Chapter one

China stared at the man sitting across from him, both of them drinking their hot tea. The stranger in China's house was an older man, a man who was actually millenniums of years older than China, with a long, gray pony tail, pebbly blue-gray eyes, and wearing a strange-looking robe. They stared at each other for several more minutes before the stranger broke the silence by asking, "Well, do you know where she is?"

"As I told you before, it has been almost a century since I saw her, aru," China said while placing his empty cup down, "Why do you even think she would come here, aru?"

To the question the man gave China a playful smile and replied, "Yao-Yao, you were her favorite. A mother always returns to her favorite."

China huffed at the mention of the nick-name, a name that the stranger and the woman they were talking about called him when he was still a young child. He was not sure why the stranger had appeared suddenly at his house or why he was asking for the woman, but China was not lying. He could see, however, that the stranger refused believe this news.

With a sigh, the stranger got up from his seat and walked over to China. In response China got out of his seat and began to lead the man to the front door; only to have the stranger stop him by pushing him back with more strength than China expected the elder to have. China looked at the man as the he said, "I was hoping that you would be able to help me, but if you can't tell me where she is I'll just have to draw her out."

"What are you getting at, aru?" China asked out of confusion. In response the old man smiled kindly as if remembering something nice and began to chant in an ancient language. As the man began to chant, China looked at him with eyes wide with worry and tried to get away from the elder, only to stop when a flash of light appeared engulfing the Asian nation.

The light was blinding, causing China to stumble backwards and fall to his knees. When the light faded, China was no longer an adult but a toddler wrapped in his now extremely baggy clothes.

The now child China blinked his eyes rapidly, trying to re-adjust them to the suddenly dimmed light. He then noticed the stranger and looked up at him with a surprisingly happy face. In return the man looked down sweetly at the child. China then made a face as if he was about to cry, but instead yawned and fell asleep in the pile of clothes.

The man knelt down to get a closer look at the child before using China's shirt as a blanket for the boy. He then got up and after opening a nearby window slightly, he left as if nothing was wrong.

So who is this strange man? And what will happen to the now toddler China?
