Wow, I didn't think anyone would actually read this.

THANKS SO MUCH TO ALL WHO DID!!

"Well," said Japan, thoroughly surprised. "I.. am speechless."

"I'm sorry for hiding this from the world up to now, but it was the best way."

"I can very well see how it was. Women have not been treated the best by men.." Including even in his own country.

He didn't even want to think about in China.

He shivered at the thought of foot binding.

She looked out the open sliding door. "I guess I'll have to tell everyone now..."

Japan shook his head. "You really don't have to, Arthur." he started blushing, "Ah! I mean Igiko.."

"Either is fine," responded England. "But would you like something in return?"

For keeping the secret?....

There was that, but...

"Well... no, it's a foolish thought..." He knew that she would want to know now...

"No, you're keeping my secret. I'll do anything to repay you, Kiku!" He could see her sincerity.

"Will you go with me to the fireworks festival in two days?" Japan tried to hide his blush.

She looked utterly surprised. "Well, it's an odd request, but yes. I'll go." she looked at the man clothes she was wearing. "I only have this to wear, though."

He spoke a little too fast. "I can always go and buy you some clothing at the market."

She looked at her clothes again. "But I'm so used to being a man already. It wouldn't be any trouble, would it? I can pay..."

Japan was just happy that she was going along with this. "No, it shall be my treat."

He returned later that day holding several bags. "Igiko, I am home!" he said, entering. One step into his house, and something didn't feel right.

Something was horribly wrong.

"Igiko!! Where are you?" He yelled into the empty living room.

"I'm in the kitchen!!" she replied.

He ran that way. " Are you..." he stared at the plate she was holding out to him.

"I wanted to thank you again by making you some curry!" she shoved the food in his face.

He could tell that it was bad.

If not by the smell, then the fact that it was warping the very fabric of time warned him.

It was so bad, reality had to censor it.

And the smell....

Japan shivered.

"No, I am fine." he held up the bags, which he was still carrying. "Furthermore, would you like to see the clothes I have for you?"

England blushed. "I guess.."

He opened the bags excitedly and showed them to her, "I was not going to buy you any male clothing, so I managed to order some kimono's for you, and I found a few others."

He held out a blue kimono with reeds on the bottom, a dark green one with vine patterns, and a red one with spider lilies bordering the bottom and sleeves. "And I bought a few plain white ones too..." he held out two of those, and started digging deeper into his bags.

"I also decided that when you are staying here, you will wear these tabi along with the clothes." He handed her a pair of socks that were normal except they separated the big toe and the rest of them.

"I also brought you some women's pants, just in case you would need them.. And as the last thing to show you, I brought you some Geta and Zori." he handed her those as well, and looked at her triumphantly. "What do you think?"

"I think my hands are a tad full. Help?" she looked like she was about to drop everything.

Japan sat waiting. He had to ask his neighbor to help her dress. She looked confused at first, but obliged anyway.

"Well, what do you think?" she said, coming out followed by the neighbor. She looked at him, surprise apparent on her face.

The neighbor decided to ask him a question."--Kiku-san, why did this man turn out to be a woman?-- "

He still hadn't looked at England yet, but explained, "--Do not think badly of her. Her mother made her dress as a boy to protect the family household. Please do not spread this as gossip, for if it does, I will know that it was you.--"

The neighbor nodded, and promised she wouldn't. She left swiftly, because if she could not gossip, why hear more to tempt herself?

He finally took a look at England to see that she was simply stunning.

The deep green of the kimono matched her eyes. The Kimono itself showed off her.... what do Americans call it...'womanly features'.

Granted, she was flat, but Asians were used to that.

Well, that sounded very rude now that he actually thought it. And slightly perverted.

It shows how thin and petite she really was, though.

"Does it look bad on me?" she started blushing.

It was just too cute. His nose started bleeding like a faucet.

He tried to hide it. "No, you look wonderful in it."

How would she look in the green Yukata he had specially made for her, to match her eyes completely?

He could only imagine...

His nose gushed even more blood.

Yes, he had it bad.

Well?

Do you like it?

If I get some reviews, I'll update on Saturday~

Truthfully, I always wanted to do an England x Japan.
