Day Zero

Weeks earlier

It started as an ordinary workday, the students of Nakasato highschool has spent the morning in their classrooms, the weather was sunny and bright and a lovely day in April.

Senior Nori Nagara looking out the window letting his mind trail to what needed to be done once he got home, mentally making a list. He noticed how a former upperclassman snuck through a hole in the fence. The school should have fixed it long ago, but never did. It was so like Kawayama, never one to care for protocol even after her graduation last year and now working with some sort of Deliverance Company. She still wore that beanie of hers and looked more like she was going on a run rather than out working. It brought a smile to his face, feeling like she would never change no matter what.

He pulled at his unruly hair, it always found a way to defy him no matter how much hair gel he tried to slick it back with. Dark eyes scanned the entrance area again and there was someone at the gate. Whoever it was, they were not cleaver enough to just move an extra 20 meter and get in through the same hole as Kawayama. The constant sound of the rusty old gate finally did catch the attention of some of the faculty members.

What happened next was something out of a nightmare, the unidentified stranger broke through the gate and attacked the closest of the teachers. Did that odd man just tear out that man's throat? At that Nori leaped out of his seat.

"Nagara-kun is there a reason for interrupting my class?" His teacher bit back at him, not seeing or perhaps caring about the horror and shock visible in the tall boys face.

"Sensei there is a maniac in the yard, I think he just killed someone."

Sneaking through that old gap was a bit strange, she had a sense of Déjà vu. The school really needed to fix that thing, but then again it made getting in that much easier. There at the entrance to the school stood four of her former teachers. None of them seemed pleased with her entrance.

"Kawayama-san, why are you unable to just wait for us to open the gate for you?" The sarcasm in his voice was evident.

"I have twenty other packages to deliver before lunch and seeing that it is 10 am. Yeah I kind of don't want to stand around and wait for you to open that rusty old gate. Now which one of you will be signing this thing?" Kawayama said slightly irritated as she held out the clipboard and took out the package from her messenger bag. For Kawayama it felt like the teacher signing the papers where doing it slowly just to mess with her and get back at her for some of her unruly behaviour back when she was a student. Just when she was about to turn and head back to her van parked just outside the gates she heard something hitting the old gates.

Thump… thump…. thump…

She looked back to see the idiot that tried to go through the locked gate. The chain that was snuggly secured around the gate however was also old and in need of replacement. Whoever the idiot was, there was something odd about him. He didn't say a word or even call out to the teachers perhaps little over 200 meters away.

It finally got to the teachers nerves and they demanded that the intruder would state their purpose. Kawayama has stood still not sure what was really wrong with the stranger outside the gate. However as the teachers got closer to the gate, that poor chain snapped and the odd man flew to the closest teacher and sunk his teeth into his jugular.

At this Kawayama's green eyes went wide as she watched the stranger tear a chunk of flesh from her former teacher's neck.

Sakaguchi-sensei of class 1-B was far from happy with her student. He had spent most of the lesson reading medical books rather than focusing on the Japanese poem that the class was currently reading. But then again the book was more tasteful than some of the other 'literature' she had confiscated from students during her years as teacher. Ayumu Otomo really needed to focus more subjects than medicine, especially if he wanted to enter into university and work with said subject.

None of the students in class 1-B had anticipated the chaos that would soon shake their entire understanding of life itself. They heard screaming and saw how an unknown man attacked one of the school's faculty members. What was worse was that the stranger then turned from the male teacher he just attacked to a female teacher, dragged her to the ground with him, the sound that Sakaguchi's college gave was raw and spoke of pure fear. She however didn't anticipate the first victim to rise again, especially now that a good chunk of his neck was missing and blood was gushing from said wound.

She didn't expect for one of her old students the infamous Ami Kawayama to tear open the door.

"Sakaguchi we need to close the main entrance NOW!" Her voice was frantic, Sakaguchi would normally scold the young woman for her lack of respect but after what that stranger did to her two colleges she couldn't agree more. When Sakaguchi finally retrieved the key she saw that may students have gathered at the entrance and there she saw the horror up close the two remaining teachers where trying with all their might to keep the doors closed. Some other brave students like Otomo tried to use his entire body to keep the unwanted people at bay. Otomo's lean build however didn't help much in stopping those outside form trying to break in. The stranger was no longer alone and was back upped by her colleges that he attacked. While her two other colleges Sada and Terata used every ounce of their strength to keep the doors closed long enough for her to close it. She locked as fast as she could and backed away believing that it was all over. All students now had a chance to grasp what they were looking at, their skins a pale gray, eyes white and traces of blood where not only coming from their mouth but smeared on their clothes and gaping wounds. They kept pounding at the glass door and it appeared that the glass was moving inwards to everyone's horror.

Only a few of the students had turned their attention to the two male teachers.

"Sada-sensei your hand!" at that some more looked at said teachers hand and noticed to their horror that his ring and little finder was missing. He was in such a state of shock that he vomited, but instead of food it was… blood?

"Sada-sensei, what's wrong." One of Sada's own students sat down next to him, she was worried about him but instead of answering him he grabbed her in a way no teacher should and as if someone just pushed replay, the students saw how the now white eyed and grey-skinned Sada sunk his teeth into the young students neck and blood gushed from her wound.

For a second everything went quiet then the glass shattered and panic overtook the poor souls that watched the event unfold.

Sakaguchi was sure she had seen the gate to hell.
