Chapter 1: It's a Cold Winter
A black haired, Asian looking man walked with a confident stride from a large mansion. A honey blond man shuffled shyly out with him.
"A-Arigatou, C-Canada-san. This was q-quite a preasent evening."His teeth were chattering from the cold. The honey blond, now identified as Canada smiled.
"P-Please, call me Matthew. And i-it was m-my pleasure, J-Japan." Matthew turned to re-enter his mansion, when a soft noise caught his attention.
"Then prease, c-call me K-Kiku."
"Okay, but d-did you hear t-that?"
"Hear w-what, C-Matthew-san?" A soft whimper came from a snow drift just ahead of them.
"T-That!" Matthew ran towards the drift, completely forgetting that he wasn't wearing any winter clothing. He landed hard on his knees, and started digging in the snow.
"M-Matthew-san! You d-don't even have y-your j-jacket on!" Kiku ran after him, but froze at what Matthew dug from the snow. The blond gently brushed snow from a pale, shaking form of a child.
"T-This is..."
"It's a b-baby... Who w-wourud do something rike this?"
"Heartless b-bastards..." Matthew growled, as his hands passed over an embroidery of some sort. He flipped the corner of the blanket the baby was wrapped in.
"What is it, C-Canada-san?"
"A name... N-Naruto... Uzumak-ki... Namik-kaze..." Matthew shook his head, and jumped to his feet. "What am I d-doing! I s-should bring this c-child into the house! Not d-dilly-daddle!" He ran past the still stunned Kiku, dashing to get in from the cold. "Kiku!" He called from just inside the door.
"H-Hai!" Kiku gracefully ran inside, slamming the door behind him.
"Kiku! I need you to grab some blankets from that supply closet next to the front door!" Matthew called from the other room, prompting Kiku to quickly grab four blankets from inside the closet. Once he entered the room Matthew was in, he saw the Canadian slowly removing the baby from it's wet clothes. There was a fireplace a few steps away from him, so he dumped the blankets in front of it.
"Is there anything else I can do, Matthew-san?"
"Ah, yeah. C-Can you go heat up some milk? Not too hot though..." Kiku nodded, and wandered off to the kitchen, leaving Matthew alone with a still shivering Naruto. The baby shifted, his eyes opening slowly. Naruto's eyes started to water, and he soon started to wail. "Shh... Shh... It's okay Naruto, it's okay..." Matthew quietly said, rocking Naruto gently to an unknown beat. He stood, the fatigued baby in his arms, and walked towards the fireplace. He bunched the blankets together in a comfortable way, and placed Naruto into the warm caresses. The fire flickered, sending it's warmth about randomly.
Matthew sat still for ten minutes, only moving to brush his fingers across Naruto's body, to test his body heat. He was about to take the baby to the hospital, but a snowstorm had started up, making him dismiss the thought. "Naruto..." The baby's eyes flickered opened, staring at Matthew with intense sky blue eyes. This made him smile. "Are you warm yet, mon petitbébé?" Naruto cooed, then fell back asleep.
Kiku came back in some twenty minutes later, with three bottles of warm milk. He handed one to Matthew, and took a seat next to Naruto's feet. "Wiru he be alright?"
"Yes, Kiku, Naruto will be just fine. We have to wait until tomorrow, though, to get him to a hospital."
"Ah, snowstorm. I see..." Kiku looked at Matthew, and saw him fighting off fatigue. "Why don't you get some sureep, while I watch Naruto-kun."
"Alright..." Matthew yawned. "I'll be in the room right above this one, come wake me up when you get tired..." Kiku nodded, and Matthew walked slowly up the stairs. Kiku could faintly hear a bed creak, and a faint whisper.
"Who're you?" He turned, to see a polar bear staring at him.
"I am Kiku, Honda Kiku. You know, Japan?"
"Who?"
"Canada's friend?"
"Oh." Kiku rolled his eyes at the immaturity of the bear.
"Who are you?"
"Mister Kumajirou."
"Weru, haro Kumajirou-san." The bear nodded, and walked up to the sleeping Naruto. This caused Kiku to panic, until he noticed that the bear didn't actually do anything. Kumajirou just curled himself around the boy, who Kiku just noticed was shivering again. The baby smiled contently in his sleep, and snuggled closer into the white fur of the bear. Kiku smiled serenely, the scene in front of him was quite cute. He quickly snapped a photo or seven with his Iphone, all from different angles.
The house phone rang loudly throughout the house, and Kiku rushed off to answer, lest it wake Naruto. He snatched up the receiver, and pushed the call button. "Haro?"
"Hello? This is England. Is Matthew there?" The distinct accent of England responded.
"Ah, iie. Matthew-san is sureeping at the moment."
"I see." At this moment, Naruto began to wail.
"Naruto-kun!" Kiku ran into the front room, and gently picked up Naruto. He had the phone lodged between his ear and shoulder.
"Is that a baby? What the bloody hell is going on over there!"
"Ah! Igirisu-san! Me and Matthew had just finished our meeting together, and I went outside for some air. The airport had called earrier, stating that my fright had been cancerued. So, Matthew and I just went outside to see the stars, when we heard whimpering. Matthew got there first, and pulled rittle Naruto-kun here out of the snow!" Kiku said quickly, trying to calm the blubbering Naruto while he was talking to England.
"So you found a baby in the snow, are currently helping it, and have no access to a hospital?"
"Ah, Hai!"
"When will you have access to a hospital?"
"Ano... Tomorrow, I think..."
"I'll fly down on the first flight I can get. Now, I have to go, as it's probably early morning there." Kiku looked at the clock hanging on the mantle piece. 2:34 AM.
"Hai, it's quite early. Sayonara, Igirisu-san."
"Please, call me Arthur. Goodbye, Kiku." With that, Arthur hung up, Kiku following sort shortly after. Naruto's calm breaths tickled Kiku's neck. Kiku smiled, and started to climb the stairs. A yawn escaped him, as he neared the room Matthew said he'd be in. Knocking, he said,
"Matthew-san? Do you think you can watch Naruto-kun?" He heard a grunt, before the door opened to show a frazzled Matthew.
"Yeah, sure. I can do that, eh." He took the sleeping babe from Kiku, before stepping from the room. "You can sleep in here."
"Arigatou. Ah, arso, Igirisu-san is frying over soon."
"Right..." Kiku rubbed his eyes, before crashing onto the bed. "Goodnight, Kiku."
"Goodnight, Matthew-san..."
Kiku awoke later to the sound of giggles and the smell of something cooking. He drifted slowly downstairs to the kitchen, his lack of sleep taking it's toll. Naruto sat in a highchair, giggling at Matthew as he made silly faces.
"Haro, Matthew-san..."
"Good morning, Kiku!" Kiku walked up to the still giggling Naruto, now noticing that he was sweating and his eyes were glazed over.
"Ano, Matthew-san? I think we shourud get Naruto-kun to a hospital..."
"Regular cars can't get through right now, but I called an ambulance earlier. They said to keep him awake, they should be here soon..." Matthew turned back to whatever he was cooking.
"What are you making?"
"Some pancakes."
After having a few pancakes, and keeping Naruto awake, the doorbell rang. Matthew stood up from his chair, and ran to get it. Opening the door quickly, he saw the familiar uniform of a paramedic.
"'ello, I 'ave come for un bébé... Ah, Mathieu." Matthew blinked at the familiar voice.
"France? You're a paramedic?"
"I said to call me Francis. And it's a zide job. Now, you 'ave a zick baby?"
"Ah, yeah. Found him last night." Matthew led Francis to the living room, where he had left Kiku and Naruto. Kiku stood as the two came in, holding Naruto in his arms.
"Furansu? What are you doing here?"
"I 'ave come to bring ze baby to ze 'ospital." Kiku nodded, and handed Naruto over to the Frenchman. "Mathieu, one of you two can come too."
"You go Matthew-san. I wiru wait for Arthur-san." Matthew nodded, and left with Francis. Kiku yurned to Kumajirou, who had just entered the room. "Why was Furansu a paramedic?"
"Will he be alright, Francis?"
"Yeah..." Francis said without conviction. His partner was driving, and they both could see how concerned Matthew was. The Canadian was fretting, wringing his hands constantly.
"Can we go any faster?"
"I'm sorry, but non. Ze roads are still to icy."
"I see..." They still had a ten minute drive, and Matthew kept on fretting.
"I guess we could zpeed up a little..." Francis signalled for his partner to drive faster. Matthew gave a smile, and stopped wringing his hands together.
"Merci, Francis."
An hour and a half later, Kiku was sitting near the fireplace, conversing with Mister Kumajirou. "Is that so, Kumajirou-san?" He said, a slight shocked tone in his voice.
"Oui." The bear responded, a smug undertone.
"I did not know that."
"No one but Canadia does."
"It's Canada. And that's amazing..."
"Colourful..."
"Hai... Wourud you rike some fish?"
"Yeah..." Kiku smiled, and walked into the kitchen. He headed straight for Matthew's freezer. He searched for a little while, before removing three medium sized fish.
"These shourud do. I wonder where Arthur-san is..." He went back into the front room, where Kumajirou was sitting expectantly.
"Fish..." Kumajirou asked, his eyes glazing over in hunger.
"Ha ha, here." Kiku placed the fish on the ground near the bear, and went to sit back down. Before he could though, the doorbell rang. "Coming!" He sighed, and left the room yet again.
"Hurry up you bloody wanker! It's freezing out here!"
"H-Hai!" Kiku rushed to answer the door. "Haro Arthur-san."
"Bloody hell, what took you so long?"
"Gomen, I was giving Kumajirou-san some fish."
"Did you get uh... Naruto? To the hospital"
"Hai, Matthew got him there. And his name is Naruto."
"Ah, should we wait for them to get back?"
"Iie, we can go after them. Did you know that Furansu is a paramedic?" Arthur twitched.
"You mean to tell me that Francis was the one to pick up the baby?"
"Hai."
"We should go now. The roads are cleared." Kiku nodded, and grabbed his jacket from the rack.
"Kumajirou-san! Me and Arthur-san are going! Be nice!"
"Oui!"
"Okay, ret's go." Arthur smiled, and walked out of the mansion.
"Yes, let's." Kiku smiled as well, and gracefully strides out too.
