Alright! This is my first fanfiction on this site! I'm kind of excited, I don't know how good this will be but I hope you enjoy it.

It is a murder mystery so I hope you try and figure it out and I also hope it isn't to obvious. ;) Enjoy!

Chapter One- A Formal Invitation

Dear Honda, Kiku

Japan~

It would be my dearest pleasure if you would come to visit me at my home for some tea and a formal dinner. I've have been wishing to meet you for some time now and I'd be most delighted if you'd come. If it is no trouble of course. I am expecting you on my own island just off the coast of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

I expect you to be here by Noon, three days from when you shall receive this letter. It should be the fourth of May. Coordinates shall follow, should you decide to come.

If it is no trouble, please send a reply with your currier within a day of receiving this letter. I await your reply with open arms and an eager heart.

Sincerely,

Taha, Defer

Japan's eyes glided over the raised gold lettering as he read the invitation over and over again. No one sent him invitations like this. Even people who did want to get in touch with him contacted him much differently. Even if it was formal he hadn't seen a letter like this in a very long time.

He ran his thumb over his name. Whoever this person was knew his name and knew he was a Nation Representative. That intrigued him, the only other people who knew his name were the other Nations, his boss and perhaps some other Nations bosses.

He wracked his brain thinking of the name over and over again, Taha? Taha? He'd certainly remember a name like that. He couldn't think of any other Nation with that particular name. He couldn't think of any humans he knew with that name either.

It didn't make much sense and he was getting more intrigued by the minute. Should he go? It's not as though he had any plans on May fourth.

A soft cough snapped his consciousness back to what was in front of him. The currier stood in front of him looking down at the floor, his hand stretched out, waiting for a reply.

"Ah, yes, sorry. Please send a return retter; I would much rike to meet this Mr. Taha." The other man nodded slowly and took the letter from his hands. He put it into one of his bags and stiffly walked away.

Japan slid the door shut. He couldn't blame the kid for being nervous. He delivered mail directly to him. He was aware he was a Nation Representative and the fact probably terrified him. The public didn't know much about them at all. In fact no one really did.

How could a country be a place and a person? It didn't make sense and he himself didn't understand it sometimes. He'd learned to accept it however. After thousands of years one didn't have much choice but to accept what they were.

He sat down slowly and leaned his arms onto his knees. He rubbed his temples trying to wrack his memory. He honestly couldn't think of any person who'd want to meet him, and who knew his human name. I'm probably worrying about nothing. He wasn't one to over react; even he knew that, it was probably just a curious citizen interested in meeting a Nation. Although if that were the case wouldn't he have asked Arthur instead of him?

Perhaps he wasn't the only one invited at all?

Japan walked over to his phone and punched in the seven digit phone number and area code, he heard the line ring. Once…twice…three times before someone picked up.

A distinct yawn was heard on the other end of the line. "Japan? Do you know what time it is here? This better be important." Japan mentally smiled at the irritated British tone that greeted him through the line.

"Konnichi wa Arthur. Sorry to bother you at this hour, but I was wondering if you had received any unusuar retters rately?" He calmly spoke through the phone hoping England could understand him with his mind still groggy from sleep.

"Hm? Unusual…letters?" Japan could hear him sitting up through the line. There was a moment of silence before he replied. "Do you mean an invitation perhaps?"

So I wasn't the only one! Japan thought to himself. Interesting. This made him wonder if perhaps more Nations were invited to go as well. How did this Taha know of them? Well, him and Arthur for certain. His train of thought was interrupted when England spoke into the phone again.

"Japan? Are you still there?"

"Sorry Arthur. Was rost in a train of thought. Hai, an invitation is exactry what I mean." Japan rushed to apologize, having forgotten he was still on the phone.

"You received one as well? I thought I was the only one. From a Mr. Defer? Is that right?" Any grogginess in England's voice had vanished. Clearly he was as intrigued about this whole matter as Japan was.

"Hai. Right."

"I agreed to his terms. I can't think of how he would have known my name. My full name at that!"

"I agreed too. This is quite interesting isn't it Arthur?"

"Quite. I shall see you there in three days then. Good day Japan." With that last remark Japan could hear the phone on the other end click down onto the receiver. Japan hung his phone up soon after.

Well then Taha, it seems we have a dinner.

"You sent out the invitations, correct?" The voice on the other end of the phone scratched through a voice changer. Should anyone be listening to their conversation right now they would be unable to pick out either a voice or an accent. They could track their locations of course but it wasn't easy to track a Representative.

"Of course I did." Speaking back to my partner through my own voice changer I heard a small chuckle on the other end of the line.

"This is going to be quite interesting should they show up. It's going to be quite the show." The voice laughed harsh and cold through the voice changer and I pulled my ear away from the phone as the sound grated against my nerves.

I grinned even though he couldn't see me. "This is going to be such, fun." I airily breathed the last word. How exciting! The Nation Representatives all together at one time? What could possibly go wrong?

For them many things, but of course,

They didn't know that.

The action doesn't start for a little while yet. Please be patient!

Sorry if writing in accents is confusing, it just helps me get into character a little bit better.

Hopefully the next chapter will be a bit longer for you!
