Title: The Breakout (it's a working title)
Rating: R – NC17
Genre: Survival Horror
Author's Note:
WARNING This fiction may contain possible deaths of members. Read at your own risk.
This idea came to me a few months ago and I never had the intention on writing this down but because I promise a friend of mine that if she'll update her fic, I'll start writing it.
____________________________________________________________________
Prologue
It was eight in the evening and in a certain dance studio, people inside are still practicing. They started at early morning and by noon, some of the members have already left to go to their separate works. The remaining members haven’t left the room since, putting their full focus to their routines.
“Again. From the top.” A small girl yelled to a room full of exhaust girls. After hearing the command of their general manager, they dragged their worn out bodies to their respective spots. They wanted to complain for dancing nonstop for two hours without any breaks, but they all knew what will happen if they didn’t follow her.
“Takamina’s more of an S than you are, ne Mariko?” A brown haired girl said, leaning her tired body to a tall girl’s shoulder.
“So does that make us M’s?” Mariko replied while pouring down the sports drink down to her mouth, drinking like there’s no tomorrow.
“We better go to our places now, Yuko.” The two girls pushed their bodies off the bench and went to their respective teammates. As the captain of team K, Yuko clapped her hands to gather the attention of her remaining members while Mariko went to the general manager and fellow teammate’s side.
Mariko then said “I know that you’re nervous for the upcoming concert, but let them take a break. Not only them, but you as well. You had been dancing since morning. Don’t push yourself too hard, Takamina.”
Takamina wiped the sweat from her forehead and looks up to Mariko.
“OK... but after we finish this routine.” Takamina responded. It was their new and upcoming single which will be performed for the first time. The overall performance so far is still not ready to perform in front of an audience.
“Fine.... Hey guys, after we’re done with this, let’s have a 30 minutes break.” The members then quickly went to their places, anticipating for the break given. They gave their remaining energy as the intro of the song played.
After the end of the song, Takamina turned around and loudly said “Ok 30 minutes break. But we still need to work on Sayonara Crawl.”
The girls then went to their bags and sat down at the floor to rest their sore legs and back. Yuki, Mayu and Sashihara fell asleep at the side, ignoring the chatter of Paruru with her team captain Ayaka while Kitahara, Ami and Sayaka ate their bento.
“You’re really working us till we drop dead Takamina.” A black haired girl breathed heavily while laying flat on the floor.
“Miichan’s right. I can’t feel my legs.” Haruna massaged her thighs while sitting next to the tired girl. Takamina stared at her two companions as both of them pant heavily. Maybe she’s been too hard on them, but as the sokantoku, she has her responsibilities. She needs to make sure that everything is ready for the concert.
“Yo Takamina, Miichan, Haruna.” A certain genki approached the trio.
“Sae-chan I haven’t seen you in a while since you transfer to Shanghai. It’s too bad that the other overseas transfer can’t be here” Miichan sat up to greet Sae.
“Too bad? They’re lucky they’re not here. Takamina’s killing us.” Haruna said which earn her a glare from Takamina.
“Nah it’s ok. I really miss practicing like this. It’s been a while since I sweat like this.” Sae gave a smile to the trio. They look at her and know that Sae really miss being with AKB after her decision to transfer.
“You know, Sayaka really miss you.” Miichan can see the smile slowly fading away from Sae’s face. She had heard her decision to graduate through Sayaka’s blog and she felt guilty about it. She always knew the transfer will affect her friend and she doesn’t know if this is her fault.
“I’ll talk to you later. I have to go talk to her.” Sae smiled again and left them. Then, two girls approached them, carrying towels in their hands.
“Hi two Tomos.” Miichan waved at the two while they sat beside them.
“I’m going to miss these long and tiring practices.” Tomomi~ wiped her face with the towel while Tomochin stares at her. This will be her last concert before graduating.
“Don’t be sad Tomochin. We’re still going to see each other. And besides, you’re graduating too. Chiyuu~” Tomochin~ wrapped her arms around her friend, comforting her.
“We’re going to miss you guys.” Miichan said teary eyed.
“Don’t be such a cry baby Miichan. Just like Tomomi~ said, we’re still going to see each other.” Haruna said as she looks at the two Tomos.
It’s another reason why Takamina wants this concert to be perfect, it’s not just any ordinary concert, this will be Tomomi~’s last concert. She wants a concert to be the best not only for Tomomi~ but also for the fans. Spending 7 years in the group, she deserves a memorable concert.
“Are you ready Tomomi~?” Takamina asked as she sat at the floor to join her friends.
A simple nod was Tomomi~’s short reply to their sokantoku.
25 minutes had past and everyone hasn’t recovered from their last session. Miichan, Haruna and Takamina was now prepping their things to get ready while the others are chatting with each other. Suddenly, Sato Amina entered the room running, catching the attention of all of the girls.
“What happen to you?” Yuko immediately went to her side and gave her bottled water. Soon enough, the girls gathered around her.
“Oh….. it’s….. nothing.” She said in between breaks as she catches her breath.
“What happen to your arm?” Sayaka noticed the scratch on her right shoulder. The wound created a shallow cut which appears to be created by a sharp pointed object. “Let me get the first aid kit.”
Sayaka left while the rest of the girls led her to side benches. Amina stabilized her breathing as Sayaka came back with a first aid kit and handed it over to Yuki.
“I was walking outside to take some fresh air but then, this guy came towards me. He looks a really pale and he walks a little funny, I think his drunk. Then, he suddenly took my shoulder…. and I tried to shake him off but he has a strong grip on me.” Amina said as Yuki treats her wounds. “But I’m ok now so it’s not a big deal.”
“IT is a big deal. What if that guy did something to you? What if you didn’t get away?” Takamina said worryingly. For the past 7 years, she has been looking out for each and every member. She treats them like family and it’s hard to see someone get hurt.
“Don’t worry about it. It’s just a scratch.” Amina helped Yuki strap the bandage to her shoulder. She can see the concern in Takamina’s eyes, making her feel grateful.
“Let’s have another 30 minutes break. You need to rest.” Takamina said to Amina.
“No. It’s just a scratch, it’s not life threatening.” Amina smiled to her and she stood up from the bench and walk over to her respective spot.
The rest of the girls went and followed her. Seeing Amina’s determination, they all wanted to do their best too.
After an hour of perfecting Sayonara Crawl, they headed the last group hurdle for today’s session. It was getting late and all of the members are all tired. As usual, Takamina led the group and gave a few reminders.
“Today’s AKB practice is a success. We are now done with Sayonara Crawl. The setlist is now complete with SKE and NMB had their practice yesterday. And tomorrow I want you-. “ Takamina didn’t finish her sentence when she can see Amina looking a little pale.
“Are you alright? You’re really sweating. Do you have a fever?” Takamina walk over to check for her temperature.
“Y-Y-Yeah I-I’m fine.” She shivered and clutched tightly to her jacket.
“You’re burning up. We need to get you to a hospital.” Takamina felt Amina’s burning forehead and help her get up.
“N-No I-It’s fine. J-Just let me rest for a while. I’ll be fine.” She closed her eyes and quickly went to sleep.
Takamina, seeing the poor little girl body shiver, took her jacket and put it on Amina. Then, she went back to finish the announcement.
“Just what I was saying, the sister groups had their own practice yesterday and they will be joining us for the final rehearsal and-“ Takamina stopped and looked towards to Amina who is now standing from her position.
“Amina, are you sure you’re alright?” Amina didn’t respond, she opened her eyes revealing a fade color pupil.
“Oh my god, we really need to go to the hospital. Come here.” Takamina walked towards her, she can see the swollen wound under the bandage and the paleness of her skin. Her friend turned her head towards her and slowly steps forward.
Suddenly, her friend charges forward her, pinning her into the ground. She was overpowered, the weight pressing down on her was too hard to push, she grabs her friends shoulder and takes her friend within arm’s length as she keeps lunging her head towards hers.
“What the-“ Takamina was struggling to keep her friend from crushing her and then, Sayaka grabbed Amina to separate them. The other girls, shocked at what’s going on, stand back from the scene.
“What are you doing?” Amina now lunge towards Sayaka but she stopped her coming closer. She looks carefully the odd behavior she’s showing as she keeps on diving her mouth .With a last push, the girl loses her balance and fell to the ground.
While the girl was down, Takamina stood up and was going to help Amina, but was stopped by Sayaka.
“Don’t.”
“But-“
“Can’t you see that something is wrong with her?” Takamina looks over Amina, who is now slowly standing up, she gets ready to run full speed, but Sayaka quickly went back to her and hold her arms together.
“Yuko, grab that rope at the corner.” Sayaka kept a firm grip as she tries to break from Sayaka’s grasp.
“Why? What are you going to do?” Takamina took a long look at Sayaka, wondering if it is necessary. Amina is just sick, she doesn’t need to go that far.
“Just go get it. She isn’t stable and she might hurt us.” Sayaka kept a secure hold of her arms.
“Guys, what’s going on?” Miichan said as she looks terrified at the situation.
“Miichan, call an ambulance right now.” Without any question, Miichan quickly took her cell phone from her bag and dialed the hospital. It kept ringing and ringing, but no one on the other line answered.
“I can’t get through.” Miichan tried again and again but to no avail.
“I’ll call the management downstairs.” Takamina dialed the number of the management, but just like Miichan, it just kept ringing.
“No one’s answering.” Takamina tried again, the member took their own phones and tries to call their own management. They feel anxious as all of them can’t reach anyone.
As the group began to panic, Takamina glances at the close window. It was already late and the street is dark, but that’s not what surprises her. She can see a woman being chase by three men. They got blood on their hands and clothes and the woman got a wound her arm. She kept running and running until they corner her, the woman kept on screaming for help but no one came.
The three men ignore the cornered woman screams and they walk towards her. The woman kept yelling as she is being surrounded. Takamina saw the whole scene before her eyes and she was frozen on her place.
She can’t speak and she can’t move. She loses her grip on her phone and it fell to the ground. The other members stopped and look at her, confuse on what’s happening. Mariko quickly went to her side to see what’s happening with Takamina.
“What’s go-?” Before she can ask, she saw the same scene Takamina just witness. She quickly closed the curtain and took Takamina away from the window. They both look at each other, as if they can read each other’s mind.
“You saw what I saw?” Takamina asked Mariko, making sure that she wasn’t hallucinating. Mariko just nodded.
Sayaka, still holding Amina, took the rope from Yuko and tie it around her back. Then she tied her in a chair.
“No one will go near her. Understand.” Takamina said in a loud and clear voice causing the members to stop from their tracks.
“Takamina, i-i-is everything alright?” Haruna nervously stutter.
Takamina and Mariko remained quiet as everyone is looking at them. They both knew what they saw is not natural. If anything, this is beyond diabolical.

Wow, this is really interesting
I'm pretty picky about the reaaly negative ones that kill the members but this is interesting
normally, when it's zombie? fanfic, they don't target a member first
and they don't have AKB even exist in that universe
so this is really good... plus real
but did Amina get bitten? or is the 'problem' transmitted some other way?
wasn't all that clear

Hi there again :)
I'm sorry if it took me a while to update this chapter. I was busy with enrollment back then. Sorry :(
But any way, I would like thank each and everyone for reading the prologue. It really means a lot and I deeply appreciate it.
For the replies:
@Shinoki I was trying to leave that for the reader's imagination to decide. It was the prologue so I tried to make the readers guess what it is. And just like, I don't like members being killed but this genre is one of my favorites so I decided to give it a try. Thank you for reading :)
@Elo This event took place before the Budokan concert 2013 so Acchan was now longer in AKB. I may or may not put her in the story but I have a friend who keeps telling me to include her. About the pairings, I'm not sure if I should put a pairing because of it's genre but if I 'did' put a pairing, I'm going to be subtle about it. And thank you for making me feel welcome and thank you for reading :)
@cisda83 Yeah, it would be perfect for Takamina to display her leadership skill that's why I created this fic. And just like what I said to Elo-san, there's a chance I might include her. Thank you for reading :)
@kenjoy12 Oh thank you for your support, I really appreciate it :) I'll try my best to update soon. Thank you for reading :)
@bunny_rabbit Just like you, I like zombie genres :) I was wondering if there was another zombie genre in this forum and it turns out there is Yey! :). Could you please tell me. Thank you for reading :)
@K-popJ-popAWESOMENESS It was still unclear what happen to Amina but in this chapter it may shed some light on the situation. Yeah, I was a silent reader since November and I'll try my best to update. Thanks for reading :)
@AgentBlueBear This chapter and the continuing chapters will explain what happen. And yes, I'll continue this. Thank you for the support and for reading :)
@Cessy10 I love post-apocalyptic genres that's why my mind gave me an idea for this fic. And about your oshimen, I can't promise you :twisted: hahhaha but any way, Thanks for reading :) PS: Mag update ka na din. Pangalawa ko na to.
@bimbo At first I was unsure about this because I don't want the members to die but..... I love this genre :) hehehe Anyway Thank you for reading :)
@kurosawa87 Oh thank you for the support. I hope you'll continue on reading. Thank you for reading :)
@POPCAT Exactly my point hehehe :) Thank you for reading :)
@mitsuhara_itsuko About Acchan, I told Elo-san cisda-san about her. Just like you, I'm looking forward with survival. Thank you for reading :)
@XxRoByNxX78 Hehehe a lot of you is asking about Acchan :) Please look at my reply to Elo-san. And about Takamina, I really see her as a great leader. Any way, Thank you for reading :)
@DiVAGal2458 Thank you for thinking this was awesome. I hope I can update soon. Thank you for reading :)
For the silent readers: Thank you very much for reading, I hope you enjoy this one.

Chapter 1: All Hell Breaks Loose
The silence in the room is deafening. Apparent fear and confusion can be seen in everyone’s eyes as they keep staring back and forth at their sokantoku and their friend who is now tied up in a chair. They anxiously waits for any reply to what’s going on, but they only get silence as their answer.
It was past midnight when Takahashi finally moved from her spot and went to the door. She locked it and barricades it with chairs and benches. The rest are again stun on the situation as they look at each other, silently asking one another to speak up and ask but no one wants to try.
“I um….I just want to make sure.” Takamina clears her throat as she looks at the scared look from everyone.
“W-W-What’s going on?” Miichan was the first one to stand up to ask. She can feel everyone’s eyes looking at her.
“I….I don’t know how to explain this.” Takamina glanced at Mariko, silently asking for help. Both of them stare at each other. Sayaka noticed this so she went up to Takamina.
“I don’t know what’s happening but all I know is that this is not normal.” Sayaka whispered, not wanting the others to be alarm.
“Maybe you should take a look at this.” Mariko walked up behind as she hears the conversation.
The three of them walked towards the window, ignoring the looks of everyone. Sayaka peeked at the curtain and was surprise. It was way worse to what Takamina and Mariko saw. Outside, not only three of them but a large horde of those things are roaming aimlessly at the streets of Tokyo.
“You should tell this to them. They have the right to know.” Sayaka said as she closes back the curtains.
“I don’t want them to panic.”
“They still need to know what’s going on. I know it’s hard but we can’t just idly sit by as this happen. They NEED to know.” Sayaka place her hand on Takamina’s shoulder, helping her find courage.
“We’ll support you Takamina.” Mariko nodded. After hearing her friend’s advice, she swallowed the lump in her throat and slowly went up in front.
“E-E-Everyone…..” Takamina slowly started. “…. I know that you’re feeling confuse on what’s going on and just like you, I don’t know the reason why this is happening….. I only knew that….that… it’s not s-safe anymore.”
The room began to fill with murmur as everyone is more confused on what’s happening.
“What do you mean not safe?” Sashi said as she looks at the scared look of Takamina.
“Is this something have to do with Amina?” Mayu added.
“Why can’t we call for help?”
“Can we go home?”
“Can we call the police?”
Questions are now being thrown to the nervous Takamina as she faced them. Her knees are shaking from the pressure she’s in.
“Guys, one at a time. Give her a break.” Sayaka immediately stand besides Takamina, shielding her from the questioning eyes.
“I know that everyone is confused but please, try to understand.” Mariko joined Sayaka as she stands in front of Takamina.
Everyone was quiet again as they looking at the three people in front of them. The atmosphere settle down, making everyone settle down.
“We don’t really know what’s going on and why is this happening and I know what I have to say doesn’t make any sense but please…..believe me.” Takamina felt relieve as she spoke, finally having courage to say what everyone needs to hear. But it was short lived as she imaged again the unimaginable situation.
“I-I want you to look at the window.” Takamina said as he points at the closed curtain. “I want you to see for yourselves what’s going on.”
The members look at each other, waiting for someone to go and look. They feel tense and scared for they will finally know what makes the others anxious. One by one, they step forward and slowly made their way to the window.
The curtain is the only thing that separates them knowing the truth, for beyond the glass lies the most excruciating thing they may have seen. Leading the group, Yuko took hold the end of the curtain, readying herself from what may come.
In a one swift motion, Yuko moved the curtains away as they finally see the dark sky. They looked down and saw those things wander the misty streets. Without warning, they can hear screams of terror from what appears to be someone is trap in the corner while he was being surrounded by them.
“W-W-What the hell are does things? Are those people?” Yuko turned around as she asked Takamina. The rest of the group took a long look at the once normal streets.
The streets they walked to everyday, the street they once knew. Maybe it’s already gone.
Their knees began shaking from shock. Their eyes widen in confusion. Their hearts beating fast. Haruna can’t take it anymore as she collapsed to the floor. Without a moment of delay, Mariko went to catch her. Wrapping her arms around the trembling body as she tries to soothe the fallen girl.
“That’s enough.” Sayaka immediately closed the curtain, preventing them from seeing any longer.
They went silent. They keep staring into space with blank looks at their faces. Silence soon filled the entire room.
Seeing her friends, Takamina felt each and everyone is afraid. Afraid what may come next.
“That’s why I want us to stay here for awhile, just until this thing subsides.” Takamina spoke with a small voice, breaking the heavy tension.
“D-Do you t-think this thing will be gone?” Haruna said stuttering while Mariko is patting her back.
“….. I don’t know.” This was the only response Takamina can give. She doesn’t know what happen. They have been in this studio the entire day. It was normal before. How can things change so much in less than a day?
“How about we can contact someone from the outside?” Yuki suddenly asked. The members snapped back to reality from this little idea which prompt them took their phones and start dialing. Most of them tried to call their love ones while other’s tried to call the police.
Takamina slowly fished for her phone from her pocket, wondering if someone would answer. The capacity of this plague is still unknown to them but knowing the sheer truth is something no one would ever accept.
She remembers her mother that’s currently staying with her for a few weeks, thinking that its better if she said no before, then she would be positively sure that she’s safe. They lived in an apartment a few blocks from here which made her more worried than ever.
She dialed her mother’s phone and she waits as the phone kept ringing, silently praying someone would pick it up. And just as the second she would give up, a familiar voice responded to her. It was a voice she would want to hear over and over again and unknowingly, a tear fell from her eye.
“Mom.” Takamina said as stream of tears began falling down, finally relive to know she’s alive.
“Minami, sweetie.”The person in the other lined said with relieve, like a huge spike was remove from her heart.
“Where are you Mom?” Takamina can’t control the tears falling as it stained the hard wood floor. The phone in her hands shakes as she spoke.
“I’m safe dear. The military took us to the evacuation center at the very west side of Tokyo.” As Takamina heard these words, her knees suddenly collapse knowing her mother is now safe.
“They won’t tell us anything on why this happen but they told us that Akihabara is the hot zone. They said that they…..c-can’t g-get the people from there t-to evacuate.” Her mother said in between sobs, worried for her daughter.
“Don’t worry mom, we’re safe….. I’m safe.” Takamina said these encouraging words not only for her mother but also for herself.
“Is that Takamina?” Takamina can hear another woman’s voice in the other line.
“Takamina is that you?” A familiar voice can be heard as she took the phone from her mom.
“H-Hai.” Takamina said.
“Can you put on Sayaka for me?” The woman tries to hold her tears as she ask her.
From the sound of the woman’s voice, it must be Sayaka’s mother. Without thinking, she called Sayaka who is busy dialing her own phone. Takamina motioned her phone to her and she immediately went over.
“H-Hello.” Sayaka said as she holds the phone near her ear, waiting for the other line to speak.
“S-Sayaka.” Her mother burst into tears as she said her name.
“I’m here.” She assured her as she tries to put on a brave face.
“Sayaka, something happen to your brother.” Her mother was trembling as she kept on crying. Sayaka’s eyed went wide, her heart began beating real fast. Her mind telling her that something bad happen but her heart keeps on denying.
“W-W-What happened? Please tell me.” She can’t hold the tears any longer.
“We were heading towards the evacuation center with a group of other people. He was leading us as we run away from them b-but….” It went silent for awhile. The only thing can be heard are distant sobs.
“Mom. Mom. Are you there? Please say something.” She pleaded as she screams at the phone.
“But we got swarm by them as we almost reach the evacuation site. A small girl got pinned down to the ground but your brother save her…. He saved her…. But he got bit in the arm as he shields the little girl.” Sayaka’s mind went blank. Her brother was……gone. He saved the group to safety but he was…..gone. Enormous kinds of pain filled her body, she stand there….unmoved.
“I’m sorry.” These two words woke her up.
“Please don’t say that.” Sayaka said as she shakes her head.
“It’s my fault. It’s all my fault. I should have protected him. I should have done something.”
“Please don’t blame yourself. He saved you but also the other people, especially the small girl.” Sayaka said with conviction, knowing her brother died for a reason.
“How about you? Are you safe?”
“Yeah, we’re all safe.” Sayaka put the phone in speaker so that everyone can hear the situation outside.
“Now mom, tell me what’s going on over there.” The other girls went over to them as they can hear loud gunfire coming from the phone.
“The military is trying to evacuate as much as they can but they can’t reach Akihabara.” This made the members panic as they began asking lots of questions.
“Take everyone NOW.” From out of nowhere, a distant voice from the other line shouted. “Alpha one, take these people on the chopper now.”
“Mom what’s happening?” Sayaka said.
“Let’s move out. Move. Move. Move.” A military soldier shouted from the distance.
“Sayaka, they’re taking us somewhere. Those things are now coming here. They’re-“ She was cut off. The line went dead. It went nothing but static.
“Hello. Mom. Mom!” Sayaka took the phone to her ear as she screams for her mother.
Each and everyone froze and stood still with an unreadable expression. They stare into the nothingness while Sayaka tries to dial again the number but it can no longer be reach.

Maku-san... Thank you for the info about Atsuko
so Atsuko might be here in this story... but she was no longer in AKB...
At least Sayaka and Minami mothers are safe and being evacuated with choppers....
Poor Sayaka for losing her brother...
Ah... would they be able to get away safely...?
What about other cities....?
OMG... Akihabara is the hot spot for the zombie...
What's going on... why did this thing happening in Akihabara...?
They still didn't know that the monsters roaming on the street are zombies...
How are they going to protect themselves?
Eh... would the military people just abandoned Akihabara to themselves... ?
How Takamina would do about this now?
Luckily Sayaka and Mariko were there to support Minami... even though everyone still hope for Minami to do something about it...?
Can't wait to see more adventure

especially in that kind of situation.
-

Can they reach the end point everyone of them is still alive? well i better prepare myself for this!!! :mon look:
Hmm... are there going to have pairing moments here? hahaha i hope there is, :wub: KojiYuu/Mayuki/MariMii feels sad Acchan is nowhere to be found

This getting more and more interesting yet kakoi~ but i love it :mon star:
Update soon maku~san!! :kneelbow:
-
So the Military Can't reach them.... :glasses:
They'll get Weapons and start beating the Crap out of those things like Bosses?! :P :? 8)
(Hope So) lol XD

i really, really like this! :mon lovelaff:
-
Thanks for the update :)
You love this kinds of genres and thriller too, but you hate horror right?
Even though Post-Apocalyptic are both Thriller and Horror.
Sometimes I can't understand you. joke
It's okay, if you can't promise, but remember the consequences of it. :twisted:
I know you already said that you may/may not add Acchan into this story.
But won't the AKB48 members worry about Acchan? especially Takamina.
Knowing that they are and still friends, and they care for each other.
Right?!?!
P.S.
Di ka man lang nagsasabi na mag-uupdate ka na pla. Patapos na ako sakin, konti nlng, tska sabi ko after elections pa ako mag-uupdate eh.
Tska pla update ka na sa isa mo pang story, hinihintay na ni Alyzza. hehehe

ANNOUNCEMENT
Hey guys, I know I'm waaaayyy behind now with this story. Honto ni gomenasai :kneelbow:
This semester has a lot of pressure on me. I did try to write little bit of pieces during my free time but it was really not enough and I'm not satisfied with it.
Maybe after I'm done with this semester, I'll return with a clear mind again and I'll be able to write again just like before I started this fic.
I'm going to leave a poll so I can see who you think will still be alive in the end.
I'm a slow author so please bear with me :sweatdrop:
soooo I'm going to disappear now *vanish*
-
Actually I want Atsumina... But there is no Atsuko...
So I choose takaharu...
Can't wait to see the next chapter
Thank you
:twothumbs :twothumbs :twothumbs
-
Yui-Hime and my imouto Yuuchan must survive :onionwhip: :shifty:
-
hYoooooo! (That's no typo, haha.) I've just found out about this story and it's really interesting! (ha.. too bad I didn't find it before? I wonder how long it's been up? But oh well.)
I guess it's a shame that it's going on temporary hiatus, but to put my own personal input about it, it's also really fortunate that you are! On your side, of course. Focus on your studies. It's okay to be "behind" a chapter or two! I can understand as one who also has a story on temporary hiatus........ (Don't worry about it too much if your grades matter more! Focus at the thing in your hands first!)
As for who will be the last few to survive... (I think my heart will break the moment someone dies...) I really don't know who but I hope Maeda Ami is not the first to die. (Unbeknownst to others, Ami is my 2Oshi aside from Yukko!!) I don't know, but I would guess Ayaka would be somewhere in there... haha... I definitely do not believe as much that Sayaka will be able to survive as last few. If given the same situation as her brother but with an AKB member, she wouldn't think much of a second thought if she'd get hurt or bitten or whatever or not. But wow there are a lot of factors to count on. I honestly wish none of them would die... But going in large groups is extremely dangerous in that type of situation! I hope they split up to even out their survival rate! (ah, this story means a lot of the members could've been... "taken" already...)
-
I agreed with Crossing-san
I would preferred for all of them to survive....
I do hope for you to make as many of them survive please...
Be waiting for your update as long as it takes...
Thank you
:twothumbs :twothumbs :twothumbs
-
... I want to survived Takamina and ... mayuyu (I had no clear second choice vote, so many girls who I would be nice to save as Yuihan or Yukirin ... Mariko sama ... but in the end I thought that Mayuyu was good choice , the actual ACE of akb.
-
I'm back.
What's up everyone? That sure was a looong time since the last time I've been here. But finally, I'm back. I'm sorry if it took me this long to update. I apologize :kneelbow:
A few words before I start the chapter. I've actually written a long chapter. I think it was 12 pages long but I don't want you to get bored with it so I decided to cut it into 2 parts. I'll post it in a few days or so.
Sorry for the wrong grammar and boring writing style. Newbie here :)
On to the replies:
@bunny_rabbit: I think the Amina problem will be handle in the next part. An don't worry, these girls will do something to survive. I hope :) Anyway, thank you for reading and hope you'll enjoy this next one. :)
@cisda83: You're welcome :) Getting safe is their number 1 priority and I can safely assure that Takamina will do something about it. About Acchan, I don't know, maybe she'll appear, maybe not. I'm still thinking. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy your reading. :)
@kenjoy12: I love High School of the Dead and the Resident Evil franchise :heart: I love any zombie related literature that's out there. Thank you for liking my work. I'll do my best to keep it up even though I suck at writing hehehe :) Anyway, thank you for reading :)
@Elo: I was actually thinking of "some" pairing. Maybe it will add more drama :) Anyway, thank you for reading and hope you'll enjoy this one :)
@Minamiyuki: That would be badass. Having heavy artillery would be super badass. I would have to think of some really nice guns then. And by the way, sorry for updating late. Anyway, thank you for reading :)
@mitsuhara_itsuko: Yeah, you're right. Managing a huge group would be difficult in this situation. Takamina's skill will be tested on this one. Thank you for reading :)
@AgentBlueBear: Pairings would be nice. Maybe I'll thrown in a few subtle 'moments'. :) Can you guess which one? Anyway, thank you for reading and hope you'll enjoy this one just like the last. :)
@7sam14: Survival is their number one priority and Takamina will make sure of it :) Imagine your oshimen with a weapon, that would be so cool :) Sorry for my rumbling there hehehe Thank you for reading :)
@irgheto: Awww thank you for such nice and sweet words. But still, I think my writing skills are lame heheh Thank you for reading and hope you'll enjoy this one :)
@Cessy10: I hate those jumpscares. I hate it! I hate it! hehehe :) But I think post apocalyptic genres are a bit cool and mind blowing. And just like I said, I may or may not add Acchan. Still thinking about it. Thank you for reading and hope you'll enjoy this one as well :)
@kuro_808: Roaming zombies are never a sight I wanna see. They'll have to think of a plan to get the hell out of there alive hehehe :) Anyway, thank you for reading :)
@Yuki88: High School of the Dead is one of my favorites and maybe was my inspiration when I was making this idea. :) Anyway thank you for reading and hope you'll enjoy it :)
@POPCAT: With badass guns of course hehehe :) My imagination went wild for a minute there. Imagining Takamina with an sub machine gun in hand, two handgun in each side of the belt, wearing camouflage pants with a white tank top. I have a weird mind sometimes :) Thank you for reading :)
@nunku: Just like I said, I'm still thinking if I should include Acchan. Seeing a lot of you are asking about her, there's a good chance she will :) Thank you for reading :)
@rhin hahaha :on lol: Now I can't stop thinking Takamina hiding behind a peashooter. That would be funny if it really happen :) Thank you for reading :)
@Amakuchi: I remember playing Left 4 Dead one night with the light off and suddenly someone touch my shoulder from behind. It was my father but it scared the shit out of me. heheh Just sharing useless and out of topic story :) With my crazy rambling, thank you for reading :)
@Crossing Crossroads: Thank you for finding my story interesting :) You made a really good point there. A huge number will attract them. And just like you, I don't want anyone to be "taken" but it has to be. My weird mind was the one who thought of this story. I blame it for making this heheh :) Anyway, thank you for reading :)
@Minami-chan: Even myself I don't know who will survive. But there a few 'situations' that I'm thinking. Please don't kill me if I 'accidentally' kill one of your favorites :bleed eyes: Anyway, thank you for reading.
And for the silent readers and thank you clickers thank you so much. And also for those who participate in the poll I put up. It's nice to see your opinions :)
Again, sorry for my lame writing skills. My lame writing skills are lame :) And sorry too for my late update. Please bear with me, I'm a slow writer.

Chapter 2: Chapter 2: It's Not Safe Anymore Part 1
“What do we do now?”
It was normal and simple question but it made everyone’s mind blank. Unsure of what to say and what to do, Takahashi stood still while the rest just stare at her patiently. Her glances shifted to her friend who is tied up in chair with a craze look in her eyes and to the girls who are probably scared as she is.
A simple nudge from the tall girl caught her attention from her own thoughts. She looked up to find her cell phone being handed to her as Sayaka gave her a blank expression. It was the first time Takahashi saw this look from the always serious and focus Sayaka. The small hint of feeling scared was subtle but Takahashi can see it clearly through her eyes.
She turned around to find Haruna still on the floor, trembling while Mariko puts an arm around her as she tries to comfort her. Mariko pats her back while staring at Takahashi, silently asking for her to say something.
She then turned back to the rest of the group, looking at each and everyone. She is always the one they all look after to. The one they run to when they have a problem with the dance moves, the one they ask to for advice and the one they know that will always guide them. But how can she guide them when even herself is afraid. How can she possibly know what to do next when she doesn’t know what’s happening.
Her throat began to clasp together. The pressure inside her body began increasing rapidly and her breathing become irregular. Her head began to feel heavy.
She was hyperventilating. But then, a hand grabs her shoulders. She looks up and saw Yuko.
“Breathe.” It was a simple word coming from her friend but it managed to calm the small captain. The pressure that’s building up on her suddenly disappeared. The small captain gave a nod in returned.
“Whatever happens, we will always be here.” Her friend looked deep on her eyes, showing a deep sense of trust.
The small captain gathered up her composure and found the courage to speak up. She now looks around the room with a new perspective.
“Listened up. Right now some things happening outside. All we know that whatever is out there, it’s dangerous. I suggest we stay here until help comes.”
“D-D-Didn’t we just heard that the military can’t reach us?”
“How about the evacuation we just heard? Didn’t they left already?”
“We still have to trust our government. They will find a way.” These words are not only for them to believe in, but also for Takahashi. Trusting in something that may never come true is not the best thing to do but it was the only thing they can do.
“Besides, it’s dangerous to move in the night. If nothing happens until noon, we’ll go out ourselves.”
“In the meantime, we need to stick together and stay here.” This decision might be a bad one but it will have to do. She haven’t got any choice and judging by the reaction of the others, they don’t agree.
“C-C-Can I go home?” A voice from the grieve stricken girl said as she sat on the floor as Mariko comforting her.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea.” The tall girl said as she looks deep into Haruna's eyes. She looks back at Takahashi as a sign of help.
“Why can’t we go home?” Yui suddenly said.
“Yeah, we need to go home and look for our families.” Followed by Shimazaki.
“They’re right. We can’t stay here.”
“I want to go home”
“It’s dangerous to stay here.”
“I want to leave.”
“No, we have to stay here and wait.”
“I can’t wait anymore.”
It was madness. The room was filled with noises coming from each and everyone. A lot of bickering and helpless call was the only thing can be heard. It made
Takahashi’s head hurts. She can’t take it. The pressure was building up again. Voices from everyone continued as she clutch her head down.
She wanted to say something. Anything to make it all stop.
“Wait guys, can we just---“
*BANG*
“….”
“….”
“What the hell was that?” Yuko said as another loud bang made its way. As it continues, all of them slowly turn to the source.
“It’s the door.” Takahashi said as cold sweat trickle down her forehead. Her heart began beating as fast as it could as the thought of those things have finally come.
The door now shakes heavily as another loud bang that almost tumbled the chair that is blocking the door. The force bang even harder as the first lock finally broke.
All of the members were silent. They were frozen on their spot as fear crept in their bodies. Their wide eyes can see the door forcefully being bashed open.
And finally---
A loud bang made the door wide open and revealed a huge seven feet tall man covered in blood. The man was wearing a tight black t-shirt that has the words ‘SECURITY’ written on the back. The man’s skin was pale and his eyes have turn into pure white.
It stood still at the doorway for a while as it scanned the room filled with fear as the members stay quiet. It let out a nasty growled as it slowly walked towards them.
‘I can’t let that thing hurt the girls.’ Takahashi thought to herself as she quietly stepped in front of everyone with eyes set with determination to protect everything she loves.
The sudden movement attracted the man’s attention. Then without hesitation, it sprints towards her. Takahashi stood her ground as the man gets near to her. She closed her eyes as she anticipates what’s going to happen next.
A loud thud made Takahashi open her eyes. She saw Sayaka in front of her as the man was lying on the floor.
“Sayaka.” The small captain whispered.
“Don’t be an idiot, Minami. We appreciate the heroic act but we don’t need to lose another one.” Sayaka simply said as she bashed the man’s head with an umbrella.
The man continues to move but Sayaka immediately hit him again and with one final blow, blood splatter all over the floor.
The rest of the members had the mouths agape as they saw Sayaka panting heavily in front of the body. A pool of blood spilled all over the floor.
“We can’t stay here anymore. Any second now not only that man will come here and barge in the door. There will be plenty of them.” Sayaka clenched tightly on the bloody and broken umbrella.
“B-But where will we go? It’s dangerous outside.” One of the members said.
It was quiet for awhile, looking at each other as they try to search for a solution but then, someone spoke.
“I think I have that covered. My uncle has a warehouse just outside of Tokyo. The place is build like a fortress with high concrete walls and metal gates surrounding the area.” The captain of team B said as she shows them a set of keys. “Good thing I have the key right here.”
“How would we get there? We can’t just waltz outside and run like hell. We’ll be out in the open. It’s too dangerous.” Team K’s captain joined in their conversation.
“I think the mini bus is still on the garage. If it already left, we would have heard it leave.” Mayu suggested. “We could use it.”
“But who will drive it? More importantly we don’t have the keys.”
“That’s where I’ll come in.” Miichan suddenly said. “Do you remember that I’m the president of the Driving Club?”
“How about the keys?”
“They normally put the keys on a hook in the garage and if that fails, I’ll just hotwire it. Hotwiring a car is part of the basic knowledge to get a driver’s license.” Miichan then glance at the worried Takahashi. “I can do it.”
The small captain sighed. Seeing her friends all determined to leave that place left her no other choice. She’ll have to believe in them just like how they believed in her.
“Ok. We’ll leave in five so pack your things and be ready to move out.” Takahashi instructed as the rest quickly went over to their things. Seeing Sayaka still panting hard, she went over to her side and put a hand on her shoulder.
“Are you ok?”
“I…… should….be the one…asking you that.” Sayaka said as tries to catch her breath. “Don’t ever do that again, Minami.”
“Here, seeing you all work up, you deserve a bottled water.” Yuko said as she approached the two.
“Thanks.” Sayaka took one long gulp and it immediately refreshes her throat.
“The man is huge and it made Sayaka sweat from taking it down so why would you do that Takamina? That guy was twice your height” Yuko said towards the small captain.
“I know it’s just that….” Takahashi can’t look at Yuko straight as shame took over her.
“You don’t have to prove yourself to us. We already know that you can lead us. After all, you are our captain and as captain you’ll have to believe in your members.
“I’m sorry I was just-“
“You don’t have to apologize. Just tell us what to do and I’ll follow you whatever what.” Sayaka said as she empty the water. “Just like you, I will protect everyone just like my brother did.”
This made Takahashi realize Sayaka’s situation. A few hours ago, she received word about her brother’s death from protecting a small group. Knowing a family member died, normally can make you feel lost and vulnerable.
“I’m sorry about your brother.”
“Don’t worry. My brother died for a purpose and like him, I’ll make sure that everyone is safe.” Sayaka said with a smile on her face.
“We’re ready Minami.” Mariko said as she the rest of the members stood before her.
“Give us your orders, captain.” Yuko said as she smiled at Takahashi.
The small captain nodded in agreement and looks over the members.
“Find any blunt or sharp object and use it as a weapon. We are leaving this room and we don’t know what kind of hell is out there. If you found anything useful, bring it back here.”
The others rush out to look around the room to find anything they can use. Inside the studio, only a few items can be found inside but luckily, there was a small closet that the management uses as storage for props and material. Maybe they can see something useful in there.
“I found something in here.” Mayu said as she picked up a tool box.
“Good work, now see if there is something else inside the closet.” The small captain gladly said. It was the first time she can see hope back in everyone’s eyes as they work together. She glance over at Yuko and Sayaka and found the two smiling at her.
“Ok! Place everything you found here. Let’s go!” The members hurriedly gathered and place their stuff in front.
There were a few items like a few umbrellas, bamboo sticks in the prop room, a small metal pipe, box cutters and Mayu’s toolbox.
“Let’s look inside the toolbox.” Takahashi crouch down and open the toolbox. Inside, there was a hammer, a wrench, a box of screws, 3 screwdrivers, and a bundled metal wire.
“That’s going to be useful especially that screwdriver. I can use it to hotwire the mini bus.” Miichan said as Takamina handed it over.
“Here. You can even use it as a weapon.”
“Yeah, I can stick this in their brains if I have too.” Miichan gave a smile to her friend as she tries to assures her.
“With these, I think I can’t give everyone a weapon but we’ll leave in teams. We need to move in small numbers so we can’t attract any of those.” Takahashi glance at the girls, one by one looking through their faces.
“Ready to move out?” was the small captain’s question before they took off.

Hey everyone :)
I know that I said that I'll post the next part a 'few' days but something tells me to post it on Halloween.
Happy Halloween minna-san :) :) :)
On to the replies:
@Yuki88: Yeah I feel that too. But as a writer, I'll try my best not to be bias in this. Keyword: try :) But as you can see I made my 3rd favorite to show symptoms of psychological problems. hehehe is that enough? XD This part actually had a lot of revising because I'm not use to with this kind of scene. Again, thank you for reading and supporting :)
@Shinoki: I think Sayaka is the only one who can do that and the same with Takamina. It fits well with their character that I put that scene. Anyway, thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy this one :)
@mitsuhara_itsuko: Get ready for a wild ride cause it will now start :) Better hold on to your seats and make sure you have the seatbelts on :lol: Just kidding. I don't think I can set the tone for it. Wish me luck :) Again, thank you for reading :)
@AshuraX: With a lot of demand for Acchan, the possibility are increasing that I will put her in the story. And wow, I haven't heard Sayamina before :) Again, thank you for reading :)
@cisda83: Decisions, decisions. It's really hard to make them. And something tells me that this will be a long and hard journey :) Again, thank you for reading :)
And for the silent readers and thank you clickers thank you so much. Even though I can't see you, I can feel your support which helps me out a lot :)
Oh by the way, a little reminder and must read: The setting for this fic is the time before the Budokan concert 2013. Which means, this is Kasai's last concert before her graduation, Sayaka, Mariko, Tomochin haven't graduate yet, Sae is still in SNH and haven't announce that she will be a full time member of SNH and Acchan is no longer a part of AKB.

Chapter 2: It's Not Safe Anymore Part 2
“CLOSE THE DOOR! CLOSE THE DOOR!” A group of girls came running and yelled at the top of their lungs as it echoes around the dark hallway into the garage door.
“Hurry!” The small captain instructed as the group of girls finally arrive. Immediately, she slammed the door shut and blocked it using a large table.
“That…… was close.” The slightly taller girl slumped on the floor as she tries to catch her breath. They were now inside the garage and luckily, the mini bus was
still there. One of their problems are now solve and the only thing is missing is the keys.
Before the last group arrives, the rest was looking every inch of the room for the key and any kind of supplies they can use. So far, they found a fire axe and some additional tools.
“You guys ok?” Worried apparent on Takahashi eyes as she looks at the last group to arrive.
“Yeah…. *sign* We made *sign* it.” Sae leaned back on the wall, exhausted from their run.
Yuko, Sae, Ami and Sasshi were the last group assigned to leave the studio. While they were moving, they stumbled upon a group of those things. With Sae and Yuko the only ones who are armed with bamboo sticks, they were outnumbered and they decided to make a run for it.
“Take some rest. We’ll guard the door as the others will keep searching for the key.” The small captain left her post to Sayaka and went over mini bus.
“How’s it looking over here?” Takahashi asked.
“It’s harder than it looks in the textbook hehehe.” Miichan smiled timidly as she sat at the driver seat. It was the first time Takahashi saw someone smiled after these past events. Seeing the smile, it was somewhat comforting.
“I need a few minutes to figure it out but it will surely help if we can find the stupid key already.” The Gachapin mechanic went under the steering wheel and resumed back to work.
“Yeah, will do.” The small captain left the vehicle and went to the others to look.
The group was divided into groups. Mayu, Yuki and Umeda were searching the metal cabinet while Tomomi and Tomochin went to the garage office.
“Hey Tomomi, are you ok?” Tomochin asked.
“Yeah, I’m ok …. It’s just that….” Tomomi’s voice was faint but Tomochin heard her.
“Just what?”
“I felt bad for Amina. We should have tried to bring her here but instead we-“
“Don’t say it.”
The room felt silent. You can feel the heavy tension in the atmosphere.
“It’s just that… we need to put her out of her misery.”
Moments before they decide to leave, the rest of the group talked when the first group left the room. The elephant in the room was finally brought up to the discussion when Mayu address it.
“We can’t just leave her here.” Was Takahashi’s first and immediate reply.
“But we can’t bring her along too.” Yuko responded.
“But-. “ Takahashi was cut off.
“Yuko’s right.” The owner of the voice was firm.
“But Sayaka.”
“We need to be logical. If we bring her along, she will hurt the others. As far as we know, if you get bitten or even just a small scratch from them, you’ll become one of them. ” The facts are becoming clear. It all happen when Amina left the room but when she came back, it happened. Anything can happen
in a split second.
“Maybe there’s a cure to all of this, yeah, there will be. All of this will past eventually.” The small captain was determine. She doesn’t want anyone left behind. “I mean, come on. We can’t just abandon her.”
“What if it doesn’t? We don’t know how severe this outbreak is.” The tall woman said. “Ok let’s just say that there is a cure, we don’t know where will we get it and who’s going to make it. As far as we know, every one left Tokyo already.
Takahashi was silent. Reality was hitting her hard and she doesn’t want to face it. She closed her eyes real tight, imagining that this was all a dream. A dream where any second now, she’ll open her eyes and see the bright blue sky under her pink blanket and she’ll leave for work where everyone will still be there, smiling and laughing like before. She opens her eyes and realize that this is now her reality.
“We can’t take her with us. We just can’t” This time, Sayaka’s voice lowered. “We have to understand and accept this fact.”
“….”
“….”
“….”
“I don’t want to leave her here all alone.” Tears began dripping from the small captains face as her mind came into a conclusion.
“I think you know what we’ll need to do.” The tall woman handed her the same umbrella. The umbrella that Sayaka used moments before. Takahashi took one good look at it.
This was her responsibility, her responsibility as captain. To ensure everyone is safe and most importantly, free from suffering.
She took it from the bloodied hands and held it tight. She closed her eyes, wishing that it doesn’t have to be this way.
“It’s been 10 minutes, let the second group move.” The small captain ordered. “Sayaka, Tomomi, Tomochin and Yui. Mariko and Miichan’s group are waiting for you at the garage.”
“If you want, let me do it. You don’t have to do this if you’re not ready.” Sayaka took Takahashi’s shoulder but then she can see the determination from her eyes. Slowly, the tall girl let go.
“It’s ok. I can do this.” You can hear a small sense of uncertainty from Takahashi’s voice. Before Sayaka and the others move, she went over to Yuko.
“If anything happens, help her.”
“Understood.”
As Yui and Tomochin cleared the hallway, one by one they move out. Sayaka was the last one to leave but before she left, she saw Takahashi standing in front of Amina. The small captain raised her hand hesitantly, clenching her grip tight. Sayaka left before the small captain strike down. She closed the door as she can hear a loud sound.
“Takamina sure is brave.” Tomomi said. “If I were in her position, I will never have the courage to do it.”
“If it for the safety of my loved ones, I will do same.” Tomochin said as she took Tomomi’s hands. “Especially for you.”
They stayed in that position for awhile, looking deep into each other’s eyes. Then suddenly.
“Found it!” Yuki’s voice broke everyone’s silence and at the same time-
*VROOM*
“Ehhhhh! I’ve finally able to start this thing and at the same time, you suddenly found the key.” Miichan said.
“Now now, that’s okay. Good job everyone. Now, kill the engine. We don’t want to attract them with the noise.” The small captain ordered. “Look for anything
useful to bring.”
As the others load the mini bus, Takahashi went over to Umeda.
“Are you sure it’s safe?”
“Of course, it’s a bit far from Tokyo so it’s far from them . But we need to make a few stops to get the supplies before going there.”
“You’re right. First we need to make a route on where will we be going.”
Overhearing the conversation, Yuko went to them and handed a map.
“I found this under the drawer. It will definitely help us.” Yuko spread the map on the table and adjust the desk lamp so that they can clearly see it.
“Ohh.” Mayu suddenly joined in to their conversation. “There’s a combini in the next block. We could stop for supplies there.”
“But I think there’s a public park in front of it. There’s going to be a lot of them in there.” Yuko said as she points to the map.
The four of them scanned the area for a while as they thought of a way to make their journey safe.
“I got it. There’s also a small combini 4 blocks from here. There’s no commercial place nearby so probably, there’s less of them there.” Mayu’s voice was full of hope as she looks at Takahashi.
“Our only problem is how we will get there. Maybe if we took this road here and make a right turn here, will have a straight path.”
It took some time for three to think of a plan. While they are discussing, Sasshi notice something.
“Hey guys. The machine for the garage door won’t open.” Hearing the problem, the small captain looked at the girls at the table.
“Mayu, I’ll hand this over to you. I’m going to take a look.” The small captain left the table and went over to the garage door.
Takahashi flipped the switch a few time but to no avail. This is going to be a problem. None of them know this kind of stuff.
“I’m going to stay here while I check for a way out. Go over to Miichan and see if she needs any help.” The small captain instructed.
“Hai.”
Leaving the captain, Sasshi entered the minibus and stand next to Miichan. The girl at the driver seat was looking over at the dashboard, pedals, the rear view mirrors, practically everywhere.
“Do you really know how to drive this thing?”
“Yeah….. Well, a little.” Miichan said as she smiled sheepishly.
“A little?” A bit skeptic, Sasshi looked at the driver.
“Hey! I know this kind of stuff. I’m not a professional but I know this. I can even teach you” Miichan then thought of an idea. “I got it. How about I make you my assistant.”
“Assistant?”
“Yeah. Since I’m the only one who has experience in this kind of stuff, I need someone who I can pass my knowledge to. You know, for safety reason.” Miichan’s voice was softer as she said the last part. “We will never know if I’ll still be alive when all of this is over and we can’t-“
“That’s never gonna happen.” The taller girl interrupted. ”We are going to get through this. If we stick together, nothing ever bad is going to happen.”
The small girl was touch by her words that water began building up in her eyes.
“Stop being such a crybaby.”
“I can’t help it.”
----------
After a few minutes of planning, Yuko shouted to the small girl near the garage door.
“Yo, Takamina. We found a safe route.”
“Wait. Give me a second.”
Yuko went over to the small captain to see what is she doing.
“Need help?”
“That’s ok. I think I figure it out.” The small captain said “You see those two chains at the side of the garage door? If we pulled that at the same time, the door will
open.” The small captain pointed at the sides and Yuko saw how it works. There are two pulleys that are connected to the metal door.
“I’ll be the one to open it.” The small captain said. “But it looks like I’ll need a volunteer for the other one.”
Just at Takahashi said this, Tomomi pass right over to them. Listening in, she stopped in her tracks and turn to the small captain.
“I’ll do it.”
“Are you sure?” Yuko said, as she looks at the smiling Tomomi. “It’s really dangerous. We don’t know the other side of this door and you’ll be expose.”
Tomomi just nodded with a smile on her face. Thinking back, the girl is really a cheery one. It wasn’t only a character for show but her true personality. Takahashi really admires her for that. And right now, seeing how the world is messed up right now, she can’t help but admire Tomomi even more.
“Are you REALLY sure about this? Have you asked Tomochin about this?”
“Daijoubu, daijoubu. Tomo really wants to help.” Tomomi said. “Seeing everyone doing something to help, Sayaka fighting one of them , Miichan driving us, Ayaka giving us a place to stay, Mayu planning our move and especially you leading us and making those hard decision. I really want to do something.”
Hard decision. That phrase reminded the small captain about Amina. How she hasn’t have any choice. How just moments ago she last saw her. The real her.
“Are up for this? There are plenty things to do beside this.”
“Tomo can do this.”
----------
“Are we all set?”
“The mini bus is good to go.” Miichan gave a thumbs up.
“Good. How about the routes?”
“Our routes are ready.” Mayu said
“Good. I want you to stay by Miichan for directions. How about the supplies? Did you find anything useful?”
“We found some additional tools. The fire axe, crowbar, hammer, saw and we also found a first aid kit.” Yui said as she looks over her list.
“Wow, you’re really good at this. Yui, I want you to be in charge of the supplies. Write and organize everything. Can I count on you?”
“Hai.”
“Looks like everything’s set. Ok, here’s the plan. Before we open up the garage door, all of you girls will be in the bus. Since we can’t operate the remote switch,
me and Tomomi will manually open up the garage door. After that, we’ll run to the bus’ door and board in it. In case anything happen, I don’t want you to leave
this bus. Got it?”
As Takahashi was explaining the plan, Tomochin notice something. She took the arm of the girl next to her and quietly drags her a little away from the group.
“You’re not serious, are you?” Tomochin said in a low voice as to not distract everyone, but anger apparent in her tone.
“I can do it. Don’t you trust me?” The girl calmly shook away the hands off her. Hearing the girl’s question, Tomochin looks down to ground.
“Hey, look at me.” She took hold her chin, slowly turning her face so that she can clearly see Tomochin’s eyes. “Nothing bad is going to happen, ok”
“Tomomi….” Tomochin whispered her name before she can hear Takahashi’s voice shout.
“It’s time. Everyone on the bus. Tomomi, you’re with me.”
“Hai.” Tomomi hold the hand of the girl in front of her, directing her to the entrance of the bus. “Oh wait, I forgot about our bags. Let me get them.”
She jogged a few distance and took the two pink sports bag from the table. She held it to her shoulder and returned back.
“Make sure to save me a seat when I get back.” She hands the bags to Tomochin. She looks again to the girl’s face. Memorizing ever small detain about it. Her cute duck lips, her little fangs that shows and the best of all, those brown round eyes.
Tomochin got on board and as the door close, Takahashi approach Tomomi.
“One last question, are you really sure about this? If you want, I’ll find somebody for this.”
“How about you? You said that this is dangerous but why are you doing this?” Tomomi returned back the question.
“I want to protect everyone I love even it means risking my own life.”
“That’s my reason.” Tomomi said as she looks at the bus, but to be exact, she was looking at someone especial. “I’m doing this because I know that everyone will do the same.”
“Let’s do this?” Tomomi looks back again to the small captain.
“Hai.” The small captain took out a hammer and wrench from the table near them.
“Pick one, it will be our protection from what’s out there once we open that door.”
The girl set her eyes at wrench. “I’ll take this one.”
“Ok, you’ll get the chain at the right side because it’s close by at the bus’ door. You’ll have some time to get back to the bus. I’ll handle the left one.”
“But-“
“Don’t argue with me on this one.”
Tomomi can’t say something back, knowing that Takahashi will never switch places with her as this was her last resolve to protect her.
They position themselves at their respective places. Inside the bus, they sat in anticipation as they can see their fellow friends outside. Miichan holding down the wire and ready to start the engine. She glances at Takahashi, waiting for the signal to start.
The small captain took the chain in her hands, Tomomi mimicking her move. The three of them looks at each other.
Slowly, Takahashi raises her hands as she looks back at them again.
In a split second, she swiftly drops her hand and the two rapidly pulled down the chains and Miichan directly starts the engine.
The sudden pull on the metal garage door made a lot of noises combine with the engine roar. The moment the garage door is at its end, a sickening view unfolds to them.
A hoard of those things was fallen to them. Taking notice of the noise, they turn their attention to the noise and they start walking to the closest source, the girl on the right.
Without hesitating, Takahashi ran towards Tomomi but she was stopped by another three onto her. She strike down her hammer and hits the head of one of those things.
“Tomomi, RUN!!!” She screams as she strikes another blow to the head. With the last one, she kicked it down and she runs towards Tomomi.
Inside the bus, Sayaka stood up and took a bamboo stick. “I can’t take this anymore. Miichan open the door.”
“I’ll guard it.” Yuko took another bamboo stick. Sayaka jumps down and run down to Tomomi’s side with Takahashi.
The entire hoard was heading towards Tomomi and she tries her best to fight off. One after another, her swings are becoming weaker and weaker. And without
even realizing it, she was surrounded.
In a blink of an eye, something from her side took her shoulder and bit it. Her agonizing screams of pain was heard. Everyone inside the bus got up from their seat and saw the entire thing happen. Tomochin ran up to door but Yuko was blocking it.
“Everyone must be inside.”
“No, I can’t let her go!”
Takahashi and Sayaka attacked those at the back, fighting through their way to their friend.
“Let go of her you bastard! Attack me instead!” She strikes a galore of them but a whole new hoard came in.
“Go! Leave me here.” Tomomi shouted as she pounds the man who attacks her.
“NO! Sayaka, help me on this one.” The small captain said as she moves another step.
“I said GO! Sayaka, take her and everyone away from here.” The incoming hoard is closing in. The number increase gradually as Tomomi continue to knock them out. Fallen bodies one after another.
“I’m not going to leave you. Come on, we can still save her-“
The tall girl took her arm to stop her.
“Just go already. I’ll hold them off. That will buy you some time to get out.”
“That’s stupid. I won’t let you do that.”
“You understand me Sayaka? Take them out the hell out of here. NOW!”
“What! Let go off me. I can still save her. I can still get her out. Let go!” Takahashi struggle under Sayaka’s hold. She continues to stop her from dragging her
back to the bus.
“Let’s go Takamina.”
“NO!!! LET ME GO!!!”

Before I go, I have one last request. Please don't kill me
Next: Chapter 3: Out in the Open
-
Tomomi..................... :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
Your sacrifice will not in vain..... Takamina and others will escape in respect to your bravery....
Waiting for your next update.... Although it makes me hurt more..... *force smiling*
-
It got me pretty bad.. I could tell from around in the middle of the chapter that something is going to happen to Tomo... T^T Poor Tomochin... If Tomo dies - she was bitten afterall - then our fashionista might blame Taka...
Ah, Sayaka so cool...she was really brave and wow, she now has Geki's umbrella :nervous jokes aside, I am really touched by her inner strength..
Poor Takamina, having to carry all of it on her shoulders, trying to save everyone.. But we know it's not possible...
Yuko-sama, I wub u~ dun u dare to die on me T^T (I mean, I hope she survives this zombie madness :panic: )
-
Tomo~mi... :fainted:
I kept hoping throughout this whole chapter that shed be ok, but sadly...
I wonder how Takamina is going to react. Looking forward to the next update :hee: even though some of them won't make it :badluck:
I hope we get to see Tomo~mi again...
-
Takamina was choosing the left side to keep Tomomi safe but the opposite happened
And Tomo~mi is down now... she was infected... She would try to take down as many as she could before she was fully infected.
Tomochin is going to blame Takamina, I think
But would Tomochin push her way to Tomo~mi... to die with her...?
Or would she let Tomo~mi be the sacrifice....while the rest survive?
Takamina is going to blame herself for choosing the wrong side for Tomo~mi
I was thinking if Takamina and Tomo~mi were guarded then.. in stead of leaving it to Takamina and Tomo~mi trying to safe themselves...
If they have someone beside them then... would the outcome be different?
What's going to happen next?
Thank you for the update
