This day was not going as planned. First he woke up to insistent tapping on his apartment window, which just so happened to be on the third floor with no tree access, and was courtesy of a man missing his right arm and had a rather large chunk of flesh missing from his left side. He looked completely lucid but the fact that he was a walking corpse that absolutely shouldn't be up and about was enough to put him on the edge of his seat as it was. He was pushed further from his comfort zone when, on his walk to school, he was accosted by an elderly woman with a hole in her jaw and three ribs removed and exhibiting her innards. She also carried an obviously dead fish in her hand though he wasn't about to inquire as to the reason for that, nor the reason that it squirmed and snapped in her grasp.

After three more people that were supposed to be dead, all in various states of decomposition and dismemberment, jumped out at him from the most random places (the first fell off of a balcony and almost hit him on the head, the second rolled out from under a garbage bin, and the third jumped off the back of a truck as it sped by), he decided he had had enough of being ruthlessly surprised by them and took off running as fast as he could manage. While moving he glanced back occasionally to check if they were still following him, which all five were, keeping an amazing pace with their current physical ailments. He kept his gait as the group behind him grew larger, an inexplicable number of living dead stalking him and drawing the attention of those still alive.

He wasn't expecting to be tripped by a discarded leg laying in the middle of the sidewalk and then have the owner of said leg latch onto him, sniffing at him like an addict would sniff cocaine. The pleased sighs drawn from the blue-tinged man faintly disturbed him...

"Oi."

He bristled at the deep voice that caught his attention from a few meters away. He looked up at the taller boy that towered over him and the slowly growing horde of zombies that threw themselves at him. Doumeki blinked at the sight, not sure what to think of it but not saying anything about it quite yet.

"My name is not 'Oi'," he growled, struggling against the bodies all trying at get to him, the ones that could licking and nuzzling his skin, leaving trails of congealing blood on him. "And don't just stand there, help me!"

"You have bodies on you," Doumeki pointed out, pinning him with a blank stare as the one that had tripping him, grunting as an elbow jabbed his stomach, grabbed his wrist and drew it to his mouth, nibbling harmlessly on it. "And you're getting chewed on by one of them."

"You think I don't know that?!" he yelled, jerking his hand away. The skin tore and a small amount of blood leaked out, immediately stopping all movements from the people piled on him. He blinked, pausing with them for a split second before taking advantage of their sudden cease, pushing away and running towards Doumeki, grabbing the taller boys wrist and dragging him along unconsciously and not letting go until they reached the school gate, cheeks flushing bright when he realized he still held the other boys hand.

Dispersing from their tangled heap the zombies glanced at each other uncertainly, not understanding the sudden urge to maul the poor boy or the reason they were still alive, writing it off as a supernatural phenomenon. A small, dainty female turned to her friend with a shrug after rising from her undignified position on the ground, offering a small smile.

"Wanna go get coffee?"

This is dedicated to TheLadyPendragon for getting the idea of Zombie!Watanuki and telling me to with it what I would. Lol, Watanuki gets pseudo-molested by zombies. :D Haha, they lose control around him and have the urge to lick/bite/nibble/eat him, but only around him. Doumeki repels it and I think that Himawari is just there for the ride half the time; no bad luck or nothing. I'm not too sure though.

Lol, the zombies can be fairly pleasant if you get to know them. :3 And yes, I realize that I never actually said Watanuki's name in this. It was purposeful after he tripped.
