A/N: Just as a note, the brothers might be OOC due to the odd situation they're put in, and since this is my first ever published brothers conflict fanfic, there are bound to be inaccuracies, in which I apologize in advance for. Also, this is based on the nico nico Hetalia fangame Licantropo, so credit for the story goes to 惟刀維月(Itou Itsuki) from nico nico and the English translation to Autumnflower1991 on dA!

Chapter 1

"Hey, hurry up you guys! The sun's gonna rise before we even get there if you keep walking at that pace!"

Tsubaki's voice roared from over the hill, echoing into the far distances of the dark night sky littered with glittering stars and windy fields, with leaves of various shades of red and orange that were blowing around and about. Lamps brightly lit up the stone paved path, all lined up in a single file that stretched from end to end. Trees towered over the road, its shadows threatening to engulf whatever glimpse of light was left, accompanied by the shrubs that were acting as a barrier against the outgrowing trees.

Several men were tirelessly making their way towards the source of the booming voice, their chests heavily heaving and their postures almost limping. Some of them would even potentially scare others with the way they're walking and their costumes in the dark.

"Come on Maa-kun! What if Tsukkun is right?" Wataru shouted, his hands covering his mouth to form a sort of megaphone.

"T…That's not possible…it's only 7 pm…unless Tsubaki didn't check…the distance between our apartment…and this so-called haunted mansion…" Ukyo said breathlessly, pausing for a minute to regain some air in his lungs.

Fuuto groaned and threw his arms up in the air, swinging his hooked hand around and his expression contorted in disgust, "It feels like we've been walking for hours on end! Why couldn't we just use our cars or something?!"

"It's more fun as a family this way! Plus, I think we're pretty close to the place!" Tsubaki pointed his lantern towards the path that seemingly went on forever ahead, causing many groans to erupt.

"Aaah!" Yuusuke cried out in rage, "What were we thinking listening to you?! I can't believe you even managed to convince every single one of us to come along to this…this thing!"

"Getting angry and wanting to kill Tsubaki would only make this longer; let's just hurry up and get this over with so we can go back home." Natsume huffed, wiping sweat off his brow with his large, grey and furry wolf paws.

Mumbles of exasperation and whines echoed within the group; one could swear they heard a muffled sob somewhere. Nonetheless, the brothers continue on, eventually reaching the top of the grassy hill and dragging themselves forward onto the pavement ahead.

Trailing down the road, the flora began to seemingly grow thicker, almost to a point where it was as if a dense fog hung over the boys. This caused panic in some of them to arise, what with Masaomi immediately using his body as a human shield for Wataru, whom was protesting against the protection. Seemingly unfamiliar creatures roamed about as well, its sounds ranging from soft chirps to low growls, and eyes that were piercing its gaze onto the only human men that were trekking through the pathway, attempting to send cold shivers down their spines.

"Tsuba-chan…don't you think we should turn back?" Kaname stopped in his tracks. "I'm sure we can all live without having to see this mansion; maybe we can just have our own tiny Halloween party instead."

Tsubaki had stopped as well, his shoulders slumped. He sighed; perhaps they were getting further away from the mansion instead, having run around in circles for nothing. It was only a matter of time until everyone would end up walking a full marathon until sunrise, and still end up empty-handed; it was the last thing Tsubaki wanted, especially when all of the brothers were finally able to get some time off and get together as a family.

But just as Tsubaki was about to declare his defeat, a flash of white blinded all of the brothers for a split second, and thunder roared monstrously, startling everyone. The sky then began to pour heavily, drenching everything and everyone; its droplets harshly echoing against the stone pavement.

"See, you idiot seiyuu?! All the more reason to go back home!" Fuuto growled, attempting to cover himself with both of his hands over his head.

"We've been walking for quite a bit though...I don't think we'll be able to make it back home safely in this kind of weather." Azusa said, covering himself as well.

"There's…a mansion over there— is it the one Tsubaki-niisan talked about?" Louis gestured his pitchfork towards the monstrous residence that was just a couple of steps away from where they were. Everyone took a good second to look at it, then back at Tsubaki.

"It's…not, the one I wanted all of us to visit had this really cool pumpkin patch in the front yard." Tsubaki's expression was laced with confusion.

"Well, whatever mansion that is, let's just go and see if we can stay there for the night—hopefully the owners are kind enough to let us in." Masaomi ushered all of his brothers to the large home ahead, to which they all wordlessly agreed and followed.

It wasn't long after they trudged through the damp forest-like area out into a crossroad, taking a turn to the left, and faced the intimidating manor that stood proud and tall before them.

It had a Victorian charm to it, protected by black-colored gates that were in the shape of spears, lined up neatly in a row encircling the residence. Weathered oak made up the bulk of the mansion, complimented with its black tiled roof with odd small spears as its accessory. Arched windows were scattered about, visibly dusty, yet a glimpse of light could be seen from the inside. Although, light was scarce on the front porch. Hanging rustic lamps swung back and forth in a rough motion.

The boys took a step forward onto the porch, several startled by the creaking floorboards. The two eldest brothers stood at the very front of the massive door, with both of them exchanging hesitant glances; the former being the one to knock using the large, golden door ring with a lion head on it.

...No response.

Masaomi took the ring in his palm again, and knocked even harder against the door.

…Still nothing.

"Maybe the owners are not home?" Iori suggested. Everyone looked at one another in confusion, mixed in with frustration.

"But the lights are on inside!" Subaru argued in irritation. "Can't we just go inside? We can't stay here all night long!" He was practically shivering from the cold winds blowing about and the rain water soaking into his shirt.

"But we can't just barge into someone's home." Azusa countered, his entire body shaking as well.

"Subaru has a point though—I'm sure the thirteen of us won't make that big of a mess while we're inside. Plus, we're only staying for the night and nothing more." Hikaru knew that wasn't exactly the truth, but he was getting slightly desperate himself as well, considering he only wore a V-neck sleeveless dress with maroon heels; his only way of warming himself being his snake-hair extensions.

"Well…it'd be troublesome if all of us ended up with a cold the next morning, so I suppose it's alright just for tonight." Masaomi proceeded to push the door open, along with Ukyo whom aided him in doing so.

Behind the doors revealed a grand foyer; a large golden chandelier lit with small candles hanging from above. The stairs were covered in a velvet carpet with golden accents, greeting the brothers with wide open wooden floorboards. Paintings of various items and people and candles decorated the walls that were colored in a warm shade of brown.

"…This is oddly nice for a mansion that looked like it was crumbling to pieces…" Natsume mused, taking in the astonishing interior design with his mouth slightly open as he twisted and turned his head around.

"You tell me…" Tsubaki was just as amazed, kneeling down to get a closer look at a tiny, yet carefully sculpted statue of a female made out of pure marble as one of the displays by the left side of the stairs.

"Alright, alright we get how great this place looks—can we just go and find some rooms to sleep in? I'm exhausted, and as an idol I need my beauty rest." Fuuto grumbled aloud, rolling his eyes as he tapped his foot against the floor impatiently.

"Fuuto's right," Ukyo came walking down from the stairs, surprising everyone in the room, "Staying up late would also cause us to have a cold, so we all have to get some sleep right now."

"E-eh? Where did you- how did you- " Kaname started, but was cut off by Ukyo.

"You simply didn't pay enough attention." The blonde brother pushed his glasses up to the bridge of his nose, letting out a small sigh, "Anyways, it seems there are enough rooms for all of us to stay in, each having two beds. I will be the one to assign whom you get to sleep with, and no complaints, because I'm very sure we're all too tired and sore at this point to fight over which rooms we want and whom we want to sleep with."

Everyone exchanged glances, signaling Ukyo that they all agreed—or rather, didn't want to push his buttons any further.

Ukyo then proceeded, "Alright. So, all the rooms I will mention are from the far left end of the hallway on the second floor all the way to the right end. Masaomi and Wataru will be in room 201, Kaname and Yuusuke will be in room 202, Hikaru and Louis will be in room 203, the triplets will be in room 204, Iori and Fuuto will be in room 205 and Subaru and I will be in room 206. Is that clear?"

Everyone nodded, and walked sluggishly towards their assigned rooms—except for Ukyo. He made sure all of his brothers did as they were told, so he stayed behind for a bit. After waiting for a few minutes after they went into their rooms, he proceeded to walk towards to his own.

Opening the door, the room was rather cozy, warmly lit by shades of yellow light reflected by maroon walls. Twin beds were laid in the middle of the space, clean, white sheets and soft pillows in each of them. Ukyo had noticed Subaru already took the accessories of his Halloween costume off, and already in bed, but was startled by the elder brother that opened the door.

"Sorry." Ukyo whispered, feeling bad for waking his already exhausted brother.

"Mm." Subaru whispered back, too tired to give him a proper response. Then, just as Ukyo started to take his own accessories off, Subaru mumbled, "Good night, Kyo-nii."

Ukyo turned his head over to his little brother, and smiled warmly, "Good night."
