Later night was about to approach. They were under the bridge
Saeko – we got out the bus because the road was blocked. But we haven't crossed the river
Saya – the water has risen so going up stream wont help, I guess.
Tetsuya – night's approaching too. It could be dangerous to wonder around with them crawling all over the place. We should rest for the night
Shizuka – then why cant we call it quits for now?
Hirano – call it a day?
Shizuka – why yes, my friend's place is nearby. Its just a short walk from here
Saya – your boyfriend's place?
Shizuka – oh no, no, no! Its not like that! Its just my friend's apartment! She's always busy working and travelling with her job. She gave me a key so I can look after the place when she's away
Tetsuya – does it have a strong fence to keep the walkers out?
Hirano – is it a high rise? Does it have a good view of the surroundings?
Shizuka – why yes! It's a maisonette that's next to the river. There's a convenience store nearby too. Oh, and a car! You know that one that looks like a tank? The thing that drinks gas?
Saya – I don't care about a car as much as a shower. I think I didn't felt any dirtier in my life
Hirao was looking at her with hearts for eyes
Hirano – I couldn't agree with you more
Saya kicked him away
Saya – what do you mean by that!?
Takashi – I'll go check on it with her, come on lets go
Shizuka – oh, ok!
Takashi and Shizuka left
0000000000
Later it was night time and they were in Shizuka's friend's house. They turned the lights on the parking lot and saw the vehicle Shizuka said
Hirano – Humvee! It's the military version too!
Shizuka – told you it looks like a tank, right?
Tetsuya – its bullet proof too. The corpses would have a hard time clawing their way in!
Saya – exactly what kind of friend is she?
Rei – I bet they cant jump over the fence. So we should be able to have a goodnight sleep.
Takashi – lets hurry up and-
Takashi then saw zombies inside
Tetsuya – they're here too?
Tetsuya got her machetes out. Saya approached Takashi with a crowbar
Saya – Komuro, will this do?
Takashi – yeah thanks, stay back
Saeko – don't take chances and make sure to cover for each other
Takashi – lets go!
Takashi kicked the fence open. They ran inside and started attacking the zombies.
Looking back, it seems like they all changed. They weren't just running away anymore. They were attacking first to survive. They didn't question it, it just became instinct and it became the only thing they knew. It didn't take that long.
0000000000
Inside the apartment. The girls were all taking a bath while Takashi, Tetsuya, and Hirano were trying to open a locker in the bedroom. Hirano was wearing ths school uniform. Takashi was wearing his red t-shirt and his uniform shirt on was on the bed. Tetsuya was shirtless. They heard the girls' voices in the bathroom
Takashi – sounds like they're having fun
Tetsuya – they should really keep it down in there
Hirano – you guys wanna take a peak? You know we're suppose to, right?
Takashi – I don't wanna die just yet
Tetsuya – me too, I'd rather see what's in here than see them for now
Takashi – I'm really going to be pissed if there's nothing in here
Hirano – there has to be, we found the ammunition so there's something in here
Takashi – oh well, doesn't matter. Lets do it!
The three of them held into crowbar
Tetsuya – alright. One, two, three!
They all pushed the crowbar and opened the locker, causing them to fall to the ground. The three of them grunted in pain. Tetsuya stood up and Takashi sat up. He saw what's inside
Takashi – hello..
Hirano looked in the locker and grinned in ecstasy
Hirano – hahahahaha! I just knew it!
Hirano's grin was like of a psycho. The locker was filled with guns
Takashi – so she lives here with her friend huh?
Tetsuya – who is this friend of hers? Sara fucking Palin?
Hirano took out a gun and cranked it
Hirano – Springfield M1A1 super match. Its semi-automatic but M14 series full-automatic is nothing but a waste of bullets anyway.
Takashi – uh.. chill out dude
Hirano – I can put twenty bullets in the magazine, that's fucking illegal in Japan. Illegal.. hahahah!
Hirano turned to the locker again. Takashi was waving at him from behind
Takashi – hello? Hirano?
Hirano – Knight's SR-25 Enhanced match rifle!
Hirano – wait, you cant get these in Japan. So it must be modified AR-10! The other one in the locker is a crossbow! It's a descendant of the one that Robin Hood used! A Barnett Wildcat C5! Its made in Britain, you can even kill a beat with this thing!
Takashi – h-he lost it..
Tetsuya – yeah
Takashi took out another gun in the locker. Hirano saw this and had stars in his eyes
Hirano – that's an Ithaca M-37 riot shotgun! Its an awesome gun made by the Americans! It played a big role in the Vietnam war!
Takashi – really?
Takashi cranked the gun and pointed it at Hirano who gasped at this
Hirano – are you kidding!? Even if its not loaded, don't point it at someone! If you do.. shoot to kill!
Takashi – roger that
Tetsuya – you should point that only at them
Takashi – yeah, I hope that's all ill have to point it at.
Tetsuya – that's not possible, just like Hirano said nothing we know is normal anymore
Hirano – that's right, it'll only get worse. In a war like this, there's no surrendering or negotiations or shit like that
Tetsuya – and worse case scenario, if I happen to get bitten by one of those bastards, don't you guys think twice of blasting my fucking head off
Takashi – yeah, same here
Hirano – right, it's a deal!
Hirano loaded the bullet filled magazine in the gun he's holding.
0000000000
Later they took out the bullets and the guns from the locker. Tetsuya and Hirano were putting the bullet in the magazine
Hirano – Komuro, give me a hand will ya? It's a pain in the ass to put the bullets in these things
Takashi – you practiced with air guns?
Hirano – nope, with the real guns
Takashi gasped
Takashi – what are you saying? You've done this before?
Tetsuya – oh wow
Hirano – when I went to America I got trained for a while month by a professional instructor from Blackwater. He's an ex captain of Delta Force
Hirano – holy shit, so you're an expert only on these kind of things huh? I'm so glad that we're on the same said
Hirano – me too
Tetsuya – if that's your secret life, what's this chick's deal? These guns are definitely illegal.
Hirano – its not illegal to buy them in parts. But it is illegal to put them all together like this. She also mentioned something about her friend being in the special forces, SAT
Takashi – so everything's cool if you're a cop?
Tetsuya – well, we're lucky that this isn't just your average citizen. These guns will certainly come in handy
Hirano – police officers that aren't married usually have to live in dormitories. But if she can afford to rent a place like this.. either her parents are loaded or the man she's dating is loaded or maybe she's involved in some serious shit
0000000000
Later Takashi was using a binoculars to look around in the terrace. Tetsuya and Hirano heard the girls in the bathroom once again
Hirano – they're too noisy
Takashi – its fine, they react to noise but all the noise are coming from the bridge..
Tetsuya walked out at the terrace
Tetsuya – glad we got out of that bus. Being in the bridge at this time would be bad
Takashi – here check it out
Takashi handed Tetsuya the binoculars. Tetsuya took a look in the bridge. Many living people were either being bitten, eaten, or being pinned down by the zombies
Tetsuya – fuck..
Takashi – you're damn right it would be bad. Its like a horror movie
Tetsuya handed the binoculars at Hirano. He then took a peak
Hirano – I remember a scene like this in Apocalypse now. Huh? What's that?
Hirano saw something. It looked like people rallying
Takashi – what's up?
Hirano – turn on the TV
Takashi turned the TV and saw what's happening. A person was rallying the other people
Guy – this abuse of power by the police is unforgivable!
People – unforgivable!
The people were raising signs and blaming the police and government for the incident.
Guy – we believe that this killer pandemic is caused by biological weapons developed by the Japanese and American governments!
Tetsuya and Hirano walked in and watched the TV
Tetsuya – turn to a different channel and see what's up
Takashi turned the channel and revealed a reporter in the same scene
Reporter – right now, we're live at the demonstrations of those that are against this lockdown.
Guy – we condemn those that caused this killer pandemic!
Reporter – according to these handouts from the group, they believe this is a cause of a leak from a biological weapon developed by the Japanese and American governments
Takashi – are you serious!? Biological weapons!? There's no way science can explain how corpses are able to move and attack people
Hirano – well, that would be the usual back story if we were in a movie or a game
Tetsuya – its just easy to blame the ones who are in charge, huh?
The camera turned to the bridge where the zombies are slowly approaching them. There was a woman with a dead child on her hands
Woman – this child and I are still alive! We're still alive! I beg you, please.. please save my child!
The child then came back to life and bit her mother's neck causing the mother to scream in agony as blood spilled out of her neck. The police hesitated but they eventually shot the woman, ending her pain
The people who were rallying saw this
Guy – the despicable police have finally resorted to indiscriminately using violence against citizens!
People – violence!
Guy – this abuse of power by the police is unforgivable!
People – unforgivable!
The head police then placed his hand on the guy's left shoulder. The guy faced him
Head police – stand down immediately, its too dangerous for you people to be here
Guy – screw you! You're just trying to cover up the conspiracy framed by our government!
Head police – ill repeat myself one last time, disband immediately
Guy – I refuse! Go away!
People – go away! Go away! Go away!
Head police – we've been ordered to take any measure necessary to maintain order. Its not exactly legal but.. this order is absolute
The head police aimed his pistol at the guy and shot him in the head. The chanting of the people quickly turned to screams and panics. With this the channel went down. Takashi then turned the TV off. Takashi, Hirano, and Tetsuya froze on what they saw
Takashi – we need to get out of here
Hirano – that's a bad idea. We wont be able to see as well in the dark
Tetsuya – yeah, we should just wait till daybreak and-
Tetsuya and Hirano gasped as a pair of arms appeared from behind Takashi. The arms then wrapped around Takashi. Takashi gasped and saw who it was, it was Shizuka. She was wearing only a towel that was wrapped around her body
Shizuka – Komuro!
Shizuka then kissed Takashi's left cheek which caused Takashi to push her back
Takashi – stop it!
Takashi however pushed her on her breasts. This caused her to moan, Hirano to gasped, and Tetsuya to freeze. Takashi immediately put away his hands
Takashi – I'm sorry, Ms. Shizuka are you..
Shizuka once again wrapped her arms around Takashi's neck
Shizuka – its fine isn't it?
Shizuka then saw Hirano and crawled to him
Shizuka – Hirano dear..
Hirano – d-dear?
Shizuka – you've been such a good boy. Here's your reward..
Shizuka then kissed Hirano's left cheek which causes Hirano to fall to the ground
Tetsuya – b-bro.. you should calm her down..
Takashi – y-yeah
Takashi stood up and approached Shizuka
Takashi – we shouldn't be loud. Please go back downstairs.
Shizuka – no way! I'm scared when its too quiet. I want to stay here forever..
Shizuka then closed her eyes
Takashi – Ms. Shizuka?
Tetsuya then went out of the balcony
Takashi – be on the look out bro, ill take her downstairs
Tetsuya – alright
Takashi carried the drowsed Shizuka on his back
Takashi – hang on
Takashi started to walk to the stairs
Takashi – this would be really hot of its not in this kind of situation
Rei – what would be really hot?
Takashi saw Rei by the stairs wearing only a tank top and no pants.
Takashi – ah, I mean..
Rei – ah, there's three Takashi's!
Rei had star for eyes
Takashi – h-huh?
Rei – there's a lot of you!
She then fell on her behind on the floor. Takashi signs
Takashi – not you too
Rei sat up straight with her head lowered
Rei – I'm worn out.. everything went crazy in just a day, I couldn't contact my dad, Hisashi died too
Rei started sobbing
0000000000
Takashi put Shizuka on the couch and covered her with a blanket. He then saw Takagi sleeping with a very short shorts and a short tank top. Takashi then went to the kitchen where Saeko was cooking and opened the fridge
Saeko – Komuro, our late night snack will be ready soon, it'll be our lunch for tomorrow too
Takashi – thanks a bunch, I'm sorry for causing you too much trouble..
Takashi then saw Saeko's outfit. She was wearing only her panties and an apron. This caused Takashi to gasped
Saeko – what's wrong?
Takashi – what's wrong? Do you even want to ask that!?
Saeko – oh you mean this stupid thing?
Saeko grabbed the apron
Saeko – I was unable to find any clothes that could fit me so I'm currently wearing this until the laundry is done
Takashi – s-sorry.. ah, no, its okay! But I don't know when they'll attack so..
Saeko – you, Hirano and your brother have your eyes open for us and that's sweet. I put my absolute trust in you three. I want you guys to know that, I mean.. I really want you guys to know
Takashi – ahahaha..
Rei – Takashi get up here, Takashi!
Saeko – I think you should see what she wants. At times a girl does enjoys to act helpless
Takashi – so that goes for you too huh?
Saeko – I guess
Rei – Takashi! Hey Takashi! Takashi!
Takashi sighed as Saeko giggled.
0000000000
Tetsuya and Hirano were looking out for danger
Tetsuya – remember Hirano, look out for not only zombies but also living people. Psychotic people who will take advantage of the apocalypse and do some crime are dangerous
Hirano – I know, but there's no one here. Not them or anyone
Tetsuya – they're all at the bridge huh?
Hirano – thank god that we have a humvee. That thing is amphibious
Tetsuya – amphibious?
Hirano – it means it can float on water and drive on land
Tetsuya – nice, we really are lucky to have you
Hirano – oh really thanks
0000000000
Takashi and Rei were sitting on the stairs and talking
Rei – like I said, Hisashi was really sweet. That's why I really want to.. even when I felt lonely, he was always there to listen to me. Even when I had to repeat a grade. But all you ever do is get upset about it.
Rei pulled Takashi's sleeve
Rei – hey are you listening?
Takashi – this is really tiring
Takashi handed his juice to her
Rei – huh?
Takashi – I'm tired
Rei swayed his hand
Rei – what the hell is with that? That's why you're so boring
Takashi – I'd be an actor if I could look happy right now
Rei – you're always like this
Takashi – do you expect me to listen to every little thing you say? I got my own problems as well
Rei – that's why me and Hisashi
Takashi bolted upwards in anger
Takashi – shut up!
Rei gasped
Takashi – you bring up Hisashi every chance you get! I'm not him! And.. he already died! After he changed! I killed him! Stop running away from reality! We're still alive and we're gonna stay alive no matter what! No matter what! So, stop talking about him..
Rei pulled Takashi's sleeve again and she stood up. A moment of silence occurred around them and Rei captured Takashi's lips. Takashi fell on the ground and they kissed there for a few seconds. Rei was about to take off her tank top when Takashi pushed he slightly
Takashi – if we're going to go any further.. I'm gonna get a boner
Rei then giggled. That's when they heard a dog barking
Rei – there's a dog barking
Takashi – there's a dog out right now?
Rei – but its coming from somewhere close
Tetsuya then appeared
Tetsuya – hey bro-
Tetsuya saw the position they were in
Tetsuya – oh.. sorry to disturb you but we got problems
Takashi – huh? What is it?
Tetsuya – its them
They then walked to the terrace to see Hirano handing out the shotgun
Hirano – this is bad guys
On the streets dozens of them were walking towards their apartment. The fence is the only thing that's keeping them away
Takashi – where did they all come from?
Tetsuya – I thought the world was already messed up. But I guess I underestimated it
Hirano – yeah
Tetsuya – this was just the beginning of the end
Saeko then arrived at the terrace
Saeko – what's going on?
Takashi – they're here
Hirano handed the binoculars to her and she used it. She saw a man with a shotgun shooting the zombies in the streets. He reloaded and dropped a bullet. He picked it up but they already surrounded him. They pinned them down and started biting him. His cries of agony was heard from the terrace. Saeko then lowered the binoculars
Saeko – its worse, its getting much worse
Takashi – damn, this is bullshit!
Takashi turned around
Hirano – Komuro!
Takashi – what!?
Hirano – you're gonna shoot them right?
Takashi – yeah I'll shoot. I'll shoot and-
Saeko – wait didn't you forget? They react to sounds remember
Hirano gasped as they saw Saeko's outfit from behind. Saeko went inside and turned off the lights
Saeko – and as for the living. They'll be gathering here once they notice the light and our figures. Naturally we lack the ability to help those who are still alive. We need to stay in the dark
Tetsuya – he's right bro, who knows what they'll do once we help them. If they're hostile that'll be our asses
Takashi – yeah..
Saeko handed the binoculars
Saeko – take a good look around. You need to grow accustomed to this. Furthermore, this world has become a place where you cant survive on being strong alone
Takashi accepted the binoculars and Saeko walked to the stairs
Takashi – I thought you're different Saeko
Saeko turned around
Saeko – don't get the wrong idea Komuro, I'm not being cool. Whether you like it or not, I'm merely stating the truth
Saeko then walked downstairs as Takashi and Tetsuya went back to the terrace
Hirano – oh, don't let yourself be seen when you guys look outside
Takashi – yeah
Tetsuya – got it
They kneed down and lowered their heads. Takashi then used the binoculars to look out. He saw a man being eaten by the vending machine. Another was knocking on the door as the zombies were approaching him and eventually bit him
Takashi – its hell out there
Takashi then saw a man and a young female child running to a mansion. They went inside the gate and closed the gate. The man looked like a father she was her daughter. The father tried to get help in the mansion but once the door opened he was stabbed by a knife tied to a broom. Once the knife was pulled the door closed and the man fell on the ground bleeding. He fell on the gate opening it. His daughter ran up to him. As her father died the daughter was crying, attracting them. Takashi lowered his binoculars
Takashi – shit!
With this Hirano cranked the sniper rifle and aimed it to the zombie that's the nearest to her
Hirano – ROCK AND ROLL BITCHES!
Hirano shot the zombie on the head and shot the other ones who were close to her. Tetsuya grinned at this
Tetsuya – nice
Hirano – I've never used this gun before and I just scored a headshot with it. That's what you ugly meatbags get for going after a little girl!
Hirano aimed at the once who were approaching the girl
Hirano – aim at the head and..
Hirano shot them in the head
Hirano – dinner time!
Saeko heard the gunshot. Shizuka and Takagi were still sleeping. Rei also heard the gunshot. The dog ran to the girl's side
Takashi – Hirano
Hirano – yeah?
Takashi – I thought you said you weren't going to shoot
Hirano – DUDE IT'S A LITTLE GIRL! You go save her and I'll cover you from up here!
Takashi nodded and walked out of the terrace.
Tetsuya – I'll open the gate for you
Tetsuya followed Takashi. Takashi grabbed his crowbar. He and Tetsuya walked down the stairs and met with Rei
Rei – Takashi, Tetsuya, what's going on?
Takashi – I'm going to rescue a little girl
Rei – t-then I'll go with-
Takashi – no, you guard the gate with Tetsuya. I'm going to bike in from the other side
Rei – but-
Saeko – let him go
The three of them turned to Saeko with her wooden sword
Saeko – a man has spoken
Takashi – sorry Saeko, I still have some human qualities after all
Saeko – of course, I was already aware of that.
Tetsuya – don't worry about this place bro, we'll cover the ground for you
Takashi – yeah, thanks
Rei – Takashi
Rei approached Takashi
Rei – you should at least take this
Rei handed the pistol that Takashi gave to Hirano at the bridge
Takashi – yeah
0000000000
