So...dont hate me for holding off on Zeke and Co., but I wanna skip that and do it later on... ( remember this is my AU. ) And I dont think I will be needing any ideas for swords since I got some serious help from about 26 friends on an app called Animania...(shame it got taken off of Google Play, but oh well)
Disclaimer: I own nothing but Neon.
*Ms. Shizuka's home + Saeko-
I pulled the pillow up behind my back and leaned into it. I couldn't help but feel giddy considering how easy I was getting a reaction from Neon. His new haircut was still long enough to run my hand through but not short enough that he looked like a military guy, and him cracking that pocky stick made me smile even wider.
" So, how about you tell me more about yourself, Neon?", I asked as he pulled a rolling chair from the desk across the room near the couch.
He sat backwards in it and started to spin in a circle, " Nothing much really. I come from a small town in the state of North Carolina on our eastern coast. I spent summers practicing sword fighting and fist fights with neighbors, considering I live in the middle of friggin nowhere. Oh.. I lived in the middle of friggin nowhere. My bad. I mean I don't put up fronts, If I have something to say I will say it. My family..well I guess im alittle of everything. My great grandfather was an immigrant from northern Japan, my great grandmother was a Native American. Since then my family married whites in the area and that's why I have no similar looks of either ethnics.", he stopped spinning and shook his head, " I wanted to come here so I could see what my mother was always talking about... But I guess ill be living here permanently. All my family has been dead for years. Im a lone wolf."
I sat straighter as his story continued. His blueish eyes were shining a little as they reflected the light from the lamp, I felt an aura fill the room, and I looked down at the small glass of water that was on the table and took a sip from it.
He smiled, " Ya know that was my cup right?", and he did another spin.
I placed the cup down and propped my neck up with my right arm.
" Well, at least it wasn't you pocky stick.", I said jokingly but he turned red and nibbled on it again.
" it's kind of hard not to get nervous around such a pretty woman...", he muttered in a low breath.
" Can you repeat that?", I said...even though I heard him perfectly.
"I said why are you dressed that way?"
I smirked at his nervous expression, "I just want to be comfortable.", and he stood up.
He tossed the last of the pocky into his mouth and walked into the bathroom.
" You better not be doing that!", I said loud enough for him to hear.
"DAMN IT IM NOT!",I heard him scream as the door opened and he had a toothbrush in his mouth, he pointed at it in defense.
I let my expression stay neutral even though I wanted to laugh my guts out at this silly American.
's home + Takashi-
Rei and I were in the middle of an important moment, a moment where I could have leaned in to kiss her, but Neon suddenly screamed out...and I jumped so high I thought I was going to fall down the stairs. Rei turned red as she looked away.
" Im sorry. I should have been more mature...", she said- referring to failing a grade so she could stay with me.
" No, it isn't your fault. Not at all.", I said trying to comfort her.( when in reality it was TOTALLY her fault.)
" Takashi.", she leaned against me and closed her eyes.
I looked down at her and remembered the old days.
I was going to say something but a gun-shot rang outside the house. Hirano came flying into the hallway dressed up like Rambo...
" We gotta go! As in now!", he said as he layed bullets and the shotgun beside me.
Rei turned and ran to get her spear from the bedroom down the hall. Neon suddenly burst into the hallway and grabbed a leather jacket off the counter that he said that he wanted to keep. It was black leather and on the back was the name of some bar and it had "Ne" in big green letters. I shoved the bullets into my school jacket and pulled the strap over my neck.
" Whats going on?", said Saya as she came into the room with a drunken Shizuka behind her.
" The bridge down the road has been over run. And now they are already down here. That gunshot came from three houses down. We need to leave."
" But on what?", said Neon as he placed the two glocks into his holsters.
Ms. Shizuka had enough power going to her brain to say that there was a jeep outside and that the keys were by the door.
I jumped up and joined Neon as we ran outside into the cold.
" Ill clear as you get it started and pulled up to the house, got it?", I said as he flipped the key into his right hand.
" Fuck yeah!", he said a little too enthusiastically.
The jeep was obviously American because the steering wheel was on the other side.
" Ok, Let's get this party started again!", he said as he jumped onto the brick wall and ran on it until he reached the top of the jeep, " Get the gate. Three are outside."
I pumped the shotgun and kicked open the gate. The first two were women. I hit her in the head with the but of my gun and then fired. The recoil knocked me onto my butt, but I hit both with head shots. The man was on me too fast, he was about to bite but suddenly his head disappeared.
" Gotta be more careful Takashi. That gun has serious recoil for someone who hasn't fired a gun before."
I looked up at the balcony as Hirano reloaded his clip with one more bullet(tactical reload).
The jeep backed in and the girls started to load the vehicle with food, bags, and other things of use to us. I heard a scream from a house on our right about two doors down...we are being boxed in.
" We are all set Takashi! Come down Hirano, hurry!", Rei said as she sat beside Saya and Neon. Hirano came down and got in the back-back, with the ammo and other necessary supplies. I got in the side seat and Saeko sat in the middle with her back propped up against Neon. He looked a little uncomfortable with her in almost nothing while sitting against him, and I could understand, with her only being in a white apron.
" LET"S DRIVE!", screamed Hirano as Ms. Shizuka pulled out of the drive way. We hit another one of them as we began to drive into the waterway that was down the street. I felt a jolt as we began to drive slowly down-stream. The jeep seemed to be doing well considering it was up to the middle of the wheels in water, but the rest is so high up that we could probably drive in more dangerous conditions.
"You guys sleep. Ill handle watch. After all, im used to late nights.", said Neon as he opened the roof hatch and exited. He closed it and then sat down on the roof. Honestly, I still don't know what to think about him, but I think that he is a good guy. I leaned back into the chair and soon fell asleep, where I drempt of brighter and happier times.
*Riverbank+ Neon-
I stayed up the rest of the night until, in the rising sun, I felt a knock from under me. I stood up and moved so that it was able to open. Saya poked her head out.
" I hope you didn't cat-nap while we were asleep..", she said as the other doors opened and everyone filed out .
" You wish I would.", I said seriously as I jumped down near Rei. She looked a little surprised but then she bent over and touched her toes.
I looked at our ragtag group and actually couldn't believe that we made it through day one of hell. I saw Saeko and got an accidental fanservice, not that im complaining but...
" Ok guys, go to the other side of the jeep. Us girls have to-", Saya grunted as she lifted a black garbage bag out the back of the jeep and layed it down," change. Peak and I will kill you. Let you come back and kill you again."
We moved to the other side of the jeep and had to listen to them converse over who wants what and what color underwear to put on. I though Hirano was havin a hernia because of all the blood that was leaking from his nose. Takashi just sat down crosslegged. I just leaned back and did my best not to look back.
" Alright boys. You can come out now."
We tuned around. Rei was in her school outfit, Saya was in street apparel, Saeko was still in the black pantyhose but she was in school the school shirt with a small black miniskirt, and Shizuka was in khaki pants with a blue turtleneck. Honestly they weren't dressed for protection, but...oh well...
Saeko walked up next to me and breathed on my neck, which got me aroused, and asked how she looked. I know I turned red to some degree because Takashi was snickering.
"g-g-g-good...", I replied weakly. She smiled a little bit.
" So, where to now?", asked Hirano as he began to step towards the jeep.
"I want to go to the police station. My father was there. Maybe they are still holding out." , replied Rei. We all looked at each other and agreed that that was a smart idea.
It isnt that far, the boarding house I was with is on this side so I know a lot of these side streets.
The jeep wouldn't be able to make it towards the top of the bank if everyone was inside so everyone but just walked up and then she suddenly came barreling past us and slammed hard into the cement pavement. I know that if we keep running it like this that in the end the jeep will break down...but until then we will just have to suck it up and deal with it.
" Next stop, the Police Station."
Eastern Police Station + Rei-
I looked at the police station as we rolled up towards it. There are long black tire marks headed deeper into the city and tents are still up. The front door is open wide, yet I see none of them around us. I stepped out and moved towards the door to the building but Takashi held me back for a second. He pulled the shotgun over his arm and went in first. Shizuka stayed with the jeep incase we needed to make a fast escape. Neon got creative and picked up a plastic bullet-proof shield from near the barricade and took head after Takashi made sure we had no suprises as soon as we stepped into the building.
" My father's office is on the second floor, and so are the weapon storage areas."
Hirano smiled when I said weapon storage area. Neon began to walk up the stairs but after he turne dhe let out a yelp and was pushed back by an undead police officer. It was one of the new officers...
" Damn it ALL!", Neon pulled the glock from his right shoulder holster and fired right into the head of the officer. The blood went across the shield and onto the wall. As I walked past some piece of his bone fell onto the floor. When we turned the corner I saw two more officers and three civilians.
" Allow me to handle this."
"Yeah... but im gonna get some action too."
Neon shield rushed the officers and cracked their heads open with the boken, and Saeko brought her boken down onto the first, up one the second, and beheaded the third one in a flash. I heard a small snap from Neon.
He was looking down on his boken. " Shit, the edge is breaking."
Saeko looked at it and said that it would soon need to be replaced but it can make it for a little while longer.
" There it is room 243.", I said as I reached for the knob. When I opened it there were papers everywhere and no undead in sight.
" It looks like this floor wasn't touched.", said Saya as she bent over a beeping computer.
I looked to my left and saw a message on the board:
"FOLLOWING CODE:L WE ARE LEAVING AND REINFORCING THE SCHOOL IN BLOCK #3."
It was in my father's hand writing. I felt truly happy. Takashi noticed it as well and smiled, considering that is the area where his mother works. I bet he was hoping that his mother was there when they arrived.
" Whats code:L?", asked Neon as he replaced the spent bullets in his glock.
Saya looked at it and then replied, " It's military code for non-stop riots. The government closes and goes into hiding. It's basically saying that its every person for themselves.", as she went back to checking on something. When I asked her about it later one she said she was checking to see if the power plants were still online.
"Do you know which room is the armory?", asked Hirano as he grinned a little.
" Two doors down.", I answered as he and Takashi went to see if there was anything in there. I heard a couple grunts and then the door being broken off it's hinges.
" Holy crap there's nothing in here!"
We turned and looked into the empty armory. Hirano smiled as he saw the label on the door next to it, which read: " Contraband and Evidence".
The door had to be kicked in but when it snapped down Hirano ran right in like a kid in a candy store.
" I bet they got all sorts of illegal weapons in here!"
He bent down and pulled a gun case from the bottom shelf. Inside was a shotgun, but it was a lot different from the double barrel one that Takashi had. This one had one barrel, a clip system, and a pump.
" This is definitely an American gun bros, I think these are used by our police. It's used by SWAT teams.", said Neon as he went into the row across from Hirano, " It's definitely better than that piece of crap you are currently using."
Takashi layed down his gun and picked up the new one.
Hirano grunted as he pulled two more guns from the other shelves.
The first was a rapid-fire assault rifle with clip system and a railing for extra equipment. It also had a strap for ease of carrying. Hirano gave it to me. I felt the weight, but it wasn't much more than a book bag.
He pulled the next gun out, It was a slightly longer sniper rifle with a better scope and a lazer on the end. He smiled a little wider and placed his old model on the case and pulled the other one out.
I heard Neon whistle. " You guys ought to be jealous of the two things I just found.
He came out with a custom sword ( Imagine a slightly longer handle of a military knife with a katana length blade wielded into it.) and a silver western revolver. He pulled the small glock that was under his left arm and a knee holster from a shelf out and gave them to Saeko.
" You are gonna need this...eventually...", he said as he helped her strap it onto her leg.
I felt a lot safer now that everyone( oops forgot Shizuka(but she never got anything yet but that net gun)) had weapons. We left the police station and got into the jeep. stared at us with wide eyes.
" Now I say we should head for my house and see if there is anyone home, after all, my house is like a fortress.", Saya said as she pushed her glasses up onto her face, " I promise we will check on the school...but we are close to night fall and we need a safe place to stay."
I nodded and then we took off down the highway towards one of the side streets.
Street headed towards Saya's house+ Guardsman-
I noticed a jeep headed towards us... and they are about to hit the invisible wire fence that is set up. There is very little chance that they will avoid it. I lifted the headset and called into the boss.
" Sir, We have...well...company...and if my eyes don't decieve me I believe that Lady Saya is in the vehicle."
There was a short buzz and then the commander came onto the line, "That's my baby. I knew that she would make it back."
I watched in short breath as they hit the wire...and then watched in helpless horror as more of them came down the street and began to attack.
Yahoo! Neon got his sword. If you want an example of the handle just google American Military knife and imagine the hilt about two inches longer. Whoooo wants more comedic romance? Well if you dont screw you because that's what the next chapter is. LOL! -salute- See Yall later!
