Description
Too Distracted

A low growling noise was heard in the basement of a large mansion. The mansion was painted white with a red roof on keeping the top floor of the house protected from the rain. The red roof was painted in a red that looked like blood. The pale cream walls looked like it hasn't been touched in years. A plain oak door with a black cross on and an iron handle on the door with the lock on. The middle of the mansion came out leaving the rest of the mansion behind. The mansion was symmetrical on the outside. There were 9 windows on the left and the right side of the mansion and one window in the centre. There were 3 windows near the floor, 3 more windows in the middle and 3 more windows near the roof. The windows looked like they were in a 3x3 grid. The windows on the bottom were barred so nothing could escape from those windows. Cobwebs were there though and it was clear that this mansion wasn't touched in years. The windows on the middle row were plain. There was nothing on them and there was nothing that gave you the idea of that. The windows on the top row had a windowsill and you could stand on the ledge and look into the room. It was mirrored on the other side of the mansion. The window in the middle had some green planks next to the side.

Footsteps were heard coming from the basement up some stone stairs. What was coming sounded like it's been waiting for months to come out. The growling came again but this time its voice was becoming clear.

"Honda"

Ao Oni The Last Sunrise – Too Distracted

"Dude! I can't believe that you came with me to the world meeting! Normally you prefer to go by yourself or with Feliciano and Ludwig" Alfred told Kiku. Kiku nodded at Alfred. They were walking in the sunlight and Kiku really enjoyed it and he was sure that Alfred was going to enjoy the day as well. Kiku was thinking about telling Alfred about Ao Oni since Alfred was interested in horror games. Despite the fact that he can't watch horror movies Alfred was good with the games. Alfred really enjoyed his video games and Kiku was more than happy to create Alfred more horror games but he wasn't sure if it was helping him get over the horror films.

"Naturally since Arthur will probably be at the meeting already" Kiku told Alfred.

"You're probably right about that there Kiku" Alfred said. He wasn't shouting anymore which was a good thing for Kiku. They walked past a tall mansion. Kiku froze. He turned to look at the mansion before he stood there with his mouth open. Alfred didn't seem to notice Kiku had stopped and continued walking.

"What are you doing here?" Kiku said softly towards the mansion. Alfred had only just heard Kiku. Alfred turned around and noticed Kiku was miles away but looking at the mansion. Alfred ran up to Kiku.

"Dude, what's wrong?" Alfred asked Kiku.

"I...it's nothing Alfred...we're going to be late if we just stand here looking at the mansion" Kiku told Alfred. Alfred looked at Kiku before he looked at the mansion.

"That's been there for over 2 months now" Alfred told Kiku.

"Over 2 months?" Kiku asked Alfred. He was just conferring that he had heard Alfred correctly. Alfred nodded.

"That's not a problem...is it Kiku?" Alfred asked Kiku. Kiku shook his head saying that there was nothing wrong with it. Kiku looked at the sun's position and then sighed.

"We better get going to the meeting" Kiku told Alfred and he nodded and they both set off again towards the world meeting. The mansion still being on Kiku's mind.

Ao Oni The Last Sunrise – Too Distracted

Kiku was sitting there at the world meeting still thinking about the mansion. Nothing seemed to be getting in his mind after he saw that mansion. He wasn't sure if the mansion was there for his imagination or if it was just there and he designed the game off that mansion. If the mansion was there then there was a chance that the Ao Oni would be there. His curiosity was slowly taking over Kiku's mind. He couldn't focus on the meeting anymore and he could only focus on the mansion. He wasn't even agreeing with Alfred anymore because he was too distracted.

"Ve~ Kiku, are you ok?" Feliciano asked Kiku after poking him on the shoulder. Kiku snapped back to reality and he looked around the room at everyone who was there. Everyone looked at Kiku waiting for him to say something about his views on the meeting. Kiku was put on the spotlight and he wasn't comfortable in the light. His mind slipped back at the mansion that he and Alfred walked past on their way to the meeting.

"Dude, are you still thinking about that mansion we passed?" Alfred asked Kiku.

"I'm sorry I'm not paying any attention to the world meeting. I'm too distracted about the mansion" Kiku told everyone at the world meeting. Arthur, Francis, Ivan and Yao looked at Kiku confused and they weren't sure if it was a good idea to go and bother Kiku while he's thinking. If it was bothering him too much then it was clear that his curiosity has gotten hold of him and is trying to steer him towards the answer. With Kiku being a very proud nation it was going to be hard to push him towards the answer. Yao got up and walked over to his little brother.

"Why is the mansion distracting you?" Yao asked Kiku. Kiku wasn't sure if he should tell Yao but he might as well say what was bothering him since it was affecting the meeting. Kiku sighed and took in a deep breath.

"For the past couple of months I have been working on a new game. That's why no manga or anime has come out from my country. It's the reason I haven't been outside my bedroom. I've been busy with the game that I didn't realise that time went by so quickly. The objective of the game is to escape from the mansion. While walking with Alfred to the meeting, the mansion which the game is based around...it was there. Every detail was there and it was exactly the same and that mansion...it felt like the game was coming to life...right there. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. If the mansion is there then is the Ao Oni there?" Kiku explained before the question turned up. The whole group looked at Kiku as if he was Mathew.

"Aiyaa Kiku...You're paranoid" Yao told his little brother.

"Ao Oni translates as Blue Demon...that's why I'm worried" Kiku told his brother. Yao looked at Kiku before he knew what Kiku was planning to do. He wanted to go to the mansion and then find out if the Ao Oni was there as well.

"You are not going to that mansion Kiku" Yao said softly to his brother. Yao didn't want to lose his brother if he went to the mansion. Even if the Ao Oni was there it would be better if they all went together. That way if the Ao Oni was there then at least they could all fight the demon and leave the mansion at the same time without any hassle.

"I need to go into the mansion and to find out if the Ao Oni is in there" Kiku told his brother. Yao knew that Kiku was going to be stubborn since his curiosity had taken control but if Kiku must go into the mansion then he was going to have the axis and the allies with him. Alfred looked at Kiku before he sat down in his chair. A hamburger was in his left hand and he was looking at Kiku.

"Dude, if there is a monster in the mansion then you're not going in alone" Alfred told Kiku.

"If it is there it will attack and possibly kill us all" Kiku told Alfred. Alfred looked at Kiku before he stood up.

"Kiku. I don't care if there is something in that mansion. You're going to need a hero!" Alfred told Kiku.

"Alfred...I don't need you as my hero" Kiku told Alfred. The hamburger dropped and everyone looked at Alfred like he was going to explode. Alfred looked at Kiku with disbelief on his face. Kiku looked at Alfred before the hand of guilt started to settle in his heart. He didn't mean to say it like that but he didn't want Alfred to get attacked by the Ao Oni when he left the world meeting alone.

"Dude! You do need a hero and I'm the one that's going to save you from the monster!" Alfred yelled at Kiku.

"I didn't mean to say it like that Alfred but I'm going alone no matter what any of you say" Kiku said to the rest of the world meeting members.

"Sorry to burst your bubble there chap but you're not going to the mansion alone." Arthur told Kiku.

"Why not?" Kiku asked.

"Because if the Blue Demon is there then you're going to be in trouble. I know that nations can't die easily but there is safety in numbers" Arthur told Kiku.

"Oui, Kiku you may have created a game with a Ao Oni as you call it running around but demons don't exist" Francis told Kiku.

"Ao Oni sounds scary" Feliciano cried as Ludwig did his best to keep Feliciano from bursting into tears. Ludwig looked at Kiku but Kiku slowly decided it would be best if they got on with the world meeting other than what they were going to do after the meeting. Kiku slowly sat down onto his chair and looked at the other members of the axis.

"I don't think we have anything else to do with the meeting. Kiku changed the subject" Ivan said with a smile on his face. Francis looked at Ivan worried if he was going to take action on something. Alfred looked at Ivan and nodded.

"I'm too busy worried about Kiku's choice" Alfred admitted.

"Da...me to" Ivan said before he looked at Kiku.

"Ludwig...can we go home? I'm scared" Feliciano asked Ludwig. Arthur looked at Alfred still seeing the hurt in his eyes. Arthur got up from his seat and walked over to Alfred and put his hand on Alfred's shoulder. Alfred looked up at Arthur before he looked away from him.

"Why doesn't Kiku really want me to be the hero for him?" Alfred asked quietly but the depression was heard in his voice and Arthur felt it radiating off him.

"Kiku is just a proud nation. I believe he'll need you more than you think Alfred" Arthur told Alfred. Alfred looked at Arthur before he smiled and nodded.

"Yeah I guess so" Alfred said before Arthur smiled at him. Both Alfred and Arthur were looking over at Kiku as he pulled out his laptop and started working on the laptop.

"Don't you think Kiku works a little hard Yao?" Francis asked Yao. Yao was busy watching Kiku on his laptop and he didn't notice Francis being there.

"He'll go to that mansion...I can feel his curiosity trying to get him there in his mind now. He can't go alone though" Yao told Francis. Francis nodded in agreement since Kiku wouldn't be able to stand much of a chance if he was there on his own. Kiku was the only one who had the knowledge on the game and he had a better chance but he wasn't going to stand much on his own if he's injured by the Ao Oni. Yao noticed that Ivan was staring at Kiku and Yao wondered what was going through the Russian's head while he looked at the nation on the laptop.

"What can we do to stop him?" Francis asked Yao.

"It's hard to persuade Kiku once his curiosity gets the better of him. Like it has now" Yao told Francis.

"How do you know?" Francis asked Yao.

"I've raised Kiku. I know what he's like and he doesn't like giving away his weakness." Yao told Francis. Francis looked at Yao before he smiled.

"What was it like raising Kiku?" Francis asked Yao.

"It was fun. I know that Kiku doesn't class me as a brother but...he'll always be my younger brother" Yao told Francis.

"I would have done anything to get my hands on that little nation. Too bad I didn't do anything" Francis said as he looked over to Kiku.

Kiku could feel lots of different eyes on him but the one that bugged him the most was Vash's look. Kiku turned to look at Vash before Vash could do anything. Their eyes were locked onto each other and Vash didn't seem too friendly on the idea of Kiku going into the mansion at all. Vash looked at Kiku wondering if he was really going to the mansion if it had an Ao Oni living in it. Vash got up from his seat and decided it would be better if he sat next to Kiku to have this talk. Kiku was busy in deep thought to notice Vash moving from his seat. Vash moved and sat next to Kiku and laid his gun on the table in front of Kiku.

"What?" Kiku asked a little confused on why a gun was placed in front of him. Kiku didn't realise that Vash had moved next to him.

"Take it with you" Kiku turned to see Vash sitting next to him. Kiku looked back at the gun before he pulled out his katana and moved the blade to move the gun away from him.

"I don't use guns...just my trusty katana" Kiku told Vash. Vash slammed his fist down on the table catching everyone's attention.

"Look Kiku. I don't want to give my gun away to you either but you're going to need it more than I am if you're going to the mansion. If you don't take it then I'll force you to take the gun!" Vash shouted at Kiku. Kiku managed to keep his cool while Vash was yelling at him but if wasn't so calm then there would be some problems since Vash normally intimidated Kiku no matter where he was coming from. Vash wasn't intimidating Kiku which meant that Kiku wasn't exactly listening to Vash completely.

"I don't need a gun. My katana is perfectly fine" Kiku said calmly. Arthur could tell a fight was going to happen soon and he was going to say that the winner would be Vash.

"Bullets or swords Kiku?" Vash asked Kiku.

"I stand with my katana. I don't care if guns are better. I've been raised to use a sword and I'm sticking with my katana" Kiku told Vash calmly which surprised everyone. Yao looked at Kiku before Kiku got up from his seat and walked out of the room with his katana in its sash. Vash looked at Kiku before he picked up his gun and Yao rushed out the room to go after Kiku. If Kiku said he was going to the mansion then he was going to go without everyone.

Ao Oni The Last Sunrise – Too Distracted

"So, this is the mansion?" Arthur asked and Alfred nodded.

"If Kiku really did want to come here then...this is where he will be" Alfred said. Ivan looked over to the mansion and felt that there was something off about the place. They could only hope that Kiku knew what he was doing ad if he wanted this to happen. Surely if the Ao Oni was real then it would be after them?

"This place doesn't look too bad" Francis said to the group and everyone agreed. Ivan looked around before he noticed that the feeling that he was being watched was there. Surely he would be used to it since his little sister had always followed him around but this was getting a bit this feeling was getting a bit annoying. Ivan notice something move near a window and the feeling of being watched had left him. Ivan smiled before he noticed that Alfred, Arthur and Francis had decided to head towards the mansion.

"Why would Kiku design something that looks so innocent? Yet…capture his curiosity so easily?" Ivan asked the group. The group looked at Ivan before they looked away from him. They had managed to catch up to Kiku, Yao, Ludwig and Feliciano. The group who were already there were waiting for them. Yao had made sure that Kiku wasn't going to be going to the mansion on his own and that he was going to have everyone there. Sometimes it was easy to get the message through the Kiku while at other times it was hard and Yao knew that. It must have been an off day for Kiku as he listened to Yao without any problems.

"Why did you listen to me without any problems?" Yao asked Kiku.

"Because you're my brother and brothers are normally right for me. That's why I've taken your word for it" Kiku told Yao.

"Ve~ they are all coming" Feliciano cried out in joy. The smile on Feliciano's face made Kiku wonder why he was really here. If they were all coming and if they all got attacked by the Ao Oni then surely they were all going to die. Kiku knew the game since he created it but this was nothing compared to the game. There were more than 4 people and this whole place was going to be messed up.

"Hello there chaps" Arthur said with a look of concern on his face.

"We're going in" Kiku said before anything else could be said. The group nodded. Kiku opened the door and stepped inside. The group all followed...possibly to their doom.
