It was already night when the World Conference ended. Yao stood up stretching his arm "Nothing ever changes…." he muttered to himself. The World Conference was still as loud as he remembered with America blabbing like he still a kid and the constant bickering of France and England which never ends well. 'Why can't they just be mature?' he asks himself before he left the Conference hall. He was on the way to the door when "Yao-san!" a familiar voice called him so Yao turned around to see his brother "Kiku! aru" Yao said while smiling at the young nation. Kiku looked at Yao with his emotionless face the silence continued until Kiku opened his mouth to say something "Do you want to stay over at my place for a while Yao-san…" Yao looked shock at Kiku sudden invitation but he just smiled at him "That would be nice. aru" Kiku just nod and started to walk Yao followed with a smile on his face 'When was the last time I went to Kiku house?' he asked himself remembering memories that made his smile fade. It was already midnight when Kiku was awaken by a quite noise "W-who's their?" he ask the he heard the voice again "Don't hurt him…" the voice said "H-hurt?! Hurt who?" Kiku was already shaking he was afraid so he went to Yao side to try and wake him up but before he did he heard it again "Stop it right now… aru" Kiku stop shaking the last part the voice said was familiar so looked over Yao's sleeping face he noticed Yao was sweating and it looked like he is having a bad dream. Kiku stared at Yao face "Yao-san…." He started shaking Yao to wake him up "Kiku why? Aru…." Kiku's eyes widen 'What does he mean?' he was thinking while looking at Yao face "K-Kiku…. His family…" Kiku suddenly remember something from the past.

It was a place that Kiku could clearly remember it was raining that day the sky was so dark and the ground was covered with the blood and corpse of dead Japanese and Korean soldiers. There stands him and from a far distance stood Yong Soo who had a few scars on his military uniform. "If you don't give up you'll die and Yao-san wouldn't like that…" Kiku said as he pointed his katana at the Korean. Yong Soo bites his lip and said "I will never surrender to you! da-ze!" Yong Soo looked serious "If that is what you wish then-" "Kiku stop it right now! aru" the two countries looked upon to their older brother who was standing before them "Aniki! da-ze!" that was all Yong Soo could say before he landed on his knees because of the gripping pain he held in. Kiku kept his silence as he looked at the older nation. "Why are you here Yao-san?" Kiku asked "To stop this nonsense and bring back my two little brothers…" Yao answered with a smile on his face "So please stop this nonsense and let's just go home…." Yao continued "Aniki…." Yong Soo replied then both nations heard a loud laugh they turned their attention to Kiku "Your joking are you Yao-san" Kiku said while laughing "Do you really think everything will go as you plan…." Kiku continued looking at Yao with his emotionless face "What?" Yao was really confused I mean come on what?! Kiku looked how confused his older brother was and smiled at him with the most sadistic grin Yao's eyes widen "You're not Kiku.. aru" Kiku's smile disappeared and turned into a frown "What do you mean Yao-san?" Kiku asked "Kiku… never smile because of ones pain… Who are you? Aru" Yao said that made Kiku laugh again "This is me Nii-sama… So just be a good Nii-san and watch me beat this fool" Kiku said pointing at the weakened Korean.
\\Flashback ended/
Japan started to shake his head he didn't want to remember what happened next. He took a deep breath and stared at how his older brother was having this kind of horrible nightmare brought about by the past 'Does this constantly happen to Yao-san?' he ask himself like he knows the answer 'Does Yao-san always dream about what I did? I did it I brought this painful memory to him it's my fault…. Yao-san must hate me….' he continued to think like that not knowing that tears where dropping from his eyes to Yao's sleeping face. Yao felt something cold dropping on his face in the midst of his dream he opened his eyes seeing the crying Japanese beside him he stood up rubbing his eyes "What's wrong Kiku. Aru Why are you crying?" he ask while looking at his little crying brother "Don't cry aru..." he said while patting the boy's head. Kiku's eyes widen and he bit his lips "Kiku aru?" then Kiku put the older nation into a tight hug "Gomenazai…." he muttered while more tears escaped his eyes "Kiku?" Yao was really confused at the sudden action of his little brother "I'm really sorry Yao-san…." Kiku's voice really sounded guilty "… For what? Aru" Yao asked "For hurting you and Yong Soo back then…" Kiku hugged Yao tighter. Yao let out a little giggle the Kiku released him from his tight hug. Kiku looked at Yao who was smiling brightly "You don't have to say that Kiku." he replied "But… I'm sure you hated me because of what I did! I betrayed my own family!" Kiku stated "Hate you..." Yao's smile turned into a frown "How could I hate you… The little boy that I cared for" Yao continued and the smile that Kiku first saw in the Bamboo Forest.
"We're Brothers no matter what happens." Yao stated with his relaxed smile "Now let's go back to sleep shall we aru." A small smile formed in Kiku lips as he nodded and went back to sleep he was relief that Yao did not hate him for what he did to them before. Kiku had dreamt of the memories he had with Yao and the others. It was nice too see how happy they were. With Mei and Yong Soo fight each other. Jia Long was just silently watching the two. While he and Yao where sitting in the porch drinking tea it was a beautiful scene to see. Kiku woke up from his sleep he looked at the clock it was 7 in the morning he looked over at Yao's side. Yao was still asleep Kiku smiled why looking at the sleeping country "Yao-san is right…. Brothers no matter what" Yao was actually smiling that's what made Kiku think 'What could Yao be dreaming?' his smile became brighter.
