Hey, everyone! Mighty here with a new story! Now, unknown tale is almost done Beta-reading, so I'll post the modified chapters soon. Talking about that story, I still need some OCs! If you have one, send one to me by PM or review! I have a writer's block for the midnight game, but I'll try to finish it before Halloween or at Halloween because, well, it's a bit Halloween-y :p.

So, back to this story. I had a quick talk with someone on deviantart and it gave me a boost to write this story! It won't follow the original game as closely as "The mansion in the woods", but it's still a rewrite :p. So, enjoy this v1 rewrite!

Wrong place, wrong moment

Chapter 1: A friday afternoon

Hiroshi verified for the fourth time if he had everything in his bag for the week-end. He didn't have a lot of homework, but he wanted to do them before as fast as possible so he could be sure he was done with everything. He sighed and crossed his arms. If he had known Kazuya would be that slow, he would've started his math homework. Hiroshi looked down at his bag and back at the corridor where Kazuya was supposed to come out of. He could make his homework now. He took out his notebook and his manual that he opened at the good page and started doing the exercises.

When he finished the first exercise, he saw some movement by the corner of his eye. He looked up from his manual and spotted Kazuya walking down the small hallway. Hiroshi waved and put his things away.

"What took you so long?" he asked to his friend.

Kazuya removed his elastic and remade his ponytail.

"I had an exam so I had to finish it before I left," he answered.

"Math?"

"Yeah, it's not always easy for me, you know."

"But you never want me to explain the things to you…"

"But I have to get it by myself!"

Hiroshi rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"Let's get going," he said.

Kazuya nodded and they exited the building.

"I heard they remove your copy right at the end of class, done or not, at high school," pointed out Hiroshi.

"…I don't want to go to high school anymore…" was Kazuya's only reply.

Hiroshi didn't have any difficulties at school and finished any exams after thirty minutes at most, unless it was a ministry exam, which could last three periods or more. Kazuya was a slow one, though. He couldn't finish an exam before the end of class and had difficulty understanding what he was taught, but he refused to get explanations from someone else than the teacher for a reason Hiroshi never understood. At least, he put a lot of efforts in his work, and that was the most important.

While they walked, Kazuya reached in his bag and got out a small box enveloped in a blue paper. Hiroshi looked at it curiously.

"It's your present," said Kazuya, as to answer his 'what's that' look.

"I know, but weren't you going to give it to me at home?"

"I think you should open it now, actually."

Hiroshi took the present and used his fingernail to have a grip and tear the blue wrapping away. Once he was done opening his present, he wasn't able to say a word for a good ten seconds.

"…Platinum?" He finally let out, "Pre-orders aren't even opened yet! How did you get it?"

Kazuya only giggled.

"Professional's secret," he answered.

Hiroshi smiled.

"Thank you! We have to try it tonight!"

"Agreed!"

Obviously, there was no card coming with the present. Odd for almost everyone, but normal for Hiroshi. Kazuya didn't really like written communication; he preferred talking. It was weird to say, because he was also very shy and had difficulty talking to people who weren't close friends. The boys continued walking toward Hiroshi's house. It was one or two streets away now. Kazuya lived close to the school too, but he had to exit through the back door, the other way.

They turned in a rather large alley, but stopped in their tracks. There was a closed fence closing the way.

"Looks like they closed it for summer," said Hiroshi, "we'll have to take the detour, come on."

They got out of the alley and walked to their left. They turned a corner and spotted four teens forming a square having a random discussion. One of them looked their way. Hiroshi pulled Kazuya back out of their field of view.

"Ugh… not them…" let out Hiroshi.

"Who?" replied Kazuya, who barely saw some human forms.

"I thought they were done with me…" continued Hiroshi as if he never heard his friend.

"Well, maybe they're just, you know, hanging out."

"Doubt it."

Kazuya looked away for a moment.

"Well, we can always take another detour, right?" he said after a couple of seconds.

"Yeah, let's go."

He then realized something.

"Oh, wait, we have to cross that street."

Hiroshi glanced at the four and his eyes met with one of theirs.

"Hey! Look who's back!" shouted one of them.

"No time to think, come on!" exclaimed Hiroshi, grabbing Kazuya's hand to guide him across the street.

They turned a couple of corners, but stopped right in their tracks when they arrived face-to-face with the only girl of the gang and a strong-looking boy with a bold silver forelock in his black hair.

"Gotcha," Hiroshi heard in his left ear.

He quickly turned to see the red-haired guy with the slightly smaller teen with spiky hair behind him holding Kazuya. He didn't have time to make a move before the guy with the silver lock grabbed his arms and brought them to his back violently.

"Hold 'im tight, Ryota," said the tallest of the gang, the one with dark red hair tied in a ponytail while walking the two steps separating him from Hiroshi.

He looked down at him with a smirk and then threw a punch at him. Hiroshi grunted at the contact and winced at the throbbing coming right after. He tried to get away from Ryota, but it was no use.

"What do you want, Takuro?" asked Hiroshi in a half-challenging tone, "Can't you just take someone else already!?"

Takuro giggled.

"Nah, ya're too fun to play with…"

Takuro then spotted the gift wrapping sticking out of Kazuya's bag. He took it and showed it to Hiroshi.

"Oh, it's your birthday? Ya should've told me! I have a lil' gift for ya too! Let's take a walk."

Hiroshi made a violent move to free himself, but Ryota had a really strong grip. Takuro noticed that and walked in front of Kazuya before landing a punch on his jaw.

"Stop that!" exclaimed Hiroshi.

"Stop givin' a bad time to Ryota and we'll make a deal out of it."

Takuro took the lead and guided the other through a couple of streets and into the woods. They walked for what seemed to be forever. For a moment, Hiroshi thought they were only aimlessly walking, but when he saw Takuro's smirk, he immediately knew that the teen had a destination in mind. It took around an hour before they reached a glade. The view made both Hiroshi and Kazuya stare in awe.

A mansion stood tall in the middle of the glade. A faded dirt path led to its front door. The bricks and windows were covered by growing plants. Takuro took a couple of steps forward and the others followed him. He stood in front of the door silently for a couple of seconds and then raised his foot. He violently kicked the door that opened at the contact. Takuro smirked and turned around, looking down at Hiroshi.

"Ya guys do nothin' but play video games all day… Ya need to learn to have some real fun. Now, get in there!"

Takuro stepped in first, the girl going second, Ryota third, and the guy holding Kazuya last.

Yeah, I know, Ryota's hair is entirely silver, but I decided to do it differently. Why? Because I felt like it.

Here's the first chappie! It took me forever to write it! I took every two minutes I had to take my Ipod out and write it! At least now it's done! :D
I hope I'll be able to post more often. I think I should be fine at the beggining of November. That chapter was pretty short, I know, but beggining chapters are always short in my stories!
I'll try to draw the cover when I have some time. Yes, you read me, draw the cover. I'll try to make it look good (like my current profile pic or close to that), but if it doesn't work, I'll just put a random and vague pic like I always do!

So, please leave a review, it gives me a lot of motivation, and see you in the chapter!
