Chapter 3 Tempted by peaceful power
"And that concludes what's been happening in my country," 'Kiku' stated as he sat back down. The darker version of the nation inwardly smirked as his eyes swept around the room. None of the countries had noticed the changes in the quiet nation, and Kuro intended to keep it like that. At least for now.
The personification of Germany nodded. "Alright then. Does anyone else have to speak?" Ludwig asked.
A chain of shaking heads filled the room, and Ludwig nodded. "Then that concludes the world meetings for the month. The next one will be here on this designated date..."
Kuro looked over towards Lizzie, who had been watching him talk during his meeting. A light flush could be seen on the personification's face as she gave what she thought to be Kiku a small wave and smile, to which Kuro returned. The teenage appearing girl giggled a bit before walking out of the room, allowing Kuro to focus on his main objective.
Kuro's eyes darted towards Feliciano, who was busy talking to a pale, young woman that looked to be around 17, with short, rose red hair that was tied in a ponytail with a white ribbon. Sapphire blue eyes sparkled with amusement behind circle rimmed glasses as she talked with the personification of Northern Italy. Her outfit consisted of a white dress with red roses on it, white heels, and a blue, unbuttoned trenchcoat that seemed to flow like water behind her.
As Kuro walked closer to the two, faint laughter could be heard as the two talked. "Oh Feli, you are so charming. I think my older brother's rubbing off on you," The young woman giggled.
Feliciano could be seen blushing. "Aw, Antoinette! I'm not that bad am I? After all, you're the personification of Paris! You must be used to hearing stuff like this from your big brother." The personification of Northern Italy pointed out, a faint blush growing on his face.
Kuro watched Antoinette chuckle before kissing Feliciano on the cheek, the childish nation's blush deepening. "I have to leave with big brother France, Feli. But I hope to see you at the next meeting," The personification whispered before finally noticing what everyone thought to be the nation of Japan approaching the two, "Ah, bonjour Kiku. Ca va?"
"I'm doing just fine Antoinette, thank you. I was wondering if I could talk to Feliciano for a minute or two quick." Kuro inwardly chuckled as the woman nodded before walking out of the room. He looked over at Feliciano, his brown eyes closed happily and the blush on his face growing faintly.
"Antoinette seems to have a large crush on you, doesn't she?" Kuro pointed out.
"Si, she does. She's such a beautiful micronation," Feliciano sighed happily before snapping out of his romantic state of mind, eyes opening in concern as he looked at what he thought to be Kiku. "So what is it Kiku? Have you figured out a way to fix the mirror?"
"Actually, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. Could you come with me?"
The personification of Italy nodded as he followed what he thought to be Kiku down the halls into a nearby men's bathroom. However, just as the italian stepped into through the door, he felt a wave of nausea go through his entire body, and Feliciano had to lean onto the side of a bathroom stall to prevent himself from fainting. Ve?! What is this feeling? The personification wondered.
"You see Feli, I found out a little bit that mirror you found. It reflects the inner darkness of a nation. The side that we were back in wars long ago. The side that haunts you and I in our dreams..." Kuro whispered.
Feliciano couldn't help but shudder at the way 'Kiku' was speaking. Especially since a somewhat red glow was starting to emerge from the personification of Japan's eyes as he locked the bathroom door before continuing to speak. "Ever since I looked in the mirror yesterday, something been stirring inside of me. Something... dark," Kuro stated.
"Ve, Kiku... You're starting to scare me a bit." Feliciano pointed out.
Kuro smirked, a dark look appearing in his eyes. "Of course, so did Luciano." The nation retorted.
The personification of Italy gasped. "How did you know about my darker half!? I never told you about him Kiku!" Feliciano wailed.
Kuro gave a laugh. "Oh, foolish Feli. You haven't noticed who I am? After all, the last time you saw me was in 1945."
Another gasp escaped Feliciano's mouth. "You're the one Kiku always tells me about whenever he had nightmares of that time! You're Kuro!" The personification of Italy exclaimed.
"That's right. And thanks to you, the seal that was holding me and Luciano back has become undone. There's nothing you and Kiku can do about it."
Feliciano was about to speak again, when another wave of nausea coursed through his body and he was forced to grabbed the edge of a bathroom sink to stay balanced. His eyes locked onto a nearby mirror, and the nation couldn't help but cry out as he saw that his eyes had changed from brown to red violet, glowing darkly in the dimly lit bathroom.
"No! What is this!?" Feliciano whispered quietly.
Kuro laughed. "It sounds like Luciano wants to come out and play," the dark version of the nation exclaimed, taking out a serrated knife and placing it to the side on the counter, "And I know he's gonna want his favorite weapon when he finally awakens."
Feliciano glared at the nation. "I won't ever let you let him out!" The personification of Italy exclaimed.
The dark side of Kiku chuckled as he shook his head. "But Feli, don't you want to be able to help your friends in the future? After all, when war would break out, you would always leave your friends to fight while you surrendered." Kuro pointed out.
Feliciano stopped his wailing at looked at Kuro in surprise. "W-What do you mean?" he whispered.
Kuro smirked. I'm starting to get his attention. Excellent. "You see Feli, peace can only be achieved with power in a war. The more power one has, the easier it is to achieve peace. Wouldn't you prefer a more peaceful world, Feliciano?" Kuro asked, playing with the personification's hair.
Feliciano's breath had grown steady, his eyes glazing over slightly as he stared into Kuro's glowing red eyes. "I-I guess so..." The nation stuttered, his voice almost monotoned, as if he was in some sort of trance.
The darker nation chuckled. He was desired peace between nations... It's such a shame that once Luciano comes, that peace will end... But I can't let him know that now can I? "You've always desired peace, right Feli?" Kuro asked, a gloved finger playing with the curl on the younger looking nation's hair.
Feliciano blushed, his eyes almost fully glazed over. "Y-Yeah... I have..." he whispered.
"Then... All you have to do is let out that inner side of you Feli. Let him take over every part of your being and mind and allow Luciano to awaken from his slumber," Kuro whispered, his voice silky as he directed Feliciano's gaze towards the mirror. The personification's eyes had fully glazed over, entranced by Kuro's tempting offer and dizzy from the waves of nausea coursing through his body.
"L-Let go..." Feliciano whispered in a monotone voice, his eyes starting to flutter shut.
Kuro nodded. "That's right Feliciano. Just let go to Luciano's hold, and rest easy in the darkness," The dark nation stated.
The silky words and nausea were finally too much for Feliciano, as he collapsed onto the floor. Kuro chuckled as the nation stood up, an almost menacing smirk on Feliciano's face as he stared at Kuro. "For someone who hasn't awakened in years, your mind games are still effective. Tempting little Feli with peace and power... That was a pretty cruel thing you did Kuro," 'Feliciano' pointed out.
"I wouldn't talk Luciano. You've been known to break any toy you play with. That, however, is how I must thank you, since breaking little Kiku created me in his place." Kuro stated as he handed Luciano the knife.
Luciano took one look at the knife and smirked. "My serrated knife. How nice of you to give me back my little 'toy' Kuro." the dark personification chuckled as he placed the knife in a belt around his waist before looking up at Kuro, "So how are the other nations? Are they as gullible as the last time we came out and played?"
Kuro chuckled as he whispered into Luciano's ear, the dark nation's eyes lighting up with each word. "Interesting. Who would've thought the quiet Kiku and little Feli had crushes on micronations. And one of them created the seal that held us captive for 70 years." Luciano chuckled.
"They'd make excellent soldiers in the future, when we take down all the other nations," Kuro stated before looking over at a nearby bathroom stall, "Starting with the little worm that over heard the whole thing. Am I right, Romano?"
The bathroom door slammed open as the personification that represented the southern part of Italy stepped out, a pocket knife in his hands. "Alright then. Give back my brother and his friend you bastards, and I won't hurt you as much as I'd want." Romano threatened.
Kuro chuckled as his uniform went from white to black, and pulled out the katana from his sheath before aiming it at Romano. "If you think you are able to defeat me, then perhaps I should teach you a lesson. You will be the first to fall at the hands of darkness. Nothing can prevent you from taking us down." Kuro stated, his eyes glowing red as the room grew dark.
