Disclaimer:I do not own Reborn or any of its characters. This is purely fan made. Neither do I own the song Justice and Mercy by Flyleaf.
This takes place after the Representative battles. Assuming everyone has come to terms with what ever secret was revealed.
Summary: It was typical really. Long foreseen by the sick and twisted minds of Hollywood horror specialists, but the thing was; it was stage blood before it became real. Now, the world states: that the human race is becoming extinct, a fact. Will you be a survivor or will you join the growing numbers of the undead.
Z.O.M: Aim for the Head
Day I: Outbreak
"Blood in our hearts, blood on our hands.
We're human, we reason,
We're breathing, protecting.
You're living and dying, surviving, we're trying.
To breathe in safety.
Come home safely."
Hibari's P.O.V:
It was chaos and undisciplined. Messy.
And it needed to be punished. Fixed.
These 'Humans', if you could still call them that, were completely out of mind, acting like savaged beasts. Out of the corner of my eye I see another member of the committee go down as I bashed skull with metal, breaking it. The body goes limp, but my mind is already on the bloody girl wearing a Namimori uniform charging at me. She goes down seconds later as well.
It's repetitive but completely necessary as there are still those who are alive screaming for help and as the chairman of the Discipline Committee of Namimori Middle School I have an obligation to protect the school and those who attend from any life threat even if some of those threats are former students.
I look out at the courtyard of my school, at the multiple bodies littering the floor. Blood, internal organs, brain matter all are scattered about dirtying Namimori in the most disgusting way.
"Hibari-san!" I turn to see Kusakabe running in my direction. "We got all those we could into the committee common room. What now?" He asked.
I stabbed a boy that was creeping up behind right in the eye with the tip of my left tonfa before speaking. "Make sure all doors are locked, no one leaves that room, also make sure no one is bitten if they are… kill them."
Kusakabe flinched at my last statement but I couldn't bother with it at the moment. One thing I learned while fighting off this crowd of cannibals was if it bit or scratched a victum, in other words killed, a few moments later that person will join in on the killing spree as well. It was despicable.
"Hai, Hibari-san. What of you?"
"I'll be there in a short while." With that I ran off toward a large crowd of those 'things' that were surrounding two people. I jumped into the center of the circle immediately noticing the faces of the individuals. Herbivorous. Of course they would survive this.
Yamamoto Takeshi was standing in front of a blood covered shocked Sawada Tsunayoshi with a bloody baseball bat held firmly within his grasp ready to swing at the very next attack. Sensing my approach Yamamoto Takeshi raised his bat toward me but stopped mid-swing. "Hibari?" He said slightly startled.
"To the common room." Was all I said before starting to clear a path back towards the school. Yamamoto batting away while dragging a unresponsive Tsunayoshi behind him.
Once successfully making it to the reception room, I locked the door and barricaded it with one of the chairs. Turning to face the room, I took in the faces of the still living.
The schools Doctor stood off a wall, Shamal I believe was his name. On one of the couches sat that one eyed eye-patch girl, Chrome Dokuro, next to her sat Kyoko Sasagawa who was sobbing in to Kurokawa Hana's shoulder while Sasagawa Ryouhi sat on the arm of the couch looking away. And of course Yamamoto Takeshi and Sawada Tsunayoshi who sat on the other couch and Kusakabe Tetsuya who sat in an empty chair. The silence was deafening and awkward.
Yamamoto Takeshi was the one to break it. "Doctor Shamal could you please take a look at Tsuna, he hasn't said or done anything since this all started." He sounded worried.
Doctor Shamal turned to face him then turned to Tsuna and took in the blood, his glazed over eyes and blank stare. "He's just in shock; his mind probable put it up as a defense mechanism. Either way I don't treat boys and there's nothing I can do for him anyway, hopefully he'll snap out of it."
Yamamoto frowned at the doctor while Chrome walked over to Tsunayoshi and held his hand in hers. "…Boss..."
I ran my hand through my hair and sighed. It was going to be a long day.

Mukuro's P.O.V:
It was literally something out of a Horror Movie.
I had to be dreaming, a nightmare.
Because there was no way a ten year old girl to my left was eating the insides of a man or the group of teenage boys to my right was comping on a helpless little old lady.
But as I stabbed yet another zombie, cause really what else could they be, and felt the blood gush out and splatter me, I knew this wasn't a dream and I was not sleeping. I had gotten separated from Ken, Flan and M.M. Chikusa was still in my sight defending some girl with brown hair tied in a pony-tail wearing some sort of school uniform.
I was busy myself defending some woman with two kids (luckily passed out due to shock). I had run into them when the screaming and running had started. She begged me to help them; there was something familiar about the look in her eye that I decided 'why not'. With so much of the human race dying, the more salvaged the better chance we have at surviving.
I slashed a couple more corpses to make a clearing and grabbed the woman's hand and darted toward Chikusa, I yelled. "Let's get inside that building there!" I pointed to some sort of business type of building that went up pretty high. Chikusa nodded and grabbed the girl behind him and ran as well.
Getting inside the building and making sure the front doors were closed and locked we took the elevator to the top floor where I activated the break on the elevator and barricaded the stairwell with a desk, with the help of Chikusa. Then I ushered everyone into the break room I closed and locked the door.
Finally able to somewhat relax; I leaned against the door and slide down. I was covered in blood… I felt disgusting. Looking up I saw everyone else was to, well except the two children, the woman protected them well from that. Finally able to take a good look at her she had chin length brown hair and large brown eyes to match, the children in her arms were odd… one had an afro bigger than his head with what looked like horns sticking out and he was wearing a cow jump suit. The other one had a huge head with a patch of breaded hair and she wore what seemed like a Chinese martial art outfit. I glanced over at Chikusa who had the school girl clinging to him for dear life, her head buried in his shoulder, Chikusa was of course unamused but he didn't push her off either.
I got up off the floor and walked to the woman. I sat down next to her at the small table in the center of the room. "Are you hurt?" I ask. She shakes her head no. I frown; perhaps she's in shock as well. "I'm Mukuro Rokudo. What's your name?"
She looks up at me with a worried expression but it quickly turns into a strained smile sort of face. "Nana… Sawada, Nana."
All I can think is… 'oh dear'

Gokudera's P.O.V:
'Damn it, damn it, DAMN IT!'
This was not happening. This could NOT be happening.
But it was… Fuck my life.
I kicked another one of the man-eaters in the head, hearing the skull crack easily with the force I used. I looked over my shoulder to see if Shouichi Irie was still with me. He was, but he was freaked out, if his face was any indication. We had met in the middle of the chaos while I was running late to school, of all the days to be late. It just had to be today. We were heading toward the school but got side tracked by the horde of zom-ba-fied humans and were now forced to head down Namimori's market street.
As I was turning back to face forward again I ran hard in to something and nearly fell. Ready to smash another head in, I braced myself. Only to come face to face with a one Joshima Ken. "Joshima!" I exclaim surprised.
He blinks "Gokudera Hayato, right?" I nod at his question putting our differences aside as Shouichi comes up behind us, panting for air.
"Sorry to break this reunion up… But…" Shouichi trails off while pointing a finger behind him where a bunch of those things here hobbling right for us.
"We need to find somewhere to hide and hold off the first wave of whatever this is." I say and the others nod in acceptance.
We managed to get in to an American Diner. We lock the doors and close the blinds, then head to the kitchen and settle down in one of the storage rooms. "We should be safe here for now." I say. I look at the other two. "So, Joshima where's the rest of you?" I was referring to his comrades.
"Lost them in the fray and you? Byon."
"I was running late to school, so I don't know where they are." I sighed, I was really worried and I could tell the others were too. The room was heavy with it.
"I hope the others are okay." Shouichi said as he held his knees close.
'10th , Yamamoto… Please be alright, I don't know what I'd do if either of you died.'

Bianchi P.O.V:
It wasn't long after Nana had left with Lambo and I-pin that I heard the screams. I was taking Fuuta's temperature, he's been under the weather lately. I was about to go check out what all the commotion was when Reborn came through the window with a sour expression on his face. "Get Fuuta and yourself to Nana's bedroom and lock the door, don't ask questions just do it."
I nod my head and pick Fuuta up to do what I was told. I settle Fuuta down on Nana's bed and go to lock the door. I wait huddled with Fuuta for Reborn to come back. The screams and yelling from outside were disturbing. Suddenly there was banging form downstairs, the front door. Fuuta moved closer and I held tighter. "What's going on Bianchi-nee-san?"
"I don't know…" I answer, I'm worried. Startled by a knock on the door I ask, "Who is it?"
"It's me, open up." It was Reborn's voice. I slowly got up and opened the door to see not only Reborn but two other people as well. One I recognized as the red head girl I once defeated at Kokuyou Land. The other was a small boy with an over grown apple on his head who looked frightened, I didn't recognize him though. They walked in and I locked the door once again.
"This is M.M and Fran, they are acquaintances of Rokudo Mukuro." Reborn supplied.
I nod. "What in the world is going on out there Reborn?" I ask a little anxious to know why to comrades of Rokudo Mukuro were in the Sawada household. Reborn looked over at Fuuta, he seemed unsure if he should say. M.M caught the motion and took Fran with her to distract Fuuta. "Reborn?"
"It's a massive epidemic. People are dying and coming back attacking those still living." Reborn answered bluntly.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean what I say. People are eating other people."
My eyes widened. "How is this possible?"
"I don't know the answer to that question, but the best thing we can do for now is stay quit and stay hidden."
'Nana… Hayato… Tsuna… everyone, please be safe.'
A/N: Well there's Chapter one. Hope it was okay. This was made completely on a whim and my desire to write a zombie/apocalyptic story with Reborn characters. It's funny 'cause if you've read the recent chapter, the last page, it totally shocked me because I was writing this very chapter before I read it and the day it came out… Weird… someone is trying to tell me something. xD Anyway a WARNING now, people WILL DIE, I repeat WILL DIE! I know I'm horrible! I've always hated character deaths but for this story to WORK, some of our beloved characters are going to have to pass on to the other side. There are just too many characters in Reborn to keep track of and write an apocalyptic story line when civilization is becoming extinct at the same time. So there for people are going to die. I hope that doesn't deter you from reading, I assure you not everyone is going to die; some are safe for the whole story! But I'm not ganna say who, I want it to be ALL A BIG SURPRISE!(Until next chapter anyway. xD) Some of the pairings will be shounen-ai, so watch out some of you who don't like that, but there will also be boyXgirl pairings too. I think that's everything… I'm not sure… anyway REVIEW PLEASE! It will be most appreciated!
