Chapter 30: Tears

Kuro's P.O.V
I can't stop thinking about it. My head aches of thinking of that time. Why did I stab her without thinking twice? Alice-san was right; she is after me. If she remembers it now, it's ok. I deserve to die, after all. This memory is stuck in my head..was the Fall of Bataan.
Flashback
"Kuro! Why would you do this to me? Nīsan..I still love you!"
"Tch. Maria. You're a coward. You can't even save any of your men. How can you think you can stop me!? Hahaha!"
"Nīsan, what are you--"
SHING
I just stabbed my own sister.
"Imōto! Imōto! Daijoubu ka?!"
My insanity has stopped. I have returned back to reality.
Flashback Ends
"Kuro-san, are you ok?"
A voice snapped out of my thoughts. I realized, both my eyes have tears.
"H-Hai."
"Chotto matte, you have some namida at your face!"
"Ah. Arigatō, Maria-chan." I wiped my tears and stood up.
"Why do you have tears so suddenly?"
"Oh..I just remembered something bad..." Shit! I almost said it. I wanted to smack myself.
"Ah, Ok." My red eyes glanced at Kiku's worried brown eyes. I sighed. My eyes went to the Russian man.
"Ivan-san."
"Da?"
"Can we talk for a moment?"
"Sure! Where do you want to talk?"
"Hm.. At the back of the house."
"Ok~"
Now this leaves Maria and Kiku, alone. When we arrived at the back, Ivan's purple eyes looked at me.
"What are you going to talk about?"
"I want to talk about something very serious."
"Fire off, da."
"Well, you know that Maria does not fully know me?"
"Da."
"That's because she can't remember anything about me."
"Oh, really?"
"Yeah. Anyways, during World War II, Alfred declared war on us, along with you guys. I made thousands of Filipinos and Americans walk to one of our camps, Camp O'Donnel. Many people died during the death march. You know the Fall of Bataan, ne?"
"Da. I do."
"That is when I stabbed Maria. You see, She and Alfred was separated so she was stuck on fighting with me. Thousands of her men died by our kempeitais. Me and Maria slashed and slashed our swords, until she said , "Kuro! Why are you doing this to me? Nīsan, I still love you!" And then I said, "Tch. Maria. You are a coward. You can't even save any of your men. How can you think you can stop me?!" And I laughed evilly. Before I stabbed her, she said, "Nīsan, what are you--" I didn't realize that only the Honda family has immortality in our kingdom, due to our blood. I was insane back then. I didn't know what I was doing to my precious imōto."
"Kuro...I feel bad about you. So that's the reason why you're crying earlier?"
"Hai. It is. But don't tell Maria though; she'll obviously kill me just for revenge. I deserve to die myself."
"I promise I won't tell anyone. Does Kiku know?"
"Hai. He does." My eyes went to the beautiful night sky, remembering the things we used to do as a family. I looked at my watch. It was 7:00.
"I bet it's gonna rain any moment, Ivan-san. Let's go in." I said. We ran slowly inside then I saw Maria was sleeping at Kiku's lap.
"Did you tell her, you kono yaro?!" I yelled. Kiku shakes his head. I just glared at him.
"Are you sure?" I said in a scary, Japanese voice. The next thing surprised me, he did not shake at all!
"Yes. I did not tell her." He said with a hint of honesty.
I sat down at the one of the chairs and gently pats her head.
"Aishiteru, imōto.." I whispered in a sweet voice, smiling. I am so proud of her. Even I was guilty for stabbing her, I was still happy for her. Gentle raindrops starts to pour out from the sky.
"It reminds me of the weather during out battle.." I thought to myself.
Even though I hurted Kiku and Maria, I will still love and protect my otōto and imōto until we together with okaasan and otosan.
----------------------------------------------
Damn, this one is probably one of the hardest one to write. While writing it, my left eye hurts a little...Anyways, "chotto matte" means "but wait". "Namida" means "tears". "Okaasan" means "mother" and "otosan" means "father". All of what Kuro said to Russia is 100% true. 7 chapters to go, and the past is now revealed. America! Did you--
"Can I play "Canon Rock" for you, fräulien?"
Oh..*blushes* A-Austria-san. Yes. You may play "Canon Rock" for me.
*plays Canon Rock perfectly*
Very..beautiful.
"Ja. Just like you."
*blushes harder* R-Really?
"Ja."
G-Grazie!
