Author's Note:

I do not own High school of The Dead

"That could be it, but they could also be afraid of causing panic." Takagi included.

"Even now?" Miyamoto questioned.

"Because of what happened now!" Takagi answered, aggravated. "Fear leads to chaos, chaos leads to anarchy."

"The government can't control a bunch of people who are panicking and at the same time, fight a bunch of undead." Shizuka added.

"Exactly." Takagi approved.

The T.V then showed another news reporter stating that the president has been transported into another area, they've lost contact with Moscow, Beijing was set ablaze, London, by an incredible feat, maintained order, and somewhere around Rome there were reports of looting.

"The government has declared a state of…" before the news reporter could finish her sentence, the T.V went to static. When it did I took the T.V remote Busujima left on the desk she got it from, aimed it at the hanging T.V, and turned it off.

Chapter 3: The Escape

"So, they're everywhere." Takashi said, shocked "That's crazy."

"It all seemed to happen so fast though. Everybody was fine when we drove to school" Shizu added.

"And this happened all over the world in a matter of few hours." Miyamoto timidly said, taking a few steps back to Takashi, grabbing on to his sleeve.

"But they'll stop it, right? I mean they have to stop it from spreading I mean, everything is going back to normal soon." said optimistic Miyamoto.

"Sorry to break it to you, but this already happened around the world. It would be impossible to kill that many zombies, with only a little amount of humans." Shizu paused in his train of thought, "Unless they manage to nuke the whole place, but let's hope that don't happen."

"This is a pandemic!" Takagi exclaimed, "There's nothing we could do."

"So this is exactly like an epidemic." Yasumi added "Just like the swine flu. It killed thousands of people in the world in days."

"Not to be disagreeable, but this is more like the 'Black Death' in the fourteenth century." The nurse proposed.

"One- third of the European population died; you're smarter than you look." Takagi sarcastically said.

"Started by a flea giving the plague to the rat, then it passed it on to thousand english people there from 1348 to 1350. One of the worse pandemics in history, that's a perfect example of what's happening right now." Yasumi explained giving us a brief history of what happened.

"You're smarter than you look too, Yasumi." Takagi also sarcastically complimented Yasumi. The only response he gave was just a shrug, then crossed his arms.

"How did the outbreak finally end?" Takashi asked.

"Well, there are many theories." Marikawa pondered.

"One being a brown rat that killed it. Maybe it had a resistance to it." Yasumi suggested.

"I call the resistance to these zombies, a weapon," Shizuka said, pulling down the blindfolds of the window staring down at the walking dead, "These things would bite back at you anyway."

"So is there no reason for this outbreak to stop?" asked Busujima.

"The weather's going to be hot," Mirakawa pointed out, "they might not be able to move their flesh decomposes and become skeletons."

"That would take about 2 weeks at the most for them to turn into bones, 40 to 50 years for it for the skeleton bones to dry and brittle too. Now multiply that to the millions of zombies in this world," Yasumi explained, "That's like, infinity times five."

"Medical logic doesn't apply to those dead corpses that move around and attack humans." Takagi opposed.

"Then the bodies won't decompose at all." I finished.

"Well let's not worry about this now; we need to go to see if our families are okay, and then find a place to settle down." I directed, changing the subject, "Our first priority is to get to the bus and drive to the town."

"Let's make sure we always have a plan at hand at all times then." Shizu recommended.

"Let's get ready to move out." I commanded.

We all went to get our weapons. Takashi and I got our bats we both left in the corner, Shizu picked up his slightly bent, blood rusted 9-iron, Yasumi took out his two Beretta's, Miyamoto spun her broomstick that has the tip on the end of it, Kohta got his modded nailgun, and Busujima took out her black samurai sword, well not exactly a sword, I don't know what you call it. It just looks like a sword.

We all piled up to the door that we un-barricaded, me being in the front, Shizuka being on my left and Yasumi on my right readying their weapons.

"Any proposals before we leave?" I asked

"Let's pick up any survivor's on the way." Busujima said.

"What's the best way out of here?" Miyamoto asked.

"Sorry stupid, but the only way were going to get out of here is the front." Takagi said.

"Let's try not to waste our strength on any undead we don't need to kill." Shizu suggested.

"How 'bout a potty break?" Yasumi sarcastically asked.

"Hold it." I bluntly respond.

I took a deep breath to try to slow down the fast beating of my heart.

"Let's try to hurry." I commanded.

I slid the door open as two zombies near the front turned to us. I ran up to one as Shizuka ran to the other and hammered them down. We continued to beat and shoot zombies down in our way until we got to the door.

School yard

I leaned on a railing near the door we came out of with Shizu and Yasumi beside me, and everybody else behind us, also looking over the railing that was looking down on the zombies we could possibly face next.

"Let's try to sneak our way past them like how we did when we went to the gym." Shizu suggested.

"Remember, they're sensitive to sound, so Yasumi, try not to use those guns too often." Takagi commanded.

"Ah shucks! 'Cause I really wanted to play my dubstep right now." Yasumi sarcastically said.

"Less talking, more walking. Let's go." I demanded.

"AHH!" a female scream caught all of our attention. I could see a small group of survivors, three men and two girls, getting cornered on a staircase.

"Kohta stay up here and get a clear good shot of those zombies, and inform us if you see anything. Shizuka, stay here and protect him in case a zombie comes up from behind." I commanded. They did as they were told and Kohta aimed his gun over the safety rail as Shizuka stayed near him with his guard up. Kohta took a shot of a zombie that was in front of a male student that was stupid enough to not hit the damn zombie with the bat he was holding.

Busujima took a step on the railing looking over the survivors, then soared in the air and stroke one of the zombies when she landed, making blood splash in the ari. Takashi and I went down the stairs that lead down to the survivors, striking down a zombie that collided with the wall painting it with blood and brain remains. Yasami followed behind sitting on the stair railing and sliding down, holding his gun like a hammer, hammering every zombie with the butt of his gun that came his way.

"A bloody slide, it is." Yasumi said as he zipped pass us.

Miyamoto took a different route to the survivors, going up stairs. She spear-stabbed a zombie in the heart and kicking it down the stairs. Busujima, Takashi and I took down the three remaining zombies that were walking towards them from behind. They fell to the ground, and the saved survivors sighed in relief.

"Thank you." A female student said.

"Sh! Keep it down." Miyamoto said, coming up the stairs towards the survivors.

"Did anyone of you get bitten?" I questioned. The five survivors looked at each other and shook their heads.

"No, no one." A female student replied as she shook he head.

"It looks okay," Miyamoto said, relieved "We'll be alright."

"We found a way to escape the school. Want to come with us?" I asked, walking down the stairs.

"Sure." The same female student answered.

Locker room

We all walked down stairs, looking over the railing, and stared at the portion of zombies wondering around.

"That's a lot of them." Takashi said.

"From what I can tell, they can only react to sounds. They can't see us so it's pointless to hide." Takagi indicated.

"Then why don't you go down there?" Yasumi said. Takagi just huffed at him and looked away.

"Even though we keep going through the school, when we encounter them, we'll get stuck." Busujima said.

"We have to go through the front gate, we don't have a choice." Miyamoto prompt.

"I'll go see if Takagi's theory is correct." Shizuka stepped down. Before he could step down the last step, I grabbed him, stopping his tracks.

"No! You can't!" I whispered softly. "Let me go!"

"No Riida, I'll do it." Shizu said. I took moments to think about it. I didn't want him to die.

He's the only family I have left.

"I can do this!" Shizuka stated.

But I trust him.

"Be careful." I said under my breath, letting go of Shinzuka.

When he stepped down I waved to Kohta,

"Your nailgun is silent enough, be ready to fire if Takagi's theory is wrong." I commanded. Kohta nodded his head and aimed his gun over the stair rail.

Shizu walked slowly to the middle of the room where the zombies were roaming. When he did, I can feel my heart beat faster and faster. Maybe he's afraid as much as I am. I watched the zombies that were near him and readied my bat as I took one step down the stairs.

Please don't see.

I watched as a zombie walk towards him, it took slow intimidating steps towards him. I could just feel my heart beating through my chest, and my head pounding as fast as my heart. The zombie opened his mouth revealing saliva and rotting teeth, and I almost lifted my hand and gestured Kohta to fire, until it walk passed him and continue to roam around the room. Sweet sugar honey ice tea that almost gave me a heart attack.

I think that proves that they really can't see Shizuka.

Swiftly, Shizu picks a nearby bloody shoe by his feet, and threw it at the left direction, at the lockers, leading them away from us. He gestured us to come and slowly pushed opened the two doors. We all followed along as Yasumi and I held open the second door beside him watching everybody exiting the room.

"Man you scared the shit out of me!" I whispered softly, hoping the zombies won't hear me.

"You have no idea." He said, shaking his head.

Suddenly, while a male student we saved walked down the stairs, his weapon clinked against the stair railing. It's ringing sound seemed like it would've echoed throughout the whole school. Everybody gasped and looked back at the culprit who made the noise. We were left in dead silence for a few seconds, waiting for the echoing of the chime to cease.

"RUN!" I yelled breaking the silence, and everybody started to do so. I gestured for the student that was in the locker room to get his ass over here now. He ran as fast as he can and Shizuka and I closed the door behind him when he got out, blocking out the route of the zombie in the locker room to get to us.

"Why did you have to open your big mouth!" Takagi scolded me "We could've made it here just by taking down the ones close by if you hadn't yelled!"

"Did you even hear that! That could've echoed through the entire school. Now stop arguing and start RUNNING!" I commanded, putting great emphasis in "Running".

"You can't tell me what and what not to do!" Takagi stubbornly said, crossing her arms.

When she did, a zombie appeared behind her, and Yasumi shot its head before Takagi had the time to scream.

"Yeah I just made loud noise that might attract more zombies to us, to save your ass," Yasumi said shooting another zombie that was walking in front of him splattering blood by the nearby pillar, "Now RUN!"

Yasumi pushed Takagi repeatedly running as I followed behind them. We all ran to the crossway that had a stair case at the left that goes down and leads to the front gate. Kohta was in front of the zombies aiming his nailgun choosing between targets to shoot, couldn't figure out what zombie to shoot.

"They're too many!" He exclaimed

Shizuka, Takshi and I ran passed him and Yasumi stood beside him, shooting both of his guns that connected with most of the zombies heads as me, Shizuka, and Takashi beat down the rest of the zombies. We all at once swung our weapons near the ground to get the blood off of our weapons, and onto the ground.

"For the last time," I exclaimed, "stop talking and JUST KEEP RUNNING!"

Bus Parking Lot

Takashi and I knocked down two zombies in our way and kept running towards the one bus that was parked in the middle. I jumped in front of a zombie and swung my bat at it, making it fly across the parking lot and blood streaking across the street and the air. Shizuka ran past us and tripped a zombie, and then Yasumi ran up to the zombie he tripped and kicked it while it was in mid-air towards the other incoming zombies. Miyamoto stabbed one zombie in the chest and continued to run into other zombies, making it look like she was making a human shish kabob. Then she spun around and threw them off her broomstick and against the fence on our right.

I noticed one of the male students with a bat and a towel around his shoulder got overwhelmed and was getting torn apart, gut by gut with blood spilling everywhere by the undead. One of the girls from the group we saved called out his name, but I grabbed her sleeve before she could run to him.

"I'm sorry, but he's done for," I said as comforting as I can in the situation we were in, "We have to go now!"

"Naomi! AH!" He called out, but was interrupted by the pain of a zombie taking a bite off of him. I notice tears filling up and dripping from her eyes and she shook her head a few times.

"NO!" She yelled, getting off my grip and running towards her doomed friend.

"Wait a minute! You heard him didn't you! He's not going to make it, why are you going back to him?" Takagi questioned as the female student continued running to the group of zombies piling up on the male student.

"It's too late to stop her now! We have to keep going!" I said, pointing to the bus.

"I understand…" Marikawa took a few steps back after witnessing the scene, "If the entire world turned into this, I'd rather die with the person I love."

"Oh shut up doctor boo- Ah!" Takagi said when we stopped our tracks to get her, but was interrupted by a gunshot that killed a zombie walking to her.

"Look out!" Yasumi said followed by the sound of more shooting.

"What?" Takagi gasped.

"Looks like you need these guns more than I do." Yasumi said sarcastically, reloading his guns.

"You rude otaku!" Takagi exclaimed "Why would you interrupt me while I'm talking!"

"Hey! For the last, god forsaken, fucking time, WE. NEED. TO. LEAVE. NOW!" I finally shouted pointing at the bus. We all ran to the bus, taking down the zombies that were in the nearby zone of the bus.

"Hurry, the keys!" I commanded Marikawa, taking down the zombie that was in front of her.

We all gathered up to the door of the bus and Marikawa unlocked it, and then the bus filled in with people. Yasumi, Shizuka, and I were outside protecting the bus as everybody was struggling to get inside.

"Any day now guys!" Yasumi said, hitting a zombie in the head with the butt of his gun, leaving more traces of blood on it.

I swung the aluminum bat at a zombie in front of me, sending it soaring through the air and landed a spinning side-kick on the zombie on the left of me. Then one tried to grab me from behind, but when it did, I judo flipped it on the ground in front of me and stomped its face in, splattering blood, brain, and eye balls on the ground near the zombies head.

"Not today!" I exclaimed, pointing at it.

Shizuka strikes a zombie that was in front of me, and pushed it towards me. When he did, I roundhouse kicked it to the right side, making it fall, and stomped on its face, leaving the results of the last zombie I killed. Shizuka did a rear kick on a zombie coming up behind him, and at the same time, tripping a zombie and stabbing its face with the 9-iron while it was in mid-air. The impact of the stab went all the way through the zombie's skull. When Shizuka took it out of the skull, he swung his bloody golf club towards the ground leaving a streak of blood on the side.

"Whoa ho!" Yasumi said, spinning his guns and stopped with his arms cross pointing at two zombies. He shot both of them in the head once, jumps at the two zombies, and kicks both of them at the same time. He punches another zombie that was on the right of him, thrust punch, roundhouse, elbow and preformed an uppercut with his gun and stopped, pointing the gun at its chin.

"You're fucked." He hissed, and then pulled the trigger. The shot, made blood came out of the zombies head, like a fountain. Yasumi just left his arm up in victory and the zombie fell to the ground like a statue.

We stepped back at in front of the bus door, looking at the other distant zombies coming our way.

"Let's go inside of the bus." I commanded.

"Ladies first." Yasumi smirked.

"Haha..Cute." Shizuka sarcastically said. We all stepped inside the bus, me first, Shizuka second, and Yasumi last. When Yasumi finally stepped into the bus I got ready to slide the bus door shut, what stopped me was the sight of another group of survivors running to us.

"We can go now!" Mirakawa said.

"Wait!" I lifted my hand to Mirakawa to not start the bus.

"Who's that?" Takashi said, looking over my shoulder. I waved my hand to the group gesturing to hurry up.

"It's Mr. Shido, from class 3A." Busujima said, with a scowl.

"They're in front of us. Anymore and we won't be able to drive through here." Said Mirakawa.

"Then run over them." I said, still gesturing to the survivors.

"If doctor boobs tries to run them down, the bus will flip over." Takagi opposed.

I tried to go outside and kill the undead that was nearing the door, but Miyamoto grabbed onto my arm and shoulder, turning me around to meet the sight of her face.

"We don't have to save him!" She exclaimed, cruelly.

"I thought we agreed to get any survivors on the way!" I retorted.

"We don't have to help him," she stepped forward towards me, "Just leave him here to die!"

I shook my head and stepped aside for the other students that rushed inside the bus. After they did, I stepped towards the door, holding the handle, and scanned for any more students that were trying to get in. I saw a teacher with glasses, who I believe to be Mr. Shido, stomped on a student's face that was on the ground, and walked away from the crying student, leaving him for dead.

That gave me enough proof to not let him inside the bus, but before I had time to react he already entered the bus. I slid the bus door close when he walked in.

Why the hell did I let him in?

"Now you can go!" I acknowledged to Mirakawa, taking the first seat on the left, next to Yasami and Shizuka.

"Hang on!" She said, stepping on the gas. As she drove, we were tossed around a little by the bus.

"To the gate!" Miyamoto reminded.

"I know!" The doctor replied. When she did, she floored it and ran over many of zombies that were in the way, maybe even denting the front of the bus and leaving it with blood splatters.

The bus went airborne when the bus crashed through the gate.

"FREEDOM!" Yasumi cheered, standing up from his seat and put his fist in the air as the bus landed back down making a drift that almost sent Yasumi flying across the bus. I was able to take his sleeve and tug him back onto the bus seat.

"We did it." I sighed in relief.

"Thank god we did," Shido walked across the bus.

"I take it you have been appointed leader?" He asked Busujima who was cleaning her sword.

"We all just work together. There's no leader." Busujima answered.

"That's not good," He disappointingly said, "In order to survive we need a leader…"

"A leader who bears everything…" He looked around the room at all of us that were glaring back at him.

"With valor, with confidence." He explained.

"You'll regret this." Miyamoto said, looking over the side of her seat at me.

"I guarantee you'll regret helping him." She growled, glaring at me, as I stared back at her. From what I've witnessed,

I think I will regret this.

"Hey look, the city!" Shizuka pointed through the window.

As we drove out of the tunnel, it revealed many buildings that were smoking, polluting the air. There were many buildings that stop at the ocean with many boats that stopped in the middle of the ocean and burning, with the sun setting, coloring the sky orange. The city was quiet, and zombie infested. I wonder if there were any more survivors left, or if our families are left.

Many minutes have passed since we left the overview sight of the city, and we passed a store, running over one zombie while at it, and I could've sworn I saw a truck exited there.

"Shit…" an orange haired student hissed and stood from his seat, "Like I said, it's only dangerous if we only keep going!"

"First of all, why do we have to go with Komura and the others!" he exclaimed. All of us started to glare at the whining student, except of Mirakawa who was trying to focus on driving.

"Maybe, we should've find a safe place inside the school!" he complained. "If you asked me, I think we were better off where we were.

"There's no safe place in the school." Shizuka responded with his arms crossed, "That's why we even left in the first place."

Mirakawa couldn't focus anymore longer, and she stepped on the brake, almost making the student fall. She unbuckled her seatbelt and turned to the student with her big rack hanging down.

"Okay all of you! That's enough! I can't focus driving with all of this yelling!" She exclaimed along with her hanging jugs that swung side to side.

"Yeah…Whatever." He sighed. I couldn't blame the guy for thinking of a retort. She was right, and her big racks just distracted all of us guys to even think of what doing next. I shook the feeling off. I elbowed Yasumi who was sitting next to me and his eyes was just sparkling with delight.

"Huh? What?" He said, coming back to his senses.

"How about you tell me what you wanna do." Busujima said with arms crossed.

"I just can't stand this guy!" He pointed to Takashi. "I hate him!"

"Oh no…" I whispered, standing up and gesturing Yasumi to holster his handguns.

"What the hell did I ever do to you? I don't even know you." Takashi growled standing from his seat.

"You know!" He exclaimed and started to run toward Takashi. I push Takashi to the right, and strike my heel palm on the aggravated student's chest, making him step back gasping for air.

"Are you all crazy having conflicts at a time like this?" I questioned, putting my arm down. After the scene, Shido clapped his hands in astonishment.

"Bravo, bravo, simply outstanding teamwork." He complimented, walking towards me.

"I'm impressed," He said leaning on one of the seats Takagi and Kohta sat on, "I commend both of you."

"In any rate, a conflict like that only proves my point," He said "We need a leader."

"Surely you don't want a burden of this responsibility, on your shoulders." He mockingly said leaning towards me, smirking. I said nothing, but only glared at him through his triangular shaped eyeglasses.

"So you're going to run for the position then?" Takagi sarcastically said.

"I'm a teacher ," Shido leaned down to Takagi who only turned her face away from him, "And while, I'm mature, all of you are barely in your teens."

Barely in my teens? I'm freaking seventeen years old.

"That alone makes it very clear who's qualified to assume such a role." He puts both of his hands on his chest.

"I have experience!" He claimed turning to the back row of the survivors we saved.

"Why just moments ago I saved all of these brave students." He gestured towards them with an open hand and another hand being on his chest.

"What do you say guys?" He asked them.

With that stated, two female students stood up from their seat clapping, as the other students from the back side did the same. Shido simply bowed to them.

"There, you see?" He asked turning around to me, with his arms out.

"The majority of the group has made it quite clear, yes?" he mockingly stated.

"No!" I yelled at him making the students cease their clapping, "You're not a leader; you are a cold hearted murderer!"

"And as long as that is true, I'm not staying in the same bus as you." I crossed my arms.

"Me too!" Shizuka stood up.

"Count me in!" Yasumi also stood up.

Shido glared at me with his snake shaped eyes.

"Then let me show you to the exit." He hissed.


"AH!" I grunted as I hit the ground when I was kicked out of the bus.

"Gh! Dammit!" Shizuka groaned as he arched and held his back when he hit the ground. I crawled towards him as I heard his groan.

"You alright?" I asked, holding out a hand.

"I'm fine." He said, grabbing hold onto my hand as I pulled him up to his feet.

"Hey! Watch the- AH!" Yasumi grunted, but me and Shizu caught Yasami in the air in time before he could land on the ground.

"Asshole!" He yelled. We both got him to his feet and I dusted his shirt off.

Miyamoto jumped out of the bus door and followed after us.

"Are you three okay?" She asked, concerned.

"Yeah. You were right about him." I replied.

"Rei!" Takashi called out.

"No I won't do it!" She turned to Takashi, "I'm going with Riida. I'm not staying here with HIM!"

Takashi ran out of the bus after Miyamoto.

"Komura!" Takagi called after him.

"Wait!" He grabbed onto Miyamoto's wrist.

I turned my head to the highway that leaded into the tunnel behind us. There was a bus approaching us at least more than 75 miles per hour. It then crashed on an nearby car and it lifted it off the ground, and watched it as it slowly crashed down to the ground.

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm going." Yasumi said, walking into the tunnel. I gestured Shizuka, Takashi, and Miyamoto to run into the tunnel. As we did, the bus came tumbling down towards us and blocked the way we entered. The impact made our area shake, making us all trip. I stood up and watched Yasumi walking away from the scene with the bus that was engulfed in flames behind him.

"AHAHAHAHA!" Yasumi manically laughed with his arms out until he got interrupted by debris that fell right next to him.

"Oh shit!" He panicked and ran towards us. I ran to the side of the flaming bus that had a little opening, revealing the other side of the tunnel.

"Riida!" Busujima called.

"Meet up at the East Police Station!" I called out looking out of the opening.

"Meet up there at seven o' clock!" Shizuka finally said until more debris covered up the opening.

When I turned around, a zombie engulfed with flames fell to the ground dead. Then I heard a spark from the car go off.

"IT'S GONNA BLOW!" I yelled and pointed to the end of the tunnel. We all started to run as fast as we could when the bus finally combusted and the explosion followed after us.

Once we exited the tunnel, we stopped running when we got to nearby flight of stairs that go up. I turned around and watch the scene of the flaming tunnel. Yasami, with his quick reflexes, took out both of his guns and shot two zombies with motorcycle helmets and their dead bodies fell on top of me and Takashi.

I pushed the corpse off of my body and got up, dusting off my tank top.

"I found some keys." Shizuka stood up hanging two keys from his fingers, "I searched the dead corpses after Yasumi shot them."

"There should be motorcycles nearby then." I said.

Miyamoto helped Takashi up and we all walked up the stairs, and down the highway. Yasumi and I had Takashi's arms over our shoulder's helping him walk.

"So, where are these motorcycles…?" Takashi said, then on the side of the grass was a tipped over motorcycle, and on the middle of the road that lead to the city was another motorcycle with a small sidecar on the side that could fit a small child.

I took Takashi's arm off of my shoulders and stood up the motorcycle that was on the grass, then dragged it and place it next to the other motorcycle with the sidecar.

"Shizu, the keys." I held out my hand as Shizu passed two of the keys.

I passed one of the keys to Takashi and walked to the motorcycle with the side car.

"Looks like we can fit three people on this one." Shizuka said with him and Yasumi standing beside me.

"I'll drive it." I said.

"But who's going on the sidecar?" Shizuka questioned. We both stared at eachother for a second then looked at Yasumi with a smirk.

"No…" He shook his head. We both nodded our heads at the same time.

"Aw no really? You're going to down grade me to this?" He said, pointing at the side car.


Apparently the motorcycle works, and me and Takashi were driving down the highway. I felt the breeze going through my tank top, my arms, and my face. I wish I didn't take off my school uniform shirt.

Takashi was driving with Miyamoto sitting behind him, holding onto him as I drove beside him with Shizuka behind me, and Yasumi that was able to fit on the sidecar, with his arms crossed, not amused.

"How are you guys holding up!" I yelled, trying to raise my voice over the loud engine.

"Great!" Miyamoto joyfully replied.

"Awesome!" Takashi cheerfully said.

"How about you Yasumi?" Shizuka asked.

"Oh, I'm just peachy! I think I've finally lost blood circulation going into my legs!" Yasumi sarcastically cheered.

We all laughed had a good laugh, instead of Yasumi, and we all continued to drive down the highway towards the bridge.
