Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia or its characters in the manga or anime. I just own the story and my OC's: OC Reinae Crossfire, OC's Alice & Jessie (Reinae's mom and aunt), OC's Cain & Claire (Reinae's 'siblings') and any other OC'S that I might add.-nothing else. Hetalia belongs to Hideakaz Himaruya-Sensei (The Creator). I'm just a big fan of the anime and manga, and decided to write this fanfic, as a way to show my support for this crazy, random, wonderful series.

Author/Miss Inu:So here we are with chapter 24….But before we begin with the chapter, I do have a little side note to say as a reminder-

*~In a couple of the chapters in the storyline and story so far, some of them have been writing in POV like styles of writing format. I think that this might continue for the rest of time, since it seems to be an easier writing pattern for me to do *if you don't like that kind of styled writing or fanfic stories, then I suggest that you read something else or find a different fanfic to enjoy, because that's just how I planning to write it out.* -And if you feel like complaining or bitching about how I write this, please don't-I've heard them all and I really don't care and also, not in the mood to deal with those kinds of comments/ reviews. I've been getting those kinds from both DA and for a little while and I'm getting quite tired of them. So, if I lose support for this story because I'm not gonna put up with rude and hurtful people, than that's just their loss. *I just can't deal with rudeness and hurtful people like that-I can get pretty depressed and annoyed with negative people.*~

Prussia: *awkward look* um, okay, I zhink frau author is in vone of her moods again…*hides in corner*

Author/Miss Inu:(*Pause and continues*) Okay, normal talking time-And just to let the audience-readers know, chapters 22 and 23 were almost completed at the exact same so the story can be updated faster *and to help with my list of other stories that needed to be done, making the list go down…*

Also, no words from Prussia since he, um…*points at Prussia who is in the 'depressed emo corner'* well, he and I did have a little talk and discussion… and he's been like this for a while…

Prussia: I hate mein life-life is so confusing-I am so confused…*groans-confused/depressed face* mein head, vhy is everyzhing so verdammit confusing…

Author/Miss Inu: Well, I think he might need a little bit of help for now and while I try to think of a way to help, let's get started with chapter 24, okay? (*and sorry for the little 'small-rant'-I've just been in a little bad mood time and it's been affecting my emotions and attitude, making me so grumpy like. but I will try and find a way to 'de-stress it, so it won't last a lot longer'*)

The Secret Behind Those Eyes:Ch.24

Chapter 24: Something Goes Wrong

So once again, Let's recap and refresh on all that has happened so far. . . . .

I had been kept in a random room by Cain, until I was found by Prussia. *then he for some reason left me and while I had been knocked out, someone had put me in some kind of sexy dress-damn pervert, he's gonna get a fist in the face when I find whoever did that*

. . . .I was able to escape the room and try to find an exit down a hallway, but only to get almost get caught in a red lazor trap, but thanks to my skills in gymnastics during my younger years, I could get through it very easily. After that little escape gig, I got founded by Prussia again and we both tried to make our escape from the hallway area. . . .

-As we are both running for our lives to get back to the other nations...let's just hope we can keep on running for a while and not get caught~

––––

The both of us kept running down the hallways until we stopped for a minute, catch our breath. I looked around to see where we are and I guessed that we somehow ended up at a different like area, since the colors of the hallway walls were different and the ceiling looked to be lower. Millions of thoughts ran through my mind, as I couldn't understand or try to figure out how or why this happen…

"Liebe? You okay? Is somezhing vrong?" Gilbert asked me as I looked at him, as I shook my head at him.

"No, nothing is wrong. Just trying to see if we not trying go in circles or if we somehow didn't get lost." I said, as kept looking and thinking some more. As I kept thinking, I heard Gilbert call out to me again.

"Hey, frau…" He said, as he got a serious tone in his voice, making me look at him again, wondering what he wanted.

"Yeah, Gilbert, what is it? Do you need something?" I asked, as I looked at his crimson red colored eyes. I could tell, by looking at those eyes, that he had a look of guiltiness and pain in them. I tried not to be sad about that look, since I couldn't blame him for all that has happened. After a few seconds passed by, I saw Gilbert's hand reach out to me, lightly touching my face, near my eye as I knew that he was trying not to put too much touch over the bruise, fearing that it might hurt if any type of pressure was put on it.

"I am so sorry…you got hurt, because of me. Because I didn't keep you safe und didn't protect you gut enough. Zhat bitch hurt you und maybe ozhers zhat vere vith her…und it is all mein fault." Gilbert said, as his voice started to get a sorrowful tone in it, as his guilt started to show even more. "You got zhis…zhis hurtful mark, because of mein carelessness…und I can never forgive meinself. Can you ever…ever, forgive me, mein liebe?"

I could almost feel my heart breaking at his words, making me almost want to cry or let a few tears fall. But I held back my sad-crying urges, as I gave him a sort of small soft smile, as I did something that I didn't think I would do…

I gave Gilbert a hug.

Gilbert gave off what seemed to be a surprised-caught off guard like squeak, as he got hugged by me. I snicked in my mind, wishing I had a camera to take a picture at the look on his face.

"It's okay, Gilbert. I know you tried, as best you could. But…you did come and tried to rescue me, and I very grateful that you did." I said to him, as he smiled back at me and returned my hug, by hugging me back.

"Danke, liebe. Zhat means a lot to me." Gilbert said, as he gave me his usual grinning expression. "Now, enough of zhis 'happy moment' stuff. Ve need to start to get moving again, to try to get out of here…so, ve better get our arsches moving und fast, frau."

I nodded my head at him, as he started going down the hallway again, putting some distance between us and trying again to look for the exit…

Not far from where Reinae and Gilbert where, someone had been spying on them, watching them with a smirk on his face. Darkish brownish black eyes watched them very carefully, knowing full well that the way they were going, would lead them out and back their friends…

He put a hand in his pocket and pulled out a small vile, that had once been filled with a liquid, that had bits of a little sick-illness. The vile had been a little trinket that Alice had given him and told him to use, if things got out of hand.

Now, that he thought about it, he was glad that he had used it…

When he had given it to Reinae, while she had been unconscious in that room…

"Hmmm…wonder how their both gonna deal with her 'little sickness' that she's gonna be having soon…" Cain thought to himself, as he contained his laughter that he wanted to let out inside his mind, wishing that he could see the look on their faces, when the sickness-effects start to kick in…

Suddenly, I felt a small itching tickling like feeling in the back of my throat, as I felt myself starting to cough a tiny bit. This cough felt a little different than most coughs I would have when I was sick or wasn't feeling good, this felt almost painful like, like something was stuck in the deep parts of my chest.

"Hey, Frau, you alright?" Gilbert asked me, guessing that he must have noticed my cough and wondering if I was alright.

"Yeah, I'm alright, Gilbert. Just a little cough…" I said, as another cough cut my sentence off, as I put my hand over my mouth, trying to cover it so it wouldn't be so hard. But the cough just got a little rougher and harder, as it was starting to make my head spin a bit. I felt the area around me starting to go in circles and spinning like, as I tried to keep myself from falling over. I felt my legs starting to get a little heavy but I used all of my willpower to hold back my weak feeling legs from collapsing over.

I could hear Gilbert in the background saying something to me, but my head was spinning too much for me to understand what he saying to me.

"I'm…fine…I'm fine…" I kept saying to him, as I waved my hand in front of him, trying to keep him away and say that I was alright. I felt his hand on my arm, pulling me close to him. That took me off by surprise a little bit, as I felt his arms wrap themselves around me, holding me tightly and closely to him. "Gil…what are…you, doing? I said I was fine…"

"Nein, you not, liebe. Your face looks very pale und you're kinda shaking, a bit…"Gilbert said, as he put a hand over my forehead, as I looked at him and looked at his crimson red eyes, wondering what he was doing. After a few minutes, he took his hand off my forehead, with a soft sad looking look in his eyes. "Your head feels kinda hot, frau…I zhink, you might be sick…"

I shook my head at him, thinking that I couldn't be sick. How could I be sick? I didn't get drenched in water or was put in a cold frozen room for a few hours. *at least I didn't think so, I really couldn't remember or tell, since I guessed that my mind couldn't figure that out at the moment…* But that didn't matter, as the more I tried to start an argument for not being sick, my body wasn't agreeing with my mind, since it was starting to feel very hot and exhausted at the moment…

"Ja, you are sick, mein liebe. You need help und fast!" Gilbert said, as I was suddenly being held in his arms and he was starting to carry me, in my tired and sick like state. "Don't vorry, I'm gonna get you some help, frau." And with that last comment said, Gilbert started running quickly, trying to go find help for me as fast as he could. I didn't say anything for a few minutes, as I leaned my head on his shoulder, as I was starting to get a little bit tired for some reason. Gilbert noticed my tired like look expression on my face, as he nudged my shoulder a little bit, guessing that he didn't want me to go falling asleep at the moment…

"Nein, Liebe. I don't zhink you should fall asleep, for zhe time being." Gilbert said as he talked to me in a soft speaking tone, as I looked at him with tired expression still on my face. "Just until ve get out of here, please stay avake, okay?"

"Okay, I'll try…just so, tired…" I said in a soft tired voice, my words sounding kinda slurred almost, since the tired-sleepy feeling, started to get bigger/stronger like. Gilbert took more notice of my tired expressions, as he got a sorrowful sad look on his face, like he hated to see me in this poor sick state, that I had got into…

"I know, frau, I know, I know your tired und vant to sleep, but you can't right now, until vere out of here und your safe…Und I promise once vere out of here, I'll find a place you can sleep…A hospital or medical place or somezhing…und…" Gilbert said, as he stopped in the middle of his sentence, as he heard a set of footsteps, coming from behind him.

He slowly turned his head to see the guy from earlier with mid long medium length jet black hair that was pulled back into a pony tail style hairstyle, deep dark brownish black eyes and now, with a smirky look on his face…

A look, that made Gilbert want to rip it off his face and beat to a pulp.

"You…you…I know you…" Gilbert said as remembered seeing him before, coming out of the room that Reinae had been. He had a look of anger that was starting to appear on his face, as he kept his eyes on the guy, that had appeared behind him.

"Gilbert…what's wrong?" He heard Reinae asked him, as he looked at her, trying to pull back some of his anger looking face, not wanting her to see him in any anger emotions, that he might be having at seeing this guy again. "What is…" He saw her move her head from his shoulder, as she noticed the person standing right behind Gilbert, as her eyes started to get a little wide, at seeing who it was.

"You…you're the bastard…that I met earlier…and the guy…who hurt Italy…"Reinae said as she tried to get away from Gilbert, but she coughed again, feeling extremely exhausted and weak from whatever the sickness was doing to her. Gilbert noticed her cough, as he gently placed her on the ground, letting her sit on the ground to allow herself to calm down from the cough, as he then started to look at this person, keeping a serious eye lock on him.

"Bastard, huh? Is that anyway to treat your older brother, dear sister?" The man said as he smirked at her, as Gilbert suddenly stared at him with the biggest confused look on his face, at hearing what this person said.

"Vas…VHAT?! Your…your…you're her older bruder?!" Gilbert said as he couldn't believe one word of it.

"Yes I am. I am Reinae's older brother…" He bowed to them, in a mocking like way. "You can call me Cain, by the way, since I don't think we been properly introduced…" Cain said, as he gave Gilbert another evil smirk. "Oh, yes, I know that you were watching me, coming from out of the room. You hid yourself well, but I could still sense that you were there, hiding behind in that hallway…very clever to hide, wasn't it?"

"Fucking bastard…" Gilbert said, almost giving him a growling tone of anger at him, but keeping his anger under control as best he could, knowing that he might lose it, if he let this guy get under his skin. "Vhat are you planning? Vhat did you to frau?"

"What? What makes you think that I did anything…" Cain said, as he gave them a fake innocent look, in a teasing way. After a few minutes, he makes his face go into a grinning like look. "Oh, right…you mean, how she got those marks and bruises on her, when you first found her in that room. Well, guess what, moron?...I gave her those, as a little surprise for you…"

"You…you…DID VHAT?!" Gilbert yelled outloud, as he snapped, letting his anger get out of control, from what he had just heard. Being silent for a few minutes, before pulling out the gun that he had grabbed earlier and aimed it at Cain. "I should kill you for vhat you did to her, you schvine!"

Silence passed by the both of them, as no one said anything for a few minutes.

"Tell me…tell me, vhat you did to her!" Gilbert demanded, his voice turning low and dangerous, keeping a firm aim of the gun at Cain, ready to shoot him, if he had too.

"Make me, moron…" Cain said, still smirking away, enjoying the look of anger on Gilbert's face. "Let's see, if you have the balls to pull that trigger on me…"

"A bastard till the end, huh? Vell, guess zhat's your last vords you chose…" Gilbert said, as he pushed on the trigger very slowly, about to fire…

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

––––

Well, how come I am getting that feeling of the 'damsel in distress' feeling. . . . especially since there is two guys in a fight and me in the middle. But what is the fight even for and why, I might ask?. . . .Why do I even ask these questions when I know something is gonna happen and I would probably find out very much later. . . .

So much for trying to fit into a world like this as an otaku fangirl…

- - - Also, by the way-you must be asking why I am writing this little side not journal entry? Well, since I might be stuck in this world for a while, I might keep some kind of journal blog to help keep track of what happens to me and all that I might do…
