Ruby: We're back!!
Me: I could say sorry all day but you've been waiting for this too long
Disclaimer: no I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist or Naruto (you'll see what I'm talking about)
Unite or Divide Ch. 10 (woohoo! double digits)
The sky rumbled along with a steady shower of rain.
Lighting flashed, giving a new light on any and everything that testified to the scene that the author decided right then and there would be crucial to her sucky fanfic.
But I'm missing the point.
As the trees lashed and tossed with the unforgiving wind, the reader's attention is caught on a lovely home, in the middle of what seems to be the countryside. But appearances are deceiving.
Inside the house is not a warm happy family. But two orphan boys, whose father is yet to be heard from and whose mother has recently died.
They are desperate to have her back, and instead of praying daily to a God that the older sibling is skeptic of, they turn to something a bit more...flashy.
Alchemy.
"Ready Al?"
"Yes brother"
"Let's bring mom back." The older one said, and placed his small hands on the intricate circle that he drew moments ago. His hair is like the sun and his eyes hold wisdom that no kid should have. His younger brother, albeit reluctant, placed his hands on the circle as well.
A blinding flash of light...blinded the two momentarily. The older one looked up, exited that his mom was going to be revived. Suddenly the pure white and blue light gave way, and turned into desolate and ominous purples and blacks.
"BROTHER!!!"
The blond turned and started to sprint to his younger sibling as tentacles whipped out and took hold of his small body. Outstretching his arm to pull back the ensnared boy, despite his own lack of leg he currently sported.
And then, he disappeared.
The blond boy fell in despair. First his mother, now his only other family has let him alone.
All alone.
Abruptly, another light illuminated the dank study, this one a fierce red. The blond shielded his eyes, and opened them only when the light faded.
"Al? Al, is that you?!!"
The smoke dissipated and a tall figure stood in the middle of the alchemic circle. He swiveled his head to the incapacitated boy yelling for someone called 'Al'.
The looming figure chuckled darkly, "Foolish little boy, I am not this Al you seek. Now if you'll excuse me, I have come back from the dead for one reason and one reason only. To let my brother to revive the clan!!! Muahahahahah!!"
And with that he Goukakyuu-d the wall and stepped out into the rain, black hair plastered to his face, obscuring his red, wheeled eyes.
Ever since then, Edward Elric, has hated fire for that reason. (How dare he call him foolish!!?) But this story is not about him, it's about the long haired stranger with the wrinkles under his eyes.
Oh yes, Itachi Uchiha has come to town.
-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:In Suna-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
The light shone brightly, ignorant of a loss for a certain flaxen alchemist. Another blond lay in bed, his spiky hair, splayed out on his tan face, framing his whiskered cheeks. The TEEN was currently napping in a silky crimson bed, legs wrapped around the waist of his bed companion holding him like a fluffy PANDA plushy.
His companion had woken up not to long ago, not being a big fan of sleep. His face was red, rivaling that of his hair, heavy lined eyes darted towards the blond that held him in a very intimate position.
To his surprise he liked being held like this by him.
So he didn't say anything. Next to these two teens, were another two, one who looked like a fox man and another who looked like a brown version of the red head first mentioned. These two were in the exact same position. The fox man grasped the other tightly, not letting go.
Everything was quiet, and the red head was trying to not blush any redder.
He was slowly succeeding until the blond woke up and mumbled something, his azure eyes gazed at Gaara sleepily. Naruto then smiled and kissed Gaara on the cheek and went to sleep on top of said sand nin.
Gaara was still, deathly so. His mind in between 'WTF?!' and 'mmmmm...'
The red head only remembered kissing from when the Nara told his sister he loved her and if he survived her younger brother he would make it up to her.
'love...'
He rolled around that idea for a while and decided to give back. Leaning over he went to kiss Naruto in the cheek, just as the blond was turning around to ask Kyuubi were they where. When lips made contact with lips both boys widened their eyes.
But they didn't pull away.
Azure looked at Gaara in confusion, then he remembered his earlier actions and blushed heavily. Gaara, deciding right then and there, decided he like that red on his kitsune's cheek.
'MY kitsune??!! ...Love?! ... Uzumaki?...!'
Shock made Gaara act instinctively, as he rolled over and pinned Naruto down, straddling his hips and pinning both his arms to the side. His whole frame shaking lightly, in fear or excitement.
"Why?" Naruto asked a bit breathless after the kiss.
Shaking his head, Gaara stayed silent and just contented himself to stare into the depthless blue below him. Words failed him, and Naruto was about to ask 'why' again, when the red head covered his lips with his own. Pained teal closed in frustration at his own actions. Why was he risking what only close bond he had, merely by acting on lust?
He was disgusted with himself.
His features contorted into said feeling and Naruto mistook that for repulsion at himself. Tears finding their way into his eyes but not falling, he struggled.
"Get off me, jerk!!" his face was red in shame, never had he thought that Gaara would be so revolted towards him.
Over coming his self loathing quickly, Gaara made a firmer grip on him to keep Naruto there. Naruto, wanting to be there but at the same time far away, forgot that he could easily overpower the Kazekage.
It went unnoticed to the two that Kyuubi and Shukaku had left the room silently.
They now stood guard on the other side of the door, recognizing a lover's quarrel. With sound barriers and serious expressions they armed themselves and took to glaring at passing Sakura and Sasuke, while merely shaking their heads at Temari and Kankuro.
The puppet user was confused, while the wind mistress understood. She had seen the looks that Gaara had reserved especially for Uzumaki, how could that mutual understanding of pain not find comfort in themselves?
It was up to them now, to see if they could overcome the walls put up to not let love pass through.
-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:Gaara's bedroom-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
"Why? Why? Gaara, let me go!"
"no." his voice was deep and it breathed warm air onto Naruto's neck, making said boy shiver. Gaara had rolled over again and had Naruto flush against him. Gaara's back was to the silk covers and Naruto's back rested on Gaara's naked chest. Both boys had taken their shirts off sometime during the night, heat too unbearable with Suna's climate in the early mornings.
Gaara had both Naruto's arms locked by his own, and his feet wrapped around the blonde's to stifle movement. Moments passed and neither boy said anything. Finally, the red head asked, "What is love?"
Startled Naruto wanted to look at him to give him his best 'are you crazy?' look. But in the end he complied.
"I guess...it's an intense feeling of compassion and affection, there's also a passionate attraction and desire...maybe, something that's unconditional, and you have to give and take sometimes too." Naruto recited, remembering the times he wished he was loved.
"What if I loved...you?" Gaara paused, nervous as to how he would react.
Naruto choked on his breath. "Why would you love me?" he tried his best to not let his voice crack, the sun now high in the morning sky, illuminating the Kazekage's room.
"You understand...only you..." Gaara clutched at the blond tight, his arms wrapped around the slim hips, everything coming together for him. And yet only words could make it all fall apart.
Blue eyes widened in realization, and he asked, "So you're not disgusted ?"
Startled Gaara shook his head wildly and lightly nipped him on the shoulder, reveling in his scent, ramen and the scent of something sweet, like strawberries...
Feeling his companions negative, Naruto leaned back and expose to Gaara his neck, to show submissiveness and agreement.
"I guess...I love you too." That explains these weird feelings " The damn pigeon was right!" Naruto swore, making the red head chuckle. He kept his arms tight around the blond, basking in the feeling at the pit of his stomach. A warm tugging emotion, that fluttered with every movement from Naruto. Even the midday desert heat had never felt this scorching, he thought to himself.
"What does this make us?" Naruto asked, slightly smelling Gaara's scent, like sand and cinnamon... catching himself doing something really embarrassing he reddened to a deep scarlet.
Gaara smiled, Naruto could feel it at the back of his nape, and flipped them over again, lightly resting the blonde's head on a pillow, so that only one blue eye trailed his movements, the front of his body on the soft mattress. Gaara leaned down, his arms on either side of Naruto's head to support his weight, and bit and the juncture of Naruto's neck. A VERY sensitive area it seemed as Naruto mewled lightly. Tasting blood, Gaara stopped biting and licked the wound slowly, letting Kyuubi's powers heal the blond. Even so the mark stayed a blushing red, as if that spot was suppose to be bitten, despite how good healing the person had.
Smiling so that his canines showed a bit, he let the blond under him turn around to fully view him. Only one word was uttered to answer Naruto's question.
"Mates."
-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:Some other place-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
The lighting that once took place years ago was gone, the beautiful home burned down along with memories. In the scorched ashes stood three people.
One of them was a tall suit of armor that stood in an alchemic circle that seemed vaguely familiar. The other one was finishing up some Latin on the circle, his blond hair braided like usual and his trademark red jacket hung on the shoulders of the third person. His hair the weirdest shade of green and his eyes clashing purple, along with his skin tight suit made up of a skort and something like a sports bra.
"Edo, you done yet?" the green one asked. Ed just nodded and stepped back, sweat slid along his brow as what he was about to do hit him like a ton of freaking bricks. The green haired one, known as Envy, wrapped his arms around the short alchemist licking the sweat off.
"You'll do fine Koibito..." he assured him as Ed blushed under him. Getting his confidence back he smiled warmly at his brother and clapped.
Placing his hands on the circle light once more splayed all around them. Before Ed loomed the gate, and he was prepared, offering the soul of the immortal known as Dante for his brother's body and soul.
The trade was accepted and Ed came back to consciousness in his own body, which was supported by Envy.
"D-did it work?" Envy just looked at the gate in response, as Ed followed his gaze. It opened and two figures
walked out. One a young naked boy with brown hair, being held by a pale sallow man. His ebony black hair and purple eye shadowed eyes made Envy scream out.
"IT'S MICHEAL JACKSON!!!"
"NO! Fool! I am Orochimaru; bow down to me, BOW DOWN DAMMIT!!" Whispering to the sin Ed said, "Issues..." The snake Sannin then proceeded to drop the boy in his arms, (AL! YOU JERK!!) and bite his thumb.
Summoning his pet snake, he climbed on top of Manta (I think that's the name, either that or Orochi) and proceeded to rant everyone's ear off with his fruity, diabolical and really perverted plans.
"Instead of taking Sasuke-kun's body, I will do what I should have done in the first place! Take Naruto-kun's body instead! Then with the Kyuubi's power under my command, I will make Tsunade regret ever dumping me for that fool Jiraiya!!!! Kukukukukuk!! And then I will live forever in my new body!!!!"
And he sped off towards Konoha.
Standing up and shaking his fists in Orochimaru's general direction, Envy shrieked "WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH EVERYONE LIVING FOREVER?! I LIVE FOREVER TOO Y'KNOW!! IT'S NOT ALL IT'S CRACKED UP TO BE!!!!"
Ed looked at him, "Are you done?"
"Gimme a sec"
"Yeah I'm done."
Woo!! total supporter of EnvyxEd!!! this chapter was kind of not totally focused on GaaNaru, but I tried to make so its not too angsty, cause this is a light fic, but I just couldn't avoid the issue. Both of them aren't very experienced in that section and difficulties arise. I also didn't want to make too smutty, so it's mostly hugging and a kiss for some readers who aren't ready for that (wink) ANYways its a shounen-ai fic so nyah!!
I also didn't want to make it seem like this:
"I love you!"
"OMG! I love you too!! "
-waves crashing them running to each other in slow-mo in a sandy (haha) beach-
Even though to me it came out like that T.T...
Please review!!
Ruby: even though you got cheated and exposed to her lame attempt at starting a plot line...
