The next morning, the shrine was once again filled with the sounds of grunts and moans of pleasure as George and Saeko made love again. Ending with Saeko's pleasuring screaming before for it all ceased.
About an hour later, they were dressed, armed, and were back on the road. soon enough, they were at the Takagi Estate.
The Takagi Estate was a large estate owned by the Takagi family that was turned into a refuge for survivors of the outbreak. It was a massive house that contained all the luxuries that one would expect to find in a mansion. On the front lawn of the house were tents to house survivors.
However, George and Saeko weren't coming to the front entrance, they were coming up to the back gate, which was shut but somebody must've noticed them because it opened automatically.
"And now I'm getting horror movie vibes." George joked, getting a giggle from his girlfriend.
As they two walked past the gate and into the courtyard, they saw the door up ahead open and a familiar barking before Alice and Zero came running out towards them.
"You're back!" Alice cheered happily. "You're both back!"
She jumped and they caught her in a hug. "Course we're back, kid." George said with a smirk. "Takes more than the deadheads to take us down."
"Tone the ego down, my dear." Saeko said teasingly before she smiled at Alice as Zero ran around their legs. "Yes, we're back. We're sorry for worrying you all."
"Had to take the back way." George explained while crouching down to pet Zero behind the ears, much tot he dog's delight. "Come on. Everyone else is probably wanting to see us."
"Guys!" kohta came running out and stopped in front of them. "You're alive!"
"Of course we are." George smirked and crossed his arms as Saeko put Alice down. "You think we'll be easily bested by zombies?"
"Hell no!" Kohta laughed and the two fist bumped before bro hugging. They all started walking towards the estate. "But we were all worried when you didn't come back right away."
"The sun was setting and night was approaching." Saeko explained. "We didn't want to wander the streets after dark. There was too many zombies, and we might have come across someone desperate and crazy."
"Good point." Kohta nodded.
"Fuck, a warm bed." George said as he laid on the bed in his and Saeko's bedroom. Saeko was currently in the shower, taking the chance to get a nice, hot shower to clean off the smell of dried blood as well as the smell of sex from the night before.
"And a nice, hot shower." Saeko called from the bathroom. She was standing under the shower head, hands pressed against the wall, arching her back and letting the water run down her lustful body as she had her eyes closed in bliss at the feeling. "God, I needed this. Haven't bathed since we were at Rika's place, and I smelled like blood and sex."
"You're the one that wanted to start up again this morning." George said with a chuckle.
"Shut up before I drag you in here for another round." Saeko said.
"I wouldn't be opposed to that." George said as he walked over to look in and crossed his arms. Saeko looked over her shoulder with a smirk at him as she turned, displaying her naked body to him. "I need to wash as well, you know? I too smell like blood, gore, sex and who knows what else."
"Then get in here and we'll help wash each other~" Saeko purred, beckoning him in with a 'come hither' motion of her finger. George grinned and entered, shutting the door behind him.
About half an hour later, after a very long and relaxing yet steamy shower together, George and Saeko were freshly clean and dressed. George left the room to go for a walk around the place, while Saeko remained in their room to read a book, never keeping the satisfied smile off her face after the intense love making between her and her boyfriend.
As George walked, his thoughts went back to what he was thinking when he and Saeko were at the sandbar last night. 'Guess I'm going to do it/ Once I've gotten Takashi and Rei to their parents, or their parents come here... I'm going to find out if there's a cure to this apocalypse, or if there's an origin to it and stop it. Saeko will most likely want to come with me, and we did promise to be at each other's side through Heaven and Hell basically.'
"NOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAHHH!" George was startled out of his thoughts by the sound of Rei's screaming. Fearing the worst, George rushed out towards her room with his Desert Eagle pistols in hand. Reaching Rei's door, george kicked it open and aimed but paused at the sight that greeted him instead.
Rei was lying on the bed, on her stomach, naked as the day she was born with only a towel covering her ass. Takashi was on the bed with her. He was holding her down by her shoulders as she grabbed onto his pants, screaming in pain into his crouch. The reason for the screams is because Shizuka was behind the young woman, rubbing some kind of ointment on her back.
Shizuka and Takashi paused as they looked at George in surprise. George just raised an eyebrow. "Am I interrupting something?"
[Play The Walking Dead's theme]
The intro of the story first starts with a quick view of the spot on the stairs that Takashi and George would meet at, before showing the gates of the school as they moved, but there's no one to move it.
We then switch to showing the hallways of the school. Bloodied and with the bodies of the students that didn't make it. But still no zombies. The scene is then cut to couple of guns. Along the side of one of the guns was the name George Edwards
A boken is stabbed into a grass field, with the camera focused on it, and the background blurred out. Saeko Busujima is spelled on the wooden sword's blade. The camera then focuses on the background, showing that it was the city.
A gas station was then shown from afar with only the light shining it into view. Cutting quickly to a view of a bloodied handle baseball bat, the viewer sees the name Takashi Komuro next to it. Cutting quickly away from it, Rei Miyamoto is spelled next to her makeshift spear, that was leaning against the outside of the bus.
After a few shots of the city, we cut to a lone pistol on the ground with Kohta Hirano spelled next to it. The camera shifts and moves up to show that it was laying right in front of the gates of the Takagi house. With Saya Takagi appearing above it.
A lone medial bag with the name Shizuka Marikawa near it is seen in an empty room. A teddy bear is seen on the road with the names of Alice Maerasto and Zero near it.
As the intro was about to come to a close, the words Bladewolf101 presents appeared on screen, before it cuts to black, and the title is shown.
"The Living Dead"
Shizuka giggled after she had finished, while George exited the room. A little flustered after having just walked in on the three with Rei naked. It turned out that the nurse was spreading some special ointment on Rei's back because of her bad fall from the Humvee. When she was finished, the nurse exited the room. She was out of her school outfit and was wearing a blue turtleneck sweater and white capris.
"Alright, I fixed up Rei with my special formula!" She said, closing the door. From the outside, George could hear the two exes getting into some kind of argument.
"I swear, they argue like a married couple." George pinched the bridge of his nose. "Somebody should tell them to just fuck and get it over with before we all die from the sexual tension between them."
Shizuka giggled before telling him. "I'll go find Alice and make sure she and Zero are doing okay."
George nodded and she walked off to find the little girl, leaving George alone in by himself.
George stood there for a moment, wondering what he should do when he heard Rei suddenly shouting furiously. "My boobs are killing me because you used them to balance an AK-47! NOW GET OUT!" The next thing George knew was Takashi running out of the room, escaping the very pissed off girl.
"Girl problems?" George asked, smirking. Takashi looked at him and smiled too. "Seriously? You guys are broken up, and yet the two of you argue like an old married couple."
"Don't remind," Takashi said with a slight groan in his voice. But then he smirked at George and crossed his arms. "So, you and Ms. Busujima are a thing now, huh?"
George was a little taken aback before looking a little sheepish. Slightly embarrassed but also slightly amused by the fact that the two were pretty obvious when they came to the estate. "What gave it away?"
"You mean other than the fact that the two of you never left each other's side, were holding hands, and even took a shower together?" Takashi listened off with his smirk getting bigger. He then playfully punched George in the shoulder. "You sly dog! I knew you could do it! Finally, got the girl, you big hero?"
"Don't you have a girl with a bad back you should be talking to?" George said, knowing that was one of the driving forces of Rei breaking up with Takashi. He didn't talk enough.
"Don't you have a girl with purple hair you should be spending time with?" Takashi asked with a shrug.
George narrowed his eyes at him. "You're alright, Komuro." The two friends laughed. Then George started walking done the hallway. "Welp, I've better and check on the others and meet some of the locals. See ya!"
"Yeah, see you," Takashi said. As he walked off, George couldn't help but smile a bit at how nice it was to talk with his friend like they were still in high school, before the outbreak. It reminded him that his friends still cared for him and why he stuck with them for this long.
George wondered the halls aimlessly of the Estate. He was looking at the architecture of the build to see how defendable it was in the event of another attack or if the zombies go past the blockades and the gates. Most of the staff and housekeepers were left defenseless. Not even a pistol. Unless the guns were locked up until they were in a crisis. As he pasted a few people, they looked at him strangely. At first, as if they were approaching just another kid on the block, but then they saw the guns with him that they became wary and kept their distance.
He walked down the stairs to the first floor to see two men carrying a large box in through the front door. He watched as one of them's fingers slipped, and the box fell.
"You idiot! You're walking to fast!" The other man scolded. The two men got ready to pick up the box, and when they lifted it, George walked over and helped them.
"I've got you guys," he said.
"No, kid. It's alright. You just leave it to the big boys," the man said.
George raised an eyebrow. "The hell's that supposed to mean?" He inquired.
"Just go relax," the other man said before they walked away.
"Unbelievable." George muttered with a shake of his head. He would have thought that with the world going through this pandemic that it would have made it so that he and the rest of the high schoolers would be stopped seen as kids. But that wasn't the case. "Guess something's never change."
"Don't worry about it too much," said the voice of his beautiful girlfriend.
George turned around, and his eyes widened when he saw Saeko standing coming from another room, wearing a lovely kimono that was a stark contrast to how she dressed before, which were on the more erotic side. But now, she looked beautiful.
Saeko looked at her lover and saw him staring at her with mouth agape. She smirked a little, know what he liked her look. "What's the matter?"
Snapping out of it, George walked up to her and smile. "Nothing. In fact, you look amazing," he said. "Absolutely stunning. N-Not that you didn't before."
The purple-haired woman giggled and smiled. "Thank you," she said, kissing him on the lips. When she pulled away, she had her arms around him, and he had his hands on her hips. "You're a great leader, you know that?" She then smirked with a slight bit of flirtiness. "And I love great leaders like you."
George smirked and joked, "And I love sexy samurai school girls like you."
The two lovers started laughing and started kissing each other again. That was when Alice came in and saw the two kissing and laughing. "Hey! What is it?" She asked with a big innocent smile. George and Saeko pulled away as Alice and Zero ran over to them. "Why are you laughing? Did something happen?"
George chuckled before he replied with, "We were just talking. What about you, Alice, are you doing okay?"
"Yeah! I'm more than okay!" Alice exclaimed with a big smile.
It warmed George's heart to know that Alice really was doing well with the situation they were all in. No child her age should have to experience the horrors of this apocalypse. She's already adapted to this hell on earth. The nightmare that took her parents when she needed them the most.
George kneeled and rubbed her head gently. "I'm glad to hear that," he said with a gentle smile.
"FINE! YOU'RE ALWAYS RIGHT! ALWAYS!" Saya suddenly yelled from the top of the stairs on the second floor.
George sighed. "I better go see what's up with her." He said before leaving the two girls and walked up the stairs. When he got to the top, he turned to see Saya stomping in his direction with her eyes closed. "The hell's going on up here?"
Saya stopped to open her eyes. Her face was flustered a bit, and it looked as though she had the first sign of tears at the corners of her eyes. She glared at the teen. "You don't have to ask like such a prick!"
"Is that so, princess?" George asked with apparent mockery in his voice. "Then please, tell me how I'd like to address you."
"Maybe prick is the wrong word. I should have said asshole," Saya snapped.
"And I should have called you the princess of the bitches, now what happened?" George retorted.
Saya glared at him with her teeth gritting together, before letting it go. "I don't want to talk about it! Why would it matter? Just leave me alone!" She then ran past him and stomped down the stairs in a fury. "I can't take this anymore!"
"What the hell is up with her?" George wondered to himself. Sure, she was a bitch and a pain in the past, but she had never acted like this before.
"Sorry to draw you into our little discussion." Said a woman's voice to his right. George back down the hallway and saw a very beautiful woman with long, light purple hair that wore her hair down and had it much shorter in the front and pushed to either side of her face and purple eyes. She had a slender figure and dressed in a style that resembled the typical aristocratic attire; a thin red dress, a white cloth wrapped around her arms and mid to lower body, and a silver necklace with a small charm on the front and lipstick.
George realized this must be Saya's mother.
"I'm used to her outbursts and june tune her out or retort." George shrugged.
The woman giggled. "I'm Yuriko Takagi, Saya's other."
"George Edwards." George shook her hand. "Your house is very beautiful, you know. I'm thankful you and your husband allowed my group and I to take refuge here. And I also want to thank you for saving them at the road last night."
"Well, I wasn't going to let my daughter and her friends be devoured." Yuriko said with a smile. "You're the leader of the group, aren't you?"
"Well, they look to me as the leader, so I just took the position without asking for it, not that I wanted it in the first place." George said. "I'm only with them until I can get Takashi and Rei to their parents, then... I don't know."
He does know. he just didn't want to tell everyone as there may be different reactions to him wanting to go find out if there's a curse to this apocalypse, or a origin to it's creation.
"Well, we'll be taking the buses out to go look for more people who've survived thus far, but we'll only be taking the ones that can survive outside of this place." She said with a scowl. "Harsh, I know." George just listened as she changed the topic to an earlier one. "I want her to understand me. But no matter what I say, she won't listen. Maybe you could talk to her?"
George raised an eyebrow. "Convince her? I've barely been able to convince her of anything thing. How may I suppose to convince her to go with this plan?"
"You've convinced her to do one thing." She said, before smiling. "You've convinced her to follow you."
"I still don't see a reason for everyone has to gather around here," Rei complained. A few minutes ago, Takagi found George wandering around the grounds outside and swiftly ordered him to come with her and Kohta. Together, they rounded up the rest of their little group and brought them to Rei's room. The others were around the injured girl's bed, as Rei was lying on her stomach with the towel covering her.
"Oh, hush, unless you're able to stand!" George rolled his eyes.
"You can barely walk. Where else would we meet?" Takashi replied.
"I'm sorry, what are we talking about again?" Shizuka asked while eating a banana.
"Whether we can continue to move forward as a group or not," Saya said, looking out the window.
That's certainly not what George was expecting. After all the trouble they went through to get here in the first place. After all that they've fought against, was she really talking about separating from the group? It just made him question what she could be getting at, as it wasn't apparent to him.
"It's a good point," said Saeko. This surprised George, and it showed on his face when he turned to her. So, she explained it. "The group's bigger now. We may have to think more democratically since there are more of us than there were before. It's only far."
"Right. We have only two opinions. Whether we're going to be absorbed or..."
"...we split up," Takashi said, finishing her thoughts. "But why? Things only seem to be getting worse in the city. And your father seems to know what he's doing, and your mother too. They have a plan.
Saya gritted her teeth in anger. "Oh, don't they always?" she asked sarcastically. "No one knows more than I do. Her achievements. Don't think she won't shove them in your face. Maybe if she was as dedicated at home as she was..."
"Saya..." Takashi began.
"God, she's such a bitch."
"You shouldn't talk bad about your parents. Considering the situation we're in, it's been really tough for everyone."
"Did I ask for you to weigh in on my family life!? That sounds like something my mom would say!" "The Takagi's, always the Takagi's! How wonderful their life must be. I know, I know, my parents are the best! Even when something unexpected happened, they took action right away and protected their mansion and staff! After all. Everything had to be just perfect. The house, and the lawn, and most of all, their daughter! The apple of their eyes! It was positively suffocating! They wanted to know where I was and what I was doing every minute of the day! The leash they kept me on!"
"That's enough," Takashi said firmly.
"NO! It was never enough! Where was that leash yesterday when I was out there in the streets, fighting for my life! Where the hell were they!? As expected! They're really amazing! I shouldn't expect any less from them! THEY DIDN'T THINK I SURVIVED, SO THEY GAVE UP IMMEDIATELY!"
"That's enough!" George shouted firmly as he stepped forward, having been silent thus far. He glared at Saya. "You spoiled, selfish brat. You go on and on about how you think your parents don't care about you, that they didn't send anyone to look for you, well what about everyone else, huh?! Takashi and Rei don't even know if their parents are still alive! No one here knows if their relatives are still alive, or have become zombie food or zombies themselves! Everyone's lucky, because they still have parents to think about! Me? I lost mine! All I have is an aunt who i don't even know is alive! So quit your whining and grow up!"
It was silent in the room as everyone stared at George with wide eyes at his outburst, well they did but know most of them had their eyes closed as his words hit home hard. They did have parents out there, and they didn't know if they were alive or dead. Meanwhile, George didn't have his parents, he only had his adoptive aunt.
They were all pulled out of their mental states by the sound of rumbling from outside. George frowned and walked out on to the balcony with the others and saw a caravan of cars and large trucks, including one that had a flatbed.
"The feds," Kohta said.
"Yes," Saya began, standing next to George. "He's the former lord of Tokonosu. The head of the Takagi family." Down on the ground, a man stepped out of one of the cars. Judging the way that men that guarded the house bowed and how Yuriko stood waiting for him, it was clear who it was. "The man who judges everything by his rules."
With a clear view of the man, George saw his full appearance. A tall and intimidating man with jet black hair and fierce orange eyes that had the gaze of a predatory animal.
"My father..."
I'm going to end it right there.
