A/N: Hey everyone! This chapter took a while longer than expected, sorry!

China's POV

"H-hey Belarus, shouldn't you go home now aru?" I asked.

"No," She answered curtly, "Can I stay over?" She asked as my house came to view. Belarus had followed me all the way from the restaurant to my home.

"Umm…" The way she worded it didn't really sound like a question. "O-okay aru," I answered.

"It'll be nice to get a tour of your home, I'll finally know where everything is," She grinned slyly.

"It's like you're implying that you've been here before aru," I laughed shakily.

"I have. Only once actually, at the dead of night when you all are asleep. I kept on bumping into furniture though…" She trailed off.

I didn't respond. It must run in the family aru. We walked up the steps of my house.

"Can I ask you a favor?" I asked her in a low voice. Belarus raised an eyebrow at me.

"Of what?" She mused.

"My family er… destroyed my kitchen; can you be sorta…you know, scary aru?" I asked anxiously. Her face lit up immediately.

"Scary? You mean you want me to provoke terror into your family's veins?" She asked in a creepy voice, her eyes gleaming, and a strange aura seemed to be surrounding her. Her mouth twisted into a grinned excitedly.

"E-eto, never mind aru," I quickly replied, taking a few steps away from her.

"Oh, okay then," She said, returning to normal, "I almost forgot. China, you didn't answer my question,"

"What question aru?" I asked, confused.

"I want to help you and Nii-san," She explained bluntly.

"Whatever aru," I sighed, realizing she wasn't going to forget the idea anytime soon. I knocked on the door.

My family was more helpful and cooperative than they seemed. Together, they cleared all the junk and managed to collect a small pile of things they managed to save from the wreck. A few jars of cinnamon, one egg, three carrots, a bag of salt. Huge garbage bags were filled with pieces of broken appliances, dishes, and trash. Vietnam made a hefty list of things I needed to buy.

Dinner was tense. My family was startled to see Belarus drop in for dinner. All of them kept eying Belarus and she kept eying them. Usually they would create a mess and be loud and make a huge ruckus but tonight none of them spoke a word, and silently ate as quickly as possible. It was nothing short of amazing.

"So can anyone care to explain aru?" I asked breaking the tense silence, narrowing my eyes.

They were all silent for a few seconds, eying each other warily before they all burst into their excuses. All of them spoke at once, seeming to have thought up of their own crafted explanation. All that came to me was a bunch of gibberish. I ran my fingers through my hair, waiting for them to trail to a stop. Belarus seemed to grow tenser and rigid by every second. She closed her eyes and drew in a deep breath. I guess she wasn't use to a noisy dinner table.

She suddenly slammed her hand against the table, rattling everything on it, "Silence," She hissed. My family stopped talking at once, staring at her with wide eyes. I folded my hands on the table. Everyone set their eating utensils down, fidgeting uneasily.

"Taiwan, care to share your story first aru?" I let sarcasm tinge my voice, seeing as she was the one that looked the most upset and frustrated.

"W-well after we came home from the world meeting Vietnam and I decided to get started on lunch. B-but the rice cooker sorta broke," She started off hesitantly. I raised an eyebrow but nodded for her to continue. "We thought it would be best if we took care of it since you and Rus-," She stopped abruptly, looking at me guiltily as if she said a taboo word.

I looked away but nodded, "Continue aru," I said.

"So we were at the store and I thought that it would be a good idea if we picked up some coconut milk to make some red curry. Vietnam liked the idea, so when we came back we both started making it," She drew in a deep breath. "I was on the phone and was in the middle of texting really importantly with a friend, but the curry needed to be stirred," She then glared at Korea, and I made the obvious assumption that he was behind this, "And so I put my phone on the counter for a minute since Vietnam was busy finishing cutting vegetables," She started trembling in anger, glaring at Korea.

Vietnam, who was sitting next to her, placed a hand on her shoulder, continuing the story in Taiwan's place, "So I was finishing up on the vegetables and she was stirring, the both of us fine. Korea wants to know what we're making and decides to wander in," Vietnam rolled her eyes, "He started goofing off as usual and-"

"Then KOREA decides that it would be funny if he steals my PHONE AND SCREAM OUT MY TEXTS!" Taiwan screamed, standing up. Her hands slammed down on the table dramatically. Korea stood up too, doing the same.

"No, I didn't Aniki! I told her I needed to use her phone to make a quick call-"

"Oh you LIAR! That's not how it happened! Stop lying to Gege!" Taiwan cried out in the middle of Korea's explanation.

"-because my phone ran out of battery and I lost my charger!" He protested loudly over Taiwan's voice. I rubbed my forehead.

"Yea, that doesn't mean you snatch her phone without asking her first," Vietnam said defensively.

I looked up at the ceiling, drawing in a deep breath. "This story is no different from any others I've heard aru. So then what caused destruction to my kitchen aru?" I asked petulantly.

"Well, by now, I arrived, to see if I could clear the argument before it got worse ana," Thailand chided in, sheepishly grinning.

"Ah," I nodded slowly in a slow sarcastic manner.

"Korea was holding the phone high and taunting Taiwan and Taiwan was trying to reach for it, you know, what he usually does. It accidentally slipped from his hand and fell into the curry,"

"It wasn't an accident! He did it on purpose!" Taiwan cried out.

"No it wasn't! Thailand is my witness!" Korea shot back, he stood up.

"Well I didn't exactly see ana," Thailand said hesitantly, "And by then Taiwan didn't care if it was an accident or not. She was beyond furious and started throwing whatever she found on the shelves and counter at Korea ana," I drew a sharp intake of breath, trying to hold in my anger for a little more. Relax aru…relax…this isn't something you can't handle….

Taiwan's cheeks tinted pink in embarrassment. I clenched my teeth together.

"So after hearing Taiwan's yelling, Japan and Hong Kong came," Vietnam explained, "And by then it turned into a huge food fight between Korea and Taiwan,"

"We tried to get them to stop, but Korea accidentally broke the rice cooker which made Vietnam furious-" Thailand explained.

"-we barely bought it!" Vietnam protested.

"So she started throwing eggs-"

"Hey! I'm not the only one!" Vietnam said, "You did too!"

"W-well," Thailand laughed uneasily, "We did try to stop them," I tried to maintain my anger. These were my siblings, who were assumingly mature countries.

"B-but it wasn't our fault!" Japan added quickly, noticing my rapidly losing patience, "Nothing would have happened to the kitchen if Hong Kong hadn't lit fireworks and-"

"Japan!" Everyone yelled at the same time, silencing him. Hong Kong tensed.

That did it. I began trembling in anger.

"Fireworks aru?! Fireworks!" I yelled, "How many times have I told you to get rid of them aru! LIGHTING FIREWORKS! THEY SET THE KITCHEN ON FIRE! THE REASON I BANNED THEM FROM YOU WAS BECAUSE I KNEW SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD HAPPEN! They are banned from this house aru! NO THEY ARE BANNED FROM YOUR DAMN EXISTANCE, HONG KONG! THE NERVE ARU!" I yelled furiously, seeing red. I threw my chopsticks at Hong Kong who dodged them easily. I got up towards him and he stood up wordlessly. I fisted the top of his shirt, pulling him down to eye level. The height difference in this attempt to threaten him pissed me off even more. I stomped on his foot. He flinched in pain, but stayed expressionless.

"Sorry," He muttered so softly I wasn't sure I heard him. I let go of him and my arms swung helplessly by my sides.

-"I'm sorry for a lot for China."-

"That's all you have to say aru?" My eyes got hot and watery. It wasn't fair aru. Nothing was fair. I tried to calm myself but everything that happened to me today just crashed down on me. It had been a long day.

"Everyone clear the table aru," I said as calmly as I could, as I walked out of the room. Belarus's hand brushed against for arm lightly but I shrugged her off.

I went upstairs to my bedroom and slam the door after me and sank to the floor. Did anyone not care about what I said anymore? It seemed as if no one did. It wasn't fair aru. I had a slight sense of déjà vu. Russia would knock on my door, I would think it was an illusion, it would turn out not to be, and then we would have tea together because he said so himself, he enjoyed my company.

So I waited and waited. Tears trickling down my cheeks silently as I hugged my knee's closer to myself, realizing that no matter how much I waited, he would never come.

The next morning I woke up with a sore neck and on the floor with gritty eyes. My bruises throbbed painfully and my arm stung. I hadn't bothered replacing the bandage before going to sleep. I washed my face, bandaged my arm, and masked my face of any true emotion I felt inside and went downstairs.

Belarus had probably left at night. Everyone kept a 5 foot radius from me, and didn't say a word as I walked past them, though I managed to give Korea a big smack on the head before heading out. I went and took care of everything; people to fix and rebuild my kitchen, grocery shopping, ordering new appliances, and everyday errands. I came back a little past 2 with lunch and Belarus was back.

"Food!" Korea cheered, digging in. Everyone took generous helpings. Belarus sat next to me, quiet. Not the eerie quiet but more of a thoughtful quiet. It gave me chills nonetheless.

Everyone ate quickly and Japan helped me clear the table. Everyone was about to disperse.

"Japan," Belarus said his name loudly. Japan flinched and jumped slightly in surprise. Everyone froze at her directness, "Japan will be perfect,"

"Perfect for what aru?" I asked suspiciously. Japan's gentle eyes showed unmasked alarm as he started collecting the plates.

"You boyfriend," She replied, a devious smile on her face. The plates Japan were carried clattered to the table loudly. Everyone's jaw dropped.
