Prologue: Everything Leading Up To This
-A little over a year ago-
Tsuna looked around. This wasn't his usual dream. His usual dreams consisted of him and a certain short orange haired girl doing various things together like walking down the shore of the beach or going to the park or taking a romantic camping trip.
But this dream was completely different.
"It's so dark." He couldn't see anything.
Tsuna was standing on nothing and everything around him was black.
"There's no floor and I'm not falling so...how am I standing?"
"Kufufufu. That depends, how do you know if you're falling or not?"
A chill went down Tsuna's spine as he turned around. At least, he thought he turned around since he couldn't tell if he was actually walking. He almost screamed when a tall teenager appeared in front of him. Tsuna stared at the boy weirdly.
The boy raised an eyebrow. "What's the problem?"
The problem? "Y-you're upside down." For some reason the other teenager made him feel nervous.
"Upside down? But I'm the one standing on the floor."
Tsuna looked "up" to see the other teenager standing on something that looked like a floor unlike himself who hadn't seen anything underneath his own feet. And then he fell. Hard.
He had expected the floor to be soft and almost expected to fall through it when he saw that the floor looked like fogged up glass. But all he ended up getting was a bruise on his arm from trying to cushion his fall.
"Kufufu."
Tsuna inwardly glared at the other boy because he was too scared to physically show it because he might anger the scary teenager. But as he looked at the other boy, he noticed his oddly styled hair which oddly resembled the shape of a pineapple...
"So how did you get here? You don't look like the type who would go to Hell."
The comment disturbed Tsuna more than just a little bit and snapped him back into the reality of his situation. "Um." This isn't exactly how I pictured Hell to look like. "I-I don't know exactly...Isn't this just a dream?"
The other boy smirked and then shrugged.
"This place....it feels weird..." Tsuna looked around. This place gave him an eerie feeling just to stand here.
"Wha-what are you two... doing inside the Gate?" The voice sounded like it was struggling to breathe.
The pineapple headed boy turned quickly and Tsuna tried to follow the other's actions.
For the first time since Tsuna had met the boy, he saw his eyes filled with some sort of shock. Tsuna looked in the direction of where the other boy was looking and his eyes widened with shock and horror as well. Sitting against the side of a giant door was another boy. Tsuna wondered how he hadn't noticed the door before, but that thought was quickly overshadowed by the sight before him. The boy's golden blonde hair fell in front of his face so he couldn't see it but the rest of his body was clearly visible.
The boy's clothes seemed like they were close to falling apart. Especially from a large wound in his chest seeping blood onto the rest of his body. Blood was also seeping from the boy's right arm and left leg. And that was when Tsuna realized that the reason they were bleeding was because there was nothing there.
Tsuna immediately ran over to the boy and knelt down. "A-are you okay?!"
The boy slowly turned his head which caused some of his hair to part so Tsuna could at least see part of his face. Some blood was dripping down his mouth and he looked like he had been beaten around with a bat. The boy blinked slowly. Strangely enough, the boy's eyes were also gold, but they also scared Tsuna. There seemed to be no light in those eyes. Like the eyes of someone who had died.
"Are you okay?!" Tsuna repeated getting so worried that tears started to appear in his eyes.
"Al...phonse? Is that you?
Tsuna's face relaxed a little when he realized the boy could at least talk.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not Alphonse."
"W-why are you inside the Gate?"
"You shouldn't be worrying about that. You're hurt and we need to get you out of here."
"Don't worry, he technically can't die in here He'll only age and then he'll die."
The blonde boy looked up and Tsuna and the other boy followed. Tsuna gasped when he saw a white silhouette grinning maliciously at them. "Hello there. I was only expecting to see the kid down there. Are you two here to pay a toll to the Gate as well?"
"St-stop. Don't involve them." Tsuna could see the boy was struggling very hard to breathe and keep his balance as he attempted to stand up on one leg.
"Don't try to
stand! You'll just hurt yourself even more."
The silhouette's
grin grew wider if that was possible. "Yes, you're just pathetic
aren't you? Right, Edward Elric?"
At this, Tsuna snapped his head in the direction of the silhouette. "He's not pathetic."
The silhouette seemed to laugh at the statement. "What would you know? You've only just met him."
Tsuna's face darkened, making his expression unreadable until he looked up with anger and understanding in his eyes. "Because I know that I'm more pathetic than him!"
The other two life forms were silent. Tsuna stared at the silhouette angrily for part of that time. Then he realized something. The silhouette had an actual arm and leg where Edward was missing his.
He turned back to
the dying boy on the ground. "Your name is Edward-san, right?
Please! You have to get up! I might have only met you a few minutes
ago, but I just know you aren't pathetic! I know you're strong!
Only someone that strong could withstand these injuries!"
Tears started to flow freely down Tsuna's face as he gently shook
Edward's limp body. "Please!"
"Edward." He had almost completely forgotten the other boy until he heard his voice. Surprisingly, the boy's face was practically wiped of any smugness it earlier held. "Do you wish to die here? Without seeing this Alphonse?"
Tsuna's eyes widened as what he thought were limbs began materializing. But when he looked t Edward's hand, it was completely metal. The wound in his chest began closing as well.
"Bastard Gate, I don't care about my limbs." Edward slowly began to stand up. "You can keep them." The light had returned to his eyes. "But I am getting out of here!"
Tsuna smiled and the boy smirked.
But as the spiky brown haired boy gave a sigh of relief, he noticed is entire body was disappearing. "AH! What's happening?!"
Edward looked too and became even angrier. "Why is he disappearing?! He doesn't have to pay a toll!"
The silhouette shrugged. "He's not paying a toll. He's just waking up."
Tsuna's jaw dropped. "This is a dream?!"
"This isn't a dream. You're just inside the Gate while your physical body is sleeping."
"I think that's considered dreaming…"
"So, I guess this is thee last time I see you, even though we've just met."
Tsuna
turned to Edward. "Edward-san, I know you've been through a lot
by just looking at you. I hope you find this Alphonse
person."
"Yeah, I hope so too.
Tsuna smiled. "Well,
you've got two legs now. At least you can walk forward again."
Edward blinked and then smiled back. But his was more of reminiscence. "You know, I used to say the exact same thing."
A second later, Tsuna's entire body was gone and silence fell for a few moments. Edward looked around awkwardly.
"Sooo, who are you and… why were you two inside the Gate again?" he asked trying to break the silence.
"Kufufu, you may call me Mukuro. Your name is Edward, is it not?"
"Um…" This guy has a really creepy laugh… "Most people just call me Ed."
"Kufufu, alright Edward Elric."
He's using my full name anyway!? And what's with his eyes? AND HIS HAIR…
"Do you wish to leave the Gate, Edward Elric?"
Ed snapped back into reality when he heard the question. "I just want to find Alphonse."
Mukuro smirked. "I will get you out of here then." Ed was about to hug the teenager when he was interrupted. "If you agree to willingly accept a contract."
He stared at the boy confusedly.
"Gate," Mukuro stated, turning to the silhouette, "If I make a contract with him inside here, our souls will become connected and he'll be able to leave. That's true, is it not?"
The silhouette grinned again. "I guess a contract would count as a toll to pass through, but it's up to him."
Ed smirked. "This is Equivalent Exchange, then?" He looked at Mukuro determinedly. "I'll accept the contract."
"Kufufufu. Stay right where you are, Edward Elric."
Ed's eyes widened as a trident-like weapon materialized in Mukuro's hand. "Um, on second thought I think I'll find another way out…" he said nervously.
"Relax, this won't hurt…much."
Mukuro stepped closer and raised the weapon while Ed shut his eyes expecting to feel another stab. Suddenly, he felt something slide past his face.
"Ow!"
"That's it."
Ed opened his eyes. He placed a hand on his chest but didn't feel anything. Something dripped onto his sleeve. He looked down but couldn't really see anything. Then he realized what had dripped onto his sleeve was blood and had now blended in with his red jacket. Ed traced his flesh fingers along a single cut on his cheek. Another drop of blood fell from it.
"That's it?"
Mukuro nodded. "That's it."
Ed sighed with relief.
"Kufufufu. It's time to leave now. Are you coming, Edward Elric?" he asked holding out his hand.
"Um, I guess…" He walked uncertainly up to where the other boy was standing a few feet away from him. "So...what now?"
"Take my hand." Ed was thinking about how audacious the boy was when Mukuro took Ed's unsuspecting hand.
All of a sudden, it was as if a tornado started whirring around the two.
Something flashed in Mukuro's red eye and he smiled innocently. "I look forward to one day possessing your body, Edward Elric. Until then, please try to draw out any hidden power you may still have."
Ed's jaw dropped. I really don't think I should have trusted this guy...
"Arrivederci, Edward Elric."
The whirlwind stopped and the two were gone. The silhouette watched until they were gone. "Good luck."
On that day, a little over a year ago, many strange things happened. One of those strange things being that on that day, seven specific infants' pacifiers began to glow.
A baby wearing a suit and fedora looked up from the bar stool he sat on. "Hm, but I don't see anyone else here.
"I wonder what happened, kura." A baby wearing army clothes looked up from polishing his gun.
A baby in a black hood and cloak (?) looked at his pacifier as it glowed brightly. "But the chains should stop something like this from happening..."
"Tsu-kun! Wake up! You're going to be late for school!"
"Ugh, that was on of the weirdest dreams I've ever had." Tsuna scratched his head. "But I can't even remember what it was about..."
Mukuro woke up, his red eye flashing. "Edward Elric. Very interesting."
That night, when Edward Elric opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the unfamiliar sight of sakura trees.
-A little over a year later-
"Tsu-kun! Wake up! You're going to be late for school!"
"Ah!" Tsuna tried to move but ended up falling out of bed. "Ow, that hurt...," he muttered as he rubbed his head but was suddenly knocked back to the ground by a tiny foot.
"No-good Tsuna, hurry up and get ready for school."
"But I'll be late even if I hurry..."
Reborn smirked and held up a gun. "You'll just have to get there with your dying will."
Tsuna's eyes widened and a shot rang out. He fell to the ground. A second later he was back on his feet but all his clothes had ripped off.
"REBORN! I'LL GET TO SCHOOL WITH MY DYING WILL!"
And Tsuna ran out of the house leaving his bag and clothes behind.
"Have a good day Tsu-kun!" his mother yelled to him as he ran down the street.
Tsuna turned a corner and passed a silver haired boy and a dark haired boy.
"Go Tenth!"
"See you at school Tsuna!"
Gokudera glared at Yamamoto. "Why are you speaking so familiarly with the Tenth?"
"Calm down, we're all friends aren't we?"
Tsuna on the other hand kept running without stopping for anything including when he almost knocked over a girl with long blonde hair, glasses, and gold eyes wearing a long brown jacket.
But it turned out if you looked closer, the person wasn't a girl. The way his hair came down just made it seem that way.
Edward Elric blinked as person ran by, creating a strong wind that blew his hair and the free parts of his clothes in the direction the person had been running. He pushed up his glasses. "I wonder who that could have been." Ed watched as the person ran down the street with a cloud of dust following him.
"Oh well, I have to get to work. I'm behind schedule anyway." Ed walked in the opposite way down the street whistling a sad tune.

Um, you can think of the sad tune as Brothers from Fullmetal Alchemist....
SOOOOOOoooo....How'd ya like it? UUUUUuuuummmm, so let me clear up some stuff that might have you confused later. I'm using the manga a little bit so you know how the Nezu guy was in the earlier chapters of the manga...If you don't know, he's the guy who falsified his school records and got fired and the time capsule and Gokudera and Tsuna were gonna get expelled...I don't like him but just so you know, I'm using that part of the manga and putting it in the beginning..... That didn't make sense....
Hmmmm....How could I explain it.... Okay, so the school expulsion thing happens before Tsuna meets Yamamoto (In the manga but it's gonna be like that in here too).... After that the storyline is mostly that of the anime...
Ummm....And before I leave, this story is mostly supposed to be FMA X KHR but there's also gonna be other crossover arks....Or I might make it that they all have to do with the story but FMA is the main one...... I'll figure that out later....
So tell me what you think by pressing the button at the bottom of the page. LOOK AT IT. IT'S SO BIG AND BOX-LIKE. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO PRESS IT. ....You don't have to do it if you don't want to...But it makes me very happy :-)
Tyki: Are you still bothering people?
Arielle: ....But I don't like flames. Those hurt. I prefer criticism.
