Welcome to Gaia! ::

"...Oh come on, can't we have some fun without getting in trouble once and a while?..."Ze said moving slowly away from the group.

"No kidding..."Tsu agreed.

(You know this would be a good time for another Akatsuki member to show up...)

ZeTsu chuckled at the them and couldn't stop.

"...You people are amusing...but seriously we're going..."Ze said looking at the group again.(He was staring at the Gate.)

"We'll see you guys later on. Soon perhaps, depends on our leader's orders..."Tsu said as he turned around and started walking.

"...Oh right, tell some 'Edward' that his 'brother' is with us meaning the Akatsuki...he told us he was in the Leaf. Well till next time. Farewell..."Ze remembered as he glanced back at the group. Then he was gone in the blink of an eye.

Tsunade looked pissed. It could have been caused by one of several things, but she made no sign of letting anyone know what it was. Her head suddenly turned towards Ed and Al. "Brother? How many of you are there?"

Hinata walked over to Shino and Kiba."If there isn't any thing to do then why dosent some body find out what they mean," she said speaking to evry one."It's so boring here. Can we go, Hogage?"

Hinata smiled and ran towards the gate. She then changed direction and went to get some supplies.

If there was one thing the boys knew as soon as the sudden intruder was found, it was they were far outclassed in a battle between ninja. If the creepy..plant...man?...thing...could hide underground, he was probably a ninja. And so, the Elrics decided to hang back a bit for this one and just see what would happen.

When the stranger turned to leave they both gave a little sigh of relief. Only to draw it back in again when one simple word reached their ears. Brother? Brother? There were only two of- No... Edward stiffened as the color drained from Alphonse. The elder of the two muttered a curse, flinching when Tsunade turned her attention to them. "Its...it's a long story..."

The two nodded when ordered to the office and answered in unison "Yes, ma'am..." The first real sign of respect out of Ed since he'd arrived.

(You can make one. Just title it Aburame Household)

'I hope they don't forget they have a mission with Hinata' Tsunade led the elrick brothers away to her office, leaving Sakura alone.

((...I just realized when I was redoing my old guild and changing everything...that the training grounds are acutally inside the village, meaning Sasuke and Saito would have been noticed by the Sesory. My bad. I'll just pretend they somehow slipped by or something.))

Sharing a quick glance, the boys sighed lightly and followed after Tsunade. There was only one other person..creature, really...that could ever claim to share blood with the Elrics. They thought he'd been left back in that odd world they'd finally managed to escape from, but, apparently, they'd been wrong.

Ed had had a split second where he almost believed it was a bluff. A bad joke to escape on, then he remembered the flash of movement he'd spotted when they first exited the gate. He had written it off as nothing worth worrying about, assuming it had been Konohamaru just before the boy crashed down on top of him. Now,though, he wasn't so sure.

Al was lost in a worried silence. If Envy had crossed the gate then that would mean more trouble for this world. After the havoc wreaked in Amestris and what the other-world people called Germany, the younger brother could only imagine what was in store for Konoha. Not to mention the fact the homunculus seemed to have joined up with yet another evil sort of group.

And so, preoccupied with their own thoughts, the brothers followed the village leader in silence.
