Chapter Ten

Screams of Cold Agony

After the trio had fled the school in search for new weapons or just to get away from the hordes of zombies, they were beginning to get tired. Obviously, it's been hours since they've been walking and they have not found anything useful yet.

"I'm tired!" Tamaki whined, flailing his arms around in an immature manner.

"Tamaki-senpai, we'll get to where we want soon," said Haruhi.

"There are just some things I'll never know and I'd have to let them go," Tamaki mumbled to himself, crossing his arms together.

They were walking in the city of Tokyo. All the cars, buildings, and more were all abandoned. Nothing remained except the manmade buildings, cars. The sky was cloudy, all grey and smoke let from the abandoned buildings. It was quiet and the whole place was trashed. Lifeless bodies lay all around the ground and cars. Vehicles crashed into buildings or other things. It was a pure wreck.

After several more minutes, only a few footsteps were heard. Haruhi stopped and turned around. Nothing. Nothing was there but herself and Tamaki. Tamaki stopped and turned to look at Haruhi. "What's wrong?"

Haruhi looked up at Tamaki and said, "Where's Kyoya-senpai?"

Tamaki's eyes jumped and he looked around the dead city, searching for any sign of the boy. "Now that you said that, I haven't seen him for a few minutes. I wonder where he went off to."

Haruhi shrugged her shoulders. Suddenly, the noise of glass shattering was heard. The two immediately turned their heads to where the source came from and ran over to it. When the two found it, they were in an alley. Haruhi approached closer, but Tamaki took the lead and entered the broken door that seemed as it was smashed open. Tamaki rounded the corner and readied his gun. He turned into the corner and into the door to find Kyoya.

"Kyoya?" Tamaki questioned, relieving Haruhi.

Kyoya turned his head to look at the two in the doorway and smiled. He motioned his hand for the two to come in, and they did as said. "I found a gun room. Look."

Both Haruhi and Tamaki looked around in wonder. Who would've imagined a gun shop would be hiding out in an alley of the darkest part of the city, Tokyo?

Suddenly, an idea popped up in Haruhi's head. "I have an idea!" she exclaimed.

"Haruhi, don't leave!" Tamaki and Kyoya shouted out in unison, but it was too late; she had already left the building in order to do… whatever she wanted to do. The two sighed and looked at each other, confused.

As Tamaki looked at Kyoya, he turned his gaze to something behind him and he smiled brightly, and as bright as anyone. "Kyoya."

"What is it, Tamaki?" Kyoya questioned. He turned around to find what Tamaki was looking at. When he finally noticed, he, too, smiled. Kyoya looked in amazement as Tamaki ran over to the overly large machine gun that sat in the corner of the room. "Is that what I think it is…?"

Tamaki nodded his head and caressed the rim of the machine. He continued to smile and examine every part of the object. He turned to look at Kyoya and nodded his head. "What do you think, Kyoya?"

Kyoya shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you want to. I mean… should I gather the ammo up?"

Suddenly, loud noises began to rumble outside of the building. Haruhi came into the building, smiling. "Hey, I'm back."

"What were you doing?" Kyoya asked.

"Oh, I was doing nothing. I just went a block or two and I found a truck in this car store they have in the city," Haruhi explained. She looked behind Kyoya and found the machine gun. "Hey, do you thi-"

"Yes!" both boys exclaimed. Haruhi giggled and walked outside.

"I'll be waiting for you two then," she said before exiting the building. Both Tamaki and Kyoya looked at each other and nodded their heads, knowing what to do next.


"Hey, Kyoya, are you sure about this?" Tamaki asked from the driver seat. Apparently, what took forever without being disturbed by anything unusual, both Tamaki and Kyoya somehow managed to heave the large machinegun onto the back of the truck. After that long while, Kyoya suggested that Tamaki should drive and Haruhi should just shoot from her window. And so, the trio agreed. But now Tamaki was feeling hesitant about this.

Kyoya looked by the window, still holding the grip handles in his hand. "Yes, Tamaki. I'm sure about this."

Tamaki nodded his head and turned his gaze to Haruhi, who sat next to him in the truck. "Are you ready, Haruhi?"

"Let's do this," she confirmed, nodding her head. Tamaki gave a smile and started the engine of the truck. Tamaki drove out of the alley and into the streets of dead Tokyo. It was nice and pleasant, except for all the snow that was now covering the ground and the dead, old bodies that lay all around the streets – every corner they lay, not moving, just empty, lifeless bodies.

After several minutes, nothing. For another few minutes, there was nothing out there until Haruhi shouted, "Tamaki, stop the truck!"

Immediately, Tamaki stopped the truck, but took a while, considering the roads her getting a little icy. "What is it?" he asked once the truck came to a stop.

Haruhi turned to her side and opened the door and jumped out. She closed the door behind her and ran to an abandoned shop.

Kyoya grunted in annoyance and jumped off the back of the truck. He turned to Tamaki who stood by him and asked, "What's wrong with Haruhi?"

Tamaki shrugged his shoulders and began following Haruhi into the abandoned shop. Kyoya, too, followed his friends. Once the two males entered the shop, Haruhi smiled. "Hey, Tamaki-senpai, Kyoya-senpai, come here. Here are some clothes for you. Winter is coming, right?"

This took some thought. Tamaki nodded his head and walked over to Haruhi, who handed him a pair of winter clothes. Not very pleasant, but worth a shot. After the three changed separately into their new clothes for the winter, they exited the clothes store and walked back out and into the truck, which still seemed to run. The trio got into the vehicle and continued to drive down the streets. Fortunately, it stopped snowing. It was good news, considering Kyoya had to stay out in the cold, while Haruhi and Tamaki got to stay in something warm.

Suddenly, the truck came to a stop, almost making Kyoya fall off. He sighed and shouted, "Tamaki, what the hell are you doing?" He slammed the rooftop of the truck and turned around to see hordes of zombies running their way. It was terrible, really. And something was unusual about it too. As Kyoya looked closer, he could see something bigger than all the zombies that surrounded it.

The large, monstrous creature with a black coating coverings its head. In its hand, it had a large weapon. It had needles and all sorts of dangerous and sharp stuff all connected to the weapon. Around the neck area were needles dug deep into its foul flesh. Around it – its waist were many other weapons. It was odd. And its body that was foul, tall, muscular and terrifying, blood poured everywhere from it – real, actual blood - but it never seemed to weaken. Never.

Tamaki looked at Haruhi. Haruhi nodded her head and opened her window. She grabbed the machine rifle and began shooting at the crowd of lifeless bodies. Tamaki shifted the gears and began driving backwards. Once at an opening, Tamaki shifted the gears once more and began to drive forward in order to escape the zombies.

Kyoya loaded the machine gun and he, too, began to shoot at every zombie running their way. He continued to shoot, no matter what it took. It was too horrifying, but he knew he had to do it. For the life of their future. It was a matter of time before…

"Shit!" Tamaki shouted. He tried to turn the wheel to dodge the large monstrous figure that appeared before his eyes again, but was too late. The figure was different, much bigger than the other one. It was more horrifying than anything in the world. Tamaki turned the wheel sharply, making the truck flip over multiple times. As Haruhi held her ground, she closed her eyes as the seatbelt around her held her secure.

But unfortunately, this wasn't Kyoya's lucky day. As the truck flipped once, Kyoya was flown out from the back and landed by a car that hit his ribs. Once he landed, blood coming and pouring from the wounds, he closed his eyes tightly, holding his ribcage with his hand. He squinted his eyes open slightly and saw the truck flip. He closed them again and turned over. He moaned as the pain shot through his body.

"What the hell was that?" he mumbled. He opened his eyes again and turned his head to see the truck badly wrecked and the machine gun that fell out was by the enormous zombie. Kyoya flipped his body over again and got on his knees. He flinched from the pain. He looked up once he heard voices. He turned his gaze to the truck and sees Tamaki jumping out from the truck.

Tamaki jumped out of the truck and landed on his feet swiftly. He slowly climbed back in, but not enough for him to fall back in. He smiled softly at the sight of Haruhi slowly standing up. He extended his hand out and Haruhi grabbed it. Tamaki helped pull Haruhi out and now the two were finally out of the truck and standing healthy. But the big problem was that the two had major scars on their arms, legs, everywhere. But it isn't enough to badly injure them.

"Are you alright, Haruhi?" Tamaki questioned. Haruhi looked up at him and nodded, but turned her gaze away immediately when something caught her eyes. Her eyes went huge and she ran over to Kyoya, who laid on the ground, in pain.

"Kyoya-senpai, are you alright?" she asked worriedly as she examined the damage on his ribcage. Kyoya opened his eyes to see Tamaki following behind Haruhi. He smiled at the sight and slowly nodded his head.

"Can you help me up?" he asked. Haruhi and Tamaki nodded and the two helped Kyoya up onto his feet.

"Are you able to stand on your own?" Tamaki questioned as he held his friend's shoulder. Kyoya nodded his head, smiling softly.

"Yes, I'm able to stand on my own – thanks," said Kyoya. Suddenly, a horrifying, deathly scream was heard, turning the trio's attention behind them. Their eyes rested on the large beast. Kyoya clenched his hands and pushed Tamaki and Haruhi forward. "Go! Go into that building over there, now!"

"What?" said Haruhi. She looked at the place Kyoya pointed out and shrieked of going in the dark. She turned her gaze back at the large creature, which was inching closer to them second by second.

"Go, now! Tamaki, take Haruhi to that abandoned old building and hide. I'll create a diversion so you two can escape," Kyoya instructed. He pushed the two with his hands with all his strength once more. He fell onto his knees. He moaned in pain, but ignored it.

Tamaki's heartbeat beat faster with ever second. He got down onto his knees and clenched Kyoya's shoulders in his hands. "Kyoya, we're not going to leave you! Do you hear me? You're going to live, and not die!"

"Tamaki, there's no damn point in saving a dying person's life! I'm going to die and you two need to live! Now go!" Kyoya shouted. He pulled the pistol from his pocket he got from the gun store and aimed it at his best friend, Tamaki. "Now go with Haruhi or I'll shoot you, Tamaki."

At this, Tamaki gasped and got on his knees. He grabbed Haruhi's hand and walked slowly.

Kyoya glared at Tamaki, but fell onto his stomach. He groaned in pain and turned around slowly. He pointed the gun upward and looked at Tamaki. "Go!" He turned the gun into a different direction and towards the horrid zombie. Kyoya slowly stood up, trying his best to endure the pain that shot through him. The zombie inched closer. Closer. Closer…


"Haruhi, we have to go!" Tamaki shouted in a whisper. He and Haruhi were almost inside the building, but Haruhi refused to go.

"No, I'm not losing another friend!" she shouted, louder than intended to. She growled and bit Tamaki's arm. Tamaki pulled his arm back in time and picked up Haruhi. He sighed.

Inside the building was wrecked. Wrecked. It was the word that continued to flow into Tamaki's head. His life was wrecked. But why should it matter now that he's living his life a runaway? The building was wrecked, too. Glass shattered, furniture knocked to the floor and broken into pieces, bodies laying on the ground, blood splattered in every corner, parts of flesh scattered around the floor. Also, dust was everywhere. It was just too deadly out in this unnamed war. It seemed to go unnotced. Was this happening every place Tamaki could think of? Or was it just Tokyo?

"I'm sorry, Haruhi. But this if for the best," he mumbled. He carried Haruhi deeper into the building. Several seconds later, Tamaki sat down in a corner and also put Haruhi down. Haruhi sat in front of Tamaki, in his arms. Tamaki covered Haruhi's mouth with his bare hand. He held her close. Soon, so suddenly, gunshots were heard from a distance.

Bang!

Tamaki held Haruhi tighter and soon felt tears dripping onto his hands. Haruhi. Kyoya.

Bang!

Haruhi let out a sob of silence but tried not to let it all out. At this, Tamaki felt more wet drops drop onto his hand. The tears were dropping more intense, and it was odd. As Tamaki leaned his head back on the rugged wall, he sighed so softly that he, himself couldn't hear it. He closed eyes as he felt tears stream down his own cheeks. Suddenly, the sound of growls were heard. The sound of smashing, trashing, anything unthinkable was heard, but no screams of agony didn't come forth.

Bang!

The last shot was heard. Tamaki knew how many rounds Kyoya had, and he only had four in his pistol. Kyoya only had one more shot left. And there it came…

Bang!

Suddenly, a louder crash was heard and the sound of screaming – the sound of agony, was heard. It was terrifying. Haruhi broke down in Tamaki's arms and more fresh tears streamed from her blood-shot eyes. More. More. More!

Tamaki closed his eyes tightly as he heard more pains of agony come from the outside world. Shouts, screams, terrible screams were heard until…

"Kyoya!" Haruhi screamed into Tamaki's hand, but it was barely audible. The sounds of blood painting the walls were heard. Clearly and vividly. In their own minds they could imagine the horrifying scene of blood splattering the walls and the creature murdering Kyoya right on the spot.

At this point, no more screams were heard – it was just the sounds of Haruhi's sobs and Tamaki's light breathing. The sound of the earthquake-like footsteps slowly subsided as the minutes pressed on the clock.

Good luck on your journey, and have a safe trip, Kyoya. Have a good life, and… thank you for teaching me so many things, Kyoya Otori, Tamaki thought as he felt his tears stream down his cheeks once more. He closed his eyes and held Haruhi closer. He soon felt Haruhi's sobs grow less violent, as he felt he was starting to sob.
