Heavy rain poured down on the two nations, Xiao Wang otherwise known as 2P China was lying on the muddy grass. He weakly tried to push himself up off the ground only to be met with a blade cutting deeply into his back. Xiao felt a sharp pain suddenly running through his body, unable to hold himself up any longer he allowed himself to drop to the ground. His once clean military uniform was now covered by muddy water, dirt, grass and blood. Somehow Xiao managed to find the strength to push himself off the ground slightly, it wa enough to see the man standing in front of him.

"Kuro... Why?"

He asked, his voice was soft and quiet as he looked up at his younger brother. There were tears forming in Xiao's eyes, which could've been from the pain of the blade or the betrayal. Kuro also known as 2P Japan, kept an unamused scowl on his face.

"You know why...."

He spat at him, his voice was much harsher than usual. Kuro turned his back to Xiao, cleaning the blood from his katana.

"Goodbye, brother."

Kuro then stopped and turned his head round just to send Xiao a glare, but Kuro was smirking. It was an insane smirk, he then turned away again and walked away leaving the Chinese man injured and in pain.

"KURO WHY!?"

Xiao suddenly jolted up, he was shaking and tears were rolling down his cheeks.

"W-Why..."

A loud knock was heard at the door.

"Xiao... Are you alright?"

"Immediately recognizing the voice but not yet recovered from his nightmare, Xiao screamed.

"GO AWAY!!"

Behind the door, Kuro stood with his eyes widened at Xiao's sudden outburst of anger. He could tell by the tone of his brothers voice what had happened and why he was screaming. He lowered his head, a feeling of guilt taking over. He sighed quietly, slowly opening the door. He stepped into the room, Xiao's eyes widened in fear as he saw the katana attached to the side of Kuro's uniform.

"G-GO AWAY YOU BASTARD! LEAVE ME ALONE!"

He yelled crawling to the corner of his bed. His back was placed against the wall and his knees were tucked into his chest as he let out quiet sobs and occasional whimpering noises. Kuro glanced down at his katana then grabbed it, tossing it across the room as if it were nothing, although Kuro was never seen without it meaning there had to be something special about it. He then slowly moved towards Xiao who had began to multiple Chinese curse words at him, still trembling in the corner.

"Xiao.... Please, calm down... I am not going to hurt you..."

Kuro said slowly sitting down on the bed, he then shuffled slightly closer to Xiao holding up both hands in the air.

"No weapon, see?"

Kuro spoke using a very calm tone, to avoid scaring his brother more. Xiao started to calm down a little and slowly began to relax. Kuro shuffled a little closer to him and held out his arms, waiting for Xiao to give him a hug. Xiao then began sobbing again falling into Kuro, weakly hugging him. Kuro hugged back, remaining calm.

"Y-You... Said you hated m-me... And t-then... Attacked me..."

Xiao said between sobs, his head buried in Kuro's shoulder. Kuro hugged Xiao slightly tighter, clenching his fists. Kuro was mad, mad at himself for ever thinking leaving his brother was good idea. Xiao had begun to have that reoccurring nightmare recently, and Kuro knew it was his fault the nightmare was happening. He was also mad at himself for ever hurting his brother, now having to constantly worry about him as the nightmare happened more and more.

"Yes.... I know, I apologize Xiao... I didn't mean it."

Kuro sighed still trying to comfort his older brother, after a while Xiao stopped crying but didn't pull away from the hug.

"Do you promise to never do that again...?"

Xiao asked quietly, he paused for a second then pulled away slightly so he could look Kuro in the eye. Kuro slowly replied,

"I promise... Brother."
