Authors note: Hello. This is my first story I have ever wrote in . :) I'm sorry if there are any spelling mistakes, or anything like that, and if there are, please don't judge me :) I've tried my best so there wouldn't be any. Please enjoy :)

Disclaimer: No, I don't own Fullmetal alchemist or Naruto, nor the characters in the story.

(The first part is a flashback of a few years before Sasuke left Konoha. The story itself is based on Naruto shippuden, not the Naruto series)

"Owww, my back!" Naruto shouted as he fell to the ground. The tree where he had been hiding seemed to be very old and Naruto should've noticed it right away, and not hide on it's weak branches. And beacuse of that mistake, his 'target', Sasuke, noticed him immediately at the moment the branches cracked, and threw a shuriken towards Naruto.

Naruto got scared and got up to his feet just in time to avoid the sharp, flying star. He could hear it fly just one centimetre away from his right ear, and then disappear into the distance. Naruto got away from his shock, drew a knife from his pocket and then ran yelling towards Sasuke. As Naruto tried to hit Sasuke to his shoulder, Sasuke just simply avoided the attack, and grabbed Naruto's wrist.

He twisted it and made Naruto curse through gritted teeth. Sasuke grinned slightly as he looked down at Naruto in pride, as he thought he had won. Then he got startled as he found Naruto grinning too. Naruto didn't resist anymore. "Hahah... Did you really think you could get me this easily?" Naruto asked. The wrist in Sasukes grip turned into a cloud of smoke, as well as the rest of Naruto's body.

"A shadow clone?" Sasuke thougt. He looked nervously around the area, but couldn't see his opponet. "He is good at hiding... That coward..." He murmured.

After a few minutes had passed, he almost thought that Naruto had escaped. No... He couldn't have... I would've heard or sensed it. I have to concentrate... He closed his eyes and made a seal with his hands. Then he opened his now red eyes again. "Sharingan!" Sasuke scanned through the area with his eyes, that were now able to see even the smallest movement. He stood there silently, clearing the area with his Sharingan.

For a while, there was a complete silence. Sasuke drew silently a knife from his pocket and hold it tightly in his hand.

He was distracted by a small bird flying from the woods and almost threw it with the knife.

That would've been bad, for he had only two knives left. Sasuke took a deep breath. "Concentrate... Concentrate!"

Then his eyes fixed on a small twitch in a bush near an old oak. "There!" He then again threw a knife towards the bush, waiting for it to hit.

Then there was a clang of metal, and quickly after that, Naruto jumping from the bush. Before Sasuke could react, Naruto made a quick seal with his fingers. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Then suddenly, two other Naruto appeared to his sides, and ran towards Sasuke yelling as loud as they could. Sasuke only grinned. "Tsk! Like that would stop me."

When the three Naruto threw the knives they were holding towardw Sasuke, he simply took a few steps, and danced away from them.

Then he quickly drew a small knife from his backpocket and threw it right towards the real Naruto. The teo shadow clones disappeared from his sides in a puff. The knife was heading straight towards Naruto's head. "This is it..." Naruto thought. "This is the end of me... I have so much things to do... I can't die here! I haven't even confessed my love to Sakura!"

The knife was just about to hit, until a quick hand catched it. Their teacher, Kakashi Hatake was standing in front of them, like he had appeared from nowhere. Naruto and Sasuke were both amazed by their teacher's extreme speed and reflexs', that made it possible to move faster than the eye could see, even though he was reading a book while doing it.

After Naruto had got through the 'wow', he looked at their teacher.

"Why did you stop the match? I would've won!"

Kakashi looked up from his book, and didn't look pleased. "You almost won? Well, if you consider dying as winning, then you really are right", he snapped. "You really don't know when to stop, do you?" "But..." Naruto started. Kakashi shot a warning glance at him with his visible eye, telling him to shut it. "And now then, Sasuke...", he said turning to his other apprentice. Sasuke was shivering a bit when their teacher looked at him. He thought he was a goner, until Kakshi patted him on the head. "You could be more careful in exercises. Aiming at someone's head with a knife can make quite a damage. Understand? Hm?"

Sasuke just stared at their teacher and nodded slightly. Naruto was pissed. Kakashi wasn't even angry to Sasuke even though he knew very well that Naruto could've died from that attack, if Kakashi wouldn't have come to stop it. It would've been a certain death.

Then Kakashi smiled l, if you could say so because the bottom half of his face was covered by a mask, and continued reading his book. Then just as he was about to turn into another page he stopped like he had remembered something very important. Then he raised his eye from the book and looked at his students. "I think we should call it for an end of today's training. I can see you two are compeletly exhausted, and need to rest. See you tomorrow, and remember to wake up on time."

Naruto rolled his eyes. Even if we would wake up early, their teacher would still be late... Naruto thought.

Then Kakashi closed his book and made a seal with his hands. "Well, I'll be going then... Oh, and for a punishment of trying to hurt each other seriously, you'll have to run 20 laps around the court at the school yard." And with that, he disappeared into the darkening evening.

Meanwhile in Amestris

"Hey, Al!" Edward shouted, as he finished the book he had been reading. "Would you bring me the book with the orange covers? There's some information I would need from it." His voice echoed for a while in the empty library, but quickly after that he heard heavy footsteps coming towards him. Soon a big suit of armor appeared from behind a bookself, carrying a box full of old books.

"Sorry, brother, I couldn't find the book you were looking for, so I brought the whole box, if that's okay." His little brother apologised. Ed nodded for thanks, and started to look for the orange book amongst the many precious others.

After a while of searching, he found a few intresting books, but not the one he was looking for. "Al! The book isn't in the box. Have you got any idea where it might be?" Alphonse shook his head. "But... I'm pretty sure I saw it there... Let me take a quick look." The armor started to take books out of the box and read every one of their names, then put books into piles.

He still couldn't find the orange book. The orange covered one had a weird animal on it's cover, which looked like a monstrous fox.

Edward sighed loudly. "Well, whatever", he said " The book is not that important. Besides, I've found some other pretty interesting books that contain some of the imformation from the orange book. Al, I think we should now go to the apartment. It's already 2:34 AM, and I have to sleep a bit, before I start to read these books." Alphonse nodded slightly, and put the box back to the place where he had found it. He put the interesting books into the bag they had been carrying, and then placed the bag inside his armor. As they closed the library, and hid the keys in a nearby bush, Al noticed that his brother was still holding a book in his right metal-hand. "Brother..." He said. "You don't have to carry that. I could take it-" " No, no, it's fine." His brother interrupted. "I can carry it home, it's not a big deal... I... Just... Uh, it's nothing..." Al looked a little startled. "Um, ok, brother. If you say so." As they walked across the street in front of the library, Ed started to feel sick and dizzy.

He fell down, and would've hit his head, if Al wouldn't have catched him in time. "I don't feel very good..." Ed said. "I... I... I think that... I... I... I'm gonna sleep now. Good night!" And with that Ed lost his concicouness, and fell to the world of sleep. Al shook his head. "I told you we should've left earlier when it was eight o'clock... Stupid brother." He laughed a bit and then carried his brother to their apartment.

Ed shouldn't have taken that book. He could feel that taking the book, and opening it would only brong bad luck. When he had opened the book, the first thing he had noticed was, that the content was written in a completly different language. It clearly wasn't Amestrian language, and had some weird marks on the pages. He first thought it was Xingese, but when he looked more closely, he noticed a few differences in the two.

For example, numbers in Xingese were always, always, written in Xingese letters, but in the other language, the numbers weren't written in letters, and Ed couldn't help but think about it. The way the numbers were written in the corner of the orange book's pages, made them look like calendar dates, and that disturbed Edward a lot. After he had lost conciouness, he had had a vision about an idiotic looking boy in an orange jumpsuit.

First he thought he was having a horrible nightmare, but after a while he realised that the boy wasn't that scary, and had bright eyes.

The boy was probably a few, three years younger than Ed, and had spiky hair, and blue eyes. In the vision the boy was throwing very old designed knives at an old wooden log. He had a weird pink-haired girl with him, and she was looking very angry. The girl said something to the blonde boy, and then knocked him on the head. Suddenly the vision started to get blur and dark. Ed realised he was about to wake up and tried to stir his eyes to fix the sight a bit and succeeded in it. He pressed the image of the boy and the girl in his mind and closed his eyes.

Then he felt a bright light shine through his heavy eyelids.

Ed opened his eyes slowly and sat up. His eyes fixed on his brother, who was sitting beside his bed. His brother seemed to notice him right away, and raised his eyes from a book he was reading. "Brother! You're finally awake!" Ed rubbed his eyes and stretched. "How long have I slept?" He yawned.

Alphonse seemed to think about how much time it had been, but then just shrugged. "I'm sorry brother. I didn't look what time it was when you went to sleep, but if I should recall, I would say you lost your concicouness about at 3:00 AM yesterday and according to the time now , I would say you've slept about one day, but I-" "I SLEPT A WHOLE DAY?" Ed shouted in shock. He couldn't have! It had felt like only an hour! But really... One day?! Are you serious? And then, suddenly, something very important came to his mind. He started to tremble from feet to the top of his head. Ed had wholly forgot his meeting with Colonel Mustang and King Bradley at the council house. The meeting was supposed to start at 14:35 and when he slowly turned his head to look at the clock, Ed saw that he had only one hour of time to get to the council house.

He turned to face his brother again and rose from the bed, up to his feet. Edward's feet were shaking, and he had a very hard time standing up.

Then suddenly he started to see many small stars in his eyes, and would've lost his conciouness, again, when he would've hit his head to the floor, if, again, Al wouldn't have caught him. Al helped him to sit on a chair, near the bed. Ed took a deep breath to calm himself down. Ok, he thought. There's no need to panic. I'll be at the meeting on time. I'll just have to hurry a bit. What's the worst thing that could happen anyways... Besides Colonel burning me into ashes.

Ed took a deep breath, closed his eyes and then opened them again.

He looked at Alphonse. "Al, would you quickly bring me my clothes and bag. I'm in a hurry." Al took a few steps towards the door. "The meeting with Colonel and Bradley?" The suit of armor asked. At first, Ed was startled, but after the moment of confuseness mixed with anger, and made Edward pissed. "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?!" He raged. His littlebrother sighed. "But I tried, brother. At first, I thought I shouldn't wake you up, but after about nine hours listening to your snoring almost drove me crazy. I tried everything to wake you up, and almost threw a bucket of water on your face, but then you woke up." Edward then noticed the small bucket filled with icy water next to his bed.

So his brother wasn't lying... No... How could he even think about Alphonse lying? My head has to be still a bit dizzy from yesterday... He thought. His little brother noticed Ed was in his thoughts and quickly went to fetch Edward's clothes and bag, like he had been told to.

After Ed had quickly changed his clothing, he put his stuff to his bag. Al glanced at Ed and frowned. "Brother... Why are you filling your bag with your stuff?" Al asked. His brother snorted. "Well, what else do bags do exept keep stuff inside them? And besides, I have a bad feeling about this day... That I won't be seeing this apartment or many of my friends very soon."

And at that moment, the room's windows exploded.

Naruto was ready to sleep anywhere. He was completly exhausted, and his feet felt like they were made of melted plastic. They were wobbly, and it was hard for him to stand, so he decided to go straight home.

He had just returned from a mission.

Sakura, him, Sai and Captain Yamato ahd been sent for a mission to locate one of Orochimaru's hideouts. Naruto and Sakura had been hoping that they would see Sasuke.

And they had.

Naruto hadn't believed his eyes how strong his former team-mate had become. He hadn't even stood a chance against him. It was really depressing.

As Naruto got to his apartment, he threw himself to his bed, and almost fell asleep. Naruto shook his head to get the sleepiness away, so he could change his clothes, and write to his journal about his day.

As always, he put his sleeping hat on and looked for the journal which was normally right next to his bed. As he looked around the bed, he noticed it wasn't there.

His pencil and eraser were on a table next to a window, alright, but the book itself had just disappeared.

What if someone has stolen it? Naruto thought hysterically. Then he/she will be able to see all of my secrets! I'll be totally a mess if that happens! Well, I quess I can start looking for it tomorrow if I take a break from training...

And with that, Naruto covered himself with his blanket, closed his eyes, and started snoring almost immediately.

Outside Narutos apartment there were two people standing in black cloacks, covered with red clouds. The other one was slightly taller than the other, and was holding a sword, wrapped in bandit. The smaller one had two lines crossing his face under his eyes, and he was holding his left hand outside his cloack

"So he's the one?" The bigger one of the cloacked men asked.

"Yes", the smaller one answered. "His abilities are going to be a great advantage for Akatsuki. Pain will surely reward us for capturing the Nine-tails Jinchuuriki..."

Just as the men were going to break throught the window to the apartment, a very bright blue light flashed at the center of the village, blinding everyone inside a kilometre. The two Akatsuki members blinked and jumped away from Naruto's apatment. "What the hell was that?" The bigger one with the sword asked. The small one kept quiet for a moment. "Not any ninjutsu I know", he answered. "I think we should go take a quick look, before we leave a report to Pain." The two men started dashing towards the source of the light, leaving their mission incomplete. Naruto opened his eyes in surprise. What in the world was that weird light? Maybe he had just dreamed... Yeah, that must be it... Naruto's head sank back to the pillow, and the snoring continued.
