Meimei changed out of her blue dress and swiftly put her long, exceptionally beautiful black dress that touched the floor with grace in her every step. Kiku changed too, but from his white tux to his black to match Meimei. She took out the blue clip and put her black one in instead, Kiku walked in and admired Meimei's silk black dress. He placed his hands around her hips and spun her around to face him, their lips were an inch from kissing and they both acknowledged that their outfits were impressive.

"You look fantastic" Kiku said to Meimei,

She giggled, "Same to you, never seen you this smart before"

"You haven't seen me in like 5 years" Kiku laughed, Meimei stood corrected,

"Touché" Meimei said, adjusting her long brown hair so it fell behind her shoulders,

"Shall we go?" KIku said holding his arm out to her; she smiled and placed her arm in his,

"Well shall" she kissed Kiku on the cheek and they approached the stairs. Down to the main hall.

The main hall wasn't the same as before, it was a different one. Bigger and more formal, Meimei hadn't seen something as posh as this. They walked over to Alfred and Kiku tapped his shoulder, he turned and greeted the Japanese man and the Taiwanese woman …. Flirty.

"Good Evening, Alfred" Kiku greeted,

"Good Evening, Mr Jones" Meimei greeted,

"Please, call me Alfred" he kissed her hand again, "Meimei" she snatched her hand away and wrapped it around Kiku's arm as if scared. She said to Kiku,

"I am going to wander around and meet people, okay?" Meimei said,

"Ok, see you in a bit" Kiku replied, as Meimei left Kiku and Alfred stared at each other. "You know I still haven't forgiven you"

"I know that, you think I invited so we could be friends? You were wrong, all those people I killed I feel glad about. Satisfied you might say"

Kiku clenched his fists, "Innocent people, you killed children and I intend to get even about this. For those young ones who died, I have nothing left to do. To never hurt my people again, I surrender to you America"

"I'm glad I don't have to kill anymore, I'm glad I have won" Reluctantly they shook hands and Alfred walked away smiling.

Meimei had met Arthur Kirkland and they both seemed to get along fine,

"So, what are Fish and Chips?" Meimei asked,

"Fried potatoes are Chips and fish you probably know" Arthur replied,

"Oh, I must have some sometime, they sound nice"

"Oh they are, have you tried tea?"

"Only green tea, is there any other tea?" Meimei asked,

"There's some over there, it's very nice. But you might want to try it with sugar first, goodbye. I hope to see you soon" Arthur said as he left,

"Same to you, goodbye" she replied,

She had made a couple of friends actually; she had actually got along with Elizabeta and Roderich. She even managed to hold a humorous conversation with Ivan, until Natayla showed up that is. Until she started to wander outside the ballroom and inspected Alfred's home, his real home was downstairs and she heard loud bangs from the cupboard. Meimei inspected the cupboard and entered a small room, possibly used for storing things, as she walked in she saw a small cat banging against the walls for escape. She smiled and picked up the small animal, cradling it in her arms and then it leapt out of her arms and behind the door was Alfred leaning on the doorframe, staring at Meimei as if in love.

"You're an adventurous one, aren't you?" he walked closer as Meimei walked away backwards, "You're very beautiful" he took off his glasses and leaned over as Meimei had nowhere else to run to, "You are Kiku's lover I believe?"

Meimei went to slap him; Alfred took her arm stopping the impact,

"Fuck off, you American shit! You hurt Kiku I swear I will kill you!" Meimei shouted, Alfred smiled and locked the door. Trapping them both in the room, he placed his hands on her hips and leaned his head closer to hers. Stopping their lips meeting Meimei turned to one side, Alfred smiled touching Meimei's hair and kissing the black flower pinned into it,

"Tonight, you will remember" Alfred said, he kissed her cheek. Meimei let a tear drop fall. She knew where this was going,

"No, it won't" a voice said from the door. Meimei's eyes opened wide, she knew that voice. It was Kiku and in his hand was a Samurai,

"Kiku!" shouted Meimei happily, she tried to escape Alfred's grasp. Alfred turned to the tear filled Meimei and shouted at her,

"Shut up, you Taiwanese slut!" Alfred exclaimed, he slapped Meimei on the side of her face and she dropped to the ground,

"That's it!" Kiku said to Alfred, "You're going to die!" he drew his sword out and pointed it at the American, all he did was smiled,

"Oh yeah?" he replied, out of his pocket he drew a handgun. The sobbing Taiwanese woman with blood strain across her cheek looked up, Alfred turned to her and pulled the hammer on his gun and pointed it at Meimei. She gasped and more tears formed, Kiku stood frozen, "You come forward anymore and I'll kill her, I'm not afraid to do that"

"You bastard" Kiku murmured, he circled Alfred and turned to his lover and nearly cried. How did they get this way?

"Go ahead, kill me. If you have the guts" Alfred said to Kiku, without hesitation Kiku raised his samurai to kill him. And so Alfred, also without hesitation, fired the gun. Kiku stared at his shot lover, and then filled with rage he stabbed Alfred, blood spilling through the floor. Kiku fell to his knees and hugged his lover who had been shot in the hip, Meimei was still alive but she was very weak. Her blood stained her dress and Kiku's tux, but he still embraced his lover and they still kissed. But Meimei's weak lifeless body felt like it had no life left in it, even though she was breathing. Her side still gushing out blood, Kiku lifted Meimei up and carried her to the ballroom to ask for help.

"I'm scared, Kiku. Will I die?" Meimei asked, her looked into her brown eyes and sighed,

"I'll make sure of it, whatever it takes"

"What about blood loss?" Meimei asked,

"It's a risk, my love" he kissed her eye as she closed her eyes to sleep, as Kiku entered the ballroom everybody circled around the two as Kiku laid Meimei down on the ballroom floor.

"What happened?" One nation asked, they all looked worried,

"She's going to go to sleep now, an eternal sleep. Of which she'll never wake" Kiku looked at his lover, tears falling from his eyes. He held his samurai up to his neck, everybody froze.

Kiku had never felt so courageous.

Sorry about the cheesy ending, I wondered how to end it because I'm not good at sad and deathly endings. But what do you think to it?

Do you think I should have done something different?
