Shinigami-cat: Sorry for the lateness but here it is… I OWN NOTHING!

Welcome to the séance

Am I going insane?
My blood is boiling inside of my veins
An evil feeling attacks...(attacks)
My body is shaking, there's no turning back

'Your Betrayal' by Bullet for my Valentine

Arthur was lying on his bed looking up at the roof. Yesterday's events were still playing in his mind. Lovino strangling Gilbert and Matthew screaming his head off. Even Kiku telling him to keep quiet about what he had told him about Fever Lake and that song that they sang was just messed up. It was all a little disturbing really.

Suddenly Alfred and Matthew walked through Arthur's bedroom door. "You coming Iggy?" Asked Alfred with a smile on his face.

"What the bloody hell are you doing in my house?" Asked Arthur.

Matthew whispered something to Alfred. "Mattie says the door was open. You should lock it."

Arthur face palmed. His mother had forgotten to lock the door again. "So why are you here then?"

Alfred grinned. "You're going to Kiku's house to sleep over right?" Arthur nodded. "Well let's go!" Alfred grabbed Arthur's arm and dragged him out the door.

"WANKA!" Cried Arthur. "I haven't even packed!"

"No need." Said Alfred. "Kiku will lend you some stuff if you ask."

Arthur's eye twitched. 'I'm going to end up killing someone by the end of this day I just know it.'

"Seriously." Said Arthur. "How many houses are there like this?" They were standing outside Kiku's house and it looked like Feliciano's and Ludwig's house (but it was a traditional Japanese style). It was seriously starting to piss Arthur off.

Alfred grinned. "Only three; Feliciano's, Ludwig's and Kiku's house are this awesome. It's probably because their families have been here for years and years." Matthew quickly whispered something into Alfred's ear. "Oh right, thanks Mattie. They've been here since the gold rush."

Arthur hummed. 'That's when that plague happened.'

"Arthur, Alfred, Matthew hello!" Cried the cheery voice of Feliciano. He happily skipped up the path with his happy grin on his face. "Is Ludwig here yet?"

"Don't know." Said Alfred. "We just got here."

Feliciano beamed and walked up to the house and knocked on the door. Kiku answered. "Hello Feli kun. Please come in. Oh Arthur kun, Alfred kun and Matthew kun I didn't see you there. Please come in as well."

Everyone removed their shoes and walked inside. "Is Yao here Kiku?" Asked Alfred.

Kiku shook his head. "Yao san is working double shifts at the clinic today so he probably won't be back until later tonight."

"Is Ludwig here?" Asked Feliciano. Kiku nodded and directed him towards the kitchen.

"Alfred kun, Matthew kun please feel free to get yourself something to drink."

"Sweet!" Said Alfred as he walked off to the kitchen with Matthew. Kiku smiled slightly and turned to Arthur.

"How are you Arthur kun?"

Arthur shrugged. "I'm over my jet lag. Who's Yao?"

"My older cousin." Said Kiku. "When my parents died he became my legal guardian."

"Oh... sorry."

Kiku shook his head. "There is nothing to be sorry for Arthur kun. You were just curious... Curiosity is a very dangerous thing..." Kiku sighed and began to walk towards the kitchen. "Ask the wrong question at the wrong time and you could end up dead..."

Arthur was about to ask him what he was talking about when he got hit in the face with a cork. "WHAT THE BLOODY HELL?" Yelled Arthur.

Alfred laughed. "Sorry about that Iggy. Feliciano wanted me to open a wine bottle for cooking or something."

Feliciano giggled. "Right... cooking..."

Kiku sighed. "Please don't destroy my kitchen..."

Later that night they ended up playing truth or dare with the empty wine bottle (surprisingly they did use it for cooking and didn't get plastered). But soon it got boring and no one really cared anymore.

"Ve... I'm bored." Said Feliciano with a sigh. "I wanna do something fun..."

"I'll be back in a second." Said Kiku. He stood up and left the room. When He came back he had a glass cup, a board and a bunch of little cards that had letters on them. Arthur's jaw dropped.

"We can't do that." He said bluntly.

"Calm your farm." Said Alfred. "It's nothing bad. Right Mattie?" Matthew nodded in agreement.

"I thought we were going to do the one with the coin." Said Ludwig.

"Ve, it's easier to use a cup with more people." Said Feliciano with a smile. Kiku put the board down and set everything up, ready for a séance.

Arthur shook his head. "You must all be stupid." He said. "We can't do a bloody séance. What if we summon something we can't get rid of? Or what if you summon an evil spirit and it brakes the glass and tries to poses one of us?"

"We aren't trying to summon anything." Said Ludwig. "We're just..." He fell silent and so did everyone else. Suddenly Alfred's eyes lit up.

"Kiku do you have a mirror around here?" He asked. Kiku nodded and quickly got a mirror and handed it to Alfred. "Thanks Kiku. Anyway Arthur I'll tell you why we want to do a séance if you do the mirror dare." He passed Arthur the mirror. "Say Mary Skinner five times."

Arthur frowned. "Not Bloody Mary? Whatever." He had done this dare hundreds of times back home and sleep overs and just out of boredom. "Mary Skinner, Marry Skinner, Mary Skinner, Mary Skinner..." Arthur looked up and everyone was looking at him and holding their breath. "Mary Skinner." Nothing happened. Arthur put the mirror on the ground and glared at Alfred. "Are you going to tell me now?"

"Ve I wanna try!" Said Feliciano as he picked up the mirror. "Mary Skinner..."

Alfred laughed. "Okay... so since like forever people have been wondering off into the bushland and disappearing. We just want to ask Monica what happened to her... oh shit."

"Who's Monica?"

Ludwig cleared his throat. "Francis's younger sister. She disappeared three years ago and her body was never found."

"Damn." Said Arthur. "I didn't-"

CRACK!

Everyone looked at Feliciano. His back was turned them. He put the mirror down on the ground and walked over to a futon. "Ve... I'm tired." He said before pulling the covers over his head.

Ludwig sighed. "It is a bit late. We should all probably go to sleep."

"What?" Asked Alfred. "But what about the séance?" Matthew whispered something into Alfred's ear. "Fine Matthew." Alfred and Matthew stood up and walked over to the futon that they were sharing. Ludwig walked over to Feliciano to see if he was alright. So Arthur was left with Kiku to tidy up the things they were going to use for the séance.

Arthur picked up the mirror and had a look at the reflection and frowned. It was all warped and distorted. 'That's weird... It was fine when I used it before.' Arthur ran his finger along the back of the mirror and pulled back in pain. He looked down at what he had cut himself on and his eyes went wide. He had cut himself on a shard of broken glass... one that was missing from the cup that they were going to use for the séance. "Oh no."

Shinigami-cat: So in case you're wondering Monica is Seychelles... and I'll probably stop putting the song thing at the beginning unless I think it's really important. REVIEW!
