Crimson Eyes Beneath Golden
Chapter 1
"CHIDORI!" Sasuke launched a ball of electricity and chakra toward his brother.
"Tsukuyomi." Itachi said calmly. His Sharingan changed and glared at Sasuke in the eye. Sasuke's eyes went wide and Itachi fell to the ground, bleeding. I guess Sasuke really did make his dream come true…Itachi thought. Our family is now dead, but at least I got to help him finish his dream and see him before I die. He thought faintly as he continued to lose blood. The Uchiha prodigy looked at his brother next to him being tortured under his Tsukuyomi. Sasuke…take care…of his daughter for me...Now…I'll join mother and father too…The young man took one last look at his brother and the girl as Itachi closed his eyes, and let the darkness fill in and take him away.
"BROTHER!" Al screamed as he watched Envy stabbing his brother in the heart. Edward coughed out blood with his golden eyes all wide with shock.
"You bastard…" Ed gasped as he coughed out the blood. The pine tree homunculus grinned maniacally and watched his half brother die in the pool of blood.
(A/n: If you didn't know, Edward and Alphonse are Envy's half brothers. They shared the same father, Hoenheim Elric. Their father was over 400 years old. He married Dante in the anime centuries ago and had Envy as a son. Envy died from mercury poisoning and became a homunculus by Dante. Hoenheim married Trisha later and had Edward and Alphonse.)
Itachi saw the darkness coming and knew almost immediately that this was death. If there is such and place as heaven, will I be there too? Itachi felt that it was silly that he was worrying about such a thing when he had nearly killed dozens of people in his life. Itachi fully opened his eyes to see that there was something in front of him. What is this? The prodigy asked. It was a gate.
"BROTHER!" The armored Elric screamed.
"It's too late. Your brother is dead." Dante said.
"NO! He's alive, his face is still warm. He's still in the gate." Al stood up.
"Wait, what are you doing?" The ex-wife of Hoenheim demanded.
The Elric stood up as the signs on his armor started to glow, "I going to bring Ed back from the gate."
"You can't do that!"
Al ignored her. The signs on the armor glowed even brighter as the boy in the suit of armor used the philosopher's stone, to bring back his only brother.
"Where's mommy!?" Wrath screamed and Gluttony whined, "Where's Lust!?"
The nearly 400 year old lady clutched her fist angrily at the commotion and said angrily, "If I can't stop you, than I'll have someone else do it for me." As she pressed her fingers onto Gluttony's tattoo on his tongue. "I'm sorry Gluttony for doing this." The obese homunculus' eyes glowed and now showed great hunger in his eyes. Envy and Wrath looked at Gluttony nervously as they noticed that the homunculus was different somehow. "Be careful. I transmuted the Ouroboros mark from his tongue. He's nothing but the mindless monster he's truly is." Gluttony looked at Al with his hungry, glowing eyes. Envy ran and tried to prevent fullmetal's brother from reattaching his brother's soul.
"I'm not letting you get away!" He screamed as he ran into the transmutation circle. The circle flashed as brightly as ever and everything disappeared from Envy's and Alphonse's view.
Edward tried desperately to clap his hands as the blimp hit him. Flames surrounded him as he desperately tried again. Come on, work, work! He thought furiously. He suddenly felt himself surrounded by light. It's working… Everything vanished. The gated appeared in front of him. The gate… Ed thought. He saw a glimpse of his brother and the philosopher stone. The young alchemist also saw Wrath hugging his old teacher Izumi as the gate opened. A green haired homunculus was also there.
"Oi, chibi-chan! I guess we're both in the gate." He smiled his usually manically smile at the small alchemist. "I'm going to the gate and kill that old man." Envy said, referring to Hoenheim. The gate opened. What was he thinking?! The homunculus transformed into Ed and said, "Hey! Bring me to Hoenheim!" The things attacked Envy. The black blobs reached to grab Envy. He fell into the mob and said, "Bring me there! I'm his son! Bring me to him! Take me…to that bastard!" He shouted and changed into a dragon and went through the mob into the gate. The gate closed as Ed stared at where the gate was. Everything started to fade away from his view.
"I'm alive?" A certain blond alchemist asked himself. He looked around and found himself back to where he was before. "Roze, where's Al?" He asked the brunette girl next to him. "Roze! Tell me!" He looked at the girl.
Roze looked at Ed and said, "You died. Al used the stone to bring you back to life."
"WHAT!?" The blond boy exclaimed. He looked around once more. Al was gone…He little brother was gone…He stood up and took his shirt off. Roze looked at him in confusion. "I going to bring Al back" he told Roze. Roze stared at him and nodded. There was no use stopping him. Ed was going to bring him back.
Ed looked at the transmutation circle he drew and checked it again to make sure there were no mistakes. I know everything is supposed to be equivalent exchange, but if Dante was right, maybe it will work, Edward thought as he walked into the circle. Ed closed his eyes and placed his two hands on his chest.
Itachi looked at the gate and stared at it. What's a gate doing here of all places? He thought tiredly. The gate opened. The prodigy saw a glimpse of a boy, around ten years old, and a blind of light going through. The Uchiha also saw another boy, but he looked around twelve of thirteen years old. To Itachi's shook, all these blobs of black creatures came out of the gate! The creatures grab and took hold of the eldest Uchiha. Itachi tried to scream, but it was no use. He felt his body tingling, like someone tried to take his soul away from his body. Everything was happening fast when the gate closed again, and everything was black.
Ugh, where am I? Itachi thought as he found himself on the ground. He opened his eyes to see where he was. He looked at his hands and realized that he was alive. I'm…alive… The prodigy slowly stood up. Next to him, he saw the same boy early. The ten year old boy was unconscious like he has been through with a lot of stuff. Itachi was going to see if the boy was all right when he heard someone say…
Hey bastard! What are you thinking you're trying to do with my brother!? Itachi's eyes turned into dots when he heard that. The voice wasn't talking exactly, but he could hear it in his mind.
"Who…are you?" Itachi asked, looking a bit confused.
The voice paused, Well I'm Edward Elric of course! I'm a state alchemist! The fullmetal alchemist!
The Uchiha prodigy looked even more confused than ever. "State…alchemist?"
Yeah, I'm a state alchemist. Don't ignore my question. What are you trying to do with my brother, and what are you doing here in my body?!
"Nothing," Itachi mumbled and thought that this kid was more demanding than Sasuke. "And what do you mean in your body?"
Why don't you look in the mirror? Ed suggested. Itachi looked at the mirror nearby and saw that he wasn't himself anymore. His image has changed entirely. He now had blond hair when he usually had raven hair, and his eyes were no longer crimson, they were gold. Everything seemed to be weird and unnatural now. Itachi Uchiha was now stuck in Edward Elric's body.
