried to brought his feet up, but the ground felt muddy and soon, it engulfed our colonel up to his neck.

Hohenheim brought his face close to the colonel with a playful smirk. He then said, "Well, that was fun, but, as much as I want to see you get burned to death, I really do must get going, my boss you see, does not like to wait."

The colonel said nothing rather than glare at the lunatic before him. Eventhough he still had a gloved hand on the suface, he didn't dar burn the man's tounge, he was worried that he would miss and set the whole house down, not that it won't. Hohenheim let out a maniac cackle as he went out the door, not bothering to close it and disappeared in the evening glow.

"Colonel! I found a-Colonel! What happened?" Riza Hawkeye rushed to his side with a small child in her arms. Her rifle was swung over her arm.

"I'll explain later; help me get out of this!"

CRACK! The noise interrupted both of them. To their dismay, the house was collapsing!

"Never mind! Get out of here!"Mustang shouted, not wanting any harm to her lieutenant and the child.

"No!" Riza said, she let down the child on the ground. She grabbed one of the colonel's hand that was still on the surface and pulled with all her might. It was a good long time before the Colonel was on his feet again.

At that moment, there was a shudder, a crack, a creek and the ceiling was coming down.

"Get out!" Mustang shouted as he pushed the lieutenant who was holding the boy outside.

Riza and the child made it outside, but the Colonel's leg was trapped under the rubble. He pulled it out and flinched when he realized he had broken his leg and probably sprained his ankle.

Riza put the unconscious child down again as she helped the Colonel on his feet. They watched the house burn as well as the tree beside it. Smoke filled the sky that evening as Mustang leaned a little on the Lieutenant's arm and the Lieutenant carried the child back to the workshop, where a shocked old woman, a worried boy and girl, were waiting on the front porch.
