Summary:
Japan once again slips into his dream as he fell asleep. At first it was a peaceful dream when everything starts to darken. The darkness made Japan felt insure again. He starts seeing his past and this time it was something he have never encountered before; a really sad past. When kiku saw that past, he starts feeling sad within him. He felt that he has made a lot of people suffer. He felt that it's best that he should just stay asleep and never wake up….
Meanwhile in reality, it's morning. England tries to wake Japan up, but realized that he couldn't.
Once again this is a POV of Japan when he is asleep...will Japan ever wake up from his dream? What will happen to him? Read on to find out~
I opened my eyes to realize that I am in the darkness am I? Why am I back here again? Where's the man that I met just now…." Feeling rather worried, I thought.
But a soft warm light appeared in front of me, relieving me from my worries. I closed my eyes again as I see some vision of my past. They were peaceful vision of my past.
But a part of my vision curious me….A man was pacing back and forth in front of a Japanese looking house. "That man seems so familiar…where have I seen him before…" I thought. He was holding a bouquet of flowers. "I wonder what is he planning to do with those" It curious me to continue watching it. Suddenly the man spoke. "What happen if he does not accept to be my friend either….Damn this…well….obviously I would not want to be in the same boat as that frog…ugh…but if he-" It seem like the man is muttering something to himself. But before he could finish his words, the door opened up and a Japanese man walked out from there. The man who was holding the bouquet of flowers was shock but in the end they seem to have become friends.
"Uh...hai...I am Japan...or Honda Kiku..."The Japanese Man introduced himself.
"Honda Kiku? Isn't that my name that the man who saved me called me?" I was really surprised when I heard that.
"uhm….you're England…name Arthur Kirkland…I presume?" The Japanese Man spoke again.
"U-uh..yeah…wait how did you know me?...We haven't really met before you know…." The man replied. When he did that, I manage to saw his face.
I was really surprise when I saw that man's face. "Isn't he…the man who saved me from the darkness…So his name is Arthur Kirkland….such a nice name…..Hearing it really warm me up from within. It feels as though I have really met him before….." I thought.
"But I am that Japanese Man…aren't I? So does that mean this is a vision of my past? ..." This made me wants to watch further and know more about myself
"I want to know more! Show me more…."
The vision starts changing again. A vision of Arthur Kirkland was seen. He seems to be feeling down. But why? "heh!..it's not like Japan and I could have an alliance anyway ... That wanker...what was i thinking ... Making myself believe that getting a friend was easy..." Arthur said to himself. His tone can be easily identified that he was angry. "What does he meant by can't have an alliance with Japan?" I thought as I continue watching worriedly. But it seems like I worried too much. The Japanese man was seen running up the hill side calling Arthur's name.
"Ingirisu -san! I knew you ...you were up….here…." The Japanese man said as he pants heavily.
"J-Japan?...w-what are you doing here..I thought you were busy making the Alliance with Russia already? ..." Arthur said as his tone sounded as if he was annoyed.
The Japanese man seems to be shock about his alliance with Russia but he never intended to form an alliance with Russia but instead he request to Arthur if he would like to form an alliance with him. And it seem like Arthur accepted the request. What made me smile and laughed a little was what is said afterwards.
"I-i am doing this for my sake! I am not doing it just because i wanted to be with you okay!" Arthur said as he blushes a little.
Those beautiful memories….I think I am starting to remember who I really am. I must be a really nice and gentle person to them…..Suddenly my head starts to hurt. It hurts….what's going on? Arh….I quickly shut my eyes again and try to calm down but couldn't. The vision that I have saw just now starts vanishing. No wait don't disappear! I want to remember who I really am! Please…..Tears start to roll down my cheek as I couldn't bear the pain.
Soon my whole body starts to hurt. What's going on here….wasn't it peaceful just now….why am I feeling the pain….Another vision soon appeared in front of me.
"Looks like this is it….it's the end of our relationship….Kiku…."
Arthur?! What do you mean by 'it's the end of our relationship….I was holding my katana which was stained with blood, at the same time I saw him holding a gun pointing at me. Why am I holding a katana stained with blood….I felt that I have seen something similar to this as well…
"Goodbye…Japan…" A gunshot was heard. Arthur has fired the gun
Suddenly I felt a pain in my chest as I scream in pain. But I saw a vision of myself smiling at Arthur before he fired the gun at me. Those smile…It seem really sad…It's like behind that smile hide some sadness….
The vision changed again to somewhere in a room. I was with Arthur and is handing him a letter.
"During the time I spent with you, I obtained a lot and changed a lot. When I…made an alliance with you, I didn't trust you completely. I got involved in a lot of feelings. Sometimes it felt like I wasn't going to get engulfed by it. But the time changed that. I Love all the things you fame to me, so much that I thought it was a very beautiful change. It was enough that it was a memory inside of me that I wanted to forget. This breaking of the alliance is one of the changes. If we could, I wouldn't want it to end, but….Arthur-san…You are dear to me. I am glad that I ran after you that night. I don't regret it…I am glad I took your hand…That's what I think. England-san, thank you for everything until now…" After I said that, I left the room.
What did I mean by ending the alliance….why did I do that? Weren't we happy together? I questioned myself a lot. Those must be the reason why I didn't hold back and let him shot me instead; and gave him a smile which filled with a lot of sadness behind it. Ah…I wonder how does he feels now…..I must have hurt a lot of people's feelings…including him….Maybe it's best that I don't remember anything and stay like this forever….. The vision slowly disappeared as my chest start hurting more again. The pain of getting shot…..the pain of hurting someone's feelings…Let me just stay in this darkness and never wake up…..Soon those memories of mine that I just saw slowly fade away once again….Who am I? Why am I here….Why do I feel so sad? Once again I have forgotten who I am ….
(Back at China's room)
Meanwhile in reality, it's already morning. Arthur was about to prepare some breakfast for kiku when he heard China shouting his name. "ARTHUR!" England quickly rushes to kiku's room. "What's wrong,Yao?" He asked worriedly. "Kiku isn't waking up at all and his breathing is getting slower…." China said worriedly. "WHAT?!" He quickly went to check on kiku and tries to wake him up. And it seems like what China said was true. Kiku isn't responding to them and his breathing is getting slower. When he looked up, he saw the memory aura flowing faster than before. "Tsk! What is causing this? At this rate, we won't be able to save kiku at all….." He thought. "Just what is this magic?!" He grits his teeth as he slams his hand on the table nearby really hard. "Arthur…." China looked at him worriedly.
Soon a song was heard. China was singing a song…..
"Life cuts across time
And while becoming calm,
Cuts eternity's records
Into two overlapping spirals and dies
I'll recite
This song
And carve a moment's memory
Into people's hearts
al a re laye
al a re layo
al a re laya
al a reya…
…."
England calmed down after he heard that song. "Wang Yao….that song…."
"It's a song that talks about a two people reminiscing of the past and how they should sing the song of the present; and not looking back to the past…..There is a story behind it but I will not talk about it….." China said as he starts singing again. "There's nothing much I can do but I hope it will at least calms you down and make you remember what magic that was casted on kiku…"
"Life cuts across time
And while becoming calm,
Cuts eternity's records
Into two overlapping spirals and dies
I'll recite
This song
And carve a moment's memory
Into people's hearts
al a re laye
al a re layo
al a re laya
al a reya…
…."
As he continues to listen, he remembered what magic it was. "I remembered now…This magic….It's called 'reverse lane'. This magic…it's similar to 'body time reverse' but instead of causing the party's body and age to reverse or making it's memory reverse to the point that the party cease to exist, this magic, 'Reverse lane', does not cause the party to cease to exist but stop at a certain age….The reason it was named this because everything is reversed... and age, memory and stuff all have a path they could change or delete…..Thank you, Wang Yao….I remember the magic now…I should be able to cure kiku…Hopefully…." England replied as he gave a slight smile at China.
He quickly went to get his book to look for any clues for this magic and the way to undo it. "Kiku…." He mutters and finally he found a solution to it. He then went to kiku's side and mutters some magic spell. The spell was cast however something seems wrong. Kiku isn't getting any better. His breathing is still getting slower and slower as the memory aura still continues to flow out faster.
"It's can't be?! I cast the correct magic spell! It should have undo the spell that was cast on kiku! But why is he still like this?! What went wrong?!" He grit his teeth as he watch helplessly as kiku's condition get worse.
"Why?….Unless….."
Arthur quickly went to check on kiku again. "It can't be! This is impossible! I have heard before but I didn't know it will really happen!" His tone can be easily identified that he was really shock and surprised by what he just found out.
"What's impossible? What happen to kiku?" China asked worriedly when he heard Arthur saying that.
"The magic has been undone…..However….." Arthur paused. "However?" China asked.
"It's like kiku has taken the magic onto himself. He is preventing us from curing him….It's like he wants to be like this rather than being cure and turned back to his normal self again!" Arthur explained.
"What?! But doesn't Kiku want to remember who we are? Why is he doing this to himself?" China said worriedly as he looked at Japan.
"Not only that….If we don't find a way to make him change his mind in returning into his normal self again, his life might really be in danger….."
And this marks the end of the new chapter~
And yes a cliffhanger!
How long has it been since I did these to you guys and girls XD
What will happen to kiku?
What does Arthur meant by Kiku's life will be in danger if they don't change his mind in returning into his normal self again?
Will kiku really stay in the darkness forever and not remember anything?
