Male: Tallahassee

Series: Zombieland (Movie)

In all honesty he had annoyed the hell out of her when they had first met; he had called her 'Sweet Cheeks' after all. Yet as Columbus had said he did grow on her. The cocky ass. Pink lips pulled into a rueful smile as she watched him go to town on the herd of zombies they had come across.

She herself, and the other members of their small make shift family, sat in the hummer and watched him show off. Honestly he approached zombie killing like it was a fun past time. She shook her head and slid out of the front passenger seat and sat on the open window. With a chuckle she leaned her chin on her arms which were crossed on the top of the hummer's roof top.

With a roll of her eyes she watched him smash in the head of a zombie with a sludge hammer. "Can you hurry it up?" She laughed as he pouted at her and adjusted his almost signature cowboy hat with one hand and shot the last zombie in the face with a shotgun without even looking.

Such a show off. But secretly she had to admit he was damn good at what he did and looked even better doing it.

She rolled her eyes as he strutted up to her and leaned on the side of the car next to her. She felt semi self conscious in her white t-shirt under one of his old flannel ones and a pair of dark blue skinny jeans. On her tiny feet were a pair of dark brown leather boots, which were great for running. Her hair was pulled into a high pony tail to keep it out of her sky blue eyes. They hadn't actually had time to set up shop in a place that had running water for a few weeks.

The last time they had she and Little Rock had almost been made a snack while in the showers. Thank God she always kept her bow and arrows nearby, screw Tallahassee and his 'gun power'. It wasn't she looked down on his methods it was just that she didn't like guns in general.

"What's got your panties in a bunch sweet cheeks?" She glared at him as Wichita and Little Rock winced, both of them knowing how much she hated to be called sweet cheeks, and as fellow women it irked them. She had been the only one to give out her real name and she expected them to use it!

With another roll of her blue eyes she slid back into the passenger seat and gave him a blank look, letting him know she was not amused. With a huff she deiced to fill him in for his thick skull was not letting him get the hint. "We're tired and I want a bath." She stared at him, almost seeing the wheels in his head turn and she resisted the urge to smile as he let out a low whistle and rounded the other side to the driver's seat.

He opened it and sat down heavily in it, setting his shot gun down between them. He gave her knee a squeeze and winked at the others in the back. "One fancy hotel room on the double." She smiled as he revved the engine of their hummer and drove them towards town, she had no doubts he would find them a nice secure place to bunker down for the night, she just hoped they had warm running water.

As excepted he delivered, and honestly she had no doubt he wouldn't, and with a low happy sigh she just stood under the warm water and let it caress her skin. She would be soaking in the bath later, she was the second to last to bathe, but her Japanese roots held strong. She would wash her body and hair before relaxing in the nice hot water.

She frowned lightly at that thought, her hands going through the motions of washing herself, she missed her homeland of Japan and the family she had left there to study abroad in America. She was in her final year of medical school, at the age of twenty five, when it happened. She had woken up one day to find the world had gone to hell and would never be the same.

It had become a zombieland as Columbus had dubbed it.

She often wondered what had happened to her family, fairly quickly after the break out communications had gone down, the last thing she had heard from her mother was that they were holed up in the shrine and that they loved her and wanted her to be safe. The line had gone dead…

She sighed as she ran over her thoughts, pulling the plug to change it form shower spray to the usual function of the faucet. She started to fill the tub as she piled her hair into a bun atop her head and secured it with a black hair tie. She stood there her face downcast and her eyes dull. "I wonder if they're still alive…" Her words were whispered and betrayed what she was feeling inside despite the strong mask she put on when around the others.

She yelped as a pair of arms wrapped around her waist and she was pulled into a well muscled chest. She struggled for a few seconds yet clamed when she realized who it was and with a dark scowl she elbowed him hard, making him grunt in pain, and turned around to glare at him.

"You jerk! You sacred me!" She huffed, ignoring the fact that he was naked as the day he was born. He merely stared at her and without a word pulled her into his arms again and pressed a kiss to her forehead. Instantly she knew he must have been there for a while and had heard her words. It was an unspoken rule to not bring up the past or family or friends oranything of that nature. It brought with it to many dark thoughts and hurt feelings.

"Kagome." She felt her eyes burn at the way he said her name and clung to him sniffling in a vain attempt to stop her tears form flowing. She bit her lip and tried to take deep breaths but it failed and the damn broke. She sobbed into his chest as he rubbed her back and pressed even more kisses to her forehead and her face.

She knew it was selfish of her to cry over this, he himself had once told him he had lost his son to the hordes of zombies on hat first day. So she knew she had to have brought those memories to the surface with her ponderings. She felt horrid, she took a few breaths trying to calm her herself so she could speak.

"I-I'm sorry." Her voice was thick with emotion and he merely murmured to her that it was okay and held her tighter. She wasn't sure how long they stood like that, naked and merely holding each other, yet she soon calmed down and wiped her tears on the back of her hands and looked up at him to give him a brilliant smile. She leaned on the tips of her toes and pressed a chaste kiss to his cheek making him blush.

"Thanks." He merely grunted and she smiled as he turned form her to hide his rising blush to shut off the water. With a groan he sat in the large tub, they were in the presidential suit and the tub was huge, and gave her a cocky grin. "You gunna join me sweet cheeks?" She rolled her eyes but joined him in the large tub. With a contentsigh and a happily smile she leaned back against his large chest and played with his large calloused hands.

It was nice to be able to just relax and she hummed lightly as she leaned her head back to rest on his shoulder so she could look up at him, he did tower over her by a full head, and gave him a knowing smile. He blushed yet gave her a kiss on her cheek. "Shut it." She merely nuzzled his neck and placed his hands on her stomach to play with them as she leaned back against him even more.

As much as he tired to hide it he was a big softie underneath his gruff exterior. With a light giggle she met his confused brown eyes and gave him yet another peck on the lips. "I love you." She laughed as he blushed, still not used to the L word. He rubbed the back of his head and grumbled under his breath. "What was that I couldn't hear you?" She smiled as he scowled and held her closer.

"I said I love you to damnit." She laughed loudly and turned in his arms to give him a kiss and pulled back to gaze into his eyes a mischievous glint in them. "I know, I just like to hear you say it." She silenced his retort by capturing his lips once more in a kiss.
