Miyuki awoke feeling more exhausted than ever. She yawned, and attempted to get up, when a she felt the heavy weight half-leaning on her. Instantly, her deep purple orbs, snapped open and she could feel herself panic under Takashi's weight. 'What the heck is he doing on me?' She mentally shouted, before stretching her arm. As she did, she gaped at the lack of clothing, and remembered the day before at the apartments where she'd taken a shower, and scooted far away from him, before sighing and desperately searching through the trash bags for her clothes. At no sign of them, she frowned, and crawled to the back seat, and appeared next to Takagi.

"Where are my clothes?" She whispered. Miyuki watched as Takagi's eye twitched as Kohta sang 'Shoot, Shoot, Shoot your guns' his parody of row your boat, and stared shocked as she punched him in the head.

"Don't go saying things like that to kids!" Miyuki shook her head, something of a smile appearing on her face, as the pink haired girl huffed and turned to her.

"If they're not in the bag, we probably left them at the apartment. We were in a rush to get to you and Takashi, it might have gotten left." Miyuki groaned, before crawling back to the bags, and scavenging for a new wardrobe. In the end, she'd found a blue shirt that fit just fine, while shorts that at least made it four inches below her rear. She was never going to do this again. Quickly she began to strip, and kept her eyes at the front of the car hoping no one would awake. As she slid the cloth over her torso, she sighed in relief and now went for the shorts. She'd gotten the sorry piece of clothing she had on off her body and threw it out the window, praying she'd never see it again. Now to put another pair on…

She slid one leg through the hole, then another.

Takashi woke up, rubbing his eyes from his sleep. He gave a silent yawn, before turning and opening his eyes…to the greatest sight he'd ever seen. Miyuki was half naked, and he had a complete view, with her panties on. His eyes widened, as he pulled his shirt down once again.

"M-Miyuki?" The government agent froze, and turned her head toward him. As their eyes met in an awkward silence, it was only seconds before she was yelling the chugging random items near her in his direction. The first was the bag of clothes, then her bag, and after that, she'd pegged him in the chest with her handgun, before hastily pulling the shorts over her body. He jumped over the back seat, taking refuge beside Rei and Saeko who'd just woken up.

"Takashi…what's going on?" He placed his hands over his eyes, as she peeked around the corner finding Miyuki blushing and hugging her knees. Rei looked between the two before gaping at Takashi.

"You saw her naked?" Soon enough, he was shielding himself from repeated punches, and slaps, while Saeko laughed and Miyuki continued to blush.

"She wasn't Naked!"

As they arrived on the other side of the river, Miyuki noticed there were no zombies around. She'd seen nothing but beautiful scenes of Japan. Cherry blossoms decorated every side corner with a milky pink. The sky was the normal baby blue, and beside her sat Takashi who was engaged in conversation with Rei and Saeko. She received a tap on the shoulder and turned to see him, awkwardly staring away from her.

"Uhm…I have a question." She nodded.

"Do you remember who…Kashi-kun is?" He furrowed his eyebrows confused as she tensed. Miyuki took shallow breaths flashes of the boy she'd met at the park who buried her doll flashed through her head. That's when she realized she hadn't been hearing his voice anymore. She shuffled under his gaze, before darting her eyes to the window, trying to divert her gaze and concentration from the question. However, the sight at hand wasn't a pretty one. As she looked forward, a hoard of zombies were huddled in the direction in front of them. Before she could reply, Takagi had yelled at Dr. Marikawa to make a turn, and quickly, the tires about faced, causing Miyuki to slam face first into the glass window, even harder when Takashi, Rei, and Saeko mashed up behind her. As she turned her head toward the back of the Humvee, she watched in despair as her rifle was inconveniently thrown out of the windows.

Unconsciously, she reached out for the weapon and gasped as it was soon trampled on by the undead. She glared, before pushing away from the window, Takashi saw the anger in her face, and didn't question. She began to crawl toward the back of the vehicle heading to her sword, when everything happened too fast. Tires screeched. Glass broke. Screams erupted.

Miyuki lay on cold cement disheveled, as she tried to stand, she felt the stabbing pain running up her recently sprained ankle, knowing it was broken. She could feel the blood running down the side of her face. No other pain was more promising. She collapse against the graffiti painted brick wall. Her knees fostered the scraped skin, and she bit her tongue to keep from screaming as hot cinders and ash landed upon the wound. She looked to the side, seeing Rei on the ground, as well, but not harmed as much. Takashi ran to Rei first, checking to see if she was okay, before walking up to Miyuki.

"You can't fight." She froze, and glared up at him, annoyed at his response to the damage.

"I have to! If I don't you'll all be killed you idiot!" He gave a halfhearted smile, before patting her on the shoulder.

"Come on. We always count on you for something. Give us a chance to prove to you that we're worth the time you spend saving us, alright?" She grumbled something under her breath, before sighing deeply.

"Yeah, okay fine, but if something happens, I'm stepping in, regardless of what you tell me." He grinned, and gave her a thumbs up.

"It's a Deal."

Miyuki watched everyone risking their lives hopelessly against a large pack of zombies. For their number, they actually weren't doing too badly. However, there was more of the undead than there were fighters, meaning they'd be losing soon. She frowned, as things got frantic, and reached for her gun. Her she made contact with her inner thigh before growling. A memory of her throwing the weapon at Takashi ran through her head, and she cursed herself. Never before had she ever made such a stupid, drastic mistake.

"Takashi!" Her head snapped in the direction toward the boy, as he spun around coming face to face with a zombie. Without hesitance, she threw her sword at the monster, pinned him and a few others on the ground. He turned and threw her a thankful smile, and it was then she froze.

She'd saved him. Why? She couldn't get attached…but… She slammed her fist against the brick, creating a soft thud. Her fringe draped over her violet orbs as she stared at the ground. The more time she spent with these guys, the more she was endangering their life, and she was realizing it. She gave a bitter smile, pushing her head back against the scraping dry red clay. She really was a horrible person. The pain that ran through her limbs simply added to the piercing guilt. She could only hope Baden or her father himself hadn't seen the action. If he had…she'd have to abandon them.

Soon Takagi had even wanted to join the fight. The genius had even seen how bad they were losing. Miyuki ground her teeth. Never had she felt so useless to someone. She was usually well kept, the savior, the hope. Now she was simply a piece of the scenery, soon to die.

"You find it, and eliminate it. I don't care if it's at the bottom of the ocean I don't care if you die. You will do it; I've kept an eye on you. I can destroy everything you hold dear, wait scratch that, are beginning to hold dear." Baden's words echoed through her mind, the daunting words having every hint of malice they seemed. She knew the threat wouldn't go unfinished. If she died, so would they. She couldn't allow that, but what could she do? She was helpless.

"Completely useless…" She murmured.
