Kagome smiled, putting the now clean dishes away, she could feel eyes from France watching her every movement. She didn't mind though, it was nice to have a friendly gaze on her instead of the heated angry ones she was used too.
"You have questions….don't you?" Kagome asked, closing the cabinet, turning to look at France who gave her a small smile.
"That I do, but I can tell you don't want to tell…do you?" France asked, his eyes locking with her own. Kagome didn't want to tell him about her past, but he made her smile and laugh. That was something she hadn't really got to do before. She could tell him some….but not everything.
No….not everything.
Taking a seat across from him at the table, she smiled softly, "I can tell you some….I am not ready to trust you enough to tell you everything."
Kagome didn't know how those words stung the older man. Countries fought, that much was true, but they always trusted one another if something big happened. No matter how much their countries fought, they all knew they were the closest thing to family they had.
"How about an exchange then, maybe you don't trust me." France reached across the table and patted her on the head. His eyes narrowed though after patting her head, he saw the small flitch.
So some of his suspicions were true, not good.
Not good at all.
Kagome nodded, keeping quiet waiting for him to ask the first question. She didn't feel like asking first, that and she knew that his question was going to be harder to answer than the ones she had for him.
France was silent for a few seconds before asking his question, "How were you treated growing up?" Seeing Kagome freeze he knew he asked the right question. He needed to get her to trust him, maybe if he understood her more than she would.
Taking a deep breath Kagome averted her eyes to the table, she didn't like her childhood, but there was this feeling she could trust the man in front of her. She didn't like it, but maybe she should trust her instincts.
They have never steered her wrong before….so why would they now.
"My childhood was different than normal people. I know that for years of watching and observing people. I was found when I was three years old, then locked away from the rest of the world." She paused her fingers playing with the tips of her hair, "I grew up, locked away from people, and when I did go out I was looked on as something..." Kagome paused she didn't know how to say it.
"As what?" France questioned, but he had a feeling he already knew. He knew how humans were. Some humans he had met didn't like him, thinking having a humanoid country was not needed; that the countries were something not normal.
"….I remembers the names the kids gave me, and some the adults did too. I always healed fast….learned things at an alarming rate. Knew things I shouldn't." She paused for a moment wetting her lips, "Freak…abomination…..not normal….something that should be locked away forever….Those were a lot of things that went with my name."
France eyes narrowed at those names, he was right. There was something else he needed to be sure of, but he didn't want to bring it up today. He would talk to the others before he asked anymore questions.
Kagome averted her eyes from France when he told her to continue, "I was first found in Japan, or that is what they told me. My name was Kagome Higurashi, but was always called by my country name by everyone. Never my name." She really didn't want to say more, so she took a deep breath; she wanted to get this over with, "When I turned sixteen, they said I could have one gift. I asked for them to tell me what I was. Why I was so different."
France sighed, he had a feeling there was more than what she was saying but it was enough for now. He was happy with what she gave him.
"They told me. They told me how each country had a humanoid form. Not every country had one yet, but there were still a lot of them. They didn't tell me a lot of information…but I researched for a year to find a way to meet you. Hoping that you all could tell me more of what I am…why I am here." Kagome finished quietly. She hoped that was enough information him. That was all she was giving for now.
"Thank you for telling me…" France told her, small smile gracing his face. He needed to go talk to the others about this, "How about I take you to a room to rest….we can talk more later."
Kagome nodded, letting him lead her out of the kitchen and down the hall. He stopped in front of a door with the word France on it, "Use my room for now, take a nap. I'll be back in a bit." He patted her on the head, before leaving her on her own.
Kagome blinked as she watched him walk down the hall, and disappear into the conference room. Taking another breath she frowned, she still needed to get Akuma back. She was still in that room, she would have to do that later.
Opening the door to the room she decided a nap would do her good, maybe some of her worries would be gone then.

France came into the conference room with a sight, he was going to have to talk to the others. They needed to get the girl out of her country. She needed to learn about what she was and what was expected of her.
"France…where is Niue?" the chipper voice of Italy brought him out of his musing. The fighting that was happening in the room stopped and looked at France.
Sighing France sat down, "She is in my room, hopefully taking a nap." His eyes looked towards England then the rest of the room, "I did learn something though."
This brought the whole room in; they wanted to know more about the new country. England who looked at France frowned, something wasn't right.
"What did you learn, because by the look you have on your face, it wasn't something good." England asked frown on his face. Eyes trying to calculate what happened between France and the younger country.
France sighed, "Her name is Kagome…Kagome Higurashi. She was found originally in Japan. It seems like he should have been the one to care for her by that information."
The room stilled, waiting for the rest of the information. He had a bad feeling if he blurted out some of the information and suspicions he had all hell would break loose though the countries.
"There is sovthing else, no?" Russia asked, his usually smile not in place. He knew France was keeping some information.
Shifting France, glanced at the people in the room, "No there is more. She is abused…that is a for sure thing. I know she was mentally abused, and when I to pat her on the head, she flinched. I am guessing she was physically abused too."
The whole room was silent before all hell broke thought. Abusing a country, something none of them would forgive someone for doing.
Hell had just opened, and the world was going to see it first had.
