Do you remember?

Takashi POV:

I was suddenly woken up by a crashing sound. Right after I heard it, I was fully alert and jumped up onto my feet. I started to sprint while gripping the bat tighter with my hand. It felt so normal and so easy to hold it and be ready to strike while running, but I haven't actually done anything like that yet, and I am going to need to improve my physical strength quickly. I was closing the distance quickly, but I knew that I was gonna be too late to save more than one of the three.

"RUN, GET AWAY FROM HIM!" I yelled as I sprinted. One of the teachers looked up at me, surprised, but ignored me. I hope it's because she didn't hear me clearly. I was about halfway there when I saw the zombified gym teacher start to move. The others looked relieved at that, until he rolled and bit the third teachers leg. The last teacher, the female, screamed as she saw that happen. I mentally winced at the effects it would cause. The the teacher that was first bitten turned around and looked at the female teacher.

It was going to be close on whether or not she died, but as he lunged, I realized I'd be too late. I changed the angle of my bat so I could throw it. I used all the strength my arms could muster to throw it as hard as I could at "it's" head. I realized my arms were a lot weaker than they were before, as my throw would still kill, but she was bitten anyway. Tears welled up at the corner of my eyes. I hadn't been able to save even one of them.

She screamed as the teeth punctured her skin and bit deep into her flesh. I was still able to hit my mark, and one of them fell to the ground, dead, or dead again. I sprinted forward and grabbed the bat as it was bouncing on the ground, about to settle down. Now I was glad for the couple of lessons I had gotten in close-quarters fighting from Saeko. From where I was located from having to grab the bat, I wasn't in a easy place to just swing at the second teacher, who was just now standing. I did a quick side-step, throwing my weight to the right as I spun on the heels of my feet. When I was in front of the teacher, I lashed out with the bat. There was a sicking crunch as the blow crushed "it's" skull. I looked out the gate and swore. There were seven of them pushing against the iron bars of the gate. There were more coming from the streets behind them. It was obvious that the school was going to fall once more.

I turned on my heels and just started to dead-out sprint back towards the school. As I was running, I didn't see someone with purple hair watching from my spot on stairs. As I was running I heard a loud crash as the gate came down. I swore and started to push myself even harder. I didn't notice the person go inside. As soon as I got to the door, I threw it open and started sprinting, taking the stairs five at a time. I quickly found Rei and Hisashi's class, and busted into it quickly. I was out of breath and must have made quite a scene as I ran over to Rei and Hisashi, telling them to follow me. Rei instantly stood up and refused.

I said, "We don't really have time for this, there was someone at the gates and now the gym teachers killed each other!" I started to walk and after a couple steps, I heard them start following me.

Hisashi came up beside me and stated, "At least tell us what this is about, dude."

I looked at him, then replied, "There are zombies, dude. I mean zombies from the movies."

Rei stared at me with disbelief and laughed.

I ran towards the cabinet. Hisashi followed me. Rei did, too, but probably only because of Hisashi. I got there and broke it open again. I broke the broom and gave it to Rei. Then I grabbed a small blade for Hisashi. After I handed him the blade, I took off running again. I never looked really where I was going, but I knew that I was heading to the roof.

I zoned out while we sprinted by accident. I was snapped out of my thoughts by a scream from Rei. Instantly, I realized where we were. Rei had her make-shift spear thrust through one of "their" hearts, but it still kept trying to kill her.. Hisashi went to help her, but I sprang forward myself and slammed the bat into "it's" head. I felt "it's" skull crunch under the blow, and it stopped moving, falling to the ground. Rei ran up to Hisashi and hugged him. I could see the tears coating her eyes.

I looked at them before saying, "Come on, let's go."

I heard one of them ask, "Go where?" I looked and was about to say we needed to go to the roof, when I realized that it would be better to be closer to the carpentry room.

I said, "Let's go to the carpentry room."

They nodded and fell silent, both still in shock. We started slowly walking towards the carpentry shop. When we were almost there, there was an ear-splitting scream. I started sprinting, happy that the group was going to be back together. I got to the door at the same time a purple-haired girl and the school nurse did.

Saeko said, "I'll take the ones on the left." She then sprang forward, starting her deadly dance with her bokken. I wasn't far behind, going to the right. I slipped under the arm of the first one as "it" lunged at me, before spinning and striking "it" hard on the skull. "It" fell hard to the ground. I used the momentum of the first blow to carry the bat forward and smack the second one that got close, sending "it" flying into the wall, half of "it's" head gone. There was one more left in the room, in the middle. I lunged at "it" and took a powerful horizontal slash at "it's" head. It went flying into the wall with so much force that "it's" head split open. I knew that I hadn't hit "it" hard enough to have that much force.

I looked left and saw the purple haired girl, Saeko. I smiled, which seemed to surprise her.

I then said, "I'mTakashi Korumo." Then, under my breath, I added, "But I hope you already know that." I didn't think that she had heard me mutter that, but I was proven wrong.

Right after I had said that, she added quietly, "You remember?"
