Okay, this is my longest chapter yet which is weird as it's just pairing ideas I wanted to squeeze in...not that I'm complaining.
This chapter includes normal pairings and Yaoi as well as talk about jumping off a cliff so be warned.
Also, since I haven't said it for a while, I don't own Hetalia, Vocaloid, The Seven Deadly Sin songs or songs relating to them or any other songs or things that are refered to or mentioned.
Enjoy! XD
so be warned
The deep purple mist began to disappear as the silver band slipped off Italy's finger and began to float towards the box in Japan's hands.
Japan opened the box and shut it quickly as soon as the ring had entered.
"The artefact of Lust has now been captured!"
"Gut…" Germany smiled as the purple robes on his Italian friend faded back into his usual Italian military uniform, Italy opened his eyes, which were now their normal brown colour to Germany's relief.
"Ger-I mean, Holy Rome!"
"It's okay Italy, you can call me Germany if you find that more comfortable," Italy nodded.
Germany looked at the smaller nation who was now turning back into his old self, even half-closing his eyes again!
"I'm glad to have you back, Italy."
"Me too, Germany."
Belgium rubbed her eyes and looked up to see a blushing Romano.
"Romano…?" The dress and ribbon had vanished leaving the blond haired nation back in her usual white blouse and long skirt.
The Italian grunted.
"You okay? You think you can stand up alright?"
"…Yeah…" Belgium pulled apart from Romano and began to walk to the exit, Romano scowled.
"You're not okay at all, you're stumbling everywhere! Here, I'll carry you."
He picked her up and carried her on his back.
"R-ROMANO! PUT ME DOWN!"
"Oh, so now you're okay," he smirked, Belgium blushed.
"N-Not entirely…everything is still swaying a little…"
"Then you can stay on my back until you feel better, can you remember anything?"
"A little…I remember walking in here…and being with Taiwan and Ukraine and…" She smirked.
"I remember kissing you…"
Romano blushed, "w-why would you remember something like that?"
Belgium's arms snaked around his neck and she rested her head on his shoulder, "because I can."
They kissed again. A kiss longer and more passionate than the first leaving them gasping for breath when they broke away.
"Belgium?"
"Yeah?"
"Who do you like more? Me or Spain?"
"Why the hell are you asking me that?"
"Just answer the question!" Belgium sighed.
"I don't know…I like you both so much for different reasons and we always hang out together playing and eating snacks…"
"Yeah…I understand…and you're brother hates us so…"
"I don't really hate him for that though! I know he just wants whats best for me. But still…I'm sorry but I can't answer that right now…"
"I understand. I'll be waiting for the day you do though so it better be soon!"
"But what if it turns out to be Spain?" Romano glanced at the floor.
"I don't care if that happens, as much as I want it to be me, I also want you to be happy. Spain too!"
Belgium smiled, Romano sighed.
"You know? You can sleep if you want to, I'll just give you to The Netherlands as soon as I see him."
Belgium nodded and closed her eyes.
"Romano…?"
"Yeah?"
"Thank you…for everything you said…"
Romano grunted.
"Yeah sure, you're welcome. You can tell me anything you know."
"…Yeah…Thanks…"
"Good! Now get some sleep ,okay?"
"…Kay…"
America managed to get into the mansion a couple of seconds after the mist lifted and soon he, and all of the other worried male nations, had burst into the hall and relived nations were able to take away their sisters and friends.
The Netherlands took Belgium of Romano's back and grunted a brief thank you to the Italian.
"I'll call you when she wakes up," he said, Romano nodded.
"Thanks. Any sign of Spain?" The Netherlands scowled.
"No, I bet that idiot did something stupid and got arrested again."
Romano felt his heart sink, "yeah, that's probably it."
It better be it!
Ukraine sat up and looked around.
"Brother? Estonia?"
The two said nations smiled.
"Sister!"
"Miss Ukraine!"
Ukraine's eyes began to surge with tears as she dived into her brother's arms.
"Oh, brother! It's terrible! I can't find Belarus anywhere!"
Russia's smile dropped.
"What do you mean?"
"When I got up this morning she wasn't in the kitchen or in her room so I asked Lithuania to look for her but when he went upstairs I heard a scream and then everything went blank!"
She burst into tears, leaving poor Russia to try and calm her down.
"Now, now, Ukraine. We'll find her I promise!" He looked at Estonia.
"Shouldn't Belarus be here if Ukraine is?" Estonia shook his head.
"I haven't seen her! It's strange though, the trance would have effected her if it had got her sister."
He thought for a minute.
"The trance wouldn't have effected a nation who was under the influence of an active Sin…It would have been able to affect someone who wasn't or if the Sin was resting." Russia's eyes widened.
"So you're saying my sister may be possessed?!" Estonia shook his head.
"There could be another reason she wasn't effected," his eyes narrowed, "she is captured or held up by somebody under the influence of an active Sin."
Russia's face turned as white as a sheet, Estonia placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry though, she has Lithuania around and she isn't exactly the best person to mess with. She'll be fine."
Russia smiled.
"Da, you're right. Please take my sister home and call me when you find out where they both are.
Estonia nodded and escorted Ukraine to the exit, Russia watched them leave.
Please be safe. Belarus… Lithuania…
"OKAY DUDES, GRAB YOUR GIRL AND GET OUTTA HERE!" America shouted as a small stream of nations left the hall, he caught a glimpse of France in the corner, holding a still unconscious England.
"England?" America ran over to France.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO HIM?"
"I didn't do anything!"
"THEN WHY IS HE IN YOU'RE ARMS!"
"IT WAS THE SIN, NOT MOI!"
"Will both of you bastards shut up?" Romano yelled, he sighed.
"I guess we're all tired so you can all rest in my living room, I'll make some snacks.
He looked at Germany, still holding Italy steady.
"Potato bastard can come since I'm kindda thankful for him saving my brother."
He looked at France.
"You can bring him over when he wakes up. It's probably safer not to move him while he is still unconscious." Italy smiled.
"Ve~ Romano's being kind because he's been talking to Belgium!" Romano blushed.
"No I'm not! I'm just concerned for the British Bastard's safety and Japan keeps telling me that tsunderes should always look out for each other, whatever that means."
The group left leaving the Frenchman and the Brit alone, with the Brit in the Frenchman's arms.
France felt the younger nation move in his arms.
"Mmmmm…Frog?"
"Ah, you're awake!" France grinned as England figured out what was going on and began to freak out.
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON?"
"Oh, you know, a little quality time with Big Brother France~"
England sighed.
"…Git…" France raised his eyebrows.
"Do you want me to let you go?" England blushed.
"Can we stay like this for a little longer? This reminds me of when we were kids…"
France chuckled, "fair enough."
The two hugged in absolute silence.
"…Frog?"
"Oui?"
"You know how before I went weird the Sin was talking about making you fall to the temptation of your desires? Does that mean you…"
"Oui…but I can't," France sighed. "I guess I really need to explain, don't I?" He took a deep breath.
"You see, when we were kids I liked you…a lot. You were a little brother to me and…well…I only pretended to hate you…but I guess you figured that out when I helped you out of all sorts of scraps."
"Mmm, I remember," England had desperately tried to forget the time he grew his hair too long and had to ask France for help but it never seemed to escape his mind.
"Well…when we grew up we started to grow apart and soon I started to feel as if you didn't need me anymore so I started to hate you, for real."
"But France I-"
"But after the day we met America for the first time," France continued. "When he ran to you crying instead of me I figured out why you didn't need me anymore. You needed to be a big brother yourself!" He smiled. "America…Australia…Seychelles…Sealand…Hong Kong…I always saw you looking out for the countries in your care, smiling and comforting them when they cried. I learnt…That you would never give up and wanted to be the best older brother you could be so they didn't have to grow up amongst one like yours. But I always see you falling apart when something goes wrong…like the Revolutionary war or even when America got locked out a few minutes ago…you always feel so alone…"
Small tears escaped England's eyes, "France…"
"But it shouldn't be like that, Angleterre and you know it!" Shouted France, he held the younger nation closer to him as his voice softened.
"I just want to say that whatever happens to you, you're not alone. I'll be there for you like I was when you were growing up. So trust me a little more okay? I won't let you suffer alone and keep your feelings bottled up anymore!"
"F-France…" Suddenly all of those feelings of loneliness and being double crossed that appeared every time somebody claimed their independency flowed out all at once.
England began to snivel and eventually cry as he buried he head in France's chest, the French man smiled and stroked the smaller nation's hair before secretly planting a kiss on the Brit's head.
England eventually pulled away from France and dried his eyes.
"Come on, we might as well join the others." He walked in front with France not so far behind.
They both stopped.
"Thanks…Frog…"
"You're welcome…Black sheep of Europe."
They both grinned and walked together side by side.
"You can eat this, I'm sorry it's just some leftovers I found in the fridge but I heated them up for you."
"Ve~ Thanks Germany!"
Italy sat up on the sofa in the living room where he had been having a quick recovery-nap so Germany could sit down. The German frowned as Italy looked down at the warm pasta and pizza but didn't even smell it.
"Italy? Are you sure that you're okay?"
"Hm? Yeah…I'm fine, Germany, honest!"
"Then eat your food before it gets cold!"
"Right!" Italy still hesitated, Germany sighed.
"Italy, if you're worried about what the Sin made you do then don't be. You did nothing wrong and nobody blames you for holding their sister hostage."
This was true. Thankfully it seemed that the rescue party had stopped the Sin of Lust before things got out of hand and all of the nations who had been captured, as well as their family and friends, knew that Italy was not to blame for the incident. Italy even got a couple of the girl's numbers! However, something was still clearly bothering him and Germany was determined to find out what.
"I know that it's not my fault…" Italy looked at Germany, his lip quivering. "But that doesn't cover up the fact I've done a bad thing and broke the promise I made when we were kids."
Germany patted his friend on the head.
"You were under the influence of a powerful Sin. One so strong that even England, a powerful magic user, couldn't fight off just a bit of Lust's effect."
"…So does that mean it doesn't count?"
"Ja, Italy. It doesn't count so you've kept your promise."
"Yay!" The Italian's face lit up, and then dimmed to a confused look.
"Germany?"
"Ja?"
"What is Lust anyway?"
Germany face palmed, remembering how Italy didn't even know what "sexual act" meant.
"Well…it's when you have a girlfriend-or a boyfriend, I guess- but you ummm, "do things" with other people behind their back."
"Ve~ like what?"
"Well….."
"Like cooking? Because I was teaching England how to cook the other day so does that count?"
"No it's not cooking- why were you teaching England to cook?"
"Ve~ England managed to blow his kitchen up and the toaster flew aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall the way to our back yard so he had to fly over to pick it up! So I decided to teach him how to make pasta!"
"Right…But no, it's not cooking."
"Playing board games?"
"Nein."
"Eating pizza?"
"Nein."
"Eating pasta?"
"Nein."
"Kissing?"
"Nein- Ja! Kissing counts."
"Wasn't I kissing all those girls behind your back earlier?"
"…Ja…" Germany waited for Italy to start crying and begging for forgiveness again.
But he didn't.
"So does this mean if I kiss you then everything will be okay again?"
"Ja-wait what?"
Too late! Italy leaned over and quickly kissed Germany on the forehead.
"Oi, Feli! Get over here and help me make supper for everyone! Some ones eaten the leftovers!"
"Ve~ Coming Fratello!"
Italy skipped off to the kitchen whilst Germany touched his forehead and smiled.
"All is forgiven, Italy."
"DUDE LOOK LIKE A LADY~"
"I swear if you don't turn of that song, aru…" China groaned but Prussia and America only sung louder,
Dressed in a kimono which Japan was nice enough to lend, China collapsed on a near by couch.
If his trauma of Italy trying to hit on him wasn't bad enough, it turned out that Hong-Kong and Korea had hidden his normal clothes and to make matters worse, Japan and Taiwan had both taken pictures of cross-dressing China and had un-doubt ably sent them to Hungary.
China shuddered at the thought of Hungary nose-bleeding at the photos, smiling like a Cheshire cat and sending the pictures to every female nation in the Yaoi fan club, which was all of them.
"You look like you want to jump off a cliff, da?"
"Tell me about it, aru." China closed his eyes, Russia looked at him and smiled.
"Well we are near the coast…mind if I join you?"
China's eyes widened, "you can't actually be serious!" Russia shook his head.
"No, I'm not. I was just messing with you~"
China grumbled, "seriously what is with your sense of humour?" Russia giggled then when quiet.
"China?"
"What…aru?"
"If Taiwan or Vietnam hadn't have been here…would you still be talking to me on the sofa or would you be going out and looking for them?"
"…What are you trying to say?"
"Belarus wasn't here but Ukraine was." China froze.
"Does that mean she might be…"
"Estonia said that she wouldn't be effected by Lust's spell if a Sin was actively possessing her. But he said that there is a chance she is being held captive by another Sin's host."
China didn't know what to say.
"Russia…I'm so sorry…"
"Don't be," Russia smiled. "Apparently one of the nations who Lust had hypnotized could be holding a resting Sin."
"So I guess we're both in the same boat, not knowing if our sisters are actually okay, aru."
"Da…" China placed a hand on the Russian's shoulder.
"Don't be so worried, aru. If you were trying hard to find her then you would have had no energy left for when you did! If Taiwan or Vietnam- or Japan, Hong-Kong or Korea for that matter- were in trouble, the last thing they would want to see was their older brother fall apart." He smiled.
"So stay strong, aru!"
Russia smiled.
"Thank you."
Silence.
"China?"
"Hm?"
"You know how Japan said that one of us may turn against the rest?"
"Yeah?"
"What would you do if it was you against Japan?"
"That's a tough question, aru…" China thought for a minute. "I guess I would prefer it if Japan was possessed as I would rather he suffered under a Sin than from what ever torture the Sin would make me do to him." Russia nodded.
"And you, aru?"
"Well I don't think I would be the one to turn and I don't think I'm really that close enough to anyone here to have to fight them but there is someone I'm worried about."
"Who?" China followed the Russian's gaze to the laughing younger nation at the other side of the room."
"America?"
"Da!"
"But don't you hate him?" China asked as he raised an eye brow. Russia shook his head.
"Yes, but only for the same reason I hope he doesn't get hurt."
"Oh? And what's that, aru?"
"Because he is strong yet optimistic." Russia sighed. "I envy him because he had a happy childhood and he is strong but even if push comes to shove or if something bad happens in his country he can still smile and fight back." China nodded.
"I understand, aru. You're worried that the Sins may do something terrible and cause him to break to the point the can't fight back."
"Da, if there's something that that American hates the most it's watching his friends fall."
"Well he and Italy are atmosphere-searching buddies, whatever that means, and he was possessed." China thought about the American nation's friendship circle. "And he and Japan are fairly good friends… and Lithuania-"
"Russia!" The two spun around to see Estonia stood in the door way, panting and covered in blood.
The room went silent.
"Russia, it's Lithuania! He has Belarus as a hostage and he even threatened Poland!"
Russia stood up, "you think it might be-?"
"It's Envy! He's possessed by Envy!" Estonia stumbled as he said this causing Japan to run over to hold him steady. "You have to return home now!"
China watched the taller nation shudder.
"I'll come as well, aru."
"And me," America stepped forward, Russia looked at him.
"America, are you sure that's a good idea-"
"Lithuania is my friend and as a hero I'm not leaving him!" America walked over to the door.
"Japan? Are you coming too?"
"Hai!"
The five nations left as the other just stared, Germany froze.
"Come to think of it, I haven't seen Hungary or Liechtenstein all day!"
Prussia and England looked at him.
"WHAT?" Germany flinched as he remembered how close the Brit was to Switzerland's little sister and how Prussia still had some feelings for Hungary despite her liking Austria.
Maybe I shouldn't have said that out loud…
I'm sexy and I know it~
Germany looked at Prussia.
"Really, Bruder. Really?"
"What? It's a good song."
"Will one of you just check the fucking caller ID?" Romano yelled from the kitchen.
Prussia took out his phone.
"It's Hungary!"
"Well bloody answer it then!"
"Okay, okay, geeze." Prussia answered the phone.
"State your un-awesomeness you un-awesome wrench…She's what?...Kesese~ If she has actually has managed to beat up the prissy astriocrat then that is pretty funny!….Wait, how the hell is that even possible?"
The others didn't even have time to ask what was possible as suddenly…
Baby you light up my world like nobody else~
Ignoring France ,who was wiggling his eyebrows suggestively, England picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"England, it's Switzerland, you need to get over here now!"
"Wait, is this to do with why Hungary is screaming non stop down Prussia's phone?"
"Yeah, pretty much. Just get your ass over here now! You, Prussia and Germany. And make sure you- HEY, BACK OFF! I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO SHOOT YOU-"
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEP
The phone went dead.
Prussia and England slowly put down their phones and looked at each other.
They both looked at Germany who just sighed.
"…Get back in the boat."
So Lithuania is Envy and I think its quite obvious who the other host may be...but which Sin? Heheheh not telling~
Okay so I guess I owe a big thank you to RoxanneTheGreat for PM-ing me the suggestion of Lithuania being envy. I really wanted to have someone close to Russia being possessed so I could do that little moment with China and Russia so I was thinking either Ukraine or Belarus being Wrath or something but if I swap wrath with the person I was originally going to possess with envy things actually make a load more sense so thank you very very much!
So I hope you liked this chapter as I tried to do RomaBel (I prefer SpaBel but RomanoxBelgium is just as cute) FRUK, GerIta and a little RussiaxChina. Sorry USUK fans and Spamono fans but I will try and add those in later on, I have a good idea for USUK near the end of the story which may give me a chance to have Russia giving America a pep talk for you RusAme fans.
Next chapter will hopefully be Germany, Prussia and England finding out about what the mysterious Sin is. But who's fighting who?
