It's been a few days since the group made their home at Keiko's mansion. Kikyo still hasn't gotten out of her depression and seems to be getting a lot worse. Everyone else was still working around the home and making sure everyone made it through till the end. The morning still seemed the same; breakfast was brought to bed and the men who worked out in the morning were doing their workout. But the one thing that was out of normal was the shrill scream coming from the outside.
"What is it?" Reiji shouted as him and Keiko busted through the front door and saw one of the younger maid cowering on the ground crying. The sight before her made her throat close up scattered around the yard were dead bodies of the men that worked for Keiko.
"What the-" She counted five and they all had normal causes of death….Slit throats. Keiko snarled as she turned to Reiji with a fire burning in her blue eyes. "Someone who lives here killed these men!" Reiji nodded and stormed inside to find the culprit.
Keiko felt a drop of rain hit her nose making her look up at the sky and scowl. This is personal, She heard the door open, and out came Rini who looked a bit spooked. "What is it, Rini?" She asked coldly.
"I-I noticed that there isn't any help coming...I only noticed undead and r-rioters" She mumbled softly as Keiko scoffed," What does that have to do with the fact men are dead right now and possibly overnight!" She shouted as Rini flinched as she looked down at her feet.
"I-I think it's possible a rioter broke in" She mumbled softly making Keiko feel a little bad. She glanced up at all the dead bodies with a small sigh. Rini saw the worried look on her face and decided it was probably best not to anger her. Turning on her heels she walked back inside leaving Keiko alone.
Her eyes seemed to graze one body in particular. The motion in their fingers made her tense up, it was obvious they were all dead so was it the nerves making them move. She flinched hearing the groans escape the mouths of a few.
"REIJI!" Keiko screamed as she backed away as the bodies began to sit up. She turned to the door seeing him come out with a hand-gun. "What's wrong?" He asked following Keiko's finger to the undead.
"Shit" he raised his gun shooting each one back down as Keiko stood behind him her eyes wide and unable to speak as she began to piece together how exactly the rate of infection and undead was so high so quickly.
"Keiko you okay?" She heard Naka as he walked out with a worried look and she stared at him in fear," You don't just turn from a bite...You become one of them if you die in general!" She said running her hands through her hair.
"FUCK!"
A few hours passed and after the burial of the men who lost their lives, everyone seemed a bit on edge after Keiko informed them that the men were killed by slit throats yet they still rose from the dead as if they were a bit.
"We need to find out who killed them in case they strike again" Naka shouted as Reiji glared at him, "I want to find out too but now is not the time! We don't even know who did it...I say we do a stakeout" He mumbled making Naka scoff.
"A stakeout? What are we cops?!" He didn't notice the agitated look forming on Keiko's face as she let out a rough sigh. "Will you guys quit it!" She shouted making the two look at her Keiko nibbled her cheek as she tapped her chin.
"We need to find out who doesn't belong here and we need to do it before they strike" She stood up walking to the door, "Find them and make sure you aim for the head" Closing the door behind her Naka and Reiji looked at one another with a frown on each of their faces.
The tension was at an all time high as Kikyo watched as everyone looking at everyone closely. The morning events shook just about everyone to their core as not only were there dead people outside but those said dead people rose as freaks without a bite. Kikyo sighed softly as she rubbed her face her head hurting from everything happening.
"Hey, Kikyo!" Peter waved as he sat next to the blonde archer with a smile. She gave him a sideways glance and huffed resting her chin on her hand and she watched the tv that was 85 in long and currently playing a horror movie.
"So um...How have you been?... I haven't really seen you come out of your room" He said as he watched a serial killer wearing a hockey mask chase some naked girl on a doc. "Ok, I guess...Just trying to get used to my new life" She mumbled softly as she kept her eyes glued to the gruesome kill.
"Oh...Well I mean I'm kinda still upset about everything...I don't even know if my parents are alive" He said as Kikyo hummed as she remembered his parents lived in Australia. The two friends sat in silence as they continued to watch the movie.
"EVERYONE LINE UP IN THE DINING HALL!" Naka's booming voice is heard in the house Peter looked a bit confused as he stood up holding his hand out to Kikyo," Shall We?" He smiled down at her making her sigh softly and take his hand as they walked to the dining room.
Entering the duo noticed that everyone was there. Peters' eyes landed on Sakura and his face flushed remembering last night but she smiled and waved at him making him falter a bit. Kikyo saw the love-struck gaze on his face and released his hand which caught his attention.
"No so worried about your family now hu?" She snipped at him as she walked away going to sit by Rini who offered an oreo pack. Keiko stood in the middle with a scowl on her face as the Elders seemed to be whispering among one another glaring at her.
"As you all know we lost five men today...And I also know you are all aware of what could happen if you die a normal death" She said looking at the worried faces of everyone. She took a few steps forward.
"You all might not know that among you all might just be a killer and not the yakuza kind," She said as thunderstruck outside. She looked among the faces of all the people she grew up around sad that it came to this.
"I don't know who you are or why you did it but I will find out….And when I do" She gave a dark grin scaring those who don't know her. "I'll make you regret it" An elder scoffed making her look at him with dark eyes.
"How do we know that it isn't those kids you brought with you?" He asked his voice slurred due to the lack of teeth and potentially being drunk. "You really honestly think they could have killed five experienced men?" She asked making him rethink his words, but not wanting to sound stupid he kept up.
"Well duh, obviously you all made it out of an infested school. They can be capable of killing a few men" He mumbled softly making a few think what he is saying seemed possible. Keiko let out a laugh as she wiped an imaginary tear.
"Your old age certainly makes me wonder if you are fit to be an elder" She snapped making him flinch, "Let me make one thing clear...Those who arrived here with me are UNABLE to kill the men who died last night!" She stated harshly as she glared at the elders.
Before she could say more the doors busted open and Reiji is panting as he looks at everyone fearful. "T-The crops are on fire...Rioters are trying to break in" He shouted as everyone seemed to freeze.
"Those who can defend this home grab a weapon! Everyone else goes to the rooms and hide!" She yelled as everyone scattered. Sakura ducked away from a charging maid who was rushing to her room when she heard her name being called out.
"Can you use this!" Keiko said handing her a sword which Sakura looked a bit worried but nodded. "Y-Yeah!" She took the sword out and awed at the blade's details.
"Let's go" Everyone rushed outside seeing in fact most of the crops were on fire despite the rain and a few rioters were climbing over the gate.
Keiko glared taking the first shot hitting a man with tattoos covering his face square in the forehead. The act seemed to anger the others as they began throwing more molatavs and shaking the gate in hopes of breaking it down. It got worse as more crawled over the gate shooting back taking out a few of their men.
Sakura gasped seeing a man aim his gun at peter but with a quick movement, she let out an angered scream and sliced the arm that had the gun. The man let out a painful scream as he collapsed on the ground holding his stub.
"AHH YOU FUCKING BITCH" He shouted at Sakura who stood stunned as her eyes didn't leave her blade that now dripped blood. The sound of screaming and more gunshots rang around her as Peter grabbed her face saying something but she couldn't seem to comprehend it
"Sakura!" He drew her from her thoughts and made her look up at him with a frown. "Come on" He quickly pushed her along to the house trying to stay out of any of the rioters' sights.
Keiko snarled as she shot another in the head as most of the cowards realized they will die if they enter the property so they ran off. Keiko panted softly as she watched Reiji take out the last one leaving them surrounded with dead rioters and more men.
"Reiji we need to clear the area...Throw the rioters over and make sure to put a bullet in any of our people's heads." She said as she ran and hand over her throbbing forehead.
"Keiko is you-AHH" Reiji let out a cry of pain-causing everyone to look his way, Keiko shook seeing what exactly was hurting him...A freshly turned freak was having its teeth dug into his leg. Mitsu quickly jabbed a knife through its head causing it to release Reiji who fell to the ground holding his leg.
"Damn it" He hissed seeing the wound already showing signs of infection, Keiko quickly got by him looking at the wound with tears in her eyes. Mitsu and Naka were quick to take out the ones who didn't have wounds to the heads to make sure they didn't rise back up.
"He's bitten!" An elder yelled looking down at Reiji with a fearful gaze causing Keiko to flash him a glare and point her gun at him. "Shut up otherwise I'll put a bullet right between your eyes" She snarled making him jump back shaking in fear.
Sadly this was the start of the little life they did make in this shit was beginning to fall apart.
