Yami wandered down the long hall looking through every door possible to find the others. They couldn't have been far as he heard Germany's loud voice. As he tried the other side, he heard voices in the room:
"Stop pushing me! I can hardly breathe!"
"Only if you stop pushing me! I can't breathe either you English twerp—OW!"
"You deserved that!"
"England? America?" Yami asked, knocking on the door. "Are you guys in there?"
"That sounded just like Yugi," Yami heard England's voice say.
"YUGI, YOU GOTTA HELP US!" America shrieked loudly. "Get us outta here! Please!" Yami gave a look of curiousity and tried to open the door, but the door was blocked by England and America's arms or legs, making it impossible to break in.
"What's going on? I can't get in!" Yami called.
"That's the problem!" England complained. "We've suddenly become 35 feet tall, and we're completely stuck!"
"WHAT? Oh, not again! Why?!" Yami asked.
"What do you mean not again?" America asked. "Has this happened before?"
"Loads of times, we're kind of used to it," Yami said. "Even so, I hate it..."
"I can imagine," England groaned.
"Hold on!" Yami called. "I'll think of something! I'll get help!"
"Don't be long!" America cried. "I swear we're getting bigger!" Yami bit his lip and ran towards the area where Russia and France were.
"Is anyone there? Germany? Japan? France?" Yami called.
"Oui! Help us!" Yami heard France call. Yami went to the door he heard and knocked on the door.
"Are you guys alright?" Yami asked.
"Yes," Russia replied.
"NONONONONON! You're squashing me!" France whimpered. "Please help us!"
"Don't worry! I'm going to find a cure!" Yami called.
"Okay, take your time!" Russia said in a cheerful tone. Yami gave a slight frown and ran for the lower section of the household.
As he ran down the stairs, he looked to his left and gasped in shock as he saw two large shoes cramped in the hallway. He ran down the rest of the stairs and had a closer look outside the hall.
"Japan? China? Are you out there?" Yami called.
"Was that Yugi's voice I just heard?" He faintly heard Japan say. Yami heard a few whimpers and splashes of water hit the ground, followed by China's voice: "YUGI, PLEASE HELP ME! I'M STUCK!"
"Don't worry!" Yami called. "I'm strong! Let me help!" As for that, Yami entered the hall and tried to push China's feet through. He suddenly became alarmed when he felt that pressure of growth around his body. He quickly ran out of the hall and stopped at a height of 7 " 5'.
"Sorry China!" Yami called. "The reason why you're stuck is because you've grown larger!"
"Nani? " Japan cried loud enough for Yami to hear.
"Are you trying to make this stop or reverse it?" China whined.
"Of course!" Yami said. "Don't worry!"
As he walked to the left side of the house, he saw Germany and Italy both cramped in the library.
"Germany! Italy!" Yami cried, charging for them.
"Nien! Don't come in here!" Germany called. "This room is cursed!"
"Oh yeah..." said Yami embarrassed and slowing down his pace. "Could you two please tell me what happened when you entered this room?"
"That's easy!" said Italy. "We were searching around and looking at pretty books until we suddenly found out we were taller!" Suspicious, he went around to the others and asked the same thing:
"...We were just searching for the bracelet..."
"...I was so afraid, I couldn't move with fear..."
"...We were both down the hall and keeping an eye opener for clues..."
"...It's the garden! I blame the garden for this!..."
"...And then, we realised, we were tall enough to reach the ceiling..."
"...The walls starting shrinking and I got caught and I'm stuck!..."
"...The room became smaller with twists and turns and now we're in a comfy position..."
At last, Yami came to the spot they began at and thought.
'All these stories seem familiar...' he thought. '...Being distracted by searching or looking at scenery and it just happens...I was searching every single room, but why wasn't I cursed?' Yami walked around the spot thinking about it and suddenly came to a conclusion: 'What if certain rooms are cursed? When I tried to help China, I was affected until I left the hall...' He thought more and came to a method: He can use his power to locate and see energy sources. What if this curse was a hoax?
As for that, he stared at his Puzzle, closed his eyes and concentrated hard on his inner aura; sparks whizzed round in his brain, muscles began to pump all over, even his body began to shake. With a shriek, he opened his eyes where his sclera had turned pale purple and his iris bright white.
He could see strange waves of energy following around; most them were located in the rooms his friends were trapped in.
'That explains a lot,' Yami thought. 'But where is it all coming from?' He saw a trail of energy coming from a door near the stairs and followed it. He followed it deep into an attic and past curtains of dust and cobwebs.
