A/N: Sorry for being gone so long for those who have been waiting for the next chapter! I started getting busy with other stuff than needed to be done and I've had a bit of writer's block for a while, but I'm back so yay!
"Ore-sama nikki, tori gatsu piyo nichi. Yesterday I was so awesome as I saved Berlin from capture! However, I will not be disrespectful to those who lost their lives in battle. They will be sorely missed. My interrogation with Kyrussia is going well, though it's very difficult. She refuses to tell me the deep stuff and when we're close enough to it she changes the subject.
"Did I mention that she is actually a girl? I found that out as I was performing a rather violent questioning session, but only after she was left bleeding. For some odd reason I kind of feel sorry for her, but she was asking for it! Still, I have to say she has a lot of inner strength.
"Hungary is still angry at me for yesterday. She wouldn't even look at me at the World Meeting today. I didn't think she'd be bringing that pampered pansy here! I swear Austria lowered my A.Q (Awesome Quantity) by 95% when he walked into the room. I want to apologize to her, but I can't when she won't even let me get near her, so I'll just say it here.
"Hungary, I am so very sorry for insulting Austria that way. I just hope you'll forgive me for being like a jerk. And, I also want to say something really important as I didn't get to last time-"
"Prussia, Germany wanted me to tell you zhat your pancakes are ready." Kyrussia peered through the doorway like a shy child.
"Eh? Ja, tell him I'll be down." Prussia said, who, in contrast, was like a disinterested teenager.
"What is zhat?" She muttered.
"This?" He held his diary in his hands and grinned. "This is my pride und joy! Well, one of zhem anyvays. I keep all events zhat happen to me in zhis book!"
She didn't answer for a moment, but simply blinked once and stepped away from the door.
"Just get down here. Germany says if you don't he's going to feed your food to zhe dogs."
With that Prussia jumped up and raced out of his room. He didn't bother to stop and check his surroundings until he tripped over the Dachshund and stumbled all the way down the stairs trying not to fall.
"West! I swear if you already gave my pancakes to Blackie I vill-" Before he could finish his sentence he fell flat on his face due to the constant dancing he performed.
"Oh there you are, Gilbert." Germany said calmly. "You're pancakes are ready. Syrups on the table like always. Help yourself."
After picking himself up, Prussia quickly swirled around in a daze before facing forward and straightening his coat, walking as if nothing happened before he joined Kyrussia and Berlin at the table. Berlin giggled quietly at his amusing appearance and looked to Kyrussia.
"He's very silly, isn't he?" She smiled.
"An interesting boy, I'll say zhat."
Prussia didn't know whether to take that as a compliment or an insult, but either way he blew a head gasket.
"Is zhat any way to treat zhe one who saved you from bleeding out?" He shouted.
"I don't know you tell me Capitan Oblivious!" She battled back, but paused for a second. "Vhat do you mean?"
Germany was the last to sit down next to his brother and little sister with a hot cup of coffee. He took a sip and then proceeded to spin the tale of what had happened.
"I had taken Prussia into zhe house to get his wound fixed up vhen he stopped me by dragging his feet. He told me he had to go back und I almost refused vhen he let go of my shoulder und started going out himself. Next thing I know he comes in with you half-conscious due to massive blood loss. All he did was wrap your leg to stop zhe bleeding as much as possible. We were going to get zhe bullet taken out, but it looks like you've done zhat for us."
"We need to get it looked at so it doesn't get infected!" Prussia persisted.
"Nein! I am just fine!" Kyrussia rejected.
That hit home for him and Prussia sat back down quietly. Hungary was the same way when he had tried to help her when she was hurt. He ate his pancakes with a pout on his face and didn't look up even when she pushed out her chair.
"I've had enough of zhis." She announced and left.
Silence filled the room once again when Germany broke the ice.
"She's been through a lot, Prussia, und so have you. Don't spit so much venom und she'll warm up to the fact zhat she's going to be here for a while."
"How can I when she's the one who always starts it?"
"There is no need to instigate it even further. Consider her situation und at least try to make friends vith her. Maybe, just maybe, we vill be able to get more information out of her und create peace between us."
Prussia shoved his chair back in frustration and pointed his last bit of food on the edge of his fork at Germany.
"You can have fun vith zhat, Ludwig, but as long as she's my prisoner we vill do things my way." With that he took a bite and stormed out.
Germany sighed and took another drink of his coffee. Berlin sat happily eating her breakfast when she looked up and saw that he was the only one left.
"Bruder, where is Gilbert?"
He reached over and patted her head softly.
"He's going to help keep you safe by creating a friendship vith our enemy, Zita. For you, for our home, for his people and for himself."
"Ore-sama nikki, tori gatsu piyo nichi. Today I am going to brush up on one of my learned languages, German, as my own would just be too hard for those who read this to understand. Anyways, this is day two of my capture by Prussia and his brother, Germany. The plan to claiming Berlin and therefore taking over this land has been put down until further notice. For a while I have been fighting against them in order to have full control of them and for a good reason. To take over a strong nation is to have a strong army wrapped around my finger. To have this is to be able to win every battle we face with victory until we conquer each country in the world.
"My goal is to take over the world with little effort, to make everyone crumble under my power so that they have no other choice but to submit to me. That is why I was created. Sometimes, though, I wonder what it's like to live a normal life, to not worry about comebacks from your enemy or rebellion in your people all the time. I'm quickly taken out of thinking this way with some vodka, courtesy of Russia, and a good fight.
"Germany is someone to be well-respected. He's strong and loyal, not wanting to leave his older brother behind and willing to protect his little sister at all costs. That is why I need him to comply, to harness his power and use it as my own. Prussia is a different story. He's arrogant, annoying, self-centered and fairly rude, but damn he's a good fighter. Both are completely opposite, but they work as one. All my brother and sisters did was demean me and try to break me from the moment I found them. Pathetic hypocrites.
"But did I cry? Did I give up and become like them to be accepted by them? Look at me and tell me I'm wrong. I've become stronger than they could be and soon - soon - they will realize my true potential and be not forced, but wanting, needing, to become apart of my kingdom. Of course I will accept them because who can turn down prey willing to be caught? Not this hunter, that's for sure. This is your future ruling empire signing off."
Kyrussia silently closed her book and smiled as she tied the blood-red ribbon around the cover. Slipping the pen in one of the folds she tucked it under the pillow on the bed she was staying at and walked to the window, gazing at the land that would've been hers. The sun sank coyly into the horizon and hid from her violent stare until all that was left was bright darkness, both in the sky and in her heart.
