Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas guys (although I believe some of you might have already finished celebrating by now but just going to wish you guys anyway!).

This chapter is a bit random but I always pictured the little Giant as someone who would do anything to win and set things right (well in this story I tried to make him a little more like a crow, trying to do anything to survive).

Hope you guys enjoy this!

I don't own the characters.

Kenma woke up to Lev shaking him by the shoulders really hard. He groaned as he checked his watch and he was about to claw Lev on the face for waking him up at around 6am on a Saturday, which was the only day of the week their squad could actually get a good shut eye when Kuroo stepped in between them, his hand pushing Lev to where Yaku was, who hauled him out of the dorm.

"Don't blame the poor guy. He just wanted to break the news."

"What news?"

"Oh, just that the Miyagi base is destroyed and that there is only one surviving squad by far that managed to make contact with us."

Kenma's heard dropped at the thought of Hinata and his squad not surviving the madness of the Miyagi base when Kuroo patted him on the shoulder.

"They made it, don't worry. It's just… there's something fishy about this. Why the hell would they try to experiment on zombies when they knew the risks of it affecting the whole base? I mean, we do the same but in a totally separate facility."

Kenma didn't bother to think about it as he changed and follow the rest of his squad members to the entrance of the dorms where they could see a truck pulling into the base in the sunrise. Hinata's orange hair was visible even as he got down from the truck in the distance and Kenma sucked in a sigh of relief for them being safe.

"Eh, they got adults," Yamamoto muttered as two adult men they had never seen before and were pretty sure didn't belong to the military walked with them onto the base, one of them with blonde hair and the other so short he only outmatched Hinata by a few measly centimeters.

Kenma couldn't shake off the feeling the shorter adult was bad news.

"Yo, Kenma!" Hinata called as he ran and gave him a big hug. Kenma hated physical contact but he'll forgive him for this one. Kuroo gave him a smirk before turning his attention to Tsukishima and Yamaguchi giving both of them a bone crushing hug to the point Yamaguchi looked ready to burst into tears. Yamamoto was bumping fists with Nishinoya and Tanaka as everyone exchanged greetings.

The boys were left to their own devices as the adults were hauled off for questioning and even more advanced screening since they've been out in the open much longer than the others.

"So who are those two? What happened to the guy in charge of you guys?" Kenma asked as Hinata dipped his head, "Chuuya-san lost his life."

"May he rest in peace," Kenma murmured before his eyes fell on the small girl next to Hinata. Must be his sister. Their hair matches.

"I didn't know you have a sister," he muttered as Hinata rubbed his sister's head.

"She just woke up from a coma. Been trying to get used to whats going on but I think she'll be alright."

"But she's just a kid… being thrown into all of this…"

"Well, we're all kids anyway so not like it matters much."

Just then Shimizu came to whisper something into Hinata's ear and he nodded his head before bending down to speak to Natsu, who nodded as she grabbed hold of Shimizu's hand and followed her to where the adults had been taken.

"They just want to run some tests on her," Hinata began when Yamamoto let out a shout.

"Why do you guys have a girl on your team?! That's so not fair!" he howled as Tanaka got into a Buddha zen pose.

"Karasuno is the ultimate squad and therefore we have the best girls."

"Still?!"

Tanaka and Yamamoto began to bicker as Yaku and Suga did their best to pry them apart. Oikawa and Iwaizumi stood apart from the crowd, murmuring in low voices as Iwaizumi nursed his stump of an arm. Kenma had so much to ask Hinata about what had happened but for now, those questions can wait.

"Hey hey hey! Let's get you guys cleaned up!" Bokuto grinned as Akaashi let out a low groan.

"Akaashi-san, we haven't been told on what to do with them yet."

"But we can't just leave them standing here covered with dirt!"

"Alright! Alright! You guys settle down!" A guy in his midtwenties approached the group and all of the Tokyo squad stood in attention as he waved his arm.

"Get them to the showers and give them a proper meal after that. We'll have a debriefing with them later once they've settled in."

"Sir ye, sir!"

…

"So, Ichiro Noroi. Student at Waseda University, Tokyo, majoring in sports science. In your final year and due to graduate in three month when you returned to your hometown of Miyagi and the virus outbreak happened. Didn't report to any military base and instead chose to take care of your infected parents until they finally turned and you had no choice but to kill them yourself. Been spending the next six months on your own, scavenging and surviving as best you can. Got that right so far, right?"

Ichiro's eyes made the officer squirm in his seat as he put down the datafile and sighed, pinching his nose.

"I don't know what we're going to do with you. Most people on this base are military personnel who weren't outside when the virus spread out and the others being students. For all we know, you could be a carrier of the virus and might infect us all so we have no choice but to eject you from the base."

Ichiro had a smirk on his face as the officer finished as he crossed his arms, putting his booted feet on the table.

"So let me get this straight, you said that the only people to get infected by the virus in the first place are those who were outside and once they got infected and turned into zombies, they started to infect everyone else. This is starting to sound like it was something that was engineered to wipe out just about everyone. Now tell me, how did you manage to get so lucky in not being out there when it struck?"

The officer began to tremble in his seat, not wanting to say anything more. This man was dangerous, he could actually be able to find out the reason why everything happened in the first place.

There was a flash of steel and the officer was against the wall, a knife at his throat as Ichiro licked his lips.

"I can kill you right here and now, but that wont do any justice to those who have died. Now, would you be so kind to tell me just what the hell happened six months ago?"

"I don't know, I swear!"

"Someone, save me!" The officer thought.

"Oh don't bother shouting for help. You made a mistake bringing me into the base. I've been searching for the reason why the virus started to spread. Why did it appear? Why were the military so quick in forming safe zones and didn't do anything to cure the infected? Why leave most of the adults to rot?"

Ichiro's knife kissed the man's throat, blood dribbling from the wound as Ichiro whispered, "Why don't you be good and spill the beans? I want to get to the bottom of this shit mystery soon or else…" his eyes flashed, a predator already zoning in for the kill, "I might just have to eat you alive."

Ohh hope that made sense.

So just a bit of a recap, the virus happened out of the blue and just about anyone could get infected but if you remembered, the military quickly formed safe zones to bring in the uninfected. I always thought of how to end this story in an interesting way so hope that the secret to why the virus outbreak happened in the first place is a good way to do so.

Merry Christmas and have a happy New Year!
