Kyou walked up the stairs to the fourth floor, deciding to try all the doors to see which one the key unlocked. He tried the first one, just to see it didn’t work.

“Crap.” He hissed and moved across to try the second door. Luckily, this one unlocked. He slowly opened the door and looked around, seeing a bookshelf in the corner at the top of the room.

“Bookshelves…say, I wonder if there is a book on how to get rid of obnoxious Italians and cowardice Germans…” he mumbled quietly to himself, walking over to the bookshelf but quickly stopping and instantly unsheathing his katana once hearing a sound. He looked around carefully, and walked over to the bookshelf.

“It sounded like that sound came from behind here…” he shrugged and put his katana back in its sheathe, and slowly moved the shelf to the side. Once finished he looked behind it, raising a brow at a small white blob stuck in a hole in the wall.

“A mochi? He raised a brow at the creature, smirking slightly at it too.

“May as well try and get it out the wall…” he rubbed his hands together before yanking at the mochi, causing it to let out loud squeaks, instantly irritating Kyou.

“Ah! Stop that infernal squeaking!” he let go, covering his ears. Fortunately the mochi stopped squeaking just as the Jap let go, but none the less irritated him. He stood fully and thought about how he was going to get the mochi out of this hole. Suddenly he got an idea, it wasn’t a great idea but it was better than nothing.

“Maybe Jasper can help…” he pondered, thinking out loud. He bowed to the mochi and turned, walking out the room and towards Jasper’s room.

Once getting there he looked around for the curtain but could only see a metal door.

“Are you kidding me…?” he walked over, knocking hard on the door.

Jasper took a while to answer before saying in a pretty sweet voice, “…who is it?” this only irritated Kyou and he said behind gritted teeth. “Open up baka I need to speak to you!”

Jasper gasped and opened the door, “oh! Kyou, Hallo!”

Kyou rolled his eyes. “What’s all this about?” he pointed to the door.

Jasper only replied with “safety.”, Causing Kyou to let out an exasperated sigh.

“Look, we found a weird…mochi…thing and it’s stuck and I need your help getting it out.”

Jasper looked at the safe room he had made and nodded. “Alright. I’ll help you. Um, can you grab my pistol?”

Kyou held it up and threw it towards the German. “I found it earlier.”

“Oh. Danke…” he smiled lightly, “oh and um…I’m kind of hungry…can you give me some food?”

Kyou face palmed. “What do think I look like? Room service?!”

Jasper just crossed his arms, looking as stubborn as ever, “Do you want me to help you or not?”

Kyou growled lowly, so close to kicking the shit out of the German but tried to suppress his feelings, and turned, storming out the room in search for food.

He headed downstairs and heard a sound to his right, so he began walking that way. This took him to the hallway he had been before where he first saw the creature. He walked down the hallway and saw that the room he had tried to get into before was wide open. He smirked, drew his katana and walked straight in, only to see that he room was pitch black.

“Crap…” he shuffled around, trying to look for the light switch and once he had found it, he had come into contact with the creature.

He had already unsheathed his katana but the creature had already attacked before he could do anything. He stumbled backwards, trying to regain his balance and shot forward, attacking the creature. It had critical damage and the creature’s health was quite weak so he expected it to fall over or something but it just disappeared.

“…well that was new.” He had already encountered it once but something was different about it. Anyway, he just shrugged it off and walked into the room. It was sort of a bathroom, and looked a lot like the one he had gotten the water from for Jasper. Over on the far side was a toilet, and next to it a note saying

‘Put money in and food will come out’

“…that is just fucked up. Is that even sanitary?” He raised a brow at the toilet and slowly put the money in, grabbed the food. Next to the toilet, however, he saw a key. Kyou picked up the key and read what was engraved on it.

“Bedroom key… ill check this out then.” He took the key, heading to the next room.
