"We've got no idea Shu, that's what we're going to find out." Something had to be just beyond this door, the only question was what. Between the three of them Takeshi wasn't all that worried, whatever this thing was they could take it. They should just probably be ready for a nice surprise. Putting in the combination to unlock the room he stood at Yumi's side, disappointed to see the room was utterly black inside, no power. Well that was lovely, it's not like they needed to see what they were chasing. To help the situation he ignited one of his hands with Ki, making a small makeshift lantern to use for help. It dawned on him how silly it was that he should be doing this then, the room was massive and his lantern gave perhaps three meters visibility. The only thing it might serve to do now was to attract whatever was in here, most likely to him. Lovely. The stench of food in here was much more powerful, it smelled cooked but a bit old, whatever it might be. There was a lot of it too, that might explain why so much had been dropped on the way here. It would be awfully nice to see just what was going on. "Just keep close guys, if it comes to us then it's best we stick together." 

Rather quickly Yumi had lost her enthusiasm for this search of theirs. Going into an utterly dark room with some creature prowling about was not on her list of fun things to do, and she very nearly backed out. When Shu moved to her for comfort however she remained where she was, clinging onto him probably as tightly as he was her. She'd heard it too, the sound of claws scraping against the metal. Not a very exciting sign, but they were here and might as well see it through. "Don't worry Shu... You're with us... You'll be fine..." She tried to sound reassuring, but her own voice had a rather distinctive uneasiness to it because of the darkness. With Shu at her hip she moved closer to Takeshi, holding onto the back of his shirt and swallowing back her nerves. They couldn't see anything, but maybe she could smell it, wherever it was. Closing her eyes once again she sniffed at the air, scrunching up her nose. There was a fair bit of food down here, making it tricky to pick out the creature. After some more effort however she managed to locate it, nudging Takeshi in the direction it was. It seemed to be... Prowling, as it was moving around slowly in one spot. Was it watching them? Shivering in fright Yumi opened up her eyes, almost pressing against Takeshi's side as she clung Shu to her as well. "It's... Uh... O-over there..." she mumbled, nodding in the direction of the smell.

Great... Both Yumi and Shu were panicked, and now he was starting to feel it too. Mostly because they were worried, leaving him to think this might be a bit more serious than he'd thought. Smiling tightly Takeshi started to walk in the direction he'd been directed, practically dragging his brother and friend along with him. "What is it Yumi? Can you tell what it is?" Raising his hand a bit more he tried to focus the light ahead, only barely managing to extend the area it covered. Well this was just fine, they were walking into goodness knows what and it had them all worried, this was very comforting. 

"No... It's strange... It smells like something, but I can't put my finger on it..." It was [i]definitely[/i] familiar though, and yet mixed with another scent that threw her off. Wracking her brain for an explanation she finally managed to put two and two together. She almost couldn't believe it, but she placed the scent she was picking up. It didn't make a whole lot of sense though, where was the other part coming from? That was completely new, she'd never noticed that one before. Releasing both boys and leaving Shu with his brother she walked forward, just beyond the edge of the light. He was still just ahead of her, and while her eyes were poor in the dark she could swear she saw a silhouette of something. Smiling nervously she crouched down, sniffing at the air before holding her arms to her sides openly. "Viral...? Is that you...?"
