As of recently, I learned about Kobe beef, the beef from the Tajima strain of Wagyu cattle which are raised in Japan's Hyogo Prefecture according to rules as set out by the Kobe Beef Marketing and Distribution Promotion Association. I also learned about Vicciola Meat, Italy's version of Kobe beef. I just can't help but write a one-shot based on what I learned! XD
Thanks Thoughty2 from YouTube for inspiring me! ^_^

Okari...(Itapan (Italy x Japan))
Some were sitting, as if thinking about a meditation they never had on earth,
Others embraced their grandpas, grandmas...or even simply their dogs, if they had chosen to stay and wait for their masters...
Others were crying in shock and many other things, with other persons giving them a hand on the shoulder.
All were in white...literally.
And many were coming in...
A man with short, raven hair stood. Not crying, not confused, not awed, not even apparently surprised. He was just waiting...
His eyes scanned the many white beings floating in and walking towards this strange waiting station, many of them accompanied by an angel...others ge

Dance...
Keep dancing...
Even if it hurts...
Even if you will never know I care...
I am just a servant, forever bound to this place and Christ...
But still, dance...
Keep dancing...
Smile innocently and waves your firey hair...
As I only can watch and humbly smile...
Please, don't ask me to be with you as a storm is coming...

You are shaking with fear, but tries to stay brave, like your brother...
How can you be so Earnest? Even more than me...
Mary Magdalene forgives me, I just can't let Mr. Feliciano like that.
As you hold onto me like a mother, I let the feeling of you print on me. I can only speak politely and hu

Suddenly, everyone heard a big roar as the fat spanish lady from the dance troup that had kidnapped Kiku, ran inside.
''I WILL MARRY HIM!''
Kiku felt himself boiling with anger with as he threw off his long mantle he was forced to wear (by demand of Anya) and began to walk towards the church's entrance.
'' No! I'm sorry, but I will not marry neither of you! I'm going home!''
''NO! YOU WILL BE MY HUSBAND!''
''Let me go!'', and with that, Kiku gave her a strong kick and started to run.
''After him!'', cried Anya as Nikolai and some of the audience began the chase.
As Kiku reached the exit, another despicable surprise was waiting for hi

Kiku could hear the organ playing a wedding march, as he was soon to walk down the aisle. But he wasn't happy about it at all. It would be a rather long story to tell, but to put it shortly, he was taken away from his home by a troup of dancers and singers and a certain blond dancer wanted him to marry his friend, an obnoxious, large spanish girl. After many days of running away, he had been found unconscious by a belarusian man named Nikolai Arlofsky . But the worst was yet to come, for Kiku had met, the night before he was kidnapped, a happy-go-lucky elf named Feliciano who had somehow managed to nestle in his heart. The two had promised to

There may be something there... (Beauty and the Beast)
''Wah! It's so beautiful!''
Italy was visiting his friend, Japan's home for the first time since a long time, and now, they were strolling around some quieter area, far from Tokyo. Japan had showed him a temple a bit farther from the rest in the countryside, and Italy, which has never quite seen one, before, was positively in awe. It was so simple, yet beautiful. The italian man happily ''vee''ed as he walked around the temple and looked around. Japan let a small smile creep on his face.
There's something sweet and almost kind,
But he was weird and he was loud and unrefined.
And now

*The NEXT Morning*
"Kiku! Kiku! Where are you?", a chinese man was searching high and low for his little brother. He was beginning to panick as he searched in the woods, with the help of the other men of the camp.
After what seemed like forever, Yao finally founds the young japanese boy sleeping peacefully inside a hollow rock. All his anger melted away as he picked up his little brother and went back to the campsite, intended to ask some questions to the runaway...

Feliciano woke up in the arms of his grandfather, smiling down at him. "Slept well, sunshine?", he asked.
"Vee, yes, grandfather...", he then looked around, but Kiku was

Kiku might have been young, but he certainly stood up from the other children at the camp site...
He was very quiet and polite and would much rather be alone than playing with other children. Also, he didn't saw what was fun in playing in the dirt and burning worms in the fire ( a brilliant idea from Alfred, a hyperractive american boy).
Yao Wang, Kiku's big brother, had tried many times to fit him in with the other children, but without so much sucess, as Kiku didn't seem to participate of his own will...
