Warnings: Language, blood and war violence

Chapter 1:

Ritte mich

Human and siren screamed as planes roared over the burning city. Bombs exploded. Bullets rained down from the blood red sky.

In just a few short hours Tokyo had turned into a full scale war zone.

Japan watched the chaos from his window.

An American jet roared over the house, the sound alone shaking the foundation of the Japanese home. A Japanese jet darted close behind it, firing at a point blank range. The enemy plane's right wing exploded, sending it spiraling out of control and crashing into an apartment building.

Japan could only watch helplessly as the residents of the building attempted to flee the crumbling building. Large chunks of scorched debris fell off the sides of the building. His chocolate brown eyes widened in horror when he saw that it wasn't debris that was falling. It was people. People where jumping out the windows of the apartment building. They saw no other way out and so they jumped.

The personification of Japan turned away as the building crumbled to the ground. The sound was defining. The force blasted out the windows and knocked Japan forward a few feet. He grit his teeth as the glass and other bits of ruble cut his flesh.

"Damn you, America…." He hissed as he struggled to his feet. He ignored the sounds of war outside his home as he made his way down the hall to his bedroom.

Outsides several Americans had landed and where attacking the innocents and Japanese army soldiers.

'I have to help them…' Thought Japan as he retrieved his katana and tied it to his belt. He took several strapped several other guns and weapons onto his person. The scream of a jet alerted him of the coming danger, he dove into the closet to take cover as bullets shattered the windows and tore apart the walls. As soon as the Japanese man saw an opening he sprinted out of the door and down the hall to the stairway.

Something crashed through the ceiling and tumbled around on the steps a few moments before coming to a halt a few steps down from where Japan was. The familiar bright red light and ticking noise told him what it was but he didn't have time to react before the bomb went off.

Japan was knocked off his feet and thrown backwards into a wall. Pain engulfed his mind. Smoke and blood clouded his vision.

Everything went black.

Pain.

That was all Japan could feel. Intense pain and total darkness.

No not total darkness. Not anymore.

There was a lot of smoke. It was hard to breath. And it was so loud, the noise hurt his ears. Where those bullet shots?

Oh right, Tokyo was under attack…

Japan tried to recall everything that had happened. Why was he lying under a bunch of ruble? The house was bombed…or at least he thought it was. Blood…so much blood….

Japan blacked out before he could fully recall what was going on.

The next time he awoke all was silent.

At first it was hard to breathe through all the smoke. Suddenly a large weight was removed from his chest. It took him a moment to realize that the ruble had been listed off of him. People where crowded around him. They were speaking franticly about something but japan was too tired to care and didn't have to try too hard to block it out.

A familiar voice suddenly made it's way into his mind. He couldn't make out what they were saying but he recognized the voice.

A noticeably shorter person pushed their way through the crowd and knelt down beside him. They said something else but their voice seemed more distance.

"I know you…" Japan rasped. He tried to lift his hand but found he couldn't.

The person said something else. They had a worried look on their face. Or maybe it was fear. He couldn't tell.

"…I know you…" He repeated. As the world around him faded to black he was able to make out one frantic sentence from the person before him.

"Hang on, Kiku!"

"I know you….You're…." Before the Japanese man could finish, his eyes rolled back up into his head and he fell unconscious.

"KIKU!"

This is world war three AU. So I dont want any flames about how this cant happen cause Japan only has a self defense force and is under US protection and all that other shit.

Hope you like it, please review! :D
