The Past and the Present: Nichu Hetalia JapanxChina

Dead Night

China: POV:

I snapped my eyes wide open.

I heard something.

It was in the middle of the night, yet I heard something.

The sound of a door being slid open. My door.

Instantly, I was awake. Who could this be? An intruder?

Through the curtain, I could see a dark shape advancing towards my bed. The silhouette of a sword against the moon. I braced myself as the shape drew closer-

And dropped something that fluttered to the ground. The dark shape quickly backed out of the room, closing the door quietly as it went.

Strange. I pushed open the curtain, switched on a lamp at the side of my bed.

I saw a piece of paper on the ground. Picking it up, I squinted in the hazy light to read what was written on it.

Dear China,

I am sorry. Really sorry. I wish I could turn back the time and reverse what I have done, but I do not have the power, and my evil deed still stands. To make amends, though, I shall do what I need to do. Thank you for raising me for all these years, and guiding me. I shall forever be in your debt.

Farewell,

Your brother,

Japan

Japan? Japan wrote this note? Wait, and what did he mean by 'make amends'?

And the sword? Why would he bring the sword if he wasn't going to kill anyone?

Or what if he was?

A lightbulb lit up in my mind.

I pushed open the curtain forcefully, groped my way to the door and slid it open. I saw a dark shadow racing away from my house, sword strapped to his back.

I chased after him, following him silently. He didn't seem to realise I was trailing him, more intent on getting to his destination. 

My mind, however, was racing with 'what if' scenarios. Plans were being formulated in my mind, strategies to talk Japan out of his actions.

He stopped at a bridge. It was one of those bridges that were suspended over a still river.

This isn't good.

Japan pulled out his sword. The blade glinted in the moonlight.

No, don't do this.

Japan positioned the sword over his abdomen. 

I couldn't take it any longer. 

(CLIFFHANGER NOT REALLY!!! Oh yeah, hands up those of you who wants Japan to die? *raises left hand but is foiled by right hand slapping it down* Oh well rip Japan. Have fun in the afterlife. MWUAHAHAHAHAHA see you guys on Wednesday TNT out:)
