The Reveal

Ivan's POV:

At this time I began to become pissed. 'How in the hell could he remember the person he's at war with but not the person he's allied with?' I thought.

Toris came in through the door and noticed me fuming with rage and pain. "I-I-van calm down! You're going to scare Y-Yao!" he said shaking with fear.

However just looking at Toris's face seemed to bring back more memories for Yao. "I believe I know who you are too aru. You're name is Toris Lorinaitis from Lithuania right aru?"

Words couldn't even describe the amounts of pain, anger, sadness and for some odd reason betrayel that I was feeling at the moment. So now he can remember only Alfred and Toris. Just vaguely, but he remembers them. 'And he can't even remember himself? Something is wrong here.' I thought.

I looked Yao straight in the eyes, this time I tried to take away any fear my piercing gaze may cause. "Yao, I need you to work with me on this and think hard da? How much of your past can you remember?" I asked. "Please help me here, you're name is Yao Wang, you are China; you're a nation."

"I'll try aru…" Yao said. He closed his eyes tightly and focused very deeply and intently. A full minute of a painful and tense silence went by before Yao's eyes shot open wide in shock. "UUGgggh!" he groaned loudly in pain.

I was instantly alert and at his side. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"My head…hurts so much aru!" Yao yelled clutching his head in pain. Crystal tears rolled down his face and his body started to shake.

I reached out my arms and pulled my love into a nice, tight embrace gently stroaking his back and his hair. "It's OK now Yao, you're OK da? You don't have to think too hard on it right now…" I whispered in his ear.

I knew that Yao was still unsure of just who I was, but even so, he slowly latched his good arm around my neck and sobbed into my chest heavily. I buried myself into Yao's neck in a silent comfort. Behind me I heard the door open and close and I felt no other presence in the room. I slid into bed next to Yao and wrapped my arm around his shoulders and brought him close to me. He responded by cuddling up next to me and resting his head on my chest.

"Yao, you remember who you are now da?" I asked and after he nodded I asked him once more. "How much do you remember?"

"I remember…about 4,000 years back aru. I remember the day I actually became a nation, I know I am China aru. I remember the events that took place up till now aru. Although some memories are still hazy; like the recent events that got me here I don't remember aru. And I still don't remember who you are. I also don't remember some other nations but I remember a few aru." Yao explained.

"So you don't remember this most recent war?" I asked.

"War? What war aru?"

My heart sank. 'How can he not remember anything about this war?' "I'll try to explain this carefully." I said thinking of the best ways to tell him this.

"You started a war Yao; about 2 years ago in fact. You were tired of how the other nations, mostly Alfred, were treating you and using you for granted just to get their cheap fill. You asked me to fight along beside you because you thought of me as your most loyal friend. Together we fought against Alfred, Arthur and Francis.

"However about a week ago, Alfred's boss dropped a bomb on your capitol Beijing. You were in Beijing at the time and you were knocked out by some pieces of the roof falling on your head. You remember something da?" I said trying to have him remember any form of deatil about his life.

"You mentioned we were fighting Alfred but you also said two other names aru. Arthur and Francis? I don't remember all about them but Arthur was an Englishman and Francis is a Frenchman am I correct aru?" Yao asked.

I nodded slowly. 'So he still doesn't fully remember everyone? Not even me? Well at least he's remembering something rather than nothing.' I thought.

It was a sudden knock on the door that adverted my attention from Yao. I got off the bed and walked towards the door. After I opened it however I honestly wish I hadn't come face to face with the person on the other side. At least not right now.
