Chapter Eight: Training

A/N: Hey my faithful reviewers! I know that I took a long time to update the last chapter; I had a lot of things to do. Actually my last tourniquet, Bakura did die but he still had a portion of his spirit in his ring so he was at least safe. Anyways, this chapter will be a lot of feelings told, zombie heads blowing up and of course, GUN USING! This time by people unexpected. Anyways, hope you all enjoy this chapter. I don't own the products used in this chapter.

Mokuba woke up and looked around the warehouse. Everyone was asleep and he was the only one up. Wasn't someone supposed to stay up to keep watch? Oh well, it didn't matter to him. He stood up and grabbed a Pop Tart to eat for breakfast. He walked outside and looked around him. No zombies in sight or in earshot. The warehouse was in the middle of a field. Wildflowers were surrounding the building filled with sleeping people and were blowing softly in the wind. The sun shone overhead giving the small boy a warm hug. (A/C: A little sappy, I know)

Mokuba looked around and saw sakura trees in full bloom and remembered that the Cherry Blossom Festival was suppose to go on for a week in Domino but since the city was in ruins by wrecked cars and zombies, there wouldn't be anyone alive to look at the beautiful sight that surrounded the city and in the park.

He walked to a cherry tree and picked a flower and laid it on the ground. Putting his hands together, Mokuba prayed for Tea's, Odieon's and Rolen's souls to be safe where ever they are. A zombie came walking up silently to the praying boy and would've eaten him but Mokuba grabbed a knife that he had taken from Malik and sliced through the zombie's neck, severing the head completely. (A/C: O.o Go Mokuba!)

"Stupid thing. Why are the dead rising and eating people? That's what's freaking me out," he muttered and walked past the corpse. He went back inside and grabbed himself another Pop Tart and ate it as he went out and sat on a dry rock. He started to think that his life would never be the same. His friends were dead, his brother's most trusted employee was dead and he was scarred for life about the dead eating people. Seeing them didn't scare him, it was when they were eating.

Ishizu awoke to Mokuba's footsteps and went outside to the beautiful scenery before the raven-haired child. "Mokuba?" she whispered, careful not to scare him. He turned around and saw the Egyptian witch walk up. Ishizu knelt beside the preteen and held him. "I'm sorry for what you witnessed last night," she said softly.

Mokuba returned the hug and also whispered his apologies. Though neither of them knew why, they stayed that way for an hour. Ishizu finally let go of Mokuba and stood up, her legs were stiff from kneeling but it seemed worth it. Mokuba stood up as well and walked inside the warehouse to find his brother and everyone up and moving about.

Seto looked at his brother and saw blood on his t-shirt. "Mokuba, are you okay? What happened?" he asked as he grabbed his little brother by the shoulders and stared in the little boy's eyes.

"Nothing, I went out to pray and a zombie almost got me. I killed it so don't worry. I wasn't bitten and I was scratched," he said trying to calm his worried brother.

"Honestly Mokuba, you could have warned one of us if you were going somewhere," Tristan said.

Ishizu walked up and placed a hand on the boy's shoulder. "He was with me and no harm came to him. He took care of himself though, he doesn't need to be babied that much anymore," she said with a motherly tone of voice. Marik and Malik looked at the lying Egyptian woman in pure shock and started to wonder when she became so motherly.

"If so, why in the world does he have blood on his shirt? He didn't get those last night because he was either around us or running away from those dead things," Seto protested, pointing to his little brother's shirt.

Mokuba sighed and dropped his knife from earlier. "Because a zombie came after me this morning so I killed it. It's still in the front if you want to see it. I chopped off its head and now if somewhere rotting in the sun," the preteen said and everyone was surprised.

"YOU DID WHAT?" Bakura shouted grabbing Mokuba by the shoulders and lifting him off the ground. "How in the world did you do that? Not even a S.W.A.T. member could've done that without getting bitten," he questioned.

Seto was really surprised and went out to see if his little brother was telling the truth. "Holy shit, he was," he mumbled. There in the grass, surrounded by flies was a head and next to it was a decapitated body. "Mokuba, you actually killed something," he said looking at his little brother. Ruffling the boy's hair, Seto sort of felt proud.

Yugi came out and looked around. "Sakura's in bloom," he said pointing to the cherry blossoms. "They were Tea's favorite flowers," he mumbled. Yami came up behind him and placed a hand on his hikari's shoulder.

Joey stretched before loading a couple of blankets in the cars they were driving. "How in the world did those dead things know that we were in Wal-Mart and not in here?" he asked.

Marik and Seto looked at each other with a lost look. Both of them were also confused about that. "Um, maybe they could hear something we couldn't," Tristan said, trying to help out Seto and Marik. Malik nodded his head and looked out to the open field.

"I don't think that they know that we're here," he mumbled and closed his eyes when the wind started to blow again. "Well, we might as well be off. Those things will be here and get us if we stay here for too long."

Mai rolled her eyes and started to pack. Since she was standing right next to a certain blonde, she could tell one thing at that moment. "We all need to shower though because Joey stinks," she said holding her nose and backing away from him, trying to fan the air around her.

"Hey, at least I smell better than those stiffs!" Joey yelled grabbing some clothes and a bar of soap. (A/C: They raided Wal-Mart) "Besides, you have blood in your hair and so you might stink too," he said as he also fanned the air and sprayed some air spray in her direction.

Marik raised an arm and smelled his pit. "Yeah, we all need to bathe cause we STINK!" he yelled and also grabbed some clothes. Ishizu grimaced as she watched her brother do the same thing his yami did. All except for the girls went to bathe; they figured that they might watch the stuff while the boys were gone. Little did they know that the undead were searching for the survivors of Domino City.

A zombie went over to the warehouse quietly and snuck around to catch one of the girls and eat her. The girls chatted while three other zombies came their way. One reached out and caught one of them by their hair. It pulled on the hair and popped of a wig? Serenity screamed a war cry as she chopped off the confused zombie's head. The other girls did the same. "They are almost as stupid as the boys," Mai said causing Ishizu and Serenity to laugh.

The boys ran back still wet from their bath, looking at the laughing girls in confusion. "Seren, are you okay? Why the hell were you screaming?" Joey asked as he grabbed his little sister by the arms. He had a shirt on but it was inside out and backwards. He had on one sock and his other foot was bleeding from the rocks he was running on.

"We're fine Joey. We knew that there would be more so we killed them. No big deal," she said while laughing at the fact that the other guys were just as messed up. Seto was pulling his socks on while hopping on one foot, Marik and his hikari were trying to put on the same shirt and got stuck so they ripped it in half it seemed as they were running. Tristan was hunched over panting because he was running so fast.

"You okay Tristan?" Ishizu asked while trying not to laugh at their funny antics. They were too funny falling all over the place and trying to get dressed at the same time.

"Yeah, just peachy," he muttered. As the boys got dressed properly, the girls decided to try their aim at shooting. Lining up glass bottles and cans, each girl started to shot their guns. BANG BANG BANG BANG Each shot was loud but their aim was dead on. Tristan whistled lowly as Serenity shot the glass bottles. Unbeknownst to them, the undead searching for them was attracted to the sounds and went to find where it was coming from.

Ishizu held the shotgun and fired it. BANG Even Seto was impressed. The girls knew how to shot guns but the boys on the other hand……. well, the only ones who didn't know how to shot was Malik and Mokuba. As the two of them were shooting, behind the bottles and cans that were being hit, the zombies walking towards the group got the bullets through the head.

"Mokuba, keep both eyes open when shooting," Joey told the preteen. Seto looked at Joey and rolled his eyes. Mokuba took the advice the blonde had given him and BANG another bottle and zombie lost its life to a bullet. "I think that we should quit. We are using way too much bullets and the sound might attract those rotting things over here and I'm not putting my girlfriend and sister in danger," Joey said and the others nodded.

Seto looked at the guns. "If the sound attracts them then we need silencers for the guns," he said holding one up and catching the sun's rays on it, making it glisten. They all nodded and went back to the warehouse.
