Chapter 11

"Where is that girl?" Monika muttered as she looked at her watch, her patience thinning with every tick.

"They're probably eating or still sleeping. I should have dragged Italy out of bed." Germany put his hand on his face in regret though Monika looked at him in wonder. She tried to remember the last time Feliciana was late for training before the war started and couldn't come up with anything.

"Itary probabry just ferr back asreep rike normarry." Japan pointed out but Sakura was quick to overreact.

"Impossibre! Fericiana is never rate! She must be in troubre." Sakura began to panic but Monika quickly calmed her down.

"They're probably just adjusting to each other. I would find it abnormal for even them to take the situation lightly. We can just start without them." Everyone agreed with her though Sakura was still slightly worried.

"Eh… Mr. Germany, how do you normally start your training?" Monika asked curiously. She was somewhat excited to train again for the first time after being let out of the hospital.

Germany thought to himself for a moment then began telling her their normal routine. "Well first we do around 50 push-ups and then run a hundred laps…though Italy normally runs away before finishing."

"Interesting," Sakura said to herself.

"Hmm?" Japan looked over to her. "What's interesting?"

Sakura looked over at him and just sighed. "Nothing of importance, sharr we begin?"

Japan looked over at Monika and examined her wounds for a short moment, worried that she may not be in the best condition to exercise.

"Um, excuse me Ms. Monika. Do you rearry think it's a good idea to train whire stirr so patched up?"

She turned to him with a stern face and answered. "Nein, if I don't start as soon as possible I won't ever be able to get back on track." She got into a push-up position and looked up at them. "Shall we begin?"

The two men looked at her in surprise as she and Sakura where able to knock out all fifty push-ups in less than ten minutes, breaking the record by a minute and a half. After they had all finished, Sakura and Japan began to run around the track while Germany and Monika yelled at them to keep going.

"Come on Sakura! Are you going to let him beat you?" Monika shouted loud enough for everyone to hear.

Sakura looked over to her then pushed ahead of Japan who was taken by surprise. He ran faster, trying to get ahead of Sakura who seemed to be two steps in front of him the entire time. He was wondering where she was getting all this extra energy after ninety nine laps.

"Come on Sakura! One more lap then you're done!" Monika yelled at Sakura who was now a great length in front of Japan who was baffled at her speed.

When Sakura finally finished they all waited and watched as Japan huff along, his honor slightly crushed from defeat. When he finally finished Sakura congratulated him and Germany and Monika had a conversation about what to do next.

"What's next?" Monika was filled with enthusiasm though it didn't show through her stern face.

Germany was taken aback by how the two were able to get so far into the training even with their wounds. "Hmmm. Well I guess next we would do some sets of pull-ups then…" he was interrupted by Monika.

"I'm sorry but would it alright to just skip that and go straight to hand to hand combat?"

Sakura looked over to her with excitement. She was becoming antsy because she really wanted to work on her technique since she hadn't had time to improve since their last battle.

"Oh that wourd be wonderfur! Can we prease Mr. Germany?" She jumped up and down as she thought of fighting again.

"I-I guess it would be alright. What do you say Japan?" Germany looked over at his Japan who wasn't prepared to have to answer the question.

"I-I-I…um…er….I guess it wourd be okay." His words stumbled out of his mouth.

Monika looked back over at Germany. "Would it be alright if I were to be your sparring partner?"

Questioning her motives, Germany reluctantly agreed and they began.

Facing each other, Japan and Sakura got into a fighting position though Japan wasn't comfortable fighting a woman. He didn't get much time to think of this though because Sakura was able to get him off his feet and onto the ground within seconds.

"You are obviousery reructant to fight me. Prease think nothing of that and give it your best."

She helped Japan back onto their feet and they began the match for real. Sakura kicked her foot toward his head except he was able to dodge it swiftly as he grabbed her leg. She quickly spun it out of his hand and knocked him back a few feet, but he shook himself out of his shock and tried to trip her. She jumped up and flipped back behind him and grabbed his hands, keeping Japan at a stand-still. She pushed him onto the floor which ended the fight.

"Very good Sakura, just remember to keep balance next time you attack from behind." Monika turned to a stunned Germany who had never seen someone take down Japan so quickly in hand to hand combat.

"Mr. Germany?" Monika snapped him out of his trance and he realized the situation. He got into a fighting stance and studied his opponent, trying to think of a way to take her down quickly and without embarrassment. Though he had thought for too long and Monika got the first hit in his stomach.

"Stay alert Mr. Germany, I won't go easy on you." Monika was in full out fighting mode.

Germany and Monika ran toward each other and began dodging and sending out hits toward one another. The two moved so fast that Sakura and Japan found it hard to keep up with the two's movements. Monika flipped back, trying to gain some space in between the two of them while also trying to get a hit on Germany's face. Though she was able to make some space she wasn't able to make contact with Germany. Germany lunged forward, trying to grab Monika's arm but ended up grabbing her long green coat causing it to fall off revealing a black work out bra and a long scar on the side of her stomach. The two looked at each other, Germany and Japan more flustered than Monika was. Monika took advantage of the moment and kicked Germany onto the floor then kept him there by holding his hand behind his back like Sakura had done.

"I see the match is decided." Monika stood back up and extended a hand to the still flustered German.

"Uh…Miss Monika, prease cover up." Japan covered his eyes in embarrassment, trying not to look at Monika's scar or her boobs.

"My apologies Mr. Japan," she quickly grabbed the coat and put it back on herself then extended her hand once more to the still reddened German.

Germany finally broke out of his shock and took her hand, being pulled up by her incredible strength. "Where did you learn to fight like that?" He was incredibly impressed.

"I learned a number of my moves from the other countries that you have met, though mostly I learned from Maria."

"Maria?" Germany looked in question.

"Hmm. I guess she is the equivalent of your Prussia."

Right then a head popped out of the bushes, catching everyone off guard.

"Did someone call the awesome me?" Prussia shouted out. He stepped out of the bushes and walked toward Monika.

"Who's the hotty West?" Prussia looked at her a little closer to her face causing slight discomfort in Monika.

"Erm…" Germany looked away. "Her name is Monika. She's my female double." Prussia looked over at him with a "huh?" face, then he started laughing.

"Kesesesessese! And here I thought you lost your sense of humor! No seriously though." Prussia violently patted his brother on the shoulder but got no answer back.

Prussia stopped in horror and turned back to Monika. "No way, you can't be serious!?" He examined Monika even closer causing her face to redden slightly.

"You met me last night after you came home from the bar, remember?" Monika pushed Prussia away from her.

Prussia thought to himself then answered back. "Now that you say that, I do remember a glimpse of a woman being in the house. Guess I thought it was just a dream since West has never been able to bring back a woman!"

As this all went down, the two Japanese doubles sat down on a bench and watched the entire thing unfold. Nobody took any notice to them.

"Prussia, will you please leave her alone? I'm sure she doesn't want you so close to her." Germany tried to calmly talk though his brother was somehow infuriating him, but Prussia took no notice to him.

After a few more moments Prussia bear hugged Monika in surprise and lifted her up. "Kesesesesesesese! I guess that means I'm your big brother now huh!?" Monika was trying to push herself out of Prussia's grasp but it was no use.

"P-please let me go now!" She demanded but Prussia kept his grip.

"Not until you promise to call me big brother from now on." Prussia was becoming a nuisance but for some reason Germany didn't say anything. He only clenched his fist and closed his eyes in annoyance.

"W-why should I?! I already have one obnoxious sister, why do I need a brother?" Prussia continued to swing her in the air while she was still in his grasp.

"Prussia! Put her down now!" Germany spoke up but Prussia took no notice to his demands.

"Promise it and I'll let you down!" Monika was beginning to become agitated so she tried to loosen her arms out of his grip to punch the man in the face but with no prevail. She decided that the best thing to do at the moment was to just agree with him.

"F-fine! Now just put me down!" Prussia put her down and stared at her.

"Now say it."

"Hmph. Big Brot~~."

"I can't hear you."

"big brother -_-."

"Louder!" Prussia was really starting to piss the Germans off but the Japanese just watched in enjoyment.

"BIG F###ING BROTHER!" Monika shouted at his face in frustration.

Prussia looked in surprise then laughed. "Kesesesesesesese. Who knew having a little sister would be so fun." He jumped back into the bushes.

"See you guys later." Prussia then disappeared.

Germany and Monika glared at the bush then Germany turned to Monika.

"I'm sorry about him." Germany apologized.

Monika looked at him with her face still a little reddened then smiled slightly. "It's I didn't think he would adapt to such a situation so quickly."

The two's faces turned to the Japanese who were calmly sitting and watching, then the Italians came out with pasta sauce covering their clothes.

"Sorry were late." Feliciana looked down at her feet hoping for pity but Italy was a preppy as ever.

"Ve~~~~ we made pasta." Italy was unfazed about the fact that he had missed training.

The two Germans stared at the Italians and let out a frustrated sigh simultaneously.

"One hundred laps around the block." Monika ordered to the two. Feliciana quickly perked up and began, leaving Italy to trot behind her.

Monika thought to herself as she stared at Italy who was struggling to keep up with the speeding Feliciana.

"I hope I know what I'm doing."

-Sorry for the late chapter. I went out of state for a vacation and when I got back the family was going through some tension. It's okay now though :). I'm excited to hear your guy's feedback.
