Chapter Eleven

I don't know if I'd ever felt so happy as I did in that moment. We raced down the paved street, the nail gun shots a guide to our desired destination. I ran as fast as I could, Rei easily keeping up with me. Then I caught sight of them. I skidded to a stop when I saw just what was going on.

There was no way to reach them. At least not in time to help them with what was going on. I knashed my teeth together. Our little group was fighting desperately against a relatively large hoard of the undead. I couldn't reach them but I definitely could help them! "Kohta," I shouted, all eyes turned to us. I grabbed the gun from Rei's hand, before throwing it with all my might towards the chubby gun fanatic. I didn't think I'd make it, the gun was heavy, but apparently my strength was greater than I'd realized.

Kohta fumbled, but managed to catch it.

"Don't give up guys, we'll get up there somehow!" Rei called through her hands. Then she looked around quickly, I was doing the same. "Over there, Saeko, the side of the bridge. It's like a ramp, we can get up it," Rei explained. I nodded and took her hand, squeezing it. We dashed towards the stone sides of the bridge.

It was relatively easy to scale it, but I accidently scraped my knuckles on the way up. Not that I really cared. I had gotten worse wounds than that. Then, we reached the top. I grunted as I leapt up over the rails of the bridge. ThenI turned to help Rei up on the other side. We brushed ourselves off quickly, before we glanced over. I nodded.

"Let's go." I began to quickly walk to where our friends were still facing off against the undead. Rei grabbed my hand before I could go far. "Before we do this Saeko. I want to be with you! Through all this, after all this. I want you to be in a relationship with me. To make love to me. I don't know if it's possible...but maybe have kids one day." I gazed into her eyes. Then I sighed.

"We'll discuss this afterwards Rei! We have more pressing concerns" Why was she springing this on me now? She seemed hurt. I quickly responded again, "but I want to be with you too. We just can't talk about it right now!" I took my hand from her and began to race towards Kohta and the others.

"Saeko," Yuuki exclaimed, fighting off a zombie with a pipe of some kind. I grinned at her as I dashed into the group, holding my bokken tight. Never thought I'd be happy to see her again.

I glanced at the hoard approaching. This would be great for releasing the tension that had started to grow in me. I swept my blade out to smash into the skull of one of the zombies. Blood exploded along the slender wooden blade, and I swept it out, letting the fresh blood splatter against the pavement. Kohta was rapidly, and accurately , killing with the Smith and Wesson I had thrown to him. Every bullet hit one of their brains. It was a good decision giving him that.

Rei leapt into the fight as well, using her broomstick once again. Sometime soon, we'd get her a real weapon. We finished soon after. Grins were on all of our faces. I highfived Takashi. Everyone of us clumped together, greeting each other, teary. It felt good seeing all of them alive and well.

"Takashi," I hugged him, "I hope you've been safe." He grinned back at me, nodding his head.

"Of course I've been safe," He beamed, positively happy to see me. It felt good. I really had friends. Scratch that, I really had great friends. A hand grabbed my shoulder, twisting me towards them. My eyes widened when a mouth crushed onto mine. Fingers buried into my hair. A tongue pressed into my mouth and hips ground against mine. I groaned, "Yuuki…what the hell?" I shoved the girl away, wiping my mouth off. She licked her lips.

"Mmmm, Saeko I've missed you. So much. I was so worried all the time." Somehow, I doubted that. Hands clasping my uniform jacket, she tugged me close and kissed me again.

"Wait a second, don't just kiss me like that." I pressed her away. I panted and wiped my mouth off again. She pouted playfully, disappointed. I felt bad about what I was going to say next. "Listen, I like you…but I don't want to be in a relationship with you like that." I wasn't going to make a mistake like before. With Kaori. I was going to make my feelings towards someone more clear. "I'm with Rei now."

She seemed shocked. Her eyes were wide and she moved away from me. I relaxed. Rei was beaming at me. Yuuki gave me one last shocked look, before she turned away and walked a short distance. Taniuchi gave her a pat on the back and said something to her. I had made a good decision saying that. But now all the girls with us were less than pleased, that included Shizuka. Who wouldn't even meet my eyes.

"W…where did you get this!?" Kohta squeaked. His eyes rapidly moved along the gun. There was a huge smile on his face. I laughed as I turned my attention to him now.

"Glad you like it buddy, but it's a long story-"

"Where's Kaori and Misuzu," Saya asked softly. I froze, eyes going wide. I hadn't thought it through. What was I going to say?! What was I going to do!? There was nothing I could say to explain this! My hands shook. I opened my mouth to answer but nothing came out. I couldn't tell them about Kaori. I couldn't. I'd never had friends. I wanted to have friends. I needed to have friends! I couldn't go back to being like that. Alone and desperate and clinging to any who even gave me a second glance like Shizuka when she cared for me after I was injured.

"Kaori died…she was taken by the undead. There was nothing we could do," Rei said solemnly. My eyes moved to her. She had a feigned expression of sorrow. I trembled. She was an angel. "As for Misuzu," Her face became much more serious, "she chose to abandon our group to meet up with her boyfriend. It's okay though. No harm done. She was a weak link anyways. All that matters is that she's safe, and we're safe now." I relaxed. Rei had me covered. "If we want to stay that way we need to find our way to safety, is that agreed?"

"Safety," Saya scoffed. She shook her head. Her eyes lasered into Rei's. "The entire earth is brimming with the living dead. We're not safe anywhere we fucking go."

"She meant temporary safety," Takashi said immediately, wiping his hair from his eyes. "And she is also right. But where the heck can we go? I don't know my way around here."

"Well," Shizuka smiled, "My friend has a flat that's nearby," She looked at each one of us, "It's not that far away. I'm sure we could make it there in about fifteen minutes. What do you say we call it a day and bunk there?" A grin grew on Saya's face.

"A friend hmm?" Saya smiled, teasing. She gave the nurse a nudge. Shizuka blinked, then her amber eyes widened as she realized what Saya was implying.

"Not that kind of friend! Well, I guess that kind of friend. My girlfriend lives there. She has me housesit a lot since she's often out of the country and traveling. She gave me a spare key," I forgot that she had a girlfriend. Oh god. I'd been so stupid. I thought to enter relationship with her knowing she was with someone? What had I been thinking at the time? But it was time to start thinking things through.

"There are some things we need if we're to stay there. It has to be a high-rise, and have a good view of what's below us," Kohta said seriously, his eyes narrow with thought.

"It's a duplex by the river, it has both of those things," The nurse beamed. The prospect of rest was obviously appealing to her. "Not only that but there's a convenience store nearby and she has a car. But not a car car, one of those military jeeps that run everything down in front of it." She was obviously pleased with herself.

"That's fucking perfect, almost to good to sound true," I laughed. "let's go! What are we waiting for?" She seemed very proud of herself for bringing up the suggestion. I was mighty pleased that she did. "Lead the way." The happiness on her face drained away, and her eyes buried themselves into mine.

"Don't talk to me." I shivered. Jesus Christ. I didn't know Shizuka was capable of holding so much anger in her eyes. "Shall we go then," She asked in a pleasant voice, turning to Takashi who was wide-eyed like myself.

"Y…Yeah."

And in no time we were on our way. I couldn't believe what had just happened. She had…she had said that so coldly. She had been cold to me before but now there was nothing but pure dislike for me it seemed. I looked over when Rei grasped my hand. She smiled and I momentarily relaxed. I leaned down and kissed her hard. She snuggled against me, then pressed her mouth to my jaw. While she was close, she looked me in the eyes."What the hell are those two planning," She whispered, nodding her head towards where Yuki and Taniuchi were. They were whispering amongst themselves. I shrugged.

"It doesn't matter, all that matters is that we're ok. That you're ok." She leaned into me, curling her fingers tightly with mine."

"Come on let's go."

Saya started complaining ten minutes into our little trip. "My feet are so fucking sore," She muttered. Rei and I looked at each other.

"Not used to walking so much Princess," I teased. She rolled her eyes and shrugged.

"There was never a need," She responded. Then she giggled. "Saeko, you can't tell me you're not tired as well, or that you're sore." I laughed and nodded. She got that right. I was exhausted,beyond exhausted. Mentally tired at least, not so much physically. SO much shit had happened in the past days. I was beyond sick of it. The prospect of relaxing in Shizuka's apartment was very much appealing.

"I am really tired, you've got that part right but as someone who has been fit and active their entire life I can't agree with the second half of your statement."

"Ah, shut up asshole."

There was a large amount of undead blocking the front of Shizuka's friends apartment. We blew clear threw them. It was sickening how much I enjoyed killing them. And by the expressions on the others I wasn't the only one with this blood thirst anymore. We had been through too much, seen too much to care about these fuckers. They were dead already, so why hesitate to kill them? That was probably their mentality. I just enjoyed killing in general.

Shizuka was right about a lot of things. The place was huge. And nice. And the fucking car? It was not a car. It was a literal, military jeep covered in smooth armor.

"Wow, it's way too nice here," Taniuchi stated as she peeked inside the apartment, looking around. I agreed full heartedly. How rich was this girlfriend? And how did she get her hands on a fucking tank!? I collapsed onto the ground, rolling around happily on soft carpet. I was quickly joined by Kohta and Takashi. We laughed as we rolled over each other. We began to tease Kohta when the kid couldn't manage to fully make it over us.

"You fuckers," He laughed, "I'm not that fat."

"Are you done rolling around on the carpet Saeko, I want to talk to you," Rei asked. I looked over at her. Her face was serious, but not the bad kind. I wasn't in trouble. That was really all that mattered. I stood up off the floor. Her hand slipped into mine. She was beyond cute. "Come with me…I want to test out one of the bedrooms…" My cheeks turned crimson. Takashi and Kohta gaped, before they burst into a fit of giggles.

"W…where are the other girls anyways?!" I whispered. She smiled.

"The kitchen. They're trying out the booze." I was about to ask if that was really a good idea when she placed my hands on her breasts. "Stop trying to change the subject Saeko."

"I…Isn't it a little too soon," I whispered. Why was I acting like a little pussy!? But for some reason, no matter what I thought, I couldn't force away my stutter or blush. She was far too attractive. "We only just met."

"Saeko. Time doesn't matter anymore! We only have so long to live. Make love to me now. We might not have tomorrow. We might not have a week…" She wasn't to be deterred and I had long-since given up. I allowed her to lead me towards the bedrooms. It had so many bedrooms, it was easy to find one. My eyes widened when we entered a room. Oh God this was seriously happening? I was going to flip I was so excited...she shut the door behind us.

Now that we were alone I was ready. I swept forward, grabbing Rei from around the waist and pulling her close. We kissed hard for a long second, our tongues moving to explore each other. She whimpered against me, and I held her closer. I lifted her slightly, just like that time in the store, and laid her onto her back on the bed. I kissed at her neck. "Hurry up," She whispered, "We don't have that long, we have stuff we need to do."

"Then why would you-" She silenced me with a kiss, grinning. Her hands reached down and she unzipped my uniform pants, pulling me out right after. I groaned harshly, my breath growing unsteady. Her fingers travelled up and down my length, she seemed content to just run her hand along it. I whispered her name with pleasure, before smacking her hand away. I grinned at her as I dropped down to my knees by the side of the bed. I slid her panties down from under her skirt. She got what I intended to do and smacked me.

"No!"

"Shhh, relax, and don't hit me," I grinned. "I want this."

"But…I haven't even taken a bath, it's probably dirty," She muttered, crossing her arms. I rolled my eyes.

"So it's okay for my penis to get dirty, but my tongue is completely out of the picture?" I gazed up at her, smiling playfully "I'm doing it and that's final." I pushed her panties down the remaining length of her legs. She smacked me again. Thankfully it was light. Who was she kidding? She was playfully resisting me. I pushed her legs apart, keeping them wide apart as I inhaled the scent of the area between her legs. Her sex was cleanly shaven and absolutely beautiful. It's scent was quite nice as well. She was blushing furiously. "Relax, I'm just getting you a bit wet so it won't hurt." She ceased resisting.

"But I was already wet," She mumbled. I nosed at her folds.

"I can see that," I muttered pleasantly. She squealed almost angrily but her squeal became a squeak of pleasure when I lapped at her sex. It wasn't dripping wet, but it was a bit damp. It was probably her first time and I didn't want it to be painful at all. I held her legs clear apart as I tasted her. Her honey was sweet and succulent, a tiny bit on the salty side. She tasted delicious in my opinion. She trembled, her hands timidly resting on my head.

"D…Deeper," She mumbled, blushing. I looked up at her and nodded slightly. I added my fingertips, pressing slightly inside her folds and focusing my tongue on her hardened clit. The reaction I got was a good one. She dug her nails into me and pushed me in deeper. I slipped my fingers in and out of her. She was fairly wet now, but I'd feel bad stopping now. "A…Am I wet enough," She whispered, "I don't want to come yet." I sighed with relief, earning a shudder on her end. That made me chuckle a bit. I nodded and stood. I pushed my pants down, along with my boxers. Her eyes rested on my erect cock.

"Are you sure you want to do this Rei?" I asked, pushing my hair back from my forehead, shifting from foot to foot nervously. She nodded.

'You don't have to be too gentle. It's not my first time," Rei murmured.

"W…well, has your hymen been broken," I mumbled, flustered.

"Y...yeah, my ex boyfriend Hisashi broke it." There was a momentary silence. I shifted until I was above her slightly, hands on either side of her head. My knees were on the bed. I hesitated. My length twitched as I lowered it to her own sex. She and I met eyes. I think I honestly loved Rei. Or at least wanted her, badly. I squeezed my eyes shut, then opened them. I stared down at her womanhood, grasped the head of my cock, then began to ease my way inside.

She mewled happily in response, parting her legs a bit more so I slid in easier. I held her hips firmly to guide myself. It felt like her tight channel was sucking me inside. I sunk in inch after inch, my member slowly being wrapped in moisture and heat. This was such a fucking incredible feeling! I glanced at Rei. She seemed to be glowing with approval, her lips in a smile and her eyes twinkling. Her cheeks were a delicious candy red. She was so beautiful.

"You can move," She mumbled, "big girl." I grinned, and did just that.

I tried not to move all that fast at first, panting as I thrust inside her at an even, steady pace. She was so deliciously stretched around me, and she seemed to tighten and suction me as I moved my hips. I leaned down and kissed her as I moved. Her tongue met mine and the pleasurable sensation of being inside her seemed to grow tenfold. I panted. Our tongues met each other again, running together. I pressed my hand to the mattress next to her stomach to steady myself as I moved faster, urged on by the cries of approval falling from her mouth. For a quickie this was pretty good.

I was fast approaching orgasm, and if the way her inner walls were pulsating was anything to go by she was close to coming as well.

I closed my eyes tight.

F…fuck.

I gripped her waist tight, thrusting harder in an attempt to feel better. And oh God it did. I groaned hungrily. "I'm gonna come!" She nodded, holding me around the neck as I hit my peak. My cum came out in streams, dripping inside her girl canal. She squeezed me tight. I was going to make her come as well. I pressed myself deeper, and thrust some more. Just cause I came didn't mean we stopped. I held her breasts in my hands and kneaded them through the cloth, insistently pressing my tongue to hers. She whimpered into my mouth, and that was it. She streamed around my cock, her hot wet girl cum mixed with mine dripping out of her slightly. I tensed, as my orgasm tapered off, and exhaustion set in.

"That was lovely," She murmured, pressing into me. I agreed. We lay together. I tugged my boxers and pants back up, letting out a heavy breath. That had felt way too good... I almost shrieked when the door was ripped open. I jumped.

A familiar blonde and ginger stumbled in, followed closely by a pink-haired Saya. "What the fuck," I threw the blanket over Rei, sitting up. "Normal people knock!" I raised a brow, when I realized they were in an odd state of mind. Were they...drunk?

"How…how could you do this," Shizuka mumbled blearily, pouting. "How could you cheat on me Saeko, I thought you loved me."

"Come take a bath with us Saeko," Yuuki walked over, and then held onto my arm. She began to tug at me.

"Rei made you all dirty," Saya murmured. All three were fucking drunk!? I thought they were having one or two drinks, they were ridiculously smashed. The trio gazed at the blanket. "So we have to clean you," Saya continued, nodding with a frown.

"Get out of here," Rei shrieked. "Now! I'm serious! We'll be out in a bit!"

"This is my house! And I've got...questions, that I need answered," Shizuka mumbled, shaking her head. "Now you shut your little mouth and you listen to my questions and you answer them, 'kay? I just wann' know why don't you love me anymore Saeko, I loved you so much…but all yous ever wanted was everyone else," Shizuka whimpered, "nobody loves me."

"It's bathtimeeee guys," Saya said fiercely.

"Get out of Rei this instant missy or you're grounded," Shizuka stomped her foot.

"We don't mind if we see it ok, so just pull out of her and we can all go to the bath." Yuuki sighed gently. She seemed the most sober out of all of them.

"Yuuki…oh there you are," Taniuchi stepped into the room. She caught sight of Rei and I who were kinda just laying there at this point. "Oh, I'm so sorry, I told them not to drink. Come on girls let's go take a bath."

"Not without our baby girl," Saya burst into hysterics, tears dripping down her cheeks.

"You called her a baby," Shizuka giggled, suddenly not so tearful. "Lezz go to the bathtub girls we don't need stupid psycho Saeko." I scratched the back of my head.

"She'll be coming later, come on," Taniuchi adjusted her glasses as she guided them from the room. I was beyond appreciative.

"Yous promise you'll come later," Saya whimpered.

"I promise," I nodded. She giggled as she walked out of the room with the others. Taniuchi shut the door behind them giving us each an apologetic look. Rei and I looked at each other, before bursting into laughter.

"We probably shouldn't keep them waiting. Go bathe with the girls. I'll go in with the guys."

"You can come with us," Rei beamed. "They can look at your beautiful body, but lord knows they can't touch it." I grinned.

"I love you Rei," I murmured. She grinned.

"And I love you," She kissed me gently, lovingly, "Come on. We should get clean after that" I didn't like the idea of teasing the other girls, but the appeal of seeing them all naked won out if I was to be completely honest.
