Author's notes/response: Thank you too all who have reviewed and favored this story, and a special thanks to Otaku-SIG for reminding me of that; I as well think it's been long enough since there was a little heat between the characters, and so, this chapter's gonna have some sexual content, more so than just makin' out. So consider that your warning, and enjoy!
Chapter 12: House Call of the DEAD
Even after only finding the Komatsu less than a hour ago, the group mostly of teenagers had gotten plenty use to the new armored transport to the point that Rei had squeezed up top with Kaede, and the rest sitting on the inside; Saeko and Takashi sitting nice and comfortable together with Saya sitting with as much space as she could afford in the cramped truck and Kouta sitting in the front with Shizuka driving, and Alice sitting on his lap with Zeke on hers.
Up top, Kaede looked over at Rei as the surrounds became increasingly familiar and gave her some short directions; she ducked back into the Komatsu and relayed the directions to Shizuka for Kaede, a little system they had gotten use to during the trip so far.
"Kaede says we're almost there..." Rei said with a smile, leaning over the driver's seat to speak to Shizuka better, since she thought it would be better not to disturb Saeko, who had stated dozing off on Takashi's shoulder. "Just keep heading down this road and turn left three streets down, then right another two down. It should be on that street, he says."
"A right then a left...?" Shizuka muttered, already having trouble remembering the route, and looked back at Rei with a hopeful smile, which turned into a slight frown as Rei shook her head; Rei and Shizuka both then looked over to Kouta.
"Left turn after three blocks, right after two more. Got it" Kouta replied with a serious nod, then smiled. "We won't be getting lost anytime soon, Miyamoto-san. Right, Alice-chan?"
"Yup~!" the girl said, happily raising her hands as Zeke barked as well. "Leave it to us to get to Kae-nii-chan's house!"
Rei smiled at the young girl, not even bothering correcting her that it was his mother's house they were going to and left the navigation to them before moving back through the Komatsu. She rolled her eyes at how peaceful Takashi and Saeko looked together, even with Saeko drooling in her sleep again, and pulled on Kaede's pants leg.
Not giving him much time to register, Rei pulled herself up with him, passing along his back and making him blush as her breasts pressed tightly against his back. Rei sat on the rim of the porthole behind Kaede, taking a look around since she was now back at her original position.
"I told 'em; Kouta and Alice will make sure Shizuka-sensei doesn't get us lost." Rei reported to Kaede, quite comfortable sitting behind him than she was sitting beside him like before; this way, she could even lean against him if she wanted, taking Saeko and Takashi's example of being close. "I swear, that woman's hopeless sometimes, even if she is an adult..."
"Yeah, really..." Kaede muttered with a light chuckle at how unreliable Shizuka could be with even the most basic of things. "She has her good aspects too though, neh?"
"Yeah, I guess," Rei shrugged, leaning against Kaede's back, feeling his body relaxing under her touch without tensing first; Rei was pleased that he seemed to be getting use to the contact between them, her mind drifting on to the possibility of more intimacy between her and Kaede, figuring there was little doubt that Saeko and Takashi's relationship had gotten to that level.
Of course, Takashi and Saeko hadn't gone as far as Rei expected yet, but Rei was basing her assumptions on Saeko's constant giving ins to her carnal urges on the battle field of the dead. Remembering the two down on the inside of the Komatsu, Rei got comfortable against Kaede, watching the road that would lead them to their destination.
With Shizuka's driving, it wasn't too long before were driving down the street where the house was on; Kaede and Rei had gone down into the Komatsu with the others shortly before, and Takashi woke Saeko as they approached the targeted house.
"It's this one right here." Kaede said, leaning over the passenger's side of the Komatsu and pointing out the familiar house where he had lived at for so long before he had moved out on his own, against his will; Kaede tried not to think of his past so much when there were pressing matters in his present, and patted Kouta on his shoulder. "Let's go open the gates..."
The house was a two story building, surrounded with a wall and, unlike the first and only house they had stayed at so far, the garage was inside the surrounding walls with two gates; one leading into the garage and the other, a smaller one to get in and out of the yard. Of course, Kaede meant the larger gate, and Shizuka pulled the Komatsu to a temporary stop.
Kouta was the first one out with the MP5 held tightly to his shoulder as he checked out the surrounding area, which was clear for now; relaying the information with the usual call of 'Clear!', Kaede was soon to follow him out with his WA2000 in his hands and the Baikal still strapped to his back.
While the others waited in the Komatsu, ready to jump out of things got bad outside, Kaede and Kouta rushed over to the gate; with a light testing tug, they found that it wouldn't budge from that side, so they switched to plan B. Kouta kept look out for any of them, outside or inside the gates, while Kaede slung the WA2000 on his back and scaled the gate, falling down onto the other side.
He disappeared from view for a moment when he ducked towards where the wall started, and the motor that would have opened the gate was at; a few minutes passed by before he came back into view, and he, with Kouta's help, manually pulled open the gate for the Komatsu.
Kouta waved to Shizuka after joining Kaede on the other side of the wall; when the Komatsu was inside the walls, Kouta turned, expecting to see Kaede getting ready to help close the gate, but instead saw Kaede rushing towards the house. Looking past Kaede, Kouta could see what he was in a rush over; the front door was standing wide open.
Kouta refrained from following after him and looked over to the Komatsu to see everyone piling out of the truck, Takashi being one of the firsts and had seen Kaede dart off; he nodded lightly to Kouta and motioned to the gate, then waved Rei towards the house before going to assist Kouta in closing the gate, since it didn't look like there were any of them in or around the house. Even so, Takashi had a second though and sent Saeko in as well, knowing she wouldn't hesitate if there were any of the undead in the house, regardless of who they once were.
Rei had quickly caught up with Kaede, who was standing in the kitchen, looking down at something in his hand; with a quick look around, their immediate surroundings seemed fine. No blood, no over turned furniture; everything seemed to be in order.
Her attention was brought to what Kaede was holding in his hand; a piece of paper. Rei approached Kaede, placing a hand on his shoulder as she heard him sigh lightly and tried reading his face; she could tell what was on the paper wasn't horrible news, but it wasn't so great either.
"What does it say, Kaede?" Rei asked in a soft voice.
"My...my brother took her to the Himoura estate..." Kaede replied with a sigh, a huge weight off his shoulders, but the burden was only lightened, not completely removed; Kaede looked over to Rei and smiled at her worried look. "It's alright; she'll be safe there."
"Thanks goodness..." Rei also gave a sigh of relief and hugged Kaede, just as worried for his mother's well being as he was, well, more for Kaede's sake she was, but she was still concerned. "I'm glad you know where your mother is and that she's safe..."
"Yeah...I'm glad...he left a note..." Kaede said, accepting Rei into his arms and hugging her back; with the change in angles it took to hug her, Kaede was now facing the entrance way of the kitchen and saw Saeko, leaning against the wall, which slightly surprised him.
Saeko only gave him a smile and pushed herself off the wall, and left silently, Rei not even having known she was there, and Kaede wouldn't have known any better either if he hadn't moved. Either way, it didn't matter, and Kaede rested his forehead against the top of Rei's, being a few inches taller than her.
"Yours too, Rei...we'll find your parents too..." Kaede said softly, and felt Rei's hold on him tighten; just then, there was a thumping upstairs that made Rei jump slightly, and a small scowl formed on his face before letting Rei go, and reach for his rifle that was laying on the counter.
As for Saeko, after leaving the two to themselves in the kitchen, had joined with the others outside; Kouta and Takashi had finished closing up the gate and sealed it closed by using a fire hose to tie the gate to the other wall, apparently Takashi's handiwork, since he was standing in front of it, scratching the back of his head as he looked at it while Kouta was heading towards the Komatsu again where Saya and Shizuka were unloading a few things from the truck.
"It's not much...we'll have to do something better later on, but it should hold them out for now..." Takashi spoke as Saeko approached, and looked over to the house, then to Saeko. "So? How is it in there?"
"It seems clear, Komuro-kun. It appears Himoura-san's brother came and took their mother somewhere else; their family's estate, it seems." Saeko replied, relaying the information she had overheard while she was in the kitchen, unbeknownst to the other two.
"Really now? Kaede had a brother?" Takashi asked, a bit surprised, before recalling Saeko had mentioned something along the lines of Kaede having a brother, back at the Takagi mansion. "Ah, but that's good, right? He knows that at least his mother's safe..."
Takashi, nor none of the rest of the group other than Rei did not know about Kaede's father already having passed, so the question lingered in Takashi's mind on where he might be, since he had taken the role as leader, and was planning on helping reunite the group with their parents if he could. With that on his mind, Takashi also looked up at the sky, seeing it was starting to get dark out, and made a quick and obvious decision.
"We'll be staying here the night, so bring anything else that would be necessary for that in; I'm gonna go talk with Kaede about a few things." Takashi said, loud enough for the others to hear, making Saya groan since she had already unloaded some items that would be needed immediately, had closed up the Komatsu already; her groan was followed by another, less human one, and they all looked over to the gate to see there were already a few of them starting to crowd the gates, since that was where the last sound for miles was heard, the first of many more to come.
Takashi inwardly groaned and started for the house, followed by Saeko while Saya, Shizuka, and Kouta started unloading a few other things they might need to stay at a house lacking electricity. As Takashi and Saeko crossed the threshold into the house, they were met with both Rei and Kaede, rifles in hands, exiting the kitchen.
As their eyes met, Kaede motioned to Takashi to keep quite, and pointed upwards to the ceiling as another few thuds were heard, and Takashi quickly pressed the Benelli to his shoulder.
"Is it one of them?" Takashi asked in a whisper, only getting a shrug from Kaede as he started for the stairs, heading up first with the WA2000 held firmly, Rei hesitating and letting Saeko and Takashi head up before her and took the rear.
There were four doors on the second floor; Kaede's room when he lived there, his mother's room, a guest bedroom and the bathroom, and Kaede knew each one by heart. The thumping, which was now louder and on their right, was coming from his old room. Kaede lead them up to the door, and looked back momentarily to Takashi; with his nod, Kaede motioned Saeko up in case it was one of them and to prevent any gunshots from having to be fired.
Saeko placed her hand on her Murata sword, signaling she was ready; Kaede reached for the door handle and opened it quickly, throwing open the door and raising his rifle just in case. Saeko had her blade halfway out of it's sheath when a white blur soared past her and right at Takashi; whatever it was, it bound off of Takashi after hitting him, making him fall and his finger slip, shooting up at the ceiling before leaping at Kaede, knocking him down as well, only this time, it didn't jump away.
"Kaede!" Rei cried out, she and Saeko, who had her sword fully drawn now, rushed towards Kaede and the white, dog like figure on top of him; with the dog from earlier still in her mind, Rei almost didn't stop her charge with the bayonet, but Kaede's laughter was able to put a halt to the charge, Saeko having stopped before that when she saw what was going on.
"Y-Yuki! I forgot all about you, girl!" Kaede said, happily, as the Akita Inu licked his face excitedly, her tail wagging furiously at being reunited with her master after so long, and after being locked into a room when his mother had been taken away.
Rei and Saeko stood in slight shock, their hearts still pounding from the surprise the dog had caused them, while Takashi finally started getting up from where he fell.
"I need to keep the safety on more often..." Takashi muttered as he looked up at the hole in the ceiling he had caused in surprise, then looked down at Kaede, who was still pinned to the ground by the dog. "Your dog, huh? Almost gave me a heart attack...anything else in the house we should be weary of, Kaede?"
"Eh, no, I don't think so. Sorry, Takashi..." Kaede replied, pushing the dog off of him; regardless, Yuki continued wagging her tail as her master stood, picking his gun up as he did.
There were fast footsteps up the stairs, and Kouta soon joined them with the MP5, quickly sweeping the area in a full combat-ready position, before noticing the four just standing there, and the dog, which was new to him.
"H-huh? I heard gunfire, didn't I...?" he blinked, looking from Takashi to Rei to Kaede, then back to Takashi, obviously more than a little confused.
"Yeah...um, that was my fault..." Takashi said, scratching the back of his head; Kouta blinked, it slowly dawning on him, and sighed. "I, uh...Kaede's dog surprised me."
As if on cue, Yuki made herself known by going over and sniffing at Kouta and wandered to the others in the hall, getting use to the new people quite easily for an Akita. When she came to Rei, she knelt down and pet Yuki, and they got along quite well.
Having heard all he needed to know, Kouta drifted off downstairs, somewhat disappointed in the lack of action, and at Takashi's clumsiness, giving him the fact that he was still pretty new to using guns, but firing on accident like that was still enough to make the gun otaku grumble to himself.
Takashi watched Kouta retreat for awhile before looking back towards the others; Rei was still petting Yuki, and so was Kaede. When he looked towards Saeko, he found her looking right at him, silently reminding him of a more pressing matter. Takashi swallowed all hesitation and looked mostly at Kaede.
"Since it's going to be dark in a few hours, we're staying the night here." Takashi said in the most leaderly way he could muster, asserting himself and waiting for any backlash he may get from Kaede for ordering the group they would be staying in what was essentially his house; whatever Takashi was expecting, it wasn't what he got.
"Alright, fine by me; there's a balcony in the guest bedroom, so I'll suggest we take turns on look out while the others sleep. The girls can use my mom's room and the guest bedroom..." Kaede said, not even looking at Takashi as he spoke and pointed out the designated rooms as he mentioned them. "...you and Kouta can take turns resting in my room; I'll sleep on the couch."
"Ah, that's not necessary" Rei said, looking up suddenly. "Can't you squeeze in somewhere with someone?"
Kaede nor Takashi really caught it, but Saeko heard it clear as if Rei had actually spoken the words: Can't you squeeze in bed with me?
Kaede shook his head after a slight hesitation, wondering if her should really take it that way, and Takashi was almost oblivious to that little message, only noticing something wrong with that she said 'someone,' not with he or Kouta, like would be proper in not mixing the sexes up like they all, as far as teenagers go, had hardwired in their heads.
"N-no, it's fine; my bed's not big enough to hold two, especially two guys, and I don't want to make any other other girls uncomfortable..." Kaede replied with a light, nervous chuckle while trying to keep his mind off what may have been subtle hints to something more in their relationship. "Besides, I don't mind sleeping on the couch...I use to do it all the time."
"If...you're really okay with that" Takashi said with a short nod to Kaede, thanking him for allowing them to stay in the house so quickly; Takashi's mind went to who would make the first watch, and since Kouta was up most of the night before, he figured giving him the first watch would give him time to rest later, and the gate situation also came to mind. "Kaede, come with me; we need to do something at the gate. Rei and Saeko-san...please take a look around in the kitchen for something we can eat."
With the directions given, the four teens with Yuki close on their heels started down the stairs, Rei and Saeko breaking off to the kitchen while Takashi, Kaede and Yuki started for the front door, just as Saya came in with a few duffel bags, Shizuka and Alice in close succession, the nurse bringing a few things in as well; the two were surprised at the new dog that came bounding at them, tail wagging, while Alice was overjoyed.
"W-where did this one come from!" Saya asked with Yuki and Zeke's barking in the background as they got to know each other.
"She's Kaede's" Takashi replied with a light sigh, wanting to get to the more pressing matter outside concerning the gates than sit around and argue with Saya about having another dog around. "She'll be better at detecting them that Zeke is, so we'll be keeping her; Zeke's staying too."
Not sticking around any longer for Saya to respond, Takashi motioned to Kaede to follow him outside; Kouta was already pushing away the corpses drawn by the noise they've already caused with a shovel, and Kaede got the drift of what was wrong once he saw what was holding the gates closed. Not even waiting for Takashi to explain to him, Kaede went over to the Komatsu and started looking around amongst the things that had been in the Komatsu when they found it.
"There should be some chains in the tool shed; go get them" Kaede said to no one in particular as he fished around; since Kouta was busy, Takashi went to go fill the request.
When he came back, he found that Kaede had found whatever it was he was looking for, and was pulling himself onto the wall around the house like had before to get in. Takashi stopped and watched wondering what he was doing; Takashi's question was answered when Kaede pulled the pin from a hand grenade, and threw it down the street before hopping down from the wall.
The resulting explosion almost instantly drew the attention of them at the gates, and the followed after the explosion. Grinning, Kaede stood from where he had landed after jumping from the wall, and walked over to Takashi.
"That'll distract 'em for awhile; we have a few more in the truck, so we can use them from time to time to draw attention away from ourselves..." Kaede said as he walked over to Takashi, dusting himself off. "...though, we gotta be careful not to blow anything important up or cause a fire with them."
"Right..." Takashi replied, a bit dazed over Kaede actually throwing a grenade down the street, something he would never dream about doing; Takashi snapped himself out of it though, shaking his head back and forth before holding up the chains he had found in the tool shed. "I found some locks too; there was a ring of keys, so I just brought the whole thing along."
"Ah, that's fine" Kaede replied with a nod as he took the chains, the lock, and the small ring of keys from Takashi as they were handed to him. "Make sure none of those undead bastards get me while I'm doing this, alright?"
The request was directed at both Takashi and Kouta, and so both of them nodded, Takashi setting his shotgun down against the Komatsu before picking up a shovel like Kouta had. The three of them approached the gate, they that had been banging at it gone while others passed by, paying no mind to the three living just beyond the gate, having no reason to even suspect they were there.
Being careful not to rattle the chains just yet, Kaede undid the makeshift seal of the garden hose holding the gate closed, making sure Kouta and Takashi were ready to defend him if need be before unraveling the chain and started wrapping it as noiselessly as he could; needless to say, he attracted their attention quicker than any of them would have liked.
Takashi and Kouta kept true to their words, keeping the walking corpses at bay while Kaede made quick work of his task, the real time-consumer being finding the right key for the lock; luckily, Takashi and Kouta were able to hold them off long enough for him to find it, loosing a shovel in the process.
"There, that'll hold 'em off..." Kaede sighed as he, Takashi and Kouta backed off from the gate, they trying to reach through at them but to no avail, the chains holding the gates closed against them the other two obviously relieved to be done with that, Takashi setting down the shovel he had, the lost one having been Kouta's.
"Hopefully..." Takashi said with a light sigh, looking towards Kouta after picking up his shotgun again. "In any case, Kouta, mind being look out first, so you can rest for the night? You stayed up most of the night yesterday, right?"
"W-well, yeah..." Kouta admitted before straightening his posture and saluting Takashi. "Understood; I'll go set up now."
With that, Kouta went to the Komatsu to retrieve the DSR-1 before heading towards the house. Takashi watched him go with a light sigh before looking up at the sky, which was quickly getting darker, darker than Takashi had ever seen thanks to the EMP blast knocking out all electricity, meaning most forms of lights. When he looked back down, Kaede was retrieving his own gun from the Komatsu, having left it in there when he searched for the hand grenade, and that the light from the flashlights the ones inside where using were lighting up the windows.
When Kaede started walking toward him with a case in his hands after closing up the Komatsu, Takashi turned and started for the house again, Kaede following close behind him, closing the door behind them, and locking it just in case.
Things had been unbelievably rough for what was left of Shido Koichi's group of loyal students he had saved from the school since their time at the Takagi manor; they had lost most of their numbers, leaving only two students and Shido himself, as well as their transportation, leaving the last three to move on foot, keeping as far ahead of them as they could.
Luck had momentarily shined on them when Sasaki had found a shotgun in the hands of a freshly mutilated corps, but only with limited ammo; at least they had some protection as they tried finding someplace safe, far away from the overrun mansion, and fast. Of course, that hadn't gone too well, as most of the surrounding area still had many of the undead walking towards the mansion, and they had to go pretty far on foot.
The three's patients where running thin, and the only thing keeping any of them, especially Miku, from complaining was the fact that they where nearly always surrounded by them and they had learned pretty quick that the undead were attracted to any sort of noise, something they hadn't had time to learn with all the orgies safely carried out inside the bus, but now, they were out in the open, and barely scraped by without being eaten.
The false loyalty Sasaki had for Shido during those times in the bus was now wearing thin as there was almost nothing Shido could offer him; plenty of times, Sasaki had thought of pointing the shotgun at Shido's back and pulling the trigger, then taking Miku to one of the nearest buildings and fucking her until they were eventually found by the undead, but it conflicted greatly with his want to live, so he refrained.
As for Shido, he was fuming like he had been since the Takagi manor, thinking about nothing but revenge on the students that had ruined his chance at making this hell his personal paradise by turning as many survivors to his side as he could at the manor, having had enough information from his spy that pointed to him being able to do that with his persuasive skills on the weak minded. Shido hardly payed much mind to anything else, being lucky enough not to run into any corpses as he did, and ended up leading the two even further away then they had originally planned.
It was when they where in the middle of the maze of the residential area with none of them around that Miku finally said something.
"Shido-sensei...isn't this far enough?" she asked softly, her voice whiny with reason, but it still was quite annoying.
"Yeah, I guess it is, isn't it!" he snapped back before fixing his glasses, and his composure, seeing how his mood may effect the student's will to obey him. "We'll be stopping shortly, so bear with it just a little longer."
Luckily, that complaint had momentarily pulled Shido out of his foul mood long enough for him to start thinking straightly, honestly a bit surprised they had survived that period where they where moving through zombie-infested areas, and on a suitable house to stay in.
He soon spotted one, and lead the two with him and broke into the house. That was yesterday. They spent the day lounging mostly, Sasaki taking the time to do what he wanted to Miku; she wasn't unwilling, but she wasn't as participative like before, but he didn't mind either way, while Shido continued to mull over his anger at Rei and Kaede, and the whole god-cursed group that had defied him at the very beginning of this new world.
It was near the end of the second day the three where at the house when Sasaki suddenly rushed into the room Shido had claimed as his own, shirtless and obviously had been in the middle of using Miku.
"S-Shido-sensei! There's some military truck pulling into one of the other houses!" he yelled, and Shido was on his feet almost instantly; did his luck really change, giving him the very reason that had caused him so much trouble to take his vengeance on?
The two rushed out onto the balcony, and Sasaki pointed to the house a few over, across the street where there indeed was a military truck sitting in the drive way; having seen what the other survivors had been riding in when they had left the mansion, the truck model burned into his memory, Shido almost lashed out at the teen for alerting him on something like this, until he noticed the figure of Komuro Takashi at the gate, then Takagi Saya's pink hair and Marikawa Shizuka's blond hair, as well as her knockers that could be spotted a mile away.
"It's them!"
As they started settling in for the night at the house, Kaede had brought out several lamps that were kept in case of blackouts that easily lit a whole room on it's own. Only a few where put into use though, Saeko again stressing that light, especially now, would attract other survivors like moths, so there was only one in the kitchen and one in the living room; the one in the kitchen for Saeko and Rei, who were making what they could with what they had for a meal while the one in the living room, which was kept dimmed down, was for Kaede, who was disassembling and closely examining the Baikal revolving shotgun he had picked up from the police station while Takashi watched.
As for the others, Kouta was out on look out on the balcony with the DSR-1 with Saya to keep him company and Shizuka was with Alice in the guest bedroom, along with Zeke and Yuki, who had taken a liking to the young girl, getting ready for bed when the time came.
Takashi watched Kaede disassemble the shotgun carefully but, no matter how many time he watched he or Kouta work with the guns, there was just no way he himself would become that skilled with them, Takashi thought as he watched Kaede look down the cylinder tubes, another though coming to mind.
"Why did you decide to bring that one along anyways, Kaede?" Takashi asked, speaking his mind and breaking the silence that had mostly taken over the whole house.
"Well, I'm planning on doing something to it..." Kaede replied, setting the half assembled gun on the coffee table, placing his hand along the stock of the gun as if separating in from the rest of the grip, as well as placing his other at the barrel, shortening it considerably. "Sawing off some length at both ends would make this a perfect close quarters weapon, since you don't have to worry about the pump with this particular gun, but I'm not sure when I'll be able to do something like that, especially without power tools; maybe I just picked it up cause it's a pretty rare gun..."
"I...see..." Takashi muttered, getting the gist of what Kaede was saying, but not fully understanding why Kaede wanted to shorten the gun's length by cutting off the stock of it; as far as he knew, the stock was an important part of the gun, and shouldn't be removed on a whim.
The two let the conversation drop, and Rei walked over to them with a smile.
"The food's ready; can both of you tell Shizuka-sensei and Alice-chan, and take a plate to Saya-san and Hirano-kun?" she asked, looking to both boys with a light smile to see them both nod, Kaede setting down the half assembled shotgun and standing with Takashi.
They followed Rei back to the kitchen where Saeko had already prepared two plates; she and Rei were able to scrounge up enough canned goods to make a sort of stew for dinner, complete with canned meat chunks; it may not have been the most appetizing meal a few weeks ago, but it was the best that could be done now, and the group was grateful to have it.
As per Rei's instructions, Takashi and Kaede took the plates for with them as they started up the stairs; they dropped them off with Saya and Kouta, who both thanked them for bringing their food up, and then went across the hall to where Alice ans Shizuka where. Luckily, Alice hadn't fallen asleep yet, and the four started back down to the kitchen to eat as well.
After Kaede and Takashi had brought them dinner, Kouta and Saya had taken a short break from scanning the area through the scope of the DSR-1, or the binoculars in Saya's case. They sat on the balcony as they ate, and Kouta was happily rambling on about the MP5 Saya had been recently carrying around.
Saya wasn't much for guns, but she felt it necessary to learn as much as she could about the fire arm suggested to her, and asking the otaku here and now would save face for the genius. Time passed somewhat slowly for the two, since there wasn't much to do, other than listen to Kouta ramble about one of the guns that they were in possession of at the moment, which Saya only put up with the keep the otaku company, since he seemed to really enjoy talking to her when he got started.
And, not like she'd ever admit to it, but she also felt comforted by the otaku's continuous ramblings, and did little to stop them, which got Kouta talking even more; she'd comment on a subject or two, but mostly just listened to him.
Kouta hadn't noticed, but sometime around dark, Rei and Saeko were in the room behind them, but not for long; they both left almost exactly one after the other, leaving the room empty. Saya didn't exactly need to be a genius to figure out where they were going, and looked at Kouta when the door closed after Rei.
The other two had certainly gotten the two better looking of the group, but Saya wasn't envious at all; Kouta had his own traits that made up for his looks, but Saya still didn't consider he and her a couple, like Saeko and Takashi or Rei and Kaede, where who know how far they had gotten; she and Kouta's was still in the early stages, but was strong none the less and though they may not get as far as the other two couples, Saya hardly minded, and neither did Kouta.
In fact, Kouta barely could tell that they could be a couple; sure, things were developing between he and Saya, but he wasn't exactly sure if the genius shared the same like for the other like he did. Not to mention the only physical interaction between them being the brief hug at the mansion, though neither did consider a relationship to be based on physical contact alone.
But Saya decided that tonight, they'd make their first steps down the same road as the others.
Saya examined the area thoroughly through the binoculars, making sure there was nothing around before setting them down on the table, the clanking making Kouta look up at her curiously.
"Get up for a second, Hirano" Saya said, crossing her arms down at the otaku, who was sitting in one of the chairs, positioned facing outwards with the DSR-1 resting on the rails of the balcony.
Kouta knew something was up when Saya used his name instead of the usual insult, but didn't know what; either way, not wanting to piss her off, Kouta did a quick sweep of the area through the scope of the sniper rifle before lowering it and leaning it in the corner before standing at attention.
"Yes, ma'am!" he said sternly, making Saya scoff; it was something her had started doing when it came to light that Saya would be some high ranking intelligence officer if their little group was militarized during one of their little conversations that evening.
"At ease..." Saya's playing along only put Kouta on a higher state of confusion, and he really wanted to know what was going on, but he still relaxed his posture; the fact that she kept playing along, even after that, was a little fun, but still gave Kouta shivers when he would think back on it later on, and not of fear. "It had come to my attention that the other officers of this unit have surpassed us in 'teamwork'...it's our duty to keep up with them to the best of our ability, right, soldier?"
It took a moment for Kouta to answer, stunned that Saya was still using the military context in her speech, and even more so when the meaning of the words fully hit him.
"Y-you mean..?" Kouta asked, not having to hide his shock; with Saeko and Takashi, he could kind of caught on, but Kaede and Rei too?
"Yes, that's right. They've been taking on secret 'missions' without us." now Saya was even starting to startle herself at how well she was playing it off for Kouta's sake, but it looked like it was having more than the desired effect on him. "And so, I propose a training session..."
"O-of course, ma'am! Anything you wish!" Kouta said, his heart beating in his chest; he didn't care what the catch would be, or about anything else now, not even what the training would be.
Only that he would be doing it with Saya.
"Very well then; close your eyes..." Saya ordered, and waited for him to do as he was told before walking to him, feeling his breathing increase when he felt her near him, her breath on his lips now. "...and kiss me..."
Kouta gulped hard, and Saya was mildly surprised he didn't faint from how he heart audibly skipped a beat; but he stayed strong, and puckered up. Saya was the one that almost chickened out though, not because she was disgusted by Kouta; that wasn't it at all. Her own heart was beating a mile a minute, and she had a sudden case of shyness.
It took everything in her not to shy away, and Saya pressed her lips to Kouta's; it was unfortunately awkward at first, neither knowing if the other would be taking charge, so they basically stood there with their lips together until Saya finally pulled back, a little ticked off.
"Y-you're a man aren't you! Shouldn't you be taking the initiative, lard-ass?" Saya shouted, Kouta a bit relieved to have the normal Takashi back, though cowed away from her out burst.
"I-I didn't know I was suppose to! I figured you would..!" Kouta retorted in defense, and Saya crossed her arms, looking away from him; Kouta was crushed at the idea he ruined the moment with Saya, and it showed, he speaking against after a moment of silence. "I'm...sorry. Saya-san..."
"I-it's fine. I'll give you one more chance, Hirano. Don't screw this one up." Saya said after a moment as well, looking back back towards Kouta but not actually making eye contact, a light shade of pink on her cheeks.
And so, they both stepped back up to each other and, after some fidgeting on both sides, they tried again; this time, Kouta was brave enough to place his hand behind Saya's head, a gesture that first made Saya step back until Kouta's lips touched hers, this time, it just happening. Even with just a regular kiss, the two felt electricity from the others lips, and Saya's hands were found draping around Kouta's neck as they moved closer.
As per directed from Saya, Kouta took the initiative this time, his tongue nervously sliding along her lip; she wasn't quite sure at first, but she just let it happen, her lips parting and Kouta's tongue invited her mouth. Not wanting to be completely submissive, Saya's tongue went out to meet his, batting at his before they passed each other, exploring the others mouth passionately; Kouta loved how Saya tasted while Saya didn't quite register if the liked him or not.
It wasn't bad, she concluded, and continued exploring Kouta's mouth. As much as they wanted to continue reveling in this new development between them, they broke away for air, both panting lightly. With a blush, Saya stepped away from Kouta and fixed her glasses.
"W-well, that should be enough for today...we're suppose to be on look out, remember?" Saya said, blushing, and looked over at Kouta out of the corner of her eye.
"Yeah, you're right." Kouta said, nodding with a smile before he turned to pick up his rifle.
"L-let's do it again sometime, Hirano..." Saya said, her blush flaring red as Kouta looked at her a bit surprised. "F-f-for practice!"
Kouta smile at her, and she cracked a smile back, both feeling closer than they had been yesterday.
"Defiantly!"
After diner, the group dispersed through out the house; Alice and Shizuka went back to the bedroom to get some sleep, and Takashi, Saeko and Rei each went up themselves to get some rest; Takashi in the spare room Kaede use to call his own and Rei and Saeko in the master bedroom with Saya and Kouta.
That didn't last long however with Saeko being the first to leave quietly, and soon, Rei took follow, leaving Saya and Kouta alone once again. When Saeko had left, she had gone down the hall to the room Takashi was residing in temporarily.
With a light knock, Saeko opened the door and entered, looking at Takashi who was laying on the bed in his t-shirt and pants, giving him a soft smile and a wave as she started for the bed; Takashi returned it and sat up on the bed, making room for the swordswoman to sit as well.
As for Rei, she left the room and closed the door behind her with a light sigh, looking to the right to see Saeko disappearing into the room Takashi would be staying at. Rei scoffed lightly and rolled her eyes before heading down the opposite direction, and down the stairs; she couldn't see Kaede yet, but as she made her way into the living room, she found him laying on the couch where he had been out of view from where she previously was standing; she also noticed he was shirtless, and probably napping, but he was quickly sitting up when he saw Rei.
"Oh, sorry...did I wake you...?" she asked, looking at his partially bandaged chest, remembering the wound he had gotten at the Takagi manor, then to his face with a awkward smile as she stopped her approach mid step. "I can go, if you were..."
"No, I was just resting my eyes; it's fine" he said, sitting up partially and motioned her over, making room on the couch for her since Kaede could guess she wanted to be next to him, and not on a different couch; seeing her had completely woken him back up, and he grinned lightly at her to show her it was okay and he wasn't sleeping, heavily at least.

In the room, Saeko's intentions became pretty clear quickly as she sat closely to Takashi; normally, he'd be blushing furiously at such an advance, but he was use to Saeko's forwardness by now, even if they haven't had that many encounters so far.
Without much delicacy or any words, Saeko leaned over to Takashi, and kissed him; slowly at first, but Saeko soon had her weight on Takashi and pushed him back onto the bed, her tongue running across his lower lip. Without much resistance, Takashi opened up, and let his arms wrap around her; one holding the back of her head closer, and the other around her waist, letting himself be taken by Saeko's intentions, surprising himself how easily he gave into his own carnal urges.
With more than enough permission given, Saeko deepened the kiss, pressing herself closer to Takashi as she slid her tongue into his mouth and his into hers, their tongues dancing against each other with a light moan from Saeko for getting Takashi's cooperation.
It was when Saeko shifted a bit, experimentally pressed her knee against Takashi's crotch that he pulled back, looking up at her.
"We can't do that, Saeko-san..." he muttered; as much as he wanted to as a male, he had already thought it over at some point, and shared his reasons at Saeko's dejected look. "We can't afford anyone getting pregnant at this point...and I didn't think of grabbing any rubbers at the store earlier."
Saeko blinked with mild surprise; she hadn't thought of that, and it was a really good point on Takashi's point. She smiled lightly and placed a light kiss on his lips.
"As expected of our leader...thinking even something like this out so well" she muttered the now familiar phase to Takashi with the same playful teasing as everyone else did when they said it; only, her voice was heavy and a lot more erotic. "But, if that's the case, there are plenty of pleasures we can do that won't bring up a chance like that..."
Takashi was silent for a second before sighing and kissing Saeko shortly.
"That's fine then, as long as we don't take a chance like that" he said, watching as Saeko's expression lightened up and as she leaned down to continue their kiss from before.
"Ah, you should mention that to Kaede and Rei too, just in case..." Saeko said, pausing and watching Takashi's surprised reaction, easily guessing her didn't know their relationship had developed that far; there wasn't any harm in teasing him, since there was only surprise and no anger of the comment of Rei and Kaede having that kind of relationship, and that she doubted that they actually were that far anyways.
Before Takashi could ask any more questions though, Saeko sealed his lips with hers, continuing where they left off; she felt Takashi give in under her, her previous words momentarily forgotten, and him start kissing back, like before. Saeko's hands found the hem of his shirt and started lifting it, breaking the kiss to remove it with Takashi's help.
He had half expected her to return to the kiss, but was given a new sensation when Saeko started on his neck, kissing and sucking on his throat. Never having felt anything like it before, Takashi let out a soft groan as she kissed a bit lower to the nape of his neck, and lightly nibbled on the flesh, earning another groan.
Saeko was obviously experimenting, likewise never having done anything of this manor so far, but more to map out Takashi's sweet spots for later usage since she had the knowledge; she was just experimenting on where to use it.
As Saeko continued her ministrations on Takashi's neck, they both became aware of a stiffness in Takashi's pants. Saeko glanced up at Takashi with a knowing smile before returning to her task, moving past his collar bone and progressing downwards with light kisses down Takashi's chest, Takashi painfully aware of the tent in his pants now thanks to Saeko.
He groaned lightly as she nipped at his skin here and there, but her goal obvious as she continued downwards; Saeko did pause at Takashi's navel though, giving it special attention as her fingers worked his zipper down over the bulge of his member. Slender fingers slipped into Takashi's pants, fishing his length from his pants gently; Takashi lightly gulped nervously at the sensation of someone else's hands on his dick and tired relaxing at her touch, which happened easily enough, for a few moments, anyways before another new pleasure was brought on Takashi.
Not bothering to remove Takashi's pants before hand, Saeko moved down the last bit until she was face to face with his moderately sized member, standing erect at seven inches; her eyes widened a bit, taking in the shape and form of Takashi's shaft, familiarizing herself with her self with her soon-to-be-lover's equipment. A thought suddenly crossed her mind as she felt a dampness between her thighs, and a smirk spread across her lips as Saeko ran her finger along the underside of Takashi's length.
He shuttered at the touch, and suddenly found Saeko shifting; Takashi didn't even have time to ask himself what she was doing before his question was answered, finding Saeko's stocking clad thighs resting on both sides of his head and that he was staring up at the junction between them, nothing but that thin strip of cloth obstructing his view of her womanhood.
Takashi's heart jumped in his chest, and no just from the sudden view; Saeko's tongue had run along the head of him member, obviously not bothered by the strong, musky smell from him having no properly bathing for awhile and making him bite his lip at the explosion of pleasure. Throwing caution to the wind, Takashi raised his hands and pushed Saeko's skirt up, bunching it up at her waist as he took hold of one of the strings on the side of the thong.
It only took a small tug to pull the knot free, and the fabric started falling free. Takashi pulled the black panties further away from Saeko's body and down her thigh slightly, exposing Saeko's glistening sex to Takashi, from the patch of purple hair at the top, all the way back to her puckered asshole; Saeko hardly seemed to mind.
In fact, it was almost as if she rewarded him for his actions, taking the tip of his member into her mouth and gently began sucking, making Takashi groan out again in pleasure; a bit unsure of himself, Takashi followed suit, his hands falling on Saeko's plum cheeks while both of his thumbs reached down and spread her slit, exposing even more of her to him.
At this, Saeko let out a hot moan, her juices already trickling down her thighs despite Takashi only starting to please her; as Saeko's lips started moving further down on his shaft, Takashi leaned forward, and experimentally licking along her spread slit, deciding right off he liked the taste of Saeko's juices. Licking her again, he payed extra attention to the little nub at the top, well, bottom, in their position, of her folds this time, like he had seen in plenty of 18+ videos.
It seemed to work, earning him another moan from Saeko and more sucking on his shaft, making his hips raising unconsciously to her, making her take in more of his shaft as well; Saeko was eager to wrap her lips around as much of Takashi's cock as she could, but she was still inexperienced, so she had to settle with stroking a bit more than half of it while she stared moving his head, sucking and licking on the other half and receiving many moans and pants from Takashi.
Not wanting to be shown up, Takashi kept his attention on Saeko's clit, but also shifted his hand, sliding a single finger into her hole; finding that it went in easily enough, Takashi quickly added a second, getting a nice moan from Saeko, before he began pumping his fingers and simultaneously licking on the nub of pleasure that made Saeko moan continuously around his shaft. Takashi was once again surprised when Saeko's lips started moving further down, feeling the tip enter Saeko's throat, feeling an amazing tightness as Saeko made herself kiss his pubes
Saeko's quickly lips retracted from Takashi's cock, panting for air after her little attempt at deep-throating, but that didn't stop her for long; she started licking and kissing down his length to areas her mouth couldn't reach without gagging herself. When she got to the base, Takashi expected her to start back upwards until she felt her mouth on his sac. Takashi's lips broke from her clit for a moment to take in a sharp breath of air at the pleasure, her hand stroking him completely as she took one of the orbs into her mouth, and groaned lightly.
"S-Saeko...san...t-that feels...amazing..." Takashi groaned between pants, her sucking intensifying when it was when Takashi expressed how good it felt; wanting to return the favor, Takashi attacked Saeko's clit with a new vigor, sucking roughly on the stiff nub.
This new attack made Saeko moan loudly and momentarily let his sac fall from her mouth from the pleasure; she quickly took up sucking up his length again to the tip, this time teasing it with her tongue, licking along the small slit as her hand pumped the rest of it. This got a good reaction from Takashi, so she continued with that for awhile before sliding her lips back down his shaft. In response, Takashi's fingers began moving faster as well, feeling a familiar pressure building up in his testis like never before.
Unbeknownst to him, Saeko was having the same feeling of an orgasm building up right along with him; the two's actions on each other became faster and more rugged, both sucking and pumping sloppily and faster until Takashi gave a low groan, and Saeko a muffled cry around Takashi's pulsating shaft. At his end, Saeko's slit suddenly exploded with juices he eagerly started licking up, withdrawing his now soaked fingers to start licking at her twitching inner walls; as for Saeko, Takashi's dick gave a few dry spasms before string after string of hot, thick seed started shooting into her mouth, loving the taste almost instantly of Takashi's fluids and swallowing it down as soon as it came.
Takashi kept licking until there wasn't anymore of Saeko's orgasmic juices left, reaching as deep as her could with his tongue to find any more before he finally withdrew from her, and Saeko had swallowed every last bit of his cum before releasing his softening member from her mouth; with the same agility Saeko had used to get them into the position, she got them out of it and laid, face to face with Takashi, both panting lightly.
Saeko smiled lightly, and so did Takashi before he wrapped his arm around Saeko's shoulders, both catching their breath.
"That was amazing, Komuro-kun..." Saeko said as she laid her hand on Takashi's chest, neither of them caring of the state of undress they were in at the moment, both just happy to be in each others arms after such an experience.
"Thanks...I've never done anything like that before..." he admitted, grinning at Saeko. "You were wonderful as well, Saeko-san...simply wonderful..."
"Well, thank you...but I've never done it before either" Saeko said with a light giggle, surprising Takashi slightly at the unexpected information.
"S-seriously? But that...it felt like a...a professional" Takashi said, hesitating at his choice of words, and for a moment, he thought they may had been the wrong ones to say.
"Really now, what kind of woman do you take me fore, Komuro-kun?" Saeko asked, in a serious tone, before smiling and giggling at Takashi's expression. "I'm teasing. But really, it was my first time."
"Well, I'm glad that it was then..." Takashi said with a light smile before kissing Saeko shortly, the fact of where her mouth had just been not lost on him, but Saeko didn't mind his reluctance, not wanting to push him too much; and they both also wanted to just relax together, and that's what they did, for a while.
What had caused them to arise and fix themselves wasn't something welcome, at all; there was several huge explosion outside, so close it had to be in the backyard, and light blaring into the window and lighting up the room.
"What the fuck was that!" Takashi cried at the light and sound, a sinking feeling in his gut...
Rei watched Kaede yawn lightly and frowned, having moved closer to him so she was leaning on his shoulder; but as he yawned, she sat up a bit.
"Are you sure? I can go if you're tired..." Rei said, not wanting to, but more concerned for Kaede's well being than her own desires.
"No, it's fine" Kaede replied with a grin, placing his arm around Rei's shoulder. "I like your company anyways, Rei."
At the contact, Rei smiled and leaned against Kaede again, falling into the simple bliss of being close to the one she had feelings for, but that also lead her to be a bit worried.
"You still need your sleep though..." Rei muttered, looking up at Kaede with a skeptical look, since he did look a bit tired.
Maybe it was the fact that he was indeed tired, but Kaede's arm around Rei tightened a bit, and he suddenly laid back down, taking Rei with him with a playful smile.
"Well, why don't you keep me company till I fall asleep then?" he asked with a small grin, Rei now laying on top of him and looking at him with a bit of surprise for him taking the initiative so quickly; he was even resting his hand on her lower back, almost on her rear, but not quite. "Or was your comment about sleeping together just for show?"
Rei pouted at his comment and swatted playfully at his chest, making him grin down at her; she quickly settled down, however, and laid her head against his chest, listening to his breathing and beating heart for awhile, before looking back up at him, propping her chin on his chest as she looked into his maple colored eyes with her own red hues.
Something seemed to connect between the two, and Rei shifted upwards to level herself with Kaede, and they kissed, slowly at first, but Kaede took a more forward stance, his both of his hands wrapping around Rei's waist now and pulling her closer, kissing her deeper as well. Rei happily accepted his prodding tongue into her mouth, sending her own to prod at his as she let a light moan out into Kaede's mouth.
They were kissing for awhile when Rei shifted to get into a more comfortable position, breaking the kiss; she ended up straddling Kaede's waist, suddenly becoming aware of the knot where Kaede had the sleeves of the jumpsuit he was wearing were tied, the rough fabric pressing against the softer fabric of her panties, and her womanhood beneath.
She was startled at the sudden contact, making her blush as she felt herself be aroused much more than she had been during the few simple make out sessions she had with Kaede and a new urge raised inside her; she leaned in and kissed Kaede passionately with little warning, her heart beating in her chest. Rei rounded up all her courage, shifting a bit so her path downwards was clear, and reached her hand downwards to Kaede's crotch, making his eyes widen with surprise, and pull back from the kiss.
"R-Rei...!" Kaede questioned, looking in Rei's eyes and, like before, her message was conveyed without saying anything, and she felt a stirring in his pants; even so, he wasn't sure if they should jump so far ahead when things were progressing a little slowly before hand. "I-I don't know about this..."
"Don't worry about it; it's not like we're going to actually have sex or anything..." Rei said, her voice husky and, with her previous actions, could easily fool Kaede into thinking that's what she wanted; she smiled lightly and placed a short kiss on his lips. "I was...thinking of just rubbing against each other...something like mutual masturbation, right...?"
Kaede blinked, and nodded slowly, not having expecting to hear that suggestion from Rei, but it wasn't such a bad idea, so he agreed with another nod and a light grin, letting himself be convinced with just that. To seal the deal, Kaede kissed Rei deeply again, both quickly giving in and their tongues started batting with each other.
As they kissed, Kaede's hand moved lower on Rei, and her hands moved from his chest to the knot she had accidentally turned herself on with earlier, both at an understanding of what to do next; Kaede's hand slid under Rei's skirt, sliding it up around her hips and slid his hands under the sides of her white panties as she worked the knot loose.
The two moved in unison and, with one swift movement, Kaede had shifted into a higher position on the couch, sitting up slightly with Rei's body following suit and straddling his waist comfortably as Kaede also pulled Rei's panties down partially, and she the zipper of the jumpsuit, leaving enough room for the tent in his boxers to spring up; Rei's hand found the hem of the shorts, kissing Kaede deeply as she tugged them down over his length, already feeling it was an impressive one, it feeling massive in her hands at nearly eight inches.
With her hands, Rei guided Kaede's member to rest between her thighs and along her moist slit, the tip barely poking out into view at the other end; with this, the right movements would rub Rei's sex along Kaede's, pleasuring them both greatly.
And that's just what they did, Rei sliding her slit back on Kaede's length, her juices starting to coat his member quickly, the action making them both moan. While Rei moved back to where the tip of Kaede's member was near her entrance, he had taken a look down where they were pleasuring each other, seeing Rei's neither-lips parted over his member with a patch of light brown hair above, as apposed to his own dark hair. The view didn't last long as Rei moved forward again and, as much as he could have just kept looking, Kaede looked up and kissed Rei once more.
With his hands on her hips, Kaede helped Rei slid along his member, both moaning into each others mouth; as an added bonus to both their pleasure, with each pass to come back together, Kaede's member pressed lightly against Rei's entrance, sending a shock of pleasure between them both when it happened, and that was what was really what was making them both moan each time they rubbed against each other. When their kiss was broken this time, Kaede moved down and started kissing Rei's neck, letting her catch her breath before stealing it once again, one of his hands shifting from Rei's rear end and to her front.
As his fingers found her stomach, Rei arched her back to his touch, and Kaede's hand slid up Rei's shirt; his hand moved further up her shirt, soon sliding under the left cup of her bra and grasping her breast gently, earning a louder moan from Rei. In return, Rei started sliding her pussy along Kaede's member faster and a bit rougher, making the tip hit hit and rub at her entrance, making them both moan in pleasure.
Rei shuttered as she came to stop on Kaede, letting his now soaked cock rest between her thighs, his hardness causing it to continuously wedge along her slit; he looked up at her a bit curiously, especially when she moved backwards, but was his questioning look was answered. Rei pushed her school uniform shirt up over her breasts, as well as her bra up over them, neither of them too eager now to actually stop and properly undress now.
Not that Kaede or Rei really minded anyways, both finding it a bit more exciting that way, doing what they were while still partially dressed; the thrill made it all the better when Rei started moving again, rocking her hips back and forth on his length, pleasuring them both as both Kaede's hands fell on Rei's breasts this time, squeezing them and rubbing her nipples, soon getting them to raise firm under his touch.
With Rei doing most of the work because of their positioning, Kaede decided to make it up to her any way he could, so, he leaned in, his hand holding her breast steady, and licked her erect nipple, getting a soft cry from Rei in response. His lips wrapped around the bud, and he began sucking on it playfully as Rei's slit continued to slide from tip to base of his member, her juices as well as his own were mixing as their pleasure built.
Thanks to the added pleasure from Kaede's ministrations, Rei's sliding and grinding on Kaede's cock became rougher and more roughed; with the increase of fluids spilling over his member and the increase of spasms he could feel, Kaede guessed Rei was close to an orgasm, and soon felt the tightening in his loins signaling he wasn't far behind either. He pushed hips forwards experimentally, making Rei emit a louder moan than before and Kaede broke away from her nipple and kissed her to muffle her moans which were becoming a bit too loud now, and there were other people in the house, so he didn't want to draw anyone's attention to them at this point.
He continued the light thrusts of his hips, causing the slides to become much more pleasurable to them both, their tongues dancing in their mouths together as they worked themselves to a climax together; when it hit them, Kaede was thankful for having kissed Rei so her orgasmic moans didn't echo far into the house, or his own.
As they both started cumming, Kaede pulled Rei close to him, their moans muffled as Rei's womanhood exploded with her thick, clear nectar while Kaede's member twitched wildly, his seed shooting from the tip and sending several thick ropes flying across the other end of the couch.
Both spent, Rei collapsed onto Kaede, and he held her tightly as the panted, hardly caring about the state their clothes were in, only worrying about each others panting, feeling as they were the only two in the house; even as they settled down and caught their breath, they didn't do much about their partial nudity, too tired to fix their clothes at the moment, and they didn't particularly care too either. Kaede stroked Rei's hair softly as she rested against him, smiling lightly and wanting nothing more than to fall asleep with her right now, but he knew sleeping in their current state would be bad in the morning; in any case, a few more moments wouldn't hurt, and be reveled in Rei's most nude body against his own a bit longer.
A/N: This is the end of the mature content; if you skipped past it, this is where you start reading again.
The incentive to get themselves properly dressed came with Yuki came down the stairs to them; Kaede noticed something wrong with her almost instantly as she paced around, back and forth at the end of the couch, hardly caring about the state the two teen were in. When she barked was when Kaede was put on alert, and he looked to Rei, who had seemed to doze off, but had been awoken by the bark.
"W-what's going on?" Rei said, on alert as well from the bark, and looked at Kaede, even more on edge from the look on his face.
"We need to get up, Rei," he said, and sat up as Rei shifted off of him, fixing her shirt and bra with a light blush from what they just did; even considering the sudden change in situations, Rei couldn't help but to wander off to the leap she and Kaede had just taken in their relationship, feeling much more bonded with Kaede now, but was quickly sobered back up by Kaede's words. "Somethings not right; Yuki's a hunting dog, and she smells something that's not suppose to be here..."
"Is it them?" Rei asked as she stood from the couch, pulling her panties back up, wishing she had thought about cleaning up before hand, but things seemed a little rushed right now.
"I don't think so; you've seen how Zeke reacts to them" Kaede said as he likewise stood, fixing his boxers and the jumpsuit a bit, tying it off like before, and picked up one of his Match USPs that had been laying on the table beside him; seeing Kaede arm himself, Rei grabbed the M1 that had been left leaning against the table, like Kaede's WA2000, the Baikal shotgun Kaede had been cleaning, and the AR-10, which Kouta had left downstairs. "It's defiantly not good, either way."
Another bark from Yuki, and Kaede stepped over to her, petting her and muttering something to her; the Akita Inu was off through the house, towards the backdoor with Kaede and Rei following after the white dog. When they got to the back door, Yuki barked at hit, and Kaede pushed it open, it seeming empty outside, but he kept his eyes peeled, Yuki now barking more freely and Rei following cautiously behind him.
Something moved to Kaede's right, and he quickly raised the handgun in that direction when there was the sound of a shotgun being fired, a hole being blown in the wall just beside Kaede; he quickly dropped to his knee and whipped his gun around, firing off four shots at a dark figure he could see with what was now obviously a shotgun, over in the corner where there was a rear gate in the wall; it was obvious from the cry of pain that at least one hit and obviously not in a vital area, since the figure quickly retreated through the forced open rear gate.
Since both Kaede and Rei's attention were on where the figure that had shot at them, the sudden shrieking of fireworks more than startled them; they both whipped around, Yuki barking like crazy now, as a large box set of fireworks started going off as another figure, the one Kaede had spotted first but had been able to give proper attention too, ran around to the front of the house. With being able to do anything about the loud fireworks since there was no running water, Rei and Kaede quickly bolted into the house once more.
At that moment, Kouta and Saya saw a girl run from the side of the house to the front as the loud screeching of fireworks went off in the back; Kouta was quickly on his feet as nearly every walking corpse was drawn to them due to the sound.
As Saya looked down at the figure, she recognized her as Yuuki Miku, a student and one of Shido's followers when they last left her; Kouta, recognizing her or not, had the DSR-1 trained on her as she soon found out that she was trapped; when she started for the gate at the end of the path, Kouta shot the ground, keeping her trapped until Takashi gave the orders on what to do.
Down the hall, the noise had obviously alerted Takashi already, and he and Saeko were busy fixing up their clothes when Kaede came storming down the hall.
"We've got trouble; the back gate's open, and they'll be swarming us over; some one broke in and set off fireworks in the backyard" Kaede said as he threw open the door, just as Saeko had finished retying her panties and pulling them back in place; the last part wasn't exactly needed to be explained, but the main question was unanswered. "I'm sure I shot one in the back, but it wasn't a killing shot, I don't think."
"Who was it?" Takashi asked, already knowing Kaede didn't know, as he pulled on his gakuran and the belt-harness and grabbing his shotgun, Saeko also taking up her katanas. "Are we going to have to make a run for it?"
Kaede only got a nod out in response to Takashi's question before a sudden crashing from outside and Kouta's yell for the others made them rush into the master bedroom, Alice and Shizuka peaking out of their room; Rei stopped to explain the situation, and that they needed to start getting ready to leave.
Saeko, Kaede and Takashi rushed into the master bedroom to find Saya scrambling around, gathering anything scattered around, and nothing but the groaning on them outside and a girl's screaming.
"What happened!" Takashi yelled as he rushed over to Kouta; dread filled his heart as he saw what was going on downstairs, the gate now on the ground, and a steady flow of the undead entering the house's yard.
"T-they broke down the gate some how!" Kouta replied as Takashi and Kaede gathered on the balcony, most of them that had gotten in more concerned with the squirming meal many were already piled on top of. "She was one of Shido's...she suddenly came running from the back."
"She musta been one of the ones we saw...the other must have been Sasaki then." Kaede muttered, clenching his fists at this disaster; it was only a matter of time before they started getting inside, and no doubt there were the undead at the rear as well.
His and Kouta's eyes fell on the Browning on top of the Komatsu at the same time.
"Alright, you guys get everything ready to go!" Kaede yelled, stuffing the Match USP into the waist line of his jumpsuit as he went for the side of the balcony. "Kouta, cover me!"
And with that, Kaede hopped over the side, grabbing onto the railings and waiting a moment, before dropping down, right onto one of them that had been passing by, breaking his fall.
"I swear that guy's crazy..." Takashi muttered before nodding to Kouta, who was in a bit of awe at Kaede's feat before quickly taking out a few of the undead in his way as he went for the Komatsu; leaving it up to Kouta, Takashi started back inside, nodding to Saeko to start getting busy too.
With the help of Kouta, Kaede made it to the Komatsu easily, and also with his support, was able to climb up and to the gun port, since the doors were all locked up; Kaede whipped the gun around, sitting on the roof since the porthole was also locked up, and started mowing them down with the .50 caliber rounds of the Browning.
Things were being turned around, and it now depended on how fast the rest of the group could get out and into the Komatsu, and load it.
Takashi supervised the gathering of what they had brought and, since most of them were there to help, there were all loaded for a single trip; Kouta had come down when Kaede had gotten to the Komatsu, and now they were ready to head out.
"Get ready to unlock the truck, Shizuka-sensei" Takashi reminded the teacher at the door, who held up the key determinedly; making sure everyone was ready, he nodded to them all before unlocking and throwing the door open.
The carnage from the Browning was laying everywhere on the ground in the form of blood, guts, and chunks of flesh and bodies, some still moving. They didn't have time to carefully pick through it all, so they quickly rushed the short distance across the lawn to the Komatsu; on top of the truck, Kaede was now holding off anymore of them from getting inside the grounds after having cleared the grounds of the undead for now.
As they neared the truck however, more from the back of the house started coming around, attracted by the sound of the Browning. Takashi and Kouta, using the AR-10, began holding them at bay while Shizuka got the truck unlocked, and everyone started piling the supplies they were carrying in, the young Alice being the one in first.
With most of the supplies thrown in, when it was time for them to start getting in, it was a cramp fit, but it had to do, given their current situation; just as Shizuka jumped in and started the truck, the Browning hit empty, and someone opened the port hole for Kaede, though, try as they might, no one could find the ammo cases for the Browning under all the stuff.
It was proved unnecessary, however, when Shizuka was able to pull back and, though it was a bit bumpy, eventually break away from the massive horde that had amassed outside the house. They all sighed a sigh of relief, hardly believing they actually had gotten out of such a horrible situation alive.
But they did, and that's all that mattered to any of them.
If Shido had been mad earlier, he was now beyond pissed s he watched from the window of the house across and down the street as the Komatsu broke away from the horde, and the hated group of students was free to live another day, even after all his careful planning!
He had spent hours waiting for the right chance to cut the chain at the front gate of the house thanks to the fat otaku and the Takagi's daughter keeping a diligent eye out; on that part, it was a bit lucky that their hormones had distracted them, giving him the perfect chance; they hadn't even noticed anyways. Then he waited until they should have all been asleep and send both his loyal-ish followers to plant the fireworks in the backyard, and too keep the back door open so they'd be trapped. It had been a perfect plan, but apparently not perfect enough for them, since they had survived, and neither Sasaki or Miku had made it back so far.
At a thud in that hall a moment before Sasaki entered the room made Shido scratch the though; even so, he looked pretty bad, with blood soaking a lot of his right shoulder and arm.
"What happened to you?" he asked coldly as he watched the teen fall to his knees, withering in pain.
"T-that fucking Himoura shot me!" Sasaki yelled back, and Shido's eyebrow twitched; he needed to get out of there, now that Sasaki had probably lead the undead right to him.
As Sasaki let out string after string of curses at Kaede, Shido walked over to the dropped shotgun, and picked it up, Sasaki paying him no mind in his anger.
"What happened to Miku?" Shido asked, again coldly.
"They probably got her too!" Sasaki yelled; again, Shido's eyebrow twitched.
"Shut up. You're getting too annoying" Shido spoke, coldly and clearly, and Sasaki flipped his lid.
"What the fuck did you just say, old man? I'll fucking kill you-!" Sasaki's threat was suddenly cut short when he noticed he no longer had the gun, Shido did.
And Shido didn't hesitate; Sasaki's body fell to the floor, dead, and Shido looked coldly at him, before kneeling to take the rest of the shells off the teenager, only, he didn't see the empty eyes of the walking corpses now coming up right behind him. It was their groans at Shido's neck that warned him of their presence and their cold hands on his coat that made that warning ineffective.
It had been little over an hour since their escape from the house and every one was tired, either having been woken up or dozing off when they were forced to leave the house, so the first thing on Takashi's mind was to find someplace to rest; they had left the residential area and was now driving along the freeway without a set goal anymore.
A few minutes had passed since they had gotten onto the freeway that Kaede, who was alone at the gun(and had put a shirt back on at some point) ducked down and looked to Takashi.
"I think I see a place...a mall" he said softly, since Alice, Rei and Saeko were all dozing, and only Takashi, Saya and Kouta's duty to make sure Shizuka stayed awake kept them up as well.
"Why a mall...? Those places are always swarming in the movies..." Takashi said, and Saya answered for Kaede, understanding what he was getting at.
"We'll be able to gather things we may need" Saya said with a yawn. Like batteries and stuff. And we can't always go trusting movies right now, Komuro."
Takashi sighed, crossing his arms over his chest in though.
"Well, alright, but it it looks bad, we're turning right back around the other way" Takashi decided with a nod, and Kaede gave him the directions from the roadsigns to convey to Shizuka.
Kaede popped back up, and a few minutes later, could see the mall in the distance, their next destination.
Chapter 12, end
Author's notes: So, uh, I checked out the reviews on this fic recently, and her's a little response to the anonymous poster that reviewed; I'm aware that it follows the original story pretty closely at the beginning, but would you rather have me go 'Okay guys, imagine this new guy has been with the group the entire time,' and start where it starts getting original? I don't think many people would really like that, and the fic does have it's differences, even though they may be small, and only really start getting noticeable later on; in other words, wait till you've read more than the first few chapters before commenting like that, alright? Especially past Chapter 4, where you commented on, this fic did follow the manga almost completely; it was necessary to set the story up.
Anyways, I at least should thank you for reminding be about the disclaimer...that was the only useful thing I got from your review...in any case, anyone familiar with Needless? I have a fic for that up, though, I only have the Prolog chapter up so far, so if you're interested, check it out!
