Do not own Hetalia: Axis Powers or Soul Eater. Although I am surprised that someone have yet to do this plot idea.

No Beta so errors are my own.

Time: Sometime before the American Revolution

A child and a giant bunny was waiting in front of a door. An odd door with its skull shape design. They both were confused and in the case of the bunny, unhappy.

The bunny turns towards the child and grasp both shoulders and spoke calmly but lowly, "Maska, remember to be respectful of Death and promise to tell me why he needed to speak to you. I know that you know him, but I do not know him as well."

The boy looked offended, "He my friend, he promised that if I am to die, he would tell me first."

The bunny gripes his ward and said, "I know."

The child gave a huge cheerful grin and gave his guardian a bone crushing hug. Despite the discomfort, the rabbit returns the hug. He gave a weak wave as he watches his ward leave. The child, almost a teen, firmly opens the maroon door and walked in.

The Bunny looks in concern then sighs.

The child hop-skip though the room looking like a sunset at the moment then it usual blue sky. The child smiles and quickly walks to his cloaked friend loudly asking, "Hi ya Death, what do you need?"

The intimidating figure of Death looks down from his mirror to the smiling boy and rumbles, "Hello America, thank you for coming."

The child beams at Death, "I bet it is really important!"

Lord Death stoops to the child's level and spoke quietly, "Yes it is. Do you know why I am allowed to live here in this spot?"

The child nation-to-be look in confusion, "Because Mama said you can live here?"

Death gave a nod, "Yes she did after I promise to help you and your siblings in return."

The child nods, not sure how this is going.

"Now do you remember your foster brother England?"

The young boy looks of confusion intensifies, "Yes….? Did he offend you or something?"

Death gave a long sigh, "Despite what any of those Europeans may claim, England included, none of them have the right to anything on this land. In fact, your mother's spiritual presence means that none of the European has any true claims."

America gave a blank look, "Wha…."

Death gave another sigh, "As they say in Latin, there is de jure or of law and de facto or of fact. Only you and your siblings can truly control of both de jure and de facto and can use the full resources of this land found here with no ill consequence. While England, Spain, French, and the other Europeans have de facto control at whatever area they go through the effort to control, their power would be superseded by you and your siblings. This extends to the hidden magic that your foster brother, England has been trying to use every time he has visit."

America looks surprise, "Visit?"

The Grim Reaper gave a pitying sigh, "Visiting once in a while to see if you and your brother are alive does not constitute 'living' here. Especially with Europe and his other colonies to watch over."

America looks down angrily but does not respond and instead leans back and says, "What will happen to him?"

Death gave a chin scratch and turn away, "If they try to reach too deep, they may unleash some of the locked up horrors."

"Like…" Prompted America.

"The one I can name with confidence would be the personification of the madness of obsession."

A grasp was heard and when Death return his gaze back to America, he had a face of shock and horror. "Why are you telling me this?"

Death gave a shrug, "I know for a fact that England have been trying to tap into the resources of your land and while you gave him permission, no one else save for humans would listen."

The almost teen cock an eyebrow, "So?"

Deciding to be blunt again Death said sharply, "One of these days, England will anger someone, get hurt badly, and you will have to clean up the mess."

Ahh, he now had the nation's attention. "How do I stop it?"

Death cheerfully said, "You have to cut off any power he has over you."

America looked flabbergasted, "What! This is the English Empire you're talking about! And what about Canada and Mexico?"

Death for once seems annoyed, "Canada has no interest in doing so and Mexico is wary to challenge Spain without support. All I need is one of you to have your own political authority and with that I can seal the other nations from outside the continent and stop them from getting in trouble by putting in alarms of sorts when they do choose to do something stupid."

America seems conflicted, "I…" Abruptly, he turn away from the Reaper and ran out the door.

Death gave a sigh and with a wave, closed the door.

"Cleaver idea. Make it seem like rebelling will help England."

Death turn and look to see who manage to enter his domain, only to give a sigh he recognize his Uncle Destiny. "It is the truth, although I was not going to tell them my omissions until later when the Europeans in Canada really try to dig deep into the continent and it blows up in their face."

Destiny gave a look and says, "Now, it will happen as it should."

The reaper gave another a sigh that suggest that this whole incident was an inconvenience like one would compare to getting the wrong flavor of tea. Although that still did not explain the strange bad feeling that stir in the deeps of the Reaper's being for lying by omission to the young child.

Sandman cameo and referring to my Soul Eater- Sandman crossover story!

Also, none of the characters were speaking English.
