So my computer has been very glitchy, so my father decided he would "fix" it so now my computer has more bugs than before and he got rid of both firefox and google chrome making it so that I only have internet explorer. I can't say at this point how fast I'll be updating.

Also before I get any negative reviews about the yaoi in this chapter, don't forget the note earlier that specifically warned you about it.

-Chapter 2-

Japan sighed, it had been nearly two months since he last saw Germany. He had packed his bags was on a plane to Germany where he would meet up with Prussia at the airport. All of this has been incredibly stressful for Japan, Italy and Prussia. This was not only for the emotional level for having Germany forget them but also with work load, they couldn't have Germany work as he normally would for the fact that someone could trick him into signing something that would send his country into debt or even enslave him. Prussia and Japan were taking on the majority of the work, but Japan was the one who had to go to the world meetings and try to sort things out. Italy would try his best to help but he's never been very good with his own work.

Japan had been very worried about Italy, Prussia had slapped him so hard that his face was still red when they came to visit Germany the next day. Prussia held Itally personally responsible for Germany's memory loss, Japan was able to keep things from getting worse when those two confronted each other last time but he had no idea what may have happened when he went home. He had just found that Italy was staying at Germany's place with Prussia and had been there for the whole month, and though the fact that Italy was still there and hadn't run away was somewhat comforting Japan still felt uneasy about it. However the fact that there could be violence in that house disturbs him deeply, if Prussia were to snap again at Italy but with Germany in the room he could trigger some bad memories. And if Germany remembered war memories and violent memories before happy ones, it could be too much for him.

?

Another problem was that Italy didn't even try to defend himself from Prussia, he didn't back away or anything when he was slapped. He didn't whine or anything, he just mumbled "I'm sorry...I'm so sorry..." over and over. It really worried Japan, but the next day Italy was all smiles. Though Japan was an expert when it came to these thing so he knew that they were all fake, he was pretty sure that Italy was just trying to prevent worrying anyone. Which only served to make Japan even more worried for his Italian friend.

The plane landed, making Japan snap out of his thoughts. After patiently waiting for many others to board off before him purely so that he could avoid any sort of confrontation he boarded off the plane and found Gilbert, he was wearing more casual clothes than his usual uniform. With Gilbird on his shoulder he was holding a large sign that said in big letters "Wercome to Germany!" making fun of his accent, which though Japan didn't say anything he did find offensive. Prussia though was smiling sounded a little annoyed after welcoming him "What took you so long?! You knew that the awesome would be waiting!" Japan simply apologized not wanting to have any conflict. And fortunately that was enough to smooth over Prussia's temper and get him back to the same energetic Prussia Japan knew.

Prussia's car was surprisingly a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, which was much higher quality than he thought Germany would allow Prussia to drive around considering many times he's been in trouble he's gotten in for drunk driving. Japan then remembered that Prussia no longer had Germany pushing him around, or at least not for a little while until he remembers things more clearly. Japan got into the car and put on his seat belt, and by instinct inspected it to make sure it could really protect him from any accidents. He noticed the Prussia seemed a little on edge as well, it seemed to get worse the closer they got their destination. "Mister Prussia? Are you okay?" Prussia wiped his head to Japan whose heart stopped by the fact he wasn't looking at the road, "I'm just fine." he shakily answered.

Prussia turned his head back to the road and Japan decided to stay quiet until they got to his house. He watched as Prussia got more fidgety, and then recalled something Germany had told him when he still had his memory. Prussia isn't very good at keeping secrets, if he has to keep any then he gets very nervous and suspicious. Germany had said when Japan was asking about having him spy on the allies, if this is what he meant though then what could Prussia be hiding from him? The car came to a sudden stop, scaring Japan for a moment. He opened up the car door allowing himself to see Germany's large house, which he hadn't visited in over two months. Italy was standing at the front step smiling and waving, he didn't look hurt or really different. Which gave Japan an enormous relief.

Japan walked over to his happy go lucky friend who promptly welcomed him "Hey Kiku! Remember you have to call me by my human name and not my title! Anyways I'm so happy you're here! We've been having so much fun and it made me sad that you weren't there! Vee~" Italy's voice rang. "I'm happy to be here as well. Where is Ger- I mean Ludwig?" Japan corrected himself, a bit embarrassed that even though Italy had just reminded him he still fumbled with his words. "I think he's in the basement right now. Vee~" Italy sang, completely oblivious to Prussia who was making an x with his arms in attempt to stop Italy. Japan who noticed the signal that was intended for Italy felt goose bumps. Why does Prussia not want me to see Germany? Japan thought as he continued as though he hadn't noticed "May I go see him?" "Of course! You know the way right? Vee~" "Hai." Japan responded quickly, not wanting to waste any time.

Japan quickly walked past Italy who was getting stared down by Prussia. Japan looked around for a moment when he entered the house, he hadn't been to the basement many times since that was where Prussia would normally be. He was able to hear some of Prussia's and Italy's conversation as he looked around trying to refresh memory, "You idiot! I didn't explain anything to him while I was driving him here!" a voice the Japan assumed was Prussia yelled. "Yes but Japan is very understanding, if we just explain I'm sure everything will be fine. Vee~" Italy sang, which only made Japan more panicked on the inside. Is Germany okay?

Japan wondered as he opened the door to the basement, he braced himself for whatever he was about to encounter. He opened the door and tried to walk down the steps in a normal pace to keep himself from tripping, "Ludwig?" Japan asked unsure if Germany was even there. "...Kiku?" The voice that belonged to his friend sounded so different. He didn't sound like the strong one that could make the world meeting go silent, or the nation that fought many wars. He sounded far more weak and fearful. Japan turned his head to Germany who was laying down in Prussia's bed. Japan walked to the bed more than a little shocked about what Germany looked like at the moment. His hair wasn't slicked back, but it was his outfit that dumbfounded Japan. He was in a t-shirt and skinny jeans with a frilly and lacy apron that wasn't very clean, which contrasted with the room that seem to be so clean the floors actually sparkled.

Japan didn't say anything, he just stared as he tried to register Germany in an apron. "I missed you, friend." Germany said, though he didn't move from his spot as he spoke and avoided eye contact. "I was scared I might forget you." Japan felt saddened by Germany's words and slowly join Germany on the bed. He sat on Germany's bed looking at the ground trying to let this sink in without alarming Germany. "S-so Ludwig, have you remembered anything?" Japan asked innocently, unaware of how much weight those words held for Ludwig. Germany put his arm over his eyes before speaking "N-No..." Japan looked over at Germany who looked so broken. "Both Gilbert and Feliciano have been trying so hard to help me remember things but I still haven't naturally remembered anything."

"...What have they done to help?" Japan asked hesitantly. Even though the doctor told them not to they were nice enough to tell me things about myself. Feliciano told me about how much I loved pasta and how it was my favorite meal. He also told me about how I used to love all animals, especially kitties. Gilbert was the first one though to give in and tell me things about myself. He told me about how he lets me stay in his basement, and how it's my job to clean the house. And though it may not sound like the most exciting life to you I can't help but feel awful for not remembering anything." though Germany's arm covered his eyes the tears still rolled down his cheeks.

Japan knew Italy and Prussia didn't have bad intentions but this sight disgusted him. They had played with his emotions, like it was nothing. Japan took a deep breath before doing something that he hated, he hugged Germany. "It's okay. You can let it all out." Japan said as he started blushing. Germany moved his arm allowing Japan to see his tear stained eyes. "I-It's just I've been trying so hard but nothing's happening. I have been eating pasta as often as I can, I try to see Pookie when I can, and I am constantly doing whatever Prussia tells me to do but I haven't remembered anything!" Germany sobbed. "Everything is going to be okay." Japan soothed. Germany looked at Japan and hugged him back. He quietly sobbed as he hugged Japan tightly.

Japan hugged Germany as uncomfortable as it made him until Germany's sobs stopped. Japan started to push away from Germany making Germany look at him with confusion "...Y-you're leaving?" Germany meekly squeaked in a voice barely louder than a whisper. Japan looked sympathetically at his friend, "Only for a moment. I promise I will come back to you." Germany's hug tightened before releasing him. Japan then sat up and pushed himself off the bed. He marched up the stairs as the emotions he worked so hard for so long to keep in check rumbled. He opened the door and could faintly hear voices coming from the living room.

What Japan did next he isn't proud of. He let his emotions break through at that moment. He stormed into the living room as he hands turned into fists. "Oh Japan, you were in there for a while. I know that seeing my brother like that must have been shocking. We decided to have some fun with h-" Japan didn't have the patience at the time to even let Prussia finish what he was saying before throwing a punch at him. Prussia immediately covered his then split lip and looked at Japan with surprise, "He's your family! How could you play with his emotions like that?!" Japan barked at Prussia. "B-but it was the best way for us to deal with this-" Italy started before being interrupted by Japan, "Shut up! That's selfish and awful! I'm more disappointed than angry with you Italy. You thought about the best way for you deal with this? Did you even think about what was the best way for him to deal with this?! He's the one suffering!"

The room was silent for a moment as Japan kept himself from attacking the now guilty feeling Italy and Prussia. "I'm taking him with me." Japan stated, making both Italy look at him wondering what he meant. "I'm taking Germany with me back to my country." Japan clarified. "Hey! You can't just take my brothe-" Prussia yelled before Japan cut him off, "Yes I can, and I will." Japan said firmly. Italy grabbed Japan's shoulder "B-but Japan... We can make this right, please-" Japan slapped Italy's hand so hard it made a loud noise that made Prussia flinch "The fact that you would do that to someone who trusted you so much...disgusts me." Japan growled before storming into the hallway and to the door leading to the basement.

Japan took a deep breath in attempt to calm himself before going down the steps, he didn't want to let Germany see him like this. Japan looked at Germany who was now sitting up and looking at him, he looked confused which was understandable. Japan grabbed Germany's hand and dragged him up the stairs and through the front door. Germany looked at Japan puzzled as he called a taxi, his breaths were loud and uneven which worried Germany a lot. "Where are we going?" Germany asked out of his confusion. Japan turned his head to him and just stared as his breaths started to get quieter. Japan smiled at his friend. "We're going to see the cherry blossom trees."

Sorry to those who don't like yaoi or that ship, but I just find this so cute. Also if you don't mind please leave a review on saying if I should make Japan x Germany a main focus or keep it to these cute scenes.
