Chapter Four

Taiwan was sound asleep in her bed thanks to the sleeping pills she took earlier that night. Sure China was a huge pain, but she still cared about him... sort of. When she found out what had happened she was going to go visit him when he didn't answer his phone, but her boss forbid her from leaving. This did nothing to lighten the load of worries already on her mind and made it difficult for her to get to sleep that night.

"Teacher... are you okay?" Taiwan said in her sleep unaware of the shadowy figure lurking toward her. She continued to mumble and twitch in her sleep as the figure came closer. "Teacher!" Taiwan shouted sitting up suddenly as she awoke from the unpleasant dream she was having. Still groggy she looked at the person that was sitting on her bed in confusion.

"Japan?" She said gazing at him through half open eyes.

"Good evening Taiwan-chan."

"Why are you here? Is something wrong?" She asked her heart already swelling with anxiety.

"No, everything is fine. I just wanted to make sure my favorite nation was safe."

"Me?" Taiwan asked in disbelief.

"Yes, you." Japan smiled moving closer.

Under normal circumstances Taiwan would be overjoyed to hear her adorable brother favored her, but things were not normal. "Have you heard from Teacher? Is he he alright?"

"He's just fine." Japan lied patting the top of her head then moving his hand down to caress her face. "No, need for your to worry about him. Besides you're cuter when you're smiling."

"Japan is acting strange." Taiwan thought feeling highly uncomfortable. "Japan, are you feeling okay?" She asked lightly pushing his hand away from her face and bringing the back of her own to his forehead.

Japan laughed. "What are you doing? I'm just fine." He said taking her hand from his head then kissing it.

"Ew!" Taiwan thought seeing the look in his eyes as his lips caressed her hand in a very unbrotherly fashion. "NO!" She screamed then punched him in the face when he tried to lean her back onto the bed. Taiwan jumped out the bed into a fighting stance. "I don't know what's gotten into you Japan but you're not acting very cawaii right now." She said angrily.

Japan sat on her bed holding his face. Taiwan had a mean left hook. His head was spinning so hard he hadn't heard a word she said. Recovering from the heavy blow he chuckled. "I forgot that you like it rough." Japan said then stood up and took off his belt and started to undo his pants.

Taiwan faltered in disgust but quickly recovered and promptly planted her foot knee deep in his crotch. Taiwan jumped back as Japan doubled over in pain. Japan looked up at her glaring.

"Haven't had enough? Well, there's more where that came from!"

A gust of cool wind blew threw Taiwan's inclosed room. Something was about to happen, something awesome then "DONG!" An oversized ladle came crashing down on Japan's head knocking him out as Hong Kong landed on top of him. "What's up?"

"EH?! What's up?!" Taiwan screeched.

"Taco?" Hong Kong said as he stood up off of the unconscious Japan.

"What are you doing here? AAAGH! Why is there a hole in my ceiling?!" She screamed looking up into the night sky through the very sloppily made hole Hong Kong had entered from.

"Like I just totally saved your life, Jackie Chan style. You could you like thank me and sign this contract to be my military alley against Teacher and like a few other dudes." Hong Kong said holding up a thick single spaced document he had pulled out of thin air.

"Eh? What?" Taiwan asked caught completely off guard by Hong Kong's request.

Japan moaned on the floor.

"Like no time. We'll discuss it at my secret base." Hong Kong said then grabbed Taiwan's hand and ran out of the house to the helicopter outside.

Hong Kong's Secret Base

Taiwan sat in her pajamas at a noodle stand with a cross expression on her face. "This is your secret base?" She asked unimpressed.

"Yup." Hong Kong answered as he slurped his ramen.

Taiwan shook her head fighting off the urge to rage at him. "So, what's going on?"

"Like, Japan was totally perving on you when I was inhabited by the spirit of Jackie Chan and saved you. Then you were like 'Hong Kong, your my hero! How can I ever repay you?' all seductive like. Then I was like 'Taiwan, but you're like totally my sister.' Then you were like-."

Taiwan splashed her cold bowl of noddles in his face. "Seriously, what's wrong with you?"

"Like gross! This is silk! Do you know how expensive it is to clean ramen soup out of silk?" Hong Kong said cleaning the noodles from his face.

"Like you're hurting for anything. What was your GDP again?" Taiwan asked narrowing her eyes at him.

"But like, that was my favorite shirt." Hong Kong said then ripped it off and tossed it in a near by garbage can. He then pulled an almost identical one from thin air and put it on surprising Taiwan who decided to just ignore what he just did and continue the conversation.

"Why did Korea shoot at Teacher? (I thought guns weren't really his style). Is he okay? Why won't he answer his phone?" Taiwan was talking a mile a minute. She only stopped when Hong Kong held up his hand.

"Like Korea didn't shoot at Teacher it was just some guards on their boarders playing with each other."

"Playing?" Taiwan repeated. "He calls nearly starting a war playing?!" She thought her right eyebrow twitching.

Hong Kong ignored her and continued to speak. "Like, no one even knows where Korea is right now." He said then started helping himself to a second order of ramen that was placed in front of him.

"What about Teacher?" Taiwan asked becoming irritated with her sibling.

"Oh!" Hong Kong said after a simi-long slurp. "He's kinda in critical condition at a hospital in Beijing. Like The Party is totally freaking out so I kinda declared independence and sorta took over Teacher's house since he's probably gonna die and all." Hong Kong said then went back to slurping his noodles.

"What?" Taiwan said quietly her eyes filling with tears. "How can you sit here stuffing your face?! Don't you even care a little? Not that I have a problem with you aside from the fact we agreed that if Teacher kicked the bucket I had dibs on the mainland!"

Hong Kong took the nearly empty bowl from his face and looked at Taiwan. His expression was the same as always but there was a deep sadness in his eyes. Why hadn't she noticed it before? Just looking at him made her want to cry. Taiwan was about to apologize when Hong Kong spoke. "Like sorry, but you're broke. Make more money than me and I'll hand the western half over to you right away."

"Jerk!" Taiwan said angrily.

"I love you too." Hong Kong said as he drank the soup from his bowl. Grabbing up the third order that was placed in front of her brother Taiwan dumped it on his head.

Hong Kong flinched under the piping hot ramen. "So like you'll still be my alley anyway right?" He said holding up the document, the pages now stained with ramen.

Taiwan stood up and started to walk away. "You have your money. What do you need a broke nation like me for? Hmph!"

A/N:

Japan:

Just to be clear good Japan has a couple sword holes in his gut so he's not the one trying to commit incest in this chapter. Unless they appear simultaneously in a chapter I'll only refer to original and 2P as simply Japan.

DISCLAIMER!

In no way does 2P's sick and sadistic behavior reflect my overall thoughts of modern Japan or the nation and its people as a historical whole. He like any other 2Ps that might appear in my story only represents the seriously bad parts of the nation's present and past. In other words junk that puts a serious downer on the hands across the world theme of Hetalia.

Rich Nation Poor Nation:

According to indexmundi.c o m's compilation of information taken from the CIA's (online) World Factbook in 2012 Hong Kong placed 11th for the country with the highest GDP while Taiwan came in at 29th.
