Look guys I'm updating! It'a miracle! Sorry for not updating in like forever. I really don't have an excuse...

Eva's POV

Eva didn't recognize her town Period. Everything was in pieces and shambles, fires were breaking out in destroyed homes. It was only a matter of time before it hit the grassland and wiped them out completely.

Eva guessed that they had about ten minutes before they had the Monument Fire all over again.

Kiku seemed to be in some kind of trance as he looked at the Japanese man kneeling in front of him. The man's uniform was covered in blood but an arrogant smirk was planted on his face. Eva wanted to hit him.

"Why?"

Everyone stared at Kiku, who had spoken so softly, Eva thought maybe she had misheard him.

"You know why," came the man's answer.

Kiku tightened his grip on his sword, which Eva hadn't noticed that he was carrying. He looked torn, almost broken.

Eva knew what he was going to do.

Kiku drew his kantana, un-shead tears of anger in his usually expressionless brown eyes. He raised his sword, drawing it back before bringing it down toward the general with full force. Eva closed her eyes, waiting for the killing blow to strike before she opened them again.

Nothing happened.

Finally she opened her eyes. Kiku had stopped his sword just above the mans heart, something that displayed years, no, centuries of patience and practice.

The man looked at him questioningly.

"You're not going to kill me?"

Kiku shook his head and withdrew. He nodded to America, who barked orders to his soldiers. The man was lifted up to his feet and some of the soldiers began to but restraints on him. Kiku wrapped one arm around Eva, who had turned her back on the scene.

"Why didn't you kill him?" Eva asked.

Kiku shrugged.

"It just didn't seem right."

Eva wasn't sure what to think of this. She took his hand and began to lead him away from the battlefield.

"Eva look out!"

Eva turned just in time to be thrown to the ground by Kiku. Blood sprayed onto the ground and herself, not that it made much difference, everything was already bloodstained.

What horrified her was the knife that Kiku had just pulled out of his shoulder.

"Kiku!" she looked in the direction of the captured general. A grin was on his face and he had one arm free of the restraints put on him. Soldiers grabbed him, restraining him completely.

Eva turned her attention back to Kiku, who was kneeling on the asphalt, trying to stop the flow of blood.

America came up next to them, picking up the semi-conscious Asian nation bridal style. He gestured to Eva and the other nations who had been watching.

"Come on dudes lets get out of here before the fires start!"

Eva looked and sure enough smoke was rising up from the large expanse of dry grass that surrounded her hometown. She followed the others, climbing into one of the three helicopters that were trying to rescue people before the fires hit. She leaned back in the seat as America set Kiku down on one of the seats before climbing into the co-pilots seat. China and England joined them. By the time they were in the air Kiku was unconcious, Eva and China doing their best to keep him upright.

Eva looked down at her destroyed hometown and tears welled up in her eyes. How could she had lost everything in such a short amount of time?

She glanced at Kiku, and thought well not everything.

Her last thought before she fell asleep was for her family.

YEAH ONLY A FEW MORE CHAPTERS LEFT! Thank you for those of you who actually bothered to read this to the end and stick with me and my non-updating self. I'm REALLY bad about that. I'M SORRY! It's break now so hopefully I'll be able to update more between family stuff and practicing for regional choir auditions.

For those who don't know the Monument Fire was a fire that started in Southern Arizona. It was started in a place where SMUGGLERS usually go through. Any local would tell you that it was started by SMUGGLERS! Or border jumpers, I don't remember which one it was. It was awhile ago (I'm not going to rant about whatever the stupid new reporters said about the fire being started by local campers and what not which is bull by the way...) Anyways I'm done ranting.. DON'T HURT ME! :D

UNTIL NEXT TIME!
