Aiyaa!

China sneezed into his own sleeve, his face in a knotted expression.

"Yao, I think you need some rest…" Kiku finally suggested.

"I'm fine, aru! Just let me do something!" China was struggling to get out of his bed, decorated with red silk and Hello Kitty plushies. It took all of the Asian siblings to get their elder brother to take his bed rest.

"Aniki! Stop it! I know you'll miss a meeting, but if you need me I'll stay right by your si-"

"No Yong Soo…" China finished his sentence with a sigh. South Korea always tried to show his awkward relationship with his brother.

"Yao, it's just for one meeting, so please…" Taiwan looked desperate to get her elder brother to rest. Tsk- of course she was just acting, but it seems so real sometimes…

"Fine. Just make sure you don't mess up anything for me, yes I'm looking at you Yong Soo."

"Hmph! What would I do?"

"Well, remember that one time when you stuffed-"

"That was a one time thing Kiku! Besides I was dared by some other nations!"

"Don't you mean Peter? He's twelve you know."

"Don't judge me if I like playing truth or dare!"

Slowly the Asian family, minus China, walked out of his house in a huge argument starting from one point, ending to a ridiculously unrelated other. China gave a sigh and turned on the T.V. It was just a minor cold after all; he would get this out of his system in no time. The television's noise rung around the room, and China slowly drifted off to sleep.


We are now boarding, flight 21 Europe.

"Ah!" Japan slightly yelled, just loud enough to catch the flight attendant's attention.

"Oh hello sir, your just on time to get on! Otherwise you would have been late!"

"Yes… I know," He slowly turned around to his other siblings, "please excuse me." Japan sighed a small breath of relief.

"Yong Soo, Kaoru, please don't ever try to sneak into the worker's break room just to try and steal a pilot hat."

"Pff- this isn't the worst we can do Kiku~ You've seen us in worse!"

"Yes," Japan had a disappointed expression on his face, "I know."

"Well, let's go then." Taiwan pointed out the line moving into the plane. They all filed in to one neat line and got into the order of their seats: Japan with Taiwan and South Korea and Hong Kong sitting a row behind them. There was also an empty chair in between Hong Kong and South Korea where China was supposed to sit.

a-a choo!

"Oh, please excuse me! I'm having a bit of a cold." The woman next to Taiwan said.

"It's no problem at all, especially since you were so gracious about it." Taiwan and the woman, who looked about her 40's started to talk about many things like politics and economy. Japan sighed and rubbed his nose. Ah, wait.

"Mein Gott!" Germany shouted above the rest of the bickering nations. "Can't we get anywhere for once?"

"Hey, I always suggest the robot! Right Kiku?" It was more of a statement than a question.

"Y-y-yeh…" Japan softly sneezed trying to agree with America.

"Kiku, don't tell me you have the cold too?" His sister asked him worriedly; though he understood that she was mostly worried he'd have to leave her with Korea and Hong Kong, mostly Korea though.

"I-I'm fine! Just a little cold, it's no wound or anything…" As Japan spoke he was getting a little light headed.

"Bro, your turning pale…" America truly worried, mostly because of his hero complex, decided to take action, "isn't China sick too?"

"Well yes, and there was also the lady on the plane-"

"Oh! You mean Zhen Rong, she was really nice." Taiwan replied.

"Well it's obvious then! Just a little cold from over exposure, did you sit in front of the air conditioning in the plane?"

"Well now that you-"

"Ah hah!" America announced, interrupting Japan's sentence. "It's obviously a little cold and Japan will be fine and be making video games and cars soon as ever!"

"Alfred, could you be at least a little more sensitive?" England was obviously annoyed by America's deduction. "You can come for tea if you want Japan."

"Well, no, because he would rather drink hot chocolate , right Japan?"

"Are you saying that liquid sugar is better than natural tea?"

"Better any day, wherever whenever!" This obviously got on England's nerves. Soon countries where taking sides on whether tea or hot chocolate was better for a sick day. Japan secretly snuck out, and returned home.


Coughing, I was coughing that first day sir.

Do you know anything that pertains to the meeting?

The meeting, it was full of other countries, but-

Well that's enough information out of you. Stay within your area and we'll have the vaccine ready.

Sir, it's very immune to-

Don't worry we have this covered.

Time was running out.
