Alphonse woke up after being carried to the Konoha Hosital by a bunch of med-nins Sakura and Hinata got their hands on. His head hurt, causing him to bring his hand to his forehead. Suddenly, he realized something; his head hurt! He looked at his fleshy hands, and then felt his humanoid head. No metal, just skin.
"Brother!" He yelled, jumping out of the hospital bed. His feet hit the cold floor, causing him to flinch, but he smiled because he was actually feeling again, and this was almost the greatest thing that could possibly happen at this point.
He came out from the privacy curtains and opened the one in front of him, finding his unconscious brother. "Edward! Ed! Wake up!" He squeaked, shaking his brother into consciousness.
"Go away Al, I'm cooking bacon…"
"But, Nii-san! Look! I'm fleshy! Get up!"
Catching his brother's attention, Al stepped backwards as his brother rolled over and opened his eyes. "…Al?" He asked, still a little groggy. Then, his brain finally turned on. "Alphonse! You're not a suit of armor!" He yelled, jumping out of bed and examining his little brother. "How- What- You're-"
"I know, isn't is great?! But, your arm and leg are still…" Ed looked at his auto-mail and realized he was right.
"I guess so. Well, no big deal. The big deal is you! You're back!" Al smiled and giggled.
"What is going on here?" Someone asked, pulling out the curtain to see where the noise was coming from. The boys looked up and, even though they never really pay much attention to this- ever-, they were astounded at this woman's bust size.
"Good, you boys are awake. That means we can start the interrogation. Have a seat." The boys sat down on the bed facing her as she grabbed the chair by the nightstand. "Who are you boys?"
"I'm Edward Elric and this is my younger brother Alphonse Elric. Who are you?"
"I will be asking the questions for now. Next; where are you boys from?"
The boys looked at each other and suddenly remembered the swirling purple light they saw before blacking out. "Where are we?" Alphonse asked, eyeing the woman with some suspicion.
"I asked you first." She said, not answering the question.
"Good, then you can answer first." Ed said bent on not giving information that could potentially put them in danger.
"What did you just say to me, boy?" She asked, getting irritated.
"Please forgive my brother," Alphonse apologized, "but I think you should tell us where we are, so we know we're not in any trouble."
Tsunade thought for a moment, and then realized the boy had somewhat of a point. "-Sigh- fine. My name is Lady Tsunade and I am the leader of Konoha."
"Alright, Lady Tsunade." Edward continued. "Why did you bring us here?"
"Oh, I didn't bring you here. A couple of my pupils brought you here. They said you came out of thin air, interrupting their training. So, how did you get here? From what the girls described, that's not a jutsu any of us have ever heard of."
Alphonse gave her a confused look. "Jutsu?" He asked.
"Yes…? Are you boys ninja? What village are you from?"
"Ed and I are from Resembool in Amestris. Are we in Xing?" Alphonse questioned.
She mirrored that confused look and shook her head.
"I've never heard of any of those places." Tsunade pointed out. "What planet are you from?"
Al giggled a little, but stopped when his brother flashed him a mean look.
"Anyway, you boys aren't here to destroy our village, are you? Because then I'd have to kill you right here."
"Oh, we're not, ma'am." Alphonse assured her. "We just kind of… wound up here on accident."
She nodded. "Alright, I'll take your word for it, but in any case, you boys need to be watched. Shizune!" She yelled, facing the curtain. Seconds later a young looking woman with black hair followed a pig with pearls on its neck came in.
"Hai, Tsunade-sama." She said, bowing.
"Will you take these boys to get their clothes? Then, make arrangements for them to stay at one of the motels. These boys will be staying with us for a bit."
"Yes madam. But, what about the other two these two came with?" She asked.
"I'll check on them myself. Now, go."
Shizune left with the brothers while Tsunade went to check on the other visitors.
"So, are you boys feeling okay?" Shizune asked.
"We're fine, thank you, ma'am." Alphonse said, feeling a draft from the hospital gown. He then looked at his brother and realized he wasn't wearing one; he was wearing his boxers and his tee shirt.
"Nii-san? Why am I the only one wearing this?" Ed thought for a second and was about to answer when their guide interrupted him.
"Here you go: pants, coat, red cloak and boots. I don't see anything left for you; just the girl's things and that big guy-"
"Actually, Shizune-sama, one of the boys we brought in wasn't wearing anything." Noted a passing med-nin. Al blushed and quickly looked at his brother, panic-stricken.
"That makes sense." Ed pointed out. "Technically you weren't wearing any clothes as a suit of armor, except for the loin cloth, but that came with the suit…"
"Suit of armor?" Shizune questioned.
"Long story; anyway, do you by any chance have any spare clothes my brother could borrow? Or he could just streak through your village…"
"Nii-san!" Alphonse squeaked.
"Or you could wear that until we get you some clothes!"
"Hold on a second!" Shizune interrupted. "Yes, we have some plain white tee shirts and a pair of khaki shorts you could borrow for the time being. We also have some standard issue ninja sandals, but you can keep those."
"He has to give back a shirt and shorts, but can keep the shoes? That seems odd to me..." Edward pointed out.
"Silence! Anyway, here you go young man." She said handing him his temporary outfit she got out of the closet. He thanked her and went to the restroom to change, escorted by the med-nin.
Tsunade entered the other patient's room and found the beds empty. She was about to approach the beds when she felt a presence behind her. Tsunade spun around, grabbed his arm and threw him to the ground, cracking the floor. Suddenly, a little girl came at her with a flying kick, but she grabbed the girl and restrained her arms. "What is wrong with you two?!" She yelled as the girl squirmed, trying to release herself from the strong woman's grip.
All of a sudden, a small black and white creature with stubby legs emerged from the girl's top and bit Tsunade in the arm; the pain didn't even faze her. "What are you doing?" She asked the growling creature, staring at it straight in the eye.
The man got up from the ground and went into defensive mode. "I'm not going to hurt you, sir, please, just calm down!" Tsunade demanded, trying to keep the struggling girl steady.
"Where are we?" He demanded in a stern, raspy voice.
"You're in the Konoha Hospital. I don't know how you and your friends got here, but you'll be staying here until we get things straightened out."
Scar relaxed a little and Mei Chan stopped squirming, so Tsunade let her go.
"Now, both of you have a seat." She instructed as Mei removed her furry comrade from the woman's arm. "Now, I'm guessing from how the boys from your group reacted, you two aren't going to tell me much, either. Then let me tell you what I can." Mei Chan and Scar listened intently as she continued.
"I'll start by introducing myself. I am Lady Tsunade, the Hokage, or leader, of this village. We are a peaceful nation in the Fire Country, and we mean no harm to any of our visitors. But, let me warn you that if you decide to cross us, you won't survive. This village is filled with Ninja and some of them have lots of time on their hands, so I'll be assigning one to watch over each of you while you're staying with us. Understood?"
They both nodded in agreement. It's only natural strange people from possible other dimensions would seem suspicious.
"Now that I've introduced myself, why don't you at least tell me your names?" The two looked at each other for a moment, and then the girl began.
"My name is Mei Chan, and this is my comrade, Xiao Mei."
Tsunade smiled. "What a cute kitty."
Mei frowned. "She's a panda."
"But she's so…"
The young girl sighed. "It's a growth defect!" As she said that, Xiao Mei growled at the woman.
"Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to offend you; either of you." She turned to the tan-skinned man. "And you?"
He examined her for a moment before speaking. "I don't have a name… but you can call me Scar…"
She nodded. "Alright! I think we're getting somewhere. Now, let's go get you two your clothes and get you someplace to stay." They all stood simultaneously and filed out the room.
"Now, I'm sure that since you're from another place your currency is different. We'll do what we can to get it exchanged." After saying that, Tsunade opened the closet door containing their clothes. She pulled out the two boxes and handed them to the two; she pointed down the hall to the restrooms.
