An Eye For An Eye Is A Gift For A Gift

Darkamaru had searched for a while and finally found his new friend, Xan. He was bringing an amulet with him since he wanted to not only tell Xan his plans but get him to help him.Now he only had to wait...

Darkamaru smiled. "Just visiting Xan. He's a friend of mine. What, everything I do has to involve you?" Darkamaru noticed the papers Reita had. "I can give these to him if you want. It'll save you some work since IU'm going to be here anyways."

"Relax, I'm not breaking and entering. Xan should be here soon. He'll explain that he knows me." Darkamaru smirked. "And when he gets here, you'll have to be excused since it's rude to eavesdrop.

Darkamaru simply smiled as his shadow rose to deflect the bullets into the ground. "You realize that you can't rightfully attack me here? This is Xan's office and if you kill me here, he will assume that as a child, it was in cold blood rather than self defense. In fact, I'm unarmed."

"I can't run, true. But claiming I'm Pride will make you seem more insane than anyone on earth since there are no actual photos. Anyone can say things, but a dead man can't speak. I'm your only evidence and I only work when I'm alive. Not to mention, I'm on the side of the military. Remember? I'm against their enemy. You."

When the sword came close enough, Darkamaru held his left arm up. The sword was moving quickly already so the impact would have at least chipped or cracked the blade and definitely caused it to rebound off of his arm. Darkamaru smiled. "Okay then FATHER, I won't fight you anymore. As I said, I'm unarmed. My bazooka isn't even loaded. But since you want to play dirty, I believe I can hide until Xan arrives." Darkamaru disappeared into the shadows.

Major General Xan was about to walk into his office, when he had heard gunshots. Then he heard two voices. Why were people fighting in his office?! He listened at the door to up to the point when a familiar voice said that he would hide until Xan arrived. At that point Xan transmuted his right arm into a sword and stepped in. "Alright, that's enough!" Then he looked around and said "Major Reita, who were you shooting at just now?!"

Shadows swirled on the floor and Darkamaru reformed and smiled. "Hello Xan. Remember me? You were at my shop that time and I wanted to pay you back by telling you what you asked and giving you something in return. But while I waited, Reita attacked me, claiming that he would kill me and then legally escape from the consequences. As his superior, I assume you would have some power over him so can you please solve this disagreement. Also, just another thing about the situation you oughta know. I told him not to attack me while in your office because you wouldn't have wanted someone killed here, and he responded by attempted to blind me."

Xan listened to the man whom he recognized as the one who gave him his automail...He looked at Major Reita and said,"Reita, stand down and explain yourself. Why did you attack this man? Speak quickly, for I have little patience with attempted murder in my office as you might understand." Xan clapped his hands and touched the ground he was standing on, transmuting it into a throne type chair, and sat on the chair. He had to hear this one.

Darkamaru looked at Xan. He was glad he was taking matter's into his hands but he was a bit scared that Xan would trust Reita instead of him...

Xan awaited the answers to his questions from Reita. Then, he changed his mind before Reita had even begun to speak. "On second thought, I don't even want to know. Just leave my office." Xan transmuted his automail back into a normal arm as he waited for Reita to leave. Attacking a child in the middle of the office of a superior? Did it matter what the purpose was, unless the child had come to kill Xan, which he obviously wasn't here to do.

Darkamaru smiled. "I believe both occasions, it was YOU who attacked ME. Also, I have my share of dirt on you. Don't think I'm stupid. I also 'Took notes'. Father." Darkamaru smiled, knowing that even if he was a homunculus, Father was even more dangerous to the state. He would be left unscathed nearly.

Major General Xan had listened to the boy and the man argue for some time, but when Reita grabbed the boy, (whose name was Darkamaru if Xan had heard it right while he was still listening at the wall) Xan's patience began to wear thin. "Major Reita, I order you to let go of that boy!"

Darkamaru looked at Reita. The crying could fool most people but Darkamaru worked with performers for most of his life. If acting lessons taught him anything, it was that tragedy can bring tears and to think of bad memories in order to cry. Reita was obviously doing so. " On the contrary, Reita. I fought YOU those times and no one else. Don't think of Xan as stupid enough to fall for that. I haven't known him too long, but if he is as high rank as he is, he's obviously not an idiot."

Xan looked on in slight amazement at the scene developing before him. Deciding that he was going to need a little bit more calm, he clapped his hands, and put them on the throne. Instantly, the all of the doors and windows became sealed tight, with a layer of stone over them. "All right Reita, now you can let go of the boy and calm down, no one is going anywhere until I tranmute this office back to normal, and that isn't happening until I get some answers." Xan sat back down on his throne-chair, and waited for a response.
