Ludwig walked out of Feliciano's room and knocked lightly on Antonio's. There was a grunt on the other side.

"Spain?" he called. Again another grunt. Germany assumed he was listening.

"Can you come with me to Japan's house?" he asked trying to sound polite.

"Why?" the Spaniard grunted. "I don't want to infect anyone else!" Germany sighed with agreement. He went on to explain that they needed him so they could start to work on a cure. He soon heard the click of the door unlocking. He thanked him and headed down the stairs, Antonio following silently behind him. They climbed into the car and headed down the road.

They traveled in silence for a while until Spain spoke.

"Do you think they will get the cure on time?" he asked. Ludwig let out a sigh he puffed out his chest and turned his head towards Antonio, eyes still on the road.

"I don't know but let's not get our hopes down we're almost there." he said then he turned up the radio.

*Le Time Skip*

Germany knocked on Kiku's door. While they were waiting for an answer Germany told Spain to step back a few feet so he doesn't startle Japan. The raven haired man answered the door.

"Herro Germany-san," he glanced at Antonio and his eyes widened. "Oh I see you have brought him... come in then." He said quietly flinching every time the Spaniard brushed against any of his furniture. China came up from downstairs.

"He's here, aru!" he said surprised.

"Yes now could you prease read them downstairs?" China nodded and led the men downstairs. Japan groaned and got out a pair of gloves. He went to the kitchen and got his cleaning supplies. He went back into the main room and started to scrub down everything.

China led the two men into the basement, which seemed surprisingly bare. He then went over to his brothers book case of general yaoi and pushed it to the side. A well lit corridor was shown. Antonio was the first one to go in. He was nervous at how secluded it was from the rest of the house. This told him so much more about Japan and China.

"What is this place?" he asked. China smiled and walked in front of the taller man.

"This is the place where we will be doing the testing, aru." he replied opening a door in front of him.

China sat Antonio on a small medical table. He went over to a small cabinet, he rummaged through it's contents and pulls out a needle. He keeps it behind his back and walks over to the Spaniard.

"Close your eyes, aru." he ordered. Spain looked at him terrified, he closed his eyes slowly. China put a glove on his hand and made Antonio look sideways. He wiped down a spot on his arm causing his eyelids to tighten. Germany sat down in the chair to Spain's right.

"This won't hurt a bit, aru!" he said assuredly. He stuck the needle up into Spain's upper arm piercing the vain. Antonio jerked at the sudden pain in his arm. Germany told him to stop in a rushed tone, but it was to late, the needle had snapped and was stuck in Antonio's arm.

Just then Japan walks in. He heard the screams and so he decided to go see how they were doing. Japan came closer with a pair of gloves on.

"Do we have to operate, aru?" he asked his younger brother. Japan just shook his head. He pinched the skin where the needle is and the tip of it came out of the hole. Antonio winced.

"Sorry Spain-san but this might hurt... a rot." Japan took the end of the needle into his grasp and pulled it out slowly. Spain tried not to act out again. He whimpered quietly.

"There it's out." Kiku stated patting Antonio's back for comfort. Antonio wiped his pained tears away. The short Japanese man got up from the table and took off his gloves carefully putting them in the trash.

"Now we are just going to do some tests, aru!" China said trying to hide his irritation. Antonio looked up at China saying, "What did that shot d-do?"

China chuckled. "It made you less contagious so we could do the test without getting infected. Ludwig got up, "Excuse me but I should go back and check on Feli and Lovino now." he walked back to the corridor entrance and shut the book case behind him, shuttering at his memories of the past.

"No, no that never happened it was just... a dream... a mere fairytale y-yes just a dream..." he continued to mumble to himself as he got back into his car. He turned on the ignition and headed back to Italy's house.

"So," Antonio started. "What kind of tests are you going to do on me?" He asked China. China just smiled and laid the Spaniard down on the table.

"I'm not aloud to discuss that with you." He said matter-of-factually. Japan came back with a surgeon mask on his face. He handed one to China. This caused Antonio to become very anxious.

"Don't worry, aru!" China said soothingly as he placed a mask with a tube attached to it onto Antonio's face. "You won't feel a thing." Japan rolled his eyes and flipped on a switched connected to a gas container.

"Now Spain, prease count down from 20." Japan asked politely. The wide eyed Spaniard stared at him but started to count down from the number 20.

"20, 19, 18, 17... 16... 15..." His eyes began to fall as he continued to count down. When he got to 10 it was just a mere mumble, until it was silence. Japan looked at his older brother. China nodded and they took the mask from Spain's face.

"How long do you think he'll be out, aru?" China asked the shorter man. Japan shrugged and said that it would be at least 2-3 hours. They started to work.
