I guess I haven't updated as fast as I thought I would sorry.
Just some things I wanted to clear up.
KeaiXiongmao: Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I only used Japanese words becuase Hetalia is, ya know, Japanese. xD
:IloveMark: Yes it means 'yes', :P. In Hetalia Archives is says that "Russia ends many of his sentences with 'da', the Russian word for 'yes', although in Japanese it is often used to confirm the topic of the sentence, as an informal form of 'desu', the ubiquitous form of 'to be'."
And everyone else who called Belarus a bitch...thanks. O-O
Russia POV
It was already crowded in New York, though it was barely morning. I thought of what I told Belarus, and how treated her. I felt a pang of guilt.
"There is no way you'll beat me Nii-san," She said. She came from behind and whispered in my ear, "You better hurry..or else,"
Or else? Or else what? I thought confused. It wasn't like she would hurt China...
I squeezed my eyes shut. Of course she would. I was an idiot. And here I was in euphoria while he suffered. Belarus probably would be done hurting him by now. I shivered unpleasantly.
I hurried to the meeting room, not bothering to check in. The receptionist glanced at me, writing my name for me, going back to her magazine.
I flung open the wide doors, my eyes falling to China's seat. It was empty. Empty.
"China!" I asked. The whole meeting stopped, as many people gave me annoyed glances.
"Ah..Nii-san...China couldn't..make it," Belarus smirked, standing up.
"But China was here..wasn't he Japan?" Vietnam murmured, staring at China's empty seat. Japan nodded. They didn't really take it to notice when China left.
"What did you do korukoru?" I asked. Everyone flinched except for her.
"Nothing.." She said innocently. She eyed the red roses, her temper flared, "Nothing I shouldn't have done," She added.
China POV
I saw Russia back away from door, throwing the flowers in my direction in anger, still bickering with his sister. Surprisingly, it hitting my face. He had a good aim without realizing it. I turned to the flowers. They were red roses. I got to my knees, hesitantly, reaching for the.
She didn't say anything about his stuff aru, one whiff won't hurt. Touching it won't cost me aru.
I grasped the metallic paper it was wrapped in, pulling them closer.. I heard the door slam as I froze. I turned around to see Russia banged his head on the door, sinking to the ground. I let go of them immediately, pressing myself to the wall, wishing I was invisible. I threw the flowers closer to him while he wasn't looking. He turned when he heard the soft thump. He eagerly reached for them, peering into the darkness. I closed my eyes, hoping he would get up and go.
"China, I always find you in the weirdest places," Russia said brightly, "So you did decide to skip the meeting huh? I will to then da.." He walked closer to me. I closed my eyes. Just go, I mentally told him. I'm in more pain then necessary.
"Y-yao..." He said brokenly, gasping, looking at me. My white dress shirt was not torn or anything, so most of the bruises were hidden. The blood trickling out of my cut was not. He scooted to me, his eyes wide.
'No' I mouthed in protest.
His hand shakily reached out towards me, "I-is that you Y-yao?" He trembled. I nodded, backing away. He didn't recognize me...what did I look like?
I didn't deserve his touch.
"Wh-what happened dah? Say something!" He tried grabbing me, but I backed away too fast for him as he grasped air.
"Russia a-aru," I said, then clamped my hand over my mouth. I can't talk to him. I don't deserve to. Belarus might hurt me again.
"Y-yes da?" He reached out towards me, again.
I opened my mouth wordlessly, wishing I could say something. He grabbed my shoulders hesitantly, dragging me closer to him. He wrapped his arms around me, my face in his chest, his cheek resting on the top of my head. He could touch me. I just couldn't touch him.
Fuck that.
I bet Belarus fucked up the way I thought too.
I bought my arms up, wrapping around hims waist, holding him tighter then I ever had, wishing that would keep him in my arms forever.
"I-it hurts aru.." I mumbled in his chest, giving violent jerks as I sobbed. I was overreacting. I was acting dramatically and like a girl. Who cared?
"I-I-I'm sorry da," He whispered, stroking my hair gently. I closed my eyes, enjoying it. He tilted my face up, leaning in so our foreheads met.
"Are you hurt? Ph-physically?" He asked specifically. I shrugged, that was whatever. Inside was worse...but he couldn't fix that. He lifted me off bridal style, cradling me.
"I can't see here," He he explained, for the hallway was to dark. Russia-san kicked open the small office room.
He turned on the light, then placed me gently on the desk. I looked down at myself. My white dress shirt had splotches of blood on my arm. He grabbed me roughly, staring into my eyes.
"Wh-what happened?"
"I paid for my wrong doings..by a girl," I laughed once humorlessly.
"How come you let her hurt you! You should've done something da!...I'm going to kill her," He said murderously.
"First of all, I deserve it, Second, I don't care what she did, and third. You hurt me worse than she did and I don't see you killing yourself aru," I shot back, not sure why I was protecting her.
"You wouldn't allow it. Believe me I would da," He looked at me tenderly. I couldn't argue.
"L-lets see where you got hurt," He started to unbutton it.
"Hey!" I protested, grabbing his wrists, blushing, "What are you doing aru?" I asked, nervous.
He looked confused, "Checking your bruises.."
"I can do that myself aru! and they aren't that big of a dea-"
"Or does Yao-yao not want me to see him shirtless da?" He replied playfully.
"Of course! Wh-what if you see something you don't like aru?" I countered frantically. He chuckled, awkwardly, taking a step back.
"W-we aren't having sex or anything Yao.." He reasoned. I flushed.
"R-right aru," I slipped off my dress shirt slightly. I heard his breath hitch. I looked away, blushing deeper.
"I-I could have stopped this da," He brushed a hand over my bruises on my collar bone. Those would heal easily. She didn't hurt me that bad.
Russia unbuttoned more, revealing a few more bruises, and I reached out immediately to stop him, biting my lip.
"Yao," He said firmly. I shook my head. It was too weird and i thought wrong. We met each others eyes.
Just then the door decided to bust open, spilling in the usual. My family, the allies, Bela, Ukraine. I sighed, looking away.
I think they all got the wrong picture. Japan immediately turned around, clamping his hand around his nose. France gave that look, as America and England looked at us, there eyes wide. My family was...in shock. Tawain took a step behind Hong Kong. But Bela was there, glaring at my icily. I looked down, ashamed.
"Wh-what.." Korea was lost for words. I immediately pushed Russia back, whispering, 'I told you aru'.
His eyes were on Belarus.
"What are you doing?" Vietnam said in wonder.
"W-well.." I tried explain, trying to break Russia-san's hold on me.
"No da! You can't move, you-"
"Again." Korea said, so loudly that it droned out everyone else. It was silent, "You hurt Aniki again. I bet if we didn't come here you would have probably raped him by now!" Korea was quivering. My family gasped, getting a good look at me. Murmurs rippled.
Suddenly I saw what they were seeing. Russia unbuttoning my shirt. Exposed bruises. Aiyaa...
I suddenly held Russia-san's forearms, a bit too tightly.
Russia-san was still looking at his sister, concerned and a bit frantic, ignoring what Korea said. Belarus eyes watered.
"NII-SAN!" She screamed out. Russia flinched, "I-I thought...how could you Nii-san?" She asked, her expression was grieved. She suddenly ran out of the room.
"Bela da!" He said, turning away from me, ready to follow her. I could feel my hands tighten its grip, I didn't want Russia to leave me. Russia pulling away from me, giving me a pissed off look. It happened in half a second.
"I-Ivan..." I whispered to myself.
"Wait da!" He yelled, pushing everyone. He left me...when I really needed him. I didn't have answers they wanted. A violent cold shiver ran through my core.
"China..." everyone murmured, reaching toward me.
"Someone move him...the place is so tiny..."
"Look at all those bruises..."
"Russia hurt him bad..."
I refuse to budge. I was not leaving this room till Russia came. I felt myself getting carried, getting ignored as I weakly protested. I was in the meeting room, huge, with everyone there. Many nations I didn't mingle with left. America apologized, and asked them to leave. Germany and Italy left too, along with most of the European countries.
The Allies stayed though. As well as the Baltics and Ukraine. Japan had a tissue, pinching his nose. My family stayed.
I heard everyone whispering to me quietly, asking for what happened. I answered, not sure what I was saying.
"I dunno...I asked him who did it and he said 'rice'..." America told England confused.
I smiled at my stupidity. Russia would have laughed. I sighed, staring at the floor. My mind wandered to the time I painted to sunflowers, or when Russia and I sat side by side, close together in my hiding place. I closed my eyes, not wanting to fall asleep, not wanting to be awake.
Russia POV
I ran through the halls, following my sister. We ended up in a garden, part of the huge building. She sat down on a bench, facing a fountain, shaking. I came up behind her.
"Bela?" I asked, placing a hand on her shoulder. She flinched.
"It's okay Nii-san...go h-help that fa- China," She looked away, sneering.
"You're my sister da...China is..."
"Only the one person you love..." She glared at the fountain coldly.
"No h-he is not! Be-" I tried to reason with her.
"Am I not good enough Nii-san? I love you more than anything else in the world, is that bad?" She looked up, her face streaked with tears. My eyes widened. Bela never acting like this. She was acting cute, innocent, like a sister. Though the situation was very un-sisterly like.
"I do love you da...but only-"
"Like a sister I know Nii-san," She said softly. I sat down next to her, wrapping my arms around her in comfort. I was a heart breaker.
I nodded, "Why don't you understand da? I don't want to marry you?" I said, not sure how else to put it.
"W-well, even if we weren't related you wouldn't love me that way," Her eyes narrowed.
"B-because I love China da," I explained. If she wasn't my sister, I would probably stay away from her, I thought guiltily.
Bela looked up at the sky, "W-well...first..you were with America...then...China...so I thought if you mess up with China...you would pick me..." She looked upset, admitting this out loud. Her tears fell freely now, she didn't look like she cared.
I waited, unsure what to say.
"I made you miss this meeting, hoping you would forget China...and...love me...I wore white in case we were going to get married today," She laughed, at her stupidity. Now that I noticed, she was wearing a pure white bow and white dress. I shuddered.
"I-I'm the one who hurt China...I don't know what I was thinking...but he is weak...pathetic Nii-san," She lifted a finger up, to stop my protests, "B-but..it wasn't your little sister who thought that. It was a monster Nii-san. And I agreed with the monster. China wasn't weak and pathetic. I convinced him somehow that he deserved it, and made him give in,"
I felt confused. Monster? What monster? Was she saying- oh. It was purely anger. An irrational outburst of anger which made her hurt China.
She shivered. I looked down, angry, "But you still hate him," I pointed out.
"I don't hate him Nii-san...I used to," She rested her head on my shoulder.
"B-but you hurt him so much da! You..you..."
"If I recall, you were the one who caused it, you are the one that made him cry everyday and night, you are the one he wants but deludes himself into thinking he can't. The last thing may or may not be true..considering its your decision," She flicked a glance at me. Every word she said pierced me. Was this what China felt everyday? How come I was the only one who doesn't know.
"How come I'm the one who never understands him da?" I have growled upset.
"Because you are blind, anyone can see how much pain you put him through. Even America," She snapped back.
"B-but...I wasn't talking about that...I was talking about...what happened today da," I trembled, trying to make it seem like it wasn't my fault. Pushing those thoughts aside, to deal with later.
"Fine then, Nii-san, tell me something. When you ran out and followed me, did China still need you? Did he try stopping you? At all?" She looked at me waiting.
"Of course not China-" I stopped abruptly. He did. He whispered my first name. He gripped me tighter, knowing Bela was going to leave and that I was probably going to follow.
"But noo...you leave him alone, with people who had questions, and wanted answers he didn't want to give..." She concluded.
"W-who's side are you on?" I trembled.
"Yours, always yours. Even if I love someone else...just know I love you the most," She smiled.
"R-really? It seems like its China's..."
"Oh...you mean that..." Her eyes darkened momentarily, "You hurt China...and China didn't do anything Nii-san, he has my empathy,"
"Are you saying..."
"That I don't want to marry you?" She smiled. I nodded once.
"Of course I do. I just...w-want you to be happy. I'll learn to let go...and find someone else.." She smiled looking back up again. It was silent for a few minutes.
"Have I confused you?" She tilted her head to the downward, staring into my eyes. I nodded. She sighed.
"W-well...lets just say...all I want now is for you to be happy..and I'll try acting like a sister," Fresh tears welled up in her eyes. I cupped her face.
"Thanks da," I kissed her forehead.
She stood up, "Now...to make amends," She left quickly, before I could comprehend what she meant.
YAY! Belarus isn't as much of a bitch anymore. I tried to interlace Belarus's personality with a happy ending for herself. Because, I like her this story will have a happy ending .
Anyway hope you like the story and please review.
