(We join our brave hero outside the cold, dark, deserted layer of the Hamada Brothers. What great evils maybe lurking inside its dark halls…?)

(5 hours until zero hour)

It was weird to see the Lucky Cat not open, normally the cute little cafe their aunt Cass own was always busy and alive with people. But now that Cass was out of town and the shop was close for a bit, but now it just looks…..Spooky. But I the great brave Fredrick Lee would never be scared of such things, even if what was waiting inside would make bravest man or woman run away. Not me, I the one true hero that has faced this monster before and lived to tell the tale.

Slowly I walked up the stairs to the side door that leads to main house. Raising my hand to knock on the faded green painted wood, I swallowed back my fear. "For my beloved…" I whispered out as I felt a bead of sweat ran down my cheek.

I knocked.

The loud noise echoed through the hollow walls, then silence. I stood there waiting as my body squirmed, uncomfortable. Then I hear it, the great beast steps speed through its layer coming to a stop at the 3 inch wooden door between it and I. The crawling as the handle turned, as I ready myself, for what I was about to do could put my life in grave danger.

The door opens

"Hey, Fred." Hiro said as he smirked up at me, leaning against the door frame. "If you're here to do the nasty with my brother, he is out at a meeting or something tonight. So you need to come back tomorrow, see ya." He finishes, laughing out load at what I was sure was my very red and embarrassed face.

I was about to say that wasn't it when the door was slam shut on my face, leaving me there still not sure what just happen.

I knocked again.

"Yo, I just said Tadashi is out Fred, I not trying to be rude but I was about to go out." The upset looking teenager sigh out at me. "So if you would excuse me…."

"Wait! I'm not here for Tadashi." I said, leaning forwards, putting my foot out to keep the door from shutting again. "I'm here for you little dude."

"Well I didn't know that big bro couldn't satisfy you…."

"What! No not like that…. I mean….uh…" I exclaimed.

"Why then? If you just want to hang out or something could we do it later, I have a bot fight to get to."

"I'm here to babysit you for tonight…." I said quickly hoping that he wouldn't hear it. "So what would you like to do? Play a game? Or how about we read some of the comics I brought over?" I asked smiling, holding up the plastic bag in my hand.

"…." Hiro stood there just staring at me with the most dead pan expression I have ever seen.

"Ok, no, then how about a movie…OUCH!" I yelled as the door was slam on my poor foot. "Ow...Ow….Owww…. Hiro! Stop slamming the door on my foot!"

"No fucking way, I'm having someone babysit ME!" He yelled back at me as he kept hitting me with the door. "So take your damn foot out of my door Fred and go away!"

"Please Dude! Ah… ouch! I can't your brother asked for me to….ouch! Damn it!" I shouted, trying to push against the teen to keep my foot from getting broken.

"I should care why again…" He hissed.

"Please! I didn't want to, but Tadashi asked…. If I don't watch you….." I pleaded with the very upset moody 16 years old. "Please just this once, Hiro! I will do anything!"

The door stop abusing my sore foot as Hiro pushes the door open, glaring at me with his arms cross with a look that could kill.

"Fine, I will let you "Babysit" me just for this one night." He said something in his expression shuttering. Like the anger being tucked away for later.

"Thank man! We will have fun tonight I promise."

"Oh yea…" He said calmly, as an evil smile cross his lips. "We sure will my dear babysitter."

Hiro stepped back and let me in, something in his eyes and the way he gave up so easily didn't feel right. But what could I do, it was this or upsetting Tadashi… my ass just hurt thinking about it.

As the door closed behind me and covered me in darkness, I feel Hiro's arm drape over my shoulder.

"So how about we play that game….Nerd?" He purred in my ear.

I Fredrick Lee the brave hero has fought his way into the beast's layer, but has he won or did I just become the pray?
