Chapter 16 ~ Lying Visions

~

Japan and Prussia standing in the bedroom....

"Prussia!" Japan called out to the hiding albino.

((Oh! The memory of when I first reunited with Prussia! But.... I'm forgetting something...)) Japan thought.

"Who's there?!" Prussia yelled threateningly.

"Woah! C-CAlm down! It's me!" Japan pleaded, barely missing the edge of Prussia’s blade.

((Something... Something is different. I reunited with Prussia, and then we fought the Oni outside with Miss Hungary... )) Japan pondered, puzzled.

"What's the matter Prussia-Kun?" Japan asked.

"Don't you hear the sound of... something... getting closer? ..... Japan, where's Hungary? WHERE'S HUNGARY?!" Prussia questioned angrily.

AT that moment, the Oni rushed through the door, blood all over it's hands...

"Oh hell no.... There's no way in fu-" Prussia continued to cursed.

((It came in?! But I..... I locked the door....?)) Japan thought to himself extremely confused.

"WATCH OUT!" Prussia screamed, pushing Japan out of the way. 

Prussia attacked the monster, Japan left to watch with wide eyes.

((What the?!))

"PRUSSIA!" Japan yelled.

"Son of a-"

With on blow, the Oni's sharp claws pierced Prussia's side, and disappeared...

"Damn... This is bad..." Prussia grumbled. When he looked up, he saw Hungary, her bloody, yet still alive body.

"P-Prussia! H-Hold on!! I'll stop the bleeding with some sheets!" Japan cried, rushing to close the wound.

"No, it's ok.... I'm a nation.... Haha.... I can't die... Oh, that's right... Yeah... I'm not a nation anymore, am I? Looks like I'm losing my memory in my old age.... Aha...." Prussia joked sadly.

"S-Stop it! I'll call Hungary, or Germany! Please, I'm begging you! This is no time to joke!" Japan pleaded.

"Are West.... and Ita... And Lizzy alright? .... C-Can you.... keep them... s-safe?" Prussia asked shakily.

".... Yes. Miss Hungary and I are the last ones left. The others have escaped. We'll go home too. The others are waiting for us..." Japan said, giving Prussia hope.

"Kesese! Yeah... We'll all go to your house... and go... to the h-hot springs... Haha... Like I'll make it that far... J-Just... Protect Lizzy... and l-love her like... I would... for me.... P-Please? T-That's..... all I... ever wanted...."

((Because I..... forgot to lock the door, Prussia and Hungary had to.... B-But I... I... I did lock the door. And Prussia and Hungary are alive... This memory... it has to be fake. I know which one is true. The two of them would never die in a place like this!)) Japan decided.

A memory of Italy, Germany, Prussia, and Hungary in a strange and rather empty room...

((What's this room?!)) Japan wondered.

"Damn it! Even though the five of us got together the situation hasn't gotten any better! We're still locked up in here and that f******g monster is still after our asses!" Germany cursed colorfully.

"WEst, stop being so damn pessimistic! Someone has gotta notice the nations are missing bgy now, even if it's only a few, and they'll come in help us! Have some freaking faith for once!" Prussia growled at his brother.

"Please, you two, stop fighting! Please....." Hungary begged, pulling the albino back before he could start a fight.

"W-We're being eaten one by one... That's what I would do, if I were the Thing!" Germany snapped back.

Italy stayed silent.

"That's enough West!! There are still many ways to get out of here!" Prussia broke from Hungary's hold, and slapped Germany across the face with all his strength.

"STOP IT!" Hungary screamed, hands on her ears, as if she didn't want to hear the two bickering. She fell to the floor sobbing. "Stop complaining... You think this is hard for you?! Try being a mother, try living with the fact you might not to see her again, the fact that you might lose the love of your life to a f******g monster!!!!" She screamed, her body shaking as she sobbed. Prussia ran over to her, pulling her into his embrace. He cried along side with her, and Germany started to get teary eyed as well.

".... I'm so sorry... I can't.... think like that, I know... I-I'm so sorry.. But.. I feel as though I'm on a battlefield. Though, if it were one, I could keep myself together and protect you... Protect al of you.. I just want to change this...." Germany apologized quietly.

"You can't help it... You hate this kind of thing..." Japan said, quietly keeping to himself.

"....Germany." Italy spoke up, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Huh?" 

"It's okay. You will be OK. You'll get out this time. And if you get out, run straight ahead. Don't look back, no matter what happens, and get time-"

((Time? What is Italy talking about?!))

The Oni walked in... Hovering over Italy.....

"Italy!!!" Japan yelled.

"I-Ialy" Prussia called out, eyes wide.

"ITALY!!!!" Hungary screamed.

"Promise me Holy Roman Empire." Italy continued.

"ITALY!!!" Germany screamed at the top of his lungs, and Japan could swear that he heard glass shattering in the background
