Description The Library

Kiku looked at the key in his hands before Feliciano wandered over to him. There was something bothering him and that was what the key was leading too. Kiku knew that he was soon going to find the Ao Oni just like Feliciano and the others had. They were still lost in the house and Kiku knew that he needed to find them. Yao and Arthur were looking right at him.

"I want to split off into teams...Me and Feliciano-kun will check out the library while you and Arthur-san go and try to find the others. Find anymore unlocked doors. If you find the Ao Oni then run. I know I asked both you and Arthur-san to have weapons but for now just run. Once the group gets bigger then we can start fighting it." Kiku told Yao. Yao smiled and nodded and Arthur looked at Kiku a little lost.

"Why do I have to stay with Yao?" Arthur complained like a little child. Kiku looked at Feliciano before he sighed.

"Feliciano-kun will feel better if he stays with me. That's why I'm letting you two stay together. I know there will only be two in each group but it's better than one" Kiku told Arthur. Arthur understood why Kiku made the move now and waited for Yao to make a comment.

"Ve~ I really get to stay with you Kiku?" Feliciano asked Kiku. Kiku nodded with a smile on his face. Feliciano's face brightened up and it was very clear that he was not going to let Kiku down.

"You're being very brave aru" Yao commented on Feliciano.

"I have to be brave...I don't want to make Kiku feel embarrassed at me for being a coward. I want to find Ludwig as well." Feliciano said with his usual smile on his face. Kiku couldn't forget Feliciano's smile. It seemed to be the only thing bright in this mansion.

"Tread carefully" Kiku warned the three nations.

"You can could on me Kiku aru" Yao said as he saluted Kiku.

"Yao-san... arigatou." Kiku told Yao which caused Yao to smile.

"Good luck" Arthur said before they all nodded. With one last look the group looked at each other before Kiku and Feliciano wandered off towards the library and Arthur and Yao looked for the other nations.

Ao Oni the Last Sunrise – The Library

Kiku and Feliciano were walking down the corridors trying to find the library. Kiku let Feliciano take the key and they started looking around. Kiku was lost in thought while Feliciano was running around the ground floor looking for the library. Kiku was unconsciously walking towards the library. Feliciano noticed and ran over to Kiku and waved his hand in front of Kiku's face causing him to snap out of his thought.

"Kiku?" Feliciano asked Kiku. Kiku looked up at the Italian in front of him before he shook his head.

"Sorry Feliciano-kun...I was lost in thought" Kiku told Feliciano.

"You've been walking towards that door for ages...what's wrong?" Feliciano told Kiku. Kiku started looking around the area he was in to find that he was in the corridor that lead to the kitchen and the living room. Kiku looked around before his eyes fell onto the door in front of him. Kiku's eyes grew wide and Feliciano started to look worried.

"What is it?" Feliciano asked suddenly.

"That's the door to the library...I don't want to enter though..." Kiku told Feliciano. Feliciano smiled.

"We found it!" Feliciano cried out in joy. Feliciano handed the key to Kiku who went to touch the door handle. Kiku put the key into the key hole and then turned the handle to open the door. A wave of dizziness entered Kiku from touching the door handle and turning it. Kiku let the key go and placed one hand on his head. This didn't happen in the game so why was it happening now?

Flashback Start

A silver haired boy with glasses used the key and unlocked the door. The boy worse the black high school uniform that Kiku had seen around while planning the game. Hiroshi was the name of the boy. Kiku remembered. Hiroshi opened the door and walked inside. Kiku was standing there where Hiroshi was and opened the door. He didn't make any sounds like Hiroshi had done. He walked ahead of Hiroshi before he saw the large shadow on the floor around the bookcases. Kiku looked back at Hiroshi who started to look around the library before Kiku found the book that Hiroshi was going to move. Hiroshi also noticed the book and walked over to it. Hiroshi smiled and Kiku panicked. Hiroshi moved the book and found the key. As soon as Hiroshi picked up the key Kiku was thrown back into reality.

Flashback End

"Kiku! Are you ok?" Feliciano asked Kiku. Kiku opened his chocolate eyes and noticed that he was lying on the floor.

"What happened?" Kiku asked weakly.

"You just collapsed after turning the door knob. Feliciano got up from the floor and put his hand out ready for Kiku to take. Kiku smiled and took hold of Feliciano's hand and Feliciano helped Kiku off the ground. Kiku looked at the door before Feliciano opened the door.

What had just happened to him? That never happens in the game...so why was it happening now? Why did he see Hiroshi? So many questions were flying around his head and no answers were coming to him. He collapsed...Feliciano had helped him up from the ground but Kiku knew that he couldn't explain what had just happened to him with Feliciano. Feliciano wouldn't know. If he didn't know then he needed to ask Yao or someone else. Feliciano skipped into the library and Kiku looked up and followed him.

The library was clean and Feliciano started looking around. Kiku's attention was on the book shelves. This was exactly what he saw a few minutes ago. Kiku looked at the book case to find that the books were different and Kiku took the first book on the shelf and started reading. Feliciano started wandering around the library before he found a book case with comic books on and took one off the shelf and started reading. Feliciano started laughing at the comic before he noticed a shadow starting to stretch on the floor. Feliciano knew that it wasn't Kiku's shadow because it wasn't the right shape. The shadow moved closer to Feliciano and Feliciano started to panic. If that shadow didn't belong to Kiku and there was a monster running around then...it belonged to the monster. Feliciano could heavy breathing and he started to feel sweat running down his face. He wanted to panic; he wanted to cling onto someone stronger than him. He wanted...Ludwig. Feliciano thought he could feel the eyes of the monster looking down at him but he noticed the shadow started to move. It moved and it was soon gone. Feliciano decided to put the comic back on the shelf and he wanted to find Kiku.

'I'm scared...no I have to be strong! Feliciano...you have to find Kiku and get out of here with everyone as soon as possible. Kiku's counting on me to strong.' Feliciano thought to himself and he started plucking the courage to help his friend. Feliciano noticed the table with the opened book.

"Kiku...I think I found something!" Feliciano called out to Kiku who was absorbed into a book. After hearing Feliciano Kiku closed the book he was reading and put it back on the shelf. Kiku looked away from the book as he resisted the urge to pick it up again and resisting the urge to read it. He walked back over to Feliciano.

"What's..." Kiku started before he noticed Feliciano standing next to the book. Kiku felt himself going cold in his body and mind. Feliciano looked at Kiku and stopped. Feliciano noticed that Kiku had gone white as paper and he followed Kiku's line of sight. The opened book. There was something wrong with the book and Kiku knew it.

"Kiku...what's wrong?" Feliciano asked Kiku.

"Nothing...nothing at all" Kiku tried to lie to Feliciano but Feliciano saw right through the lie.

"Kiku...please don't try to lie...you have never been good at it" Feliciano told Kiku in a sad tone of voice. Kiku was going to tell Feliciano what was going to happen if he touched the book.

"Gomennasai...but...I can't say. As they say in Arthur-san's country...spoilers" Kiku told Feliciano. Feliciano skipped over to Kiku and wrapped his arms around Kiku. Kiku didn't really care about Feliciano's actions at the moment...what happened next was giving him the creeps.

"Sorry!" Feliciano cried as he got off Kiku. Feliciano noticed that one single tear was running down Kiku's face.

"Gomennasai" Kiku whispered before he noticed Feliciano looking confused at him.

"Why are you sorry?" Feliciano asked the Japanese man in front of him. Kiku moved past Feliciano and walked over to the book with a red cover on and placed his hands on the book. Feliciano watched what Kiku was going to do before Kiku picked up the book and moved it. A silver key was hiding under the book.

'If I pick up the key...I'll meet the Ao Oni that haunts this building...I can't let Feliciano-kun get scared. I told the others that they should not fight the Ao Oni...why should I? I'll give Feliciano the key and use myself to give him time to escape and find the others' Kiku thought to himself as he saw the key on the table.

"Hey...you found a key. Good job Kiku" Feliciano cried out in joy. He wasn't feeling the negativity radiating off Kiku. Feliciano went to grab the key before Kiku stopped him. Kiku grabbed Feliciano's hand and moved it away from the key. Confusion flooded his mind and Kiku was still looking at the key. Kiku knew that he was going to need the key to find the room and then hopefully find someone as well.

Kiku put the book down on the table and reached for the key before he stopped. Feliciano looked confused on Kiku before Kiku picked up the key and looked at what was carved into the key. ベッドルーム. The bedroom key. Kiku looked to his left before he saw the blue body, un-developed hands and feet and body before he saw the face. Black hair was on the monster's head and eyes that looked different. The nose was attached to the face and the creepy smile was on his face. Kiku looked at the Ao Oni coming towards them both. Feliciano and Kiku both screamed in fear.

Ao Oni the Last Sunrise – The Library

"Damn...it's locked" Arthur cursed before he let go of the door handle. Yao sighed. That was all 4 doors on the floor. Yao looked up the stairs before he shook his head. Arthur and Yao were exploring the floor they were on. Yao left Arthur to go wandering back to the room where they had found Feliciano in. As Yao walked through the long corridor before the stairs he noticed a bit of paper which wasn't plastered down to the wall. Yao looked at the paper before he walked over to it. There was something bothering him about the paper before he decided to take his chance and ran his finger along the wall where the paper was. There was something off with the paper and he could tell that as he ran his fingers over the wall. He looked back at where they were before and continued running his finger along the wall.

'These feel like letters...but what do they spell?' Yao thought to himself and he wanted to rip the wallpaper off to find out what it meant.

"Arthur! I think I found something" Yao called to Arthur. Arthur came running to Yao before he looked puzzled.

"You said you found something" Arthur told Yao. Yao nodded and grabbed the corner of the wallpaper and ripped off the paper. Arthur helped Yao pull the wall paper off before they boot stood back and looked at what they had just found. Letters were scratched onto the wall.

"H-O-N-D-A?" Arthur asked. Yao stood back in horror before he fell to his knees. Arthur's mind clicked to what he had just heard and then looked at Yao with depression in his eyes.

"Honda...the only Honda here is Kiku" Yao said quietly. Arthur went down to Yao's level and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Yao...what's wrong?" Arthur asked Yao.

"Honda...that's Kiku's last name" Yao said barley above a whisper. Arthur stuck his finger in his ear to clean the ear wax out from them to get a better hearing before Yao had tears running down his face.

"Sorry there Yao...I couldn't quiet hear you" Arthur told Yao.

"Honda. It's Kiku's surname...Feliciano's no good at fighting but if Kiku's surname is scratched onto the wall then there's a connection" Yao nearly screamed at Arthur. Arthur looked up at the word before he went pale.

"We have to find Kiku!" Arthur said as he got up but Yao held him down where he was. Arthur looked at Yao confused and upset before Yao shook his head.

"Kiku has already panicked here before...I can't let that happen too soon" Yao told Arthur. Arthur received the message. Kiku was going to have to find out on his own and when he does then they were going to help him.

"You're a really good brother Yao." Arthur told Yao.

"If only Kiku would look up to me like that" Yao said disappointedly. Arthur knew that Kiku didn't have a strong brother bond with Yao but probably in a place like this the bond could grow strong like it had been years ago.

"Yao...don't give up hope...everything will be ok" Arthur told Yao. Let's just go looking for the others...and hope we find someone else who can help us" Arthur told Yao who nodded.

"I just hope Kiku and Feliciano are ok" Yao said before he looked up at the word again.

Ao Oni the Last Sunrise – The Library

Kiku stood in front of Feliciano guarding him after he calmed down from the fright of the monster. Kiku noticed how pale Feliciano was but as the monster came closer he needed to get out of the way of the monster. The blue monster looked at Kiku and Feliciano before Kiku looked at Feliciano. Feliciano looked at Kiku before he nodded and started running. Kiku was now free from Feliciano started running as well. The monster started chasing Kiku before a growling noise came from the monster.

"So...you want me first?" Kiku said as he ran behind one of the book cases. Kiku watched as Feliciano ran out the room hoping to find Yao and Arthur. Kiku heard the footsteps of the monster chasing him before he saw its shadow coming closer to him. Kiku panicked before he ran from the book case he was hiding behind before he tried to reach the door. The monster was faster and stopped Kiku getting towards the door. Kiku skidded to a stop and looked up at the monster. The monster tried to grab Kiku but Kiku did a back-flip and avoided the hand. This only enraged the monster more and it came charging at him. Kiku looked up at the monster before he smiled. It was child's play at this rate. Kiku ran off in a direction for the monster to chase him.

"I'm risking it" Kiku said quietly as he ran towards the monster. The monster was caught off guard and Kiku managed to slide under the monster and started to run towards the door. The monster was aware of what Kiku was planning and started to give chase to Kiku once more. Kiku ran into the room where the kitchen and the living room combined. He was ahead of the monster and decided to hide behind the seats that were in the room. Kiku waited patiently. He heard the door open and the monster come in. He heard the monster look around the room before it started walking towards the seats. Kiku knew that he needed somewhere better to hide.

'So...seats won't hide you well...what am I thinking...Feliciano was hiding in one!' Kiku yelled at himself and resisted the urge to slap himself on his face. He saw the shadow coming over him and the seats before he looked up. The monster was looking right at him.

Feliciano was running up the stairs and he heard Arthur and Yao talking about something. He smiled since he had found someone but he felt really guilty for leaving Kiku with the monster. Feliciano ran around the corner and bumped right into Yao. Both Yao and Feliciano fell onto the group.

"Aiyaa!" Yao cried out and Feliciano looked at him. Arthur helped Yao by pulling Feliciano off him.

"I'm sorry!" Feliciano cried. Arthur was expecting Kiku to come running as well since Feliciano ran off away from him.

"Where's Kiku?" Arthur asked Feliciano. Tears started running down Feliciano's face and that caused worry for both Arthur and Yao. It was never nice to hear that one of their nations have fallen. Yao was the one most affected by the news that Feliciano had just said.

"Kiku...monster...I'm sorry!" Feliciano cried out clearly in fear and Yao help Feliciano close to him.

"Feliciano...please calm down" Yao said as he hugged Feliciano. He was using the same techniques that he used with Kiku when he was little. When he was little all the emotions came out at him and he knew what he needed to do. Soon enough Feliciano was calm again and Yao needed to ask some questions.

"What happened?" Yao asked Feliciano.

"Me and Kiku were in the library and then the monster came!" Feliciano cried out. Arthur was the first to jump.

"What are we waiting here for? We have to get Kiku away from the monster!" Arthur cried out and Yao nodded. Feliciano looked up at both nations with worry in his eyes. Yao and Arthur knew that Feliciano did not want to see the monster again but there were times when he needed to be brave. This was one of those times.
