Matilda: Bienvenue! So, this story is going to end soon, since I've mentioned that Roche only wanted 5 chapters. As usual, she doesn't own Hetalia. It belongs to Hidekaz Himaruya.

The following Chapter is Rated M for extreme violence.

So, without further ado…

Chapter 4: I'll Protect You, No Matter what…

Chun-Yan's POV

"Wow, school today went by really fast," I mumbled to myself as I drew one more detail in my painting. For some reason, I painted a panda bear (which is what I usually do anyway,) holding sunflowers. I thought back to Ivan's love for the flower and I began to blush.

"So, what did you paint?" I yelped in surprise as I turned to see Feliks, who looked like he was painting a pony in a landscape. "Um, a panda with sunflowers…" I replied shyly. I usually never talked to him, but he was fun to hand around with, even if he was a cross dresser.

"Oh, what a cute panda, listen, I've got something to tell you,"

"What is it, aru?"

"Well, I like heard from Eduard, who told Ravis, who told Elizaveta, who told Mathias, who told Tina (fem!Finland), who told her girlfriend Bernice (fem!Sweden) who told my boyfriend Toris and then told me that Natalya is looking for you." I looked at the blonde in confusion.

"Why is she looking for me, aru?"

"Why do you always say 'aru' at the end of your sentences?" Feliks snapped before recollecting himself. "Well, I'm like not sure, but if she's looking for you, I think that calls for trouble." Feliks warned me. Oh great; she found out! But how could she? I mean, the sisters of evil were sick of her rambling that night at the dance, so they wouldn't tell her…but how?

The bell rings signalling the end of the day as I made my way to my locker and retrieve the things I needed for tonight's homework. I thought back to what Feliks said and thought about Natalya. Would she really want to fight? I decided it was best for me to get this over with. I close my locker only to find a note taped onto it.

"Meet me at the back of the school by the dumpsters. We have some business we need to take care of…"

-N.

I sighed as I went to the back of the school and there she was, in all her evil glory. "I'm glad you came…" Natalya gave me an evil smirk as she sauntered towards me. "You said 'we some business to take care of,' right, aru?" I called out as I put my things down. I rolled my head and stretched a bit.

"Well, then, let's finish this, aru!" I ran and did an impressive flip in the air as I kicked her in the stomach hard. I landed on my feet as she began to throw punches my way. I'm glad I still take martial arts in my free time, but I'm slightly rusty after working in the garage for too long.

"Not bad, Wang…" I still hold my fighting stance as she comes at me again, this time I wasn't as prepared as I was punched in the face and thrown backwards into a couple of garbage cans. I shook it off as I flipped again, but she was armed with a knife and I quickly dodged it. I hissed in pain as the knife slashes my arm and I began to bleed.

"This is what you get for stealing your date!" She yells as I continue to dodge her every move. "How did you know, aru?" I questioned as I flipped over her head.

"I overheard Ivan and the cat lover talking about it in art. Now, I can get my revenge!" She lets out a battle cry as roundhouse kicked her and she trips.

"Chun-Yan, what are you doing?" I turned to see my little sister and Matilda, and various other students who have gathered to see the fight. "What does it look like, Sakura, aru?" I asked sarcastically as I avoided another punch. "You can't fight alone! We're coming to help!" Matilda volunteered.

"No, this is my fight. You guys need to stay out of this, aru!" I let out a groan as Natalya punches me in the stomach. I stumble backwards, but I still hold my stance I lunge at her once more.

Ivan's POV

After school, I went to go look for my little sunflower so that I can drop her off at work. I didn't believe Heracles for a minute when he told me it was Chun-Yan under that mask. I shook the thought off as I grabbed my phone and called Katyusha. I live with her and her husband of two years, Lukas and they are now expecting a child. Enough about them though…

"Hello?"

"Hey, it's me. Listen, I'm going to be a little late tonight,"

"Really, How come?" my sister asks.

"Well, I'm taking Chun-Yan on a date,"

"Oh, really, I'm so happy to hear that! You have to tell me what happened, okay?" I roll my eyes at her innocence as I began to chuckle.

"Maybe I will…I just wanted to let you know so that you wouldn't worry,"

"Okay then, I'll see you when you get home…" she hangs up as I do the same. As I walk to my car, I began to hear noises coming from the back of the school. I quickly jog there only to see a crowd of students blocking my view. I spot Sakura and Matilda as I walk towards the group.

"Sakura, what's going on?"

"It's Chun-Yan, she and Natalya are getting into a fight." My eyes widened as I pushed my way through the crowd.

"Out of my way," I yelled as the students began disperse at my presence. I spot Chun-Yan, who liked she had cuts and bruises all over her body, but she looked like she wouldn't give up without a fight.

"Natalya, what the hell are you doing?" I got in between the two girls.

"She deserves it! She was the one you danced with on Saturday. The girl is a whore; a whore I tell you!" Natalya yells angrily.

"How did you know?" I asked. "I overheard you and that cat loving Greek talking about it." Natalya explained. "And now, I'm going to end you, Chun-Yan," she pulls out a knife. "Once and for all!" she lunges at Chun-Yan. I pushed her out of the way and I wince in pain as the knife enters my arm, stabbing and injuring me.

"Kol kol…" I muttered under my breath.

"Ivan, I didn't mean to," Natalya tries to apologize but I just give her an icy glare and she flees.

"Ivan, are you alright?" I hear Chun-Yan's voice call out weakly.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I've had much worse than this, kolkolkol…" I chuckled as I winced once more. "I'm taking you to the hospital, Sakura, Matilda, Daisy, Ludwig and Heracles; I need your help, aru." Chun-Yan firmly told me as she rounded up people to help out.

"What about you?" Sakura questioned. "You need to be looked after too," I protested.

"My wounds aren't as bad as yours, aru…" She retorted. I love how headstrong she is, even in a situation like this one. All I could remember seeing was Chun-Yan's worried face as I began to fall inside the black.

Chun-Yan's POV

I'm pacing the hospital waiting room as I wait to hear if Ivan was going to be okay. "This is my entire fault; I shouldn't have gone to the dance; it only lead me to more trouble, aru…" I silently let my tears shed as both Matilda and Sakura comfort me.

"Where is my brother, is he okay?" I raise my head to see Ivan's older sister and her husband walk into the waiting room.

"We don't know yet," I murmured. She walks up to me and gives me a bear hug, her big breast and equally huge baby bump nearly squashing me to death.

"He'll be okay; I just know it, aru." I told myself just as the doctor walks in.

"Okay, so Ivan is doing well. We stitched up the knife wound and he should be able to leave in two days," The doctor confirmed to us. "So, may we see him now, aru?" The doctor nodded as I ran to the room where Ivan was staying. I peeked in to see him stare out the night sky through the window.

"Ivan, I'm really sorry this happened, aru. I should've been the one who got hurt this badly, not you, aru…" Tears began to fall once more as I hid my face in my hands.

"It's not your fault, my little sunflower. Natalya was going to hurt you, but I wouldn't let that happen, so this wound is the result…" He chuckled before he winced once more.

"I'm sorry you had to miss work and our date…" I see her shake her head. "No, it's alright, aru. I told my boss what had happened and he was okay with it, aru." I smile at her as we sat in silence for a good minute or two.

"So, you found out it was me, didn't you, aru?" She asked.

"Well, I was unsure at first; but after talking to you at the dance; along with Heracles babbling about it and Natalya getting into that fight with you, I knew that it was you. And now, I have my proof because you confirmed it," I began to blush.

"So, how about we rearrange that date for Saturday?" Ivan suggested. I gave him a smile and nodded my head. "Okay, but I thought you said it wasn't a date or anything, aru?" I teased as he began to blush as red as his country's famous borscht.

"I was just teasing," I pecked him on the cheek.

"I'll see you later, some more people wanted to see you anyway," I waved at him and left only to be greeted by everyone who was waiting in the waiting room with us. "You didn't tell us you were going on a date," Sakura teased.

"Well, now you know. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to work." I smiled to myself as I dialled my boss and asked him if I can come for a late shift. He agreed and I asked if I can take Ivan's car to work. Katyusha agreed under one condition that I gave it a tune-up and an oil change for free. I agreed, got the keys and left.

When I got to work, I did the tune-up and oil change as promised. I decided to skip my break since I just got to work and continued to work on some cars.

"Hey good to see you back, Chun-Yan," I turned and smiled at Alfred, who was eating a burger. "So, how was the dance with Matilda?" I asked as I wiped the oil off of my hands.

"It was great; she also told me how you had a crush on me…" I stopped wiping for a second and turned back to him. "Look, I'm flattered and all, but I love Matilda with all my heart. She's the one who makes me smile every day." Alfred admitted.

"It's alright. I'm happy for the both of you. I hope everything goes well!" I smiled at him and got back to work on another car that just came in. I didn't realize it was Francine and Alice until they came out of the car.

"What are you guys doing home early?"

"That doesn't matter, Chun-Yan. You need to come home now," Alice ordered. "But I just got to work," I protested. "Who cares about your silly job? You're not leaving the house until we die!" Francine slapped across the face as Alice did the same. I decided that this was the last straw.

"Aiyah that is it, aru," I mumbled before I finally lost it.

Matilda was right for standing up to you, aru! I'm sick and tired of having to deal with everything from doing your laundry to cleaning the freaking house, aru. I'm a human being, not some alien, aru. I don't deserve this kind of treatment anymore, aru. You two are old enough to deal with all the chores; we shouldn't have to do everything for you." I fumed.

"So, if you want me or Sakura or Matilda home then you can forget it, aru." I stormed out of the garage before coming back, and I'll take my car keys back thank you very much, aru!" I huffed as I walk away beaming with happiness once I give Sakura a call.

Saturday

Ivan's POV

"Are you sure you're going to be okay?" Katyusha asks me as I put on my coat. "Yeah, I'll be alright. The painkillers are working fine, so I shouldn't worry about it for the rest of the night,"

"Okay, but if anything happens give me a call,"

"No, if your water breaks, you and Lukas give me a call," I told her as I went out the door and back to my car. It felt nice to actually start driving after days of rest, but I wanted to see Chun-Yan again. Once I get to her house, I start to feel warm inside. My hands became really clammy as I made my way up to her doorstep.

"Come on Ivan Braginski, you can do this…" I mumbled to myself as I rang the doorbell. "Oh, hey Ivan," Matilda greeted me with a smile and I smiled back to hide the fact that I was still nervous.

"Come on in, Chun-Yan will be down in a minute." I sat myself in the living room as I waited for Chun-Yan, who came down about a few minutes after. I noticed a bunch of boxes surrounding the house and wonder what we're they doing.

"Hey Ivan, are ready to see that movie or are you just going to stand there and stare at me, aru?" Chun-Yan holds out her hand and I take it as we walk hand in hand out of the door. "I'll see you guys later. You guys better be finished packing when I get back." I ordered.

"Oh come on! You're turning into Francine and Alice," Sakura complained. "At least I finished packing my share of things." I replied back. "I was just teasing, aru; I'll help you guys when I get back, aru." I chuckled as we walk to Ivan's car.

"Thanks for the tune-up and oil change. You really didn't have to do that," "It's alright. Besides, your sister wouldn't let me use your car unless I did those two things, aru."

"So, what's with the boxes around the house?" I question her as we near the theater. "Oh, Sakura, Matilda and I are moving out in a few days, aru. We found a nice three bedroom apartment downtown. We're paying the rent using the money I make at the garage, aru.

"What about after you graduate?" I asked as I park the car. "Well, I'm still going to University, and I'm still paying for it with what I make at work." She explains as we get our tickets and our food. While the movie plays and Leatherface starts to kill people, I couldn't help but chuckle throughout the scene.

"I don't get how you find this funny, aru," I heard Chun-Yan mumble as she grips my arm. I know she liked scary movies, like the paranormal stuff that involves ghost and stuff like that but when it came to slasher films, she gets pretty jumpy.

"AIYAH!" she squeaks as Leatherface kills another person. I try my best to comfort her, but I can't help but laugh at the person who got killed. Once the movie is over, Chun-Yan was shaking as we got out.

"I'm never a movie like that ever!" Chun-Yan declared.

"I thought it was funny," I told her truthfully.

"Yeah, I know…" I heard her mutter as I drive her home. Once I get her home, I walk her to the door and she looks at me with a worried look on her face.

"Does it still hurt?" She puts her hand close to the wound but retracts afterwards. I shook my head. "I can't really feel it, but I'm fine. What I'm worried about is you. I mean, you got a cut on your upper arm."

"I know; yet again, mine wasn't as serious. Thanks for taking me, I had fun." "Yeah, you had fun screaming through most of the movie," I received a playful hit on the arm as she pouts. "I'll see you at school," I leaned in to give her peck on the cheek before…

"Oh, just kiss her already!" We both look up to see Sakura and Matilda watching us by Matilda's bedroom window. Chun-Yan glares at them before I surprise her with a kiss. She wraps her arms around my neck as she deepens the kiss before letting go.

"I'll see you at school," she smiles before entering the house.
