Previously on Number One Guardian:
As Saya looked into a mirror she then said, " My clothes are all dirty... I need to have mommy take them to the dry cleaners." Then Takashi walked up to Saya and then Saya looked in the mirror once more then cried into Saeko's chest. Saeko then hugged her as Saya cried into Saeko's chest. As she cried everyone looked at her sadly. Ichigo then said,
"It's ok to cry. To pour out your tears to give relief to yourself for what you have gone through. From this moment forward there will be ups and downs. But I promise you, someday we will surpass the pain that we have seen today. Someday we will get out of the hell."

3rd Person Pov Setting:Office
"...government has started to do something about this on-going revolt. However, the politicians are doubting the SDF's ability to..." one newswoman said. Then Saeko changed the channel to a different one. "The number of deaths in the Saitama prefecture already exceeds 10, prefectural governor has declared a state of emergency-". On the TV, Ichigo and the group heard several gunshots and the newswomen said "That was gunfire! Just now the ploice opened gunfire! But what are they shooting at?!" At the scene the people who everyone thought they were dead started to move again while they were strapped inside a bag. The police then shot them while they were moving but the bodies didn't stop moving. " No! Stay away!" Then zombies started to attack the newswomen. "Help me!" Then the channel turned to static and something showed on the TV saying 'Please Stand By'. The channel then showed the studio they are using to broadcast to show the news. "There's been some sort of problem. F-From now on, we'll be broadcasting from the studio here." The new newswoman said." As you can tell, the situation outside has become grave. We advise you to please stay in your home unless it's necessary. Once it's safer outside, we'll bring you information about the on-going situation."
Then Takashi smashed his fist to the desk and said, "That's all? Why aren't they saying more?"
"Because they're afraid of causing panic." Saya said
"Even now?" said Rei
"Becuase of what happened just now!" said Saya
"Fear leads to chaos, chaos leads to anarchy. How would you expect the government deal with the living dead in a time of anarchy?" asked Ichigo.
The newswomen continued to say, " This unusual phenomenon has spread throughout America and has yet to be brought under control. The government authorities have evacuated the White House and will relocate to a command center on board an aircraft carrier. There are reports that this transfer is in preparation for the possible use of tactical warheads. We have currently lost contact with Moscow. Beijing has been set ablaze. London has maintained order, but in Paris and Rome there are reports of looting. Government officials have declared-" Then the channel went into complete static.

"So they're all over the world." said Takashi
"But how? When I was surfing the web this morning, it was business as usual." said Kohta
"Geez it only took a few hours for the whole world to go into chaos." said Ichigo
"There must be someplace that's safer right? And soon things will be back to normal." said Rei
"Don't count on this issue to be resolved so soon." Ichigo said. Everyone looked at him and then Saya said, "Ichigo is right. If this issue is worldwide, it can go on for how long. If you think that there will be
an instant solution that can change this worldwide issue then don't get your hopes high."
"So your saying that there is no way for this issue to be resolved?"
"No I'm saying that it will take quite some time for this issue to be resolved."
"Do you really have to say it like that?" said Takashi
"This is a pandemic. What am I supposed to say?" said Saya
"A pandemic?" said
"It's who an epidemic of infectious disease spreads. So, the same disease that's infected people here is spreading throughout the world." said Saya
"You mean like influenza?" said Takashi
"This is another case like the Spanish Flu of 1918. Over 600 million people were infected by it and 50 million people died from it. Think about recently when there was new type of influenza that had people worried." said Saya
"Isn't this situation more like the Black Death of the 1400s?" said Ichigo
"Europe's population went down a third because of that."
"How did those diseases stop?" asked Takashi
"There are a lot of theories, but..." said Ichigo
"The reason why diseases like those "die" is because they killed so many and there's not enough people left to spread it to." said
"But in this case, the dead are moving around and attacking people." said Kohta
"Then you are implying it has no reason to stop spreading?" said Saeko
"Maybe they'll start to decompose." said
"How do we know they'll even start to decompose?" said Saya
"Why do you say that?" said Takashi
"Don't these things defy our knowledge of medicine? So why bother relying on it?" said Saya
"What is important is having a location to make use of after we check on our families." said Ichigo
"Should we act only in our own self-interest we would not stand a chance. Let's act like a team." said Saeko. Everyone nodded as they prepared themselves to go out into the hallway. "We should help survivors as our ability allows us to." said Saeko. "Got it." said Ichigo. "How do we get out of the building?" asked Rei. "The front door is closest to the parking lot." said Saya. Everyone got into a formation with Ichigo at the front. He then said, "Let's go!". Ichigo opened the door to the class room open. He then made space for Kohta who shot down a zombie with his nailgun.
"Nice shooting, Kohta." said Ichigo
"Better than you ever would be."
"We'll see about that later."
As everyone went out of the classroom they headed down the hallway kicking zombie ass left and right.
**time skip**
"Just to confirm you we don't have to begin fighting unless it is inevitable. Refrain from fighting when the opportunity arises." said Saeko
"Understood." said Ichigo
"They only react to sound. Additionally, they're powerful enough to break down a normal door. So once they get hold of you, you're gonna get eaten. Be careful." said Saya
At that moment, Ichigo and the group heard a scream.
NOG
A group of girls and boys were cornered on the stairs by zombies coming from both sides.
"Shit... stay back!" a person from the group said as the zombies closed in. Just as the zombie was about to bit the person a nail went through the zombies had as it fell down. At that moment Ichigo slid down the stairs and slice a zombie's head off. Then he engage with the group of zombies on the stairs. His swords became a blur as he fought them. The rest of the group just arrived as they saw Ichigo demolishing the zombies. Up, down,left,right is what was going on in Ichigo's mind while he was fighting. But then a gray hand grabbed Ichigo left arm. ! Ichigo's arm was held by a zombie. Ichigo tried to move but the zombie won't move. Saeko and Rei called out to him "Ichigo!" Kohta couldn't shoot the zombie because he ran out of ammo. Is this the end of Ichigo? Thought Saya. The zombie mouth was just inches to Ichigo's flesh when it's head was sliced off. Everyone was surprised when they looked at Ichigo with his hair covering his eyes while his right hand was outstretched. "I'm not about to go down that easily." he said. Then he realized that he was surrounded by zombies because of the noise he made. Ichigo then ran to the stairs, propelling off the railing above the group of zombies then came down with his arms in a x formation. When he reached the ground crouched and outstretched him arms really fast that it appeared as a blur creating a shock wave of air. Then everything was quiet and then he said, "Zangetsu Kuki Nagashi (Slaying Moon's Air Current)" (Guess where I got that from x) ). Then right after he said that all the zombie's head exploded with blood raining down. Then he said, "What are you guys waiting for. There still are loads of zombies to be dealt with." The group then snapped out of their shock and began finishing off the other zombies. When they finished Saya said,
"I'm guessing everyone have the same question as me so I'm going to ask for them. The question is: how did you do that?"
Ichigo scratched the back of his head and said, "I just swung my swords really fast while using gravity as an advantage. That's the reason I jumped into the air. I practiced this move from the last time there was a kendo tournament till now."
"Which is a year."
"Yeah."
"Why did you named this move 'Zangetsu Nagashi'? I understand the KukiNagashi part, but what does Zangetsu have to do about anything?" said Saeko
Ichigo answered, "Well that's because Zangetsu is the name of my swords." ! everyone thought.
"You gave your own sword a name?" said Saya
"Yeah I named it in dedication to my mother."
" Why" said Rei
Ichigo looked up at the clear sky and said "My mom died on a full moon."
"Oh" was all that Rei could say.
Ichigo turned to the other group and said, "Wanna come with us? We're gonna get outta here."
Their leader said, "Y-Yes!"
"Ok then follow us."
Ichigo and the rest went downstairs to see a group of zombies close to the front door wandering around.
"What's the point of hiding here? They use their ears, not their eyes." said Saya
"Then why don't you prove that for us, Saya" said Takashi
"Regardless, if we remain inside of the school as such, we will be unable to move once attacked."
"No way but through the gate, huh." said Ichigo
"We need someone to validify the truth behind Saya's words." said Saeko
"I'll go." said Ichigo
"No Ichigo, I'll go for you!" Rei and Saeko said at the same time, then looked at each other with electricity and tension in their eyes. Ichigo ignored them as he headed down the stairs and finally after what felt like forever reached the bottom of the stairs. Then he walked into the middle of the hallway. Zombies were just walking around and didn't notice him. In front of him was a zombie approaching him. Ichigo stepped aside as the zombie just went past him. Ichigo then threw a shoe he found on the floor to the opposite way of the front door. Zombies didn't notice him as he made his way to the front door while they go to the direction of the sound the shoe made. The rest of them was going to the front as fast as they can when the last person accidentally made a sound with his weapon. ! everyone thought. Takashi was about to yell something but then he saw Ichigo signaling him to be quiet. Everyone was fighting zombies as the made their way to the minivan. When everyone got in, Takashi said,
"Who's that?"
"That's Shido. He teaches Class 3-A." Saeko said.
Rei gave a look as she said "...Shido..."
"We're ready to roll!" said.
"I don't like Shido. He treats loads of students like crap. Let's leave him behind." said Ichigo
"Hold on a bit!" said Takashi
"There's some swarming in the front too. I can't drive if there's too many of them bunched together!" said
"So then run them over!" said Takashi
"If we do that with this bus we'll end up rolling over." said Saya. Takashi was going to tell the survivors outside to hurry up when Rei said,
"Don't save him!"
"Rei, what's your problem?"
"I don't know what her problem is but my problem with him is that he treats students like crap. Anyone who treats someone like crap shouldn't be saved even if he is a teacher." said Ichigo
"That's right! We should leave him to die!" Rei totally agreed.
All the other survivors outside made it to the bus and drove over the zombies and out of the school gate.
**mini time skip**
As everyone was on the bus, walked up to Saeko and asked,
"Are yo the leader Saeko?"
"We are without one. Our survival is simply the product of our teamwork."
"Well that's no good. A leader is required in order for us to survive. A person who manages everything."
While was talking Rei whispered to Takashi, "You're going to regret this. You're definitely going to regret saving him."
Then Saeko said out loud,
"If we are going to have a leader I nominate Ichigo"
Ichigo was snapped out of cleaning his swords as Saeko said that.
"I second that." said Rei
"I nominate him as well. With his level of intelligence only second and sword skills he can help us survive." said Saya. The rest of group agreed since they saw what Saya meant.
"Saeko... Rei...Saya."
So Ichigo was officially made leader. After that Kohta looked out the window and said,
"Our city!"
Everyone looked out the window and saw black smoke coming from the city.
**mini time skip**
A student from 's group said,
"Look! We'll never make it if we keep going! First, why do we need to do whatever you guys planned to do? You all decided to go back into the city without asking us. Couldn't we have just looked for a safe place inside the school?"
"He's right!", another student said. " We should find a place
was just about to retort when Ichigo said,
"Look, you guys need to do whatever we're doing because 1. WE got to this bus first. 2. If you wanted to go look for a safe place at the school why did you come to this bus. 3 If you want to find a place to hide like the convience store we passed, you can the fuck off the bus now. Are we crystal?"
Everyone from 's group was shocked while people from Ichigo's group was nodding their heads from what Ichigo said. Saya said,
"I couldn't have say it better, Ichigo."
"What...the hell?!" said the student
"Then what do you wish to do?" asked Saeko
Then the student pointed at Ichigo who was just finished polishing his swords and putting them into the scabbards, then putting the scabbards on to his back and said,
"I can't... I can't stand this guy!" Kohta was ready to shoot his gun at the student, but Saya signaled him not then said,
"Kohta, can you hold my backpack?"
"Yeah sure."
Ichigo then stood up and said,
"Why? What did I ever say to you?"
"You..!" As the guy was about to punch Ichigo, he was met with a sword at his throat. The student looked at Ichigo and saw that Ichigo covered his eyes with his hair. ! Everybody on the bus was surprised that Ichigo would draw out his sword. was so surprised that she suddenly stopped the bus, but that didn't even faze him. Ichigo then use his other hand to punch the guy in the stomach and the guy lost his breath and fell to the floor. "Geez falling to the floor from my weakest punch. How pathetic. You suck." That was his weakest punch huh? Damn he's strong. Thought Saeko. walked up to Ichigo clapping his hands saying,
"Splendid work. Ichigo that was excellent fighting. But, hmm that proves why I said earlier. We need a leader."
"And there's only one person who can do the job which is Ichigo." said Saya
Then said, "Well Saya I'm a teacher and the rest of you are students. That alone should be enough to say who's more qualified. If I was the leader, I would prevent conflict unlike Kurosaki Ichigo who gets into fights all the time. What do you all say?" Then one after another everyone from 's group started to clap. Then bowed and said, "Werll that's that. Sorry Ichigo-san but I've become leader based on a Majority vote. Then suddenly Rei gets up, bolts to the door and gets out of the bus.
Takashi then said, "Rei!"
Ichigo then says, "Don't worry Takashi I will bring her back to the bus." Then Ichigo got out of the bus and follow Rei to the entrance of the car tunnel. Ichigo then asked,
"What's wrong, Rei?"
"Screw it! There is no way in hell that I am going to b anywhere near him!"
"Rei..." said Ichigo
"If you're saying that you can't get along then we simply have to split." said Mr. Shido
"What's that supposed to mean?!" said Takashi
Rei then continued to walk to the tunnel but then Ichigo held her wrist and said,
"Wait. You just have to put up with him until we get to the city. Besides, its way to danger-"
"Didn't I tell Takashi that he was going to regret this?!"
"Look now's not-" Ichigo then looked to his right an saw a bus, a bus full a zombies. The bus full of zombies crashed into a car then toppeled over heading straight for Ichigo and Rei. Ichigo and Rei then ran at full throttle, then Ichigo tackled Rei just as the bus crashed into the entrace, sealing off the entrance as well as making the bus go on fire. Ichigo and Rei looked at the position they were in, and then Rei blushed scotted away a little bit. Ichigo coughed (Not because of the fire) and then said,
"Now we're split from the group."On the other side of the flaming bus Saeko ran up and said,
"Ichigo-kun, are you two unharmed?"
"The police station! We'll meet at the East Police Station."
"At what time?"
"7PM! If it doesn't work today, then we'll try again tomorrow!"
"Ok! Can I talk to Rei for a second!"
"OK!"
Then Rei comes up and says,
"Saeko, what do you need now?"
"Listen bitch, if you anything with my Ichi-kun when I'm not thereyou'll see what happen when you come back. Understood?"
With a smirk Rei said, "No promises." Then bus parts fell down and covered the space between them meaing they couldn't talk anymore. That little bitch! We'll you won this battle, but you haven't won the war. Saeko thought.
Contest for Ichigo's Love
Rei:1 Saeko:0
Saeko then headed back to the bus and told ,
" , we are unable to advance."
"Ok, I'll turn back and find another route."
Meanwhile Ichigo told Rei, "Crap, let's get out of here!" And then while they were running an explosion went off behind them. The explosion followed them all the way until they got out of the tunnel and into the middle of another street. They both were breathing heavily as Rei turned around and got pushed to the ground by a zombie with a motorcycle helmet on. ! thoguth Rei. The zombie streched its neck ready to bite Rei when suddenly its head was sliced off and it was raining blood. Rei then looked at Ichigo who had his arm oustreched with the sword in the blood rain. He then sheathed his sword and held a hand for Rei to hold to get up. He then said ,
"Rei, hold my hand." When Rei looked up to Ichigo's face, his orange hair was swaying and when she looked into his brown eyes and felt overwhelmed by the warmness that comes with it. She blushes then says, "Ok." As she held his hands, she noticed that the warmth from his hand is better than any type of heater. He pulled her up, looked into her eyes and said,
"Let's go."
