"Well, bye guys! Tell me how it goes!" America smiled waving. Yami frowned, grabbed the back neck of America's coat a tried to push America through the door; but America was so afraid, he clanged to the edges of the door with his hands and feet like a scaredy-cat.

"We're not going in!" America cried.

"YES...WE...ARE!" Yami shouted, trying to push America in. He then felt Japan's body trying to help Yami with force. Then China joined, followed by England, Germany, France and Italy (he thought it was fun to do it anyway).

Russia smiled at the crowd as they were trying to push America through. Russia took about five or six large steps back and cried out:

"VODKA!"

"Oh, no, Russia, wait!" China cried, as Russia ran full speed to the line and—

CRASH!

Russia's thrust pushed everyone into the building and he landed on top of everyone. Everyone got up and looked around.

The inside of the house still looked beautifully decorated: dark and gothic with a broken chandelier dangling above their heads. Cobwebs and dust were blowing through the breeze like a pair of curtains. Marks were left on the walls where everything used to be, but none of the marks were left as evidence of missing people. Even in the rooms, mouldy bits of food were covered by cobwebs and spiders as though they wanted it all to themselves.

"Curiouser and curiouser..." Yami gasped.

"Now I wonder why I was worried," said Italy. "I'm safe whilst I'm with Germany."

"Stop that," Germany muttered.

"Ugh! Even indoors, it's still ug—"

"FRANCE, NO!" Everyone screamed.

"Je m'excuse," France apologized.

"We're gonna have to split up for clues," said Yami.

"But why here though?" China asked.

"Yeah, what has this got to do with Hikari?" England asked.

"According to the missing page of her dairy," Yami explained, "she was very intrigued by this place and wrote a report about it. She went in here during day time and survived."

"Impossible!" Japan exclaimed.

"NO WAY! You mean Hikari is a ghost?" America whimpered.

"OH, FOR GOODNESS SAKE, SHE'S NOT A GHOST!" Yami snapped. "You're just hallucinating!"

"Come now, take a deep breath," said England.

"Why?" America asked. "THIS PLACE IS LOADED WITH GH—"

"Say anything about ghosts one more time, and I swear I will kill you!" Yami snapped, covering America's mouth. After America gave a frightened nod of apology, Yami let go of his mouth and continued: "Anyway, Hikari also left some evidence here; a bracelet with a strange symbol on representing her clan."

"She has a clan?" China asked.

"This is almost stupid, I could use my pickaxe on her mountain," Russia grinned.

"That's enough," said Yami. "If we can get hold of her bracelet, we can use her DNA to track down her new location: Where she lives."

"Oh, is that all?" America asked.

"How would you be able to do that though?" Japan asked.

"I have a special power of Quintessence," Yami explained. "With it, I can use energy for anything, but I need to be careful. I can even use it as though I was some random machine working for you guys!"

"Well, that sounds simple..." England said.

"Duh! Otherwise it would be pointless!" France exclaimed.

"Oh shut up! You've made bad comments through-out this adventure!" England snapped.

Just then all the countries began to argue again, until Yami called out: "STOP IT RIGHT NOW! Since you folks can't work together as a team, I shall have to split you up. Say anything about the person...or country in this case...you don't like, and I shall instantly put you with him. Understand?"
