Chapter 4

The Axis trio, now deaged, cough out the small smoke they inhaled while waving their hands, trying to remove the white smoke around them. As the white smoke slowly disappeared, they heard some few familiar voices while the others aren't.

The brunette slowly looked up once the smoke was finally gone and found five.. Wait no, six?, people looking down at them in shock. She? Or was it a he?, since her.. His spot was where the Italian nation was standing earlier, let out a small confused voice before looking around. Upon looking beside him, he saw a familiar blonde and he gasped.

The little blonde was massaging his head when he heard a gasp beside him; making him looked at the voice's direction. His eyes widened when he saw the familiar brunette.

"I-Italy?" The little blonde stuttered out.

Tears gathered in little Italy's eyes. "..Holy roman empire..You're back!" He shouted in happiness as he jumps on HRE.

HRE let out a small smile as he hug him back. "Yeah..." He then frowned. "But how..?"

They were intervene when they heard another cough on the other side of HRE and looked to find a raven child sitting, coughing out the smoke he inhaled.

Once the raven child was able to breathe normal again, he sit up straight; sighing in relief. He felt their stare; making him look at Chibitalia and HRE's direction.

The three children then got into a staring contest for who knows how long.

Actually, it was just few minutes.

The raven child then opened his lips and..

"..あなたは誰ですか？*" The child asked softly, blinking his blank brown eyes at them.

Chibitalia and HRE looked at each other before looking back at the mysterious raven child.

"Ne, ne..Do you know what he just said, HRE?*" Chibitalia asked his friend.

HRE shook his head. "I'm not sure..I didn't understand what he just said."

The raven child continued to stare at them.

"Ve~ He actually looks cute! Don't you think so, HRE?" Chibitalia said, cooing at the young Asian.

HRE blushed a little. His friend was right.. The raven child looks cute, even though he's doing nothing but just sit there and stare at them with his head tilt a little to the side. "Y-yeah..."

Was it just them or did they just heard something that sounds like a question mark appeared beside the raven child's head? Whatever it was, it just made them cooed at the young raven even more.

The two then got closer to the silent one.

"Ve!~ My name's Italy!" Chibitalia introduced. "What's your name?"

The raven child once again tilt his head in question before a thought crossed his mind. Maybe she was introducing herself.. He looked up at them. "私の名前は日本です.*" He stated softly, bowing a greeting. As much as he can since he was still sitting.

HRE didn't really understand what he said. Though, he did get something from what the raven child said. "I think he said, his name is Japan."

Chibitalia looked back at his friend before looking back at the young raven. "Giappone*, huh?"

"I'm Holy roman empire. Please to meet you." HRE stated formally.

While this was happening, The Allies were still staring in shock as they watch the, now turned kids, Axis trio conversed with each other.

"What..." France muttered, his eyes wide as he looked at Chibitalia and HRE. "I don't..What..?"

Canada frowned. "This..Is definitely not good..At all."

Kumajirou's nose twitched as he look over the children. "Who are those kids?"

He didn't get his answer.

Russia's smile was completely wiped off as he observe the, now chibi, Axis.

England, meanwhile, was now fuming in anger. "Look..At what you've done, you bloody git!" He shouted as he turned at the American.

American was gaping when he heard the Britain's yell. "Wha!," He turned his wide eyes at the fuming England. "I thought it was just a toy! I didn't know it'll work like that!" He argued. Seeing the Britain's narrowed eyes, he added. "Honest! I didn't really know! I was just.. Trying to surprised them! It was meant to be a prank! A joke!"

England clicked his tongue, crossing his arms in his chest. "Well, it isn't. And look at what happened!"

America scratch his head. "I know! I'm sorry!" He apologized.

France sighed, running his hand in his hair. "Well, what are we going to do now?"

England was about to answer when they heard a thud sound behind them. His eyes widening when he saw it was China, but it wasn't China kneeling by the ground that shock the Britain but the tears that was gathering around the older nation's eyes.

"Китай!*" Russia called out in shock.

China didn't heard him though. His eyes was focus on the young raven child, his baby brother. His sweet innocent brother.

"日本...*" China murmured, though it was loud enough for the others to hear. "K-Kiku-di.." The name was stuttered out this time.

Chibitalia and HRE looked up at the older ones when they heard them speaking again. Though they were ignored as it seems they were busy arguing.. Yelling at each other for some reason they didn't know. Other than that, it seems that someone was familiar to them.

Young Japan was ignoring them though, in favor of thinking of where he was and what was he doing here. He couldn't remember anything at all. The last thing he know was that he was taking his afternoon nap while his older brother was cooking some food for them to eat later once he wakes up.

His older brother...

Japan frowned.

His brother must be looking for him. God knows how his dear brother acts when he thought something happened to him. And he doesn't want to worry him.

His thoughts were stopped when he heard someone called his nation name. He blinked. Maybe it was just his imagination?

But then he heard it.

"K-Kiku-di..."

Someone is calling him and he knows that voice. It was his dear brother!

Japan looked up and around; finally noticing some people he doesn't know. His eyes stopped wondering when his brown orbs locked with familiar amber ones. He then slowly stand up on his feet, swaying a bit. He was, and still, sleepy. He then start to trudge to the Chinese's direction.

As this happens, the remaining Allies, as well as Chibitalia and HRE, watch with bated breathes as the young Asian slowly gets near the older nation.

China watch as his little brother walk slowly towards them, noticing him eyeing his companions with wariness before looking back at him when he confirmed that they're not going to bring harm. To him or to China, the latter doesn't know. His eyes never left the young raven's form. And when Japan was in arms reached, the child suddenly tripped on his own foot and China, being the protective older brother he is, automatically leaned closer and catches his baby brother before he hits the ground, releasing his breathe that he didn't even know he was holding.

Now in his older brother's embrace, Japan wiggled a bit before looking up at the familiar face he was thinking earlier as his hands gripped the older Asian's uniform.

It really was his brother.

And with that thought. Young Japan smiled at China. "Gege..*" He called out.

China released a shaky breathe when he saw Japan smiled at him. More tears coming out of his eyes when he heard his little brother called out to him. And with another shaky breathe, he pulled his baby brother closer and hugged him while muttering. "Kiku..My little Kiku...*"

Japan hugged his dear brother back, snuggling closer at his warmth. "Gege.." He murmured. He was feeling even more sleepy and his brother's warmth is making him melt. "Gege.. I'm sleepy." He said, yawning cutely.

China pulled back a little and smiled softly down at his little brother. "You can sleep if you want, Kiku.. Gege will be here to keep you safe." He said softly.

Japan gave him a fond look, that made China's heart skip a beat, before snuggling closer to him, falling asleep.

The older nation hold his little brother closer, nuzzling his raven hair with a soft relief smile.

And the others didn't have the heart to interfere them. Neither did the other children. They silently watch the two brothers' reunion with a smile.

If I got something wrong, feel free to give review!

Thank you OniHika68 for your review!

Nice story! I don't see alot of stories that turn the Axis in chibis, Hopefully there will be some scenes that focus on Japan, As he is my favorite character, there is not enough stories of him as a chibi, I love that you added that Italy shows affection towards Japan since Japan is always written that he doesn't like hugs or touch, And China being jealous was just gold! Looking forward for the next chapters! But you do know that Doitsu and Nihon is japanese for Germany and Japan right? Germania is Germany and Giappone is Japan in Italian, and Iggy is short for Igirisu in Japanese (Igirisu means United Kingdom in japanese btw) You can make America call England Artie since it's short for England's human name Arthur, Sorry for rambling it's just this is one of my pet peeves, Don't let me stop you from writing how you want each other to call each other! Over all (Like I said) Nice story and can't wait for other chapters!

And you're right! There would be scenes that will be focus on Japan! Including this chapter :D And yeah.. I've also tried to look for more chibi axis or chibi japan fanfics but I only found few and most of are not finished or haven't been updated for years Q A Q...

Italy is just so cute and really affectionate towards those who are close and dear to him so I thought why not?~ O w O Even Japan can be so cute.. He just doesn't know he shows it.. Hehe. And well all know, China loves his little brother dearly and I can actually imagine China being jealous whenever he heard news about Japan and his companions.. With them being close and all.

Yeah!~ I know but it's just that it confused me a little whenever I switched languages to languages o n o; And with the anime in my mind.. All I hear is Italy calling Germany "Doitsu" and Japan "Nihon". I also love the way America called England "Iggy" than Igirisu or England; Where he will then retort with the "Don't call me that" or something like that xD.

Making America call him "Artie" isn't a bad idea.. Actually I already have that in mind for future chapters in this story :D

And no worries! Your review is actually good and will take your opinions and suggestions! I did in here with Italy o u o. All in all, thank you for reading and supporting my story!
