The Disappearance of Kiku Honda
A/N: Hi! Finally got some time on my hands because it's the weekend~! I'm soooo glad, you have no idea. I got my first review for this story! I was so happy 3 I'm glad you guys seem to like the story. As usual, I am ignoring my other story on this site to mess with this one, and this time I have a valid reason! I forgot where I put the binder for it, so until I find the binder, I'm putting that one on hold. Not that anyone would particularly mind... Oi, I might post pictures of some of the custom monsters I'm going to be doing (two of which are in this chapter~) on a different place, so that you all can get a visual of the kind of stuff I'm doing. I warn you, though, I only draw in pen. That's right, nothing in my monster pics would be in pencil first, it'll be completely from scratch and black and white (and creepy...). So, just leave a review if that would or wouldn't be something you would go for. Also, I do not like to do the A/Ns at the beginning; it's absolute torture doing it like this, but it seems to be a popular way to do it, so... :( I'm just gonna put up with it. Back to that creepy freaking house~!
Chapter 4:
Russia was steady as he headed toward the last unsearched room of what used to be Japan's home, England still in his arms as he concentrated. Russia stopped just in front of the door, turning toward the others, smiling.
"Huh? What's up with you, dude? Why are you just standing there, man?" America huffed, impatient as ever.
Russia giggled. "You are silly, Amerikan. I cannot open dhe door." Everyone but England looked at the Russian in confusion.
"Why not, aru?" China questioned. "Is it locked, aru? Do we need a key or something, aru?"
"Mm? No. We need no key." Russia kept smiling, seemingly unaware of the other nations' annoyance.
"Then why can't we go in, aru? Even if it WAS locked, that never stopped you from breaking into my house, aru. There should be nothing wrong with just opening the door, aru."
"Da, dhat's just it. I cannot open dhe door."
Germany sighed. "Vhe're asking vhy, Russland. Vhy can you not open zhe door?"
"Dhat's easy~! I'm holding England, da~?"
The other nations stared, looked at England in his arms, and back up to his face. In unison, the three all facepalmed.
"You... You could have just said that, aru." China sighed, feeling exhausted as if he was running a daycare. He maneuvered around Russia to open the door a crack, peeking in.
England suddenly gasped, feeling the evil energy rush out from the open door. "Wait, you bloody git, there's something-!" But he had been too late. China had already opened the door wide, revealing the most horrifying thing the Chinese man had ever seen in his life.
"RUUUUUUN!" China screamed, taking heed of his own words and booking it out of there like there were twin demons after him.
Oh, hey, there was.
No one but Germany looked back as they were running, and what he saw reminded him fiercely of his own bloody past. Coming after him were two girls in rotted school uniforms, the ends of their limbs gnawed off, revealing sharpened bone. They looked like their corpses had been there quite a bit of time. They were emaciated and the blood that stained them all over was dry and crusted. Germany could even see the wounds that had killed them: one had been hit in the head and probably killed instantly, but the other had a wound in her side that looked like it had festered for a while before she died. But the worst part was their faces.
They looked hysterically happy, which was something Germany had only seen on some of the victims of the deepest kind of madness, and their eyes were missing from their sockets.
Germany yelled, caught off guard by their appearance. "Heilige Scheiße, NEIN! NEIN, NEIN, NEIN, NEIN NEIN NEIN! WIR WERDEN ALLE STERBEN! LAUFEN WIE EIN MOTHERFUCKER!"
China had made it ouside, but the demons were catching up to the slowest of the bunch, America. "NOOOOO, DUDE! THIS CAN'T BE THE END FOR ME! NOT FOR THE HERO!" America screamed, running as hard as he could to the door. He saw Germany disappear into it, then Russia with his brother. "DON'T LEAVE THE HERO BEHIND, DUDES!" America did this awesome Indiana Jones leap out the door, managing with his foot to make it slide closed after him. He scrambled to be beside the others as the monsters banged on the door, apparently trapped inside.
After a few minutes of horrified silence, the noise stopped, leaving the house with the sound of birds and the wind in the trees. Which was totally out of place and probably would have saved a lot of time in figuring out what was going on, but no one really cared about the wind at that moment.
"So... dhose dhings were wierd, da?" Russia broke the silence, raising an eyebrow.
"WIERD?! JUST WIERD?! Those things were bloody terrifying! As soon as China opened that bloody door, I could FEEL their hate. Bloody hell, they wanted to EAT US." England shivered, jumping out of Russia's arms. "By the way, your coat is way to bloody warm, Russia. I was sweating within thirty seconds of coming in contact with it."
"Da~! My home is cold, I must alvays wear dhis coat!" Russia smiled at the smaller Englishman.
China notices Germany's sad silence. "You okay, aru?" He whispered.
Germany started and glanced at the Asian. "Er..." Germany paused, inwardly taking stock of his feelings. He nodded. " J-Ja. I am allvhright."
America laughed nervously, addressing the group. "Eh heh, I dunno about you dudes, but I'm not going in there again. So what now, boss man?" He looked to Germany, who blinked in surprise.
"I... I do not know. China, is zhere somezing you realized from zhat house? Perhaps vhere to go next to look for Japan?" Germany asked the Chinese man.
"Actually... I grabbed this paper by accident when I started to run, aru. Maybe... maybe it will tell us where to go, aru...?" China winced as the entire group started to read over his shoulder. These European nations do not recognize personal space, aru!
"Ah, 'Come to Okinawa, Where Strange Treasures Lie Waiting', huh? Sounds like a bloody trap to me." England muttered. "I'm getting a wierd feeling again. I don't think it's a safe place to go... but at the same time... we need to bloody find Japan. We should probably go-America, you bloody wanker! Stop your bloody breathing in my ear!" England whipped around slapped his brother upside the head.
Germany and China started planning the route and costs for traveling to Okinawa, and England and America wrestled on the ground. Russia just couldn't stop smiling. It was like a family on one of America's shows, this group was. Germany would be the father, and China the mother. England and America would be like brothers that were only a year apart, always fighting. And Russia would be the oldest sibling, of course, always protecting and teasing the two youngers, and giving the parents hell. Russia found himself smiling naturally. It was strange to be a part of such a thing, but it was nice.
Da~! I hope that my sisters and I can one day have dhis sort of relationship... For now, dhough, I should fokus on looking for Japan. I wonder what kindh of family member he would be if he were here...? Russia looked to the sky, determined to find out once they saved Japan.
