Prologue:
Beyond the worlds of anime that we watch and adore, beyond the exciting adventures and fantasy missions that our favorite anime characters undergo, there exists a world...a world where anime characters co-mingle and live alongside each other, regardless of their locations and eras, where the anime characters we love and adore live like the norm of the human race. In this world...like our own...people have organizations...clubs, meetings and the like...places where they can act in ways completely different than what we expect then to be, free from peers and enemies, them anong others. One of the most well known, and also the largest, is the Order of the First Blood.
Shall we see what lies ahead?
"Another day, another load of work..." Seto Kaiba muttered to himself as he set down the last of his printed out documents for the day's quota.
It was almost sunset as the tall teen turned in his large computer chair and looked out the window. Mokuba had already went home, tired of waiting for his beloved older brother to finish. Such was the daily routine that they had together.
But...this time...this day would have a little detour.
Seto let out a small sigh as he boarded his private elevator, which led directly to the basement. There, waiting for him was an inconspicuous car, not all that different from the car that any normal person would drive.He took out the key, got in and turned the ignition. As the car whirred to life, he looked through the rearview mirror to check if there was anyone suspicious in the parking lot.
No such person, just the other car that he had left there just in case the one he was using was out of gas or had a flat.
'No one around...good.' He thought as he drove out of the underground lot. Afterwards he turned right, towards the outskirts of the city.
Meanwhile, in the other car, someone watched as he left.
"I knew it." He said, snapping his fingers. "I knew he'd leave."
Mokuba Kaiba leaned back in the leather seat and crossed his arms, smirking smugly. Isono...their trusted employee, just sweat dropped.
"I knew you were keeping something from me. I asked the secretary, and she said Seto always left at sunset, yet he comes back late at night. Why didn't you tell me?" He asked angrily.
Isono flinched at Mokuba's outburst, and straightened his sunglasses. "Mr. Kaiba specifically said not to tell you about it."
"Why?"
"Because it's top secret."
"What's so secret to not tell me about it?"
"It's top secret."
"What is top secret?"
"It's so top secret that he didn't tell me."
Mokuba pouted and threw himself back on the leather seat, bouncing slightly in its plush.
"Seto...why didn't you tell me...?" he asked no one.
Then, an idea struck. "Isono...Seto's car has GPS, right...?"
Isono nodded and let out a sigh, knowing where this was going.
"Follow him. Now..."
"Yes Mr. Mokuba..."
"Brother...?"
"Yeah...?"
"What are you thinking about...?"
Edward Elric lifted himself off his bed and looked at his younger brother Alphonse. Long after Alphonse's arrival into the world beyond the Alchemic Gates, they had traveled out of their city and have settled in a small cottage somewhere in the countryside. (this is post-Conqueror of Shamballa)
"Is it about me coming through the gates...?" he asked, his honey-covered-chocolate eyes sparkling with guilt.
"No, not that Al."
"Well, maybe you miss being able to do Alchemy..."
At that Edward got off of the bed ans smiled at his little brother. "No. I don't miss it at all..."
Ed trotted off, hands behind his head.
"Where are you going brother...?"
"Just out."
Alphonse watched as his older brother left his view, and after a moment, reappeared in the window behind Al, seeing him walk off in a certain direction, thought to himself.
'He's been going off somewhere...but when I ask, he won't tell me.'
Al got off of his bed as well, and started to follow his older brother.
"Touya, are you going out again...?"
Fujitaka Kinomoto looked over his shoulder as he was cooking to see his eldest son put on his shoes.
"Yeah dad." Touya replied flatly, walking towards the door.
"I thought most of your part-time jobs are done already...?"
"They are...I'm just going to visit a friend..."
"Is Yukito going...?"
"Nah. Just me."
Up on the stairs, Sakura heard the conversation.
"Where's Touya going...?" She asked Keroberos, who was next to her.
"Let's follow him."
Seto, Ed and Touya had met up on a three way crossroad, the latter two looking at Seto's car.
After looking around to check if there were anyone else, Seto motioned for them to get in, afterwards driving off again.
Behind the cover of a wall, Mokuba and Isono were spying on Seto.
Mokuba watched as Seto let in two complete strangers and drive off with them. "Who're they...?"
He turned to his driver. "Isono, stay here, I'm gonna go see what's going on."
"Yes sir."
At that Mokuba got out of the car, only to bump into Alphonse.
"Sorry..."
"Are you here following your brother too?" Alphonse asked, noticing Seto's car disappear from view.
Mokuba nodded, surprised at Alphonse's remark.
Just then, Sakura ran up to them, with Keroberos in tow.
"Did you see my big brother come by this way?"
"Yeah." The two boys replied. "He took off with our big brothers."
Sakura gasped. "You guys too?"
"Let's go!" They said in unison.
Seto pulled up in front of a gigantic building, with a massive field behind it wit everything from pools to tennis courts in it. In front was a large gate with an insignia in the center.
The insignia was of a single drop of blood with a ribbon curling under it.
As they drove up, an electronic voice came over a nearby speaker.
"Please state your name in Japanese order."
"Kaiba, Seto."
"Elric, Edward."
"Kinomoto, Touya."
A few buzzes, and clicks, and the gates opened. "Entry Accepted."
The occupants of the car drove up promptly, the gates closing just as Mokuba, Alphonse and Sarkura ran up to them.
"What is this place...?" Alphonse asked, looking through the gates.
"Dunno..." Mokuba looked at the insignia. "Looks like some sort of club."
Then, the electronic voice came on again.
"Please state your name in Japanese order."
The three looked to each other, and shrugged.
"Kaiba, Mokuba."
"Elric, Alphonse."
"Kinomoto, Sakura."
After a few moments, the voice came back.
"Entry to the Order of the First Blood Denied."
The three kids looked down disappointed.
Meanwhile, Inside the Order's main hall, The three older siblings were sitting around in a lounge, enjoying steaming mugs of hot cocoa when a loud buzzing rang through the room.
"Looks like some of the little ones were trying to get in." Touya remarked, taking a sip. "That thing you made was a stroke of Genius Kaiba."
"Thanks." Seto looked at the monitor showing the gates to see Mokuba, Sakura and Alphonse. "Looks like we had spies..."
Touya and Ed looked at the screen aw well. The latter growling. "Al, you sneak!"
"Ed, are you sure you're not related to Jonouchi...?" Seto asked.
"Someone mention me?"
Katsuya Jonouchi walked up with a cup of cocoa and a bag of marshmallows and sat down next to Touya. he glanced at the monitor and snickered. "Looks like the spies' trail got cold."
"Yep." Touya said, nodding and taking a marshmallow. "When will they learn that we can't always be there for them...?"
"Yeah. Of course we love them, but we do need space sometimes..." Ed quoted. "Anyone with me...?"
"Hell yeah!" The other three cheered.
Just then, Itachi Uchiha walked up to the couch where they were sitting on. "Got room?" he asked.
Ed and Seto moved over to let him sit.
"Any new attempted assassinations by Sasuke?" Ed asked.
"Yep. One time I found poison in my morning tea, then I almost got mauled to death by a bulldog, then on my way here, I got chased by hired mugs."
"What is up with that anyway...?" Jou asked. "Your own little bro trying to kill you..."
"Long story."
"Anyway, you're safe now. No little sib can get into these walls."
At that, Sesshomaru walked past. "As one of the founding members of the Order of the First Blood, I have made this place a safe haven for--"
He was cut off by the occupants of the couch. "We know, we know!" They said as one. "This place can only be occupied by the first born child of any family, regardless of social status and position, and is protected from outside judgement and redicule, with the price of its utmost secrecy."
Sesshomarru looked deterred, but then turned to one of fear. "It scares me that you can pull that off."
With that he walked off.
Itachi looked at Ed and his brow furrowed. "If that's true, how'd they let a kid in here...?"
Edward's notoriously short temper blew its fuse again.
"Who are you calling a kid so young that you wonder why he's not wearing diapers?!" He roared, attracting the attention of everyone around.
"Cool it Ed." Touya said, pushing Edward Down into his head. "Ed's got issues with Milk, so don't call him anything regarding his height."
Itashi made a face. "What is wrong with milk...It's actually good for you."
Ed pouted. "I am not drinking cow juice."
Seto stood up and moved towards a corridor.
"Anyone up for a game of basketball...?" He asked.
Ed glared at the brunet executive. "Oh sure...basketball, where height is a vital factor...very nice..."
The rest just laughed.
