Chapter Eleven

Nonoko woke up the next day and found that her friends were sleeping. She stood up and looked around. Koko? Where's Koko? Where are we? She thought. She saw blood near the hole then she approached Yuu. "Iinchou?" she shook him.

Yuu opened his eyes and rubbed it after he took his eyeglasses off. "Nonoko-chan? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine now. I'm planning to make the experiment, Yuu." said Nonoko as she sat beside him. "Was I the only one who slept on the matress?"

"Yeah. Well, except for Hotaru-chan." Yuu sweatdropped.

"Before I forget, where's Koko-kun?" Nonoko asked.

Yuu frowned. "Don't you remember anything?"

"Remember what?" Nonoko was puzzled. "And hey, what's up with that face?"

"What do you remember last thing that happened to you?"

"Uhm... Hmm..." Nonoko thought for a moment. "I remember... When we went inside the house. Where are we?"

"We're on the ceiling. Koko found this opening yesterday."

"Well, where's Koko?"

"..."

"Di-did something happen to him?"

"He wants to tell you something but you were asleep."

"What is it?" Nonoko asked, forgetting her question that needs to be answered.

"He wants us to tell you how much he loves you."

Nonoko blushed. "E-eh?"

Yuu shrugged. "Yeah."

"Well, where is he?" she asked.

"He's... Downstairs."

"Downstairs?!" Nonoko exclaimed then Yuu immediately covered her mouth.

Natsume and Ruka were awoken up by the noise but they remained their eyes closed... But their ears opened. (:D eee :D)

"Shh! Our friends are sleeping!" Yuu hissed.

"I'm sorry..." Nonoko sweatdropped. "But... Did Koko went down when we're asleep and he just told you?"

"Let's just think that's what he did."

"Tell her the truth, Tobita." said Natsume but his eyes were still closed.

"Eh? What truth, Natsume-san?"

"Nonoko-chan..." Yuu covered her mouth for he knew what she's going to do when she hears the news.

Nonoko nodded to signal him that she'll be listening.

Yuu heaved a deep sigh and released it by saying. "Koko's gone."

Nonoko widened her eyes as tears started to stream down her cheeks.

"He was... Bitten when he searched a medicine for you." said Yuu. "He managed to come back here with the medicine and returned downstairs. And these were his words... 'Tell Nonoko-chan how much I love her'..." Yuu lowered his hand. "And... That blood... Was his..." Yuu pointed the blood near the hole.

Nonoko covered her face with her hands and cried quietly.

"Nonoko-chan..."

Nonoko laid her head on Yuu's chest. "I didn't get to tell him that I love him too..."

"Nonoko-chan... I bet he can hear you now..." Yuu tried to smile as he pat Nonoko's back. "I didn't get to tell Anna-chan that I love her as well..." He whispered.

"She loves you too." said Nonoko.

Yuu blushed. "R-really?"

Nonoko faced Yuu and smiled. "Yeah."

"I'm glad to know that!" Yuu smiled back.

Nonoko sat on her heels and said. "We should have told the person we love that we love them before it's too late, ne, Iinchou?"

Natsume opened his eyes. Nonoko's voice echoed to his mind then he looked at Mikan.

On the other side of the room, Ruka also opened his eyes and lowered his head. Ogasawara's right... But at least the one I love is still alive... I should tell her that I love her before it's too late.

***

Everybody was awake and found Nonoko doing the experiment. They gathered around her as Nonoko look at her experiment inside the clear bottle.

"Where did you got the things you need, Nonoko-chan?" asked Mikan.

"Ano... The nearby tree from the window is a mint tree. Iinchou found water awhile ago from someplace then Natsume-san boiled it using his Alice... Iinchou also found salt from one of the tables and..." Nonoko placed the bottle on the table. "Koko's blood..."

Everybody, except Natsume and Hotaru, lowered their head.

Hotaru broke the silence by asking. "How will it work?"

"One gulp would be fine. You can be cured but your life also depends on where the zombie had bitten you. This experiment can only cure zombies' bites... But, if for example, the zombie bit you on the chest where your heart is located... There'll be no more chance to live." said Nonoko.

"Alright then." said Hotaru coldly. "Load your weapons." She grabbed another gun so that each of them are carrying a weapon.

"Ne, Hotaru. Why not use your baka gun instead?" Mikan asked.

Hotaru pointed the baka gun and shot her.

BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!

"Itai, Hotaru!" Mikan whined.

"Baka guns are just for idiots. Zombies aren't idiots because they take their business seriously."

"And what business are those, Imai?" asked Natsume sarcastically.

"Eat living flesh." Hotaru answered coldly.
