The corridor felt endless as they walked towards where the game room was supposed to be. They had passed by many other rooms such as the library, the great hall and the drawing room. Even though the place was built up as a new resort, the guide had told them that they had also tried to recreate the mansion as well. It was part of a plan to conserve the heritage and culture of that time.

The more he took in the grandeur of the place, the more at ease Sawamura began to feel. The whole place was just so bright and stepping into all the rooms made it feel as if he had really stepped back in time, to a place he knew nothing about. If anything he was actually having fun seeing all the new things.

Normally, Haruichi would be busy trying to calm his hyper friend down but he was too lost in thought. Half wondering why he was exploring the place when he didn't know what was going to happen, the other half wondering why the whole place just seemed so familiar and yet distant.

Furuya was also amazed by what he saw but despite that he kept turning to look at Haruichi, his friend had been unnaturally quiet and wasn't even trying to keep them in check when he and Sawamura had started arguing.

Naturally the both of them felt weird about that but when pestered, Haruichi's response was always the same.

"Harucchi, Harrruchi."

Haruichi was awaken from his thoughts "Aa, sorry Eijun-kun, what were you saying."

Sawamura looked at him funny "Your acting really weird today."

"It's really nothing." He then noticed that they had arrived at the game room. "Eijun-kun, I'll beat you at table tennis." He said running towards the table hoping for a change of subject.

"I won't lose." Eijun ran to the other side, he never backed down from a challenge.

Furuya just observed the game.

…..

As they were walking down the corridor, it seemed that the normal Ryousuke had returned. Kuramochi had to wonder what was that that he felt from Ryousuke that time. He had really been afraid but mostly the fear came from the fact that he did not recognise that Ryosuke. His action's and words were similar but the gaze was just different, like it belonged to somebody else.

Ryousuke on the other hand also didn't know what it was that made Kuramochi so scared of him. He was acting normally by smiling and teasing him but just now he defiantly saw fear in his eyes. It hurt him knowing that his kouhai was actually afraid of him.

"Ryo-san, are you alright?" Kuramochi's question stunned him, they had been walking in silence for a while.

They had known each other long enough for Ryousuke to know that Kuramochi was asking about the way he had acted just before they came out to explore the place. "I'm fine. What about you why were you so scared?"

Kuramochi shrugged his shoulder "I don't know, that glare you gave me just didn't feel like you at all."

"What do you mean?" Ryousuke had stopped in his tracks and glared at him again. "So are you scared?" He asked and watched Kuramochi shake his head. He hit his partners back "Then it was just your imagination." He smiled at his partner, not showing how relieved he was.

Kuramochi was also going to forget about it, when he thought he felt someone else it must have really been his own imagination.

"Let's head to the game room."

…

"One more round."

They had already played 2 rounds of table tennis and both rounds Sawamura had lost badly.

"Hyaha, Bakamura can't play table tennis."

All three people turned to look at the people who had entered the game room.

"I can play."

"Oh talking back are we." Kuramochi wrestled Sawamura to the ground.

"Aniki."

"Yo Haruichi. Playing table tennis, I see. Yoichi form a team with Sawamura." Ryousuke stood by Haruichi's side.

"Why? He sucks?

"I'm forming a team with Haruichi that's why and why not, you act like his older brother all the time."

"I do not." He shouted at his senpai but resigned himself to playing a losing game of table tennis with Sawamura.

Kuramochi was too busy wresting Sawamura after he had blamed him for their loss of the game and therefore the Kominato brothers were unable to continue playing doubles and ended playing singles.

"I see your much better now. About your nightmare, still don't want to talk about it." Ryousuke served the ball.

"I'm fine, Aniki." Haruichi hit it back.

"If you say so." Haruichi was defenalelty being much more stubborn than usual.

After a few rallies Haruichi decided to ask a question that had been bothering him since he started exploring the place, "Aniki, does this place feel familiar to you?"

"No. Why?"

"No reason."

After that Haruichi played an awkward game of table tennis as he wondered why his brother did not question him further.

….

Miyuki was bored maybe he really should have joined Sawamura when he left the room. Dragging himself out of the bed, he began examining the room. It looked just like any resort room not that he was used to staying in resorts or anything.

His eyes then feel onto Sawamura's bag that the pitcher had just left on the floor as soon as they entered the room. The idiot didn't even bother to unpack. Suddenly, he thought of a great way to spent his time. He took the bag and decidedly looked at what Sawamura had brought. Maybe he would find something to tease him about.

He had been rummaging through the bag to find that even for this trip Sawamura had packed in a baseball and gloves. That guy really is a baseball idiot. Sawamura was probably planning to make him catch for him later. He smiled at that thought. Not that he blamed Sawamura, he too was a baseball idiot. The rest of the bag however was full of clothes and shoujo manga.

What's this?

He was going to stop looking when he noticed a bundle packed underneath the shoujo manga and carefully wrapped in some clothes. Curious he picked it up to find that it was a BL manga. He knew Sawamura liked romance stories but to think that he even read those. Now that was something he could use to his advantage.

It had been quite some time now, Sawamura hadn't come back yet and no one had contacted him. He sighed maybe the 5 of them had went off somewhere without him, he liked his alone time that's why he had stayed back in his room but then again there was nothing to do. He decided that he would go find them and tease Sawamura about what he had found. At the same time, it was almost time for lunch.

As he was walking towards the door, he noticed a tall dressing table, he stood in front of it wondering how he could have missed that when he had been looking around the room. The carvings on the dressing table was carved so intricately that he could see the details quite clearly and the large mirror shone in the sun. There was no way he could have missed it and yet he did. Even so, he was sure things like this just weren't normally found in resort rooms and what was more that thing actually looked really ancient compared to everything else in the room.

He then noticed that one of the drawers were opened, curious he opened it to find what looked like a journal. The book was torn and tattered and the pages looked like it was ready to fall out. Looking at the date on the book, he noticed that it was dated a century ago, the same time where the mansion once stood. His smile widened this was certainly going to be interesting, this holiday was sure to be full of fun things.

Imagining Sawamura's reaction he smirked, there was clearly something going on in this place and Sawamura wasn't going to like it.

...

It was almost time for lunch when everyone in the game room decided to leave.

"Furuya-kun, time for lunch." Haruichi woke Furuya who had fallen asleep on the couch. Furuya looked at his friend and noticed that his friend looked much better now, he wasn't as pale as before. He was even smiling openly but there was still something amiss about him.

"Furuya, is my brother that interesting to look at."

Furuya shuddered when he heard Ryousuke's voice but didn't answer.

"Not that I wouldn't understand, Haruichi is very cute."

"Aniki." Haruichi blushed at that.

Kuramochi and Sawamura were already by the exit and they were getting impatient. "Are you guys coming yet?"

"Coming."

The walk to the dining hall turned restaurant was unnaturally quite if Kuramochi had to say so. No one was talking and all seemed to be deep in thought. He turned to look at Sawamura, the last person he expected to be quite and saw that he was giving Haruichi a weird look. It was like he was thinking if he should ask his friend or not. He guessed that even the dense Sawamura could tell that something was up with the younger Kominato.

He thought back to when he was wrestling Sawamura in the game room, even though they were pretty loud they were close enough to hear what Haruichi had asked his brother. The look on his face when Ryo-san had said no was one he had never seen before. It looked sad, confused but what he was also sure he saw fear. He had been so sure that Ryo-san would have pestered him about it but he never did.

Then there was the issue of Ryo-san, it wasn't like the older Kominato to not question any further when he received such an answer from anyone especially not when it came from his younger brother. Ryo-san he knew had a brother complex. But then again, Ryo-san had been weird as well. Sure he was acting normal now and even though he had decided to push aside that incident there was no way he could get that gaze out of his head. He found it strange as he began to worry for the Kominato brothers.

Furuya like Sawamura was walking quietly by Haruichi's side, he was thinking if he should try and bring the matter up with him again but decided against it. If Haruichi wasn't willing to tell then he wouldn't force him too but it really pained him to know that he was hiding something inside.

Ryousuke turned to look at his brother who was walking behind him with Sawamura and Furuya. He wondered what had happened to his little brother. When they were playing doubles against Yoichi and Sawamura, Haruichi was clearly enjoying himself and it was probably the first genuine smile he had given today but the curious thing was the question he had asked him. The building had been abandoned for ages until it was turned into this resort and the fact was that Haruichi went everywhere with him. If Haruichi recognized this place, then so should he.

He also realized that Yoichi was looking at him, it must have been about how he had not questioned Haruichi after his awkward answer and maybe about the strange gaze he had felt when he had looked at him. He was curious about it cause now that he came to think about it he might have felt something else when he was looking at Yoichi. Maybe those stories really were true?

Haruichi was aware that everyone was looking at him with worried eyes which was the last thing he wanted. He really didn't want to be the reason they couldn't enjoy their holiday. He was really happy and relaxed playing table tennis with his brother and friends but then he just had to ask that question.

He wasn't sure why but he was certain that his brother would say yes. It actually came as quite a shock when his brother had said no, he was so hoping that his brother felt the same so he could share what he was feeling inside but it didn't work out that way. He wasn't going to bother anyone with his thoughts, he was just going to smile and make them not worry about him anymore.

"Your late."

As soon as they entered the restaurant, they saw Miyuki sitting at the table with empty plates. Sawamura and Kuramochi started shouting at the catcher for eating before them. Haruichi placed a smile on his face as he calmed his friend down.

"Eijun-kun, let's just order."

Said person huffed and sat on the seat next to Miyuki and looked at the menu, the others did the same. Miyuki must have been waiting for them for he had chosen a table for 6.

The food arrived swiftly and the hungry people gobbled the food down. Miyuki who had finished eating decided that it was the right time to bring up that topic and whispered into his pitcher's ears. He deserved some entertainment.

Sawamura spluttered his food and Kuramochi who was sitting opposite him got the brunt of it. Kuramochi was going wrestle him but Sawamura had stood up and shouted at Miyuki for looking through his bag.

It was nothing new really but Sawamura was blushing bright red while doing it. This caught his interest, he shared a room with Sawamura and he was sure that if he had anything interesting he would have found it already but Sawamura's reaction said that he had missed something.

"This guy is reading BL manga's."

"The girls in my class forced it on me."

"Which is why you packed it for this trip.

Sawamura couldn't find and a clever retort for that and went back to shouting that he had his own privacy. Miyuki just laughed, Kuramochi on the other hand was teasing him.

Haruichi couldn't help but laugh at the scene, all the tension he had felt just dissipated into thin air. Everyone was stunned when they heard him laugh, it wasn't a normal thing for him to laugh at Sawamura's expense.

"Harucchi stop laughing." He heard Eijun shouting at him but he didn't stop. What had he been so worried about, nothing would happen and whatever he had felt must have just been part of his imagination.

Ryousuke who was smiling as he watched Sawamura, Miyuki and Kuramochi argue, his smile grew bigger as he saw his brother laughing. Everything from Haruichi's worries and fears to Yoichi saying that he had felt that he was someone else and the strange feeling he felt was just because of the story they heard.
