Kiomi & Éclair Destroy the World (A FMA Fan-Fic) [With AnimeNerd_36]

The Not-So-Great Escape

The air was musky and filled with the loud clanking of the jail cell occupants. Kiomi was used to this, as this was a routine she tended to go through when ever she was accused of corrupting ishval with her alchemy. She sighed solemnly as she leaned up against the brick walls that separated her cell from the other two that were beside her own. The grunts of the other jail occupants suddenly seemed to grow silent for a strange reason. Kiomi turned her head in curiosity at the sudden silence that was then drawn up to the voice of...a young girl? She seemed to be arguing and muttering as she came within in hearing distance. And man she wasn't going to let whoever was taking her down here hear the end of it. Kiomi had never heard such vulgar ranting come from the sound of a young girl. The curiosity had grown on Kiomi to the point she stood up and slowly walked over to the barred doors, trying to peek down the rooms corridor. She was just barely tall enough to see the approaching pair. A brunette haired girl being ushered down the hall, rather unwillingly. She seemed to be missing an arm from what Kiomi could tell. And there was something about her eyes too. They were more vibrant than most, and they were stung with a rather tone of angst, one that most don't have within their eyes. The girl had to be roughly around the same age, Kiomi noticed, however that girl seemed as if she was quite a bit less mature. Perhaps she was a criminal. However she dressed as if she was at some fancy upper class dinner party that turned into a rogue fight. With the way that girl was acting, Kiomi could have only guessed as much from the girl. The hair that girl had was an utter mess, it seemed as if was the mane of a wild lion.

Kiomi backed away from the cell door slowly, glancing at them as they got closer. The brunette haired girl was huffing as if in defeat almost ? The man, Kiomi recognized as the one and only Mustang had one of the cockiest smiles on as he continued to usher the wild armless girl to the cell. He paused, holding the wild girl's only arm behind her back as they stood in front of the cell Kiomi was standing in.

She got a good look at the wild girl now. The girl's bangs flopped wildy in front of her face, untamed at the least. Her upper class dress was torn in several places, the sleeves falling off, and the lace borders torn. She wore a corset, however it looked rather loose on the girl, perhaps she loosened it already. Not to mention her pants. The dress was rather short in the front, longer in the back, so the girl wore some sort of pants below her dress. They were torn too, exposing a shiny metal gleam from the right leg. Meanwhile the girl wore boots. Combat boots. Combat boots and an upper class dress didn't fit what Kiomi knew about social customs, so she was rather puzzled, yet intrigued by the girl.

But it was mainly the purple eyes. They intimidated Kiomi slightly just by all the angst that they held within them. Someone or something had done something to this girl in the past, and she wasn't going to ever let it go. It defined her now.

"Hey, looks like you're gonna be partners in crime." He commented gruffly as he opened the door making Kiomi back up further. He shoved the brunette girl in through the door without hesitation. Her messy brunette hair now fell to the backs of her knees. It was longer than Kiomi thought she saw before.

"Any softer would've been nice. You're lucky I don't have any water on me or you would've got it." she muttered under her breath as he slammed the door closed, locking it swiftly.

"You're the one who got yourself dearmed and into this mess. Now just wait here in your time-out and I'm sure someone will be here to pick you up in the morning, Halfmetal."

The armless girl sighed as the other occupants of the jail returned to their chatter.

"He thinks he's so clever with his 'de-arming' puns. I don't have till morning, that's too much wasted time."

Kiomi narrowed her eyes at the girl cautiously, "So what are you in here for?" she questioned of the girl, "And I'm guessing you're name is...Halfmetal..?"
