Yukari: You didn't even finish your other three!

Me: Oh, who cares!

Rei: I don't.

Me: Exactly! Now! Onto the show! I added some things to flesh out Serenity and (ESPECIALLY) Tristan. (I just realized what that sounded like! XD) DISCLAIMERS!

Yukari: Rose doesn't own YuGiOh! series, the characters, or TWD and it's characters.

Me: NEW STORYYYYYY! XD

Rei: -hits my head- Cut it out already!

Me: -pouts, holding my head- Fine… TT~TT

Chapter 1

A Day Like Any Other

The day started like every other day. Yugi got up, got dressed for school, said goodbye to his grandfather, caught up with his friends and got through his classes. He took the notes during lectures in some classes, and in others, he was lost in thought with his head resting in his palm and turned towards the window he sat beside. He thought about the usual things in his life and wondered what day would change his life for better.

Soon the bell rang, signifying the students that it was lunchtime and they were dismissed. Yugi and his friends: Joey, Serenity, Tristan and Tea sat on the roof their lunches.

Joey Wheeler was a tall, blonde with a detention record for his usual snide, smart-ass comments and talk-backs. Not to mention his urges to punch something; more accurately, someone who pissed him off. Joey was left in the hands of his drunk and abusive father when his parents divorced. But he was lucky that Serenity would go to the same school as him. And even when he came to school with a new band-aid on him, while Serenity frowned, Joey smiled for her. He was a very loyal friend to Yugi, and Yugi appreciated that very much.

Tea Gardner was Yugi's childhood friend ever since elementary. This blue-eyed brunette was a very nice and sweet girl. She stuck up for Yugi whenever someone was bullying him and tried to get herself into things that Yugi showed her that he liked. Always supportive of her friends, Tea, being the kind girl she was, made sure everyone was feeling okay. If they weren't, she would drag them to the nurse. Whenever one of the girls or one of her friends needed advice, they knew to go to Tea.

Serenity was Joey's little sister. While she was with her mother, she slowly became depressed, not sure what to do without her big brother around. She even starved herself a few times whenever something reminded her of Joey. So her mother decided to enroll her into the same school as Joey's. Soon after that, sweet, sweet Serenity instantly became her usual cheerful self. If you ever want to find Serenity, you will most likely find her with her protective big brother.

Now, Tristan Taylor isn't much…or is he?! He may seem average looking, but he is very unique. In the beginning, Tristan was bullied in his younger years for constantly talking about how he dreams to clean up the world. Tristan, being weak, couldn't do a thing. But then Joey came along. He was one of the popular kids in elementary and stood up for little Tristan and taught him how to defend himself and how to defend others. When upon meeting Serenity, he believed love at first sight. But of course, being the now, cool and smooth Tristan, he did it subtly. Apparently, too subtle when Serenity was completely oblivious to his hints. But like Joey, he would do everything in his power to clean the bullies' error of their ways.

They all spoke about their classes and other such things.

"Gruhh.."

Yugi glanced to the edge of the roof, hearing something strange. His friends looked to him. "Hey, Yugi, what's up?" Tristan asked.

Yugi shrugged his shoulders, keeping his eyes glued to the edge. "I don't know…I thought I just heard something…" He replied.

"What was it?" Tea asked with a small tilt to her head.

The noise became a bit louder. "Gruuhh…"

"It was sort of like… a moan..." Yugi vaguely answered as he stood. He walked over to the edge and placed a hand on the fence. His eyes widened at the sight as his body froze him in place. His friends all stared at him expectantly.

Joey got up and walked up to the edge. "Yug'? What's wrong?" he asked. His eyes widened along with Yugi's. "What the hell…" he whispered.

The others looked to each other before getting up to see what was going on. They were speechless. There was a large group of people of twenty who were limping around. They all liked like they had been through a fire and had some flesh peeling off of their faces. Some had missing extremities and some had some of their clothes torn.

Tristan nervously chuckled. "Th-there's no way…"

"Well, apparently there is." Joey mumbled back.

Serenity looked between the people and her big brother. Why wasn't anyone explaining this to her?

"Joey? What's going on?" she asked getting a little scared with her brother and friends acting this way. Joey turned his attention to his sister, and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. He brought her close to his chest.

"I dunno yet, Serenity." He half-lied to her.

Being close to his chest, Serenity felt a sense of security. But at the same time, she could feel her brother's heartbeat pick up, which also made her feel insecure at the same time. But she chose to trust her brother and would rather have comfort over fear.

They looked back down to the gates and noticed that when some of the students got close to the closed fence, the people looked towards them and reached their hand through the gate to them. They were lucky that they weren't grabbed, but they screamed and yelped in the progress. At this time, the administration staff was outside with the principal and vice principal, telling students to back away from the gates.

"Well…wh-what do we do now?" Tea's voice shakily asked as she glanced between each of her friends. Joey, Yugi, and Tristan all glanced between her and each other before Joey decided to speak up.

"M-Maybe it could be nothin'. We should just… stay up here for now an' wait an' see what happens." Joey said, rubbing his sister's back.

"Could be…" Tea agreed, feeling a lot better in the situation.

They continued watching the gate.

"What in the world happened to these poor people?" The vice principal asked.

"Maybe an accident?" One of the administrators suggested.

"We need to get these people away from the school. That's our top priority right now." The principal stated to them. The rest of the group nodded.

"Keep the students away from the gates." The principal said as she walked towards the people. "Akuna-sensei!" they exclaimed while she made her way to the gate carefully before standing in front of the people; just out of their reach.

"I must ask you to leave," she announced to them. "This is school government property! I cannot allow you on the grounds unless you have a visitor's pass!"

The people she directed her speech to, only made moaning and groaning sounds in their raspy voices and still tried to reach out to her. Mrs. Akuna narrowed her eyes and took a step forwards.

She reached out to push them back, but the vice principal pulled her back and into the safety of the school grounds. "What was that for?!" she growled up at him.

"They didn't look safe for you to touch." He replied.

Meanwhile, all the students, both inside and out were watching this scene, and the ones by the gate didn't notice one of the other administrators walk towards the gate until it was too late. A few students yelled at them and they all looked towards her and yelled for her to come back but she was already grabbed.

"Let go of me!" She demanded as she tried to pull away, but there were a few that took a hold of her. They pulled her close and everyone watched as the people bit into her, one into her neck, one into her right arm, and one in her side. She screamed as they tore the flesh from her body. The students screamed as well, and others tried not to throw up when others did.

They all ran forwards to pull her back. They managed to succeed but the woman's body was limp. Laying her on the ground, they examined her. Blood squirted and seeped out of her body, creating a pool around each area. Her face held a look of terror. They all had faces of shock and fear.

"What the hell?!" The vice principal exclaimed.

"Not around the students, Mr. Kanata!" Akuna scolded. "But I agree..."

"Cannibals!?" another of the administrators said.

The custodian came along and stared at the dead woman on the ground. He heaved a heavy sigh and closed her eyes. But there was a soft growl. He looked at her a little curious, but then screamed when her eyes shot open. Her hands reached up and grabbed his wrist. She brought it close to her mouth, but the custodian was stronger than her and pulled his hand back.

"Are you alright, Takano?" Akuna asked, kneeling beside him.

"Yes, I'm fine, Mrs. Akuna…" he assured.

"Nikane-san..?" Mr. Kanata mumbled, as the woman sat up from where she laid. They watched she got up and lunged at Mr. Kanata. Luckily, he got out of the way in time, but Nikane got the other administrator and bit into her shoulder. Another scream was let out, but no one helped her, she was tackled to the ground as her skin was torn from her body. Being eaten by someone who they knew didn't eat meat.

"Oh my god…" Tea whispered, while her hand reached up to her mouth.

Joey hid Serenity away from the edge from where it was happening. "Joey…what's going on?" she asked, crying into his shirt.

"It's something bad, sis. It's something really bad…" he told her, still rubbing her back in comfort.

"You guys saw what I saw, right?" Tristan asked.

"Ms. Nikane was bitten by cannibals…" Tea replied, her hand still over her mouth.

"And then she was the one biting into Mrs. Kisumu…" Yugi added quietly.

"She's even a vegetarian…" Tea brought up.

"You guys aren't really helpin' me with Serenity here." Joey growled.

"Sorry…" they chorused with their apologies.

Joey sighed and continued trying to calm his sister down.

"So…what now?" Tea asked again.

They were silent for the longest time.

'I can't believe what I'm seeing right now…' Yugi thought. He focused back on the ground and watched as more and more people were getting bitten. His hand tightened on the fence before he let go of it. He turned to his friends with a serious frown. "We need to get off of this roof sometime… We can't just stay here. If we stay here… we'll end up like them…" he told them.

His friends nodded and forgot all about their lunches when they ran down the stairs from the roof. It seemed like no one had a better plan. They ran in the hallways, seeing people lock themselves in classrooms as they rushed past. They jumped steps when in the stairwell. They finally made it to the front of the school where the entrance was being blocked by the nearest furniture.

They saw the people who were bitten trying to get in; by pushing against the door and they saw what was left of the adults and some of the students help push against the force.

"Uhh… step two anyone?!" Tristan exclaimed to his friends.

'I…don't understand… This was meant to be a day just like all the others have been…' Then his eyes widened when he was reminded of what he thought about in class today… When he wondered when things would change.

'But for BETTER! Not WORSE!'

"WHY COULDN'T THIS DAY BE LIKE ALL THE OTHERS?!"

Me: BOOM! Whatcha guys think? Pretty cool, huh?

Rei: They probably hated it.

Me: HUH?! YEW DUNNO DAT!

Yukari: She could be right…not many people like gore and bad language.

Me: ...I do have quite the potty mouth goin' on here, huh? But! I can only hope for da best! I hope you liked Chapter 1! I mean, 6 pages, DAMN!

Yukari: Please leave CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISISM in your review! It's much appreciated! :3

Rei: Here's hoping that Rose won't take another two to three years in continuing her stories.

Me: I'm sorry, ok..? –pouts- Oh! And please tell me if you think I should include some of The Walking Dead (show/comic or game) characters OR The High School of the Dead characters or both. Even though I did say game for the crossover… But yeah! Definitely adding Clementine, though.

All: Thanks for reading! See you in the next chapter!
