Japan POV

Morning came again just like yesterday, with breakfast at the dining hall and meeting Indonesia and Thailand. We all went to the hospital after breakfast and once again, Thailand, Indonesia, and I asked to visit Piri and Vietnam. Instead of a 'no' from yesterday, they agreed to for us to visit them one at a time. They were becoming more stable in health, so it was alright to visit them today, even if only one of us could go inside their rooms. Thailand said he was going to visit Vietnam first and left. Indonesia offered to go visit Malaysia first before Piri for my sake, but as usual I said it was alright for her to see Piri first. After all, Indonesia is much more concerned and it would probably be for the better if she sees her other little sister, especially from that night when Indonesia almost lost her sanity when she found out about the incident.

Indonesia smiled and said thank you to me as she turned and walked to Piri's room. I thought I would visit Malaysia again so she wouldn't be so lonely. When I faced her door, I knocked out of politeness and waited for an answer from the other side. "Come in," answered Malaysia. I went inside and saw her sitting straight up with her hair combed and an open book on her lap. She smiled. "Good morning Japan how are you?"

I grabbed a seat and set it beside her bed. "I'm doing well. Indonesia and Thailand came as well. I heard from the nurses that the other two are recovering quite well and allowed us to visit, but only one at a time. Thailand is visiting Vietnam and Indonesia is visiting Piri." Malaysia nodded and understood. She seemed relieved to hear that they have gotten better overnight.

"That's good," she said. "I was really worried you know, thanks for telling me their conditions and also thank you for visiting me, too. I was really bored since they wouldn't let me out of the hospital until tomorrow. I just got out a book and started reading to make time fly by," she held out the book.

"I see… how is the book?" I asked just to keep up the conversation.

"Hm? Oh it's fine. I actually find it quite interesting even though I'm really not that interested in mystery. The book is about one organization trying to stop another organization from disrupting mankind's sociability that would cause chaos and take over," after that, there was a moment of silence. "So… how are you?"

"Um I'm doing well," I answered awkwardly. "How are you doing?"

"Fine as well," there was more silence. Then Malaysia ended it. "How did Indonesia react when she found out that Vietnam, Piri, and I were in the hospital?"

I was about to answer right away but then I paused. Should I tell her what happened? She will be very worried and I think it would trouble her, but then again… they are sisters. It's only natural to feel that feeling. After all, that's how Switzerland always feels about Liechtenstein. Malaysia waited patiently for an answer. I took a deep breath. "Actually, Indonesia, Hungary, and I were heading towards you guys for that surprise those two mentioned. But even before we could go an inch or even a centimeter from the building, we saw an ambulance passed by. Indonesia froze and started running after it in a frantic. When we arrived and caught up with the ambulance, we saw well… I think you would know."

She sighed and nodded. "How was she at that time? She lost it didn't she?"

I nodded sadly. "She was very depressed about it and denied it, too. She started being a little violent verbally and was furious that she started yelling. Everyone knew she didn't intend that, but well she just couldn't calm down until China got stern."

"I see," she sighed. "I should have known. That elder sister of mine is always worried about Piri and I and her close friends. I don't find it bad that she is worried, but sometimes it can get out of hand. I should have thanked China for everything.

I nodded. "Yes it is, Hungary and I also understand this feeling but I guess we can handle it in a calm manner. If you want to thank China, he isn't here right now due to some work at his country."

"Indeed," she said. "I'll visit China sometime to thank him… What about the other nations?"

"The other nations were shocked to hear the news. Some of them kept their distance from others who are close to you guys, like me," she looked at me guiltily. I smiled. "Don't worry, I didn't mind."

"I see… I thought that would have caused you much trouble just over one incident," she said relieved. "I wonder if Piri and Vietnam will wake up… hopefully they wake up tomorrow. If they wake up today than, awesome."

"Hopefully," I said. I faced the floor in deep thought

"Hey Japan," she called my name. I turned to her.

"Yes?" I answered.

"You like Piri don't you," she said. I was startled. Instead of blushing, I just thought, 'am I really that obvious?' I nodded. "You want some advice?"

"Advice?" I asked. "Do I need it?"

"Well it really depends actually," she said as she raised her finger. "Well? Do you?" I didn't really want to be rude and say no, so I nodded.

"Advice number one," she held up her pointer finger. "If Akak Indonesia and or Hungary come up to you and say 'Hey Japan I have a great plan to get you together with Piri!' don't agree and decline the offer. If not, then just say what you usually say, 'Hm I'll think about it.' Advice number two," she held up her pointer and middle. "Always take care of her and make her smile with glowing passion." She held up her finger, middle, and ring finger. "Last, but not least, be yourself. Remember Japan, no matter what happens; always show your real self. Don't hide your true feelings or troubles away. When they build up, you start to go insane. Besides, everyone accepts you and I think you know that by now. Just remember, okay?"

I nodded. I could understand all three of them. I should get with Piri on my own strength, make her smile, and show my real feelings. They are so simple, well maybe not the first one, but the other two even though they are simple deeds, they will make a huge impact.

"Good," she said approved. "You are ready." After that, a knock was heard from the other side. "Come in." Indonesia opened the door.

"Hello my sweet little sister, how are you?" Indonesia asked cheerfully.

"Well someone's happy," Malaysia murmured.

"Of course I am," she said hearing her comment. "I'm so happy everyone is alright, you don't know how worried I was at first. Now all we need to do is let them rest some more and let them wake up."

"I see…" I said. "I'm thankful as well."

"Japan, you can see Piri now if you want," her thumb pointing to the door. "I know you wanted to see her," she teased.

"A-ah yes. I trust that you will be with Malaysia, correct?" Indonesia nodded.

"And I'll keep an eye on her, too. You never know what will happen with this bundle of joy," Malaysia sounded sarcastic as she said that in an emotionless expression. But everyone knew she isn't always sarcastic when it comes to Indonesia, Piri, and her friends.

"Now Malaysia, I know you didn't mean it in that way, but could you not make it sound as if I'm that annoying?" Indonesia asked nicely.

"Alright," she sighed. "Japan, you don't have to be polite you know. Just go whenever you need to."

I nodded. "Thank you," I bowed and left her room. I went to Piri's room which was a couple rooms from Malaysia's. I knocked first just in case anyone is in there. In return there was silence. I opened the door to see Piri lying on her bed with bandages still on her arms, legs and head. Malaysia had bandages, too, but they were mostly on her arms. There was also a monitor that made steady sounds of beep, beep, beep. I grabbed a nearby chair and pushed carried settled it next to her bed. I sat down gazing at her sleeping face. I smiled to myself looking at that face. She seemed to breathe easily and had no problems. All the nurses just said, 'All they need to do is wake up.' It was a fact that nations healed much faster than regular human beings, but when it comes to sleeping, that is another point. Nations as well can be in comas, it could take them weeks, months, or rarely even years to finally wake up. Just like humans.

I wanted her to wake up soon, I miss her already. Even if I don't look like it, I really miss her. I stroked her dark brown, wavy hair. It was smooth. "How are you Piri?" I chuckled. "Obviously resting of course, I decided to come, too, well I don't know if Indonesia told you yet but Thailand is here, too. I wonder how it is for you to rest like this; probably not what I have experienced but I bet something similar." I placed my hand over her hand, "I want you to wake up soon, okay? I will wait for, everyone will. Malaysia is waiting, too and when Vietnam wakes up she will, too." I sighed. "I miss you."

I laid my head on an edge of her bed still holding her hand. Not even noticing it, I started to slowly drift off to sleep as the sun slowly settled down for the moon to shine in the sky. All I remembered before drifting into a deep sleep is feeling a light kiss on my forehead.

Also there is a little secret within~ It is a _e _a _... _e_e_ _e_ _a_a_s_a's s s_ _ is _ead_ _ _?
