"So they can't see or smell us?" Keiko mumbled softly as she and Dima looked down the second year hall at all the freaks that flood the hall. She began to wonder if maybe they were better off in the office but seeing that food was lacking in there made her shake the idea.
"Yeah I think I should lead Rini first and everyone goes one at a time so it isn't a huge crowd to get through and if one of us messes up well...No no one else will have to suffer." Dima turned to Keiko who hummed with a small nod agreeing. Looking up at everyone who stood on the stairs waiting Rini saw she was being looked at.
"W-What?" She said shyly as Dima sighed hands on his hips. Rini was obviously the weakest link despite Sakura being a little bit injured at least the pinkette could use a weapon.
"You are coming with me first...After that Keiko will send one person at a time...Keep in mind if you get caught...I pray for you" He said making everyone a bit cold but everyone understood the consequence of making noises.
Rini felt the tension build up inside of her but she just swallowed the jitters and made her way down the steps to stand beside Dima. He looked down at her and gave her a small smile.
"Don't worry you'll be fine" He mumbled making her nod slowly as he slowly pushed open the door as the two disappeared down the hall.
The smell of death was strong enough to make her cover her face with her hands as she tried to calm the sick feeling swelling in her lower stomach as she let Dima lead her down the hall avoiding making contact with the undead as they came to the empty stairwell. Rini opened her eyes to see a freak next to the door chewing the paint of the wall.
Flinching slightly she stumbled against Dima who held her still and brought his hand to her mouth as he opens the door silently and walked in bringing Rini with him. Turning to look behind him he signaled Keiko, who was watching closely, to bring the others.
One by one each one walked quietly down the hall to the next stairwell. Coming to Sakura Keiko noticed her breathing heavily and leaned against the wall. Peter noticed the reluctant look on Keiko's face but he leaned down to Sakura level making her glance at him.
"You okay?" He asked as Sakura nodded slightly.
"It's hard to breathe sometimes" She mumbled softly as Peter clicked her tongue before reaching forward to lift the side of her shirt seeing the large bruise.
"Oof that looks bad…" He said softly as Sakura chuckled softly.
"Yeah go figure" she groaned trying to adjust herself so it wasn't so painful.
"Well, thankfully you can walk...But with your pain...It's best otherwise" He mumbled as Keiko signaled Kikyo who made it across successfully. Sakura looked to Keiko who was giving her a reluctant look still.
"You guys need to hurry before some asshole group decides that the buses are a good plan" She teased but Peter shook his head slightly.
"You need to come with us," He said as Sakura sighed softly.
"You can't save everyone, Peter...I know I just met you and from what I was told...You have someone to find...Go please…" She said softly as Peter looked down at Sakura shiny blue eyes.
"I might not be able to save everyone...But I can damn sure try" He said as he lifted Sakura bridal style making the girls face bright pink like her hair.
"Come on we got to go!" Keiko hissed as she held the door open as Peter walked out carrying Sakura who buried her face in his neck closing her eyes to ignore the undead around them.
Dima hummed seeing the scene and looked to Amelia who rose an eyebrow at him before blushing and turning her head away making him chuckle slightly at her obvious flustered state. Once the group was all across Nakayama closed the door and grabbed a bungee cord that hung out the janitor closet and tied the two-door handles together.
"The first floor and beyond are most likely the worse so be on your toes when there...Before we go though we need to know who can drive" Naka said as Sakura perked up but knew due to her injury she was out of the question.
"I can" Dima mumbled softly making Naka nod and Dima can feel the keys in his pants pocket burning. This was it...The final stretch….Looking at the group he stiffened up and gave a nod.
"Let's do this" Naka smirked at Dima determination and nodded sliding the door open revealing the horrible first floor. It just looked like they were just flooding in. Naka turned to Keiko who stood arms crossed as she gave him a serious look making the teen nodded.
"I'll go with you Dima," He said as the white-haired male looked surprised at first but catching a glance at Keiko he figured it was to make sure he didn't just abandon them all. He understood her concern and nodded as the two walked out into the hall closing the door to seal off the group from the first-floor freaks.
Dima was a bit nervous as he stared out into the sea of undead. Naka noticed the tension rising from him and gripped his shoulder while giving him a determined look. Dima knew this was the only chance they had but for some reason leaving the school felt like a horrible idea.
The two slowly walked among the crowd their weapons clenched tightly nearby ready to bash the freaks brains in if they caught wind of them. It was horrible to walk in the hallways. Any sight of living besides Dima and Naka were gone. Replaced by the rotting corpses of their fellow school mates. The smell was almost nauseating that can make anyone with a weak stomach throw up.
Sliding the door open to the schoolyard. Dima and Naka walked out of the school and looked at what exactly the damage is. The gate was filled with undead trying to get in as the school ground was filled with club members turned and blood was just about every inch on the ground.
"How will they know we made it?" Dima asked Naka as quiet as possible as the snuck around the side of the building keeping eye on all the freaks around them.
"She will know that it takes a few minutes to the buses...And then she will escort the others out with hopefully with the help of Peter" They came to the bus lot and noticed a few were already filled with freaks but only one was still empty due to the coach always locking the doors on it.
"And what if we don't make it back" Dima whispered" Naka clenched the keys in his hand tightly and scoffed.
"No way in hell will I die here." Naka bit his nail in the thought of what can happen if he was to die.
"Damn woman stealer…."He grumbled softly making Dima look at him with a confused look.
"What?"
"Nothing let's go," He said making the first move to the buses as Dima looked around still confused about the term 'woman stealer'.
Dima didn't think about it long when Naka began bashing the heads of the freaks that were in the way of the only free bus. He quickly joined beside him taking out each freak with bash and the sound of cracking skulls was pounding in their ears.
Reaching the doors of the bus Naka quickly opened the doors and walked on the bus. Dima kicked back a freak that came up behind them as he tumbled back.
"Come on Dima!" He shouted as Dima stumbled to the handle to close the door and gasped softly looking over the headboard seeing a small group of people, four people the most, running to them.
"People" Dima pointed out making Naka look over and softly curse. Dima glanced at Naka expecting him to help but the look on his face told Dima he wasn't planning to.
"We can't leave them!" Dima shouted as he stood up over Naka who sat in the driver seat now. The two teens glared at one another as two views clashed together.
"We need to get to OUR group!" Nakka snapped," Keiko will be waiting right now! Do you want to leave them stranded in the hallway with all those freaks while we save people with little importance!" Naka shouted making Dima scowl.
"Living is living and we need to save them!" Dima said pulling the handle on the door opening it as he ran out ignoring Naka yells.
"Damn it…" Naka stood from his seat and began to dig through all the stuff that belonged to the previous bus driver.
"Fuck...Fuck...Fuck" He cursed until he saw finally what he knew would be sitting pretty in the hidden glove box. Sitting on top of some crumbled papers was a small Taurus 856CH Revolver.
"Yes," He jumped out of the bus sliding the revolver in his pocket, and bashed the freaks as Dima helped the group into the bus.
"What took you so long" Dima hissed as the small group got into the bus.
"Making sure of some stuff" Naka mumbled as he watched the last one get on the bus and got on as Dima closed the door behind them.
Naka turned over the bus as it cracked up catching the attention of the freaks who were oblivious still to them. Making haste he slammed on the gas and trudged forward running over freaks as he did so. Dima huffed holding onto the seat as the bus bumped due to the bodies going under it. Stopping at the front doors Dima heard one of the people in the back gasp.
"WHY ARE WE STOPPING?!" He shouted standing up. His black spiky hair and the piercing on his faces proved he was a delinquent. Naka scoffed at Dima for his choices and opened the door making the man stand up now about to charge.
"Do you have a fucking death wish!" He screamed as the two girls whimpered holding onto each other.
Before any kind of confrontation can happen Keiko walked onto the bus with a scowl on her face. She was pissed not because of waiting but because of the fact she heard the man getting hostile with her people.
"Excuse the fuck out of me but um who are you?" She snapped as the others pilled in behind her getting on the bus.
"No time for an introduction!" Peter said as the door closed and he slid in the seat next to Sakura as Keiko hummed looking at the stranger still. He gulped sitting back down as Keiko whispered in Naka ear and sat down.
"Ight HOLD ON TIGHT!" He shouted as he slammed on the gas once more and drove all the freaks in front of him over as he drove straight through the front gate and down the road to whatever was left of the city.
