Surviving the Undead
Chapter 14: Kuonji's Lab
Normal P.O.V
"Is the helicopter ready?" Mikan asked in her walkie talkie as she carried loaded up her gun.
"Yes" Hotaru annswered.
"Let's get going then.." Mikan took a deep breath and walked outside. With one last glance at the mansion, she ran to the woods far away from the mansion where they won't hear the helicopter. As soon as she arrived in the clearing with her backpack settled on her back, Mikan entered the helicopter.
"Ready?" she breathed from the driver's seat, Hotaru nodded and Ruka settled at the back.
She started the helicopter and flew off.
A few couple of hours later, Mikan spotted the Sakura Science Building, her family's science building. She looked at the rooftop and found it empty, no zombies at all. She slowly landed the helicopter on the rooftop and turned it off. She looked at the back where Hotaru and Ruka are then nodded. She took her katana and opened her door slowly and quietly. She looked around the area for any zombies, and when she spotted none, she motioned for Hotaru and Ruka to follow.
Hotaru and Ruka came out of their seats then followed Mikan to the door on the rooftop to enter the building. Mikan looked at the two. "Well... this is it" she took a deep breath and kicked the door open.
In Sakura Mansion...
A silver haired boy with green eyes stood wide eyed holding a letter on his hand.
"Youichi? What's wrong?" Aoi asked bothered at why Youichi looked wide eyed. Youichi didn't say anything and just handed her the letter. Aoi read the letter and she herself became wide eyed. Instead of just standing she ran outside of the room and started waking up everyone with her loud yell.
"Minna! Wake up!"
Everyone was surprised and looked at Aoi worriedly, thinking that a zombie has entered or something has happened to Natsume. Everyone went to the living room and sat down (Aoi has to drag Youichi to the room).
"What's wrong Aoi chan?" Anna asked.
"Yeah, what's wrong? I was having my beauty sleep" Sumire and Luna said at the same time, the two looked at each other and grinned.
"This is serious!" Aoi yelled. "Hotaru, Ruka, and Mikan chan went to get the cure!" she yelled. Everyone froze, especially for Natsume who believed that Mikan would never lie to him, but she did.
Nami stared at her wide eyed, and then she started crying. Aoi looked at Nami sadly and ushered Nami back to her room.
Natsume snapped out of it first and weakly stood up. "Youichi, is there another helicopter?" he asked frantically. Youichi stared at him for a while then shook his head. Natsume cursed under his breath then headed for the door. Before he can even open the door, Tsubasa grab a hold of his arm.
"I don't think its a good idea, Natsume" he said quietly with sadness visible in his eyes.
"WHY THE HELL NOT?!"
"WHY DON'T YOU FUCKING THINK ABOUT IT! Your smart aren't you?" Tsubasa yelled, saying the last four words softly.
Natsume thought about it. If I go and try to save her I'll just make it more difficult. But I have to save her, *sigh* I'm also to weak to help her. I can ask Tsubasa! But Mikan won't be happy. I can't do anything, except one thing. I'll kill myself if she dies because she is everything to me. Natsume shook Tsubasa's hand off and walked back to his room with his bangs covering his eyes to cover any emotion showing.
In Kuonji's Lab... (Mikan's P.O.V)
I looked around and I spotted something strange. The bookshelf was a bit tilted to the side. I ran over and looked underneath it, only to find a key and a note. I took both items and stood up.
"Hotaru! Ruka! I found something!" I yelled softly, careful not to attract any zombies. In three seconds they were there. After they positioned themselves on both of my sides I opened the note.
My Dearest Miyako,
I am so happy you have found this note. The cure is in my room. There's a ring in my drawer, find it. When you find it, there's a similar pattern on the side of my bookshelves. Press it, it will reveal a hidden compartment where I hid all the cures. Please help me... this is the only way I can help after my second biggest mistake in my life. My biggest mistake was leaving you for work, I am very sorry my love.
Love,
Kuonji
I smiled sweetly and looked at the sky. "They're together again. I'm so happy" I thought. Then my face turned serious and I walked to Kuonji's room. We rummaged through all his drawer until Hotaru found the ring. I went to one side of the long bookshelf and Ruka went to the other. It took just for a few seconds, and I found it.
It was a snake surrounding a heart, but the heart seems like its too bright for the snake. Like the heart somehow can overpower his venom.
I took the ring from Hotaru and pressed it to the wall.
The wall shook and the whole bookshelves slid down. Revealing...
nothing...
