A/N : Sorry guys, I was stuck at home for the few days I wasn't updating, and there's no wifi. I thought I wouldn't survive. By the way, I've changed the genre of the story because I've realized, whatever I was writing was definitely not horror. I was rewatching the videos I've downloaded in my phone, but after a few rounds I was like 'fuck that shit' and wrote my own storyline. I hope you won't be too confused, but I'm a little confused. Ah, my head. I've been asked to portray the Sasagawa's sibling love, I can't even get romance right and you ask me to write about siblings. Family. No. Some one. HALP.
The lever...the damn lever...where was it? I'll put it here then, there!" :D
Warning : More OOC, altered storyline of HetaOni, so much confusion.
Disclaimer : I do not own the cover image either, it is found on Zerochan. I thought since it was tagged both 'Sawada Tsunayoshi' and 'North Italy', it'd fit.
Reviews :
StarLike Shadow : I had initially planned on disposing Yamamoto, but the when I asked the requester (is that even a word? ._.) about her opinion, she thought they should not die so quickly.
Poopies : You're here again! Poopies! I like how it sounds, after a couple of reviews I still like how it sounds. Poopies. :D You think it's action-packed? I think it's the opposite, actually. :/
Awesome Guest : ...mochi. The mochi. I...forgot about it. But whatever, there's not really anybody in KHR that fits the role of a...mochi. I can still improve? You mean I have to still improve, I don't like my own work. D:

~ Beginning of Chapter ~
The door swung open and hit the wall with a loud bang. Gokudera immediately loaded his Flame Arrow and loaded it with the sun cartridge. He turned to Yamamoto, "Right after I fire, you attack it."
The wall was cracked as the monster's claw clutched onto it. It poked its head in, and roared at the boys, spit flying around. Taking the chance, Gokudera aimed at its eyes and opened fire. It screeched and stumbled back, roughly shaking its head as if trying to ease the pain. Yamamoto dashed up afterwards, his sword in front of him, Kojirou charging in above him, rain flames surrounding his weapon, "Shajiku no Ame!"
The monster let out a high-pitched scream as the sword tore through its stomach, dark blood oozing out from the deep wound. Despite its wounds, however, it blindly broke into the room, clawing out for its foes. Gokudera leapt to the side, while Yamamoto backed away.
"Don't lure it in there, idiot!" Gokudera yelled at Yamamoto, and only then did the swordsman remember Haru, still hiding behind the bed they were now closing into. Uri hissed and leapt onto the creature's broad shoulders, clinging onto it to make it turn around. The moment the feline hopped off, Gokudera aimed his flame arrow at the monster and shut the skull's mouth. A strong blast of storm flames burst out of his weapon.
The monster decided to switch targets, and headed for Gokudera instead. Gokudera backed out of the room, the monster following close. Yamamoto exited the room behind the monster, and took the side opposite Gokudera, cornering the monster.
Gokudera loaded another sun cartridge and fired straight down along the creature's body, before escaping its grasp from a gap beside it. It roared and wheeled around, its swinging arm immediately chopped off by Yamamoto's sword as Yamamoto prepared his attack, "Shinotsuku Ame!"
The monster, almost ripped apart, fell onto the floor with a loud thud. The floor quaked as it landed, and there was a yelp from inside the room.
"Y-Yamamoto!" Gokudera was pointing at the monster. It was regenerating itself, whips of blood and flesh repatching with a wet sloppy sound, "Get in and we'll think about another plan!"
Gokudera dragged Yamamoto by the arm into the bedroom, slamming the door behind him. The door threatened to fall off its hinges, but they could not care much.
"We'll corner it once more like just now, but this time we'll both attack at the same time, alright?" Gokudera reloaded a rain tube ammunition into his Flame Arrow, "I suppose the rain flames in this will help at least a little in your attacks. I'll get Uri to distract it," the cat meowed beside them in understanding, "with Uri's agility she can escape before we attack." He released a lightning tube from one of his boxes and showed it to Yamamoto, "Right after you deliver your attacks you must back away; Flame Thunder is one of my strongest blows."
"Okay!" Yamamoto replied, too cheerfully for Gokudera's liking.
"Haru," Gokudera called out her name, instead of 'idiot' or 'woman' like he usually did, his voice hinting worry, "You alright? We'll come back for you later." He received a muffled 'no!' but he took it as a yes, "Let's go."
Yamamoto walked before Gokudera, and reached for the door knob. It rattled as he touched it, having its screws gone loose. Yamamoto withdrew his hand, and turned to look at Gokudera with a confused expression, "It's hot."
Gokudera's eyes widened as he stepped forward and pulled the door open, running out, "Juudaime!"
Yamamoto followed close, and came to face a complete mess before their eyes. Half the floorboards were smashed, and the iron bars of the staircase had already melted. Smoke and dust was still rolling out thickly, and the monster was nowhere to be seen. They walked along the remains of the floor at the stairs to take a closer look. What surprised them was an unconscious Kyoko, lying against the wall of the stairs.
"Kyoko-chan!" Haru had got out of hiding without them noticing, and was pushing her way to Kyoko. She held Kyoko's head and gently patted her cheeks, "Wake up, Kyoko-chan! What happened?"
Kyoko stirred, coughing dryly before opening her eyes. Before any of them could react, the girl shot up straight and looked around her with wide eyes, "Tsuna-kun!"
"Juudaime?" Gokudera shoved Yamamoto aside to get close to Kyoko, "You saw him?"
"Well, yes, he was fighting with the monster, and then, and then…" Kyoko held her head, trying to remember, "…blood… and Brother was-"
"Where is Juudaime?!" Gokudera raised his voice, and Yamamoto held both of his shoulders firmly, "Calm down, Gokudera!"
"Calm down? The hell! It's Juudaime we're talking about!" Gokudera was almost shaking now, his shoulders trembling, "The monster had probably gone after Juudaime, he must have saved us!"
"I-I don't know!" Kyoko was on the verge of breaking down crying. Haru hugged her protectively and glared at Gokudera, "Don't yell at Kyoko-chan like that! There's something very wrong with this place, so let's find Tsuna-san together and get out of here!"
Gokudera sighed, his shoulders slumped, and massaged his forehead with his fingers, "What the hell is on with this damn place?! Juudaime – what if he –"
"Maa, don't be like that, Gokudera!" Yamamoto patted Gokudera's shoulder as the latter visibly winced, "Let's go get senpai, and then we'll look for Tsuna, okay?"
"B-Brother?" Kyoko sounded surprised. The others gave her a confused look, and Yamamoto replied, "Of course! How could you forget? I'll go get him, and we'll go downstairs and take a look."
Yamamoto dismissed himself with a wave of his hand and headed for the room Ryohei was in. He knocked and opened the door without waiting for an answer, "Senpai?"
Ryohei stared at him, halfway bandaging his fists like he usually did, "Yamamoto! I thought you were going to find Octopus-head!" He then looked at the other three waiting at the doorstep, especially Gokudera who was muttering to himself, "You're extremely fast! Now we can go find Sawada like we planned just now. Kyoko didn't get hurt while following you, did she?" He studied Kyoko's quivering figure, "Kyoko!"
Ryohei went over to check his sister, sighing in relief as he only saw some dirt and a light scratch on her face, "You have to be extremely careful, no one wants a girl with a scar on her face, right?" He lifted a finger to brush across the healing scratch.
Tears overflowed and spilled down Kyoko's cheeks. She held her sibling's hand and began to sob. Everyone was shocked.
"Kyoko? What happened?!" Ryohei was frantically trying to calm his sister down. He welcomed her tackling embrace as she bawled, her talking unclear, "I thought...I thought you were -"
"You thought I died? You're extremely silly, Kyoko!" Ryohei tried laughing to cheer Kyoko up, and it effectively softened her crying. He ruffled her hair as she broke into a soft chuckle.
"Ah!" Yamamoto slapped a hand to his forehead, "I'm sorry, senpai, I think I forgot to bring you food!"
"Food?" Ryohei pulled himself from his sister and looked at Yamamoto.
"Food." Yamamoto repeated.
"Why food? We haven't find Sawada, we can go eat to the extreme at his place when we get out!" Ryohei squatted down in front of Kyoko, "I'll carry you, Kyoko. You look extremely exhausted."
"Let's go then!" Yamamoto grinned and turned to the door, only to see Gokudera and Haru staring at the wall. He walked over and poked his head between theirs and saw a lever, with a small note beside it : Up is Heaven, Middle is Earth, Down is Hell. The lever was fixed in the middle.
"We are now at Earth, huh," Gokudera rubbed his chin, "If we move the lever up maybe we'll move up..."
"We'll be crushed between the floor and the ceiling!" Haru flailed her arms.
"Oh, it works that way?" Yamamoto laughed, pushing the lever down before anyone could stop him, "Let's try Hell theeeeeeeen!" The moment the lever went down with a loud clunk, a trapdoor appeared below the oblivious boy. His happy voice echoed as he was sent down the hole.
Thud.
"Ow!"
"Idiot!" Gokudera shouted down the hatch, which was pitch black below, "We'll find a way to get to you, we can't risk jumping down like that!"
"Okay!" was Yamamoto's reply, "I'll check this floor out!"
"Don't go running around!" Before the boy below could answer the trap door slammed shut. Gokudera jumped.
Yamamoto rubbed his back. He had fell down face up before he could grasp onto anything. He blinked a few times to adapt to the dim lighting of the room.
The only source of light was from the barred windows at the corner of the room. There were shelves lined against the wall, and a white piano in the middle of the room. Yamamoto decided to check out the piano, a tad surprised to see colourful numbers written on the white keys.
"Is that how to play a piano?" Yamamoto pressed one of the keys that had a yellow 1 written on it. A crisp, high note rang through the silent room. He then looked for a yellow 2 and a 3 of the same colour. It was first a low note, then a middle C, "Apparently not." He laughed it off and wandered along the bookshelves.
Tracing his finger absent-mindedly along the books, one of them fell onto the floor. A piece of torn paper fluttered out of the open book. It had a red-bordered rectangle and a yellow-bordered one, "Is this like...a puzzle or something?" Yamamoto questioned out loud. He tucked the paper into his pocket, "Gokudera can figure it out!" He smiled trustingly and headed for the door.
As soon as he touched the knob, it rattled. Yamamoto took a step back, unsheathing his katana. Putting it in front of his body in a defensive pose, he continued to back away until where he assumed a safe distance from anyone, or anything, entering. The door creaked open, and he saw brown spiky hair, "Tsuna?!"

I shall stop here because it is time for me to leave this place. I like cafes with good wifi.
I'm sorry.
Do review please.
Hime-chan.
