Disclaimer" I DONT OWN IT...JUST THIS STORY AND MY IMAGINATION TROLOLOLOL!

"Hey, hey! Do you remember that stuffed animal that we saw in the store last week? The one with the pink bow and no mouth; I heard that you, Japan made it! But we all know that it originated in Korea!" The man laughed loudly and obnoxiously. The person he was speaking to was a quiet man. He had straight black hair in a bowl cut. Pale skin with large black eyes and was a head shorter than the man. His name was Japan, or better known from his real name Kiku Honda.

He sighed at the man in front of him. He always claimed probably everything in Koreas name; he even claimed his breast for Korea! That was one thing he certainly didn't want to remember. Japan looked at the man in front of him with dull eyes," I beg your pardon Korea but I didn't make it. It was the country that I was born in that made the 'Hello Kitty' products."

Said man named Korea had a confused look for a second before bouncing up and down excitedly," So you didn't make it but your country did! That gives it all the more reason that it originated in-"

"Shut up Korea." A monotone voice cut off the bubbly Korean. Both men looked in direction of the unchanged voice. There stood one of their group members, Hong Kong or Wang Jia Long. He was 'short' to say, but he was a good enough height to be able to ride on roller coasters. He was currently wearing his normal attire consisting of a deep burgundy duangue with gold edging, some black pants and black slipper shoes; he was also carrying a small panda bear in his arms that was munching on a bamboo stick.

Korea puffed up his cheeks and crossed his arms hotly," Your no fun Hong Kong. No wonder people say that they feel like their always talking to a rock. It's also no wonder that Taiw-!" A conspicuous curl sticking out of the man's head, claiming it was his soul was suddenly pulled. He closed his mouth immediately; a light blush sprinkled his cheeks and little crocodile tears forming in the corners of his eyes.

"Come on Hong Kong! Let go already! I'll die if you don't. My soul will vanish and so will the country Korea along with it! I originated from there!" Korea suddenly got a cocky expression," If you do then Taiwan will never li-"

"Finish that sentence and I'll break both your legs and arms." His face darkened as a menacing aura circled around him. Korea shrieked and somehow got out of Hong Kong's hold. He ran behind a highly uncomfortable Japan,' Only Korea can annoy Hong Kong enough for him to show any emotion. It was like the time when he, only God knows how, got Hong Kong drunk and made him cry.'

Japan cleared his throat, "Ano, Hong Kong, can you please calm down before you burst a vein. We're three hours away from the nearest hospital and I don't think you or Korea will be able to make it if you do actually break his limbs." Japan tried to keep his oh so well practiced poker face as he tried to calm down his nerves. He knew Hong Kong could do more than break limbs, much more. He was trained by HIM of all people; he didn't want to take any chances even with his sword skills.

"I don't think I want to. This man needs to die by my hands." Though sadly, Hong Kong couldn't fulfill this action when the door was suddenly opened. Out from behind the large door, a girl with long brown wavy hair with a strand of hair sticking out popped into the room with a skip. The girl was wearing a gold trimmed peach qipao with a long with skirt and peach pink-ish slippers. Her hair also had a pink flower clip in it. It was the one and only, Taiwan or by real name Xiao Mei.

The intense atmosphere vanished and Hong Kong's serious mask was back in place. The girl walked closer to the group of men and greeted everyone and bravely asked what had happened.

"So, what's going on? I heard some screaming coming from here." All the men looked at each other from the corners of their eyes. Looking at each other sheepishly, well expect Hong Kong of course. But with one look from the short man told death was coming if they told what had happened. Korea toke this chance to cover up the current events and his ass.

"N-Nothing happened! We were just um…playing a game! And it involved a lot of screaming to play! As always, it originated in Korea~!" The girl narrowed her eyes, not buying much of the idea at all. Japan decided to help his Korean friend.

"It's a game in which you have to do anything to make the other player to show emotion. Korea was the one screaming. He was trying to make Hong Kong show emotion by trying to scare him." The explanation seemed believable to the girl. She gave a curt nod and turned to the last man in question.

"Is it true that they were playing a game with you?" Hong Kong stayed silent for a while before he gave an answer.

"Hn. Yes they were. They lost though." And with that he went towards the much forgotten table and sat down in one of the plushy swivel chairs placed for them. The others sighed and took a look at the large yellow clock on the cream colored wall. It read 10:58 am; it was almost time for the meeting they were called to hear. They walked to the large oval table and sat down in their assigned seats. They all started to chat about the day and small simple things they'll forget by the end of the conversation. Suddenly the door opened after the Japanese man had commented on a new camera he had bought and pictures that were mailed to the other girl across him. The all looked towards the flung opened door sweat dropped at the sight. There stood panting, was Vietnam or Lin Yi Ling*. Her bright green ao dai was rumpled at the collar and her white pants were a bit raised. Her straight brown hair was in a low messy pony tail and her honey brown eyes looked at them shyly at her loud entrance.

"Ah, Vietnam! You're here. Where have you've been, I thought you were going to miss the meeting!" The brown haired girl went and got up to hug the other who returned it friendly. They both sat down at the table and were brought into an interesting conversation about photos. They boys all stayed silent while the girls chatted away until the last person came in. The room silenced as a man came in through the door with grace. He slowly approached the table and sat in the chair at the head of the table. He crossed intertwined his hands and rested his chin on them. His long brown hair was tied in a low pony tail and his light brown eyes looking at each of the others eyes, each giving a similar reaction of being nervous. He smirked silently as he cleared his throat and attracted the attention of the occupants in the room.

"Thank you for taking time out of your day and attend the meet; even if you didn't choice, aru." The man was dressed in a full black suit* that had a white cuffs and a white undershirt with a black tie. He would remind anyone of a FBI agent or mafia leader; not that it wasn't true… it was partially right. But none of that, the truth will come sooner or later. The man was called China as a code name of sorts; his real name was Yao Wang. He grabbed a small remote to his right and clicked a button that turned on a screen parallel of him. It slowly began to light up to a normal screen of a computer.

"I hope you know what today is about, aru. We'll be focusing on England's or Arthur Kirkland's company today and their relations." He opened a program on the screen and a file. "As you know, Kirkland Inc. is a worldwide enterprise, aru. Meaning, they make, assemble, and produce products from children's hair ties to official military artillery. But they also do run an underground system. Mostly that system deals with drugs, gambling or casinos and all the average doings, aru."

During the whole explanation, Japan toke notes of the information given and Korea doodled and copied whatever Japan had written. Both girls did the same as Japan and shared comments about the company. Hong Kong remained silent through the whole thing. The whole meeting droned on about the business and contacts to other companies. That was until the whole topic changed from business to sabotage.

"One of the closest industries to it would be Usagi Corp., aru. The corporation is mostly a back up and piggy back for England. Say if somehow they go bankrupt, they'll just take a loan from the, and start over. They'll even take over the whole company and start from scratch. But what if Usagi Corp. goes downhill, aru? Part of his business will also take a blow from the loss. Mostly his financial and human resources will go down." China looked around the table and continued," This is the part where we come in, aru. I only have a vague vision of this but I could build of it as we go. I was thinking of first freezing the banks of Usagi Corp. and then aiming to gather information from Kirkland Inc. by sending in a spy to work for them for a time and getting close to Kirkland himself if possible. And if that doesn't work, then I'll tweak some plans or changes in the industry of Kirkland Inc. and ruin it from the inside out."

It was a good overall plan to do; it just had some kinks and errors in It. You see, Kirkland Inc. isn't like other companies. The keep all information kept tight in a safe where file cabinets are located; only England himself is only able to access. He even went as far as getting as finger print identification pad to unlock the safe. So getting information is impossible to find. Even if they did make Usagi Corp. go downhill and mess with changes the head company did, it would take some time and money. All the companies that work with England all go through a certain system. This system would literally go through all the departments in each company and must be certified by the boss or CEO. The document that would be sent out would have about 10 copies if someone were to change the original document. The company, practically everyone knew had a troubled history with corruption with many alliances and treaties with other businesses. So I they ever wanted to get info or mess things, they'll need quite a large amount of money to bride someone.

The room went silent as they all knew this exact information; they were ones who got it. But they'll just have to build off the basic idea before actually going into action. Though they didn't dwell on the fact much; China was the main person who put together the strategy for them. Whether they liked their part of the plan, be it easy or hard they had to get the job done without leaving traces behind. Pretty much all China wanted was to see Arthur Kirkland go down.

By this time the meeting was over and everyone was packing and organizing there papers and things. When they were all getting up and leaving, China spoke out," Hong Kong I want you to stay behind. I need to speak to you for a moment, aru."

Hong Kong went back to his seat and sat down as everyone left the room, giving him an apologetic look as they went. China had his back to them while they shuffled out and when the door closed with a click did he turn his head towards Hong Kong. He walked over to a chair next to him and sat down with his head propped on one hand. They stayed in silence until Hong Kong spoke.

"If you have something to tell me, say it now. If not then I'll be taking my leave." He slowly rose from his chair but stopped mid rise when China hissed at him.

"You do not leave until I saw or tell you to. Now sit your ass down before I make it! So sit down and listen." Hong Kong sat down obediently like a good little child and waited for China to speak to him. "Good. Now then, about the sabotage plan on the company I was speaking about. I don't want you to be in it by any means; you are not to help the others when this is put into action." Hong Kong was surprised, even if he didn't show it superficially. He was in every mission that was given by China; be it guiding or tracking Vietnam to a check point or beating the crap out of people. He was never put out of a mission before, yes maybe the important stuff but never completely.

"What do you mean? I'm not needed in this assignment."

"No. That's not what I mean. I need you to do something different for me. Through sources that I had working in the company have told me of a spy that's in England's family. Ironically his nickname is the Stealth Monster. He is not biological related to him but adopted like his half brother Alfred F. Jones aka America." He let Hong Kong digest this information; he looked particularly interested in this private mission. Good, he had his attention. "His name is Matthew Williams. He is practically invisible. No criminal records or anything interesting about him. Oddly, as I've heard, you'll only be able to notice him by mistaking him by his brother. I want you to look into and gather as much information about and from him. Go as far as following and befriending him, aru."

Hong Kong didn't like the idea much, but if it benefit him in taking revenge against England or someone close to him; then he's all for it. 'Damn that stupid England and his stupid belief in magic and frickin' almost getting me killed and his stupid information on my parents.'

"And what if I choose not to take on this task?"

Almost immediately China answered," Then I'll never tell you were your parents are, aru. But…if you do follow my orders then I'll throw in a bit of cash for you and your family; promptly ten-thousand dollars. And when the day comes for when I have no need or release you, you will follow my orders without compliant." China hid quite a smug smirk under his fold hands, loving the reaction of the man next to him.

Hong Kong seethed quietly. He hated China for many reasons, but when dealing with his parents, he wants to literally choke the man. His parents had borrowed a huge amount of money from China; but when it came to pay it back, they couldn't. Instead of killing them like everyone else, he asked for their first born. His parents argued and pleaded but China had none of that, he threatened to burn them alive along with him if he were to be born. His parents had no choice but to agree to his request. Once he was born he was already on the arms of China on a plane to the U.S.

The only thing that could remind him of his parents was a medium sized picture with them in front of a building. His mother was in a summer dress, already pregnant with him. She looked like your average Asian, straight brown hair, pale skin and almond colored eyes. His dad, he had sorts of a stubble, pale skin, a head taller than his mother with a head full of spiky dark brown hair. They looked happy in the picture despite what was to come after.

"Fine, I accept this assignment." He looked away from the Chinese man, rage bubbling up all around his insides.

"Good, very well. I'll give you the rest of the information tomorrow afternoon, aru." He beamed and briskly rose up and walked to the door, he paused when he reached the door knob. "Do not fail me Leon*. For it will bring you problems in the future." He let out a sigh, "So far I have kept my part of the promise to you. I expect you to do the same." With that he left the room.

Hong Kong counted the steps in the hallway before he couldn't hear them anymore and slammed his fist into the oak table, causing a small crack to appear under his attacking hand. He leaned back into his chair for a while until he looked at the clock on the wall. He stood up and went out of the room and towards the fancy looking dining hall. He stopped before the door, listening to all the faint sounds of the Korean and Japanese man. He inspected the door for a few moments. It was a dark brown with a finishing coat of gloss. The grain of the wood were in patterns of swirls and spirals, he became dazed for a moment before his stomach growled.

He pushed the door opened and a big crystal chandelier caught his eyes immediately. The china ware, brand name, sat on the glossed dark brown table daintily. The glasses gleamed, the plates stacked on top of each other by size, and a variety of utensils including chopsticks where on both sides of the white porcelain plates. It looked like it came out of a home magazine you would usually get in the mail. Oh, there was also a giant glass vase of wild roses, Peruvian lavender roses and baby breaths.

He heard the sharp clattering of pots and pans and Chinese from his left. There, on the wall was the entrance to the large kitchen that they weren't allowed to go in; proposed by China himself. Then, a delicious smell of beef noodle soup wafted in and circled him, sending his nose to heaven. The simply things in life he loved so. He didn't show it but it was his favorite dish to eat.

He walked in and over to a bowl of assorted fruit. He picked up an oddly perfectly colored granny smith apple. He took a bite of it as the doors swung open to reveal the energetic Korean, Yong Soo. Hong Kong turned his head and spit the plastic foam at the Koreans face, making it land between his eyes in a saliva covered clump. (A.N OMG! XD I TORCHER KOREA TO MUCH o3o)

"Uwahhh! Ewww! Get it off! GET IT OFF!" Yong Soo ran around in circles, not noticing that the clump had already fallen off moment ago. Furiously wiping at the soiled spot on his face with his huge sleeve. Hong Kong toke a seat at the table, ignoring the frantic man-child in near the doorway. Japan came in as he seated himself and looking oddly at the both of them and awkwardly trying to comfort the other man. All the while cursing his kind nature and getting himself into trouble of the unknown.

The picture of all this: a quiet twenty-eight Japanese man comforting a man-child of twenty years old and an indifferent man of unknown age sitting at a table full of beautiful chinaware. Oh, the irony of Asians.

All of this resulted with the Korean claiming in the name Korea the man's breast. Hong Kong sighed inwardly as Taiwan and Vietnam came in giggling and looking quite flushed. Taiwan instantly went to Japan and whispered secretly to him. Hong Kong narrowed his eyes as they clasped their together with their eyes shining in determination. He wanted to know what the whispered to each other to cause such an expression.

But he did hear a bit of what they said afterwards. They said something about a new camera and some girl getting good shots of two blonde men in a restaurant. Now that he thought about these two men, e really didn't want to know anymore. He dropped his chin into his hand as everyone else toke their seats at the table; waiting for lunch to come out the hot kitchen. Japan toke a seat next to him as the others around the table. They started to chat away with each other.

"Ne, Hong Kong, what did China tell you when we all left that room? I was pretty worried when he was the only one I saw when coming down the hallway." He had a worried look on his face. He wanted to tell him about what happened but he honestly couldn't. It would cost him his parents if he told.

So he lied. "Nothing. Just to take care and to check in if Yong Soo wasn't mentally challenged is all." Said man shot up from his seat with his cheeks puffed up.

"You're just jealous that I'm taller and more well liked Shorty! SHORTYSHORTYSHORTYSHOR-!" A sharp metal thing whizzed past Korea's head. He gasped and looked between the boy and the butter knife that flew past him. It perfectly embedded itself in a wooden statue behind him to his left.

"Um, Hong Kong? Did you throw that butter knife at Korea?" Japan looked at him, obviously surprised. He never felt such a murderous aura in his short life; especially from Hong Kong.

"Hn." Was all he got from the young man. He just sat there in his chair, waiting for the 3 course meal to come out of the kitchen. He as hungry, he hadn't eaten last night's dinner or the breakfast that very morning; so he was practically starving. The Korean had finally shut up and was playing with the glass wine cup, sliding his pointer finger on the edge, making a soft high pitch sound. The girls hadn't taken notice or even bothered to. It was a usually thing that happened when the three men got together.

The doors to the kitchen opened with a grand gesture; waiters filed out with gleaming silver trays of food and different drinks. They set down steaming plates of food on the clothed table then briskly walking back to the kitchen to clean up. They all stared at the food hungrily ( mostly H.K); thought sadly they couldn't touch it unless China was there present.

The once again not-so-much-this-time bubbly Korean spoke up," Where in God's name is China!"

At that moment China came from the kitchen throwing an apron on a coat rack hanging in the corner."Ah yah! Sorry, aru. The chefs were running amuck in the kitchen. Getting the ingredients wrong, so unprofessional, aru!" he grumbled the last past out. He took a seat at the front and gestured for everyone to eat. They all instantly took the ladles, spoons and spatulas from the bowls and such; piling everything onto their plates.

"Uwahh! The food taste good China!" Oddly it was Japan who started to talk. A chopstick holding a piece of a dumpling, a faint steam coming from it. Little comments passed through them; China was completely eating up the praises that were coming at him. That was, until Hong Kong made a small comment that crushed the Chinese man.

"The beef noodle soup needs more salt." The man nearly choked on those words.

~*0*~LOLOLOLOLCHINAISDEAD~*0*~

The dinner was wonderful and civil; though it would have been better if Korea hadn't fainted of over eating and hit a waiter who had a tray of soup that landed on Vietnam and Taiwan who in which started to beat the Korean and Vietnam cleaning her face and glaring daggers at him. But all in all it was good.

Japan was currently walking around the small garden that he and China planted when he was younger. The white rose bushes let off a sweet soft smell that attracted bees and different insects. There were also birds that tweeting in the oak and willow trees, the small man made pond was swimming with Kio fish and cute pudgy frogs, and Taiwan was hanging dangerously from a tree about 5 yards high with one hand.

Japan swished his head around so fast that it could've caused whip lash and started in horror. She was laughing as a squirrel was sitting on her head and looking quite angry for in her other hand was acorn nuts! Japan gasped as the squirrel bit her hand and she let go of the branch and flew down.

"AHH! TAIWAN WATCH OUT-!" He landed face first in the dirt just below Taiwan. With her fast cat like reflects; Taiwan landed on her feet on top of the poor backed Japan.

"ACK!" Japan's lost all air he had in his lungs as the full weight of the girl landed straight on his spinal cord. He felt his body turn to jelly for a moment before gasping for air.

She immediately got off him and apologized," Om my! I'm so sorry Kiku! I didn't mean to hurt you; I didn't see you under me!" She helped the man get up to his feet and patted his back gently. Once the man regained his breath and the pain on his back was gone he asked why she was in the tree in the first place.

"OH! I saw some birds and I wanted to take some pictures of them. But I saw the squirrel so I started to collect nuts! And then one thing led to another and it well, ended up like this…"Japan didn't want to know the whole story much; but he did want to know one thing. It was so important that his life depended on it! And also that Hungarian women too.

"So, Taiwan. I heard from lunch," he looked around for no apparent reason, "that your team got some photos while they were working." The Taiwanese girl suddenly got an excited smile and a fangirl-ish gleam in her eyes.

She whispered quietly to the man, "Oh you must see them! They were only a millimeter away from each other! Like this look!" She put both her pointer fingers close enough for it to be a millimeter away from each other. "And you know what? I heard from the girls that they were brothers or that they looked alike!"

"My Kami! Are you sure they brothers or they just by luck looked alike! You must show me these pictures as proof of what you say. Show me the pictures!" Taiwan lead Japan to their secret hideout; which was the unused shed in the back. The jumped over bushes and traveled on a cobble stone path. They soon reached a medium sized shed and opened the door. There all the way in the back, sat Vietnam eating from a ramen cup in front of a desktop.

She looked up and waved friendly as she clicked something in the computer screen. They both went in a bee line o her, eagerly waiting for the photos that would already have been uploaded and magically fixed in Photoshop.

"I guess I'll go know. I hope the pictures look nice, I thought they needed extra in the smoothing and shaping." She got up from her seat and strut towards the door, dumping the empty plastic cup in the small trash bin. Both Taiwan and Japan looked through the photos quickly, not spending less then 20 seconds on each one. By the time they were finished the room went silent.

"Would you like to do the honors Taiwan?"

"Oh I would love to!" She grabbed the cordless phone and dialed a number and waited until the annoying ring ceased and someone answered.

"Hello?" A women voice answered the other line.

"Hungary, I have some new 'specimens' you must see." There was a squeak on the other line.
