At the Crack of Dead

~We had only got lucky…Kohta had almost got bitten…~

"Are you alright…?" Alice snuggled closer to Kohta, while Saya checked him for bite marks.

Everyone else looked outside the window with concern. "I said I'm alright Saya-chan…" Kohta mumbled softly and patted Alice on the head. Zeke had taken on guard at the door to warn us of any nearby zombies.

~A lot of people were also here…trapped…in this hell of a hospital.~

"When are they just going to go away!" said one teenager. He was frustrated and began crying.

Saya fixed her glasses and turned her head to the teenage boy, "SHUT UP! Noise only just attracts them, I've repeated this one too many damn times to you ALL!" she then forcefully sat next to Kohta.

"And how the hell do you know that?" said a middle age man, he worn a lab coat signaling that he worked here. His eyes shot from Saya and Kohta to Saeko.

"Hmph, don't look at me. I'm just a simple gal." Saeko stared out the window, with her katana close by watching as the zombies roamed the outside.

Saya sighed heavily, "Are you seriously this dumb? Its' quiet obvious, they can't see you so a person would either think hear or smell. Their attracted to noise, I've tested the theory way before I decided to run blindly into them."

"God is obviously punishing us for our sins…." A woman muttered as she sat in the corner with her son who had cancer. "What is the use of living? They are just going to get us sooner or later…" exclaimed the boy with cancer.

~He…was soon to be correct, the whole world had gone to shit really quick, but who could we place the blame on? Ourselves or the American governments' actions?~

Takashi stood up quickly and walked to the door. He then peered from the bloody window, "We just fight them til we ourselves find a safer spot…"

"And just what is a safe spot to you?" said the doctor in the lab coat.

"Island…one that's deserted but, of course before we get going there we would have to stock up…" Takashi said staring at one of them that was right in front of the door. Zeke began barking rapidly, growling and snarling at the door.

"Tch, somebody shut the damn dog up!" Saya grumbled as she was deep in thought.

"Looks like you got a plan princess" Saeko continued to stare at the outside window. Rei also joined her to scout out the area, "Seems like they aren't going to go easily without a distraction."

'At this rate if we go all at once we defiantly will not make it…' Kohta thought to himself as he looked down at Alice and slowly shifted his gaze to Saya who looked frustrated at the other survivors.

Kohta cleared his throat grabbing almost everyone's attention, "Ahem, um…I was thinking…" everyone stared at him with a questioning look.

"Spit it out chubby!" Saya said impatiently and elbowed him.

"Come on take it easy on him, Saya he isn't too sane at the moment as you've seen." Saeko stood up for Kohta, causing him to smile lightly.

'I don't really think anyone's sane in this crisis…' Saya thought sighing and laid her head on Kohta's shoulder, "Well we are waiting for you to say something Kohta."

"I was thinking that…with the people we have with us…I don't think we will make it out alive without anyone panicking…" Kohta surveyed the room looking at everyone.

"So what if we panic? What the hell else are we supposed to do? Stay calm?" the doctor slammed his foot on the ground. His loud outburst only put fear in the crying teenager and Alice who held on tightly to Kohta's arm.

"…Were you not listening to me before? If you panic, you make noise. You make noise, you cause the attention of them to you. Now, you don't want that…now do we Doctor Idiot?" Saya said sarcastically with a cold glare.

Buttoning up his lab coat the doctor walked to the window, "What a sad world this has become…I'd never think that scientist would ever be capable of causing such a catastrophe. And all my life I thought I'd live and die in a normal world, but this is not clearly the world we once knew…"

Deep silence filled the room as fear and insanity began to rise among few. Takashi walked away from the door and dropped to the floor searching around for something.

Rei looked from the window and straight at Takashi, "What are you doing…"

"What does it look like I'm doing? Looking for a way out, would you rather escape quietly underneath the hospital or attract attention?"

"No need to be an ass…"

"Hmph…" Takashi continued his search in hope to stumble across a manhole cover.

Shizuka pounced around happily, causing Rei to stare at her moving chest, "What are you so excited about, Shizuka…?"

"Do you not see? The supplies just in case someone gets a boo-boo I can make it all better! Not just that I can add it to my other medical supplies in the Humvee." She seemed to put a smile on Alice's face, but received a grim look from everyone else.

"And how the hell do you expect to get your new found supplies to the vehicle…?" asked the cancer ridden teen with a blank expression on his face.

Saya sighed muttered under her breath, "I can't believe your still living and breathing Shizuka…" Shizuka ran up to the window looking outside with her chest pressed firmly against the window.

"That's a great question! Well while Takashi looks for a way out how's about we introduce ourselves to each other!" a huge smile plastered her face along with Alice who too was now happy.

"Great…and then we can throw a fucking tea party, what a genius." Saya muttered sarcastically.

"Kiyoshi Motaro." Everyone's attention was pulled to the doctor who was still staring out with window with hopeless eyes.

"Huh?"

"You asked for a name, and I gave you one" he sighed and turned around to everyone letting his body plop to the floor, "But you can just call me Yoshi if you please. Also, by the way I'm part American and Japanese"

"I'm Yong Lee, and this is my mother Yun Lee we come from South Korea, Seoul to be exacted." The boy with cancer sounded unexcited and his mother continued to cling to him.

"Alright and what about cry-baby over there…" Saya pointed to the teenager who was still crying a river.

"Leave me alone! I can't help it if I'm scared shitless! I'm sure you were too when you first seen this damn things!" the teenager wiped his face with his torn hoodie and sighed, "I'm Mark Romano, part Italian and American came here as a foreign exchange student and sure as hell know this isn't part of learning Japanese culture…"

"Great now that we know each other, Takashi!" Saya glanced at Takashi who had long been stopped looking for a manhole cover, "Find an underway passage?"

Shaking his head he looked at the door where Zeke sat, "We're gonna have to do this the old fashion way…unless" his gaze shifted to the Kiyoshi.

"What?"

"You work here don't you?"

"Your point?"

"You have to know a quick way out or at least a underground passage that would lead us close to the Humvee…"

"And if I do?"

Saeko flashed her katana at Kiyoshi signaling a threat. "And you really intend to kill me and take the long way out facing all of them?" his face was plastered with a sadistic smile, yet his eyes showed hopelessness.

"Anything that would get us out of this hell hole would do for me, I don't mind killing you as a human or as one of them your choice if you want to go insane or not." Saeko gave him a cold glare tipping her blade out.

'These damn kids are crazy…thinking we are going to make it out alive…pathetic souls' Kiyoshi smirked at everyone, "Alright, fine but I do hope you know that we are on the second floor, which could cause a delay in whatever plan you have going on, kid."

"Yeah, yeah let's just go…" Takashi muttered scooping up Zeke placing him in his jacket, with his head popping out in the front. He then walked over to Alice and poked her nose, "Alright, ready kid?" she smiled happily nodding and hopped on his back.

"Well, no use in staying here…everyone grab anything that you would consider a weapon. And remember do whatever it takes to kill them meaning no remorse or sorrow for them, even if they are little children…" Takashi explained to the group of survivors who were willing to follow.

~Is this really god's doing? Is he punishing us…? We'd only hope that Lee-san's words were nothing but empty meanings…~

Authors Note: Okay, people…a new story, yes? I do hope you've enjoyed that…I'm starting to pick up a habit at making my chapters longer, which is a good thing to me it'll keep you readers busy. Anyway, until next time peace out!
