Hearing the screaming the loud screaming coming from the intercom this caused Peter to stand up swiftly "what the hell" he said looking towards it as the other students began to freak out he pushed his way through, out of the class? No to Yuma keeping her standing and safe so she didn't get trampled. Though this would be a moment where he held her close held her tight grunting as they were both pushed into a wall.
While this did cause a light blush for Yuma the sheer reality at what was going on would be quick to snap her out of it, "are you ok?" came a soft grunt from Peter as he let go since they were clear from being trampled. "Y yeah I'm ok to thank you," she said as the commotion for the screaming continued. "We have to try and get out of here".Peter spoke as he glanced down at Yuma who seemed shaken up.
"O-Okay…"She nodded as she watched as Peter backed away from her making her frown by the sudden chill she felt.
Walking over to the open door that their classmates were very quick to run through. Slowly poking his head out he noticed a few still bodies littering the floor. Not wanting to find out if they were dead or not; he motioned for Yuma to stay quiet and follow her as they walked down the hall silently.
"T-There is so much screaming" Yuma mentioned as the sounds were seeming to get more abundant the closer to the exit the students got too.
"Yeah, I know...Just stay quiet" He said as he slowly approached the stairwell giving them the option to walk up or down.
"We should go to the roof and scout what's going on," He said not seeing the adamant look on Yuma's face as she shook her head.
"No, we need to go down...I know that something is going on but I need to make sure my grandmother is safe" She said making Peter look at her confused.
"But Yuma!" He was about to explain why that was not a smart move until a groan from the bottom stairwell caught the attention of both of them.
The figure coming up the steps was a student to the school; Yuma noticed that her clothes seemed to be bloody which made the teen back away a little. Peter picked up that the student in front of them was just making some sort of groaning type of sound and not asking for help or anything.
"Yuma" Peter went to speak but before he could even blink the student lunged up at them sinking her teeth into Yuma leg due to her backing up before the student could bite into her shoulder.
"Ah!" Yuma screamed falling back as the student lifted her leg tearing a chunk out of her leg. Peter snarled lifting his leg and smashed his foot into the students' face knocking it back down the steps watching as their head hit the wall hard and slump on the ground not moving.
"Peter" Yuma cried looking at her leg that had a piece missing and bleeding heavily. Peter cursed quickly stripping his school coat off and wrapped it around her wound before gathering her in his arms and walked up the stairs leading to the roof.
"I-It hurts so much" Yuma sobbed making Peter shut his eyes tightly feeling guilty he didn't react fast enough. As the pair ended up on the roof the sound of helicopters could be heard flying overhead.
"Just sit here" He whispered to her gently as he placed her against the wall noticing how her skin seemed to be a little paler than it normally is which worries him some.
Standing up he walked over to the edge of the roof seeing the horror around him. In the schoolyard students just like the one who attacked Yuma was eating one another. The largest building in the city was currently on fire about to collapse into the road and sirens of all sorts rang into the air.
"W-What the fuck" Peter could feel the fear flood his system as he looked at all the carnage.
Down back in the school held up in the art room nursing her sprained wrist was Sakura, having been backstabbed by her friends so they could getaway. She would notice the sliding doors at first she might have thought it was more of the crazy people but instead, it was Dima pulling amelia along with him swiftly closing the sliding door but not slamming in, in his hand was a bloody letter opener and his hand was half-covered in the red gore.
"We… we should be safe here," he said in between pants as he noticed the pinkette in the distance "oh hai," he said with a light wave, Dima wasn't the type to get exhausted easily, he had to take out one of those freaks with the letter opener, as he plopped down into a nearby chair setting the letter opener onto the table.
Meanwhile, amelia had a grossed out look on her face whenever she looked near the blood-covered Dima, all she had was light bruising and blood splattered onto her sweater as Dima had saved her from getting chomped on earlier. As she took off the jumper to wipe any blood off her face "my jumper" she said with a low whine, causing a grumble to come from Dima "what? Did I ruin it again princess? Would you have rather I let that guy bite you?".
This caused Amelia to wince as she sat down and Dima looked over to Sakura "you're looking a bit banged up there? You ok?". She looked up at him as she drew her knees closer to her chest trying to ignore the pain in her rib.
"No… No I'm not" she whimpered out remembering back to what happened
It was something that happened very quickly and before Sakura could even react she can feel her desk she was sitting in getting lifted and tossed with her in it. Luckily she covered the back of her head and slid out the desk with minimum damage. She got her feet and rushed to the door where the students were making a break for the door.
"Sakura!" She can hear her friends calling out to her but before she can react she felt someone's foot trip her up in the hall and as a new wave of students is approaching. Turning to who was the culprit her eyes widen seeing Beatriz above her.
"Sorry, no hard feelings" She turned running down the hall. Sakura went to gather herself until she felt a kick to her ribs that knocked the breath out of her and someone else stepping on her wrist.
"Sorry but you need to be sacrificed so we can survive," Akiko said as she and Akira ran off after Beatriz she can feel the pain swelling into her sprained wrist and most likely bruised ribs. Mustering the last strength she had; she crawled into the closet room and closed the door which was the art room.
Thinking back on that caused her to curl up into a ball again and tears to appear into her eyes"I… I don't want to talk about it. Leaving Dima and Amelia looking at the pinkette with worried eyes.
Down the hall from them was two familiar faces of Nakayama and Keiko. Naka couldn't help but groan in annoyance wiping the blood off the small knife he had looking at the corpses around him he then looked towards Keiko who seemed perplexed looking at each number on the walls.
"So where are we going again?" he asked as Keiko sighed looking over her shoulder at him
"the headmasters office, I wanted to see something" She turned back looking for the room she was looking for and saw it just in the middle with blood-stained doors. Opening it slowly revealing a cowering Rini, A dead headmaster, and counselor with arrows in their heads with Kikyo standing in front of them with an arrow aimed at them.
"Woah there sweet cheeks but we aren't the freaks," Nakayama said with his hands up in the air but Kikyo just looked between the two ready to fire.
Keiko sighed and in a blink of an eye ripped the arrow from Kikyo and tossed it to the side causing the blonde to stumble back in surprise by Keiko's fast movements.
"You should never hesitate," She said as she walked over to the headmaster desk sitting in it as Rini who stopped crying looked over to the pink-haired girl who seemed to be searching for something.
"Did he owe your father any money?" Naka asked making her nod silently. Kikyo looked between the two finally piecing together what's going on.
"Y-Your part of the Yakuza aren't you?" she asked making Keiko looked at her before going back to her search leaving Naka to deal with her.
"Look, to be honest, you're asking a lot of questions," Naka said crossing his arms his eyes peering down at her making Kikyo glare.
"I don't think it should really concern anyone now that there are undead freaks walking around," She said making Keiko look at Naka with an eyebrow raised.
"Undead freaks? I just thought people took some bad drugs" Naka sarcastically said. It was obvious they were undead by the fact the people hate wounds that will kill a person in seconds only to come back up in search of any type of human meat.
"Found it...Bastard is holding out on us" Keiko said holding a wad of money in hand. Naka nodded as he walked over grabbing it and sliding it into his pockets since Keiko didn't have any.
"Alright time to bounce" Rini looked fearful and stood up getting in front of the door shaking her head.
"Come on kid move" Rini glared as Naka stared down at her making her tremble under his intense stare but she stomped her foot and shook her head once more.
"No, we need your help getting out of here! Numbers are everything!" Keiko was surprised by her outburst but sighed crossing her arms.
"Alright want us to stay you have us," She said looking down at Rini who smiled and gave a nod. Before anyone can move or say anything the door behind Rini opened making Naka react quickly by grabbing Rini forearm and pulling her away as Kikyo raised her kendo sword she had and pointed it at the intruder.
"Um hey," Dima said nervously looking at the small group of students as Sakura and Amelia poked their heads in.
"Hi" Naka replied looking at the three new faces.
"F-Fuck" Yuma hissed her leg gushing blood despite Peter wrapping it. She can feel her body getting hot as soon as they got on the roof and it wasn't from the sun. She felt woozy and like she can puke.
Peter made a makeshift weapon with a broom and was standing near the edge looking out still trying to form in his head what was going on. He couldn't stop looking over to Yuma who seemed to grow paler and getting weaker.
"Yuma you okay?" He asked walking up to her when he noticed her shaking. He crouched down as he placed a hand on her shoulder but it was slapped away shocking him.
"D-Don't touch me" She coughed her voice sounding ragged.
"Yuma?"
"I'm not going to make it Peter...Whatever those things are...They seem to be spreading by their bites...J-Just look at me within a few hours i'm running a fever and look like I seen a ghost" She took a deep breath but broke out into a fit of coughs as blood came out her mouth dripping down her chin as she looked up at the sky her onyx black eyes fully blood-shot.
"Yuma! J-Just take deep breaths I-I'm sure it will go away soon" Peter said trying to give her some kind of hope but he knew what was happening...His best friend was dying.
"Peter...I want you to kill me...I don't want to be one of those things…"She whimpered making Peter look up at her in shock as tears filled his eyes.
"No...No Yuma don't talk like that" He said as he lifted her hands his body shivering by the coldness in them.
"P-Please Peter I-I rather die here and now by the man I love" she cried softly as she finally confessed her true feelings making Peter look at her in shock.
"Yuma I-I can't do this now! You need to stay with me!" He cried out his hands tightening around hers as Yuma gave a weak smile.
"G-Go find Sakura-Chan and b-be happy with someone you actually like…" Yuma said tears dripping down her cheeks as Peter looked at her,"P-Peter c-can you kiss me one time...B-Before I go" she asked her voice obviously weak.
Peter could not speak but he accepted her request as he leaned in kissing the corner of her mouth as he pulled away he sees Yuma slumped with a happy smile on her face. Staggering up to his feet he lifted his weapon sobbing.
"I'm sorry Yuma" he whimpered as Yuma slowly began to move but Peter knew...He knew this wasn't the Yuma he was living with. The freak who looked like Yuma looked up at him groaning.
"I'M SORRY!" He cried out loud his angst voice echoing outside.
