Chapter 5:

"So what exactly are we looking for? The egg?" Taiwan asked as she followed Hong Kong around his city. She had been curious about this whole egg business, and upon realizing that her brother would most likely have one she decided to see the egg for herself. Only, from the bits of time she spent with him it seemed Hong Kong had no interest in the idea of an egg.

"Why would I search for an egg?" Hong Kong asked as he aimlessly looked over the merchandise at a kiosk.

"Why wouldn't you? Aren't you the least bit curious about what it might be like?" Taiwan asked exasperated.

"I am. I just don't need to go searching for it all over the place," Hong Kong answered before quickening his pace.

"Hey, wait up!" Taiwan called back as she rushed forward to catch up with him. This, however, only seemed to make Hong Kong walk faster until he rushed into a narrow alley and lost her. Once he was certain that she went past, he began once again on his way towards his house.

Once reaching his house, he carefully climbed up to the top of his roof and to a sheltered ledge. There he peered into the little bed he had made a couple of days earlier to find two bright eyes stare back at him.

"You sure you don't want to stay inside?" Hong Kong quietly asked the creature as he reached over to pick it up. He had just gotten hold of it when he heard Taiwan yell out, "Hong Kong! What are you doing hanging from there?!"

The surprise was enough for Hong Kong to lose his balance and fall from the ledge; only to land on a lower roof and slide from that to the ground. After seeing all of this, Taiwan rushed towards her brother and asked if he was alright.

"Ya, just next time think before you start yelling," Hong Kong answered as he checked himself for any serious injuries. Once certain that he was alright, he looked down to his hand to see if his creature was alright. Taiwan also looked at the hand and gasped at what she saw.

Hong Kong was holding onto a little humanoid creature, roughly a tall as his hand was long, with large, pointed ears, and wildly spiked, black hair. He was dressed in what looked like miniature versions of Hong Kong's favorite clothes; which Taiwan found adorable on the creature. At last the creature looked up at the two nations, and upon seeing the new face of Taiwan his dark eyes sparked.

"He's so cute! So then you weren't looking for the egg 'cause you already found it!" Taiwan replied happily. She then thought some more about it and asked, "But why were you hiding him from me? And making him sleep in your roof?"

"He likes the roof and gets scared of strangers; so you may want to step back," Hong Kong answered as he placed the creature down; only to then push Taiwan out of the way as the little boy made a bit of lightning appear.

"What was that?!" Taiwan asked shocked as she stared at the now slightly burned trunk of a tree.

"Remember how that Pyry one Finland got made it snow? Well, he makes lightning," Hong Kong answered as he walked back to the child and scolded him slightly for trying to electrocute their guest. In response to this the child pouted and looked back at Taiwan; his eyes still sparking dangerously.

Suddenly seeing danger in this, Taiwan tentatively walked closer to Hong Kong and asked, "Are you sure it's alright for you to keep something so dangerous?"

"He's alright. He's just, I guess, over-protective of himself and me," Hong Kong answered as he placed the suddenly happy boy onto his shoulder. The child giggled as he felt a wisp of wind blow at him, and Taiwan could not help but notice a bit of electricity course through that spiky hair.

"If he's not dangerous than why are you keeping him outside on your roof?" Taiwan asked.

"Because he likes heights and is still learning to control his abilities. But he has gotten better, since he didn't zap me when we fell. Now since you two have met, would you, like, want to come in for tea?" Hong Kong answered than asked.

Taiwan mutely nodded and followed Hong Kong to the living room where he gently placed the child on a chair then headed towards his kitchen. as she and the child waited for the homeowner to return, they simply stared at each other as if deciding if the other was an actual fret or not. After several minutes of awkward waiting, Hong Kong returned with the tea and some snacks; much to the child's pleasure.

"So I'm assuming you haven't told anyone about him yet," Taiwan commented as she watched the child practically inhale a cookie crumb almost the size of his head.

"No, I was, like, waiting for him to get better control. After all, if I told someone, then China or someone would hear and demand to see him and probably get shocked. Then they'd say he can't stay here and shock them again," Hong Kong answered bluntly.

"Somehow that sounds almost funny. Maybe you should tell China or somebody and test that out," Taiwan answered with a slight grin.

"You first."

"But in all honesty, you really should tell the others. From what I heard the others trying to discover what they are aren't having much luck and he might be able to help that."

"I kind of doubt that, he's not very good at helping people," Hong kong answered, only to then wipe a few minute crumbs from the child.

"You're acting like you're his big bother," Taiwan commented with a smile.

"Well, since he's here I guess that makes me his caretaker...so why not be his big brother?"

"Have you named him like the others yet?"

"Ya, I thought of a name for him. I guess I couldn't just call him nothing."

"So what is it?"

"Shandian."

And so continues the setting up-hoping to get into more of a plot soon

As a note: shandian is chinese for lightning (or at least that's what google told me)

as always, please review~
