Chapter 2

Tokyo Medical Institution

There was a body on the examination table in the morgue, a sheet covering it. Two doctors, both dressed in green scrubs. One was checking a list that had information about the recently deceased man, while the other was looking towards the body nervously, he was new and not used to this sort of stuff. Something about it just didn't sit well with him...

"Alright, let's get started with the autopsy." The head doctor pulled back the sheet and both of them stared at the corpse in front of them, withholding a sound of horror.

When the body was transferred from the hospital of a small town to Tokyo they knew that this wasn't a normal case of blood loss. The skin of the dead man was deteriorating at an alarming rate. As they looked down at the man, they saw a huge chunk of the man's throat was missing. The report said he was bitten on the neck, so this wasn't strange. What was strange, was that the left side of his face was almost completely muscle. This decay rate was abnormal for a body that was only a few hours old.

"H-How did he die, doctor?"

"The report says he was bitten on the neck during an arrest."

"Oh yeah, I heard about that on the news. Officer Natsuno, right?"

"Yes, It's a shame he died so young at the age of 25...We should get started." They both put on their gloves and turned around to grab the necessary utensils to dissect the body.

Neither of them noticed the body on the table when it moved. They didn't notice when it sat up straight, and they couldn't react in time when the body came right up behind them.

Household in Tokyo

A young girl was on her phone texting, when she got a text message from her friend.

From: Shizuka

To: Miyumi

'OMG Miyumi! Did u hear about the death of that police officer on the news?! Some guy actually bit him! It was soooo gross. .'

From: Miyumi

To: Shizuka

'Wut? No way, rlly?! o.o'

From: Shizuka

To: Miyumi

'Yes way! And they say there mite be an outbreak.'

From: Miyumi

To: Shizuka

'It can't B. It must have been a dog that bit him n gave him rabies or sumthing!'

Mayumi dismissed what her friend told her. She was a person who believed in science and she knew rabies wasn't a big deal. She put down her phone when she heard footsteps behind her. Knowing it was her dad she didn't bother turning around.

"Hi daddy! When did you get home?" Not getting an answer right away, she turned around to face him, seeing his pale complexion she began to worry. She stood up and made her way to her father who was in the doorway.

"Are you alright, daddy? What hap-" She gasped in pain when his hands went on her shoulder, squeezing with strength she didn't know her father had. "Wh-What are you doing?!"

The last thing she saw was her dad come closer, and opening his mouth before she felt hot white pain lace through her entire body.

Streets of Tokyo

The crowd stood frozen. They were having trouble processing what they were seeing. One minute everything was normal, people walking and greeting each other, or hurrying to their jobs. Now however, they stared in horrified shock as two people were attacking someone.

"What's going on..?"

"I don't know. They just started acting that way."

"Maybe it's an act? Street performance?"

"Really? Wow! They are good actors."

Some of the braver spectators got closer, pulling out their phones and taking pictures. Applauding the two teens that had such amazing make-up on. It looked so realistic! But the one they were really impressed with was the one who was playing the part as the victim. His screams were so real, sending chills down their spines. It was almost as if the teeth that were clamped around his neck were actually causing him pain. But that couldn't be right? This stuff didn't happen in their town.

A few miles away, in an office building there was chaos. People running over each other, trampling anyone unfortunate enough to lose their balance, trying to get away from their crazed co-workers. Those that were able to make it to the stairwell and elevators were frightened by their friends weird behavior, but they were glad they made it out. They rushed out of the building and froze in horror as they saw the same scene they had just escaped from.

It was then that they knew... They knew that nowhere was safe.

Teiko Academy: Cafeteria

Kuroko sighed, exhausted and bored.

It's the same thing everyday for the past few weeks...wake up at 6:30, put away bedding, showering, standing in front of the rooms so the guards could make sure everyone was there. Breakfast, room check, hell-ish exercise, followed by classes which lead to another check, then lunch and even more classes...

'The only time we have to ourselves is while we eat... and the small amounts of free time we get between classes.'

"Cheer up, Kurokocchi! You'll get used to it in no time!" The smiling blonde said.

"I'll try, Kise-kun." Kuroko said, though he didn't think he would ever get used to this.

"Where's the newbie of cell 4?" A rough voice came from his right. He looked up to see a tall guy with corn rows looking around for the new addition to cell 4, not seeing him because of his lack of presence. Kuroko was about to answer, not seeing any harm in saying it, when a hand was placed over his mouth. He raised an eyebrow and looked into the green eyes of the teen whose hand was preventing him from talking.

"You don't have to answer him, Kuroko. I doubt an ape looking guy like him would understand the human language even if you did answer."

"What's that supposed to mean, you four-eyes?"

"Exactly how it sounds. Or is your brain as small as your primitive looks suggest? Honestly, I don't know why I even bother trying to communi-." Midorima was cut off as a fist grabbed his shirt. He looked at the tanned teen holding him.

"Stop making a scene, moron." Aomine said, eyes narrowed at the other. The two continued to have a heated argument, causing the other teens in the dining hall to cheer at the prospect of seeing a fight.

'What...is going on...?' Kuroko was so confused. He looked at his other roommates, Akashi was calmly sipping his tea as if nothing was happening, Murasakibara was simply eating his meal quietly, Kise was smiling at the scene as if it were the most enjoyable thing in his life. Sure he's been here for a few weeks, but he would never get used to how his friends personalities would change when others were present.

When they heard the rowdiness, the guards came in and starting pulling people away from the scene. By that time, his friends at the table and almost all the other inmates had joined in. Kuroko saw that Akashi looked disappointed, and Kuroko could've sworn he saw the red-head slip a sharp-looking object back under his clothes.

"I'll make all of you cell 4 bastards pay! Ya hear me?!" The corn rowed teen swore as he was dragged off by two guards.

"Who was that guy? Why did you stop me from answering?" He asked, looking at his smug looking roommates.

"Eh? It was just Haizaki from cell 8. He used to room with us, and then he got kicked out of the room when he was caught doing something he shouldn't have, after that Kise took his place. Ever since then hes had a grudge against us." Midorima explained.

"But..why would he have a grudge against you all?"

"Hmm, no idea!" The evil smirk the other hid by adjusting his glasses told Kuroko otherwise.

"Stop teasing him, Mido-chin." Murasakibara said, he looked down at Kuroko. "It's because he wasn't fast enough to get away from the guards one night after curfew, and got into trouble."

"Whats that have to do with the grudge though...?"

"Ah, probably because Aka-chin saw that we wouldn't make it if we didn't sacrifice anyone. So he made the decision to stab Haizaki to slow him down so the rest of us could run." Murasakibara said, after thinking for a while, though after he finished he didn't seem to see anything wrong with the way Akashi had handled things.

"Ah..I see..." Kuroko shook his head, feeling sorry for Haizaki.

Teiko Academy: Track

"Come on! Pick up the pace! 50 more laps now!" The guard in charge of the exercise that day yelled.

"Tch, he said 50 laps more, 10 laps ago." Aomine grunted.

"He must hate us! So meeean!" Kise whined, passing by Aomine.

"Quit your whining, Kise. It's annoying." Midorima stated.

Akashi looked behind him, seeing the four of his friends running with no problem, not even breaking a sweat. He then looked for Kuroko, which took a while, and frowned when he saw him panting heavily, last one in the line of runners. Kise turned to see what their leader was looking at.

"Poor Kurokocchi! He's too delicate for this stuff! How dare they make him do this."

'Th-This is..torture...' Kuroko concluded, he couldn't feel his legs anymore, and his heart was beating so fast from the exertion. He stopped running and collapsed on the ground, using the last of his energy to roll out of the way so he wouldn't be trampled when the others made their next lap.

At times like these, he was glad at how unnoticeable he was. Laying on his back and catching his breath, Kuroko looked up towards the sky. He double taked when he saw the sky above was almost completely blocked by hundreds of crows. He blinked, thinking maybe something was in his eyes, but when he opened them again he saw that the crows were indeed still there.

'I've never seen so many crows...' He jumped back and gave a small surprised shout when he saw something drop from the sky and land next to him. He looked at the object and saw that it was... 'Is this...an ear?!'

Eyes wide, Kuroko backed away from the ear, only to bump into something hard. He turned around and looked up into the face of an irritated guard.

"Who told you to stop?! Get back to running!" Kuroko pointed a shaky finger towards the ear on the ground. The guard, noticing the boy's fear, let the lap matter drop before walking over to the thing he was pointing at. He looked down and saw that it was definitely an ear, a human one at that.

"What in the-" He started, but was interrupted when a van narrowly missed the two of them and crashed into a nearby pole.

Hearing the crash, the other inmates ran to the source and gathered around. Staring at the van that was practically hugging the pole, the teens commented on scenario's. Finding it funny that a cop was hurt. Haizaki and his gang were the loudest.

"Hey...that's a police van isn't it?"

"That was a pretty nasty crash, think they're in trouble?"

"Tsk, tsk a cop drinking and driving. Shouldn't he know better?"

"Be quiet, all of you!" Shouted the guard who was coaching them before. "Now, go and see if he's alright."

"Hah? Why us? Isn't he one of your friends?" Aomine said, putting his hands in his pocket and making no move to help.

"N-No back talking! Just do i-." The guard stopped talking when the back door to the van slid open. From the darkness of the van, a young man with brown hair stepped out, his face and shirt covered in blood, and wearing a dazed expression.

"The accident couldn't have been that bad..." Midorima commented when he saw the guys appearance.

"Are you okay?!" The guard shouted, rushing to catch the other before he hit the ground. Putting an arm under his arm and behind his back, he shifted the hurt boy's weight against himself. "You all try to get the car away from that pole while I take him to the infirmary!"

The inmates turned away from the bossy guard, and looked at the crushed car in front of them.

"Tch, of course he's taking the easy way out. Let's go guys, we don't have to stay here." Haizaki muttered with a sour look on his face, signaling for his group to follow before turning around to leave, only to be stopped by Aomine who placed his hand firmly on the other guys shoulder.

"And where do ya think you're going, Haizaki?" Gritting his teeth, Haizaki moved to shove the hand off, only for the other to tighten his hold hard enough to almost dislocated his shoulder.

Seeing this act of violence against their leader, the other members of cell 8 got into fighting stances, ready to fight the cell 4 group, who all looked extremely excited at the prospect of fighting, well except for Kuroko who was slowly inching away from the tense scene. His escape failed when he accidentally kicked the mirror of the van, that had broken off during the crash, and it hit the side of the car with a loud clang. Everyone looked in his direction at the noise, noticing him.

"Trying to go somewhere, ya brat?" A bald guy grabbed onto Kuroko's thin shoulder to prevent him from escaping.

Kuroko, trying to think of a way to get out of this situation, backed up and looked around for anything to help him. When he turned his head to the right, he caught a glimpse of something from the corner of his eyes. Turning all the way around he looked inside the van.

"S-Someone's inside. He looks hurt." The others turned to him when he spoke before they heard a strange noise. They looked in the direction...

Blue eyes widened as he found he recognized the sound...He looked over and saw the guard laying on the ground, neck and leg bent at an unnatural angle and on top of him was the boy he was supposed to be carrying to the infirmary, but..it was obvious he didn't need to be there since he seemed very content snacking on the bloody guts coming from the hole in the guards stomach.

They all stood there, frozen and staring at the grisly scene before them.
