Chapter Three
It seemed like eternity as I sat waiting quietly for him to return and was glad when I heard the lock on the door click signaling that he was back.
"Sorry it took so long I had to hunt down Lithuania to have him help me find the supplies." He said in that accent I loved so much.
"It's fine." I whispered in response as I watched him close the door behind him and lock it.
I couldn't help but smile at all the precautions he seemed to be taking in order to assure I was safe but a feeling deep within my soul kept nagging and tearing at the very fabric of my soul. Somehow part of me doubted that all these precautions would stop them I knew that eventually they would end up finding a way around all of Ivan's 'barriers'.
"Kiku are you alright?" He asked me catching my attention.
I hadn't realized that I had completely zoned out for a while, I felt my face heat up in embarrassment.
"Gomenasai Ivan-kun," I quietly replied not sure if he heard me, "I didn't mean to zone out on you like that."
"It's alright Kiku," He said soothingly, "No matter what they will not get to you, I promise."
I weakly smiled at him as he continued to bandage my wounds but I still had my doubts, after all they have gotten passed his defenses to get to me before. I can still remember running through the school praying that they wouldn't catch me. Back then Ludwig fended Alfred and Arthur off in order to give me an opportunity to escape; I still remember hiding in the library. There I was surprised to run into Ivan since that was the time we weren't particularly together and I quickly learned why. It has been many years, most of which have been quiet, up until a few days ago or was it weeks? I can hardly remember how long it's been but I do know that the same war the three raged back then was picking up right where it left off. To say I was more than a little bugged and upset about it would be an understatement, epically.
I sighed as the memories began to catch up to me and yet I couldn't bring myself to talk about any of the things that were bugging me nor could I bring up the memory of that day at the school. I found it too hard to mention, but, knowing Ivan he would understand as soon as I looked him in the eyes. Because of that I'm trying so hard not to make eye contact with him, he's bound to notice soon, I know it.
"Kiku?"
The words sound so distant to me now that my mind has wondered; I close my eyes as if falling asleep. That accent of his is going to drive me crazy and there is nothing I can do about it.
"Kiku-."
He begins to try and ask me questions but it's too late I can't hear anything other than him mentioning my name. So many memories, so many good times and so many bad, god is there a way to erase some and leave others? I feel a gentle hand brush hair out of my face before turning my head.
"Kiku!"
I open my eyes only to stare into his purple eyes that remind me so much of the gem known as amethyst.
"You're still worried about them aren't you lyubov'?" He asked.
I nodded in reply unable to find words to answer him and he smiled knowingly.
"What else is plaguing your mind?"
I mentally flinch at the question, he's trying to get me to speak when he knows I simply can't nor do I want to. I open my mouth to say something but the words don't come to me, frustrating me to no end.
"Well?"
I dangerously narrow my eyes at him only succeeding in making him all too happy at my growing anger. He always has enjoyed it when I got rather 'hot under the collar', as they say, but still he knows I can play the game as well.
"You already know what else is troubling me." I whisper smirking as his smile fades.
He hates it when I counter him in his own game, but still I see why he enjoys it so much, hell even I get a kick out of it from time to time.
"I'm afraid I don't recall what you're talking about Kiku dear."
Again I mentally flinch and glare, this will go on for hours and I don't plan on being the one to lose.
"You sure about that?" I say trying my hardest not to hiss or yell, "If I recall correctly you were in the same library I was back then."
I narrowed his eyes now and I knew at that instant that I won the game, he was irritated by it too which was a plus for me. He will get me back later I'm sure of it, but for right now he's going to leave it.
"I must admit you have gotten better at playing my game Japan."
Yep he is definitely pissed about it, he never calls me Japan unless he is pissed off with me or irritated by something.
"I guess I have." I say before stopping myself but I'm not afraid, he won't hit me.
He stands up and walks over to the closest wall and punches it leaving a hole in the wall from sheer force. I calmly sit in the same spot I have been for god knows how long completely unfazed by the sudden outburst. I guess it has become an everyday sort of thing even though it has been a long while since he's had an outburst like this.
"THEY ARE ALWAYS THE ONES!" He yelled, "THEY ARE TO BLAME FOR EVERY DAMN THING THAT'S HAPPENED!"
As usual he blames everything on Alfred and Arthur, honestly I could care less who he blames so long as it isn't me.
"Ivan." I whisper trying to get his attention.
"WHAT!" He snaps.
I glare at him, "Who's to blame for what now?"
His gaze softens and he sits next to me once more and picks up where he left off, carefully moving the kimono from the upper part of my body. We sit in silence as he dabs some stuff on my wounds that stings making me hiss in pain, I guess this is what I get for winning his game.
"Forgive me I didn't mean to snap at you lyubov'."
I sigh, "I guess I'm sorry for beating you at your own game."
"Don't be."
I look at him in shock; he has never once said that to anyone even me. A knock sounds on the door interrupting my thoughts as both of us look over.
"Who is it?" Ivan hisses as he stands up and walks over to the door.
He opens it slightly and whispers with the person on the other side making me believe it's some military person. I look up at the ceiling ignoring the conversation since it's none of my business, though he'll more than likely tell me about it anyway but for now I don't think it a good idea to eavesdrop. I hear the door shut and immediately my attention goes back to Ivan who looks ghostly pale and angry.
"What are you so mad and scared about?" I ask yawning.
"Belarus is here."
My heart almost stops at the very mention of her name and instinctively I glance around the room looking for her. I fail miserably for it's just too dark in the room! I swear she is the inspiration behind the movies 'The grudge' and 'The ring'.
"Ivan turn on the light in this room, if there are no shadows she can't get in the room." I say even hearing the desperation and fear in my own voice.
Who the hell can blame me for freaking out? If she finds out I'm with Ivan, again, she'll try and kill me, again! Suddenly the bright lights glared in the room hurting my eyes for a moment as they adjusted to the change in lighting.
"Ivan?"
"I have no idea where she is but I know that they told her you were here."
"WHAT!" It was my turn to be angry, though I was more fearful than upset.
"Yeah."
"I truly have nothing against her Ivan, truly I don't, but she is flat our crazy, scary and crazy! I have I mentioned crazy and insane?"
"Calm down Kiku and yes you've mentioned crazy twice and no you haven't mentioned insane. I do agree with you though, she scares even me!"
I heard scratching on the other side of the door and immediately knew who it was, she had found us.
"Big brother! Come out and let me deal with Japan!" She yelled in a creepy voice.
"Not even when hell freezes over." He said loud enough for her to hear trying to keep the fear out of his voice but failed miserably.
"Kekkon, kekkon, kekkon…"
I don't know who screamed louder, me or Ivan, but the last thing I remember was the sound of glass shattering and Ivan cursing. As I felt my body fall backwards the last thing I saw was Alfred smiling almost triumphantly, then everything went black. The only thing racing through my mind was the undeniable fact that Alfred had found a way to get Belarus to help him and Arthur. That was the last thing I had expected…
I apologize for not uploading faster but I have been extremely busy lately dealing with some issues with the college I will be attending soon as well as computer problems to boot. It sucks DX my laptop has been in the shop for nearly a week now and I have to take it back on Monday since they still haven't fixed the problem! And college is fairly irritating me right now with the twenty things they decided to flat out change last minute and these changes have me extremely mad and frustrated as well as freaked out.
Again I'm truly sorry I haven't been updating, I promise I will try to upload a lot more but with these issues I can't make any guarantees on when the next chapter will be up.
Also there's one part in here that refers back to another Russia and Japan story I have called Love is War, if you want to understand more of what Japan means when he refers to it I highly suggest you go read it. Other than that enjoy! and sorry its not really long I tried to make it as long as I could without making it sound like it was running on and on about one thing, epic fail at the end I know. Still no flames please if you are going to comment and all flames will be used to roast marshmallows over the weekend with my friend Darklord1767!
