plleaasseee reveiw, even if you hate it. Let me know how you like it -

"Al…. Go ahead… I'll be right behind you." The two brothers stared at The Gate, side-by-side. The elder one knew this gate well… He had seen it before; he knew what was behind its immense stone doors. The gate back to Earth from Amestris, he and his brother could go back.

The taller blonde boy stares over at his brother, "Alphonse… did you not hear me? I told you to go through the gate!" He seemed slightly angered by his brother's hesitation. Even though he was upset, he, himself, was terrified of the gate, he had lost his brother's body in it once before, and his leg and arm were still gone, lost in the very gate before him.

"Brother…" Alphonse's gold eyes showed his hesitation as he glanced over at his brother. At that same instance the huge doors of the gate opened slowly, the elder one lowered his head, but knew those many purple eyes were staring at both him and his younger brother. Their gaze burning his skin, looking at him, but at the same time, right through him.

"I said go!!" He shoved Alphonse into the open blackness of the gate.

"Ed!!" Alphonse yelped as he felt the arms of the black creatures that inhabit the gate grabbing a hold of him to pull him in more quickly. "No! B-Brother!" The younger yelped as the spindly hands grabbed to his torso and head, a moment later the boy disappeared into the darkness. All the eyes closed, and soon faded.

"I'm sorry Al… I had to do it, you wouldn't go." Edward said quietly to himself as the doors shut. "Now it's my turn…" The gates slowly opened once again, but this time, there were no purple eyes staring at Edward with no emotion. There was only the blackness of the gate. Edward's eyes widened as a gust of wind came from the gate blowing his golden-blonde hair and long red cloak behind him. "This is not the-" he was cut off right as many long dark-as-night arms thrust out of the blackness of the gate consuming Edward and pulling him in.

The sun blazed down on the boy as he awoke in the middle of a vast empty field. "Wha? Where?" He sat up lazily staring at his surroundings with half lidded eyes. "This isn't…" Edward jolts up suddenly looking around spastically. "No!! Th-this isn't home! Where the hell am I?!" He ran in a direction for a few yards then stopped turning in another direction and running that way. "Oh god no…" Edward looked around as frantically as he was running. He dropped to his knees in regret. "If this is the place I ended up…. Where did I send Al?" His head drooped downwards tears welling in his eyes for a moment, but he quickly pushed them back. "I-I'm sure Alphonse went through the right door… I swear it!" He screamed in his mind, trying whole-heartedly to convince himself, more than anything.

A small girl popped out of the grass in front of the terrified and now grief-stricken alchemist. The start this caused Edward made him jump to his feet, but soon fumbled to stay upright to no avail, he fell. The little girl smiled down at Edward, her brown eyes shimmering slightly. Ed looked over the girl, she was clad in an orange and yellow kimono decorated in an abstract design, her hair was a dark black that fell to about her shoulders, and there was one little ponytail on the side of her head. This seemed relatively pointless to Ed, but what could he say, the style must be different here. Her dark brown eyes were still fixed on him, and as far as Edward could tell, this girl was not much older than seven or eight years of age.

"So I scared you huh?!" the girl giggled in a cheery tone.

"No…" Edward mumbled sourly. He got to his feet and looked down at the girl. With a false smile he asked, "Uhm… Where exactly are we little girl?"

"Don't call me 'little girl.'" The girl pouted angrily. "I have a name you know."

Ed let out a groan of obvious annoyance, he didn't tolerate children that easily. "I'm quite sorry, and that name is?" He again grumbled trying to keep a false happy face on.

"I'm Rin." The girl giggled again, how quickly her moods changed. "And you don't know where we are? Silly boy, we're in Kyoto, like we've always been!" Rin smiled up at the alchemist.

"K-Kyoto?! Oh God no!!" Edward groaned falling back into the tall blades of grass. "That gate DIDN'T take me home…" He squirmed around some feeling intense remorse. "I screwed up big time this time," his mind reminded him.

"Rin? Who are you speaking with?" A deep, almost cold voice rang out from behind the girl. She quickly turned around and smiled at the tall youkai lord that walked up to them.

"Lord Sesshomaru!" She called running up to him, and wrapping her arms around one of his legs. The tall man, who easily got the small girl off his leg walked up to Edward who was now slightly frightened by him.

"And who is this? A… Friend of yours Rin?" The tall youkai lord looked down at the blonde boy, who was now hiding in the grass. Edward eyes were fixed on his face, which was completely void of emotion. He noticed a deep Prussian blue crescent moon shape on the youkai's forehead. This moon shape was framed with the part of his silver bangs. Going down his face Ed glanced at his golden eyes, which were much like his own, but these showed no emotion, like his face. On his eyelids, there was a maroon-ish color, which appeared to be like an eye shadow. On each of his cheeks, there were two stripes of a similar color to that on his eyelids. His ears were also surprisingly… pointed, something Edward had never seen on someone before. Overall, his face was very clean-cut, quite like a fresh carved marble statue, and it drew in the Fullmetal Alchemist in a way he had never experienced before. Edward's eyes wandered slightly noticing the large white fluff of fur on the man's shoulder. This hung like a boa reaching to his waist in the front and to his knees in the back. His armor was also very… interesting. There was a spiked pauldron over his left shoulder, which was a strong piece of curved metal that went from the top of his cuirass over his shoulder, to his back. It had large spikes going all the way towards his back, these also extended along the top of his black chest plate, also known as cuirass. On his kimono top, under the pauldron, there was a distinct pattern of red honeycombs with small red flowers on the inside of them. The same pattern was on the lower part of his long, white, flowing kimono sleeves. Around the man's waist, there was a large flowing sash of a yellow color. This sash was tied in a bow and near the bottom; there was a purplish-blue color in a curved pattern. There were two sheathed swords on his left hip that which appeared to be held in place by the sash. Under the sash, three more plates that were the same color of his cuirass hung to about mid-thigh. His hakama bellowed out and came to a tight bunch, which were hidden in his black, ankle high, pointed boots.

The youkai noticed the alchemist staring at him so he shifted his body just enough to break the boys blank stare. He quickly asked, "Who are you?"

Edward shook his head, regaining his senses and growled, "What's it to yah?" Ed quickly stumbled to his feet, noticing how short he was compared to this new man. He only came up mid-chest to him. Edward felt quite pathetic at that moment, so he diverted his gaze upon Rin. He was definitely taller than her.

The silver haired man took a grasp on the blade closest to his body with his one hand. At that instant Ed noticed a large part that he had overlooked… The youkaihad only his right hand, the other one was gone… He stared at the kimono sleeve with no hand peeking out of the bottom. 'Is he… Like me?' The alchemist asked his mind, to which only an echoing silence came.

"As I ask.ed… Who are you? I don't think you wish to taste the wrath of my Tenseiga!" The youkai partially unsheathed the blade, which again, snapped Edward out of his daze. He realized the danger of the situation, and quickly responded.

"I am Edward Elric, also known as the Fullmetal Alchemist." He kept his gaze partially downward, on occasion looking at the demon's arm… or lack of one. "I shall ask the same of you, who exactly are you?"

"I am Sesshomaru, youkai lord of the Western Lands." The man said peering down at Edward. There was a flash of something in his eyes, the blonde boy could not read exactly what it was, but he knew it could not be good.
