Location: Namimori Middle School
Front Gate
Date: October 3rd
Time: Morning of 11:32
"Hurry the fuck up!" a silver-haired boy snapped as they kept running. They have noticed the zombies has somehow multiplied in number all of a sudden. Tsuna took quick glanced over his shoulder, his sights met hungry eyes of their torn and ragged flesh off their faces. The petite boy pales at this then shook his head in terror. From his knowledge is that zombies are slow predators in fictions and games however, that piece of information is dead wrong.
GGGGAAAAAGGGHHHHHHHH!
Tsuna shivered in anxiety and frightened. His throat choked up as eyes started in teary. His hand squeezes Takeshi's warm hand in attempted to comfort himself. Finally, his caramel-eyes spotted a familiar firmly closed gate that he knew right away. Through the gate is Namimori Middle School is the school where Tsuna goes, or in this case, used to go.
"There!" Hayato pointed at the gate which brings the rest of the boys in relief. When they reached for it, Hayato pushed the door but somehow it was futile which makes the short-tempered silver-haired boy frustrated. "FUCK!"
Takeshi frowned deeply with concerned as he dropped Tsuna's hand and went over to push the door with Hayato. Hibari narrowed his eyes sharply at the distance as he threw the bag at the petite boy. Tsuna yelped in surprised but somehow managed to catch the bag while eyes wide at Hibari who took out his tonfas.
When one zombie, way faster than the rest, ahead of them is coming very close to them. Its arm reaching out and Hibari immediately blocked it with his tonfa and swing his other tonfa at the zombie's head. The head snapped right off its body as it flew away and Hibari kicked the body harshly. The boy flew backward and collide against zombies, as they fell back.
"Fucking goddammit! Open already you piece of shit!" Hayato cursed with frustration and fear. While Takeshi gritted his teeth as he kept pushing the gate.
Tsuna's heart was beating so fast that he mentally prays. 'Please… please open already!' his eyes widen in panicked as his eyes dart at the herd of zombies that is dangerously coming closer and the gate that is still stubbornly shut.
Hibari kicked one of the zombies and swing his tonfas around at the undead heads and limps as it was torn off. It was truly terrifying for Tsuna to watch this. Dark red blood splattered on Hibari's clothes and face. He was covered in blood, yet he fights so hauntingly beautiful with such graceful.
"This piece of…" Hayato swore as he glared deathly at the door. Takeshi decided to take steps back then run as hard as he could and hit against the door with his body.
SQUEEAAALLLL!
The gate was pushed enough that Hayato immediately glides open enough to go through. "Hurry inside, Hibari!" Takeshi warned Hibari as he grabbed Tsuna's hand and pulled him through the gate. Hibari jumped kicked at the zombies then leaped over to the gate and barely slide through the gate. Hayato shut it firmly, grabbed the chains and locked it with a padlock.
SLAMMED! GROWL! GGRRAAUUUGGHHH!
Just barely that Hayato back off before one of the undead arms reached through the gate, attempted to catch a silver-haired boy. Hayato panted heavily as he stared at the zombies with caution. Takeshi lowered his baseball bat as his chest moved up and down while his other hand loosens Tsuna's hand. Tsuna was beyond relief to his core to be safe. And Hibari narrowed his eyes at the undead with a scowling face while shaking the blood from his tonfas.
"Fuck… that was close!" Hayato glared at the zombies.
CLANG! CLANG! GGGRRAAAUUUGGGHHH!
The zombies are banging on the metal bars of the gate. Tsuna couldn't imagine if the gate weren't existing, he felt chill at the thought of these zombies get their hands on him and others. He gulped loudly then he felt a warm yet gentle squeeze hand. His caramel-eyes glanced up at the worried brown eyes. Takeshi smiles softly at Tsuna. "Are you alright?" he gently released his hand from Tsuna's who blushing hard.
"A-ah… h-hai… umm… how about you? A-are you alright?" Tsuna just remembered that Takeshi threw himself against the gate rather hard.
Takeshi smiles. "I'm fine." Then he turned to Hayato and Hibari. "You both alright?"
"Tch." Hayato crossed his arms with narrowed eyes while Hibari hid his tonfas and walked toward the school building. "As long we have the supplies and away from these shitheads…" he grumbled while overlooking at the bag that Tsuna is holding in one hand.
Tsuna blinked and glanced down. "T-this one?" he held up with confused.
"Yep. At least we managed to get everything that is needed from the list." Takeshi said with a cheerful laugh.
"Not everything, you baseball idiot! We didn't get winter clothes!" Hayato hissed with annoyed then glared at Tsuna. "All because we have to save this brat."
Tsuna flinched as Takeshi chuckled awkwardly. "Maa, maa… there's always next time." He attempted to calm the silver-haired boy down.
Hayato clicked his tongue. "Whatever." He turned around, walked toward the school building with irritated and Takeshi sighed softly. He turned to Tsuna with a warm, friendly smile.
"Don't worry about him. He's always angry." Takeshi chirped and Tsuna sweatdropped.
"A-ah…"
Takeshi gently takes the bag from petite boy and swing is over his shoulder. He tilted his head at the building. "Come on. Best to get away from them." He said as he is eyeing at the zombies of the other side of the gate, banging.
Tsuna nodded his head quietly and followed the baseball star before he took a last glanced at the undead. 'We're safe…' Tsuna mused with relief.

Location: Namimori Middle School
Third Floor
Time: Morning of 11:54
Tsuna bit his bottom lip with worried while followed Takeshi on the third floor. He has seen the first floor and the second floor, to his shocked, he has not expected such an awful state. He knew that Hibari is a charge of Namimori Middle School and always used rules to keep everything clean and proper. Just to see such chaos in this school that Hibari loves is… horrifying and depressing.
The petite boy glanced his surrounding on the third floor which is rather semi-clean but there's still some clutter here and there. Soon, Takeshi and Hayato walked inside of the room that Tsuna knew very well what this room is. 'This room… is for Disciplinary Committee… but…' his eyes spotted a sign name above, it a cut-out cupboard with duct tape covered that labeled in a different name.
[Apocalypse Survivors]
Tsuna walked inside the room, he was surprised to see a familiar face. A familiar face with sparkle eyes of recognize. "Wait… isn't that… Tsuna-kun?" Kyoko smiles wide as she was sitting on a couch with a girl next to her. Kyoko stood up, walked to Tsuna who blushed softly. "I'm so glad to see another familiar face!" she clapped her hands happily.
"S-s-sasagawa-chan." Tsuna stuttered with surprised to see his former crush. He used to have a huge crush on her since elementary school however, it fades away during his first year in middle school as he learned that she reminded him of his mother's personality. His heart pang at the thought of his sweet mother. 'Mama…' he mentally shook that away and pushed it back in his mind as he'll think about it later.
Kyoko pouted. "I thought I told you to call me Kyoko-chan."
Tsuna smiles weakly. "A-ah… so-sorry, Kyoko-chan…"
The former popular girl glanced around and greeted Takeshi who set the bag on the coffee table. "Hahi? It doesn't look like you got everything…" Haru said after she checked the supplies through the bag.
Hayato clicked his tongue as he leaned on the wall with his arms crossed. "That's because we're busy trying to save this brat's ass." He jerked his head at Tsuna who fidgeted his feet nervously and guilty.
"I see…" Kyoko smiles at Tsuna. "I'm glad they saved you, although… have you been all alone?" she asked with concerned for the shy boy who is roughly close to her height.
Before Tsuna could respond, two people walked in the room. Hana and Ryohei were surprised to see Tsuna. "Well, if it isn't a little monkey." Hana speaks up calmly as she tilted her head at Tsuna. The petite boy couldn't help but noticed that there's something warm inside Hana's tone.
"Ah… isn't he extreme dame student?" Ryohei asked his little sister with curious who pouted at him with disapproved.
"Onii-san, his name is Sawada, Tsunayoshi. Not dame." Kyoko gently scolded her older brother who sheepishly rubbed back of his head.
Kyoko shook her head and grabbed Tsuna's hand and dragged him to the couch. "Sit, sit." Kyoko sat down next to Haru and Tsuna sit next to Kyoko at the end. "This is Miura, Haru. She used to go to an all-girls school from a few blocks away here. Haru-chan, this is my former classmate, Sawada, Tsunayoshi. You can call him Tsuna-kun." Kyoko introduced her friends to each other happily.
"Nice to meet you, Tsuna-kun." Haru bowed her head politely. "You can call me Haru-chan." Haru smiles at the petite boy.
Tsuna bowed back. "N-nice to meet you too, H-haru-chan." Then just as he finished his words, another familiar person walked in.
"Ah." Tetsuya halts his steps when he saw a new yet familiar face. "Sawada-san." He greeted the shy boy, he recognized Tsuna easily because of his reputation.
Tsuna was surprised to see Hibari's right-hand man. "H-hello Kusakabe-san."
Tetsuya smiles at Tsuna as he walked to the leather chair and sat down. "It's nice to see you again." He meant it and Tsuna smiles shyly. Then his eyes landed on the bag. "Did we get everything we need?" he asked Hayato and Takeshi.
Takeshi rubbed the back of his neck with a small smile while Hayato scowled. "Not everyth-" he was interrupted when two people walked in once again.
"You!" Mochida was shocked to see Tsuna who gulped nervously. Mochida is one of Tsuna's bullies and he can easily see that this bully isn't very happy. "How the hell did you survive?!" Mochida assumed that dame-Tsuna was dead a long time ago when the outbreak started.
Others frowned at Mochida. "Oi, oi…" Hayato furrowed his eyebrows while Takeshi carefully placed his baseball bat over his shoulder.
While the girls are eyeing at Mochida with disapproved while Ryohei and Tetsuya frowned deeply. "U-uhh…" Shoichi speaks up as he adjusted his glasses. "It's nice to see another survivor." He smiles weakly at Tsuna.
"Wait… what if he's infected?" Mochida held up his kendo stick with narrowed eyes at Tsuna with suspicion. "He got blood on him." He said firmly as he eyeing at the blood splattered on Tsuna's pants. He made a move toward Tsuna but Tsuna protected.
"A-ah. Iie, I'm not infected." Tsuna denied with his hands wave around.
Mochida frowned deeply with disbelieving eyes. "Who the hell brought him here?!" he snapped with annoyed.
"Calm down, Mochida-san." Takeshi steps up with a calm smile.
"Tsuna-kun isn't infected." Kyoko added.
"I don't see little monkey going crazy." Hana piped in.
Mochida glared at the others. "He's not going crazy on us right now, but that doesn't mean he won't! What if he actually turned into one of those fuckers and kill us all?! Don't you all remember how we ended up here?!"
"B-but… that doesn't mean we ca-can't help people." Shoichi said with a concerned frown and the girls agreed with him.
Mochida gritted his teeth with annoyed. "Fine." He spat then turned to Tsuna with a glared. "When do you plan to leave, Dame-Tsuna." Tsuna flinched.
"Oi!"
"Why should he extreme leave?!"
"Are you serious asshole?!"
Mochida snapped once again. "We're running out of food. And every time we go out in the town, we risk our lives to find more. We're not exactly in a place to help others."
"Are you fucking insane? Don't you know what it's like out there?" Hayato hissed with disbelieved and irritated.
Before there's more argue, Tetsuya cleared his throat to gather all their attentions on him. "Why don't we let Sawada-san explain to himself?" he turned to a petite boy with a polite smile. "Is there you want to say to us?"
Tsuna bit his lip as he nods his head, hesitant. He scoots up to the edge of the cushion, took off his backpack and unzipped it. He gently took out some supplies such as illumination, rations, and water bottles on the coffee table. "U-umm… I know enough to survive myself… and the symptoms arise within an hour after a bite or a scratch from zombies." Tsuna explained softly.
"I gotta admit, a little monkey is well-prepared with this." Hana said with approval.
Hayato carefully examined the supplies. "Not bad. Especially since you've been alone, right?" Tsuna nodded his head and the silver-haired boy turned to Mochida with a smug smirked. "It seems he knows how to handle himself just fine."
"Maa… guess he isn't a Dame, after all." Takeshi narrowed his eyes at Mochida with a false smile.
Mochida scoffed. "I don't believe it. But since you all think that Dame-Tsuna can handle himself, so let's just kick him out."
Tsuna flinched as his heart sank with upset and pain. He knew that Mochida doesn't like him, but to think that he hates him enough to kick him out where the zombies are. It's rather…cruel.
Then a door slide opened, Hibari walked in with irritated glared at the survivors in the room. Then his gray eyes landed on Tsuna. "Herbivorous needs to shut up. Baby herbivore stay. Understood." Hibari dared anyone to go against him. Silence in the room as Hibari walked to the desk and gracefully sit on top of it. Mochida scoffed and stormed out of the room.
"Fucking asshole." Hayato huffed as he leaned back against the wall once again while Tsuna carefully placed his supplies back inside his backpack.
Kyoko turned to Tsuna with concerned. "Tsuna-kun, how long have you been alone?"
"Ah… for three weeks." Tsuna answered softly after he finished repacking his things. Kyoko and Haru gasped in surprise.
Takeshi furrowed his eyebrows. "Since the outbreak start?" he asked, Tsuna nodded his head, "Then… where have you been staying?"
"My home…"
Hana placed her hands on her hips. "Then why left? You were safe? Did you run out of food or something?"
Tsuna shook his head. "I was waiting for my okaa-san… but she never came back. I thought… maybe she is in somewhere safe… but… I was too worried, and I had to leave in order to find her." Tsuna explained.
Silence in the room as they understand. Since they too would leave their home in order to find their family. Especially, it has been for three weeks.
"…haven't you thought that maybe your mother isn't alive?" Hayato speaks up.
"Gokudera!" Ryohei snapped at Hayato who glared at the white-haired boy.
"It's a possibility! And we're not the only ones in this room that we're worried about our family and friends." Hayato said, "But we have to prepare ourselves that it's possible… they didn't make it."
Kyoko and Haru hugged each other with concerned and unhappy while others looked away, dejected. Tsuna felt his heart sank at the thought of his mother, his sweet mother dies in those undead creatures' hands and the possibility of becoming one of them. His eyes started to teary. 'I…I don't want mama to die… mama… no, mama should be safe. She's safe… right?' Tsuna mused with anxiety, fear, and worried.
Tetsuya cleared his throats. "First thing we need to focus… do we have any available room for Sawada-san?" he asked as he glanced at the papers on his clipboard.
"I don't think we have any empty classroom on this floor." Hana frowned, "Classroom 3-A is girls, Classroom 3-C and 3-D are boys. 3-B is supplied room. And 3-E is a wreck." She counted off from her fingers.
Tetsuya glanced over the boys. "Is there any room for him?"
Hayato shook his head. "3-C and 3-D are full, is it not?"
"I see…" Tetsuya hummed, he glanced over at Hibari. "What do you suggest?" he asked with curiosity.
Hibari frowned as he shifted his eyes to Tsuna who blinked with nervous. "Hn. Baby herbivore stay."
Tetsuya raised his eyebrow but nodded his head. "Alright." He turned to confused Tsuna. "You'll be staying here in this room with Kyo-san."
Tsuna blinked owlishly. 'Kyo-san? Something tells me… that he doesn't mean Kyoko-chan…' slowly, feeling dreadful as he glanced at Hibari who stared out through the window calmly. '…that means… I'll be here… with Hibari-san?!' he paled.
"Next is the patrols." Tsuna snapped out of it and tilted his head at Tetsuya. "This place may be safe but there are still zombies out there. We've managed taken care of the zombies away from this building, but they'll come back. So, for this week schedule of the patrols will change now that we have another helping hand." He glanced at the papers as he took out a pen. "Shoichi-san and Sasagawa-san will take care of the courtyard, Mochida-san and Kurokawa-san will take the second floor, Kyoko-san and Haru-san will take the third floor, Gokudera-san and Yamamoto-san will take the first floor. Kyo-san and Sawada-san will take the rooftop. I will overlook the supplies in the supply room. Good enough?" he made sure the teenagers accept and approval of the schedule. "Good, for now. You all may rest for an hour or so, then start your patrols. I will take care of this." Tetsuya dismissed as he stood up, grabbed the bag from the coffee table.
"If you any concerns or questions, I'll be in the supply room." Tetsuya said, then left the room.
Kyoko turned to Tsuna with a smile. "It's great to see you again, Tsuna-kun. We'll catch up soon, right now, Haru-chan and Hana-chan and I will take a rest." Tsuna nodded his head and watched them left the room.
Hayato huffed softly, he shoves himself away from the wall and walked out of the room with his hands shoved in his pockets. Takeshi smiles at the petite boy. "See you later." He left the room, followed Hayato and Ryohei grinned at Tsuna.
"It's extremely nice to meet you, Sawada-san." Ryohei nodded his head and left the room as well. Shoichi bowed politely at Tsuna and left quietly.
Then, awkward silence in the room with both Hibari and Tsuna. The petite boy gulped nervously as he hugged his backpack in his arms. Hibari continued stared at the scenery through the window. '…it's nice to be here… with others… and not alone…' Tsuna mused, even though he is nervous to be around Hibari who is well-known as Demon of Namimori. But still… he is safe.
For now.
