You have our surprise
A/N: Hey guys! I'm rather proud of how I've kept up with the story decently so far. I'm sorry to say that I'm working on a research paper for my English class and am not sure how that's going to work with fanfiction schedule…

Haha! So I missed you all, and I know you missed me like always! I gotta say it's interesting reading some of the things you guys are reviewing with. But I'm not gonna spoil it (granted this chapter should clear a few ideas up).

With love from Chibitalia: Glad you like it so much, stop pestering me to post I'm busy! Haha! Here's the next chapter anyway, so you'd better enjoy it! ;P
Japan sighed, knocking on the door. As much as he hated the idea, they had to try something. Greece stood behind him, intending to get their mission accomplished.
The door opened and, as usual, a perky little Italian stood within it. "Ve~ Japan! How are you?"
"I am fine, Itary. Is Mr. Germany here?" *He always asked this*
"No, not at the moment." *He always got this answer*
"Where is he?"
"Well… he's sleeping!" Sleeping?
"Here?"
"Of course! Where else would he sleep?"
Japan blinked, considering that. The Italian had a point. "Can I go upstairs to tark with him?"
Italy shook his head. "You can come inside and wait for him to wake up, but he was reeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaally exhausted when he went upstairs. He's had a lot of work from his new boss recently."
"I didn't know Mr. Germany got a new boss."
Italy nodded. "The media hasn't made a big deal of it yet, it's still a fairly recent thing. Would you like to come in and wait?" *He always got invited in to wait*
"Sure. Arigatou." *He always accepted*
Walking in, he and Greece sat down on one of the couches while Italy ran into the kitchen to get them something to eat, as he usually did when Japan came over. Then, they would probably eat and talk pointlessly until Italy apologized for, in this case, how long Germany was asleep and suggest they come back another time. Then, as usual, Japan would accept and leave. He'd been through this eight times in the past couple weeks, and Mr. Germany was never out quite that much.
Although the bit about the new boss was surprising.
Japan's concentration was distracted as he noticed Greece stand up next to him. "I'm going to look around." Japan gave a small nod, watching him walk away up one of the halls.
Then, a few minutes of silence before Italy returned with a couple plates of pasta. "Ve~ Where's Greece?"
"He… uh… he went to the bathroom." Japan probably should have thought of what the excuse would be before Italy came back.
"Oh… Okay!" Italy smiled. "But he might want to hurry or his pasta will get cold~"
"I'm sure he won't take too rong." Japan accepted the pasta from Italy as the Italian sat down in his seat, looking about the room. Then, came a small silence that usually didn't settle over them. The Italian always had something to say…
~~~~(( ~ ~ (/O\\) ~ ~ ))~~~~
So getting lost was not part of his original plan… granted, his plan wasn't very concrete to begin with. All it consisted of was 'look around the house and see if you find anything suspicious… or Germany…' so who's to say getting lost wasn't incorporated in that.
Sighing, the Grecian began opening doors and continuing to look about. Where is he…?
He blinked, realizing he'd already been down this hall. This was counter-productive… Yawning, Heracles glanced at the ground. Maybe a quick nap would help…
No, he'd be caught for sure. He'd be caught if he took too long… how much time had passed already? There weren't any clocks around him… why oh why didn't he wear a watch? That would have been a good idea.
He really should have thought about this more before suggesting the plan to Kiku, who was probably covering for him right now with Italy. All he'd found so far was that Germany wasn't in his bedroom… unless that hadn't been his bedroom he'd found. It wouldn't surprise him if it was a guest bedroom, the room was perfectly orderly. But he'd expect that someone as OCD as Germany would keep their room perfectly orderly, so… telling the difference between his room and a guest room would be hard.
There were a couple locked doors, but he imagined most houses would have at least one… right? To be honest, he wasn't sure. His doors didn't lock, he didn't need to lock them. But Greece wasn't exactly the best representation of most people, so…
This searching was getting him nowhere anytime soon, he ought to start heading back. Turning about, he realized once again: he had no idea where he was. This was terrific. If he could find a window or something to go outside, he could go around and find the front door. Except… Italy would wonder how he got outside. He doubted Japan's excuse covered him legitimately leaving.
So, no windows. This was going to be tough… and there weren't any cats he could follow, either. Granted… didn't Germany have a few dogs? Where were they?
For all he knew, they were asleep with Germany and he hadn't found Germany's room yet. This house hadn't looked so big from the outside… but he already knew he was going up halls more than once, so it was probably just him.
Best idea would be to retrace his steps. Turning around, that's what Greece determined he'd do. It couldn't be that hard, right? Then, when he got back he and Kiku could leave and begin figuring things out.
So he walked back up the halls he'd been down several times in the past who-knows-how-long, opening all the doors he'd opened and stepping in approximately the same places he'd stepped – or as much as he could remember.
Eventually, he did find his way back to the living room! He smiled, walking in and letting the door close behind him…
He looked at the couch. "Japan…?" Maybe he went home?... how much time had passed… how on earth would Japan have covered for Greece with Italy. It didn't take much to convince Italy, but Kiku wasn't much of a liar. Maybe he was in the bathroom a-
His thoughts were cut off by a searing pain in the back of his head as he fell forward and hit the ground, his vision blacking out.
A/N: Hey guys, sorry it took me so long to get this chapter written. You have no idea how busy this research paper is keeping me, so I'm not sure when I'll get another chance to post. Guarantee is that the very latest it will be posted is in another couple weeks over my thanksgiving break, okay? And once Christmas break starts, it'll be one a week. I just know it!
So as for questions, I don't really have any. I'm just a little curious to know what you're thinking of the story so far and where you think it'll go (not that you haven't already told me this and not that I'll tell you if you're right or not). Also, tell me if there's anything I can adjust in my writing. I'm taking a creative writing minor, so the contribution is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hope you enjoyed!
