Author's Note: I'm so sorry for leaving y'all on a cliffie like that- this time- it has been a while now.

Ehehehe... I'm going to try and get back into this as fast as I can because I love y'all and I really love writing. Life just tends to get in the way of that every now and then, and hopefully I've caught a break.

^J^

Kiku couldn't move. His whole body had just shut down at the sudden intrusion of personal space, not sure how to react.

He was glad he was so stiff. That way the other couldn't get his tongue in his mouth, although, that didn't stop England from trying.

Kiku could feel him getting frustrated.


Arthur turned a dark red. He was making a fool of himself, wasn't he? His grip on the other's chin and hand tightened, trying to get as much out of this as he could, even if the Japanese didn't like him back.

Maybe it would discourage Russia.

He just wanted to protect Japan; the Russian, he knew, was not the safest person to be around. The Englishman tried to deepen the kiss, and the other seemed to snap out of it for a little; Kiku was trying to pull back. Just a little hurt (well, it was more than that, really), he pulled back silently.

"Er-Erm…"

"Ano…"

They had both talked at the same time.

How awkward…

He noticed something moving behind Kiku, and Arthur's eyes widened in fear.

Russia was there.

And boy did he look pissed.


Ivan strolled around the table casually, putting on a childish expression. Kiku was his little friend; England shouldn't be playing with him.

Only he could play with his toys.

"Ufufufufu~ Hello friend Japan, English pig," he greeted, smile a little too wide. He could hear his sister panicking in the background. "It looks like the piggy here stole a kiss!" he placed a hand on the Englishman's head, putting pressure down on it as he was tempted to squish him like the little insect he was. "Do I need to protect my friend so no rape happens? Piggy looks rather hungry," he cooed. He blinked. "Little piggy should go all the way home~…"

Kiku shook his head quickly. "I-I can handle myself, Russia-chan."

The Russian looked at him thoughtfully. "Oh! Comrade broke his promise!" He walked around the table again, this time laying an arm around Japan.

England finally processed this as Japan looked down. "… Kiku? Are you already… with Russia?" he yanked his head out of the taller man's grasp.

"Ufufufufu~" Ivan laughed. "My friend is here- of course he is with me~!" He stared into Kiku's eyes. "And since he's here with me, the promise must be kept." He looked at the table for two. "Hm… Either piggy will have to move, or Kiku will have to sit in my lap. I'm fine with either, or both."

Kiku paled. "Russia-chan, please don't say such things. England-san and I are just having dinner…"

"That didn't look like dinner- you aren't a main course for a pig," he frowned.

Kiku stood quickly. "Please stop calling him that!"

England grabbed Japan and brought him away from the Russian. It took only a few seconds to realize that wasn't a good idea before the world turned black for both of them.


The next thing Arthur knew was that he was being suffocated by two very large breasts. He pulled back, face completely red and trying to figure out what happened. His ears were ringing…

It took him a while, but he finally learned that the woman was talking- er, sobbing.

"U-Ukraine?!"

"I-I'm so sorry! Are you all right?!" Tears were streaming down her face, making him wonder just how long he was knocked out for. "I-I didn't know he'd interrupt your date!"

"Date…?" Oh. He remembered now. He shook his head, trying to calm her down. "I-it's fine- really. Just- er- please stop crying. It's not your fault." Arthur let out a sigh. "Besides, I think Kiku likes him anywa-"

His eyes widened, looking around the room quickly. "Kiku?!"

"Wh-Whaaa! I'm sooo sorry!" she threw her arms around him, once again burying his face in her chest.

And that's how England was distracted for the rest of the night.


Kiku opened his eyes tiredly, head hurting. Was the ground moving…? Was he on a staircase? He quickly tried to slide off of the Russian's shoulder.

He was getting much too used to that. "Rus-sia-chan!" he raised his voice, emphasizing each syllable.

Ivan remained quiet, tightening his hold. He had been trying to take Kiku back to his room as discreetly as he could, even going as far to take the back stairs all the way to the sixth floor. He didn't like it when the other was angry with him, but he wasn't letting the other around England much more, that much he was completely certain of.

Japan let out a long sigh. "Ivan-chan. Please set me down."

The Russian paused. "… Are you going to run?" he asked, and Japan could almost see the pout. "Please don't run."

"I can't promise much after that. You said you wouldn't kidnap me anymore," he argued.

"Then I don't let you go," Ivan replied shortly. "I don't want you running from me." Pale violet met tired brown. "I want you to come over to my house for a while after this."

Kiku gave up. "… Fine." He knew the other was not letting him go either way. "But we have to get my pets. I can't leave them home alone for too long again. Last time I had to feed them and bathe them because I was gone for so long."

Russia nodded, shifting his grip on the other, hand idly touching the other's behind without him realizing. "That's fine. Sunny needs friends too; he gets lonely for a cat." It wasn't as if he ignored the cat. Sunny just would reach out and try to swat his hand away whenever he got too close. Maybe a friend cat would help him socialize?

Japan raised a brow, choosing to ignore the Russian's wandering hands. "You have a cat?" He didn't see him last time…

"Da, he doesn't really like people…" Russia stopped to get his keys out. He also grabbed a copy of the Japanese man's keys.

"Wh-Where did you get those?"

"Your pocket."

Kiku stared in disbelief as the other opened up the door to his room and dropped Japan on the bed. "I think it would be best if you get packed now- if we're picking up Tama and Pochi, we're leaving now."


Annnnddd... Yeah, Russia does not compromise- especially with England.

Seriously.

On the bright side- PanDa!
