7th December, 1941.

Dear Diary…

I haven't hated myself so much before. This morning passed too quickly and too smoothly. Yesterday, my battalion was informed by our leader, Chuichi Nagumo. Well, he wasn't the only one, there was also Isoroku Yamamoto, the Commander-in-chief and the Japanese Marshal Admiral. The plan was to target the Pearl Harbour in the Hawaii Territory, U.S. There was 414 aircrafts sent to attack the harbour, and I was one of pilots to drop the bomb. This was in the middle of the Second World War, and America wasn't part of this war until today. We managed to damage about 13 ships of the opposite side, and killed 2,403 people. Unfortunately on my side, they managed to destroy 29 aircrafts, and kill 64 of our troops. The U.S military fought back hard, and captured one of our sailors, Kazuo Sakamaki. I know that this event will go down in History, and I know my people will be hated for years to come.

Dear Diary…

Today is the following day, December 8th, 1941. The U.S didn't take our attack on Pearl Harbour too lightly. (Of Course.) We got news from Nagumo that the U.S military has now declared on my country. When will this war end? I sense something bad will come and bite us in the ass, I know it will happen.

2nd May, 1943

Dear Diary…

Today is the day where the Japanese admiral in the Navy, Chuichi Nagumo sent out 242 aircrafts to the destination Northern Australia, Darwin. It was in a matter of hours before we reached our destination. What were we doing in Darwin? We were ordered to bomb Darwin. Darwin was a small town where Australia's civil and military infrastructure was located. This bombing was nothing different from what we did to Pearl Harbour in 1941. We managed to kill about 236 Australian citizens. I don't know how someone could take pride in killing a large number of innocent people. But apparently, a lot of people do. After we returned to Japan, everyone was cheering as if their sports team won the grand finale. This is the second time I've regretted joining the Japanese military.

8th June, 1942

Dear Diary…

A lot has happened this year. The Allied forces are getting fiercer and it has been more dangerous Japan and the other Axis countries like Germany and Italy. From May 31st to today, our battalion attacked Australia. I don't have nothing much else to say other than we killed more people. Innocent people. I've never felt so disgusted with my country. I'm pretty patriotic about Japan, don't get me wrong, I love my country, but right now… I'm very, very disappointed.

So that's the start of this fic. Yes. It's a war AU. I love war AU's, because, well, I love learning about World war one and World war one the sequel. So, this is based off all the bombings Japan did to Pearl Harbour in Hawaii, and the attacks of Darwin and Sydney. The Japs didn't only attack Sydney, but close by towns like Newcastle in the New South Wales state.

Yes, these are diary entries written by Japan. (Kiku Honda.)
