Chapter four

Japan's POV

"Try moving Koneko," I instructed the little creature. I watched as she circled around and tested the stitch-work of the outfit I made her. Once she was certain that it fit well, she smiled and told me so. I know that it may sound like bragging, but I really do think the clothes I make her look better on her than the ones I bought for her. She also seems to like them more, I thought to myself as I watched her play with the hem of the navy-blue, ruffled skirt while placing my materials in their correct places. Who would have thought that years of creating cosplay outfits would be useful like this?

After the materials were put away, she jumped into my arms and asked, "Can we show it to Pateras?"

I smiled slightly at the nick-name for Greece and said yes. It had been a little over a month and a half since Koneko came to life, and as Greece said he had spent the majority of the time here with us. Due to this, Koneko began calling us both by our respective nick-name: Pateras for Greece and Otousan for me. I did not really mind the names; after all we both treated her like she was our daughter.

Teaching her how to speak and other things throughout this time had been rather easy as well. It had been as if any form of physical contact taught her something; and due to her being so small and adorable, she never lacked any form of interaction.

We entered my living room where Greece was still napping, and I watched slightly nervously as she jumped out of my arms and landed on the couch. From the couch she continued to slide down the back, land on Greece, and called out, "Wake up Pateras! I wanna show you my new outfit!"

Greece slowly opened one eye to look at her before carefully lifting her up into the air and looking at it. After saying that it looked good, he sat up and began to play with her. I smiled as I watched the two of them entertain eachother.

She truly was important to the both of us, one of the most important things to me. Due to this, I was always a little nervous about her getting hurt; despite both hers and Greece's urging that she would be alright. I suppose this fed into the reason why Greece and I agreed not to tell the other nations about her. After all, who knew how the others would react to knowing that one of my figurines suddenly came to life. For all I knew some of the more scientifically or magically interested nations may take her.

So Greece and I stayed the center of Koneko's little world, and we were perfectly fine with this. That is, until it was time for another world meeting.

The world meeting was to be held in America and I was thinking of what to do with her while Greece and I were busy. She however had a plan of her own and said, "Couldn't I come with? I'll be good!"

I thought about this for a moment. She could behave herself, I knew that, but what would she possibly do while she waited for us. The temptation for her to reveal herself would be likely if we brought her to the conference room, and I figured that it would not be best to leave her alone in a hotel room for the entire day. At the same time I could not leave her at home by herself for three days.

As I thought this out, Greece said, "It probably won't hurt to take her with us. She's a good girl, so everything should be fine. And if someone does try to hurt her then we'll be there to help her."

"Please, Please, Please Otousan. I promise to behave myself," Koneko began begging to me while giving a pleading face. At last I sighed and agreed while mentally telling myself that I would need to learn to say 'no' to her at some point.

The next day Greece had to leave to get ready for the meeting, promising Koneko as he left that he would see her soon. The rest of the time until the meeting was rather calm, and it was soon time for the two of us to leave. That is when things began to go bad.

Random things you most likely do not need to know but can: Pateras is one way to say father in Greek and Otousan is Japanese for father.

For anyone curious: the cover picture for this story is a picture of what I think Koneko to look like.
