Ten minutes, since the group of teenage survivors had finally escaped Fujimi Academy. Some kids were gazing through the window, Keiko was sleeping, Saeko was cleaning her wooden katana with a cloth, Hirano was duck taping his nail gun together. Everyone was almost silent.
Morita decided to break the silence and sighed in relief. "Holy shit. We made it out alive."
Koichi Shidou then walked over to Saeko's seat. "Thank god we did. I take it that you brought this group together and was appointed leader?" Shido asked.
"There's no such thing. We just banded together and did what we could to escape." Saeko responded.
Shidou looked at her with sneaky cynical yellow eyes. "That's not good. In order to survive, we'll definitely need a leader. A leader who bears everything. With valor and with confidents."
'What the hell's with this guy?' Daisuke stared at Shidou with caution as he kept yammering on about needing a leader.
"I told you that you'll regret even saving him." Rei leaned over to Takashi with a serious face and repeated herself.
"Hey, look at the city!" a student yelled.
Everyone turned and looked at the view of Tokonosu city through the bus windows and was horrified.
Keiko awoke from her nap. "Hey, what's going on?" she asked while rubbing her eyes and looked out the window. She gasped as she saw the view Tokonosu city.
The city was now in smoke. There were a few buildings on fire, a group of them started roaming the streets, some of them were busy chasing screaming people, some of them were tearing their victims apart and there were those fighting back on the streets to defend themselves and kill as much of them as they could.
Tsunoda couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted. "Ah! It's pointless! We have to go back!"
"What?"
Everyone except for Shizuka who was driving forward had turned their attention to the whining Tsunoda, who made it with Shidou's group suddenly got up and tried to reconsider of going back to the school.
"It's only dangerous if we keep going! First of all, why do we have to go with Komuro and the others? You guys are the ones who decided to go to the city! Wouldn't it have been better if we just hid and barricaded ourselves inside of the school, or something?!" Tsunoda brought up a good point.
Suddenly Yamada stood up. "I agree. Tsunoda's right, you know… We should go back and-"
Daisuke cut off Yamada. "So, you rather and go back and face that hell all over again? If you didn't want to leave, why did you even get on the bus with us?"
"Tch!" Tsunoda grunted and became irritated after hearing Daisuke's words. "What, you got a problem with me!?"
As Shizuka kept driving, she started to become more and more irritated from hearing the argument. She looked through the front glass window and saw a helicopter on her right side. The helicopter had a few people hanging on the helicopter's landing skids and one of them just fell right off into the water. Shizuka gasped. She couldn't stand watching the person fall to their death, so she grunted and turned her head to another direction.
"Marikawa-sensei!" Rei yelled.
Shizuka then decided to put her foot on the breaks causing the entire bus to jerk and stop. Shizuka then took off of her seatbelt and turned to the others behind her. "Okay everyone, that's enough!"
Tsunoda couldn't help but stare at Shizuka's hanging bosoms. 'W-whatever.' He then noticed some people were glaring at him. "W-what the hell are you looking at!"
"Alright, why don't you tell us what you wanna do?" Saeko asked.
Tsunoda grunted towards Saeko. He pointed at Takashi and then Daisuke. "I hate these two guys! I hate them both! They're only making it worst for all of us!"
Kohta started to get annoyed and tried to stand up, but only to be stopped by Saya. "Not yet." She muttered.
"What, you got a problem with me!" he yelled.
"No, but it's seems like you got a problem me. I never done anything to you." Daisuke spoke.
"You know what, screw this!" Tsunoda suddenly tried to charge at Daisuke, but Rei stepped in and punched Tsunoda in the face with a right hook, then kicked between his knees. He muffled as he fell down and clutched onto his face. "Aargh." Some people were surprised to see Rei react and left gaughing. Some were not surprised.
"Shut up and sit down!" Rei glared at the groaning Tsunoda.
"Rei-chan?" Daisuke silently questioned as she suddenly protected him.
"Yes, Daisuke-kun?" she asked while smiling.
Saya suddenly cringed and gripped her fist. 'Rrgh! If she really think she could win over Daisuke-kun just by pulling that stunt off, she has another thing coming!'
For an instant, there was a moment between Daisuke and Rei, until that short moment was ruined by teacher Shidou, who suddenly got up and start clapping.
"What a sight. Bravo." Shidou stepped over Shidou.
"Grrgh!" Rei growled at Shidou.
"Nakamura-kun. Miyamoto-san. It's good to see some outstanding teamwork."
'What teamwork? All Rei-chan did was punch him in the face.' Daisuke thought as he looked at Shidou.
"However, at any rate. To prevent anymore fights like this from breaking out, I think we should do something about it. We need a leader." Shidou suggested.
'And here we go with this leader stuff. Where does this smartass get off with this?' Saya thought.
"Surely, neither of you want that difficult task." Shidou acted slick.
"You don't know that." Rei replied.
Saya pressed her glasses close to her face. "Let me guess, you want to be the leader?"
As soon as Shidou turned his head to Saya, she instantly turned away. "I'm a teacher, Takagi-san. I have the degrees and most of you are barely in your teens. I'm the only one qualified." He then turned to those in the back. "While just moments ago, I saved all of these brave students."
'This guy's a psychopath.' Daisuke, Rei, Takashi, Saeko and Saya thought to themselves.
"So, what do you all say, everyone? If you think I should be leader, then clap for me." Shidou suggested.
Tsunoda got up from the floor and agreed to the idea. All of a sudden, the two girls Taniuchi and Kawamoto stood up and clapped for Shidou. Then it was att least ten more more students he supposedly saved had clapped as well.
Yuuki struggled to make up her mind either to clap for track coach or not. 'I really want to clap for Shidou-sensei, but is it really appropriate? I mean… we did band together and escape after all.' Yuuki looked up only to see Daisuke slightly shaking his head no.
Yuuki got the message and decided not to clap for him. 'Alright. I won't clap… for Daisuke-kun!' Toshimi decided not to clap for Shidou because she feels like she owes Daisuke everything.
Tomomi was thinking about getting up, but Morita stopped him at the last second. "Don't do it. It's a trick." He muttered.
"But, he's our senior. Don't we have to listen to our teachers?" Tomomi asked.
"I know, but this guy. Something's off about him. I can't put my finger on it, but I advise you not to trust this guy." Morita whispered.
"Alright. I guess I'll go and keep an eye on him." Tomomi whispered back.
Saeko saw Keiko about to raise both her hands and she grabbed one of them. "Don't clap for Shidou."
"How come?"
"There's just something off about that guy. Daisuke-kun warned me to protect you from the likes of him."
"Oh, okay." Keiko lowered her hands then looked out of the window.
Shidou suddenly started posing as if he was acting. "It's been decided now. The majority has now decided that I am the new leader."
Some group didn't like the idea of Shidou being the leader. Rei's face was covered in shadow as she stayed silent. She was on the verge of snapping until she heard Daisuke's voice.
"If you're the leader as you say you are, then I guess I should just…" Daisuke grabbed his machete and sprinted out the bus door and jumped out landing on the road feet first. Some of his friends were shocked to see Daisuke leave the bus.
"Onii-chan!" Keiko cried.
"Daisuke! What the heck are you doing?" Takashi asked.
Daisuke looked at Takashi. "Look, I know what you guys are probably thinking, but it's more than that."
"Come on, get back on the bus. When we get to the city, then we can leave." Takashi tried to reason.
"Look, I know half of the people in that bus can't stand Shidou, period. But it's bigger than that. The city is most like gonna deal with traffic. And I really, really hate traffic."
"Yeah, but we need to at least stick together as a group. So that we won't lose anyone."
"I know that. But the city is not the safest place a for group like us." Daisuke then looked up at the streetlight. "Also, I think I know a safe place, if a crowd of "Them" hadn't gotten there first."
"But-" Takashi was cut off as a red-haired girl had walked pass him and jumped out of the bus without telling anyone. In her hands were a broomlike spear that she used to put down a number of reanimated people. Rei grunted as she got down.
"Where is she going?" Morita asked as he watched Rei eject herself.
Rei walked towards Daisuke. "You said that there was a safe place, right? Can you take me there?" Rei asked Daisuke politely.
"R-Rei-chan!" Takashi yelled.
"What?" Rei yelled back at Takashi.
"Get back on the bus!"
"No way! I am not cooperating with that pervert!" Rei lashed out, calling Shidou a pervert.
"Just get back on the bus, you two." Takashi said lightly.
"Oh my. If the two of them don't want to cooperate, then I suppose they're nothing but dead weight." Shidou said without a care. Some of the students such Saya, Saeko, Keiko, Morita, Tomomi and Toshimi were offended.
Takashi grunted towards Shidou with an angry look on his face. "Why would you even say that? You're a teacher!" Takashi jumped off the bus and tried to reason with them some more.
After hearing Shidou's words, Keiko started to get mad. She couldn't help herself but grab her bow and quiver filled with arrows, cross over Saeko and leave through one of the bus doors.
"Keiko-chan!" Saeko called as Keiko left the bus.
"I'm coming with you guys!" Keiko stated.
"K-Keiko-chan!?" Takashi was shocked to see Keiko.
"Right. I'm going wherever you go, Onii-chan."
"Keiko-chan. Please. Get back on the bus. It's not safe here." Takashi tried to reason.
"Save it, Takashi. Once she made up her mind, she's going to follow on it no matter what." Daisuke told him.
"That's why I told you that you'd regret this!" Rei yelled.
"No, we're all gonna regret this, if we don't stick together!"
"We're coming, too!" yelled a voice.
The four teenagers heard people leaving the bus. The people left the bus was Morita, Tomomi, Toshimi and Yuuki.
"Dammit, Morita!" Takashi scorned.
"What? You think Daisuke is the only bad boy to do whatever?" Morita asked Takashi.
"You guys are not making it any easier!" All of a sudden, a bus was driving at high speed coming from miles away. The group of teens that were off the bus of them then look and saw something coming their way.
Saeko then looked out the window to see a bus coming towards their direction. "Marikawa-sensei! You need to move it!"
"Right!" Shizuku put her seatbelt back on and tried to move the bus out of the way.
"What the hell is going on in that bus?" Morita asked as they all saw bright lights in front of their eyes.
Inside of the bus was nothing but them attacking people including the bus driver. The bus was moving at highspeed and it bumped into car after car until the entire bus flipped flipped over forward and flying closer.
The group of teens were alerted of the situation. Takashi saw Keiko who was closer to him, so he grabbed her hand and took her to a nearby car where they could hide. As Daisuke took Toshimi, who was close enough to the tunnel and ran inside trying to do what he could to save her.
The bus did not make contact with the duo, but it did crash, blocking the tunnel entrance. Inside that tunnel was also Rei Miyamoto.
"Daisuke-kun!" Saya yelled as she got out of her seat.
"Hey, Takagi-chan… what about the others?" Kohta noted that there was also Takashi, Rei and Keiko.
Takagi turned her head back at Hirano. "What about the others?" She asked in annoyance.
"Oh no… Daisuke!" Tomomi tried to run towards the bus, but only to be stopped by Morita.
"No, Tomomi! It's too dangerous! You'll be burned to death!" he said as he held Tomomi back.
Takashi body shielded Keiko by clutching onto her stomach with his back turned behind a car behind a car just in case. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah. Thank you, Senpai." Keiko blushed a little as when she finds herself in Takashi's arms.
Takashi noticed his arm around her stomach and let go before anything got awkward. "Oh. Sorry."
Meanwhile, Daisuke, Rei and Toshimi are stuck in the road tunnel with the burning bus blocking it. His body shielded Toshimi as she lied under him. "Are you okay?" He asked in concern.
"Yeah." Toshimi blushed as she noticed him leaning over her. Daisuke gave her a hand and she took it, pulling her up.
"Guys! Are you alright?" Rei ran towards the duo, as she was trapped inside of the tunnel. "We're trapped!"
Daisuke looked at Rei, then looked at the tunnel entrance to see that it was partially on fire. Daisuke ran forward, but not too close to the fire while Rei and Toshimi stood back. "There goes the only short route to meeting up with the others."
Saeko ran out of the bus find everyone else except Daisuke, Rei and Toshimi. "Komuro-kun! Keiko-chan!" she called out.
"We're over here!" Takashi said as he and Keiko hid from behind a car.
"Oh, thank goodness." She then ran to Keiko. "Keiko-chan, are you alright?" Saeko became worried.
"Uh-huh." Keiko nodded. "It was thanks to Takashi senpai that saved me."
"Oh good," Saeko then placed her hands on Keiko's shoulders. "Don't ever do something that dangerous alone again!"
"Okay, Saeko-san." Keiko said as she looked down. Saeko then took the time to hug Keiko.
Morita groaned. "We're okay, too, Busujima-san." Morita said as he, Yuuki and Tomomi got out of there hiding places from the burning bus.
"Daisuke! Rei-chan! Yell if you're alright!" Takashi yelled.
Saeko and Keiko then looked at the burning bus. Takashi stood there yelling, until he had noticed that there were burning reanimated zombies coming out of the bus. "Get back!"
"Takashi! Anyone! We're good! The three of us are okay!" Daisuke yelled, trying to catch anyone's attention from the other side of the burning bus.
"Wait, did you say three!?" Takashi asked, then looked around to see if Rei was there, but wasn't.
"Yeah. Me, Rei and Toshimi-can!" Daisuke yelled.
"Onii-chan!" Keiko cried out.
"I'm alright, Keiko-chan! Go back to the bus! Saeko-san will protect you!" Daisuke yelled to yelled.
"Keiko-chan. Let's go." Saeko dragged Keiko back to the bus for her own good.
"Saeko-san!" Daisuke called out.
"Daisuke-kun?" Saeko turned and heard Daisuke's voice.
"What ever you do, don't let Shidou come near my sister!"
Saeko smiled. "You have my word! I'll protect Keiko-chan with my life!"
Before Takashi and everybody else got back on the bus, he decided to yell a final message to the three before departing. "Hey, Daisuke! Meet us at the Higashi Police Station!"
"When?" Daisuke asked.
"Seven O' Clock! If not today, then tomorrow! If not tomorrow, then the day after!" Takashi saw the blazing zombies get closer and closer, so he got back on the bus to get away from the burning zombies.
"Alright! Got it!" Daisuke gave a thumbs up, despite not seeing them.
Takashi closed the bus door. "We have to find another rout, now. Time to go, Marikawa-sensei."
"Okay. I'll turn around and find another way!" Shizuka turned the wheel and proceeded to drive on another route. The burning zombies saw the bus and started walking to slowly towards the bus's direction.
Meanwhile, Daisuke ran towards the two girls, Rei Miyamoto and Toshimi Niki, whom both stood still in the tunnel and waited for Daisuke to return. "Girls, we gotta go. The bus is about to explode any minute."
The three started running as fast as we could to get out of the tunnel to avoid the bus fuel explosion. They barely made it out of the explosion just by hairs. Toshimi tripped and fell from the rumble explosion. "Guh!" she grunted as she fell.
"Toshimi-chan!" Daisuke called as he helped her up. "Are you alright?" he sat her up to face him.
"I think so… ow!" Toshimi felt pain in her left leg. Daisuke looked at it and noticed that she scraped her left knee.
"You scraped your knee." Daisuke noted. "I don't have any bandages or a first aid right now." He turned to Rei who was behind him. "Rei-chan, do you have anything that could help?"
"Here, give her this." Rei handed Daisuke some bandages. She didn't know if it was gonna be enough, but it's the least Rei could do to help.
Daisuke turned to Toshimi and asked. "Do you want me to put it on?" Toshimi agreed for Daisuke to put it on. It did pinch Toshimi a little bit, but did feel better about it. She looked down to see the brown bandage on her knee. "Can you stand?"
"Mm-hmm." Toshimi replied, as she tried to move one foot at a time. She nearly slipped, but Rei caught her and helped her up on her two pretty feet. "Thank you, Miyamoto-san."
"Oh, were you burned, Rei-chan?"
Rei shook her head no. "I'm okay." She said as she helped carry Toshimi. The three looked back at the tunnel that is on fire.
"Let's get out of here before more of them show up." Daisuke said.
"Right." Both Rei and Toshimi agreed.
The small group walked to a nearby slope, Rei then looked at the stairs and saw behind her and saw a zombie starting to come down onto Daisuke. "Daisuke-kun! Look out!"
"Huh?" He didn't know what she meant until he had felt a zombie come down falling onto him. "Argh!" Daisuke struggled and groaned until a zombie with a motorcycle helmet grabbed his gakuran jacket.
"Daisuke-kun!" Toshimi cried as he was being attacked by a zombie.
'Dammit! How did I not see this one coming!' The zombie was trying to bite but couldn't due to having a helmet onto its head. He continue to struggle for a bit until he knock it to the side. He then pinned it down onto its stomach. "Rei! I need you to kill this thing!"
"Got it!" Rei sat Toshimi down. "Stay here. If there's ever a problem, yell." She told Toshimi.
"Okay."
Daisuke slowly took off its helmet as planned, but the closer I gotten, the more it tried to resist. This took a few seconds. As he finally got the helmet off, he pinned his face down by the neck. "Now!"
"Hyaa!" Rei gave out a cry as she struck the zombie's face with her broom-like spear.
"Daisuke-kun!" Toshimi ran towards Daisuke in worry and instantly hugged him.
"Daisuke-kun, we have to get going to this safe place." Rei said.
"I know, but how are we going to get to the city?" he asked. "Wait a minute…"
"Huh? What is it?" Rei asked.
"It had a helmet on. Which means, there must be a motorcycle nearby. Daisuke took Toshimi's hand and walked up the stairs.
Toshimi blushed. 'He's holding my hand!'
"Wait for me, Daisuke-kun!" Rei chased after.
They stopped as soon as they got on top of the stairs and saw an orange motorcycle.
"There. That's how we'll get to the city."
"But, there's three of us. And only motorcycle can fit only two people." Rei noted.
Daisuke scratched his head. "You do have a point, there."
"Maybe, we can find some other vehicles around here?" Toshimi suggested.
"Good idea." Daisuke started the bike by turning the key. I then grabbed the handles and pulled it back a little making a vrooming sound. "It's alive. I can only take one person on here. Who wants to get on?" Daisuke asked, as he looked back at Rei and Toshimi.
"Let Toshimi go with you." Rei insisted.
Toshimi looked at Rei. "Are you sure, Miyamaoto-san?"
"Mm-hmm. I'll wait here for you two to come back." Rei smiled.
Toshimi hopped onto the backseat of the bike and wrapped her arms around Daisuke's stomach.
"We're gonna find a car or something for you to ride on, Rei. We'll be back as quick as possible!" Daisuke yelled to let her know before riding off.
"Daisue-kun, do you have a driver's license?" Toshimi asked.
"Well, I was supposed to in the next couple of days, until-"
Toshimi chuckled as she knew what he was talking about. "You're funny, Daisuke-kun." She wrapped her arms around his waist and hung on tight.
"Are you ready?" Daisuke asked Toshimi and she nodded.
"When we find a car, we'll come back for you, Rei. I promise!" Daisuke nodded at her while he put his foot on the gas pedal hard and started riding on the road. It didn't take too long until we started riding on the highway.
"I know you will! Be careful!" Rei yelled as she waved off.
