Ah, I started on this chapter right after finishing the prologue. I'm watching the videos again, but this time I'm watching it at normal speed and not skipping scenes so that I can get to the next video. I'm sorry to say that the first parts of HetaOni aren't that interesting, but if I wanna do a story on it I'm going to have re-watch them again, aren't I?

Anyways, the identity of the OC and the other canon country that came with her shall be revealed in this chapter. Yes, that's right, there are now a total of six people at the beginning of the story when there were only four.

Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia. Only the OC!Country who shows up in this story.

Chapter One

It was a three hour walk from the World Summit, but the group finally reached the mansion some of the locals talked about from time to time. It was deserted; no one was living in it at the moment. No one knew how long the mansion had been there or who the former owners were. But there were rumours about it being haunted.

Which was what perked the interest of the five countries and a former nation who were now standing in front of said mansion. They were certainly a unique group with their skin tones and hair ranging in various shades and color. Three of them were European, while the other three were from Asia. Though the one that stood out the most was the albino; if his silver hair wasn't enough to attract stares, his red eyes certainly got their attention.

The mansion certainly played the role of being haunted. It's yellow paint seemed faded, probably because of the elements, and if one looked to the side of the mansion they would observe that some of the tiles had fallen onto the ground and broken into fragments.

And the deadened trees planted by the entrance really added to the atmosphere.

"Ve~ It's really here!" The brunet said as he gazed at the three story mansion with an impressed eye. It was certainly big! Why no one was living it was beyond his comprehension.

"I thought it was just a rumour..." Murmured the only dark haired asian man of the group. He was dressed in a white uniform and there was a katana strapped to his side. "I never thought we would actually find it."

"It has such a desolate feel... not bad." The albino smirked. Prussia may no longer be a nation, but that certainly did not prevent him from crashing the World Meetings declaring how awesome he was. Like Japan, he had also brought along his sword.

Being the no nonsense one of the group, Germany wasn't as impressed as the others. "I don't think it's very interesting, though."

He pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed; they had wasted more than four hours trying to find a supposedly haunted mansion the locals often spoke about. After getting lost several times as well as having some of the members of the group run off, they had finally found it.

The blond haired man was distracted from the oncoming headache when someone elbowed him hard in the side. He glanced over and that it was one of the two girls in their group. Her long black hair was tied back in a pony tail and her brown eyes gleamed with mischief. She was Vietnam; the big sister of the South East Asians. She decided to come as well when she heard that her younger 'sister' was going to tag along with them; partly because she was interested but also to ensure that the younger girl wouldn't be the only female in a group full of men.

She was very protective when it came to her siblings, but she was particularly protective of the 'sister' who came with them.

There was a smirk on her face and she was giving off the impression of knowing something that he didn't want her to know.

"Let me guess... you're scared?"

"No." He said flatly. "I just think it's a waste of time."

"Is Germany actually afraid of anything?" The lightly tanned girl standing next to Vietnam and peering over at the german with interest. She was the youngest of the group, appearing to be in her late teens. She represented half of the Republic of the Philippines, the other half being held by her protective twin brother. To avoid confusion between the two of them, she was referred to as Philia while her twin was addressed as Philip. Amusement sparkled in her eyes as she imagined what could scare the normally stoic man.

Vietnam grinned at him. "Of course he is! It's just that with the face he has on all the time, it's pretty hard to tell." She turned to the asian man. "What do you think Japan?"

"Ah..." His expression said that he did not want to be dragged into the conversation, but by the look one of his south east sisters was giving him, he wasn't going to be able to get out of it so easily. "He... it is very hard to tell what is on his mind sometimes."

Vietnam frowned. "That didn't answer the question."

Philia giggled. "You did ask him a pretty hard question though."

"Germany is a kind person, Philia!" The brunet was instantly next to the girl, arm around her shoulder. "Even though he always has a really scary look on his face~!"

"Well..." Her chocolate brown eyes sparkled with amusement and there was a glint of mischief in them. "Until it's time for your training! Then you're usually running off claiming how mean he is, Italy!"

"Veh~"

"..." Germany just rubbed the bridge of his nose. Oh yes, he could already feel the headache coming on.

"Er..." Japan spoke over the silence that came over the group. "Can we just look at it from outside and then go back?"

"Are you kidding me?" Vietnam through him a sharp look. "After all the trouble that we went through to look for this place, you want to leave already?"

"Veh? She's right!" Italy clenched his fists together as a determined look crossed his face. "C'mon! Let's just go in for a little while!"

Japan looked unsure as to whether he should give into the two countries' demands. Prussia seemed eager to go in while Germany did not share his brother's enthusiasm.

Philia, on the other hand, looked positively mortified at the thought of having to enter the mansion. What if it actually WAS haunted? The others couldn't see things like she did. Only her brother, England and Norway shared her sight. But not wanting to bring up the topic (she would most likely have to face Prussia's relentless teasing), she gulped and swallowed down her fear.

"The hell are you waiting for?" Prussia moved towards the door. "Fine! I, the Awesome Prussia, shall enter first!"

He turned the handle and the door creaked open. Ignoring the fact that the door had just swung open, he strolled right in as if he owned the mansion in the first place. The others immediately followed him in, save for two, who glanced at each other with weary eyes before going in as well.

XXXX

"How many more times are we going to go through with this?"

"As many times as necessary. Until we can get them all out alive."

"Even if it costs us our lives, right?"

XXXX

"It's cleaner than I thought." Italy murmured.

They were all in the foyer, trying to get an impression of the place through the entrance before exploring the rest of the place. The others agreed; for a place that was supposedly abandoned and haunted, it was certainly clean. The floors were polished and there wasn't a layer of dust or at least a sign of the building being uninhabited for a long time. Maybe someone recently had been in the area before them? Though it wouldn't make sense as to why they would clean and tidy the place up.

"Can we go now?" Germany sighed. He was eager to leave before night fall; it was more difficult to navigate in the dark, especially if it was likely that they would get attacked by some wild animal.

"What's the matter, West?" Prussia leered at his brother. "You scared?"

Before Germany could protest against his brother's unjust accusation, the sound of something breaking in another room of the household interrupted him. Despite all the training regimens he went through over the years, the nation jumped about a foot into the air.

"...We should go now." He repeated, ignoring everyone's stares.

Now that they were inside, Japan's interest peaked. Instead of making him nervous, the sound of breaking china (not the country who wanted him to call him onii-chan) served to interest him even further.

"Oh, don't be silly." Japan gave his friend an amused look, walking towards the direction of where the noise had come from. "I do not think ghosts exist. Where is your common sense?"

"He left it outside." Vietnam smiled at the blond haired man. He coughed and looked away, his cheeks tinging pink.

"Be careful Japan!" Prussia shouted after him.

"I know. I'll just go see what happened. I'll be right back." With a bow, he departed from the others.

Footsteps pounded after him and the youngest member of their group of six fell into step with him. " Wait, I'm coming with you!" Philia declared, even though her voice sounded a bit hesistant.

"But I am just going to see-"

He was cut off by Philia shaking her head. "I'm still going!"

Apparently, his younger southeast asian sister was not going to take no for an answer judging by the sheer stubborn determination on her face. Japan stared at her for a few seconds; had she always had that kind of expression? Funny, he couldn't remember seeing that kind of face from her. Not even when he had captured her and her brother during World War II and held them prisoner until he had been forced to surrender to America.

He had definitely seen it on her brother though. But it should be noted that he was the more aggressive of the two.

Japan shook his head as if to clear his thoughts. World War II was not a pleasant memory for him and he was sure it was an even more unpleasant memory for Philia.

"Alright then." The older nation conceded. "Let us go together."

The first door they came across was locked so they tried the door that was at the very end of the hallway. It was unlocked, so they were able to step inside and explore. It was a pretty big kitchen as not only did it fit a ridiculously big table, but all the necessities of a kitchen. There were also two couches and a television in the room.

"The kitchen's pretty modern." Philia said as she swiped the table top with her finger to see if there was dust on it. Nothing came off on her finger and she frowned. The house was beginning to look less and less abandoned.

"Yes." Japan was frowning as well as he examined the refrigerator. It was a model that was several years old, but it appeared to be in top working condition. "Ah, here's the source of our noise."

He bent down and observed the shattered fragments of a plate. He fingered the broken pieces, taking great care not to cut his fingers open. A shadow fell over him as Philia peered over his shoulder to see what he had found.

"...how did the plate fall?" She finally asked.

The frown on Japan's normally impassive face deepened. She was right; it was unusual for a plate to just suddenly break in a house that hadn't been inhabited for ages. In fact, there was no reason as to why the plate should have broke into pieces unless there was someone else in the house with them.

Which was not a comforting thought at all.

"Maybe we should go check on the others...?" Philia said, now looking extremely uncomfortable.

"Yes." He stood up and placed a hand over the hilt of his katana. "We should head back now."

XXXX

"They're not here..." Philia murmured, her head swiveling back in forth, eyes wide.

The two asians had returned to the foyer only to find it empty. If a plate just breaking for no particular reason had made her nervous, then the fact that their friends were no longer waiting for them by the entrance did nothing to quell the unease that she was feeling.

Japan felt uneasy as well, but he had a logical reason as to why they were no longer waiting for them to return. "Did they leave after all?"

He glanced over at Philia who only shrugged in uncertainty. She didn't think that was the case.

"...how regrettable." He sighed before twisting the handle of the door they had entered through. However, the door knob didn't turn.

"What's wrong?" His companion asked as she realized that something was amiss.

"That's strange." Japan said as he tried to turn the handle again. "The door is locked."

XXXX

"We failed again..."

"Yes... we lost..."

"Turn... it back...?"

"...Yes..."

Yay! I'm finally done!
