Ciao, people! Here I present Chapter 10! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOOR REVIEWING! OVER 20 REVIEWS! I WENT ALL HYPER RUNNING AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD SHOUTING "PEOPLE ACTUALLY LIKE MY SAD EXCUSE OF A FANFICTION! YAAAAAAHHH!" Don't doubt me…I did this twice before, both times when I went to get the mail and received an acceptance letter for orchestras…my neighbors must hate me so bad…TT^TT… In addition, my PREP SCHOOL teacher now likes anime! Since she is a language arts teacher, she analyzes the plot as if some book…O.O…oh well, better than nothing. I'll stop ranting… ONWARDS TO THE CHAPPIE!

Me no own Hetalia…

Chapter 10

Taiwan shakily flipped open her phone.

"Hello? Taiwan speaking…" all nations stared at her, waiting. After several moments of listening, her eyes doubled.

"Wha-What did you say? Please repeat that again…Thank you, Good-bye."

She snapped the phone shut and hurled it at the ground before collapsing onto her knees.

"Bi-big bro-brother china is…is…" Taiwan burst into tears, unable to finish her words.

"Is dead…" Hong Kong finished quietly. The nations present made no noise, the chamber filled with deafening silence interrupted by the sobs of Taiwan.

Japan was the first to speak.

"It was my fault, all mine…if only I could've controlled myself…if only…if only…" tears tricked down his face. "If only I could pay for what I did…" He looked up and from the sleeve of his uniform, pulled out a short dagger. "And so I will." Japan ended as he prepared to plunge the blade into himself, committing the final act of seppuku.

"Japan!" Korea shouted, jumping up from his seat to resist his older brother's suicidal attempt. However, the girl got there faster and ripped the dagger out of his hands flinging it behind her.

"That's ENOUGH!" she shouted. "I have promised," she motioned to Italy, "That once you stupid DUMB ASS nations recognize your humanity, I will bring back those that have gone!"

"How? HOW? It is impossible to bring back another's, let alone 5 people's, lives, at least not if you still want to live!"

The girl glared at England. "Who said I would live?" she curtly snapped back.

England recoiled at the blunt statement and then regained his composure.

"Oh…I'm sorry…" he mumbled. The Shadow-girl sighed.

"So you nations, based on what you've heard, why don't you work together more? Trust each other more? Don't you dare stated the classic excuse of 'But we're nations!' because as I have proved, you personas are also humans!"

Italy also piped up, "Anyways, even if I got into a fight with... America, for example, a fight so big that we can never make amends. If we were to get into a situation in which we each need support of all the others, I would forget all about our fight and do my best to help him." The girl looked up at Italy surprised then took on an expression of comprehension. Ah~ those profound words, spoken before in another world also. Italy continued, "If I can do something about it, I will help, because we're all fellow nations. We fight each other, we help each other, and together we can do what we wouldn't be able to do if we were alone. We're not alone."

A sound of laughter tainted with sadness filled the room. The nations turned towards the laughing girl, her former maniatic giggle replaced by a human one of humor.

"What's so funny Ve~?" Italy asked, cocking his head to one side.

The girl shook her head.

"It's just that, how should I put it, the last those words were spoken, I could do nothing to prevent the inevitable tragic outcome of that world. In order to prevent such a thing happening in this world, I set the madness on you to try to teach you unity so you people wouldn't have to suffer as much for you will have to go through that…'situation' no matter what. Though, at this moment, it must feel as if I'm the cause of all misery. Isn't it ironic?"

All who were present in the meting hall stared at her in confusion. What the hell was she talking about?

She shook her head. "Never mind what I just said. It'll all make sense in, oh, let's say about 2 months. For now, focus on the topic at hand. Do you claim your human titles?"

A/N: Challenge #3: Guess the quote and what 'situation' she is talking about!
