INTRODUCING - JAPAN!
Part 2
"Good lord!!! What the hell happened??!!" The familiar question popped out of the man when he saw her dishabille state, followed by the same familiar dry statement. "No. Don't tell me. You've been in a fight again."
The girl grinned. "The usual. I met some new friends too."
"Friends? I doubt it, more like enemies from the looks of things. Kenshin and Ryu will go through the roof - again - when they see you. Not to mention me, Kouji and Kotaro." The man frowned suddenly as he noticed a small cut on her forehead, just partly hidden by her silver-white lock. "A cut?!! You got hurt??!! Oh no! You're in deep trouble young lady."
"Don't worry oniichan, I'll take care of Kenshin-sempai and Ryu-sempai. I always do." She laughed at her older brother's mixed look of exasperation and concern.
"They're too soft where you're concerned." He muttered. "Go and get yourself clean up."
"Hai!"

After receiving the typical scolding from her brothers and charming her way out of their bad graces, the girl went out of the room, leaving behind five grown men all yawning in tiredness.
[I know you guys worry about me. It's because all of you love me.]
She piled one blanket on top of another in her arms, knowing already that her brothers would be asleep by the time she returned. She made her way back and quietly placed a blanket over each sleeping body.
A small smile of affection formed as she looked from one brother to the other, remembering their look of defeat earlier when faced with a smiling sister with her eyes large and full with innocence.
[I love you guys too.]

"Kimi ga suki dato sakebitai." Japan hummed to herself while cycling to Shohoku High, her new school. She saw a familiar tall redhead and the other four boys in front of her and called out "Ohayogozaimasu!"
Sakuragi and the gundam stopped in their tracks at the greeting. Without a word all turned to face her and one by one all their faces scrunched up. "Huahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!" Suddenly laughter burst out of them.
Japan continued cycling and parked her bicycle in the parking space provided. After making sure her bike was properly locked, she made her way towards the still laughing males. She stood in front of them, grinning and letting them laugh it out while occasionally looking at her watch. After a while she took a last look at her watch and a slow smile spread over her face. She balled her fists and blew slowly on both of them.
"Gomenasai!" and with that she punched all five on their stomachs before they could react. All activities in the compound immediately stopped - as everyone trained their eyes on the unbelievable scene of a small girl punching five boys obviously bigger than her.
"Ufffhhhh!" All five doubled over in pain.
"Does it hurt?" She bent, inspecting each of them. "Gomen, I don't mind being laugh at but I do have my limits." She turned to the sweatdropping spectators and bowed at them. "Sorry, show's over!"
"You don't have to hit very hard you know." Takamiya gasped out.
"Heh heh, I guess I don't know my own strength."
"I swear, if you're not a girl -" Sakuragi winced.
"Well, you guys shouldn't have laughed at me for that long - I gave you five minutes to stop."
"You should have mentioned that in the first place." Yohei stated dryly. He stood up gingerly and suddenly his eyes widen. "Haruko-chan! Aisu-san! Ayako-"
"Oh no!" Sakuragi groaned. "Tell me that Ryocchin is not here too."
"Too bad cause I am." A muffin-shaped hair guy appeared.
"Me too." Another guy appeared. This one had a scar and was quite tall.
"Micchy!"
"Hahahahahahahahaha! Beaten up by a GIRL! You must be losing your touch!" Mitsui and Ryota slapped Sakuragi's back. Meanwhile the newly arrived girls looked at her in amazement and curiosity - well, two of them at least. The third one was looking disinterested by the whole affair, although Japan could detect the slight flicker of her eyes at Sakuragi.
"Hi! I'm Akagi Haruko! You can call me Haruko - it was simply unbelievable what you did! I didn't know a girl can punch like that!" The sweet-faced girl introduced herself, her face still mirroring her amazement.
"I'm sorry for whatever it was that made Sakuragi offend you, although if I do say so myself you did quite a good job of handling them." The pretty one with curly hair smiled at her. Japan smiled back and extended her hand. The girl took it. "By the way I'm Ayako. That's Hisashi Mitsui and that's Miyagi Ryota. I assume you already know Sakuragi and his Gundams."
"And you are.?" Japan looked at the third girl. The girl was taller than average height and had a rather cold, stoic expression. She didn't answer.
"Ah and this is Mitsuhito Kazuha."
"I thought Mito-san called her Aisu (ice)." {To know more of the Aisu, please read A New Beginning, my first fic ^^}
"That's what Sakuragi nicknamed her. And you are?"
"Hiroshe Japan."
"Oh."
"That's what made us laugh!" Sakuragi pointed out. He was trashing Mitsui and Miyagi when the introductions were made, but at the mention of Japan's name he stopped at the moment when his fist was about to collide with Mitsui's face. The other two also stopped, Mitsui with his hands bunching Sakuragi's shirt tightly and Miyagi with his left arm hooked around Sakuragi's neck. The Gundams were all the while just watching the fight and making bets at who would win.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!" Miyagi and Mitsui let out a full-scale laughter. The fight forgotten. Noma and Yuji sweared, Takamiya laughed and Yohei sighed. Takamiya won the bet.
Prak! Prak! A paper pan hit with lightning precision on both heads.
"Aya-chan." Miyagi rubbed the lump on his head, tears forming in his eyes.
"There is nothing funny about it."
"Actually," Japan spoke out, all the while smiling. "There is. I've been in this situation for more times than I can count and I don't mind as long as it's within the limit of five minutes."
"You timed them?!" Ayako asked, incredulous.
"Of course! The waiting made it all the more fun. Don't you think?" Her eyes gleamed mischievously behind her half-lowered ever-present sunglasses.
"Ah well, sorry err.. Hiroshe-san." Not knowing what to call her, Yohei settled for her surname. "It's just that it's a weird name for a girl."
"For anyone in fact." Takamiya added. Prak! Ayako's paper fan landed on his head.
"Don't be rude!"
"You remind me of someone you know." Mitsui voiced out. He stared hard at her but still couldn't quite make out whom it was she resembled.
"Don't call me Japan, please. I've had enough of teasing over that."
"What shall we call you then? It's strange to forever call you Hiroshe - it's all right if you're a guy but you're a girl."
She grinned. "Just call me Pan."
To be continue..
Rei : Does it suck? I wrote this in the middle of the night and my hands were doing all the typing while my eyes were barely open. So, sorry for any errors made.
