Mimi-chan and aliling-chan: Too bad to tell you that the Asians are not coming up in this chapter. I have other plans for them. So even you won't let me off, I still will. XD (Runs away from you)
Soon the meeting had started. Miki felt bored listening to the adults' meeting ad yawned softly. She glanced at Gilbert, who was pretending to listen while reading a porn magazine. Miki tugged on her brother's sleeve.
"Abang Gilbert, can I go out?" She asked.
Seeing Gilbert did not reply, she tugged harder. The albino slightly jumped when he felt someone tugging his sleeve, thinking that he was caught for not paying attention to the meeting. He was relieved when he saw it was Miki who did it.
"Abang Gilbert~" Miki pouted, angry for Gilbert not paying attention to her.
"Huh? Oh, sure, go on." Gilbert said before turning his head back to the magazine. Miki silently opened the door and went out.
She closed the door softly, not wanting to startle the others. She grinned mischievously.
"Adventure time~"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Miki drove her wheelchair along the hallway, admiring the beautiful paintings on the wall. She came across a large portrait of a man, with light tanned skin and a nearly-bald head. She stared at the picture for a while before turning to the other side. There, she saw a photo with many people in it. She drove forward to take a closer look at those people. She was shocked when something caught her eyes.
"…Mak? Pak?"
Among the people, there were two faces familiar to Miki. They were Chinese—it can be seen from their Asian features—dressed up in neat attire. One was a woman, with light chocolate hair and a beautiful smile; the other was a man, his right arm wrapped around the woman's shoulder. It was obvious that they were couples.
Miki's eyes watered when she saw the two faces. She never thought she can see her parents' faces again since that accident, although they were an image. She rubbed her eyes to wipe her tears away. She closed her palms and began praying.
Two men were chit-chatting as they walked along the hallway. They saw Miki, with her palms closed and her eyes shut, as if she was praying to a photo. The two men were confused and surprised at the same time; Confused about Miki's doing and surprised that Miki can get inside the building without anyone accompanies her. They went straight to her.
As Miki was too busy praying, she did not realize that there were people approaching. She felt a huge shadow covered her small figure and quickly turned around out of reflex. She saw two men dressed in black with sunglasses. She felt afraid of the two.
"Hey, little girl, what are you doing?" One of them asked friendly.
"I…I was praying…I saw my parents' faces in the picture…They…They died…"Miki answered timidly.
"I'm so sorry to hear that, but how did you get in here?" The other asked.
"I…I came here with my brothers…"
"Your brothers? Where are they?"
"They…are having a meeting…I got bored so I came out…" Miki answered the men's questions while backing away from them. The men noticed this and they slowly walked forward.
"It's okay, we won't hurt you. Now, tell us where you came from." Man in black 1 said as he reached out his hand.
However, as Miki was too afraid, she quickly spun around and drove her wheelchair away in high speed. She only used 0.2 seconds to do so and she was far, far away from them.
"WHAT?! Hey! Come back here kid!" The men shouted and began to chase.
Miki came to a lift, which was opening at the same time Miki arrived. Without wasting any time, Miki drove in and quickly pressed the "close" button. The men attempted to go after her but the door had closed just in time. Miki sighed in relieved and looked at her palms. They were bruised and bled. Her palms rubbed with the wheel producing a large friction which results in her palms wounded. Miki clutched onto her dress and sighed.
She regretted for coming out.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After some time, the lift stopped moving and the door opened. Miki turned her head around to see if the men in black were there. Nope, no sign of them. Miki slowly drove out from the lift. She was startle by a familiar shouting,
"THERE SHE IS!"
The men found her. Miki drove away again. Her palms hurt even more but she couldn't care more. She needed to get away from them!
"UFF!"
Miki bumped into someone and she and that person fell down. Her wheelchair was crashed to the other side. Miki quickly get up, apologizing as she did so.
"I'm so sorry! I'm really sorry!"
"It's okay, little girl, why are you in a hurry?"
Miki was surprised to find the man was alike the portrait she just saw. She attempted to answer him, but was shocked that the men in black were even nearer and she began to panic. There's no way to run! The two men then arrived at hers and the man she had knocked down's side.
"Sir, are you okay?" Man in black 1 asked.
"I'm fine, but why are you guys chasing a little girl?" The man who was knocked down by Miki asked. He got up and carried Miki in his arms.
"Well sir, we found her wandering at the hallway and were thinking to take her back from where she comes from. But she ran away." Man in black 2 answered.
"I see. Where do you come from, little girl?" The man then asked Miki.
"I…I don't know. I was following my brothers to a meeting. They were the representative of Germany. They said something about 'World meeting.'" Miki answered timidly.
"World meeting, you say? Then I know where you came from. Before I return you to your brothers, let's get your wounds clean up." The man said, taking Miki's palms and examined it, "It's quite serious, we better get you to the doc right away. You two, take her wheelchair with us."
The men in black obeyed the man's orders and they pick up the wheelchair. Miki thought the man was someone powerful, since the two scary men obeyed him. She kept quiet when she was taken to the infirmary, thinking of her brothers' faces if they found out she was gone. She shivered at the thoughts.
Big brothers are going to be mad for sure…She sighed.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After a few minutes, Miki was pushed out from the infirmary on her wheelchair by the man who had helped her. She looked at her bandaged hands and sighed.
"I'm going to be so dead…"
"Hahaha, that means your brothers care for you, right?" The man laughed. Miki silently nodded with a small smile. She thought she heard Alfred's voice and turned her head around. Sure enough, she can see Alfred running towards them with Arthur.
"Mr. President! Have you seen a girl probably aged 7-10 with light chocolate hair and golden-brown eyes?" Alfred asked the man.
The man pointed down, and Alfred followed his finger.
"Miki! There you are!" Alfred shouted in relieve, making Miki flinched and she hid behind the man.
"Idiot! You forgot that Miki hates loud things?" Arthur knocked Alfred on his head, hard.
"You know her, Alfred, do you? Then I'll leave the rest to you." The man pushed Miki's wheelchair to the American. He crouched down until his eye level was the same as Miki's and patted her head, "Do not get lost again, all right?"
Miki nodded. The man smiled and patted her head one last time before leaving. Miki turned to Alfred, "Who is he, Abang Alfred?"
"What?! You don't know him? He's our president!" Alfred shouted again, making Miki hid behind Arthur this time.
"I've told you to stop that you git!" Arthur scolded and hit Alfred's head even harder.
"Ouch! That hurts you know old man!?"
"Come now, poppet, let's ignore that idiot American. Your brothers are worried." Arthur said as he proceeded to push Miki's wheelchair back to the meeting room. Alfred followed them behind, muttering curses under his breath.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Outside the meeting room, Miki can see a lot of people gathering there. Among them, there were her brothers, arguing and shouting at each other while the others tried to calm the two siblings down.
"I've zold you I'm sorry, West!" Gilbert shouted.
"Sorry doesn't mean zhat Miki will not be harmed! I've already zold you to keep an eye at her, not your magazines!" Ludwig shouted back angrily.
Afraid of a sibling fight would occur; Miki broke off from Arthur's grip and dashed towards her brothers.
"Abang! Stop it please!" She shouted.
"Wait, poppet, it's dangerous!" Arthur shouted too, afraid that Miki will get hurt if she gets too close to the angry German brothers.
Fortunately, both Ludwig and Gilbert stopped at once when they heard Miki's shouts.
"Miki?!" They both said in unison, and crashed onto the ground as Miki bumped into them.
"AHH!"
"URGH!"
Everyone went silent for a while. They watched as both Gilbert and Ludwig shoved off the heavy wheelchair from their bodies. The German brothers had an arm wrapped around Miki's petite body, protecting her from any harm. The child's whole body was shaking.
"Miki, are you alright?" Ludwig asked.
Hearing her brother's voice, the child looked up. Tears were rolling down.
"Please…please don't fight…It…It was my fault, if I don't go out…" Miki cried.
"Shhh…It's alright, it's not your fault, it's bruder's." Ludwig said softly.
"VHAT?!" Gilbert shouted in surprise and in protest. Ludwig sent him a glare, and Gilbert had no choice but to admit his fault.
"Ja, it's my fault. I should've pay attention to vhat you say." Gilbert said as he brushed Miki's silky hair. Miki looked at them in surprise.
"You…You guys are not angry?"
"Of course we are! Do you know how vorried we are?!" Ludwig scolded. Miki freaked out when she saw the demon face on Ludwig and quickly hid behind Gilbert.
"Maaf…Maaf…Maafkan saya, abang…" She cried.
"West, zhat's enough, I zhink she had already much shock zhen she has now." Gilbert spoke for Miki and hugged his sister protectively. Ludwig sighed.
"Ja, I know…Warten, Miki, vhat happened to your hands?" Ludwig asked suspiciously as he took Miki's hand.
"I…uh, hurt myself while trying to run away from the scary workers here…" Miki said nervously.
"VHAT?! Let me see zhat! Is it hurt much?" Gilbert shouted as he snatched Miki's hand from Ludwig's and examined it.
"Not anymore, there was a nice man helped me. Abang Alfred said he was this country's president."
Ludwig turned to Alfred, making the latter slightly jumped.
"Danke, Alfred, for bandaging Miki's wounds." Ludwig thanked him.
"Uh…Actually, it was not me, it was my superior, but I guess I can help you to tell him that…" The American said.
"Well, since Miki had found, let's continue our meeting." Roderich said as he pushed his glasses.
Miki was carried in Gilbert's arms as they went inside. The albino then gave her to Ludwig, who gestured him to do so. The German put her on her wheelchair and turned her to a corner.
"Um…Abang Ludwig, what is this?" Miki asked, glancing at her back.
"Don't zhink you can run away from a punishment." Ludwig said, "Stay zhere until we're finished."
"But Abang~"
"STAY."
Miki pouted and began to sulk at the corner. She noticed a white bear and squealed softly in excitement. She hugged the bear tightly.
"Aw~It's so soft~" She said.
"Actually, he's mine."
Miki freaked out when she noticed there was someone else there. A man with glasses and wavy orange hair sat at the corner beside her. He also loos alike Alfred. Miki, still hugging the bear, asked the man cautiously,
"Who are you?"
"I'm Matthew, Matthew Williams; the representative of Canada." The man said.
"And the bear?"
"I…I don't remember…" Matthew said sheepishly.
The bear turned to Miki, "Who are you?" He asked.
Miki squealed, "A talking bear! Like Mr. Puffin! I'm Miki, and you?"
"Kumajiro." The bear answered.
"Why aren't you joining the others?" Miki asked the Canadian.
"Eh…Everyone…doesn't notice me…" Matthew said in embarrassment and buried his face between his legs.
"Eh~that's too bad. Would you like to play with me? My brother punished me to stay here until they are finished, and I'm bored. Can you and Kumajiro accompany me?" Miki smiled cutely.
Matthew looked up in surprise, "You…You want me to play with you?"
Miki nodded happily. Matthew was delighted. He agreed happily.
~Extended ending~
"And zhat's all for zoday." Ludwig concluded.
Gilbert yawned in relieved as he grinned, "Aah~ finally, we can go home now right Miki…" He turned to the corner where his sister was; the wheelchair was there, but not the girl. The albino freaked out.
"EHH?! MIKI?! Where did she go now?!"
Gilbert's shout attracted everyone's attention and they went to the corner.
"Strange, little sunflower couldn't go by herself since her legs were wounded…" Ivan said.
"Ve~did someone take her?" Feliciano asked worriedly. Upon hearing this, Vash loaded his riffle, "That guy is so dead." He said coldly.
"Wait." Elizabeta said softly, holding up a finger to her mouth, "Do you guys hear something?"
Everyone became quiet and listened carefully. They heard a soft snore. The sound came from under the table. Ludwig crouched down to see. There, he found Miki, sleeping soundly with Kumajiro in her arms, beside her, was another man.
"Who's that? He's so dead." Lovino glared.
"Eek! So cute!" Elizabeta squealed and began snapping pictures, "I'm going to use this as my phone's home screen wallpaper."
Matthew heard the commotion and woke up. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a bunch of scary looking faces.
"EEEK! What…What happened!?" The Canadian freaked out.
"We're the one who was going to ask that, bastardo! Who the hell are you and why are you sleeping beside sorellina?!" Lovino shouted angrily.
"We…We were just playing…"
"Ohonhonhon~what kind of 'play' is that?" Francis smirked like a pervert.
"It's not what you think! I never did anything to Miki!" Matthew cried. Unfortunately, no one believed him.
Ignoring the others, Gilbert went to pick Miki up and cradled her in his arms. He smiled softly.
"She must be very tired." He said. Ludwig nodded in agreement. Arthur went to them.
"You guys go first; I'll take care of here." He said.
"Danke, England." Ludwig said. Since Miki had fallen asleep, it's fine to use back their country names.
Arthur nodded and sent them to the main door. He watched as the German brothers got into the black luxury car and drove off. His phone suddenly rang. Arthur took it out and looked at the number, his face then darkened. He pressed the "reject" button and went back inside the building.
