Hetalia and Nyotalia belong to Hidekaz Himaruya, not me.


The Netherlands, alias Lieke Van Dijk, had been in Japan for about a week. This was her second time visiting, and she was still a bit nervous. The Japanese were not used to seeing a foreigner in their midst, especially one as threatening looking as Lieke.

But this trip was not just for pleasure, she also came to protect Japan, to protect Sakura. America, the idiot, had decided that Sakura should open her country up for trade. But Sakura was naïve and so new to the Western world; she'd also be open to attack.

"Ms. Van Dijk? Ms. Van Dijk!" Lieke turned to see one of Japan's citizens running towards her. She had sent him to Sakura to see how she was dealing with America.

"What's the matter?"

The Japanese man shuffled a bit on his feet before saying, "I'm sorry! But according to the information I got just now, Japan signed a treaty of peace and amity with America!"

Lieke but her lip and looked at the ground, trying not to show her emotions.

It looks like you found someone else to watch the cherry blossoms fall with...

"Ms. Van Dijk?"

"...Give me a light," she said, pulling out her long pipe.

"Is everything alright, Ms. Van Dijk?"

"Yes, but I need to be heading home now. Give Ms. Honda my regards."

Good luck with America, Japan. You'll need it...
