A Heart's Shadow

Chapter 5

New Threats

"How are our plans, Akio?" Lust asked the man.

He looked at her lazily. Tired, broken. He still ahdn't stopped working since the last meeting. "Failure."

"What do you mean?"

"There is no way. I cannot replace Greed, Sloth, or Wrath. I need humans for this experiment. I also need more red stones." He sighed.

"We've given you the humans necassary to create the three. What use would more be?"

"I need humans to sacrifice to bring back a Hmoncolus, I do not wish to sacrifice my body for your cause." He sounded of a coward. Maybe he was. He believed himself to be intelligent to reason with a false human creature.

"Fine. I'll see what I can do. I'll also get you more stones. Do whatever you wish with them, but you must complete the new sins. Wrath may be alive, but he has betrayed us, Pride was killed by an officer who figured out his identity, and Greed by the Elric boy. We need the seven sins complete to fulfill this."

"Alright. Is that all?" He spun around in his desk chair.

"No. What of the Chimeras we requested?"

"They're done. I sealed them up in another room. Their constant complaints and screaming got to me. But they're just as you asked. What of them?"

"I need them. I'll be taking them back with me. Envy and Gluttony have a truck up front."

"Alright."

"There is one more thing I'd like to have done." he turned to look at her.

A/N: Short, but atleast this story isn't dead, right? I have new stories coming out. I hope you take a chance to enjoy them. R&R
