~Last Chapter~

China walked around the house and stopped at a very old and chained door up. It was hidden well under the rice wallpaper but it was torn one day when China accidentally ripped it when tripping over something. Any ways every time he tried to get close to the door, sudden grief and pain would wash over him, giving him neither energy nor enthusiasm to open the door. But this time it's different. It was like as if it was calling him to open its doors to revile something... ancient. He could feel it among all the grief and sorrow.

He trialed his hand over the designs of the beautiful craved artwork and he ripped the rest of the rice paper away from the corners of the door. The door itself was just about his height, a bit over. China pulled the chains off which took a while. China got anger marks on his head just pulling them off. After three more minutes he finally got the chains off. He was just about to kick down the door but thought otherwise. He sighed and pushed opened the surprisingly heavy door and was greeted by nothing...

It was just an ordinary room like the ones from ancient China, where the kings still lived but it felt like it was from a different dimension and that itself had put the elder's mind into the past. China collapsed as he dove into the past.

~ Flash back ~

"Gu gu! Gu gu!" yelled a small child's voice. China found himself in a bamboo forest that he couldn't recognize. But he can recognize all the bamboo forest in China. "Gu gu!" yelled the child's voice again, "Come play with me!" China found himself smiling at the young boy.

The young boy looked about two and he had his light brown hair down which made him look like a girl but you still can tell that he's a guy. He had bright brown-golden eyes that sparkled in the sunlight. He wore a small kimono like dress and held a little ball in his hands, running towards his supposedly "gu gu". The "gu gu" looked back and chuckled at the small child and whispered something into the child's ear.

The "Gu gu" looked about three but somehow his face was blurred out. He also had his dark brown hair down and he held a sweet smile on his face. He was also wearing the kimono like dress. Then he put a lovingly hand on the child, since their height wasn't as different, and told the child that he would play with him later.

China suddenly felt a sudden hurt as the little brother dropped the ball onto the ground and sadly nodded. "But I'll promise to play with you tomorrow!" promised the other brother seeing how sad the younger looked. Hearing that, the smaller one suddenly brightened up and nodded eagerly, picking the ball up. At that moment, China couldn't help but smile at them too.

The scene changed to the on with the simple bedroom. The once small child is now four and he was packing up. Suddenly the door was busted open by a panting five year old. "Why di di? Why must you go?" asked the older one. The younger one shook his head and put a hand on the older's shoulder. "I'll come back, it wouldn't be long..." started the younger one, sadness lacing his voice, "they had it all planned, and I can't change it." "But I made you a promise that I would protect you and you would stay by my side forever!" shouted the older one. The younger one hugged the older one and busted into tears. Soon they were both like that, crying for each other. China soon felt unbearable pain in his heart as he clenched it tightly. It felt like as if Japan's attacking and leaving him all over again.

Then before the the scene faded away, he heard two sentences of another language. "Nuu a gu gu jiao Wang Yao" and "Nuu se Zhong Gou".

~ End of Flash back ~

"Ch...Chin...CHINA-SAN!" yelled a familiar voice. China woke up and found that Japan had awoken him from his flash back. China stared into those brown hues that looked at him with worry. He sat up quickly and put his hand on his head, trying to stabilize his headache by reflex. "I'm sorry Japan… I think I just remembered something from the past…" apologized China, closing his eyes.

"The past….?" repeated Japan, tilting his head to the left a little, 'What past?' he thought. China turned towards him, his eyes opened and their gaze held for a moment. 'China-san has beautiful golden eyes under the sun…' thought Japan staring into China's eyes.

That's when a loud "ANIKI~!" and "Yao-ge!" sounded throughout the walls of China's home. Japan and China stared at each other for a few moments then started to run like crazy towards the shouts.

~ Earlier Before ~

'Where should I start?' Korea thought to himself, thinking of all the things that maybe China-Hyeong might have hid away from everything. 'Um… maybe his bedroom?' thought Korea heading towards China's bed room in dramatic thought position, "Oh well~! Guess I just have to check, da ze~!" laughed Korea.

Once he got there, to his disappointment, he found Vietnam already checking the shelves and Thailand looking around the room. "Hey Viet, Thai, da ze~!" he called Vietnam and Thailand by their nickname, catching the both of their attention, "Have you guys found anything interesting yet, da ze?" Thailand and Vietnam both sighed and shook their hands simultaneously. Korea pondered at the result. "How could China-hyugen's culture be related to this, da ze?" pouted Korea thinking dramatically once again, "All the awesome culture originated from me, da ze~!"

Vietnam and Thailand just sighed and shook their heads. Vietnam suddenly got a sudden thought as fast as a gunshot, 'No, it can't be… that… China has something to do with this himself?' Vietnam thought, staring at the floor. She shook her head, dismissing that thought. Thailand stood up, "I'm going to take a break," he said out loud as he walked out of the room but paused as the door frame, "you guys coming?" he asked looking behind him. Vietnam nodded as she stood up, dusting off her dress. Korea shook his head.

"I'll search around a bit more, da ze~!" he said cheerfully.

After Vietnam and Thailand left, Korea put on a predatory smile, 'what could China-hyugen be hiding in here~?' he thought. He looked around the room scanning the neat bookshelves of different things that lined up perfectly. There was a window near China's bed and the rice wallpapers that decorated the room made the room look peaceful. The room itself wasn't big but I looked pretty spacey and comfortable like a real house, always taken care of.

Korea narrowed his eyes and went up to one of the bookshelves and stared suspiciously at one of the books at his eye level. The book stared back innocently. He glared at it and, if it was possible, it started sweating. Korea moved his gaze to something else but something caught his eyes. It was a lever in between the two walls of the bookshelf walls. How he saw that he has no idea. 'Found it~!' Korea thought to himself happily as he pulled the lever. The space behind the lever opened up to a slot. A tiny wooden box was inside of the slot. As he was bending down to pick it up, the door slammed open (how did the door close in the first place?) Taiwan and Hong Kong came stomping in. Well actually Taiwan stomped in as Hong Kong followed her in.

"I will not accept this!" Taiwan shouted as Hong Kong nodded along, pretending to listen, "I can't find anything! But I think it should be somewhere here…" she trailed of as saw Korea staring at them, curious and kinda startled from the intrusion. "K-Korea!" stammered Taiwan, "what are you doing here?" He continued staring at her then gestured towards the box. Taiwan pouted about how both Korea and Hong Kong was being so untalkative today and then took the box away from Korea and stared at it. Korea lunged for the box to get it back ('it's only fair for the person who found it see what's in it first, da ze~!')

"Korea… what is this?" asked Taiwan as she studied the box, holding it in front of her. Korea shrugged, "I pulled the lever there and then the slot opened up and then that bow popped up out of nowhere, da ze~!" explained Korea making many hand motions and pointing to stuff. "Clam down, Korea!" I don't know what you're saying!" Taiwan half shouted. Korea pouted and started to tell them the "long story of my discovery, da ze~!"


Yeah, that's all for now~! Hopefully I didn't upset up for what's behind the door... through...
