Hey everyone, what is up? It's me MexicAmerichick6 with a new chapter of The Death of Binan! :D As I said in the last chapter, due to my life between school and family, updates are now going to be monthly. But since it's now Christmas Break, I can start writing the next chapter, and maybe get it finished sometime after New Year's.

On the side note, I was at the mall with my mom this Saturday, and we saw this little shop place with so many cats! XD My mom wouldn't go in, so I did and met so many kitties! XD

Also, I'm planning to write a new fanfic, which the idea will be posted at the bottom of this chapter.

Chapter Four of The Death of Binan

''You monsters have just messed with the wrong stockbroker.'' Io sneered, as he pulled up his katana. A zombie with its arm scratched on launched a foot onto the table, but Io thrust his sword into the top of his head, letting out a heavy grunt. Blood spewed like a pus from a zit, as Io retracted his sword as he felt his heart slowly pump. Io thrust his blade to the right, shedding off the blood that was on it. He jumped off the table and sliced off the head of the first zombie that tried to claw him, "Gah!" he screeched.

The two zombies that were behind the table climbed over, but Io turned and sliced their heads clean off, which sent them flying towards the other side of the room. Io screeched again, only this time his blade went through two other undead students, through their hearts. Io raised a brow, realizing that there was one more zombie in the room with him. He twirled his blade forward, as he came almost a few inches away from the zombie that was remaining. The last zombie was a very big dude, with arms as big enough to kill someone again, and again, and again.

"Come at me." Io tested it.

The large zombie launched forward, holding its arms out for Io. Io slashed its chest, forming an 'X'.

The large zombie let out a roar of pain. Io spun around like a spindle top, leaving his blade like a razor sharp ornament. The blade slashed across the zombie's chest, but it threw its arm forward, thwacking Io's forehead and sending him to the ground. Io grunted, "Damn it!" as blood splashed onto the back of his clothes like a stone falling into a puddle. The katana flew off, making Io shout "Fuck!"

The zombie dripped acidic clear slime from its bottom orifice, hunching over Io, ready to tear into him as if he were a hunk of meat. Io gritted his teeth, hoping to sit straight, but his hands slipped on the blood. "Oof!" as he fell back. Realizing that he was near a computer, he sat up again quickly and reached his hand for the computer mouse. If Io didn't have anything else, he was fucked. Io yanked the mouse out and threw it over the zombie's neck, pulling on the cord, grimacing and screaming. Blood came and dotted the sides of Io's face, until the zombie's head came right off and fell to the floor.

Io pulled himself up, feeling like some sort of rancid dog. He had not been this dirty since he was soaked from head to toe with mud. He had to soak himself in tubs of soap for six hours just to get it all off. Breathing heavily, he picked up his katana and stored it back to its place. He realized, "Ryuu!" he shouted under his breath, racing out the door and into the hallway. It was the same as the floor as above, dead bodies and furniture used as obstacles. Keeping his hand on the hilt of the blade, Io raced up the stairs.

Ryuu was pacing around in the bathroom, as En-chan was busy looking at Atsushi's damaged ankle. En-chan poked his thumb into it, "I hope Io comes quick." Atsushi spat, jabbing his finger into En-chan's cheek. En-chan swat it away, "Will you just chill?"

"What did I just say?! Just calm the hell down!" Ryuu raised his voice. "Do you even know what you're doing, Yufuin-senpai? If we don't have the Ibuprofen to help, then we'll have to resort to something else." Ryuu undid the laces of Atsushi's shoe, followed by the sock. En did not say anything, only he'd be wide eyed about what he and Atsushi were going to see.

Ryuu found himself standing up, explaining, "Now, can you lie down Kinugawa-senpai?"

Atsushi did what he was told.

"Yufuin-senpai, I'm gonna need your help for this. Since we don't have ice, can you wet some paper towels?" En nodded. He went to the sinks and came back with several tiers of wet paper towels.

"Good." Ryuu said. He got to work.

"Crap," Io thought, as his body was stiff as an ice sculpture. The undead dancing teacher, Mr. Kurotori, had locked him in with a terrible screech. The man had been bitten on the side of his leg. Slowly, he arched his arms over his head, and spun around and around like a ballerina. Throughout, Mr. Kurotori had a smile, petrifying, even though no longer human. "Even when he's dead he can still dance." Io thought again. Io slowly broke his thumb to open the hilt of the katana out, and slowly with the other hand, he grasped the hilt and...

He screeched as...

SLASH!

Mr. Kurotori's head went rolling off, as his body went tumbling down like building being torn by a wrecking ball.

Io sighed, now free from his frozen trance, like a caveman out of a hunk of ice. He thrust his katana again, shedding the blood off. The green haired boy ran through the hall of the second floor, where he saw a cluster of the undead banging their nasty fingers on a door. Io grit his teeth, and shoved his blade into the neck of the first zombie he had his eyes on. The other zombies sensed, and began to throw themselves at Io. The boy muttered, "C'mon, you undead dicks."

When Io had been trying to flee from them, he stumbled into the school's dojo, where he found a large variety of weapons, that not even the sensei bothered to pick up one of them, to fight. Over the pair of bo staff, was the katana. Long, slightly curved, able to slice through anything, such as the undead he was facing.

And with it, Io felt powerful.

As Io shoved his blade the same way to another zombie, just another figured out a way by getting down to bite Io's ankles. Io gasped, but he smashed his foot into the third zombie's forehead, letting its brain mush like a watermelon after getting hit with a rock. Two others threw their hands at the same velocity, but Io spun like a spindle top, beheading them as their heads went to different sides of the hallway. Io grunted, throwing his katana into between the floorboards, before grasping his face like a crazed yandere. His throat hitched as he hunched over, as he made moaning sounds. In other words, he felt like he could heave.

But if Io was powerful, he had to keep himself up, so he collected his katana and continued his business: getting rid of the last few zombies.

"Damn," En muttered, as he was watching through the crack he managed to open. "Io's really sending those zombies highway to hell." he spoke louder, turning to Ryuu, who was helping Atsushi's ankle by elevating it on his shoulder, and Atsushi, who was still laying on the floor. Atsushi's ankle had been wrapped with some of the wet towels, along with had been compressed to help halt the swelling.

"Ryuu, it's amazing on what your doing." complemented Atsushi, as he was looking at Ryuu.

"Let's just say my grandma was a healer. She taught me how do to certain things whenever we didn't have prescription medicine. I remember once when I hit my stomach on the counter, she used fire cupping to help heal."

"Your grandmother sounded like a wise woman." said Atsushi.

Ryuu sighed. "If only she could see me now." as he placed his hands around Atsushi's ankle. Ryuu sighed again, as he put his face into a hard line.

Atsushi didn't know what to say.

En gasped, "Guys, I think Io's done!"

Ryuu's eyes widened. "Oh Kami-sama, is he alright?"

En looked trough the crack again, and saw that Io was holding his knees. En's breath hitched, as he opened the door. He called for Io. "Yo, Io..." setting his hand on the wood.

"Yufuin-senpai..?" The green haired boy panted, looking at his comrade.

"Hey, dude, you alright?" En asked him, walking out.

"Oh man," Io heaved. "I'm alright, I'm alright... Just need sit down for a while.." Io found himself falling to the floor, but En-chan caught him. En pulled an arm around Io's waist and guided him into the bathroom. But as, Io resisted, "Hey senpai, whose bat is that?" referring to the lonely bloody piece of wood on the floor.

En-chan's eyebrows went up, but then he let out a smile. "Oh, that's my bat, but I can come back for it. You need to sit down."

En closed the door behind him, before helping Io sit down on the ground. Io found himself staring at the tile floor, as he made an invisible trail with his finger. Ryuu, on the other hand, had his hands on Atsushi's leg. He looked at his friend with concern, as he noticed how much blood was on his body.

Atsushi blinked.

En swallowed.

Ryuu quivered.

Before the pink haired boy could say anything, Io had eyes on him first. Io was unpredictable, Ryuu wrote in his mind.

Seconds drifted like the calm waters of the morning river. However, Io blew a puff, setting his eyes on the floor again. Atsushi bit his lip, lifting his head to where he could see his ankle. Atsushi felt, he didn't know how or why, like some sort of obstacle, lying between the two boys that were friends for who knows how long. Yeah, like a wall between a runaway student and the free world, or the glass between a criminal and his visitor, or... what else? En on the other hand, felt nothing more than a spectator.

"What's the matter with Kinugawa-senpai?" asked Io, voice a little more higher than a whisper. He must have noticed how Atsushi was positioned, seeing his bare foot resting on Ryuu's shoulder. And seeing the many towels wrapped around it.

"His ankle was damaged." Ryuu explained.

Atsushi did not want to feel like he couldn't speak for himself. "I fell off a ladder in the library." but by the way he said it, Atsushi felt like a twat. But again, Atsushi felt like there was no other choice, as it was either stand up on the ladder like a human shish kabob and get eaten, or be injured but saved.

Io was curious, as his twilight fog eyes lighten, "How did you get out alive?"

"I saved him," En stated, joining them by kneeling on the floor. "we were on our way to the Nurse's Office when we stumbled onto Ryuu."

"From there, Ryuu told us that the police were coming..." Atsushi explained, but then put a firm line on his face. "in two hours."

Io's eyes widen, as he stood up abruptly. "We don't have two hours for some ragtag of cops to show up! Even while we wait, what's the possibility of more zombies finding us, breaking down that door, and eating us?"

"Io!" Ryuu shouted, tightening his grip around Atsushi's leg. "You have a katana! You're basically Saeko Busujima from Highschool of the Dead. You can slay your way through them!" Ryuu sighed. "Even so, no matter how much you can slay, there's always going to be more of them."

That was when En-chan put his statement. "Now that I think of it, when I was beating my way through them, they looked pretty easy to kill. I'm on Io's side."

"HA!" Io pointed a finger at Ryuu. "Another reason why we shouldn't stay here!"

"Even with your katana and whatever weapon Yufuin-senpai has, we would still be dead!"

"Just cram it!" Atsushi screeched, sitting up and pulling his leg away. "This arguing is going to get us nowhere! While you guys were arguing at each other like a bunch of buzzards over a hunk of roadkill, don't you think all of that arguing would've attracted some of them here?"

Silence.

"Uh-huh." Atsushi made, twirling his finger around. By the way he did it, Atsushi felt like he was on top of them. And of course, he was. Io and Ryuu looked at each other with awestruck eyes.

Atsushi sighed. "In times like this, we have to learn how to compromise. Now, Io, you want to get out of here." he pointed at Io, looking at him. He turned to Ryuu, "Ryuu, you want to stay safe. I think we can align those together." Atsushi sighed, but then he felt he was running out of what to say.

"Well?" Ryuu said, eager to hear Atsushi.

"Well," Atsushi said, taking off his glasses and looking at them. Atsushi frowned somberly, knowing that there'd be no way of getting these fixed in this time, but continued, "If we can get out of this place, we can find a place to hide." Atsushi felt that it was weak, but what else? "Io, with your sword, you can slay the zombies. Ryuu, seeing that you were able to find this place, you can find another place to hide. It's symbiosis. You two can provide protection for each other. See where I'm going?"

There were two sighs.

"Yes." Io and Ryuu said in unison.

En's mouth cracked into a smile, as so did Atsushi's.

"But Atsushi, your condition," En-chan said. "you can't walk!"

"I can help with it!" Ryuu said with a snap of his fingers. He helped Atsushi stand up, wit one hand, Ryuu pulled off his school tie, and tied it around his left ankle and Atsushi's injured right. "Three legged man-race!" Ryuu said.

"Nice." En said.

"Alright," Atsushi began, putting a hand on his hip. "Now, considering how many people go to this school, we can jumped at anytime, anywhere." Over the course of the two hours, possibly over two thirds of this school has been infected.

"So...?" Io asked.

"Io, since you have the katana, you watch our backs. En, you stay in front of us."

"I can handle it." En said, coming back with his bat.

"If Yufuin-senpai says it, I can too." Io nodded.

"Which exit do we go out of?" Ryuu asked.

"Side." Io said, holding his katana out. "There's one back on the first floor."

"How far?" En asked.

"Not too long." Io speculated. "If we all move at a certain pace, we can get out of here in less than five minutes."

"Let's move." En said.

From the moment En led them out, the four boys walked down the hallway, and towards the staircase. Ryuu and Atsushi kept themselves together so they would walk at the same speed everyone else; Io had made sure after they were out, that he would clean and sharpen his katana, as it could rust with the blood that remained and grow dull; En wasn't sure on what he would do, maybe upgrade his weapon? Add a few nails to make it a spiked baseball bat? He had seen that in some movies and video games.

By the time they had gone down the staircase, they were calmly walking down the hallway to the side exit. Nothing had come out, which was no surprise, since the doors on the floor showed that their rooms were empty. Also, there were dead bodies on the floor that had some deep marks on them. One had a mark on its back, which was still was bleeding as the body was lying on its side; another a had mark on its chest just over the heart and on its forehead; and a third had both of its arms chopped off. It caught the attention of Ryuu.

"Guys...?" Ryuu asked, still walking with Atsushi next to him. Io and En stopped, causing Atsushi to stop as well.

"What's up?" En asked.

"Someone else was here." Ryuu said.

Io found his eyes on the window, where he saw two figures, one large, one small, hanging onto one another.

"Hey, isn't that those guys from that Bathhouse?" En said, pointing to them. The small one had fluffy blonde hair, who En recognized to be the kid who would mop the floors. The large one had orange hair, and well, he wasn't seen too much due to his job cutting the wood. At least five of the undead were around them.

"Big brother...?" Yumoto whimpered, clutching onto Gora. Gora looked at his little brother, as he was still trying to figure out what to do. Gora looked away, and saw that the infected Megawa was still coming closer towards. Gora swallowed. Fuck, as his ax was still on the infected boy's chest. Gora never realized that he would the spend the last moments of his life surrounded by zombies.

"We got to help them!" Ryuu shouted.

"Why are you saying that?" Io said. "You're the one that wanted to stay safe, why are you contradicting yourself?"

Ryuu grit his teeth. "More eyes and ears, right? From the movies I've seen, there's always strength in numbers, right?"

"How do we even know we could trust them?" En bellowed, knitting his eyebrows. "Those two for all we know could be cultists!"

"This again?!" Atsushi screeched. The blue haired young man grit his teeth, just irritated. "Io, just go! Take care of them!"

Feeling that he couldn't argue with Kinugawa-senpai, Io raced out. Atsushi shut his eyes, taking a long deep breath.

Ryuu couldn't believe it. "Are you really-?!"

"Yes I am." Atsushi said.

En gasped, holding his bat in front. "Someone's gotta help Io!"

Ryuu was stuck in a daze. It was like everyone knew what to do. Yufuin-senpai and Io, they knew how to fight, and Kinugawa-senpai, Ryuu thought, it's like he knew how to keep order, like a counselor. The only thing Ryuu knew what to do was question.

"We have to keep going behind them." said Atsushi. "How else?"

Ryuu obliged.

Yumoto found himself burrowing into his older brother's body. Gora held his arm around him. This was it. But it wouldn't be so bad, Gora thought, at the very least, he had the person that he loved more than anyone else in the whole world with him. Nothing else mattered, no one else mattered, Gora thought, closing his eyes one last time...

Slash!

Yumoto's eyes turned wide. Gora opened one eye. Could it be? Their respite?

A rainbow of blood flew into the air, as one undead baseball player's head went to the ground.

Yumoto's eyes widen. Naruko?

Io sent his blade into the head of another baseball player, causing a v-shaped crater to form. He spun around once, and sliced the player's chest thus killing it. Io grunted, feeling like some sort of human ham slicer.

En-chan smashed his bat into the face of a second player, sending it to the floor, with half of its face peeled off. He was near Gora and Yumoto when he asked, "Yo! You two alright?"

Gora's eyes lightened, but the undead Megawa came closer... closer... closer...

KER-POW!

Megawa's body went flying towards the back of the school's sign, completely dead.

Yumoto had punched him in the gut.

So sorry if the ending was rushed! . It's so hard having to stop at eleven in the evening, and start again at nine in the morning. DX

Anyways, here is the idea: "The five boys get locked up, all because Io was drunk. How will their parents respond? Pretty badly." Please give me your opinion!

Please make sure to review this chapter, share, and subscribe; I hope you all have very, Merry Christmas, or hope you stay safe during the Holidays, and I'll see you all next month. :)
