Pengin says: Hello everyone this is my first ever fan fiction so I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I do writing it.
Chibi says: Stop boring the poor readers by rambling so much! Just get on with the story!
Pengin says: Geez…chill out I was only trying to be polite.
Chibi says: Well your 'politeness' has just cost some readers to switch to a different story!
Pengin says: I'm sure they won't…but…just…incase on with the story.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Author Notes: this fanfiction was based on the idea with the manga D.N.Angel but not a crossover, the only character that is from D.N.Angel is 'Wiz'. One more thing (Chibi: Oh boy! Will you get on with the damn story?) As I was saying this won't be exactly like the manga of D.N.Angel so please don't flame me for putting off miner details, it is just a reason for me to give Edward wings.
This is an Alternate Universe fic it is set in our world so Edward and Alphonse have their original bodies.
Also this will eventually turn out to be an Ed/Roy fic but not something too major (because Chibi won't allow it), so read at your own risk.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist or D.N.Angel if I did then both stories would never exist.

Chapter 1: A New School Term, a New Beginning
"Nii-san wake up!" a timid but loud excited voice was calling out, "Come on we're going to be late for our first day of school!"
The tad over excited voice belonged to a sixteen years old Alphonse Elric, Al for short which doesn't reflect his statues, standing at 175 cm tall with short, loose, wheat brown colored hair, round gray eyes and a having a sweet innocent face that matches his timid voice. (1)
Al's wearing the stander school uniform of Tachibana High School (2) a white shirt with a nave necktie the tie has one red strip horizontally across from one side to the other. Also a nave blazer over the shirt and matching trousers, the schools emblem is on the right side of the front pocket of the blazer.
The emblem consists of a tiger like creature standing on its high legs with its claws stretched out and looking ready to attack. Why such a creature is on the uniform that supposes to represent a place that finds education the most important thing in the world will still be a wonder for Al but at the moment he doesn't have the time to wonder because he's…
"LATE!" Al shouted after taking a peek at the clock hanging on the well in the kitchen "Come on Nii-san!" the once sweet face has now, turned into a very worried plus annoyed look.
From the upstairs a different voice shouted back at Al "Al it's your first day at a new school not mine" the voice grumbled. "Also you go to school first, it's not like you need me to hold your hand or anything." The voice added with a hint of amusement.
"Ha ha very funny" Al replied sarcastically "anyway are you sure that you don't want me to wait for you, I mean are you sure that you won't just go back to sleep after I'm gone?" Al stated seriously obvious someone with experience when dealing with his certain big brother's going back to sleep after the coast is clear issues.
His question was answered in a form of what appears to be low grumbles and mumbling of unidentifiable series of words, but Alphonse knows better then that. Any other people, who knew his brother well enough can tell, it isn't something that should be heard by innocent young children or nice elderly seniors with a weak heart condition.
After a moments hesitation the voice shouted back "yea Al I'm sure, now go, it wouldn't look good if the Students' representative was late on the first day of term" the voice stated as a form of teasing.
Al didn't get upset at that remark he even felt a small smirk starting because he knows exactly how to counter it. "Well it wouldn't look good either if the Student Council President were late to speak to the whole first year new students."
Al was feeling very proud of himself he could almost hear his brother throw a fit of anger before he went to the front door getting ready to leave but not after stopping in front of a pitcher frame, whispering a small;
"I'm of mum" and left the house running towards his new school's location.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The School is just your typical Japanese High School in a no name city with their big four stories high white building including a roof and their front gates with the name Tachibana engraved onto the front of the right stone. The stone is part of a set of two that holds the school gates in between them.
Al just arrived at the front gate taking in the scenarios in front of him, along the pathway connecting the gates to the fount of the schools main entrances both sides are surrounded by lust green trees. Event though the seasons are turning cold it still doesn't stop Al to admirer this site, until a hand clamped their fingers onto Al's neatly ironed blazer (done by Al himself of course) followed up by familiar high animated voice shouting;
"Morning Al!"
Al had to hold back a small gasp trying escape his mouth with the sudden death-hug he received from the figure and replaced it with a hesitating,
"Wh…Winry?" questioned Al while tilting his head to the side to get a better look at the blond hair girl clinging on to him and added a cheerful sounding; "Morning!"
"Al where's Ed?" The girl asked while letting go of Al's neck. She is now standing beside him looking around for the asked person, the girl named Winry seems to have foreseen the fact that Al will not be taken aback by her form of greeting.
"Nii-san will be coming shortly; I'm here first because I don't want to be late for the speech to the first years as I need to go on after." Al replied Winry's question adding on any other details that the girl would ask.
"Oh yeah!" Winry stated as in just realising "you're the Students' representative this year, well good luck Mr highest scores in the entire first year entry exam." Winry said cheerfully and giving Al full attention with her sky blue orbs.
Now that his childhood friend isn't trying to repress his circulation of air, Al takes a good look at the girl. Winry was wearing the girls' school uniform of Tachibana High, which consents of a white tight fitting shirt with a navy tie, but there are no real rules as to how to tie the thing. Some girls will tie it the proper way or like his friend here into a butterfly bow; the tie also like Al's own tie; has a single red line but different from Al's own tie the stripe follows along the girls' tie.
Tucked into the shirt is a navy blue sailor skirt, which reaches to the knees. Over the white shirt is a navy blue blazer same style as the boy's blazers; with the school emblem on the right side of the front pocket, but the girls' blazer stops at their waist whilst the boys' goes over their hips.
"So how do I look?" Winry asked playfully after noticing that Al was looking at her.
Al was pulled back with the sudden question and hid a tiny blush; he didn't know that he was staring. "Um… you look great, the uniform really suits you." Al replied with a bit of uneasiness, it seems that Winry was about to say something but was interrupted by the chime of the school bell indicating the gathering of the first year students.
"Well it looks like we should go."
Winry had started walking towards the school then tuned to Al and said, "good luck Al!" With that she hurried towards the school followed by a smiling Al.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"All right that's about sums up what I wanted to say I hope that all you new students enjoy your stay here at Tachibana High."
Principal Bradley had just finished his very long, very boring speech. For someone who passed their forties and looks like they could have an appointment with the F.D.I, (3) he can sure take his time to bore the hell out of a person in just 20 minuets. The majority of the students were thinking along these lines as they prepare themselves for the rest of the expendable speeches.
"Now for our next agenda I would like to ask the honour of the Students' representative to come up to the stage for a few words of encouragement."
With that said the blond teen waiting behind the stage curtains walked to the front of the stage standing behind the wide desk which was pervious occupied by the Principal, who is now seated with the other teachers. This seems to be enough to get the students attention and give them the unvoiced permission for them to talk about the teen among themselves in a low whisper.
"That's the guy who scored the highest marks in the schools entry exams?"
"Ha! He looks nerves up th'ya, why da we have to lisun to soom geeks' talk anyways?" (4)
"Is he a foreigner?"
"What's the big deal Tachibana is famous for being an international high school."
"Maybe he's a mix"
"Hay… Don't ya think he's kindya kute?"
'Don't even think it missy!' (5)
'This is nothing to Al, we've been through worst.'
The hall was salience again after the sound of a throat clearing, everyone directed their attention to the one established the cough which is the reason to all the noise in the first place, Al.
"Thank you. Everybody my name is Alphonse Elric, but I would be happy if you called me Al. It's a Pleasure meeting you all…"
Al's speech went on and when finished, the principal gets ready to announce the next speaker.
"Now for our last guess the Student Council President."
Seeing that he's finished the students started another round of mumbling and galloping gossip.
"I heard from my older sister who also goes to this school says that the Student council president was also the Students' representative in their first year"
"Why isn't it over yet, this is boring, I'm hunger?"
"I wonder if he's good looking,"
"Oh grate, another boring speech could this day get any better?"
"I hear that this president was elected in his first year."
From the opposite side, which Al went to the desk, came another blond teen but there are a few differences, first this teens hair colour is a lot richer then Al's, golden even.
Second the hair reaches down to the teens' mid-back and is let loose.
Third the teen's eye colour is the same golden colour as the possessors hair.
Forth the teen stands around to be 165cm tall (6).
And fifth the teen is wearing the Tachibana's high school uniform for Girls with the difference from Winry's uniform, the teen's shirt has a high collar which covers the whole neck, the tie is tied the proper way also instead of a single red strip it has double stripes.
It seems the number of stripes indicates the year of the students, so it doesn't take a genius to figure out that the teen is in the second year, also she's a…
"A GIRL?" the students partially shouted the obvious, but they had no chance to discuss the matter when the person one the stage began to speak.
"I would like to welcome the new students to our school," the utterance voice use to speak was unusual, not expected from a girl; she has a low pitch voice which you can't tell if it belongs to a boy or a girl.
"Let me introduce myself, as you all know I'm Tachibana High School's Student Council President my name is Edan Elric, second year."
"Huh…? Elric?" at the mention of the last name everyone that was listening began to wonder the same question.
"To answer any of your wonders I and Alphonse Elric are siblings."
With that the start of Tachibana's High new school term begins, also with the start of new rumours which revolves around the Elric siblings.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Alphonse-kun what do you like to do?"
"Where do you come from?"
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
"What kind of girls do you like?"
After Al entered his class he was bordered with questions, which has nothing to do with academics, but being the polite and considerate sibling he doesn't think it would be nice to ignore them.
"Umm… Just Al is fine and I like to do research at my spare time. I was born in a rural village and moved here a couple of years ago. No, I don't have a girlfriend and as to what type of girls I like-that's-a-secret." Al uttered the last part with a smile, which resulted tuning the girls into a screaming fit.
But not only were the girls asking questions, some of the boys are equally eager to find out more about Al's cute sister.
"Hay Al dose your sister have a boyfriend?"
"What type of boys' dose she like?"
"What are her measurements?"
Luckily for Al before he could even consider answering these ridiculous questions the homeroom teacher walks in.
The teacher was at an average height estimated at the ages 20-25 years, wearing a dark green suit with a fitted skirt which reaches to her knees, she also has think brown hair, which reaches to her neck. The teacher wore thick black rimed square glasses, which smothers almost half her face.
"Hello first I just want to say welcome first year; I'm your homeroom teacher please call me Sheska or sensei if you like." Sheska talks with a confident tone, which will surprise anyone because the teacher looks like the timid type and will break down any second and cry.
"Dose any one have any questions that they will like to ask before we continue?" Sheska resumed.
After Sheaka has finished one of the girls in the class raised her hand.
"Yes?" Sheska asked with a gentle smile
"Ano…sensei is Sheska your surname?"
Sheska seems to be expecting this question since her smile got bigger. "No, is my first name."
After another student joined in the conversation, but this time it's a boy. "What? O.K now that's weird, why would you want us to call you by your first name? Isn't that disrespectful?" The boy expresses forgetting his own manners.
"Well since you are now young adults I feel that it is proper to treat you as adults, as I expect your actions to reflect that of an adult." Sheska totally ignores the boys' rudeness, some students were surprised at that, while others was snickering at the dumbfounded boy; this is until Sheska continues;
"But I have to warn you that not all teachers think like me, so it is advised that you are to address your tutors and superiors properly with respect unless informed otherwise, we also expect that you are to behave yourselves while being apart of this school." The teacher said professional but you can tell in her tone that the consequences would be dire if they don't do as she says.
After their little ordeal the rest of the class was spent uneventful, Sheska used the time to remember everyone's faces, yes faces, since she already memorised every single student's name in the entire school all she have left is to remember the faces that belongs to the name.
And thus lunch arrives without any more complications.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A town away from the Tachibana High School in a museum; visitors was gathered around focusing onto one of the displays. It wasn't a priceless piece of artwork painted by a famous decrease artist, it wasn't a revolutionised scientific invention but a metallic silvered feather stabbed onto a glass display box with a note at the tip of the feather.
The note reads:
Tonight the Heaven's Key will be taken before the fading of the morning star. (7)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At lunch Al was looking around the wide white halls searching for his 'sister'… or… at least that was what he was doing until he got ganged up by a few of the school's Journalise Club members.
"Alphonse Elric?" the boy that seems to be the main reporter asked.
The boy has introduced himself as Russell Tringham a first year just like Al, the boy had short mustard blond hair that has different layers to it which some of it covers his sapphire blue eyes. Russell is about a few centimetres taller then Al and wearing a disorganised school uniform; with the top few buttons of the shirt undone, the tie was tied like he was doing it and half way into it he just didn't bother and just left it as it is. In comparison to Al's own well-cleaned, well ironed and well worn uniform Russell's was a disaster.
Russell also had a disgusted look on his face.
Al couldn't figure out why did Russell looked that way towards him, nor the nagging feeling he was having as to why, somehow, somewhere he had herd the said boy's name before.
"If it's alright with you, would you mind if we interview you for our school papers?" Russell asked in a civilised manner, but Al still detects a hint of irritation in both his voice and face.
It wasn't that Russell was being known that he is irritated it's just Al being able to read others emotions very well; due to the business that he and his brother conducts Al has helped with his brothers clients. This is so his brother won't have to work too hard, so it became a habit for Al to subconsciously read into people's expressions.
"Why do you want to interview me? I'm just an new first year like anyone else." Al asked innocently while shrugging off the issue as to why the boy looked mad.
Russell's eyebrow seems to have twitched a bit with Al's reasonable question and again only Al noticed and responses with a half rise eyebrow.
"Well yes, you are a first year but you are also the one who scored the highest ranking in the whole of the first years entry exams, it is a tradition of the Journalise Club to interview those that have had outstanding results in the entry exams. Not only that you are also the younger brother of Edan Elric who also happens to be the top student in the entire second year she is also the Student Council President since her second term of her first year. So naturally people will want to know about you."
Russell all but sputter-out his thorough explanation using effort to making it sounds like an insult towards Al.
Al doesn't want to (and possibly will if this continues) make-a-scene so he just did as the boy asked.
While Russell was asking questions, Al was answering half-heartedly but still giving the necessary answers on a need-to-know basis. Even though the questions don't really reflect anything important; 'something's are best to left unknown,' Al contemplated.
During the interview Al took note of the other two boys standing to his right and the other a bit behind Russell; the boy on the Al's right was holding a small camera, not the type you would think to use for a photographer in a journalise club. He had dark blue eyes and thick auburn hair, which in Al's opinion has more then necessary amount of hair-gel--as a result making him look like he just swam back from the ocean.
The boy was a bit shorter then Al also has the looks of a menace which unnerves Al, for this boy; who both boys never introduced themselves, was taken many pictures of Al (mainly focusing on his face).
The other boy wasn't doing anything just standing behind Russell tilting his head forward which causes his shout ginger bags to fall covering in front of his black rimmed frames, you couldn't see the colour of his eyes due to the refection of light cause by the glass frames. This boy stood about the same height as the other boy but you can't tell for sure since he wasn't standing to his full height he has a scraggy body thus making the boy look weak. (8)
Both boys are first years according to their ties.
A sudden realisation smacked to the back of Al's mind:
'Why are first years doing this interview? By the way they're making it sound, it is very important; then way are three, first years doing the interview, not only that on the first day of school---!'
"What's going on here?" All thoughts, writing, snapping and any other movements was stopped as every student that was currently in the wide hallway directed their attention to the strained sounding voice.
Stood in the middle of the hallway were two figures; the taller figure was a boy standing just as tall as Al, the boy looks older then the rest of the people in the meantime. With dark green hair that reaches over his backside, which appears to have a mind of it own being scattered all over the place.
The older teen has a slim body and if it wasn't for the uniform ---which is worst off then Russell's. If Russell's uniform is a disaster then the teen standing in the hallways is a total massacre.
The teen by the look of it has forgotten that a shirt has buttons so you can see the tone stretcher of the teen's body exposed to every detail. His hands are tucked inside his pants pockets and his whole body is leaning a bit forward looking ready to pounce. The blazer and tie have been disregarded you can't tell what year he's in, but certainly not in first year.
You couldn't tell if he's a boy or a girl with the face he has; violet eyes that is filled with a thirst for danger that could send anyone down a shivering path when looked into them. The teen is currently smirking a very wide smirk showing a set of white teeth, this is enough for the older teen to say that someone's in trouble. And he's glad he's not on the receiving end of it.
Standing to the older teens side is a familiar face that all the first year students have met on their first day of school, also the one who asked the strained question that stopped every one for what seems to be an eternity;
"Pre…President Elric an…and Vice-president Envy!" the scraggy boy with glasses manage to mumble after finding his voice.
"I asked what is going on here?" the female blond asked once again, but this time the voice contains impatiens and annoyance two combinations that isn't good on this certain President, as the second and third years or Al could tell you.
Seeing as no one want to Al decided to step-up to his sister.
"Nee-san" Both Elrics had mentally shivered when Al said that word. "These three here had come to interview me for the school newspaper"
"Oh really…" Edan stared at the three first years and they flinched at the look.
The golden cat-eyes staring have a flicker of flame aiming towards the first years, the three younger teens have the look of children that has just been caught with their hands in a cookie jar --- which isn't far from the truth.
"As I recall all club activities are not due to start until next week and even if the interview is starting early first years are not permitted to give interviews on their own account until the start of the second school term. Now tell me what-are-you-up-to!" Now the golden eyes are just reflecting on sheer anger directing the question straight to Russell Tringham.
Before Russell could react the green hair teen began to speck in an eerie tone that matches his looks, taking his hands out from the confinements of his pocket and rising one hand to meet his chin rubbing his thumb and index finger on the bottom of his chin. Casting a thoughtful look towards Al.
"Ne…that guy over there is Alphonse Elric right? Your younger brother." Envy didn't wait for a reply and continues.
"I heard that because of his cute looks, many student (mostly females) would pay quite a good amount to get a decent photo of him."
Both Elrics was in shock for different reasons; Al couldn't believe that people would pay money for a picture of him. Edan couldn't believe that Envy knew about this and didn't tell her!
Envy missed the two siblings shocked expression and just struggled a bit before saying more.
"Don't worry these things happen every year when a good looking student enters the school but I am surprised they're moving so quick this year. It took about two weeks for me to get an outstanding photo of you!" Envy had thrown one of his famous smirks while saying the last part towards the person besides him.
Edan didn't even want to ponder on the outstanding part---heck she didn't even want to know how many of those photos were sold out. Edan only knows that she had never wanted to beat-the-crap out of the said Student Council Vice- President more then this very moment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sir! Sir! Mr Hakuro"
The manager of the museum turned to meet one of the securities of the museum hurrying towards his direction with a strained look on his already paled face, clutching an object that glimmers with the movement of the man.
"What is it Steve?" Mr Hakuro asked in an emotionless manner.
Steve didn't answer only trying to regain the lack of oxygen in his lungs and handing in the contents in his clutches.
Mr Hakuro stared wide-eyed at the items in the paled palm; hints of fading pinkish red were shown on the palm where the fingers would have been if the palm were met into a grip.
A raise of panic struck into Mr Hakuro as he recognised the glimmering object lying on Steve's palm.
"And sir" Steve gave out a piece of paper to Mr Hakuro for him to examine.
After inspecting the note Mr Hakuro gave out an angry roar of demands towards Steve:
"Call the police now! Tell them to come to the Museum of National Artefacts at once!"
After Steve had recovered from the sudden shock of their normally cool-headed manager, Steve knew that this is very serious.
In the back of Steve's mind there was a part that had given doubts about the note but after seeing the reaction of his boss that part was immediately pushed away.
Mr Haruko watches as Steve left looking back at the note in his hands. Holding the note like his life depends on it, Haruko sneered in his mind:
'Kaitou Lucifer'
