Gilbert gave a choked sound as they walked through the streets of China. They had arrived there that afternoon and were making their way through the smog filled streets of Beijing towards Yao's house.
"Are you alright brüder?" Germany asked as Gilbert let out another choked cough.
"Yes, it's just that the smog irritates my throat." Prussia replied as he turned back to look at the road.
That morning Prussia had promised to drive after many protests from Romano and a complaint from Ludwig about France and Feliciano's driving skills. Though it turned out to be unneeded as the streets were filled with people and the few cars on the road could barely get by.
"Vee~ we're here!" North Italy shouted cheerily as they arrived at the door of a small, bland, homey looking, purple house.
'What the!?" Romano yelled, "What the heck is a house like this doing in the middle of the city!?"
"Well aru……" A voice said as the door opened, "It wasn't always like this you know aru." The voice chastised as the door opened wider revealing the speaker. The owner of the voice was a short feminine looking man with brown hair in a ponytail and was relatively short.
"Why don't you let them in China-san?" A polite voice called out from inside the house.
"I was going to aru!" The man, China, shouted back as he opened the door all the way and let the group inside.
They were lead through the house, which was made of wooden floors and paper screen doors, (Hey I made a rhyme!) and sat down at a short table in the middle of what seemed to be the kitchen.
"Hello there everyone," The voice from before said as a short young man with brown hair, brown eyes, and wearing a purple kimono stood up and bowed to them.
"Nihon it's horrible!" Feliciano said as he grabbed onto the man and cried into his kimono.
"What is the problem Germany-san?" Japan asked as he patted Italy's head and looked up to Ludwig with a questioning look.
"Yes, tell us aru." China said as he appeared from the kitchen with tea and pork buns for everyone.
"You see my brother here," Ludwig said as he gestured towards the former country of Prussia," Has lost all of his memories and we were wondering if you could help us out in any way." Germany said as he turned back towards the Asian countries.
"I am sorry Ludwig-san but there is nothing I can do about that….." Japan said with a sorry look towards the German.
"Well I have an idea aru!" China exclaimed as he excitedly ran into some mysterious room of the house, leaving the group alone to chat.
"Ummm….. Japan" Gilbert said uneasily as he looked towards the young man with a confused expression on his face.
"Please just call me Kiku Gilbert-san." He replied as he gave a small smile to the Prussian." What is the matter?" He asked upon seeing his confused expression.
"I was wondering if you had noticed that there were a few people who just popped out of the bushes." Prussia said as he wearily looked out the window.
"Oh, do not worry about them; they are just some of my fan girls." Kiku replied as he looked out the window and gave a little wave causing tiny hearts to float above the bushes.
"Fan girls?" Gilbert asked as he watched the strange actions that were going on.
"Yes, they are girls who are in love with a well known person you yourself have many Prussia-san." Kiku said as he turned back towards them, "In fact there are a group of them following you right now." Japan said as he glanced out another window to the right.
"Told ya he's a ninja," Spain whispered to France as France slipped him a 50 dollar bill and gave a surprised look.
"That's odd……." Prussia replied not exactly sure how to respond to the statement from before when China came rushing with a weird paper looking thing.
"What's with the paper thing?" Lovino asked as he stared at the thing in Yao's hands while the man started writing on it.
"This is a magical paper I got from England and it lets you write letters to anyone dead or alive and they can reply aru." China said as sat up, seeming satisfied with his work. "So I just wrote to Confucius asking him for his wise words aru." China said as he got up and put the paper on the table.
"Are you sure mon ami?" France asked as looked suspiciously at the paper.
"Of course aru!" Snapped China as he turned and gave an angry look at the Frenchman. "Look the writings already disappeared and we're getting a response aru!" China said as he turned back towards the paper and gestured towards it.
"Mein Gott," Ludwig said as they watched a reply form on the paper.
"I will never not believe England-san again." Japan said as he too watched in amazement.
"Now let's see our reply aru." China said as he picked up the paper. "Go to England's house for help he will know a way with his wise faeries and magical friends." He read as he put the paper down and turned towards the group."All the right then off to England you go because what Confucius says must be true aru!" China exclaimed as he led them to the door.
"Good luck with your journey everyone!" Japan shouted as he waved at their disappearing backs and went back in the house to find South Korea sitting there. "What the!?" He yelled surprised, "How did you get here!?" Japan said as China came back in the room.
"What's the problem aru?" Yao asked as he walked into the room and stopped and suddenly gave a shrill yell and ran through the front door at the site of Im Yong Soo.
"Wait China-hyung!" South Korea shouted as he chased Yao out into the streets of the city.
"Im Yong Soo come back here!" Japan yelled as he watched them run through the city streets and gave a sigh, I wonder how the others search is going? He thought as he went back to sipping his tea and sat on the porch over-looking the bamboo thicket that was out of place.
MEANWHILE:
"Hey Ludwig?" Prussia asked as he turned to his brother who was sitting next to him on the plane to England.
"Yes brüder?" Germany replied as he turned to look at the Prussian.
"Do you have any fan girls?" Gilbert innocently asked as he thought back to their time at China's house.
"……………………." Germany just stared blank faced then turned towards the window, an unreadable expression on his face.
Oops! Prussia thought as he saw Ludwig's expression but brushed it off as he saw France and Feliciano both flirting with the very flustered flight attendant and gave a little laugh. To England! He thought as the plane soared through the clouds.
Remember Confucius says: Go read next chapter for England's house
