A/N: Alright so this fic is something I wrote awhile back and I found it My friend recomended that I post it, and so here it is. First thing to address, I see the kind of demon Japan is as a demon like Inuyasha, something I was in to at the tie of writing this. The cat ears and tail are practically arbitrary once the story gets past chapter 2, but I guess I used it to show that he had turned. Anyway, thank you so much for reading my crappy fanfictions and if you have soe constructive criticism please tell me. Once again, thank you.

Japan trudged through the large bamboo forest with mild annoyance. His younger sibling had created a rather large mess in the kitchen just earlier today. He stepped in and attempted to correct the mess and scold Korea a little, Korea darted off as a stressed China entered. As Japan was the only one left in the room he was blamed. After an unjustified scolding, Japan stormed to the very bamboo forest he was discovered in. Eventually he decided he was far enough in and he seated himself on a flat looking rock. He leaned back onto a standing bamboo plant and closed his eyes, the silence of the forest was relaxing. He sensed an unsettling presence, his eyes snapped open and he jerked himself up into a full upright position. A black mist had covered the area, Japan couldn't see where he was or where he had been, the path he took here seemed to fade away as everything around him was no longer visible.

"What do we have here?" A voice said.

The sound came from everywhere surrounding him, making it impossible to pinpoint an exact location.

"An immortal body? Splendid no more body searching for me" The voice said as the mist surrounded Japan even more, it eventually was absorbed into Japan's small body. With the last of the breath he could control he screamed. His vision faded, he couldn't breathe, after struggle he buckled under the force and power of the demon and fell to the mossy ground.

China had of course found the true culprit and gave Korea a long scolding before going off with his regular chores of the day. He assumed Japan would find his way back when he finished whatever it is he did. It wasn't the first time Japan had gone off into the forest on his own. China sighed as he crouched down to pick up a basket, filled with small silk clothes for the many children under his care. A very familiar scream pierced through the air making China drop the basket carelessly to the floor and sprint into the forest. How could he have been so careless? China pushes bamboo aside as he panted from exertion, his hair in complete disarray. After searching frantically he found the ebony haired child collapsed on the ground, completely limp. China rushed to the limp body and found that thankfully he was still breathing, although with difficulty. China gathered Japan in his arm and set a steady pace back home.

When they arrived Japan was lowered gently onto his futon and they covers over his body, a small moist cloth rest upon his forehead. He rested there for several hours, China and the rest of his siblings checking in and out. He finally awoke, he looked next to him to see Korea sitting beside him. Korea smiled happily as he began to spew out words, some of which were apologies, however they were drowned out by Japan's current inner conflict.

"It's that idiot that framed you, we should rough him up a little" Said a voice that was most certainly not Japan's own

"Why would I do that? He is apologizing, so he must feel remorse." Japan thought back to the voice

"What if he's lying to you, he didn't hesitate to leave you to be blamed, one hit and he'll learn" The voice persuaded

"No! I absolutely refuse" Japan said

"I'm afraid you don't get a choice, I'll be taking over"

Japan clutched at his head, the throbbing pain becoming almost unbearable. Chills went down his spine and he began to shiver violently. His vision became blurred as he felt himself slipping away.

"Japan, are you okay?" Korea asked

"L-leave" Japan forced out.

"Huh? B-but I'm apologizing like China told me to" Korea said

That was the final straw, Japan felt anger surge through him as he swiped angrily at Korea who jumped back, however was unable to evade the hit. Korea squeaked in pain and began to cry as blood seeped from the wound, staining his clothes. Tears spilled over and Korea ran from the room. Japan realized what he had done and began to shake, he looked down at his bloodied hand. His nails were sharp and elongated, much like claws. Japan curled up into a fetal position, pulling the covers over him.

Korea ran through the halls, stumbling a little, until China found him. Korea's clothes were torn and stained red. China was taken off guard.

"Aiyaa Korea, I asked you to apologize to Japan! How did this happen?" China yelled in shock

"J-Japan h-hit me" Korea said as he wiped away tears

"He hit you? I don't believe that, your wound looks like a big cat scratch. It is impossible for him to cause that wound" China sighed

"B-but" Korea tried

"Come on, let's get you patched up, I'll go talk to Japan" China said as he led Korea to his room

He gave stitches and swabbed it with medicine before wrapping it tightly in bandage. He threw out Korea's old clothes and gave him new ones. China quietly opened the door to Japan's room and slowly walked over to Japan. He gently lifted the covers away from the trembling figure.

"Japan?" China asked

China gasped as the eyes that looked up at them were not the chocolate brown he knew, but a blood red.
