After the meeting almost everyone had left for home, some stayed to chat about various things whether it was about the Christmas festival or political problems. Canada got his things together, not too quickly though, he wasn't in any hurry to leave. Just then he felt a hand placed on his shoulder. He turned to see Russia there, now in front of him.

"O-oh, Hello Ivan"

Ivan responded to Canada with a child like smile.

"Hello, Matvey"

An awkward silence again, but not for too long as Ivan continued,

"I've learnt more about you before I came to the meeting"

"More? You…" This was surprising to Canada, It's already odd that someone would hear anything about him in the first place, but more? He already knew some things about him?

"Da. I've heard so much about you from my sister" Seeing as Canada seemed a little confused Russia finished the sentence, "Ukraine"

Canada's eyes widened a little now knowing one of his friends was the sister of Russia. This wasn't exactly the best thing for him. People had always said Russia was cold, cruel and even sadistic.

"You didn't know?"

"Eh?... u-uh, pardon?"

"You didn't know she was my sister"

The look on Russia's face seemed more upset now. Canada tried to think of something to say to maybe cheer him up, but he didn't even know why Russia was upset. Just as Canada thought this conversation could get more awkward, someone suddenly tackle hugged him out of nowhere.

"Canada!" What a coincidence? It was Ukraine.

"I see you've met my brother" The way she said that she was happy that Canada had finally met her brother but at the same time she seemed worried. Worried as if she thought Canada would dislike her for this.

"Um, so... What did you guys talk about?"

"N… not much, really…" Ukraine still looked upset. Canada thought he knew why too.

"You're brother seems like a nice guy" Why did he have to say that? He hardly knew Russia. The only things he knew about him was what he heard from rumours, though that was never a good way to judge somebody, it was hard to ignore. Still he tried not to listen. He would like to get to know Russia first.

Well this made Ukraine happy, a big smile appeared on her face.

"R-Really? You think so?" She nearly shouted with joy. Of course she'd be happy; nobody seemed to like Russia so she was happy for her brother. "Brother, I think you made a friend" she giggled. She hugged Canada one last time before running off to Belarus's direction.

Canada looked back at Russia who now had a surprised look on his face. Canada just stared back.

Russia's expression changed after that short moment.

"Are you prepared to back that up?" Russia said in a disappointed tone. He must've realized that Canada said that only for Ukraine's sake. He was right though; Canada told Ukraine he liked Russia a little so he might as well prove it… but how?

"Umm… Well….." He tried to think of a way out of this, but he could only think of ways that would get him further involved with Russia. "…Maybe….." Only one decision was stuck in his thoughts. No matter how he tried to think of something else, something better, that one thought would not leave.

A grin formed itself on Russia's face.

"I know what you can do"

Canada glanced up and noticed the devious grin on Russia's face. That grin soon changed into a not so threatening smile as Russia spoke,

"You can stay at my place to celebrate your Christmas"

Sounds innocent enough, but Canada was still a little nervous about it due to that creepy grin before.

"S-sure, yes, that sounds nice" Canada smiled nervously. Russia giggled, enjoying how shy his new 'friend' really was, thinking how much fun he could have with him.

"BELARUS!" The scream came from Ukraine just as Belarus charged toward Canada; knife in one hand and a gun in the other ready to kill. Before Canada could even look at her she fired the gun in his direction hitting him in the leg. Canada yelped in pain, barely able to stand. Canada stared at the menacing girl to shocked and injured to even try to move, Belarus, now close enough to strike raised her knife and swung it violently toward Canada. Just then Canada was tackled to the ground before the weapon even touched him. Canada let out another yelp once he fell to the floor. The fall opened his wound more leaving more blood than before on the ground. Canada was more terrified than ever, but he felt himself being held close to someone. He peeked up to see Russia was the one who tackled him, who was now holding him protectively. Russia sat up bringing Canada with him. He glared at Belarus, eyes filled with rage and disappointment.

Belarus was more shocked than anyone else who had witnessed this.

"Brother… WHY! Do you like him more than me! We were SUPPOSED to get MARRIED!"

Canada felt his face grow hot, knowing he was blushing he looked away from Russia so it wouldn't show.

Russia was the one person who was the MOST un-amused by his sisters actions.

"Belarus, what gave you the idea that Canada was a threat?"

"Sister told me he liked you. I will not let anyone have you! You're MINE!" She growled.

The way Belarus said 'he liked you' it made it seem like he 'loved' him. Well that would give Canada quite a reputation for sure, but right now that was the least of his worries.

Canada decided to push Russia away gently to tell him he didn't want to be held like this, but Russia held on. His big arms wrapped around Canada keeping him from escaping.

"R-Russia" Canada whispered hoping Belarus wouldn't hear. "Please… let me go"

"No"

"W-why?"

"If I let you go Belarus would only strike again, she won't attack you if I keep you close to me"

This was true, Belarus didn't want to hurt her brother, she wouldn't do it. So, Canada just rested his head on Russia's chest. He knew it was a strange thing to do but the blood loss was making him weak.

Just when Russia thought there was no talking sense into his little sister, it was Ukraine to the rescue.

"Belarus, H-he didn't mean he LIKE likes him, only as a friend" This looked like an innocent bunny trying to calm a love hungry wolf, but somehow it worked. Belarus calmed down and apologized, though the apology didn't sound real, but it was as close to a real apology as they were going to get. Canada didn't feel that much better though, he was the only one who noticed Belarus glaring daggers at him.

Canada did nothing but gulp.
