Toshiya was sitting in a chair beside the couch, holding a bag of ice on Uruha's shoulder and wrist to keep the swelling down. The honey blonde smiled at his lover.
"We'll get out won't we?"
Toshiya rubbed the guitarist's cheek. "I'll get you out and get you to hospital."
"Why are we stuck in the first place? Why can't they get the door or windows open?"
The bassist looked at Reita, who was leaning against the wall, trying to catch his breath. He's been taking different objects to the windows to see if anything could break them. Kai has been trying to get the door knob and the hinges off, but they were rusted and too tight. Aoi and Ruki started looking in the rooms for a key to unlock the doors or windows.
"I'll try the back door." Kai said.
"I'll be right back." Reita muttered. They both walked out, leaving the couple alone.
"Toshi."
"Hmm?"
"Take me to the beach." Uruha sounded like a little kid.
The bassist laughed. "Alright. After we get out of here I'll take you to the beach."
"Promise."
"I promise."
Aoi emptied the last drawer of the dresser and sighed. This was the fifth room he's searched through and still no keys. He walked out to see Ruki coming out of another room.
"Anything?"
The singer shook head and they sighed, but continued to the next room. The raven was empting the bookshelf when he noticed it was getting dark in the room. He looked out the window to see the sun going down.
"Already." He mumbled. He hit the light switch, but it didn't come on, so he flicked it a few times before walking out. He went to the room the singer was in and tried the lights, but they didn't work either. He turned and saw Ruki dumping out a drawer from the dresser.
"Ru."
"What?"
"The light's aren't working."
They walked back into the living room to find Toshiya comforting Uruha.
"Where Kai and Rei?" Aoi asked.
"Kai went to see if he could get the back door open. I have no idea where Reita went." The bassist said.
"They need to get back here, we think the electricity is out."
"Seriously?" The drummer asked as he walked in.
"We couldn't get any of the lights to turn on." Ruki mumbled.
Toshiya grabbed the remote and tried to turn the tv on, but it didn't work. He walked over and tried the switch, but again, it didn't work. Ruki wrapped his arms around Kai's left arm.
"Reita." Aoi whispered. "Rei! Rei where are you?"
"Calm down, I'm right here." The blonde said, coming out of the dining room.
"Where the hell did you get that?" Kai asked, pointing at the sledge hammer in the blonde's hand.
"There was a supply closet in the kitchen. " He said walking to the window. "Now this should break it."
He took it in both hands, swung it back, and with all his strength, struck the window. A loud crack was heard as three long cracks spread across the window.
"Again!" Ruki shouted.
The blonde swung it again and again, cracking the window more. He held the hammer to catch his breath, but then a crackling noise caught their attention. They watched in awe as the cracks started disappearing, making the window look undamaged. Reita yelled out as he began swinging the hammer again. Hitting the window, then the wall and then he struck the door. He gasped for air as he dropped the hammer and fell to his knees. Aoi kneeled beside him and pulled him into a hug.
"There's no way out." The blonde whimpered.
Kai looked out the window and sighed. "We can't wonder around in the dark. We might as well go to bed and try again in the morning."
"You want to wait!" Toshiya shouted. "Uruha's hurt!"
"I know, but wondering aimlessly while we're so tired is stupid. We need to rest."
"No—"
"Toshi!" Uruha snapped. "Kai's right. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
"But—"
The honey blonde rubbed his boyfriend's cheek. "I'll be fine. So take me to a room and lay down with me."
The bassist shook his head and proceeded to pick his lover up as Aoi pulled Reita back to his feet.
"Where are we going?"
"Let's stay downstairs." Kai said.
"What the fuck is that?" Ruki screamed, pointing at the dining room door. They all looked to find a shadow forming and it opened its red eyes. Aoi screamed and rushed behind Kai with everyone else, well everyone except Reita. The blonde picked the sledge hammer back up and stepped back with the other's, but stayed in front.
"The hell are you?" The drummer's voice shook.
The shadow growled as it got closer.
"Stay back!" Reita yelled at it, but it continued to get closer. The bassist shook, but stood his ground and when the shadow got closer, he swung the hammer. Unfortunately, he forgot that ghosts could go through things, including hammers. It's eyes got wide as it suddenly grabbed Reita by the throat and lifted him into the air.
"Reita!" They all screamed.
The blonde dropped the hammer and grabbed the ghost's hand as he kicked to try to get free.
"Stop it!" Aoi screamed. The ghost tightened its grip. The raven saw the pain in his lover's face and it enraged him. He yelled as he ran forward and he jumped to tackle the ghost, but he went straight through the being. He looked up to see Reita's arms falling to his sides, his face was blood red, and his eyes were closing.
"Put him down! Stop! Stop it!" All of his friends screamed. Aoi jumped to his feet, grabbed the hammer and started swinging it through the ghost. The shadow paid no attention and started shaking the blonde in his hand.
"Fucking! Stop!" Aoi screamed at the top of his lungs falling to his knees. "Please! Please! Put him down!"
The ghost looked down at the raven and saw him crying. The ghost's eyes got wide and he quickly disappeared, letting the bassist fall to the floor. Aoi rushed to his lover and flipped him on his back as the other's gathered around him.
"Rei." Aoi whimpered. "Rei, wake up."
Kai kneeled beside him and moved the blonde's head back, then started CPR. They all watched in fear, hoping for him to be ok. Aoi held Reita's hand and begged for him to wake up. Suddenly, the blonde started coughing and everyone let out the breathes they were holding. The blonde swayed his head, gasping for air as the raven started kissing his forehead, but gasped when Reita closed his eyes again.
"Rei?" He cried and started shaking him. "Akira wake up!"
"Stop!" Kai shouted. He looked at his friend for a moment. "He's still breathing. He probably just passed out."
"Why?" Ruki whimpered. "Why did it hurt him?"
They all stayed quiet.
Aoi laid the blonde on the couch as Toshiya sat Uruha on a chair. Ruki stood watch as Kai and the bassist brought mattresses out to the living room, then made them up to sleep on. Aoi moved Reita to one and pulled the covers over them before pulling him into a tight hug. Toshiya helped the other guitarist on a mattress, then they laid down together. Finally, Kai and Ruki laid down on the third mattress. The drummer was hugging his lover as the blonde silently cried himself to sleep.
~~Later that night~~
The raven woke up and tried to go back to sleep, but noticed something missing, or someone. He felt around the mattress to find himself alone.
"Rei?" He whispered. He sat up and looked around the dark room, then got to his feet. "Reita, where are you?"
He walked around and noticed a light coming from down the hall. He slowly walked to it and found that it was the room that Ruki chained himself up in. He looked in and saw Reita staring at a painting, holding a knife to his own stomach.
"Rei, what are you doing?"
The blonde turned around and smiled as he stuffed the knife into the back of his pants. He swayed his hips as he walked to the raven and then he hugged the guitarist.
"Rei—"He was cut off when the blonde suddenly kissed him. Aoi closed his eyes as he happily kissed back. The blonde started rubbing against him, then his hands started roaming, so Aoi did the same. Reita unbuckled the raven's pants and slipped his hands in, grabbing the limp member. The guitarist moaned out, but started kissing again. The blonde pumped Aoi faster and pulled away from the kiss only to suck down the raven's neck. The guitarist grabbed Reita's face with both hands and pulled him back into a kiss. Reita moved a hand to Aoi's ass, but the raven pulled away.
"No way."
The blonde glared at him and that's when Aoi saw it. The bassist had red eyes. Reita's glare softened as he got closer for another kiss, but the raven pushed him back.
"You're not Reita."
The blonde smiled. "Now why would you say that?"
"Your eyes are different. Where's Rei?"
The blonde giggled. "He's gone and he's here."
"What?"
The other giggled again as he walked closer. "Who cares? You want his body anyways, you might as well take it now."
The raven pushed him back. "Tell me where Reita is!"
The blonde glared at him. "I'm here."
"You're not him! You're not Akira!"
"What's going on?"
They looked at the door to find Ruki, rubbing his eyes.
"Are the lights working now?"
"Ruki, would you please tell him that I'm Reita." The blonde said.
"Aoi he's Reita. What's going on?"
The bassist rolled his eyes. "He thinks I'm someone else."
"Look at his eyes, Ru! They're different."
The singer sighed. "Aoi, you're just tired. I'm going back to bed."
"Wait." He shouted stopping the singer. He looked back at the bassist. "What's my real name?"
The blonde's eyes got wide. "I-I'm not playing this stupid game."
"What is my name?"
"Just tell him so we can go back to sleep." Ruki yawned.
"It's…um…it's…"
"Rei?" The singer raised an eyebrow.
"You don't know." The raven said. "Tell me where Reita is. Now!"
The blonde stepped back as Ruki walked in. The singer stomped towards the other blonde, making walk back into the desk. "What the hell is going on?"
The bassist felt behind him and grabbed a glass globe. He sighed, then threw it at the singer, but Ruki barely dodged it. The blonde pulled the knife form the back of his pants and held it out as he slowly walked towards the shorter man, making him step back. Aoi pulled Ruki behind him and stood in front of the knife.
"Why are you doing this?" The raven asked.
The blonde just yelled as he plunged forward, but Aoi jumped out of the way and pulled Ruki with him. The bassist started swinging his knife at them until they split apart, then he went after the singer.
"What's going on?" Kai asked as he walked in, but he gasped when he saw his lover being attacked. He quickly ran in and punched Reita, making him fall to the ground. The drummer pulled Ruki away and looked at him, then at the guitarist. "What the hell is going on?"
"We don't know!" The singer shouted. They looked at the blonde to find him completely still, so Kai walked over to check on his friend. The raven started walking over as the drummer got closer, then suddenly, the blonde popped up and swung the blade. The brunette jumped to the side and the blonde slashed across the painting still sitting the floor. His face went pale and he let out a horrific scream as he dropped the knife. He rubbed the painting before screaming again, then suddenly a black shadow shot out of his body and went through the ceiling. The three men stood in shock as the bassist fell to the side and the room got dark. Aoi gasped as he ran to Reita's body and picked it up.
"Rei?"
The other two walked closer and stood behind him watching.
The raven patted his lover's cheek. "Rei, wake up."
The blonde's face furrowed then his eyes opened a little. "Aoi?"
"Are you ok?"
"So tired." He whispered before passing out. The raven laid his lover back on the mattress in the living room as the other two laid back down as well. He covered them up again, pulled him into a tight hug, but he refused to sleep this time. He wouldn't let this happen again.
~~The next morning~~
Toshiya woke up to the sun in his eyes. He sat up, waking his lover in the process.
"Sorry." He mumbled. Uruha just smiled. "Are you hurting?"
"A little, but I'll live."
"Wake Kai up." Aoi mumbled.
They looked at the guitarist still laying down, then at each other and shrugged their shoulders. The bassist got up and shook the drummer, waking him.
"What?"He mumbled.
"Aoi told me to wake you."
The brunette sighed as sat up with a yawning Ruki. He looked over at their guitarist and remembered last night. He got off the mattress and walked to find him still holding the blonde.
"He'll wake up on his own." Aoi mumbled.
Kai shook his head. "We're awake now, so why don't you sleep. We'll watch over him and we'll wake you if something happens."
"But—"
"No buts. You're tired, so sleep."
"What's going on?" Uruha asked as he slowly sat up.
Kai sighed and waited for the raven to fall asleep before facing the other two.
Ruki told them about last night as Kai found a clothe to use as a sling for the honey blonde's arm.
"So you're saying, the ghost possessed him." Toshiya said as the drummer finished tying the sling.
"We think so."
"We have to get out of here." Uruha whimpered.
"Calm down." The drummer ordered. "We'll find a way out. Now there's got to be something about that room."
"The painting is defiantly important." Ruki said. "Maybe, the diary is too. I just skimmed through it you know. There could be something important in it."
"Hang on." Kai said, He walked out, but then came back with a piece of paper and a pencil. "The diary, the painting, and the master bedroom. Ok, what else?"
"The paintings, they look like Aoi." Toshiya said.
"We found the key to my shackle in there." Ruki said holding his still cuffed hand. "Maybe we could find another. I mean, we didn't get to look in that room yesterday."
"It attacked Reita." Uruha mumbled.
"Let's try not to think about that." The drummer muttered.
"No I mean, it attacked Reita. And it possessed him. Why? Why him? The paintings look like Aoi. Aoi loves Reita. All these things are happening in the master bedroom."
"What are you saying?"
"What if the ghost is the dead owner of this place? When he sees someone that looks like his wife or lover, he traps them and hurts whoever gets in his way."
They all looked at each other, then at the sleeping couple.
"What if he wants Aoi?" The honey blonde.
"But that means," Ruki whispered. "Reita's in the way. He had a knife on him last night and he was alone at first. What if that ghost is trying to kill Rei?"
They all looked to the ground in disbelief, but Kai raised his head, his face full of determination. "Then we'll just have to protect him. We're all going to get out of this place. Alive."
