Chapter Six: The Shelter
A/N: Thank you for your lovely reviews. I enjoyed them very much. Kilnorc, I also like Tea but I had to kill her off, once again, my apologies. My apologies also for not updating this sooner, I had several things to do. Also, Kilnorc, very nice fics, I like! The group found the guns behind the counter of the gas station. Seto was packin' and so was Rolen so there was at least some who was smart enough to have guns on them. Anyways, -pulls out her gun and shots Tea in the head- there, she's taken care of. Sorry Tea. Hope you enjoy this chapter. I don't own Wal-Mart. Okay, Kilnorc, this is a dark humor story, if you are into that sort of stuff like I am. Anyways, back to the shit that these poor souls have to deal with.
Yugi hadn't said a word since the death of his crush. He felt bad knowing that he wasn't there to stop her from being killed or being one of the undead creatures that resided in the city. He sat in a car; he didn't care which one and closed his eyes. Everyone had agreed on meeting at Wal-Mart, (A/N: I'll explain in a minute), and stay there until they felt that it was safe enough to go out and live outside in the world again. Seto didn't like the fact the he would be staying in a Wal-Mart because it was cheap compared to what he was used to.
He climbed inside of his limo with his little brother and waited for whoever else was riding with him. Ryou, Bakura, Yami and Tristan rode with Mokuba and his older brother. (A/N: They're in a limo so they have plenty of elbowroom) Malik, Marik and Odieon stuck to their motorcycles and the rest got in Duke's car. Joey drove while Yugi was in the passenger side and the girls were in the back.
Seto still hated Wal-Mart but agreed to stay there because he was outnumbered in that subject. Even Mokuba agreed to the terms. Bakura felt like laughing when he saw Seto's disgusted look on his face when Joey brought up Wal-Mart. Even he agreed to the terms. Wal-Mart did have food, running water, clothing, electricity from a separate generator, furniture, baby supplies, in case one of the girls got pregnant, and guns and ammo galore. Oh that pissed Seto off that Joey was right.
Even Mai agreed that Wal-Mart would be safer than a mall because a mall has too many windows, not enough food and no gun department store at all. Seto hated the fact that not only was the mutt right but so was his harpie of a girlfriend. Rolen had stopped suddenly and got out of the limo. "Mr. Kaiba, I think that you want to see this," he said and pointed to a zombie-infested parking lot of the awaiting Wal-Mart. Seto hit his forehead in the irony.
At that moment the rest had parked beside them and saw the parking lot as well. Joey nearly threw a fit when he saw the parking lot. Zombies were every where and were banging on the unbreakable glass doors, cars that held dead bodies in them, and some were stupid enough to run into poles and the walls. "There's no fucking way that I'm going in there and risk my sister's and girlfriend's life," Joey said as a zombie turned to see him. It moaned and several zombies turned and started to limp towards the group.
Seto rolled his eyes and stared at Joey. "Well mutt, it was your idea to come here, now your turning away? You really are pathetic then aren't you?" Seto challenged.
Joey clinched his fists and nearly threw Seto a punch. "Listen you fucking rich brat, I only came up with the goddamn idea because it seemed like a fucking good idea at the fucking time but apparently I was wrong and you need to get a fucking life, you goddamn son-of-a bitch," Joey shouted and Serenity was in shock that her brother would swear like a sailor. "Now maybe you should distract them so they would go after your ass and we would be safe inside while those pieces of shits eat your no good sorry ass," Joey said turning back to the zombie-infested parking lot.
That gave Seto an idea. "Maybe I should," he mumbled. Yugi looked at Seto with a 'What?' look on his face.
Joey looked at him. "Are you fucking nuts? I only said that to shut your ass up and you're actually going to do that? You are nuts," Joey said.
Bakura laughed at what just happened. "You two are both nuts. I have to admit that Joey's plan is a good idea but who would risk his life for the others?" he asked looking at the group. He couldn't because he was wounded, the girls couldn't because they were scared and he didn't want Ryou to do it either because Ryou was like his brother.
Mokuba hugged his brother's waist. "Don't do it Seto. I don't want you to die," he cried as Seto placed a hand on his shoulder.
Rolen walked over to Seto and place his gun in the teenager's hand. "I'll do it," he said and walked to the zombies. Rolen ignored the calls that the teenagers were giving him and grabbed a zombie. He snapped its neck and that got every zombies attention. "Go, I'll distract them while you all get inside safely," he shouted and ran past several zombies. They all followed him and completely ignored the shouting group.
Seto almost followed his trusted employee when he felt his brother's grip tighten as Rolen was bitten into. "Get the fuck away from them, Rolen! Forget those bastards and get the fuck out of there!" Seto yelled with Joey, Tristan and Yami. Serenity hid her face in her brother's chest while Rolen was pinned to the ground and the zombies eating him alive. They all heard his blood curdling screams and his shaking leg as he slowly died from the bites. The zombies fought over which part of the fallen man they should eat. Several were pushing each other to grab a leg or an arm. Many were too busy eating to notice the group or the fighting zombies. Ryou turned his head and threw up. Bakura looked away and tried to ignore the man's screams.
Joey looked at the zombies and felt sick, but he had to be strong for his little sister and his friends, even though it was a sick sight to see. Mai and Ishizu on the other hand threw up when they saw zombies splitting Rolen's arm in half by each holding two fingers and pulling. Malik and Marik found a path that the zombies had made and started to push the others towards it. "C'mon, we got to get inside or else we would be like him, Duke and Tea. Now let's get the fuck inside now!" Marik screamed at them and the other obliged. Since Mokuba had smaller legs than the others, Seto picked him up by the shirt and carried him inside the building. Yugi was also falling behind until Malik had picked him up on his motorcycle and raced to the, for the moment, clear building.
Joey, Tristan, Bakura, and Ryou were trying to open up the doors while Yami, Seto, Mai, (A/C: GO MAI!) and Yugi were shooting zombies. Malik and his yami were too busy helping the boys with the door. Odieon was also busy helping the girls get in the back of the group so they would be safe. A zombie grabbed his shoulder and pulled him into the hungry zombies. His arm was ripped off and throat been ripped out. At that moment, Yugi aimed his gun and shot Odieon in between the screaming guardian's eyes. The zombies didn't care that their squirming meal quit moving, just as long as they ate.
Tears flowed from Ishizu's eyes as Joey pulled her inside the awaiting building. They had finally got the door open and started moving inside. Ryou panted and fell to the ground in exhaustion. Bakura was about to do the same thing when a fallen zombie grabbed his wounded leg and bit into it. The blood of the tomb robber oozed out of the wound and was being squirted in the face of the rotting corpse. "Bakura!" Ryou screamed and kicked the zombie away from his yami.
Bakura fell to the ground in pain as Seto shot the zombie. "Fucking dead piece of shit! I fucking hate you goddamn bastards and what you've fucking did to this city!" he yelled and kicked the body outside. He backed into Wal-Mart shooting any zombie that came within three feet of him. Bakura grabbed his leg as he grit his teeth in the pain.
Serenity and Ishizu quickly grabbed him and dragged him away from the closing doors. Everyone relaxed as the final doors shut, locking them inside and the eating dead outside. Bakura screamed for someone to help his leg as he felt sick. Malik got off of his motorcycle with the first aid kit in hand and Yugi also jumped off. He had all of the ammo in his hands and set them next to a scared Mokuba.
Serenity grabbed the first aid kit and was wrapping up Bakura's wound. "Are you going to be okay?" she asked after wiping away the blood on her hands on her blue jeans. Bakura nodded and sat up with a grateful look on his face. "Good, we don't need to lose anyone else to those things outside," she said looking at the dead pounding on the windows. Luckily, the windows were unbreakable and they were safe.
Ryou looked at Bakura and was crying. He didn't want his yami, his brother wannabe, to die. Ryou was actually scared for Bakura's safety than his own. Seto reloaded his gun and walked to a cash register. Joey looked at the teenaged CEO with interest. "What the fuck are you doing?" Seto looked at him with annoyance then back at the store. They all could hear something moving around in the clothes section of the store. Serenity stood up and stood behind Tristan incase anything did jump out.
Malik had grabbed a gun from the bag and followed Seto and Joey to see what the thing inside of the store was. Marik, Yami, Yugi, and Tristan were left to protect the others, the girls and Mokuba were to scared to do a thing, Ryou was helping his yami stand up, Bakura was wounded and the rest………
Joey pointed to a row of clothes and the three boys went down it. They wanted to know what the hell was freaking them out. Malik cocked the shotgun just in case he needed to use the gun. Suddenly, a zombie jumped out and landed on him. "FUCK!" he shouted and pushed the zombie away. The zombie was pissed off that its prey wasn't wounded or dead yet. It lunged again and its head was blown off. Seto lowered his gun and nodded to Malik. Malik checked his bare arms for wounds and found none. "Yeah, I'm fine. Why the fuck are these things here?" The other two shrugged and walked back to the rest.
Ishizu ran to her brother and hugged him. Malik hugged his sister in return and faced his friends. Joey looked at his sister and girlfriend with a smile. "I guess that we stay here until those things either rot or go away," he said.
Seto grunted and rolled his eyes. "It takes a body three years to decompose. There is no fucking way that they are just one day going to disappear and never come back, unless you shot them all but then let's say you run out of bullets. Then what? You still have over a million more of those dead things walking around. Even though I hate to admit it, we might have to stay here," he said.
"So now what?" Yami asked. The same thought was running through everyone's head. Seto shrugged. He didn't know what to do in a Wal-Mart or what was in it. Yugi also shrugged at Yami.
Joey lifted his head and smiled. "Well this place has sleeping supplies and tons of food. We have to at least stay here until we either run out of food or something happens to this place," he said. The others nodded and Ryou helped his limping yami to a chair. Bakura didn't look or feel so good. He felt sick and cold at the same time.
Mai walked with Ishizu and Serenity to a certain aisle and the boys were searching for supplies.
A/N: Okay, I'll leave off right here. I'll get more into detail of being zombie-fied and what happends to them all. Review because I absolutely love to read them. Thanks, faithful reviewers.
