Aphideth will be referred to as Waaen in this chapter. Because Thai's hardly ever use their real name, except in formalities. And we call my big brother, Aphideth, Waaen, because he has glasses (We also call him Joe Joe when around Americans). COINCIDENCE? I think not. So anyway, enjoy~!


What the little Asian Nation-tan's do when Yao Nation-tan is away.

"Waaen, look it~," Meiying swirled around a long, qipao. Aphideth blushed.

"A-ana…W-we shouldn't be in here, and you shouldn't be sneaking in Phi yai's wardrobe!" Aphideth silently fidgeted at the entrance of the room, watching as Meiying happily looked through the large wardrobe that laid against a wall in front of Yao's bed.

"Oh stop being so afraid. The others are out in the garden, so you don't have to worry about Kiku coming in a bothering us...," Aphideth let out a small whimper, but complied to Meiying's reassurance, plopping down next to her as she looked around. He was surprised when she immediately turned around, stuffing silk into his face.

"It's so pretty! Look at this hanfu!" She held out the outer and inner dress of a hanfu, which was a cream white. Upon the cream pink of the outer dress, was the Chinese classic pattern, phoenix. It's full red lining completed the outer dress. She drops the two on the bed, getting out the sash that would hold it together.

"I'm going to go get Kiku, stay right here." She scampered out of the room, leaving Aphideth all alone. All alone.

~~~...~~~

"Kiku!" Meiying quickly stepped down the small staircase that separated the deck from the earthen ground. Kiku turned his attention over to her, away from his two little siblings.

"Yes?" Meiying pulled on the sleeve of his yukata, beckoning him to come, practically dragging him inside.

"W-where are we going?" He asked nervously, but he heard no response from his little sister.

"O-onee-chan...Eetoo..." He was pushed into Yao's room.

"I TRIED TO TELL HER! IT WASN'T MY FAULT! Anaaa…" Aphideth held up his arms for defense.

"I-i don't understa-," He was cut short by Meiying quickly untying his obi.

"Oooohhhh..." Aphideth realized silently.

"Yes, so come and help. Because I know you want too," Aphideth slowly went up to Kiku, bending down to take off his geta, whispering 'Kho thot' in the process. Kiku just stood there dumbfounded, absolutely no clue what was happening.

"Be glad I wasn't in the mood for Yong Soo, or else this would be a whole lot harder...," Aphideth noted this. They successfully undress Kiku, still in La-la-land.

"Kiku, I'm going to dress in this~," She got both the inner and outer dress, the silk shining in the light. She was totally unaware of Kiku's nakedness, only in his underwear. Kiku snapped out of his reverie, ready to retort. Although, Meiying, being one who hated to be denied, showed him her best puppy dog face. His previous face or shock and dread, now turned to one of regret.

"Oh fine..."

"Yay!" She quickly hopped to it, handing Aphideth the sash. He stood there watching as she pulled everything on to the wary Kiku, content smile on her face. Once she was down with everything, making sure the linings where showing and that everything was ready and in place, she took the sash from Aphideth.

"Okay, so you go behind him and hold the sash for me..." He quickly did what he was told, holding the sash in place while he had a bright red tint.

"But Onii-kun is supposed to come home today..."

"Then he will have a chance to see too!" Kiku inwardly cursed his life. She tied the sash in place, making sure it was tight. She stood back to view her handiwork.

"...SO CUTE~!" She squealed, cupping her face with her hands. She nudged Aphideth, who was covering the bottom half of his face.

"Ana... I don't know what to say..."

"I would prefer you didn't say anything, Aphideth..." Kiku also had a bright pink blush. Meiying was reveling in her excitement.

"Come, come, we must show the others~!" She took Kiku's hand, guiding him to the garden, where the other's resided.

"Look, Yong Soo~!" Yong Soo shot up his head at the shout of his younger sister. His smile now turned upside-down, eyes wide.

"M-meiying!" Kiku hollered. He brought up his arms, his hands hiding his face in shame. Yong Soo died of severe blood loss. Bian poked his head with a stick nearby, while Wei stared apathetically at Kiku.

"Children, I'm ho-" Yao stop dead in his tracks, the moment he saw his hanfu on Kiku. Kiku peered from underneath his hands. Meiying quickly pointed at Aphideth. Aphideth looked at the finger that was shoved in his face, and then quickly pointed at her also. Yao felt something trickled down to his lips, quickly concealing his nose. Blood seeped out between his fingers however, so he failed to hide his bloody nose.

"...Uwwwaaaaaa!" Kiku quickly hustled back to his room, repeatedly tripping over the long skirt of the dress. His door slammed, which vibrated the house. Meiying couldn't help but giggle.

~~~...~~~

Yao sat at the desk of his small office, two pieces of paper towels stuffed in his nose. Kiku sat at the opposite side of the office, his previous blush still slightly there.

"How did the meeting go?" He whispered, just for the both of them to hear.

"We have gotten rid of that opium scum. We dissolved it into a river that flowed out into an ocean. But now Commissioner Lin is ordering that Macao close its trading docks, because the merchants have moved from Canton, to Macao." Yao explained, shaking his head.

"And under these measures, the British ships have retreated to Hong Kong. We have received word that they also have a British warship along with them." Kiku feared.

"Does this mean you will...?" Yao nodded.

"Tomorrow. I only have this day, for you all. I have to get rid of the foreign scum. It's for my people. But for now, right now, I just need time with you, before I go. Do not worry, Kiku. I will come back." Yao slowly explained. Kiku shook his head.

"What will I tell the others...?" He whispered to himself as they both left the room.


OH NOES D: YAO'S OFF TO DIE. No. He's not going to die. That would mean bad stuff if he were to die :D. But anyway, I'm sorry for the terribly uneventful chapters, really. But the next one won't be a filler, I promise. Really.
