After enduring another day of chaos and idiocy I had finally returned home. Having others suspicious of me was not a good thing. I doubted the two of them would go and tell others about what they thought to be wrong with me. However chances were they'd start talking if they found out about the kid and that would make things difficult. So as long as I kept the kid out of sight. As long as they didn't know about the kid everything would work out fine. It was a simple goal. Simple, but harder than I thought it would be.

I looked up and smiled at the grinning child. So cheerful. Chatting on and on and I was more than willing to listen and humor the child. I was falling further and further into this and once I hit a certain point I was never going to come back. But that was ok. I cared far too much for the kid and I didn't find it a problem. If I was to give my life for him then so be it. I froze at the knock at the door.

"... Watch the pan. I'll be back."

"Ok."

I turned and headed out of the kitchen and toward the front door. An emotion that I wasn't comfortable with forming in my chest. I hesitated a moment before opening the door. I wanted to curse, but no. Bad idea.

"What do you want?"

"We just came to check on you." Japan spoke calmly while Greece was not so subtly trying to look past me.

I leaned on the door frame to block his view into my home. His expression stayed set as per usual. Damn brat.

"I don't need you checking on me. I'm fine."

I went to close the door, but Greece held out a hand to stop it from closing. I glared at him though he was unintimidated.

"What more do you want from me?"

"You're hiding something and I plan to find out what it is."

"I'm not hiding anything."

"Then how did you get so thin after only-"

"What are you looking at me for? Damn pervert." I huffed and set my hand on the door again.

"Please. We are just concerned for your well being." Japan spoke innocently while Greece matched my icy glare with a fiery one.

I snorted. "Since when has anyone given a damn about what I do? I'm not doing anything illegal so neither of who have a right to stick your noses into My life."

"But whatever you are doing is harmful-"

"I'm warning you to back off, Japan. Both of you just leave me alone."

"You're rather defensive over nothing." Greece spoke, showing he was unwilling to back down so easily.

"Ok fine. I'm doing drugs. Would you like some?"

Japan seemed to buy it as a look of horror hit his features for a second. Greece however just rolled his eyes.

"If that's the case I'm sure you wouldn't mind if we took a quick look around."

I set my arm on the doorframe to block his path. "You are not allowed in my home."

"And why might that be?" He drawled.

"We're enemies, aren't we?"

He opened his mouth to say something, but no sound came out. I froze. I could practically feel the color drain from my face. Dread sunk into my stomach making me feel more sick than I already did.

"It's burning!"

"... Who was that?"

I nearly cursed as I did the only thing I could think of at the time. I practically slammed the door intending to close it. However Greece again easily stopped it and which point I started pushing against it. I knew it was bound to make the situation worse, but again it was the only thing I could think of to do at the time. I didn't have an explanation ready. I quickly lost the battle as A: I was much weaker and B: both of them were pushing it open now. As a result I hit the wood floor with a muffled sound of discomfort while Greece wasted no time in rushing off to find the voice's owner. Japan hesitated as he seemed to be debating on helping me up and chasing after Greece. I shot after Greece before he could make a decision. Japan, with no other options, followed me. I found Greece staring in shock at the child in the room. Looking the kid over in a stunned silence though the kid didn't seem to notice the tension. Green eyes, tan skin, brown locks. Which I needed to cut again. Dammit. Japan let out a hushed sound of surprise at the sight. The kid looked up at Greece curiously.

"Who are you?"

Greece however just countered the question with a question. "What's your name?"

"Turkey."

The kid grinned brightly with that smile that made me take him in that day. He was so full of life. And there goes my little secret. Greece looked at me slowly. I saw something in his eyes I was sure I'd never see. The brat was horrified. But not just that. Concern for me was also taking form. At any other time I'd swear the brat was ill. This needed to stop Now. I kneeled down.

"These are some people from work. Why don't you go play for awhile and I'll finish up dinner and get these two out. Then it'll just be you and me for awhile. No work. I promise." I smile and he grinned back.

"Can you tell me more stories?"

"Yes, of course. Whatever you want."

I enjoyed the moment while it lasted. He hugged me before taking off. I moved back toward the stove in hopes to salvage what I could from the burning dinner. I made no move to approach the subject of the child. What was I supposed to say?

"Turkey-san…" Japan seemed to be at a loss as well.

"It's just Sadik here." I didn't turn around.

"How long has that rebellion been around?" Greece shook himself of the shock.

"It doesn't matter."

"Doesn't matter? That thing is sucking the life out of you. Taking all your resources. It's no wonder-"

My grip on the spoon tightened. "Don't Call him That."

"Don't you understand that you're dying?"

"Of course I do."

I let out a sigh as I willed myself to relax a little. The moment of silence dragged on. I found it rather stressful.

"... If you need me to get rid of it for y-"
"You are Not to lay a finger on that child." I sent Greece my most threatening glare, but all I got was a pitiful look in return.

Brat. I didn't need anyone's pity.

"Doesn't the thought of death scare you?"

"I'm old. I've outlived my purpose by now."

"Turkey-san, we-"

"I told you not to call me that. Do you want the kid to hear?"

"You cannot allow it to grow anymore."

"And why not? You've never given a damn about me before. You have no right to barge into my home and threaten My child."

"We're your friends."

"It is not your kid. It is a rebellion. Either one that is going to succeed and kill you if it continues to grow or it needs to be put down before you get too weak to rebound."

"Get out. Now. He is mine and only I get to decide what's best. Touch that child and I will show you why I was the best assassin in my day."

Greece met my glare with a half hearted one while Japan just shook his head.

"We Are your friends. We care for your well being whether you believe it or not." Japan spoke calmly and I turned back to the half burnt dish.

"I don't have friends. Now go. I will not warn you both again."

"Let us go, Greece-san."

Greece looked between Japan and I before complying. I traced their progress to the door by sound before I allowed myself to relax. Damn I was exhausted.

For some reason I don't think anyone is having as much fun as I am... Oh well. I hope anyone who reads this enjoys!
