Hello, Miyako-san here! I hope anyone who read the last chapter liked it! NOW ON WITH THE STORY!
Amu: Miyako does not own Shugo Chara or any of the characters expect her own.
I carried a gun in my hand, ready to shoot anything that decided to attack. The path was clear so far. We were planning to try and find a real place to stay.
After constant walking we finally came to a place that didn't look too bad. We went inside to look around. It looked better on the inside than the outside. It seemed okay, didn't seem like anything came in here. Though what disturbed me the most was that there was only one bedroom...
We unpacked a bit, but kept most of our stuff inside ours packs, just in case.
"Do you think we'll be safe here?" I asked Ikuto. He nodded. "It seems safe enough. Plus there's a balcony upstairs outside our room. So if anything attacks, we can probably shoot them down from there." I nodded.
I've noticed Ikuto has become more serious ever since this whole thing happened. He rarely smirked, and he actually smiled. He didn't make any perverted comments and he only seemed concerned of protecting me. But why? I thought he didn't even care about me. I thought he only liked teasing me for his own amusement. But now he seems so different.
"Amu, I'm gonna go try to get us some more food. Stay here, okay? Don't go anywhere and don't talk to anyone. Got it?" Ikuto said, looking me straight in the eyes. I nodded in reply.
Ikuto left and I sat down thinking on what I should do to kill some time. I was very tired from all the walking so I decided to sleep. I went upstairs into the bedroom. I lay down and sleep takes over me.
I heard... Groaning... Growling... I sat up, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. How long have I been asleep? Is Ikuto back? I checked the time. 5:39. Ikuto left at 5... What's taking him so long? Is he okay?
The groaning suddenly got louder. I heard footsteps. They seemed to be coming here. But I didnt hear one pair of footsteps... Sounded like about a dozen...
Oh no... They can't be here... They can't be...
I quickly got my backpack, fiddling around trying to find a gun. Then the door burst open. More than a dozen came in, trying to get me. I started panicking. I haven't found my gun yet.
No... I can't become one of them... I just can't...
So I did what I could. I swung the backpack at their heads, knocking them down. I stomp on every head that I knocked down as head as I could. But I knew I couldn't handle them all off. I knew I was going to die. I got tired of swinging my backpack around so I gave up. I sat down of my bed, waiting for them to come. Waiting for them to bite me, tear my flesh, and turn me into one of them. One finally grabbed me by the shoulders and lowered it's head, opening it's mouth to bite me.
Just when it was about to bite me, it sudden slumped down into my lap. It's hands loosened and fell down to it's side. It slid down from my lap to on the ground. I starred at it for a moment, then looked up seeing the others were dead as well. By the door I saw Ikuto. He had two guns, one in each hand. I started to cry without noticing it. I looked up at Ikuto, guilt forming in my eyes. He looked mad. Very mad.
"YOU IDIOT, WERE YOU TRYING TO GET YOURSELF KILLED!? YOU COULD OF BECOME ONE OF THOSE FLESH EATING MONSTERS IF I DIDN'T COME AT THE RIGHT TIME." He yelled at me. "I-I..." I stuttered. He sighed, his expressions softening, "I'm sorry. Though you are okay, right?" I nodded. "Good. That's what matters right now." Why does he care so much...?
"Ah... Come on. I bet your hungry. I was able to get some food." He said to me, leading me downstairs.
At 10, we decided to sleep. Since Ikuto thought I would like it if we didn't sleep in the same room, he said he would sleep on the couch downstairs.
I lay in bed, starring up at the ceiling. All I can think about is how long I'll live. How it will be when I die. Will I die, becoming one of them? Will someone else kill me? Or when this is all over, will I have a nice death, dying of natural causes? It terrifies me to think of this. It terrifies me to be alone in this room.
I walk downstairs, softly shaking Ikuto. He groans and looks at me, "Amu?"
I started blushing as I asked my question,"I-Ikuto... Can you s-sleep with me tonight?"
He starred at me at first, but then he planted that smirk on his face,"Hm... I guess I could..."
My face became even more red. "S-shut up. Just come on."
We now lay in bed together, my head in his chest, and his arm wrapped protectively around me.
"Ikuto." I said. "Are you not scared at all, knowing we might die?"
"..." He was silent at first. "I'm not scared of dying. But I am scared of losing you. Losing you to those monsters."
"..." Why did he care? "You're afraid of losing me...? Why...?"
He chuckled softly. "You'll find out someday Amu. Someday you will. But for now, just rest."
I obeyed. I closed my eyes and waited for sleep to take me over. And so it did.
I woke up to hear banging and screaming. I shot up, Ikuto waking up as well. I ran to the balcony, looking out to see a girl banging on our door. There was another girl who seemed younger than the one banging on the door. She was crying at the girls side, holding on to her tight. I saw zombies at least 3 meters away from them.
"Ikuto grab the sniper and shoot those zombies." I ordered. "I'll get the girls. Hurry."
He nodded. He grabbed the sniper and positioned himself on the balcony, looking through the scope to aim. He shoot one, then another, and so on.
I ran downstairs and unlocked the door. I pulled the girls in and locked the door again. The girls fell on the ground from when I pulled them in.
"Ah, I'm sorry." I said to them. They looked completely terrified. The older girl had short brown hair that swept past her shoulders. She didn't seem any older than 12. The younger one has black hair that was longer than the other. It went to at least mid-back. She looked no older than 8.
The older one spoke, her voice stuttering,"W-who are y-you?"
"Ah, I'm Amu Hinamori. And you are?"
"I'm... I'm Usagi... Usagi Yoshida... This is Mei... Mei Yoshida...I'm 12 years old... She's 7 years old..."
"Ah."
Ikuto came walking down the stairs. "Did you get the girls?" He asked. He looked over at them. "Ah, what pretty girls." He smiled gently at them. "What are your names?"
"I'm Usagi Yoshida..." Usagi said nervously. She pointed at Mei. "That's my younger sister, Mei."
Mei starred at Ikuto then hugged his leg since she was too short to hug him anywhere else, "Onii-chan!"
Ikuto chuckled.
Usagi began to stutter again, "A-ah! I'm sorry about my sister! Mei! Come here!"
Ikuto chuckled again, "No it's alright. Anyways I'm Ikuto Tsukiyomi. Nice to meet you both. You two must hungry. Come on, I'll give you something to eat."
They both nodded and followed Ikuto to the kitchen.
Though now I'm wondering... How did two kids survive on their own?
DUN DUN DUN! Kay I hope you liked this chapter!
Mei: Onii-chan is nice! I love Onii-chan!
Ikuto: And Amu thought it was impossible for a girl to love me...
Usagi: Please Review! ^w^
