The mall saga was too much of a pain... I gave up so i'll just give a summary and pick it up from where I leave it. o.k.?

( The mall saga went off like in the manga... however Kamui got separated from the group and was forced to make a retreat back towards some of the suburbs- all alone with only 32 switchblades, the AR-10, and his Negev. Everyone else is making their way towards the secured School.)

= Suburbs+ Kamui=

I tried to move quietly but the bullets kept making noise as the belts hit against each other. The number of switchblades I have left will be enough to get me to the school, at least I hope. Up till now I had the others but now i'm alone again...or at least im alone in being alive.

"...ugh..."

I could have sworn I heard a voice but all I took note of was a few of them moving from side streets and main streets towards my last positions. At this rate I will be caught unless I get somewhere safe. Another few minutes later and I found myself down to 28 switchblades. If I have to I could just leave the Negev and just shoulder the Ar-10... but then I would be leaving a ton of ammo behind.

I kept on walking and going down less crowded streets until I saw movement that wasn't undead... and it was behind me.

" Come out.", I said bluntly.

The person stayed silent, however a slight gasp of air gave their position away.

"Out.", I said again as I tossed one of my smaller knives four feet behind me and it sunk into a wood lightpole.

" .Ok."

I watched as a black haired man with glasses and a suit stepped out from the shadows.

" Name. Number of people with you. What you want with me.", I demanded of the man at gun point.

" Name: Shido. Occupation: Former-Teacher Following? More like watching to see if you needed help."

I smirked, " Really?", and I decided to add sarcasm to my tone.

" Really.", he said with a serious tone.

I decided to take up his offer and he lead me to a side street that had been blocked off with wires, furniture, and a wall of other things.

= Side streets+ Takashi=

I felt nervous, not only was Kamui missing but now Hirano was losing it.

" Shizuka, I need to ask you something.", I said calmly so that I wouldn't draw attention.

She turned on one foot at bent over, " Yes?"

I moved in close, " Is Hirano going to be ok?"

She pondered her medical knowledge and came up with an answer.

" It's 50-50. He's most likely going through PTSD. At the rate he's going he probably going to die...and if he does then it's likely we will all go out as well."

" Is there anything that can be done?"

" I can't tell you ex-"

Suddenly I felt my hairs go up as Hirano screamed out, " That's it! I'm done!"

I moved to get a clear look from over Neon's head.

"Hirano!", I heard Saya cry out but Shizuka moved first.

She walked up to Hirano and gave him a solid bitch-slap.

" Who are you , Private?"

He looked shocked but then answered, " I'm Hirano, madam! Kohta Hirano!"

" And what are you?"

"Excuse me?"

" What are you? There are only two types here, Private, Living and Dead, Which are you?"

He stood straight, "...Living..."

She layed a hand on his shoulder, " Then live...live for Asami... the officer whom you cared for."

He nodded.

I took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly... another crisis diverted.

Hirano seemed to be lightened by this but I know that the actual killing of a human would harm him for a long time.

" Distance till we reach the school?"

" 7 miles."

In this world 7 miles could take all night to travel... meaning we would have to find a small hole to board up for the night, and Rei was getting very nervous and restless. All I can do is put up a brave face, even if i'm scared.

= Gas Station + Hirano=

I pushed up my glasses as we entered the lobby. The store looked like nobody ha touched much but the cash register since this event began. There is plenty of food and water, as well as deodorant and other easy things that would help our hygiene. Ms. Shizuka found a net gun, but I figure it would be no harm if we let her keep it...even if just for her own amusement. Neon filled his bag with gum and other long lasting foods, Takashi filled his with food and also added a few cleaning products to it.

" Everyone set?", Takashi said as he placed a sun hat over his head so the rain outside wouldn't get in his vision.

"Yeah."

"Set."

"Fuck yeah."

I couldn't help but smirk.

"Travel distance?", I asked Rei.

" I haven't been there in a while but i'd guess about 2 miles."

Two miles equals a good chance that we would meet more of them...great... and with rain our hearing for their moans will be lessened. I pulled on the Military Grade Sniper Rifle- The MG-4- up onto my shoulder and braced my shooting arm so I could get better accuracy.

" We're out ya'll!", Neon said as he pulled on his riot shield and lifted it above his head, making a wide umbrella.

"...americans..", I heard Saya mutter under her breath.

~1 ½ miles~

" I know it sounds weird but am I the only one getting the feeling that they are preparing to ambush us?", I said as we turned down another street.

" If you say it-"

Takashi walked infront of me.

" Then I believe it."

I took the back guard as Neon followed me, then Takashi, Saeko, and Rei took the front.

" Waiting on orders?", Neon asked as he pulled on Whiskey, " Or are we going to go wild?"

" Orders bro. Calm down."

Takashi knelled down and placed the Ithaca in the crook of his arm.

"...When I fire...", he pulled the pump, " Fire at will."

I waited a few more seconds and then I heard the report of his gun and I opened up on the nearest woman who had to be a few meters away.

" Reload!", I said loudly...which was code for the swords to have some show time...

Neon bum rushed a heavy set guy and then ducked low and brought the shield across his neck, decapitating on impact. Saeko was just walking forward and the heads were flying.

After a few more moves the street was clear.

But then a noise erupted from two streets over, " Fuck you! I hope you die! Dickheads!"

Rei's eyes widened and then she took off before we could ask what was wrong.

=Home Street+ Neon=

I folded the shield up and ran after Rei.

The voice was getting louder as I turned the next corner.

"Just go!"

I watched as Kiriko Miyamoto , Rei's mother, shoved her finger high into the sky.

" And you can go to hell!"

Rei cried out and her mother's tough look dissolved into straight puppy love.

"Rei!"

They embraced as everyone else came up behind me. Rei's mother was dressed in a polic officer biker garb and had a spear with three blades up near the top.

"Mom...", Rei said as she broke into tears.

I'm not good at this puppy love stuff so I decided to have a talk with those behind the wall of crap in the road way.

" Yo, Dickheads!"

A shotgun was poked through a hole, right in my face. Instinctively I grabbed the barrel and tugged on it, then a familiar face fell out...

"..ow... Damn it Neon! I was coming out!"

Kamui was pulling on a black trenchcoat that had gotten hung on the parts of an old washing machine. I asked him how he ended up here but Kiriko answered before I could.

" A man was allowed into our camp but in a few hours he turned everyone against me."

I knew there had to be someone really crooked in there.

" I know his name!", said Kamui as he pulled up the Ar-10 from where I had pulled on it.

" Bastard took my Negev. But I got him in the arm with one of my smaller knives, his name is Shito-Shimo-Shojo- Something like that."

Rei's eyes got big..." Shido."

I felt spikes of hair raise as she said it, " Yeah."

She suddenly pulled up her gun and actually rushed the wall but Kamui pulled her away just as a rain of bullets rang out from behind it.

"Traitor! Kill him!"

I lifted the shield and a few bullets actually landed near vital points on my body, " Retreat! Now!", and then everyone got behind me as I backed away from the wall.

"Shit."

Blood was coming from the thigh on Kamui's leg.

Shizuka pulled on a bandage roll and did a quick repair job.

" FuckfuckfuckfuckFUCK! First he steals my gun then he shoots me with it, HELL NO!"

He crawled to the corner and lifted the gun to a window of the closest cabinet.

" FUCKERS!"

I managed to literally drag him as he emptied an entire cartage into the metal and wood.

" Dude. Seriously, it's just a graise on the leg." , I said as he stumbled after me.

" How about I shoot you so that you know how it feels?"

"No thanks."

He put his gun down and followed us back to the main road, where there was already 13 undead walking in our general direction.

" Child, please don't be so brash.", said Kiriko as she patted him on the back and then kicked him on his leg- the wounded one-, " Or I might have to teach you a lesson."

I took a step back and walked over to Rei, " What kind of demon is she?"

" Precinct Kiriko. She used to rule with an all girl biker gang."

= School+ Tadashi Miyamoto=

"Gun fire?"

" Military?"

I turned to the lady beside me, " Opinions Miss Hirano?"

She looked up for a second, " I heard one military but the others werent."

I turned to the 20 odd officers I had before me, " Be ready for new people. Also expect some undead to be following them."

"Sir!"

Ok I know I skipped the mall saga but I feel free to do as I please now. Also now we know where Shido's ass is. See ya!
