Originally a HetaCapitolsxAoOni crossover fic. (couldn't find AoOni or HetaOni) It kind of follows the HetaOni storyline but with the capitols. As it goes on it spirals very far from the storyline.
If we lived in the Oni world...
"It's really here!" Exclaimed Rome, looking animatedly at the mansion. It was old, creepy and we had heard so many rumors of people entering this mansion and never coming out. People even believed that a monster lived there. Of course it was just a rumor and I wasn't scared at all.
"G-guys, C-c-can we p-please go home? E-even Tokyo is s-shaking" London stuttered poining at me with one hand and pushing her glasses up the bridge of her nose with the other.
"London. Shut up. Just please, shut up" I said, ready to slap her. Damn, how did she know I was scared!
"Let's go in!~" Rome said starting for the door and then she opened it. We all followed her inside. Well I had to drag London in but we entered the house. The door shut behind us with a eerie, creaking noise. That should have warned me.
The house was very clean, there wasn't even a speck of dust. The floor was wood and there was a hallway leading up and a hallway leading to our left and our right. There was a set of stairs by the right hallway.
"Yay, we went in. We're brave. Can we go home now?" London asked.
"Okay, fine we'll go ho-" I started to say but was interruppted by a sharp nose that sounded as though something was shattered. London screamed, Rome jumped, I hid behind London. "I'll go see what that was." Before anyone could object I zipped down the hall. I passed a door but it was locked. There was a kitchen. It had a pantry at the far end (also locked) and some shelves that had some very well beyond expired food. There was a plate that had fallen off a dishrack. I grabbed a shard, careful not to harm myself, and started back towards the others. I reached the end of the hall and found something that almost tempted me to unsheath my katana and fillet someone: they were gone.
If those three thought it was funny to abandon me or hide outside and scare me someone was going to pay dearly: with their head! I ran to the door and tried to open it. It was locked. Locked! Deciding I would try the bottom floor first I walked around. I went to the back first, there was a hallway that had a locked door. There was also a tatami room that featured many suits of armor. Inside a red box on the floor I found a note " fix the toilet, and the piano, place the first aid kit in the drawer on the second floor bedroom" It read. Helpful. I walked back into the foyer and over to the left-side hallway. There was a locked door. I didn't trust the cold breeze I felt from coming under the door and moved on. Nonplussed, I continued down the hall. I stopped short at what I saw. Some odd creature that was stark naked, a mottled (and quite ugly) gray color with a head at least three times the size of the body stood in the doorway at the end of the hall. It's back was turned to me but I didn't want to know what would happen if I made a sound. It walked in the door and shut it. I breathed a quick sigh of relief. What in the hell was that? I thought. I was tempted to walk up to the door, open it, and bust some heads. But the logical side of me won over and I went into the side door. It was an ordinary bathroom. The toiliet seemed fine, but I wasn't going to deny that something was off about it. There was a gold rimmed mirror caked in so much dust I could barely see myself and empty cabinets. I made a beeline for the stairs after that.
Once up I almost stepped on something. London's glasses were sitting at the top if the stairs. They weren't broken so I picked them up and pocketed them. There was only one door open on the whole floor. Behind a white curtain on the far left side of the room I heard someone jump when I opened the door. I could only see a pair of gorgeous black ankle boots and fairly tan ankles. I knew those feet. I opened the curtain. London cringed at the light. "Please don't eat me! I taste just as bad as my cooking!" she pleaded, shaking like a leaf.
"Rondini-chan, It's me" I said softly. Something had scared the crap out of her. Probably what I saw earlier.
"Don't try to fool me- wait. There's only one person who calls me Rondini-chan" she said opening her eyes and looking at me. Finally. "Tokyo! You're okay! Where's Rome?" She said in one breath.
"Yes. I'm okay. I wouldn't worry about Rome. I know she has her pot with her and anyone willing to mess with her, is gonna be sorry" I assured her. "By the way, I found these." I gave her her glasses.
"Thanks" she said, but she was still shaking.
"Do you want me to get you a drink? You look... shaken" I said. She nodded.
"Thanks. I would very much appreciate it." London replied. After I made certain she would be alright, (she was muttering something about a feeling of things having been consumed) I shut the door. I hoped I wouldn't run into that thing again. Despite that I had promised to find water for London, so I headed down the stairs.
