Anyway enjoy more shit going down!

Meanwhile back at the mall, As the group was waiting for the others to come back. Saeko, Saya, Rei, And Alice went over to the bike shop. They had decided to give Alice her very own bike to ride.

"Really?" Rei said as she looked at Alice "Are you alright? Are your legs long enough?".

Alice nodded as she was getting herself situated on one of the bikes.

"I'll be fine dummy!" Alice said.

Saeko then leaned down and rubbed Zeke's head.

"Remember to respect those older than yourself" she said.

Alice smiled as she playfully stuck out her tongue.

"Sorry" she said happily.

Saya then leaned over to her.

"Are you sure you wouldn't rather just ride on the back of Kohta's bike?" she asked her.

Alice turned to her and smiled.

"I'm fine, Alright" she said as she started to place her feet on the petals "Here I go!".

Saeko, Saya, Rei, Yuuki, Shizuka, Emi, Daichi, And Koukennin all watched her as Alice took off.

Rei, Saya, And Saeko panicked a bit as they watched Alice ride off, Koukennin just watched the whole thing with a smile on his face. Alice was riding her bike down the mall as she then did a forward stop.

"hup, All right" Alice said as she stopped her bike, She then turned the bike to the side to see a ramp like set of stairs. She then smiled as she then road her bike into the clothing store.

Saeko and Rei panicked.

"Ah, Look out!" Rei said, Koukennin then placed his hand on her shoulder.

"huh?".

"Relax Miss Miyamoto. She'll be fine" Koukennin reassured her.

"But what if she-" Saeko was cut off as Koukennin then pointed at Alice "Just watch" he said.

The two then saw Alice as she road her bike into the store as she hopped the bike onto one of ramp like steps, The girls were impressed.

"Oh my" Rei said.

"Very well done indeed" Saeko said.

Saya just had her arms crossed.

"I wonder if she'll let me ride on the back" Saya said to herself, They then saw Alice ride back to them.

"Did you see that!" Alice said.

Koukennin clapped his hands as he rubbed Alice's head.

"Haha! We sure did!" he said "That was very good, Keep it up and you just might go pro".

Alice smiled brightly.

"Thank you uncle Koukennin!" she said as she hugged him "I hope angel gets back soon, I wanna show him too".

Koukennin smiled.

"Well, I'm sure tha-" that's when they heard footsteps come into the room, Everyone turned to see Asami, Kaz, Ross, And Reikokuna. Alice smiled as she quickly ran over to them.

"Angel! Your back!" Alice said "I wanna show you so-".

Alice stopped talking as she looked up at Ross, Ross had his black long hair as some of the strands of his hair shadowed his eyes. She could also see a few dried up tear stains on his face as well. Alice then placed her hand over his right hand.

"Angel..." Alice said worriedly.

Ross just glanced at her as he then started to walk away from the others, Alice followed him as she held onto his right arm.

"Angel what happened?" Alice said "What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?".

Ross still didn't speak to her as he kept walking, He then gave Shizuka the plasma.

"Here's the plasma..." Ross said in an upset tone.

Shizuka looked at the plasma as she then glanced back up at Ross.

"Hunny what's wrong? Did something happen while you were out?" she asked him, Ross sighed as he turned around. He then glanced at Alice who was still holding onto his right arm.

"I wanna know too!" Alice said a bit upset that she was seeing Ross not in his cheerful mood, Ross then formed a fake smile as he leaned down and hugged her.

"It's ok, I'm alright" he said.

Alice just shook her head.

"No your not! I know that you're lying. Why are you so sad angel?" she said as she held onto his arm tighter.

Ross sighed, He really didn't want to tell her what had happened. But he really wanted to give his older brother a piece of his mind, As well as a piece of his foot up his ass. Ross then patted Alice on the head as he stood up.

"I'll tell you everything latter Alice, Right now. I need to have a word with Reikokuna, In private" Ross said.

Alice then turned to Reikokuna and glared at him.

"What did you do to angel?" she demanded.

Reikokuna was leaning back on the wall as he glanced at her.

"Oh that's cold, Why would you think that I had something to do with it?" he said.

"Because your an asswhole and nobody here trusts you" Kaz said.

Reikokuna glared at Kaz.

"Did I ask for your insult, You stupid shit?" Reikokuna said to Kaz, Kaz rolled his eyes at him.

"Just wanted to add my two cents Reikokuna" Kaz said with a smile.

Reikokuna was about to say something, But he then felt Ross pulling him by the arm as he dragged him into another room. Everyone else just watched as Rei, Saya, Saeko, Yuuki, Asami, Takashi, Kohta, And Kaz followed.

- the break room-

Ross was dragging Reikokuna by the arm until they walked into the break room. Ross then threw his brother into the room into one of the tables. Reikokuna got to his feet.

"The fuck was that for!?" he said.

Ross gritted his teeth.

"We need to talk!" he yelled.

Reikokuna's eyes then turned sky blue.

"It's not like we have anything to talk about" he said.

"Oh yes we do! We need to talk about what happened!".

"Why!? Nothing's gonna-".

"You killed Hiro!".

Reikokuna just crossed his arms.

"He was in the way! There was nothing we could have-".

"No! We were doing fine until YOU fucked it up for us! Everything was going according to plan, Then you shout making all of 'Them' come after us! Then get impatient and drag Hiro to his death! He would be here right now. But no, You had to be a little shit!".

"Oh fuck you! He took his time. It was truly his own fault that he got himself killed in the end! If you had let me go first, Then we wouldn't be having this stupid conversation".

"No! That's not it. If you had been a better older brother, Then you would have put in some fucking effort back at the clinic. But I have the worst luck to be dealing with an older brother who has a damn superiority complex!".

That's when Reikokuna grabbed Ross by the collar of his shirt.

"Say that again, I fucking dare you to say that again!" he said.

Ross smirked as his eyes went bright yellow.

"My older brother has a damn superiority complex" he said mockingly.

That's when Reikokuna flared up his fire all around his body.

"That is it! I've had it with you!".

Ross then activated his lightning.

"Then we're on the same page!".

The two gritted their teeth as they glared into each other's eyes. The others were worried about Ross's safety. That's when Asami ran into the room.

"Stop it both of you!" she said "Nobody wants to talk about what happened".

That's when Ross and Reikokuna both glared at her. Asami was in utter fear of the boys, Their glares sending shivers down her spine.

"GET OUT!" Ross and Reikokuna yelled.

Asami flinched as Kohta and Kaz grabbed her out of the room and quickly closed the door and locked it on the other side. The boys then glared at each other again.

"Enough of this!" Reikokuna said "Let's settle this once and for all".

Ross showed him his wicked smile.

"Gladly! Let's go!" he said.

That's when Reikokuna shoved him into the wall, Ross then charged at Reikokuna as he tackled him to the ground. Reikokuna smiled as he kicked Ross in the chest, He then created his flame sword as he then held it backwards.

"Gun flame!" Reikokuna yelled as he then stabbed his flame sword into the ground and sent out a shockwave at Ross. Ross gritted his teeth as he blocked the attack, Then he charged up a lightning ball in his right hand. It then started to form into a lightning spear.

"Now! Raijin's lightning spear!" Ross yelled as he then threw his lightning spear at Reikokuna, Knocking him into a pillar and sending him into the wall.

Reikokuna got up from the impact as he licked the blood from his lower lip and smiled.

"YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT!" he shouted as he charged at Ross, Ross smiled as he charged at Reikokuna.

"JUST WATCH ME!" Ross yelled.

The two then clashed their elemental swords as they gritted their teeth at each other, As the two were fighting. The others just watched them from the other side through the glass.

"This isn't good" Saeko said worriedly.

Rei just held her hands close to her chest.

"Reikokuna is just pushing Ross's buttons every chance he gets" she said.

Saeko sighed.

"That man is nothing more than a savage" she said.

Saya nodded as she crossed her arms.

"If Reikokuna keeps this up, Then he'll cause Ross to have a huge major breakdown. It doesn't matter how tough a person is. That's what causes P.T.S.D!" she said.

Kaz then spoke up.

"It's not just Reikokuna that would be causing Ross's breakdown" he said, Everyone looked at him.

"What do you mean?" Yuuki said.

Kaz then placed his hand under his chin.

"Well besides Reikokuna, Their's also 'Them' as well".

"But 'They' don't truly count" Rei said.

Kaz sighed.

"Or so we've decided to think! We need to protect our sanity, After all. I don't know who it was, But I'd like to thank whoever came up with the idea of calling them 'Them'. I think...whoever came up with that realized that we'd have to keep fighting against these 'Things' that look like people" Kaz said.

Rei then thought about Hisashi a bit, Since he was the one who thought the name for 'Them'. Saeko then spoke up.

"I certainly agree with you Kaz...but is that all you were getting at?" she asked.

"Of course he's not!" Saya said.

Kaz nodded at her.

"Correct, When I was separated from my family...I fully accepted how everything changed. I'm sure that Ross helps make all this pain bearable for all of you" Kaz said.

The girls then thought about Ross as small blushes came across there faces, Kaz then turned to Ross and Reikokuna.

"But...to see him like this. To see him fighting with his older brother, It's not healthy for his own sake" Kaz said.

"Um...what about Marikawa and Alice?" Yuuki said.

"Nurse Marikawa has many responsibilities. She's our driver, A physician, An an adult" Saeko said "Those responsibilities are her escape, As well as her love for Ross".

"As for that munchkin" Saya said.

That's when they heard footsteps, They all turned to see Alice, Shizuka, And Koukennin walk over to them. Alice then ran over to Saya.

"What? Saya, Who's a muchkin?" she asked her.

Saya playfully smiled at her.

"Oh that would be..." she then grabbed Alice's cheeks "You, Obviously" she said.

Alice cried.

"Ow! That hurts!" she said, That's when she looked at the glass window to see Ross and Reikokuna fighting.

"Angel!" Alice said as she got out of Saya's grip and ran over to the glass window, Koukennin quickly grabbed her.

"No Alice, You can't interfere" he said "Let him handle this".

Alice looked at him.

"But!" she said.

Koukennin then picked her up.

"It's alright, My son can handle him" he said as he walked over the group. Koukennin then glanced at his son "Although, I am worried about Ross".

"I know what you mean sir" Kohta said "I just hope Ross doesn't become a danger to himself, I mean he's snapped before after Saya got hurt. But who knows how far he'll go if this keeps going on".

Everyone thought about that moment when Ross lost it, It was truly frighting to see him go on a rampage. But with his brother Reikokuna endlessly taunting him, As well as 'Them' killing people, And not to mention his own mother pulling the strings behind this whole ordeal. It would be enough to break any person.

"What can we do?" Rei said in a worried tone.

Saeko then walked past her.

"That's easy. We just have to do everything we can, As companions to him" she said.

Rei was taken back by this.

"Wh-what do you mean by that?" she said.

Saeko turned to her as she smiled.

"All I mean is that I don't intend to forget that I'm of the female sex" she said.

Rei had so many questions running through her head, The group then sat down in the next room. Asami was sitting next to Kohta .

"Asami will do everything she can, Too" she said "At least until Matsushima gets back from headquarters to help us, Asami will stay here and do her best to work with everybody".

That's when they heard a loud crash.

"What was that!?" Takashi said.

Koukennin quickly got to his feet and started running.

"Dammit!" he said.

The others followed him, They all ran back into the other room to see Reikokuna on the ground covered in glass shards bleeding. He was covered in bruises from head to toe. They then looked to see Ross panting as he was also covered in the same bruises as his brother, Although a bit worse. He was in his bloodlust drive form as his black raven hair was a mess.

"Ross!" the girls yelled as they ran to him.

Ross then felt his body give out, The girls quickly got him as he fell into their arms. They all then went to the other room, Koukennin walked over to Reikokuna as he stood over him.

"Looks like he kicked your ass" Koukennin said with a grin, Reikokuna just spat some of his blood at him.

"Sh-shut your mouth..." he said "The little brat got lucky this time".

Koukennin then leaned down to his face.

"Looks like he's becoming the thing you fear the most" he said as he then walked away from him, Reikokuna slowly got to his feet as he panted heavily.

"No...he will never become better than me!" Reikokuna said.

-the other room-

The girls were taking care of Ross as he was licking his own wounds.

"Here, You could use some nourishment!" Rei said as she gave him a small bottle, Ross smiled.

"Thanks, Rei. I coul-" that's when Saeko looked at the bottle.

"That's a sexual stimulant" she said.

Rei quickly blushed.

"No, Uh. No! I didn't mean..." Rei stuttered, Ross just started laughing.

"Haha! Wow Rei, Am I really that bad?" he said jokingly, The other girls looked at Rei and gave her jealous glares. They really wanted to be the first to have sex with Ross. But that was taken away from them by Rei.

Rei then looked away from him as she poked her two index fingers together.

"Hun...y-you know we didn't go that far..." she said blushing madly, This caught everyone by surprise.

"Wait! You mean to tell me that you two didn't have sex!?" Yuuki said.

Both Ross and Rei shook there heads at them.

"Nope" Ross said.

"I wasn't fully ready for that just yet" Rei said as she looked away, The other girls then smirked a bit.

'Then their's still a chance' Saya, Yuuki, Saeko, And Shizuka thought as they all blushed at there chance to have sex with Ross.

The boys just sighed.

"God, Never a dull moment with you guys huh?" Kaz said.

Kohta laughed.

"Nope! Never" he said.

"Kohta?".

Kohta then turned to Asami.

"Asami's feeling a lot better now" she said.

"Oh, That's good" Kohta said.

Asami smiled.

"Asami remembers when she was in the academy they used to always tell everybody to talk with a superior after coming back from a really bad crime scene, Because otherwise it'd just be too painful!" she said.

"But...Asami's a full force police officer, But she's so useless..." she said.

Kohta just shook his head.

"Nakoaka...I mean Asami really, You're incredible!" he said.

Asami smiled.

"Kohta..." she said with a huge smile and a small blush on her face. That's when she realized something.

"Uh, Uh, Are you going to leave soon?" she asked him.

"We need to find our friends families" Kohta said.

"Um, But, Um. I-if you're worried about what Asami can do, She'll do anything and everything for you" Asami said as she held onto Kohta's hand. Kohta was blushing madly.

He then released his hands from hers.

"Uhh, Er, Um. I...already have companions I'm with" he said with a smile.

Asami was in shock, Everyone was worried about her. Kohta freaked a bit.

"I-I'm sorry" he said.

Asami didn't say anything as she glanced back at him.

"It's okay. Asami had a feeling you'd say something like that" she said.

Everyone sighed, That's when Ross walked over to them.

"Come with us" he said.

Asami just looked at him in disbelief.

"W-what?" Asami said.

Ross smiled at her.

"Come with us and join our band of companions" he said.

Everyone was in shock, Kohta then stood up from his seat.

"You mean it!? She can be a part of our group!?" he said, Ross nodded at him.

"Yup! I mean every word" Ross said.

That's when he felt Asami and Kohta hug him tightly.

"Oh thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Asami and Kohta said in unison, Ross smiled brightly.

"N-no problem guys..." he said with what little oxygen he had left, The others just looked at them.

"Well I guess Asami is now part of the team" Kaz said "I think that's great".

Rei nodded.

"Yeah, I think so too" she said.

However, Zeke started sniffing as he then ran to the window.

"Zeke! What's up?" Alice said as she ran after him, Zeke then stopped at the window as he started barking. Alice looked out the window to see what he was barking at.

"Ah...".

Everyone then ran over to her.

"Alice?" Kohta said.

"P-police lady...over there..." Alice said.

Kohta and Asami looked out the window, Kohta was in shock.

"Don't tell me that's..." he said.

Asami however.

"No! N-no! What!? That can't- no! No! This can't be happening! Matsushima! How!? Why!?" she said as she banged her fists on the glass as she started crying "She didn't make it to the police station...she got killed after she left!".

The rest of the group held there heads down, That's when they all heard Reikokuna walk toward them.

"Is that so?" he said "Looks like our mother's virus killed her in the end".

Asami turned to him.

"Wha-what did you say?..." she said.

Ross and Koukennin knew what Reikokuna was doing.

"Shut your mouth! You don't know what you're talking about!" Ross said.

Reikokuna just smirked as he then looked out the window.

"The virus, This killer disease. It's all thanks to our wonderful mother. She created this virus as a part of her work, And it seems that even the police have lost to it" he said.

"Reikokuna enough!" Koukennin said.

Reikokuna then leaned to Asami's ear.

"And since your officer is down, Then that means" he said with a smile formed on his face.

"Then that means there's nobody, COMING TO HELP YOU ALL! Hahahaha!".

Everyone in Asami's group was in total shock, They now all knew the reason behind the outbreak. It was the cause of Koukennin's ex-wife.

Asami felt completely broken, The man that she had trusted, As well as his son. They...they were the cause of all of this. They were the ones to blame.

"No...then it was all for nothing!" Asami said in a defeated tone "A-Asa-Asami can't..." she stuttered. Kohta came to her side.

"Asami!" Kohta said.

Asami turned to him with a broken expression on her face, Her eyes were short, And her expression was full of fear and betrayal.

"Kohta. Asa-Asami-no, I mean, Asami-Asami" she said still in her shock, That's when Rei noticed the other members of Asami's group walk away.

'Oh no! They now know' Rei thought.

That's when Asami started to run.

"No! No! Ahhh!" she cried, Kohta called out to her.

"Asami!" he said.

Everyone just watched as Kohta was tried his best to try and calm her down.

"Asami! Where are you going-" he was quickly cut off by her.

"Don't try to act like a good person all of a sudden! You four eyed pig!" she spat.

Kohta was shocked that she would turn like that.

"Wh-".

"Asami-! Just needs Asami-! So Asami-!".

That's when Ross stepped forward.

"Asami, You don't have t-".

That's when Asami aimed her glare at him.

"Shut your mouth you traitor!" she said.

Ross was surprised at what she just called him.

"T-traitor...".

"How could you do this to us!? How could your family do all of this!? Why would you do this!?".

Ross looked away from her.

"I didn't know about this when I was young..." he said "I never even knew my mother when I was born".

Asami shouted at him.

"Stop it! Don't lie to me!" she said "You and your father knew all along, And didn't tell us. I..I trusted you...and you kept this from all of us. Y-your...a heartless killer!".

She then tightened her fists.

"I...I hope that you, Your father, Your brother, Your mother! I hope you all burn in hell for what you've done to us!" she then ran off and up to the roof. Ross and Kohta were both speechless as they just stood there.

"Ross..." Kohta said in a heartbroken tone.

Ross then charged up his lightning as he slowly turned to Reikokuna.

"BASTERED!".

Reikokuna was leaning on the window as he was rubbing his long white hair.

"Yes little bro-" Reikokuna was quickly silenced as Ross punched him in the face, Sending him flying out of the two stoy mall.

Ross was panting as he kept his fist tightened.

"You did that on purpose" Ross said darkly, That's when he saw Reikokuna flying a few feet away from him.

"Hmm, Kinda. Just a little present I call payback" he said with a smile "But I'll leave you be, For now anyway". He then flew around the mall to the other side.

Ross then sighed as he then turned to his friends.

"Ross..." Kaz said.

Ross then walked away from his friends.

"I...need some time alone..." he said as he walked off, Everyone knew how he was upset at what Asami had called him. Not only that, But just about everything else was starting to catch up with him. And it was showing.

Takashi then looked over at Kohta.

"Hirano. The plan...is tomorrow" he said "We're leaving".

Kohta just looked at the ground as he smirked a bit.

"That's pretty sudden, Don't you think?" he said.

Saya then walked past him.

"If you disagree then say so!" she said "And by the way, That other group heard what Reikokuna had just said! Get it! Now they know that no one's going to come help them! They are now going to go after the Hikatori's".

Koukennin panicked when Saya said that, He then started to walk away from the others.

'Shit! I better find Ross and fast!' he thought.

-meanwhile with the other group-

"The police should be protecting us!" Akane shouted.

The other group had now found out about who the real threat was behind the outbreak, And they were losing their minds.

Jurou snorted.

"Don't get your hopes up! The police these days are a bunch of lazy asses!" he said.

Akane tightened her fists.

"What do we do now!?" she said.

"We should find a safe place" one young survivor said, Akane just looked at him.

"And where would that be!?" she said.

That's when another survivor pondered something.

"How would we get there? Cars don't work anymore, You know?" he said "If we tried walking, That old lady would probably die just like the police woman".

That's when Akane thought of something.

"Those kids! Let's go together with the kids until we find the police" she said.

"I don't know about that..." Shimada said "Those bastards don't care about anybody but themselves. Think about it. We all know we still have a chance of getting everything back to normal, But they're already toting guns around and doing whatever they feel like. They're even getting bikes ready at the back exit so they can leave".

Akane then crossed her arms.

"They did stop you from raping that one woman though" she said.

That's when Shimada got from his seat.

"Wanna say that again, Bitch!?" he said.

Akane then glared at him.

"Who are you calling a bitch!?" she said.

"You, Bitch!" Shimada said.

That's when Kaito got into the conversation.

"Cut it out! The point is we can't rely on those kids!" he said.

"Kids these days are a bunch of lazy asses!" Jurou said.

Kaito then sighed.

"Anyway, We need to get out of here and find a safe place" he said.

Shimada placed his hands on his side.

"Seriously? We have tons of food and water here! As long as we keep the entrances closed off the monsters won't get in!" he said.

Akane then looked at him.

"How about we stay until all of that is gone!? Only thing we don't have enough of here is women for you to violate!" she said.

Shimada shouted at her.

"Shut the fuck up!".

Just then.

"You're gonna die".

Akane, Kaito, And Shimada looked over at Kenta. Kenta then stood up as he held his knife.

"H-hey now, What are you saying?" Kaito said.

Kenta smiled.

"You're all gonna die. Reikokuna made a good point, Nobody's gonna save us! There's no 'Safe place'! You're gonna die!" he said "And you're all gonna turn into monsters!".

"Hey, Don't go bunching us all together like that" the one survivor said.

Kenta grinned.

"I'm a huge fan of zombie movies! So I know everything! Those high school kids are going to be eaten! It doesn't matter if they have guns! It doesn't make any bit of difference! You can't do a thing! Not even that other Hikatori guy can save them!" Kenta said "Hahaha! Humanity is doomed! Either by those zombies, Or by Reikokuna!".

That's when Jurou threw his cigarette on the floor.

"Movies aren't real! Your parents must be ashamed of you!" he said.

As the two of them were fighting, Emi and Daichi were walking away. Shimada then spotted them.

"Where do you think you're going?" he asked them.

Daichi and Emi smiled.

"Well...I was just thinking it would be good if we got some fresh air on the roof" Daichi said.

"How can you be so level headed at a time like this?" Shimada said.

"Well, I guess we just are" Emi said as they both walked away, Shimada just shook his head.

"Old bastereds" he said "There has to be something,. It's bad enough that we have to deal with those highschool shits, As well as those two other...".

That's when he had an idea.

"Hold on!".

That's when he got Everyone's attention.

"What is it now!?" Kaito said.

Shimada smiled.

"What if we use Koukennin's kids?" he said, Everyone thought about the idea.

"Y-yea, You're right for once!" Akane said "Those two are basically super weapons. If we could get a hold of them, Then we'll be set against those monsters!".

Kaito just looked at her.

"You want to put our trust in those demons!?" he said "Didn't you hear what Koukennin's first born said. His wife is the cause of all this, What makes you think that they'll help us!? Plus, We can't rely on that one child. He'll just kill us when he gets the chance".

"But what about the other one? The one that has lightning?" Jurou said "We can use him to power the cars, As well as kill those undead. He's perfect".

Shimada then crossed his arms.

"All right, We'll get that other Hikatori kid to stay with us. He'll be our perfect defense against those monsters" he said.

-meanwhile-

Koukennin was running around the mall trying to find Ross.

"Dammit, I've been all over the place. And I haven't seen him" he said to himself, He then turned another corner as he then heard the sound of glass breaking.

"Ross!" Koukennin said as he went to the sound.

-jewelry section-

Koukennin followed the sound of the broken glass into the jewelry store, As he walked in he saw Ross breaking the glass cases.

"Ross" Koukennin said.

Ross was breaking another glass case as he then turned to his father.

"Huh? Oh hey dad" Ross said as he looked through the cases and pulled out some jewelry. Koukennin just had a puzzled look on his face.

"Uhh, This would be the last place that I would find you of all people" he said as he walked over to him "So what are you doing in here?".

Ross pulled out some jewelry as he looked at it.

"Just getting something for the girls" he said.

Koukennin just crossed his arms.

"As well as Asami?" he asked.

Ross then stopped, He didn't want to really hear her name at the moment.

"Please...not now dad" Ross said with a bit of hurt in his voice, Koukennin regretted his choice of words.

"I'm sorry" he said.

Ross then turned to him.

"It's alright" he said as he went back to looking through the broken class cases, That's when he smiled brightly.

"Yes! Found them!" he said as he grabbed what he wanted, Koukennin just looked at him.

"What did you find?" he asked him.

Ross then examined his prizes.

"Something that I think the girls will love for a very long time" he said.

-elsewhere-

"Y-you hid the weapons here?" Rei said.

Takashi, Kohta, And Kaz sheepishly smiled as they pulled out the weapons.

"Yup! We sure did" Kaz said.

Saya crossed her arms.

"Which one of you came up with this?" she asked, Kaz then pointed to Takashi and Kohta.

"They did" Kaz said with a smirk. Takashi and Kohta just had there mouths drop.

"Traitor!" they both said, Kaz just stuck his tongue out at them.

Saeko smiled.

"Heh, Not a bad idea" she said.

"I think it's a good hiding place, Though" Rei said.

Yuuki giggled.

"Only someone with titanie breasts would have any reason to look in there" she said.

Kaz then looked at his pistol.

"We don't have even 150 rounds for the rifle. If we start shooting we're going to run out fast. If we want to keep using these, We'll need to find some more ammo some how" he said.

"I don't think the police or self defense force would give us any. Maybe we could find it...at a gun shop?" Takashi said.

"It's probably been looted already, So I wouldn't hope for much" Kohta said.

Takashi looked at him.

"Hey Hirano, I can understand why you're in a bad mood, But-" Takashi was cut off by Kohta.

"But what!?" Kohta said.

"If there's anything you want to say, Say it. I don't want to be your enemy. I'd rather keep my life".

Kohta and Kaz sighed at him, That's when Kaz chuckled a bit.

"Heh, You give up pretty easily, Komuro" Kaz said.

Takashi smiled.

"I guess so" he said.

Rei then spoke up.

"Um...about the ammo" Rei said "I can use my gun like a spear and if we shoot, 'They' will surround us anyway. So even without ammo, We should be-".

"Without ammo though, I can't fight like you, Busujima, Hideki, Or Hikatori" Kohta said.

That's when Rei realized her mistake.

"I-I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean-" that's when Kaz spoke to her.

"Rei".

"Hm?".

"Don't sweat the small stuff like that. Everyone's having a tough time, So it's not a big deal" he said.

Rei nodded at him.

"Okay" she said.
