Once reaching the bottom, Kyou looked around to see which room he was in now. It was almost plain except for a few bookshelves and a large piano.
“Interesting…” he muttered as he walked over to the old piano only to notice it wasn’t dusty and looked recently used.
“What… wait this creature can play piano?” he raised a brow, looking around and pressing a key, and before he knew it, he was pressing more and more keys and was playing a melody.
“Huh! Perfectly in tune…maybe they do play piano…” Kyou shrugged, looking around more and seeing there was a way out the room.
“So, I must be in the room below, I wonder what I could find on this floor…” he mumbled, curious to see what was on the other side of the door. He turned the knob and walked out.

Once he realised where he was something caught his eye.
“I don’t think I’ve been here yet…hey a door on the other side of the hall. Well, it beats effort of walking.” He chuckled lightly to himself then quickly regained his regular stoic self and walked along the hall, and slowly checking to see if the door was unlocked. Once he saw it was, he didn’t hesitate to open it, quietly looking around to see if any more creatures are around. The room he had walked into was the mansions library, just a very large room filled with a lot of book shelves. Hoping one of these books would give him some idea of where the hell he was and what he was doing and how to get out, he walked down the room, only to almost get stabbed my a sudden blade shooting in his direction, and if it wasn’t for his amazing reflexes he would be dead.
he looked around, seeing who was on the other side of the blade and it didn’t surprise him and slightly relieved him to see the short straight reddish brown hair, the beige military outfit, the black fez, the sparkling violet eyes.
“Luciano…to think you were hiding too…tsk tsk how very cowardice of you.” Kyou loved being his cheeky self around the Italian; it only wound him up till he snapped.
“Shut it figa I wasn’t hiding I was…looking for a way out.”
“Looking for a way out?” Kyou raised a brow, “I thought you wanted to go here. Leaving so soon?”
“Well…I was only here because I thought it was abandoned. I didn’t think that… thing would be lurking around here did I?”
Kyou just rolled his eyes, “come on. I’ve found Jasper and Gilen; if we all get together we can find a way out.”
Luciano slowly crossed his arms and smirked “and what do I get if I join you?”
“…I will…” he mumbled, “I will call you my senpai…”
“What was that?” the Italian smirked slightly.
“I said I will call you senpai!” Kyou let out an exasperated sigh, knowing he will never live this down.
“Va bene. I will help you. Now, show me the idiotas…”
Kyou nodded, gesturing for the Italian to follow him and walked out the room and up the stairs to where the mochi and the two Germans were.

Once getting to the room, however, Kyou was surprised to see Jasper and Gilen trying to fight off one of the creatures.
“Wha- what are you two doing?!” he shouted, unsheathing his katana and running towards them, Luciano drawing his blades and running too.
“We were just here waiting for you to come back…” Jasper started, slashing at the thing.
“…and then this c-creature appeared!” Gilen ended, ducking one of its attacks.
Kyou nodded in understanding, standing in front of the two Germans and growling lowly, before Luciano joined him and smirked before shouting “Combattiamo!”
“Lets!” the others shouted before slashing in turn with their weapons and trying to dodge the creatures attacks. It came out successful as they managed to tire out the monster and it just disappeared. Once they were safe the four countries just looked at one another before walking to the middle of the room.
“Thank god it’s gone.” Kyou stated quietly, exhausted.
“Ja…that’s true. ‘Must admit we’re a good team.” Jasper responded, smiling a bit.
“Don’t push your luck.” Luciano piped up. “Now, let’s get to somewhere safe before we get attacked again. Capito?”
“Understood.” Jasper nodded, wondering if there was anywhere in the house that was safe enough. Then Kyou decided to try the lever room and gestured for the others to follow.

Once getting to the lever room, he tried pulling the lever towards heaven and a key fell to the floor. Luciano walked over and picked it up, turning it over in his hands.
“It looks like the key to the second floor…” Luciano murmured, throwing it in the air and catching it.
“Well let’s try there next.” Kyou piped up, turning to walk towards the second floor.
Everybody followed, beginning to try the second floor.
