A few minutes of talking with Kiku then we saw the door open. Kiku got up, not letting go of my hand. But we just saw England getting in followed by France. England opened the door to wide and to hard that it slammed at Hong Kongs face waking him and Taiwan up, but he didn't seem to notice. They walk right up to me as Kiku walked towards Hong Kong, who is now rubbing his face.

"Hikari are you alright?" England said too loudly it woke Switzerland and Liechtenstein. France stood where Kiku has been standing and hold my hand. And i hear him speak,

"England! Of course she isn't okay! Look at what she is wearing! it doesn't show off any of her lovely curves." He smirked.

"Hey! This is a hospital not a club!" Switzerland said. While he and England pulled at his collar to drag im away from me.

"Actually I'm quite fine. Just a bit hungry." I laughed. Kiku, Hong Kong and Taiwan walked up to me. Taiwan, with a smile on her face pointed at Alfred. I looked at him and i still found him asleep.

"How can he sleep with all this noise?" I asked. We all laughed that's the only time when he woke up.

"Why is it so noisy?" he asked sleepily, England pinched his ear and pulled him up.

"More like. Why are you still asleep!" He dragged Alfred out. But as he was being dragged out he yelled

"Hikari! I'll be back!"

"Good luck with that!" I yelled back. I laughed even more and found everyone staring at me.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing." Taiwan said, then Hong Kong followed

"We all just think that it's nice to see you smiling." for the first time i see him smile too

"Nice to see you smile too." The doctor ruined the perfect moment by coming in.

"Alright Ms. Hikari. Let's see how your leg is doing. Could everyone leave the room first please." It was a differnet doctor from last night, this time it was a girl. Everyone left the room, and she unwrapped the bandages. She changed the bandages then went to the bag of blood hanging above my head.

"Well your leg is okay but we can't let you go home until this is at least half empty. You really lost a lot of blood!" She pointed at the bag. "You should be out of here in a few hours. Should I let them back in?" She asked

"Yes please." I smiled at her, she smiled back. She walked out of my room and everyone came back in, everyone except France, America and England.

"Where did France, England and America go?" Hong Kong and Switzerland went closer to me and said almost simultaneously

"We threw them out of the hospital, they were all just too noisy." Kiku stepped in between them and asked

"What did the doctor say?" I looked at him and smiled

"She said that my leg is okay and i could leave in a few hours." He relaxed a little and sat on the chair where he was sitting before.

-a few hours later-

"Alright Ms. Hikari you may open your eyes. The needle is out." The sarcastic nurse said

"Thank you, until when do i have to wear these bandages?" I asked as i was lightly rubbing the area where the needle had been.

"Well the doctor says that within 3-4 days, then you may remove them. But in a week fromm now she wants you to come back and have a checkup." she said

"Oh is that so?" Kiku stepped in the room carrying my set of clothes in a paper bag.

"Umm. . . Yes Honda-san. The doctor must see if the healing process is going well. Now, if I may be excused" The nurse stepped out of the room.

"Nii-chan, where are the others? Did they go home?" I was standing now. And Kiku handed me the paper bag with my clothes.

"Put these on first, we'll see them soon" He smiled, I took the paper bag and got in the washroom to change my clothes. i came out of the washroom feeling more comfortable in my own clothes that the hospital robe. I sighed and i looked at Kiku who was sitting on the chair beside the door. He stood up and opened the door and said

"Ready to go home?"

"Hai~!" We went home and everything was peaceful. A week passed and we came back to the hospital for the checkup. After 2 months Kiku and I shared chores again, winter passed, then spring, then summer, then it was fall. I had found a cheap artschool and took a few classes for just a year. I worked at a nearby store as a clerk. And the whole year wasn't as interesting as that World meeting, until it was spring of the next year. Kiku came out of the living room rather sadly.

"Nee~ Nii-chan are you alright?" I asked

"Hai. Hikari, Umm. . ." He looked away, from this past year of living with him I knew most of his expressions, and I knew that something was troubling him.

"What is it nii-chan? Is something wrong?"

"No, nothing is wrong" He suddenly had this smile on his face, I've got to admit I was really relived that nothing was wrong.

"Then what is it nii-chan?" I perked up, seeing his welcoming smile and make anyone happy.

"Well I am going to attend another meeting. And this time it will be held at Germany's home. I was wondering if you would like to accompany me." This was very unusual, he never took me to one of his meetings after what happened at my first World Meeting.

"Of course, but.. Why?"

"I just really want you to accompany me." He was headed to his room with me following closely behind him.

"Well, when is it nii-chan?" He turned to face me.

"It's next week. Excuse me, please have dinner without me Hikari, I'm tired and I just want to rest. Sorry."

"It's alright nii-chan, you go ahead and sleep. Oyasumi~" i smile and turn to head to the dining room

"Oyasumi~ Hikari." And the last thing a hear is the door of his room shutting.

-A week later *sigh*-

The past week Kiku has been acting strangly. He doesn't look at me when we talk, he hardly speaks to me, he smiles at me from time to time, but.. He was acting as if he has only met me. The day we had to go to Germany's house was the day I actually saw him smile again. We left home early in the morning, and all the way to Germany's house we hardly spoke to eachother! The only time I would hear him speak was when he asked me if I were okay, and he would ask me that question every 10 minutes. I couldn't ask him what was wrong, This whole week I tried asking him and the only response was 'No, nothing is wrong Hikari, so don't worry.' sure he would say that with a smile on his face but how could I not worry! But.. Every time I would look at him, he would have this smile on his face. But if you look at his eyes instead of his smile, you would see that he was full of.. Guilt! As if he had done something wrong.

"We're here Hikari.. Wake up." I didn't realize I fell asleep. I looked at Kiku and he was happy, I just didn't know if he was really happy or if he was just faking it. When we got out and we looked at the pathway towards Germany's home and it was absolutely beautiful. I smiled for the first time this week as i saw the big meadow right beside his house, flowers everywhere.

"Spring does magical things here." I looked at him then I realized that this time, he was seriously happy. My smile gets bigger as i feel the breeze hit my face. It smelled of fresh grass and multiple smells i could not name. All i know is that the smell was heavenly. Then I felt two arms loop around my neck, I opened my eyes and found Kiku hugging me burying himslef in my hair.

"Is something wrong Nii-chan?"

"No.. Just. . . Can I just stay like this for a moment?" I looked at him and I hugged him slightly.

"Do as you wish." We stayed like that for a few minutes

-Kiku POV-

I hugged her as if I wouldn't be able to hug her for a while. Because I had a feeling that I wouldn't. I took a deep breath and as I did I also took in the smell of her hair. I let go of her, and looked straight at her golden eyes. And we were silent, we were just staring at eachother until she broke the silence

"Nii-san are you crying?" I wiped my eyes

"No, something got in my eyes." I smiled, and I saw her lovely smile too.

"We should go they should be starting the meeting any minute now." I turned towards Germany-san's home. She was perked up by how beautiful everything was she bagan skipping on the grass beside the path. I just stared at her, smiling on the outside, but feeling guilty on the inside. But i wasn't guilty for anything I have done. I was feeling guilty for what i was about to do.

-Hikari POV-

We were headed to Germany's house now. I was too happy for some reason that instead of walking on the path I was skipping on the grass! We were all alone, at least that was what we thought until we saw two gloomy figures walking towards us, but we didn't take notice.

"Nee~ nii-chan look stepping stones!" I looked at Kiku.

"Just be careful Hikari." I gave him this look that said 'Of course I will, silly'. I was stepping on the stones and for fun i was thinking to myself what i was doing as i was stepping on the stones. 'One, Two, Three and backward step to face Kiku, Fou-' I tripped and i braced myself for the fall but...

"how?..." I looked up and found a boy with blonde hair and wearing some kind of sailor suit smirking while holding out his hand. I took his hand and pulled myself up.

"Thank you." I said to the blonde boy, he nodded his head and he spoke

"Are you alright?" His voice caught my attention immedietly.

"Umm. yes but how could I fall without getting hurt?" I looked at Kiku and he was pointing to the ground. I turned around and looked at the area where I fell. And there I saw another blonde man with spiky hair laying on the ground then i realized..

"I fell on you didn't I?" he answered me with a moan, i grabbed his arms and sat him up and i leaned to face him.

"I am so sorry! I mean, are you alright?" The man snapped out of his daze and laughed, which confused me.

"Yes I'm alright! I always fall on my face! Isn't that right Norge~?" he looked at the emotionless man who was listening to Kiku.

"But you have a big bruise on your head! Umm... Nii-chan-" The emotionless man came up to use unwrapping a bandaid and he slapped it on the other mans head, the force made him tumble back. All I could do was cover my mouth in shock and look at the emotionless man who was now beside me.

"He'll be alright." he said, still as emotionless as ever! I stood up straight and walked to Kiku.

"Umm. Hikari this is Norway, and that is Denmark." he pointed at the emotionless man and the man trying to stand up. I took a step forward and bowed politely

"Hello, I'm Hikari. Nice to meet you" The Norwegian nodded his head and while the Danish yelled

"YO!" he smiles an ear to ear grin.

"Come on we're going to be late!" Denmark said. He grabbed my hand started pulling me towards the house, I looked back at Kiku and Norway and I hear Norway say

"Are you sure you're willing to go through with this?"

"Hai." Kiku said still smiling at me. I had a feeling that smile was fake...
