Toshii's Old House

Tosh hugs back, nodding to Fang. Tosh took a worn out from her book bag and set it on the shelf, beside the element alchemy books.

Fang pulled out his machine gun and readied a blank. He gave the blank with the new transmutation circle to Tosh. "Here. I want you to keep this. I am the only alchemist so far who uses the circle readily. If you ever use it, think of me will ya?"

Tosh takes the bank, looking and observing it closely. She nodded at Fang, smiling.

[what's a blank? :O]

((a bullet that cant penetrate. It just bounces off leaving a large welt. But mine have 4 prongs to hook into things, allowing easy alchemy))
Fang kissed her cheek, smiling the best he could. Which almost looked like a sadistic smirk. "You have any books on...human transmutation? I think we should learn more about it if we want to go after the homunculus."

Tosh blushes as Fang kissed her cheek and shook her head at his question. "Unfortunately."

Damn..all this alchemy and no human transmutation..
"Hungry? I could cook us some...hmm...whatcha hungry for?"

"Steak!" Tosh exclaimed, her eyes bulging with the need for meat. She was practically drooling a cascade.

"Hmm...not so good with domesticated animals...roast scorpion?'
He reached into his bag and pulled out a cage of live scorpions, all agitated by the light.

Tosh blinked a bit and sweatdropped but thought it over and nodded. "Sure! Never had scorpion but okay!"

Fang's face lit up with genuine joy.
He ran down to the kitchen and cut open a scorpion. He covered a frying pan in scorpion blood and venom, and fried the rest of the scorpion on it.
"The venom is gone, but it makes the scorpion zesty. So does the blood."

Tosh ran downstairs behind him and watches as he cooks the scorpion. "Ooooooh~" she said as she watched amazed.

Fang pulled out some shishkabob sticks from his bag and flipped the scorpion bits into the air.
"Grab a plate!"
He threw the sticks into the scorpion bits, and the new scorpion-kabobs flew into a cutting board (a block of wood he had in his bag). "And done."

"Whoa!" Tosh exclaimed. She licked her lips at the scorpions and rushed over to a cabinet. She pulled out a few bottles rushed back over, coating the scorpions with tasty spices. "And done!" she said smiling as she took some and started eating. "MMMM! I never though scorpion could taste so good! You're the best Fang!" Tosh said happily, enjoying her dinner.

[And out!]

((kk ^.^))
"Hey, it's my pleasure. Scorpion's a great meal when you know how to cook it properly."

Kotaro limped over to the house, his wounds seeping fresh blood. He finaly collapsed near the front door. With the last reseves of strength he had, Kotaro slammed his fist on the door, hoping someone would hear him. He passed out from his wounds moments later.

Tosh opened her door to the unconscious and injured Kotaro, gasping as she saw him. "Kotaro!" she exclaimed, picking him up and bringing him inside the house. She carefully sat him on the couch as she rushed to Fang's new room. She plucked an alchemy book on healing, rushing back.

He noticed the rush Tosh was in, and followed not far behind.
When he reached the couch, he nodded. "Been in a lot of scrapes like this...only being left konked out in the middle of the desert. Heh."
Fang opened his bag and pulled out a small leather bottle, the liquid inside glowed a light blue. "Give him a seed, then have him drink this. That should heal him enough, but he'll still need a good long rest.

Kotaro eyes slowly opened. He slowly took in his surroundings. He was in a house, on a couch. A man was standing over him. His vision began to clear. "Fang?" His voice was barely a croak. The battle had left his throat destroyed. Kotaro struggled to speak. He had to tell them what he saw in Lior. He struggled to sit up, his wounds stinging as he sat up. "Fang, Wheres Tosh? I've got to..." He began to caugh. He raised his hand to his mouth to stop the spread. When he removed it, it was covered in blood. He turned back to Fang. "Fang, three....there are three of them...." He collapsed once again, unable to stay awake.

Fang nodded. He knew exactly what Kotaro was talking about. Three homunculi...Red Wing limits are gonna be found. Very soon.
"Kotaro, rest up. Drink this."
He brought the leather bottle to Kotaro's mouth, hoping he would drink.

Kotaro felt the liquid running down his throat. Although his throat was destroyed, he managed to drink the liquid. The pain seemed to dim a little. Kotaro managed to sit up once again. His throat was slowly being repaired. He still felt sore, but the large amount of pain had dissappeared. Kotaro wanted to rest, but the Homunculi were looking for him, and he needed to prepare. He turned to Fang. "Thank you Fang. Do you have anything I could write with?" He asked.

He nodded again, but this time he had a rather...evil smirk on.
"Scorpion venom. Poisonous, and useful as invisible ink."
He pulled out a large glass bottle filled with the clear, but purple tinted, liquid. "Will this do?"

Kotaro smiled "Might be better suited for the job." He grabbed the bottle and grabbed his new book he got from the store. He turned to Fang. "This book is an autobiography. It was written a long time ago by a young alchemist who encountered homunculie. It tells in some chapters about how to trap and kill a homunculas." Kotaro had begun using the venom to draw the grand arcanum circle on the floor, and had just finished. He began to draw the second tier on the roof. He turned to Fang after he finished. "Listen, only Tosh knows about my past, and thats one of the reasons why I trust her. It's also the reason why I cant kill one of the homunculi. I can kill the other two, but there is one I cant." Kotaro's face held a deep sadness. one he believed had been gone since the sewer incident.

Fang's evil smirk fully developed into a dark, twisted, and sinister grin.
"And you want me to take care of it, don't you? Buddy, look. I don't care much for the past, but if it's a creature like that, consider it dead. Just as long as I can keep it's stone."

Kotaro turned to Fang. "Once you kill a homunculas, their stone dissipitates. It wont be there anymore." Kotaro sat on the couch. "Listen I have a stone." Kotaro pulled out a crimson stone. "It's a long story, but I have had it for a while. You kill the homunculas I cant, and you can have it."

"Deal. Tosh should be back soon, but as for me, I'm going on a hunt. If anything happens, use this."
Fang handed Kotaro a small device with a button on it. "Press that, and watch what will happen. It will stun any homunculus for a good bit, but will shred any chimera in a 1 mile radius."
Why didn't I use this?
