"The wheels on the bus go round, and round, round and round…." The blonde boy sang. Dawn couldn't help but sing along. "Come on join in Paulie!" She playfully teased. "Don't call me that." he muttered "What's wrong?" Dawn asked , extending out her hand, and touching his. He just ignored her, but he held his hand there for awhile.

Driving up the rocky path, Raye said. " We haven't seen any of them…." "I could sure go for a hug right about now." Paul whispered to the window. "Whacha say?" Dawn asked. " Nuttin'." He muttered. "Uh huh." She said pulling him in for a tender embrace. "This is the part where your supposed to hug me back." Dawn whispered in his ear. Turning around, he hugged her right back. Their eyes interlocked as they pulled away, leaning in Dawn closed her eyes…

"Where to now!" Paul blushed. "That was a statement, not a question. Doofus." Raye playfully said. "The winds picking up!" Misa mentioned. "It's like a monsoon out there!" Jack yelled, continuing his current nursery rhyme. Continuing up the windy path, they came to a bus station. "Come on guys! That guy sure looks friendly!" Misa said, waving towards the grotesque man. "He's un-dead." Shiyoku said, looking at Misa with annoyance.

"I think he just winked at me!" She continued. "Facial tick." Dawn commented "Then explain why he's coming over here!" Misa huffed. "He find's you highly delectable, and he's attracted to the engine." Paul smirked. "Oh, isn't he sweet!" She cooed. "Just look at those white eyeballs, and bone sticking out! Not to mention the peeling skin! Now I find that highly attractive!" Misa whistled. "I don't know if this lady is for real, or a class A idiot." Paul whispered. " I know right!" Dawn said back.

"Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall…." Jack droned on. Dawn, yet again , sang with him. Making their way to Perry square, They stopped in front of A seven eleven. "I thought we were going to Get go!" Raye complained. " Live with it." Shiyoku shot back. "But there slim jims taste horrible! Get Go's are better!" Raye complained yet again. "Wanna live , or die?" Shiyoku fumed. "Can I choose?" Raye questioned. "Be serious." She said. "Yes." He replied. "Good, then live with what you got." Shiyoku said, grabbing Jack by his stubby hand."We'll be back." She said, bringing the toddler with her.

Shiyoku's POV

When Shiyoku entered the store, she didn't expect it to be empty. She expected a few dead body's mangled up here and there. Slowly opening the door, A bell went off signaling someone walked in. "W-Who's there?" A meek voice asked. "I could ask the same." She replied. Why had she brought the child into this? All he would see was blood. But Shiyoku enjoyed Terror, having control over somebody's reactions or lives made her feel good.

"A-Andy Warhol." The voice replied. Humph, What kind of name is Andy? She thought grimly. Walking in she saw a boy around her age, maybe younger, with a broad chest, Spiky white hair, a red shirt, and blue sweats cowering in the corner. Shiyoku couldn't deny that he was cute, in fact she wanted to squeeze him. "Come with me and you'll live." Shiyoku said , looking up and down. Pulling out a bat, she hit an oncoming zombie, blood splattered on Jacks pretty shirt, making him wince in terror. All Shiyoku could do was smirk, but she couldn't help but feel a parental bond between them. "How many more zombie's are there?" She asked looking around the ransacked gas station. " I-I don't know." He replied sheepishly. "Humph." She said. A metallic scent wavered in and out of her nostrils. "Did you get bit?" She asked. "Y-Yea." He said , tears sliding down his pale face. "Do you want to die human or zombie?" She asked looking at him, a sad look in his eyes made her want to end his life even more. "H-H-Human I g-guess." he stuttered, pools of tears cascaded down his face. "Look away Jack." She motioned him to a corner.

"You will die a brave man." Shiyoku said, kissing him passionately on the lips. "I cannot deny that you are handsome." and with that she stabbed him with a metal bar. Blood spurted out of his chest cavity, and a pained expression crossed his face, Once more she leaned in and kissed him. "Good bye….." She said, and with that she stabbed and beat him till she was sure he was dead.

Grabbing scissors, beef jerky, and a large sugar cookie, Shiyoku grabbed Jack's hand, and pulled him outside. "What happened to that man?'' Jack asked, a confused expression crossed his face. "He went back home." She said handing him the sugar cookie. "Oh, okay." He said.

As they stepped onto the bus, Shiyoku told Dawn to cut Jack's hair. "Why me? And what if he likes his hair?" Dawn said, outraged. "I don't!" Jack piped in. "Fine." grumbled Dawn. "Sit down please." She said, pointing to a seat, directly across from Paul. "Oh yeah, here's your beef jerky." Shiyoku said, handing Raye his beloved meat.

Jack's hair cut made him slightly less girly. She made it spiky, and short. The only thing that threw him off was his girly attire. Jack got up, sat next to Shiyoku , and fell asleep, or at least tried. Dawn, now sitting with Paul again couldn't help but notice Shiyoku staring at him. She must like him, thought Dawn. Paul's hand overlapped hers. Her heart skipped a beat. Turning to face him, she nuzzled her head into the nape of his neck…

I'm not sure how good this one is but I felt like making it quickly :p
