Now Is anyone excited to see Japan? I hope you like this chapter!


Chapter 3: Meet Japan

Italy wasn't the only ally Germany had. And we are going to met him today.

I already know who he is, Japan. Japan is one of the axis powers who the three will be known was one day. But I pretend to be clueless. How in the world am I suppose to explain to them that they are characters in an anime? I wonder how Japan will look like.

Wait… Japan… during WW2 Malaysia fell under the Japanese rule. Maybe Japan knows Malaysia, the character Malaysia! But there isn't a Malaysia character yet. Maybe I shouldn't ask Japan about Malaysia. He'll probably look at me as if I was crazy.

Anyway, we were going to met him today. Germany, in a black suit, brought us to Japan. I don't know how we got there not by plane and fast but we did. We arrived in front of Japan's home. Wow, his hall is huge, much bigger than Germany's or Italy's. Inside Japan's home was of a pale yellow and there was a painting of japanese characters. There was also a pot of blossom flowers. Nice. But Japan wasn't there when we arrived.

" Hello? Japan?" Germany asked. No one. We let ourselves in. I didn't know why Germany had to dress so formally. I wore a long-sleeved red dress shirt with flower prints on it with blue jeans. Italy was also in a suit, and I have no idea where he went now. He should have been with us, maybe he went to explore the place. Maybe I should have worn a dress or something. Oh well.

Then the door opened to reveal a eighteen to nineteen year old japanese guy with longish straight black hair with a fringe, his dark brown eyes scanned around the room nervously which eventually fell on us. He wore a white suit and with string like yellow shoulder pads and yellow outline. He also carried a samurai sword next to his belt.

" Hello Germany, nice to see you here." The guy said as he entered the room. " I see you have brought some people here. Konichiwa, I am Japan. I enjoy feeling the mood and refraining from speaking."

Wow, Riana wasn't kidding when she told me the stereotype about japanese people. The one she told me was japanese guys are sort of hot, Japan wasn't an exception. But he looks very nervous.

" It's true. Okay I brought two people who will be our new allies. Except one of them isn't really a country, she's here to help our new ally." Germany said.

" Do you speak of Italy? Alright, I am in agreement. Although I am curious, He's obviously not the suspicious character over there is he?" Japan asked. I looked at Italy who was flirting with three japanese girls who seem to like him. I rolled eyes and smiled, oh Italy. He's always like this.

" I don't want to believe it ether but, that's him." Germany said.

" And who is this girl here?" Japan asked, sweating nervously, I think he was referring to me. Okay Kristina, just like all other times. I feel myself blush, well I always do that when I met new people. I took in a deep breath and said " I'm Kristina, Italy's friend and apparently assistant. He's not very good when it comes to politics or much of war really but I think I can help him. But he really isn't bad as an ally."

" Oh I see." Japan said. Darn, snap it out Kristina, it's just first people meeting nerves. Darn Raina and her stereotype facts.

Then a guy wearing a suit just like Japan's went up to Italy and exclaimed " Improper!" I guess they didn't like flirting in this country. I glad I finally met an aisan country. I mean I like Italian and surprisingly german food but I need some aisan again.

Then Italy went up to us and said " Hello! Hey who is this?"

Japan was shy again. And then Germany said " This is Japan, the other ally." Italy also stopped talking. Maybe he has heard about Japan. But then Japan started talking nervously and Italy was surprised and started talking to him in his normal cheerful mood. Maybe these two will get along…

We were sitting at Japan's real house. Apparently what I thought was Japan's house was actually his government building. We went to his real home which was a traditional japanese house. I liked japanese culture so I felt welcome. But I was mostly silent. Yeah I do that a lot when I first met people. I was able to get along with Italy, Germany, Romano and Spain before because they ether reach out to me or we met in awkward situation.

Japan's different, he's quiet and shy, which makes me feel shy. Anyway, we were sitting around a small table, Japan was signing the document. There was a blanket beneath the table so we all put our legs beneath it to keep warm. Italy found it really comfortable and actually put his whole under the blanket and slept on his belly.

Germany was lying down too, staring at the ceiling. I got to admit I wanted to do it but I just don't want to make it like a home like what Romano yelled at me the other day. Instead I crossed my arms on the table and lay my head down, watching Japan. Why? Because I was bored. Italy's feet was on my crossed legs so it was sort of comfortable in a way.

When Japan finished signing, Japan put an orange on Italy's head. The orange just stood there. There was a white cat sitting next to Italy. Aww, I like cats, almost as much as dogs.

" I have signed the paperwork but he appears to be sleeping." Japan said.

" Yeah that is kind of his thing." Germany said. So it's official, Japan, Germany and Italy are allies. Plus me if you count me as Italy's help. For some reason, ever since I started living with him he's always asking me for help. Well, I could repay him for letting me stay in his house.

Then Japan was sort of staring at me, making me feel a little uncomfortable. Then the white cat started walking towards me. I stroked it's head and it purred. It lay down next to me while I keep patting it.

" Kristina." Japan said. I looked up at him.

" Are you a chinese?" Japan asked again.

" Yeah, how did you know?" I asked Japan. Germany was now eyeing me suspiciously. Huh? What's going on?

" I lived with China once, he's my older brother. So I know how people from his country look like." Japan explained. The cat purred again. Wow, the cat really likes me. Well, my ancestors are from China.

" I see." I said as I put the cat on my lap and stroke it again.

" I hope you are no offended Ms Kristina…" Japan started.

" Kris, just call me Kris." I said, telling everyone except Italy who was asleep and knows my nickname.

" Okay, Kris, I hope you are not offended but I suspect you are a spy." Japan said. I looked at Japan with surprise. What?! I'm not a spy.

" I knew there was something about you I didn't like. You do look a lot like a chinese. Are you working for China?" Germany said. " Your home could have been anywhere."

" No! I'm not working for China. I haven't even met him. Yes I am a chinese but that doesn't mean I stay in his country. There are a lot of chinese immigrants so there are now many chinese in certain aisan and european countries." I explained.

" That's true. I'm sorry. I just wanted to make sure." Japan said.

" Well, you don't look like the type China would send anyway." Germany said. I looked at Japan then Germany. The white cat meowed, begging for me to pay with it.

" Why are you guys so tensed when you asked if I worked for China?" I asked the two.

" Kristina, do you remember my enemy France?" Germany said. I nodded.

" Well he is in a group which we call the Allies. It consist of five countries who are in alliance and our enemy. They are Brittan, France,America, Russia and China. They are all very powerful so that's why we were worried you might be China's spy." Germany explained.

" Well, I hope I won't met them soon." I said, while playing with the white cat who was now nibbling my finger.

" Unfortunately, I think you will met them soon since we are in war." Japan said.

" Right, I keep forgetting that." I said as I looked at the cat. The cat was just soooo cute! I hope I can use swords or guns easily because I would probably need to fight.

Germany needs boats, Japan didn't get the point.

We were at a meeting when Germany asked Japan " Now Japan, Do you think you can make U-boats using those blueprints we have the other day?"

U-boats? What are u-boats. I struggled to remember the last time I learnt of world war then I remember U-boats were another word for submarines.

" Well, I think your design is much to big to in my home. But please, do not worry." Japan said. Then he took something out of his pocket and put it in his hands. It looked like a small ship. I think that's a model of a U-boat. " We succeeded in miniaturising it by using technology."

Miniaturising a ship?! Wow, that couldn't have been easy. It looks like a toy. I don't think Japan gets the idea Germany wants because Germany had to exclaimed " Wha! No way!" I wonder how Japan did it, maybe he can miniaturise the Allies…

" We have twelve random colour assortment and we shall release a new addition colours to match each season. A popular voice actress will advertise it for us too." Japan said. " Cool!" Germany exclaimed. I looked at it with boredom. I don't like vehicle toys.

And then, he put the U-boat aside and did some modifications to it. Suddenly, and I have no idea how, it became a huge gigantic robot! Wow! It's as tall as a building. We actually had to go outside for that. " And that it's ultimate final form." Japan concluded.

" This is wonder Japan!" Germany exclaimed. Wow!

" Japan, you made an ultimate distractible robot! Awesome! But just to remind you Japan this is war, not toy advertising and selling." I told Japan.

" Oh… well at least we can use the ultimate form." Japan said.

" How do you operate the ultimate form?" I asked.

" Um… I haven't figured that out yet…" Japan said. Well, now the U-boat toy is sort of useless unless we figure out how to use the U-boat ultimate form to attack the Allies.

Anyway, after a day's work, we decided to stay at Japan's house for the night. Cool, I've always wanted to stay in such a house. Japan and Italy were already outside having a bath in a sauna. Apparently Italy wants to be shrunken so I guess Italy would have that chance. I don't think Japan can shrink Italy, or will. Otherwise, I'll be carrying Italy in my pocket all the way back home. I don't want to take care of a shrunken Italy.

I was very bored so I decided to draw anime of a cat. I've been trying to master anime for a long time but it wasn't so easy. I try to make a cartoon anime cat but it just turned out wrong. " Argh! Why can't I draw anime right!" I exclaimed and threw my pencil down. The white cat found interest in it and started playing with it. I looked at the cat and smiled. " You are so cute you know that little white cat."

" It's name is Snow." a voice suddenly interrupted the silent room. My face suddenly turned red and I got a shock. I looked at the doorway and found Japan, wearing a kimono. He looks so different without his suit.

" How long have you been here?" I asked.

" Ever since you put out your frustration on anime." Japan said.

" Oh… so the cat's name is Snow." I said as I pat the cat. the cat stopped bitting my pencil and purred at my touch. I took the pencil, it was bitten all over with little cat bites. I sighed, I would need a new one soon.

" Yes. It's a very nice cat. I also keep another cat, it is black and white. I named him Japaneko. I also keep a dog named Pochi." Japan said sitting next to me on his knees.

" Japaneko?" I asked.

" Yes, I named the cat that because he sort of looks like me." Japan said. " So what were you trying to draw?"

" I was trying to draw an anime cat but I can't seem to do it. Every time I draw anime it just doesn't turn out right." I said, trying to find something Snow can play with since Snow was begging for a toy now.

" May I see?" Japan asked. I passed him my sketchbook and he looked at my drawing of a half anime, half american cartoon cat.

" Well, it's not bad, but you need to draw lightly when you make the marking otherwise it does not look nice." Japan explained. Afterward, Japan taught me how to draw an anime cat and learnt more about art. Huh, first I get an art lesson from Italy and now Japan. Cool. Japan said he can offer me lesson on how t draw anime. Great! I hate learning how to draw from books anyway.


Cool right? This is the part where Kristina's feelings start to spark, but for who? Let's see, The next chapter will be fun. It was also super long so I had to divide it into two chapters. I hope you like it! :)
