High school Of The Dead: Blacklight of the Dead

When the school was invaded by 'them' Takashi, Rei and Hisashi tried to escape with Hisashi being infected and died…but what if Takashi was bitten instead of Hisashi and instead of killing him, it changed him into something else…something more.

Hello and welcome to chapter three, last time Alice Maresato lost her father and has joined up with Takashi and the others, meanwhile BLACKWATCH continues to monitor Takashi for reasons unknown


Chapter III: Sword and Hammer of The Dead


Ever since this outbreak started I've been debating and wondering to myself, what am I? For all I knew I was some type of monster forged by God to fight the other monsters, or am I a monster sent to destroy what's left of humanity after witnessing the horrible acts that humans can do to others…like killing a little girls father just so they can save their own skins.

But I don't care at the moment, all I care about is keeping everyone alive and being a brother now to Alice…it's the least I could do.

Right now we are headed across the river in hopes of finding our family, Takagi's house is closest so we'll head there first, then we'll head to the police station and finally my house…hopefully 'they' haven't reached them first.

But I have this strange feeling…that we are being watched.


The Sun was now halfway in the sky as the group of survivors rode on the Military Humvee, after the group had buried Alice's father they made a push towards the river, there were a few of 'them' around the river but they were easily defeated by the group namely Saeko and Takashi the only one who could fight without making any noise to attract more of them.

Kohta sat on the roof with Alice, Takagi and Yuuki as the four were on the look out for any of 'them' on the other side of the river, meanwhile Takashi, Hisashi, Rei, Saeko and Moirta were getting a little shut after dealing with the majority of the hoard, Morita sat in the passengers seat next to Shizuka, Rei was between Hisashi and Takashi while Saeko rested on his lap on his right side, at the moment there was peace.

"Row~Row~Row your boat gently down the stream~ merrily~merrily~merrily~life is but a dream~"

Kotha, Alice and Yuuki sang together as they did their best to make sure that Alice was happy and to help he get over her fathers death, "That was fun Kotha-san" Alice said as she held the dog in her arms, "Alright now lets sing the filth version" "Ok" Alice said as Kohta pumped his fist into the air.

"Shoot~Shoot~Shoot your gun, Kill them all right now! Bang!~Bang!~Bang!~Bang! Life is but a scream! ~" He sung as Alice only laughed at the lyrics while Yuuki giggled as Takagi got angry and slammed her hand on the roof.

"h]Hey don't teach a little girl a filth song like that, you got it don't bastardize Mother Goose" she ended with a glare that made Kohta shrink a little in fear "O-ok" was all he said Alice only laughed at the two with Yuuki giggling at Kotha's sacred face "Yes ma'am".

Suddenly the jeep jolted as it woke up Morita, Hisashi and Rei from their slumber while Shizuka turned to them "Hey we're almost there" she said as the others regained their bearings, Rei turned to see Takashi sleeping peacefully as she smiled warmly at him think of how cute he looked sleeping, then she noticed Saeko sleeping on his lap and the spark of Jealousy reignited in her heart as she glared at the pair.

Hisashi looked at his 'girlfriend' as her jealousy began to show on her face for a third time, he had noticed her glaring at Saeko every since Takashi came back from the dead, he knew that she had feelings for himself…but deep down he knew that she still loved Takashi, in a way it made him a little happy knowing that he hadn't completely stolen Rei from him…but he now noticed that Takashi was spending more time with Saeko, and that made him a little nervous in case Rei ever decided to go insane with jealousy and put everyone at risk for her own selfish desire.

So for now he needed to make sure she was happy and content with him and hopefully not do anything crazy, Rei not liking the close proximity of the pair and grabbed Takashi by his cheek and pulled.

"AAHHH!" Takashi yelped as he was rudely woken up by his ex-girlfriend.

"Rei what the hell was that for?" he asked as he looked at the jealous looking girl as she glared at his lap, "Must be nice?" she said as he followed her gaze to his lap.

"what are you-AHHH!" Takashi yelped as he noticed Saeko sleeping extremely close to his lap, he school blouse opened up a little that he could see down her shirt, he new short black skirt revealed he long legs and a bit of her ass to him, she looked down right sexy to him, she woke up as a bit of drool was running down her lips giving her bit of cuteness.

Before Takashi could speak Rei attached her self to his left arm as she sneered at the girl "Good morning sleepy head, you're drooling" she said with a small amount of snarky in her voice that only Hisashi, Morita and Saeko could pick up on.

Takashi unaware of the atmosphere only looked out the window at the blue sky as he began to formulate a plan, "Alright as soon as we get to the river bank, I'm going to find a high place and scout out what I can see, then we head to Takagi's house its a mansion on top of a hill, mine and Rei's family are a bit behind the mansion near the police station and the elementary school, Hisashi Morita what about your family are they close by?" he asked the two as they shook their heads.

"My parents are researchers working at one of the main facilities of GENTEK in the center of Japan, I don't know if they are even alive if the outbreak started there" Hisashi said as he remembered the news was able to pinpoint that the outbreak started in the center of Tokyo.

Morita spoke up next, "And my parents are visiting my grandparents out in the countryside so they are probably safe there, Yuuki said hers were heading to the elementary school, apparently that's were most of the survivors are heading" he said as Takashi nodded his head as he heard the information,

"What about you Saeko do you have any family?" he asked the girl next to him, completely missing the dark aura that formed around Rei.

"My mother died along time ago, my father Kage Busujima is away on business meeting with higher ups of the Japanese government, so I have no idea where he could be but I know he is safe thanks to his training" she said as she smiled at Takashi while Rei glared even more at the two, causing Moirta and Hisashi to sweat drop at the scene.

The jeep landed on the bank as Kohta pulled out his rifle taking aim as any of 'them' only there was no one around for miles it seemed, "There is no one around living or dead" Takagi said as she looked through the binoculars, Takashi and the others piled out so Shizuka could drive up the small hill, when they were at the top Takashi looked at the apartment complex in front of him.

"I'm going up to take a look ok" he said as he had his back to the group.

Takagi looked at him weirdly and with slight annoyance "Takashi it will take too long for you to get up there how ar-" she was cut off as Takashi sprinted towards the building and then started running…

Up the side of the building, like gravity didn't mean a thing to him black and red tendrils swarmed around his feet leaving imprints into the building.

The others stared in shock as they watched him defy all known laws of physics and just run up the side of the building, Takagi just sputtered incoherent words as she tried to make sense of what she just saw, the rest just stared as Takashi made his way to the top of the building in record time.

When Takashi made it to the top he felt amazing as he looked back down to the group that no seemed like ants to him, he looked out over the edge and looked around as he increased his sights and sense of hearing, he felt himself send out a pulse as the world in his mind was bathed in orange as the signal spread out, nothing happened so he assumed that it was clear.

He then jumped off the side of the building scaring the heck out of the others below, he felt a slight sense of peace as he was free falling from the side of the apartment before the black and red tendrils swarmed under his arms creating a black and red mist as he glided towards the ground right in front of the others who stared in shock.

"Takashi-nii that was awesome! Are you like a super hero or something?" Alice asked as stars were in her eyes as she along side Saeko was amazed by his amazing feat, he chuckled as he patted the little girl on the head.

"I don't know about being a hero Alice, but I guess I am super huh?" he said as the girl giggled in response.

"There doesn't seem to be any in this area, but don't let your guard down we still don't know how far they could have spread, everyone stay in the jeep, do not shoot unless you absolutely have to, I'll stay on the roof as we drive by incase there are any more of the mutated ones got that?" he ordered to the group who nodded in response as they piled back into the jeep.

The Sakura blossoms were in full bloom as they drove down the deserted streets, Takashi just stood on top of the roof his jacket and hood slightly billowing in the wind as the truck drove closer to the center of the district, he kept a watch out incase of anymore of them or worse the new mutated ones.

he still had no idea were these new ones came from but from what he could understand from Hisashi these new ones started to mutate back at the school, he looked at his arm from where the hoard had ripped his limbs off piece by bloody piece.

'Could they…could they have changed…because of m-' he was cut off as his sense went crazy as his vision zeroed in on one of the infected that came charging at the jeep, the creature lunged at him only to be bisected as Takashi's claws ripped him in two followed by four tendrils absorbing the body into his own,

"WE GOT INFECTED UP AHEAD!" Takashi yelled into the car as another came charging at him only for it to be grabbed by its head and flung painfully into a wall.

"TURN RIGHT HERE!" Saya yelled as she made Shizuka turn the car down a street, more of them landed on the roof as Takashi slashed and hacked at them,

"TURN LEFT HERE AND RAM THEM!" Takagi yelled as they rammed through a hoard of them, bodies flew through the air as Takashi hacked at the ones that tired to kill him, suddenly a flash of light caught his attention as his eye widened in shock, the car was headed down an overpass straight for a wired fence nailed into walls stopping the hoard from getting through.

"STOP THE CAR THERE'S A FUCKING WIRE FENCE AHEAD!'' Takashi yelled as the car skidded side ways only slamming the side of the car into the fence squishing any that were caught between the jeep and the fence splattering the windows red with blood.

Takashi saw that the hoard was now charging towards the car as he jumped off the roof and slammed into the first ones body riding the body like a surf board leaving a trail of blood on the road.

With little time to spare he slashed away with his claws as he ripped five of them in half before stabbing another in the gut and throwing it over his shoulder and slamming it into another, one tried to grab him from behind before a gunshot was heard as the infected fell to the ground with a hole in its head, he turned to see Kohta with his rifle smoking as he shot four more times into four other infected.

Saeko came out slamming her bokken into one then spinning around and slamming it into another, Hisashi got out and fired his gun spraying a few bullets missing some but hitting the others, Rei used her rifles bayonet attachment to stab them or slice off their heads as she and Hisashi stayed close to the jeep while Yuuki, Alice and Shizuka stayed in the car.

Morita poked his shotgun out of the window as he used the shotgun to blast a group of them back, unfortunately he was thrown back by the recoil and hit his head on inside knocking him out in the process.

Takashi sliced and slashed at the hoard as he tried his best to keep the majority of the hoard away from the others, blood flew through the air as he continued his slaughter of the undead his claws dripping with blood as he twisted around to slice three more of them in the chest, he turned to see Saeko making her way towards him as her wooden sword bashed them across the head, sometimes even dislodging them from their bodies.

He was about to tell her to turn back before a familiar roar shocked the group as they looked up to see two of the 'hunters' clinging to the side of the buildings as blood dripped down their jaws and sharp teeth.

They roared as they descended towards the most dangerous threat, mainly Takashi, he dodged out of the way as one slammed into the ground in front of him as the creature created a large crater in its wake, the second tried to attack Saeko but missed as she dodged out of the way as she did her best to avoid the creatures sharp claws.

Takashi roared in anger as he ran up to the first on and slashed at the creatures legs causing it collapse on to its knees as it roared in pain, he then jumped on to the creatures back as he hacked and slashed at the creatures back until the spin eventually snapped and the beast fell dead on to the ground.

before he got a chance to absorb the creature he turned to see Saeko fighting against the second beast as it tried to skewer her with its claws, unfortunately she tripped as her foot caught on one of the dead bodies.

"DAMN IT SAEKO LOOK OUT!" he said as he dashed towards the attack.

He made it as he took the attack for her as the creatures claws dug into his flesh before jutting out of his chest, he coughed up blood as the attack nearly destroyed his heart.

"TAKASHI!" the group yelled as they say their friend be impaled by the monsters claws, Rei's and Saeko's voice being the loudest as they saw the boy they admired/liked take a seemingly fatal wound to the chest.

Takashi roared in rage as he dug both of his claws into the monsters face as he then ripped the monsters head from it body effectively killing the beast.

He collapsed to his knees as his wound began to close, but he felt weak as he lost too much blood from the hunters attack, "Takashi! Are you alright" Saeko asked as she helped him to his feet, he was about to respond before he noticed more of 'them' limping towards them too many to count as he tried to summon up his claws but he grunted in pain as his hands remained the same.

"D-damn it I took to much damage, I can't form my claws" Takashi said as he tried to get to his feet, he turned to see the hoard was now blocking their way back to the group…they were trapped.

"Saeko…you have to run right now, get back to the others while you still can" Takashi ordered as he tried to get her to run away, but she wouldn't move as the hoard grew closer to them.

"No I'm not going anywhere with out you" she said as she raised her bokken to the hoard, she charged at them as she bashed as whacked away at their heads effectively killing them, Takashi turned to see the others back at the car as they fought off the hoard, he clenched his fists and closed his eyes as he tried to come up with a plan.

'Damn it…damn it…I can't let them die…damn it…damn it…' Takashi thought as he grew angry at the fact that at the moment he was useless to do anything to help, suddenly the tendrils swarmed around his body as more of them drew closer to the survivors, he opened his eyes as he screamed.

"DAMN IT!" as the tendrils shot out of his body spreading all over the area but missing Saeko and the others.

The group gasped in shock as the tendrils grabbed each and everyone of 'them' around him and dragged them back to the center before exploding in a shower of blood that was absorbed into Takashi's body, when it was over there was a large hole in the hoard of 'them' as Takashi was kneeling in the center of a large crater, the tendrils swarming around his body as the others stared at the 'devastation' that he caused.

Saeko slowly walked towards him, as he had not moved since unleashing that attack, she was worried for him when he looked up to her blood splattered on his face as his eyes glowed blood red,

"Are you ok Takashi?" she asked as he slowly stood up only to collapse on one knee as she rushed and grabbed him by the arm and helped him up.

"Y-yeah I'm fine…but whatever I just did drained me…" he said as he tried to form his claws again only for it to fail as they remained human, he looked over to the others to see that the hoard that was attacking the group was now limping towards them.

"It looks like they are coming this way…good at least the others will be safe" he said as he noticed that 'they' had forgotten about the survivors and were now focused on them, before he could say anything else someone yelled out.

"GET THE LADDER! GET THEM OUT OF THERE!" as they turned to see a group dressed in firefighters equipment blast some of 'them' away with high pressured water cannons, while the others helped the survivors over the fence and to safety.

"Um I don't think they are with the fire department" Saeko said as she and Takashi watched them save Takagi and the others.

"For the moment I think its best if we get away from these lot" Saeko said as she noticed the hoard was limping closer to the two.

"Agreed" Takashi said as he and Saeko moved up the stairs until they were above the hoard, Takashi watched just as one of the fire fighters took off their helmet to reveal a woman with long hair similar to Takagi but darker.

"Who is that?" Saeko asked as she had never seen the woman in her life, "That's Takagi's mother…fucking hell we're saved" he said as he smiled, but stopped as he saw that the hoard had now cut off any chance for them to regroup with the survivors.

"I don't think help is coming anytime soon" Saeko said as she noticed the hoard as well.

"And I'm too weak to use my powers till I heal…I know this area I know another way to Takagi's house come on" Takashi said as Saeko nodded and followed him.

Rei watched as Takashi and Saeko turned away from them and started running in another direction, she could not help but feel anger towards the purple haired girl as she watched her former boyfriend run off with her.

"Where are they going?" Morita said as he watched them disappear, Kohta spied them through his scope as they disappeared.

"They know its too dangerous to try and take on this many of them, and what ever Takashi did probably weakened him to the point that fighting a large group of 'them' will put his and Saeko's life in danger" he said as he thought about the situation.

"Takashi knows these streets he can get to Takagi's place easily we just have to have faith in him" Hisashi said as he helped his girlfriend up from the ground, he frowned when he saw a scowl across her face pointing in the same direction that Takashi and Saeko left in, Kotha felt a tug on his pants leg as he looked down to see Alice looking up to him with a look of worry in her eyes,

"Kotha…are they going to be alright?" she asked as she was worried about her new family, Kotha smiled as he patted her on the head.

"Of course they are Alice its Takashi and Saeko we are talking about they will be just fine" he said as he comforted the girl.

Saya hearing this ran over to the edge of the fence loud enough for the pair to hear, "I'LL BE WAITING…COME TO MY HOUSE ON THE HILL!" she yelled as the two began their decent into hell.


Three hours later


A infected man limped down the street completely unaware of the world around him as he began searching for something or someone to eat, from the looks of it he was once a salary man that was unfortunate to get infected by a fellow co-worker, this man could have had a wife or a family that he either cared for deeply or he could have hated his life and been having an affair with his wife and family or he could have been living a lonely life with no one to care for except maybe a house cat or pet.

None of that mattered as Takashi slammed his fist straight through his chest as the four tendrils sprung out of his back and began to consume the body, Takashi felt a bit of his strength returning as he finished consuming the man he then charged at an expensively dressed woman and crushed her head between his palms as his body absorbed the remains, he turned to see Saeko smashing away at more of them with her Bokken as a ferial grin was on her face as she relished in the slaughter.

Takashi looked to see a larger group of them limping towards them, they hid behind a wall as they saw the hoard blocking the hill to Takagi's house.

"Damn too many here too…we need to keep moving" he said as they took a different direction, as they were running up another street something caught Takashi's eye as he stopped and looked at a motorbike store, he grinned as he got an idea.

As they entered the store they noticed that the place was empty except for the motorbikes and all the stock of leathers jackets, bags and helmets,

"I'm going to find us a ride you pick out what we need" he said as he began to search the store.

"That's alright but tandem is dangerous…this isn't a date you know" she said as she cast him a cheeky grin, he was confused until he turned around to see a poster with a man and a woman holding each other affectionately as they rode on a motorcycle, he slightly chuckled at her joke.

"By the way are you feeling better now…can you use your powers again" she asked as she was still concerned for the mans health, Takashi looked at his hand as it morphed into a claw before it instantly transformed back into a hand.

Almost back to full strength…it seems I need to consume in order to heal any serious injuries" he said as he looked at the girl who had a down trodden look on her face.

"I'm sorry Takashi that you got injured…you told me to leave and I didn't listen to you I have shamed myself" she said until she felt two arms wrap around her bringing her into a hug.

"Don't worry about it, the important thing is your safe and that's all I care about" he said as he failed to notice the blush that grew on her face.

As they separated Saeko turned on a light in a separate room and found an interesting vehicle, it was an Argo 8x8 Avenger 700 utility transport vehicle, she grinned as she called Takashi over "How about this?" she asked as he came into the room.

"Oh hell yeah" he said as he placed the bag in the back and tested the steering.

"Did I ever tell you how much I enjoy your taste?" she said as he scratched the area between his nose and mouth while smiling at her.


10 minutes later


The sound of a motorbike could be heard as the infected turned their heads towards the sound as two teenagers rode down the rode in the vehicle, they speed down the highway Saeko began to speak up over the noise "Things are about to get interesting" she said as they got closer to the river.

"You got that right" he said as he increased his speed as they infected began to chase after them.

"I don't suppose you have a plan do you, Feel like sharing it with me?" she asked as he concentrated on the road.

"I do but…" he said as he trailed off.

"But what?" she asked being a little curious about the boys plan,

"It might get a little too interesting" he said as he grinned at her, she grinned in return

"Don't worry what you give me I can handle".

The vehicle jumped in the air as they landed at the bottom of a small hill near the river, they turned to see the infected stumble and fall down the slope as they crashed into the ground.

"Hah they can use the stairs but they can't go down the slopes" Takashi said until they heard a screaming roar as some of the new infected lunged from the top towards the pair, but Takashi grabbed one as it lunged at him and ripped it in half and absorbed its body,

"Well except those ones" Saeko said as she saw the others getting back off the ground.

"HOLD ON!" Takashi said as he revved the engine and drove straight for the water Saeko screaming at him

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!" she said as they sailed through the air, they landed in the water as it splashed down on both of them.

"Sorry I forgot to mention that this thing was amphibious you ok Saeko...Saeko?" he asked as he turned around "Saeko-AHHH!" Takashi said as his eyes nearly bulged out of his head.

The sight he saw would be burned into his memory forever as he saw the Busujima soaked to the bone, her white shirt had gotten so wet that he could see her floral pattern bra showed through her shirt, Takashi had a full blown blush on his face as he stared at the girl till she covered herself with her arms,

"G-geez you don't-you don't have to stare" she said as she was clearly embarrassed at her state of dress…despite the fact she once stood in front of him with nothing but an apron and a black thong.

Instantly he was stuttering out an apology "R-right s-sorry I phew I-" he continued until they were able to get to a small island in the middle of the river, Takashi got out first as he used his enhanced vision to see that the hoard was staying away from the water,

"It looks like they are staying away from the water…we should be safe here till they go away"

"Achoo" he stopped when he turned around to see Saeko holding herself as she tried to keep herself.

"Oh shit sorry Saeko" he said as he reached into the backpack and pulled out a black singlet and handed it to her.

"Here you should change we don't want you catching a cold now do we" he said as he smiled at her causing her to blush a little before taking the singlet.

"Thank you" was all she said as she grabbed the singlet from him.

While she was changing Takashi turned his back to her and placed two fingers on his forehead as he willed himself to not look at the girl undressing herself, when she was done he turned to see her placing her hair into a high pony tail and stretch so that she could rest for a while, he blushed when her saw her breast be pushed by the shirt she stopped when she saw him staring at her.

"What's the matter don't you like it" she said with a sultry voice as she posed a little for him, he instantly blushed as he waved his hands in front of him.

"N-no just the opposite actually" he said as he was blushing madly, she giggled at him as she saw him fluster a little.

"God you're such a sucker, can't you tell when I'm just fucking with you" she said as he blushed more.

"Right-Right of course you are" he said as he blushed and looked away, after a minute of awkward silence he turned back to look at her

"Hey um…have you ever had a…boyfriend or something?'' he asked her she looked at him before asking

"Excuse me" she asked with a slightly coy smile on her face.

"Sorry I was just making conversation…I mean someone like you might have had a crush or something" she was silent as her eyes clouded as if she was reliving a memory,

"I did once…I even thought it was…love" she said as Takashi looked away a slight look of disappointment on his face.

"It looks like it ok now, most of them are gone now" Saeko said as she pointed towards the now empty river bank

"Right" Takashi said as they returned to the buggy.


10 minutes later


Later the pair found themselves racing down the road as the noise of their vehicle attracted more of them, "it looks like you and I get more popular as we go along" she said as more of 'them' chased them down towards the park.

Takashi only grinned as he speed faster to the park suddenly the buggy jumped into the air as it landed in the parks fountain once a gain splashing them with water, Saeko glared at him as she whipped the water off her face

"Jesus do you enjoy getting me wet or something" she said as Takashi just looked at her and grabbed a roll of tape out of the bag.

"What are you doing?" she asked as he tied the handle and the throttle so that the vehicle would turn right.

She then noticed that the buggy was only going round and round in the fountain as the noise attracted more of them to the sound, "I see…smart" she said as he grinned at her,

"We can take the east exit it should take us to the back of Takagi's house" he said as his claws formed on his hands "It looks like I can cause some more damage now" he said as he claws flashed in the dying light of the sun.

Saeko grinned as she jumped out of the vehicle and smashed one of them across the head killing it instantly, she then ducked under another as she slammed it into the ground, she then spun her Bokken around as she held the tip to one of their throats

"God you reek…I know your dead but would a little hygiene hurt you" she said as she then slammed it into the air before landing in the fountain only to be trampled by the wheels of the car.

Takashi watched as she continued to slaughter the group of undead completely entranced by her moves "Holy shit…she's a maniac" he said as he rushed after her slicing and dicing any in his way.

Suddenly she stopped as she came across a group of undead children, their eyes white and skin pale as blood leaked from their wounds, she froze as they drew closer to her.

"Saeko…Saeko what the hell are you doing!" Takashi yelled as he ran towards her, his claw reverting into his fist, just as the child lunged at her Takashi appeared as he slammed his fist into its face and sent it flying into a metal railing causing the metal to bang and produce a loud vibration that drew all of them towards the pair.

"Shit come on!" Takashi screamed as he grabbed her by the hand and dragged her away from the hoard.


Later


The pair found themselves in front of an Shinto shrine as Takashi dragged her inside and place a wooden beam on the door, using his enhanced vision he quickly found a the candles in the room as he produced the lighter they picked up at the shop and lit them bathing the room in a warm orange glow allowing them to see, he turned to see Saeko sitting on the ground as she held herself as she just stared at the ground like she was ashamed at herself.

"Saeko…what happed back there" he asked hoping she would answer him, she didn't as she just continued to stare at the ground.

"its too dangerous to go out at night…we'll stay here until sunrise and then leave right away ok" he asked only to receive silence, seeing that he wasn't going to get an answer from her anytime soon he walked over to the shrine as he inspected the swords there.

"Whoa" he said as he removed the sword from it scabbed revealing that the blade was in fact real, "This is…real hey Saeko check this out" he said only to receive more silence from the girl, sighing he pulled her top clothes out of the bag and placed them on the ground in front of her

"I'll let you get changed ok" he said as he went behind one of the curtains, after a minute or so he heard her say "I'm done" which meant that he could come back around and sit next to her by the candle.

They sat in silence, as they didn't look at each other, finally it was Saeko who spoke up as she asked him "you're not going to ask me what happened back there?" Takashi shook his head as he turned his attention back to her.

"For you act that way…it must have been something serious" he said as he looked at her, she turned back to face him as a sad look came on her face.

"If you don't mind I just want to talk about it…you did bring it up after all" she asked as he nodded and began to listen to her fully.

"I started thinking about it…the fear" she said as she was refereeing to what happened at the park, the look in her eyes.

"Because of the little kid is that it?" he asked only to see her shake her head.

"To tell you the truth it wasn't about that at all…remember when you asked me back at the sand bar if I ever had a crush on somebody" she said Takashi blushed slightly.

"Oh right about that I'm sorry" he said.

"No its ok…I mean hasn't everyone…I never told anyone…because I don't feel I have the right to" she said as Takashi looked confused

"But I figured you could get anyone you want" as he began to wonder why she would think that.

"Even though I nearly killed someone?" she asked as Takashi stared at her, she continued as he remained silent "Four years ago I was attacked on the streets at night, I had my practice sword with me, and once I started…I didn't stop…I couldn't stop…I was…he was…. after I told the police what happened they gave me a ride in the police car".

"But it was just self defense?" he said as he was confused about where this was going.

"It may have started out that way but…to be honest I enjoyed…just letting the rage out it was…bliss…when I knew I had the upper hand I felt so calm, I pretend I was terrified and then when I had him…I attacked…I fought till there was nothing but blood and bones…. it was bliss absolute total pleasure" she said as she began to get a mad look in her eyes.

"That's me! That's who I am cant you see the power and control over someone's life…does any one like that deserve love!" she said as she stared madly at him.

"But ever since this has happened I felt that way too!" he said as he remembered slaughtering all of the infected, the hunters and threating Shido with his powers, Saeko only looked at him as he told her.

"But you became that way when this happened…I was already like this…its almost like its gotten worse…like I'm a monster" she said until she felt him place a hand over hers causing her to look up at him as he stared into her eyes.

They stared at each other as the soft sounds of the rustling trees and the small flame in the room was all they could hear, finally he spoke to her "Don't say that...don't ever say that" he said as she stared at his shaking form.

"Don't ever call yourself a monster" he said as he eyes shifted to red

"not when there is a true monster in the room" as she gasped at him slightly

"Saeko…I don't care about what happened, maybe he deserved to die maybe he didn't I don't care! But ever since this has happened, what I've become I've been afraid…afraid that one day I'm going to loose control of my powers and kill everyone I care about, that I'll become a true mindless monster devoid of my humanity and sanity…but I'll still fight and if I do become a monster"

"Then I'll be a monster that kills other monsters…but until then I'll stay by your side, forever if I have to, because I care about you Saeko, and I won't let those dead mother fuckers take you ever" he said as small amount of tears filled her eyes, soon they started to close the gap between them as they embraced in a kiss as they flame blew out.


Morning


Takashi peeked his head out of the door his hood pulled back, Saeko was fastening her new sword to her waist as they stepped out of the shrine, "We'll take the back way, we should be able to get to Takagi's house in about twenty minutes by foot" suddenly they heard a moan as they saw a hoard of 'them' coming towards them, he was about to charge at them until he felt Saeko place her hand on his as she readied her sword

"Let me…I'm feeling better now thank you" she said as she stepped in front of them and pulled her sword out in lightning fast speed as two of 'them' lost their heads, she then turned around as she bisected one in half as blood flew through the air she grinned as she saw the blood flying before her 'this is it' she thought.

She then kicked one on the ground as she brought her blade up 'This is it' she thought as she stabbed it in the brain, she then spun around and sliced more of them in half, she then charged at them as her blade sliced them in half.

'this is me' she thought, suddenly the ground shook as a huge fat looking monster with huge stone like fists came charging at the pair, before Saeko could dodge Takashi came charging at the beast slamming his feet into the monsters face causing it to stumble backwards, Takashi back flipped in the air as his claws grew out of his hands, Saeko charged as her blade sliced at the monsters soft belly causing it to stumble back in pain.

Takashi dodged as it brought its fist down on the ground causing spike to shoot out of the earth as it continued till it destroyed the shrine, Takashi and Saeko then proceeded to slice and cut into its large stomach as it roared in pain, when it was weak enough Takashi jumped onto the monsters body as he plunged his claws straight into its brain repeatedly until it collapsed on its back, like with the hunter four red and black tendrils grew form his back as it devoured the monster.

Takashi could feel his arms change again as he felt his arms grow heavier as his fists began to grow huge as they became spiked and glowing red on the inside as the skin had turned into stone.

Takashi and Saeko grinned as they charged at the hoard, Saeko slicing and cutting into their flesh as Takashi slammed his new 'Hammerfists' into the hoard reducing them to a paste like substance, he then jumped into the air as he came sailing down on to the hoard as his fists struck the ground huge spike grew out of the ground as it impaled all the remaining dead.

Saeko grinned as she finished off the last of her hoard, she could feel her heart beating, her breathing labored and her she could feel her self become wet 'YES!' she screamed to herself as she relished in the fight.

After they were done they continued to run till they could see the mansion dead ahead, but before they could get there Saeko stopped him as she grabbed his hand "wait a minute" she looked into his eyes as he stared back into hers.

"You meant…what you said right, because if that's the case…we'll both be monsters together" she said as she squeezed his hand, he looked at her before grinning and screaming "HELL'S YEAH!"


Later at the mansion


The group were waiting at the back of the mansion as they waited for the pair, "Kotha why are we waiting here" she asked as she was wondering why they weren't waiting at the front,

"I have a feeling that they would be coming from the back if they wanted to sneak in" Kotha said as he kept looking out the back, suddenly Zeke started to bark as they saw two individuals come up to the gate, Alice started to run towards the gate as Saya ordered them to open the gate for them.

But before Alice could get to them a group of guard of the mansion raised their guns and swords at Takashi as one of them pulled Saeko away from him, before Saya or anyone could do anything they heard a booming voice.

"STAY WHERE YOU ARE!" the voice said as a tall looking man wearing a military uniform and a sword on his waist as some of the guards saluted him, the man was tall well built with short black hair and orange eyes similar to Saya's but more fierce then hers.

This man was Don Souichiro Takagi Saya's father and a political leader in an ultra-nationalist organization, he raised his hand as some of the men parted away as he stood in front of Takashi.

"I saw what you did back at the shrine from here…I'm sorry to do this to you Komuro…but I need to make sure you're not a threat to the other survivors here, lock him up until I deem it safe" he said as they others stared in shock,

"WHAT FATHER YOU CAN'T TAKASHI IS NOT A THREAT! HE-" Saya was cut off as Takashi raised his hand which silenced them all, he glared at the man in front of him "its alright Takagi…he has every right to be afraid of me" he said as he continued to glare at the man who glared right back.

"Takashi…" Saeko said as she watched him raise his hands and placed them at the back of his head, he turned to smile at her "I'll be fine Saeko…trust me" he said until one of the guards slammed the butt of his gun to the back of his head knocking him out cold as he blacked out.

"TAKASHI!"


Meanwhile back at the shrine


An armed group of men began searching as they inspected the area, their guns armed as they continued to inspect the damage caused by Takashi and the monster, one of the rookies whistled as he ran his fingers over the protruding spikes as the bodies still hung up on the spikes, "Man…I do not want to be this guy I'll tell you what" he said as he looked up at the dead people.

The squad leader placed his hand on his radio as he contacted HQ "Command this is BLACKWATCH Unit 4 we have confirmed visual that Zeus defiantly came this way, do you still have eyes on him?" he asked as he looked around at the carnage.

-"Negative squad leader we lost visual when the satellite moved last night…maintain you position and report back if you find anything understood"- the communication specialist said as she gave the orders from the general, the squad leader nodded as he received his orders "roger that command we'll report back if we find anything over" he said as he hung up,

"Captain over here we found some bloody foot prints they seem to be headed in this direction" one of the soldier said as he came over to the soldier, he noted that they were evenly spaced as they moved away from the shrine and was headed to the high class district of the street.

The captain grinned as he followed the trail down the road "Got you" he said as he grinned darkly at the blood tracks.
