Alright are you guys ready for Chapter 3?!
So I recently did a poll to see if I should pair ReixTakashi, or SaekoxTakshi, since I am a fan of Saeko I did this so there was no bias; the answer will be revealed in due time ;). I promise that this story is going to get a lot more interesting. (I hope)
I am sorry this took so long to get up I have had a lot of obstacles and family problems. I plan to continue these though so do not fret. Now that it is summer, I will write more often.
I appreciate all the feedback I get so please leave a review, I read them all. Enjoy the story.
I do not own Highschool of the Dead, or its characters, but I do own any new characters that arrive in the story.
"Alright guys listen up, we need to go on a supply run as long as we want to stay here for a while longer. I am going to take Rei, Saeko, and Shizuka. Alice I want you to stay here with Saya and Kohta, okay?"
The room grew serious as their young leader directed them. No one wanted to interrupt him, as they were paying careful attention to his plan. As Takashi finished going over the details the nurse stood dumbfounded on what her role in the mission would be. "Wait, we aren't going to a clinic so how am I of use?"
As Takashi thought about it he didn't really know why he wanted her to come with, she was right after all, the only useful thing she could do on this mission would be to carry any extra items. As he thought about what he could use her for he kept finding more and more reasons why it wouldn't benefit anyone to take her with. He gave it one more thought and decided it would be best to leave her here, instead of giving her the chance to die.
Waving away the gory images that popped up into his head, he assured the woman that she would not be needed in this mission. She let out along sigh, confirming that she was not ready to go back out into the madness they now called their world. The time they had spent in the house was relaxation they needed. They had learned how to live in this world, how to get through it. They would run on 8 hours of sleep for 3 days, eating crackers when they got hungry. They all were stressed dealing with the new world that had come out and bit them in the ass. None of them knew how Takashi felt, he was their "leader". He controlled their lives and how they would live. He made the decisions that either put them in danger or brought them to safety.
Takashi was only a teenager, no teen is ready to handle others lives if they can barely handle their own. Takashi thought about his role in the group and how the others all played their part. They were lucky, no not lucky, they were blessed. Everyone in the group was essential asset, if they were missing one person they would've never made it. Saeko and Rei protected the group from the ground, Hirano was the sharpshooter able to protect the group from afar. Saya was the brains and she gave us a safe haven with her parents for a while. Shizuka has been a great help to the group, she gave us a place to stay and clean up in the beginning. She also got us weapons to protect ourselves and the Humvee for transportation. Alice, well she was the innocence of the group, she kept them all sane and reminded them that they were all still human and different from Them.
"What time do you want to leave?" Rei interrupted him, she had noticed he was in deep thought. There was a contorted look on his face of pure anguish, she couldn't look at it anymore so she tried to take his mind off of it.
"Well I was thinking we should leave around 12 o'clock pm. It gives us time to get ready and collect our thoughts before we leave." He smiled at her as he turned to leave.
"Hey..."
He stopped in his tracks, slowly turning around looking at the vulnerable girl before him, "Yeah, what is it?"
"Well, I wa... I was wondering if you could help me out with something?" She stuttered unsure of how to say what she wanted.
"Of course, what do you need?" He didn't hesitant to help her, she was his best friend after all.
"Um, well...just follow me, okay?" This was all she could manage to put together with the mess that was going on in her mind.
He simply nodded, where in the hell is she going to take me? I wonder if she is still mad about what I said before?
As he followed her he noticed exactly where they were going. Takashi's heart began beating a million times a minute, he was breathing heavily. He was staring at the friend of his in disbelief. Why would she take him to her room? They had reached the door, by now Takashi had calmed down and stopped imagining things that could happen. She slowly grabbed the knob and twisted it opening the door, Rei walked into the room and sat on her bed.
Takashi walked in after her closing the door, "Okay, so what is it you need help with?"
Blushing the girl looked down at her lap, searching for the words she wanted to say. "It's... um.. right here."
He looked around searching for what she was talking about, "Could you point it out to me?" He scratched the back of his head confused.
She got off the bed and walked towards him, only inches away from him she looked up. He noticed she was blushing and that she was closer than normal. "Here let me show you."
She stood on her toes and put her lips gently on his. Takashi was shocked, he was not expecting this to happen at all. He knew he should stop but he didn't want to, it felt so good to feel something. Just as Rei started to pull away afraid that she had done something she shouldn't have, Takashi kissed back with fervor.
He put his arms around her waist and pulled her closer, Rei then put her arms around his neck, running one hand through his hair. She was so happy he returned her feelings, this is what she had wanted from him all along, she never wanted anything else than to be with him. Takashi just liked the feeling of being close to someone, he loved the soft feel of her lips against his rough ones. He slid his tongue against her bottom lip asking for entry; which she happily granted. He explored her mouth with his tongue, she was massaging his with hers.
She pulled back to regain her breath when he began planting kisses and sucking on her neck earning a satisfactory moan. They were both breathing heavily when Takashi pushed Rei down onto the bed. He held himself above her on his elbows and sucked on her collarbone. She gave out a low moan and put her fingers in his hair pulling him up and thrusting her tongue into his mouth. This time she had the dominance and was massaging every part of his mouth.
She let him go and rolled on top of him she ran grazed her hands up his shirt feeling the outline of his muscles, she gasped but then again the apocalypse was getting everyone into shape.
She slid his shirt off of him and kissed down his abdomen licking and kissing him, giving him the same treatment she had received earlier. He grunted as she moved down to his belt, as she went to unbuckle his belt he pulled her up to kiss her and get back on top of her. He slowly slid off her shirt allowing his eyes to run up and down her toned abdomen and her well endowed chest, he stopped his gaze on her breasts. He was so caught up in the moment he didn't notice there was something wrong about what they were doing, they had to stop now.
"Is something wrong?" The girl asked self-conscious.
"No, we just shouldn't be doing this we need to get ready to go." Takashi said as he grabbed his shirt and stormed out of her room. He ran into Shizuka whilst running to his room shirt in hand.
Shizuka walked into the room noticing the half-naked girl crying into her palms, she didn't know what happened but she planned to find out later, now she would comfort the girl as much as she needed.
How could I let that happen! I was so stupid and so caught up in the moment, especially how could I do that to Saeko! I am such a baka! How the hell am I going to get out of this one? Takashi thought as he got ready for the mission ahead of them. He wasn't sure if everything would now go as planned due to Rei's emotional state.
They all met downstairs at the planned time and discussed the plan once more, they made sure they didn't have anything that wasn't needed and that they had enough room to carry their needed supplies. Before they left the house they said their goodbyes. As they exited their safe home a rude awakening awaited them. There weren't any of them around the house but there were a few around the houses they needed to enter.
As they left the old iron gate of the house they went into their usual formation, Saeko the strong and silent one in the front with the two others behind her on both of her sides. They took down the ones that were in the house to their left. It was an old house, very much similar to the one they were staying in but there were subtle differences; this one was smaller and was less modern. The two houses however seemed identical, in color and the style of the house among other things. Saeko took down the last one that was in their way and went to open the door; to her surprise it was locked. This was surprising because most of the houses were left in haste so no one actually thought to lock the door. It was most likely the last thing on their mind.
Rei closed the gate after everyone got into the front yard, Takashi had noticed Saeko's dilemma and thought about how hard it would be to get her up into the second floor window. He was probably strong enough to lift her to it but if she could get up there would she be able to get in and let them in, there could be some loose one in the house without any of them knowing it. He decided that it was their only option, it was risky, but for the great Saeko Busujima, this was a piece of cake.
He signed for Rei and Saeko to come close to him so he didn't make too much noise. He was nervous about putting Saeko in danger but cast it away knowing that she could manage her own in a fight even if you took one of her limbs. "There is a window on the second floor, I think I can lift Saeko up there long enough for her to get in the house. Once inside you can carefully make your way down to the door and let us in, from there we can gather food and other supplies needed and move on." He looked back and forth between the two gorgeous girls in front of him. There was an aura he was picking up from Rei, he couldn't tell if it was anger or longing. Whatever it was it was distracting her to where she had zoned out completely. Saeko seemed to love the plan and was almost glowing.
Saeko took a step closer to Takashi and put her hand in his, she was excited, hoping to find some of Them in the house she could already feel the rush. Rei had noticed their hands and scowled at Saeko. A dark hatred rose in Rei's chest, it wasn't that she hated Takashi, or Saeko for that matter, she just hated it that she wasn't the one for him. "Ready whenever you are Komuro." Saeko said seductively, a smirk painted on her face.
"Here step on my hand and I'll hoist you up, Rei can you get her other foot?" The two looked at Rei, Saeko was unsure of what happened between them but she could easily sense the tension. Reluctantly Rei walked over and held her hands out for the girl. Saeko set her foot into Takashi's hands first then slowly set her other foot into Rei's hands.
Saeko looked down to him and nodded, in a whisper he gave Rei directions, "On three... one, two, three!" It took all of Rei's strength to push the girl up to the window and support her there so she could climb inside. Takashi looked over at the redhead and noticed her having trouble supporting her side, he hoped Saeko could hurry up and get in; at this rate Rei would drop her. To his relief Saeko had opened the window and crawled inside.
"She is a lot heavier than I thought she would be," Rei said while rubbing her arms she looked over at Takashi, "how'd you hold up?"
Takashi looked at her and smiled, "Not too bad, she was quick thankfully, let's go to the door she is probably waiting for us there."
"Yeah, okay"
They walked over to the front door and waited for it to open, after waiting for only a moment the door creaked open. Saeko had more blood on her than before so it was evident that she had taken down at least two of Them inside. Even with Takashi fearing she might have been hurt she was beaming, he could tell she had enjoyed the bloodshed. There was something about it but it just seemed right for her to look like that, it suited her. He even thought for a minute it made her look incredibly sexy. Rei looked her up and down also noticing the blood but she wasn't nearly as afraid as Takashi; she knew Saeko could handle her own in a fight.
"How many were there?" Takashi asked once they were all in the house safely.
"There were only three of them, don't worry they were taken care of" Her euphoria had worn off and she now used her cold and icy tone, as she answered she stared at him with her clear blue eyes. He had fallen in love with those eyes; they were so irresistible and such a deep shade that they drew him in.
"What should we start to collect first?" Rei spoke up breaking the intimate silence.
"First, I you want to collect the food, I'm going to look around and see if I can find any tools or weapons we can use, Saeko could you help Rei with food?" He had made the orders with ease, there was almost no thought to them.
"Hai" The girls said in unison; they followed their instructions without hesitation.
Takashi walked past the living room and kitchen, which he noticed was very modern and seemed to be bright and colorful. He was looking for the door to the garage, he had figured that most people would put their tools in the garage. He looked for three minutes before finding it, he opened the door cautiously stepping into the petite garage. The car was gone but nothing else was disturbed, he looked through the items on the shelf. Nothing peaked his interest so he trudged back to the girls, when he entered the kitchen he had to cover his nose to prevent blood from spraying out.
Saeko was on a ladder grabbing food from the top shelves, due to her skirt everything was exposed from behind; her skirt was a decent length but from where she was reaching she had to be higher than she would've liked on the ladder. She heard him come in and before she could react he had already had an eyeful, Rei was beating him senseless when Saeko returned to the ground.
As Rei was beating Takashi Saeko packed all the bags and got ready to leave. She stood in front of Takashi and Rei, stifling a laugh she watched as Rei continued to smack Takashi calling him a pervert. Once the commotion ended they conversed what they had retrieved. There was much more food in the house than presumed so they could go back after this house, all of them were hungry so they dipped into their food supply before returning "home".
Saeko had made lunch for them all, she had made a delicious bento out of a little of all the things she could mix. Making the meal took about an hour, everyone helped her with certain tasks that didn't require too much skill. After they ate they grabbed their bags ready to head out into the street again so they could return "home".
Before they could make it 4 feet out of the door the house had been surrounded in Them. Takashi closed the door, panic swept across him. What would they do now?
"Alright, They have surrounded us. What do you guys think we should do?" Takashi had asked them for their opinion because he felt they should have a say in this decision.
"We can make a distraction with something around the house, or we could stay here for the day and hope that something draws them away so we could leave tomorrow" Rei tried to make a decision like she had seen Takashi do so many times but as she thought about their options she realized just how hard things like this had to be on him.
"I could be the distraction and draw them away, allowing you two to get back safely then I can work my way back to the house." Saeko said lighting up that she could use her fearsome talent yet again.
"No, we aren't going to risk anyone's life just so one or two of us can get through this; for now we should just wait them out." Takashi sifted through his options, he decided that his first option would have to be the safest one.
Rei was ecstatic that Takashi had chosen one of her options, Saeko seemed to have been saddened that her plan was rejected. Takashi just wanted to do what he thought was best for his family.
"We need to get ready for sleep soon, I want us all to get as much rest as possible, I'll take the first watch. Saeko, second, Rei, third, the watches will be in 3 hour periods."
"Where should we sleep?" Saeko quipped in.
"We can sleep in the living room, we might be able to drag the mattresses from the rooms upstairs and sleep on those. I'll grab some blankets we can use while we sleep, if i can find them. If you two want to take a bath then you can, I'll go in after you." Takashi covered every main point that was mandatory.
Saeko and Rei both agreed they could use a bath, Takashi would set up everything for the night while the girls were washing up. To Takashi, the girls seemed to be too quiet in the bath, it was a weird thought but usually the girls are very loud when bathing.
He shrugged it off and continued to drag the heavy mattresses down the stairs and into the living room. He had gotten all the mattresses down into the living room by the time Rei, and Saeko had gotten out of the bath.
They walked into the room both seemingly glowing after their skin had been restored to its natural beauty, Takashi couldn't help but stare, they were both just too magnificent.
"Wow Takashi, you already finished all your work." Rei beamed at his efficiency.
Takashi noticed and decided that he should take his chance to sound like a badass, "Of course, i mean ive been done for a while now, I cant say that i am surprised."
Saeko noticed what he was trying to do and catered to his ego, "I must say that i am also impressed with your work Takashi," Saeko's voice still carried its cold and icy tone yet it had a soft hint of humor lingering behind it.
Takashi rubbed the back of his head, "Ahaha, yeah. Umm... well i think im going to go relax in the bath now. If something is to happen then I want you two to handle it if possible, but if you cant then i want you to run to me. Okay?" Their firm leader had shown his soft side but only for a moment, because in this world, your soft side meant death.
Takashi walked out of the room and down the hall, he grabbed a towel from the closet next to the bathroom. He walked into the bathroom and stripped down his clothes, he folded them neatly and laid them in the basket before he got in the bath.
He inched into the steaming hot tub, once he was fully submersed he was able to relax. He let his muscles loosen and take in the heat of the water surrounding him. As he sat there he let his mind run through scenarios and how the world would be now if the world hadn't collapsed. Would he still be as unhappy as he was before? Would he still love Rei, or would he have moved on like he has now? He thought of Saeko, all the things he loved about her. He thought about how he would die for her in a heartbeat, he would go through hell and back just to see her smile.
He got out of the bath and walked over to the showers to wash up, letting the water run over his skin for a while to clean the grime stained in it. He got out and dressed in the clothes that he had folded and put in the basket, when he walked out of the bathroom and down the hall he saw a sight that would make any nose bleed... Saeko Busujima wearing only a shirt, with no bra, and her lacy black thong. After Takashi recovered from the sight he walked over to the great warrior and pulled the blanket over her exposed body. He then went over to his bed and sat down, he laid back and looked at the ceiling prepared to take the first watch.
He heard a faint shuffling sound to his right and bolted out of his makeshift bed. As he looked around the room he found nothing to be attacking, as he was about to go looking around the house the noise reoccurred. He looked down at Saeko and saw that she had once again removed her blanket and was now rubbing her eyes in a childlike fashion. The boy felt his heart slow and let out a long sigh, He sat back down on his bed and looked at Saeko in all her glory.
"I'm sorry did I scare you?" Saeko asked still groggy from sleep.
"No, no, no, not really I was just hoping were still safe from Them." Takashi replied in a hushed tone, however he giggled when he looked at Saeko.
"What's so funny?!" She asked getting louder as she got more frustrated.
"Shhh, nothing you just look so adorable now," Takashi chuckled and looked away because he knew that adorable was not exactly the right word he was thinking of.
"Takashi...is there something on your mind?" Saeko asked nonchalantly tilting her head to the side.
He turned around and looked at Saeko, he took a few steps towards her mattress and sat next to her, "I'm just thinking..." Takashi stopped before he let slip how he felt for her.
"Would you like to talk about it?" Saeko asked him hoping she could make him feel better and more relaxed around her.
Takashi's face grew crimson red and he looked at Saeko waving his hands, "NO, NO, NO, no...it's fine, it was nothing serious!"
"Okay, if you dont want to talk about it, it's fine i dont mind," she put her head down thinking that he wasn't comfortable enough to talk to her about things. She felt like a failure because the one and only man that she loved couldn't even share his own thoughts.
He grabbed her chin and lifted her head up to his, she looked into his eyes and saw passion, at that moment he fell into her beautiful blue eyes and brought his mouth to hers. In shock she gasped, her eyes were wide open, she felt something that she had never felt before and she let it draw her in.
She began to get into the flow of things and put her hands around his neck as Takashi wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. Their tongues battled for dominance while they explored each others mouths. Takashi groaned as Saeko twisted his hair in between her fingers and pulled it, in return he pulled her closer feeling her breasts against him through her shirt. Takashi ran his hands up and down Saeko's spine making her moan into Takashi's mouth. She broke the kiss and was quietly panting while Takashi licked and sucked on her neck, as Takashi sucked on Saeko's neck he could feel her trembling underneath him.
To Takashi's dismay Saeko stopped him from going any further. She pulled herself away from him to create a distance. Of course she didn't want to stop but there was nothing else that she could do to send the message. "I'm sorry but we can't do this here, not now either. Plus... she's right there." Saeko explained to him her reasons for ending their playtime.
He then kissed her on her forehead and laid down to let her begin her watch for the night. She went and sat at her post for the time being and thought about what had just transpired between her and the one she loved. She swore she could feel the warmth of his hands all over her body.
Saeko leaned back and just listened to the sounds of the night letting the memory of just a few minutes ago run through her mind.
