This is my little AU for Guilty Crown. I'm planning on writing another story that is based more off the canon story line but first I decided to play around with this little story

Disclaimer: I don't own anything that is in Guilty Crown... if you didn't already know that.


Life had turned to hell on that day, Lost Christmas. Death and panic spread throughout Japan. During these times many children where abandoned or where left orphans due to the infectious virus. If you were extremely unlucky you ended getting stuck in one of the quarantined zones where the government declared people inside to be infected with stage five of the virus. Looting and killing wasn't uncommon in these zones making nearly every decisions life or death for the small children trapped in said zones. I myself was one of the children doomed to such fate.

I was cornered. There was no where to run but forwards and that was the direction I least wanted to go at the moment. The man in front of me looked fairly strong and he held a knife in his right hand.

"Don't make this harder then it has to be," he said lowering the knife, I didn't like the way he was looking at me. "I won't hurt you."

He steadily approached me. This can't be happening. He was 10 meters away now. No. Please no. It was hopeless, there was no possible way I could get away unless I somehow managed to get passed him, and that wasn't a possibility looking at his size. Suddenly something flew from behind him and hit his head.

"Hey shithead!"

A boy behind him called.

"You're a real wierdo aren't you?'

The man turned.

"You little brat..." The brown haired boy simply through another rock in response this time hitting the man right in the eye. He screamed in agony and he dropped his knife to reach for his bleeding eye.

"You son of a bitch!" The man turned all of his focus off of me and towards the boy as he charged and managed to shove him to the ground. He brought down fist after fist. I watched in horror for the first few moments and then looked around . There has got to be something I can do... Then I remembered the knife on the ground. I shakily picked it up and rushed over to the brutal scene, I looked away as I brought down the knife on the head of the insane man.

His corpse collapsed, and I quickly moved it off the boy and examined him. He was in tattered clothes and didn't seem to much older then 13, meaning he was about my age. His face was bruised and his nose was bent at an unusual angle. A gash on his forehead let fresh blood out. His eyes were barely open, he was fighting to remain conscious.

"Are...you okay?" He managed to croak out three words.

"Am I okay?! Do you want to know what you look like right now?!"

He just grinned, "I'll be alright"

I looked around for something anything I could use to help him.I finally just decided to tear away some cloth from his coat and tie it around his head. I found so fresh snow and placed it in another piece of clothe and pressed it against his cheek, which was swollen beyond belief.

"Hold that there,okay?"

He nodded weakly. It was getting dark and the flashlight I had found was out of batteries. We needed food badly but it was too dangerous to go searching at night. Especially with people like the person we'd just encountered around. I sighed. I moved the boy and leaned him against the side of the building.

He then reached in his pocket and pulled out a granola bar and showed it to me.

"Want to split it?"

"Yes." I quickly responded. "Thank you..."

"Shu Ouma," He filled in his name.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Inori Yuziriha." I said with a grin.

We both devoured our half of the granola bar ,and feeling satisfied we both fell asleep. That was the night I met my first and only friend.


"Hurry up its close!" I shout.

"Gimme a break, unlike you I'm not agile."

I glare at him. "You'd think after being stuck here for nearly your whole life you'd get in shape."

He simply chuckled as he climbed over the ruined bus that stood in our path. He jumped off the top of the bus and looked around. That is when we heard the sound of rumbling machinery, Shu grabbed me and pushed us both close against the bus.

I looked at him, he put a finger to his lips signaling that I should stay quite. The machine was right on top of them now ,just on the other side of the bus. Neither of us could see it but we immediately knew it was an endlave patrolling the quarantine zone. It seemed to realize it had found a dead end, luckily for us, and turned around. I let out a sigh of relief.

"That was too close." Shu said.

"If you weren't so slow it wouldn't have been." I said smirking at him as I walked away from the bus.

He removed his bag and tossed it to me. I nearly fell over when I caught it. He laughed.

"Now lets see who's slow."

"Wait!Fine, i'll stop making fun, just take this." I pleaded.

Shu took the bag seeing that I had admitted defeat. He opened it and took out a pistol. It only had one clip of ammo, but it was a good find none the less. He tossed it to me.

"You're the sharp shooter ,looks like we might have to use it soon." He said.

I smiled, " You can count on me!"

He then continued to rummage through a little further and brought out a syringe along with 2 tubes of liquid.

"Vaccination time?" I asked.

"Yeah,"Shu said with his eyebrows knit together, "our supply is running a little short though,"

My eyes widened,"Where are we gonna find more?"

"If it comes down to it..." He looked down,"We're gonna have to steal it from others."

I shuddered, along with the fact that stealing was wrong in the first place, it could also be dangerous for a number of reasons...

"I don't wanna talk about it right now," I said.

"Me neither, give me your arm," I held it out as he injected the vaccine into my vein, afterwards he handed me the syringe and I did the same to him. Getting infected with the virus was not something we could afford to do, especially after we had come so far and survived this long.

It was late and Shu decided it wouldn't be a bad idea to stay on the bus.

"There might be some food or water in here too," He said as he gripped the airlock door that had sealed itself shut.

He tugged at until he finally managed to rip it open. He looked in.

"Well, doesn't look like there are any dead people in here."

"Just how I like it." I said as I entered the bus.

Shu took a seat in one of the middle aisle chairs. I did the same in a chair adjacent to his. He sat his bag next to him and tossed me a bottle of water.

"Do we have anything to eat tonight?" I asked.

He shook his head, "Lunch was the last of our rations."

"I'm starving." I complain.

"You're always starving."

I glare at him,"And you're not?"

"I am, its just i'm not whining about it."

I hit him on the back of the head. He chuckles and reclines his chair by pushing a button on the armrest, if someone where sitting behind him they'd of been smashed by the seat but since it was just him and me it was okay.

"Its been a long day hasn't it, Inori?"

"Yeah," I said as I looked at the beautiful sunset.

We remained silent for a while before Shu spoke up.

"I'm getting you out of here." He said with his eyes closed. "Even if its the last thing I do."

I looked over at him.

"And I'm going to make sure its not the last thing you do."

"Is that so?" His eyes were still closed.

I reclined my own chair and closed my eyes, "Yep."


I wake up in the middle of the night to the droning of an endlave. I instantly panicked, but when I look out the window of the bus I see something I thought was impossible. Two endlaves where fighting about 100 meters from the bus they where in.

"Shu you have to see this this!"
