Chapter 9:
So, Italy began his adventure. He came to visit me a few times in the hospital and tell me of everything thing he talked to Germany about, even though Germany didn't seem interested. Italy is happy for once and that puts relief on me. However, not telling Italy the truth about what had happened to me was starting to become difficult. I couldn't tell him though. He had too much to deal with at the moment. So, I will explain my story in this journal of mine. Hopefully Italy doesn't accidently discover it and read it.
England, that's who did this to me. I didn't actually fall down a hill. After hearing what happened to Germany, I went and declared war on England. But, I guess England found out about sooner than I thought. So, instead of me invading his land, he invaded mine. He caught me off guard and attacked me with some strange powers of his. It would explain why he was able to see and hear stuff when he came to my house that one time. Anyways, when I was attacked by him, I immediately attacked him back. England seemed surprised that I didn't collapse to the ground straight away. Instead, he retreated and attacked me again. I remember hitting my head before blacking out and waking back up in the hospital. That's what I have been trying to hide from Italy, but… it's getting harder to do so the more I see him and his smiling face. What… should I do?

"Germany, how are you feeling today?" Italy asked as he stepped into Germany's hospital room with a happy expression on his face. Germany looked toward Italy, still confused on who he was.
"Ja… Thank you Japan," Germany replied. Italy smiled as he walked over to Germany.
"No, no! I'm Italy!"
"R-Right… Italy…" Italy kept from frowning in front of Germany. It had already been a week since Germany was in the hospital and it seemed like he wasn't going to be released from it very soon. The doctor didn't want Germany to leave until his scattered memories were back to normal, and no one knew when that was going to happen.
"I brought you some books to read!" Italy said as he reached into the bag he had and placed some books onto the nightstand next to the bed.
"…."
"Is… something wrong?"
"No… nothing…" Germany replied as he looked back towards the window. Italy noticed that Germany did that a lot lately. He wondered why. Without saying another word, Italy left the room so Germany could be alone. Italy left the hospital and walked into the park. He sat on a bench and sighed.
Germany's still getting me confused with Japan, Italy thought with a slight hiccup. He was trying not to cry at the thought of Germany still confusing him. He wanted to stay happy and have a positive out look, but it was hard. The world was acting against the two.
"Italy?" a voice asked with concern. Italy looked up from the ground and saw Prussia standing there, a small yellow bird sitting on top of his head. Italy was holding back the tears in his eyes as he looked at Prussia. "Is something wrong?"
"No, everything's fine!" Italy replied with a happy smile, even though it was only half-hearted. Prussia stared at Italy with a stern look. He didn't believe what Italy was saying at all.
"Tell me the truth little Ita," Prussia said as he folded his arms. "What's wrong?" Italy sighed as he looked down at the ground. He knew that trying to hide something from Prussia was useless.
"You… haven't heard about… Germany?" Italy asked with a saddened tone.
"Huh, West?"
"Yeah… he's been in the hospital."
"What!" Prussia exclaimed. "Seriously!" Italy nodded in agreement. Prussia sighed. He never thought that his little brother would actually end up in the hospital for a long time. He looked back over at Italy and gave a smile. "Don't worry about West!" He slung his arm around Italy's shoulder. "He'll be fine! And, when he finds out that you have your memories back, it'll be even better!" Prussia gave his usual grin and Italy smiled. He felt comforted.
"Grazie Prussia!" Italy smiled as he stood up and walked off. He went to go visit his home since Romano had left so suddenly before. As he walked, he stopped at a church and prayed. He wanted Germany to get better as soon as possible and he would do anything to make the process go faster.

Time slowly passed on this world. I wonder when that feather of hope will show itself and touch the hearts of all. I would love to see the day when everything would go as planned. Even if nothing is perfect, it wouldn't matter. I thought I had seen that feather – the one with all the hope – as I looked outside the window at the world outside. Yes. I could feel it. It would be coming soon.
- Entry in Japan's Journal
Yeah... this is shorter than I meant it to be, but... oh well... This whole story is shorter than I wanted it to be, but my ideas are starting to run low on this. DX Chapter 10 will be the last chapter and, hopefully, longer. Gah... First time writing a story like this and I have already failed at it! DX
