I awoke to a soft touch on my cheek. As my eyes adjust to the light, I see a small white cat with a red circle on her forehead sitting on top of me. I smile.
"Good morning Nekomi, what are you doing here?" I ask quietly. The small cat simply purrs. She jumps onto my bedside table and shows me a note I assume she brought with her. I pick up the note and gently stroke her head.
"Dearest America, UN has informed me that we will be watching over Germany at the meeting today! I'm so happy you were able to convince UN to let Germany join! It's been years since I've seen my friend. Before the meeting starts, we were thinking about getting together at our special spot in the forest. We hope you and your brothers will join! Signed, Japan," I read out loud.
I smile and placed the note down. Nekomi looks up at me sweetly. I pick her up and put her near the door.
"Go wake my brothers, I will get dressed," I say to the small cat. She makes her way out of my room to carry out her task. I smile and begin to get dressed. Nekomi is Japan's spiritual companion, which is why they have the same flag. If someone has a spiritual companion, it means they were supposed to have a twin, or their twin died before they got their powers. The dead twin's guardian would then collect the soul from the departed twin, and find an animal to merge with. That animal would go on to protect and comfort the other twin. I always wondered why I didn't have a spiritual companion...
Maybe he was supposed to be powerless as well...
I shook my head. I am supposed to have powers. I just don't have them yet... but I will.
Right?
I walked out of my room to see my brothers playing with Nekomi in the hallway. Australia picked her up and she crawled onto his shoulder.
"Are you all ready to go?" I ask. They all smile and nod. We make our way down the hallway talking and laughing. Nekomi purrs loudly and Australia frowns.
"What's wrong?" Canada asks.
"Nekomi is hungry, we should get her something to eat," Australia says. We make our way to the kitchen. Australia sits on the kitchen counter and gives Nekomi small bits of meat while I grab an apple from our fruit bowl.
"Being a spiritual companion must be hard work," I comment as Nekomi finishes the meat and curls up against Australia's leg. New Zealand smiles.
"It must be cool to have one though. Aussie, imagine if you were a spirit creature," New Zealand says. Australia laughs.
"Why would I be the spirit creature and not you?" Australia exclaims.
"Because I'm careful. Remember when you jumped of a balcony just because you thought it would be fun?" New Zealand says.
"What? It was low to the ground and over a lake! Ame was the one who told me to!" Australia exclaims. I laugh.
"I just told you to do it because I know I couldn't. Canada would loose his mind if he saw me even go close to the balcony," I say. Australia laughs.
"Wow, aren't you a great brother?" He jokes.
"America, may we speak to you for a moment?". Me and my brothers look towards the door to see Democrat and Republican.
"Oh... sure," I say. "You three can start heading out, I'll catch up," I tell my brothers as Democrat and Republican lead me to the study room. Republican closes the door behind us as Democrat sits down on one of the desk chairs. They are both wearing a matching worried expression.
"Now sir, you know that we are only here to help you," Democrat starts, while shifting his gaze towards Republican.
"And we just want to protect you," Republican adds, taking a seat across from Democrat.
"So we were both thinking that it is probably best for you to not attend today's meeting," Democrat finishes.
"What?!" I exclaim. Not only was I curious as to why I shouldn't, it was rare to see them agree on something. "Why?" I ask. They both shift uncomfortably.
"Well, you never seem to enjoy any of the meetings," Democrat says. Republican nods.
"And lets be honest, you never get to do much anyways," Republican adds. I sigh.
"Well, that's fine. It's still important for me to be there. Almost everyone goes to the meetings," I say. Democrat and Republican exchange glances, as if they are not sure how to say what they want to say.
"We just think it might not be safe, considering who's attending," Democrat says. I immediately understood.
"Oh, come on. I'll be fine! Germany would never hurt me! He is my friend!" I exclaim, "I appreciate the concern, but I'm sure everything will be fine,". I start to walk towards the door.
"Alright sir, we trust your judgment. Just please be careful. We don't want anything bad to happen to you," Democrat says. I smile.
"Don't worry, I will... it's just a small meeting, what could go wrong?"
