(-(-Author's Note: This chapter has been redone where there should be no spelling errors of any sort. If you see any at all, please review and advice me about your ideas that could fit in the story. I will put your ideas to consideration. Also, the real third chapter will come soon due to me thinking how the relationship of both Naruto and Olivier will happen.

The first thing that I must point to some of you my fans is that there will be no harems of any sort; I do apologize if you are disappointed. Like I had said before, I'm not really a fan of harems because I don't really see the point in them. I mean I understand Naruto deserves it seeing how he's the whole cool person and the last of his Clan but what is the point if the other characters don't get paired up with them, like Winry and Ed or possibly as Riza and Roy.

Second there will be no Gender Bending, I don't really understand, but you guys like that for some reason, and why you like that I'm not really sure, but I just don't see a Female Edward. I'm okay with Naruto doing it seeing how it was a Jutsu and because it was based off the whole Kitsune myth. And I know the whole Haku scene was strange but Haku was a boy in that and he even said it that he was a boy. This is why I don't really like Gender Bending, it's just too strange.

And thirdly, the pairing was decided and it is a Naruto Curtis and Olivier M. Armstrong pairing (may Izumi herself be proud). Also I realized that Naruto and Riza pairings are a little Cliché due to them being over used and not really serious.

Another time I'll make a Naruto and Riza pairing. So now I've given you the fist Naruto and Olivier pairing. And now that I got the whole thing out of my system here is the Second Redone Chapter, enjoy.-)-)

Alchemy: the reason in understanding Reconstructing, Deconstructing matter. However, it is not an all powerful art, if one wishes to obtain something, something of equal value must be given, this is the law of "Equivalent Exchange" the basis of all Alchemy. In accordance with this law there is a Taboo amongst young alchemist, Human-Transmutation is strictly forbidden, for what could equal the value of a human soul?


...

Izumi Curtis gazed silently toward her resurrected infant as she gently ruffled his short straw blonde colored hair. The feeling of his hair being brushed against her bare palm was like that of fabric silk. Izumi had been constantly brushing her infant's blonde hair as she laid her eyes upon his small slumbering face. It almost seemed impossible for her as she saw the gentle breaths that he took in.

Her son had just been resurrected and he seemed completely healthy, unscathed from the act of the Transmutation (excluding the changes in his facial appearance and hair color).

He was born dead in this world, not having the chance to one breath of this world. But with the power alchemy and committing the greatest taboo that gave alchemy its sinister side, her son was revived and now he seemed normal, as if everything never even happened. Izumi placed her left hand against her lower abdomen as she slowly rubbed her stomach, having a shutter in fear from the remembrance of the entity that proclaimed itself as God or Truth; this had left her to remember what was taken from her. The act of the 'Equivalent Exchange' took away the lower portions of her organs (with the inclusion of her womb).

The thesis of the 'Equivalent Exchange' was to lose something of great value and then the one who sacrificed would gain something with an even amount of value. The value of her 'Equivalent Exchange' was the portion of her organs and womb (the tool that would give her children), and in return she received what she desired. She, the first alchemist ever to have succeeded in creating life, giving a great toll, was rewarded of a human life; the rightful life that belonged to her, her only son. But she knew of the true term that alchemy called him, even if he were her son and was born human, she recreated him into being perfect. The title that dubs him as an Artificial Human made from alchemy: a Homunculus.

Remembering the draconic crimson tattoo that feasted upon its own tail was an unscathed and rightful birthmark that her son wore. The Ouroboros: a truly symbolic mark, being said to represent the circular nature of alchemic transmutations. The image itself was a branded mark that was placed on her son, as if he were cattle that belonged to a person's property.

A grimace was made as Izumi would call herself stupid for attempting the forbidden art of alchemy, but it was well worth it for her. Her son that she and her husband wanted so badly, could finally share their lives together now, a happy family that she so craved. Tears were seen running down her face again. But these tears weren't from sorrow, they were from happiness. She was happy with tears of joy.

Slowly wiping them with her free hand, Izumi t slowly began to trace her fingers against his face, bringing her small blonde child to whimper softly (making her smile as he moved).

Having her fingers trace around his cheeks, she did see and felt the oddities of his new complexion. From the side effect of the transmutation, his once raven black hair had now become a golden blonde coloration; hi owns skin was very pallid, almost as if it were years since he was exposed to direct sunlight. Now having her fingers slowly trace to his cheeks, she felt the roughness of the strange dark lines that were adorn upon each side of his cheeks, being three on each side of his cheeks, counting them, it brought a total of six lines. It was almost as if they were whiskers (whiskered birthmarks in more precise terms). But although, Izumi had yet to see his eyes; could his eyes also have been transmuted into another color?

Such questions were enthralled in her mind as she kept thinking over and over about the transmutation (the transmutation that was five hours ago). She sighed softly as she slowly stood up. Izumi slowly began to rub her head as she felt the massive ache that she endured, closing her eyes (she felt the back of her eyes burn) and slowly reopening them, her eyes softened as she looked at him, she slowly knelt down, leaning forward and slowly kissed her son's forehead "I'll be back, I promise" she whispered as she saw the small smile of bliss on her son's face. Leaving her son's room she silently closed the door behind her.

Izumi made her way toward the kitchen.

Reaching the kitchen she went to the sink and twisted the knob slowly. The sudden rush of cool water was released. Cupping her hands, she placed her hands into the rushing water, gathering the rejuvenating moister and splashed it across her face. This was repeated three times till she soon dried her face off.

Izumi sighed softly once more as she pulled away; rubbing her forehead from the head trauma she suffered. Thinking back five hours ago, she could only think to herself that she was beyond help. She sat within one of the chairs of her small kitchen table. Breathing in softly for the necessary oxygen she needed.

But then the sudden feeling of a coverlet draped over her shoulders, this made her feel somewhat relaxed and somewhat surprised as she slowly looked up, seeing her husband Sig. He held a worried look but she could easily see there was seriousness within his eyes. Izumi knew to herself that she and Sig were going to have a very strong talk about what she did and about their newly resurrected son. She sadly smiled as she knew; she knew she would have to face this ordeal from the transmutation no matter who it was.

Sig had prepared warm tea and gave Izumi her glass. The aroma was very much pleasant too Izumi as she breathed it in softly. Sig sat on the opposite of the table with his own arms crossed.

There was tension.

As they gaze toward each other. Sig was firm as he held his strong arms crossed "I want to know everything that happened Izumi, my concerns with our son is one thing but I want to hear it from you" he was forward to what he said but he awaited for her answer. Izumi had taken a sip from her tea and slowly closed her eyes, she thought deeply. Slowly reopening them she began "I don't know how to explain it, dear. Something happened during the transmutation, something… frightening" she paused as the image of Truth came into her mind with the wide plastering grin of wickedness. Sig was greatly worried by this. To hear Izumi being frightened by something would be the utmost joke that anyone who could possibly think or hear of such things, but from to hear it from his wife that he knew, he was beyond worried about her safety.

He was greatly concern for her.

Izumi was a strong woman, perhaps the strongest that he had ever met. From him knowing full well that she herself had trained a full entire month in the Briggs Mountainous region of Amestris: the harshest place for any person to be in. Any person brave enough or foolish enough would face wolfs and the infamous Briggs Grizzly Bears that stood above a normal sized man. Slowly shaking his own thoughts he stayed quiet and let his beloved wife continue.

Izumi continue "I entered some kind of void; it was desolate where I was the only being there and there was this Gate, or that's what I can mostly describe out it. There wasn't anything behind it; it just floated, leaving only a shadow as it floated within the expansion. Then, when I thought I was alone, there was this thing, it proclaimed itself as Truth―Izumi paused―it caused the Gate to open and something was inside it. An immense eye that daunts at me had appeared where appendages made out darkness within that Gate were beginning to wrap around me, so I tried to escape it but that thing stopped me and forced me into the Gate where I saw…" Izumi stopped as she saw the sudden flash of images forcing its way into her mind as she felt her entire body deconstruct.

Sig notice that she gripped her glass tightly where the sight of her shaking was clearly visible. He stared solemnly "you saw what?" he asked as she stopped shaking "Everything" this was a sudden whisper that seemed more like a silent gasp. "Everything?" he repeated, confused by such an answer. Izumi nodded "when I went inside that Gate I saw everything, absolute knowledge pouring into my mind as I was destructed and reassembled. Then I was taken out of the Gate, I was close in finding out how our son could come back to life but it took me out before I could get that chance. After that, that thing said I had given a toll or rather paid a toll for me gain that knowledge" she stopped again as she gently pressed her hands against her abdomen, Sig felt the unease of Izumi. "That toll cost me a few portions of my lower organs and also my womb".

Sig was shocked and greatly speechless as he gazed toward her. Their chances in having another child were gone and there was nothing they could do about it.

"I'm such an idiot. To go to the lengths of Human-Transmutation and miraculously survive is beyond me" she bitterly said to herself as she pressed her hand against her lower abdomen as she gripped her shirt.

"Izumi" Sig slowly spoke, gaining her attention. "I'm the idiot. I'm your husband; I'm supposed to be there for you. I should've seen this, all those times you spent hours studying more and more alchemy. You sacrificed for the sake of our child. I can't even comprehend the pain you've must've felt when that thing took your organs. It wasn't fair to us that our own son had died during child birth but, you sacrificed so much and I've only become even more useless to know that I couldn't have stopped you from sacrificing" he caught her off guard. Why was he blaming himself? She did the taboo, not him. How could he say it was his fault? Sig was to big heart, he cared so much that he would blame himself for her Human-Transmutation.

Izumi quivered as tears broke again; placing her head against her hands "It's not your fault dear, it's mine. I was the one who transmuted this; I chose to do the unthinkable and tried to resurrect our son, I guess it's God's punishment for trying something so… evil" the proper term to call Human-Transmutation.

Yet, the resurrection succeeded, and their son was alive and well.

Even with the traumatic experience, they still had their son to take care of. The mentioning of their resurrected son had made both of them glance toward their son's door. Sig felt himself sigh till he realized it hit him.

"Izumi, what are we going to do, everyone knows us in the town and about our son's passing" Sig said as wanted to know what kind of excuse they would have to make to the town's people that knew them. "We'll move. We'll make a fresh start now that our son is alive. A real family together" Izumi replied as she stood up, only to suddenly cough blood and slump to the floor, suddenly losing consciousness. "Izumi!" Sig quickly cried out as he came to his wife's side.

It was horror once more. The world that she had escaped and not only survived from, she entered it once more as she was in great fear. The enveloping white that was endless was viewed once more as Izumi saw the stone Gate in front her. She gulped as the home of Truth was no place that she ever wanted to set foot in again. However the strange and ominous feeling that she felt didn't exist. Slowly turning her gaze from her Gate, she didn't see the Truth behind her and was greatly shock to see something else. Another Gate was seen floating within the white expanse, only to this one. This form of the Gate was much different.

It was larger than hers. The mural design took the resemblance of a demonic dragon being seen letting loose upon a legion of humanoids: having large feathered wings and having swords with them. But the sight of more humanoids was seen only to be demonic in form as they fought upon the angelic humans. An utter display of battle was in more technical terms as she saw swords being driven into the great creature as the sight of its tail lashed upon clouds: with the sight of angels falling from the heavens. The Gate was wrapped in two large chains that locked it.

"Was there ever two Gates?" she thought to herself.

Her gaze and thought was soon broken as her eyes saw something else other than the gate. A person, a person was seen. This person revealed to be male, facing directly toward the Gate as he gazed toward the immense Gate.

She gasped suddenly, managing to gain the individual's attention as he shifted. From her eyes she could see he was very pale and his hair was blonde, being very think as it reached to the lower end of his back. His entire person was bare, having his entire body being somehow robust. He was very much older, being a possibly in his late teen or early twenties.

The blonde slowly began to turn his head as he came to view her. His eyes revealed to be a pure sky blue and the sight of adorn marks were seen on his cheeks.

Izumi's expression slowly grew with greater shock and disbelief as she stared speechlessly; adorn marks featured on his cheeks?! She knew who he was, it quickly revealed to be her son, but somehow, he was older. Slowly he began to stand; he stood facing the Gate, seeming as if he were in thought. Izumi studied him, she quickly notice that only one of his arms was down, and not the other one. Having himself slowly turn completely in her field of vision, he revealed why his arm was not lowered like his other. An infant was seen, only this infant held black hair.

"My… my baby" she gasped as she suddenly ran toward both of them. But her Gate opened suddenly opened as the appendages of shadows quickly shot from the darkness within the ancient doorway as the eye was seen within it once more. Stretching, the hand-like appendages quickly wrapped around Izumi's arms and waist as it slowly brought her to her Gateway. "No, no!" she screamed as she tried to remove the hands wrapping around her. With no results in her effort, she was dragged slowly as she forced herself to see her sons moving farther and farther away as tears broke through. "My baby, please come with me, you don't have to stay here" she screamed as she outstretched her hand toward them both.

The blonde simply gazed toward her before he looked down upon the black haired infant; he looked as if he didn't understand. Izumi herself didn't understand what was happening; her son that was born with black hair was within the void, and the infant that she transmuted that held blonde hair was also within the white void. How was any of this possible, they were two separated beings? "Please, I beg of you to come with me!" she cried as the gate was only a few feet away from her. The older blonde soon shook his head "We cannot" he spoke with calmness as he gazed toward her, quickly seeing the shock and horror plastered upon her face. He continued to speak "our souls have intertwined with one another and was fragmented into the material world, where our body lies with you there. We can never go back with you, for your recklessness would plumage the world into darkness ―he soon smiled sadly as he gazed upon the black haired infant once more― I only wish that the days of your happiness will last forever as the day will come to where your happiness will become a whirlpool of anguish" he stated slowly as he began to face the Draconic Gate once more.

"Naruto" he whispered silently, yet it was enough for her to hear as she screamed from the absolute horror as she was soon pulled in. Having the fierce thunderclap of the doors slamming shut behind the blonde as he slowly looked upon the mural once more as he breathed in softly. "Take care of yourself… Okāsan" the blonde said a single tear streaked across his cheek, the warm liquid had slowly fallen upon the infant's face, bringing the baby to whimper silently.

Izumi's eyes snapped open as she screamed in horror, the feeling of her own eyes quickly burned as sunlight burned horrendously on her corneas. The sound of a door opening and a pair of arm wrapped around her "Izumi, Izumi!" the cries of Sig had brought her to look at the strong face of her husband as he tried in much of his power to calm her. "The baby, where's my baby Sig!?" she screeched as she tried to pry his hands off of her. "Calm down Izumi, he's fine. The baby's fine" he assured her as felt her thrashing stop, despite, the thrashing stopping, he could feel Izumi trembling in fear. Izumi was in a cold sweat as her breathing was unsteady.

"I need to see him, Sig. I need to" she whispered as he placed his both his hands on her shoulders "Please calm down first. You just had a nightmare and you coughed up blood yesterday, please for the sake of our child and me" he begged as she viewed him with her stricken gaze. Seconds passed as she was able to gain a bit of her composure. "Please dear, I want to see him. It's important" she quivered as he could only nod in uncertainty as assisted her in getting up.

Slowly making their way to his room, Izumi saw him sleeping quietly within his bed, breathing gently. He wasn't unscathed, wasn't taken from her that she had seen when she re-entered the void. Izumi soon knelt down as she caressed him gently "I'm not going to let anything happen to you, I'm not going to let that thing take you away from me, I'll protect you with my very life ―Izumi stopped as she felt the strong hand of Sig mount on her shoulder. He heard what she said "You're not in this alone Izumi, I'll give every ounce of my strength to protect him, and you" he stated solemnly as she smiled and looked down upon her slumbering child.

But then the name that her son had said within the void came to her, she was very much confused by it yet it made her think of the names that she thought when she and Sig were planning on naming him when he was born. With his new features she couldn't help but think it was a more suitable name "dear, I've thought of a name for him" Sig was surprised but was greatly curious "and that would be?" he asked as he viewed his wife smile."I want his name to be, Naruto" she said softly as they both saw the blissful smile of their son. Sig nodded: a most suitable name to agree with.

"Naruto, Naruto Curtis" they both thought together.


(-(-Author's Note: There, I have finally done the second redone chapter. You have no idea how long it took me to make this. This is by far the hardest thing I've ever done. Please review and please, I ask for a bit of advice, I'm not a professional when it comes to being an author and things like that but I want to have people that like my stories and may in time give me confidence in writing a real book. The third chapter is coming soon.-)-)
