Yao could be seen as a fatherly figure to the younger nations but some were more special than others.
The day Vash brought Erika to the meeting, the two, although very different in culture, clicked instantly. Whenever Vash was gone, Yao stepped up to care for the young girl. After all, she was so small and timid, far too fragile for the wrath of the other countries.
So, whenever she would come to a meeting, Erika would be placed in between her brother and Yao. Not that she really cared, really. She loved both her 'brother' and Yao equally, they were really the only people she knew - besides Germany respectfully.
During one of the meetings, however, Yao watched as Erika sank in her chair while Vash was gone. Turning his head over to look, he saw Ivan standing over her - probably just mindless talking, but the small country was obviously intimidated by him! Sighing, he stood up to protect the child much like a mother bear. "Ivan, could you not stand over her like that?"
Confused, the taller Russian stopped talking and turned his attention to the Chinese brunette. "I'm just talking to her." He chimed innocently, placing his one large hand on the top of her blonde head, causing Erika to begin shaking.
"You're frighting her, Ivan." He said, swatting the Russian's hand away from her and wrapped one of his arms around her shoulders to properly comfort her. Glaring, Ivan went back to the other arguing countries while Erika tried to gain her composure back.
"D-danke, Yao.." She muttered, still in a fright but Yao's comfort was greatly appreciated.
"You're welcome." He smiled, giving the young girl a gentle kiss at the top of her head - not like it would have mattered anyway since nobody was really paying attention to what anyone who wasn't arguing was doing.
While Yao treated Erika nothing more than just a younger sister, the young Germanic found security in his protection just as much as her older brother.
