In Spite of a Nail Arc 1: Chapter 2: Living with Zombie Girl

Life after moving in with Kimihito was a bit odd for Zombina, not that she would trade it away for anything. She knew he was a good cook and liked making food, but she hadn't expected him to be...domesticated, for lack of anything better to say. She could only guess he ended up this way because he had lived on his own for so long.

That wasn't to say her now live-in boyfriend was on the way to becoming house husband; if he was, she'd probably get bored pretty quick, to be honest. Kimihito just had been so used to running on a budget that he didn't seem up to changing his ways now that the household income was boosted by her own earnings.

Even with her comfortable income from her MON work meaning they could get him an upgrade, Kimihito insisted on still running his little junker rebuilding business out of the garage. He had sold off a few things he had been working on when they first started dating and was now repairing an old car that he was hoping to get a good chunk of money out of.

At the moment though, the thoughts of her human boyfriend fixing up that junker in the garage were rapidly fading into the back of Zombina's mind, mostly because she was too busy cuddling up on the couch with said human.

One thing Zombina had learned about herself after the move in was that she had turned into a cuddler. She couldn't help it! Kimihito was just so warm to wrap her arms around and it felt like she'd suddenly spring back to life if she stayed around him long enough.

For Kimihito's part, he certainly didn't seem mind the rather amorous hugs and cuddles he'd get as far as Zombina could tell. She tended to press herself in as much as possible in her search for even more warmth, and by the look of it, it took all of the human's willpower at times to not kiss his girlfriend. The thought of zombification was all that kept his impulses in check.

Zombina almost frowned at the thought, but managed to fend off the negative emotion fast enough that she thought Kimihito wouldn't notice. It was at her insistence that they didn't move beyond some petting and rubbing. She was rather certain her luck wouldn't be good enough for Kimihito to be one of those few people that was immune to zombification, and she was unsure if her saliva alone was enough to actually cause an incident but she didn't want to risk it.

At the very least she hadn't had the urge to bite him since she had met the human, she'd have been-

"Aaah..." Zombina's train of thought was thrown very far off the rails and she let out a pleased moan. Coming back to the world around her she saw, and could very much feel, Kimihito's finger trailing along the line of stitching just above her breasts. In the week or so they had been living together, her boyfriend had gotten very good at finding her sensitive spots, and the lines of stitches were some of the most sensitive on her body.

"You looked like you were getting down on yourself again." Kimihito said with a small frown of concern on his face. "I really don't mind, you know."

Zombina sighed, but she couldn't help but smile at Kimihito. "I know, it's just I worry you'll get bored with me. You know?"

"Heh, bored?" He smiled with a heartwarming skepticism. "My girlfriend is a gorgeous, invulnerable, somewhat scatterbrained-"

"Hey!"

"Special police force officer." Kimihito continued like Zombina hadn't just interrupted. "I really don't think any man could get bored with that."

"Hmph." Zombina pouted, and crossed her arm's over her chest, her head tilted as she tried to hide her blush.

Kimihito's face broke out into a grin. "Hey, if you're going to be like that I'm just going to have to do this."

His fingers went back to the seam, trailing along it and eliciting a shiver from the zombie girl. The pout remained still even with that.

"And this." His other hand slipped under the tanktop she was wearing and followed along her stomach. This time he got a moan out of the dead girl and the pout started to quaver.

A few more moments of that and the pout disappeared entirely, Zombina pressing back into Kimihito's chest and, not willing to let herself be the only one teased, wiggled her butt into his groin.

Unfortunately, just as one of the human's hands was starting to wander toward somewhere more intimate, the doorbell rang.

Neither of them wanted to answer it. That would mean leaving the bed and dropping their enjoyable little game. The two sat perfectly still for a moment, hoping that maybe if their seemed to be no life in the house then whoever it was would leave. After two minutes, it seemed to have worked, and both let out a happy sigh.

Then the doorbell rang again, and it was a tune familiar to Kimihito.

"God dammit, now of all times." Kimihito sighed, and Zombina realized he was going to have to take this and shifted off him. He stood up and groused. "Guess you'll get to meet my friends then, though I wish they'd give some damned warning before they showed up."

Zombina stood up too and followed her boyfriend toward the door. "Well, if you want I could probably scare them off."

"Nah, probably wouldn't work anyways. Paninya is persistent if nothing else." Kimihito said back over the continued ringing of the doorbell, which only stopped when he threw it open to reveal his three friends standing there waiting.

"Took ya long enough! I was starting to think you...didn't…" Paninya started strong, before she trailed off at the sight of Zombina. "Oh, this is the girl you were talking about! Heya," The tanned girl held out a hand to the zombie. "Nice to meet you, I'm Paninya."

Zombina took the hand just as eagerly, and her fangs showed up as she grinned. "Nice to meet you too."

The three males in the area felt a terrible shiver down their spines as they realized how bad having Zombina and Paninya in the same place could be. Though at least the tensions was somewhat lessened for Kimihito when the zombie girl continued.

"Though you think you could have called first!?"

Paninya, along with Keitaro and Kazuto both took notice of the two's state of dress then. Notably while nothing was missing, Zombina's tank top was noticeably ruffled, and Kimihito's clothes were much the same. Keitaro and Paninya at least had the decency to blush.

"Ahh," Kazuto said with a grin. "I think we were interrupting a bit of fun time, Paninya. Too bad. But since you two are already up, might as well let us in, right?"

Kimihito and Zombina both glared at the taller man, Keitaro also joined in though more with a 'not cool bro' look then the sheer terrifying looks Kazuto was getting from the couple. "H-Hey! Sorry I just wanted to make a joke!"

"Fine." Kimihito said with a sigh, while Zombina broke into a laugh at Kazuto's terrified face. "Luckily for you three I actually have something cooking."

As soon as the three got themselves inside, Paninya was dragging Zombina away from the men saying. "You guys stay away! We need to have a little friend to girlfriend talk!"

Kimihito would have helped his undead girlfriend, but he knew the potential wrath of the girl with the metallic arm, and so the only support Zombina got from him was an 'You're on your own, really sorry' look while she vanished with a bewildered expression.

A few moments later it was just Kimihito and his two friends left in the entrance hall. A palpable silence hung in the air for a minute, before a loud. "That's none of your business!" Rang out through the house.

"Well, looks like Paninya is already going for the questions about your sex life." Kazuto said with that smug grin back on his face. "Though I got to admit, I didn't think a zombiegirl was going to look that...alive, for lack of a better word."

"She seemed nice…" Keitaro chimed in. "How long have you two been dating?"

Kimihito sighed and started answering questions. "Well, she won't find much, we haven't really gone too far. It's a bit hard when one wrong bite can...you know." He waved his hand around in a circle for some reason he didn't know himself. "And we've been dating now for a few months, she only moved in last week though."

"Well sorry for dropping in unexpected." Kazuto patted Kimihito on the shoulder. "If we'd known you were having a bit of fun we'd have gone to a restaurant."

"Ehh, it's fine. Keitaro shows up rarely enough that I don't mind us all getting together whenever we can. How is the inn doing anyways?"

"It...could be better." Keitaro said with some hesitation, looking over his shoulder for some reason. "The repair bill seems to keep getting higher and higher."

"According to Paninya, almost all of that is cause Keitaro keeps getting punted through walls by either the Oni or one of the 'human' girls that lives there." Kazuto cut in.

Keitaro apparently wasn't going to let that go though. "They are just a bit excitable! It's not my fault that I keep getting in those situations."

"We might as well take this out of the entrance hall." Kimihito started to shove the two other men into his house. "They can't be taking up every other room in the house and I need to check on dinner anyways."

Dinner, thankfully, didn't take too much longer, but Paninya and a thoroughly harassed Zombina didn't return till he called out for everyone to get their food. The tanned girl threw Kimihito a thumbs up when she came into the kitchen. "You got yourself a real winner here, Kimi! Better not fuck it up!"

After that things moved fast. The five moving into the living room and the conversation began to flow. Everyone was curious about what Zombina did for a living, and she didn't hesitate to regale them with the more interesting stories she had. Much to Kimihito's embarrassment, the story at the doujin store came up and his friends were merciless on teasing him about being in the porn store.

"And that's when this little sweetheart leaned over me while I played possum and asked," Zombina pulled her best impression of her boyfriend, " 'P-please don't be hurt, you dear delicate little angel.'"

"That is not what I said!"

"Go back to the part about his favourite monster girl!"

"I already told you I didn't join in with any of that!"

"Well who is your favourite monster girl, then?"

"...Zombie girls, of course." As good an excuse to shift some embarrassment as it was to the blushing Zombina, Keitaro and Paninya let out a little aww.

After that, the conversation moved onto the equally embarrassing topic of their dating. At least this time Zombina was just as embarrassed as Kimihito was, and the questions were answered mostly with snapped remarks telling them it was none of their business from Zombina, and 'You have to be fucking kidding me' glares from Kimihito. The only person who got straight answers was Keitaro, just because he was too timid to ask anything too personal.

Eventually though the conversations just returned to general interests, a set of topics that only made the men in the room even more terrified as Zombina and Paninya kept discovering more things they shared in common. Pranks, guns, teasing, even certain games… They had had enough misadventures from Paninya's bids to squeeze enjoyment out of every last one of them. The thought of her having an accomplice was enough to have the three quivering in their boots.

Soon enough though, the night would start to go on and three would head home with a promise to call next time they were planning to show up, and Kazuto leaving a box of condoms. Not that they were needed in the first place but it was still enough to make both residents of the Kurusu household blush. The whole visit left the two very drained, and soon after the others left they were soon asleep, with any play before then being restrained by their fatigue.

"Promise me you won't help Paninya prank us, please."

A purposefully ambiguous mumble was the response from Zombina, leaving Kimihito with the stomach-turning mental image of what mischief the duo could achieve.

**ISoaN**

The next morning was a Sunday, and neither Kimihito or Zombina were exactly eager to leave the bed even as the sun shone through the window. In fact when Kimihito had made an attempt to get out of bed at sometime around nine in the morning, Zombina had rolled on top of him and latched on with a vicegrip and kept him from escaping.

For lack of anything better to do, and the fact that he really should probably get out of bed and start on breakfast, Kimihito decided to pick up where he had left off last night. Wiggling one hand free of the zombie girl's grip, he started to tease the reachable skin of the back of her exposed back.

That was one thing that after the first night Zombina had more or less insisted on. It turned out she didn't sleep in clothes normally, and while she at least was wearing panties now, she still spent the entire night half nude. The result had nearly driven Kimihito into fatal shock on the second night when she had come out of the shower like that.

By now he had gotten mostly used to it, even if it did make sleeping a bit...difficult sometimes. It really didn't help when he occasionally woke up with his hand grasping one of the girl's firm mounds.

In a situation like this though, he almost wished her upper half was exposed and not pressed up against his t-shirt covered chest. At the very least a quick squeeze or a pinch would probably wake her up fast. Instead his teasing of her back only seemed to make her hug him tighter, the zombie girl latching on like a barnacle.

Resigning himself to being stuck for a while, Kimihito let his head fall back to the pillow and continued to draw slow circles over his girlfriend's back. The movements slowly started to rouse the dead, not exactly in the way Kimihito expected but he wasn't going to complain, when Zombina started to slowly rub against him in her sleep.

Slowly his hand started to wander more and more, and Zombina finally woke up and lifted herself off his chest. With bleary eyes she looked down at him. "Hmm," She yawned and rubbed against him deliberately. "So bold this early in the morning?" Another rub, this one very directed and drew a groan from Kimihito. "Well, maybe we can have some fun."

With her upper body now completely bared to Kimihito, he felt his eyes drawn to her pert and firm breasts, and his hands followed shortly after. While the stitches that crisscrossed Zombina were some of the more sensitive parts of her body, her breasts were just as responsive and as he squeezed and teased Zombina started to pant.

Then the phone rang.

The two paused for a moment and stared at the bedside phone for a few moments as it continued to ring and eventually, moved onto the voicemail. The two gave a relieved sigh as silence continued after.

Then the phone rang again, and again.

"Dammit! This better be good or I'm going to hurt someone." Zombina growled and picked the phone up without getting off Kimihito. "Kurusu household, Zombina here, who the hell are you?"

"..." The muffled response came.

"Dammit, why now! I wanted a day off." Zombina responded.

"..."

Zombina's frown lessened a bit. "Hmm, I can bring him along?"

"..."

"Well, at least that might make things less boring. Guess we'll be there."

"..."

Putting down the phone, Zombina let out a sigh. "Well, we got to go to some sort of meeting, and it starts in two hours."

There was a bit of hope in Kimihito's eyes that they might have enough time to continue what they were doing.

"It's an hour away, and we need some breakfast."

"Damn. Fine, you take the first shower, I'll start on breakfast."

**ISoaN**

As Kimihito cooked while Zombina was still in the shower, the phone rang again. Reaching out with a sigh Kimihito picked it up and brought it to his ear. "Kurusu household, who's this?"

The voice that came through the phone nearly blew out Kimihito's eardrums, both in its volume and its its terrible grasp of language. "Cici! I call for Zombina!"

Holding the phone a bit away from his head Kimihito responded. "She's in the shower at the moment, I can take a message though."

"Tell her that Cici comes! I arrive today! In an hour at docks! I will take her boyfriend for husband!" This 'Cici' said before the phone went dead, and left a rather put out Kimihito still holding a beeping line.

It was to that scene that Zombina arrived to in the kitchen. "Hey, you okay? Looks like someone told you you had ten minutes to live or something."

"Uhh," Kimihito slowly put the phone back on the cradle. "Do you know someone called Cici?"

"Oh god." Zombina's face fell into her hand. "What did she say?"

"Something about she was going to be here at the docks in an hour, and that she was coming to take your boyfriend as her husband." Kimihito's eyebrow raised especially at that last point. "Should I be worried?"

"Yes and no." Zombina sighed through her hands. "Cici's one of my few friends outside of MON, and also a habitual criminal. She keeps trying to sneak her way into Japan and after I caught her a few times we started hanging out before she'd get deported back to Taiwan."

The zombie pulled her head out of her hands. "Now though she calls me every time she is trying to break into the country. I mean it's fun to beat her and hanging out after is fun too, but it's annoying at times! She just shows up whenever, kinda like your friends really. But hey, at least we can skip out on that meeting."

"Okay then." Kimihito said with a shrug, if Zombina didn't want to go to the meeting he certainly wasn't going to try to fight for it. Anyways he wasn't going to leave Zombina to deal with some woman that was apparently coming here this time to come after him.

"Also, how did she actually know about me?"

"Well, I told her about you when I caught her a month ago." Zombina shrugged, and then opened up one of Kimihito's unused linen closets, that had apparently been turned into an armoury at some point without his knowledge.

"When did you do this?!"

"When you were down in your garage playing at being an autoshop."

Kimihito scratched the back of his head, maybe he shouldn't have his headphones in when he was working...

"Ever used a gun before? No wait. Of course you wouldn't have, this is Japan." She paused, before showing an alarmingly toothy grin. "Well might as well start you off with something you can't miss with."

Pulling a long pump shotgun from the closet, she handed it to Kimihito along with a large number of odd shells. "Don't worry, those shells are just loaded with rocksalt. Even if you somehow hit anyone, you won't hurt 'em. That thing's about as basic as you can get; point, pull the trigger, pump the action and you're good to go again."

Kimihito felt a little sweat on his hands over handling a gun for the first time in his life, but then nodded. "Okay." He already knew why rocksalt was what it was loaded with. The cookbooks he had bought said that salt paralyzed zombies, which had played havoc on his ability to store anything and budget, but he had managed it.

"Good! Now let's go!" Zombina was loaded down with two guns of her own, but she still dragged Kimihito to the garage.

**ISoaN**

While Kimihito may have been working on that scooter for a while, it seemed his real pride and joy was the motorcycle he had managed to get his hands on. Bright red, sleek curves with no exposed machinery and a bucket seat, the bike was an almost perfect replica of the one from Akira.

"There's my scooter. Do you like it?" Kimihito gestured to its majesty.

"I do, but...you call that a scooter?"

"Yeah, it gets me everywhere."

"But that's not a scooter. It's a motorbike."

"What?"

"A motorbike. I've driven a few before because they're perfect for tearing up the road. This thing's built for tearing up the road. It's a motorbike."

"I'm the mechanic here, I think I can tell a scooter from a motorbike."

"And I'm the badass crime-fighting special agent!" Zombina grinned at her trump card, while her mechanically minded boyfriend scratched his head nervously.

"But, you can get around with it easily like a scooter, and it's from a lot of the parts that my old scooter had before…"

"It's a motorbike, you dolt, end of." Zombina playfully slapped the back of his head as he moved forward, before playfully pinching his rear from behind as a pick-me-up. "Now let's ride."

The bike was also a one seater, something that Kimihito was of mixed feelings about as he burned down the streets with Zombina sitting in his lap. On one hand he had a girl in his lap on a vibrating motorcycle, on the other hand he was trying to handle and steer a bike with someone sitting in his way.

Still he hadn't managed to get themselves or anyone else killed as they pulled into the harbour Zombina directed him to, so that was a win in his books. As he shut off the engine Zombina leaped off his lap and checked her phone. "Five minutes to the hour, nice driving Kimi!"

"Heh, well don't expect us to go as fast on the way back, I think I got white hairs from handling that." Kimihito said as he locked up his bike and took his shotgun from Zombina, he also discretely pulled out his sewing kit from the travel box. He had zero confidence in his shooting abilities, but he'd be damned if he wasn't at least going to help by patching his girlfriend up after god knows what happened.

Looking around the dockyard filled with shipping crates Kimihito asked. "So how will we know where she is here, this place is pretty big."

"Trust me, Cici is prone to making an entrance for herself, but if you see an envelope don't pick it up." Zombina's voice, indeed her whole posture was serious. The zombie girl had firmly gone into 'work mode.'

"Damn, Cici's trap foiled already." Came a disjointed voice from the crates, and a moment later a girl dressed in an outfit that looked straight out of an anime, jumped up onto one of the shipping containers and looked at the two. Unlike Zombina who could pass for human if it wasn't for the stitches, this girl was very obviously a monstergirl of some form. While she didn't seem to have any visible stitching, she had a purple hue to her skin that just screamed undead. "I will beat you still, Zombina! Then boyfriend will be my husband!"

"Yeah, that isn't going to happen." Both Zombina and Kimihito said simultaneously.

Cici seemed to smile at that for some reason. "Already like married couple you two are! Maybe we can just make it three way?"

"Still not happening!" Zombina growled and practically territorially barked at the other girl. "Anyways you just want to marry him so you can move here. How selfish is that!"

"Guilty as is charge!" She giggled callously. "And there is of nothing you can be doing about it." Cici suddenly took off from the crate, a pair of metal claws emerging from her sleeves. The move, and the illegal weapons, caught Zombina off guard.

Kimihito, on the other hand, panicked and pulled the trigger.

BAM! The shotgun report echo'd through the harbour and while the shot was wide it still caused Cici to flinch and dodge away, missing her opportunity to hit Zombina.

"Thanks, bae!" The stitched up girl gave a thumbs-up as she grinned and pointed her two guns at the taiwanese zombie. "Now you're coming in, Cici!"

Gunshots rang out again, and Cici was quickly forced onto the back foot as Zombina took shots without mercy. It was only thanks to the other zombie girl's apparent flexibility that she was able to dodge out of the way of the fire.

"How did you get this flexible! Last time you were as stiff as a board." Zombina half shouted as she kept firing with the pair of auto shotguns.

Cici's grin grew. "I warm up this time! No stiff for Cici. Now you run out of ammo and I will into win!"

"How can a zombie warm up!?" Kimihito asked from behind the fighting pair.

Indeed, the taiwanese zombie was partially right, and a moment later both Zombina's guns clicked dry. "Well shit."

"I have you now!" Cici shouted with a grin and launched forward again, her body spinning like a top. She was just inches from Zombina when Kimihito pulled the trigger on his own gun again.

This time he didn't miss.

The shot caught the spinning Cici right in the torso, and her body locked up instantly. Unfortunately his shot had been slightly in favour of the side she had been spinning in, and the extra momentum just made her spin faster, followed by her crashing into the ground behind and to the side of Zombina.

"You have to be kidding me…" Zombina sighed, a moment before both her arms fell off. She seemed to be waiting for something else to happen, but after a moment she just 'shrugged' as best as her armless self could. "Well, I thought that was going to be worse. nice shot by the way. Though, a little help Kimi?"

Kimihito was already fishing out his sewing kit. "Don't worry, I've got you.. Say, shouldn't we tie her up or something?" He waved to the downed and still frozen Cici.

"Nah you got her pretty solidly, she should be stuck like that for a good while. More than enough time to patch me back up." Zombina sat down on her paralyzed friend, rocking her rear steadily back and forth. "Did you put on some weight, Cici? You seem more comfortable than last time."

"I take offense! I can not be of gain weight!" The taiwanese girl said from the ground. "Also boy got lucky, Cici should have won."

"A loss is a loss Cici, no being salty about it." Zombina said with a grin as Kimihito rounded up both her arms and started sewing.

"I pretty much did get lucky, though." Kimihito admitted as he slowly started to re-attach the missing limbs, taking secret joy in watching Zombina blush at the sensations. "Though, uhh, why did you pick claws of all things to use as a weapon Cici?"

Cici frowned. "Saw in game. Zombina brought gun to fistfight last time. Thought I'd get her back."

"I bring a gun to every fight." Zombina said with a fang exposing grin. "Except the ones in the bedroom."

Cici's frown turned to a similar grin to Zombina's at the topic change. "Human brings gun then, yes?"

"Oh ya, and it's a big one too!" Zombina continued as her grin grew even wider. "But you don't get to see it."

"Can you two not talk about that!" Kimihito cut in from his sewing, his face tomato red. "Uhm...thanks for the compliment?"

Zombina looked like she was on the verge of laughing, Cici on the other hand looked to be in serious thought for a moment. "Zombina, your boyfriend is still virgin?"

"N-N-No I'm not!" Kimihito's automatic, inadequate reply shot back immediately, and sent Zombina into a laughing fit that made stitching much more difficult. The man had to clamp down on Zombina's shoulder to keep her from rolling off Cici and tearing her stitching before it was done.

When Zombina's laughter stopped, her smile turned to a pout with frightening rapidity. "Only reason he still is is 'cause every time we get started something happens! Like you showing up!"

"Cici sorry. Didn't mean to interrupt fun times." The taiwan undead seemed oddly serious about that. "But was so boooored. Couldn't get good manga in Taiwan."

"You know you can always just ask me to buy it for you right?" Zombina said with a sigh, that was a bit more heated than it would have been if Kimihito hadn't finished sewing on one arm and moved to the other. The human had decided to take his revenge a bit by lightly teasing Zombina out of the frozen Cici's view.

"But then we no see each other! Can Cici stay with you till they deport me tomorrow?"

Zombina looked like she really wanted to refuse, but she couldn't bring herself to do it, and she looked at Kimihito with almost begging eyes to get him to agree.

"Fine, she can stay in the guest room. Though uhh, no trying to force me to marry you or anything okay?"

"I won't! You two won so Cici will find someone else to scam later."

Silence hung over them for a bit.

"Shouldn't we tell MON about this?"

"A case like Cici is already as good as taken care of." Zombina shrugged.

**ISoaN**

That night it had taken some time to get Cici to calm down and go to bed. The jiang shi had been insistent on drinking the entirety of the formerly limited, recently expanded, and now non-existent alcohol storage in the house, and also on making sure everyone else had some as well. So by the time they finally did head to bed, everyone was rather sloshed.

"Heh, hope you're ready for some fun, Kimi. Nothing is going to get in our way this time." Zombina said with a grin as her and Kimihito stumbled into their room. The zombie girl insistently pushing her boyfriend toward the bed.

Kimihito chuckled. "Our luck has been really bad on that hasn't it."

Zombina was fighting herself to keep from stopping Kimihito from finishing that sentence with a kiss. They still hadn't found a way around the saliva problem and she refused to risk him getting zombified just to avoid potentially cursing their own luck.

Giving Kimihito a push that caused the human to sit on the bed, she quickly shrugged her tanktop off and threw it away. Her pants and panties followed a moment after and for what was actually the first time she was completely nude before the human. If it wasn't for the booze she might have felt somewhat embarrassed, but at the moment she was just feeling incredibly hungry, and not for food.

Even through the haze of alcohol, Zombina still had one worry. That now that she was fully bare before him Kimihito would find her disgusting, but the look Kimihito was giving her quickly threw those worries to the side.

"Now, how 'bout we start off from before we got interrupted." Zombina's voice was filled with sensuality as she leaned down into Kimihito's lap, pushing him back so she was straddling the human. She was just slipping one finger around the waistband of Kimihito's jeans when she suddenly felt someone pressing up against her back and a moment later Cici's face would come into her peripheral vision.

"This looks fun! Cici can join yes?"

**ISoaN**

"So...what happened to her?" Ms. Smith said as she took a sip of coffee while watching the girls load a very unconscious, and very badly beat up Cici into the back of a MON pattywagon.

Zombina had a frown of frustration on her face. "She tried to sneak into Japan again."

"I guessed that, she's usually conscious when you hand her over though." Smith's voice turned to teasing, and it seemed she knew exactly what had happened when she said. "Also you're looking a bit stressed, has your boy not been up to standards in bed?"

Zombina glared at her friend for a moment, before sighing. "Everytime we try, something seems to interrupt. Cici was just the most frustrating of those interruptions."

"Well, I have something for you on that front." Smith rooted around in her pockets for a moment before pulling out a pill bottle. "Here, this is a little something the scientists came up with. It's a temporary counter medication to zombiefication. If your boyfriend there has one of these, you can do whatever you want and he'll be safe for two days, one if you want to be really safe."

Zombina's eyes tracked onto the bottle like it was the only bit of water and she had just walked through the desert. Smith took some advantage of that to tease her friend some more, waving the bottle left and right and watching the zombie girl follow its movements. Then she handed it over and Zombina looked like a kid that just got the best christmas present ever.

"Oh, also, since you weren't at the meeting. The marriage law got amended. You and Kimihito here are a potential test case since you're 'responsible.'" Smith gave her teammate a wink. "So whenever you two are ready for that, feel free to come to me and I'll get it all set up."

Zombina nodded. She wasn't going to tell Kimihito about that yet, if only because she was fairly sure the human might freak out a bit if she brought it up right now; she used to be human, after all, so she knew how much more willing monstergirls were to speed along relations then normal people were.

But with this wonderful promise, well, even if it took welding every door shut, she would not be interrupted again!

"Well, I'm going to go test this out then. Hope you don't mind me leaving Cici to you girls!" Zombina said as she practically bounced back to the house.

Smith laughed and waved Zombina off. "Don't worry, we got it from here."

**ISoaN** **LEMON WARNING, SKIP TO NEXT BOLD IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO READ**

Kimihito was in the middle of being both sexually frustrated and normally frustrated as he got himself some water and food to deal with his slight hangover. He was getting just as pissed off as Zombina was when it came to the seemingly endless interruptions.

What he wasn't expecting, and what wasn't helpful to his mild headache, was the door practically getting kicked off its hinges by his undead girlfriend.

"Take one of these, right now!" Zombina said as she practically thrust a bottle of pills into his grip.

Kimihito took a moment to react, and when he did it was to lift the bottle to his eyes. "Zeedionin? What's this."

"It'll protect you from any potential zombiefication incident for a day." Zombina said, her eyes filled with demand for him to take one of those pills immediately.

Hell, Kimihito didn't need to be told twice. He was also fairly sure even if he wasn't just as pent up as his girlfriend, she'd not take no for an answer anyways at the moment.

One pill and a shot of water later, and Kimihito found himself pulled into a deep kiss. The two had both been anticipating this since not long after they started dating, and neither were disappointed. No longer did they need to imagine it.

For someone whose breasts were so firm, Zombina's lips were incredibly soft. It was like kissing velvet or silk and he couldn't imagine something better for his first true kiss.

For Zombina on the other hand, it was not her first kiss, but it was the first since she had turned. While Kimihito was definitely not the most experienced or skilled, she could care less. Years of forgetting the sensation, and her monster blood, drove her wild, deepening the kiss without a second thought, driving into the human's mouth and beginning a war of tongues.

The force of the kiss drove the two toward the living room, thanks in part to some steering from both involved parties. They collapsed onto the couch, with Zombina ending up on the bottom for once. As both heavily flushed beings separated for Kimihito to draw air, Zombina grinned. "Hmmm, I don't mind this, though guess you'll have to get me undressed this time."

"You act like that's a bad thing." Kimihito said with a grin, and slipped one hand underneath Zombina's tanktop. With deliberate slowness he lifted the shift enough to expose her firm mounds and promptly leaned down to give a short, testing, lick to both of the pert nipples he had exposed.

With a wiggle and a small moan she wasn't able to suppress, Zombina gave him a toothy grin around her blush. "Haaah, guess those hentai mags you got at least gave you some tips."

Kimihito responded with another flick of his tongue, emboldened by the apparent success, and drawing another slightly louder moan from the girl beneath him. His hand trailed along her stitching until it reached the belt of her shorts, and without delay he had those unbuttoned and sliding down. "Guess I got lucky. Though that was pretty obvious when I managed to get you to be my girlfriend." Kimihito's voice was tinged with nervousness, his attempt at smooth talking managing to draw a small laugh from his panty clad lover.

"Don't quit your day job casanova." Zombina's grin grew, and she added. "Also, you are wearing entirely too much clothing. Let me help with that..."

Zombina's definition of 'help' was to rip the fabric off him as fast as possible. With the strength her monster body gave her, she tore his top off with a single pull, his pants following only a moment later.

"Well, good thing I didn't care for those..." Kimihito muttered as he looked at the ruined garments, before turning back to his blushing zombie. Cautiously, he lowered her panties, exposing her sex. Even he, with his impressive repertoire of porographic doujin, was surprised by how it glistened. Smith had snuck some 'educational material' from her apparent uncle to him, and it had mentioned that for reasons unknown, while zombies couldn't have kids, the zombie virus didn't damage the reproductive organs of whoever it infected. Even the old zombies remained much more intact down there then they did anywhere else.

Not that anything so esoteric was on his mind at this precise moment.

His own boxer soon went the way of his other clothes as Zombina got her grip on them, revealing his erect, above average, manhood. "Heh, I really know how to pick them." He had to stop and blush at that before the Limnial's hungry voice snapped him back to reality. "Now...no more delaying! Give me everything!"

Kimihito didn't need to be told twice, and pushed past her moist, feminine petals, all the way to his hilt, in a single, fluid movement. He worried for a moment he might have been too rough, but the moan it elicited from Zombina, along with the indescribably strange, yet pleasant feeling of his virginity leaving him, flushed such worries from his mind.

Unfortunately, his very recently no-longer-former-virgin status did not confer him an abundance of stamina. He pulled nearly all the way out of Zombina, and began to set what he hoped was a good pace, when he already felt himself about to hit his edge. Zombina noticed it in his movements too, and through her blush and her own arousal she managed a surprisingly breathy. "Don't...worry about it...we'll have lots more times for this."

Kimihito still tried with all his might to hold back, but it was very much a lost cause, and with a groan he buried himself as deep as he could go a moment before climax wracked his body.

For Zombina, even if she was nowhere near her own satisfied, she couldn't help but let out an orgasmic moan of her own as she felt the heat of Kimihito's seed flow inside her. Her body reacted to 'life' and there was nothing that sent her body into heat more than the warmth in her womb now.

Soon enough the flow stopped though, and Kimihito slumped onto her with his head buried between her breasts. Between panted breaths, he muttered. "That felt...amazing. Sorry I didn't... last very long."

Zombina's grin grew feral, and with a deft movement Kimihito was the one on the bottom now. "Ohh don't worry, we'll just have to make up for for it with quantity."

Kimihito gulped, he was probably going to be feeling this in the morning…

**ISoaN** **LEMON HAS ENDED**

When Zombina woke up the next morning, it was after the best sleep she'd had in years. Her body felt so absolutely positively amazing and she could still feel the heat from the last nights long tryst inside her. She was almost certain she was alive again for a few moments as she stirred herself to full consciousness. Obviously she hadn't made a sudden recovery to the land of the living, but she certainly wasn't going to complain about what happened.

Kimihito hadn't had the most stamina, being a virgin not two days ago did that to you, but he made up for it with determination if nothing else. He had lasted a surprising number of rounds, and even managed to bring her to orgasm before he had conked out with Zombina not that far behind.

Now they were both laying nude on the couch, Zombina resting on top of her surprisingly comfortable boyfriend. Looking at him in his sleep she couldn't help but imagine them years from now. It wasn't like she was going anywhere fast, and maybe one day they'd decide he wanted to become a zombie too, then they could be together for as long as they kept themselves preserved. He'd probably want kids first though, she knew she had always wanted kids before she had become a zombie.

That thought quickly brought deep frown to her face, that was the one thing she couldn't give Kimihito, no matter how much she wanted to. Unfortunately it seemed Kimihito hadn't been as asleep as she had expected either, as his eyes opened and his hand went to her back. "What are you thinking about?"

"Just…" Zombina thought for a moment to lie to him, but something about the concern in his eyes kept him from doing that. "Worried…"

"About?"

"Well...I can't have kids...Are you sure you are fine with that?" Zombina's voice had a mild hint of panic now, worry that Kimihito might turn her down.

Instead he just leaned forward and kissed her, when he came back for air he said. "If I wasn't fine with it, I would have brought it up a while ago. Ms Smith gave me some books that told me about everything."

"So that's why you weren't surprised...Well, I guess I'll have to thank her next time I see her." Zombina's frown turned to a large grin, and Kimihito wouldn't be leaving that couch for a good hour or two more.

**ISoaN**

Two months later, Zombina was visiting Kimihito in the hospital.

Anyone who recognised there was a zombie in the hospital started asking questions in their panic. The staff held on her every word, prepared to call for emergency support to try and save whoever she had zombified. But she had only touched one person, one person very dear to her heart - her boyfriend, a young man named Kimihito. She just wanted to see him again.

Reluctantly, they would check the man's room as well as his medical dossier, to see what he was in for. He had been visited by numerous nurses and doctors in his time here, as well as some visits by personal friends of his. Fearful of a tragedy, the listening staff looked at the condition the dossier described Kimihito as having. And it defied their dramatic expectations.

'Bruised pelvis.'

Now it made sense to them why the zombie girl was blushing and fidgeting with embarrassment.

Their gigglefit knew no end.

They pointed her on her way to Kimihito's room, as best they could between their fits, and when she went on their way they stopped trying to hold it in any longer, still giggling even as the next utterly confused person came for their attention.

Zombina awkwardly carried on, looking around her and fidgeting her fingers as the occasional repressed chortle exposed who in the hospital knew why they had a zombie girl in that day. The redhead had been visiting for weeks now while he recovered, and more and more staff began recognising her. After all, bringing your boyfriend to the hospital for 'bruised pelvis' was a very embarrassing thing to do!

It wasn't her fault! Okay, it was entirely her fault, but she had just gotten so into 'it' that she hadn't been able to slow herself down. It was still Kimihito's fault for being so willing to be the bottom! After this though she wondered if she'd have to get him to take charge more.

Either way, Kimihito had been in the hospital for nearly a week and a half now. The doctors had decided that they might as well run a bunch of tests to see how the anti-zombie medication was affecting him. He said the tests weren't really a problem, but he spent most of the day bored, and Zombina could only show up after her shift ended on any given day.

She'd almost say it was surprising to come into Kimihito's room and see him talking with a bunch of kids that were at his bedside, but it wasn't really. He had taken to killing his spare time by playing with the kids from the children's ward. Though there were only three of the kids there today, usually there was a fourth, but the usually morose girl called Yuuhi that tended to disappear as soon as she showed up was nowhere to be seen.

Standing at the door to the room, her boyfriend having not noticed her yet, Zombina would soon find where the missing girl was as she felt a small tug at her jacket.

Turning to look at the strawberry blond girl, Zombina almost bounced back in a bit of fright at the odd stare the pre-pubescent girl was giving her. It wasn't that it was unusual for the girl Zombina had met occasionally, but this was the first time it had both caught her off guard and been nearly right in her face.

"Can we talk?" The girl said, her grip surprisingly strong on Zombina's jacket for a girl that looked like a stiff breeze would knock her over.

Checking inside to see that Kimihito was still thoroughly distracted playing some DS games with the assembled kids, Zombina shrugged. "Sure, lead the way kid."

Yuuhi would lead Zombina through the halls till they were in the hospital's courtyard, the trees and park benches giving patients a nice place to spend their days as they recovered. The girl would seat herself on one of the benches and Zombina would take the spot beside her.

"So, what did you want to talk about kid?" Zombina said to the stoic girl beside her.

It took Yuuhi a moment to respond, seemingly collecting her thoughts. "What was dying like, Ms Zombina?"

Zombina was thrown for a loop for the second time in just a few moments. She pulled her senses together though, and since it was no secret to the kids that she was a zombie she said "Well...I don't really remember much of it. I had was a latent carrier for the zombie virus, so when a police bust went wrong the next thing I remember was waking up in the morgue. Why are you curious?" Zombina already had an idea why this girl was asking her this question, but she had to make sure.

"I...I don't think I have much time left Ms Zombina." The girl's body shivered as tears welled up in the corner of her eyes. "I...I can feel myself getting weaker…" Yuuhi was now openly sobbing, and clung onto Zombina's side. "I'm so scared…"

Zombina couldn't help herself, wrapping her arms around Yuuhi. "Hey, don't worry. I've met some spirits, they say the afterlife isn't anything to worry about."

"B-But...I have so much I want to do…" The girls tears were now tinged with frustration. "Not...not that I could do anything...e-e-even if I wasn't going to die."

"What about your parents?" Again Zombina had a feeling she knew what was going to be said, and she hugged the crying girl even tighter.

"T-They're gone...They just stopped coming years ago…"

Even if they weren't dead, the girl in her arms was as good as an orphan. It put a thought into Zombina's mind, a thought that almost caused her to gag but she managed to hold it down as she continued to comfort the crying girl.

Here was someone that was going to die, a girl even younger than herself when she passed away, and she could do something about it. But doing so would be giving someone else the same blessing and curse she herself suffered from. Immortality, but always having to control yourself, having to make sure you didn't accidently infect anyone, having to live with the cold that came with the unliving.

"Hey." In the end it really wasn't a choice though. "Yuuhi, I could...give you something that might help."

The girl stopped crying for a moment and stared up at Zombina. "W-What is it?"

"Don't freak out for a moment okay?" Zombina reached into her jaw and grabbed one of her looser teeth, yanking it with one hard pull that caused it to come out. Yuuhi surprisingly enough remained calm even as Zombina handed the tooth to her. "If you really really don't want to die. Just grip this hard, enough to pierce your skin."

Zombina made sure she didn't do it now though, as her face went serious. "But please, before you potentially do this, think it through okay? You...won't be human if you do. You would be-"

"I'll be like you, right, Ms Zombina?" Yuuhi's eyes were drying now, and when Zombina nodded the young girl tucked the tooth into her one pocket. "Okay, I'll think it over. Thank you Ms Zombina." She gave Zombina one more hug, this one much more friendly then out of a need for comfort, then she stood up and started to head back toward the hospital.

Still on the bench, Zombina managed to say before Yuuhi could get too far away to hear. "Hey kid...if you end up going through with it...Kimi and I will try to look into taking you in. You'll be my responsibility afterall."

Yuuhi came back and hugged Zombina again. "Thank you Ms Zombina! Hopefully I'll see you tomorrow!"

In a much better mood now, Yuuhi headed back to the hospital with a very weak skip in her step. It took Zombina a few minutes of convincing herself what she did was the right thing to do before she got up and headed in to get some...comfort...from her boyfriend. Thank god for single patient rooms.

**ISoaN**

Zombina was freaking out, very badly.

"Zombina calm down. If you keep pacing like that you'll end up tearing your dress!" Tio said as she reached out and forcefully stopped Zombina by pulling her into a hug.

The redheaded zombie was still freaking out though. "But there's so many things that can go wrong! How can I keep calm!?"

"Tio's right." A quiet voice came from Manako. "We've planned everything out, and planned for every potential breakdown. It'll go perfectly though. I just wish I didn't have to wear this…"

"It's just a wedding, what are you even freaking out about." Dopple said disinterestedly from the corner of the room. "And why do I have to wear this, it's not like I couldn't just make some clothes for myself."

Much to Zombina's chagrin, not that she'd admit it, the day had finally come. A bit more than a year after they had started dating, Kimihito and Zombina were finally taking the last step to married life.

"Don't worry mommy, you look great!" Came the cheerful voice of Yuuhi. The now somewhat paler girl was more lively than ever, and had taken to the Kurusu residence like a fish to water.

The day after Zombina had handed the girl one of her teeth, she had come back to visit her still hospitalized boyfriend. There she found a very peppy Yuuhi sitting on Kimihito's stomach waiting for her. Kimihito had been very confused when the girl had shown up in his room and started calling him papa, but he had rolled with it as he was prone to doing; figuring someone would give him an explanation eventually.

When Zombina had checked Yuuhi for a pulse, or any other sign of life, she hadn't found it and she had confirmation of the choice the girl made. Explaining it to Kimihito had been easier than she thought it was going to be, he had no hard feelings about her making the offer to the young girl without telling him. Indeed he had given Zombina a rather tight hug and told her he had thought she made the right choice.

Later that day when she was explaining it to Ms. Smith, it was a fair bit less easy. Still in the end Smith had decided to just give her a for show punishment more than anything with a two day 'house arrest' at Kimihito's. She had then proceeded to help push through the adoption papers for Yuuhi and a month later the young zombie moved in with them.

Her memories were interrupted when Smith came into the ready room. "Okay, we're all good to go. You ready Zombina?"

Zombina swallowed down all her worries and nodded. "Yeah, let's go! I don't want to leave Kimi standing there for too long do I?"

Heading out of the room, Zombina would remember that for all her worries, this day would go off without a hitch, and would just be the start of her long, long life together with her new husband.

A/N 2: Well I have said before that I was planning to do 3 chapters for Zombina's arc, two main ones and one short epilogue. When I finished this I felt that the epilogue would potentially hinder the story more then it would help. What do you all think? Regardless of whether I decide to do an epilogue or not, expect a short chapter to show up here sometime between the 25th and 27th of April. This will either be the epilogue, or it will be a mini prelude/trailer for the next arc. Either way when that chapter goes up I will be closing the current poll so get your votes in before then!

At the moment of this A/N being written, Rachnera has taken the lead with 27% of the vote and Mero and Papi's Mom are tied for second at 13% each. Then a number of girls at 9% and then the remaining. If you want your girl to win get voting now while there is still time! The gap in votes is still short (5 at its worst) so every vote can and will count! Also the girls that end up coming in second and third (or if there is a tie for second, 2 of the girls in the tie) will be carried over to the poll for arc 3. Everyone else will be randomized.
