Jashan Grewal1: Because I've repeated it time and time again and it's always been the same thing. I intend on doing a wrestling story in the near future, but it'll start with the OC debuting in maybe 2012 or something and being paired with Alexa Bliss.
Derek 23: Thanks.
1jesus: Thanks.
ghostdog2AD: LOL!
Ryu Otsutsuki: No. This is strictly a OC/Saeko story, not a OC/harem story. Though I am thinking of doing a DMC/HOTD story that will be a hare, but I'll work on that once I've completed most of my current stories.
Disclaimer: I do not own Highschool of the Dead. I only own the OC George Edwards.
After George made sure it was clear, the boys worked together to barricade the door. Pushing one of the heavy desks up against it. When it was done, they panted a little. "What do you think?" Kohta asked.
"That's good. For now, let's rest," George told them, before walking over to one of the chairs and sitting down in it. He then heard the sink in the bathroom running and looked towards it. Saya had walked into it and was no washing her face by the way she was bending over skin and the sound of splashing water.
Kohta walked over to the bathroom and stopped at the doorway. Looking in with a worried expression. "Hey, just wondering, are you okay?" he asked.
After drying her face with a towel, she put on a pair of glasses. Saya straightened up and looked at Kohta.
This surprised Kohta and he said with a stutter, "You-You wear glasses." That got him a towel to the face. George looked back at them and saw her with the glasses on. He had to admit, she looked rather cute with them on, but there was no way in hell he was going to ever say it out loud.
"Shut up! My contact lenses keep on moving around," she exclaimed defensively at him and walked past him.
"We're gonna have to find a way out of here." George announced to the room. "We can't stay here forever."
Takashi nodded and turned to the nurse. "Dr. Marikawa, where are your car keys?" he asked.
Shizuka started rummaging through her handbag, which was filled with medical supplies. "They're in my bag."
"Are you sure we'll be able to fit in your car?" asked Saeko.
Shizuka froze and looked a little embarrassed. "Oops, I don't think of that…" she said, with an image of her small car popping into her head.
"What about the microbus we use for the clubs' away games and events?" Kohta said, now standing near the window and staring out it. George walked over to him and looked down at the bus in question.
"Could do. Big enough for all of us." George nodded with a grin.
"That's fine, but where are we going," Shizuka asked.
"I'm not sure, but the plan is to make sure that your families are okay," the 18=year old boy told them. "We'll start with the families that live the closet from here and bring them to a safe house or area."
"What will we do after that?" Takashi asked.
"After that, we'll do whatever it takes to save what remains-" He was interrupted by Rei gasping. George and everyone turned towards her and saw her looking up at the tv, which she'd turned on to watch the news.
"What is this?" she whispered. Saeko stood up and walked over to the remote and turned up the volume.
"What is it, Rei?" asked Takashi. He stood up and walked over to stand next to her. Saeko saw that she was standing next to George, but turned back to the TV as the newscaster started talking.
"…in response to the riots raging all over the country, the government has started taking emergency measures to counteract the outbreaks that've been occurring around the city."
"Outbreaks!?" Takashi exclaimed in confusion and anger. "What do they mean 'outbreaks'?" Saeko changed the channel to a different newscast. This one showed a newswoman in a street with police. Standing around filled body bags that were being removed from an ambulance.
"It's been feared that more than ten thousand have been victimized in the area so far-" There were several loud gunshots from the police. She recoiled and the camera was turned to show the agents and police surrounding the dead bodies. "Regain control of the situation in this state of emergency. Emergency Disaster Relief has been—" When more gunshots were heard, she turned around and showed that some of the body bags were sitting up. The people inside them rising from the dead. The police officers gunning down the zombies. "It's gunshots. The police are finally using firearms! From what I can see—"
The signal was cut off when the camera fell, the reporter screamed in terror, and the gunshots got closer. With the signal cut, the TV turned to static that echoed inside the room. Everyone stared in shock at what just happened.
Then there was a screen that said; "Please Stand By," before it cut to a woman in a TV studio with a paper that was just handed to her. "Uh…there appears to be a problem with our remote. From now on, we'll bring you the story from inside the studio. The condition outside seems extremely chaotic, so stay home unless it's absolutely necessary to go outside. We'll bring you more stories as soon as it's safe to cover the current situation from the site."
BANG!
The people in the office were startled when Takashi hit his fist on one of the desks. "Is that all?!" He yelled in anger. "Why didn't they tell us anything else?!"
"They're trying not to cause a panic," George told him.
"Wow, you're actually right," Takagi said half-heartedly.
"Fuck off, Saya," George said, leaning against a desk and crossed his arms.
"A panic?" asked Rei.
"Yeah, you idiot!" Saya said harshly, before pushing up her glasses. "First panic, then chaos. Chaos causes a disruption of order. And then, when order is disrupted…well you should just hand it all over to the walking corpses."
"At 2:45, Eastern time, a biological pandemic as swept across North America," said a reporter from CNN as George stopped on that channel. "Government authorities have evacuated the White House and will be relocated to a command center aboard the aircraft carrier George Washington. However, there are also reports that the transfer of power is in preparation for the use of tactical warheads to combat the infection. All contact with Moscow has been lost. Beijing has been set ablaze. London has been able to regain order, while in Paris and Rome, there are reports of looting and violence. The government officials have declared a state of martial law—"
The TV started to lose its signal and was cut to static. George sighed and turned off the television. Leaning on the desk with his fists, he looked down with a troubled expression.
"It's all over the world." He muttered.
"That's crazy," Kohta said. "Everything was normal when I checked the internet this morning."
"I can't believe this…" Rei stared at the turned off TV in a state of horror. One similar to when she saw Hisashi turning into one of the living dead. "…This happened all over the world in the matter of a few hours…" she moved close to Takashi and held his arm. "But they'll stop it, right? The military… they have to stop it…from spreading, I mean… Everything is going back to normal soon."
"Unlikely." George said bluntly and honestly. "This is a pandemic. There's nothing we can do."
"A pandemic…" Shizuka muttered.
"It's the outbreak of an infectious disease. An epidemic. Think of it as like the Spanish Flu in 1918." George said.
"More than 600 million people got infected and over 50 million died from it. You remember how much of a panic Swine Flu caused? Well square that," Saya explained.
Shizuka then said, "Not to be disagreeable, but I think this is more like the Black Death from the 14 Century."
"1/3 of the European population died," Saya said in agreement. "You're smarter than you look."
"So how did the outbreak end?" Takashi asked.
"Well, there are many theories," said Shizuka. "It's usually stopped when too many humans die. There wouldn't be enough people to spread the disease."
"But now all the dead still move and start attack you," Kohta said, looking out the window at the Dead below them.
"Are you saying there's no reason for this outbreak to stop?" Saeko asked with her arms crossed. That hung around in the air for a moment, before Shizuka perk up.
"The weather's going to be hot," she said smiling. "They might not be able to move if their flesh decomposes."
"How long does it take for that to happen?"
Shizuka looked down at her fingers and started to count. "In summer, some parts of the body can become skeletal in about twenty days. But it takes considerably longer during winter…" She then smiled as she came to her conclusion. "Couple of mouths. That's not too terribly long."
"You're kidding," Saeko said. "She's not smarter than she looks."
"Even if that was the case, we don't even know if that'll apply to zombies," George said with his arms crossed. He shook his head and grabbed his axe, getting everyone's attention. "We'll figure all that out later. From now on we stick together, possibly gather a few more people. We have a better chance at surviving if we work together like a team. Understood?"
All were at an agreement and got ready to escape the school and run to the bus. Rei grabbed her makeshift spear. Kohta readied his nailgun and Saya grabbed her bag while fixing her glasses. Shizuka grabbed her media bag and hugged it to her body. Saeko picked up her boken. Takashi grabbed his bat. George stood ready with his axe in hand.
"The front is our only bet to making it to the buses." George told the group, before walking over to the door. He reached for the door handle, but stopped when he heard the sound of moaning. It was the Dead. Likely heard their commotion.
George looked at the others They got the message and got ready to run.
Jack nodded and grasped the handle. He breathed in and opened the door. There were only three zombies. He quickly axed them down. The group then started running, fighting through the hallways of the school.
Those three zombies were the only ones that they've encountered. They continued down the hall with caution before stopping at a stairwell. They all looked down at the zombies that were roaming around in the courtyard. "Let me make something clear, there's no need to engage in a fight unless it's necessary," Saeko said to the group. "Do whatever you can to avoid a fight, you got it?"
"Remember, they're sensitive to sound, so keep it quiet," Saya told them. And they're strong enough to break through regular walls and doors. And when they've got a hold on you, they're gonna tear you to shreds, so be careful."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" There was a terrible scream from a female student. And it was near. The group took off in the direction it came from, hoping to get there before anything could happen and stop them from getting killed. It wasn't long before they got to the location, and George saw it was coming down another stairwell. He ran towards it and looked down the stairwell to see a group of five students being surrounded by a crowd of the Dead. Three boys, and two girls. The boys were trying to hold off the zombies were bats and poles, trying to protect the girl.
One of them was about to get attacked, only for Kohta to shoot it in the head.
The others leapt into action. Well, Saeko was the one that leapt. She jumped off the railing and landed onto the landing and brought her boken down onto the head of a zombie. George and Takashi ran down and stairs. Two zombies turned towards them. George jumped down the steps and planted his axe down into the head of the dead student. Blood and brain matter splattered out of it, before the teenager kicked the zombie away. As Takashi and Rei fought their own dead opponents, George turned towards the two zombies that were going after the students. He charged and killed one, before Saeko killed the other.
George sighed and turned towards the students. The survivors looked at him with wide eyes, seeing him with bloody clothes and an equally bloody weapon. He looked like a serial killer out of a horror movie. "Any one of you been bitten?" he asked.
"What?" asked one of the girls asked. "No! No one."
George held up an index finger to his lips. "They react to sounds," he said, before whipping off the blood and brains off his axe. Just so he didn't seem threatening to them, he put it away. "We're getting out of here. If you want, I suggest that you come with us if you want to live."
"O-Okay," said the other girl.
With the group now bigger than before, the students and nurse quickly made their way down the stairs and reached the front doors. But when George went to turn around the corner leading to the area with the shoe-lockers he back up immediately. There were a ton of Dead roaming and stumbling aimlessly around. More than what the group was going to be able to handle if they were going to get by quietly.
"Man, there's a bunch of them," muttered Takashi. Trying to not alert the Walkers.
"From what I can tell, the only thing they react to are sounds," Saya said. "They can't see us, so it's pointless to hide from them."
"Why don't you go down there and prove that theory?" Takashi suggested, which got her to shut her mouth. George may have disliked the girl's personality, but he would never question her smarts and had confidence in her theory.
"But even if we keep going through inside the school, once we get attacked, we're going to be stuck," Saeko said with her arms crossed.
"We have to go through the gate, we don't have any choice," Rei said.
"Someone needs to go and confirm Takagi's theory. Don't suppose you want to volunteer." Saeko looked at the pink-haired girl out of the corner of her eye. Everyone remained silent for a moment.
George sighed before he walked down. "I'll go."
Takashi said, "No, I'll do it."
"I think I should go ahead first," Saeko said
"We don't have time to argue." George said quietly. "Stay back, just in case."
"But why, George?" Takashi asked abruptly, making George stop when he started to walk. "You've done so much already."
George shrugged. "Gotta take one for the team, right? But if this goes wrong and I get bit... kill me right away." He walked down the stairs as the group shared a surprised, troubled and disturbed look.
George reached the ground level, axe gripped tightly in his right hand. Outside, he was calm and stoic, inside he was scared out of his mind. He then stopped in the middle of the area, and George remained still. Watching some of the Dead roam around him. Everyone else watched from the stairs, nervous for him.
Sweet rolled down his cheek, as a zombie approached George. As it opened its mouth to moan, the teenager's nostrils were hit with the bad smell of its breath before he soundlessly sidestepped, trying not to gag at the smell of blood, flesh and human parts. George watched as it kept going. Even when its foot touched his toes, it didn't notice him.
'Saya was right. They really can't see me.' George released a small sigh of relief and smiled a little.
He looked down and saw a bloodied shoe. Carefully, he picked it up and tested the weight before smirking and threw it down the corridor. Making a loud bang that as it hit the wall. All the Dead turned towards the sound, and started walking towards it. Within a second, George was no longer surrounded by zombies and he walked over to the entrance doors of the school.
He pushed them both open and held them, before Saeko came and help. She held open one while he held the other. Takashi and the others moved quickly but quietly out of the school.
Clang!
That was the sound of a metal pole being carried by the last student hitting against the banister of the staircase. It startled and frightened the group of survivors because the sound echoed all throughout the hallways and was even heard outside.
Everything froze, before the moaning of the Dead was heard throughout the air.
"RUN!" Takashi yelled, and the students and nurse did just that.
"Why did you have to go and shot?!" Saya yelled at Takashi as she stood by the doors. "We could've made it by just taking care of the ones that were close by if you hadn't said anything!"
A zombie was about to attack her, before Saeko knocked it in the head.
"The sound echoed anyway, so it wouldn't have done any good!" Rei said.
"Get to the bus! GO! GO! GO!" George yelled, before running and cutting down zombies.
All of them followed him and charged. George, Takashi, Rei, and Saeko were at the front, bashing zombies in the head if they got in the way. Kohta was more behind with the Shizuka and Saya, shooting zombies with his nailgun. Everyone else followed close behind on the path being made by the fighters.
As they turned around the corner of a fence and saw the bus in the parking with a lot of zombies. George took out some more zombies as Takashi bashed away a zombie. Saeko leaped up with her boken raised up, before bringing it down on another zombie's head. Rei used her broom-spear to knock the Dead out of her way. Kohta still had ammo in his nailgun and shot more zombies.
George stopped when he heard one of the students scream in pain and turn towards him. He saw one of the boys getting eaten as what he could only guess is the student's girlfriend was being held back by Saya.
"Just forget him!" Saya yelled at her. "One you get bitten, it's pointless!"
George chopped down two more zombies before noticing the girlfriend break off from the group. "Wait!" He yelled as she ran towards the undead and threw herself onto the boyfriend and gave up on life. "Goddammit! Come on!" He turned and ran on with the others towards the bus.
"Ms. Shizuka, the key!" Takashi yelled as they got close to the bus.
Shizuka made it over to the bus and pulled out the keys to the bus. She opened the door, before she and the students started to get on. The nurse then went over to the driver's seat, as Takashi and Saeko stepped on-board. The nurse started it as George backed up to the bus and chopped a zombie's head off when it got too close before turning to get on. However, when he stepped in, he heard people calling from behind. George turned around and saw a rather large group of students, and a teacher running towards the bus.
"We've got more coming!" He yelled. However, when he saw who the teacher was, George couldn't believe it and glared. The man had a very thin frame and looked like a fragile man with black eyes and black hair what was almost shoulder length. He was wearing a black pinstripe suit with a white dress shirt inside it, along with a yellow tie. He also wears black-framed glasses. "You've got to be fucking kidding me."
"Who's that?" asked Takashi.
"That's Mr. Shido of Class 3-A," Saeko told him.
Rei looked shocked to see him too. But she looked at him with a hate-filled glare. "…Shido." Rei whispered with venom.
"We can go now!" Shizuka said to everyone.
"Then let's go!" George said.
"Wait! The others have to get on!" Takashi said.
"They're in front of us. Any more and we won't be able to drive through here."
"Run 'em down," Takashi said in a stern tone.
Saya, who was sitting with Kohta, sighed and said, "If Dr. Boobs tries to drive over that many, we'll flip the bus."
Takashi knew this and was about to run out of the bus to help the remaining students and teacher get onto the bus. However, Rei grabbed him by his arm and stopped Takashi. "We don't have to save him!" She shouted hotly.
Takashi looked at his ex-girlfriend incredulous. "What do you mean we don't have to save him?"
Rei glared at him. "We don't have to help him! We should just leave him here to die!" She shouted into his face.
George wanted to agree, as he hated Shido with a passion, but that didn't mean that he was going to leave the other students to die with him. He didn't like it, but if having Shido live meant that they lived, then so be it. After all, the man was decent enough to lead a group of survivors to safety, even stopping to direct the students to the bus.
But ever little positive thought about the man was tarnished by what George saw next.
One of the students that were with Shido fell over and landed at the teacher's feet. George watched at Shido stood there while the student grabbed his leg. Begging him for help.
Not to George's shock the man raised his foot up and brought it down on the boy's face. Making blood come out of his mouth and nose, as his glasses broke.
'God, one day, I'm gonna make sure this bastard is bitten by a zombie and devoured by them.' George thought darkly.
"Drive!" George shouted once Shido was on.
"Hang on!" Shizuka floored the gas pedal and the bus started moving. Driving the bus towards the front gate of the school. Swerving the bus side to side as to not hit any group of the Dead. Hesitant to even hit any of the former students.
"To the gate!" Saya yelled.
"I know!" Shizuka replied back as she continued to drive the bus from hitting any of the zombies. But then she saw that they were coming up on a large group the Dead were standing in front of the gate. If they were going to make it out of the school, then they had to get through the Walkers. Shizuka looked down. "They're not human's anymore," she said, trying to steel herself. Shizuka took an oath as a doctor to never kill another person, but… "They're not people anyone…They're not alive anymore!"
The busty doctor slammed on the accelerator. The bus was speeded up quickly, and plowed right into the horde of the living dead. George quickly grabbed onto a pole and braced himself for impact.
The bus of survivors smashed through the gates of Fujimi Academy and George was nearly sent flying off his feet. They then landed in a pile of Cherry Blossoms that sent up a wave of the pedals, before the nurse turned the bus and drove the bus away from the school. Their time there was over, but it wasn't over yet.
George sighed and collapsed in the seat next to Saeko, dropping his axe as all was silent on the bus. Kohta was sitting with Saya, adding more tape to his nail gun to keep it together.
"I can't believe we did it," Takashi said quietly.
"Yeah." said Kohta an equally quiet voice.
"Thank God we did," said Shido as he walked up to where the first group. He then looked at George and Saeko. As the purple-haired girl was cleaning the blood and brains off her weapon, Shido placed a hand on her chair and smiled. "I take it either you or Mr. Edwards has been appointed leader?"
'I'm tempted to drive this axe into that bastard's throat.' George thought with a glare.
"There's no such thing." Saeko said calmly. "We just work together in order to survive."
George didn't like that smug, sinister look that appeared in Shido's eyes. "That's not good. In order to survive, we definitely need a leader. A leader with value. With confidence."
A few seconds of silence later, a teen in the back of the bus speaks up. "The city!" They exclaim, making everyone look out the left hand side windows to see the ruins of what used to be the city in question.
Smoke billows out of the tops and sides of multiple houses, while cars and trucks can be seen covered in fire, and tipped onto their sides. There are black figures that roam through the streets, indicating what had happened to the citizens that couldn't get away in time. This sight makes everything that's happening all the more real, and a depressing cloud hangs over the former students inside the bus. Finally, just after the bus rams into another infected that had been walking towards a convenient store, a teen in the back speaks up.
"Shi~~~~t, It's only dangerous if we keep going! First of all, why do we have to go with Komuro and the others?!" He questions, making everyone in the primary group glare slightly. "You guys are the ones who decided to go back to the city! Maybe we should have just found a safe place inside the school! If you ask me, we were better off where we were."
"He's right," said another student. "I kind of agree with Tsunoda. We should barricade ourselves-"
The bus suddenly came to a halt. The tires screeched against the road as Jack was almost about to hit the back of the chair in front of him, but he was able to bring his foot up and stop himself. Shizuka unbuckled herself, making her boobs jiggle, and leaned over to look at everyone. But this just left her large breasts hanging for everyone to see, and some gawked at. "Okay, you all, that's enough!" she exclaimed. "I can't focus on the driving with all this yelling!"
"Yeah, whatever," Tsunoda said.
"How about you tell me what you wanna do," Saeko said.
Tsunoda turned to glare at her, which pissed George off a little. Tsunoda then pointed at finger at Takashi. "I just can't stand this guy!" He yelled. "I hate him!" Kohta got ready to use his nailgun on the guy, but Saya held him back. George grabbed his axe but Saeko placed a hand on his arm.
"Why?" Takashi stood up to confront him. "What the hell did I ever do to you? I don't even know."
"You know-!" The teenager rushed forward with his fist ready to punch him, only for Rei to swing the side of her staff hard into Tsunoda's stomach. Knocking the wind out of him and making some saliva fly out of his mouth. He fell to the floor in a fetal position, clutching his stomach and coughing up.
"Asshole," said Rei, talking down to him.
The moment was then ruined by the clear sound of someone clapping. "Bravo," said Shido, stepping forward towards the front group. "Simply outstanding teamwork." He stopped clapping. "I'm impressed. I commend both of you. At any rate, a conflict like that merely proves my point; we need a leader. We do."
"So, you're gonna run for the position then." Takagi says, adjusting her glasses as Shido looks over at her.
"I'm a teacher, Ms. Takagi. And while mature, all of you are barely in your teens." He says. "That alone makes it very clear who's more qualified to assume such a role! I have experience!" Shido then turned towards the students in the back, his former class, and held out one arm at his side and the other one to his chest. "Why, just moments ago I saved all of these brave students! What do you save, guys?"
That alone made George want to drive his axe into Shido's skull. He may have saved the last students on the bus, but what he did to the other one was still fresh in his head. Tsunoda looked at Shido with admiration, and then to George's and everyone in the front's shock, the rest of the students in the back started standing and clapping. This couldn't be real. Shido? The snake in the glass? Why would they really vote for him? George may not have seen himself as a leader, but he vowed to make sure Takashi and his group are safe and survive to find their families. The students with Shido couldn't be that stupid.
Then to add to his anger, Shido took a bow for the students clapping for him. And it wasn't a simple one. It was like this mock bow or like he was a stage performer after a play. Shido then turned back around to face the front. "There, it's been decided," said Shido. "The majority seems to have made the choice quite clever, yes?"
"God, I just want to cut his head off." George muttered, getting a small chuckle from Saeko beside him.
Suddenly Rei was out of the bus. Takashi quickly ran to the front of the bus and called out to her. "Rei!"
Rei turned around to face him with a looked at him with an expression overtaken by fury. Which also made her boobs bounce for some reason. "No way! I won't do it! I'm not saying here with him!"
"Get back in the bus," he said quietly, almost begging her.
"Well, there's nothing I can do if you want to act in accordance with all of us," Shido said overdramatically.
"So fucking dramatic." George muttered with an eye roll at Shido.
"Komuro!" yelled Saya. George turned around to see that Takashi had jumped off the bus. He ran towards the front of the bus and leant out the open door.
"Get your asses back inside!" George yelled at them. But they didn't listen.
"Wait!" Takashi stopped Rei by grabbing her arm. "Get back on the bus. When we get to the city, we'll get off. I don't want you to leave."
"That's why I told you that you should have left him to die! Now you're regretting that!" Rei snapped.
"No! We're both regretting this!"
There was a sudden sound of a large vehicle. George turned his head and walked over to a window on the right side of the bus. There was another bus coming their way. It was out of control, everyone was likely getting attacked on it by zombies, and it was coming at the group.
Saeko was also looking at it and as George ran over to the open door, she turned to Shizuka and yelled, "Okay, you need to punch it!"
"Guys! Get out of there, NOW!" George shout out the door of the bus. The runaway bus crashed into one of the abandoned cars on the side of the road. Causing it to flip on its side, but was still heading towards Takashi and Rei. Skidding across the road on its side. Takashi quickly tackled Rei into an underpass that they were in front of it, just before the bus collide into the support structures on either side, and then bursting into flame.
George ran out of the bus and ran over to where there was a crack between the underpass and the crashed vehicle.
"Takashi! Rei! You guys okay?" He called out to them, before seeing zombies that were on fire crawl out of the bus. Even breaking through the front window. George backed up and chopped down two zombies
"At the police station!" Takashi yelled from the other side. George looked in the direction his voice was coming from, and saw Takashi standing near the crack on the other side. "Meet up at the East Police station!"
"What time?"
"Seven o'clock! If not today, then tomorrow at the same time!"
The bus started to fall apart and its blocked George's view of his friend. The teenager growled at how useless he felt. His friends were separated from the others and there was nothing that could be done. The fires were growing too fast and too strong. And now he had to deal with fire zombies.
However, the zombies weren't fire-resistant and fell over.
George rushed back and climbed back on the school bus. He closed the sliding door behind him and looked at Shizuka. "He said to meet up at the East Police station," he said. "But it looks like we're not taking this way."
"Okay, but we're running out of fuel," Shizuka said, pointing to the fuel gauge. "We wouldn't have enough to get there."
"There's a gas station up this road," George said when he walked up to the front of the vehicle. He pointed down the road. "Just head down this road to it."
As the bus started moving, George walked back to where Takashi had sat down. Wanting to make sure that Shido didn't try anything while everyone was asleep. When his bottom hit the seat, he sighed in exhaustion.
There was no time for him to sleep. He was going to stay awake, and Saeko could see that. She was a little surprised just how much of his health he had been willing to sacrifice just for them. It was honestly admirable...
And that's it for this chapter everyone. I hope you all enjoyed it.
