Kimiko-chan left the next morning with a hearty goodbye. I was really sad that she had to leave, but she said that she would come over again to visit.

Kiku-san let me watch more of Power Puff Girls Z along with other anime that he suggested to me. I asked him about Shingeki No Kyojin but he told me that I would have to be a little older to watch that. I ended up watching a few episodes of Ouran Highschool Host Club, Lucky Star, and he even introduced me to some main stream anime like One Piece and Dragon Ball.

Afterwards we took a break and started a conversation. We talked about anime characters and manga. He told me that he would show me some manga that I would like. Although, there was one thing on my mind from yesterday that bugged me.

"Kiku-san," I asked, "D-Did you know about th-the fight before I told y-you? I mean... how did--"

"I know when to take the picture? Shitsurei shimasu for interrupting," he answered, "I have speciar senses for ships and rerationships. But I did not know about the fight untir you tord me about it."
(Excuse me/I'm sorry)

"Oh... okay, th-that's all I wanted to kn-know."

A silence passed us as he went to the other side of the room to retrieve something. When he returned, he had a pair of anime styled headphones. He set them in my lap and pulled out his phone. Then he plugged the cord into it. I'm not sure what he was doing but he politely told me to put them on.

"You can understand Japanese, right?" he asked.

I nodded, since nothing was playing I could hear him. He did something with his phone then some music started playing. There was a girl singing in Japanese, but her voice sounded different than a human's. She could hit notes higher and lower than any human I know. Although her words were meaningful and they were soothing to me. I couldn't help but to smile sadly when the song ended, I wanted to hear more of her.

I took the headphones off of my head and asked Kiku-san for the name of the singer.

"Her name is Hatsune Miku, she's a Vocaroid," he explained.

"Wh-What is Vocaloid?" I cocked my head to the side.

"Vocaroid is a singing voice synthesizer computer program. There are many different Vocaroids that have been created over the years. The most known today are Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin and Len, Megurine Luka, Gumi Megpoid, Kaito, and Meiko."

"So... p-people make these s-songs... and th-they sing them?"

"Hai, some of them can sing in Engrish too. Personarry, I prefer to risten to Kaito. I arways berieved in him from the start."

"Did s-something happen to m-make people not b-believe in him?"

"Kaito is a comprimentary mare vocar for Meiko. When he first came out in 2006, he was acknowredged as a commerciar fairure and had poor sares compared to Meiko. But, I arways berieved that he wourdn't be the fairure that the media carred him to be. Soon, his sares spiked up and peopre began to rove him. With the herp of Amerika-san, Kaito became more popular and cherished."

I was astonished that something so different could exist. Even though they weren't human, they could sing like one. I could easily understand them and hear what they had to say. I accepted them for what they are and was eager to hear more of their songs.

"Wourd you rike to risten to some of Kaito's songs?" He asked as he searched through his phone.

"Yes please~!" I chimed.

~ After venturing into Vocaloid ~

"You are a rearry good singer," Kiku-san caught me singing along.

"Arigatou..." I said shyly.

He suddenly got an idea, "Would you like to make a music video? I have all of the right equipment and I can do the editing."

"A m-music video? Is that a v-video with music i-in it?"

"Hmm werr, if you put it that way, it does make sense... but it wirr be fun. We can send it to Igirisu-san when it's finished."

"Okay, s-sounds like a great i-idea! But... how d-do you make a m-music video?"

He explained exactly what I had to do, but he also let me do what I liked. First, I made sure to change into my Kimono that I wore to the festival. Then he gathered the equipment and we moved outside. There's a lot more space outside and the sakura trees would look so pretty in the background. Then, he told me that I had to pick a song to sing in the video. I chose "Arigato No Kiseki" or "The Miracle of a Thank You" for my song.

Since Iggy was going to see this, I wanted to thank him for all that he has done for me ever since he took me in. I know that I have been away a lot, against my will, but I still am grateful that he let me be a part of his family.

After I learned the words in Japanese and understood them in English, we prepared ourselves to make the video. It took me a while to get used to the camera, it was fun making funny faces in it. Kiku-san couldn't help but to smile at my childish nature. Once we gathered our bearings and became more comfortable, we began the video.

~ In England~

*3rd Person*

Arthur was sitting comfortably on his bed when he suddenly got an email from his laptop. He checked his inbox to see that Japan had sent him a video. At first, he thought it was about a new anime, Japan has been trying to get him into it. But, the title made him look a little closer.

"My thanks to you~ Olivine"

He opened it and read the text below it.

Mame-chan (Olivine) and I were listening to Vocaloid and we decided to make a music video. She chose this song just for you, we hope you like it.

(There's English subtitles too)

He played the video and instantly smiled. Olivine looked so adorable in her pink kimono. He missed her so much and constantly worried about her, but he knew that she was alright.

"A-Are we rolling?" She asked to Japan who was behind the camera.

"Hai," he simply answered.

"Hi Iggy~! I'm doing fine over here in Japan. I have so much to tell you when I get back too! But for now, I have a song that I wanted to thank you with. It's for everything that you've done for me..."

He could see her start to tear up a little, but she quickly brushed it away as she spoke once more.

"I will be singing Arigatou No Kiseki by Hatsune Miku! Here goes nothing~"

The music started playing and she took a deep breath.

Tokei no hari wo mitsume nagara

Sono shunkan ga kuru no wo jitto matteiru

Dokidoki kodou no oto ga, shizuka na heya ni hibiku...

Arthur started crying at the beauty of her voice. He had never heard her sing before, let alone in another language. He understood what she was saying because he had learned Japanese from his alliance with Japan. Although, he still wanted to read the subtitles. This adorable child that he took in as his daughter really cared enough to speak her emotions through song. He felt so special that she felt grateful to have met him.

He placed a hand over his mouth and tried his best to stop crying. The song soon ended and she spoke again at the end.

"Thank you for letting me be a part of your family, I am truly grateful to have met you. Oh! And Papa too, along with Mattie and Al. I'll be home soon, I promise. Bai Bai~!"

The video ended and it wasn't long until he broke down in tears. He closed his laptop, held it close, and curled up into the fetal position. He was overwhelmed with emotion. Happiness, sadness, gratefulness, and he just missed her so much. She has impacted his life in a way that he couldn't describe.

"Angleterre? Ah! Zhere you--" Francis was cut off by the sight of his crying lover.

"Awe~ Angleterre, Olivine will come back, non? Don't cry," he came over to his bedside and ran his fingers through Arthur's hair.

"I'm... I'm not crying you frog!" He protested.

Francis smiled, laid beside him, and brought him into a warm embrace. He wiped his tears and kissed his face, even though Arthur tried to move away from him.

"Don't be so sad mon amour, I'm sure zhat she misses you too," he wrapped his arms around him and kissed his cheek.

Arthur tried to look away from him as he hugged his laptop close. Francis caught the jist that Arthur must have been sad from something that he had seen. He asked him about it but Arthur remained silent.

"Angleterre?" He asked again.

"...They sent me a video... her voice was so angelic... she's so grateful to have met us..." he was on the verge of crying once again.

Francis knew that he was talking about Olivine. He asked of he could see the video to understand better. Arthur sat up and opened his laptop once again. Francis positioned hisself next to Arthur and placed an arm around him to comfort him again.

Arthur played the video again and Francis watched calmly. It was only about halfway through when Francis started to shed tears of happiness. He ended up breaking down when the video ended, just like Arthur did. He understood how grateful she felt, even towards him.

"Angleterre... I miss ma petit Olivine~!" he sobbed.

He clung onto Arthur and cried into his shoulder. Arthur managed to
close and move his laptop away from them as Francis slowly pushed him onto the bed.

"I thought you came to make me feel better... and I wasn't crying you frog..." he hid his face.

Francis smiled and stopped crying, "You're such a tsundere~"

"No I'm not! How do you even know about that?!" Arthur blushed madly.

Francis was on top of him now.

"I like anime too you know," he smirked.

He leaned down and kissed his neck, "Angleterre, let's do somezhing zhat will make us feel better, oui?"

"Francis... Fr-Francis stop... Francis..." his words became lost in covered moans.

Francis chuckled and sneaked a hand under Arthur's shirt. He shivered at his touch and tried to look away. Then, Francis passionately kissed him and Arthur couldn't help but to moan.

Arthur spoke as they pulled away, "We can't go too far, Alfred will be here soon."

"Zhen let's not waste any time, non?" Francis replied.

He kissed Arthur once more as he felt him run his fingers through his long blonde hair.

~ In Nihon ~

*Olivine's POV*

"Wan wan! Wan wan!" A little animal called from the distance.

"Pochi-kun? Pochi-kun~" Kiku-san called.

Soon, a fluffy little creme white colored dog came running towards us. He sniffed all around me and licked my hands.

"I was wondering where you were this whore time, Pochi-kun," Kiku-san was happy to see the dog.

"Is th-this your dog?"

"Hai, Pochi-kun doesn't rike arr of the cats so he usuarry hides when Girisu-san comes over."

"Wan wan!" Pochi-kun seemed excited to see his master again.

"Kiku?" Heracles appeared from the shadows, he almost startled me with his stealth.

"Hai?" Kiku-san answered as he picked up Pochi-kun.

"Can I make lunch today?" He asked calmly.

"If you want to, then yes, you can," he answered.

Heracles nodded and headed inside. Kiku-san put Pochi-kun down and rubbed between his ears. Then he went inside to see if Heracles needed any help. I followed behind him but Pochi-kun suddenly ran off. Kiku-san didn't seem to notice so I chased after him to retrieve him. But it looked like Pochi-kun was trying to take me somewhere, he kept looking back to make sure that I was following him.

I think Pochi-kun wants to show me something!

~In the house ~

*Kiku's POV*

I was forrowing Girisu-san in the harrway when he suddenry stopped in front of me. I asked him what was wrong, but he just turned around and started to approach me.

"Girisu-san?" I asked again.

But then, he did it again. He kissed my forehead. Before rong, he wrapped his arms around me and made me feel uncomfortabre.

"Girisu-san, prease... I am not fond of--"

I was stopped by his rips. He let them ringer upon mine for a short whire untir he purred away. He smired as he let go of me and turned for the kitchen.

"M-Mat...te..." I realized that I was shaking.

I praced a hand on my rips and ferr to the froor. I can't berieve what just happened.

He just... kissed me. Did I... I didn't... I courdn't... but I did. Girisu-san is just a friend! I don't rike him rike that! But why did I have to rike the kiss?! Ah! What am I saying?!

This isn't shoujo manga! This isn't shoujo manga! This isn't shoujo manga!!!!!

Calm down Kiku! Calm down! Girisu-san must be doing the catnip again... yeah, that must be it. I'm sure he wourdn't kiss me if he wasn't. It has to be the catnip! But... what if it isn't? What if--"

"Kiku, did you get lost in your own house?" He teased.

"C-Coming!" I called as I gathered myself.

I wirr ask him about this rater. For now, I can't ret it effect me... but damn, that was a good kiss... No! This isn't shoujo manga! This isn't shoujo manga! This isn't shoujo mangaaaaaaaaa!

~ Outside ~

*Olivine's POV*

"Cho-Chotto matte kudasai! Pochi-kun~!" I called to the fast little dog.
(Please wait a moment!)

"Wan wan!" He replied back.

I followed him up a hill and into a vast forest of Sakura trees. Their petals covered the ground and decorated it peacefully. Pochi-kun ran in circles and wagged his little fluffy tail. I ran around and threw my arms out wide, I felt like I was flying through a sea of pink petals. Pochi-kun followed and dashed beside me. I found a stream up ahead and decided to stop and rest there. Pochi-kun liked that idea and we both sat down in the grass.

He panted cutely and I laid back in the grass. Once I caught my breath, I felt him come over and lick my face. I giggled at the feeling and tried to wipe his slobber away. He crawled onto my tummy and I ruffled his fluffy fur. He seemed to like it so I ruffled him all over. He looked like a tiny fur ball!

Suddenly, he leapt off of my tummy and started to scout the area. Something alerted his senses, his little ears perked up and his tail was up too. Then he started to bark violently and more deeply. I couldn't see what he was barking at, but I did feel that there was something coming towards us. Luckily, I learned how to see with my hands too. The animal was larger than me and Pochi-kun, but it wasn't as big as a bear.

"Waaaan! Wan wan! Waaan!" Pochi-kun was barking and growling defensively at the unseen approaching animal.

I stood up, quickly took my shoes off, and saw that there were more animals of the same kind heading our way. They prowled like they were hungry and haven't eaten in days. Their steps were careful and weren't stopping for anything. It was too late to try to run away, they surely would outrun and pin me down.

I finally saw their figure, there were four wolves surrounding us. Their fur was brown and white, they must have been through some tough things to survive. Pochi-kun backed up to me and tried to protect all of my sides. We were clearly outnumbered, I never learned how to fight in my current form.

It would be a good time to transform now! I wish I had my wand/staff!

Without warning, the first wolf pounced. Pochi-kun tried to fight him off but he was too small and was thrown elsewhere. He bounced back to protect me, a friend of his master's is his friend too! This time, the wolf jumped over Pochi-kun and landed on top of me. My hearing was filled with growls, snarls, and my clothes ripping. At least I wasn't wearing my Kimono.

"Waaaaaaan! Waaaaaaaan! Waaaaaa--" Pochi-kun was injured.

I kicked, screamed, and thrashed like a maniac. Although the wolf was trained and kept me pinned down. The other wolves from the pack pitched in and crunched on my arms with others gnawed on my legs. It wasn't long before I couldn't feel them anymore. I did have time to yelp in pain, the wolf was seconds away from devouring my throat. I screamed one last time to get it off of me, but I couldn't hear myself, so matter how hard I tried.

However, for some reason, they did cower away. My unheard, or high pitched, screaming made them cower away and run off into the woods. I could barely turn my head to see Pochi-kun limping, his front left leg was covered in blood.

"Po... Pochi... Kun... Kiku... san..." I breathed.

Somehow that became clear to him and he did his best to go and retrieve his master.

I couldn't move, I couldn't feel my limbs, I couldn't speak. I was truly scared for my life. If only I knew how to fight, if only I was stronger, if only I wasn't so childish. Maybe, maybe I would have had a chance... to find out who I really am. Or at least, what I really was capable of.

~ At the house ~

*Kiku's POV*

"Waaaaan! Waaaaaan! Waaaaan!" I heard Pochi-kun from outside.

"What is it Po-- Oh my sushi! What happened to you?!" I excraimed.

His reft reg was doused in brood, he seems to have been in a fight.

"Wan waaaan! Wan... wan... wa..." he ferr over.

"POCHI-KUN?!" I crouched down and picked him up. He kept barking endressry, trying to terr me something.

"Kiku, what ha--" Girisu-san stopped in his tracks, "Kitty's in trouble, we have to hurry."

He didn't give me a chance to question, I herd Pochi-kun crose and used his body ranguage to read the way as we ventured into the sakura sea.

"Waaaaaan! Waaaaaaaaan! Waaaaaaan!" He cried saddy into the sea.

Pochi-kun, you're so smarr. Yet, you did your best to protect Mame-chan. I am so proud of you, I rove you so much. Hang in there you two... prease, hang on for a whire ronger...

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

Happy late birthday Cuba~! (May 20th)

So~ apparently, Greece in Japanese is "Girisha" not "Girisu." Can I still say Girisu-san? I mean, it may be wrong, but it sounds more... the way it should be. Saying Girisha-san sounds weird to me, I just like saying Girisu-san a lot more.

If you didn't know before, France loves anime just like America and Japan! Another trio is added to Hetalia~! (I won't doubt it if he has a few body pillows of anime characters...)
