AN: very short but its hard doing this and my psychology work the teachers hate me i'm afraid but i am trying to keep it rolling -_-;

England was sat curled up on the window seat body perfectly curved so it fit into the crescent of sun-light streaming through the window. His ears were twitching as he focused on the sounds of the birds outside, his forest green eyes open yet oddly vacant. He didn't seem to actively notice the passing of time only moving an arm or leg occasionally when the crescent of sunlight moved. And the only sign he gave of noticing the arrival of another nation was the ears swivelling towards the sound of softly padding feet. He didn't even move when the dark haired man sat on the cushion next to him.

'England-San?' Japan asked softly folding his hands on his lap. England flicked an ear towards him and blinked slowly. Japan sighed. 'You missed lunch ... and dinner' the ever observant nation stated. England shrugged slightly. 'no grumbling, cursing, fairy tale, creatures or badly cooked food he must be bad' Japan thought before bringing his legs up onto the cushion and crossing them, he closed his eyes and sat perfectly still, his breathing slow and rhythmic.

England's eyes flicked up to the statue like nation beside him. They stayed like that for about and hour neither moving except to follow the sun.

'It's his fault' England whispered breaking the silence, Japan stayed impassive. 'I thought he would care and want to help but he just laughed I guess I should've seen it coming. He always wants my help when he messes up but when I need him he's not there. I mean I raised him for god's sake he should know better, but then again he doesn't even speak proper English he has butchered my language!' England sat up quickly his expression angry. 'Without me he'd be alone and tiny! Hey without me he might not have even formed stupid git why should I care about him anyway it s not like I need his support! I am much older I can take care of myself! ...' he trailed off and looked at Japan. The dark haired nation was smiling softly his eyes open, the amused glint hard to miss.

England pointed a finger at the silent country. 'Youuuu' he said laughing realising what the quiet nation had done 'Thank you Kiku'. Japan laughed at the mad British man sitting next to him, suddenly his eyes widened.

'Wait here England-San' he said quickly before rushing off away from the startled nation. England just sat there mouth gaping totally confused, even his ears and tail had stopped all motion. Japan came running back barely 5 minutes later carrying something in his hands. As he approached England tensed. 'oh no he wouldn't!' was his first thought. Japan came to a stop in front of England and opened his hands. Sitting in his palm were a few brightly coloured feathers, a bell and a length of string all tied together. He picked up the end of the string that didn't have the feathers and bell tied on and dangled it in front of England's face.

'You wouldn't' England breathed looking up into the rather scary face of a neko obsessed Kiku. The young man just smiled a little and twitched the string. England's eyes focused solely on the feathers, his ears twisting forward and tail flicking slightly. The effect was almost immediate. Another twitch this time to the left, England's eyes followed it perfectly ears also following the noise. Japan moved the string away from England, laughing when he leaned forward so he could still watch it. Japan began to twitch the string more and in different directions watching with amusement the way England followed it with his eyes until...

BING!'

The bell rang loudly, England's eyes widened and he hit the bell again making it ring. His mouth opened into a huge grin showing the slightly elongated cat like canines as he repeatedly hit the bell. Japan gave up on holding the string and watched barely concealing his amusement as England continued to sit on the floor making a bell ring and trying to catch the feathers. After a while of watching the game Japan coughed. England jumped and tried to let go of the bell. When his hands didn't move England looked down. Whilst playing with the string he had somehow gotten it tangled all around his arms locking them together. He looked sheepishly at Japan and held out his bound hands.

'Help?' he said in a voice smaller than an ant. Japan giggled and helped untangle the blond mans arms.

'Seems you are more cat-like than you think' Japan said in his usual neutral voice. England frowned and flicked his tail deciding to stay silent. 'There all done' he said rolling the string into a ball and putting it into a pocket. He patted the top of England's head avoiding the ears.

'Be careful England-San' He said and left quietly, a bewildered England still sat on the floor just flicking his tail, and swilling his ears. After a while he gave up wondering about his weird friend and curled up on teh floor to sleep.

AN: Cats can and will sleep ANYWHERE and i mean that mine was asleep on the mesh over my plants in my garden the other day silly thing she has a perfectly good bed. And i thought playing with a bit a string and a bell would be a cute thing to see kitty!England do my cat certainly is mad enough to have fun for hours playing that game. Anyways this chapter is dedicated to Somnium Mos as they requested cat characteristics this also goes out to all reviewers and favouriters (if that's a word) for taking the time to either review or fav :D
