Chapter 4

"What's the matter Scotland-san? You seem to be thinking more intently than usual," Japan asked the other nation during the break. Roughly one week had passed since Scotland saw England, and he had yet to get the idea that his brother was still alive out of his head. This included when he was supposed to be focusing on the G8 meeting he was hosting in London.

Since England disappeared, the rest of the United Kingdom's had taken turns in going to the meeting in England's place; and it was simply coincidence that the nest meeting after that encounter was Scotland's turn here. Part of him could not help but think that there was more to it than that, that he was supposed to use this opportunity to tell the others the truth despite what the queen thought. After all, the G8 meeting did not have as many nations as a normal meeting, and most of them would most likely not try anything on the confused nation…most of them. He may need to keep an eye on France, Russia, and possibly America; but the other four should be alright.

"Scotland-san?" Japan asked again, worried when he did not receive an answer. This time Scotland responded by giving a slight snort and said that he was simply thinking; causing Japan to slowly back away at realizing that he was not needed there.

France watched this casually on his way to the door; ignoring the temptation of poking fun at the Scotsman in favor of taking a quick walk to stretch his legs. Little did he know that it would not be a simple walk.

England was tired. He had spent the week desperately trying to block out the memories he received from his seeing Scotland by focusing more on work and school; and had become absolutely exhausted in the process. Now to make matters worse, he was told by his father, the supervisor of the staff at the palace, that once he was done with his tasks at the palace to go help out where some meeting was being held. As Arthur walked in the direction of the meeting he mumbled out several curses at the staff which decided to call in sick due to a 'sudden illness.' Not that he could blame them, he remembered when he was younger another special meeting like this being held where afterwards the room was practically ripped to shreds.

With a sigh, he turned to the hallway leading him to where the others were clearing the trays from lunch, only to pause when he ran into someone else with enough force to cause both of them to fall over. Arthur began to say an apology as he got up, only to stop when he looked at the man he ran into. The man was about his age, yet he knew that he had to be one of the special diplomats. But what startled Arthur the most were the long blond hair and blue eyes; just like the man had in the dreams recently. France looked up at the voice as he began to get to his feet; only to also stare at the Englishman he ran into.

"England? Is that you?" France asked, grabbing hold of Arthur's shoulders so that the other could not back away.

"I'm-I-I," England began, only to pause and give a shudder when he heard France mumble out, "And to think that after all those years the first time I see you you're dressed as a butler, honhonhon. Just kidding."

Upon hearing this, multiple images of the same man trying to molest him came to his mind and more, causing him to begin struggling while crying out "No" as loud as he could. The scream was enough to get the attention of everyone in the building, causing the rest of the nations to look up from what they were doing and think about how the voice sounded very much like England. Without saying anything more, they rushed out of the room and into the hall to see a shocked England inching away from a surprised France.

"England-san? Is that you?" Japan asked as shocked as all the others.

"It can't be! Iggy?!" America asked before starting as if to run up to him; only to be stopped by Scotland pulling his collar.

"Vee, but I thought he was dead," Italy commented happy to see that the other was in fact alive.

"England?" Canada simply asked upon noticing the other pale quickly and look as if he was terrified of them. England then shakily got to his feet and began to run away from them as fast as he could; knocking into several maids who came to check on the noise in the process.

"England? Wait!" France began, only to have Scotland punch him on the head roughly.

"'n what did ye do to 'im this time?" Scotland barked at the Frenchman.

"I didn't do anything to him. But he did look upset," France answered confused, only to then finally get off the floor upon realizing that he was still sitting.

"He didn't look well, maybe we should follow him," Japan offered, causing the others to join him in rushing in the direction Arthur ran. Soon after beginning, the group stopped in front of a locked door with several concerned servants trying to call out to Arthur to open the door.

"I take it he locked 'imself in," Scotland asked one of the maids, only to receive a nod.

"Iggy, ya in there? Come on, open up and start explaining!" Iggy called out while banging on the door, only to have no response.

"It may not be any use. He doesn't remember us," Scotland said aloud.

"What do you mean? What's going on? How long have you known about this?" France asked.

"Don't look at me like that! I just found oot he was aroond a couple days ago!" Scotland barked off. The others paused at this, each of them looking at the door.

America grew anxious at wanting to know what was happening and instead of listening to Scotland decided to get the answers from England himself. With this in mind, America told the others to get out of the way before he kicked the door down.

"England-san!" Japan exclaimed upon looking into the broken into room and finding Arthur unconscious; his hands clenching his heart and head.

"Oh, no, Arthur!" one of the maids exclaimed.

"Arthur? But that's England," Italy asked.

"Oi, go get a bag of ice," Scotland ordered the maid, causing her to rush to grab the ice while another servant went to call an ambulance.
