Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Team Harmony may have been busy bees when it came to their tasks, but with the whole group basically away, Orora high school continued its schedule without too much trouble. Even with that though, they still wondered what was going on with Team Harmony off on their demon hunting missions, which had gone around basically since they left. Gakuho had allowed them to go off and do this, albeit a little reluctantly, and with Heine also gone, things were looked fairly normal around his school. No Heine, no Team Harmony, almost the same as it had before this whole thing started. Underline almost.
Over in the E class, the lack of any Elric or Phantomhive really dulled down the mood for many of them. As if the lack of any assassinations were dulling enough (for most of them anyway), without Karma, Ed, Al, Ciel, or Heine around, as pre-mentioned it appeared as the same as it had before the demon situation started. The only thing that remained was Envy, and he was honestly feeling a little fifty-fifty about things. Sure, his fateful meeting with Sombra didn't happen, but just as well, he nearly caused Nagisa to throw his life away, which was oddly nagging at him. That, and with Team Harmony all but gone, who knows what'll happen now that they're away? As far as he was aware, him and anyone else, Tokyo was left a bit open for any demon to hop in and cause some trouble at the least. Not that they couldn't handle it themselves, but it still was something to think about for many of them here.

At the moment, it was class-time, second period, and 3-E was still going a bit slow on things. Not even Korosensei's fancy trick of his mach-20 speed, making it appear that he was in multiple places and fazing with each one, didn't exactly lift up any spirit or made things too exciting.

"Alright class, let's get some special teaching treatment rolling today! You all just got back from new years break, so let's brighten up the minds and re-light those bulbs!" Korosensei said, trying to get the mood up and up. Envy just sat there, staring out to the window as Korosensei was doing this, taking little notice of what he was even doing. Korosensei's voice even jumped from one to the next, and it sounded like a crowd was giving different lectures at the same time. Hinano, in spite of the racket, saw Envy over nearby and she could easily see that something was bothering him.

"I'm here, I'm fine, why do I feel like crap about it? Damnit, these emotions, I thought I got this all down already," Envy thought, his teeth gritting ever so slightly. It got to the point when the chattering was starting to get to him. The class wanted to say something about this odd move, but they didn't really get it out fast enough for Envy's liking, so ...

"WILL YOU SHUT UP?! God, I can't hear myself think!" Envy roared, up on his feet now. Korosensei freaked out and stopped.

"What, I thought this personal study would be better on the student. Each mind operates differently, and it's my job to help with that," Korosensei said, now appearing at the front desk.

"We all can't think with that kind of teaching, one Korosensei's fine," Terasaka said, equally annoyed. At least now he can actually say something without getting overblown by all the racket. Envy sat back down, hand to forehead, and trying to calm down as some students watched on.

.......

It took a bit quicker than expected, but the periods passed on from there, and eventually, Envy was out in the halls with the other students for the lunch break. Envy took the moment to chill out not inside the school, but off just outside by the forest edge. Typically, no one else would really be out here behind the school, especially during the cold winter days, yet Envy got himself in some winter clothes and was feeling pretty content with himself. That, and it wasn't just him out here, but a rather surprising guest as well: Emi Isuzu. And since she was only with Envy, she wasn't hiding her true, fat self with him either. Under any normal circumstances this would be completely alien, but with their given history with eachother, they grown at least a little more comfortable with their company. And, fitting lunch time, they both had their respected bento boxes and were snacking away.

"Ah, this is the life," Emi sighed happily, laying her back against a tree. Normally she wouldn't enjoy herself like this unless she was home alone, so the extra privilege was pretty nice for her. Envy wasn't gonna judge her by physical appearance, she was guaranteed that.

"Yeah, guess it is. You make that yourself?" Envy asked, looking to Emi's bento box, which admittedly was plenty bigger than his own, not to mention looking pretty good.

"No, picked it up on the way to school. I managed to get the deluxe package too," Emi said, happily eating away at her meal. Envy watched Emi eat up her meal with joy, and while it was nice, it did remind Envy of someone else he knew. Flashes of him went through his mind, and he turned away from her for a moment. Emi caught him staring though.

"What's with you?" Emi questioned.

"Nothing, it's fine, you just got a large bento," Envy stated, which was true. Most bentos were typically smaller than what Emi had. Yet, while many of his lies did help him before, Emi started to grow a bit cheeky. she saw him staring at her, and she knew enough why someone would be.

"Checking me out?" Emi teased. Envy felt a shiver.

"When did I say that? I said you got a large bento!" Envy insisted.

"Come on, I saw you, you little pervert. You know how many boys check me out everyday, I know damn well how this works," Emi said, winking to him and even pushing out her chest a bit, letting her boobs bounce over her belly.

"You know how many times I've gone through this routine, bitch, it won't work," Envy bluntly stated. He already saw Gluttony with her, Lust was another reminder he didn't want to think over. Emi just smugly grinned.

"You know Envy, we are alone.~ Perhaps you and I can have some fun?~" Emi cooed, snuggling against him. Now Envy got freaked out and bolted back ... just for Emi to laugh.

"That didn't take much," Emi laughed.

"Well how would you feel if a chick suddenly came onto you? Since when were you so cheeky anyway?" Envy snapped, Emi laying back against the tree.

"Well, I already showed you the real me. I can relax and have some fun," Emi pointed out, smirking. Envy saw her point, though the sudden sexual advance wasn't on his mind. She did have a point though, at least she had one person she could show herself to without backlash to her reputation. Envy didn't consider her as a cheeky sort, but what was he to know about that anyway? If being a human taught him one thing, it's that they can be wild cards when they want to be.

"Whatever you say," Envy simply said. And not a moment too soon either. Envy sat back down, and looked on into the forest for a moment, just ready to take another bite of his meal, when something off in the forest started to rustle a bit. It wasn't exactly something usually too weird, but when Envy looked, it appeared to be a sort of human figure. And he couldn't figure out who it was at first, though his nerves were amped up almost immediately, irises shrinking and eyes widening.

"You can't be serious?! Is that -" Envy blinked only once, and the figure was suddenly gone.

"Damnit, lunch's over," Emi pointed out, snapping Envy back to reality for the moment. With this figure now gone, Envy had a feeling that it wasn't going to be so simple anymore.

.......

Well, school went on normally from there, and boy did Envy have more on his mind now. Lust, Gluttony, that figure he saw earlier, all of that swirled around in his head as school time ended, and as he was heading off for home. He didn't have much time to join with the usual crowd for the walk back, and he actually ended up going off walking alone. Not with the gang, not with Hinano, just him by himself with his thought. This nagging feeling he had wasn't exactly the same as the one he had with Emi Isuzu before, but it still was there and still was bothering him.

"How are those two doing? Lust. Gluttony. ... Here I am enjoying a better life, and they're still stuck as Sombra's toys. Damn it. They're the only ones who actually treated me correctly, and I just ditched them. ... Damn. Does that Team Harmony have these thoughts all the time?" Envy's inner monologue was met with his hand to his forehead, seeing the possible answer for these nagging thoughts. He hadn't seen hide or hair of Lust and Gluttony ever since they captured Nagisa, but there was one thing he could confirm: they know what happened to him. And with that stunt, they know he doesn't want to go back either. Then his thoughts returned to that figure he saw earlier.

"You bastard, Sombra. I know you're somewhere here. If you did anything to Lust and Gluttony, there'd be hell to pay," Envy thought, gritting his teeth. He had enough trouble going through this hurdle himself, now he had to think about what his old friends were doing off back home. Then again, they were still Homunculus, so, they could handle it far better than he could now. Eventually, Envy's walk was briefly stopped thanks to a traffic light, nearby the shopping district. Typically, the rush of people going through the district would be nothing to Envy at this point, and he took a moment to look over to the crowds.

"Still as busy as ever? Don't these people have anything better to do? ... Wait a minute." Envy focused his vision to the crowd, and he could've sworn that someone in there looked ... familiar. It wasn't as ominous as the figure earlier, but it did make Envy stop and stare a little bit. And she was walking right to him too.

"I really am getting homesick," Envy thought again, just as the light turned green, and he started walking on his way. Being gone from the Underworld for so long was taking a toll on him, apparently, and another nagging feeling started to follow him. Not one of guilt, but instead the feeling he was being followed. Go figure. He glanced back, and sure enough, that same person was indeed following him along.

"No, no Envy. Just get it over with, you bitch," Envy decided, stopping, and turning around to face whoever it was. If it truly was who he was thinking, then maybe it wouldn't be so bad. He just has to lie himself out of trouble again, that's all. It wouldn't be the first time, anyway, and soon that same figure was standing in front of him.

"Envy," said the all too familiar, female voice. It was a bit of a hard place to talk to her with, so Envy walked off to a more secluded location with less people to hear them.

"Hey, Lust. Been a while. What're you doing here now?" Envy asked, sounding like he would normally be. The women knew her own name, and it confirmed everything else.

"I want to have a word with you," Lust answered.

"K, look, I know I'm going through a lot with this damn human body, tell Sombra I'm working it out," Envy said. However, Lust was a bit smarter this time around, and she wasn't buying the simple act.

"Envy, we both know he left you for dead. You don't have to keep lying to me," Lust stated. Envy cringed on that. guess Nagisa told them the details after all, and what exactly happened to him. Envy groaned, but then ...

"... How is it? Being human?" Lust then asked. now Envy really didn't have a clue what to tell her. This was the same Lust as back in the Underworld, right? Envy rolled his eyes, but he knew he can't keep up with this act of his.

"Complicated. But hell, it beats being a servant. Why, did Sombra send you after me?"

"It doesn't matter. After Nagisa's little visit, I took time to think, and ... I left that demon lord behind me," Lust admitted. Envy couldn't believe his ears. Sure, he no longer worked for Sombra, but he was banished from his group, he didn't know anyone who was willing to ditch the demon king like Lust did.

"No way, she's serious. What did Nagisa say there to change her mind?" Envy thought. Lust then looked to Envy again.

"If that Nagisa was willing to replace you, it's clear you'd rather be a human than a Homunculus. There has to be something about being a human that you want to keep, and I'd like to know what that is."

"... Well, I'm free for one thing. Humans here aren't stuck being servants their whole lives, they can be whatever the hell they want."

"You know, I still remember a time when you thought humans were nothing but worms," Lust pointed out. Envy knew exactly what she meant by that, and he knew damn well his previous thoughts on them and how they were completely dashed after his time there. Envy then noticed something else.

"Where's Gluttony?" Envy asked. That was one Homunculus he would expect to come along, but unfortunately Lust slightly recoiled on that question.

"I tried talking to him, but Gluttony won't come with me. Something about fresher meat with easier access," Lust said, disappointed. Envy felt his hand slap his forehead.

"Really, Gluttony?" he thought, though he could feel his mouth move to the words anyway. But then again, Gluttony would be a cannibal in the eyes of the human world, so there were some mixed feelings about it anyway. What's he supposed to do for that?

"So, you want to know how to be human, huh?" Envy asked once more. Lust wasn't a human by any means, but if it meant that she was away from slavery, then it would be a better idea to at least try. Lust nodded to him, and Envy then started to walk by her.

"I know one teacher that will be perfect for you. Meet me by the Orora High building tomorrow morning, and we'll see what he has to say, ok?" Envy decided. Lust couldn't help but agree to it, and as such they both went their separate ways. Well, one out of two.

~~

As day turned into night, Envy managed to get on back to Hinano's house. It had been a long time since envy actually had something planned out for tomorrow morning, and as he laid there in his bed, he just had to think about how this will work.

"So Lust actually ditched Sombra. I wonder how long it'll be until that demon finds out?" Envy wondered, staring up to the ceiling. As far as any demon was concerned under Sombra's rule, he would find out anything and everything that goes on in his group. It won't be too long until Lust would be found out, and who knows what'll happen then?
Before he could fall asleep, Hinano actually ended up knocking on his door. Guess she had something she wanted to ask him about after all, so Envy allowed her in, and opened the door.

"Hinano?"

"Hey, Envy. Is everything ok?" Hinano asked. Well, getting right to the point it seemed.

"Going right to the point, huh?" Envy commented.

"Well, Envy, you looked a bit ... out of it today. You can tell me," Hinano said, sitting down on the bed with Envy next to her. Envy sighed, and casually stretched.

"Yeah I'm fine, nothing wrong here. Did run into Lust today though," Envy said. Hinano jumped on that answer.

"Lust?! Where, when?" Hinano gasped.

"After school, I found her at the shopping district. I don't know what'll happen, but I'll say this: we might have another student soon. ... Again," Envy concluded. At this rate, she might as well be, considering what she did and what she wanted to do now. Hinano had a vague memory of Lust once upon a time, and Hinano felt a little uneasy about it.

"Eh, Envy, I don't know. There's nothing really normal about a adult women posing as a high school student," Hinano said.

"Says the student who has a octopus demon as a teacher," Envy bluntly stated. Suddenly the idea didn't sound as bad as she thought.

"Good point."

"Yeah." Envy stretched again, and then proceeded to lay back down on the bed, in a similar position as before. Hinano had another question fly through her mind then.

"Did Lust become a human too, Envy?"

"Lust? ... No."

"You sure?"

Envy would say the same thing, but the more he thought about it, the more he realized something. Lust did say she left Sombra, there's no denying that, but he didn't see anything that would make her a Homunculus. Her Ouroboros symbol was covered up, so he can't figure that part out, nor did Lust actually show any signs of being a Homunculus: no power activation or anything.

"We were in a populated area, I don't think they would like to see a girl with claws that can cut up a tank," Envy stated. A decent point again, and one of many he can pull out of a hat. Hinano took that as her answer, and then smiled to Envy.

"Well, Homunculus or not, we'll make her feel right at home, I promise," Hinano said with her sweet smile. Envy just couldn't help but smile with her too. He was lucky to have such a nice roommate.

"Plan on her moving in with us too?" Envy joked. Hinano blushed a little.

"No, but maybe Korosensei might be interested," Hinano admitted. Envy and Hinano laughed at that, and Envy was starting to feel a bit better. Korosensei had plenty of tricks up his sleeves, so perhaps Lust would be fine yet. Hinano got up and began to head out, and Envy got himself comfortable. Tomorrow will decide what'll happen to him, Lust, and those in 3-E.

~~

"Welcome everyone, glad you all could be here today! It's so nice to know you'll all be so willing, it warms my heart."

The next morning, and in Orora high, class was just about ready to begin. Aside from Team Harmony of course, there wasn't really any sight of missing students that morning. Well, not at first anyway: Korosensei went through his attendance sheet, and after a little bit, he noticed some people actually were missing. Guess he jumped the gun there.

"Eh? Anyone seen Hinano and Envy?" Korosensei asked, but none of the students really answered at first. And in the end, they didn't have to.

"We're here, we're here! Sorry we're late!"

Hinano and Envy had arrived, though it was Hinano who got there first, slightly winded, and lucky to make it there in the time she did.

"Ah, Hinano, glad you could join us. And just in time too, we're about to go over some Underworld arithmetic this morning, I'd hate to leave you left out," Korosensei said, sounding a bit excited.

"Sorry about that. Envy and I have a surprise for our class: a new student's joining us today," Hinano announced. As if a few alchemists, former Homunculus, and the queen's guard dog weren't enough. Korosensei looked confused, his face turning into an X symbol.

"You know I'm the one that makes that announcement," Korosensei stated.

"Not this time."

"Oh, Envy, there you - WHAAAA?!"

And in entered Envy with their new "student". Envy felt pretty good about it, but when everyone else saw Lust Homunculus walk in, all attention was shot right to her. It took a bit for her to get in a more comfortable, and more appropriate outfit (as hard as that was for her), and in the end she had the look of another teacher, or representative. No high school outfit was going to exactly fit her, and even if one could, decency wouldn't even exist with Lust. The boys especially saw her interested. Go figure.

"WOWIE," Korosensei gasped, his face pink and steam out of his nostrils, almost in a cartoony fashion.

"Wait. You mean him?" Lust asked, pointing to Korosensei.

"Trust me, I questioned him too at first. Hey, Koro, here's your new student, Lust Homunculus. Thoughts?" Envy asked. Korosensei looked as willing to have her aboard as many of the other students would be. The teacher was a little too distracted to think properly.

"Sure thing.~"

"So forward?" Lust thought. It took a bit though for both of them to see where he was gazing at, and Lust just took it in stride. For a Homunculus who's embodiment is her namesake, what else would she expect?

"How about you take a seat by young lady?" Korosensei suggested, tentacle extended to the classroom, and showing her the options.

"Isn't she a bit old to be a student?" Nakamura quietly commented, though she was beginning to feel much like Envy's namesake when she was watching her go by and go into her seat.

"I-It was Envy's idea. She wanted to learn how to be human," Hinano quietly explained, though she was a bit iffy about it herself. None of their students were adults, after all, and look who decided to show up.

"How did she even get in here in the first place? Did you and Envy bribe Gakuho or something, or did she actually seduce him for this?" Nakamura then questioned, trying to figure it out. Hinano really didn't know how Envy pulled it off with Gakuho, or even if she did, she didn't feel up for answering that question. Envy could sense just how many eyes were focusing on his homunculi friend.

"Well I'll say this: no one has a problem with her being here. ... Glad they're already used to Homunculi."

.......

The day continued onward from there, and without too much incident apart from some classmates getting a minor distraction out of the bombshell in their class now. Lust just kept quiet throughout most of the classes, at attention with what Korosensei had to say, a bit more than she would normally do. Envy kept a close eye on her throughout the day, just to be sure she was comfortable with things going on here, and to be sure she was learning her skills in being a normal human being. It mainly worked as a shifting system: Korosensei would give his know-how to her during classes and Envy would actually give her some tips and tricks in between. It was a basic practice, but an efficient one in order for Lust to get the full idea down on how being a human actually worked.
Lucky for Lust, the reaction by the time lunch came around wasn't really as crazy as it would be. Then again, this school had seen its fair share of the weird and wonderful, so seeing a sexy chick suddenly show up didn't make such a commotion. Or at the least, not such a commotion as the first couple of newcomers had, as a few boys did turn their gazes to her time and again, again Lust not giving them much mind.

"So, Envy, I see this is what you've been used to over these months?" Lust noted, looking around the lunchroom. Envy was enjoying his own lunch as she was saying such.

"Yeah, it's fine: plenty of light, cooler, and plenty of humans who're not trying to get you," Envy replied.

"That last part's still debatable. I think many of the humans would want to try me," Lust said, glancing back to some of the boys nearby, who pretended like they weren't looking. Who were they trying to fool?

Anyway, as they were going through lunch, there was still one demon teacher who was still keeping a proper eye on them: Korosensei. Like any peeping tom, he kept well clear of his target, peeking just around the corner of the cafeteria door, giving him just enough of a view of this fem fatale of a Homunculus. Eventually though, after giving himself a reminder with a hit of his own tentacle, Korosensei straightened up and went over to her, seemingly with something in hand.

"Here you are, my dear, got the little trinkets like you asked," Korosensei said with his signature giggles, placing down Lust's meal. It wasn't really a Japanese dish, but more of something from back in England, with a fresh meal of cooked, fresh Feebas. Lust smiled.

"Thank you. You're pretty sweet," Lust said, giving some bedroom eyes to Korosensei, the demon teacher swooned by her charm. Envy just smirked, and continued his own lunch. Leave it to Lust to swoon a gullible chump into her fingertips. Though, Envy got a closer look, and :Lust seemed a bit deep into swooning Korosensei.

"Let me know if you need anything else, ok?" Korosensei said.

"I sure will," Lust responded. Korosensei simply giggled, and went back to his post off out of the way.

"Was Lust always this flirty? Guess I didn't have much time to notice," Envy figured. He was gone from her for a long time, guess some things had developed with her. It happens.

"Neuhuhuhuhu~ This is interesting. Wonder when I can set things up? We'll just have to see."

~~

"Goodnight, Envy, see you in the morning."

Well, the rest of the day was pretty much the same, and as Envy had probably figured, Lust was offered a place to stay once it all was done for the day. Korosensei was the one who made that preparation (naturally), and after a little bit, Envy was off and back to his own corner of the world. Throughout the day, and envy was simply wondering over Lust, and how she must be doing with all of this. One day seemingly went well, and after school went pretty smoothly too, far as they knew. And on to the night, it all went on fairly normal. ...
So far, nothing really occurred throughout the night. About three hours in, and Envy was still fast asleep. Not a single noise that could actually bother him. As he stayed still, quiet and sleeping, he began to feel something actually go onto the bed with him. Envy groaned a little bit, trying to move his feet so whatever was on there would go off and stop bothering him, but it didn't work. He did eventually open his eyes though, and oddly, he found that Hinano was standing off nearby.

"What now?" Envy yawned. Hinano turned her eyes downward.

"I ... Well, can I ... sleep with you tonight?" Hinano asked. Envy was far too tired to think properly.

"Yeah, sure," Envy answered. Hinano soon joined Envy from there. Envy expected this to go smoothly, and he was ready to go back to sleep, but all of a sudden Hinano started to move herself around a bit. Next thing Envy knew Hinano was on her hands and knees, looking sexually stressed in the face, and stripped down to her bra and panties.

... Wait what?

"H-HINANO, WHAT THE HELL?!" He wasn't tired anymore. Envy quickly backed up to the head of the bed, sliding up straight so he wasn't underneath Hinano, the girl moving closer to him. What the hell happened in those three hours?!

"Envy, it's me Hinano."

"I know who you are, but -" suddenly, Hinano brought her finger to Envy's mouth to get him to be quiet. Envy wasn't sure if this was some twisted dream he's having, or if Hinano was showing her true colors, but regardless he didn't know how to react to this. Hinano started to move closer to him again, eye to eye with Envy, and her eyes showing a desire that Envy knew shouldn't be for Hinano. It was just foreign for her to jump to this so quickly, and so unprompted too. It was then Envy got a closer look at Hinano's eyes.

"I've been holding back for so long, Envy. Please, just let me do this.~"

.......

"SCREW YOU!"
Envy pushed Hinano back, and before she could recover, Envy brought up both feet and slammed her square in the face! The impact sent her flying to the wall, the thud good and loud for the people in the house to hear what was going on. If that thud didn't do it, Envy's scream surely would've.

"E-Envy, how could you?"

"Shut it, Chrysalis! You can change your form, but not that green aura of yours," Envy scoffed. Hinano didn't react at first, but she then got up and made sure that the door was locked up. Then came the aura change, and in green embers her whole body started to change. The transformation wasn't exactly the same as Envy used to transform, but when he saw Chrysalis standing there, Envy's blood immediately began to boil. The same women who stole everything from him was back again, and nearly had her way with him no less! Chrysalis, now barely clothed and flaunting, turned to Envy with a devilish look in her eyes.

"Well, you would be the one to know how your own powers work, huh?" Chrysalis snickered.

"The hell do you want this time? You already took my powers away from me," Envy scolded. Chrysalis ran her fingers through her hair, her arm under her boobs as if to flaunt her breasts to him, as much of a mixed feeling that was for Envy.

"I heard from a little blue bird that someone actually likes being a human being. So I thought I'd check in on him to figure it out, and looks like he's right," Chrysalis said, strutting closer to him. Envy was already freaked out, and he didn't need her to try anything fancy with him.

"So what if I do? I'm not wasting my breath as your kind's play thing," Envy scoffed. Chrysalis however got onto the bed again, this time forcing Envy under her.

"What's wrong with being my play thing?~"

"Get off me!" Envy yelled. He still wasn't as strong as he used to be, despite all his training, and now that Chrysalis wasn't holding back, she had him stuck.

"Didn't change too much, I see. I still don't know what Sombra sees in you, but it's starting to piss me off that he'll let a Homunculus live even after banishing him. ... You understand, don't you, sweetie?" Envy's thoughts were confirmed when Chrysalis then brought her hand down to his throat, wrapping around it. Envy's eyes opened wide, but before Chrysalis could start with him, they both heard the doorknob being tampered with.

"Envy! Envy!" called Hinano. Chrysalis got her hand covering Envy's mouth to keep him quiet, and then cleared her throat.

"Just a rough dream, Hinano, go back to sleep," Chrysalis said, her voice now sounding exactly like Envy. Envy struggled under her grip, but with Chrysalis now having only one hand on him, he got more control, and forced Chrysalis's hand off of him. But then it was Envy's turn for another surprise, him jumping right out of bed, and reaching under his pillow ... and pulling out a steel hand gun!

"Taking tips from Ciel, I see," Chrysalis asked, admittedly a little off guard by the sudden power shift.

"You think I'm going down that easily?" Envy asked.

"Envy, who's in there with you?!" Hinano called, worried for him. It was then that Chrysalis got an idea.

"I wouldn't if I were you. You don't want your human friends involved, do you?"

"That's it!" Envy had enough with her now. she took all from him, and now he had the moment of revenge right in his sight! His trigger-hungry finger finally pulled, and the gunshot rang out throughout the house! Chrysalis just managed to miss the shot, but Envy wasn't going to give her the chance, and reloaded his gun for another shot. When he took a look again though -

"N-Nabiku?"

his hesitation screwed him over, and Chrysalis's trick left him wide open.

Then it was lights out.

~~

"Envy? Envy, you still with us?"

Well, that was something that happened. Envy got himself around after a while, but he wasn't back home. Or at least, not back at Hinano's house, but instead, he was off down in a street alleyway. Where exactly, he had no idea, nor did he knew how he got there, but one thing he could guarantee was that his migraine was not just from a bad night's sleep. He stayed quiet, getting his vision after a while. However, it didn't come back fast enough when he tried to attack whoever was in front of him.

"Hey, calm down, chill!" the same voice said, just avoiding Envy's hits. Envy shook himself off and got his eyes straight, and found Terasaka's gang around him. That, and it was morning too, so he was out for a while.

"Chill, dude, it's just us. Got in a bit of a brawl last night, or what?" Yoshida asked, seeing the injury Envy had on his head, which at this point was nastily bruised up and red.

"Wait ... How could I know one of you is not Chrysalis in disguise?" Envy asked.

"... Who?" Takuya asked. Much of the gang was completely confused on this statement (why wouldn't they?), and envy had to get himself straight here.

"How hard did you get hit in the head?" Yoshida asked.

"Ok, dumbasses, how'd I get here? Did you drag me out here to finish me off? Which one of you was here and who showed up to -" Terasaka got Envy to shut up by slapping him in the face. Unprecedented, but it got Envy to think a bit better. Envy saw none of the others did anything when he did that, plus if they were against him, they would all go in at him. Terasaka would hit harder at least. Terasaka raised his hand again.

"No, no, no, no, OK, OK, accusing, over," Envy quickly said, lowering Terasaka's hand before he could get another hit.

"Envy, we just found you passed out right here this morning. Sounds like this Chrysalis left you for dead after she beat you up," Kirara hypothesized. That would be something Chrysalis would do, far as Envy was concerned. But he wouldn't be out here. ... Then something hit him.

"Hinano!" Suddenly, he was on his feet, and despite his injury, rushed off out of the alleyway, and down the street.

"Wait, Envy!" called Terasaka.

Pretty soon, Envy was in a mad dash to get himself back to Hinano's place, with Terasaka's gang following behind him. Even after his beating, Envy had plenty of energy in his mad dash, and he didn't stop for anyone . A number of people actually had to get out of his way as he ran by. He continued running down the road non-stop, until he reached the similar corner that'll lead over to the house. However, he only needed one second to see that last night was no nightmare: the police had arrived at Hinano's house, several police cars and an ambulance around the area. Hinano's parents were talking to the officers, and lucky for Envy, Hinano was sitting in the ambulance. She was still conscious, but it was clear that Chrysalis had more than just Envy she wanted to beat down, as Hinano had a brutal injury done to her right side, which was bandaged up with an ice pack to it. She was talking to some officers too, and Envy wasted no time in rishing right in.

"Envy!" Hinano called. Envy stopped himself when he got closer to Hinano, much of the gang stopping earlier along the borderlines of the cars. The gang took a moment to see the details of the area they ran into. Aside from all the police reinforcements, the actual house remained a bit untouched apart from a window that had been smashed from the inside.

"You know this boy?" asked one of the officers near her.

"I'm her roommate, now what the hell happened?" Envy quickly asked. Hinano looked over to one of the doctors who showed up to Envy.

"Your friend has a deep gash to her right side, just narrowing missing her liver. It doesn't look too fatal, but she'll need to be sewed up and remain in hospital care for a few days to be sure," the doctor explained. Envy felt a swell of rage rush through him when he saw Hinano with such a injury. The human he was closest to, and he knew damn well who did this to her too.

"Chrysalis," he hissed, just loud enough for the officers to hear him.

"Chrysalis. Wait, you know who did this?"

"Do I know her? she tried to kill me in there! If she thinks she will get away with this, so help me." Envy didn't need to finish his sentence for everyone to get the idea.

"Damnit Chrysalis! Why did you go after them? You're just trying to piss me off, aren't you?" Envy thought, the images from the night prior flashing through his head. He expected her to go after him, sure, but to go after Hinano ... now that just crossed a line. However, despite his anger, Hinano was moved inside the ambulance, with her parents ready to follow her.

"You going with them?" the doctor then asked. Envy stayed quiet at first.

"I'll come by later," Envy simply said. It took a bit before he saw Hinano being taken away in the ambulance. He walked over back to the gang nearby, letting the officers try and handle the situation at the house. Chrysalis wasn't there, so what could he even do? He'll have to figure it out later, but there was still another question that shot through his head.

"Wait ... how did she knew where I lived?" Envy stated, growing slightly spooked for a brief moment. And this statement wasn't ignored either.

"Oh, I think we can answer that. Neuhuhuhuhu~"

~~

Well, it felt lonely the next day. With Hinano in the hospital, 3-E just had a bit less of a positive lift in their classroom. The incident spread around the room in little time at all, and soon the whole class knew about what the Kurahashi family. They were troubled, sure, but oddly enough, envy seemed less sad and more ... monotone. He had been given some treatment yesterday after arriving at the hospital, leaving him with a patch on his head, which many of them noticed easily. Lust was the only one in there that wasn't exactly in the know about what had happened, nor was behaving too strongly about it. Something that Envy was taking quite a bit of note on ...

"Where is that teacher?" wondered Sugino. A bit odd to note, Korosensei would've shown up by now, yet that morning he wasn't there. Could be from the incident yesterday, perhaps, but Envy knew what was going on. Nabiku quietly looked over to Envy for a moment, and Envy was actually acting a bit impatient. Sure, he didn't show as much sorrow about it, but it almost looked like he had an appointment to keep, his finger impatiently tapping on his desk, as he was waiting for Korosensei to show up.

"Come on, Koro," Envy thought, trying to keep himself down until -

"Good morning, class!"

Bingo. It took a bit of time, but Korosensei did eventually show up to class. A bit later than normal, but he was there, and he was ready to get this ball rolling.

"What kept you?" one of the students asked.

"Oh, just wanted to prepare some things, fellow hunters. It's come to my attention that we've been a bit lacking in the training department, so I had a chit-chat with Gakuho this morning, and he's agreed to let us head off on a little trip."

"The 3-E building?" assumed Kirara.

"3-E building," Korosensei confirmed.

"Seriously? No offense, teach, but we just got here," Sugino noted.

"No problem: take all the time you need ladies and gentlemen. The endurance will be a sure fire method in your little training," Korosensei said, suddenly disappearing and reappearing in an instructor's outfit. It was annoying, but Lust did find this a bit interesting.

"Training? So he's been teaching them how to fight, Envy?" Lust quietly asked.

"It's been his hobby for a while now, and it's been working out pretty well. We can't do it here, so we handle training off at the isolated 3-E building," Envy explained. After a bit, they began to go, Lust thinking a bit more on what Envy had just told her.

.......

"One! Two! Three! Four!"

It took some time, but they managed to get to their old stomping grounds of the 3-E building, and out in the winter cold, it was off and training again. A bit nostalgic actually, for it had been a while since many of 3-E had been to the place. The building, they would've thought being worn out, was actually spruced up a bit for their return by you-know-who. Much of the students were off aside and training, but Lust actually got a free pass, since she had plenty of deep experience about fighting herself, not to mention the disadvantage the others would have with her.

"Envy sure has been practicing. Guess that explains some of his moves," a particular someone thought. As they continued training, Envy actually paused first, stopping his training and looking back to the 3-E building itself.

"Envy, come on, keep up," Nakamura said.

"No need, you all can stop now," Envy stated. They did, but it was a bit confusing. Once they did though, they soon saw Korosensei and Lust sneaking off on them, heading towards the storage shed.

"Ok, what're you up to?" Nakamura questioned.

"Let's just say Korosensei's doing me a favor," envy said, looking devilish in his smile as he watched them go into the shed.

"Wait, what, but isn't she your friend?" Nabiku asked, shocked.

"Just watch."

Meanwhile, inside the shed, Korosensei and Lust went on inside, and Korosensei closed the door himself so the cold wind wouldn't go in. It was just him, Lust, and plenty of the school's sports equipment and weaponry. A sight for sore eyes for Korosensei, and he went on to look around.

"And here's the old storage shed. Oh, the memories I have of this place. So, what is it you want to pick from here?" Korosensei asked. Lust was quiet at first, but when Korosensei turned to face her, he soon found something that any normal man would ... well, love to see. his face turned pink, flustered, and Lust looked to him with a face of longing, as her dress was slowly starting to slide off of her!

"I-I'm sorry for this. But, I've wanted to get to know you better, my sensei.~ I always had a thing for such lovely creatures like you.~" Lust cooed, moving closer to him with plenty of cleavage to show. Korosensei looked freaked out on this advance, tentacle flailing around, and his face blushing up a storm.

"Am I a naughty girl, sensei?~ You think I should be punished?~ Please punish me.~"

"W-Whoa, whoa, whoa, w-we've just met!" Korosensei insisted, though he actually was very flattered by this.

"I just can't help myself. It drives me crazy seeing such creatures like you. ... I can't hold back.~"

"Right now?!" Korosensei gasped.

"This naughty girl needs to strip down out of these clothes. I won't be long, sensei.~" Lust cooed, slipping behind a nearly chalkboard. Korosensei, entrapped by the advances, simply stood there giggling like an idiot. Standing there, defense lowered, and off guard. ...
Unaware of some peering eyes looming in from the darkness of the storage shed.

"RAAHH!"

Then it happened: out of the gloom, as Lust hid behind the chalkboard, four large, powerful demons leaped out from the darkness, each one looking more like insects than humans with dark green skin, sharp claws, and razor teeth with bug eyes, and each one leaping right onto him with their claws and teeth digging into him! Korosensei's gasp caught the attention from outside, and the other students grew concerned over his safety, but a good amount of the class didn't move in to help him.

"W-What's that?" one of the students asked.

"Come on!" Nabiku suddenly gasped, blindly rushing over towards the storage shed. Or at least, she would if Kirara didn't grab and stop her first.

"He'll be fine," Kirara reassured.

"B-But, but -"

All of a sudden, the noise stopped. nothing left but the sounds of some weak groans, none of which were from Korosensei. As for what's going in inside there, Lust waited for the fight to cool down, and slipped out from behind the chalkboard, only to find ...

"Nice try.~"

Well, the plan didn't work. The four demonic creatures laid on the floor, cut up by, to her surprise, some needles Korosensei was holding in his tentacles. And the surprise was that, while he was cut up, he was hardly hurt and any tentacle he lost grew back with ease. Lust was quiet, but Korosensei was enjoying himself, slowly moving closer to her, as she moved back to the wall.

"Oh, you're so predictable: lulling your target into some false security and try to take them down one by one. There's some things you should know about me. One: my body is highly regenerative, and some simple scratches from claws and teeth are nothing but tiny paper cuts to this body. Two: did you honestly think that a middle-aged women would even want to be in a class with high-scholars? Three: ... I've wanted to present a little technique of my own. I have a little talent in massage.~"

.......

"NOO! ... No. ... no ..."

... Ok then.

"W-what the?"

"What's he doing?"

The curiosity got the better of the students now, and after everything had calmed down, a number of students went right up to the storage shed, just as Korosensei, calm and happy, went right on outside. His face was normal again, but that was the least of their issues here.

"What happened in there?" Nakamura asked.

"And where is she?" asked Envy.

"She's in there, and you won't have to worry about her for a while," Korosensei explained.

The group was confused a bit, but eventually someone did end up slowly going outside too, though she wasn't as gleeful as Korosensei was. She looked rather weak in the knees, slowly walking out like a zombie would, her eyes in a daze, and her face red. And for some reason, dressed up in a student gym outfit, which can go without saying was a bit small on her. However, it wasn't Lust exactly who was walking out of that storage shed.

It was Chrysalis.

"... The hell is wrong with you?" Chrysalis managed to say, weakly. She wouldn't show her true self like this, but she was far too weak to shapeshift right now.

"It would take longer for me to say what happened than the time it took for him to do it. He worked out the knots in my back. Massaged me head to toe, in every spot. A change of clothes, just because. And there was this thing with his tentacles. ..." Chrysalis then collapsed onto the ground, too weak in the knees to stay on her feet. The sexual images flying through their heads not withstanding.

"What thing with his tentacles?!" the class asked, though they didn't get an answer from her.

"You didn't do what I think you did," Envy noted. Korosensei's face turned white and blank, turning away.

"Sometimes adults need ... special care."

"That's not the face of a trusting adult," Sugino said. Well, Chrysalis was found out, and found out in such a predicament. The humiliation was horrible, and it didn't help that Envy was standing right there, looking down at her. Him and other humans she would normally kill by now.

"How does it feel, Chrysalis?" Envy hissed, hammering in the point.

"D-Don't you start. ... So what're you going to do? Kill me? Sombra will hunt you all down when you do," Chrysalis hissed. Once upon a time, Envy would take that as an offer, but after a little bit, and looking to the class, he had another idea in mind.

"Chrysalis. You stole my power, disguised yourself as Lust, sexually assaulted me, and left me for dead. You think killing you would be good enough?" Envy asked. Chrysalis wasn't sure what they were up to, but she didn't want to stay around for it. Korosensei was quick to tie her up though, and soon, she ended up bounded down with surprisingly strong wire rope. Well, Chrysalis can assure herself that her life would stay in tact, but what could he have in mind?

"She sexually assaulted you?" asked Takuya.

"Disguised as Hinano, yeah. Horny bitch," Envy replied.

"But ... Why did you have to do that? what did they do to you?" Nabiku asked Chrysalis.

"Nothing at all; just getting rid of some dead weight. Or I would be if you bastards didn't do this to me!" chrysalis yelled, in a fit and trying to get herself out, but her energy was still too low to break out of this problem. Nabiku was simply stunned on that kind of answer.

"Maybe I can suggest something?" Kirara then asked.

"Sure, knock yourself out," Envy offered. Kirara went up to the Envy, and whispered her own idea into his ear. Not too long, a impish grin stretched on envy's face, mirroring Korosensei's grin. That was not reassuring.

.......

"GET ME DOWN FROM HERE, YOU'RE BURNING MY BRAIN!"

AND next thing they knew, Chrysalis was wrapped from head to toe, good and tight, hanging upside down in a tree, and some good amount of condiments up her nose. She was burning up like crazy, hurting, and being upside down didn't help much either. And what's worse, the condiments were tubes of salsa and hot sauce (you think mustard and wasabi was gonna do it?).

"Karma would be proud," Envy said, smirking as he watched her like this.

"So how long should we leave her like this, you think?" Korosensei asked.

"Oh, me?"

"This is your revenge object, you might as well decide the time at least," Nakamura said. Envy didn't need much time to figure out the answer.

"Give her a good four days, that should do her good with the cold front coming in."

"WHAT?! I'LL FREEZE TO DEATH!" roared Chrysalis.

"Not with that hot sauce and salsa keeping your inside warm," Envy smugly stated. That just angered Chrysalis even more so, and they simply left her there to her punishment. As they walked back to the main building from there, some of the students were a bit skeptical on their decision.

"Four days? Isn't that a bit long for a punishment? I-I'm not saying she shouldn't I mean -" asked Nabiku.

"She'll be fine. Barely," envy noted.

"Odds are she won't be able to smell for the next month, and have a severe dislike for hot sauce. Bitches pay prices for messing with the E class," Korosensei said, his face green-striped and cheeky again.

"Now wait a minute. When did you find out she wasn't Lust?"

"I had a suspicion about it, but I couldn't pin it on her until after that attack. Sorry Envy," Korosensei said. Envy felt some anger come up, but he wasn't dumb enough to jump at him. He didn't know the connection either, and a random attack might not come up at a good result anyway. However, Envy didn't give him an actual answer on their walk, so long as she was being punished. Envy sighed and just looked up to the sky for a moment.

"Where are you guys?"
