Do not own Hetalia: Axis Powers or Soul Eater although I do wish to know if anyone like my story.

No Beta so errors are my own. Somewhat spoiler alert for the manga.

1862

In a huge house located in Kentucky, a young man in Union uniform was slouching in his chair.

The sounds of shuffling alert the young man and when he opens his eyes he sees his eldest son looking in concern. Smiling weakly, he speaks softly to his son, "How is everybody Del?"

His young son lowered his eyes, "It will bea lonely Christmas this year," he admitted in a small voice that match his small body.

Shifting back up into his chair, he opened his arms and his little boy ran into his arms. After a moment, his son back away from the hug and ran back to what he assume is his siblings. His children are so smart. They know when to leave him alone. His remaining children are in fact waiting in another other room with their Nana, knowing that their father is ill.

The young man, known as the Union or The United States of America, gave a groan when his mirror shimmered, indicated that his old ally, the Grim Reaper, is calling. Forcing himself up, tried to look presentable, despite feeling like a herd of bison had ran over him twice. When he saw Death, for a moment, Alfred wonder for a moment if he is seeing things, for Death seem to look tired and sad as well. Giving a tired blink, the Nation spoke first, "While I do not mind calls, this is a bad time, in fact a bad year." Giving a tired pause, he continue, "Unless it really important."

The personification of Death gave a nodded and went straight to the point, "I need for you to make the Nevada Territory a state."

Jerking his head up, he stare at Death, "Why? And no short cuts in the explanation," America added as an afterthought.

Death stared for a moment, "Certainly, but let's do it in the Death room to prevent eavesdroppers."

Giving a consenting nod, America carefully stood up ignoring his aches and walked through the mirror. Looking around the cloud filled room, America located the table with coffee, tea, and cookies. He immediately goes down to sit down and to have some sweet delicious real coffee. Being a soldier is hard. Especially, when he can feel the pain from both side.

Death was sitting across, knowing that the young nation wants to get to the point, the Reaper speaks as soon as the Nation filled himself on the cookies and coffee, "As you know, Reapers does not have children the normal way."

America nodded, having been told in the past, "Yes yes, you break a piece of yourself. Your first child was murdered." Death tense slightly. If America had not known the Reaper as long as he did, he would not have notice. America waits for the Reaper to talk again.

Death gives a sigh, "It was a mistake the way I had raise Asura," a pause, "I am going to try again only with the intent of raising the new reaper with a closer eye."

America gave an eyebrow raise as he leaned back on his chair, "And how does this relate to making Nevada a state?"

"Due to my actions against the magic communities worldwide, if those beings learn that I have another child, they would seek vengeance against me by hurting the child. By having my child on your land, he would be protected within you and by extension, to all of the Americas Nations," state Death.

"I still do not understand in how making Nevada a state will help. Especially concerning how busy I am with the Civil War and trying to help Mexico with hiding her children from France," ask America frankly.

Death sighed, "Truth be told, it was Destiny who told me to do so. Although I do have a theory that by making Nevada a state, my son would be born as a US citizen, protecting him from certain dangers."

America frowned, "I know that Congress been wanting to pass an amendment to grant citizenship to those born on the land prevent liberties from being deprived," the Nation gave a sigh, "I will ask the Boss."

Death gave a thumbs up, "I will owe you a big one."

The USA stood up and stretched, "Until later." America wince as another twinge of pain hits him. Forcing himself to move the nation step back though the mirror and return home and to the war.

Nana (Bunnymund) is a character in my other story and Sandman cameo!

It always been a bit of a mystery why Nevada became a state during the American Civil War. There are theories but nothing concrete to prove those theories.

With Mexico, I was referring to the Second Mexican Empire. Napoleon III had his eyes set on the Americas. Normally, such interest would have provoke the USA to respond but busy with the American Civil War, Napoleon III manage to set up a puppet Empire in Mexico. Now Mexico wanted to protect her own kids whom the eldest is physically almost four, so she sent them live with to her brother, USA. This is strictly head canon, and those Mexican States where too young to take part in the American Civil War and only help their mother take back their country.
