If i did...OMG, if I owned hetalia...

"W-who are you?"

A man stood before me, with silver hair and red eyes. He reminded me of...Ludwig? I wasn't quite sure why. Maybe it was his hairstyle or something.

"Me? I'm the amazingly awesome Gilbert! What? Never heard of me? Well you should've from my dear little brother."

"Who's your -"

BAM! His right fist collided with my jaw.

"Ah! What was that -"

WHAM! He kicked me in the stomach, and I hit the fridge door.

"You -"

I started to attack with a haymaker. He easily blocked it and returned with a front two-knuckle punch to my nose. I keeled over on the ground, feeling like I was gonna hurl.

"What? Had enough?" he challenged.

My eyes started to water, but I blinked back my tears. That I would never let him see. I'd never give him that satisfaction.

I stumbled to my feet, and was swept to the left by a side instep kick. I cried out in pain. I'd had enough of this. I threw a back kick at him, but he grabbed my leg and pulled me to the ground with ease. Then he took my arm and put it in an arm bar.

"You will tell no one about this," he hissed. "Especially Ludwig."

"What reason do I have to listen to you-"

He twisted my arm harder. I screamed. He applied more force.

"I WON'T!" I wailed. "I won't..." I whispered.

The scene faded away and everything faded to black.

I heard a voice softly, as if it was coming from far away, but I couldn't make out what it was saying. More voices joined it, then a siren. I felt that I was being lifted up, and put onto some sort of hard mattress, then being strapped in. Then, all of a sudden, I heard a louder voice.

"Can you hear me?"

It was Ludwig.

My eyes flickered open. His worried face looked back at me. I was disappointed that he was wearing a shirt now, but I smiled at him. I noticed that he was holding my hand, and I squeezed it gently.

"Where...am I?" I whispered. I looked around without turning my head. I saw Nanase and Suzuran standing in the vehicle as well. This was an...ambulance?

"The others are taking the trailer," Nanase explained.

"Ok." I whispered.

"You shouldn't talk now," Ludwig said soothingly.

I nodded, then let the blackness take over again.

I woke up what could have been minutes or hours later, it was impossible to tell, and I opened my eyes. Around me stood Ludwig, Kiku, Heracles, Takashi, Fuyuki, Nanase, and Suzuran. "Back up," the doctor instructed, and everyone obeyed. He took out a cotton ball, dipped it in some liquid, and dabbed my arm with it. It stung, and I winced, but attempted to stay still.

As more pain came over me I let the blackness come again.

My eyes fluttered open and I looked around at my surroundings for the first time. I was in a small room with an window view. Everything felt numb, all my bones and nerves, and, I didn't know how this was possible, even my eyes felt numb. I slowly tried to lift my arm but someone's hand touched me and pushed me down gently.

"I wouldn't do that."

I looked over and saw Ludwig in a horrible state. There were dark circles under his eyes and his hair instead of his usual neat, slicked back sate, was now messy and disheveled.

"Ludwig?" My voice sounded croaky. How long was I out? "What happened to you?" Ludwig avoided my eyes and my question as he said, "The others are outside, speaking with the police. I wanted to stay with you in case you woke up."

He grabbed my hand and started to kiss it over and over. He finally rested my hand on his forehead. "Who did this to you?" He asked, shaking his head. He looked at me and his icy blue eyes were soft for the first time. "Please, I need to know..."

"I can't! I can't, I can't, I can't..." I said, my voice trembling. "He said, He said, not to..."

I blinked back tears and tried to answer, but my voice failed and I started to cry.

Ludwig grabbed me and pulled me into his arms. he started to stroke my hair as I sobbed louder, as my body hurt to move.

"Mach dir keine Sorgen." He whispered to me in German. My sobs quieted as I listened to the soft words spoken in an rough language. "Ich werde dich nie gehen lassen."

He gently grabbed my cheek. I closed my eyes and put my hand over his as I felt his lips press on my forehead.

He gently laid me back down on the bed. I grabbed his hand and squeezed it for while until he interrupted the peaceful silence.

"I think...I should go out and talk with the police." He stood up and I squeezed his hand. "No, Ludwig, please, stay with me." Ludwig blushed and turned back to smile at me. It felt like I had just won the world.

"Don't worry, Tomoyo, I'll be back after I'm done. I'll send Nanase-san in to keep you company."

He leaned over and kissed my forehead again. I blushed and smiled. He walked out and Nanase came in smiling.

"You're awake! I'm so happy, you were out for hours!"

I smiled weakly. "I have to something to tell you."

Nanase leaned in. "What is it? Is it about the guy who-

I shook my head and blinked back tears. Nanase quickly quieted.

"Ludwig finally-

The doctor came in with everyone else behind him. Even Heracles was here. "Well, Miss. Ichihara-san, you're very lucky. You don't have any broken bones, so you'll be fine in a few days. I want you to stay here for tonight and tomorrow in case of trauma through. Then you can go back to a normal summer vacation." The doctor smiled at me and left the room.

Suzuran smiled at me. "After you get out of the hospital, Heracles and Kiku came up with the idea of going to Tokyo. We can hike Mt. Fuji while we're there."

I smiled. 'Yeah, that sounds like a great idea. I can't wait to go!"

Heracles nodded while Kiku smiled, a rarity.

"It was nothing, really."

"We thought...it was...a good idea...at the time."

And so, Heracles was added to our group. He was a complete stranger really, but...I don't know...

"C'mon guys, let's go get some lunch. Nanase-san, are you coming?"

"No, I'll stay here with Tomoyo until Ludwig gets back."

"In that case, I'll stay too," Said Fuyuki, walking over and sitting next to Nanase. I smiled at my friend like 'you're so lucky' and drifted off to sleep.

Mach dir keine Sorgen- Do not worry

Ich werde dich nie gehen lassen- I will never let you go
