'How did this happen...?' he thought, watching the people run.
Standing on the roof of the school, which had been barricaded by the Disciplinary Committee from the 2nd floor onward, he watched in dumbstruck horror, the nightmare that had become his life. On the roof, a couple of students were crying while some others had fainted. The teachers, on the other hand, were desperately trying to maintain order on the roof to allow more people to enter the now-dubbed safe zone.
'Oh god,' he thought in absolute terror. 'What about Mom!'
He rushed to the side of the roof from which his home was visible, ignoring the calls of the teacher telling him to get back. He searched for his home, and immediately blanched at the sight. Those creatures were roaming the streets outside!
Not only his mom, but his younger siblings were also in danger! Lambo, I-Pin and Fuuta studied at Namimori Elementary School and they had no Disciplinary Committee to protect them!
"Hey you! Get back to your area!" a teacher called from somewhere behind him. "We can't keep a headcount if all of you keep running all over the place!" the teacher continued, struggling to maintain some semblance of calm.
Gritting his teeth, Tsuna trudged back to his class' area. 'This is bad...' he thought.
Their class idol, Sasagawa Kyoko, reached out and patted his arm comfortingly. "Don't worry Tsuna-kun. I'm sure everyone will be fine. Hibari-san and the Disciplinary Committee will protect us. Have faith in them."
Hearing his friend's words, he tried to calm down. "You're right... Thanks, Kyoko-chan..." he said, smiling shakily.
"Look! It's the chef from TakeSushi!" yelled a student standing near the edge of the roof.
Their classmate, Yamamoto Takeshi, suddenly stood up and turned towards the direction the student who yelled was looking at.
"Dad?! Where?!" he asked, shoving his way to the edge to search for his father. He searched left and right, desperately trying to find any sign that his father was alive.
"There he is! He's so cool!" another classmate yelled.
Yamamoto looked where the student was pointing and saw his father, taking down zombies one after another, along with 5 others; 3 males and 2 females. The 6 had formed a protective circle around 5 people in the middle, 2 elderly women and a woman carrying a baby in her arms with a wailing toddler beside her. They were in an empty lot, defending themselves from the horde of zombies. They had packed tightly together, Tsuyoshi swinging his sword in its deadly dance, efficiently killing, well not exactly KILLING 'cause they were already dead but you get the idea, the creatures which came too close for comfort.
The others were not too far behind; hacking and slashing and doing whatever they could do to crush the heads of the zombies. One though, looked incredulously at a particular zombie holding a spatula, which was bashed in the head by a woman holding a skillet which was used to bashed in the heads of more zombies, as if playing Whack-A-Mole, Zombie edition.
Impaling the last zombie blocking their path through the head, Tsuyoshi and the others dashed through the streets to the school. One of the teachers who saw what happened hurried to the office of the Disciplinary Committee to inform them of the incoming group of survivors. He ran through the halls filled with students with armbands going around preparing equipment and whatnot.
"Kusakabe-san!" the teacher panted as he rushed into the Reception Room. "Some civilians are coming to take shelter here at the school!"
"Noted, Kuroto-sensei!" yelled the student from across the room, filled with committee members holding reports for their vice.
" Minami-san and Higashi -san", ordered Kusakabe. "Ensure a path through the blockade for civilians to enter. Takagi -san and Kusamoto -san, select 4 others and guard the path. Check the civilians for any injuries caused by the zombies. If they have any, guide them to a separate room to quarantine them. Under no circumstance let any infected near the healthy civilians."
The aforementioned students gave a resounding "Yes" and rushed out of the door to carry out the orders given to them. Kusakabe then turned to the still panting teacher and assured him that they would do their best to receive and direct the civilian group inside their school-turned-fortress.
Tsuyoshi and the rest had by then reached the school and were backed against the school gates. They formed a defensive semi-circle around the unarmed members, guarding against any sudden attacks while waiting to enter the school compound. Soon, the gates opened and they were met by a squad of DC members who helped to look out for any zombies while they entered the school.
The DC members lead them to the newly-dubbed 'survivor's path' where they were met by Takagi and Kusamoto. Takagi carried out a head-count and recorded 11 civilians on his clipboard, while Kusamoto carried out a basic body check for any injuries. The other four stayed on the alert for any zombies, should any have entered.
As Kusamoto finished the check, he motioned the group forward with a smile, "You may proceed to the holding room for survivors. We would like to keep outsiders and our students separate for safety reasons. Please excuse the temporary inconvenience."
The group of non-combatants proceeded to the designated room, guided by the DC students. However, Tsuyoshi and the other combatants remained outside. "We will be going back out. There are still many patrons and staff at TakeSushi. We cannot leave them there unprotected. Our temporary barriers will only hold for so long," said Tsuyoshi.
"Understood. Let some of us come with you to help." Takagi said.
Tsuyoshi shook his head. "No, we have no intention of putting you children in anymore danger than we have to. And besides, we would be reducing the defences of the school if we let you come with us," he said.
"Alright sir. We will prepare and wait here for your return." Takagi replied. He corrected the number of civilians in the building from 11 to 5.
On the roof, Yamamoto watched the group of survivors enter the school compound. 'Wait... Is that...?' He wondered, and tried to get a closer look. Figuring out the identity of one of them, he gasped, 'Dad!'
He had to see with his own two eyes that his dad was ok! He rushed to the door leading off the roof, but was stopped by a teacher.
"Where are you going?!" the teacher asked.
"I have to see if my dad's ok!" he replied angrily.
"And how exactly are you supposed to do that?!" The teacher retorted, angered as well.
"Get out of my way!" yelled Yamamoto, truly furious now. "You wouldn't want me to be stopping you if it was your dad down there!" he snarled before pushing past the teacher roughly. Yamamoto ran, ignoring the teacher's furious shouts and the DC members' calls to go back onto the roof.
"Dad!" Takeshi yelled as soon as he reached the gates of the school.
"Takeshi! Are you alright?" Tsuyoshi exclaimed, relieved to see his son.
"I'm fine, Dad. Are you hurt?" replied Takeshi, equally relieved to see his father.
"No Takeshi, I'm fine. Why aren't you with the rest of your class? You should rejoin them. Your teachers and classmates must be very worried!" said Tsuyoshi.
"Later Dad. But why aren't you at the holding room?" Takeshi questioned.
"We have to go back to the restaurant Takeshi. There are still patrons and staff there. We can't leave them," answered Tsuyoshi.
"But Dad! There's tons of those things out there!" Takeshi argued.
"You know your classmate Tsuna? His mom is there at the restaurant. How do you think he would feel if we left her there on her own? The people there have families too you know. What about them?" Tsuyoshi questioned gently.
"Sawada-san? Okay... But please, please come back safe." Takeshi pleaded.
Tsuyoshi laughed and ruffled Takeshi's hair fondly. "Of course!"
"Take care Dad!" Takeshi yelled as Tsuyoshi and and his companions headed for TakeSushi once more.
Tsuyoshi just threw his hand up in farewell.
This certainly was an interesting experience for us. Hope you guys enjoyed the story. Later folks!
