Chapter 1: Dead Sunrise
a young boy around the age of 17 wakes up in what looks like the school infirmary, in the school are 20 people, among them were two police officers.
Kazuki, the young boy watched the flowers next to his bed, thinking about that he been here so many times when he skipped class.
Guess this isn't a dream huh?
Wait Reika she was going to the cafeteria right?
He walks out of the infirmary with a uneasy feeling.
It's only a matter of time before we die of insanity, starvasion or by those things.
We're lucky that we made it to the school and that those freaks can't climb over the fence.
But what about my parents, my sister are they still alive?
I want to know, I want to leave this place but that would be suicide.
Damn it!
Kazuki stops and watches out the window.
He sees almost nothing because it was to dark outside.
Only thing he heard were the moaning dead and the fire outside from the airplane but soon also voices from the cafeteria.
As he was walking closer a loud yell came from the cafeteria, it was Reika's voice!
He quickly ran to the entrance of the cafeteria to see what happend...
*******
Yesterday.
*******
It was another typical day at school, the teacher. Kazuki's sister Fumiko was teaching English but the students were minding they're own business.
Kazuki Ito was one of those students. He was staring out the window watching the people that were leaving the school. Luckily they were having English on the first floor.
So he did what he usually does when he's bored. Checking out girls.
While he wasn't paying attention Fumiko suddenly slaps her hand on his table as hard as she could.
Everyone looked at the teacher with a suprised expression before they all quietly watch the teacher except Kazuki who was still watching girls passing by.
"Finally I have your attention." Miss Fumiko sighed and closed her eyes for a while.
"She's hot..." Kazuki said out loud in a suprising tone when a group of girls passes by again.
Fumiko opened her eyes watching Kazuki staring outside like his thoughts were somewhere else.
Kazuki's childhood friend Haru kicked his chair when the teacher started walking to Kazuki's desk.
"Oi..Kazuki...Kazuki!" Haru whispered in a worried tone while the teacher comes closer
"Hmmm..." Kazuki murmered softly.
Kazuki didn't respond to Haru until he punched his shoulder.
He snapped out of his thoughts but it was to late because his sister was already standing next to him.
"Hello little brother, busy "sightseeing"?" Kazuki could hear that Fumiko was definetly angry.
The thought crossed his mind that he should say yep until you interrupted me, but he quickly shook off the idea.
"No Fumiko..I am paying attention to class." Kazuki murmers.
"That is teacher to you." Fumiko said in a demanding tone.
Kazuki looks away with a iritated expression.
"You know it would've been better if you weren't a teacher at all.
Causing me so much trouble..." Kazuki relaxes in his chair but Fumiko walks back to her desk as if she's hurt and the students sigh.
After class Kazuki left for soccer practice.
Kazuki pulled the strap of his backpack over his shoulder and was holding his suitcase in his other hand.
He just came back from soccer practice, it was boring the training he had was the same as always.
Being exhausted he went back home in a slow pace.
On his way he meets up with Haru who came back from his part time job.
"So how's it going?" Haru asked.
They both notice the sun's going down when they look up at the sky for a moment.
"Tired...we didn't have time to have a match or anything.
Only training...what about you?" Kazuki turns to Haru for a few seconds before he hears a group girls walking they're way.
"Got back from my part time job in that restaurant...man...almost got fired." Haru said with a worried expression.
Kazuki wasn't paying much attention to what Haru was saying.
Without noticing himself Kazuki kept staring at Reika who was in that group.
The most popular girl in his school that he had a crush on back in middle school.
"I see...uh.....that sucks." Kazuki whispered in a fake sad tone before he turns around when Reiko passes them watching her with a smile.
"Yea...I am here you know." Haru punches Kazuki's shoulder.
"Huh?...ah yea...anyway I gotta go right here...so I'll see you tomorrow." Kazuki said while he stops walking.
"Okay...later!" Haru yelled soon dissappearing in the darkness night.
Five minutes later the street lights turned on when Kazuki walked past a corner close to his house where a girl was trying to climb in a tree.
"Come here please." Reiko was trying to reach for a cat that was stuck in a tree.
Kazuki takes a deep breath and walks to Reiko.
"Hey,,,need some help?" Kazuki looks up at Reika and she nods slightly.
"Yea..." Reika jumps down with a happy smile.
"Just watch I got it out there in no time." He says while climbing the tree and a few minutes he jumps down holding the cat.
He slowly gives the cat to Reika.
"I am so cool." Kazuki thought when Reika looks up at him and he raises his eyebrow.
"Well thanks bye!" Reika turns around walking away at a fast pace.
"Your welcome...Rei..." She was already gone before Kazuki could finish what he was about to say.
And so Kazuki continues walking back to his house.
"Huh?" said a confused Kazuki when he saw that the lights weren't on in his house.
Kazuki opened the gate and took his keys out his pocket before he opened the front door.
"Hello?..mom?..Fumiko?" Kazuki called they're names when he carefully steps inside closing the door behind him.
No response came from the dark hallway. Kazuki went upstairs took a shower for ten minutes and then changed before he went to sleep.
When he wakes up the light of the sun shines on his face waking him up in a grumpy mood when he realised a few hours ago that he could have stopped Reika from running away.
"She didn't even asks my name...she thinks she's all that because she's popular..." Kazuki whispered after he took a shower.
"I wish I was popular...
I don't need all this money, people think that I am only thinking about money and girls but that's wrong.
I only think of one girl or two or three..hmmm..maybe more.
Anyway another day and another chance right?" He whispered when he puts on a red shirt with a black suit.
He picks up his suitcase and walks out the front door.
Two men wearing a suit stand infront of the gate with a car behind them.
Kazuki takes a deep breath feeling nervous while entering the car.
"Good morning Sir.
We will bring you to your school.
Your father told us to pick you up." the driver already went to the direction of the school leaving Kazuki no time to response.
But after driving past the trainstation he sees Reika walking to the platform.
Kazuki starts feeling uneasy wondering if he should go talk to her or not.
"Sir?" the driver looks at Kazuki using the mirror.
Kazuki suddenly steps out of the car and runs to the platform searching for Reika.
Reika's standing on the platform holding the cat that Kazuki saved yesterday night.
She's staring at the sky watching a dot that seems to be moving.
Is it my imagination or not? She shrug off the idea when the train was stopping infront of her.
"Reika!" Kazuki puts his hand on her shoulder when he stops behind her taking a few deep breaths.
"Hey.......your the guy who helped me yesterday.
Your....?" Her voice sounded like she was asking for his name.
"Kazuki Ito..." he wasn't sure if he should've told her name but Reika smiled at him before stepping into the train.
the two men who were escorting Kazuki arrive at the platform standing not far behind the pair.
Kazuki waves to Reika when she turns around now standing close to the door.
"Bye Kazuki." Reika steps back from the door that was closing.
The two men behind Kazuki quickly step towards him.
"Sir!" the two yelled at the same time.
Kazuki quickly slips between the doors that were closing and Reika looks at him in shock.
"Th-That was dangerous." she said in a worried tone while Kazuki raises his eyebrow, Really? he thought sarcastic but a smile quickly goes across his face.
"Yea...I thought I should also go with the train with you."
Suddenly Kazuki felt a uncomfortable feeling so did Reiko.
It looked like he really wanted to be with her even though he actually wanted to outrun the drivers.
"Um..." Kazuki tried to start a conversation but Reika was to busy stroking the cat from yesterday that she was carrying.
He decides to say nothing and watches how the train starts leaving the station.
Five minutes later the dot that was in the sky was getting bigger.
It had the shape of a plane...
