Japan stared emotionlessly at China. The older nation was concentrating on his calligraphy. Whenever he made a mistake a Chinese curse would leave his lips. Then he'd cover his mouth and look at Japan sternly saying, "Do not say what I say, aru." Then Japan would nod and the cycle would repeat again.

China, finally, put his brush down. "Japan, I think you should begin to work on your characters now, aru. You are old enough."

Japan nodded, taking a seat next to his brother.

China passed him one of his Chinese character paintings. "Here, aru. Use this."

Japan nodded again. Honestly, he thought that the writing looked a bit difficult. Well… I am Japan. Maybe I shall make my own language. Ah! But then China-san will think I am ungrateful. Japan pondered what to do, staring at the carefully made characters. Oh! I could just use some of them and then make my own, but more simplified. That is a very smart idea. He smiled slightly, picking up a brush.

China grinned at his little brother. "I am going to go make dinner now, all right, aru?"

Japan nodded, not turning away from his work.

China smiled, and left the nation to do his own work.

~*~v~*~

The next day, Japan locked himself in his room, choosing to keep making his language before China was able to see it. I wonder… Will China-san like my language?

~*~v~*~

It was late in the evening when Japan finally emerged from his room, looking tired and hungry, though his eyes were still emotionless. It was more of the bags under his eyes and his growling that gave away the fact he was tired and hungry. He walked into the kitchen, hoping to get just a light snack before going back to add the finishing touches to his language.

China jumped up from his place at the table. "Japan, aru! Why did you lock yourself up? I was so worried!"

Japan jumped at his brother's shouting. Worried that he had made China mad, he gave a low bow. "Sorry."

"Aiyah~ Why are you apologizing, aru? Let's have dinner now, okay?"

Not wanting to worry his brother any more than needed, he agreed. Japan sat across from where his brother had been previously sitting; China had gone to get the food. He wished his brother would just hurry up so that he may get back to his room. He needed to finish what he was doing before the next day.

He sighed. Well, it had to wait now, he thought as China walked in, holding plates of rice, meat, and vegetables.

~*~v~*~

Back in his room, Japan stared at all the scrolls scattered on the floor. He'd finally manage to finish all the characters, how they'd sound, and what they meant in less than 48 hours. He felt proud of himself and hoped that China did too.

~*~v~*~

The next day, Japan gathered all his scrolls and set out to find China. The older boy was in the writing room, already working on his calligraphy.

He turned around when Japan walked in, smiling brightly, "Good morning, Japan, aru! Are you ready for breakfast?"

"Hai. But… China-san—"

Japan was cut off when China leaped forward, grabbing the scrolls. "Ah! So you have finished writing all the characters, aru. Let's see them!"

Japan shifted, nervously as China opened one of the scrolls.

"Zhè dàodǐ shì shénme?"

~*~v~*~

Zhè dàodǐ shì shénme? – What the hell is this?
