Chapter Three

"Riku!" Kairi shouted. She ran over to Edward and looked at his head. "Look at this, he's bleeding!" Edward had a big gash on his forehead and blood was dripping out. "You said you weren't going to hurt him!"

"Oh, come on Kairi I didn't hit him that hard," Riku said throwing the bloody rock to his side.

"Who do you think he is?" the brown-haired boy asked.

"Well by the way he's dressed I'd say he's not from around here, right Sora?"

"You might be right, Riku," Sora replied, a small smile creeping onto his mouth.

"Who cares about that right now? Come on, help me get him up," Kairi snapped.

----------------------------------------

Edward's head pounded as he sat up. He touched his wounded forehead to feel a bandage had been put over it. He looked around to find himself in a wooded tree house. He looked to his right to see a strange-looking tree. He wondered how the tree could grow in here. "So you're up," he heard someone say. He turned around to see a red-haired girl. She was wearing a white tank top and purple miniskirt with yellow wristbands and a purple band halfway up her left arm. She had large white and purple shoes, and a necklace that looked like a pearl in the shape of a teardrop. Her eyes were blue. "Are you feeling all right?"

"Uh, yeah," he said, her necklace holding his attention for a moment. "But who are you?"

"We could ask you the same question," someone said. Ed looked behind her to see the boy who had attacked him climbing the ladder into the tree house, followed by the brunette boy.

The boy who'd attacked him had silver hair and ice-blue eyes. He was wearing black gloves, black wristbands and a yellow and black sleeveless shirt. His pants were baggy and blue. His shoes were black on the bottom with a wide blue stripe across the top under two black laces.

The other boy had brown spiky hair and light-blue eyes. He had a red jumpsuit with a large zipper going down the middle and a blue belt. Over it, he wore a black and white short-sleeved sweater with a hood. He had white fingerless gloves with a blue stripe across the top and a metal circle over it. He also had a silver crown necklace and large yellow and black shoes.

"I'm Kairi and that's Riku and that's Sora," she told him pointing to the two boys. "Who are you?"

"Uh, I'm Edward Elric." Kairi, Sora and Riku looked up and down Edward, all thinking his clothing was quite strange. His tight leather pants, black shirts and long red over-coat seemed like it would be a bit too warm and Sora thought having his hair in a braid would be rather annoying.

Ed looked at the three of them, thinking their clothes were bizarre as well. Sora looked kind of strange, he had a giddy expression. Ed looked at him questionably.

"Hey," Sora said with excitement clawing at his tone. "Are you from another world?"

"Sora!" Kairi said hitting him on the shoulder. Ed thought a moment.

"I don't know, where's here?"

"This is Destiny Islands."

"Destiny Islands? Never heard of it. Do you know any town or city names around here? I might have heard of those."

"Cities? It's just a lot of islands here. Destiny Islands."

Edward thought for a moment. "Well, then I guess I am from another world."

"Wow! Really? What's it like?!" Sora jumped with enthusiasm. Edward gave a little smile at his reaction. He kind of liked Sora already.

----------------------------------------

"This place isn't all that big, huh?" Ed asked following Sora and Kairi. Riku had gone with someone named Tidus, who had challenged him to something.

"Well not this island anyway. This is just the island that we, and some others, come to play on. There are bigger islands where everybody lives a little west of here, right Sora?" Sora nodded to Kairi.

"Seems pretty nice and peaceful, I'd sure like to live here."

"I don't think so Ed," Sora responded. "It's way to boring here. Nothing exciting happens. You'd probably just get bored, I mean if you travel. Do you?"

"Well, just a bit. But I'd sure like to just settle down and have a real home."

Sora looked as if he'd tasted something foul. "Not for me, no way!"

Kairi smiled, "Sora and Riku want to see other worlds. I kind of do, too. It might be fun to see new places and meet new people. Actually we were planning to set sail soon."

"Set sail?" Ed said confused. Kairi and Sora both nodded.

"We'll show you come on." Sora and Kairi raced to a wooden door and opened it, with Edward right on their tails.

----------------------------------------

Ed followed the two as they walked forward towards a large object with a white sheet over it. "What's this?" Edward said looking up at the object.

"This…" Sora reached and grabbed a corner of the sheet, "is our ship!" He and Kairi pulled off the sheet to reveal a wide raft with a large sail.

"You're…ship?"

"OK, it's not exactly a ship, but we spent a lot of time building it and it's going to help us get to new worlds!" Ed thought the idea was a little silly, being able to go to a different world on a raft, but the thought of him being from another world was a bit strange as well.

"Well if it's our ship, it's going to need a name, right?" The three turned around to see Riku walking towards them. "So what do you think we should name it? How about Highwind?"

"Highwind? That sounds kind of weird, Riku" Sora said.

"Oh, and what do you propose the name should be?"

Sora thought a moment. "Wind Scar, how about Wind Scar?"

"Wind Scar? How in the world is that better that Highwind? I mean that's just plain stupid."

"What?" Sora yelled, gripping a fist.

Kairi giggled. "All right guys, the usual?" Riku and Sora nodded. "Heehee, come on Ed, you're probably going to want to stand out of the way." Ed, Sora and Kairi got on top of the higher piece of land Riku was standing on. Kairi and Ed stood to the side as Riku and Sora stood side-to-side in ready positions. "Three, two, one, go!" Kairi waved her hand down on go, and Riku and Sora sped off.

Next chapter will be more interesting! Review!

Yes I watch Inuyasha, I couldn't think of anything else to name the raft one time so I called it 'Wind Scar'.
