Trigger warning: A character's death and child abuse
I don't own Hetalia nor Nyotalia nor Lifan.
Erika wakes up in bed. She realized that her clothes were gone.
'Did you enjoy my little 'punishment', last night?'
Erika turns to see Yao standing there putting on his office suit.
Erika scowls at him. 'Next time, please tell me that you were going to do that.'
'Okay okay.' Yao says as he waved his arms in up in defense. 'You were the one that unbuttoned my shirt.'
'... Well I couldn't resist that.' Erika in defense as she blushes slightly.'
'Aren't you supposed to be meeting with your friend?' Yao asks her as he raise a brow.
'THAT'S RIGHT!' Erika says in shock. 'I'm going to have a meeting with Michelle and Kumar on their wedding plan.' Erika says as she ran into the bathroom. 'I need to clean myself to make presentable!'
'Good luck with Erika.' Yao tells her. 'I love you.'
'I love you, too!' Erika yells through the bathroom.
Yao left after that...
...
'Ivan...'
Ivan whom was prepared to leave work turns to a small Chinese woman. She had her long dark brown hair pulled into buns and sweet soft brown eyes. She was wearing a ruby-red dress reached her knees and her abdomen was sticking out of her.
'Yes, Chun Yan?'
'Please, be sure to check on Yao...' Chun Yan tells him with a worried look on her face. 'I've feel like... that something will happen to him.'
'I will Chun.' Ivan says as he smiles at his wife, as he bends down to kiss her, then leaves.
Chun frowns to herself. She remembers that day went she reported to the police that her step father was abusing her mother and younger brother as a child.
Flashback mode now activated!
'WHY DO YOU NEED TO BE SO CONTROLLING?' A woman yelled at a man furiously.
'WHY DO YOU NEED TO QUESTION MY ORDERS?' A man yelled back at her.
13-year-old Chun Yan watches as mother and step father argue brutally against each other.
She remembered just a year ago. Her real father died from a hit and run. Her step father, whom was an ex from high school, come up to comfort her. At first Chun Yan was completely okay with him, because her step father sounded like a nice man and treated her like any normal father would.
'Chun.' Her 11-year-old brother, Yao, whispers silently to her. 'I told you that we shouldn't trust him.'
Yao on the other hand didn't trust his new father. He didn't believe he would be a great father for them nor a trusting husband for his mother. He refused to believe. Yao kept telling them on telling that he's no good and they shouldn't believe him. Their mother nor Chun Yan didn't listen...
It turned out that Yao was right all along. After they were married their step father started becoming more controlling on the kids. He forbidden Chun Yan from socializing with her friends and took Yao's stuffed animals away. Their mother thought that they were overreacting, but she soon come to realize that they weren't.
When she finally refused to slap Chun Yan, because she accidentally threw up on him when she sick and refused to go to school. So he slapped Chun Yan and forbidden her for eating.
Their mother took every physical abuse from him. He'd guilt trip them from leaving home by telling them that they'll be homeless or worse kidnap Yao or Chun Yan.
Here the siblings are watching their parents argue.
'I'VE THOUGHT THAT YOU'LL TAKE CARE OF US AND LOVE US!' Their mother yelled on top of her lungs.
'I WOULD LOVE YOU IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE THOSE BRATS FROM THAT BASTARD!' Their step father yelled at her furiously.
With that Yao drags Chun Yan out of the house.
'What are you doing Yao?' Chun Yan asked in shock.
'Taking us away from them.' Yao explains to her as they made their way to a phone booth. He inserted the coins and listen to the phone.
'Hello?' A young innocent and younger girlish voice spoke through the phone.
'Hong, please put Aunt Yue on the phone!' Yao told the speaker.
'You're calling Aunt Yue?' Chun Yan asked in shock.
'Yes.' Yao said to her. 'She's the only ticket to get away from this prison.' Yao explained to his sister. The police don't seem to care about what's going in the Wang household, until someone else is notified by that.
They've soon discovered their mother dead. They've managed to capture their step father. They soon discover he caused the death their biological father and he was planning to kill Yao and Chun Yan.
Chun Yan and her brother soon moved in with Aunt Yue and Hong.

'We've been through so much in our lives.' Chun Yan says as she cries.
...
'I was hoping that our wedding theme will be an Indian styled wedding.' Michelle tells Erika as she smiles widely.
'Alright.' Erika says as she writes down her notes.
'We'll definitely have a French styled wedding cake.' A young man with jet black, amber eyes and exotic skin says as he smiles. He was Kumar Sarin, Michelle's soon to be husband.
'French style wedding cake it is.' Erika jots down as she smiles slightly.
'We're very thankful for you helping us.' Kumar tells her happily.
'No problem.' Erika says as she got down the notes. 'In 2 months your wedding will be set.'
'Thanks, Erika.' Michelle says eagerly. 'I just can't wait.'
'I'm hoping to see you guys walk down the aisle.' Erika says as she smiles.
'Thanks, now we've got to go.' Michelle says she got up as Kumar follows her out.
Erika watches they leave and waves at them. She heads to her room, then says. 'Basch, I think I've found myself being creative on making wedding plans, then working at with technology.'
Erika was talking to a photo of younger version of herself and a slightly older boy. The boy chin length blond hair and sharp emerald eyes. They standing in front of a beautiful mountain and a bright sky.
'I'm pretty sure that if you were still here. You'd be proud of my accomplishments.' Erika says as she smiles, while trying to restrain her sadness.
Mini flashbacks now activated!
A three-year old girl with a light pink night-gown tip toed her way down the hall at night. She fearfully looked around. The only thing that played as her light in the darkness was a tiny flashlight helped her make her way through the huge house and prevented her from tripping over things.
Her blue-green eyes light up brightly as she the exact door that she was looking for, then knocked at the door a few times frantically. The door soon opens. A 8-year-old boy came out. It was the same from the photo.
'Erika?'
'Basch!' Erika hugged the boy as she shook fearfully.
'What's wrong Erika?' Basch asked as his voice softens at her and hugs her back.
'I... had a nightmare.' Erika said as she looked fearful.
'Do you want to sleep with me?' Basch asked her softly.
'Yes, please.' Erika said to him.
With that Erika snuggled against her brother closely.
The next morning their parents and servants couldn't help, but find on how cute they were sleeping together.
...
'Come on, Erika.' 13 year old Basch said as he encouraged her. 'You can do it!'
8-year-old Erika stood on top of a snowy slope looking down fearfully.
Erika and her family were in their private ski resort.
It was Erika's first time ever skiing and she felt nervous. As she stood on top a small slope with her ski gear on.
'Come on sweetie.' Erika's mother, Elise Anneliese Vogel, encouraged her. 'You can do it!'
'It's a just a harmless little slope.' Basch said to her. 'I'll be there to catch you.'
'You will?' Erika asked as she looked down.
'Yes.' Basch said encouragingly as he smiled at her.
'Okay!' Erika said as she tried to do to it on her own. She felt excited as she made her way down as she caught up with the movement.
'That was fun!' Erika said excitedly as she smiled widely.
'I'm glad that you enjoyed it.' Basch said as he smiled back at her.
'Good job, Erika.' Elise told her daughter as she smiled at her daughter.
'Thanks, Mom.' Erika said as she smiled at her mother happily.
...
'Erika, are you ready?' 21 year old Basch asked as he was wearing a red tuxedo.
'I'm ready.' Erika said as she came out of her wearing a light blue dress.
'Good I just hope that this will end quickly.' Basch said with a scowl.
'Basch it's Roderich's wedding.' Erika said with a frown.
'He's marrying someone at the age of 21. That's ridiculous.' Basch hissed harshly.
'It's better then married under aged or dealing with an arranged marriage.' Erika said to him.
'I know.' Basch said calmly. 'He still has much more to do in his adult life.'
'He at least looks happy with Miss Carmen.' Erika said with a frown on her face.
'KIDS! Can you please stop your arguing and get out of here?' Their father yelled in impatience.
'We're coming!' Basch said in annoyance.
...
In a church, people patiently sat and watch as a wedding ceremony begins.
Erika smiled as watches a young man in a tuxedo waiting patiently. He with dark hair with a hair curl sticking out of his head, dark blue eyes with glasses framing his face and a mole on his lower left cheek. He was Roderich Edelstein, Erika's cousin.
A young woman with dark chocolate-brown hair that reached her shoulders, bright green eyes and olive skin come the aisle. She was wearing a beautiful white gown. She was Carmen, a beautiful Spanish woman who Roderich is marrying.
The priest says a few words, then said. 'You may now kiss the bride.'
Roderich took off Carmen's veil off. He tried to kiss her, but only to turn away and cover his nose to sneeze.
'Bless you.' The priest said with an amused smile.
'Thanks.' Roderich said in embarrassment as he quickly resumed back to kissing Carmen, but only have their noses bump into each other.
The crowd had mixture reactions of amusement, boredom or annoyance.
Until, Carmen finally kissed him.
The crowd finally cheered.
'I'm so happy for him.' Erika said with a smile on her face.
'Kill me now.' Basch said as he face palms.
...
'Basch...' 21 year old Erika said to him as she came into his room.
'Yes, Erika?' 26 year old Basch asked he turned to her.
'Mom and dad want me to marry Sigurd Bondevik.' Erika said sadly as she looked down.
'I suppose that you don't want to marry him?' Basch asked her in a knowing tone.
'Yes, but there's also another reason...' Erika said as she bite her lips and fiddled with her fingers nervously.
'What is that?' Basch asked in suspension knowing that she's going to spell something out.
'I've been secretly seeing this man.' Erika told admittedly as she got her courage to spill it out.
'YOU WHAT?' Basch yelled in shock and slight anger.
'I'm sorry Basch, but I've been seeing this man named Yao Wang for two years straight.' Erika said boldly and firmly the best she could.
'Why?' Basch asked in annoyance.
'You guys would disapprove of Yao.' Erika said firmly.
'... What is he like?' Basch asked her in a firm tone.
'He's nothing bad.' Erika in said defense as she explained herself. 'He's a really nice man and really loving.'
'I'd like to meet him.' Basch said to her.
...
The next day Erika leads Basch to a small park. She felt anxious as she lead him and her eyes light up as she saw Yao.
'So you're the famous Basch Zwingli that Erika has told me about.' Yao said as he smiled at her.
They've talked to each other for while.
Until Basch asked Yao a very serious and important question.
'Do really love Erika?' Basch asked him in a firm tone.
'Yes...' Yao paused then said. 'I've never really been romantically attracted to anyone, but Erika was one person that I can't resist.'
'Do you treat her like a human being?' Basch asked him.
'We may have our little arguments here and there, but I still love her.' Yao said calmly as smiled at Erika.
'If you make my half-sister happy, then I guess that you can be with her.' Basch said calmly.
'REALLY?' Erika and Yao asked in a mixture of shock and excitement.
'Yes.' Basch told them as he smiled slightly, well mostly at Erika.
'Thanks, Basch!' Erika said as she hugged her older half-brother.
'However... when our parents get home from Switzerland in a few days. We'll discuss your relationship.' Basch said firmly as he had serious look on his face.
'Thanks, Basch.' Yao said as he smiled at him.
'No problem.' Basch said calmly.
...
Sadly for them. Basch wasn't able to make it. Right before their parents return. Basch was taking a solo hike in the woods. He was bitten by a rare poisonous spider. Basch thought that he'll make it, but as soon as he was taken to the hospital. He poison already spread into his body and killed him.
'BASCH!' Erika yelled in horror and sadness as she stared at his lifeless body on the hospital bed.
'I'm sorry Miss, but he couldn't make it.' Doctor tried to calm her as he escorts her out of the room. 'We tried all we could.'
Erika stood there silently. The person that supported her more than her own parents... is gone.
'Erika!' Yao arrived into the scene after hearing what happened. He asked her in a worried tone. 'Are you okay?'
Erika didn't say that anything.
Yao pulled her into a hug as she finds herself crying in his arms.
...
A few days later Erika finds herself standing in a graveyard.
Her family stood there in silence as they watch Basch being buried.
Yao stood there in the distance watching the scene silently.
Mini flashbacks now off!
'He left without ever saying goodbye.' Erika says to herself as tears slipped out of her eyes.
Ring ring! Ring ring!
Erika picked up her phone. 'Hello?'
'Erika.' It was Ivan.
'Hello, Ivan. Why did you call me?' Erika asks in confusion and curiosity.
'It's about Yao.' Ivan tells her calmly. 'He hasn't shown up to work at all today.'
'Really?' Erika asks in shock and worry as she looked around nervously. 'He always arrives at least a half of an hour late, but he'd never arrive three hours late.'
'I've been calling him be his cell phone, but no respond.' Ivan says in concern.
'Maybe I'll call him through my cell phone and see if he'll respond to me.' Erika tells him calmly. 'Then I'll tell you if he did.'
She then hung up the phone and dials Yao's phone number.
Beeeep!
'Come on, Yao.'
Beeeep!
'Please pick up.' She says as she bit her lip.
Beeeep!
'You always pick your phone.' She says fearfully.
Beeeep!
'Yao.'
Then an automatic woman's spoke up.
Your call hasn't been reached the calle-
Erika quickly hung up. 'This isn't like him.'
She soon dials Ivan's phone number.
'Did he reply?' Ivan asks in curiosity.
'No...' Erika says as she felt fearfully and frighten.
'Yao's never like this.' Ivan says through the phone.
'If... he doesn't appear tonight nor tomorrow... I don't really if I have to wait another 24 hour wait.' Erika says as she her voice into a more bold and determined voice. 'I'll tell the police that he's missing.'
'Even though I might agree with you on this, but just hope that we're wrong and Yao appears soon.' Ivan says in a serious tone.
'I know.' Erika says as she hung up the phone. 'Please, come back Yao.'
...
In a passenger plane that was leaving the Philippines.
'Mmm.' A young woman with long dark brown hair reached her back and golden eyes. She was wearing a ruby vest and black shorts. She sat the window seat silently looking out of the window.
'Hong are you okay?' Asks a young woman. She had long raven hair that was pulled into a ponytail with two strands of hair framing her face and golden eyes. She was wearing a light green t-shirt and tan pants.
'Nothing, Hui.' Hong replies to the older girl without even looking at her.
'Are you sure, Hong?' A young man with dark brown hair with a hair curl sticking out of his head and brown eye asks. He was wearing a peach colored shirt and light blue pants. 'You've been occasionally waking up in the middle of the night crying.'
'It's just a random nightmare that I had, okay Shen?' Hong says calmly as she could.
'What was it about?' Hui asks her as she raise a brow.
'It was about food eating people.' Hong says bluntly.
'Okay.' Hui says as she went with it, while Shen narrows his eyes. He resumed back to the movie that he was watching.
Hong didn't want to scare her friends, but she's been having nightmares about her older cousin, Yao, being tortured. She doesn't see him, but she can hear his screams, yells and cries in pain. It felt more terrifying than being alone in the dark. Hong sworn that she had a dreaded feeling that something terrible will happen when she returns home.
...
Erika wakes the next morning feeling all alone.
She frowned as she notices that Yao's not back. She felt a huge unsettling feeling that something bad was going happen.
Ring! Ring!
Erika picked up her cell phone. 'Hello?'
'Erika, this is Kumar.'
'Mr. Sarin why are you calling me?' Erika asks in a worried tone.
'Last night... in the mountain sides. We've found a wrecked up car that was set on fire... almost everything in there was completely destroyed.' He explains to her calmly as he could. 'We've never found any body, because the car was completely destroyed.'
'Why are telling me this?' Erika asks in a worried and fearfully voice.
'Erika we've got reports on the sight of a red Lifan mini van driving into the mountain side.' Kumar tells her in a serious tone.
'Lifan?!' Erika says in shock. 'Yao drives that car.'
No, it can't be.
'We believe that person's body that was in the car was completely destroyed.' Kumar explains her. 'I'm sorry, Erika, but we believe that Yao's dead.'
Erika literally passed out, after that.
That's it for this chapter of To Save Her Man!
What do you think?
Yao's the smart ass kid despite his young age like in Crossdresser with a Crush.
I see Basch thinking maturely on Erika's choice on dating. He respects her choice, even if he would hate the guy. The fanon version Basch's portray is abusive and unrealistic in my eyes. Not to extremely predictable and boring.
We get to meet Yao's cousin Hong and her crew being back from their little tour trip in the Philippines.
We're now at where Yao disappears.
In the next chapter will be more flashbacks and Yao's 'funeral'.
Please, read and review! It keeps my jolly spirit up!
