Painted Piano Keys

Kiku jumped out the way of the Ao Oni's hand as he went to reach him. Kiku had managed to get onto its left hand side and just managed to climb onto the table. He cursed at himself for getting onto a table but he needed to escape from the Ao Oni that was after him. The Ao Oni started walking towards the table and as its blue hand went to grab Kiku's leg Kiku ran at the Ao Oni and jumped up him. His foot hit the Ao Oni's head like it was a platform and jumped off its head and ran out the room. Kiku ran out the room and slammed the door shut and ran before he started to slow down. He looked back at the door and waited...and waited. Kiku was free but for how much longer?

Arthur, Feliciano and Yao all started to head towards the stairs before they all heard a slam of something. Feliciano visible jumped into Yao's arms as he was the closest and clung onto him. Yao carefully put Feliciano down on the floor. Arthur turned to see if anything was coming from behind them but nothing happened. Feliciano seemed to calm down quicker than before.

"What was that aru?" Yao asked Arthur and Feliciano.

"That sounded like a door closing...slamming shut." Arthur told Yao in a response to the questions asked. Feliciano started looking for something in his pockets.

"He must still have the key." Feliciano said sounding a little disappointed. Arthur and Yao looked at Feliciano wondering what he meant by saying that.

"What does Kiku have?" Yao asked Feliciano.

"We found a key that leads to a different room. I don't know what room though." Feliciano told the two ally nations in front of him. Yao knew there was something else going through Feliciano's mind at the moment. He was going to find out one way or another.

"So...Kiku has a key to another part of the mansion...questions is...where's Kiku?" Arthur asked before Yao wanted to ask Feliciano something. Arthur noticed the look in Yao's eyes and it was better to ask now then saving for later.

"Yao...stop looking at me like that." Feliciano said and Yao stopped. Yao was probably going to find out soon enough.

"We're better off as a group...when is Kiku going to let us use our weapons?" Arthur asked Yao.

"Hard to say with Kiku...but we have to find Kiku. He's in danger." Yao told the two nations and they both nodded. Kiku was important for the time being. All three of them set off to find Kiku and hope that he will be alright.

Ao Oni The Last Sunrise – Painted Piano Keys

Kiku waited for the Ao Oni to find him but it never left the room. Kiku walked towards the door and opened the door. He slowly walked inside the room and found that everything was there and the Ao Oni was gone. Kiku breathed a sigh of relief since the Ao Oni was no longer chasing him. Kiku remembered that he had the key with him. The bedroom key. Kiku left the room before he set out to find the other members that he brought here. He heard some people coming down the stairs and decided that he should bring out his katana for defence.

"What key did you find?" Kiku heard Arthur's voice. He put his katana away and started to walk towards the voice.

"Ve~ We found it in the library." Feliciano's voice came and Kiku ran over to them.

"Kiku!" Yao cried out in joy and went to hug his little brother. Arthur and Feliciano gave off a loud sigh of relief which was a good sign. Kiku hugged his brother before Kiku nuzzled into him. Kiku only nuzzled when something was bothering him.

"Well, I'm glad we found you. Feliciano told us that you were attacked by the monster..." Arthur started.

"Ao Oni" Kiku cut in.

"What?" Arthur asked Kiku.

"It's called an Ao Oni just like the game I created." Kiku told the other 3 members.

"Kiku...What's bothering you?" Yao asked.

"Have I ever had visions before?" Kiku asked Yao.

"No...why?" Yao asked Kiku.

"Because I had a vision before I went into the library...the character Hiroshi...was in my vision. He picked up the key that me and Feliciano found before getting attacked by the Ao Oni." Kiku told Yao.

"That's why you stopped me picking up the key before." Feliciano told Kiku and Kiku nodded.

"Hai, I knew that if we picked up the key then the Ao Oni will attack us. I forgot to give the key to you after you escaped." Kiku told Feliciano. Feliciano looked at Kiku curiously.

"What key was it aru?" Yao asked Kiku as he let Kiku go.

"The bedroom key...normally bedrooms are found on the top floor." Kiku told Yao. Arthur's turn to step in came.

"Let's go." Arthur called out and the other 3 nodded.

Ao Oni The Last Sunrise – Painted Piano Keys

They had reached the third floor without any distractions which was a good thing. Kiku unlocked the door and opened the door. Yao was the first person to walk into the room. Yao looked around before he felt something coming closer to him. Yao brought out his wok and ladle before he protected himself from the thing coming towards him. A clash of metal was heard and Yao recognised the clang anywhere.

"Ivan?" Yao asked. Ivan appeared out from the shadows.

"Yao?" Ivan asked confused. Yao looked at Ivan as if he didn't believe that Ivan was really there. Kiku wandered in after hearing the clang and noticed Ivan standing there. He seemed to be perfectly fine and that confused him...when they found Feliciano, naturally Feliciano was panicking and Kiku knew that he needed to stay with Feliciano to at least make him feel a little safer and to keep Feliciano calm.

'So we find Ivan-san...the others are still missing and the Ao Oni left me...so under the bed should be a note for us.' Kiku thought to himself and Ivan smiled and put his hand on Yao's head. Yao didn't look happy but this was Ivan they were with at the moment.

"How did you get locked in here?" Arthur asked Ivan. Ivan took his hand off Yao and looked at Arthur before he started to think.

"I'm guessing that Feliciano told you about the attack that we had?" Ivan asked The group in front of him and they nodded.

"Sorry but I was asked that as well." Feliciano told Ivan after plucking up the courage to ask him.

"Well...After I defended Ludwig from the monster..." Ivan started.

Flashback Start

Ivan smiled as the pipe collided with the monster's hand. The monster then grabbed the pipe and tried to pull it out from Ivan's grip. Ivan wasn't going to let that happen and managed to get the monster to get his pipe back. By this time Feliciano had ran away from the group along with Alfred and Francis. Ivan and Ludwig were the only two left to fight the monster attacking them.

"It's no good...we can't do much when there's just two of us." Ludwig growled to Ivan. Ivan nodded.

"You may have a point but we have to fight if we're going to win." Ivan told Ludwig. Ludwig pulled out his gun and aimed for the monster. Ivan noticed that Ludwig was going to shoot the monster before the monster grabbed Ivan's scarf and he pulled. Ivan cringed as Ivan loved that scarf and he was going to make the monster pay for touching the scarf. Ivan was going to make it personal.

"Ivan!" Ludwig cried out in fear. Ivan struggled to get his scarf out from the monster's grip. A dark purple aura came around Ivan before he managed to get his scarf out from the monster's grip and held his lead pipe in his hand again. Ivan smiled and swung the pipe around and it collided with the monster's head. The monster seemed to take no damage but its interest changed from Ivan to Ludwig.

"Ludwig...you need to look out...it's after you now da?" Ivan asked Ludwig. Ludwig nodded. The monster went after Ludwig before Ivan went to defend Ludwig before the monster swatted Ivan away. Ivan slammed into the fall at such strength that his vision went black.

Flashback End

"And I woke up here." Ivan finished. Kiku looked at Ivan before he sighed. The Ao Oni monster managed to knock out Ivan. Kiku looked over to the beds before he walked over to the bed furthest away from him. He noticed the paper sticking out from the left of the bed.

"Sounds scary." Arthur commented before Feliciano walked over to Kiku. Yao looked at Ivan before he looked around the room. There was something off with the room and he knew that it wasn't going to be good. There were some things that Kiku wasn't telling and Yao could feel it radiating off him. Kiku picked up the paper before he unfolded it and started to look at it. Two rectangle shapes were on the paper and Kiku noticed there was something off on the paper.

"Kiku...something wrong aru?" Yao asked Kiku. Kiku felt the wave of dizziness come over him again. Just like when he put the key into the library door. Kiku's grip on the paper tightened and Ivan began walking over to him. Kiku's legs gave out under him and his vision went black. Kiku fell backwards only to be caught by Ivan.

Vision Start

Kiku awoke in the same room as he was now. He was alone. Kiku looked around before he noticed the silver haired boy walk into the room. Kiku walked up to the boy and waved his hand in his face. This caught the boy's attention.

"Konnichiwa...I'm confused." Kiku told the boy.

"Konnichiwa, my name is Hiroshi. How can I help you?" Hiroshi asked Kiku.

"This is the second time I saw you...I was trying to find out what's happening here." Kiku told Hiroshi.

"Gomennasai…but I don't know your name." Hiroshi told Kiku.

"Hai… gomennasai…konnichiwa, my name is Kiku." Kiku introduced himself to Hiroshi.

"Kiku…that's a nice name." Hiroshi told Kiku.

"What's going on here? Where are my friends? We were all in this room so why aren't they here now and why are you here? No offence." Kiku asked Hiroshi.

"I'm trying to find my friends too. Takeshi, Mika and Takuro." Hiroshi told Kiku.

"I brought all my friends here after finishing a game called Ao Oni and then finding the mansion which I thought never existed…I brought all my main friends over; Alfred, Arthur, Feliciano, Francis, Ivan, Ludwig and Yao." Kiku told Hiroshi. Hiroshi looked over at the Japanese teen before he looked away from Kiku.

"Have you seen the monster?" Hiroshi asked Kiku in a drone tone.

"Hai…I've seen the Ao Oni…" Kiku started.

"Then why did you bring all your main friends here?" Hiroshi cut Kiku off.

"Because…no matter how many times I tell them I'll be fine on my own…they insisted that they came with me." Kiku told Hiroshi.

"I came with my friends because we heard rumors…I believe our curiosity is going to get us all killed." Hiroshi told Kiku.

"Why am I here?" Kiku asked Hiroshi. Hiroshi looked at Kiku like he was insane. Kiku had just told Hiroshi that he came here because of his curiosity with the mansion and the link to his game. Now he's asking why he's here?

"Kiku…are you sure you're alright?" Hiroshi asked Kiku.

"No…I'm not" Kiku said as he sat down on one of the beds in the room. Hiroshi shrugged and noticed the piece of paper. Hiroshi picked it up before he felt a draft coming from under the bed. Hiroshi looked at Kiku who was confusing him before he looked back at the bed.

"Can you help me push the bed Kiku?" Hiroshi asked Kiku.

"Hai" Kiku got off the bed and helped Hiroshi push the bed. While pushing the bed Kiku could feel the draft before the floor below him seemed to disappear. Kiku fell through a hole in the floor.

"Kiku!" Hiroshi called out to Kiku. Kiku looked up to see Hiroshi looking down at him through the hole.

"I'm ok…a…piano?" Kiku looked confused at the piano before he walked towards the piano. He noticed that some red liquid was covering three keys on the piano.

'Three keys? A code?' Kiku thought to himself before his vision started to go black.

Vision End

Kiku opened his eyes and found Yao looking right at him. He looked to see whose arms he was n before he smelt the strong vodka. He was in Ivan's arms. Kiku must have fell from having another vision of some sort.

"You ok Kiku?" Yao asked Kiku as he held his hand out for Kiku to take. Kiku nodded and took Yao's hand.

"It was a vision" Kiku told Yao quietly. Yao's eyes widened after hearing what Kiku had just told him. Ivan noticed before he wanted to know.

"Yao, why did Kiku just collapse?" Ivan asked.

"Kiku had another vision…Care to tell us about it Kiku? Kiku?" Yao noticed that Kiku was pushing the bed that he and Hiroshi had done so in his vision. Kiku noticed that the hidden hole was there. Kiku smiled before he frowned again.

'I can't just tell Yao what happened in the vision. I'm not even sure what happened in the vision but…Hiroshi was there. Looking for his friends. I don't know why I'm getting these visions but…they keep knocking me out causing worry for my friends…the piano' Kiku thought to himself before he moved the bed enough so that he could get down the hole. This time he was aware of the hole and so didn't cause so much injury to himself. Kiku landed on his feet and looked at the piano. Yao was soon to follow him along with the rest of the group. They looked around the room while Kiku mainly looked at the piano. Kiku walked over to the piano before he found the three keys covered in a red substance.

"Kiku…what was the vision about?" Yao asked Kiku.

"I rather not say… gomennasai" Kiku told Yao. Yao respected Kiku's decision and left it to it. Kiku ran his fingers over the keys of the piano before he realized the texture of the substance anywhere. Red paint.

Ivan started to wander around the room trying to find something. He walked over to the two book cases. He noticed that the whole room was white and then the piano was black with red paint over the keys. Ivan noticed a tiny bit of black behind the book case and moved it out of the way. A safe was there behind the book case. Ivan looked at the safe before he looked back at the piano. The link was there and Ivan could feel it. When there was something so obvious there but he couldn't find the answer. The safe needed 4 digits and Ivan had no clue what they were or where they were going to find them but the hint was on the piano.

"Guys…I found a safe…but we need the combination" Ivan told the group.

"It's on the piano…hidden in the pain and if we scratch the pain off…we scratch the numbers off as well" Kiku mentioned to the group.

"Why is Kiku having visions?" Feliciano asked Yao.

"I'm not sure but…he's never had them before. Why now in the mansion?" Yao asked himself more than anyone else. Kiku didn't seem to hear Yao which was a good thing for Yao to see and hear. Yao wasn't sure what to do now.

"Maybe it was back where we passed his door…I was searching there before but I couldn't find it…it might be there now" Kiku spoke quietly to himself. Kiku looked at the door and he went to open the door to find that it was locked.

"Aww…we're locked in" Feliciano cried before Kiku shook his head.

"I can unlock the door you know" Kiku told Feliciano.

"How?" Feliciano asked Kiku. Kiku started working away and he managed to unlock the door and opened the door with a smile on his face. Yao remembered Kiku's name scratched onto the wall in the corridor.

"Kiku…there's something I want to show you…it's really important" Yao told Kiku.

"You can show me after we get the soap to clean the piano…" Kiku started before Yao interrupted him. Reminding him of the way Hiroshi interrupted him.

"Kiku it's important that you see this. Don't pull the rubbish that cleaning the piano is more important than what me and Arthur discovered" Yao told Kiku. Kiku froze on the spot after Yao told him that.

"Hai…gomennasai Yao-san" Kiku told Yao who smiled.

"Let me and Arthur take the lead for a little while." Yao told Kiku. Kiku backed down and Arthur and Yao took the lead for a change. Kiku followed behind both Arthur and Yao as he didn't want to upset them. This was probably the last thing they will remember…if the Ao Oni catches them. Ivan and Feliciano followed Kiku, Arthur and Yao to the place where Yao told Kiku needed to see.

Ao Oni The Last Sunrise – Painted Piano Keys

"Here…" Yao told Kiku before he pointed towards Honda scratched on the wall. Kiku walked up and ran his fingers on the scratching. A strong scent of blood was coming off the wall and Ivan could smell it. Feliciano, Arthur and Yao looked at the scratching before Feliciano and Ivan looked confused. Kiku didn't seem fazed by what was in front of him. Kiku removed his fingers from the wall and looked at them. The soft red liquid which was normally found on the inside of a person was slowly running off his finger. Kiku knew only one thing…The Ao Oni had found one.
