Hetalia: Axis Powers

Winter Wonderland

Hey guys! I know, I know, I probably shouldn't be writing-err typing up another story when I have other stories I needed to update, but I thought, hey, it's the holidays, and I wanna add another story! And this one is…Hetalia/Inu crossover! No duh, right? I've read every Hetalia/Inuyasha crossover I could find on fanfic net from the crossover area, and to my disappointment, there were only a few. There really need to be more, so my challenge for all you fanfic writers out there is to get more of these started! But anyway, I'll put some info explaining some things about the story at the bottom of the page so no one is really too confused with some history-related things. I also haven't watched nor read all of the Hetalia anime/manga strips, so if I get some info wrong, feel free to correct me! But, I'll tell you guys before hand if there is something I know about that I'm going to change. As for pairings hmm…I think about them for awhile. Also, Kagome starts off looking 7 or 8 years old. Takes place now I guess, but just keep in mind that this first part happens when Kagome has been wandering around for around 100 years without realizing it, as she can't keep track of the time. ~nyahhh~

January 29

The young girl sniffed and rubbed her red eyes as tears leaked out of them, and they drifted down her cheek only to form into ice in the harsh, snowy climate. She rubbed her arms together and breathed on her hands, not so much to keep herself warm as she didn't feel the cold much at all, but more as a habit. She looked around the lifeless terrain, seeing nothing but the cold white of snow going on forever. The wind blew harshly against her cheeks and she let out another sob as the blizzard started up again. She didn't know where she was nor did she know who she was. All that came to her mind was the word Antarctica. She didn't know what it meant but she didn't care much about it right now. She felt as if she had been wandering around here forever, she wasn't aware of the time passing nor how she even got here, wherever it was, in the first place.

She stumbled around and whined to herself, until she saw a soft light in the blizzard ahead. She walked over towards it, unaware of her surroundings passing by in a blur as she got closer and closer to the area. She squinted and noticed it was an area with a few buildings in it. Maybe eight at most, and they were small and just sturdy enough to withstand the blizzards. Kagome walked past the first building which had no lights on and continued onto the second building. She knocked on the door and shouted, "Hello? Is anyone in there?" she paused when she heard her voice, and different memories coming back to her in cracks and pieces. A woman with doe brown eyes smiling at her kindly and words harshly spoken by someone in a foreign language that she wasn't aware of appeared in her mind. She at first thought it was the same thing she was speaking, but then became aware that what she was speaking was Japanese and that she couldn't understand what had been said.

She shook away whatever had popped into her mind and continued knocking on the door. She whimpered when no one answered and started trudging through the snow towards the next building. She had to narrow her eyes when another wave of the snow storm blew harder and gave her trouble seeing. She didn't even notice the figure in front of her until she bumped into it.

"Hola," she looked up at a man with wavy dark brown hair and tanned skin, the type of guy who looked as if he didn't belong here. "What's a chica bonita like you doing out here? And All alone too?" She looked up at him confused, as she couldn't understand whatever language he was speaking.

"Can't understand me?" he shook his head, kneeling down to her height. With a grin he pointed to himself. "Joaquín Hernandez."

She tilted her head to the side still slightly confused. He pointed to himself a few times and repeated his name for awhile until she started to grasp what he was trying to get across to her. She raised her hand and pointed towards him. "Joaquín Hernandez?" she asked.

He nodded and clapped his hands eagerly. "Yeah, that's me!"

The young girl smiled and laughed slightly at his energetic tone. He pointed to her and she realized he wanted to know her name. Her name? What was it? She pondered for a moment until her head started to hurt and she blurted out what first came to her mind before her head felt like it was going to explode. "Kagome Higurashi."

He nodded with a suddenly thought look. "Higurashi huh? What would a niña japonesa be doing all the way down here?"

He shrugged. "Ah, I'll figure that out later, you look like you're freezing. Come, I'll take you inside and get you warmed up and something to eat." He held out his hand and she eagerly took it, not wanting to be left alone again.

He took her into one of the buildings and immediately felt overwhelmed by the heat going around in the place. She watched the man pull off his scarf and hang it in a small closet next to his thick coat. He also pulled off the gloves that were on his hands and threw them carelessly onto a nearby coffee table. He looked down at her with a grin and suddenly she felt dizzy. The heat seemed to be too much for her after being in the cold for god knows how long and she fell onto her bottom. Joaquín frowned and picked her up while placing his hand over her forehead for a brief moment before taking it away and bringing her into a small room with only a bed, a wardrobe, and a window were in it. He placed her on the bed and left the room.

Kagome felt herself starting to panic as he left and got up weakly to try to follow him. He came back in and tsked. "No no no no no. You need to stay in bed chica. You have a bad fever." He gently pushed her back into the bed and placed a cool cloth on her forehead.

He got up to leave again, but this time Kagome acted quick and she grabbed onto the bottom of his shirt. "Ile." She said softly and shook her head. He smiled reassuringly at her and stood up. He pointed to the hall, "I just need to get my phone." He walked quickly to the door backwards, as to make sure she wouldn't get out of bed, and reached out into the hall and grabbed a small cell phone. Kagome watched as he came back inside the room and relaxed when he sat on the bed, clearly not going anywhere for awhile. He ruffled her hair playfully and she scowled at him and reached up her small hand to try to grab his hair. He laughed and moved out of the way and growled when he couldn't get a signal on his phone. "Teléfono estúpido." He got up and smacked the phone against the wall a few times before looking at it smugly. "Ha!" Kagome looked at him curiously. He dialed a number into the phone before lifting it to his ear. He paced back and forth a few times before he started speaking in another language.

"Arthur, yes, I've been fine thanks. Nope, we're doing great. There's just one little problem." He smirked at Kagome and gave her a wave. She shyly waved back, still unaware as to what was going on. "No, no nothing like that. No, not that either. You know how I'm in Antarctica right now?"

Kagome's ears perked up at the word Antarctica and she got up and tugged on his shirt. Joaquín scowled when he saw she got out of bed again. She tugged on his shirt trying to get his attention and he smiled at her and held up one finger, silently asking her to wait.

"Oh, you did not know I was in Antarctica? Ah. Now you know. Well, I was down here in our research center when I found this little chica-ah that means girl…oh, you know what that means? Anyway, I found this girl outside our base. Her name is Kagome Higurashi…yup sounds like she's Japanese, right?"

Kagome sighed in exasperation and tugged on his shirt again even harder. He looked down at her slightly puzzled. She pointed to herself, much in the way she had done earlier when she told him her name and said "Antarctica." Joaquín's eyes widened as he looked at her. He pointed to her and repeated "Antarctica?" she nodded with a smile on her face. Joaquín quickly went onto the phone and started speaking faster. "She says she's Antarctica. Yes, yes I know. I was not aware there was a personified form of here anyway, no one actually live-lives here. Si, I'm planning on bringing her up with me. Yes yes, I'll bring her to you first then we'll decide…a whole nation meeting? Alright. Yes. Bye."

He hung up and looked at Kagome again. She looked at him innocently and he couldn't help but smile. "It looks like you're coming with me chica."

He left the room and was surprised she followed him out again. He picked her up and frowned. This might be the start of an attachment disorder. He took her into a small kitchen and sat her on a stool while he searched for something he could give her to eat. After finding and giving her something, he sat on a stool across from her and watched her eat hungrily. He frowned. How could they not know there was another nation? By the looks of her, she has already been around for about hundred or so years. The poor thing must've been wandering around all this time looking for someone.

Kagome looked up from eating to see Joaquín looking at her. He pointed his hand to his chest once again and said "Argentina."

Kagome's eyes lit up, happy that the person she had found was just like her. They were neither human nor demon, but personified forms of countries. She looked around the room noticing things that she didn't know the names of before, but from the depths of her mind, some memories popped up and she suddenly remembered the names of the items. She took another sip of the soup she had before coughing. Joaquín walked over to her and picked her up again. "Ah, I forgot you have a fever." He walked over to the bedroom and placed her down. This time he made sure to wait until she was asleep before he left the room and made preparations for them to leave the next day to England, his good friend.

~!~

Kagome opened her eyes and looked up to see Joaquín carrying her. Where ever they were was much warmer than where they were before and it made Kagome slightly uncomfortable to be out of the cold. He looked down and smiled at her. "Ah, you are awake. You must have been tired since you slept the whole boat ride! Which was a few days long. Kagome shook her head, still not picking up any word he said. He laughed softly "Oh chica, I'm sure we'll be able to communicate soon, especially if England has anything to do with it."

They arrived to a huge building that Kagome looked up at in wonder. It was…so big! They walked in and Joaquín placed her on her feet and she stumbled a little, not having had used her legs in awhile. He kept his hand on her shoulder to steady her as they walked in through big doors and came face to face with a few people who Kagome could feel were just like them. She looked around in wonder and shyly placed herself behind Joaquín and grabbed onto his hand. He squeezed hers reassuringly as suddenly, all the people's attentions were on them. She suddenly felt nervous and a man with blond hair and green eyes, along with very bushy eyebrows walked up to them and smiled. He looked at Kagome and kneeled down to her. "Hello there. You must be Kagome, I'm England-Arthur Kirkland."

Kagome frowned not understanding what he was saying and was about to speak when some man with wavy shoulder-length blond hair and blue eyes came up to her and offered her a rose with a smirk. "Ah, L'Angleterre, look at this cute thing! Mon cheri, you are quite simply beautiful, non?"

Arthur scowled and whacked France in the head. "Shut it you twat! You're scaring the poor lass! Just leave her be."

"Ah~ But how can I let such a beauty go?"

Arthur shook his head in annoyance. He turned back to Kagome and Argentina. "Does she speak English?" he questioned looking up at his friend. Argentina shook his head. "I tried but no, she does not speak it. Only Japanese if I have guessed correctly."

England nodded and beckoned Japan over in case he got any translations wrong. "Hello, Kagome, or rather, Antarctica, do you mind if I ask you a few questions?"

Kagome shrugged. "Go ahead."

"How long have you been in Antarctica? Have you been alone for a long time? Do you know how you got there?" England asked as he punched France as he tried to get closer in to the girl.

"I don't know…I dunno…and I'm not sure." She replied, thinking about the questions herself.

"You don't live with anyone?" he asked. Kagome shook her head. England frowned and looked up at Argentina who looked regretful and shook his head. "Sorry, England, I wouldn't be able to raise her, I have a lot of things going on right now and would not have time for her."

Arthur nodded and immediately France stepped in. "Hon~hon~hon~I shall raise Mon cheri perfectly, to be a beautiful lady!"

Arthur scowled. "No you won't I'll take care of her."

France laughed. "Oh L'Angleterre, you would kill her with your cooking first!"

Arthur scoffed. "You would scar the lass for life! You aren't fit to raise a shoe!"

France huffed. "I helped raise Seychelles!"

"Yeah, and look where that got her!"

"Nothing bad came of her!"

"Hah! That's what you think!"

There was much bickering and bantering going on for awhile before it was decided. England would be the one to raise Antarctica.

Ok, that's it for this chapter! And Argentina is my OC that I made up because if I remember correctly, he didn't exactly exist in the anime. Alright! Please review!~
