Do not own Hetalia: Axis Powers or Soul Eater.

No Beta so errors are my own.

Early 2000's

In the heart of Death Valley Desert, in the heart of the Death City, an entity was silently waiting for a messenger. Some distance away at the city edges, the younger son of the entity was waiting at the gate of the city. This boy is Kid Death...

Kid was annoyed – worried - his Godfather is late! The Reaper would deny it but he is worried. The only reason he was ever late is usually when it is an emergency, or he could be hurt, or sick, or his children are preventing him from coming. Kid is glad that he been left alone for the escort.

He must be more distracted then then thought for when someone tap his shoulder, the Reaper only could turn and look at the nine years old kid standing next to him looking just as annoyed as he feels. When the boy looked at him, Kid Death, even if he had not known him for years, knew it was his godfather's son. He had those eyes. The child gave a sigh and gave a wave and start walking to the city heart.

He tries to give the boy a smile, "Hi."

Apparently, Nevada was not in the mood. The entity tried to punch him, for once not holding back, and had the reaper been human would have sent him through a brick wall, knocking him out.

"Idiot!" Grumble the reaper in a hush voice as he forces the fist away.

The reaper dragged the arid State away before someone notices.

Once away, Kid gave the boy a glare, "Your late."

The boy looks on bashfully and faces downward, sun-bleached brown hair blowing in the wind showing the red undertones in the laughing sun, "There was an emergency that require all of us."

Kid stayed silent glaring at the slightly older being. Knowing that his citizen was asking for more information, the entity look at Kid knowing on how he will react.

Giving a long sigh and reluctant look the state was still silent.

Death the Kid had to ask, "Vajra?"

Nevada gave a solemn nod then gave a grimace, "You know, when the Soviet Union collapsed a decade ago, I never thought that it would cause the current troubles."

Kid gave a gulp for his sudden dry throat and the reaper gave only a nod to the state. Nevada smile weakly and started walking with the confidence only found of those that know city. Unlike most visitors, he went straight to the heart the city, the Academy or the DWMA.

Kid got even more worried, Nevada never goes straight to the heart of the city. He tends to wander, helping the poor, playing practical jokes, taking advantage of his aura that residence seem to trust despite general attitude of Death City...

Arriving at the Death room, Nevada pauses to compose himself, Kid escorted his state in.

When he enters the room, he notices that his brother is sitting on a green couch with a cup of hot chocolate, looking as tense as Kid feels.

Seeing the State is safe, Kid was planning on leaving but his father indicated for him to stay.

He takes his place next to his paranoid brother on the ugly green couch.

The Grim Reaper look at the state and cheerfully said, "So America choose isolation?"

Kid wondered vaguely why his father made the question a statement. When he looked Asura, he notices a similar confuse expression.

Kid notice that Nevada clutch his fist. Kid almost jerks back in surprise, the State was crying! Nevada is the driest state; if he is crying then... they are in trouble. Giving a breath, Nevada grit out, "Father is practically crippled, forcing New York to pretend to be our father during the meetings with other the nations, DC and Mother been acting personifications for internal matters."

"And the other nations?" Prompted Death.

Nevada gave a grimace, "Aunt Mexico is well enough to go to the international meetings but have been having Cuidad take care of some of the internal things due to searing headaches. Uncle Canada been having his son," giving a glance at Kid, "Ontario, control over dealing with the internal things which is pissing off Quebec to no end while said pissed off Providence is force to act as Uncle Canada during world meetings."

Kid and Asura give a snort remembering the French providence.

Nevada gave a knowing smile. He continues, "The Caribbean and South America are fine but rest of the world had been hearing some odd things."

For the first time, Lord Death looks concerned, "Odd things?"

Nevada gave a passive nod, "While those in the Americas are in the know, more or less, Europe is very confused and been wondering why Russia been more 'concerned' than usual. Africa is more or less in the same boat but caring less about it. Asia knows that something bad is happening in North America concerning the US but also knows that they do not want to know. And Russia seems to be just as bothered as Father if the state of the Confederation is any indication."

Death had been carefully tapping his chin before stopping, "Had Vajra's return at all affected your siblings and cousins?"

Nevada looks pensive, "It comes and goes. Some of siblings can go downhill real quickly but so far, none of it lingers and will go away within a day. Some are not even affected at all like Emi and Mother. Although that is a given since they are both tied to the Hawai'i Islands." Nevada gave a pause and with an inhale, charged on, "Except for some passing headaches, the Mex states are fine it is Tia Mex that affected. The provinces and territories are been suffering the worse, the headaches are mostly concreted in the middle provinces with the small human population but Uncle Mattie himself is doing relative well compare to Dad."

Kid gave a sigh, "Poor Saskatchewan."

Nevada gave a noncommittal hum, "Indeed, poor Saskatchewan."

Kid gave a glare.

Nevada gave a glare back but did not comment.

Death gave a clap and the reapers and state turn with full attention, "Thank you for coming Nevada, I have the stuff on their way now along with the reports."

Nevada gave a nod and turned to leave. Kid gave a sigh and went to follow him. After a second, Asura got up and followed.

Death gave a wave, "Have fun, do try to keep the damage minimal."

For the purpose of the story, Soul Eater anime take place late 1999 to 2000's with Vajra's return and later death around the time of the election of Vladimir Putin. I wanted it to correlate with some event so Putin was chosen.

This is so far, the least historically connected chapter so far. I admit that I moved my original time point from the chaos of 1990 to the 2000's to match the Soul Eater anime better. It still felt off.

Cuidad is short for La Ciudad de Mexico, also called Mexico City or México, D. F. It has its own personification because it is like Washington D.C.

Tia Mex means Aunt Mex or Aunt Mexico.
