Later that afternoon, in Japan's guest house


"I KNEW IT! YOU HID AN ACE IN YOUR SLEEVE YOU LITTLE CHEATER!"

Taiwan's screech broke the serenity of the deck of the guest home.

She yanked her pan out from under her dress as Korea wailed something along the lines of, 'Please don't murder me or if you do at least make it quick and relatively painless, da-ze!' before taking off into the yard, the cards getting ripped off of the table as Taiwan took off after him.

"You know, Nii-san." Hong Kong began, lowering his phone, which he'd been checking between turns, as the two of them watched from their seats on the floor next to the table.

"I thought that being, like, trapped here with my family would be, like, totally boring, but it's actually been pretty fun."

China smiled, "Glad you think so, aru."

The long haired nation looked back out at all of them, a smile gracing his face as he raised his left hand to pick up a few of the cards that had landed on him, for his right was still confined in a cast.

"We really should get everyone together like this more, aru. You can always drop by if your in town, Li." China said, turning to his youngest brother.

"Maybe I will." The teen said, returning the older nations glance.

That was when China stiffened, as did Hong Kong, when they heard a not-so-distant sound of a car door slamming.

Taiwan and Korea froze in their mad dash around the yard and everyone whipped their heads to look down the path through the foliage.

Without a word they all dropped what they were holding, pan, cards, and phones, clattered to the ground as they took off silently down the path.

They pushed aside the leaves and peered out from their hiding place in a well groomed bush as someone opened the back door to a sleek black car.

They realized that the one opening the door was Italy, his infamous curl bouncing in the hair as he reached into the car.

The brown haired nation gently gripped the passengers arm, and the head of black hair that rose up was as unmistakable, as the hiss of pain he let out as he put one foot out of the car to plant firmly to the gravel road.

The one leaning on Italy was none other than the man they'd been waiting almost two weeks for.

"It's Kiku..." Taiwan stated the obvious as Germany got out of the back behind Japan, one of his strong hands firmly on his friends uninjured shoulder as they guided him towards the house, allowing him to stand alone after a moment, but at his side to catch him should he happen to fall.

The black haired nation's eyes shot instantly to the path, and all of his family members dropped behind the bushes and held their breath.

Finally, Hong Kong peeked back over and beckoned to his siblings, it was safe to peer back out again.

Japan was in pain, it was clear from fifty feet away half buried in a shrub.

There was a patch on one of his cheeks from a cut he'd received, and his face went a shade paler every time he took a step.

Germany and Italy were still relieved to see Japan walking, while with great difficulty, pretty much on his own. They knew that, with the aid of a wall and a crutch, he'd be able to manage at home alone until they came again the next day. China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Korea all huddled behind the shrub, somehow they already had leaves in their hair. They watched as Italy released Japan's arm long enough to open the door to the house before instantly returning to his injured friends side.

The asian nations took their chance to move closer to the house as the Axis powers disappeared into the old fashioned home.

China put up a hand, telling them to wait, than sprinted and rolled to lean against the wall of the back deck.

"Amazing for having a broken arm, right?" Taiwan whispered to her brothers, who both nodded to show their agreement.

China held up one finger, meaning one at a time, and than gestured for them to follow.

Korea was pushed forward by his sister, and he dove, rolling half way across the open area before sliding across the grass on the balls of his feet the rest of the way to the back deck wall. Where he shot his little brother a cocky smile after his crossing.

Hong Kong furrowed his thick eyebrows, eyes narrow, then jumped up and dashed out into the clearing, doing a handspring and landing next to the wall in a crouch.

China and Korea both raised their eyebrows at him, to which he said proudly.

"You all thought I could only do things with my thumbs on keyboards."

Taiwan had a determined look on her face as she took off from the bush, she performed one, two, three back handsprings before doing a complete revolution in mid-air, her hair flipping wildly and her pink dress billowing, she looked like a flowers blossom that had just been tossed into the breeze. She hit the ground with not even a thump, landing next to her brothers, who all stared at her, stunned.

"That just turned into a flip contest, and I just won, agreed?" She asked.

All of them nodded dumbly.

"Great, now let's shut up."

They did just that, holding their breaths and staring up at the edge of the porch, waiting for the sound of the two axis powers taking their leave.

At last, the front door slid open.

"Bye bye, Japan! Hope you feel better soon!" Italy sang.

"Call us if you need anything!" Germany shouted sternly, the two of them got back into the car, and the driver pulled away, disappearing back up the thin bumpy gravel street.

The moment they were out of the picture, all of them walked around the house and up to the front door.

"Locked." China grumbled as he tried the traditional sliding door.

"Oh, move, Grandpa." Hong Kong said with a sort of humorous tone in his voice as pushed China aside.

He reached up his sleeve and produced a metal tool with several thin wires.

The youngest of the family knelt before the door and inserted the wires into the lock, twisting them a couple of times, than removing them, fixing something, and inserting them again.

A moment later Hong Kong smirked, stood, and slid the door open with a soft clunk.

"Piece'a cake. Kiku needs to up his security."

"I'll talk to you about how many homes you've broken into later, aru." China said in a parental manner as he stepped inside. Hong Kong raised his hands defensively.

"I haven't broken into any, well, not that many...well, like, how many is many?"

His question remained unanswered as they moved silently through the house until they reached the living room. When they did China, who was in the lead, peeked in, and the way his body started when he looked, it was obvious that someone was inside.

Japan lay on a futon that had been set out facing his TV, he had a glass of water on the table by his side and several copies of manga.

At the moment it was clear that the small amount of exercise had exhausted him, his face was pale and he was lying with his eyes closed, his head resting on the pillows, his breath short and his forehead slicked with sweat.

China crept silently across the hall, followed by the others, they had intended to sneak into the kitchen, but Japan wasn't that subdued.

"Intruders shall receive no mercy! Who's there!?" He demanded, wincing when his voice cracked from sudden use.

He pushed to sit up and hissed in pain from his stomach wound twisting.

Japan still managed to turn himself to look into the hallway, just in time to see an arm disappear behind the wall of the hallway.
An arm draped in overly long white sleeves that could belong to no one else.

"Y-Yong Soo...? Is that you?" Japan questioned.

Taiwan shot Korea a dirty look as Korea shrugged sheepishly.

Finally, Hong Kong rolled his eyes and shoved Korea out into the room hard enough for him to trip and fall on his face about a foot from Japan's futon.

Korea raised his head to stare into Japan's pure brown eyes.

Japan stared back at him with a look of totally blank confusion on his face.

"Sorry w-we...I mean me and...I mean I dropped in like this. S-So...how are you feeling?" Korea asked in an attempt to make this seem normal.

"Idiot." Taiwan grumbled as China slapped himself in the forehead and Hong Kong rolled his eyes.

"Why are you still here? You should have left with the others when you felt better." Japan said coldly.

"Oh, screw it. Sup, Kiku?"

Hong Kong stepped out into the room.

"Y-Your..." Japan didn't believe it. He thought he'd never see the day when his family would be gathered under his roof.

Taiwan came out.

"Are you ok, Kiku?" She asked worriedly, her hair rippling down as she leaned out from the wall, her head appearing with her locks cascading down beneath her.

Of course these two couldn't act without a brain.

Japan thought.

"Fine." The injured nation hissed shortly.

That was when China stepped out from the hallway and stood framed in the doorway, he and Japan matched eyes, no one spoke, Korea scrambled up to sit on his knees on the floor and gulped, looking between his two older brothers staring each other down.

"C-China-san?" Japan stuttered.

"Japan. Good to see you home safe, aru." China replied rigidly.

Korea's eyes darted from Japan's hardened face, to China's, calm and placid.

They were frozen, for this was the moment a broken, distant family just might repair itself, that something long ago shattered just might slide back into place.


Well, Japan and China are having a glare down! Who knows, will that change? Please favorite, please follow, please review! Thanks!
