So, I realize most of my stories have been short, but meh, i do what I can...actually, I'm working on something bigger, and this stuff is just random things that popped in my head. So enjoy...I guess...

I do not own Hetalia. Never have never will...unfortuantely...

He did't understand what was wrong. He had felt it coming, but he past it aside as another small tremor. But then there was the screaming, then there was the water. The water was coming.

He tried to call the prime minister but he couldn't get through. Nothing was working anymore. His body was now in pain, he struggled to get out of his chair, and when he finally maneged to, he fell onto the floor. This was bad, very bad. How long would it be, before anyone noticed Japan was down? How long would his people endure this, before help came? What if it was to late? 'Please, America-san, please." Japan finally got up, and stumbled out of his office, all around the palace, people were rushing here and there, clearly in a state of panic. "This was the worst earthquake." The emperor said, who had finally come to his side. "And the tsunami hasn't even hit yet."

…

Alfred was with Mattie, the two were busy playing video games, when Alfred's phone rang. "You bloody git! Are you really that dense!" Alfred smirked at the Brit's usual gripy tone. "Whoa, there Iggy! Whats the problem brah?" This time England's words did not make Alfred smirk, but instead worried him. "Its Kiku. Japan justgot hit by the biggest earthquake they have ever had, the tsuanmi has pretty much wiped out some towns and villages, I'm surprised you haven't noticed, what with Hawaii close by. I figured you would at least feel it." Now that Alfred noticed, he was feeling kinda of…dizzy. But nothing he would have worried about. "Oh man, this is bad. I'm sending help now, tell Kiku I'll be over there-" "Alfred, the nuclear power plants that were close by, have also been severley damaged. Radiation is also becoming a serious problem."

Alfred dropped the phone, and darted out of the house, telling Canada to call China. Alfred made a promise long ago, and he wasn't going to break it.

…

He got to Tokyo in records time, rushing to the hospital and immediately demanding to see Kiku. He was shown to a room , where he could see the Japanese man lying on the bed, bandeged up, with bruises here and there. The Emperor, and Prime Minister were also in the room. "Ah, konichiwa, Alfred." Alfred wanted to cry right then and there. Those were the same words Japan had said years before.

1945

Alfred studied the man before him. His white military uniform, now stained with black and red. His hair seemingly burnt at the ends, constant coughing. Japan was really in bad shape after those bombs. "Ah, konichiwa, Alfred." Alfred was shocked. He was expecting Japan to lash out at him or try to kill him in revenge for what happened.

But no it was just a simple "konichiwa"

From that moment he committed himself to Kiku. He made a promise to protect him. To always be there. Alfred didn't want to let Kiku down.

Alfred knew Kiku was afraid of anything nuclear, or radiation related. And seeing him in the hospital bed like that just made the America's heart break. "A promise is a promise." Was all he could say before he fell to his knees sobbing over his friend.

He couldn't protect him.
