Building A Nation
AN1: I am sooooo sorry I have been bsaically in a writers coma. School had hit me on the road to awesomeness and ever since, I have been placed into a house filled with caring people who keep me alive by only small hope. Homework posion has been making its way into my bloodstream and no one thought I would live to see this story completed. I had only the thought of yaoi and Hetalia clouding my mind while I was in that homework coma and now that I have awakened, I realized just how much time was lost. I am so sorry and I have filed a claim and I am sueing the school for almost killing me. Thank you.
AN2: Well now that my horrific incident of terror is over, how about some yaoi?
AN3: Wow that was long…heheh. Erm…I own nothing? Yeah that's it!

Ivan's POV:
I stared blankly at the people that stood in front of me. Actually more at the nation who I wasn't really on good terms with. The other nation just rushed passed my side and jumped onto Yao laughing with glee. It was Kiku and Yong Soo, a couple of Yao's closest siblings.
"Yao-hyung!"(1) Yong Soo cried with joy as he jumped up in down with happiness on Yao's bed.
"Oof! It's nice to see you too Yong Soo aru!" Yao said smiling.
I smiled. 'Well at least he remembers someone!' I thought to myself.
Kiku walked over to Yao's bed and tried to calm down his over jittery brother. Even though he tried to keep his composure together he couldn't help but smile at seeing his older brother actually alive from all of that.
"Yao-hyung! You had me so worried! I mean, I was over at Kiku's place talking when we saw the news talking about you. They said you were hurt by a bomb and that they couldn't find you. I was so scared but Kiku said that you would overcome all this." Yong Soo cried.
Yao's face contorted in utter confusion but he let it slide. "Well, I've dealt with worse aru. No need to worry!" he said patting Yong Soo's head.
"Well you can't really blame him for worrying Yao-nii."(2) Kiku said smiling.
Yao couldn't hold back just staring at Kiku for a while. Not saying anything, he just tilted his head in confusion and remembrence.
"Yao-nii? What's wrong?" he asked.
"I…don't remember you aru…"
I heard Yong Soo gasp, my eyes opened wide in shock but it was Kiku who took it the hardest. Kiku chuckled a little bit after a few seconds. "You're joking right?" he asked smiling just a tiny bit.
Yao shook his head. "I don't remember you aru…Are you a nation?"
Kiku's smile turned into a look of seriousness. "Yes…I am a nation but you know that Yao…what's wrong with you? Don't you remember me?"
Yao just shook his head. "No, I have no memory of you aru."
Kiku's look of seriousness fell from his face turning into one of concern and dismay. "I am a nation! Japan! Your younger brother Yao-nii! Don't you remember raising me? You found me in the bamboo forest! How could you forget me…?" he cried grabbing a hold of Yao's shoulders and shaking him.
Yao shrunk back and clutched onto his blanket in fear of Kiku. One look at Kiku's face told it all; he was in pain.
"Erm…Yao, we'll be right back da?" I said grabbing hold of Kiku and escorting him outside the room. I felt Kiku trying to protest and get out of my grasp but I held him tightly. I walked out of the room and closed the door. I then released him from my hands.
"Why is it that he can't remember me? His own brother?" he demanded almost on the verge of tears.
I placed my hand on his shoulder. "Relax Kiku. Yao was hit on the head and even though most of his memories have come back, some are still gone. He doesn't remember the most recent war, some recent events, other nations and you." I explained carefully.
"Wait, what do you mean "other" nations? Who doesn't he remember?" he asked shaking my hand off his shoulder.
I paused for a second, trying to find the right words to say. I was still in shock that he didn't remember anything about me.
After a second or two Kiku nodded in understandment. "I'm sorry. I know how much he means to you and the fact that he doesn't remember you must be hard." Is all Kiku said.
I know Kiku long enough to know that in any other situation on any other day, he would be terrified of me. But now, I could see in his eyes that today, we would have a peace treaty; for Yao's sake.
"Thank you Kiku." I said softly.
He smiled and nodded as we both went back into the room where we saw Yong Soo showing Yao a "get well" card he drew in crayon. On the inside cover a picture of Yao, Yong Soo and Kiku together holding hands. At the bottom read "get well" and a p.s. that read "Get well cards were from Korea, did you know?"
Kiku walked up slowly to the bed and softly called Yao's name. Yao looked at him solemnly and Kiku cast his eyes downward. "Yao, I'm sorry for being so rude. It was very unprofessional of me. It won't happen again."
Yao looked up at him and smiled. "I forgive you aru. If you and I were on opposite ends here I probably would do the same thing aru." He said opening his arms wide, wanting a hug. Kiku more than welcomed this hug and the three siblings all embraced in a warm, loving hug.
I stood in the corner, my face in a childish grin like I normally have on. 'I know how even though Yao doesn't remember Kiku directly, I know Yao to read the mood of things. I know how he is supposed to know that Kiku is his brother. I know he knows to show affection to him but he doesn't remember me yet.' I thought to myself. As soon as I realized this I almost broke down and cried.
'Why does he not remember me?'
-o-
1: That's how Yong Soo refers to Yao, it basically means older brother.
2: That's how Kiku refers to Yao. Oniisan is how you say older brother in Japanese, his nickname he has for Yao is Yao-nii. Get it? Moving on!
AN1: Sorry again for the delay! I also know you guys were expecting more. I swear these will get longer. I'm also battling a cold here so bear with me.
AN2: How about I try to promise a chapter every weekend? Is that a better promise to keep? I think it is!
