So, this is my first attempt at making a HOTD fanfic and I'm very excited about it. So I'm going to give a brief summary about the story below but before that please don't forget to post review about my story so that I can write to hopefully meet your expectations.

Summary:

In a desperate attempt to escape the cruel clutches of reality he tries to commit suicide but then he is saved bye his aunt who consoles him and takes him away.

Takashi disappeared without a trace after his parents funeral and would not be founded until a year later.

A year later Takashi suddenly appears but with a great change in demeanor and attitude. Read down to find out what happens…

So, that's the summary. I won't take much of your time and will get onto road with this fic. So without any further ado lets begin…!

"Mysterious" Important Element

Highschool Of The Dead: A Different Story

Chapter 1: Misery

3rd person p.o.v

The sky was gray and it rained heavily as if the heavens themselves were crying for some reason. Most of people were already inside their homes seeking warmth from their loved ones. But a few were not. One of these people is a young man who stood in graveyard.

Takashi Kumoru stood in-front of two graves with his eyes closed.

'Rukoru Kumoru 19XX-20XX'

'Megumi Kumoru 19XX-20XX'

'Beloved Husband and Wife, Caring Parents, May Their Souls Now Rest In Peace As They Will Be Forever Remembered By Their Family and Friends. God Bless Them'

'Mother… Father...' Takashi's form trembled as choked on a sob. This was a time most unfortunate for him. Yesterday his girlfriend dumped him and that rather brutally and if that wasn't enough when he returned home he learns from his neighbor that plane his parents were in while returning to home from a trip to NY had crashed and even bad their bodies weren't discovered.

Now he stood there in front of their graves dressed in a black tux as heavy rain hit his form, soaking his tux and everything. He knelt in-front of the two graves and placed a bouquet of white flowers between them.

"Mother… Father… I'm sorry… I was a jerk back then. I was so angry that you were leaving me again to go somewhere that I didn't even say goodbye to you. But… I didn't expect this to happen… I'm really sorry… I failed at being a good son..." Takashi said as tears rained down his cheeks. Takashi sobbed and clenched his fists. "But I promise I won't be a failure anymore. I will grow strong and independent and I'll definitely make you both proud… I hope you both will watch over me… I love you Mother… Father… I hope you'll always be together. Goodbye."

Takashi kissed the tombstones as he rose to his feet. He looked at the tombstones one more time and turned. His eyes landed on a figure who has been standing behind him the whole time without him realizing. The figure was a beautiful woman with shiny silver hair styled in a bob-cut, ruby red eyes, rosy lips and a voluptuous body that can make any man a drooling mess. She was dressed in a black tux and professional skirt and was a large black umbrella shielding her from the assault of rain. This woman was Takashi's aunt and also the same person who saved Takashi from himself.

"Aunt Mikoto..." Takashi said slowly as he looked at the woman. The woman in question smiled sadly at Takashi.

"Takashi-kun… Let's go… The things are already packed up and it's time for us to leave" Mikoto said as she gestured Takashi to follow her. "I hope you have said your goodbyes properly"

"I only meet with Uncle Sam and Aunty Anne" Takashi answered. As he followed Mikoto into a black car. Mikoto raised an eyebrow at his answer.

"Just the neighbors aren't you going to say goodbye to your friends?" Mikoto asked as Takashi's eyes hardened as he clenched his fists.

"What friends?" Takashi asked. Mikoto was about to answer when Takashi cut her off. "I don't have any friends… I was a loner and didn't bother making friends… My only friends were Hisashi, Saya and… Rei… I don't want anything to do with Rei or her boyfriend..."

Takashi gritted his teeth as he remembered how Rei dumped him and how Hisashi just watched. He suppressed the memories and took a deep breathe as he looked out of the window.

"And if they are really my friends… then where were they when I needed them the most?… They weren't there to console me at night… you were… They must have heard the new by now… The whole school knows… Where were they at the time at funeral and when I need a shoulder to cry on?… Uncle Sam was there… The bottom-line is they abandoned me… At least Rei and her boyfriend… I tried calling Saya but she didn't pick up" Takashi sighed sadly as he ran a hand through his wet hair looking out of the now moving car.

"She is still probably mad about me leaving on her or not responding to her messages or some petty reasons like that… It's fine I don't need friends anymore.

I got dumped by my girlfriend who thinks I'm just a loser and won't be able to achieve anything my life. My best friend stole my girlfriend and just stood there besides Rei and watched her tear me down… My childhood friend is bitchy and considers me a wimp who is just too pathetic to even take a shot at life..." Takashi closed his eyes as he let out a chilly breathe as he clenched his hands. He opened his eyes and the once warm chocolate brown were now cold brown. "They don't need me… Nor do I need them. I'm gonna work hard, struggle and I'm gonna make myself strong..."

"I'm not gonna drown in misery anymore"

"I'm gonna be a failure anymore"

Mikoto stared at Takashi for a few moments before she let a small smile cross her face.

"You sure have grown a lot Kashi-kun" Mikoto said with a warm smile as Takashi looked into Mikoto's eyes. "You have made a decision and I'm sure your gonna work hard on it, Right?"

Takashi nodded firmly as Mikoto's smile widened

"Good, Then I'm gonna help you in this and I know just the right place to begin with" Mikoto said as Takashi rose an eyebrow in question. Mikoto just smiled and said "Don't worry Kashi-kun~ You'll soon find out~".

Mikoto chuckled as the car race away as the sky begin to clear up.

Phew~

Finally done. So this was just the prologue. In next chapter there is going to be a one year time skip. Takashi is 16 as of now and will be 17 when he returns. But be warned there be a significant change in his character.
