Chapter Seven

I Fought The Law and The Law Won

'Damn it,' Ed thought, as he walked into the court room, all of anyone there setting their eyes upon him. He didn't know who was going to win this; him or the Colonel. He knew that Archer liked neither of them too well, and it all depended on Ed's lawyer, who he was still confused about. He looked too much like--Ed brushed the thought out of his head. He couldn't be dealing with things like that at this moment, after all.

"The court is here to martial the case of Edward Elric and Roy Mustang, Edward the plaintiff, taking Mustang to court on the criminal charges of sexual harrasment. The court has Kaito Arume representing Edward, Maes Hughes representing Roy, and Mrs. Yukimoto as the prosecutor. All seat. Court trial begins now."

Ed's eyes scanned quickly over to the bench where Mustang was sitting, with his lawyer, and Hawkeye. Hawkeye looked at him and gave him a hopeful smile, which Ed returned. Mustang caught Hawkeye looking at Ed, and he turned to look at the boy as well, the only thing he holding was a smug smirk on his face. Ed glared at him, and turned back forward, staring at the Military court.

Thoughts of what Mustang and Hughes had said before all of this came back.

That was a real kiss, Fullmetal...

That man loves you.

I need you...

Ed couldn't help but wonder if he was actually doing the right thing. He looked down, and clutched his fists, tears spilling out and onto the desk, making certain spots dark brown. His blonde hair was hanging down in his face, his hair in a pony tail, not in a braid. He opened his hands and stared at his palms, wondering why things just had to go so wrong. Everyone in his life he had ever loved, was gone.

And he was taking one of them to court.

Ed laughed slightly, amused by his actions. He was so rash and undecisive, that he was sure if he had of thought about all of this before doing it, he wouldn't have done it. He had that feeling inside of him that day...

"Let me get this straight, Mr. Elric," Lutienant Hawkeye said, "You want to bring Colonel Mustang into court? On what accounts?"

"Sexual harassment."

"This is your final decision? Once I stamp this, it's done."

"I'm sure."

No, Ed wasn't sure anymore. This was wrong. He wasn't sure of anything anymore. He wasn't even sure who he was. He stared at the pocket watch he pulled out of his pocket. He opened it, and smiled, staring at the handwriting from long ago.

"Remember October 11th..."

And slightly under that, was also,

"Remember November 3rd..."

He sighed, and closed it, putting it up. He sat back up, only to find the Colonel staring at him, and when Ed looked, he quickly turned back around.

"The court calls Edward Elric to the stand."

Ed stood up, and walked around his bench, up to the court's bench. He held up his hand as they asked him to swear on his life, and military.

"Is it true, Mr. Elric, Roy Mustang, has sexually harrassed you?" asked his lawyer, Kaito Arume, asked, staring at him. Ed seemed hesitant, and he looked over to Roy, who looked as hard as stone was, his emotionless glare, boring into Ed's ever fiber and being. Finally, Ed looked back at his lawyer, and nodded.

Too far to go back now.

"And is it true, Mr. Elric, that you have proof of this claim?"

Ed nodded again.

"May I see it?"

Ed nodded once more, as if he didn't even have a voice. He slowly took off his red jacket and pulled down his black shirt. There on his neck were two visible bruise looking marks. But anyone with half a brain could tell what they really were. Ed's lawyer nodded in approval.

"And on the night of the sexual harrasment, what claims did Mr. Mustang make?"

"OBJECTION!" The prosecutor said, standing up. "He cannot directly ask what Mr. Mustang said without Mustang giving defense on his case." She said, smirking.

"The plaintiff calls Mustang to the stand."

Roy walked up to the stand, smirking smugly.

"On the counts of the night, what were you doing in Mr. Elric's room?"

"Telling him his reports were due."

Ed's eyes widened. 'Thats not true!' he yelled in his mind. Mustang was directly, bald face lying to the lawyer.

"What reports were this?"

"The death of his brother."

"And the death of his brother was caused by who?"

"Scar."

"Mr. Mustang, did you find it appropriate to get up from you smug desk, to walk all the way down to Mr. Elric's room just to tell him a report was due? Couldn't you just post it up on the board like all other military officials do?"

Mustang froze, and it looked like he was caught in something he couldn't get out of.

"Naturally, Edward being so close to me and all, I found it easier to just go to his room."

"Right. How close exactly?"

"OBJECTION!" The prosocuter said. It wasn't overruled. Ed watched the prosecutor give Archer a very non-business look. Archer slightly smirked, signaling something. If only Ed could figure it out...She looked so familar...

Mustang left the stand, and Hawkeye was called up to the stand.

"So you say you had no involvment in this case except for the fact you helped Mr. Elric sign the papers?"

"Yes, sir."

"And you heard nothing between the two? No conflicts before this?"

"No, sir."

Next up was Havoc. Havoc's ciggerette was naturally in his mouth, still crooked.

"You're personal friend with Mr. Elric and Mr. Mustang, aren't you?"

Havoc nodded.

"So, you would know if anything was going on?"

"Well yeah, I mean sure there was the rumors going around about them sleeping with eachother, and the rumors about them loving eachother, but nothing big ever happened until that night Roy was with that other girl and made Ed jelous I think--"

"OBJECTION! The defense did NOT ask those questions. The defense should not have the right to ask those questions. Stories are not aloud."

The objection wasn't overruled again.

The prosecutor smirked, sitting back down. Ed narrowed his eyes. It was bugging him. It seemed like everyone was on Mustang's side, except for his lawyer. And that prosecutor...

Ed's eyes widened. Thats why she looked familar! It was Suki! The one Mustang had snogged at the military ball!

His eyes narrowed once more.

She was going to let Mustang win. She was going to have Ed put in jail.

"The court has come to a decision."

More than likely that whore put Archer up to letting Mustang off free. No matter what defense his lawyer came up with, Ed would always be found guilty.

"The court finds Mr. Mustang..."

Ed glared at Mustang as hard as he could. That bastard.

"Not guilty."

"THATS INSANE! Mustang lied straight to your faces! And you Archer, you're cheating! You made a bet with that whore Suki there, I'm sure! Suki of course would take Mustang's side, being his ex and hoping to get something out of him. Archer your a damned fool for believing her. Mustang you're a fucking bastard. You're all insane." Ed said, and punched Archer, now on the stand.

The military officials grabbed Ed's arms and pulled him back.

"The court rules that the SHRIMP is to serve!"

Ed's eye twitched. SHRIMP! Serve TIME! He glared at Archer, then looked to Mustang, giving him the most betrayed look ever.

Mustang mearly turned, and walked away.
