Chapter Eight

Ten minutes into it and already I wanted to be somewhere far away from these girls. They were annoying other than Kaori who clung to my arm like a magnet, but even that was a nuisance. Or perhaps it was just because I was in a foul mood that everything was annoying. Rei somehow knew how to push all my wrong buttons just by talking.

I hated her but at the same time I didn't. I suppose I just hated how I couldn't understand her. At all. It'd only been a day or so since I'd met her but she'd shown so many conflicting sides of herself that it was impossible to know who she really was not to mention how she really felt about me. It's like I was a toy to her…something she could twist and bend and manipulate to her will…

I didn't like that a single bit and I honestly just wished I could be rid of her completely and totally. She wasn't even talking to me and I still wanted to sucker punch her, because she just had to be whispering about me instead.

"What's up with her, she acts like she didn't want me, yet she was practically begging me to suck her off…" I was done. Was that all she wascapable of talking about? No, not me, my penis. I had never been sensitive about the matter but Rei was acting like…I don't know how to word it, like I was nothing to her but a…a dick to use and I didn't like that.

I may love sex, or rather the idea of it, but sometimes I loved the sentiments as well. I love the idea of cuddling a girl against me, whispering sweet nothings into her ear; I loved the idea of gentle, slow lovemaking not rough fucking. I was cruel, I was insane, I was a bitch most of the time but I was human and I did have emotions and I certainly wasn't some kind of hermaphroditic whore. With the way she was talking about me, that's how she was making me sound.

"Could you please just be quiet," I muttered, rubbing my temples. Her constant blabbering was making it hard to even focus. I looked around us. To be honest; I had no clue where to go. Rei claimed she did but I was finding it hard to trust her…the streets were definitely not empty, panicked people ran by on the occasion, but we were in a quiet part of the city, so many people here were simply trying to flee.

Occasionally we ran into Them but they were swiftly taken care of. Sirens were constantly going off in the distance, and I'm pretty sure that was smoke coming from somewhere in the city. A fire? The police seemed to be useless right now, they weren't helping with anything! Good to know just how capable they were.

"Shut up Saeko, it's none of your business, we weren't even talking to you," Rei snapped back, before crossing her arms, "you have the worst attitude right now."

"Yeah. Whatever you say," I sighed and shook my head, I slipped my hands in my pockets and walked ahead of the group, Kaori hurried to catch up to me. I hesitated before giving her a kind smile. She offered her hand.

I was taken aback by the forward gesture. It was unexpected from her, but sweet. She could read my mood apparently. I took her hand in mine, squeezing it gently. A blush scattered across her cheeks. Suddenly, an arm was around my own, and breasts were squeezed to my chest.

"Choosing favorites again," Rei spat, her eyes gleaming with hatred as she looked at the girl whose hand rested in mine. I didn't like that hostile tone. Kaori had been nothing but kind and she hadn't attempted to start problems with anyone. She was a timid, pretty girl who had just witnessed the death of her friend the day before.

"Screw off," I snapped back, giving her a nasty look, "don't start stuff with her, anyone else, not her. She's a sweetheart. And she's done nothing to you." Rei glanced at Misuzu, then me, then Kaori...then she smiled. And shrugged.

"Fine."

"Are you stupid," Misuzu muttered, before pulling away, "whatever…Why are you like that?" I was about to ask her what she meant but she was already back to talking with Rei, a look of distaste on her face.

"Like what..?" I trailed off, sighing. I would never understand girls.

"You plan on leading us? Cause I clearly remember you saying you didn't know where the damn station was!" I paused, squeezing my eyes shut. Kaori squeezed my hand.

"Don't worry about it. I know where it is," Kaori explained softly. Rei ran her fingers through her hair.

"Shut up," Rei sighed, then she plastered on a phony smile. "I wasn't talking to you. I know you aren't really nice. But whatever, fine, I don't even care…I'm too exhausted to. Just know Saeko, she's the one taking advantage of you the most in this little group. She's not normal."

I rolled my eyes. I knew that Rei was a liar and immature. Did she really think I would believe such a blatant lie? I kept walking, stopping for a moment when I realized that Kaori had not moved an inch. There was a strange expression on her face as she stared at Rei. Her short black hair blew slightly in the breeze, I cocked a brow. What the hell was that weird look she was giving Rei? She was looking at Rei with a strange, almost predatory smile, no…more smug…but still strangely innocent. Rei had a look of pure Like myself, Misuzu seemed confused as hell, there was a single more second of silence, and then Kaori was walking again like nothing had happened.

I didn't know what happened but I don't think I liked it. I slid my hand from Kaori's, put it in my coat, and then was completely silent. Even when Rei started to talk again. Kaori watched me the entire time, a happy expression on her face. For whatever reason, I had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. All of the day's events were weighing me down, I thought I was going to be sick.

The rest of our little trip was spent in silence, after a while Rei took the lead again. We were pretty determined to make it to the station. We found it wasn't possible. It was going to be twelve soon, and there were more and more undead roaming the streets as time passed. Truth be told, the idea had been hopeless from the start. We still had a long way to go, and for the past fifteen minutes Misuzu had been complaining about how sore her feet were and Kaori was giving tiny little whimpers. Fuck, they were annoying. She was a bitch but at least Rei wasn't like that. She was a formidable fighter and she was athletic. She could walk without complaining. I'd gotten slammed into the ground and almost eaten, yet here I was walking without talking.

I wanted to get back to the others as soon as possible; I vaguely wondered how they were doing. To do so we had to keep walking, even if it was exhausting.

"Saeko," Rei muttered, "I know that you want to reach the others, but they can't go on any longer, and even if they could, it'd be better if we rested for a while," She grabbed my arm and I turned my gaze to meet hers, "Please. It's better we're rested and useful then tired and not…and I don't want to hear them whine any longer," I looked her in the eyes for a moment, my hands twitched, before I smacked her hand off of mine.

"Fine, figure out where we're going to sleep now. Dammit Rei," I crossed my arms, frustrated. My head was pounding with the worst headache I've ever had. To be honest. I was tired too. How could I not be tired…with all the shit that was going on?

I was reluctant to admit it, but Rei was right, we needed to sleep and head out tomorrow instead.

"How about we ask someone if we can stay in their house," Kaori asked softly, blushing as she glanced at us. I waved her suggestion away.

"Stupid. People are crazy, angry, and confused right now. We'd be risking our lives. Not to mention we don't know if they've been bitten, and they sure as hell wouldn't tell us." I pushed my long hair back from my forehead, combing my fingers through it as I tried to relax. I appreciated her idea but it was a foolish one.

"Well, it's worth the risk," Rei responded, meeting my eyes steadily. "And you're in no condition to tell the rest of us what to do. I grit my teeth together.

"You seem to fucking love disagreeing with me," I snarled, "It doesn't make sense! Why would we trust a random person to take care of us when they're probably focused on surviving themselves? How could we do that, it's just wrong," I shook my head, "No, I refuse." I slipped my hands into my uniform pockets, glaring angrily at her. "We can't ask someone to care for us, and we can't trust them."

"Then have fun being alone for the night," Rei grinned, pressing close to me, shoving her face into mine. She had to tiptoe. Her breath was kind of sweet in a way. I clenched and unclenched my fingers, my breath hitched. Her tongue snaked out of its mouth, slowly, sensually; she licked my lips, before sliding them in between. My tension melted away. Her arms slid around my waist, her mouth parting from mine. "Don't be such a stick in the mud Saeko, you don't have to be the leader, just relax," she leaned in close again.

It felt good to kiss her. A relief. She parted my lips with her tongue again, and I felt a rush of heat rush between my legs. She sucked on my tongue, licked the tip of it, before pulling back. "Let me be our leader for a little while."

I was shaken, I was still against this… "I just don't think…" She smiled wide, her hand grazed my crotch, casually. I wouldn't have noticed her hand move had the streaks of pleasure not shot through me. When had I gotten hard? How long had I been that way. I squeezed my eyes shut, protest dwindling away into a low hiss of pleasure.

"Don't think," She purred, before stepping away, "Ok, everybody stick together. Let's head for a small house."

I was numb for a moment, I was suddenly painfully aroused. All I could focus on was the throbbing between my legs. How did Rei do it? Arouse me like she did? It was a graze of her fingertips, a light touching of her fingernails, and she had made me hard as rock. This was why I hated her. She did things to me. To my head. It was as if she was in my Rei readied her makeshift spear as we approached the door to the house, her eyes were narrowed. The brunette reached out and knocked on it. As she knocked, the door swung open slightly. Had it…been open a crack? I stepped passed the group, and head. She knew what turned me on, what turned me off, what got me pissed off, what tone to use to relax me…

She was…something special. But why did she have to be such a bitch? Had it been any other time, had They not came around, I would have taken her as mine. I wanted to, I walked after them, still moody. I gazed about me, at the ruined streets. If only I had met any of these girl before the apocalypse started. They were all beautiful. Misuzu in a youthful way, she had a cheerleader like body, and a gorgeous face. Like with Rei, her personality killed her. She was a complete and total follower, it was like she couldn't think for herself. But she had the prettiest amber eyes…Kaori, I thought was adorable both appearance-wise and personality-wise. But she definitely was not my type, too shy and far too nice, but that guy she was with was one blind bastard if he didn't go for her. She had a very pretty face, the type of face that would be absolutely stunning once she got older but right now was just cute.

They were all pretty incredible girls. Maybe I was being too much of a jerk to them. While I watched, Rei roamed from apartment building to apartment, and the little houses in between. "'This one," she murmured, glancing around. There were a few undead down the street. We ignored them.

ripped it open completely.

Inside, there was nothing, no one. No sound. No television on. I narrowed my eyes and thought. Maybe they'd left. I glanced at the others, putting my finger to my lips in a "be quiet" fashion before stepping inside. I walked slowly, quietly, my heart thumping in my chest; I gripped my bokken tighter, tighter. "Hello? Anyone in here?!" Nothing. We were safe…

Crrrrkkkk. The door in front of us slowly slid open. I hesitated, stepping forward.

Kaori grabbed at my arm, expression anxious.I smiled at her, patting her hand off. Then, I opened the door. There was a groaning noise, and as if it were performing a surprise attack, one of the undead swept towards me from behind the door. I smirked, then snapped my wrist forward, my bokken with it, with as much strength as possible. Crimson splattered the wall to what I presumed to be the bathroom. I grinned, checking the rest of the bathroom for more of them. There wasn't, only a dead woman on the floor, probably the wife or girlfriend of the male zombie I had just taken out. There was a gaping bloody wound on the side of her skull, a gun rested loosely in her hands. That was a respectable decision.

I bowed my head, offered her a prayer, then turned back to the others.

"Worked out pretty well," I grinned, slipping a hand into my pocket.

"Saeko, that was so cool," Misuzu exclaimed, "I feel bad for that poor fucker."

"Don't do that again Saeko, you could have gotten killed," Kaori scolded, I rubbed the back of my head with a low laugh. Rei just snuggled into me, as if she actually cared if I had died or not. Even though I was well aware she didn't. I closed my eyes. I had definitely been too cruel to them. It was easy to lose my temper with them, though.

"Ok, enough enough, let's find a room. I'll be with Kaori, you two with each other that cool?" Misuzu and Rei looked at Kaori with a withering glare, then at each other and shrugged. Rei gave me a wink.

"We'll call if we need help," My jaw dropped as she proceeded to lean close to Misuzu, and gave her a crushing kiss on the mouth. "with anything," she whispered teasingly while gazing at me. I hardened at the sight, even in the current setting. Misuzu herself seemed shocked, but after a moment, her hands slipped to Rei's face and she kissed her back. I flushed deeply, my face, well my entire body, burning red hot. It only got worse when I saw the glisten of saliva on their pinks tongues, a string between their mouths as they pulled away from each other. Rei was grinning. Misuzu was blushing as hard as I was. Kaori was just annoyed.

"We're gonna check the house for any bad guys," She marched off with determination, "come on bitch, let's go."

"C…coming!" Misuzu took off top speed; I watched them scamper down the hallway, blushing further when Rei's hand squeezed the supple looking flesh of Misuzu's ass. I was jealous. They turned around the corner.

I shook my head, what the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck!? The idea of a threesome with those two was overstimulating me mentally, dammit! Kaori smiled at me.

"I'm ready to go to bed too." I nodded, we walked down the same hall. Turning the corner, we found a couple of doorways. One door was firmly shut, much to my horror and delight at the same time, there was a light slam against the door a bit after we walked by. I blushed, listening in just a bit.

"Oh, fuck," That was Misuzu.

"Shhh, quiet, Saeko will flip if she hears us," There was a pair of muffled giggles, then, one died away into a moan, then more moans, my face got hotter, and so did the area between my thighs. I wasn't angry I was disappointed. I wanted to go in there. I wanted to have Misuzu riding my face and Rei on my cock. Kaori grabbed my arm and tugged me into the farthest room down the hall.

"Sorry," I flushed, "Couldn't help but listen in," I explained sheepishly. She smiled kindly. I sighed wistfully as she opened the bedroom door. It was large, simple. Neat and tidy, untouched by Them. I felt a tug of homesickness. I wanted to be in my bed.

"Don't apologize, I don't blame you," Kaori said as she glanced around. She smiled wider. "Only one bed. Want to share the bed?" I thought for a moment. Yeah I wanted to share the bed, no way in hell was I going to sleep on the damn floor. I nodded. She beamed.

She wasn't like Rei or Misuzu either, who I bet would tease me the entire night. We'd just relax, and sleep. I collapsed onto the bed, exhausted and just glad to have the chance to sleep. Kaori slipped in next to me soon after, but by then, I had already drifted away to dream world.

This time I had relatively peaceful dreams. Of Shizuka's breasts, and Misuzu's pretty eyes, and Rei with her mouth on my member. She was gazing up at me, holding me by my base and jerking up and down slowly as she took me in her throat just like that first time. Then, she hollowed her cheeks and took me down to the base as far as her fist could let her.

Damn, that last part felt so real…like there was really a mouth…hot and moist…my eyes shot wide. Outside the sky was black.

What the fuck, what was happening? Was I seriously being sucked off? I attempted to move. What was this!?My wrists and ankles were bound, why was I gagged!? And by what? Fucking christ, fucking christ! Panic made me struggle.

My eyes adjusted to the darkness of the room, I could just make out Kaori, her head buried between my legs, licking softly at my flesh. When she felt my movement, she looked up, and gave a wild smile.

"Saeko."

No way. This could not be happening. Kaori was the normal one! I snarled against my gag, she slithered up my form. Rei had been right. Rei had fucking been right. She wasn't "nice", she wasn't "normal."

She kissed at my throat lovingly.

"Don't be upset Saeko, please. I just love you so much and I wanted to thank you for saving was why you saved me...right? Why you kept me on the bus. If I didn't do this I'm sure you would do it to me," She whispered in a hot tone. Oh no oh no, not fucking cool!

I hadn't let her stay so I could fuck her, I let her stay because she was cute and seemed kind. I regretted that decision immensely. Her hand lovingly stroked my lower stomach, her tongue snaked across her lips.

"Stop struggling. You wouldn't let me die before. This is my payment.." she trailed off and pulled away for a moment. "Even though I really wanted to die. With him, my friend. I loved him, as more than that..." Her eyes squeezed shut painfully. "But I suppose it was for the best. Better I hear his screams of pain every moment of the day instead of...just dying. I owe you so much."

Was this girl crazier than me? Her voice was dull and serene, as if she weren't fully there. "

Fuck, Saeko, I'm so wet. Those sluts out there were making you all hard, making me all hot and bothered when I saw you get aroused," Her fingers stroked along my breasts, before she squeezed them painfully hard, twisting my nipples. I winced. She tssked and shook her head, leaning against me with her fragile, thin frame. I wanted to break her body in half. I glared at her, teeth gnashed together. "How dare you get aroused, you love me, you saved me afterall. Why would you get aroused by them…Rei was right y'know. I'm not nice. I'm a bad girl," she admitted, "my last boyfriend got a restraining order because I was too overwhelming, too "crazy." But I'm not crazy, I wasn't then." Her voice was getting louder now. "I was just crazy for him. I just loved him. Like I love you," she smiled.

"I'm just so moved, you're the only one except him that's ever cared, the only one who's ever looked at me and made me feel attractive!" I lay there silently, wide-eyed.

I had never been so scared in my life. I would rather have the teasing of Yuuki Miku then this! Rather feel the frustration Misuzu and Rei gave me. Speaking of which, I could still fucking hear Misuzu's moans, fuck, be quiet, be quiet! Help. I clenched my fists, struggling against the bonds.

Sheets, but well knotted. "I'm a girl scout," Kaori explained, " before you're not escaping them. Why would you want to?" She reached down and scooped my member up in her hands.

"You...you're so fucking hot Saeko," Climbing up, she straddled my lap. She lifted her skirt, pushed her panties to the side. Oh god no, oh god no! I was suddenly hyperaware of everything. Of her hot gaze and the heat of the night, of the sirens in the distance, Rei and Misuzu still fucking.

I was about to be raped. Rei was right about Kaori. I shouldn't have trusted her. I squeezed my eyes shut. She was so close now, I could practically feel her wetness and heat. A huge part of me hated it but the smaller part was ready, willing. I had been planning to fuck her.

Under my conditions, with her under me. Not like this.

Never like this. Not again.
