Okay so this is the second chapter of my first FanFic and it will be much longer and hopefully a lot more interesting. As you know I write these before I write the story so I guess we will just see what happens.
Please leave a Review, I plan on reading them all. I really appreciate the feedback, if you have any ideas I would love to hear them. Enjoy!
I do not own HOTD or its characters, however I do own any new characters that arrive in the story.
Saya's Chamber
There was nothing but darkness when Saya woke up, she didn't remember this room. She didn't know how she got there, or even how she blacked out. She looked around the room, she thought she saw the frame of what looked like a door to her right and a window to her left. Other than that it was a plain room, it had a desk across from the bed on the other side of the small room. As she was looking around she felt a welcoming warmth creep up her left arm. Looking over at Kohta residing in the chair he pulled up next to her bed; she decided to wake up the fat otaku and get him in her bed. She didn't know how he would react but she didn't really care she would find a way out of it in the morning.

In the morning they all woke up and got ready for the day early in the morning, except Saya and Hirano that is. Before everyone sat down to eat breakfast Rei remembered that someone would need to take breakfast up to Hirano so he didn't starve.
"I'll bring it up to him i don't mind" Takashi offered getting up from his seat, walking ten feet over to the kitchen. He picked up the plate and walked up stairs to Saya's chambers. He felt like he should knock before he entered but then again what was the harm of just walking in right? Big mistake, as he walked in he noticed the situation. He saw Kohta and ended up somehow spooning with Takagi.
What the hell am i supposed to do now, should i just leave the food? Shit, i don't know what i should do so they won't get mad. I guess ill just leave the food here for him and he can eat it when he wakes up. Takashi stood adjacent as he battled his internal conflict. Finally deciding that he should just leave the food on the desk that was across the room.
As he was closing the door he heard some sheets moving followed by a soft "Komuro is that you?" coming from Kohta. Komuro turned around with a big grin.
"Your food is on the desk right there," he pointed at it to make it clear, " don't worry about anything just go back to sleep."
Thanks to Takashi's luck the otaku laid his head down and fell quickly asleep. Whew thank god Takagi wasn't the one to wake up or i would've been screwed.
As the boy walked down the wooden stairs he noticed 4 sets of eyes locked on him. "What took you so long? Hmm?" Rei inquired.
"Oh, um uh. It.. it was nothing." He spewed a fake laugh and rubbed the back of his head, lightening the mood.
"Let's eat" Alice said before she began to dig into her breakfast.

Saeko was meditating in the large backyard of the house, she had admired the beautiful Koi that were in the pond in front of her. Alice was out playing with Zero in the tall green grass since Saeko was out here to watch her. There was no imminent danger to her though; the fence that was surrounding the yard was at least ten feet high so they weren't going to go over it. Not to mention it had been made of reinforced wood so it was capable of taking some abuse. There were only three trees in the yard so Saeko choose to say under the one closest to the house. While she was meditating she thought of many relevant questions, or at least they were relevant to her.
I wonder if my mother and father are okay? I really hope that they are; knowing my father he wouldn't go down with out a fight. She smiled from this thought reassuring herself further that her father was alright, her mother too. Where are we going when Saya wakes up and is able to mobilize? Saya and Hirano they make such a cute couple. I wish me and Komuro had that but it is impossible with Rei always getting in my way and finding a way into his heart. But if I am sure of one thing, it's that Komuro has very strong feelings for me and there is nothing Rei can do about that. I should talk with him soon.

Rei was debating whether she should take a shower now or wait to take a bath with Alice. After thinking for a while she decided that Shizuka could take a bath with her and that she could take a bath by herself to relax a bit. I need a little alone time, especially with all that's been going on. She went upstairs to get a towel; then she headed into the bathroom.
Rei was amazed when she walked into the room, the bathroom was rather impressive, at the most she expected a mediocre bathtub with the usual toilet and sink. How wrong she was. There was a deluxe bathtub able to fit all the girls in at once and more, there was not only a sink but a row of sinks like a public restroom. The floor was an expensive tile that was not only attractive to the eyes, but it was also comforting to her feet. There was an astonishing collection of manga next to the toilet. While running the water she decided to take a look around the bathroom for some candles and if she could find any, bubbles for the bath.
She found candles and ignited them, to her disappointment she was unable to find bubbles of any kind. She striped off articles of clothing one by one. After turning off the lights she slipped into the tub and let her troubles melt away. As she was soaking she thought about Takashi, why doesn't he notice me? He is always gawking at her! Whats so special about her! Just because I don't wear such skimpy clothing, and swing a huge Katana around he doesn't care to look at me! I know it isn't over yet though, he hasn't chosen her, plus we have a past. I bet I could win him over if I let him take me. Maybe I can...

Kohta opened his eyes to what he thought was a dream. He was actually spooning Takagi! There is no way! Kohta tried everything in his power to wake himself up from his "dream."
"Kohta?" His genius spoke.
"S..Sa..Saya, you're awake!?"
"Of course I am you dumbass!"
Kohta began to chuckle extracting a snide look from Takagi followed by a long sigh. A blush then crossed Saya's face as she remembered what happened and where they were.
"What are you doing you perv, why are you in my bed?!" Takagi yelled and kicked Kohta out of the bed, causing him to double over in pain.
Footsteps were heard outside the room they were in, as Marikawa came bursting through the door out of breath, "Is everything okay? Did Takagi wake up yet?! Oh Takagi you're okay, I'm so glad to see you up!" The nurse ran to the bed and jumped on the unsuspecting girl, almost suffocating her with her titanic sized breasts.
"Get off of me of course I'm fine I am a Genius after all! What happened anyway? I don't remember a thing."
"How about we tell you later, as of now I want to get you fed and make sure that everything is okay."
Takagi would've objected and made them tell her what happened, but when Shizuka mentioned food, she felt the pain in her stomach hit. She then agreed to eat some food first and talk to them later. Shizuka ran down the stairs as fast as her clumsy feet would allow her and made Takagi a bowl of soup. Thinking it would be better for her to eat something that would fill her but wouldn't be too heavy for her to stomach.
Time lapse: 1 hour
"That's what happened!? That's how I got here? Jeez I cant believe this bullshit."
"I know it's all my fault, I need to take better care of you, I promised you, your father, and your mother that I would. I am so sorry I promise to never let this happen again! Please forgive me!"
"What the hell are you talking about you baka!? You didn't do anything wrong. Jeez you really are fat and stupid." Takagi was quick to reply.
"But I..." He couldn't even finish his sentence, before he was once again cut off.
"Okay Kohta I need you to leave the room so I can look at Takagi"
Kohta got up and headed for the door, he turned back "Ohayo Takagi."
A blush rose in her cheeks and all Shizuka could do was smile. The nurse became very serious when the boy left.
"All right Takagi lay down so I can check you out."
"Um okay..."
Shizuka checked to make sure nothing had been injured from the waist down on Saya, just make sure that she would not miss anything. She worked her way up to her injury. She took off the gauze she had taped to the area, she made sure there was no sign of infection and that she would not need stitches. She checked every last area on Takagi giving her the thumbs up.
"Okay so you only have one injury that I can see, there is a very large cut on your back. You can't get up from this bed for about one to two weeks, unless someone is supporting you. If you do strain yourself then you are going to reopen the cut and I will need to give you stitches."
I don't even feel anything, how did that thing get there?!
"So how did that cut get there?"
"Well when we...

After they all ate dinner they gathered around in the living room to talk about the days events and just act normal. They were sitting on tatami's, some of them were under a kotatsu. The room was large but it felt empty to them, there were many windows to see the streets, and the floors were a glossy wood. There was a painting on the wall of a beautiful lake on the wall by the stairs above the fireplace. The dinning room was just across from the living room, separated by a door. The room had a tenseness about it, all that filled the air was silence.
"So how is Takagi doing?" Komuro piped up attempting to loosen the mood of the room.
"She is doing just fine, she wont be mobile for at least one week, but she is healing very quickly. Thankfully she doesn't remember what happened to her so we are lucky in that aspect. Is it possible for us to make a run to a clinic some time soon? I would like some more gauze and antibiotics, I'm not running low yet but I don't want to run out."
"That's fine, we will talk about it tomorrow, right now lets just focus on relaxing for the time being." Takashi spoke to the group.
"I have had a long day so I am going to go up and take a bath then go to sleep, goodnight everyone." Shizuka said, Alice trailing behind her like a little duckling.
"Goodnight," the group said simultaneously.
"I am going to see if I can join them, goodnight you two," Saeko waved to them and left.
Takashi and Rei were left in the room alone. Rei got up and went to go out in the backyard.
"Hey where are you going?" Komuro called out to Rei as he followed her out to the Koi pond.
"Aren't they beautiful?"
"Yeah they are, Rei I've got a question for you"
She had been caught off guard but thought it best to listen to what he had to say. "Do you miss him?"
"Him who?"
"Don't play dumb with me Rei, you know who!"
"Of course I do he was my best friend and my boyfriend, how could i not miss him. None of that matters now though, I have you." She smiled at him, that innocent smile he remembered from when they were little.
Flashback
"Let's get married!" The child said with uncontrollable excitement.
"Really you mean it?" He couldn't believe what the little girl said.
"Pinky promise, cross my heart and hope to die!" The little girl said as she made a promise to marry the little boy in front of her.
Back to the Present...
"Hello? Komuro are you okay, you kind of spaced out there."
"Yeah , yeah I'm fine, sorry about that I was just thinking about stuff."
"Stuff?"
"It's nothing, I'm pretty tired, I'm going to go to sleep. See you tomorrow Rei, goodnight." He said desperately trying to escape.
"Wait!"
"What is it?
"I'll as you a question now." She talked with her head bowed and her eyes shut, she knew it was a bad idea but she had to know now.
"Yes?"
"Do you still love me?"
"Rei...I...Why would you...I don't know, I don't know anything in this shitty world. Can love even exist in something like this. This is like a scene straight out of a horror movie! Could you still love someone knowing that tomorrow they could be bitten and try to eat you alive!? Could you!? I don't know if i could... I am sorry Rei."
"It's okay, I...I can wait." She was crying and she couldn't keep her emotions from pouring out. She loved this boy and in return she was denied. Does anything hurt worse? This was only emotional pain that she could get over. She could make him love her, she had done it before.
"Rei is everything okay?" He said genuinely worried about her.
She pulled herself together and wiped away her tears, she looked up and smile "Of course I am, don't worry about me, I'll be fine. I'm tired too so I am going to go to sleep as well, goodnight."
"Goodnight." He couldn't speak fast enough as the girl was fleeing to the house.
I really hope that she will be okay after that, but that was just how I feel, I didn't want to lie to her. Well maybe if I get some sleep I can think clearer.

"Knock, Knock, Knock, Takashi? Are you awake yet?" A calm, smooth voice called.
"Yeah, one moment I'm not decent." He replied still groggy from his slumber.
He threw his covers off to the side and put on his clothes and opened the door for the beautiful woman. He looked her up and down and she was wearing the Kimono that she was wearing back at the Takagi residence.
"Oh...uh...S..S...Saeko, you look just amazing" He couldn't think of a woman any more beautiful than her. She made him feel like he was alive in this dead world.
"That is very kind of you K... Takashi." She smiled at him without thinking because she didn't know what those smiles did to him. She was oblivious to the fact that every time she smiled at him his whole face lit up.
"Please come in," He said gesturing her into the room, "make yourself at home.
"Thank you." She walked into the room only to stop 3 feet from the door. She looked around the room, it was similar to Takagi's in size, it was larger only by a few feet, but Komuro had it better. He had a king sized bed, with a window to look out at the sunrise to his right. The desk was on the left side of the bed and there was a walk in closet on the wall left of his bed.
"So, is there something you wanted to talk about?" Komuro asked whilst sitting on his bed.
"Um, yes there is actually, I don't believe that we have a week in this house. We are running low on basic necessities and Shizuka needs mediation. We need to move or we can make a run to a convenience store. I don't see any other options for us right now. Any ideas?"
"What are the chances of some food being stored in the houses around us? I don't want to make a risky trip to a heavily populated area when we are down two people. As for the medication, we can get that when we are on the move for a new safe house. She said that she doesn't need them right now and if I don't have to risk it then I'm not going to."
"I understand and you are right, I think you and I should make a food run tomorrow and gather some supplies from the neighboring houses. By the way Takashi, I am impressed with you're decision-making. Very much like a leader."
Takashi was blushing, as was Saeko. They got up and walked down the stairs to the dining room for breakfast. Rei spotted them coming down together and glared at the raven haired girl. What were they just doing up there?!
"Alright guys listen up..."
That's the end of Chapter 2, how was it? Did you like it? I hope it was better than Chapter 1. I'm kind o debating now if i want SaekoxTakashi or ReixTakashi. What do you think?
Don't forget to leave a Review and tell me what you think, if you have any questions ask away. Also put any ideas you have there. All of your feedback is welcomed!
Some information that might make more sense now:
Italics: Thoughts, or Flashback.
Bold: Emphasis of course.
A Kotatsu is a heated table that the Japanese use in the winter when they are cold.
A Tatami is a mat that the Japanese sit on.
