NEKO SUGAR CUBES ~ Countryhumans

~ The Bamboo Stick ~

South Korea and Japan was walking peacefully through the hallway. Suddenly, Japan's neko ears perked up. She stopped walking and tried to hear better.

"What is it, Japan?" South Korea asked her. He stopped walking too.

"I heard something," Japan said. She walked a few steps closer to the sound she heard. She gasped, "There's a fight."

The two did not take anymore time, and hurried up to the sound of shouting. They made it. The area was crowded by lots of countryhumans, that they kinda struggle to get through it.

South Korea was shocked to see his brother fighting with America whose arm was bleeding. Japan gasped with wide eyes. They saw North being what he doesn't. At least he would use his taekwondo skill! He didn't. He acted like a human posessed by a cat that was mad and crazy. He screeched and growled and jumped and stood on all four, with his tail perked up until the fur.

America didn't help. He kept on punching or kicking North, like they were in a ring. It was only in the authors eyes, that can see that America's nose showed a little confuseness and doubt. He already realized he was not facing North Korea that he knew. This is not North! Jeez, stop it! I'm exausted already. Don't ya feel tired?

Japan couldn't believe what she saw. The potion. The overdoze effect. He was controled by the potion. Why didn't I just take the cure to school today?! I should've taken it and give it to North this morning! What was I thinking?!

*punch* "*me*OW!" *thud*

North Korea, after trying to hit America in the chest, was punched again on the stomach. He suddenly flew behind, and screamed, and fell with his face hitted the floor, with a loud thud. He didn't move from that position for some seconds.

South Korea could not stand seeing his brother down and hurt. He stepped closer to his brother, and kneeled. His hand almost touched North's shoulder, when suddenly, the neko countryhuman rose his head.

South Korea was shocked. North's eyes... his brother's eyes... turned all yellow with a very thin vertical line in the center. North Korea stood. His brother was too scared to do anything. He just sat there, staring at his brother that walked casually to the american.

America stayed on his standing position, waiting for North to do or say something. His expression statued on his face, as North Korea walked right on front of him.

"Oh, North Korea! Just look at your hella crazy kitty form engulf yourself! Come on!" America said. He had been cursing in his heart for this whole time, but he didn't want to be rude (and the author does not want to add cursing words in her story).

North Korea stopped a feet in front of America. With his cold face and scary eyes, he stared at America, that made the boy with shades sweats.

"Kore~ Agh!"

North suddenly rose his hands with sharp long nails like claws and gripped America's both shoulders. He screamed in the middle of his sentence because of that unexpected move.

America gripped the korean's hands, but he could not get the sharp claws out. He just hoped the grip won't get any deeper, because it will hurt his skin. Fortunately, America wore a thick jacket that day.

South Korea gasped and covered his mouth with his hands. He held back his tears. Why do I feel guilty because of this?

Japan kneeled beside South Korea, and half hugging him. She kept her ears low, but she could not hide the tears of guilt of her own. She felt wrong, because she didn't take the cure today. This wouln't happen if I bring that vial! I'm sorry North-san, America-san.

North Korea's vision just as blurry as the beginning. Everything spun, and he could not focus at only one point. What am I doing? What's going on?

America tried kicking North's feet, stepped on his shoes, even hitting North's *ehem* with his knee. But the Korean didn't budge. North's grip tightened. America was even terrified. His hand could not do anything, because it is now too weak, and he was afraid to be bitten again. That hurts.

Suddenly,...

SLAP!!!

"OW!" "Agh!"

Almost in a flash, there was a bamboo stick that slapped to the floor in between the two boys who were fighting. America and North Korea quickly jolted away from each other. The bamboo did a surprisingly fast spin. And stopped in a horizontal position where the two ends almost met America and North Korea's nose. The one who was holding the bamboo stick... was none other than...

"China!" South Korea said, surprised.

China lifted his head to stare left and right into North Korea and America's eyes. Well, North closed his eyes. South Korea got closer to his brother, and shake him awake.

"North? North! Hey, come to your senses! Please!"

North Korea opened his eyes. It was returning to it's normal round pupil, and blue iris.

"S... South?" North whispered. He looked around. His eyes widened when he saw America with bleeding hand. He realized quickly what he had done, and he got onto his feet, and ran away. South shouted his name, but he did not listen. North Korea dived his way into the crowd, and left.

South Korea stood there for a sec, and he turned around. He saw America, still sitting on the floor, with Canada beside him. Canada said America's wound wasn't deep, and it's alright. South wanted to say sorry.

"America, I'm so sorr~"

"No, you don't have to," America said, "Just fix what've you done to your brother," he smiled.

South Korea smiled back. "Thanks Ame."

And after that, South Korea ran, chasing his brother.

Hello! Dian here! And this chapter is longer than the others. I'm proud of myself.

Oh yeah, before I published this chapter, I want to add a little explanation, and bonus scene for this part. And to make this chapter extra long.

How did China got that bamboo stick?

That morning, China went out of his classroom.

Geez, today is noisy! Is there a party going on in the class beside mine?!

China looked at the class he mentioned. Yup. Birthday party. Oh, there were also Japan and South Korea. And they were walking. How cute.

China walked into the first floor. He still got a lot of time to do more thing, than just walked to the next class. He finally decided to go to the library.

In the calm and silent place -well not really, he can still hear the sounds from outside the door-, China took a fast study for the exam. Just to recall the things he already read last night.

The plant growth potion... the water transformation potion... ugh! I already know all of those!

China got bored, so he decided to go for a walk.

He found the hallway a little calmer than he expected. Not much people going around. When he walked near a certain hallway, he heard loud noises. He saw North and America... fighting.

China realized North Korea's neko power was strong, so he went back to a classroom near him where he can find a weapon.

He got into the class, and immediately went to the corner. He grab a stick. A bamboo stick, and shout,

"Hey, Indo! I borrow your scout bamboo stick. I promise I'll give it back to you!"

"Okay," a voice said from the other corner of the classroom.

China went into the place where the fight happened, tried to look not suspicious, because... China? Holding a stick? Be careful, or he'll murder you.

And that's it! Thanks for reading! 👋 see ya next time
