The flow of night breeze, and the sound of gushing leaves, interrupted the Asian's sleep. The sky had turned dark, and sun had set already. The moonlight came through the glass window, into the bedroom.
The injured person, finally opened his eyes, seeing a lot of bandages around his wounds. He also wasn't wearing his usual uniform. It was another military uniform. He tried to sit down on the bed, as he tried to endure the pain he had. He looked around, seeing his katana which is on the table, and he saw someone on the left side of his bed. It was America. He was sleeping while sitting on the chair.
The injured Japan was quite surprised to see him. Then, not long, someone opened the door.
"Hmm? Oh, you finally awake, Japan."
It was England. It seemed that he came in because he's worried.
"Oh, Mr. England. It's good to see you. But, what are you doing here?"
"What am I doing here? I think you have that backwards. Isn't it normal for me to be in my homeland? What are YOU doing here?"
"Oh, uh, I was..."
While Japan was a bit nervous, America had awaken from his sleep. He rubbed his eyes, before he looked at Japan. He immediately gave him a hug.
"Ahhh! Japan! You finally awake!"
"Mr. America! Uh, thank you..."
"Hey, America! Be a little more considerate, will you? Japan's still healing from his wounds!"
"C'mon! Let me at least give him a hug!"
"You already have."
Then, America let go of Japan. England walked towards Japan, who was still sitting on the bed.
"Seriously, Japan. You gave us the heart attack... I thought you died or something."
"We nations aren't supposed to die so easily, right?"
"You shouldn't take it so simple, though."
"Where am I anyway?" Japan looked around, and he saw it as a room that he never knew.
"You're in the Phantomhive Manor. We weren't able to find a place for you to rest, so we decided to bring you back here, and called a doctor. He said that you'll be fine."
"By 'we', I assume it's you two?"
"Nah. Five of us."
"Five? Are the others the Allies?"
"No, well. 2 aren't."
Then, as Japan was a bit confused, another one came in.
"Ah, have you regained your consciousness yet?" Sebastian bowed a little.
"Oh, uh..." Japan was a bit confused to see a straight butler so suddenly.
"Oh, Japan. Let me introduce you. He's Sebastian. The butler."
"Pleased to meet you, sir."
"Same here. I'm Japan."
"My Young Master wanted to see you all, but I guess you can't move in that condition."
"No no. It's fine. I know I'm not fully healed yet, but I can walk."
Japan walked down to the floor. England and America tried to help him.
"By the way, where's my usual uniform?"
"Ah. It was soaked in blood. So I have it washed. Do not worry." Sebastian informed Japan.
"It's good that my spare military uniform fits on you." England replied.
"Hahaha! That's exactly the time when you're useful, England!" America laughed.
"Shut up!"
Japan only smiled to see that his two friends didn't change at all.
Sebastian escorted the three to the study room, where Ciel had waited. Inside the room, Russia was sitting there, reading a book. He looked at the three nations, and waved at them, before he returned the book to the shelf.
"Hey, you three! Looks like you're doing fine, Japan." Russia smiled his usual grin.
"Yeah, thank you." Japan was a bit nervous, since he saw a strange aura around Russia.
"Well, since everyone is here, we can start our talk." Ciel said it while sitting on the chair.
"I'll be blunt. Japan, tell us everything you know." Ciel immediately asked Japan, as the latter sat down on the chair, helped by America.
"I guess I should. Where should I start?" Japan was thinking to himself.
"Just something simple. Like why are you here?" England suggested to Japan, since the latter still looked tired. He wouldn't want to make Japan thought too hard.
"I see. Well then, let me start from there."
Japan took his breath for a second, so he wouldn't feel stress and nervous.
"I was helping our country's shipping for goods and other things. My boss is currently busy at the time, so he told me to go in his place. There's a lot of goods that we haven't taken yet, since it will come in a few more days. Since I wouldn't be leaving this country for a while, I decided to go sightseeing firsthand. It's where I heard about the missing people. By pure coincidence, I saw someone killed a citizen in a house. I was shocked, but I couldn't just stay there, so I burst into the house. However..."
"When you arrived, that culprit was gone." Ciel added.
"That's correct. I don't want to see anymore of it happens, so I decided to look for that person. But then, I caught a glimpse of that person. I can't believe it when I saw myself, with exact face in front of me."
"Wait a sec. There are two of you?"
"Another Japan? A doppelganger?" England was quite confused himself.
"That is a total disgrace against my country. If this continues, then I'm afraid we won't be able to make anymore alliances. The other countries won't be able to trust me anymore."
"So, you chased that culprit to regain your honor." England looked at Japan.
"It's very much so. I finally able to meet that person, and fought him, but I lost. I thought that my wounds would heal as usual, but this time, the regeneration process slowed down. I decided to rest in the nearby house, to wait for my wounds to heal."
"Whoa, Japan! That's crazy!" America suddenly talked.
"That's something that I can't help in that situation."
"Then, it means that the Japan I fought with, is the doppelganger. Yeah, I believe so. Ufu~" Russia grinned as he always did.
"For what purpose, though? Is he trying to blame someone for this? That reason is too absurd." Ciel stood up from his chair.
"This thing is getting even more complicated..." England scratched his head.
"Hey, c'mon! Give me a simple explanation! My brain is not that smart!" America tried to raise the situation.
"For now, Japan. You'll have to rest until your health is back." England suggested. "Though, if the culprit comes to fight you, you'll have to defend yourself..."
"There's no need to worry about that." Ciel suddenly talked with his usual sinister smile.
"He'll be fine here. We can make sure." Sebastian added more points to Ciel's statement.
"This house is guarded by my personal army. They are the people that me and Sebastian personally chose. You can trust them."
"Who? Don't tell me they are those 3 servants..." England was worried for a second there.
Ciel replied with an evil grin, and seeing that reaction, England was ever so sure with his hunch. America only looked in confusion, since he had a hard time to understand the situation.
"I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience." Japan bowed to Ciel, as a sign of respect.
"Nah, don't mention it." Ciel gave a simple smile, which is different from usual. It was a childlike smile.
Japan replied with a small smile before he went back to his room. America and England followed behind. Since it's already dark, they returned to their rooms and took a rest for the day. Russia was still inside, together with the Earl and the butler.
Then, when silence was still in the air, Russia stood up. "Well, I should get going too."
Before Russia went out, Ciel stopped him.
"Wait a minute, Russia."
The latter gave him his usual happy face.
"You do have something in mind, right? Your own plot to play."
"I don't know what you're talking about~ And I have my own ways of doing things."
"Hope it won't get in our way."
"It won't. I don't plan on going that far."
Russia left the room. Ciel and Sebastian looked at the door.
"Every single one of us have the possibility to be a culprit. We have to keep a close eye on them."
"I understand."
Russia leaned against the wall in his room. In the midst of the silence, he quietly whispered to himself.
"Plot to play, huh? Maybe so, but I'm not that evil."
Author's note:
Hi everyone. Sorry for the late update. Tests and exams are flowing in my mind. I still have time to study. Anyway, this is chapter 12. Sorry if this chapter is out of your expectations. I have a little hard time. But now Russia's acting suspiciously, no? I tried to detail on how badly injured Japan was in this chapter. I was thinking to write the other characters, but if so, then the plot will be extremely long. Well, I'll answer to that in later chapters. Hope you all enjoy and please review!
