Summary's bad, I know, but there's not too much you can say about it. Same goes for the title. Appearances are up to the Lost Shinigami Badge Arc. People who read "I Am a Hero" may find stuff similar to the manga, and same goes for the movies "Shaun of the Dead" and "Zombieland", and the game, "Left 4 Dead". Readers don't have to know them to understand the plot though. Warning, this is my first fic written like this, so beware! May become dark after a while, and I'm not 100% sure about adding others in. Oh, and I'm adding Ichigo's hollow in. Tsuyiku is going to be his name, and it means Moon and to be.

Enjoy~ (If possible.)

I ran, faster and faster, fleeing from the unknown entity behind me. I stuck a quick look behind me, eager to see who, or what it was. However, my eyes failed me, as it was dark, and all I could see of my purser was a shadow.

I gave up on identifying the purser, looked back in front and pumped my legs forward. My lungs felt like they were about to burst. With each step, I was getting more tired. Already my legs started to ache. Still I stumbled forward, unknowingly into the blackness. My heart was racing, full of fear.

I don't want to die.

Not yet. Not now.

I don't want to die.

I'm only seventeen. My life is ahead of me.

I still have to live.

I just cannot die.

I don't want to die.

I tried calling out for help. None came.

I don't want to die.

The grip of a big, icy hand, clenched my shoulder. Terror grasped me. I turned my head and looked at the face of my chaser. And...

BEEP-BEEP BEEP

BEEP-BEEP BEEP

Staring up at the ceiling, covered in cold sweat, I groaned. Fucking dreams. Well, nightmares to be precise. But fucking hell.

Wait... I got a look at that dude's face... Who was it...?

I groaned as the image of the face floated to my mind. A bunny. A fucking person, dressed as a bunny. Chappy. The thing which I though was going to kill me was a fucking bunny rabbit. Good thing to tell Rukia, my classmate. She's so obsessed with the thing.

"I had a nightmare about your bloody bunnies, Rukia. One was trying to kill me."

Chuckling to myself, I sleepily got up.

Then came the familiar wake-up call from my old man.

"GOOOOOOOD MOOOOOOOORIIIIINNNGG ICH-I-GOOOOOOO!"

Putting up my foot, my dad slammed himself right into it, and landing in a heap on the floor. I stepped on him while going to get my uniform for school. I didn't care that it hurt him. He deserved it for doing that all the time.

Ignoring my dad, I started to get changed into my school clothes. The clothes that I wore now stuck to my skin, because of all the sweat.

Stupid killer bunny. I'm still fucking tired because of that thing.

There were the sounds of my dad getting up. Tch. Sure, he may be my dad, but he's fucking annoying.

It was when he was opening the door, and leaving, I saw the bandages on his arm.

"Pops?" I asked him. "What happened to your arm?"

He held his arm up, giving me a closer look at it. "This? I got bitten the other day by a patient. Don't worry, son. They're now been relocated to the main hospital. A small little mark like this doesn't stop your dad!"

I just stared at him blankly. Then returned to getting changed, and said, "Yeah, whatever."

We ate breakfast while listening to the TV. No one really talked. It was actually somewhat quite for once.

Maybe it had to do with that lazy arse Tsuyiku not getting up.

"An elderly woman, aged 70 has been bitten by a man, 35 years old. He had been arrested, and is now currently awaiting trial." The news woman on the TV said.

People getting bitten? What the fuck? Vampires don't exist. That's just weird.

Leaving home, I waved to my sisters, and dad, and turned towards where Muzuiro was currently waiting.

"Good morning!" He greeted me, and I just waved back to him.

We started walking towards school, him listening to music, and me deep in thought. I'd already forgotten about that dream I had. Damn.

"Did you hear the news today?" he asked, bursting my thoughts.

"The one about that old lady getting bitten?" I asked.

"Yeah. Weird, isn't it?"

"The next thing you know, its vampires,"

"Hopefully not,"

End of discussion. Muzuiro's never really been one for conversations, but at least he's not like Chad. If it was him, that conversation wouldn't have ever existed.

We entered into school grounds, and made our ways to our classrooms.

"See you," he said, still walking up the corridor when I'd arrived at my class room.

"Yeah," I replied, and stepped into the room.

Rukia saw me coming in, and cheerfully greeted, "Good morning, Ichigo!"

"Morning," I replied, taking my seat.

Stupid midget had something to do with my nightmare, I just knew it. However, my memory was just too fuzzy, and I just couldn't make heads or tails out if it. Shrugging, I took out my books, and started the wearisome torture of school.

At lunch, I went up to the roof of the school, with Keigo, Muzuiro and Chad. None of them were in my class. Rukia, Orihime, and Tatsuki, and a bunch of other girls in our year, were off near some trees. Keigo was happily chatting away, like always.

I tuned into his conversation, even though what most of the things he said was complete bullshit.

"... And it was all freaky-like. She'd gotten up like nothing had happened. The truck driver was freaking out. He asked her if she was okay, and she bit him. He cried out, but she just walked off. I got bitten myself."

Keigo then pulled up his sleeve. His bite mark was enough to make someone queasy. The teeth marks were all red, and pink, and there was purple bruising around it. It seriously looked like it hurt.

"Does it hurt?" Chad asked.

"It stings like hell!" Keigo shouted.

"My dad got bitten too," I said. "Said it was a patient of his."

"It sounds like a lot of people are getting bitten," Muzuiro mused.

"Maybe the vampires are rising!" Keigo shouted. "Wait, if that's it, then I'm going to become a vampire! I don't want to become a vampire!"

"Vampires don't exist, Keigo," I pointed out.

"How about zombies?" Muzuiro asked.

I snorted. "No way. There's no way ether of them exist."

"What do you think, Chad?" Keigo asked the hulking, silent giant.

"I agree with Ichigo," he said.

"Thank you," I said. "At least somebody else is sane here."

"Then what do you suggest?" Keigo questioned me.

"I haven't gotten a clue," I admitted. "Maybe a gang that goes around biting people?"

We argued long and hard into the end of lunch. No conclusion was made, but it would simply be because of lack of resources. A few people have been bitten, sure, but so far, all of us only knew four people have been attacked. Consistence, maybe? Who knows? I surely don't. What's a bunch of high-schoolers going to know about this stuff? The bell rang, and we all dragged ourselves back to boredom.

Finally, the class was released. Muzuiro's and Keigo's classes had gotten out far earlier than mine, so I started to walk back to the Unagiya Shop alone, to start working. I've been taking off way too much time there, so my boss is going to get super angry if I take off more time. Her kid really gets on my nerves. He keeps on calling me, "stupid Kurosaki"... I haven't done anything wrong to the kid! He also thinks that I'm hitting on his mother. As if! She's an old hag anyway, so that would just be gross.

"Ichigo!" Call a voice, disrupting my train of thoughts.

I looked behind me and saw no one. Then I looked down. Rukia was standing there, the short-arse.

"Sorry, midget," I said. "I didn't see you because you're too tiny."

"Idiot!" She hissed at me, and kicked me in the shin.

I bounced up and down, clutching the now-bruised leg. Fuck that hurt. My leg almost broke because of her. She may be small, but she's powerful, and deadly. Maybe I shouldn't undermine midgets that much.

"What do you want, Rukia?" I hissed though my teeth, while still hopping.

"I just wanted to walk with you, that's all," she said while grinning at my pain.

Sadist.

I just huffed, and continued on my journey.

"Have you heard about the bitings?" she asked.

It seems like the topic today. Probably the next day, everybody would've continued on with their lives, and forgotten about it.

"Yeah," I answered. "My old man was a "victim". Keigo got bitten too, and said he saw another guy get bit too. It was on the news today as well."

"I just think it's freaky," she said. "That all these people have been bitten."

I frowned at her. "You know others that have been bitten too?"

"Chizuru had been bitten, and a few others have been witnesses to other bitings."

*SREEEEEEEEECH*

*SMASH*

I looked over to see a six year old girl, on the road, in front of a car, with a smashed window, covered in blood. Deep red blood was pooling around her, and quickly spreading.

"Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god," came the panicked voice of the driver, as he walked around his damaged car, and to the girl.

He then shook her, and said, "Hey, are you okay? Hey? Please, oh god, don't be dead."

There was a sickening crunch, and screaming from the driver.

All eyes were on him, and some people scurried over to help. I swore, that little girl was biting his hand. Her eyes were at different angles, and wide open. Blood trickled through her pigtailed blonde hair.

Rukia ran over to the guy, and I sighed, and followed. When we had gotten over, the guy was in the feudal position, clutching his hand and the girl was struggling to get up.

"Fuck that hurts!" He shouted. "Fuck, fuck, fuck!"

Within a few minutes, the police, and the ambulance came. When they came, I realized that I was meant to be at work now. The old hag's going to torture me, for sure now.

I ran off, and Rukia followed me, like a puppy.

"Why're in a hurry?" she asked me.

"My boss will get angry at me again," I told her without stopping.

I got to my workplace, rushed a goodbye to the bunny lover, dashed up the stairs, and though the door.

Burning eyes met mine, and I just thought this;

Oh shit.

Writing from 9:00 PM - 12:00 AM, is not a good idea. Especially when you really need sleep. So if you readers find any mistakes, please let me know. Also, I am aware that Ichigo swears in his thoughts a lot. Meh. Is it too fast? Is it good? Don't leave the opinions to me, I'll just say it's bad, and dump it. Probably not this one, because I looks pretty good to me, but it may be because it only makes sense to me. Maybe. Meh. I'll see what you guys think. Also, for the school times, I heard somewhere that there usually is no definite time when school ends. Please tell me if I'm wrong.
