Blood is really warm

It's like drinking hot chocolate

But with more screaming—Ryan Mecum

I had stayed up late on the night before everything came to an end. I never thought this would even happen, this only happened in movies. Not in real life, and now the world was going to shit and the only thing we could do was survive.

"Hurry!" Takashi shouted at us, making his way through the swarms of our undead schoolmates. Geoffrey and I took the lead up front, Takashi and Hisashi behind us and Rei all the way in the back.

Takashi was wielding a bat, Hisashi didn't have anything, Rei had a broken piece of wood from a broom with the metal tip on the front, Geoffrey somehow managed to get his hands on a M21 and a bowie knife, and I had my two pistols and my sword with me.

We all made our way upstairs to the roof when Takashi looks back and asks, "Hisashi are you okay?" Hisashi had been bitten but no severely, but if this was like the movies then he didn't have much time left to live. I could only hope for his sake he didn't turn into one of them. "I'm fine Takashi!"

Rei turned her head and suddenly attacked one of them. She stabbed it in the chest and it slumped forward, making her smile a bit in relief. Takashi looked at her with wide eyes, "Are you nuts?!"

The zombie managed to get ahold of her weapon, yanking it out of her hands, swinging it and hitting her in the gut, and against the wall. Rei fell down, grimacing in pain. The zombie was on its knees and making it's way towards her, it's body almost reminding me of a spider at the way it crawled. Rei was paralyzed in fear, her eyes wide with terror. "GET AWAY!" She shouted.

"Rei!" Hisashi screamed about to make a move. I frowned; he wasn't going to save her in time. I pulled out my handgun, aiming and shooting the zombie in the head. The zombie's brains splattered everywhere, covering some of Rei's school uniform.

Rei quickly got up, pushing past me and running to her boyfriend. I scowled heavily. I don't get even a thank you? Females.

"Did you see that?" Hisashi asked us, looking at the body of the female schoolmate.

"Yeah, we have to smash their heads or shoot them in the head to kill them," Geoffrey said simply. We all looked at him, nodding to him before making our way up the stairs once more.

I growled and kicked a female zombie in the face, watching as she tumbled down the stairs, smashing her head open.

"Hyori hurry up!" Takashi shouted back at me and I quickly ran back up the stairs to catch up with everyone. Rei had put Hisashi's arm around her shoulders and helped him to the top of the stairs. Once we were all up the stairs, all of our eyes widened in shock when saw more of the undead.

"Goddamit," Geoffrey muttered in annoyance, readying his M21.

"Kami," I muttered in shock as I watched our undead schoolmates look towards us, stumbling towards us, their arms outstretched as they groaned loudly, snapping their jaws together. I put my gun away and pulled my sword out of my sheath.

Takashi looked around and then screamed, "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?"

—Earlier Today—

Takashi was leaning over a railing, looking dour as usual. Standing next to him was one of his classmates, Geoffrey Kuribayashi Dees. Him and Geoffrey weren't as close as him and Hisashi were, but since Rei dumped him for Hisashi, their relationship has become strained.

He met Geoffrey one day when he was skipping class. It was random; they didn't say anything to each other at first before Takashi mumbled out a greeting to him. Geoffrey was in his Japanese History class; he didn't seem that interested in the class until Japan's military history was brought up. Though he did seem to have more knowledge when it came to Western military.

"Still thinking about that girl again?" Geoffrey asked as he leaned against the railing.

Takashi felt his cheeks turn a bit pink. Was it that obvious? "Yeah…" he said with a heavy sigh. "Pathetic right?"

Geoffrey shrugged his shoulders. "Not really pathetic I would say it's more—"

"Pitiful? Sad? Disgusting?" a voice asked. Geoffrey and Takashi turned their heads to see Saya Tagaki, straight A student and first class bitch.

Tagaki was a shorter than both Geoffrey and Takashi with pink hair that could be mistaken for fake and was kept in two ponytails, orange colored eyes and she was very slender.

"No I think the correct word is stupid!" she said with a scowl, crossing her arms. Geoffrey rolled his eyes. He respected Saya because she was smart but disliked the fact at how stuck she was.

Takashi scowled a bit, but his eyes were soft when he looked at her. Him and Saya had been childhood friends so he I didn't bother him that much when she spoke to him that way. "What do you want?"

Saya looked at Geoffrey who only gave her a dismissive look, which caused her to scowl.

"Every time you have to face something you don't like you always come to this stupid staircase. It's like your own little pity corner! Look at you! The first semester just started. How ever are you going to make it through the year?" she asked, crossing her arms.

Takashi eyes wandered over to her breast and Geoffrey followed his eyes, also staring at her chest. They both looked down, then back up, a blush tinting their cheeks. Takashi coughed, giving Geoffrey a look and he nodded in agreement.

Saya Tagaki was pretty damn good-looking.

"I could say the same thing to you," he shot back defensively.

"And shouldn't you be in class?" Geoffrey asked with a raise brow. "Or did you come back here to see Takashi?"

Both Takashi and Saya blushed. She glared at Geoffrey and scoffed at him, crossing her arms. "It's okay that I'm not in class, I'm a genius, unlike the both of you who got into this school by dumb luck," she snottily shot back.

Takashi sighed, "Tagaki, why do you always got to diss me and Geoffrey every time you come out here?"

"Because I don't like stupid people."

"What?" Geoffrey and Takashi said at the same time. Geoffrey could feel himself getting annoyed with Saya more than usual today; rolling his eyes he looked at Takashi. "Look, I'll see you later Takashi," he muttered.

If he stayed around longer, he'd have the urge to shoot himself or her.

"Yeah, see you Geoffrey!" Takashi called back.

Geoffrey made his way back inside the school, not in the mood to really go back to the class, deciding he'd go to his next class. He was calmly walking down the quiet halls and stopped, noticing something was happening in front of the school. He looked out the window to see a bunch of the PE teacher's eating one another.

"What the hell…?"

Next thing you know he was practically tackled to the ground. He groaned at the impact, feeling something fleshy and warm in his face. He opened his eyes, and they widened even more when he saw that it was a pair of breast in his face. He blushed furiously and the girl who was on top of him, quickly got off of him.

He held his nose, feeling his cheeks becoming redder by the second. He quickly stood up, surveying the girl who bumped into him.

She had olive green colored hair that was in a messy bun at the moment held by chopsticks, bright green eyes, pale creamy skin, a very large chest and rosy pink lips that was curled into a scowl at the moment.

"Watch where the fuck you're going," she hissed out and pushed past him. His eyes followed her, his brow furrowing as he tried to figure out who she was. Then it suddenly hit him, Hyori Watanabe. She was in the top ten most "hottest girls" that was in Fujimi High. From what he heard, she was cold and captain of the Boxing club at the school and co-captain of the Kendo club.

What was she doing outside of class?

Hyori went to her locker, opening it and pulling out a duffel bag. Geoffrey watched her, wondering what the hell she was doing.

She dug into the duffel back and pulled out two guns. His eyes widened.

Those were high standard 1911 GI semi-automatic pistols! Why the hell would she bring them to school of all places? Well he can't say anything, he brings his M21 to school just in case anything bad every happened.

Hyori grabbed a holster belt, putting both of the pistols in them and then pulled out a long sword, strapping it to her back.

"What the hell are you doing?" he asked, walking over to her.

Hyori looked at him, taking him all in before her eyes rested on the worn down cowboy hat on top of his head. "Look here Cowboy, people are eating each other outside of the fucking school. And I'm not going to be sitting around while shit is hitting the fan. So I suggest you grab a weapon and get your ass in gear," she said, standing up, holding her duffel bag.

"What?"

"Look I don't feel like repeating myself, but if you want to live or find out what the fuck is going on, I suggest to you that we start moving," she said and ran down the hallway.

"Dammit," Geoffrey grumbled out and followed after her. If what she said was true, he's going to need his gun and knife.

"I need to get my weapons to!"

She growled in annoyance but nodded. "Fine."

Geoffrey then began to lead her in a different direction, back to where his current class was. He looked inside to see Takashi arguing with both Rei and Hisashi, shaking his head. His locker was right by the classroom. He had one of those extremely long lockers, which was perfect for him to fit his gun in.

He opened the locker, pulling it out along with his bowie knife. He slammed his locker shut and noticed Hyori's eyes on him.

"What?"

Hyori shrugged. "Mm, I guess I'm not the only one who brings weapons to school in case shit like this happens," she said simply, a slight smirk tugging on her lips.

Geoffrey didn't reply to her and opened the classroom door. "Takashi we have to get out of here!"

The whole classroom looked at him and his teacher, Mr. Oorizuka scowled. "Geoffrey where have you been? Skipping class again?"

Geoffrey ignored the teacher, seeing the class stare at him. "Look we have to get out of here, people are eating each other outside!"

"And if you don't get out of here, you'll all die," Hyori said coldly.

Suddenly the intercom came on and the principle began to tell the students to stay with their teachers and find a safe place to hide. But he wasn't able to finish because something had come into his office and the last sound heard was the screams of the principle.

The class went silent and everyone's eyes were wide. "No way…"

Suddenly a girl shrieked and made her way to the door, and soon the rest of the students were running out of the room, Mr. Oorizuka shouted at them to calm down and remain seated.

"See? Now we have to go now!" Takashi said, grabbing Rei and pulling her out of the classroom with Hisashi in tow.

They all watched the other students go down the hall way and stairs, screaming loudly in a panicked frenzy. Hyori scowled a bit and shook her head.

Fools…and yet…I hope she's safe and sound. But I'm sure she can handle herself…she thought with a slight frown.

"Whose this?" Rei asked, looking at Hyori up and down. Hyori glared at the orange-haired girl.

"Hyori Watanabe, it's a pleasure to meet you," she said sarcastically. "Now that introductions are done, how about we get you guys some weapons and get the fuck out of here?" She cocked her gun, earning a few stares from her schoolmates.

Geoffrey smirked, cocking his gun also. "Couldn't said it better myself."

—Now—

I scowled at Takashi as he screamed. I nudged him roughly with my elbow. "Screaming won't help us dammit, so shut it."

Geoffrey nodded. "We have to barricade ourselves."

Takashi, Hisashi and Geoffrey grabbed a few tables that were in the shed at the top of the roof, barricading us from them. But I knew that the barricade wouldn't hold them off for long; maybe a few minutes at most but not enough time.

Later Rei came out with some water bottles, handing each of us one. I more or less, snatched it from her hand, earning a glare from her. I ignored her glare and my eyes kept going to the wound on Hisashi's arm. I noticed Geoffrey looking at it also.

We both gave each other a look, a silent acknowledgement passing through us, as we knew something was going to happen to Hisashi, if not know then later.

"Geoffrey, Takashi, Hyori; do you guys have a cell phone on you?" Hisashi asked us.

"I got mines taken about a week ago by Mr. Oorizuka," Geoffrey grumbled, crossing his arms.

Hisashi looked at me. I shrugged as I leaned against the railing. "I don't have a cellphone, I see no need in using one," I said with a shrug. It may sound weird, but I wasn't all up for cellphones. If anything I was more of a computer girl than a cell girl.

Hisashi sighed. "I have a cellphone," Takashi said, pulling it out from his pocket. "I'll call the police." He dialed the number and put it on speaker.

"This is a recording. We at 110 emergency lines are held up at the moment. If after calling again, and we still can't receive your call, please wait and call again later." A recorded female voice said. I growled, even the police were fucking busy. What the hell was happening?

"Dammit!" Takashi shouted in frustration.

"Takashi?" Rei asked slowly.

"Two hours…just two hours ago, everything was just like it always was! Why is this all happening? It's like something out of a movie—"

"A George Romero movie to be exact," I said, cutting him off. He threw a glare in my direction and I only shrugged him off.

He sighed, running his fingers through his hair. "Dead people come back and start killing everybody else, and the ones get killed…they get up and do the same thing! I'm not turning into one of them," he said venomously.

"You won't," Geoffrey said, putting his hand on his shoulder. "I got ya back Komuro."

Takashi looked back at Geoffrey and gave him a slight smile. In this past year Geoffrey was seeming more and more like a friend than Hisashi ever was, even though the seemed extremely different and Geoffrey didn't talk too much.

"Thanks man," he said.

[SBD: Such a bro moment X3]

"That's the P.E. teacher…" Rei said, biting her bottom lip softly. I looked over, noticing he was trapped and I frowned. "He's a goner…"

"B-But someone can save him!" Rei said, I shook my head at her. But then both of our eyes widened when we saw him jump over the railing. Jesus Christ.

"I can't…I can't take this anymore," Rei said as she clung onto Hisashi. I only rolled my eyes. The girl was being over dramatic. Has she ever seen anyone die before?...Well I guess that's just only me then.

"I don't understand! I don't understand at all! Why…? Why!" She asked, tears entering her eyes. "There must be a reason…"

Suddenly we heard the sound of blades spinning. Helicopters?

A helicopter came up and they were so close that I lose my balance for a split second. I let out a little gasp of surprise as I fell back along with Rei. I felt arms wrap around my waist as the wind began to pick up. I felt the heat rise to my cheeks, pulling down my skirt, not wanting my underwear to be exposed.

I looked up to see Geoffrey holding me, a slight awkward look on his face. I quickly pulled myself from him, coughing. "Thanks…"

"Yeah…" he muttered, tipping that goofy looking cowboy hat of his down.

"They're Black Hawks," Hisashi said.

Geoffrey then added in, "It's the American army—no, it's the self-defense force!"

How the hell did he know that?

"Where did they come from? There are no bases or anything around here…" Takashi said in disbelief.

Rei ran forward and waved her hands around like a maniac. "Help us! Help!" she shouted loudly. I slapped her hand down and she glared at me. "It's useless you stupid girl," I said, pushing her hand away.

She scowled at me. "How come?!"

"Think about what Takashi said, use that small brain of yours," I said, tapping my head.

"He's right to question where they came from. They are probably here to carry out some specific order; they aren't here to help us," Hisashi said with a heavy frown.

Hisashi suddenly coughed and hacked loudly, falling to his knees. My eyes widened when I saw him hack up blood.

"Hisashi what's wrong?" Rei asked worriedly.

"He's going to turn into one of them," I said simply. Rei glared at me.

"Why is this happening?! He wasn't even bitten badly! How could this…?" Takashi asked, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"It's like a zombie movie. Once you are bitten, you'll turn. Whether it'll take an hour or even five minutes. There is no saving him," I said; cocking my gun at Hisashi, ready to shoot just in case he turned.

"Just like the movies huh?" Hisashi said bitterly, his voice sounding as if he lost all hope. He was going to die, whether he wanted to or not.

"That's not true! This isn't a movie!" Rei argued, tears falling down her face.

"Thankfully this isn't an anime or there would be a lot of fanservice," Geoffrey said. Even though I enjoy the fanservice…he thought, a smile coming onto his lips.

[SBD: Geoffrey you broke the fourth wall! :O]

"Maybe not, but it might as well be…" he said.

"Takashi…could you do me a favor?" He asked.

"…What is it?"

"If you throw me over the railing, down there…the impact should break my head open," he said. My eyes widened.

"What are you saying?" Rei screamed at him. I frowned, wasn't it obvious? God that girl annoyed me to no end.

"I don't want to become one of them!" he shouted at her.

"He wants to still be the same person before he turns into one of them. Let him keep his humanity while he still has it," Geoffrey said, crossing his arms. I looked at him, almost forgetting that he was still there…almost.

"Takashi, I'm counting on you. I don't want to turn into something else…" Hisashi soon was coughing, blood splattering out on the ground before him as his body shook in agony before he fell to the ground, dead.

"Rei…get away from him," I said slowly. She was on her knees, near her boyfriend as she cried. "He won't change dammit! Hisashi won't turn into one of them!" she screamed angrily at all of us.

My eyes widened once I saw Hisashi's hand twitch. I looked back at Geoffrey and Takashi, noticing that they saw his hand twitch also.

"Rei…" Takashi said warily clenching his bat in his hands.

Hisashi's body started to move and I froze. "Hisashi!" Rei shouted in happiness. "Look guys! He's getting up, he's getting better…" she trailed off but Hisashi leaned up and she looked at him with dubious eyes. "Hisashi…?"

Hisashi slowly stood up; his bangs covering his eyes, his jaw slightly slacked. "Hisashi what's the matter?" she asked obliviously to how much danger she was in.

Hisashi had turned and he was going to take a bite out of Rei if she didn't move. I growled in anger, frustrated with how stupid she was acting. "GET AWAY FROM HIM YOU STUPID BITCH!" I shouted.

Rei's eyes widened as she saw the empty look in his eyes. "This can't be true," Rei said in shock, backing away slowly from him. "No way…"

Geoffrey quickly grabbed her by the back of her uniform, pulling her away from Hisashi who groaned loudly.

"Rei, I know you can't believe it," Takashi said, talking to Rei. "I can't believe it, I'm sure Geoffrey and Hyori can't believe it either."

"Well actually I can," I said with a blank look on my face, trying to act like all of this didn't worry me, didn't frighten me. But it did…

"T-Takashi?" Rei asked, wondering where the hell was he going with this.

"But it's happening," Takashi said, raising his bat, tightening his grip on the bat, his eyes darkening. "Don't do it," Rei pleaded, trying to move forward. I put my hand on her shoulder to stop her from moving and Geoffrey tightened his hold on her school uniform top.

"IT'S FUCKING HAPPENING!" Takashi shouted, and with a war cry, he ran forward, slamming the bat down on Hisashi's head.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

I squeezed my eyes shut, hearing the sickening sound of Hisashi's head cracking open, and the loud pained sob ripping from Rei's throat.

I couldn't believe it was happening. I wish it wasn't happening. The dead was coming back and eating the living, the living now dead and eating everyone else. It was one big fucking disease that couldn't be stopped. It was the end of the world, as we know it.

SBD: I'd like to thank ChaoticCrazy for giving me his OC and making me rethink my own OC and add in a new one. ^^ Of course as you all may know, there will lemons in here (Because it's one of my guilty pleasures). The pairings in here is TakashixSaeko (I hate Rei, and him and Saeko are bad-ass together). Kohta and Saya (I think they're just kyute). And OCxOC [Mine and ChaoticCrazy's].
