Me: Hey guys! Sorry for the late update! I've been lazy and school's coming up, so updates will be much slower…*head desk* flame me if you want, I deserve it Dx I changed the rating to M because…well…yeah…
As the group slept, Zombies continued to take over the bridge. Gun shots could be heard everywhere, and people were jumping from car to car trying to get away. Neru sat on the stairs, yawning, when she heard a gun shut out the window. A boy, who was still living, shot at a Zombie with his gun and giggled a bit psychotically before running down the street. Tei looked through the fridge with a smile plastered on her face, pulling out a cucumber and nibbling on it.
Miku and Haku were sleeping the basement. Mikuo burst through the door to the porch where Kaito was.
"Kai-" He started to say, but Kaito wasn't paying attention.
"Bad news, man." He said, as hundreds of Zombies were walking towards the house, thanks to the stupid dog.
Their hunger…it never ended…they never ended…
Mikuo gripped his bat until his knuckles were white. The boy shot his gun again, and Tei, who was making sushi, heard the gunshot and turned her head to see what was going on. The boy, with trembling fingers, put two more bullets into his rifle, but dropped one. His eyes widened as he leaned down to grab it, and when he got up, he realized he had taken too long to grab it, for he was now surrounded by Zombies. He screamed in agony as the horde of Zombies ate him alive.
Tei ran outside, grabbing the binoculars and realizing how many Zombies were there.
"It's worse. It's getting much worse." She said, taking the binoculars away from her eyes.
"Damn it! That's it, I can't stand it!" Mikuo yelled, walking angrily inside.
"Mikuo!" Kaito called out to him.
"Yeah? What?" Mikuo asked angrily.
"You shoot them, then what?" Kaito asked.
"Isn't it obvious? I'll shoot them, and prote-"
"What happened? Did you forget? They react to sound, Mikuo." Tei said, giving him a short glare before heading inside, and Kaito immediately got a nosebleed seeing that she was wearing a thong.
Mikuo followed Tei inside as she turned the lights off.
"And as for the living, they just swarm around like bugs, looking for a way out. And for the light. We need to stay in the dark. We're not capable of saving all of the alive ones out there. Here." Tei said, handing Mikuo the binoculars.
"Take a good look out there, and you might need to get used to it. I'm afraid just being manly isn't good enough to survive anymore." Tei said as Mikuo took the binoculars, and without another word, she started walking down the hallway.
"I thought that out of any of us, you'd look at things a little differently." Mikuo said.
Tei stopped, and remained silent for a while before turning to face Mikuo.
"Don't misunderstand me. I'm not being cruel. I'm sorry, Mikuo, but this is just the way things are, now. I'm not saying that I like that." She said, and smirked before turning and walking down the hall once again.
Mikuo sighed and walked outside, sitting next to Kaito who was holding his nose.
"Try to keep it down while you check out there, will ya?" Kaito asked, sounding a bit stupid since his fingers were pinching his nose.
Mikuo smiled a bit, taking the binoculars and scanning the area. A man was getting eaten near a snack machine, another man was pounding on someone's door with Zombies surrounding him, about to eat him, and he turned around, swatting one of them away but another one grabbed him and pulled him to the ground as their feast began.
"It's all gone to Hell…" Mikuo mumbled, and then saw a little girl wearing a school outfit and black hair in short pigtails being led by an older boy, who seemed to be her big brother.
The boy was carrying a wrench as he led his little sister through the neighborhood. He had short black hair and he had hazel eyes. He looked to see a house with it's lights on, and he needed to get his little sister to safety.
"Rei, where's Mommy?" The little girl whispered to her older brother.
The boy closed the gate and kneeled down to the little girl.
"We'll meet up with Mommy later. Come on, this way." Rei said, forcing a smile as he ran to the front door, his little sister at his heels.
Rei started to pound on the door with his fist.
"Please let us in! I have a little sister, and there's no way to evacuate! Please! Let us in!" Rei begged.
He paused a moment, putting his ear against the door to see if he could hear footsteps, but heard nothing. He made an irritated look and banged on the door harder.
"Let us in! We need help!" Rei yelled.
Then, he heard someone.
"Go away! We don't want you here! Find somewhere else!" The voice begged from behind the door.
"Please! I don't care about me! But my little sister, let her in!" Rei begged, but the people just turned off the lights.
Rei stood there, outraged, shaking with anger.
"Rei?" The little girl asked, hugging him.
Rei raised his wrench at the door.
"OPEN THE DOOR! IF YOU DON'T, I SWEAR TO GOD I'LL BREAK IT DOWN!" Rei yelled.
"Rei…?" The little girl said worriedly.
"DO IT! GOD DAMN IT!" Rei yelled.
"Don't! Wait! I'll open it right now!" The person at the door said.
Rei put down the wrench, and sighed with relief. The door opened, and light washed over the two children.
"Oh, thank god! Thank y-" Rei was interrupted when he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
His eyes widened and he slowly looked down to see that the person had stabbed him. Rei looked in horror at the man who stabbed him, and he was shaking with fear, his wife holding onto his arm, another woman behind him on her knees praying. Another boy was holding a bat, glaring at Rei, another woman was standing there with her hand over her mouth, and another older man was in the back, staring with an emotionless expression.
"I'm sorry!" The man said, pulling the knife out of Rei.
The little girl stood there, staring at her brother who was just stabbed. Rei started to stumble backwards, dropping the wrench as the people closed the door, not noticing the little girl. Rei kept stumbling backwards and bumped against the wall, his foot accidentally opening the gate. By now, there was blood coming out of his mouth as he lay there against the wall.
"Rei! Rei! Rei?" The little girl yelled, running to her brother.
Rei swallowed down some blood he was about to couch up, and smiled at the girl.
"Rei's ok…I'm alright…" Rei said, patting the girls head.
His arm started to become limp, and the girl grabbed it with tears in her eyes.
"Go and hide…so no one can find you…go and…hide somewhere…" Rei said, and still smiling at his little sister, he fell limp, his eyes staring at her lifelessly.
The girl started to cry harder.
"Rei…? Rei? No…No!" She said, and jumped onto Rei, hugging him.
"I want to be with you, Rei! I wanna be with you forever!" She yelled, crying harder with tears streaming down her face, which got the Zombies attention.
They all turned in the little girls direction, flocking into the open gate and towards the little girl. Mikuo stood there, trying to resist going to save her, but Kaito read his mind.
"ROCK AND ROLL!" Kaito yelled, aiming the gun at a Zombies head and shooting it.
The little girl looked up, stunned, and started to crawl backwards as more Zombies flocked in.
"That's what you ugly dead beats get for trying to go after a little girl like that! You want something to eat? How 'bout you much on some of these! Ready…aim…DINNER TIME!" Kaito yelled, shooting another Zombie in the head.
He kept shooting over and over again, killing any Zombie that went towards the little girl.
"Kaito." Mikuo said.
"What?" Kaito asked.
"I thought you said when you shoot, you didn't wanna make noise, so we wouldn't attract any attention." Mikuo said, smirking.
"BUT IT'S A LITTLE GIRL WE'RE TALKING ABOUT! You go get her, and I'll cover you from up here!" Kaito yelled.
Mikuo started heading down the stairs, passing Neru on his way.
"Be right back." He said as he passed.
"Mikuo?" Neru asked.
"There's a little girl who needs us now." Mikuo said.
"Then I'm coming with you! To help!" Neru said.
"No, stay in the house and be on the lookout. I'll be on the bike, so, I'll be fine." Mikuo said.
"The bike? But you-"
"Let him go. It's a mans decision after all." Tei said.
"I'll be back as soon as I can. Wish me luck." Mikuo said.
"Knock 'em dead, cowboy." Tei said, getting her butcher knife.
"Don't worry about this place or the girls. I'll hold down the fort." Tei said.
"Mikuo…take this at least." Neru said, handing Mikuo the revolver.
"Don't count on the gun too much. If you shoot, it'll be like ringing the dinner bell" Tei said.
"Either way, the bike'll make noise." Mikuo said, getting onto the motorcycle.
"But the bike'll be moving. Make a shot, and they'll be all over you." Tei said.
"You ready?" Neru asked, getting ready to open the garage.
Mikuo nodded, and started up the bike, getting the attention of the Zombies. Neru and Tei nodded at each other, then opened the gate as Mikuo drove past, literally flying out the gate.
"What the hell? What's with all the racket?" Miku asked, waking up from the noise and walking up to them.
"Something good has happened." Neru said.
"Like what?" Miku asked.
"I realized we're still Human beings after all." Neru said, smiling.
"Shut up." Miku said bluntly.
Kaito shot all of the Zombies in Mikuo's way as he swerved past them, and sometimes running them over. Mikuo made a sharp turn when his headlights hit a whole horde of Zombies, and then went into the drive way where the motorcycle tripped up on a dead Zombie, making it flip and Mikuo fall off. Mikuo got up off the ground, rubbing his head.
"Nothing ever goes as planned…does it?" Mikuo asked himself.
He then heard a dog barking. He turned to see two Zombies going towards the little girl. A horde of Zombies was walking towards Mikuo, and all he had was a crowbar. Starting to panic, Mikuo looked at the Zombies heading towards him, and the ones heading towards the girl. Kaito quickly started shooting the Zombies that were heading towards him.
"Nice shot!" Mikuo called out.
"Of course!" Kaito responded.
"Go away! Go away! Mommy! Rei! I just want to go home! Please don't get me! Mommy! Rei! NOOOOOO!" The little girl screamed as the Zombie was about to bite her, but fell to the ground when Mikuo killed it.
"Don't worry about a thing, kid. You're going to be just fine." Mikuo said, smiling at her.
XxXxXxXxXx
"Ms. Yowane, wake up! Hey, Ms. Yowane!" Miku yelled.
Haku lazily got up and yawned.
"Time for breakfast already?" Haku asked.
"Snap out of it!" Miku yelled, sitting on top of Haku and pinching her cheeks.
"Hey! Stop it!" Haku complained.
XxXxXxXxXx
Mikuo ran all over the place, hitting every Zombie in his sight.
"Just back the fuck off!" Mikuo yelled, ramming one Zombie in the head.
"THERE'S ONE BEHIND YOU!" The little girl screamed.
Mikuo turned around as the Zombie grabbed his shoulder, making Mikuo drop the crowbar as he got pulled to the ground. As the Zombie went to bite Mikuo, Mikuo reached into his pocket, grabbing the revolver and stuffing it into the Zombies mouth as he pulled the trigger.
"Thanks a lot, kid. You just saved my ass." Mikuo said, smiling at the girl.
XxXxXxXxXx
"Kaito!" Miku called on the porch.
"Huh? Miku?" Kaito asked, turning around to see Miku in her short-shorts and her teal top, and Haku…um…naked.
"AAAAH! MS. YOWANE!" Kaito screamed, his mouth dropping to the floor as his hands covered his pants and blood poured out his nose.
"I'm getting ready to get out of here, there's no way we can stay here after all of this god damn noise! I'm going to get packed up and get ready to go. Got it?" Miku demanded, putting her hair in her usual pigtails.
"O-OK!" Kaito said, turning away from Miku.
Miku then walked down the stairs to where Neru and Tei were.
"Neru, let Tei handle it and give me a hand." Miku said, and then looked at Haku who was still naked.
Miku sighed.
"How about you look through that backpack, and find some clothes to put on!" Miku yelled at her.
Haku looked down, and gasped.
"No wonder I was feeling cold!" She exclaimed and ran inside.
"Tei, we need to get the car ready." Miku said.
"And now's our chance to get it, while the Zombie horde is after Mikuo." Tei said.
Miku leaned over the railing, looking at all of the Zombies.
"What are we gonna do about that? At that rate, he won't even be able to come back, even with the bike!" Miku said.
"If so, we have no choice but to go get him." Haku said, only wearing her shirt.
Everyone stared at her.
"O-oh, do you guys think that it's a bad idea? I mean, I've got the car keys and everything." Haku said.
"No, sounds like a plan." Tei said, and Neru nodded.
"She's right! Hell of a plan! Let's do it! We rescue Mikuo, and then haul out to the other side of the river. Come on, get ready!" Miku said heroically.
XxXxXxXxXx
Mikuo stood there, after he finally managed to close the gate, which Zombies were now furiously trying to push through.
"Hey, Mr." The little girl said, holding Mikuo's hand.
Mikuo looked at her.
"That boy…that's my brother…" The little girl said sadly.
Mikuo stared at Rei for a minute, before walking to a laundry string, taking a white coat off of it.
"What are you…?" The little girl asked as Mikuo put the coat over her brothers body, just like he had put the towel over Len's smashed head.
Mikuo picked a little flower, showing to the little girl.
"He died trying to protect you. Your brother was a brave boy." Mikuo said.
The little girls eyes filled up with tears as she took the flower, placing it on Rei's body.
"Rei…" The little girl mumbled before grabbing onto Mikuo and crying.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
"We've got tons of stuff…I wonder if it'll all fit…" Haku mumbled, getting everything they needed out of the house.
"What if they all come attack us while we're loading?" Neru asked.
"We'll have to load really quietly like the bandits online." Miku said.
"Let's do it that way, then." Tei said, slowly opening the gate with her butcher knife.
She stood in front of the car, ready to kill any Zombies that came near them. Haku, now with her pants on thankfully, opened the door to the car and hopped into the drivers seat.
"Huh? What is this? The steering wheel is…OH! It's on the wrong side!" Haku exclaimed worriedly.
XxXxXxXxXx
"Hey, honey, you need to be quiet. The noise will only bring more of them." Mikuo said quietly to the crying girl.
"Can we get away from them?" The little girl asked.
"We're gonna try, honey." Mikuo said, patting her head.
"But can't we just go above all of them?" She asked.
Mikuo sighed.
"Wouldn't I just love if I could fly." He said.
He then widened his eyes a bit, looking at the wall that was much above the Zombies, and wide enough to walk on.
XxXxXxXxXx
"We load our stuff, rescue Mikuo and the girl, then get out of here. I don't know…there are too many of them…even for a car like this…wish we had a tank or something…" Kaito mumbled.
Then, some light went into his face, and he fell down trying to swat it away. He looked over the railing, seeing Miku with a flashlight. Oh, she made the light go in his face. He waved to Miku and started heading down to where they were.
"Maybe if Mikuo can get a little closer to us…but how…?" Kaito mumbled, getting his guns and bullets.
He looked up, and smiled to himself, seeing what Mikuo was doing.
"Ha-ha, very nice. Damn, Mikuo's got BALLS!" He said.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
Mikuo walked along the thin wall, only wide enough for one foot to be on at a time. He had the dog in his shirt and he was carrying the little girl on his back. The wall was just tall enough so that the Zombies couldn't get through it, but they could still reach with their hands. Mikuo felt like a bunch of fan girls were trying to grab him at a concert and he was right on the edge of the stage, except the fan girls would want to eat him alive. He kept those thoughts out of his head.
A Zombie reached for him, but he moved faster and the Zombie just missed him. He sighed in relief.
"We're gonna make-AH!" Mikuo shrieked like a girl when the dog started licking under his chin.
"S-stop it! Stop!" Mikuo yelled at the dog.
The little girl reached her hand over, pushing the dogs head down.
"Stop it!" She whispered urgently to the dog.
Mikuo took a minute to get his bearings before continuing.
"Thanks…aren't you scared?" Mikuo asked the girl.
"I am…how about you?" The girl asked.
"No way…I mean a little." Mikuo said, making the girl giggle.
XxXxXxXxXx
"Where's Kaito?" Miku asked.
"I think he's still upstairs." Neru said.
"Jeez! I don't know if he's sharp or slow!" Miku yelled, walking around the corner angrily and bumping into Kaito, who was fully dressed in vests, bullets, guns, and a headband.
Everyone started to stare at him.
"What? What's the matter?" Kaito asked.
"Wow…you look so sexy…" Miku said.
"Really? You really think-wait a minute…" He said, wondering if Miku meant it or not.
"Get in the car!" She yelled impatiently.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
"Uh…wait…what did you just say?" Mikuo asked the little girl, stopping dead.
"I've gotta pee…" The little girl repeated.
"Oh no…can't you hold it?" Mikuo asked.
"Um…no…" The little girl said, moving her hips back and forth, trying to hold it.
"How about you just think of something…think about plain, or, what's your favorite T.V. show? Um, what about-"
"No! I can't! I can't hold it anymore!"
"Ok…then…just…go ahead and pee right there…"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I'm sure…"
Mikuo shifted very uncomfortably as the warm liquid went down his back. Mikuo chuckled nervously with a tear in his eye. Suddenly, a Zombie grabbed his shoe, making both Mikuo and the girl scream as they started to fall. Mikuo moved backwards as quick as he could, regaining his balance and kicking the Zombie in the face.
"Oh shit…I don't know if we're gonna make it…" Mikuo mumbled, realizing that their screams had turned all of the Zombies attention to them.
Suddenly, Mikuo heard a motor, and turned around to see a car, with Kaito leaning over the sunroof with a gun, and Tei above him, her long white hair flying behind her as she gripped her knife.
"Wow, there's so many!" Haku exclaimed.
"It doesn't matter! We can't just turn back now!" Neru said.
"RUN 'EM DOWN!" Miku yelled, pointing forward.
Haku drove like crazy, running over any Zombie in their path. Tei had to grab onto Kaito's scarf to stay on the car.
"Just hold on a little longer." Mikuo said.
Tei jumped off the truck, slicing one Zombies head in half, and stabbing the other one.
"Mikuo! Hurry up!" Neru yelled.
"Easier said than done!" Mikuo yelled back.
"Kaito, buy us some time!" Miku said.
"No problem!" Kaito yelled, shooting one Zombie in the head, making it fall over on top of another Zombie, which fell on top of two others, making a whole horde of them fall down like dominos.
Kaito laughed crazily as he shot another one, making it cartwheel through the air.
"GOTCHA!" Kaito yelled while laughing.
Tei kept slicing through the Zombies, getting her just cleaned butcher knife all bloody again making her sigh. Tei stood there for a minute, finally noticing four Zombies walking towards her. She elbowed one in the neck and then cut off it's head, then cut another ones head in half, and nailed the other two in the neck. Giggling to herself, she started walking back to the truck.
"Mikuo!" Neru yelled.
"Come on, let's go!" Miku yelled.
"Are they friends of yours?" The little girl asked.
"Yeah. Really good friends." Mikuo said.
Tei jumped onto the car, nearly landing on Kaito.
"This is the last chance we get to go on the other side of the river. You in?" Tei asked Mikuo.
"Of course I am!" Mikuo yelled, making a flying leap onto the truck.
Mikuo gently put the little girl down on the truck, where Kaito quickly introduced himself.
"Nice to meet you! I'm Kaito!" He said.
"Hit it!" Miku told Haku.
Haku nodded and started driving like a crazy woman again. Mikuo stumbled, falling onto Tei and Kaito flipped back, making the little girl fall right on his…
"YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!" Kaito yelled.
"I'm sorry…" The little girl mumbled as Kaito chuckled with a very high-pitched voice.
Somehow…we managed to get out of there…but that only meant we survived another day…now…now we had to find a way to cross the river and find our family…
In Memory of:
Rei Kagene
Me: Well, that took longer than expected.
Len: Wait, wait, wait, Rei gets to die without becoming a Zombie, and I DO? WHAT THE HECK?
Rei: Ha-ha! Sucker!
Len: You bastard!
