Chapter 14
The girl lead China and his group through the winding roads of the town until they stopped in front of a two story house.
"Come in," said the girl, and she and the orange-haired boy walked in, the countries and there fans silently following.
When they walked in, they saw that the apparent living room was already occupied by 3 other people, two young girls and a middle aged man, turned their heads to view their new house guests.
"Ichigo, are these your friends," the man said walking up to the orange-haired kid.
"Yeah, Dad, we'll be in my room if you need us."
"Okay, son," and with that, the conversation ended.
The boy, who introduced himself as Ichigo, had somehow changed his clothing from the weird getup he was wearing earlier to a regular school uniform.
"Come on," he told them from his place on the stairs. They all nodded politely to the three other people and followed.
Entering what must have been Ichigo's room, the group found somewhere to sit, be it the ground or otherwise, once they were situated, they waited for the explanation they knew was coming.
"Well, what you saw was a Hollow," Ichigo began, "they are rage filled souls who eat innocent spirits, alive and dead. Our job is to free these souls, and the innocent ones, and send them to the Soul Society. "Killing" them relieves them of any sins they did as a Hollow, but if they were evil in life, they get sucked into Hell. You two," he referred to the two countries, " can see spirits, so you will probably turn out to be Shinigami like us. We need to go to Urahara's shop later and get you trained before we go to the Soul Society. I can get Orihime to take care of your friends."
The raven haired girls, Rukia, stood and jumped on the window sill. "I'll warn Urahara while you take them to Orihime's."
She leapt out, disappearing for a moment before popping up a few houses away.
"Come on," Ichigo said, leading the rest of the group to the door.
(Time skip because I'm both lazy and I don't want to describe the walk to Orihime's)
After leaving the fangirls with a clumsy and excitable girl, who obviously had a crush on Ichigo, Ichigo brought them to a old looking shop.
"Oi! Urahara! We have some people here who need to be trained," he yelled. A man wearing a hat over hair as pale as Russia's opened the sliding doors and walked out holding a walking stick, but not using it.
"Well well, back with more people? What are your names," he asked.
"I'm Yao Wang, and this is Ivan Braginski, aru," the Asian nation replied.
"Da!"
"Let get them to the training area," he said, holding the doors open for the group.
They went to the back and down a ladder deep into the ground, to a room where the ceiling was painted sky blue. The man in the hat, Urahara, smacked China solidly in the forehead with his walking stick, causing the country to fall over.
"Ow, what was that for, aru," China asked, rubbing the spot that had been attacked. He looked over and saw his body lying beside him, eyes closed and a peaceful expression on his face. He yelped, and jumped backwards, looking down at his new outfit, the same black clothing Ichigo had been wearing earlier. A sword was on his back, in its sheath. He looked over to see Russia in the same position, just not so freaked out.
~With America and Japan~
"Yo, dude, Kiku. How many months have we been in training?"
"I believe it's been about three months, America-san."
"Oh. Cool! And how many of the girls are left?"
"Well, besides Kojima and Susie, there are probably five girls who survived the training. The others got job in town and are sharing a house."
They turned when they heard loud stomping and saw Susie running towards them, with Kojima and the five other girls following close behind. Susie was beaming.
"Guess what, guess what," she said when she reached them, jumping excitedly, "They're gonna announce the top 10 cadets today."
"Really!" America (who is going by human name Alfred, along with Japan (Kiku) for the time being) practically yelled in excitement along with Susie. Kojima walked up to stand beside Kiku and they had a quiet conversation while their hyper friends burned themselves out.
After a few minutes, the entire group of trainees was called to convene in the announcement hall. The group of friends went to go line up and after a long and boring speech that almost put Alfred to sleep, the commander began saying the names of those in the Top 10.
They had said the names for the cadets 10-8 and finally someone they knew was called.
"Cadet Susie Kumberpatch for 5th place," the commander yelled and Susie, trying to contain her happiness, walked to the front and stood at attention.
Someone else no one knew (Or cared about) was called for 4th until "Alfred F. Jones for 3rd place" was called. Grumpy that he didn't first but still happy none the less, he walked to the front and stood at attention like the others before him had done.
"Kiku Honda for 2nd place!"
Kiku, being the light footed ninja he was, quietly and calmly walked up into the line and stood at attention alongside Alfred.
"Finally, Kojima Toshiro for 1st place," was yelled and Kojima, equally as quiet and calm, walked up to join the others in the line.
There was a loud applause as the commander once again stated that they were the top 10 in this year's batch of cadets and then went on to explain the positions offered to the cadets now that they were out of training.
"Listen up cadets! Three branches are now open to you," the commander barked to the graduates, "One will be the Survey Corps, dedicated to reclaiming lost territory that of the titans. Then the Garrison Regiment, sworn to defend and protect the currently standing walls, and finally the Military Police, maintaining law and order over the citizens and serving under His Majesty. Only those eligible for the Military Police have already been named, they are the top of your class!"
So, after the speech was finished, the four in the top 10 returned to their fangirl friends to discuss where they wanted to go.
"So, dudes and dudettes," started America, "Where ya'll goin'?"
"Survey corps," they all replied in unison.
"Really? Cool! So was I! Let's go sign up!" Alfred dashed off along with Susie while the rest followed at a slower pace.
Once they were signed up they were sent to their new barracks in the survey corps. Apparently, Commander Erwin trusted his subordinates, because they were all placed in the same room with only a rope to separate the girls side from the boys. However, the girls had permission to beat the crap out of any guy who crossed said line without permission, so everything was fine.
"Hey, Kojima, what do you think our first mission is gonna be?" Susie asked in the midst of their intense game of "War". (War is a card game for those who don't know. Also, America was the one who smuggled in the cards.)
"I don't know Susie," replied Kojima, who'd just won the next hand, "the only reason Eren was put in Captain Levi's group in the anime was because of his Titan powers, so…"
"So basically, we'll just go where the writers tell us, huh?" said Alfred, winning the next hand.
"Alfred-san, please don't break the third wall in this fanfic," Japan quietly intervened.
"Hahahahah, I'm the hero!"
"Not in this show," said Susie, "the hero is obviously Armin. He's the smartest."
"But, Susie-san, I thought Eren was the main character," asked Kiku.
"So?"
They all heard something crash and foot stomps before the door to their room was slammed by the very kid they were talking about. Armin Arlert frantically looked around the room before running in and slamming the door behind him.
"I'm sorry," he said, breathing hard, "do you mind if I hide in here for a bit?"
"No, not at all," everyone said.
He ran and hid behind America, the biggest guy in the room right before they all heard more stomping, this time however, it sounded more like a stampede.
"Think those were fangirl/guys?" Alfred whispered to Japan.
"Most likely."
Armin sighed a sigh of relief as the footsteps receded.
"Thank you for hiding me," he said in a shy and less frantic voice as he rose from his hiding place, "ever since we got in a new group a few sessions back, that's be happening to me and a few others quite a lot." He walked towards the door and was about to open it when the door opened itself revealing the form of Cassie, who launched herself towards Amrin, grinning like crazy and latching onto him.
"Hey, Armin," she said with glee.
Armin sighed with relief. "Hello again, Cassandra, how are you doing?" He wasn't as afraid of this girl as the others in the stampede. She had at least some self control, even if she latches on to him like this every time.
"Oh, I've been just great! I killed 2 Titans today and-" she began a long a detailed description of her day as well as the Titans she'd killed, until she noticed that there were other people in the room.
"Hey, guys, how've you been doin'?"
"Hello Cassie-san," Kojima-san along with the others.
There was a familiar flash of lightning and Sicily appeared, looking angry but calm enough.
"Hey, is Susie here," she said before she saw here, "oh, there you are. I can't believe she made me leave Mario island to deliver a message but whatever."
She walked up to Susie and bent down to whisper something in her ear. After she finished, she became more aware of her surroundings and saw Cassie, still clinging to Armin.
"Hey Cassie, how you been."
"I've been great," Cassie then started another rambling of how her day went that everyone but Sicily tuned out.
"What she say?" America asked Susie.
"She said that her friend sent my sister to My Little Pony Island so she could be safe with another one of their friends. She also told me that I owe her for making her leave Mario island to deliver this message and she expects it next time I see her."
As this conversation was happening, Sicily and Cassie continued talking and started walking out of the room, dragging poor Armin along with them. He gave them a final wave before the door was shut.
America watched the scene and then returned his attention to the game. "Okay…. So who won this round?"
