Japan's P.O.V.
I wake up, being snuggled by Russia. His grip is tight on me.
"R-Russia…" I manage to whisper at him, wiggling from his grasp. He mumbles something, but I can't hear what he said.
"Russia," I softly call to him. His eyes flutter open and he blinks. He lets go of me, not blushing at all.
"Mm, what time is it?" He asks me. I look at the clock on the wall to my left. My eyes go wide.
"Its… 6:30 pm. WE'VE SLEPT FOR 16 HOURS!" I exclaim. Russia gets up and closes his eyes.
"Spain and England aren't back. Iceland, America, and Italy are gone. Come, on. We have to go find them." He calls to me over his shoulder calmly. I nod and follow him to the meeting room. I grab my social studies book, my taser pen, and string my 4 kunai knives around my waist. Russia gets his Crossbow and lodges it on his back. He sheaths his hidden blade in his right sleeve and hides his 5-7 pistol thing inside a holster for it.
"You ready to go?" He asks me. I nod, and press the 'up' button, an elevator door opening. We both step in and wait five minutes in silence as it goes all the way up back to the bank. The door opens, and he immediately jerks me down. I fall, but he catches me. A hat almost hits us and boomerangs back.
"T-Thanks…" I breath. He nods and we both hide behind the counter, hearing a conversation with Iceland and America. This new dude who's name is Australia happens to have an Amber and says that Italy is in trouble, being cornered by some guy from the Carbo Nation. Thats never a good sign. They bolt out of the bank and we emerge from our hiding place.
"We have to go save Italy!" I exclaim. But Russia shakes his head.
"I trust this Australia guy. Besides, Iceland and America are there. We don't know where Spain and England are, and as far as we know, they can be in a life or death situation right now! We have to go find them." Russia counters. I open my mouth to rebel, but I fully agree with him. I shut my mouth and nod. We also dash out of the bank, seeing faintly, Australia, Iceland, and America until they disappear. There is a line of trees that separate the bank from everything, and when I mean a line of trees, I mean a line of VERY MANY trees. Its like a miniature forest in there! Russia takes my hand and leads me to the left, where we usually go to go to Wal-Mart.
"I thought you said we weren't following them!" I say to him.
"We aren't. Spain and England are close by. They just departed off an elevator. Once we get them, we go inside Wal-Mart and have a meeting. The usual place. You got that?" He explains to me quickly. I insert what he says in my brain, but doesn't understand why he's so quick to say this.
"You sound nervous, are you okay, Russia?" I ask him in concern. He nods and picks me up, carrying me bridal style. I blush as he darts towards the back of a gas station. He stops there and carefully puts me down. Something dings, and a door opens, revealing Spain and England, both looking at us in confusion.
"How'd you know we were here?" They both cautiously ask us. I shrug and motion to Russia. He gives them a blank expression and says, "Italy's in trouble. She still is. I don't know why, but Iceland, America, and Australia would've probably saved her ass right now. We gotta go." He picks me up again and calls over his shoulder to them.
"You guys coming or what?!" I feel a rush of wind come in contact with my face as Russia bolts towards the Wal-Mart, barely seeing a green and light green aura emanating from him. He jumps towards the roof of the Wal-Mart and lands perfectly and unharmed, setting me down.
"Thanks." I smile at him. He walks silently to the other edge of the building. England and Spain also make it on the roof somehow. I shrug and follow Russia, ducking when I come near the edge. I hear Italy struggling and Iceland talking.
"Let her go." He commands, his voice steely. A girl laughs at his command.
"You think… I'm going to take orders from an Assassin?! Thats ridiculous." I glance at Russia, his green and light green aura still emanating from him. He jumps down and joins Iceland.
"Y-You!" A man's voice shrieks in surprise. I hear five shots go off in a shotgun, each shot I flinch. Please… tell me they missed. I think to myself. In seconds, I hear two loud cracks and two gunshots.
"You guys can come out now!" Iceland calls out. England and Spain both jump down.
"Come down, Japan. I'll catch you." I hear Russia's voice. I jump down, trusting him. He does indeed catch me and America and Australia are here. We're having a group meeting at the back of Wal-Mart.
"New dude, introduce yourself. Make it quick." Russia growls, his aura still emanating from him. I take a look at everyone. Iceland also seems to have a light blue color aura surrounding him. England and Spain look well rested, but tired at the same time. America has Italy's hand in his. Italy looks unharmed, and the new recruit Australia also has an aura coming from him. His is a darker blue than Iceland's.
"Can-Can someone please tell me what's going on here?" I ask the group. They all turn and look at me.
"Explain what?" Iceland asks.
"Three out of Eight of us are radiating aura! Can someone tell me why!?" Everyone exchanges glances. I don't know what this is all about, but they seem kind of secretive about it.
"We'll talk back at base." Russia resolves the problem. "for the time being, Everyone go around Wal-Mart. I have a bad feeling that GOTCHA BITCH is plotting something here if Dr… Cola is here doing "groceries." Everyone nods. I nod, even though I have no idea why.
"So, do we like split up?" Australia chimes in the question.
"Four Groups. Me and Japan, England and Italy, America and Australia, Spain and Iceland. There. Happy?"
"NO!" England, Italy, and America refuse. I sigh.
"Pick your partners then. I'm fine with who I get to be." I blurt aloud. Good thing no one heard me.
"I heard you." Russia smirks at me. I blush, looking at the new groups. England and Spain, America and Italy, and Iceland and Australia. Weird, but I don't care.
"Everyone has their gear?" We all nod. "Then let the stake-out commence."
