Author's note: ok before we begin, Let me be the first to say that I am so so sorry with how long this took to update. I was distracted playing dark souls and watching random YouTube videos. And also, I am going to fix the problem with Ross and his girl problem. Now I am going to try my best to fix it, Since i am glad that Theboblinator pointed this out to me in a pm. Thank you very much, Now remember when i said that there was gonna be a lemon or not...well. There might be one still, And if there is one please forgive me on it. I am not very good with making erotic parts in my work *cough* F.A.T.E chapters 31 and 18 *cough*. but I hope you all enjoy it either way.
Well, Before we begin. I just need to go hide.
*hides in a safe*
Well...I hope you like it...
P.s this chapter is going to be a bit...weird...sorry. And this chapter might also suck because of how long I didn't touch it. Plus this was also I believe, The hardest to write out of all my chapters.
Everyone gathered around as they all thought of a way to cross the bridge. Ross and Takashi joined them not too long ago, The only difference being Takashi having a lump on his head after receiving a massive scolding from Ross.
"So did you guys find a way to cross the bridge?" Ross asked Takashi.
Takashi shook his head "No, We we didn't" he said "What about you guys?".
"Same here, No luck" Saeko said.
"What about up stream?" Saya said.
"They were working on construction of a river dike here, So we can't cross, And I don't think it would be any shallower up stream" Takashi said, Saya then thought of something.
"Hey, When I was in elementary school. I used to play up there and they drained the water" she said.
"Oh...well I don't know about that. We've gotten a lot of rain since then so the water level may have risen" Takashi said, Shizuka then thad an idea.
"I think it would be a good idea if we settle down for today and get some rest" Shizuka said.
"R-rest?" Kohta said.
Shizuka nodded.
"We only one hour until dusk. If it gets dark we won't be able to see where we're going, And it will be rough on Busujima and Hikatori" she said.
"That's true, But where can we stay safe until morning?" Saya asked her.
"Won't it be crowded though?" Saeko said.
Ross smirked.
"Saeko's right, We can't afford to stay in a very small space. But I'm sure there's a place that's big enough for us" he said.
"I know a place we can use" Shizuka said, Saya smirked at her "Is it your boyfriends place?" she said.
Shizuka waved her hands as she started to blush.
"T-this place is different! This is one of my girlfriends places!" she said franticly "She's always busy with work at the airport so she gave me a key. I'm just watching over the place". Kohta asked her something.
"Is it an apartment? Does it have a good view?".
Shizuka nodded at his question.
"Yeah, Mezonet apartment, So it's right on the river. There's also a convenience store close by too" she said as she then waved her arms "Oh after we're done there, My girlfriend as a car we can take. It has four doors and looks like a tank".
"We'll have to find a way to get it on the street" Saeko said.
Saya stretched "I'm so warn out after today. I really want to go to a place with working electricity and just take a shower" she said, Kohta then thought about the idea "Y-you've got a point there" he said.
Saya however heard him as she kicked him to the ground.
"You pervert!" she said.
Takashi then walked over to the motor bike.
"Shizuka, Get on the back" he said.
Shizuka nodded "Ah, Okay", She then got on the back of the bike as she held onto Takashi's waist letting her large breasts squeeze on his back.
Takashi tried his best not to have a nose bleed as he looked at the others.
"Shizuka and I will go ahead and check it out Busujima" he said.
Saeko nodded.
"Understood".
He then looked at Ross and nodded at him, Ross nodded back fully understanding what he was doing as the two drove off.
Ross then walked over to his bag as he kneeled down and opened it up to see what was inside that his father had made for him. He was both confused and suprized to see that inside the bag was only a black rectangle like metal structure.
'What the hell is this!? This is just a large metal piece of crap! How in the world is this going to help me!? Thanks a bunch dad!' Ross thought as he stood up and kicked the metal object a few feet away from him. He then zapped it with a small shot of lightning.
'What a waste of-', Just then. The metal object then started to transform into something. It's rectangle like shape then started to extend as well as the back end, The tip had spit into two half's, The back now had formed a stock, And it's under belly now had a trigger.
Ross blinked at what had just saw.
"What the hell..." he said as he picked it up, He then realized that it was lightweight. That's when Ross noticed some small writing on the side of the gun.
"Hm? What's this?" He said as he looked at the writing.
Exj-748 Prototype Railgun
Ross was speechless, He finally owned something that he and Kohta thought was just a fantasy weapon, Ross started to laugh.
"Hahahah! Oh man! This is gonna be so much fun!" he said.
"What's going to be so much fun?".
Ross turned to see the others behind him, Ross stood up as he grinned.
"Take a look at this" he said as he showed everyone the railgun.
Yuuki was the first to speak.
"Ross, Where did you get that?" she said.
Ross then scratched the back of his head "Hehe, Well...I guess I had it on me the whole time" he said with a sheepish smile, Kohta then examined the gun.
"Oh man, I've never seen such a beautiful thing! It's design is something straight out of a science fiction movie" he then saw the name on the side of the gun and almost had a heart attack.
"Th-this is a...this is a" Kohta stuttered.
"It's a what!? Spit it out already!" Saya said.
"It's a railgun!".
Everyone was silent.
"What! That's impossible!" Saya said.
"No really, Take a look for yourself", He then showed everyone Ross's gun as well as the writing on the side of it.
"B-but that's.." Saya said stuttered.
They then heard Takashi call them.
"Guys come on! We found the place!" he said, They all ran over to him and Shizuka as they followed them to the apartment.
-a few minutes latter-
"There it is" Shizuka said.
Kohta and Saya looked over at the car.
"A humvee!" Kohta said.
Saya just pondered.
"What the hell kind of "Girlfriend" is this?" she said.
Rei walked over to the fence of the apartment "They won't be able to get over the fence, So we should be able to sleep safely" she said, Everyone nodded as Ross walked over to Takashi "You guys said you found some weapons right?" he asked.
Takashi nodded at him "Yeah we did, We found a hand gun. But I don't think I'll be able to hit anything with it" he said, Kohta than ran over to him "What? A gun?!" he said as his mouth dropped.
Takashi gave him a sheepish smile "I'll let you hold it after this, But for now...". That's when the group all heard 'them' come from behind the fence.
"Komuro! Is this ok?" Saya asked him.
"Yeah, it's fine. Stay back" he said as he lifted his left sleeve up and picked up a crowbar that was on the ground.
"There are already some behind the fence. We have no choice but to get rid of them" Saeko said.
"Right" Takashi said.
Ross then pulled out his railgun as one of his eyes went yellow.
"Oh yeah, This will be fun" he said as the gun started to charge, Takashi looked at him and his new weapon.
"Where did you get-, You know what I'll ask you that latter after this. Let's go!" he said as they ran at 'them'.
Takashi, Saeko, Kohta, And Ross were taking care of 'them' with little effort. Takashi was bashing 'them' with his crowbar, Saeko was smashing each of 'them' with her wooden sword and martial art skills, Kohta was taking 'them' out with his hand made gun.
And as for Ross...well.
"I'm going to enjoy watching you all suffer!".
He was having a blast.
-2 hours latter-
After the gang had killed off 'them' from the apartment, They all went inside to relax from all the craziness that had transpired today. The girls quickly took the bathroom as they wanted the showers and bathtub, But they also warned the boys that if they even peeked on them, They were dead. Although Takashi and Kohta nodded rapidly at there request in fear of what the girls would do, Ross calmly nodded as he went upstairs to go mess with his railgun alone.
-the bathroom-
Shizuka, Rei, Saya, Saeko, And Yuuki were all in the bathroom enjoying the wonderful bliss of the water.
"Ah! This is just what I needed" Shizuka said as she was relaxing in the bathtub.
"This feels nice" Rei said as she stretched her arms.
Shizuka nodded "It feels like I'm melting away".
Yuuki was in the bathtub with Rei and Shizuka as well "Mmmm, You can say that again" she said, Meanwhile Saya and Saeko were a few feet away from them as they were using the showers.
Saya picked up one of the bottles as she squinted at it to get a better look at the label.
"This is shampoo right?" she said, Saeko looked at it for her "Yeah, it is" she said.
Rei was then glancing at Shizuka's huge breasts.
"Good god you're gigantic!" she said as she stared, Shizuka smiled with pride as she lifted them up "I know, I get that a lot" she said.
Yuuki looked at her breasts and pouted "Humph, You seem to be pretty full of yourself" she said with a smirk, That's when Yuuki then nodded at Rei who had the same smirk as her. The two of them them grabbed Shizuka's breasts.
"Gah! What are you two doing!?" Shizuka cried as the girls fondled her.
"Oh were just trying to see if these things are even real!" Yuuki said as she was fondling Shizuka's right breast.
"Yeah!, There's no way that these things are real!" Rei said as she was squeezing Shizuka's left breast, As the girls were messing with Shizuka Saya glanced at them for a second before getting embarrassed as she washed her hair.
"This water's lukewarm. It sounds like a hentai game over there" Saya said as she washed her hair "Why do we have to take a bath together again?".
Saeko just smiled at her "You should already know the answer to that Takagi" she said as she moved her hand over to one of the shower heads.
"Yeah, But still-hyaaah!" Saya stopped talking as she was sprayed with cold water by Saeko.
Saeko just smiled more at her.
"My my, You have such a sexy voice. It's no wonder boys like you so much" she said, Saya just glared at her as she picked up a bucket of cold water and poured it on her back getting a moan from Saeko.
Saeko glanced at Saya who had a grin on her face.
"Hey you started it!, But it looks like your not the only one with such a sexy voice that boys would like you for" she said.
Saeko looked away 'The only boy that I want to hear my voice like that is upstairs messing with his new toy' she thought. That's when Saeko gasped as she felt someone grab her breasts.
"Wow! More big ones!" Rei said as she fondled Saeko who was fighting back her moans, Saya sighed as she shook her head only for Yuuki to grab her breasts as well.
"Don't think your getting out of this" she said with a smirk on her face as she gently fondled her. Saya gritted her teeth as she felt Yuuki's hands on her breasts.
As the girls were having messing around, Takashi and Kohta were busy trying to get a metal storage container open.
"Sounds like there having fun" Takashi said.
"Wanna go and take a look? Like a real man?" Kohta said.
Takashi shook his head.
"I don't want to die yet" he said, That's when they both heard footsteps a few feet from them as they both looked to see Ross walk over to the bathroom door and gently knock on it.
The girls kept playing around until they heard the knock at the bathroom door.
"Huh? Who could that be?" Shizuka said.
Saya then cracked her knuckles "I think I have a pretty good idea who" she said as she grabbed one of the towels and wrapped it around her body as she walked over to the door and slammed it open.
"Hey you perverts! I thought I told you th-" Saya quickly stopped talking as she was greeted by Ross who had only a very short bath towel around his waist.
"hey, I didn't mean to bother you all. But I also don't mean to be rude when I ask how long your all going to take in the bathroom. Because I want to get in next please" he said as he looked away from Saya.
Saya didn't say a word as she looked at Ross's body as she started having a huge amount of naughty and lustful ideas running through her head.
Saya then came to her senses as she spoke.
"W-we'll be out in a few, Just...don't bother us again" she said trying to not show her blush, Ross still looked away from her as he nodded.
"Thanks, And again. I'm very sorry for bothering you" he said as he walked off.
Saya quickly slammed the bathroom door shut as she walked back to the stool and sat.
The girls looked at her.
"Who was at the door miss Takagi?" Shizuka asked.
Saya went back to washing her hair "It was just Ross asking to use the shower after us" she said calmly. The others felt there hearts skip a few beats at the sound of Ross's name.
"What did you tell him?" Yuuki asked.
Saya sighed.
"I just told him that we would be out in a few minutes" she said, Shizuka then placed her finger on her chin "Well, You know we could have gave him the spare shower that's in here" she said.
Saya quickly turned to her and glared.
"That's a stupid idea! Do you forget that he would be in a bathroom full of girls?! That's like every man's dream!" she said.
Shizuka titled her head at her.
"Well, It's not like he would try anything on us" she said "After all, Ross is sweet, Kind, Caring, And very protective" she said.
Saya rolled her eyes at Shizuka.
"Please, Even if he is all of those things. He's still a boy, And boys can be total perverts when there with a bunch of girls" she said, Yuuki then added into the conversation.
"Yeah, That can be true. But Ross is different. He wouldn't do that to the people that he cares about" Yuuki said.
Saeko nodded at Yuuki's words.
"After all Saya, You saw how Ross acted when Shido tried to make us stay with him and his group" Saeko said "Or how he saved you from one of 'them' in the school". Saya knew that she was right, If anything were to happen to them, She knew that Ross would put his very life on the line to save the people that mattered most to him.
"Yeah, I guess your right" Saya said.
Everyone smiled as Shizuka then turned to Rei who was quiet the whole time.
"Do you have anything to say miss Miyamoto?" Shizuka asked her, However Rei didn't say anything as she was breathing hard as her hair shadowed her eyes.
"Hm? What's wrong Miyamoto?" she asked. Rei didn't respond, Shizuka then glanced at her arms as she then saw them in-between her legs. That's when she put it all together.
"Ahh! M-Miyamoto!, That's so gross!" Shizuka said as she got out of the tub, Yuuki looked at her.
"What? What is she-" Yuuki then glanced over at Rei to see what she was doing. Yuuki quickly got out as well.
"What the fuck!? Are you really doing that in the bathtub!?" Yuuki said getting Saya and Saeko's attention.
"What's wrong?" Saeko asked Yuuki.
"Miyamoto is playing with herself, That's what's wrong!" Yuuki said.
Saya and Saeko looked over at her as they were both completely shocked and disgusted at what Rei was doing.
"That's sick! What the hell is your problem!?" Saya said as one of her eyebrows twitched at the display.
Saeko just sighed.
"Would it have killed you to do that in private?" she said.
Rei however was in her own world as she was trying to take care of her needs. She then muttered something under her breath.
"R-Ross" she said.
Saya kept glaring at her.
"What was that?" Saya said.
Rei then moved one of her hands on her breasts as she increased her pace, Her breathing became moans as she felt herself getting hotter and hotter.
"Ross" Rei said in a lustful tone.
This got the girls attention.
Rei then stopped as she panted, She then glanced at the door as she then yelled.
"Ross! Get in here and fu-" Rei's mouth was quickly sealed by the others.
"What the hell Rei!" Yuuki said.
The girls then heard a voice on the other side.
"Did you guys call for me?" it was Ross.
Rei was trying to open her mouth but Yuuki had covered it.
"Nope! No one called for you!" Yuuki said, She then felt Rei bite her finger as Yuuki quickly moved her hand.
"Ouch! The fuck is wrong with you!?" she said, Rei then quickly got from the tub as she went over to the door only for Shizuka and Saeko to hold her down.
"Everything ok in there?" Ross asked.
"Yes everything's fine now get lost!" Saya said, Rei then opened her mouth "Ro-" Saya closed her mouth.
Ross scratched the back of his head as he sighed.
"alright, I'll beat it. Sorry" he said as they heard him walk away, After Ross had left they all then turned there attention at Rei.
"Just what the hell was all that!?" Saya asked her, The girls released her as Rei held her hands over her chest.
"I can't take it anymore" Rei said.
"What do you mean?" Shizuka asked.
Rei looked at the floor.
"I can't hold it anymore, I need Ross. I need to be with him, I want him to hold me close to his chest, I want his fingers to intertwine with mine, I want to hear his heartbeat, I want to...". Rei then looked at the others "I want to tell him that I love him".
The girls were quiet, The reason why Rei was pleasuring herself was because she was holding back her true feelings for the man that they all fell in love with. Rei was going to open up to Ross about how she really felt about him. However, She wasn't the only one.
"No...".
The girls all looked at Yuuki.
"There's no way your going to be the first to tell him how you feel, If anyone should tell him. It should be me!" she said.
Rei got to her feet as she glared at Yuuki.
"Like hell you will!" Rei shot back "Everyone at school knows of your reputation! you really think that Ross would fall for a whore like you!?".
"Shut up! Who do you think you are to tell me that! " Yuuki said "I was in the same home room with him. At first he wasn't very open nor did he want to be bothered with me, But in two days he changed and we became close ever since. If anyone deserves to be with Ross, Then it should be me" she said.
Rei was about to say something to her until Shizuka spoke up.
"That's not fair" She said in a upset tone.
Rei and Yuuki both looked at her.
"Shizuka..." Rei and Yuuki both said in a low tone.
Shizuka had a few tears drip from the corners of her eyes.
"Ross has been the second closest friend besides my girlfriend, He always came to help me out with my medical studies, Never did he once try anything on me. He didn't treat me like crap like most guys I've meet, He didn't talk down to me, He would never hurt me. He would always be so sweet. I was the second person that he showed his powers too. He trusted me to keep his secret safe, And I did. And as three months went by, I started to fall for him. So I think that...I should be with him" she said.
Rei and Yuuki just stared at Shizuka with disbelieve, They didn't even think that she would even have feelings for him.
However Saya quickly broke out of her silence.
"As if! Your a nurse! And besides, It's Illegal for a teacher to date a student! Ross doesn't need to waste his time with an airhead!" she said, Rei quickly came to Shizuka's defense.
"Said the same girl who called him not normal?! Let alone slapped him after he saved you!" Rei said.
Saya gritted her teeth when she brought that up.
"Shut up! I told him that I didn't mean it. I still have to find a way to apologize to him, And I'll do whatever I can to tell him just how much I am sorry. But I love him just as much as the three of you do!" Saya said. The three girls then started arguing.
Saeko who was quiet the whole time when the argument started finally spoke.
"Enough!" she said.
The others stopped arguing as they looked at her, Saeko crossed her arms as she sighed.
"Look, Fighting over him isn't going to make this any better. We need to settle this without acting like children"she said "So let's do just that".
Everyone was silent before Saya spoke up first.
"You're right. Fighting like this will get us nowhere, We need to act our age and talk about this clamly" she said as she looked over at Rei "Rei, You said that you wanted to confess your feelings to Ross correct?".
Rei nodded.
"Yeah, I want him to know just how I feel about him" she said.
Saya then turned to Yuuki.
"And as for you, You also want to express your feelings as well right?". Yuuki nodded as well.
"Yes, More than anything" she said.
Last was Shizuka.
"The same goes for you as well Miss Shizuka?".
Shizuka nodded her head rapidly as she smiled.
"Mhm, He means a lot to me" she said.
Saya sighed "Well, Since I have feelings for him. I also want to confess my feelings as well" she said. That's when everyone turned to Saeko.
"What about you Saeko? Do you have any special feelings for Ross?" Shizuka asked.
Saeko moved some of her hair out of her face as a large blush formed on her face.
"Ross means the world to me" she said "I love how he always says how he'll protect all of us. He is always willing to put his life on the line for his friends. It's one of the many reason why I fell in love with him" Saeko said.
Saya nodded at her comment.
"Well now that we have gotten that out of the way about how all of us feel about Ross, We still have to think about what would happen if he were to pick one of us to be with him. Because let's face it, Ross really isn't the kind of guy to want a harem. Plus, He really doesn't want to break any of our hearts" Saya said.
This was all very true. The girls knew how Ross cared for them and how he always did his best to make them happy. The fact that he would have to chose one of them while the other person would be left heartbroken would be devastating on him. However, Another problem arose in there heads.
"Wait, If we all have feelings for Ross. Then who does Ross have feelings for?" Shizuka said.
"Crap your right, That's one thing I never did find out" Yuuki said.
"Same here" Rei said.
"Ditto" Saeko said.
"Dammit" Saya said "So now what do we do?".
Everyone pondered about this until Shizuka thought of something.
"Well...the first thing that we should do is, Umm, We should all think of a plan if Ross picks one of us" she said. Saya crossed her leg as she was in thought.
"Miss Marikawa is right. If Hikatori finally chooses one of us in the end, Then will have to form a plan in advance in case he does" she said, Rei then thought of something else.
"But what if he can't chose any of us?" she said "What if he doesn't want to be in a relationship because he wouldn't want to see any of us get hurt?".
Saya was twitching at what Rei had just said.
"Damn, As if our options weren't limited already. You now add that into the mix" she said, Rei simply pouted.
"Hey you know it's true! Ross cares about us. And knowing him, He would be having a very hard time trying to pick one of us while trying to make the rest of us happy. He would go insane" Rei said as she looked away "And I don't want that to happen to Ross".
Everyone sighed.
"This is going to be difficult" Saeko said.
-meanwhile outside the bathroom-
Ross was sitting on the steps as he was watching Kohta and Takashi open up one of the metal containers.
Inside the first container was nothing more than ammunition.
"Ah man, What a waste" Takashi said as he looked at the other container "I bet there isn't anything in here" he said as he jammed the crowbar into the other containers door slot.
Kohta and Ross however looked inside the first container as they looked at each other.
"This is all just ammo" Ross said, Kohta then thought of something "If there's ammunition. Then..." he then looked at Takashi tried to open the second container.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Kohta asked Ross.
"Only one way to find out" Ross said.
The two then helped Takashi open up the second container, The three then all held onto the crowbar.
"Ok, 1...2...3!" Takashi said as they then moved the crowbar, The crowbar quickly broke the container door as the three then fell to the ground.
Takashi was the first to get up.
"Damn, That hurt" he said as he rubbed his head. He then looked at Kohta who was dazed, He then glanced over at Ross.
"Hey Ross are y-Gah!" Takashi said as he turned his head away from him, Ross got to his feet as he stood up.
"Jeez, Well that was easy" he said, He then looked over at Kohta and Takashi "You two ok?" he asked. Takashi nodded at him while still looking away.
"Yeah man were fine, Just put your towel back on!" he said, Ross looked down to see that he didn't have his towel around him as he quickly grabbed it and put it around his waist.
"Hehe, Looks like it fell off" he said with a sheepish smile.
Kohta came out of his daze as he looked at the open second container, He quickly got to his feet as he had his madding grin.
"Just as I thought" he said.
Takashi and Ross looked at the open container as Ross grinned as well.
"We hit the jackpot!" Ross said.
"Just what kind of friend does Shizuka have?" Takashi said.
Kohta then grabbed one of the guns and examined it .
"This is a springfield M1A1 super match, Huh? But it's only semi-automatic. Well, The M14 series is full automatic. This is less wasteful when it comes to ammunition" he said as he looked at the ammo magazine "This is a 20 magazine! This is illegal in japan. It's illegal eh..heh". He then pulled out another gun.
"Uh hirano?" Takashi said trying to get his attention, Ross then placed his hand on Takashi's shoulder.
Takashi looked at Ross who just smiled at him and shook his head "Let him enjoy this" Ross said. Takashi just blinked at him as they looked at Kohta.
"A knight's SR equipped with a scope...no. You can't get that kind of thing in japan, So it must be an AR-10 that was modified from top to bottom!", Kohta then looked at the container to see another weapon inside.
"There's also a crossbow still in the locker. It looks like a descendant of something that Robin Hood would use. It's a Barnett wildcat C5. That's a hunting crossbow made in England" he said, Takashi then walked over and pulled out the other gun that was inside.
Kohta then had a gleam in his eyes.
"That's an Ithaca M35 Riot Shotgun!" he said "It was designed by an American. It's one badass shotgun. It was used in the Vietnam war" he said.
"Is that right? That already sounds pretty cool" Takashi said as he pulled back the reload mechanism under the gun as he aimed it at Kohta.
Kohta quickly panicked.
"Never ever point a gun at another person unless you're absolutely certain it isn't loaded!" he said as he got his composer back "The only ones you can point at are..".
"'them', Well let's hope that's all I have to point it at" Takashi said.
"You know that's not possible, It's only gonna get worse" Kohta said as he started to smile "In a war like this, There's no surrendering or negotiations or shit like that" he said.
Takashi nodded at him "Yeah, You're right" he said.
Kohta smiled at him as he placed the magazine back into one of the guns. As the two were looking over the weapons, They then heard Ross laughing.
"Hm? What's wrong Ross? Something on your mind that's got you in a laughing mood?" Takashi asked his friend. Ross however shook his head as he kept laughing.
"Hehehe, No my dear Takashi. I'm not laughing because of something funny. I'm laughing because it is a warning" he said. Both Kohta and Takashi just looked at him puzzled at what he had just said.
"A warning?" Kohta said.
Ross nodded as he stopped laughing.
"yes, My laughing is a warning to everyone else that would dare harm my friends and loved ones" he said "I may not be normal like the rest of you. What with my lightning powers, But I'll be damned if I let anyone try to hurt you guys. Whether it be undead or human, I won't let them hurt the ones that I hold dear".
That's when Ross let some of his lighting surge over his body, The two boys then saw his hair grow out, As well as his eyes turning bright yellow.
"I'll kill them all, I'll rip them to shreds, I'm gonna slice them to pieces, I'll kill them a thousand times over and over again. I'll execute them without mercy!" he then showed his infamous wicked grin only this time it was now a smile.
"I'm gonna murder them all! Heh...hehehehe".
Kohta and Takashi were both speechless and in utter fear. They never knew how much Ross would go to protect his closest friends.
Kohta sighed in relief and in a bit of fear.
"W-Well...were just glad that your on our side" he said with a chuckle.
Ross quickly reverted back as he placed his hands on his hips.
"Hehe, Yeah same here. Sorry, I really didn't mean to scare you guys. But it's how I really feel, Each and everyone of you are what keep me moving forward. No matter the cost I will protect every single one of you" Ross said.
The boys nodded at him.
"That's alright, And besides we understand" Takashi said.
Kohta nodded at him "Takashi's right. And besides, We would have done the same thing too" he said. Ross simply smiled at his friends.
"Thanks" he said.
Takashi waved his hand at him "Don't mention it" he said. The three of them then started to laugh.
Ross then walked away from them.
"Well I'll leave the weapons in your care guys. If you'll excuse me, I'm off to take a long shower" he said "Hopefully the girls are finished" he said leaving Takashi and Kohta to themselves.
"Hey Takashi" Kohta said.
"Hm? What is it?".
"Remember how Rei said that she was almost raped by that thug that you shot?" Kohta asked, Takashi raised his eyebrow at him.
"Yeah? What about it?" he said.
Kohta smiled a bit.
"It's a good thing that Ross wasn't with you guys, Otherwise he would have gone and destroyed the city" he said. Takashi gulped at the thought of that happening.
"Y-Yeah, Thank god he wasn't with us" Takashi said.
The two of them then started to load up the guns with the ammunition.
Ross was walking to the bathroom as he was thinking about what he had just said to his friends.
'Hmm, I hope I didn't scare them too much with what I said. Maybe I should have said that in a different way, But...that's how I truly feel though. And nothing will ever change that' he thought. Just as he was about reach the bathroom door he then heard something outside.
"Hm?" he said as he ran back to the room. Takashi and Kohta saw Ross run past them and onto the balcony.
"Ross what's wrong?" Kohta said.
Ross was looking at a bridge that was a few feet away from them "I thought I heard something" he said "And I think it's coming from over there". Takashi and Kohta stopped loading the guns as they came onto the balcony as well, Takashi picked up the binoculars that were on the table as he looked through them.
"Looks like somethings going down" He said "It's just like a movie". He then passed the binoculars over to Kohta as he looked through them "It looks like something out of apocalypse now" he said as he looked over "What's that over there?" he said.
Ross walked inside as he turned on the tv.
"It could be 'them'" Ross said.
He then saw a news crew and some protesters, As well as a few police officers.
"The police will pay for this oppression!" the protest leader said "We are the people! This is all the fault of our government and of america! It's because of their new weapon development! They're responseable for the spread of the killer disease! We will bring down the establishment!"
That's when the news reporter took over.
"I'm back. The police still have the bridge barricaded. A group of people has begun to protest. They're speaking out against the police!" she said "We are still unclear as to the extent of their orgainzation".
The boys just watched the event on the tv.
"Killer disease" Takashi said.
"I guess it wasn't 'them'" Kohta said.
"This is getting worse and worse with each passing second" Ross said.
The three then saw some of the police shooting some of 'them' as they were on the bridge. That's when they saw a woman that was caring a child.
"Stop, Don't shoot! This girl and I are still alive. We're alive" that's when the child then awoke and sunk it's teeth into the woman's neck.
Everyone was horrified at what they just saw.
The protest leader then turned to his group.
"This is because of the accursed establishment! And we as citizens will rise against this!" he said, That' when one of the police officers walked over to him.
"Hey over there, Get a shot of that guy" the news reporter said.
The officer then stopped at the protest leader.
"Please leave immediately. You're all in danger here" he said. The protest leader wouldn't hear any of it "You guys are just trying to trick us! You're just trying to cover up the conspiracy involving the government and America!" he said.
The officer just looked at him emotionlessly.
"I'm giving you one more chance" he said.
However, His words fell on deaf ears.
"You won't get away with this! We will bring this establishment down!" the protest leader roared.
The officer then went for his gun.
"In order to fulfill my final duty to my government and to headquarters in maintaining public order, You have left me with no other options" he said. He then aimed his gun at the protest leaders head "The legality of this is questionable, But orders are orders".
The protest leader just looked at him "Huh?".
Bang!
That's when the station went to static as it then went to another channel. Kohta was the first to speak "They immediately changed the broadcast to something else" he said.
"This is bad. They won't be able to do anything against 'them' until it gets light outside" Takashi said.
Ross just tapped his foot.
"I wonder what they'll do next" he said, Takashi pondered a bit about it.
"Hmm, Maybe they'll-" that's when Kohta yelled.
"Takashi!" he said.
"Hm? What's up?" Takashi said, That's when he felt someone grab him from behind.
"Ha..heh. Koomuurooo" it was Shizuka.
Takashi quickly got out of her grip as he looked at her.
"Shizuka? Are you drunk?" he asked her.
"Just a teensy weensy bit. Fufuuu. Ah" she said as she turned her attention to Kohta.
"Kohta" she said.
Kohta blushed "Um, Haha" he stuttered. That's when Shizuka kissed him on the cheek as he had a massive nose bleed. Takashi quickly placed his finger over Shizuka's lips.
"Don't speak so loudly. Tone it down a notch" he said to her.
Shizuka pouted at him "Whaaat? Noo! It's so quiet outside it's scary, So I'm gonna talk like this" she said. Takashi sighed as he looked over at kohta "Be on lookout Hirano" he said as he carried Shizuka.
Kohta got up from his daze as he picked up his glasses "Ah. Okay, Okay" he said.
As Kohta was asking out to the balcony, Takashi started to pick up Shizuka.
"hyan! You're touching my butt!" Shizuka said as she was messing with his hair "You're just a little pervert Komuro! We can't have that now can we?" she said, Takashi sighed "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't enjoying this" he said.
"What are you enjoying?" a voice said.
Takashi looked on his side to see his best friend Rei.
"N-nothing" he said, Rei leaned up to his face and poked his nose "You dope" she said with a smirk before she looked around the upstairs room "Where is he?" she said.
Takashi looked at her confused.
"Who are you talking about?" he said.
Rei just gave him a bored narrow look.
"Where is my Ross?" she said, Takashi looked around the room only to see that Ross was nowhere in sight. Takashi sighed sheepishly as he looked at Rei.
"Looks like he went downstairs" he said.
Rei started to smiled widely as she walked over to the stairs.
"Then I should go find him" she said.
Takashi just stood there until Shizuka started talking.
"No fair! I wanna go first, I want to feel his body touch mine!" she said in her drunken stupor. Takashi just started to laugh a bit.
'I feel so sorry for you Ross' he thought as he took Shizuka to the other room.
-downstairs-
Ross able to slip by unnoticed by the others as he made his way to the bathroom.
"Whew, Glad that's all over. Now I can finally take my shower" he said as he walked up to the bathroom door.
However, He wasn't alone.
"Oh my, What have we here".
Ross quickly looked behind him to see Saeko in the kitchen wearing nothing but an apron and a thong. Ross sighed at the sight as he walked over to her.
"Oh, It's only you Saeko" Ross said "I thought for a moment it was Shizuka about ready to get her hands all over me considering the state that I'm in" he said. Saeko glanced up and down at Ross as a large blush came across her face.
"Well, I could understand that" she said, Ross then started to laugh.
Saeko was confused for why he was laughing, Was it because of her appearance?.
"What's so funny?" she asked.
Ross stopped laughing as he calmed down.
"Hehe, I'm terribly sorry Saeko. But I have to wonder. Aren't you a bit cold wearing that?" he said. Saeko looked at her outfit as she put her thumbs under the fabric and stretched it out showing a bit more of her breasts.
"Ohh, This was the only thing that could fit me, And I had to wash everyone's clothes so it will be some time until there done" she then looked away from Ross "This is truly shameful. I apologize".
Ross didn't say anything as he then wrapped his arms around her body.
Saeko gasped at his action.
"R-Ross, What are you?" she said.
Ross then laid his head on her shoulder.
"What your wearing isn't shameful in the slightest. You are a beautiful, No, Gorgeous woman that has every right to show off her lovely figure" he said, Saeko was starting to blush even more at his comment.
'He, He thinks I'm gorgeous' she thought. That's when she turned her body around to face him.
"Ross..." Saeko said sweetly as she looked into his brown hazel eyes.
"Yes Saeko?" Ross said still keeping his arms around her.
That's when she placed her hands on his bare chest as she leaned up to his face.
"There's something...there's something that I have to tell you. Something that I have been meaning to tell you for the past three months that we had spent together" she said. Ross tilted his head a bit "What is it?" he said.
Saeko bit her bottom lip as she thought.
'Just tell him how you really feel. It shouldn't be that hard, But...' Saeko thought as she looked away from Ross before looking back into his eyes.
Ross then placed his left hand on her cheek.
"You ok Saeko?" Ross asked in a concerned tone. Saeko just staired into his eyes as she then moved her hands to his cheeks, Ross blushed a bit by her action.
"Saeko..." Ross said.
That's when she started to lean up to his face as she started to close her eyes. When she felt his warm breath reach her lips the two of them then heard someone interrupt them.
"Oh Ross! Where are you!?".
The two of them snapped out of there embrace as Ross quickly turned to the stairs. "Shit!" he said as he looked at Saeko "Sorry, Looks like you'll have to tell me what you wanted to say another time" he said as he removed his arms from her figure and ran into the bathroom.
Saeko just stood there as she took in what had just happened. She then placed her hand on her cheek as she smiled.
'Yeah...I guess I'll have to tell you latter' She thought.
-bathroom-
Ross was in the bathtub relaxing as he closed his eyes. He had already taken a shower not too long ago, And now he was using the bathtub to relax in the warm water.
"Ahh, Now this is just what I truly needed after fighting all those zombies" he said as he put his hands behind his head.
"Hmmm, But I do wonder what Saeko wanted to tell me. Meh, It's probably nothing important" he said, As Ross was enjoying the water he then felt something touch his head. Ross then opened one of his eyes to see that it was none other than Rei who was still wearing her nightgown.
Ross jumped in surprise.
"Gah! R-Rei, What are you doing in here!?" he said. Rei didn't say anything as she just smiled at him, She then started to remove the straps on the side of her shoulders as her whole nightgown fell to the ground.
Ross gulped as he saw Rei then remove her panties as well, He then felt his breathing getting faster. "Rei, Just what are you doing?" he asked her trying his best not to look at his now naked friend.
Rei blushed as she then got into the bathtub with him.
"I just want to relax in here again just for a little while" she said with a smile.
Ross looked away from her.
"I'll get out and let you have some privacy" He said as he then stepped out of the bathtub, That's when Rei grabbed his hand.
"Don't go" she said.
Ross didn't look at her as she spoke.
"Rei, I don't want to be in here with you when your going to wash up again or relax. You need your privacy" he said, Rei just smiled at him.
"You're so sweet" she said getting his full attention.
"What was that?" he said, Rei then stood up as she wrapped her arms around his body. "I said you're so sweet" she said as she laid her head on his shoulder.
"It's one of the reasons why I love you".
Ross was speechless at what she just said.
"Wait...did you just say that-" Ross was cut off as he felt Rei's lips touch his. Rei held onto his body tightly as she mover her tongue into his mouth.
Ross didn't know what to think, He had so many things running threw his head all at once. Rei then stopped kissing him as she looked into his eyes.
"I said that I love you Ross" Rei said "I have always loved you since I first met you, I love how you always try your best to protect us, How your so kind to us, How you always risk your life to help someone".
She then kissed his neck as she nuzzled him.
"And I won't ever stop loving you, No matter what".
Ross finally snapped out of his daze as he then had a smirk appear on his face.
"Rei, That's..heh. I don't even know what to say to that" he said. Rei then started blushing as she let her hands go down his body.
"I think I can answer that for you" she said as she brought him back into the bathtub. As soon as Ross sat back down in the warm water Rei instantly laid next to him as she placed her head on his chest.
She then leaned up so she could face him as she leaned to his face and kissed him deeply. Ross placed his hands oh her back as he held her close, Rei moved her hands to his cheeks as she stopped for a bit to catch her breath.
"You'll always have a special place in my heart Ross" Rei said.
Ross kissed her nose making her blush even more.
"Well, You'll always have a special place in my heart as well Rei" he said.
Rei then traced her finger on his chest.
"Even if...you don't pick me to be your girlfriend?" she said.
This caught Ross by surprise.
"What, What do you mean pick you?" he said. Rei sighed a bit as she then thought of what to say.
"Ross, I...I need to tell you something" she said.
