Chapter 4

As Hayate and Rei made through the infected horde in sync with each other's attack, their aim was to find any survivors and leave school grounds.

"Rei aim for the head, heart or slice them apart. That's how you kill them."Hayate told while he is still slicing through the infected.

"Got it?" Rei responded as she kills one. They make their way through the hallway until they hear sword slicing through flesh.

"Hayate?" Rei said look up him hoping that she wasn't the only one who hearing that right now

"yeah I hear it too, come on let's go." he said as their ran towards the sounds of a katana cutting through meat. Hataye turns the corner to see Saeko and together surrounded by dead infected.

"Hey. Saeko." Hayate said calling out her name grabbing the attention of both and Saeko.

"Oh. Hayate, Rei it's so good to see that you're alive." Saeko said relieved to see that the two alright.

"Oh thank goodness you two are still alive." said hugging Hayate out of pure joy.

"likewise." Hayate said backing from 's hug.

(let go back to saya and mason)

"Hey Saya what are you doing?" Mason asked her trying to figure the purpose of why she is watering towels. I mean why does she need to do that, it's almost she trying to testing a theory #sarcasm (A/N:and yes I did just do that)

"Shut up and watch blondie" Saya tells Mason as she threw the wet towel at the infected but to no response, she tries again but this time she throws the towel at locker and this time the infected responded and it walked to the lockers, pushing its face against the locker door and continued walking into it.

"You see that, they're just like zombies they only react to the sound and are completely blind." Saya said to Mason.

"well what about heat? " Mason asked Saya curious about what would happen.

"I'm sure we'll plenty of opportunities to try that out, but for now let move. " Saya said to Mason as they started to another area.

"wait, are we going outside?" Mason asks saya because he doesn't like aimless running.

"well yeah, we definitely not staying here that's for damn sure." saya ready to move.

"but my feet are starting to hurt." Mason said looking away from saya which stop and look at him with a stern look. Oh shit here it comes.

"And that's why you're so weak, lighten up on the walmart doughnuts start working outstart ut."saya said annoyed with mason's whining which help only to alert infected to their area.

"Come on we gotta go." saya said to mason before grabbing his hand and started running to the facility room.

(change back to hayate and rei meeting up with saeko and olivia)

"I can't tell you how good it is to see some similar faces that are not walking corpses." Rei said to them with joy in her voice.

"So have you encountered any casualties along the way?" Hayate asked Saeko and changing the topic. Not because he didn't enjoy this moment he did but he wanted to make sure that they were okay.

"Well I had to kill a student before he turned completely." Saeko said to Hayate who was unfazed by what she did.

"Was that student the only casualty?" Hayate asked Saeko in a tone filled with sadness.

"Fortunately yes" Saeko responded to him understanding why he took this tone and it not that she didn't feel remorse it's just that there was not no point to cry anymore.

"Speaking of which where's Hen?" asks Hayate and Rei unaware of what happened to him and the two only looked down, face in sorrow.

"Gen's dead." Hayate answered with sorrow in his voice. The news shocked both Saeko and Ms. Scarlett.

"Oh. I-I'm sorry I-I-I didn't mean to." said to them feeling bad for the subject up.

"It's okay, it had to be done." hayate said to her accepting what happened.

"anyway, what's the plan now?" Saeko asks Hayate changing the topic again. Try to get out of this downer mood.

"Right. The plan so far is to find any survivors and head to the facility room and see how far this thing has spread." Hayate answering Saeko getting his head out of the mud only to hearing gunshots and that sound Hayate a sense of joy.

"I know that gunshot anywhere." Hayate said wearing a smile across his face. Because he knows who is likely shooting.

"And it came from the facility room" saeko added.

"Come on, let go" hayate told the group as he started running towards the source and they followed behind him.

(back to saya and mason)

Mason shot one infected in the head as they made their way through the parasites infested hallway.

"If you keep shooting them how will we learn about them?" Saya asked Mason being very irritated at that situation.

"I don't know what's going on in your head but I prefer to stay alive, thank you very much. You can study them better when they're dead." Mason tells her still shooting. Because he did not want them anywhere close to him.

"excuse me?" Saya said to him because she felt but his wanted to live but mostly he just ignored her wants. (That need for Data collection is gonna get yo ass kill woman.)

"Onto another topic my clip is almost empty." Mason told saya making her yell at him.

"YOU THINK THAT'S MY PROBLEM, JUST HURRY UP AND RELOAD IT THEN" saya yells at him .

"But they're right behind you, see" Mason nonchalantly tells Saya as he pointed at the infected, saya look behind her and sees the infected and screamed. Which was heard all through the school. (A/N:Scream Bitch Scream.)

"It's Saya, come on we gotta hurry." Hayate told the group as they picked up the pace.

(switch groups)

"M-Mason!" Saya calls his name while backing away from the infected teacher.

"oh shit no I'm out."Mason tells her he rushes to help her his hand was full with the infected.

"oh no, SAYA!" Mason called out to her. Saya crawls backwards from the infected teacher until her backed up against the school trophies and throws them at it.

"GET BACK, STAY BACK" saya says as she throws the trophies at the infected to no avail and seeing this she desperately looks for something else until she sees the drill from the workshop and uses it on the infected luckily the drill was through it skull and she pulled the trigger as hard as she could "I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE, SOMEONE PLEASE SAVE ME".

"SAYA!" Hayate yells her name and springs into action by throwing a sword made his up of his magic at the infected.

"kill the rest!" Hayate tells the group as he continues attacking, in one slash Hayate kills two in one strike.

"Interesting." Saeko to herself impressed by what Hayate did but focused on the battle killing two as well killing both with ease and smile when she finished, Rei stabs one, as Hayate sees the ammo clips and sees Mason he dives for the ammo and throws them and shouts.

"Mason, catch!" hayate says to him as mason emptied his clips just in time to catch the bullets in his chambers, reloaded in fired at the remaining infected. And with that the room was clear of infected.

"So, that was a thing." Hayate said recalling himself and looked at everyone.

"How you been Mason, still holding strong? " Hayate asks Mason trying to keep everything in high spirits.

"Oh, yeah as you can see I'm doing just fine." Mason says to him but Hayate quickly to notices of Saya broken state of mind and runs to her aid.

"hey Saya." Hayate calls her but was shortly cut off by Rei and Olivia running to her so he decides to go lock the doors.

"I don't believe we've properly been introduced yet, I'm Saeko Akame captain of the swordsman club and a senior and I'm sure you know the school nurse Olivia Scarlett." Saeko said introducing herself to Mason.

"oh. I'm Mason Lucas a sophomore as well and these are my friends Saya a sophomore and you already know Hayate." Mason said extends his hand out for a handshake which saeko followed suit and shook his hand.

"Hey Hayate who's your friend besides you?" Mason asked Hayate as he pointed to Rei because they never met.

" I can introduce myself, I'm Rei Yumi, I'm the captain of the spearman's martial arts club." Rei said to Mason. Not wanting Hayate to talk for her.

"nice to meet you." Mason said to Rei with a smile. Because he never interacted with girls a lot outside of his family.

"why are you talking to her like she's your senior Mason, she flunked last year remember." Saya tells Mason as she gets up.

"Hey Saya, that was uncalled for." Hayate tells saya because there was no need for that and when he reached out he saw her at her most vulnerable.

"DON'T TALK TO ME LIKE I'M STUPID, I'M SMARTER THAN ALL OF YOU COMBINED. You all should be lucky I'm in the same school as you, I'm-I'm."saya says breaking when Saeko put her hand on her shoulder.

"it's okay, that's enough." Saeko tells saya. When she looks in the mirror she sees how bloody she is.

"look at me, my clothes are all dirty mom will." Saya stops mid sentence and as Hayate walks behind her she begins to cry into Saeko arms falling down to her knees and as the room filled Saya cries the rest of the group fell silent.
