Before anything else, I want to say, sorry for not updating, and from now on, updates will be monthly.
Chapter Three of The Death of Binan
''Hello? Police there's an emergency!'' said Ryuu Zaou, sitting on the closed toilet. The lights were dimmed, as the only source of light was from Ryuu's phone. A small table was sitting in the front of the door as a barrier. From the blade of light that was under, several shadows wandered. From them, moans could be heard, as just the sound of them made Ryuu's skin crawl.
''Sir, our lines are busy.'' said the officer on the other line.
Ryuu snarled, shit. He clenched his phone, heat of it radiating on his cheek, feeling his palm turn moist. ''Busy my ass! There are many zombies here at Binan High School! We need your help!''
The officer sighed. ''How does it look outside?''
''Look outside?!'' Ryuu hollered, eyes widening. He banged the side of the stall. ''I'm calling from a restroom with many zombies wandering down the halls, and you expect me to look outside?! I've been trying to get a hold of you people for two hours!''
''Sir, please calm down. There are many people like you in the same predicament. We police still have many places to evacuate.'' The officer said in a firm tone, it was apparent the police didn't have time to argue, let alone with younger people. Those like Ryuu, specifically bratty.
The pink haired teen sighed in defeat, rubbing the bridge of his nose. "Fine. How long shall I wait for you to arrive?"
"About two hours from where you are at. Please be patient." With that the line dropped, leaving Ryuu alone. The pink haired boy looked down. As he heard the moans continue, he pulled his knees to his chin, burrowing into them. Damn it. Not because the police would take forever, because he felt truly alone.
As if a mental gavel whacked the side of his head, Ryuu's eyes widened. Damn it again, he was a fool to waste a fraction of his phone battery on not calling his friend Io. He pulled up his phone again, opened his contacts, and placed Io on speed dial. He put his phone next to him, and waited very eagerly, as he knew Io could be anywhere in the whole school. Either hiding under a desk in a room somewhere, or hiding in a closet.
A long 'beeeep' radiated, as Ryuu chanted desperately, "Io, Io, Io... please be breathing..."
A loud bang erupted on the door like a gunshot, causing Ryuu's brown eyes to dilate. He turned, but even though next to him was the stall, he could feel it right next to him, clawing on his side like a demon's claw. Kami-sama, as the pink haired boy heard a shout, making him jump. Maybe someone was running away from the zombies?

"En-chan, over there!" Atsushi said, pointing to a door on the side of the hall, as En-chan stood near a corner, where a small bundle of the undead were hanging around the stairs, which led to the Nurse's Office. Going through that bundle, En thought, would be impossible, due to that he has only a bat, and he had to carry Atsushi. We'd be torn to shreds... He imagined, just the thought of Atsushi weeping as a zombie would drag him into hell, as another zombie would bite into En's arm, spewing bloodlike pus.
En-chan complied, running away from the corner. Fear's whip strikes his back, as En-chan heard the sound of one of the undead walk towards them from behind, moaning while holding its chewed on arms out. At that same moment, the bat En-chan was holding onto in his shirt fell to the ground, it didn't make a slap!, but without it, En-chan would be shitted on. "Oh no..." En-chan mouthed, turning his head around, as Atsushi's eyes widened through his glasses.
"En-chan!" Atsushi shouted, trying to get En's attention, as they were getting near the door. En-chan turned back, and he shouted, "Quickly!" He let go of Atsushi's legs, making the latter's legs fall; En-chan grabbed the knob, only to curse again, seeing that the door was stuck. En held his right arm across Atsushi's chest, as he tried to budge the door with his left arm. "DAMN!"
Ryuu looked at his phone again, debating he should either call Io, or actually find out what is going on like the officer said. If Io picks up and he's okay, Ryuu would probably glad, but either wait for Io to arrive, which would put him in the Devil's palm; if Ryuu opens the door, and sees some surviving students, that would bring A and B possibilities, a) they're friendly and they'll help Ryuu find his friend and try to make out alive, or b) they're savages and will probably leave Ryuu as food for the undead. One or the other. Call and wait for Io or risk getting trashed.
Ryuu chose choice B, kicking the door open with his shoe, jumping into the room, heading straight for the door. He kicked the table to the side, he grabbed the knob, opened it, allowing En to casually walk in with Atsushi. Ryuu slammed the door shut, placing the table with the pot back in front of the door. The pink haired boy looked at whoever had walked into the restroom, brow raised up. Ryuu noticed, and quickly he blurted, "Yufuin-senpai...?!", him resting his back on the wall, panting, as well as noticing the other student. "Kinugawa-senpai?!" as Atsushi had let himself fall onto the floor, holding his damaged ankle.
Atsushi made a small mouthing noise of pain, until he looked up, "R-ryuu?"
"Ryuu?" En repeated, until he looked. "Ryuu!" he said, "It's you!", astonished.
"Thank goodness," Ryuu said, crouching down to his knees, slowly. "I thought I was the only one."
It was where Atsushi noticed Ryuu's phone, pointing, "Ryuu, your phone! Have you tried to call help?"
While this, En-chan's eyes widened, until he slapped his forehead. "My bat!" he swore under his breath, going to the door.
"Yes, but they said that help won't arrive for another two hours."
"Two hours?" Atsushi beckoned, sitting up straight with his palms on the floor.
"Police said that they've got many places to evacuate, and they asked me how it looked outside." Ryuu swallowed. "How does it look outside?"
"Like hell, obviously." En said, looking through the crack he managed to open, as well as seeing the small bundle of the undead near. He faced away. "Atsushi's ankle needs fixing and we can't go anywhere without my bat, which I lost out there."
"Then that's it," Ryuu said, sitting on his backside. "We have to wait for help arrive-" but Ryuu was cut off by the sound of his phone ringing. "Hello?" Ryuu asked into his phone.
En and Atsushi were held by curiosity's chain, with En sitting near the latter.
"Io?!" Ryuu blurted, holding onto his phone. "I'm fine. How about you?"
En and Atsushi leaned closer.
"Listen, Ryuu, where are you?" Ryuu heard his friend ask on the other line.
"I'm in a bathroom on the second floor with Yufuin and Kinugawa-senpais, what about you?"
"I'm going over there." Io said.
"What?! No! Io don't!" Ryuu pleaded. However, the line was dropped. Ryuu put his phone down, awestruck.
"Is Io alright, Ryuu?" Atsushi asked, sounding like a worried parent.
"He said he's coming over here." explained Ryuu.
En-chan stood up. "Damn it, he's gonna get ripped to shreds! If only I had my fuc-" En-chan was cut off by Ryuu.
"Yufuin-senpai, just calm the hell down." Ryuu firmly told him, clenching his fists together. En-chan was hit by the hand of awestruck. Ryuu looked to the side, but then looked back. "You may not like where Io is going through, I don't either, but I don't know how, but it's like he can take care of himself."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Ryuu was right.
In the computer room that was on the bottom floor of the school, a young man was on top of a wide table, watching at least six of the undead circle him. On the floor, seven bodies decorated the white floor with their crimson juices, parts of their bodies either stabbed or slashed off.
Setting his own phone down, Io Naruko let out a smile, as he brandished a katana in front of him. He let out a small chortle, licking his lips like a lion. A shock of insanity sparked in his gray eye.
"You monsters have just messed with the wrong stockbroker."
