By Toboe Wolf and D.C Talk
Chapter 2
And So Our Journey Begins
Disclaimer:
Toboe: Hello one and all I'm back. Once again I don't own FMA or Wolf's Rain. Also this was co-writen by D.C. Talk who I can't seem to reach…. Any way hope you like it! So on with the Story!
Raven's phone started ringing, blaring the theme song to Wolf's Rain, startling her out of her drawing induced trance. She leaned over her desk and grabbed the phone. Kawa's name appeared and she flipped it open.
"Hey," Raven said excited.
"What are you so worked up about?" Kawa asked puzzled at the other end of the phone.
Raven thought for a moment deciding whether or not to let her on to her devilish plan yet, but she didn't seem to thrilled about it yesterday…
Raven took in a deep breath before answering, figuring the best way to phase her idea.
"Last night I had this idea that if the transportation alchemy did work, we could use it to…" Raven stopped.
"Yeah?" replied Kawa when the silence got boring.
"I was thinking that maybe we might be able to transport ourselves into the Fullmetal Alchemist world," replied Raven her confidence still low. She flushed bright red when Kawa didn't answer.
"Well…" Raven said.
"Are you serious? You honestly think that we can transport ourselves into the TV?" Kawa replied shocked. And she thought that she was the one with crazy ideas.
"I know it sounds stupid okay!" Raven said her voice growing louder, "But I want to at least try it…please Kawa, I would at least like to believe that I can escape this life here for at least a second. Will you at least do that?"
"I don't know," replied Kawa. She immediately felt bad saying that. She knew Raven was uncomfortable at her home with her stepfather when her Mom was at work. Even the though of getting away made her so happy, how could she as a friend do anything to stop her.
"Think about it Kawa, suppose it did work. You would be able to meet Toboe!" Raven said playfully.
"Okay let's try it!" replied Kawa quickly.
"Okay, here's the game plan. Later I'll ask my mom if she'll take me to best buy, I'll buy the DVD and watch it. I'll study it all this week since you can't come over during the week. Then we'll give it our best shot," Raven finished becoming excited that Kawa was starting to see things her way.
"Okay then I guess I'll see you Saturday at noon?" Kawa replied.
"Yeah, bye," Raven said before hanging up, when she heard her mom opening the front door.
Raven ran out of her room, gracefully gliding down the stairs with ease, skillfully avoiding the clothes. And jumped into her mother's arms who had opened her arms when her daughter shot towards her.
"Mom!"
"Hey what's going on?" She asked puzzled at why Raven was acting so…loving.
"I was wondering if you could take me to best buy so I can buy a movie with my allowance, please?" Raven said as she tilted her head up so she could give her mother a begging look. Raven's mom looked back at her with blue eyes, trying to look serious.
"Please!!!"
"Fine, let me go grab my purse," she replied with a sigh.
'YES!' Ravens screamed to herself in glee.
"Do you already have your money?" her mother asked when she came back with her denim purse.
"Ummm, let me go get it," Raven replied rushing back up the stairs with the loud 'thud' every time her combat boots hit the wooden steps.

"Thanks mom," Raven yelled over her shoulders as she scurried up the steps to disappear back into her room. She closed the door and plopped down in front of her T.V.
"Yes, Yes, Yes," She whispered quietly to herself as she literally jumped up and down as she ripped the wrappings off the DVD.
"Ed, Al, Scar, everybody in the military, here I come," Raven said as she placed the DVD into the slot and pushed play. Grabbing the note pad and the pen on her desk she got comfortable, prepared for a long evening of taking notes.
A guy around twenty-five appeared and started talking. He was a strange man. A silver stud was in his right ear. Dressed in all black, his hair was a startling contrast, slivery white. His voice was deep and stern so there was no question about it…he believed in what he was saying.
---
"That is all I know about transportation alchemy, but I'm going to leave you with a few words to ponder.
"Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return.
To obtain something of equal value must be lost.
That is alchemy's first law of equivalent exchange."
"I'm sure that you've already heard it on the hit show Fullmetal alchemist, but the same rules apply for transportation alchemy. Good-bye and good luck," then the TV screen went black and the credits popped up.
"Whoa, this whole alchemy thing is kinda complicated," Raven said staring a t her crammed notebook.
---
"So what all did you find out?" asked Kawa when they had both entered the safety of Raven's room. Raven pulled out her note pad that she had taken the notes in off the book shelf. And she skimmed a few pages she spoke.
"Well, I've learned that it sounds really complicated, but easy at the same time. But I think if we draw that circle thingy in the show and place our hands on the border it should work. Something like you have to draw upon the energy force around you …but this one part still puzzle's me," Raven finished closing the note pad, turning her head to face Kawa.
"Well…what is it?" Kawa asked cocking her head from where she sat cross-legged on the floor.
Raven placed the pad down on her dresser and walked over to Kawa and sat down right in front of her, starring directly into her dark blue eyes.
"You know that one part at the beginning of FMA, right?" Raven said with a serious tone.
Kawa just starred right back at her, shaking her head yes.
"Yeah about human kind cannot gain anything with out giving something of equal value blah, blah, blah." Finished Kawa rolling her eyes at the end of her sentence at the drama.
Raven gave her an irritated look, "No it's not a what ever kind of thing. Kawa, this is serious! What if we do this and we screw up some how because we didn't understand the warning," Raven replied.
Kawa looked up at her, "That's a warning?" Kawa replied innocently.
"That's the way it sounds anyways…do you think they explained that better at the begging of the show? I mean didn't you ever wonder while watching the show how Ed lost his right arm and left leg, and how Al's soul was trapped in a huge can," Raven said now wondering if they should stop while they were ahead.
"Well since you brought it up yeah, but your not going to chicken out just because that's in the show? I mean they probably just said that to scare people," Kawa replied matter-of-factly.
"I hope you're right…let's get started," Raven finished as she rolled up her sleeves and grabbed a piece of chalk.

After cleaning Raven's floor of all dirty clothes, books, and other stuff, Raven and Kawa been hard at work on the circle. Now, two hours later, their masterpiece covered the floor. They had completed the transmutation circle.
"Are you ready to meet Toboe?" Raven teased as she sat on her knees ready to get this thing started. Kawa got down onto her knees too and beamed at Raven.
"You bet!"
Kawa was just an inch away from placing both of her palms into the transmutation circle when she felt Raven grab her hands. She turned her head with confused look on her face, which made Raven laugh.
"Remember you need to think of your destination…which means NO THINKING ABOUT ENTERING WOLFS RAIN YET! We decided on FMA first, keep that in mind" Raven said sternly once she got control of herself.
"If you do then we'll become separated and I don't have the slightest idea of how we would be able to reunite," She finished as she moved her hands forward. But right when her palms were about to make contact with the circle she stopped.
"You ready?" Raven questioned.
"Yeah, let's do this." finished Kawa as she returned her hands to hover over the same circle.
"NOW!" shouted Raven. Two sets of hands touched the circle. At first everything seemed to be going fine, golden lights swirled above Raven and Kawa, both whose breath were taken away. But in an instant everything went completely wrong. Purple and black lights replaced the golden ones. A gust of wind blew Raven's brown hair into her face.
"Crap, I don't think this is supposed to happen!" Raven said franticly as she tried to pull her hands from the circle.
"Raven!" Kawa screamed.
"Kawa!" Raven yelled she turned around to see Kawa being pulled into the TV, in the background of the TV screen seemed to be Wolfs Rain.
"Kawa! I told you not to think about Wolfs Rain! Hurry think about FMA!" Raven shouted trying to be heard over the wind.
"WHAT?" Kawa yelled back.
'Shit!' Raven's mind screamed Raven reached for Kawa, her hand missed by half a centimeter.
"KAWA!" Raven screamed while tears started flowing down her cheeks as Kawa disappeared from sight.
Raven didn't have much more time to grieve over her friend as she felt herself being drawn into the TV. At first Raven grabbed onto the beds leg, holding onto dear life. But she knew it was only a matter of time before she suffered the same fate as Kawa. At the thought of Kawa being gone Raven let go, hoping that she would be able to relocate her.
"I'll find you Kawa, I promise," Raven whispered as she let go to all that was familiar to her, into the world where Fullmetal Alchemist was real.
Raven's room was empty of all its occupants. Everything looked the way it had only hours ago. Leaving no trace of the transmutation circle, the only thing out of place was the notebook that Raven had left on the dresser open towards the page that read the first law of equivalent exchange.
-Kawa-
Kawa opened her eyes. The sky held a polluted look to it with out a cloud in sight just dirty grey sky. She was in the city no doubt about that. It sort of looked like New York, New York but in a futuristic kind of way. The earth around the city was dead and bare. Icy wind tugged her playful.
'No way!' thought Kawa instantly realizing that she was in the world were wolves had been extinct for over two hundred years.
-Raven-
"Ahh!" Raven screamed as a wave of pain hit her. Tears were streaming down her face, blurring her vision. She turned her gaze down towards what seem to be the source of pain seemed to come from. Her left arm had been completely removed, with blood flowing slowly down her side.
'This must be what they were talking about when they mentioned that human kind couldn't gain anything without first giving something in return'
Raven's body had been standing on shaking legs until they couldn't support her anymore; she fell to her knee's skinning them. She turned her gaze towards her surroundings; she seemed to be in a twentieth century environment.
'Well I made it,' Raven thought before passing out on the cold, hard concrete.
Toboe: See you all next chapter loves. I hope you like it. Bye-Bye
