Kitsune here with the ususal. You know, I've never done a discamer for this story I think. Is it to late now to disavow any ownership I wonder? Well...I own the account this story is hosted under, and the idea, as well as any really random and amazing ideas contained therin. As for FMA and Naruto, Well, I own the Animes, and some liceneced stuff (incuding a Naruto doll given to me by a friend at NYCCCon2011 at the VIZ panel when she got it and I didn't), but I don't own them, obviously. I'm not quite that amazing. Yet.

"Thanks and Thanks AGAIN!" to all my readers, favers, reviewers, C2rs, and Alerters...And yet no one has told me what series that line is from. I know at least SOMEONE knows it.

I'm horrible, so you people won't be seeing this chapter until the next one is typed up. This chapter is a little Omake-like, but it really isn't. It's necessary for the plot, I swear.

Question of the chapter

"What anime chatacter's death affected you the most?" And I'm talking about someone who stayed dead. I've got a few who didn't exactly stay dead...but for staying dead, L from deathnote, Ace from One Piece, and Wolfwod from Trigun come to mind (I had a friend who was crushed when Legato died, but I didn't feel it, really.)

_*&*&*_POV ROY_*&*&*_

Mustang looked back and forth between the two shinobi. Kakashi looked completely stunned by Killer Bee's words. "Who, or what is a 'Madara?'" Roy asked, feeling a headache coming on. "And do I really want to know?"

"Probably not." Kakashi answered quickly, "Since he's supposed to have died a really long time ago. Are you sure, Bee?"

"There just ain't no killin' a real good villain. Rumour has it he was Mizukage for a bit, but he wasn't a real hit."

"Well now, this could be a problem. If Madara is behind all this, he'll be coming after the both of you as soon as we find a way to return home. Any chance you know why he's doing all this?"

"You fool, why would I have a clue?"

Roy sighed, turning to his friends, "Notice how they didn't answer my question at all?" He almost whined, "THIS is why I warned you not to try and beat answers out of him, Olivier. You think they're annoying now? At least they're not trying to be difficult."

"I see. I take it this is normal behaviour then?" She glared at the ninja, "How does your country get anything done?"

"That's countries." Killer bee quipped, "Indoctrination at a young age, and the threat of instant death for disobeying orders for Konohagakure, right?"

"We don't indoctrinate our youth. Your 're thinking of Iwagakure And every village has that rule for missing nin. Our Hokage, or at least, the last three, were willing to hear why you disobeyed orders first. Unlike other Kage's I could mention."

"The last three?" Bee cocked his head to the side, "What happened to the lady known as Tsunade?"

"Pein."

Both men stared at each other in silence with the three Amstrians looked on. Finally Olivier couldn't take it any more, much to Roy's amusement. "Men and their stupid pissing contests." She rolled her eyes, "Enough! I get that your, what did you call them? Villages? What a stupid name..." Olivier began, pounding the table, "I get you are not normally on the same side, but don't you think right now you have bigger things to worry about then who can be more secretive? It's time to man up and work together!"

"Me work with Konoha, I'll tell you right now, I really don't wanna!"

"I wasn't asking!" She snapped, "YOU WILL work with them, or I WILL kill you. AND ENOUGH WITH THE LAME RAPPING!" She turned on Kakashi, "Now EXPLAIN to him RIGHT NOW so we're all on the SAME PAGE, or I will SHOOT you."

"Yes ma'am." Kakashi gulped, "Pein attacked Konoha looking for Naruto, who wasn't there. He was undergoing special training for Sage mode, so you better not take him lightly, Bee. Anyway, Tsunade fought with him and became injured before Naruto arrived. Of course, Naruto was able to eliminate the threat, and convinced Pein to revive all those he had killed all in the span of an hour or so."

Bee nodded, "New record?"

"For length of time, no, but on sheer scale, yes." Kakashi continued, "Anyway, do to Tsunade being in a coma temporarily, Danzo was put in charge. We're working on rectifying that right now. Of course, with the time difference, it may already be taken care of."

"I see. She's alright then?"

"Wide awake and waiting to beat the crap out of Naruto."

Bee laughed, "That sounds just like the princess. You know, A once asked her out? She put him though a wall."

"Oh, so she was being polite about it then." Both men laughed, tension gone. "Anyway, to answer your earlier question, Mustang, Madara was one of the founders of my village. He's supposed to have been dead for a really long time though. I'll have to send a message back and warn everyone. Bee, I'll send word that we found you as well."

"Err...To save my behind, would you mind...?"

Kakashi smiled, "I'll just tell the truth. Since you were abducted in a similar manner to Naruto's you've been attempting to find a way back to your brother's side. I'll inform them that we've decided to team up and find a way home."

"In the mean time, let's get you settled, Killer Bee." Mustang smirked, "After all, you wouldn't want to turn down this lovely lady's hospitality, now would you?"

"Me? Wouldn't dream of it!"

_*&*&*_Time Skip_*&*&*_

Roy had been on his way to meet up with Olivier and their less-then welcome guests the next morning when he'd realized he'd forgotten all his files back on his nightstand. He'd briefly thought about going back and getting them, or better yet, finding a grunt to go, but a solution presented itself quite readily in the form of one older Elric walking with that silver-haired bastard. After all, his room was all the way on the other side of the fort (Or, in reality, just right down the hall.)..."Edward! So nice to see you."

The blond gave him a dirty look, "What do you want, Mustang?"

"Why do you assume I want something? Can't I just be happy to see my favourite former subordinate?"

"No." The blond huffed, "Out with it already! Kakashi-San and I were going over the intracises of Genjutsu."

"Fascinating, I'm sure." He felt Ed's glare and chose to ignore it, instead watching as Kakashi slowly meandered down the hall towards the meeting place.. "That reminds me...I seem to have forgotten my files on the nightstand. Mind getting them for me?"

"Yes, I DO mind, you jerk! I don't work for you any more! Why the HELL should I be your errand boy?"

Mustang just smirked, "Because you are my errand boy."

It was just like old times, bullying the younger man into doing what he wanted until Ed had stomped away in a huff. "You son of a..."

"If you don't hurry, you'll be late for the meeting..."Roy didn't even bother to stick around and wait, instead he continued on his merry way. Or he had been until he'd heard the ungodly shriek and a series of loud bangs and thuds coming from his room. His heart froze. "ED!" He spun, almost flying back towards his room, only mildly surprised that Kakashi was at the door before him. The man put up his arm, preventing Mustang from entering the room. "MOVE!"

"You don't want to go in there. Trust me on this." The silver haired man wasn't smiling for a change as he held the now distraught Brigadier general back and firmly shut the door.

"Oh god. Ed...Edward! Are you alright?" Roy imagined everything that could have possibly have happened that would cause the man to prevent him from entering the room, and felt sick when he got no answer. "FUCK! MOVE YOU ASSHOLE!" He attempted to punch Kakashi unsuccessfully, "ED! ANSWER ME NOW DAMNIT!"

"N...Nughnn..."

The relief Roy felt was unimaginable as he sagged against Kakashi, "Oh Thank You God." He sighed as his relief turned to rage. "Why the hell did you shut the door?" He snarled at Kakashi, hating the man's very existence. "I thought he was dead!"

"Ehgh..." Another moan came from the other side of the door, full of a strange pain.

"Ed, I'm coming in, just wait, alright?" He glared at Kakashi, "Now move, or I'll burn you to a crisp, truce or no."

"Oh...Roy, you really don't wanna open that door!" Ed shouted from the other side. "Don't worry, I'm not hurt, but, trust me...It's horrible...It's like...a transmutation gone horribly wrong but worse...What the hell happened?"

Mustang eyed the doorknob for only a moment before looking at Kakashi, daring the man to stop him. The Jonin just shrugged, "Don't say I didn't warn you, then."

The knob turned surprisingly easily, opening into a room that really did look like a transmutation gone wrong. The furniture seemed to have imploded, the lamp and linens, not to mention his cloths were stuck to the ceiling and walls, and he was pretty sure that when he'd left the room this morning there had NOT been a goat. Everything was covered in litres and litres of thick purple goo. In the middle of it all stood a very disgruntled Ed who was trying to keep the very happy goat from eating the amazingly fine file."Purple's a good colour for you, Ed."

"Screw. You." The purple covered youth fumed as he curled his lip.

"What the hell happened in there?" Roy asked, noticing Kakashi actually covering his mouth he revised the question, "What are you doing?"

"Wait till the smell hits you, then you'll see." The man said cryptically. "Honestly, I was expecting Naruto to do this sooner. After what you did, well, be thankful it's a relatively harmless prank."

"What..." Mustang began just as the smell, the stench hit him. "OH GOD. That's Horrible! What IS that?" he gasped. " Oh, hell, you call that harmless?"

"Well," The man shrugged one shoulder, "At least this one probably won't kill you..."

"Wait, has he done this to people before?" Ed asked, horrified.

"Well, usually the goo is orange." Kakashi chuckled, "He was the number one village prankster growing up. Most of the pranks were harmless, but I heard that before Iruka got to him they were getting dangerous. Ah, by that, I mean they could have possibly maimed or potentially killed a civilian. Afterwards...well he usually only targets other shinobi now, so it's a bit harder to judge, but there's been no lasting physical damage from his pranks."

"That doesn't make it harmless, you know..." Gasped out Roy as Olivier came running with Hawkeye, Armstrong, Al, Killer Bee, and a laughing Naruto.

"Aw man, Sorry, Ed, I thought Match-bastard for sure would be the first one back in the room..." The blond laughed, "Eh, oh well. Pretty wicked prank, huh, Kakashi-sensei?" He was apparently the only one not bothered by the horrid stench that Roy was sure he was going to have nightmares about for the rest of his life.

Oliver glared at the boy before pointing at him with the one hand not covering her mouth, "YOU! You will clean this mess up!"

"Yeah yeah, I expected that..." The blond continued to grin.

"SMELL and all!" She snarled, "I'll deal with you later." She looked at Ed with an expression that was equal parts disgust and pity, "You, shower, now. Left wing. If there's anyone else there, kick them out. I'll have someone bring you more soap and shampoo."

"Try some tomato juice mixed with sake." Kakashi put in, "It helps cut down on the smell." Everyone looked at him, "no, you really don't want to know why I know that."

"Alright then. Alex, take Roy and Kakashi to the officer showers. I don't want to see any of you till you smell better."

"I know this stink is making it kinda hard to think, but we two need something to do." Killer Bee grinned, holding his nose and nudging Al with his elbow.

"You can either help the blond idiot clean up, or join the others in the shower."

Don't mean to be dower but I'm gonna shower." Bee laughed, "You?"

"I'll go with brother...Unless you need a hand Naruto?" Al asked, cringing at the thought, though he tried to hide it.

In response Naruto laughed, "Nah, don't worry about it. Prank rule number four, you get caught, you clean it up. I'm used to this, and with my shadow clones, it'll be done in a lot less time." He waved them all off, "But the look on your faces...Oh-boy...totally worth it."
