And so, the group split up into pairs and spread out. As the group was an odd number, Yami decided to go alone as he knew about team work and was capable on his own. Whilst he, England, America, France and Russia went upstairs, Germany, Italy, Japan and China explored downstairs.

Japan and China went down the hallway that was next to them for clues, whilst Germany and Italy explored the library. France and Russia went to the far right of the building to search and went into a room with a view of a wilted bird garden.

Meanwhile, Yami searched in almost every single room towards the back, whilst England and America searched the opposite side. They finally came into a weird bedroom where the walls were dull pink and ugly green.

"So, remind me what we're doing again?" America whimpered.

"We're searching for a bracelet," England sighed. "It holds clues to Hikari's whereabouts. You search over there, I'll go here." England began to search through boxes and drawers whilst America fidgeted.

He suddenly became alarmed when he noticed something weird; "I swear the walls are moving."

"Stop that America," England moaned. "Keep searching!"

"No, really! They're moving!" America freaked. "Everything's shrinking!"

"America, you're hallucinating!" England snapped. "Stop this non—OW!" As he got up, he strangely noticed that he somehow gained height. He looked at all the objects as they seemed to have shrunk too.

"Wait a moment..." England hesitated, thinking he was going crazy too. "It's not the walls...It's us! America, we're getting bigger!"

"NO! NOT THE GHOSTS! WHAT IS THIS, I DON'T EVEN—Wait, what?" America asked. "We're growing?"

"And there's not a lot of room in here!" England panicked. "This must be the mysterious curse!"

"NO! It can't be!" America panicked, sitting down with his head pressing against the ceiling.

"I wanted to die of tea poisoning!" England cried, getting his back squashed against America's.

"I wanted to die choking on food!" America cried. England turned his head slightly and pulled a face.

"Seriously?" he muttered.

Meanwhile, in the very long hallway, Japan and China were walking perfectly, until they both gave a sharp turn noticing they were having the same effect.

"The walls are shrinking!" China cried.

"Let's move!" Japan ordered, and the countries ran as fast as they could down the hall. Japan ran faster and went past China, finally seeing the exit and got through just in time. As he got up, he released it had happened to him as well. The room he was in was as pink as Russia's scarf, and very dull white. His head almost touched the ceiling.

"That's strange," Japan commented. "Either I've entered a doll's house or I've somehow gotten bigger...No that would be impossible!" Just then, he heard wimps and panic from China:

"J-Japan! Help me! I'M STUCK!" Japan kneeled down as he saw China with his left arm free trying to reach to him with tears in his eyes. His other arm was squashed by his body, as he filled all corners of the hall.

"Help me, please! I accidently tripped over and I couldn't get up on time and now I'm stuck! Please help me!" China cried, making a tiny pool of tears under him.

"Don't panic!" Japan ordered. "I'll help!" As for that, Japan took hold of China's arm and began to pull, but the pressure of China's body was so tight in the hall, it seemed impossible to pull him out.

"It's not working!" China babbled out, with more tears coming out of his eyes.

"Don't say that!" Japan said. "We can do this!" And as for that, he used both arms to pull China harder, but still no luck.

Meanwhile, Yami had explored the 5th room down, when he came across bits of old glass on the floor. As he moved them out of the way, he saw a blue pearl bracelet. He picked it up and looked at a picture with the symbol in it: "山".

"Oh my gosh...This is it!" Yami cried. "This is what Hikari left behind! But strangely enough, it was far too easy. And it's too quiet. Something's not right here..."

Meanwhile, where Russia and France were:

"Ah, that's better!" Russia sighed. "It's so much better now."

"NO IT'S NOT YOU MORRON!" France panicked, as Russia was relaxing on top of him. "You're lying on me! I'm not a chair!"

"Oh well, it's comfy!" Russia sighed. And yes, the same thing was happening to them too. As a matter of fact, they'd filled the whole room.

And in the library, the same thing was happening to Germany and Italy. They were sitting down and thinking about what was happening.

"This is ridiculous!" Germany pouted. "Italy! You've read the fanfics! What happens in this writer's stories?"

"Well, in nearly every single story she's written, they involve giants and growth!" Italy beamed. "She said she loves how tall some people become and how some growth gets her really excited, even if she saw us now, she'd probably be jumping for joy!" Germany stared at Italy blankly, until he cried out so loudly (making Yami jump right out of his skin): "WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO?!"

"S-Sorry, Germany!" Italy whimpered, as Germany began to hit him over the head repeatedly.
