There are times when England really regretted his placement on the world map. This was one of those times. Since France lived so close and America also living fairly close, the two decided it would be fun to mess with England a bit before heading to Asia. Now here the Englishman was, glaring back at a certain American and French man after opening the door.
"Sup, Iggy!" America shouted with his signature grin.
"Ready to go to China's house, Angleterre?" France asked. Since China practically lived the closest to Japan, everyone (or just America and France) decided to meet up at her house. Of course, China was unaware of this.
Before England could spat out any insults and what not, America and France linked their arms with his, dragging the Brit off with them, still remembering to grab his bag along with.
Back at China's house, China was sitting outside on the porch, arms crossed and face in a pissed look. Her siblings had kicked her out of her own house just to go through their little plan.
"Can I come back in yet ahen?" China shouted, not at all hiding the venom in her tone of voice.
"No~" South Korea answered, causing China to be even more irritated than before.
"Privet ((Hello)), China~" The said nation heard, turning her head all around to see who said 'hi'. That's when she noticed Russia walking up to her, taking a seat besides her.
"Nihao ((Hello)), Russia." China greeted back. "What are you doing here aru? Weren't we all just going to meet up in Japan?"
"I heard America say that we were going to all meet up here da!" Russia answered. China only gave back a gaping look since she never heard of this news. Her irritation level increased even more knowing that the others purposely planned on coming to her home, uninvited. "Say, China, how are you suppose to take a bath with all of us?"
Taken back by Russia's question, China turned to him, giving him a confused look. "W-what do you mean aru?"
"Well, you are girl da~" Russia answered with a friendly smile and head tilt. China only stared blankly back at her Russian friend.
"What are you talking about ahen? I am a man!" China fumed, waving her arms up and down. Russia only chuckled.
"Oh, you are so funny, Yao-Yao~" He said, keeping his innocent smiled as he patted the Asian's head. "I've known since the first time we met da~ But it seemed you didn't want anyone to know, so I didn't say anything~"
China stopped fuming, blinking a couple of times at Russia. Soon after, she smiled sweetly, guessing Russia could be trusted. Hey, if he knew that long and didn't say anything, it shouldn't be that bad.
"Xie xie, Ivan..."
"Mmhmm~ What are friends for~" China snorted at the Russian's comment. It was true; they've known each other for a long time. "By the way, why are you sitting out here by yourself?" Russia asked.
"Um, I just wanted some fresh air aru!" China answered with a blush, embarrassed to say that her siblings kicked her out of the house. Russia just smiled back, making it hard for China to tell if he bought the lie or not.
"AND THE HERO HAS ARRIVED!" A booming voice filled the air. China sighed, knowing full well who it was.
"I thought we were going to meet in Japan aru..." China growled, looking up at the westerners.
"We were, but then I came up with the brilliant plan to meet up here!" America answered, grinning ear to ear. "Let's go!" Right then, the front door opened and stepping out were the Asians. "Uhh..."
"Don't leave without us da ze!" South Korea pouted. Each of them had a duffle bag and a backpack with them. Hong Kong was holding onto China's, tossing over the bags to his sister, who caught them with ease.
"Dude! How are we going to go with the plan now?" America whispered to England. The Brit's eyes widened as he turned to the American. "Earth to Iggy! Asians are like, ninjas!" England only gave a blank look at America's explanation.
"How about we forget all of this and just go home?" England suggested through an annoyed tone. America only stuck out his tongue.
"Well, I don't know what you two are talking about, but I think we should proceed on going." France interrupted, only hearing what England said, "A nice soak in an onsen sounds really lovely at the moment. We should all share one large bath, no?" He added, looking suggestively at Taiwan and Vietnam, only to get a wok to the face.
"Stay away from my sisters, you nasty perv ahen..." China growled to France, who was on the floor, trying to regain himself. No matter what, China was still an overprotective big 'brother'.
"Are we going ana?" Thailand asked innocently. All the other Asians, excluding China and Russia, gave him blank looks, which he didn't seem to notice.
"Do the Asians seem kinda weird to you guys?" America asked France and England. They were all on their way to Japan, the Asians all crowding around their older sister with watchful eyes. Surprisingly, China didn't seem to noticed this one bit, or didn't seem to care. Most likely the first one of the two, though.
"Well, they are Asians." France shrugged.
"Well, yeah! But that's not what I meant!" England gave the two a look that read 'wtf?' as they went back and forth. What were the Asians to them... "Hey, is it me or is there an extra Asians?" America asked, noticing the extra head around China.
"No, I see it, too..." France answered, counting off the Asians that should be here on his fingers. England turned to who the two were talking about, noticing they were talking about North Korea. "There should be seven, but I see eight..." The French man added with a confused look.
"Well, he kinda looks like Korea-" That's when it finally hit America, "That's North Korea..." He said darkly. England and France stepped aside when he did so. "Man! I hate that guy! He blames me for every little thing!" America growled. "Why is he even here?"
"Well, he is China's brother. He probably invited him since the rest of the family were going." England answered, not seeming to be all that interested in America's venting.
When they arrived at Japan's onsen, it was about 6 p.m. (they didn't leave that early...). They group waited outside while Japan set everything up side. When the door finally opened, Japan was standing there, bowing soon after.
"I hope you fine my finest onsen to your liking." Japan politely said, stressing the 'my' to get the point across to South Korea. The whole trip here, the younger Asian kept on saying that onsens originated in South Korea. "You can each find a complimentary yukata in your room." Before South Korea could say anything, Japan intervened. "No, the yukata did not originate in South Korea..." The Japanese man said, holding back his anger.
"How are the rooms split up?" England asked, defiantly not wanting China to be in the same room as America and/or France.
"Um, well-" Before Japan could answer England's question, America popped up.
"Pfft! Ain't it obvious! It's the Allies in one room, Asian dudes in one, and Asian girls in another!" He shouted. England paled a bit at the answer. China didn't really seemed all that fazed. If she was nervous, she had a great way of hiding it.
"Wait, no! America-" Japan tried to clarify that that was not the plan, but it was a bit too late. The enthusiastic American already ran off, pulling England and China along. Behind them were France and Russia. Japan sighed, telling the worker besides him something in Japanese before she went off after the Allies.
"We're going to rearrange all that later, right?" Vietnam asked when the work left.
"Hai." Japan answered with a nod. "But for now, we should just quickly drop everything off and change before anything happens." Everyone nodded in agreement, running off to their designated rooms. Left behind was North Korea, who just sighed and followed everyone by walking.
Back with the Allies, they were all in their room. Everyone had place their bags down and grabbed a yukata. When they all had one, they noticed that there was not enough; China didn't have one. That was when there was a knock on the door. China opened it, seeing an out of breath worker at the door. She apologized for 'being one sort a yukata'. The Chinese girl took it, reassuring the working it was fine.
"Okay, well I'm going to change aru." China said, walking towards the bathroom. America then elbowed England, making the Brit turn to him and see a smirk on the American's face.
"Why don't you change out here like the rest of us, China?" America asked. China only gave him an expressionless look, then turned to France. America and England followed her gaze and there was France, standing back towards them, whistling in his birthday suit.
When the two turned back to China, she was already looking back at them. "Uh, yeah..." With that, China left the room. "Well, that didn't go out as planned." America said, closing his eyes and nodding his head, his hand on his chin all sophisticated like. England only smacked the back of his head, changing himself in the corner of the room.
When the Chinese nation stepped out the bathroom, everyone else was already changed. England and America practically had to force France into his yukata while Russia just watched with amusement.
Unlike everyone else in the room, China actually went over to the bag to put in her clothes instead of just tossing them next to it. Right when she opened the bag, America popped up behind her, unnoticed. Sadly, England was not there to pull America away; he was busy choking France for his little act.
"Why do you have this?" America shouted, pulling something out of China's bag. This earned a unmanly squeak from the said nation when she saw what was pulled out.
England and France turned to America and China when hearing the squeak. First, England saw China madly blushing from what could be embarrassment or anger. When he turned to America and saw what he was holding, the Brit instantly lit up like Hong Kong's fireworks.
In America's hand was a small, white bra with pink straps and a printed pink Hello Kitty bow on one of the cups.
England immediately looked away. Yep, that had to be China's...
When the Brit turned away, he first noticed Russia staring out the window, looking at the view with his childish smile. At least he wasn't looking, but France was another story.
"Hon hon hon~ China~ I didn't know you were that kind of man~" France continued laughing, making England want to choke him to death that much more. China didn't find this funny at all and the next thing anyone knew, America was flying across the room, a footprint on his face.
"My bag was probably mixed up with Taiwan's or Vietnam's aru!" China shouted, cheeks still red as she took off with the bag and bra.
England watched as China stormed off, feeling bad at how embarrassed she must've been. When he turned back to America, the Brit sighed with annoyance, seeing his swirling eyes. "Git. You suck at snooping..." England said under his breath. He turned to the door China left through, guessing she probably went to the other Asian girls' room.
And he was right.
There was a knock on the door of Taiwan's and Vietnam's room. The Taiwanese one of the two went to the door, opening it up to see China at the door.
"J-Jiejie?" Taiwan's eyes were wide seeing her older sister out of breath and with a flushed expression. Before China could say anything, the younger pulled her in. "What happen?" Taiwan demanded to know once closing the door.
"N-nothing! I just need you to hold onto my stuff aru." China answered, placing her bags on the ground. Sadly for her, she didn't zip up the duffle bag before she stormed out and Taiwan was about to catch a glimpse of what was on top.
"THEY SAW YOUR B-" Taiwan started to yell, but China covered her mouth before she could finish.
"Ssshhh! No aru!" The Chinese nation lied. "I-I'm just making sure they don't by leaving my stuff here!"
"Making sure they don't see what..." China froze once hearing Vietnam's voice. When she turned, she saw the Vietnamese girl leaning on the door, arms crossed with demanding look.
"The guys saw China-Jie's b-"
"TAIWAN!" China interrupted again, flushed expression worsening. Luck was never on the Chinese girls side because Taiwan didn't need to finish her sentence for Vietnam to know what they saw.
"What?" The Vietnamese nation growled, walking over to her duffle bag. "I'm so glad I packed this." She said, pulling out her paddle. China watched with a look of horror. How'd she even fit that in her bag!
"NO, THAT'S NOT NECESSARY ARU!" China shouted, blocking the door with her body. Vietnam only glared back. She didn't understand why her older sister wanted to protect the douches that were causing her distress. Instead of pulling China out of the way, Vietnam just sighed, tossing her paddle aside. But inside, Vietnam swore that she would bring it out later if needed.
"Well, since you're here, China-Jie..." China stiffened when hearing Taiwan's malicious tone of voice. Turning her head slowly with her fear showing on her face, China saw Taiwan smiling back with her demon eyes, a comb in one hand and hair accessories in another. When the Chinese nation tried to turn and run, Vietnam was already blocking her, a long scarf in hand.
"T-Taiwan...? V-Vietnam...?" Slowly China backed away, unaware she was backing up into a corner; the worse place to be at a moment like this. "Kyaaaaaaa!~"
"W-what was that?" Japan asked out loud. He was in another room with Hong Kong and Thailand. North Korea was in another room and South Korea was walking around.
"It sounded like China ana." Thailand said, looking at the direction where the scream came from. Right then, Hong Kong and Japan stood up, rushing out the door. Japan first ran to the girls' room, Hong Kong standing at the door and looking out into the hall.
The younger Chinese nation raised a brow when seeing Japan run back out and back into his room. A second later, the Japanese man ran back out again, and into the Asian girls' room with what Hong Kong thought looked like hair stuff and his (Japan's) beloved camera. Why Japan brought that along, the Chinese teen could only guess.
Hong Kong's guess was correct when he heard China shout, "Get that stuff away from my hair aru!" and the next thing he knew, China had already ran out of the room and hid herself behind him, her hair all done up in a way only Japan and Taiwan would do. Hong Kong had to admit, it really did look nice on his older sister.
"China-San, I didn't get a picture yet!" Japan huffed, a bit out of breath, his camera in hand.
"No!" The Chinese nation muffled back. A bit confused why China muffled, Hong Kong turned around, seeing the older Chinese nation trying to untie her hands with her teeth. "Hong Kong! Help Jiejie aru!" China yelled, obviously unamused with being tied up.
Now in the room Hong Kong was in, China sat on the floor with her younger brother helping her hands get untied. Japan and Taiwan were taking pictures of their handy work, ignoring the vein on China's head. Thailand watched blankly while Vietnam watched with amusement.
"Is everyone alright? We were lots of screaming and yelling." England asked, looking through the open door. Besides him were America, France, and Russia; all also looking through the door.
The others turned, seeing the rest of the Allies at the door. Another look of horror was on China's face when she saw the others. England and America were both slightly pink, the Brit silent and the American holding down a laugh. France was also chuckling while Russia just smiled, as usual.
"Well, we seem to be learning a lot of things about our dear China today, no?" France teased, making the said Chinese nation snap.
"Out! All of you! Out ahen!" She roared, running towards the door. England, America, and France had, luckily, already started running. China slid out the door, watching the three run back to their room. "Damn luck I'm still tied up ahen!" She yelled.
Russia chuckled, patting China's head again. "You look really pretty, China~" He said. China glared up at her Russian friend, not at all fazing his childish smile.
"Well, this is going to be a fun trip." America said happily to England and France. The two Europeans of the group were still catching their breath. "Can't wait to see what happens later on!" The American shouted, earning a blank look from England, who was still huffing.
