So I wanna try this. I'm still new to this genre. I just wanna know if anyone finds this interesting. (unedited)
If you know Noblesse, you'll realize that I patterned some characters from them ^^
.::.
"Number 1 speaking. Number 1 speaking."
"Shit," Lovino hissed as he heard Gilbert's ever obnoxious voice from his earbuds.
"Is there a problem, Mr. Vargas?" the teacher, Mrs. Edelstein glanced sternly at him upon hearing him curse.
"Bathroom..." the Italian answered quietly as he slipped from his armchair to go outside the classroom. He secured the last stall on the CR and switched on his microphone.
"Bastards, what's the problem this time?"
"Ahh, finally, Number 4? Took you so long," a silky voice rich with French accent spoke from the line. God, how Lovino hated that voice.
"Morons! I'm in the middle of the class!"
"There, there Lo- I mean, Number 4. It's alright," this time, it was a Spaniard's voice from the line. Anto- no, Number 3's voice did not just made the Italian blush.
"Okay, now that Number 4 has delayed us so much already ("It's your fault for alerting me while I'm at school, assholes!") I'll explain our next mission," the Prussian announced. "You remember the Japanese transfer student last week? Wes- I mean the Boss asked me to do a background check on him this morning and I found out that all his credentials were fake. Whatever his agenda might be, it still makes the Boss very wary and so he asked us to interrogate him."
"Ahh, is that so?" Number 3 asked, sounding more dumb this very second.
"He's your classmate, right Number 4?" the French bastard (Number 2, in case you haven't figured out) asked.
"S-Si," answered the Italian. He racked his brains about the mission. The target, if his memory does not trick him, Kiku Honda, is a very timid looking guy. He was one of the few persons that Lovino can tolerate, so it will be a pity if they had to dispose the suspicious guy. But his job calls for it. "I'll go meet him after class."
"No, Lo- Number 4. You can't do it alone," the Spaniard snapped. "It could be dangerous."
Lovino raised his eyebrows at the remark.
"I can handle myself-"
"Number 3's right. We still have no idea of his true identity. He might be stronger than we could imagine," explained Number 2.
"So, I'll have to wait for you first?"
"No, Number 4. The angle we are looking at is... Since he transferred specifically in your class... That he might be targetting the children," said Number 1.
"Well, shit," grumbled Number 4.
"Your job is to make sure you secure all the children home while we take care of him. You can follow up later."
"O-Okay."
"Well, then, back to our jobs," Number 1 proclaimed.
"See you later, Number 4~" cooed Number 3.
"Yeah, bastard."
Lovino switched off his mic and went out of his stall. At the same time, three other guys went out the other cubicles. They look so badass, coming out of their cubicles.
From the first cubicle was Mr. Gilbert Bielschmidt, the computer teacher and brother of the School Chairman. He has albino features- white hair, pale skin and red eyes. He went straight to the mirror to admire his own reflection for a while.
The next guy was a blonde Frenchman by the name of Francis Bonnefoy. He is the school doctor and probably the reason why so many girls suddenly get sick many times a day. He also went straight in front of the mirror and fixed his tie.
The guy from the stall before Lovino's was the school Agricultural teacher / gardener, Antonio Fernandez Carriedo. He is also the adviser of the Gardening Club in which Lovino is a member. He turned to greet his favorite Italian.
"Hola~ Num- I mean Lovi~"
And then there's Lovino Vargas, a second year high school student, who is also a secret undercover agent, together with his pals on the phone a while ago hired by the Boss to secure the safety of the Hetalia Academy students.
"Ciao... I'm returning to class."
"Okay, take care!"
On a side note... Never question why the four of them still made use of the microphones and earbuds when apparently, they are in the same place at the same time. It's just their style, okay?
When Lovino arrived at the classroom, his eyes quickly found Kiku. He was pleasantly talking with Arthur. It's hard to imagine that quiet and innocent looking guy to have ulterior motives.
"Woah, Lovino. It took you so long in the CR! You took a dump?" asked Alfred, in a very loud voice that half of the class glanced back at the Italian.
"Fuck you, Alfred."
"And you didn't deny it! HAH!"
"That's rude, Alfred..." Matthew whispered from beside the noisy American which obviously was unheard.
Lovino slumped his head on the table. To think that these are the kinds of guys that he is protecting...
Well, it doesn't matter if Lovino is supposed to risk his life for an annoying American douche. His mission is absolute. Besides, it's actually his fault that Alfred, Matthew and Arthur is in danger even if the three blondes are unaware of it.
"Well, don't worry my dear friend, because Alfred the Hero does not think too badly of people who takes a dump at school when they can't help it!" Alfred proclaimed as if he is running for election. But then, he leaned closer to the Italian and whispered such that only Matthew and Lovino could hear him. "So, how's that? The teacher probably believes that show now and won't give you detention 'bout being so slow in returning to class," he winked. "I mean, we all know that we want to skip this class if not only for that frying pan of hers."
Okay. Lovino takes back his mental rant earlier. He is definitely willing to give his life for his friends.
"You look really good when you smile, Lovino," Matthew murmured. Oh so he was smiling? Damn. He morphed his usual scowl, ignoring his warming cheeks.
"Dude... You look like a-"
"I've had enough of tomato bastards telling me that I look like a tomato so dare finish that sentence and I'll burn all McDonald's in South Italy so you'll never have burgers when I let you visit my house."
"Maybe before you burn all McDonald's in your hometown, you should listen to your lessons first," whispered a Hungarian voice from behind them.
.::.
"Number 4 here. I'll be much more late. Detention."
"What the hell Number 4?" Number 1 snarled from the line that Lovino winced at his loud voice from the receiver.
"Well your Hungarian crush got me!"
"Okay. I got the point," the Prussian quickly said. Lovino swore that Gilbert shuddered. Everyone knows that no one messes with Elizabeta Herdevary-Edelstein. "Just make it quick."
"I wish I could..." the Italian said sarcastically.
"Well whatever. It's not like we actually need your help."
"What the fuck? Fine! I won't come later! Bitch!"
Lovino cut the line and kicked the cubicle door. But as he went out of the CR, he met Kiku.
"Konnichiwa, Lovino-san."
"C-Ciao," Lovino was quite startled. He is talking to his supposed target. Isn't that comfortable?
"It's a pity you'd gave to stay behind, right?" Kiku commented nonchalantly, though his words hit Lovino in a bad way.
"Yeah," he answered shortly and warily.
"Well, then, I guess I have to take my leave."
The Japanese guy walked off, leaving a still uncomfortable Italian. He still can't brush the thought of Kiku getting ambushed unprepared or not.
"B-Be careful," Lovino suddenly said.
Kiku glanced back and smiled at the Italian, giving him a small wave before going.
Shit. This is not how he's supposed to act.
"Is there a problem, Lovino?" Matthew asked when the Italian returned to the detention room with an intensified frown. See Lovino's usual hate face? Double that.
"No."
"I certainly hope to differ," Arthur snapped irritatedly. He and Matthew were somehow dragged into the punishment (cleaning the classroom) since Alfred begged them to. And who is Arthur to refuse his cute little step brother? Anyway, it is good for Lovino to have all three of them with him while the other three agents ambushes Kiku Honda.
"Fine! I'm not fine! Happy?" Lovino said as annoyed.
"It does not bring me happiness to know you aren't fine."
"Well, no shit."
"Uhmm, if we could all just clean together so that we can go home now..."
Crash!
"Jeez! This bookshelf sure falls too easily! Haha!" Alfred cheerfully announced when he emerged from the rubble.
"You idiot! You're just making things worse!" the Italian went to the crash site to fix the fallen shelf when-
Crash!
"Oh, not you, too!" Arthur facepalmed. Matthew just shrugged and did what his brother abd Lovino obviously can't do.

(*quotations with asterisk are only heard by Antonio through his communication device)
(Number 1 is currently inside an abandoned building with his laptop; he successfully hacked the town's security cameras, giving him an almost full view of the town)
(Number 2 is on another tall building with his sniper gun, strategically positioned to see every nook of the town)
"Good afternoon," Antonio politely greeted the passing Japanese, blocking his way.
"Konnichiwa," Kiku Honda bowed deeply. "I've been expecting you."
*"So he really has a hidden motive. Interesting," said Number 1.
"Ahhh, is that so?" the Spaniard smiled sheepishly. "I guess things will be easy then."
"Oh, I guess not," the Japanese guy disagreed, though still smiling. "I am not supposed to say anything to you without putting up a fight."
*"Feisty. Seems he has something to be proud of, ohonhonhon~" commented Number 2.
"Oh really?" Antonio's smile turned into a dark smirk. "That's good. I actually wanted to stretch my muscles anyway." In a matter of split second, the Spaniard managed to draw a battle axe out of nowhere.
"Halt!"
"...?"
"This area is full of innocent people. I suggest that we change our location," the Japanese man pointed out.
*"Hmmm. He's got a point. Bring him to the dock Number 3," said Number 1. *"Two point three kilometers, 10 o'clock."
"Follow me," Antonio leaped over the buildings according to Gilbert's directions with Kiku on his tail.
*"Number 2, the place is approximately six kilometers from your current position. Okay so Number 3's already there. The target 80.63 degrees from your initial gun point."
*"Target locked on," Number 2 said.
Kiku unsheathed his katana.
"Let the games begin."
.::.
(Gilbert's area)
"Okay, Number 2, I assume you have a nice view of the battle. Since we are not yet given the go signal to kill, all you have to do is distract the target from hitting Number 3. Number 3, your goal is only to disarm the enemy. We need him alive for interrogation. Follow my directions and we'll checkmate him in a few."
*"It's making me wonder though. He doesn't seem to be a bad guy for asking for an isolated place, right?" said Number 2.
"I agree. But I suppose he is from a bigger organization that would be darned if he ever cause something big to clean up. Anyway, it's more favorable for us. Number 1, there's a rock behind him. Try to push him to that... Oh he jumped. Move back a bit, he's gonna strike back. Okay, he'll land in 2 sec- okay, good. Shit he's fast- good shot number 2. He's getting a bit agitated. Keep it up... Now his attacks are becoming reckless... Kick him in the nuts! Just kidding-"
*"Fuck you, Number 1!" Number 3 snarled. Really, Antonio becomes a different person when he had his axe.
"Sorry- sorry! Oops! He's getting the upper hand, Anto- Number 3!"
*"No shit!" snapped the Spaniard. "He changed his fighting style."
"Dodge it for a bit! I'm gonna see a pattern-"
*"Take your time while I'm dying here!"
"Okay, jump 2 meters back, he's going to attack - left, left right, jump! Okay, right, left, left, jump again- whoop! Front baby! Now push him back! Awesome!"
*"What the fuck?"
The Japanese man, now his clothes torn looks unscathed by everything, a red dragon seal glowing on his bare right shoulder.
"Shit! He's got a seal! Where he fuck is Lovino!"
*"I thought you asked him not to come?" Number 2 said.
*"Fuck you Gil!"
"I didn't expect this. Number 3, describe the seal!"
*"I can' see clearly, he's moving too fast- fuck!"
"Move away first Antonio! Franny, don't let him near Antonio!"
"Excuse me," suddenly, a female voice from behind Gilbert said. He felt something pointed tapping his nape. "I suggest you say your goodbyes."
"Verdammit."
*"What's happening Gil?" Francis said.
"I got caught. I'm disconnecting. Sorry. Bye."
"You are surprisingly obedient, teehee."
In a flash, Gilbert jumped away the girl. He saw that she has long hair and a flower on her hair. She was as innocent looking as Kiku Honda. Gilbert doesn't doubt that he is just as strong as the Japanese man. He felt cold sweat.
"Yeah. I just don't want them to hear a woman's scream and get the wrong ideas," the albino said airily.
"Oh, you didn't have to worry. It would be the other way around. Teehee." The girl pointed her right palm on Gilbert, a red dragon (similar but not identical to Kiku's) imprinted on it. Slowly, a fireball materialized and shooted from her hand.
"Damn it!" Gilbert dodges a bit late and was hit on his left part of the body. His clothes got burned up to his skin. A whitish gray seal of an eagle was embedded on his left chest.
"Oh... A half-blood. Interesting."
Gilbert flicked his fingers. Electric current buzzed from them. "This is where the fun starts, woman."
.::.
Lovino shuddered. He could feel the presence of a pure blood in town. What is this feeling?
"You alright, Lovino?" Matthew asked concernedly. Lovino just suddenly stopped walking.
"I... It's alright. Let's just go home quick."
"Okay..."
The four of them continued their way home. It is Lovino's primary job to keep the children's safety. He just have to set aside his other mission first.
"Hey! Why don't we go to McDonald's!"
"Oh, not again!"
.::.
"Ni hao, Mr. Bielschmidt."
"Who are you?" Ludwig, the school chairman asked the Chinese man who suddenly appeared in his office.
"I am Wang Yao from the Zhonghua empire. I am pleased to be your acquaintance."
The German frowned at the sudden visitor.
.::.
"I was expecting more from you, Antonio-san," Kiku ever pleasantly said. "I am quite disappointed."
Antonio lay bloody under the rubble of their fierce fight. He was breathing heavily, obviously pained from the blows from the Japanese kid.
Meanwhile, Gilbert is also not faring well.
"Is that all you've got?" the girl teased. "So much for a half-blood!"
"Shut up, bitch!"
His state almost as critical as Antonio's, the Prussian can barely stand.
"But really... What's holding you back?"
Francis is thinking deeply. His two friends are both thrown over the edge, and he doesn't know who to help first.
"Mierde..."
"Number 2. Go help the potato bastard. I got Number 3."
The French smiled. "Oui. You sure took your time, cher."
"Shut up. I'll still kick that albino bastard's ass later."
.::.
"Konnichiwa, Lovino-san. Did they go to McDonald's again?"
"Yeah," Lovino answered.
"Number 4..." Antonio murmured.
"Can you still stand?"
As if rejuvenated, Antonio sprang to his feet. "Of course!" But he stumbled a bit.
"Cocky bastard."
"Eheheh..." Antonio scratched his head.
Lovino turned to Kiku. "You. You are just a contractor."
"Hai," he answered.
So there is still another presence to get wary of...
"Antonio..."
"Yes!"
"I, Romano of the Earth, am lending you my power. Release the seal..."
Upon Lovino's words, a seal of an eagle (similar but not identical to Gilbert's) glowed on Antonio's back, and his axe also glowed different.
"Three minutes. Do not disappoint me."
"Yes, master."
Antonio suddenly had a boost of power and speed. He shot impossibly fast towards Kiku and swung his axe downward. The Japanese kid dodged in time and jumped back, however, when the axe hit the ground, it broke open following the backing Asian. Kiku jumped upward, he swung his sword towards Antonio and fire shot out of it. The Spaniard shielded humself with the axe, at the same time, a block of earth covered him. With another swing of his axe, the block of earth turned into small rocks which shot their way to the target like missile. Kiku's fire shield only melted some and the one's that managed to pass through became molten stones, hitting him badly. When he fell on the ground, roots instantly wrapped around him.
"Now, I suppose you can answer our questions."
"That is not necessary anymore," suddenly, Ludwig Bielschmidt appeared with a Chinese man carrying an unconscious girl and Francis supporting Gilbert. Lovino felt wary of the Chinese man.
"They sure got Kiku and Mei, eh?" Wang Yao commented. "You got good men, Bielschmidt."
"Gomen, nii-san."
"Hush, it's alright Kiku."
"What's going on?" Lovino asked.
"Yeah, we would like to know," said Gilbert.
"I suggest that we return to the house first to treat you."
.::.
"Another clan?"
"Yes. We are from the Zhonghua empire of the east," Yao explained. "You all know about the clans, right?"
"The Zhonghua (East), Roma (South), Deutschland (Center), Scandinavia (West) and the Soviet (North)..." Lovino enumerated.
"Do you know why there are five empires?"
Long time ago, five demons of the different demonic empires were thrown to this planet to rule the nature. Roma (the Earth), Germania (his Wind), Gen. Winter (the Metal), Zhonghua (the Fire) and Scandinavia (the Water). However, these demons are not in good terms with everyone. Roma and Germania are supposed to be friends, Gen. Winter and Zhonghua are also friends while Scandinavia is an aloof individual. And so, they separated their empires. The empires are still alive up to this day, however, the original demons are long gone. Only their descendants remain, except for Zhonghua who was alive for the longest time.
"I am Zhonghua," said Yao.
Roma, was killed by his friend Germania in a search for power. However, his guilt caused the blonde demon to kill himself. Upon his death, he swear that his descendants will live to protect Roma's descendants as retribution to his sin. Thus, Roma's descendant, a mere child when his Grandfather died, was taken care of by the Deutschland Empire. That is the history of the two demons.
Meanwhile, Gen. Winters story consisted of being killed by his own mad son, when the said son fell in love with Zhonghua, and he got jealous of his father.
On the other hand, Scandinavia wasn't very much heard of. All that is known to him is that one day, he just disappeared in the northern sea while two newborn demons substituted him.
The descendants of demons, called half-bloods have almost the same power as pure-bloods, except that their bodies usually can't control the powers fully. They will always have the seal on their left chest (pure bloods have it on their right).
Demons also have the ability to make a contract with humans to share their powers. The humans will gain a seal of the contract similar to the clan symbol. The contractors and demons are binded by a contract of their lifetime.
"Mei and Kiku are my contractors, but they are not the only ones," Yao said.
It intrigued Lovino how pure bloods can have more than one contractor.
"Anyway, I've heard that the Soviets abducted Roma's descendant."
"J-Ja. But what is it to you?" Ludwig asked.
"You probably knew that we are also raging a war with the son of Gen. Winter. He and his sisters are really strong and I suppose you would be grateful to accept some help."
"What is your condition?" Ludwig asked quizzically.
"You know business, Bielschmidt. Good," Yao smiled. "I told you before that Kiku and Mei are not my only contractors. Actually, I have another three."
"Yeah, so?" Lovino and Gilbert asked impatiently.
Mei glared at them.
"Right, there is a young one who did not share the same ideas as Kiku and I, and he started a revolt against us. Fearing that our citizens might get hurt from a battle, we flee. Now, we left behind my other two contractors and they are sentenced to death by the new Emperor. I want to save my contractors but I cannot fight any of them, so I need your help about this."
"If you are asking for our service, why did you have to attack us?" Francis asked.
"We are testing you, if you are capable of helping us," Kiku said.
"Fair point. So if we had died, it meant we are not capable," Gilbert said sarcastically. Mei looks like she'll snap back but Yao held her back.
"Yes, we are sorry for inconviencing you. But I am really very impressed at your abilities," Yao politely said.
"Uh... Well that was nothing," Gilbert said embarrassedly, barely hiding the fact that he was too pleased. Easy to manipulate bastard.
"So, are you accepting the deal?"
Everyone looked at the Boss.
"Ja. But we will have to prepare first. Please tell us all the information you can give," Ludwig announced.
.::.
After some brainstorming for tactics, Lovino went out for fresh air...
"Lovino-san, may I ask you a question?"
Kiku seemed to have tailed him. He felt his presence long ago, that's why he decided to go to the rooftop, to be private.
"Yeah, you're already asking anyways..."
"Uhm... Ano... About the story of the demons... It says that Roma-san has only one descendant, and he was abducted by the Soviets right now."
"Yes... So?"
"But Antonio-san... He is your contractor, right?"
"Yes."
"So... Are you also an Earth demon?"
Lovino smiled mysteriously.
"What do you think?"
