For some reason, this chapter was really hard to type. I couldn't think of a begining that I liked. I settled with this one, in the end. I'm not completely happy with this chapter, but whatever. xD By the way, this fanfic might be longer then I orignally thought. How long, I don't know. Maybe two more chapters or so.
I don't have much to type about, so I'll type about what anime I'm seeing this fall season. Bakuman and Star Driver are a must. I love, love Bakuman's manga, so I'm hoping that the anime will live up to it. And Star Driver is the director of Soul Eater's anime, and Ouran. AND it's by Bones, one of my favourite anime studios. So, uh yeah. xD
Maybe I'll watch Panty and Stockings, it's by Ganix, and despite the weird title they've really never let me down with an anime. Oh, and it's director is the same director as Gurren Lagann. :3 Maybe I'll check out Kuragehime, because it's by the same anime studio as Durarara!, Brains Base.
Disclaimer: I do not own Durarara! or any of it's characters.
Tokyo Outbreak
Chapter six: Ready, set, GO!
"Alright, is everyone ready?" Shizuo asked. He woke everyone up once the sun came back up again, after Celty woke him up that is. It took awhile for Anri, Mikado, Kida, and even Shizuo to get fully awake. Otherwise they were all ready for whatever came their way.
"Yes, we're all ready." Anri said, gripping her sword. Saika's 'words' were starting to get worse. Saika didn't like being used as a weapon to cut off zombie's heads. Anri so far, was ignoring it, but Saika was getting more and more aggressive with her 'words'. She was afraid that Saika might turn angst her, or her friends.
"I'm ready, I-I guess." Mikado said, thinking of what to do if he faced a zombie. 'Remember Mikado; just stab them in the eye with one of your pens. Then take it out. E-Easy, right?'Mikado kept on telling himself this in his mind, over and over again. It wasn't really making things better, but Mikado figured that it wouldn't hurt to repeat it over and over again.
"I'm ready to fiiiigggghhhht!" Kida shouted, swinging his baseball bat over his shoulder. Truthfully, he was having fun. He didn't even mind that he was thrown into a wall, and knocked unconscious by a fourteen foot tall zombie! He's weird like that, okay?
Nodding in agreement, Celty gave a thumbs up signal at Shizuo. She was planning on getting her motorcycle from outside, and hop on it and see if she could possibly warn Anri, Shizuo, Mikado, and Kida if a powerful zombie was coming. She really hoped that there weren't any really fast zombies, her motorcycle thankfully goes very fast, but if there was a fast zombie she'd be screwed for sure.
Shizuo said nothing as he smashed through the bookcases that he put up by the main door. Anri, Kida, and Mikado all ran after Shizuo. Celty got on her motorcycle and rode ahead of everyone, looking out for more huge zombies.
Anri easily caught up to Shizuo. Anri wondered why Shizuo wasn't carrying a stop sign like he normally does. But, she didn't mention it to him. He was likely going to use something else that was handy anyway.
Mikado was having a hard time catching up to Anri, and Shizuo. He wasn't exactly the best at running, then again Shizuo and Anri were pretty much running at almost an in-human speed. Kida was hanging back with Mikado, and it really wasn't that hard to figure out why. 'Providing back-up is what friends do!' is what Kida's huge smile said to Mikado.
Shizuo started wondering why no zombies were showing themselves yet. He was guessing that one, they were waiting for them. Or two, the zombies suddenly dropped dead. Shizuo went with answer number one, seeing as it was the most logical choice.
"Um, uh, Heiwajima-San, why aren't any zombies showing themselves to us yet?" Anri questioned. She was wondering the same thing that Shizuo was wondering. "Normally we'd see one about now… Right?"
"I dunno." Shizuo said, stopping dead in his tracks. Anri stopped too, and looked back at a struggling Mikado and Kida.
"W-W-Why're w-we stopping?" Mikado huffed out, breathing heavily. Even Kida was trying to catch his breath, and he doesn't have any problems with running like Mikado does.
"Something's wrong. That's why." Shizuo said, looking around. Something really didn't seem right. Almost as soon as Shizuo was thinking, a huge zombie showed itself at last. Only this time, it was behind Anri, and she just noticed at the last second. As the zombie tried to make Anri his lunch, Shizuo very quickly picked up a streetlight pole and took the ugly zombies head off before it even got four inches to Anri.
"S-Sonohara-San! You okay?" Mikado shouted, running up to Anri.
Anri looked at Shizuo, and then back to Mikado. Waving her left hand and laughing fakely, Anri finally said something after a minute or two. "I-I-I'm fine, r-r-really." Looking at Shizuo, Anri bowed down at him. This was the second time that Shizuo saved her, but in reality, the first time he saved her from getting killed. "U-U-Um… t-thank you, H-Heiwa-"
Shizuo cut off Anri to say something entirely different then what she was expecting. "Don't mention it. And just call me 'Shizuo.' People call my Dad 'Heiwajima-San', and it makes me twitch. Same goes for the rest of you." Shizuo looked at Mikado, and Kida. They both nodded, figuring that they really should stick to what Shizuo says.
"Isn't that Celty-Saaan in the distance…?" Kida questioned, after he nodded. "I can't really tell."
Turning around, Mikado's eyes went wide. If Celty was coming back this soon, then there must've been a huge zombie coming after her. "It is Celty-san! W-What should we do?"
Pushing up her glasses, Anri regained her strength, and held up her sword. "Isn't it obvious, Ryugamine-Kun? We fight." Anri herself was surprised by her words, but she went along with her new found strength.
Coming up to everyone, Celty quickly took out her cell phone. 【Change of plans. My apartment is blocked by 'The Undead', and cars. We have to take another way to my apartment. 】
Looking around, Mikado suddenly thought of a plan as soon as he saw a huge truck. "Anyone good at driving a truck?"
"What?" Kida asked, blinking twice. He couldn't believe what Mikado just suggested. "You what one of us to drive us through that mess?"
"You got any other plans, idiot?" Shizuo asked. Kida shook his head; he really didn't have any other ideas either. "Anyway, I drove once. I failed, only because I crashed into someone who angered me."
【I can drive a motorcycle okay. But I've never drove a car before, much less a truck. 】
Sighing, Mikado saw that his plan was going down the drain already. Until he thought of someone else to drive. One of Kida's many friends. "What about your friends, um, the ones that hang around Kadota-San. If I remember right, there's one that can drive a van in the small group, right?"
"What? No way! Togusa drives like a maniac when he's mad! He wouldn't leave his van for nothing anyway!" Kida shouted, shocked by Mikado's stupidity. But, to be fair, he's never seen Togusa's driving before.
"… You know, Togusa's van is big enough for all of us. But, then again, he has Kadota, and those creepy otakus. I don't wanna deal with them." Shizuo said. He met6 them once, and after they questioned him on a bunch of stuff, even Erika announcing that she wants Shizuo and Izaya to get together out loud, to Shizuo neverless, that was enough for him.
"We don't even know where they would be in this mess anyway. For all we know, they could be 'The Undead' themselves…" Anri said, looking at the ground. She was disappointed that he couldn't slice off any zombies heads, but she would never say that out loud.
"Nah, Kadota-Kun's gang is stronger than that. They're likely in Togusa's van, driving each other nuts." Kida said, being right for once. They were driving each other nuts. "They shouldn't be too hard to find either. But I still don't agree with Mikado's plan."
【What other choice do we have, Kida-Kun? Togusa's van seems like the most logical plan, besides having Shizuo drive a truck. 】Celty didn't even want to think of Shizuo's driving skills, he was very likely just as much of a maniac on the road as Togusa was.
"… I don't like it either, but I agree with Celty. I do drive like a maniac." Shizuo said, not at all pleased with what Celty just typed, but shrugged it off. He couldn't stay mad at Celty for long, anyway.
"Okay, but where do we look, exactly?" Anri said, pushing up her glasses with her left hand.
"By a convince store, or some otaku related store. Manga, anime, or cosplay. You name it." Kida said, naming off all the stores Walker, Erika, and Kadota would visit with his fingers.
"Urgh." Shizuo grunted. He hated those kinds of stores. He liked manga and anime as a kid, to be more blunt, he liked mecha and hero anime. He liked American comics more, though. Iron Man was one of his favorites, next to The Hulk. "Let's go and get this over with then."
"I'm soooooo bored of playing the same video games over, and over again, Dotachin!" Erika whined, slumping down in her seat and pouting.
"And I'm tired of watching her drool over smutty ideas for video game characters!" Walker said, crossing his arms.
"Shut up. Try and finish up all of your light novels then." Kadota said. He finally got some peace and quiet, until those two started complaining again.
"But we diiiid, Kadota!" Walker whined. They really did finish all of their light novels, quickly if I may add.
"Then just count zombies!" Kadota yelled. He was getting annoyed already by Erika and Walker's complaining. Togusa was no help, he was still sleeping. He could sleep through all their complaining, which made Kadota jealous.
"Okaaaay!" Said Walker and Erika together. "One zombie, two zombies, one determined sword wielding girl slicing zombies heads off." Walker added. Kadota thought that a sword wielding girl was a strange sight to see, but he shrugged it off.
"One very pissed off Shizuo-Kun, slicing zombie's heads off with a stop sign." Erika said, smiling. This was even more fun than a video game!~
"Wait, what?" Kadota turned his head around, and looked at what Erika and Walker were rambling about. And, he couldn't believe it, but Shizuo, a sword wielding girl, The Black Rider herself, Kida, and his friend were all running to Togusa's van.
Unlocking his door, Kadota hopped out of the van, to see why the heck they all were running towards Togusa's van. Kida jumped up and waved at Kadota, while Mikado was stabbing zombies in the eye with his pens while trying not to get bitten. He looked like hell, but otherwise he was having fun. "What the hell are you guys doing here?"
Catching his breath, Kida said, "We need to use your van, Kadota-Kun. We need to get to Celty-San's apartment, but her apartment is currently blocked. We couldn't think of another way to get there, other than you guys!"
"Y-Yeah, we really couldn't think of another way." Mikado said, catching his breath too. Mikado checked on Celty, Anri, and Shizuo as they were fighting off on-coming zombies.
"…" Thinking about it for a bit, Kadota couldn't let Kida's friends all get stuck out in the open, same with Shizuo. He didn't really trust The Black Rider, but all the same, she was a friend too. "Alright, hop on. I'll try and wake up Togusa."
"Awww, Kadota is a big softy on the inside!" Erika cooed, peeking out the window.
"Shut up! I don't let friends down!" All the same, Kadota was blushing at Erika's comment. Mikado and Kida hopped on after Kadota did. And after Anri, Celty, and Shizuo got finished with most of the oncoming zombies, they hopped on Togusa's van too.
"Guh." Togusa rubbed his eyes, he had been having a really good nap until Kadota woke him up. "Whut happened?"
"I'll explain on the way, but just for now, drive!" Kida yelled, making Togusa's eyes go wide as he started to drive into zombies. This was ruining his paint job, neverless. Not like he cared, he was driving like a maniac. The kind of maniac that would go joyriding in a very expensive and fast car. Yeah, that kind of maniac.
Thank you for all the comments again! Cx
imaginedreams22: Yeah. xD Like I stated before, I'm not at all like Anri, so it's really hard to grasp her character. But I think I'm getting better at it. Sorta. Shizuo's character is really easy to grasp, all I think about is a nice guy who rages a lot. Boom! Oh, and thanks for the comment!~
Kimitara: I love playing agenst my cousin on Left 4 Dead 2. xD I'm horrible compaired to him, but I'm VERY slowly getting better. I'm just so used to RPG's. Thank you for the comment!
Annniel: Thank you. Cx A lot of people seem to love zombies, including me, so I just mashed Durarara! and zombies together. I've never really seen Dr. Who, but I know enough of it thanks to one of my friends. xD
