Chapter 2

Prussia relaxed into the hot, wonderful water. He was told this was how most people relax in the Land of the Rising Sun and was most enjoying it. The Prussian sighed blissfully, sinking into the water a little.

"Oh West hurry up! The water feel sooo good! Haha.", the Prussian called out. The sliding door opened to reveal his bruder with a towel around his vital regions. He touched cautiously the water his toe before letting his feet go in as h e sat down on the edge.

"Bruder?", Germany called out to the happy Prussian.

"Was West?"

"Why are you having dinner with Mr. Japan?"

"To...", a small blush appeared on the once pale white cheeks of the Prussian," to build close relations. Boss wants us to be his friends. Even if the Emperor rejects the letter, if Japan disagrees we still have a chance."

"Will we be his first European friends then?"

"That's the plan. Ah West get in here! It feels great.", Prussia said, stretching out his arms before put them behind his head. The smaller nation smirked as got into the water. When Prussia closed his eyes, a wet splash of heat it his face. "Oh so it's like that!", the Prussian grabbed a bucket near by and filled it a little with water. Just when he was about to get his brother back, Germany dunked into the spring. Prussia moves his head from side to side, checking behind him, waiting for the other to pop up then suddenly he was attacked from the front. They both fell in together.

"Haha nice west. You're learning. With the most Awesome nation in the world you'll become a powerful nation as well but...", Germany looked at his brother after re amergingfrom the warm water, You still aren't good enough yet." The younger nation was then dunked into the water once more. After their little water fight, they left the hot spring to get ready.

It was now noon time and Japan was supposed to spend the day showing them around. The Oriental man had refused to have dinner with the Prussian at first but then he tricked Japan into showing him and his brother around the capital and to have dinner with him. Really the Prussian didn't care much if he got lost around here, just needed an excuse.

Germany and Prussia waited outside the inn for the Asian nation. Prussia told his men do as they pleased for now. But warned them if they caused trouble, he would personal kill them. The white haired man wanted nothing bad to happen that could hurt his friendship with the Land of the Rising Sun.

The brothers didn't have to wait long for their host and tour guide to arrive. He was in his black uniform and was carrying some sort of sword. It was different from the ones the Prussian had seen. It was also strange to see the Asian carrying the weapon since he was unarmed yesterday. What could he need a sword for?

"Konnichwa, I'm sorry for making you all wait.", Japan greeted, bowing to them. That whole bowing thing was getting a little on the Prussian's nervous. Everyone he meet did that. It like everyone here had ot bow after speaking. Only servants bowed to their master back in the west. Though when the Oriental Nation bowed, he got a little turned on.

"Koanechwa.", Prussia greeted back, failing to pronounce that word correctly.

"Gutentag.", Germany said in his own language.

"Please follow me this way.", the Asian said, pointing to where he came from. They walked along the dirt path, following the older one's lead. They listened to him when he spoke about their surrounds, or at least Germany listened. Prussia went into a little daze as the Oriental spoke. He had a soft, yet commanding emotionless voice. It was still so beautiful to the Prussian. He then remembered back in the garden the other's voice having more emotion, as they walked. He was intriuged to know more about this land of the rising sun.

"What's that?", the little German asked, pointing to a tree that had rope and paper on it.

"Do you remember what I said last night about demons? That tree has one sealed inside. Shinto priest are able to seal demons away. Sometimes it works, other times the sealing fails. You should never cut the rope or the demon inside will eat you.", Japan says the last part in a half joking kinda of way. Prussia eyes then wided before his lips curled into a smirk. The haired man just figured out something about his soon-to-be-more-than-friend. Now he just has to find away to use his new found knowledge. Japan continued to explain things to Germany, while Prussia observed, not really caring about demons and gods or about flowers. Prussia turned to the Asian who was now showing the german a pink covered tree.

"It's a sakura tree. I believe that translates to kirschenblüte baum, in your language.", as the Asian spoke, a breeze flew some of the flowers off. One of the pink flowers landed in the red eye man's hair. The Prussian didn't know this though so Germany and Japan stared at him.

"Was?", Prussia asked. They were giving him a weird look, one like they wanted to laugh. Japan then sunddenly moved closer to the white haired Prussian. He rasied his hand to the others head, pluking the flower from his hair.

"Sakuras are my national flower. Along with the Chrysanthemum.", Japan said, letting the flower be carried off by the wind.

They stayed a while watching the cherry blossoms before seeing more of Tokyo. As it was getting dark, Prussia dropped off Germany back at the inn. Him and Japan went to a tavern near a lake to eat. Prussia struggled to use his chopsticks when the food arrived. The night before he used one chopstick since he could figure out how to use both. Japan let his lips form a small amused smile while watching his white haired companion. The Prussian was currently eating shrimp by stabbing it with a chopstick. He looked up at the Asian, who's smile instantly disappeared, to ask a question.

"When will I get your boss' reply?", Prussia asked with a mouth full of rice.

"Soon, I told a messangerto come by here with it." , Japan said before gracefully picking up his chopsticks and used them to pick up some rice. Prussia watched while the Asian ate. He was amazed how a man could eat so perfectly, almost like a girl. The Prussian decided to voice his thoughts.

"Are you a women?", this stopped Japan when he was about to take a bite of seaweed.

"I'm sorry. I think I miss translated what you said."

"You eat like a girl. Are you one?"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you but I am male."

"Good.", Prussia stated before continuing to eat shrimp with a chopstick. Japan expression stated stoic even though he didn't understand what the Prussian meant. They ate in silence for the rest of the meal. When done Prussia told Japan of his awesome battles.

"It was a pretty close fight but in the end I won awesomely. Oh there was-" , the Prussian was cut off when a man in a black uniform came over to them. He handed Japan a box and he was then dismissed by the other. Japan then handed the box to the Prussia.

"In here is my Emperor's reply.", Prussia then opened the box, taking out a piece of paper. Japan gave him a puzzled look since that box was meant for his boss. He tired to read the other's expression as he read the letter. Japan didn't read the letter given to his boss but he knew it had to do with trade but he was unsure of his boss's answer. Prussia then placed the paper back into the box and closed it. He gave the Asian a smirk before speaking.

"Listen, lets make a deal. If I win a dual againstyou, you have to trade with me. Also you have do one thing for me. If you win I'll never come back here. How bout it? Let's see who's sword is more awesome.", the Prussian proposes.
