Numbers on the Keys

'So...the Ao Oni found someone...the questions is...who?' Kiku thought to himself before Yao noticed that Kiku was bothered about the blood on the walls. Yao watched Kiku before Kiku soon walked off. Ivan, Yao and Arthur knew that there was something up but Feliciano seemed a little freaked out from the blood on the walls. Kiku walked downstairs followed by Ivan and Yao. Arthur and Feliciano went to follow but they both decided to stay in the piano room to stay there. Arthur could only hope that Yao and Ivan could find out what's wrong with Kiku.

Kiku walked down the stairs onto the first floor along with Yao and Ivan following him. Kiku walked to his right and walked down the corridor to the room where the toilet was located. Kiku immediately found what he was looking for. Detergent. Ivan and Yao walked into the room before Kiku turned to look at Yao and Ivan before he held the detergent in his hands.

"The other door is open...the door where Arthur got scared" Yao told Kiku.

"Arthur got scared?" Ivan asked innocently.

"The Ao Oni was in a room...we all saw a shadow of it on the glass door. Arthur-san tried to look inside but the Ao Oni slammed his hand on the glass. It didn't shatter but Arthur-san jumped as a reaction" Kiku told Ivan. Ivan could easily feel that something was off about Kiku. He knew the game so he knew when the Ao Oni was going to come out and attack them but yet Ivan could see the small spark of fear in his eyes. Why was Kiku scared of something?

"That makes sense...but the room is open though. We can look around in it" Yao said with a smile on his face. Kiku nodded and put the detergent into his pocket before he watched the other two nations leave the room. Kiku knew he didn't need to return to this room but he still looked around for a little second. He soon left the room to follow the others.

Feliciano was sitting down on the piano seat with his fingers on the keys with paint on them. Him and Arthur had tried scratching the paint off but nothing happened. Arthur was wandering around the room trying to work out something while Feliciano looked at the paint. If they were attacked Feliciano and Arthur were going to be in trouble. Kiku told Arthur not to fight the Ao Oni before they had more numbers. With Ivan added to the team then they should be fine but Ivan went with Kiku and Yao.

"Was there blood when you discovered Honda on the wall?" Feliciano asked Arthur. Arthur stopped wandering around the room before he looked at Feliciano.

"No...No blood was on the name" Arthur told Feliciano before a piece of paper floated down from the hole in the floor. Arthur walked over to the paper before he picked it up. Two piano keys were on the paper.

"C and D?" Arthur asked confused before Feliciano played the two keys on the piano. Nothing happened.

"What's wrong Arthur?" Feliciano asked Arthur before Arthur walked over to the piano and looked at the paint before something clicked.

"I'm guessing something is on the keys which help with the safe...this paper as two keys on...and there are four digits on the safe" Arthur told Feliciano.

"Only three keys are covered in paint thought. If the safe is a four digit thing...then why are only three keys caked in paint?" Feliciano asked Arthur. Arthur froze. He forgot that only three keys were caked in paint and he threw the paper over his shoulder.

"I give up" Arthur said before Feliciano picked up the paper and looked at it. Feliciano noticed that there was some type of liquid on the paper and ran his finger over it to see if he was correct. The smoothness of the paper changed as he ran his finger over the page.

"Something's off about the page..." Feliciano commented on before Arthur turned around.

"That's not a surprise...this whole place is off" Arthur felt like he wasn't going to get out of here and that he would be stuck with Feliciano for the rest of his life. Feliciano held the paper up to the light before he could easily see the liquid on the paper and knew that the rest of the clue was hidden.

"Arthur...what removes liquid off paper?" Feliciano asked Arthur. Arthur turned around to see Feliciano before he looked puzzled.

"What?" Arthur asked.

"This paper has some liquid in...It might be hiding our clue" Feliciano told Arthur.

"A paper like that will need a lighter or something like that without burning the paper without damaging the paper" Arthur told Feliciano. Feliciano looked at the paper before he looked at the door. If they wanted to get the clue then they were going to have to find a lighter in the house. They were going to wait here because Kiku, Yao and Ivan were off after looking at Honda carved on the wall...with blood on the letters. Feliciano and Arthur both tried to find out what the liquid was covering but they knew that it will come in handy when they explored a little more.

Ao Oni The Last Sunrise – Numbers on the Keys

Kiku slowly opened the door and walked into the room. He noticed that the place was clean and well looked after but also scared on what the Ao Oni had done in this room. Kiku walked further into the room allowing the other two to follow him in. Yao and Ivan looked around before they noticed Kiku near the bath. The bath was filled to the top with blue water and it wasn't clear. The water with a deep blue colour so that you couldn't see into. Kiku looked at the water with disgust.

"What are you hiding Ao Oni?" Kiku asked quietly. Yao and Ivan watched Kiku as he took his military jacket off and reviled a white tank top on and he reached into the bath. Ivan noticed that Kiku didn't look physically strong with the jacket on but Ivan could see the muscles on Kiku's arms since they were exposed. When Kiku and the other members of the axis were on the island Kiku didn't look as strong as he did now. Yao noticed Ivan was checking out Kiku like a predator watching its prey.

"Ivan...what are you planning?" Yao whispered to Ivan.

"I'm not planning anything. I'm admiring what Kiku looks like under his uniform." Ivan told Yao. They waited for a little while as they both watched Kiku look for something in the bath. Kiku pulled the plug out from the plug hole and the water started to drain out from the bath. Kiku watched as the water level dropped slowly before something started to clog up the plug hole. Kiku reached in and found a key.

"That's what the Ao Oni was hiding" Kiku said quietly.

"What's that Kiku?" Ivan asked and Kiku turned the key over to revile. 屋根裏.

"It says attic." Kiku told Ivan and Yao.

"How did you know that there was something in the bath?" Yao asked.

"It happens in the game...but...there aren't about 8 people here. There are 4." Kiku told Yao. Ivan and Yao both looked at each other before Kiku got up from the floor. His arm still dripping with the blue water and he couldn't put his jacket on without getting the blue water on.

"Only one person survives in one version...but since this house is running on an earlier version of the game...hopefully everyone should live in this...but we have to be careful. The Ao Oni can kill if it wants but it is going to play with us first" Kiku told the other two nations. Kiku could swear that the Ao Oni was watching their moves in the mansion. There wasn't really anything that can happen at the moment because Kiku knew when a key moment was going to come. Kiku looked at the key before he walked past the two nations and left the room. Ivan and Yao followed without even saying anything.

Ao Oni The Last Sunrise – Numbers on the Keys

"So...you have a key to the attic and some detergent?" Arthur asked Kiku. The whole group was back together again and they still weren't getting anywhere. Feliciano had left the paper on the piano and Arthur wasn't going to mention it. Kiku looked around before he remembered that he needed something to put the detergent onto in order to take the paint off the keys.

"Does anyone have a handkerchief? I need to have one if I'm to get the paint off the keys." Kiku asked the group. Arthur pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it over to Kiku. The handkerchief was clean and Kiku poured the detergent onto the handkerchief and gave a small smile.

"Of course you would have a handkerchief Arthur" Yao said with a smile on his face.

"A gentleman never leaves home without one" Arthur told the group. Feliciano noticed that Kiku walked over to the piano and noticed the paper on top.

"What's that?" Kiku asked.

"It might be the hint to open the safe." Feliciano told Kiku.

"Piano keys...that's the clue but with the paint on...we can't read what's on the keys." Kiku said quietly. Ivan and Yao stood guard over the door. If the Ao Oni came they would be ready. Kiku, Feliciano and Arthur stood over the piano before Kiku started removing the paint off the keys. Arthur and Feliciano noticed the numbers on the keys.

"941?" Arthur asked confused. Feliciano looked over his shoulder before he saw a large shadow. Feliciano followed the shadow and saw the feet of the Ao Oni.

"K-k-k-k-Kiku!" Feliciano cried out causing everyone to turn around. The Ao Oni stood there with its large eyes looking at Kiku. Kiku moved his hand over the katana before Feliciano put his hand on Kiku's shoulder.

"There's no way we can fight that thing" Feliciano cried out but Kiku wasn't going to let the Ao Oni go without some sort of pain. Yao and Arthur both knew that Kiku wasn't going to let the Ao Oni go and they could tell from the fire of determination in his eyes. The Ao Oni started walking towards the three of them.

"It would be a good idea to run da? We can't fight and lost the numbers on the piano" Ivan called out to Arthur, Feliciano and Kiku.

"True...come on" Arthur called out. Everyone but Kiku moved from his spot and he waited for the Ao Oni to come closer before he sprung into action. Ivan, Arthur, Yao and Feliciano moved from their spots and they managed to get out the room.

"So...you leave them and stay with me" Kiku said to the Ao Oni. It stopped walking and continued to stare at Kiku in front of it. Kiku looked up at the Ao Oni before Kiku went to slash at the Ao Oni. The Ao Oni swatted Kiku away like he was an annoying fly. Kiku hit the wall and the Ao Oni walked towards him. Kiku was the only one in the room and he was guessing he would make an easy target since he was one of the oldest nations in the mansion. Ao Oni was fairly new so he wasn't expecting the Ao Oni to have good strength. Kiku watched as the demon came closer to him and he knew that he was going to be killed by the demon. Kiku noticed that he was still holding onto the katana and he smiled. The Ao Oni stopped walking towards Kiku and Kiku got up from the floor and easily ran past the demon. The Ao Oni watched as Kiku escaped the room. The hunt was on.

Outside Kiku bumped into Feliciano and Ivan. They didn't follow Yao and Arthur as they ran. Ivan looked at Kiku before he started to run. Feliciano and Ivan both heard the footsteps of the Ao Oni before they started running.

Ao Oni The Last Sunrise – Numbers on the Keys

Arthur and Yao kept running. They both ran into a room with a cupboard in. Arthur and Yao both looked at each other before they both ran towards the cupboard.

"There's enough space for both of us to fit in" Arthur told Yao.

"You have to be kidding me aru! There is no way I'm getting in there with you" Yao exclaimed out of rage. Arthur looked at Yao before he sighed.

"Are you coming in there with me or are we going to have of hear one of us suffer?" Arthur asked Yao.

"Kiku told me that it would rather toy with us before it kills us" Yao told Arthur.

"I would rather keep both of us hidden just encase the Ao Oni is close to finding us. So get in the cupboard" Arthur growled at Yao. Yao nodded before he climbed in the cupboard and Arthur soon followed. Both of them were in the cupboard before they heard the door open. Yao and Arthur fell silent in the cupboard not wanting to draw attention. The strong sent of tea was in the air in the cupboard. Yao wanted to fall ill at the strong scent but he knew that any sound could alert the Ao Oni into finding them. Yao and Arthur were silent before the creature in the room decided to leave the room. Yao opened the cupboard slightly and noticed that the coast was clear for the two of them to come out. Yao opened the cupboard enough and both Arthur and Yao climbed out the cupboard.

"Dude!" A voice yelled at both Yao and Arthur. They both jumped 5 feet into the air after hearing that word. Arthur realised that Alfred was there with a smile on his face. Alfred soon invaded Arthur's personal space and gave Arthur a hug.

"What are you doing here?" Arthur asked Alfred.

"Dude! I've been looking for you. Ever since you left with Yao and Kiku...a massive blue monster thing came and I ran with Francis" Alfred told Arthur. Arthur looked at Alfred before he stroked his hair to keep Alfred calm. Alfred did seem to be calm down after Arthur started to stroke his hair. Yao smiled since it was the same way how he calmed down Kiku when Kiku seemed a little stressed.

"How did you escape from the monster?" Yao asked Alfred.

"I just ran...away from the monster" Alfred told Yao and Arthur.

"No back story?" Arthur asked Alfred who shook his head.

"I can take you to Francis though. Me and him managed to stay together" Alfred told Arthur and Yao. They both nodded and Alfred started to take them to Francis.

"Ve~ I'm hungry" Feliciano complained. Kiku and Ivan were out of breath after escaping from the Ao Oni. Feliciano had kept on running while the Ao Oni was there. Kiku and Ivan stood there panting after the run. Kiku looked behind him before he noticed that the Ao Oni had left them.

"We...lost...him" Kiku said through his intake of breath.

"Da..." Ivan said with a smile on his face.

"Where are we now?" Feliciano asked and Kiku looked around. He wasn't sure where they were but they were still in the mansion and that was a bad thing. Ivan stood next to Kiku before he placed his hand on Kiku's shoulder.

"What do we do now?" Ivan asked Kiku.

"Feliciano is hungry...we better find food so that he can eat." Kiku told Ivan and Feliciano agreed with what Kiku had just said.

"Kiku...there is something that is bothering me." Ivan told Kiku. Kiku turned to look at Ivan.

"What is it?" Kiku asked.

"You've been injured" Ivan told Kiku. Kiku looked at his arms and he looked at the rest of his body. He noticed that his white uniform had been stained with his blood. Feliciano looked back at Kiku before he felt panic build up inside of him. Kiku had been injured and he didn't know how. Ivan watched as Kiku took his jacket off and noticed that his shoulder seemed to have a large cut down. Kiku didn't even know how the large cut appeared before he remembered that the Ao Oni swatted him away. Kiku didn't even feel the injury happen but now since he found out that it was there. It started to sting. Kiku winced in pain as the sting was irritating him. He was use to having injuries from the natural disasters that hit his country and from wars with other countries but this was annoying him more. Ivan watched as Kiku put his hand over the cut which seemed to have a tinge of blue in the wound.

"Kiku...is it suppose to be blue?" Ivan asked Kiku.

"No...but I know how to clean it...to stop the wound from getting infected and to clear the essence of demon out" Kiku told Ivan.

"Ve~ what do you need?" Feliciano asked Kiku.

"We need the kitchen..." Kiku told the two nations with him. Ivan didn't seem like a nation he would trust but at this moment...if Yao was there he'll be fussing over him. What Kiku needed at the moment was a strong nation like Ivan to be with him. Ivan had a strong aura which cancelled out Feliciano's aura. Kiku moved his hand over his wound and he looked ready to pass out any second now.

"I think it would be good if you take it easy Kiku" Ivan told Kiku.

"No...I'll be fine...Everything...should be in the kitchen" Kiku managed to say. Feliciano and Ivan both knew that Kiku was hard working but they also knew that if the wound left by the Ao Oni would slowly kill him. Kiku needed help.
