Who Is She?
Natalia sat in her room pondering over where her brother ran off to. She had made breakfast for him this morning, only to find that he was nowhere in the house and he had left no note for her. She decided to scold him and force him to tell her where he went.
"Nii-san." She mumbled softly looking over the pictures that cover her walls. One Ivan, Katyusha, and her in Moscow. Wait! Brother said something about a meeting with Japan in Moscow? Natalia quickly put on her shoes and coat making her way to the large city.
MEANWHILE IN MOSCOW
Kiku and Ivan are sitting in the small room going over terms that they could agree on over the dispute of the Kuril Islands.*
"Russia-san, those Islands were mine me till you attacked and took over them, evicting 17,000 of my people." Kiku stated, becoming aggravated with the bleach-blond male sitting across from him.
"But the Islands belong with me now, da. And I offered to give back to you some of the smaller islands, Japan." Ivan replied, putting on a smile. "It's no longer a topic to discuss. We had a peace treaty once before, da. Why don't you just forget about the islands and sign, Japan?"
"The islands that you took created the northern part of my country. And the island that you want to give back made up only 7% of the total land mass. I have no intention of forgetting about them." Kiku stated, fighting back his anger.
"Then we have nothing more to talk about, da." With those words said Ivan collected his stuff, leaving a very pissed off Kiku sitting alone in the room. Kiku watched Ivan leave before he started collecting his things. As Kiku got up to leave the door swung open, and a woman with long platinum-blond hair stormed in.
"NII-SAN!" She screamed and stopped, scanning the room before locking her eyes on Kiku.
Kiku blushed a soft pink, and the woman scowled at him.
"Where's my Nii-san?" She asked sharply.
"Russia-teme?"** Kiku asked.
She stood there for a moment. The woman glared at Kiku. "Where is he?" She snarled.
"H-he just left." Kiku stuttered, not out of fear, but more out of embarrassment.
She turned and ran out, shouting 'Nii-san' as she went. Kiku stayed behind, flustered over the woman that he saw as beautiful. Having already collected all of his stuff, he hurried out the door to report the meeting to his boss.
Natalia ran down the thin corridor, hoping that she might be able to find her brother soon. Why didn't he get her before he went to the meeting? She decided to scold him when she finally found him.
RUSSIA'S HOUSE
Ivan walked through the door, quite pleased with how the meeting went. However, his boss would be mad that the treaty between Japan and Russia had still not been signed. But at the same time, Ivan's boss didn't want to give up the Kuril Islands.
Russia walked to his office, not wearing his usual cheerful-like smile. He was troubled, and felt like something bad was going to happen. Once safely in his office the locked the door and blocked it with a chair, making sure that if Natalia decided to attack him he would be safe for a little while.
Russia flashed back to that last time he was locked in his office. Natalia hitting and scratching at the door as he hid behind his desk. Shivering and trying to block out her words while hoping that the door would keep her from getting in. Before he heard something crash into the desk. Looking back towards the door to see that Natalia had broken the door knob and was going to enter his office. She started chanting. Marry me, marry me, marry me.
Ivan sat down in his chair, shivering over the memories of his little sister tormenting him. She was cute, yes. But he just didn't think of her as anything more than a little sister… A scary little sister. He wished that she would set her sights and fall in love with someone other than him.
"Gah… Natalia, why can't you leave be, da? You are better off with someone completely different from me, da." He muttered out loud.
""Nii-san, Nii-san." Natalia's voice rose from the other side of the door, along with a rattling doorknob. Ivan shivered and hid under his desk.
"G-GO H-HOME NATALIA!" He screamed, terrified, shivering and praying that she wouldn't get in.
"Remove the door that separates us. We are destined to marry, Nii-san." She said, laughing evilly.
Ivan felt like he was about to cry, and waited till his sister broke in, hoping she would give up before then.
KIKU'S HOUSE
Kiku arrived home and decided he should take a bath before reporting to his boss. As he stepped into the hot spring water, a picture of the woman that stormed into the meeting room flashed through his mind.
He had so many questions. The main one that ran through his mind was: Who was she? Why do I keep thinking of her? Was she looking for Russia or someone else?
He couldn't get the platinum blond goddess out of his head. He shook his head in an attempt to clear his mind, but to no avail.
Getting out of the bath, he stumbled over to the phone to call his boss.
After that he laid down in bed, falling into an almost restless sleep.
Who is she? Who is she?
