Author's Note: Warning. This chapter will contain Sexual Assault.
It was Eleven Forty-Five in the evening.
Takashi Komuro and his friends were stuck inside of a high school bus on the highway. Traffic couldn't get any slower and slower. Their bus traveled at least ten miles an hour. The military was controlling the roads, as they were ordering civilians to stay within their vehicles.
A few people on the bus had slept, such as Tomomi Kageyami, Morita, Keiko Nakamura and some of the Fujimi Academy surviving students. The ones who were awake, such as Takashi Komuro, Saeko Busujima, Kohta Hirano, Saya Takagi, Yuuki Miku, the driver Shizuku Marikawa, the highschool teacher Koichi Shido and most his followers.
'Could this traffic not go any slower?' Saeko thought, as she had sat next to Keiko, who was snoozing.
There was nothing but silence on the bus, until a person's stomach had grumbled out the blue.
The first person that reacted to this grumbling was Saya Takagi, who quickly turned to the boy next to her. Kohta Hirano. "Shut up! Be quiet! You're disgusting!" she yelled.
Kohta looked at Saya and embarrassingly rubbed his head. "I'm sorry, Takagi-chan. But, I haven't eaten most of the day."
"We're all hungry." Saeko told Saya.
Within the matter of a second, their attentions turned their head to where the gunfire were. It took two shoulders a few rounds two put down three zombies.
"Eek!" Kawamoto and Taniuchi lightly screamed in their seats.
Koichi Shidou walks over towards the two highschool students and easily comforted them. "There, there." He embraced the two girls and hid a grin away from them. "It's going to be alright."
"Shidou-sensei..." Kawamoto moaned.
What Shidou had no idea of was that the students such as Saeko Busujima was glaring at him from behind. Saya and Kohta just stared at Shidou's backside, believing him to be a pedophile.
Saeko then thought back a bit when Saeko and Daisuke were separated by a burning bus. She rememered Daisuke telling her to keep his sister Keiko away from Shidou. "Now I know what Daisuke-kun meant...' She looked at the snoozing Keiko.
Takashi stared out one of the school bus's windows, not bothering to look at the soldiers shooting the zombies. He's been quiet as a mouse. He visualized a picture of Rei Miyamoto within his mind. He couldn't stop thinking about Rei for a couple of hours.
"You've been quiet for a while, Komuro-kun." Saeko said to Takashi.
Takashi glanced at Saeko for a sceond, then glanced back at the window. "I'm fine."
"We're gonna find them, Komuro." Saeko said, thinking that she knows what Takashi is thinking.
'I hope so. Rei. Please be alive...' Takashi thought.
After an hour of searching for an available car, Daisuke and Toshimi had found a gray car with four seats in it. Daisuke quickly took the wheel and Toshimi had sat in the passenger side and slept as he drove. As promised, Daisuke drove to the same spot where he left Rei and drove right beside her.
"You found a car, Daisuke-kun." Rei was happy to see a four passenger car.
'Are you cold?" Daisuke asked.
Rei shook her head no. "I'm fine." She looked in the passenger seat and saw Toshimi sleeping. "Looks like someone's tired."
Daisuke looked over at Toshimi sleeping peacefully in the passenger seat. "Yeah, I guess we all tired after what we've been through today."
"Yep," Rei opened the back doors and sat in the back seat of the car. She yawned and put her seat belt on.
"Alright, let's go." Daisuke drove off.
Daisuke kept driving on the highway for an hour until and turned left to enter Tokonosu city itself. As he road street by street, Toshimi and Rei was still sound asleep. After a short while, Daisuke heard a sound and saw the low fuel light come one while driving. And then he looked at the fuel gauge and saw that the car was almost empty. He sighed and pulled by a nearby gas station.
Suddenly, Rei and Toshimi moaned and stretched their arms as they slowly woke up and saw that they were at the gas station.
"Daisuke-kun, why are we at a gas station? I thought they we were going to the safe place." Rei asked as she got out the car.
"The car's low on gas." Daisuke answered.
"Aw, that's not good."
"I wander, if this place has gas?" Toshimi questioned as she stared at the gas machine.
"It does," Daisuke looked at Toshimi when he answered. "Supposedly, a bunch of gas stations have enough gas to fuel up a thousand cars. Especially in Japan. This one should be it, though." he looked at the gas machine and got a little irritated when I found out what it was. "Tch!" he grunted.
"What's the matter?"
"This is a self-service gas station. It only takes cash and credit cards."
"Do you have any money?"
Daisuke checked my pockets only to find them empty. "Nope. I forgot my wallet back at the house." he laughed embarrassed. "You wouldn't happen to have money?"
"Sorry," Toshimi shook her head no.
"No… I kinda left my money in the bag." Rei said, honestly.
"What bag?"
"You know, the bag I always carry at school. And I the bag is back at…"
"Fujimi Academy..." Daisuke finished Rei's sentence.
"Yes. I forgot about it ever since this hell started." Rei pouted.
Daisuke looked at the gas station door. He could imagine money being in the register. "Wait. There could be money inside the store. Let's go in."
"Rei?" Daisuke turned to her.
"I don't know… I think I'll stay out here with the car." Rei suggested.
"So will I." Toshimi said as she stood with Rei.
"Are you sure? Because I don't want anything to happen to you both." Daisuke worried.
Rei blushed after hearing his words. "Y-yes, Daisuke-kun. We'll be fine out here."
"Okay. If you two can handle yourselves, then I'll take your word for it." Daisuke smiled.
"Thanks," Rei took the keys of the driver's seat. "Daisuke-kun, catch!" Rei tossed the keys to Daisuke.
"Thanks for that. I'm going in now. Scream if you need help, girls." Daisuke walked towards the door.
"Okay."
Toshimi's stomach grumbled all of a sudden. "Um, I'm kind of hungry."
Rei blushed as she placed a hand on her stomach as it growled as well. "Can you find us some snacks while you're in there?" Rei asked politely.
Daisuke chuckled a little. "Alright. I'll get something for you and that hungry tummy of yours."
Rei blushed. "J-just go get the money and snacks!" she said as her face became peach fuzzed.
He opened up the door only to find a dark room. "I gotta be alert. I don't know if any of them had appeared." He looked around the room only to see it completely empty. There was no one there. "No one's here." Daisuke muttered. He looked at around on the ground and found a fresh wrapped honey bun. He picked it up. 'I forgot. Does Rei like honeybuns?' He then looked at and moved towards the back of the counter where the cash register is. "So many buttons." There were buttons written in Kanji. He pressed a big red button that supposed to open the register, but it turns out the register wasn't working. "Doesn't work." He stuck my hand under the counter to find something, but I only found a bat. "This will do." Daisuke stood on top of the counter and I was ready to smash the register open. 'Sorry, but not sorry.'
Meanwhile, Rei and Toshimi are still outside supposedly keeping watch for them and other people. Without her knowing, there's a mysterious guy checking her backside out while hiding behind the other side of the gas machine. Rei had begun to yawn as she had thought about the time the world had gotten to hell.
'Boy. I hope Daisuke-kun is okay… He seems calm and levelheaded. I know we haven't spoken for a while, be he seems like a real good guy. But Takashi-kun on the other hand, I'm sure we probably would've argued at this point of the trip…'
"D-Daisuke-kun?" Toshimi looked worried and alerted.
All of a sudden, there were loud smashes coming from the store and Rei flinched after hearing the first smash. "What is he…" she thought as she looked at the door.
'Is the register really not working? Well, I can't really blame him. Takashi-kun would've done the same thing, too.' Rei then leaned her back on the gas machine. 'Come on, Rei. Daisuke-kun is not a bad guy, you know. Don't give him such a hard time.' Rei then clapped her cheeks together. 'Wait, what am I saying? I'm not really falling for Daisuke-kun, am I?" Rei begun to blushed a little and looked at Toshimi. 'I'm sure Toshimi likes Daisuke-kun, too.'
Still without her knowing, a mysterious guy was still checking her out, and decided to go in for the taking.
Meanwhile, Daisuke was still inside the station and had picked up the money. He counted slowly and added the yen all together. "Alright. I counted the total amount I have is 3882.99 yen." Daisuke put the cash in his wallet and put the honey bun under his gakuran jacket. 'I better hurry up. Rei-chan really doesn't like to wait. Toshimi-chan's sweet, too.'
"AAIIIEE!" a scream occured.
Daisuke gasped. 'Oh shit!' He ran out the door only to see a large black guy with a black shirt, yellow shorts, white shoes, red bandanna under a white hat, gold chains and braces. He saw Rei pointing her weapon at the thug while the robber held Toshimi hostage. "Toshimi-chan! Rei-chan!" he cried.
"Don't move!" the thug yelled as he placed a pocket knife close to her neck. He then starts laughing uncontrollably. "Ahahaha!"
"Let her go!" Rei demanded but the thug refused.
"Yo. You got a fine piece of ass here. Makes me want to... take her from you." the robber snickered.
"You let her go, dammit!" Daisuke demanded as he gripped the metal bat tightly.
"Now why the fuck would I do that, you Japanese retard? Everyone's turning into one of those zombies nowadays. So why the fuck would I let her go if their ain't no bitches left anyway?" the thug squeezed his arm around her stomach under her breasts.
"Are you THAT crazy?" Daisuke asked calmly.
"Crazy? Of course I am, you dumbass! My whole family turned into one of those fucking zombies. And… I smashed their heads in to live! Everyone I cared about. My pops, my mom, my granny, even my little brother and sister too!" the thug shouted.
"Are you from America?" Daisuke asked.
"No, I'm from Virginia- of course I'm from America!" the thug replied.
"Look, I get it. You lost your family. Everything around you has gone to hell. But, what does that have to do with you holding a highschool girl a hostage?" Daisuke asked as he took a step forward.
"Shut up! I do this because I want to!" the thug lifted his head looking at the lights. "Yeah, I'm crazy. But you know what else? I don't give a fuck about you!" the thug laughed at the ceiling.
"Daisuke-kun. Rei-chan. Help!" Toshimi yelped.
"Heh." the thug then licked his lips in a sadistic way. And looked down at Toshimi's breasts. "My my. Let's see what kind of goodies we have today!" the thug ripped off Daisuke's white shirt with one yank and revealed Toshimi's bra. He then started groping and squeezing her left breast from behind.
Daisuke and Rei's eyes than gasped in anger and horror as they horribly watched Toshimi be molested.
Tears streamed down Toshimi's face as she started to squeal and lightly scream in terror as the thug continued to hand stroke her left breast. "Yeah. That feels good… just what I want to feel. You got some milk tits alright. And not to mention your voice. The way you squeal, it's like music to my ears." the thug moaned.
"Stop it!" Rei yelled.
Daisuke grunted in horror and got angry, just by watching it right in front of my eyes. "Tch!"
"You hittin' this, aren't you?"
Daisuke tried to run towards the thug. "You motherfucker!"
"Don't move or she's dead!" the thug threatened to kill Rei once more when he brought a knife to her neck. That's all he could think of saying, but then I thought of Rei's condition. "Wait a minute, you're a virgin? You so weak man. You're a weak bitch! This'll probably the only time you ever see her like this. Because when I'm done, I'm gonna make her into a real woman." The thug then thought of an idea. "I know, how about we see what's in here." the thug brought the knife from Toshimi's neck to her bra and cut it loose, revealing her exposed breasts to both Daisuke and Rei.
Tears continue to stream from Toshimi's eyes. "Daisuke-kun!" she yelled.
Rei couldn't stand hearing the torment of her friend any longer. She gripped her broomlike spear in a fit of rage. Her eyes were filled with hate and she charged towards the thug. "You bastard!"
"Rei-chan! Stop!" Daisuke called.
The thug saw Rei moving in fast. "I guess you don't care if she lives anymore." The thug put the knife deep to her neck to where the outer skin starts bleeding. Rei stopped in her tracks as she saw a little bit of blood pour from Toshimi's neck. Rei dropped her weapon and raised both hands in the air.
"Please. No more. Just let our friend go. I'm begging you. It doesn't have to be this way!" The anger she had on her face turned into tears of sorrow and worry. Rei pleaded for the thug to stop.
The thug was a little surprised by Rei's facial expression. "Someone's come to their senses. But... the answer is no!"
Daisuke gritted his teeth. "What the hell is wrong with you?" he asked, angrily.
The thug ignored Daisuke's question. "First thing's first. Get rid of that bat you got. Then I want you to put gas in the car. That's right. I know you got gas from the register inside."
"Shit," Daisuke muttered as he looked at the bat and slowly put it down like the thug demanded. I stayed quiet as I put the cash into the machine, then I put the gas pump in the tank.
"You better not be up to something!
After a few minutes of pumping, it was done. "It's done." Daisuke informed the thug as he tightened the gas cap on the car.
"Good. Now go, get out of here! I'm taking her with me. Go find your own bitch." The thug demanded.
Rei gasped. "That wasn't part of the deal!"
"I don't remember making a deal with you dimwits. This is my territory. What I say goes!" The thug focused his attention on Rei.
"But-"
"Shut your damn mouth, bitch! You're lucky that you're not this little broad right now. Otherwise, I'd strip you naked and fuck you right in front of these monsters! Then I'm gonna—"
As the thug yammered on, Daisuke quickly grabbed a pair of brass knuckles from his hidden pockets and dashed towards them at top speed and punched the thug square in the face, pushing him back a few inches. Daisuke delivered another punch to his face, then kneed him in the groin. The thug grunted as he landed on his knees. As the thug looked up, Daisuke delivered another punch to his face, causing him to fall to the ground. He then looked up to see Daisuke's shadowy figure standing over him and a pair of blue eyes glaring at him. The thug was a little petrified until Daisuke threw a punch.
Toshimi quickly fell on her knees and her hands hit the ground. Her eyes watered more and more until she broke down and cried. "Ah!"
"Toshimi-chan!" Rei quickly came to Toshimi's aid and immediately embraced the topless girl with a hug. "I'm here. I got you, now. It's going to be alright." she said as Toshimi sobbed in Rei's chest. Rei's eyes watered.
Daisuke is busy beating the thug to a pulp with his brass knuckles. After a matter of seconds of pummeling, Daisuke finally stopped and stood thug's face was barely recognizable. It was bruised, his mouth was bleeding a few teeth was broken, despite having braces. His bandanna fell off during the beating. The thug spat up some blood.
"You deserve more than that." Daisuke said to the thug before checking his hands and removing the brass knuckles. He bent down to the thug's level. "And one more thing." Daisuke then kicked the thug in the face, breaking his nose. "That... was just a small taste for what you did to Toshimi. I will never forgive you for what you did to her."
Daisuke then heard some growling in the darkness. He recognized that growl. It was "Them." They were coming closer to the gas station.
Daisuke turned and ran to the car. He looked through the window and saw Rei embracing Toshimi in the back seat. "How is she?" he asked in concern.
"Yeah. I checked the cut on her neck. It's not deep enough to take her to the hospital. She'll be fine." Rei informed Daisuke.
"Good. We're leaving now! They're coming!" Daisuke told Rei as he got in the front seat. He put the keys in the ignition and turned on the car. Daisuke then drove by and lowered his window and glared at the half conscious thug. Daisuke looked forward while Rei looked at him with such hate, then drove off to their destination.
As the thug sat his head up, he saw the teens leaving with the car. "H-hey! You're just gonna leave me here? What kind of assholes are you people!?" the thug tried ask, but Daisuke had already drove off at highspeed. "No! Come back! I'm sorry! I won't do it again!" the thug pleaded. He saw the dead getting closer and closer to him.
He started to cry as he then knew that death had finally caught up with him and his crimes. "AAAAAHH!" the thug made one final scream before they started got him. "Somebody! Help me!" he yelled as they are tearing him apart. He continued to struggle for at least two minutes until his heart had finally collapse from bloodloss. And "Them" eats his remains.
