Chapter 12:- Fallen Crew

Opening: Zoetrope - Yanagi Nagi

-As the Kaito's investigation group were scavenging for more supplies, they came across a university as there was a sign on the wall that said "Saint Isidore University", they were curious of the university as they tried to enter through the front entrance but the path was blocked, they then turned to their backs and noticed a herd of walkers were heading their way, Takashi quickly drove the Humvee near the wall as the others along with Takashi climbed up onto the Humvee and jumped over the wall, though as soon as the jumped down, shots were fired as someone started shooting at the group as Kurumi, Saeko and Kaito then use their weapons to deflect their bullets and protect the others-

Kaito: Tsk! Survivors! Here of all places!

Yuuri: K-Kai-kun!

Kaito: -He turned to Yuuri as he noticed that Yuuri was being shot and her arms were bleeding as it seemed like she got hit- Yuuri! -Kaito panicked at the sight of Yuuri getting hurt- Saeko, Kurumi, Takashi! Charge in and knock them out but do not kill them! Kohta, back them up from the rear, Saya, be Kohta's support! -The others did as they were told as Kaito quickly withdrew his short swords as he then turned off the safety on his Auto Shotgun as he quickly took it out and aimed at the man who was constantly shooting at Yuuri, Kaito then shot a shell at the man as the bullet spread nearly hit the man who was shooting as Kaito scared him off, Kaito then ran to Yuuri and checked up on her and realised that her wound on her arm was not severe and that he noticed there were plastic pellets on the ground- ...Airsoft bullets? A-Are you all right?

Yuuri: J-Just a scratch, I-I'm fine..What about you?

Kaito: I'm not hurt but let's take it slowly, okay? We need disinfectant, plastic may cause an infection.

Yuuri: R-Right..

Takashi: Put the gun down!

Male: No! You put it down!

Takashi: I will shoot you!

Male: Try me, kid!

-Kaito and Yuuri turned the corner as Yuuri aimed her pistol with her free arm at the male while Kaito was using one arm to hold onto Yuuri as he aimed his Shotgun at the male's head-

Kaito: You know that this isn't a fake gun and that yours is fake, now drop your weapon or I will fire.

Male: N-No, you can't make me. B-Besides! You're just a kid! You don't have the guts!

Kaito: Want a bet?

-A girl shouted from afar as a short teenage girl with slightly messy, straight light purple hair, which curls at the tip, with her bangs framing her forehead. She has piece of her hair tied long braid that hangs off her left shoulder and light blue eyes calling out to the groups that were about to kill each other-

Touko: What is the meaning of this? What the hell?!

Male: They came in!

Touko: You don't say?! But did you have to fire?!

Male: It was for self defence! What if they attacked me first?!

Touko: Don't be such a girl and just go!

Male: O-Okay.. -The male left as the girl then stood in front of the group and looked up at everyone-

Kaito: You must be the leader?

Touko: Well...In a way, yes! Yes I am! I am Deguchi Touko! Club president of the Fallen Crew Club! It's a pleasure to meet y'all!

Kaito: I do not like the situation we are in, it seems as if you are lying to us by acting innocent. I'll get rid of your misery. -He pointed his shotgun at Touko as Kohta and Takashi aimed their guns at her head while Saeko and Kurumi pointed their weapons at Touko. Touko then panicked as she got afraid that she might get killed until Yuuri stopped everyone-

Yuuri: W-Wait! Wait! W-We should at least let her show us what she's capable of and what is this place..

Kaito: Well..If Yuuri says so then I guess we should at least consider that..

Saeko: Agreed, besides, I don't like getting my sword dirty, I always have to clean it and I find it a hassle.

Kurumi: I have the same feeling whenever I have to clean my shovel, it's hard to get rid of blood stains.

Takashi: It'll be a waste of ammunition to kill her anyway.

Kohta: She's so small too, a single shot would've been enough to kill her.

Touko: Y-You guys are rather mean..

Yuuri: T-They're like this whenever they don't get a chance to kill something that they think is a threat, though I apologise that they threatened you.

Touko: N-No! Not at all! I-It's actually quite normal since we live in a world like this now..

Yuuri: A-Ah, I'm sorry, I'm Wakasa Yuuri, this is Ichikawa Kaito-kun, Busujima Saeko-san, Ebisuzawa Kurumi, Hirano Kohta, Takagi Saya and Komuro Takashi-kun. We're friends and we're in the same group.

Touko: That's nice to know! I'll show you around, I would've introduced you to my friends but uh...They're doing their own things now and are busy..

Yuuri: I see..

-Kaito then looked at Kurumi and spoke out to her-

Kaito: Hey, Kurumi. Are you all right?

Kurumi: Huh? Y-Yeah, I'm fine..Just fine..

Kaito: After you got rid of Ishiki yesterday, you've been acting weird, what's wrong?

Kurumi: N-Nothing, just a little tired..

Kaito: When we get back home, I want you to rest as much as you can, okay? You deserve a day or two off of scavenging.

Kurumi: T-Then who will support the team?

Kaito: I'll ask Rei if she's okay with following us, but I want you to rest when we get back, okay?

Kurumi: O-Okay.. Thank you, Kai-kun. -She said with a smile on her face as she was blushing slightly while she held onto her shovel tightly-

-Touko then brought them all into a room that was filled with books and toys from animes and figurines along with posters from movies, Touko sat down on her bean bag as she took out a PSP from her pocket and smiled at everyone-

Touko: Oh, we have a medkit right behind the door, make use it of it for her wounds.

Kaito: Thank you. -Kaito and Yuuri sat down as Kaito was patching Yuuri's arm up-

Takashi: We'll go search around to see if there is anything.

Kaito: Right. I'll join you in a minute.

Yuuri: Me too. Kurumi? What about you?

Kurumi: I'll stay here for a while.

Kaito: She needs to rest, let's let her take some time off for awhile.

Yuuri: Well.. All right. -Moments later after they left, Kurumi and Touko were left alone in the club room. There is an awkward silence between the two but Touko adverted her attention to her game while Kurumi was sitting on the floor and was leaning on the wall as she held her shovel-

Touko: Hey.

Kurumi: Hmm?

Touko: Do you know a girl under the name "Ishiki Haruna"? -Kurumi's eyes widened as she quickly got up and pointed her pistol right at Touko's head but Touko did not seem afraid as she just looked up at Kurumi with the strongest glare given- So you do know her, huh?

Kurumi: I've heard of her but never seen her!

Touko: You're shaking and you're afraid. So you were the one that killed her then. I'm surprised you could kill her.

Kurumi: What are you talking about?

Touko: It would've been impossible for someone like to properly kill her. You'll only kill when you're enraged but will not kill otherwise.

Kurumi: -She turned off the safety on her pistol and aimed right at Touko's head- Be quiet or I will shoot..!

Touko: Hmph! -She took out a military knife from her back as she then slashed at Kurumi but Kurumi took a few steps back to avoid getting caught- Haruna-chan was the pride of the Fallen Crew and was the strongest, though she was the youngest amongst everyone else! She was the absolute cutest too! Now that you killed her, I don't know what I'll do with myself now!

Kurumi: How would you know that I killed her?! What if it was someone else?!

Touko: "Look out for a girl in twin tails, she also carries a shovel around her and is always closed with a male with two swords around him." Those were the last words that Haruna-chan told everyone else, now that you came here, I'll avenge her by sticking your head on a pike!

Kurumi: -Kurumi took a shot as she fired a bullet at Touko to slow her down as Kurumi then ran out of the room to find the others, she then heard shouting, screaming and gunshots from a distance. As Kurumi was running, she looked out at the courtyard and notice that there were bodies laying on the grass as she then stopped running as she looked up above at the other floors that was in front of her and noticed that Kaito and the others were killing everyone in sight- W-What are you doing?!

Saya: They are Ishiki's supporters! The Fallen Crew! They all tried to kill us! W-Wait a minute..Then that means- -Saya gasped loudly at the sight as she then yelled out loudly- Behind you! -Kurumi turned to her back and quickly dodged Touko's stab as Kurumi then ran while Touko chased after Kurumi- T-Takashi! Kaito! Kohta! We need to help Kurumi!

Kaito: What is it?!

Saya: Touko is chasing after her and she's not fighting back!

Kaito: What?! Tsk! I've got to take care of the other supporters, Yuuri, stay here and do not go anywhere, Saya, Saeko, take care of Yuuri and hold this position, Takashi, assist me in eradicating these heretics!

Takashi: Gotcha!

Kaito: Kohta! Save Kurumi!

Kohta: You can count on me! -Kohta ran to Kurumi as Kaito and Takashi ran to the other rooms to find the remaining supporters-

-As Kohta was running to find Kurumi, he then saw Touko as he quickly took out his nailgun and fired a shot at Touko's leg as he slowed her down-

Kohta: Kurumi-san! This way!

Kurumi: R-Right! -She ran as fast as she could to Kohta and ran passed him and went up the stairs to meet up with Yuuri and the others as Kohta aimed his weapon at Touko but the short girl took the nail out of her leg and stood up as she then took out another knife from her pocket and then ran towards Kohta. Kohta reacted quickly as he fired two shots at Touko's legs as she fell down, Kohta then aimed his nailgun at Touko's head and fired, thus killing her, Kohta then quickly turned back and ran back upstairs to meet up with the others, a few seconds after Kohta ran upstairs, Touko's body was twitching slightly as she was slowly getting up and her grey eyes were slowly turning green-

Yuuri: We must go.

Saeko: What about the others?

Kohta: I'll let Takashi and Kai know!

Kurumi: We need to get out of here! Now!

Saya: W-What?! Why?! There's tons of supplies here to steal!

Kurumi: We're not facing normal people, we're facing something else.

Saya: W-What are you talking...About..? -She was looking behind Kurumi as she then noticed Touko was walked towards the group after walking up the stairs as there was a hole in the middle of Touko's forehead-

Touko: You will all pay for this..
