Here's the second chapter! I added in a few extra dialogue for this story, I don't know why.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything, I'm not genius enough to make something as great as any of the characters from Hetalia or the fantastic heart-wrenching plot of HetaOni.

Read on!


"Are you guy ready to play the game?" America grinned as he held a bag of popcorn in his hands.

England's eyebrows furrowed immediately at him. "Yes, but where the bloody hell did you get the popcorn?"

The American laughed his self-proclaimed hero laugh at the British man's baffled face. "I brought a few bags with me just in case, ya know? Also watch your mouth, old man!" He snorted right after he said that last part.

The other blonde looked downright insulted. "Oi! I'm not the old man here, bloody fucking.."

Romano cleared his throat impatiently. "Moving the hell on.."

"Right.. so I'll start the game now." Japan muttered half to himself and partly to them.

A mochi quickly hops through an empty hallway, appearing to be running from something. It attempts to open the front door but fails.

All the nations watched the screen go dark. "Didn't that little guy sort of resemble America?" Prussia asked no one in particular. A few blinked at the observation and Germany just glanced at Prussia curiously, but stayed quiet.

Italy just smiled softly at them. "Sì! It did look like America!"

They all jumped - except for Russia and Germany - when the high pitched squeal of the mochi was heard.

"I hope the little bugger was alright.." England muttered under his breath, and nobody heard except for Japan and Italy.

A deserted house on the mountain

About three hours on foot

From the world summit place.

No one knows how long it has been there

Or who used to live in it

Rumors said that it was... haunted.

"Wah! Germany! I don't like the music!" Italy whimpered, attacking the muscular blonde with a bear hug. Germany accepted the hug, albeit rather awkwardly.

Japan smiled fondly at the two of them. "Chapter 1: The ManSion Where None Should ENter." It did look a bit weird with randomly placed capital letters and whatnot but he wasn't there to complain about that. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw England choke on his tea.

Four people walked towards the mansion.

The auburn haired Italian let out a small gasp of disbelief and when some nations turned to look at him, he responded a bit quickly with an exclamation. "Hey look, fratello! It's me!" That resulted in Romano responding with a face-palm. "God dammit, Veneziano.."

Prussia pointed at the character with white hair and navy blue uniform. "Kesesese! Do you see the awesome-est person there? Of course you do, because he's me!"

ITALY: Ve.. it's really here!

JAPAN: I thought it was just a rumor. I never thought we would actually find it..

PRUSSIA: It has such a desolate feel.. not bad..

GERMANY: I don't think it's very interesting though.

JAPAN: Me neither. Can't we just look at it from the outside and then go back?

ITALY: Aw! After all the trouble we had to find it? Come on, let's go in for a little while!

GERMANY: ...

"Woah! Talk about out of character!"

Japan was already focused on the game to recognize the speaker, but he did silently agree with them. Italy actually wanting to go inside a so-called haunted mansion and coaxing them into going in was a bit strange, along with the fact that Germany seemed a bit reluctant to go in for whatever reason. Japan thought he would have more sense than to believe some silly rumors, even if the German was a very superstitious person.

Then again it was Germany in the game that was scared, not the real one.

ITALY: It's cleaner than I thought.

GERMANY: H-hey. Can we leave now?

"The potato bastard is scared!" Romano chuckled. Everyone that wasn't Spain and Italy whipped their heads at the older Italian.

Romano scowled. "..What."

"Dude! You can laugh!"

After that comment, America had to dodge to avoid the flying tomatoes coming his way at an impressive speed.

PRUSSIA: What's the matter, West? You scared?

"He's very scared."

There is a crashing noise that makes all of them jump in surprise. Italy latches himself onto Germany, who looks petrified. The other two, Japan and Prussia look shocked, however Prussia tries to hide it.

GERMANY: L-look, we should really go now.

Romano scoffed and crossed his arms. "Scaredy-cat!"

Nobody dared to point out the irony in that statement to the foul-mouthed Italian in fear of getting covered in tomatoes.

JAPAN: Oh don't be silly. It's not like there are any ghosts or anything. Where is your common sense?

"Damn, Japan!" America raised his hand to high five the shorter man, but he got nothing but a blank stare. The blonde rolled his eyes and pouted a bit before trying to high five his brother, Canada.

"No way you hoser! Only if you play hockey with me again." Canada added with a smug smirk on his face.

The louder North American suddenly flinched back. "Ugh! Don't remind me of the day we played hockey.. you were batshit crazy!"

"I hate that term." Canada stated.

"Well you were, you southpaw!"

England and France glanced at each other in astonishment. The pair of Americans continued bickering back and forth and eventually Russia intervened with his signature childish smile on his face.

The Asian nation starts to walk off with a barely suppressed sigh before Prussia met his gaze and called out to him.

PRUSSIA: Be careful, Japan!

JAPAN: I know. I'll just go and see what happened. I'll be right back.

"Oh I get to control now." Japan blinked.

Now walking alone, Japan opened the door at the end of the hallway. When he looked around, he discovered something that might have been the object that fell.

JAPAN: The plate is... broken. I have to be careful not to hurt myself.

France frowned at the Japan in the game. "Of course it's broken."

Obtained: Ceramic Shard

A piece of a broken plate. Small but very sharp.

"I better get back to the others." Japan frowned. For some reason something felt off, maybe it was his years of video game experience speaking, but he was almost positive that when he got back to the room where Germany, Prussia and Italy were supposed to be, they weren't going to be there.

He was in the mix of being surprised and not being surprised when he got to the room - it was empty.

JAPAN: Did they leave, after all?

JAPAN: How regrettable.

After taking a few moments of deciding what to do, Japan pointed to where he was going. "I'm going up in this next room."

"Nobody's stopping you." China said.

Japan walked through a hallway that seemed to stretch on forever. Then he reached a massive tatami room. He almost felt at home, if only the thick atmosphere that mysteriously shrouded the mansion disappeared. Japan felt his lips twitch down while he looked around at the peaceful room, and at the same time he didn't want to be there any longer than he had to.

"What's that red chest?" Italy suddenly inquired and Japan almost jumped. The red-headed Italian had been so uncharacteristically quiet since the beginning and Japan wondered why. Maybe the happy-go-lucky nation was just scared of the game, even though nothing relatively scary had happened. Japan noticed with a quirk of his eyebrow that the Italian was eating pasta.

No one else seemed to take much notice, not even Romano.

The Asian decided to humor him and check the red chest out.

You found a note. It says "Fix the piano, repair the toilet, leave the first aid kit in the drawer on the second floor".

JAPAN: The handwriting is really messy. Whoever wrote this was obviously in a hurry.

Italy managed an awkward smile with many different emotions mixed together. It looked very unfitting for the Italian.

"Hey, pasta man, you okay? You should smile more naturally." Even America looked disturbed, making all the nations stare at the two of them. Italy actually had his amber eyes wide open and just gawked at the American. "W-what? No it's just a scary game! Fratello can I please have a hug?" He seemed back to normal again, reaching over to hug Romano - who just rolled his eyes but didn't refuse the hug.

Still a little concerned for Italy, Japan shook his head and glanced at Germany, who was staring at the auburn haired nation in confusion. "Alright I'm going back to the main room, then I will go left."

"Fufufu! That sounds great!" Spain wrapped his arm around Romano, not minding the glare he was getting.

Japan stared wide-eyed at the gray monster that had it's back to him. His hand was slowly reaching for his katana, though he didn't grab it. Not daring to make a sound yet, two thoughts crossed his mind.

"I hope the potato bastard died first." Romano stated nonchalantly, but clearly not being serious. His brother dropped his fork and turned to him with tears in his eyes. "No! Take it back!" Italy was shaking and Romano blinked.

Should he exclaim "What's this?" or choose to stay silent.

"Obviously the more rational option is to stay silent!" England reasoned to Japan.

Russia had his usual purple aura around him, forcing everyone else to shiver. "Aw.. I wonder what would happen if he said something? Maybe we should do that, da?"

Romano speechlessly watched his brother shake his head at the Russian. "No, we probably shouldn't."

"Da, I believe we should."

"No."

"Da." This was going to take a while, the two nations were very set on their decisions and were having some form of a staring contest, much to the surprise of everyone else. "What the fuck?" America mouthed to England, who just shrugged.

Italy just sighed. "...Fine. Did you save?"

"Hai." The Asian wasn't sure why Italy was being like this. He knew that he was acting normally before they started playing.

JAPAN: What's this!?

The gray thing turned around in an instant. It rushed forward towards Japan, who wasn't prepared for the Thing to attack him.

WrONg cHoICE.

"Holy shit! It killed Japan!" France screeched.

America gaped in shock at the screen. "That bastard!"

"Can the awesome me play?" Prussia asked, not appearing too affected. After all it was a game.

Japan wanted to take a break from playing - he also wanted to watch Italy closer - so he gave the ex-nation the controls, and chuckled a bit when Prussia did a little dance.

Japan knew that the better choice was to stay calm. His hand was still on his katana just in case the Thing turned around and saw him. Luckily for him, it went in a door and closed it after.

JAPAN: Wha... what was that, just now? I.. maybe I'm getting tired..

"What's this room right here?" Prussia pointed to the door on the right, clearly avoiding the door straight ahead.

The albino chuckled when he entered it. "Oh it's a bathroom."

The Japanese man walked over to the dusty mirror. He could barely see himself in it. There was a few cabinets, but once he looked in them, they were covered in dust. The only thing left in the bathroom to check was the toilet. Japan shook his head. There was no point in looking at the toilet, it was a plain one.

JAPAN: It's just an ordinary toilet.

"You sure it's ordinary?" America questioned with a tilt of his head. "It might be a magical toilet!" Surprisingly after he joked about that, Italy giggled. "Yeah! Who knows, it might give Japan some food!"

Prussia smirked and threw his arm around the Italian. "Yeah! It might be a magical toilet. Maybe I'll check it out later! I wonder what the second floor is like. The awesome Prussia will have to find out!"

Italy grinned at the albino. "Sì! I'll just hang on to Germany's buff arm if something scary happens!" Prussia laughed and went to the main room, and from there he went up the steps.

Japan was careful to walk up the stairs without making a sound, who knew if there were more Things. He checked a room, and was taken aback when he spotted Germany's whip on the bed.

JAPAN: Is this not.. Germany's whip? What is it doing in a place like this?

His face turned red with all the possibilities.

JAPAN: ..stupid yaoi.

There was a complete silence in the room as they processed what Japan in the game had said. America snorted and finally said something. "AHAHA! Japan you little pervert!"

Obtained: Germany's Whip

Germany's personal whip. It's quite worn from use.

More laughter filled the room. "What kind of use?!"

Italy looked at his friend in confusion. "What does that mean?" Germany quickly felt himself go red. "Don't ask me something like that!"

Romano scowled at the German. "Gross, you potato pervert! I know what you're thinking!"

Japan left the room. He needed to find the others and then leave the mansion. There was a lot of rooms but he chose to go in one further down the hallway. It was empty, but there was a closet in the back with some shuffling in there. Fear shot through his body like a lightning bolt. Slowly, Japan went closer to the closet. He was startled when Germany opened the curtain with a nervous look on his face.

JAPAN: G.. Germany!

GERMANY: CLACLACLACLACLACLACLACLACLACLACLAC *shaking*

"What the hell?!" Romano raised his eyebrows at the German. "You know, Germany.. you're a bit like Italy in this game." Russia stated with a chuckle while said Italian pouted.

JAPAN: Germany, where are the others?

GERMANY: CLACLACLACLACLACLACLACLACLACLACLAC *shaking*

JAPAN: You look.. shaken. I'll go get you something to drink.

Even Germany looked bewildered at himself in the game. "At least I can trust Japan in that situation."

The Asian backed out of the room and kept looking back at Germany.

"I'm going to get some toilet water for West!" Prussia cackled. The younger German brother rolled his eyes. "You will not." A wicked grin suddenly spread across Prussia's face. "You haven't stopped me before."

The blonde German's face paled quickly. "Y-you haven't done that before have you?"

"Haha nope! I just wanted to see your reaction. As far as you know.." Romano nodded his approval. "You know maybe this potato bastard isn't so bad."

Cue an angry German. "Bruder!"

After he went into the bathroom, Japan checked out the toilet once more.

JAPAN: Well.. this is water too. Let's not be so hasty.

Germany was still trying to function from the sudden revelation that Prussia might have given him toilet water in the past but he temporarily shook out of it. "Thank you, Japan!"

JAPAN: Maybe I can get water here? Ah, thank God. It doesn't seem to be broken.

Obtained: Water?

Not sure if you can call it water. It might be dangerous. Fatally dangerous.

Romano smirked as he read the text. "Time to back to the potato bastard!"

JAPAN: Germany, I brought you some water. Drink it, and try to calm down a little.

Should he give Germany the water or not give it?

JAPAN: Here. It's not filtered water though...

GERMANY: Is that.. really water?

JAPAN: Judging by it's color.. probably..

Folding his arms, Romano nodded his approval at Japan too. "I like you."

GERMANY: I see.. anyway, sorry for falling apart like that. I feel much better now thanks to you.

JAPAN: That's good to hear. So, where are the others?

GERMANY: I'm.. not sure. At any rate, we ran for out lives. And those two went in different directions... I think. Sorry, just give me a moment to pull myself together.

"So I take it that Veneziano didn't follow him?" Romano asked with an expression of disbelief and glanced at his little brother. Italy just shrugged. "It is just a game.." He patted his brother one the back while his voice carried an indescribable undertone.

JAPAN: All right. I'll go look for those two. Try to get some rest.

GERMANY: Sorry... oh by the way, I found this when I was running. Maybe it can be of some use to you?

Obtained: Key from Germany

It opens the library room on the first floor.

"Hey, Prussia, maybe you should save?" Italy prodded the ex-nation and got a nod in response. "Yeah, okay."

Japan went down the stairs and towards the right. For some reason, he felt that the library was here. Lifting the key up with his arm, Japan listened for the tell-tale click of the door being unlocked.

France pulled a face. "What is up with that horrid music?"

His gut told him to move fast and quietly. Japan felt like something was watching him and he hated it. There were many bookshelves but one would be fine to have a peek at.

JAPAN: There's so many books here. If I weren't in such a hurry, I would definitely leaf through them. Well.. just one won't do any harm, right?

Learned Japan's personal skill: Dismissal.

Japan's eyes moved on their own to a table covered in notes written in a language that Japan wasn't ever aware of. He shivered a little as he stared at it from a distance. What he saw next definitely took him off guard.

"It's an onigiri!" Japan gasped. What on earth was an onigiri doing in a place like that?

JAPAN: T.. this is..! An ordinary riceball!

Obtained: Onigiri

As soon as he picked it up, there was a growling noise and Japan felt the blood drain out of his face. When he dared to look up, he was looking into the charcoal eyes of the Thing. Japan ran from the creature and towards the door. Thankfully he made it, however he somehow dropped the key while running!

Prussia was dumbfounded. "Are you shitting me?! How?!" He frantically pressed random buttons and it was pretty clear to the nations that he was lost as to where to go next. Germany pinched his nose and shook his head.

"Ah! There it is! Though how the hell did it get all the way over here?" Prussia was confused. He never went anywhere near that area. America just placed his hand on the albino's shoulder and sighed dramatically. "Video game logic."

JAPAN: I found it! It's the key! Now I have to get out of here!

Retrieved: Key

"Okay now let's get out of there." Spain smiled at his friend.

Prussia was spastic on the poor keyboard. "Yeah, I'm going to not use the key and let that Thing fight me!" He deadpanned loudly. "Prussia you have to use the key to get out of there!" The poor Spaniard didn't get it.

JAPAN: Wha.. what on earth was that Thing?! I have to find the others as soon as possible.

"Chapter 2: FiNding Friends." Japan narrated.

"Who wants to play next?" Prussia asked the group, offering everyone the controller. "The awesome Prussia has to play again? Okay, okay, you all must love watching me play this game."

Canada piped up after what seemed to be a moments hesitation. "I'll play I guess."


I told you that this chapter would be longer, didn't I? I wrote it within two days wtf. THIS IS WHAT SUMMER DOES TO ME I'M NOT KIDDING YOU.. tbh I tried to get more reactions from different countries but I know for a fact that I forgot some, oh well, they'll react more next time I swear.

Thank you for reading this!
