It was close to mid-spring in the Land of the Rising Sun. The cherry blossom trees were starting to bloom and the last of the snow had already melted away. The air was warmer and held a sort of peaceful vibe. By orders of his boss, the Awesome Prussia was able to enjoy all this. He had sailed for many days to reach the faraway Oriental nation. It was a very long and tiring journey to this foreign land. The only one who kept this great German nation company on the long journey was his little brother.
The ship docked at the nearest port after finally spotting the island. After docking the ship, Prussia took some men and his brother to go to the palace. They went thrugh a large crowd of people in a place that seemed to be a market of some sort. There was children laughing, Woman shopping and men selling their goods. While walking, Prussia took notice of beautiful figure passing by in the crowd. His hair was short, cut in a strange way but seemed to make him just the more beautiful. He wore a black military uniform, slightly different from a European uniform. What caught the Prussian's attention the most was the man's eyes. They were very dark but had a shine to them. Germany bumped into his brother when he stopped walking. Prussia staring after the man who was now startingto disappear into the crowd of people.
"Bruder?", the little german called out.
"Huh..oh right...lets go.", Prussia napped out of the daze and continued to the palace. Who was that just now...
The germans were in awe as they reached the palace, home to the Emperor of Japan. The very man Prussia needed to deliver a letter from his boss to. There was many guards surrounding the palace. They wore the same uniform as the man the Prussian saw earlier. One of the guards approached them.
"ここでのビジネスを状態します.", the man in black said. Prussia nodded to one of his men and he have him a piece of paper. Turning back to the guard he read what the paper said mentally before saying them aloud.
"私は私の上司からの注文によってここに手紙を天皇を配布しています.", Prussia said pronuncing each word carefully. He handed the paper the guard for himself to read it. The guard bowed to them before calling over another guard. The two spoke to one another in their native tongue before the first guard addressed them again.
"天皇誰でも、別の日をもう一度来て見えないではないです.", Prussia looked over to one of his men again, waiting for a translation. His translator told him they wanted them to leave because the emperor won't see them. This annoyed the Prussian man.
"I don't care if he doesn't want to see us, I came to deliver this fucking letter and that what I'm going to do!", Prussia shouted at the guard, drawing the attention of the other guards around them. Noticing more guards come over, Prussia drew Germany closer to him, holding protectively. The guards grabbed his men and forcing them to back down. Prussia reached for his sword when a heavenly voice called out to them.
"、何が問題なの停止します!", the Prussian turned from to see the man he passed by earlier standing in the middle of the palace gates. The guards let go of his men and stepped aside. The man from before walked forward to them bowing respectfully. He spoke with one the guards at his side and the guard walked away. The other guards all returned to their posts. The only ones left on the path to the palace was himself, his men, brother and the Oriental man in black. His brother pointed him when he didn't move. Prussia looked down him before addressing the Japanese man. But before he could speak the man spoke first instead.
"I understand that my men have told you my Emperor isn't seeing anyone. I apologize for the inconvenience this must be. Please leave the palace and in the morning tomorrow you may speak with the Emperor.", the man's voice captivated the Prussian. He then realized the man had just spoken his language, not perfectly, but close to it. Germany tugged on his brother sleeve, trying to get his attention. Prussia looked down again and Germany handed him the letter.
"We came here to deliver this letter to you Emperor. My ruler wants a reply", the man nodded and stepped forward alittlemore, taking the letter.
"I'll see to it my lord gets it. Until then stay out of the palce. I'll give his answer when my Emperor has read it. Follow me, I'll take you to an inn where you all may stay till then."
"Wait! A...are you a nation too? Are you Japan", Prussia calls out the man who just turned around.
"Oh, I apologize for my rudeness. Yes I am a nation. The people of the west know me as the State of Japan.", Japan said, bowing to them again.
"Right...Ah I am the Awesome Prussia, and this here his my littlebrother Germany.", the Prussianboasts. Japan nods before signalling for them to follow him. The germansfollow after the Oriental nation into the town again. Japan took them to a large, amazing building. The Asian went in first, telling the others to wait. When he came back out a cute girl was with him.
"This is the Inn keeper,Haruno-san, she'll take you all in for now.", the woman bowed to them as well.
"私に従ってください.", Harunosaid shyly to them. Japan translated what she said before leavingthem. Prussia's men went in side with the woman, leaving Germany outside with his brother who was staring at the man back again. So that is the nation I need to become friends with? You'll be mine soon, Japan...
"Bruder...are you alright?", Germany calls out. Prussia turns around but sitll looks like his in a daze. The blond German frowns at this. "Bruder what is wrong?"
"Huh...nothingGermany, lets go in and get some rest.", the Prussian saying, taking note of how late it was. The sky was multi-colored now. The air was a little chilyas well. Germany nods, taking hold of his brother's hand. They entered the inn together.
It was very late now. The sky was a dark blue and the moon was out. The Inn Keeper brought their dinner to their rooms a little while ago. After they ate Prussia was invited to drink 'sake' with his men at a brothel but turned them down. His mind was preoccupied. Germany sat on his brother's 'futon' reading a Grim Brother's fairtale. Lookingup from his book, he saw his brother sitting on the balcony. Germany gentleset his book down, without losing the page, and snuck up on his brother. Prussia was staring that the moon and watching the sky get darker.
"It's a Prussian Blue now, isn't it bruder.", startling his brother, Germany gave him a shy smile when Prussia turned around.
"Yeah it is. It is also bed time for you.", Prussia saying with an evil grin. The elder brother grabs the smaller brother and lift him up. Laughing like a maniac he lays the blond on the futon, tickling him. Little Germany struggles to get away, laughing non-stop.
"Br...bruder! hahaha le..let go...st stop..i..it hahaha", Prussiacontinued to torture the little German before kissinghis forehead and stopping. The Prussian collapsednext to his little brother, still laughing. Germany smiled, cuddling up next to his brother. Sighing, the Prussia got up. The younger brother looked puzzled at this. "Are you going somewhere bruder?"
"I''m...going to...look around. That lady said there was garden around here.", Prussia said, half to himself.
"Can I go with you?", Germany pleaded with his brother. Prussia shaked his head 'no' but then look at his brother blue eyes. Orginallyhe wanted to be alone to clear his mind but those blue eyes always get the best of him. So he nodded yes to the little German in the end. Prussiagrabbed his coat and Germany did the same. They left the inn and went in search of this garden. The area was beautiful at night as it was in the day. There was fewer people out now and alot of colorful lights shining.
"It's pretty.", Germany muttered. Prussia nodded at his comment. It is very pretty. This land is very strange yet so beautiful. No wonder boss wants to be the first. The brothers walked along the dirt path until they saw asortment of flowers up ahead. They has reached the garden the Inn keeper had told them about earlier at dinner.
~Flashback~
Haruno set down the many dished, full of strange yet yummy looking food. The men dug into the food as soon as she finished pooring their tea for them. Prussia noticed a strange flower in center of the table. Haruno saw this and move closer to him.
"It's a chrysanthemum. They are the national flower of Japan and the symbol of the Royal family.", Haruno, explained in the little german she knew. "The word for chrysanthemum in Japanese is 'kiku'. There is a garden full of these flowers not to far from here."Leaning closer she whisper, "Master Honda goes there alot."
"Honda?", Prussia didn't who she was talking about.
"The man who brought you guys here and payed for your rooms."
"Wait he payed for our rooms too?", the woman nodded before bowing and leaving the room.
"If you need anything just call me."
~End Flashback~
Just like the Inn keeper said, the garden was full of chrysanthemums. Even though there were gates at the entrance of the garden, it was open. The brothers walked along a stone path into the garden, looking at all the different colored chrysanthemums. Germany left his brother's side to look at some red chrysanthemum. Prussiawas about to join his brother until he noticed something move in the corner of his eye. He turned to the left to see a figure standing large tree. The tree had pink buds all over it. Quietly Prussia got close of to see who the figure was. Under the moonlight was the Asian nation. It's Japan! That chick was right, he really does come here. Japan suddenly turned around and Prussia quickly hid behind a tree before he could notice him. Japan glanced at his direction then walked past the tree he was hiding behind. Prussia was about to stop hiding when he heard Japan speaking. The Prussian peered over to where his brother was. He was with the Oriental nation.
"Little one why are you here alone.", Japan asked the German boy. Germany looked up from the flowers to face the Asian man. He took note of that the man wasn't wearing the black uniform anymore but wore blue dress like thing. Asian clothes was so strange to him.
"My bruder took me here. He is somewhere in here.", Germany explained.
"Ah I see. You should go find him. Cute little children are prime targets for demons. ", Japan said with a hint of amusement in his voice.
"Demons?", the blond questioned.
"Yes, there are many in my land. They don't harm me but like to spiritaway young boys and girls. Some are harmless though while others are very scary.", the Oriental antion explained. Instead of looking scared, Germany wanted to know more these demons and the nature of their ways.
"Hmm why don't I help you find your dear. I'll answer your questions along the way.", Japan held out his hand to the German. Germany looked at the hand then at the Asian before taking ahold of his hand. Prussia watched them go in the opposite direction of where he was. He notice Japan was looking his way. The Asian gave him a wink before disappearing into the otherside of the garden. Prussia soon followed after them.
"You're a very curious boy. Does your brother entertain you enough?", the Oriental man asks the calmly.
"Bruder is very good to me but he doesn't always have time for me.", the little German found himself opening up to the Japanese man.
"Ah, I have 3 little siblings. They are always in need of attention. Between our older brother and I, we try to give them all they need. I understand how hard it is to care for a little sibling sometimes.", Germany nodded at this. Prussia finally caught up to them but didn't make his presence known just yet. Japan and Germnay neared a wall, the end of one side of the garden. "Hmm let's go look on the side then." They turned around, seeing Prussia not to far away from them.
"Bruder!", Germany ran over to his brother, taking his hand.
"Danks for looking after him.", Prussia says to the Asian, patting his brother's head.
"It wasn't a bother, though you both should go to bed soon.", Japan says before bowing and turning to leave.
"Stop!", Prussia shouts, halting the man.
"Yes?"
"Did you give him the letter."
"Yes."
"When will he reply?"
"You should receive an answer by the end of tomorrow."
"Good, join me for dinner than."
"What?"
