Okay, I know it's been a while, but Here it is! Chapter 2! I wanted it to be longer, but it's 1:30 and you can't always have it your way. ((Burger king..xD))

And there are * in the story. If you can figure out what the lines in the story according to the * then kudo's to you! :D

Disclaimers: Ouran: Not mine.

Fullmetal: Not mine.

((I wish they were...))

Twisting Times:

A New Time, A New Place.

The first ones to start laughing were the twins.

"Hey boss! We got us some magicians on our hands! And the short one's crying because his trick didn't work!" Hikaru scoffed, grinning evilly. Ed gave him a glare that death wouldn't want to stare in the face.

"Don't. Call. Me. SHORT!" Ed yelled, running into Hikaru. He was about to punch the surprised twin when Al pulled his angry brother away. Kaoru half dragged Hikaru back three feet.

"I'm so sorry. Brother has a temper." Al apologized, his childish voice ringing through his clunky armor. Hikaru glared at Ed and scowled.

"Now now, settle down." Kyouya interjected. "Where did you two say you were from?"

"Resembool. In Amestries*." Ed replied, hoisting himself up. He glared back at Hikaru.

"We were under cen-" Al was interrupted. Honi had decided to take a shot at climbing, and it happened to be on Al.

"Wow Al! You're so big! Come out of the armor so we can see you." He asked, almost commanding.

"N-no! I like my armor!" He exclaimed. Ed had had enough.

"Cut it out! All of you!" Ed yelled. "We're only trying to get something important back!" His expression turned dark.

"Well, would you tell us what you were trying to get back before you destroy the room?" Haruhi asked sarcastically. She needed to leave, and this was cutting out study time.

Ed looked down. He didn't really wan to explain their lives to a bunch of strangers. "Not really."

"Well, can you at least tell us your whole names?" Haruhi tried to get something out of them.

He glared, but said yes. "I'm Edward Elric, and this is Alphonse Elric, my Younger brother." He emphasized younger to get the point across.

"But if Alphonse is younger, then why is he so tall?" Honi wondered. Yet, he himself was a walking contradiction to his own statement*. Mori stopped him from saying more.

"You'll just make it worse." His short statement said it all. Honi shut his mouth.

Meanwhile, Kyouya was looking up Resembool. "I'm sorry, but there is no such place."

"Excuse me?" Ed said, a hint of shock in his voice. Al's head whipped to look at Kyouya.

"I said that Resembool doesn't exist." His voice was cool and calm, almost a hint smugness tucked in the words.

"But, we were just their a few hours ago! We were on a train to central!" Al exclaimed, his voice becoming hysterics.

Ed said nothing. Not a word. His face supported a sad expression. "Winry…Granny…Even Colonel. Everyone…Al, We're never going to see them again." Everyone in the room heard Ed hit the floor. He was shaking again. "We can't get your body back.." The words slipped.

The hosts' eyes immediately turned to Al. "Body?" They all asked together.

Al didn't pay attention to them. He picked up his brother. Al thought he looked weak and frail. Like a young child. Not the state alchemist he had as a brother. He set his brother on a couch in a corner of the room. Then he took of his helmet. The only person not gasping was Haruhi.

"You don't have a body?" She asked rationally. She was a bit confused, but not scared. Tamaki looked as if he would pass out.

Alphonse put his helmet back on and nodded to Haruhi. "Have you ever heard of alchemy?"

The hosts' shook their heads. Al sighed.

"Well, I'll get to that later. Ed and I are alchemists. We transmute things. If you broke a radio, I could fix it* by drawing a design on the floor, and..well, it's hard to explain. I'll just show you." He said. He took a piece of chalk out from under a crease in his armor. He drew a small transmutation circle and pressed his hand to it. Some sparks flew and a tiny wooden bird formed where the circle was. Everyone stared at it, amazed.

"When Brother and I were eleven and ten, our mom died to an epidemic. Our father had left a few years earlier, and we missed mom's voice so much." Al's voice had started to crack by bringing up these harsh memories.

"We tried using Alchemy to bring her back, but it was the taboo. We thought that if did it right it would work, but we learned the hard way that you can't bring anyone or anything back to life once it gives up living." He bent his head down and clenched his fists.

"During the process, I lost my body. Brother transmuted my soul to this armor so I wouldn't be lost to the gate. The thing is, I can't sleep or eat. And if you decided to punch me, you'd be the only one to feel it.." Al explained sadly.

"Brother and I have been trying to get our bodies back since it happened." He said, looking to Ed. His voice was filled with overwhelming grief.

"Wait, you said bodies. Did something happen to Edward too?" Asked Haruhi, still curious and confused.

Al nodded. "Yes, but you should let him tell you. It's about him after all." He added timid laughter.

Honi smiled. "It's nice you and Edward-Chan* have such a brotherly relationship."

"Chan*? Al thought, but ignored it Ed was coming out of his fit. Al sat next to him.

"Are you okay brother? Did you hurt your self?" He asked, worried.

Ed smiled warily. "Yeah, just a bunch of stuff hitting me at once." He grimaced, pulling his gloves on tighter.

It was then that Kyouya spoke again. "Well, you'll need a place to stay for a while until you figure out your situation. You can stay with any of us. We'd be happy to have you." A rare, but faux smile crossed his face. He was scheming something. It most likely included money for the club.

Haruhi piped in. "Sempai, they could stay with me." Tamaki had another near fainting experience. "But Haruhi."

"Sempai, acting like a child will get you nowhere." She said flatly. He huddled in the corner again. She shook her head. "Well? You guys want to stay with me for a few days?"

Ed and Al looked to each other and shrugged. "Sure. As long as it's warm. Brother gets cold very easily." Al teased.

"Oh hush up." Ed said to his brother. But the goofy grin emerged. "At least I don't Hide cats in my gut." He whispered.

Al Laughed. This was more like brother. He saw Ed's eyes and knew the eagerness was back. He knew his brother was determined to get them back to normal. Even if they were stuck in Tokyo, wherever that was, it wouldn't hold them back.

Authors notes: *#1 : Walking Contradiction- Honi is about 18 and is super duper short

*#2 Honi adds Chan onto peoples names for nicknames or for affection. Except Takashi. He's that awesome..xD

*#3 Al Has no Idea what chan mean, let alone why Honi's using it. Poor Al. xD( again)
