I don't own Hetalia! End/AN/

Mongolia found China at his border, arms crossed over his chest and a severe look on his face.

Stepping around a goat, Mongolia walked quietly up to him, saying, "Yes? Is there something you wanted?" He might have added something like, 'You great bastard!' or something like that, but he didn't know for sure what China wanted anyway.

China's face turned a bit triumphant, as he said, "You don't know, do you? Since you ran away, everything has changed."

His heart dropped into his feet. "What'd you do to Tibet?!"

A confused expression crossed China's face. "What? Tibet? He is mine still, whatever he says. England says what he wants on that matter, but it will never change." A smirk crossed his face. "Why? Are you afraid of what I'll do to your lover? You know he is a monk, don't you?"

Mongolia's face flushed hot, and he snapped, "What is it, then?"

"Russia is no longer Russia."

This was a peculiar thing to say. How could a country as big as Russia disappear? Or had he been divided up in the big war? Mongolia swallowed, saying, "What is he, then?"

"He is the Soviet Union. His leaders have all been overthrown, and he has withdrawn from the world. Some say he has gone completely mad. The bloodshed is unthinkable." China was smirking. Why was he smirking?

It hit Mongolia before China could say it: his protector was gone. The one person who stood for Mongolia, who was able to help him in any way, was gone, trapped in his own affairs. He swallowed thickly. "I'll... I'll talk to England. England is helping Tibet."

"He was, anyway," China said, adding, "It doesn't make a difference, though. I didn't sign the treaty, so it doesn't count. Tibet is mine as much as you are. Though that bastard did take a chunk for India..."

Mongolia clenched his teeth. It made him angry to think of Tibet getting his land taken from him. Unfortunately, he could not focus on that right then. "It doesn't matter. I am at least autonomous."

China laughed. "Oh, but you're not. Within a little while, I will have you turned into a common Chinese province. Perhaps we can pick up where we left off."

"I won't let you!" Mongolia shouted.

"Just try to stop me, then," China smirked.

So Mongolia did. He slammed into China, sending him staggering back; his fist met China's ear, surely painful, and his foot went for his knee.

But China was also strong, or at least, they were somewhat near the same level, because he grabbed Mongolia's braid and yanked his head around, socking him in the face. Pain exploded in his nose, with the definite crack of the bone.

Mongolia had suffered worse pain and continued fighting, so with blood dripping from his nose, he slammed his fist into his gut. China made a heaving sound, and gasped for breath.

"You little, insolent, piece of trash!" China grunted, pulling his braid so hard that it felt like the hairs were ripping from his scalp, "All I've ever done for you is care for you as an empire should!"

"I don't need you and I don't want you, you greedy bastard!" Mongolia managed to twist around and wrestle China to the ground.

But that was when China got the upper hand.

He held him down, on top of him, and slammed his fists into Mongolia's face. There was no stopping him, however Mongolia wriggled and thrashed.

"Stop it! Stop!"

"It will never stop until you're Chinese!" China shouted, and another slamming fist cracked the bone near his eye.

Mongolia had never been in such pain. He screamed, fighting to get out from under, but he couldn't.

It was only when he'd been reduced to scream-crying that China got off, and kicked him in the side. Mongolia couldn't see him through his bloodied face.

"This is over," China said simply, and he turned to leave him.

Mongolia curled into a fetal position, holding his face.

Where was there anyone who cared to keep him from being absorbed by China?

/AN/ Short chapter, because there isn't much on this time period in Mongolian history that I can easily find. Basically, when Russia had its revolution and turned into the Soviet Union, their support of Mongolia evaporated, since they had too much to do at home. China took advantage of this and began killing off nobles and other important figures in Mongolia, aiming to make Mongolia a normal Chinese province.

However, worse is to come...
