¨Hey…. Hey! Kiku, wake up! ¨ I heard a voice yell. My eyes flew open and I saw China towering over me with impatience in his brown eyes. He was wearing his traveling clothes. Like the ones he used to wear when I lived with him…  ¨It´s about time you woke up. It´s time for breakfast, aru.¨ he said.

¨G-gomen… ¨ I said. My eyes widen to hear the sound of my voice. It was like when I was a child.

¨I still don´t know where you got those words… why don´t you speak Chinese?! ¨ he exclaimed. I flinched and shrugged.  He groaned and walked to the door.
¨Get dressed and come to the dining room. Breakfast is on the table. ¨ he said and left.

I sighed and went to my bowl where I wash my face. I looked into it and saw the face of a ten year old child. I must have gone to my early years…. I wonder what day it is… but with China´s calendar, it´s going to take me forever to figure it out. I thought and rubbed my face and looked at my reflection again. My hair never changed… it stayed the same over all these years. My skin… eyes… everything… I just grew… I sighed and dipped a red wash cloth into the cold water and pressed it to my face. Cold droplets slid down my cheeks and landed on my dark blue yukata. After I finished washing my face, I went to the dining room and sat on the floor. I saw bowl of pork dumplings with soy sauce.

¨Yao-san… may I please have some salt? ¨ I asked. China sent me a glare.

¨No, you eat too much. It´s going to make your stomach hurt, aru. ¨ he said. I sighed and began to pick at my food with my chopsticks. China sat down and began to eat his food. His eyes flickered towards me a few times.

¨Something wrong, aru? ¨ he asked. I shook my head. He sighed. ¨Fine, you can put salt on your food. ¨ he said. I raised an eyebrow to question him but decided against it. I grabbed the salt holder and sprinkled some onto my food.

¨Kiku… there´s something we need to discuss. ¨ he said. I looked up. ¨I´m going on a trip to travel the rest of the world. You will stay here until I come back. ¨ he said. This is my chance! I thought.

¨But aniki! ¨ I stopped myself when I raised my voice. ¨C-can I come with you? ¨ I asked shyly. He raised an eyebrow.

¨Why do you want to come, aru? ¨ he asked.

¨I… I don´t want to be here alone… the house is  too big… and I´m too small.¨ I said and did my best to give him the kicked puppy look.

¨Alright… but don´t cause any trouble, alright? ¨ I nodded happily. ¨Okay… let´s finish eating. We will leave in two days. ¨ he said. I nodded and began to eat. Won´t be long now, Xochitl… ´ I thought happily.

Two days passed and it was time to go. A wooden cart with a ox tied to it was waiting outside for us. I had tied my bag to my back.

¨Are you ready, aru? ¨ China asked. I nodded.

¨Hai.¨ I responded making him smile.

¨Let´s go then, aru.¨ he said and settled into the cart. I followed but need assistance because I couldn´t reach the seat next to him. He chuckled, picked me up, and then set me next to him. I blushed at the contact but ignored it.  He grabbed the reins and made the ox to walk. We sat in silence as cries of good luck and goodbyes began to fill the air. I looked around as the wind began to push sakura blossoms into the air. I smiled as I looked at them… ´They´re so beautiful… ´ I thought. A voice snapped my out of my thoughts.

¨Here! For where ever you are going to.¨ an elderly lady handed me a bag. I looked inside and saw seeds.

¨Arigatou.. but what are they? ¨ I asked. She smiled at me as she continued to follow the cart.

¨Cherry blossom seeds… to plant, in case you ever get homesick.¨ she said and stopped following and waved goodbye. I waved back. ´Maybe I can plant some in Mexico… I hope they don´t die in the climate.´ I thought to myself.

¨Hm… that was nice of her to give you those, aru.  ¨China said as he eyed the bag. I nodded.

¨Hai….¨ I said and continued to look into the bag. The seeds brought me happiness. ¨I glad she gave them to me…¨ I said. China nodded.

¨I can tell…¨ he responded. I looked at him. ¨Nii-chan? Where are we traveling to? ¨ I asked. He shrugged.

¨My boss hasn´t told me yet…¨ he said.

¨Oh…¨ I replied. ¨Well… I am going to take a small nap until we arrive. ¨ I said. China nodded and continued looking forward. I yawned and closed my eyes. I inched closer to him and laid my head against his arm and fell asleep.

-TIMESKIP-

¨Kiku…. Wake up, aru.¨ I felt China shake my shoulder. I opened my eyes and yawned.

¨Are we there yet? ¨ I asked. He nodded and pointed to his left. I looked over and my brown eyes widen in awe. Before me stood the biggest ship I had seen. It towered over us, casting a cold shadow over us. ¨It´s… huge.¨ I said. China nodded in agreement and got off. I followed and jumped off, landing on my feet. He grabbed his bags and offered me his hand. I tightened the strap of my bag and took his hand. He led me to the plank that went up to the entrance of the boat. We walked in silence. I looked everywhere and smiled. ´This will be one of the best adventures I have ever had.´ I thought.
