Heya. This chapter was written in advanced.

Disclaimer this be. Owning I do not.

"...shoot her."

"We're not going to shoot her unless she attacks us!" Ow. My throat hurts. "Besides, Ia would be able to control her if she tried attacking us, so there's no worry that we'll be next. Rin's our friend, Len, and friends mean you don't shoot each other in the forehead until they attack you with a blood thirsty rage." What. Since when did... Oh whatever. The main thing was that I was feeling a lot better. I didn't feel so nauseated and my chest didn't feel tight. There was a cool, wet towel- or at least, what I think is a wet towel- on my head. I didn't feel like I was dying and that, by itself was a good thing.

"C'mon, man, put that down!" Gumi laughed. "You're not gonna shoot Rinny. You don't have the balls to anyway. I know your type." Okay, this was starting to get a little annoying. I started to force my eyes to open when I realized that my mouth was taped and my hands and feet were tied behind my back. "Oh! Look, I think she's waking up!" Looking around the RV, I was back in bed and four pairs of eyes were gazing down at me, wondering what I was going to do next. "Y'know, taping her mouth wasn't the best idea, lemme me just..." Oh no.

Rip.

"SON OF A-" I bit down on my lip, sighing when the faint faded away. "Did you have to rip it off like that?"

"Hey! See? What did I tell you? She's completely fine," Gumi said, with a nod. She placed her hand behind my back and helped me to sit up. "That sure was some episode you had there, Rinny. Lemme tell you, we all thought you were gonna be a host yourself. That would've broke poor Lenny's heart, y'know. After all, you're the only person here he probably considers a friend."

"While that's nice and inflates my ego," I said, with a nod. "Can you guys untie me? Also, water and something to eat would be good too."

"Hold still, okay, Rin?" Miku asked, walking to stand to where she could untie me. Eventually, I was freed from my rope prison and stood up to stretch. Miku immediately pulled me into a hug and held me tightly. "You had me worried sick, you know!... Okay, that's a wrong way to put it, but you were seriously turning into a zombie on us..." She pulled me away to look me in the eyes and almost immediately, I felt bad by what happened.

"B-Big Sis Rin...I-I... I'm so sorry..." she apologized, sniffling. Tears were falling from her face as she ran and hugged my legs. "It's my fault! It's my fault you got sick! I'm so sorry, I... I didn't mean to!" I patted her head softly and looked at the others, a bit confused to why the little host controller was touching me. Len moved over to Gumi's usual chair and sat down, looking out the front window as if he didn't want to be a part of the conversation. Miku and Gumi on the other hand, looked at each other till Miku ran to the kitchen, remembering that I requested water and food.

"Shit, I guess I gotta say it, huh?" Gumi said, scratching the back of her head. "Well, Rin, lessee... Basically, strawberry pop," she nodded to Ia who clung to my legs, "thought that trying to get some of her blood in your blood would help you become immune or something like that." Gumi cleared her throat as Miku returned, handing me some crackers and water. The first thing I did was drink that water due to the fact my throat was basically punching me. "So she literally opened up one of her bandages and-"

"OKAY, I GET IT- Ahem, I mean, I don't think I want to hear any more of that," I said, shaking my head at Gumi. "Seriously, that's kind of..." I looked down at Ia who had still been crying over her mistake. "Hey, don't cry. I'm not a host am I? So something must had gone right." I crouched down and gave her a hug. "C'mon, don't be sad. You really tried to help me, didn't you?" She nodded, trying to wipe her own tears away. "That's good. Just... next time, give me a warning, alright?"

"Anyway, now that we're done with this situation, let's get moving!" Gumi cheered, throwing her hands to the air. "And by that, I mean, where the fuck are we even going?" We all sat quietly for a bit and we had a silent agreement that we had absolutely no idea where we were heading now. There wasn't really anywhere we needed to go. I mean like, we could go and help other survivors, but I wasn't sure. Miku stood up and walked over to the driver's seat, sitting down. She started the RV and we began to drive. Gumi slugged over to her seat and spun around.

"You should take a shower, Rin," Miku called from the driver's seat. I stood up and put the trash away before I went to wash off the sweat and the remnants of my sickness.

Short Chapter. I'm sorry :c
