The Path of Carnage

Chapter 3: Confrontation

After Saya had settled down the group went into the faculty room and locked the door. Takashi, Hakami and Miyonji barricaded the door so the zombies wouldn't get in Saya washed her face and put on her glasses which made Kohta happy. "You wear glasses.?" he asked in a happy tone she threw her towel at him and glared "Shut up! My contact lenses keep moving around." and she walked away.

Rei walked over to Takashi and Miyonji and handed them water "Thank you." They both said as they took the bottled water. Hakami looked at Shizuka, "Doctor Marikawa where's the car key?" he asked, she continued to look "They are in my purse somewhere." she answered. Saeko sighed "I'm pretty sure that small car you drive is not going to fit all of us." Shiko smiled knowing it was true. Then it occurred to her "What about the Micro bus we use for the clubs away games looks like the keys are on the wall hook." she said. "Hey guys I see the bus!" Kohta exclaimed as he looked out the window and saw the bus parked in the parking lot.

"That's fine but where are we going." Shizuka asked as she looked at Takashi. The boy looked down and then up at everyone. "We're going to make sure that our families are okay. We'll start with the family that lives closes from here, if you're worried about your family, we'll bring them with us, I think Miyonji's place is closer than anyone elses." Miyonji shook his head, "Don't worry about it, my parents left on vacation, I been staying at the house by myself."

Saya raised an eyebrow "What about your little brother Yuka?" she asked this caused everyone except Kohta, Shizuka, Saeko, and Hakami to go wide eyed. Miyonji just put his head down "He's...away also." Takashi wanted to say something but knew it wasn't the right time.

Saeko noticed a small tv with the new on in the corner she quickly turned up the volume trying to hear what the news lady was saying.

"Government has begun to consider the emergency measures of the outbreaks that have been accruing in locations all around the city. It's been feared that over tens of thousand have been victimized in the Satama area so far the governor has already called for the...state of emergency and requested the emergency disaster relief …wait there's a gunshot they're finally using firearms..from what I can see their...no NO!"

The station was then cut off the whole group was in shock from what they just witnessed. Nobody said word a few seconds later the station was brought back up with a women sitting in a chair with papers in her hand.

"There appears to be a problem with our remote. From now on we'll bring you the story from inside the studio the condition outside seems extremely chaotic so stay home unless its absolutely necessary to go outside. We'll bring you more stories as soon as its safe to cover the current situation from the sight."

Takashi punched the table after hearing the announcement "Is that all? Why didn't they tell us anything else?" he sounded distressed. "They're afraid of causing a panic." Shiko said. Rei raised her eyebrow, "A panic?"

"Yeah you idiot, first panic then chaos and chaos causes a disruption of order, and then when order is disrupted...well then you should just hand it all over to the walking corpses." Saya explained.

Once she had finished what she had to say another news cast lady appeared on the T.V screen with sets of papers in her hands.

"This unusual and unprecedented biological phenomenon that spread throughout North America has yet to be put under control. Government authorities have evacuated the white house and will relocate to a command center on board the aircraft carrier 'George Washington'. There are reports that the transfer of power is in preparation for the use of tactical war heads to combat the infestation. We have currently lost contact with Masque, Beijing has been set ablaze, and London has remained in order while in Paris and Rome there have been reports of looting Government official has declared a state of martial law."

The broadcast was cut off once again "So they're everywhere." Miyonji said as he slumped down in a chair his face coated shock. "That's crazy everything was normal when I checked the internet this morning." Kohta added. Hakami looked at him, "That's because it just happened this morning, nobody knew about it" he explained. Rei backed up in fear, "I can't believe this happened all over the world in a matter of a few hours...but they'll stop it right? I mean they have to stop it from spreading. Everything is going to go back to normal soon." Rei said as she grabbed onto Takashi shirt.

"That's not going to happen." Saya stated. Takashi looked at her "Why do you have to be so blunt about it?" He frowned. "This is an epidemic, there's literally nothing we can do." she replied. Shiko sighed "An epidemic?" she asked. Saya nodded "It's the outbreak of infectious disease, the entire world has experienced the same outbreak." Saya said. Miyonji looked at her "So what, it's some type of plague?" he asked. She looked at him and then spoke. "This is exactly like the Spanish flu in 1918 more than six hundred million people got infected and fifty million people died from it, remember how much a panic swine flu caused well square that" she explained and Miyonjis eyes widened.

Shizuka looked at Saya "Not to be disagreeable, but I think this is more like the black death from the 14th century." Shizuka stated. Saya looked out the window "One third of the European population died, you're smarter then you look." Saya said. Hakami looked at them, "This is no time to debate which case it is similar to, what happened in the past happened perhaps we can learn from it." He looked over to Saya and Shizuka "How did the outbreak finally end" he asked. Shizuka put her finger to her lip "well there are many theories, it usually stops when too many humans die. There wouldn't be enough people to spread the disease." she explained.

"But now all the dead people still move and start attacking you." Shiko said as she looked out the window to see a couple zombies moving around. "Are you saying there's no way for this outbreak to stop." Saeko asked, and the room fell silent.

Shizuka frowned and then an idea struck her, "The weathers going to be hot. They might not be able to move if their flesh decomposes and they become skeletons" she said. Saeko looked at her "How long does it take for that to happen?" Shizuka thought for a moment. "In summer some parts of the body can become skeleton in about 20 days but it takes considerably longer than winter."

" A couple months? Well that's not too terribly long." she explained. Saya rolled her eyes " You're kidding, she's not smarter than she looks." Saya said. Miyonji looked at her a brow rose for a moment then back to the floor, "So what are you saying?" he asked.

"Medical logic doesn't apply to those dead corpses that move around and attack humans. Worst case scenario they might never decompose." she said as she looked at him. He still had his head down. She knew this must be killing him knowing that his parents might have already gotten attacked and then there was his brother to think about also. "First thing we find out is if our families are okay. Then we need to find some place safe to hold up for awhile but no matter where we go we're going to need a plan...teams! We need to team up!" Saeko exclaimed as she looked at everyone around her.

Takashi put his hand up which caught everyone's attention. "I'm pretty sure we're all okay with teaming up but before all that we need to make sure these two can work together for awhile. I mean we all know they are not the best of friends." Takashi said as he looked at Hakami and Miyonji. Hakami smirked "As long as he stays out of my way there's no problem." Hakami stated.

Everyone then looked at Miyonji wondering if this was going to lead to a fight but he still had his head down, "With everything that has happened today and everything that is going on in my life, fighting with him is not even on my mind" he said. Rei, Takashi and Shiko had a worried expression on their faces 'I think Miyonji is finally giving up, there's only so much he can take.' Takashi thought to himself.

With that said everyone prepared themselves "Let's try to pick up survivors when ever we can." Saeko said. Takashi nodded, "let's do it." He stated. Rei looked at Takashi "What's the best way out of here?" She asked. Saya shook her head "Sorry to break it to you stupid, But we're going to have to go out the front!" She answered. Miyonji stood up and looked at the group "Fine let's go." He said.

The group then opened the door and seen three zombies walking around. Kohta shot two of them down with his nail gun, then Miyonji walked to the side of the third zombie and took it down without even looking at it. Saya noticed this and knew something was off about him, they were going to need to talk soon. She still couldn't forgive him but she couldn't help but think there was something behind to what happened, there had to be a reason, he wouldn't go this far to protect her if he didn't care. Something happened that he wasn't telling her and she was going to find out.

Making their way to the stairs they stopped and looked around, "Let me make something perfectly clear there's no need for you to engage into a fight unless its necessary, do whatever you can to avoid a fight, you got it?" Saeko informed. Saya crossed her arms, "Remember their sensitive to sound so keep it quiet and they're strong enough to rip through regular doors and once they got a hold of you they're going to tear you to shreds, so be careful." Saya added.

Once she said that a scream could be heard. A boy and two girls could be seen down stairs.

They were surrounded by zombies and with no hesitation the group leaped into action, Rei was the first to land a blow as she stuck her spear through a zombies head. Saeko jumped over her, taking out two zombies with her kendo stick, Kohta shot down two and Miyonji, Takashi and Hakami took down the remaining four.

Finally finished, Takashi looked at the boy, he had Black short hair and blue eyes, "We're getting out of here, do any of you want to come?" he asked, the three of them nodded their heads and they followed the group.

The group was now near the first floor Miyonji looked down the stair railing "Man there's a bunch of them" he said, Saya was right behind him looking as well."From what I can tell the only thing they react to is sound. They can't see us so it's pointless to hide from them." she said.

Takashi looked at her "Well then, why don't you go down there and prove that theory." Saya huffed when she heard that glaring at him. "But even if we keep going through inside the school, once we get attacked we're going to be stuck." Shiko added. Rei looked at her "We have to go through the gate, we don't have any choice" she stated. Saeko looked at the zombies "someone needs to go and prove Takagi's theory, don't suppose anyone of you guys wants to volunteer?" Saeko asked as she looked at Hakami, Miyonji and Takashi. Nobody said anything for a moment until Miyonji spoke, "Fine I'll go." He said. Everyone looked at him "No you stay I'll go." Shiko said. "With what weapon?" he questioned slightly baffled.

Cutting in Saya looked at him "Why do you think it should be you?" she asked. Miyonji looked at her dead in the eyes and then smiled "I don't know, I just think I should be the one. Besides if your theory isn't right and they get me, you'll finally be rid of me..and you can go back to being happy." he said as he turned around preparing himself. Saya for once had a sad look on her face "Sueenji..." she whispered to herself.

Takashi walked towards him and put a hand on his shoulder, "you might not like it but I'm going with you." he said. Rei looked at him, "A-Are you sure about this Takashi?" she asked. He nodded his head "Don't worry we should be fine." he responded.

Once the two walked down the stairs they started walking slowly towards the zombies. Walking past them they didn't even notice them. 'So it's true! They can't see us, well if that's the case.' Miyonji thought as he picked up a sneaker and threw it at a wall. Once it hit all the zombies then started moving towards the wall, Takashi then signaled for the others to come down. Once they got to the front doors and opened them the boy who they just saved knocked his metal pole into the stair railing by accident which echoed through the whole school. This caused the zombies to look in their direction.

Zombies turned and began towards the it was inevitable Takashi yelled out "RUN!" The zombies then started to come faster which made Saya look at him with a glare "Why did you have to open your big mouth? We could have taken the closer ones out." she said not knowing that a zombie was coming behind her, Rei appeared in front of her and struck it with her spear. "The noise would've echoed anyway just start swinging." she said as she tripped a zombie with her spear.

Kohta aimed at a zombie but there were too many for him to just shoot at one. He was getting nervous and they were closing in but Miyonji jumped in front of him and struck one zombie in the head with his kendo stick. He then swung his kendo stick to the side where it sprayed blood on the ground. "Forget talking just run." he said as everyone started to run for their life.

While they were running Hakami hit one Zombie with ease without having to stop running. Saeko was by his side striking each zombie that came in his way. Rei was running beside Takashi hitting each zombie that got in his way, but him being a guy, he also put in work by hitting a few that were coming on the side of him.

The boy that they had just saved stopped so he could hit a few but the zombies grabbed on to him and started biting at him. His girlfriend that he was with him stopped and looked at him. Saya noticed this and shook her head "Just forget him! Once you get bitten it's hopeless." Saya said, but the girl looked at her with tears in her eyes and shook her head, running back to the boy to help.

"Wait a minute! you heard me didn't you? He's not going to make it why are you going back to him?" Saya asked. Shizuka put her hand to her mouth and shook in fear. "I understand...if the world turned into this I rather die with the person that I love." she said. Saya glared at her "Oh shut up doctor bleeding heart-" she started, but she was cut off when Miyonji said "Saya!" while hitting a zombie that was coming for her. She looked at him and huffed as he got in front of her looking out and making sure zombies didn't get near her. "You rude little jerk. How dare you interrupt me while I'm talking!" she yelled. "Shut up! Now is not the time." She looked at him and gasped "What did you just say to me?" she asked in shock, was he serious? He looked at her and smiled "I wasn't trying to interrupt you, you should know better than anyone that I really like your voice." This made her blush. The two stared into each others eyes but the moment was cut short by Saeko, "Nice to see that you two are getting along." When she said this, the two just looked away from each other trying to deny what just happened.

Takashi looked at Shizuka once they got to the bus "Ms. Shizuka the key!" he yelled. She then unlocked the door to the bus, Saeko, Hakami, Miyonji and Takashi guarded the bus while everyone got on. Miyonji had three zombies on him, one grabbed his kendo stick so he kicked the second one coming towards him and used both his hands to grab his kendo stick and swing the first zombie into the third one. Saeko looked at Takashi who had bashed another zombies head in with his bat, "Let's go, everyone is on the bus." she said he smirked and pointed to the bus "You go, ladies first." he said. As soon as they all got on the bus seven people were running towards them.

Takashi looked at a man with Black short hair he was wearing glasses and black suit with white stripes. "Who's that?" he asked. Shiko looked at the man; "That's Mr. Shido of class 3A." she said, this made Rei's eyes go wide he was the one person she despised. Shizuka then looked back "We can go now!" she called out. Takashi looked back "Wait a little longer!" he responded.

She then looked at the zombies approaching "They're in front of us, anymore and we won't be able to drive through here." she yelled out, Takashi sighed. "Then run them down." he stated. Saya rolled her eyes "If doctor boobs tries to drive over that many, we'll flip the bus." Saya informed. Rei then grabbed Takashi.

"We don't have to save him." this shocked Takashi was she serious on what she was saying. He turned to look at her. "Jesus! What do you mean we don't have to save him?!" he asked she got closer to his face "We don't have to save him we should just leave him here to die!" she yelled out.

While Shido and the others ran to the bus a boy slipped and fell he tried to get up but his leg was sprained, "Please Mr. Shido help." He pleaded but Shido just smiled. "Poor boy...how tragic..well I guess that's it for you then." he said as he then kicked the boy hard in his face. The sound that the boy made when he hit the ground lead the zombies to him this allowed Shido to get to the bus.

Once he got on he closed the door "Let's go!" Takashi exclaimed, Shizuka stepped on the gas and began to drive off "To the gate." Saya yelled. Shizuka nodded as she ran over at least 10 zombies and slammed through the gate they were then headed down the road away from the school.

Everyone relaxed and took their seats Miyonji sat in a window seat on the right side of the bus. Saya sat next to him, Kohta sat in a seat in front of them he sat by himself. Rei sat in a window seat on the left side of the bus across from Miyonji and Saya. Takashi sat next to her, Hakami sat in a window seat behind Miyonji and Saya, Saeko sat next to him. Shiko sat in the front seat behind Shizuka and Shido and his group sat in the back.

"I can't believe we did it." Takashi said. Miyonji looked at him and nodded. Shido stood up and walked towards Saeko "Thank god we did... I take it you have been appointed leader." he asked Saeko who was cleaning her kendo stick. She looked at him, "There's no such thing, we just work together in order to live that's all." she answered. Hakami just shook his head and continued to look out the window, "That's not good. In order to survive we definitely need a leader, a leader who bares everything with valor, with confidence." he stated. Rei looked at Takashi and whispered, "You'll regret this, I guarantee you'll regret that you helped him" she said. He looked at her in shock but he was starting to think that she was right.

After thirty minutes of driving they saw the city it was quiet nobody was in sight. It looked deserted, it would give you the chills just looking at it. Just before Saya could say something an aggressive young man with dyed hair stood up, "Shit, I told you it's only dangerous if we keep going, first of all why do we have to go with Kumoro and the others, you guys are the ones who decided to go back to the city. Maybe we should have just looked for a safe place inside the school, if you asked me we were better off where we were." The boy known as Tsunoda said. His friend with short black hair named Kurokami looked at him, "He's right, I kind of agree with Tsunoda, we should barricade ourselves-" He was going to continue but was stopped by Shizuka who slammed on the breaks. "Ok you all that's enough! I can't focus on the driving with all of you yelling" Shizuka said. Tsunoda looked at her "Yeah...whatever." he replied. Saeko then spoke up "How about you tell me what you want to do." she stated as he looked at her and grunted.

Standing up the boy pointed at Takashi "I just can't stand this guy...I hate him." he said. Miyonji then slowly began to rise from his seat but Saya put her hand in front of him, signaling him to stay down. "Why..what the hell did I ever do to you? I don't even know you." Takashi said. Tsunoda growled "You know" he said as he began to run towards Takashi. Before he could make it Saya had released Miyonji which allowed him to grab Tsunado by his collar and slam on to the floor which he would then get on top of him and grip his neck with one hand.

"Now you listen to me...if you even think of putting your hands on Takashi it'll be the last thing you'll ever do! You see my friend Rei here...she doesn't like when people mess with Takashi, I'm pretty sure if I didn't get to you she would have, and another thing." he paused for a moment tightening his grip on Tsunados neck making it hard for him to breathe. "What the hell do you know about hate! I'm pretty sure if someone hated you, you wouldn't like it very much would you? Maybe I should show you what hate really is and take your life!" He said as he squeezed harder. Tsunados face grew pale he was on the verge of passing out.

"Sueenji that's enough!"

Everyone turned to see Saya looking at Miyonji, "Let him go he's not worth it" she said as she watched Miyonji slowly loosen his grip. He let go and quickly sent a swift jab to Tsunoda's jaw making him spit on the floor. Miyonji then walked back to his seat near Saya. Rei looked at Tsunoda on the floor, "The asshole got what he deserved." she said before hearing the clapping sounds of Shido. "Bravo..I'm impressed, I commend both of you, outstanding teamwork" he said. Miyonji just gave him a glare and looked out the window not really wanting to give the guy attention. "At any rate a conflict like that only proves my point. We need a leader, we do! Certainly neither of you want such a difficult responsibility on your shoulders." Shido stated cockily.

Saya looked at him and fixed her glasses, "So you're going to run for the position then?" she asked. He looked at Saya and smiled "I'm a teacher Ms. Takagi and very mature, all of you are barley in your teens. That alone makes it very clear who is more qualified for such a roll I have experience! Why just moments ago I saved all of these brave students, what do you say guys?" once he said that, the students from his group started clapping. Miyonji just muttered "His slaves." this earned him a nudge by Saya.

"There, it's been decided, the majority has seem to make the choice quite clear.. yes?" Shido asked as he looked at Saya and Rei. Rei then opened the door and jumped off the bus in anger. Takashi looked at her "Rei!" he called out. She shook her head, "No way! I won't do it, I'm not staying here with him." she stated. Takashi looked at her, "Get back on the bus." he said in a stern tone. Shido sighed and smirked, "well there's nothing I can do if you don't want to act in accordance with all of us." he said. Takashi looked at him, "What us? What are you talking about?" after he asked that, he ran off the bus after Rei, Saya was about to stand up but Miyonji grabbed her, "Sueenji" she said. He shook his head, "They need to be alone, let them talk." she thought about for a minute and then nodded her head and sat back down.

"Wait! get back on the bus when we get to the city we'll get off..I don't want you to leave" he said. She turned and looked at him, "That's why I told you, you'd regret this" Takashi heard her words and shook his head, "No we'll regret this together." he said until he heard the sound of another bus coming. The bus was full of zombies and the bus driver was dead but his foot was still on the gas pedal. The bus then hit a car and flipped over heading towards Takashi and Rei. They both jumped out of the way avoiding a hit but the bus blocked their way back to the Micro bus.

They were under a car tunnel, Miyonji and Saeko got off the bus, "Takashi, you guys okay?" Miyonji asked as flaming zombies were coming towards him and Saeko. But after a few steps they began to fall to the ground. "The police station! Meet up at the east police station!" Takashi called out. Saeko nodded, "What time?" she asked, "7'o'clock, if not today then tomorrow same time!" after he said that Miyonji and Saeko got back on the bus. "Looks like we're not taking this free way anymore" Saeko said as she and Miyonji got back in their seats. Shizuka then turned the bus around "Okay, I'll take another route" she said as they drove off.

Once Rei and Takashi made it out the tunnel, they looked to see which way they were going to go next. But before Takashi could speak a zombie with a Motorcycle helmet on jumped on him and grabbed him by his neck.

Takashi tried to fight him off holding him back with his hand the zombie tried to bite him but the helmet was blocking it's way. Rei then struck the zombie from behind with a cinder block killing it with one blow. Once she put the stone down and helped Takashi up they started to walk towards the city, "Are we really going to walk to the city?" she asked. He smirked, "if there's no other way...wait a minute he was wearing a helmet." Takashi and Rei then found a Motorcycle down the street. Takashi picked it up and turned it on, getting it ready. Rei looked at him "Do you even have a license?" she asked. He smirked "Getting a ticket is the least of our problems… what are you waiting for, get on." he said as the two got on the bike and drove off towards the city hoping to meet up with the others.

Rei wrapped her arms around Takashi's waist and enjoyed the ride while it lasted. Their whole life would never be the same...
