"Would you like to come with me?"

Hesitantly, she nodded her head 'yes,' making the small decision to trust this man which started the beginning of her unexpected adventure.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The girl wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in his scarf. The man widened his eyes in surprise but gave a small smile. He wrapped his arms to support the child and began to briskly walk off. He couldn't help but notice how cold the girl felt.

When they had gotten to the doors of the meeting, he set the girl down. She looked at him with wide eyes then meekly looked down.

"Thank you, Mr.Russia," she whispered. He nodded before taking her small hand in his and walking through the large double doors.

The first thing the girl noticed was the yelling. She never really liked yelling. Even after the accident...And the loud noise made her even more scared than she already was. She squealed and hid behind the tall man in the coat. Russia looked behind and tried to reassure her.

"Do not worry. They are not as bad as they seem." He picked the girl up and she clung onto him for dear life. He walked towards his assigned seat like nothing happened. While he was passing, everyone took note of him and the small girl in his arms.

All of the countries began to nervously glance at the two and lowered their shouting to low murmuring. Most worried for the child. No one knew where or how he got her. But, it was Russia, so there was no telling.

After the room had gone completely silent, America was the first one to speak up. "U-Uhh, dude! What's up with the kid?"

"She is with me, now."

"Ookay, but where did she come from?" The blonde asked trying not to upset the intimidating man.

"I found her by the park nearby here. She was under slide and seemed cold."

"WHAT??!!!!" half of the room exclaimed, mainly the ones who were slightly less terrified of the snowy country. Loud objections filled the conference room.

"You can't just steal a kid from the park!"

"What have you done, aru?!"

"This is, like, totally un-fabulous!"

"How the bloody hell did you even convince her to come with you?!"

"Ve~ Doitsu! La bambina piccola looks so cute!"

"Nein! Don't encourage him!"

"I have read many mangas rike this, but I have never seen it happen before (I'll let you guess who said what)."

The man only smiled at the chaos he had caused. The small girl whimpered in fear. The Russian began to stroke her hair gently.

"It's alright, little one."

A man with large eyebrows rubbed his temple. "Alright. Well, now that she's here, we need to turn her over to her parents."

The girl shot strait up. She looked up at the large man, her (e/c) eyes brimmed with tears.

"M-Mr.Russia. I can't go back. Mommy... and Daddy... they're not..." All of the countries were stunned. They had never heard her speak before. She began to cry in the man's jacket. The man held her closer to him.

"It is all right. You do not have to tell me if you do not want to." The girl shook her head furiously.

"Uhh uhh! I have to tell you!" She said. Russia was surprised. He had never once heard the girl raise her voice.

"We were at home," the girl started. "And mommy and daddy were home. Then, a-a man came in the house. There was a lot of shouting after that. He had something in his hand. It went-and it went 'bang!' He pointed it at daddy, and it went bang, and daddy fell. Then mommy started crying. S-she told me to run away. So I did. I ran away. And then I heard it go 'bang!'" She began to sob again. The whole room was horrified at her story.

"That's why you were at the park, love? That's where you ran away to?" She nodded her head in the man's shoulder.

She slowly began to calm down as the Russian stroked her hair.

"There, there, little one," he said.

"Werr then, we have to take to the porice. She's an orphan. She has to be turned over to chird services," Japan said. America reached out to the child, but stopped when a dark purple aura surrounded the two.

"You will not touch my little sunflower, da?" Alfred squeaked and hid behind a chair. The Russian looked down sweetly at the girl.

"I am more than capable of raising her on my own. She can come live with me! Isn't that right, little one?" The girl gasped and looked up.

"Really, Mr.Russia?!" He nodded his head 'yes.' Her face spread into a large grin as she laughed and hugged him even tighter.

"Thank you thank you thank you, Mr.Russia!" The Russian began to smile and laugh along with her,

Slowly, America leaned over to Great Britain.

"Do you think this will end well?" he whispered. His eyebrow twitched, and he walked off angrily mumbling something about 'stupid Americans' and 'personal space.'

"What?" America asked. He sighed.

"Still. Who knows what's gonna happen?"
