Reunion (I)... [Chapter 15]
🕑 Added 2022-04-12 15:43:39 +0000 UTCAs soon as Bella was gone, Daichi sat down on the floor with his face in his hands. He was tired… Saeko finally noticed how pale and bothered Daichi was. So, she grabbed a water bottle from Kyoko's backpack and handed it over to him. Daichi accepted the bottle with a grateful smile on his face.
"Are you fine?" Saeko asked softly as she caressed his cheek. Instead of answering Saeko's question, Daichi uncorked the bottle and chugged down a lot of water.
"No… I am not" Daichi finally answered Saeko's question in a solemn tone after he slowly lowered the water bottle. He wasn't okay, nobody should be okay after seeing something like that.
"I understand" Saeko said softly and pulled Daichi's head into her bosom. She had a pretty good idea about what her lover saw down there. Kyoko was also standing beside the duo with a horrified look on her face. She had also realized what Daichi had seen in the basement.
"His wife was no longer a human, right?" Kyoko softly asked in a terrified tone and Daichi simply gave her a hesitant nod. Kyoko immediately covered her mouth with her hand and her face drastically turned green. Kyoko had to lean on the start to support herself. After a few minutes, Kyoko also leaned down and joined the hug…
After nearly half an hour, Daichi finally separated from Saeko and Kyoko. He gave the two of them a grateful look. "Thanks for that" Daichi said and placed a soft kiss on both Saeko's and Kyoko's lips.
"I am yours, so it is obvious that I will help you" Saeko said in a gentle tone and Kyoko also nodded her head in agreement. After that, Daichi slowly got up from the floor and glanced towards the door connecting the hall with the shop front.
"We have wasted a lot of time, let's go and grab everything" Daichi said and both Saeko and Kyoko nodded their heads with determined looks on their faces. So, all three of them quickly made their way towards the shop front. They quickly placed the empty bags on the floor and then they started to shove everything on the shelves into the bags.
Thankfully, Bella had silenced the basement so that Daichi and the others couldn't hear her torturing the insane man. Daichi glanced towards Saeko and Kyoko and made a vow inside his mind 'I need to stay strong for the others. This is just the beginning, we will see even more fucked up shit in the future'. Daichi clenched his fists tightly as he continued to help Kyoko and Saeko…
~~With Kemono~~
"That doesn't sound good" Yuriko Takagi said with a worried look on her face as she looked at the blinking red light in front of Kemono's console. The light was blinking along with a beeping noise.
"We are low on fuel, there is nothing to worry about" Kemono answered in a dismissive manner.
"What the hell do you mean by 'there is nothing to worry about'?? We are about to run out of fuel!!" Yuriko screamed and Kemono simply shrugged off the other woman's concern.
"Don't worry… we will make it to the school in this…" Kemono answered in a reassuring tone, but Yuriko still kept giving the woman sceptical looks. Thankfully the others inside the chopper weren't able to hear Kemono or Yuriko, or they would have been freaking out.
All of a sudden, Kemono noticed something and turned the chopper in that direction. Kemono shoved her hand out of the window and the bird made out of flames appeared in her hand. The bird immediately dove down towards the yellow Hummer manoeuvring through the street.
"Why are we following that car?" Yuriko was also inside the cockpit with Kemono, so she easily noticed the change of direction.
"That's my Hummer, only two people can drive that thing, my son and my maid" Kemono said as she continued following the Hummer, it was heading towards the bridge.
"How can you be so confident, someone could have stolen it" Yuriko suggested with a confused look on her face and Kemono simply grinned.
"You need a code to start the car" Kemono added and they saw that the Hummer stopped. Moments later, Roberta jumped down from the Hummer and started to wave her hand. Kemono looked around and found a nice roof to land the chopper.
"Why are we landing here?" Someone asked from the back and Kemono didn't bother to answer the man, so Yuriko was the one who decided to answer.
"We were low on fuel, fortunately, she found someone who could help us" Yuriko explained. She didn't have the patience to explain the whole thing, so she slightly modified it. Kemono finally landed the chopper, Kemono leaned down under the console and pulled out some fuses.
"Can't have anyone taking my chopper. Without these, you can't even start this thing, so refuelling it would be useless" Kemono said with a grin and jumped down from the chopper, the others didn't have any other options, so they simply decided to follow her…
~~With Roberta~~ (A few minutes ago)
Roberta was driving the car when all of a sudden a bird made out of flames started to knock on her window. This obviously caught Roberta's attention, moments later, the bird transformed into the face of Yozora Kemono surprising Roberta, and after only a few moments, it changed into a chopper.
Roberta immediately understood that Kemono was inside the chopper flying over their heads. So she stopped the car. "Why are we stopping here?" Chiba asked and Roberta simply pointed towards the chopper and jumped down on the Hummer.
Chiba didn't know what to do, so she decided to watch everything from the sidelines. She was restless, but she wasn't stupid. She knew her only option was to stay with Roberta. Several loud explosions were heard from inside the building. After nearly ten minutes, Yozora Kemono finally arrived along with her group. Roberta instantly recognized Yuriko Takagi and the rest were completely unimportant to her.
"Do you know where my son is?" Kemono asked without wasting any time.
"Yes, I suspect that he is staying at the home of Rika Minami with a small group of survivors" Roberta said and Kemono seemed to frown as she tried to remember who the fuck this Rika Minami was. The way Roberta mentioned the name, Kemono was supposed to know who this Rika Minami was.
"That tanned chick with a Humvee?" Kemono asked with a confused look and Roberta nodded her head.
"I was currently heading there…" Roberta began to speak, but Kemono cut her off.
"Fuck that… I am driving" Kemono said and Roberta's face soured after hearing that, Roberta was not a fan of Kemono's driving, Kemono was her Mistress, so simply allowed Kemono to take the wheels.
"What about my daughter?" Yuriko questioned from the side.
"Your daughter is with Daichi-sama, I know that she was with him when they escaped from Fujimi Highschool" Roberta answered with a straight face and Yuriko could only nod her head after hearing Roberta's words. Everyone climbed into the Hummer and slowly flames started to erupt out of the Hummer as soon as Kemono ignited the engine.
Kemono's flames and abilities depended on her imagination. She remembered watching a movie where a Flaming Skeleton would transform all the vehicles he touched. According to the description of her Reinforcement Skill, she should be able to do that too, so she decided to give it a try.
The Hummer started to transform and the wheels also caught fire, but before anyone could say anything, Kemono started to cackle in mad glee as she stepped on the throttle…
<Line Break>
It was almost dark when Daichi and his group finally returned to their temporary base. After the medicine store, they decided to raid a clothes store as everyone needed new clothes as Bella couldn't keep transforming clothes for everyone and the transformation was only temporary.
Clothes stores were practically left untouched as clothes weren't anything valuable, as of right now. So nobody decided to loot them after the world went to shit. Bella had a complicated look on her face… she was confused if she should be cheerful or she should continue pouting. So, she decided to do both…
Apparently, they didn't find a princess dress inside the clothes store, that is why Bella wanted to pout. At the same time, she was really cheerful because she tortured someone to death. It was Saya Takagi who opened the door and welcomed everyone inside.
"Did anything happen?" Daichi asked as he made his way towards the kitchen.
"We have noticed a lot of people going towards the bridge… except that, nothing has happened" Saya answered and Daichi finally sat down after grabbing a water bottle from the freezer.
"I suppose that is good. Takagi-San, can you call, Marikawa-San? We need to check the medicines" Daichi said and Saya sauntered out of the room with a small nod of her head.
"I think… I am going to check the clothes we brought" Kyoko said looking towards Daichi and the said boy simply shrugged. He knew how women acted after getting new clothes, you could never change some things even in the apocalypse.
"Yay clothes!!" Bella loudly cheered and decided to join Kyoko, leaving only Saeko and Daichi inside the kitchen. Saeko also had a water bottle in her hand.
"Aren't you going to join them?" Daichi asked curiously.
"I have already seen them… as long as I can fight while wearing them, I am fine with them… though, I might need some help with my underwear" Saeko finished with a teasing grin on her face and Daichi couldn't stop himself from chuckling.
"Of course… but we have to put it off for now" Daichi said and Saeko simply smiled as she shook her head with an amused look on her face.
Moments later, Shizuka Marikawa along with Saya Takagi came down the stairs. "Wow~ that is a lot~. Did you guys loot a whole store~?" Shizuka said while looking at the pile of bags filled with medicine lying across the kitchen table.
"Something like that" Daichi said dryly. He didn't want to g into the details as he was trying his best to forget the horrors he witnessed in there.
"Where are the others?" Saya asked, looking around the room.
"They went to check the clothes we brought" Saeko answered in a dismissive manner.
"Can we go too~~?" Shizuka asked excitedly in a sing-song manner.
"Fine" Daichi answered after thinking for a few moments. They were not in any sort of hurry.
"Let's go and check on Kohta… that guy must have been bored out of his mind" Daichi said and Saeko simply followed him with a smile on her face.
"Hirano-San is very good with firearms, he could have surprised a lot of his classmates" Saeko said in an amused tone.
"Yes… but they would probably try to take a bite out of Hirano-San if they meet him now" Daichi added in a dry tone and Saeko started to giggle in a sadistic manner. The duo finally arrived at the place from where Kohta was keeping an eye outside.
"How are you, Hirano-San?" Daichi asked as he approached the bespectacled tubby boy.
"I am great Yozora-Senpai, but I think there are lesser Zombies lurking around us" Kohta answered and Saeko gave the boy a confused look.
"Isn't that a good thing?" Saeko asked with a confused look on her face as she looked at Kohta.
"Depends. Technically it is a good thing, but the Zombies are attracted by sound and probably light… so they are going somewhere else…" Daichi pointed out and Saeko finally nodded her head after a few moments.
"How is the city?" Kohta asked and both Daichi and Saeko grimaced after hearing the question.
"...It is pretty fucked up. Streets are filled with Zombies and people are also going around the bend" Daichi answered after a few moments of silence. He could have lied too, but that would have been counterproductive for the whole group.
Kohta gulped loudly after hearing Daichi's words. "So, the government is not coming, right?" Kohta asked and Daichi didn't know how to answer.
"Honestly… I don't know. The thing is, communications are completely out of order. Maybe there is a government base on the other side of the bridge… who knows? For now, we are on our own" Daichi said in a solemn tone, but his voice was also filled with determination.
Saeko slowly intertwined her fingers with Daichi's and gave his hand a small squeeze while Kohta gulped loudly due to his usual nervousness, but after a few moments, he clenched the gun in his hands tightly with a determined look on his face.
"Where are the others?" Kohta questioned suddenly as he got up from his chair.
"They are checking out the clothes we have brought…" Daichi answered. "Hirano-San, why don't you take a break?" Daichi offered and Kohta shook his head.
"No no… I am perfectly fine. It is not a big deal, I suppose. It was much harder for all of you" Kohta said and neither Daichi nor Saeko denied that.
"Yes, but that doesn't mean that you can't take a break…" Daichi insisted and Kohta seemed to finally relent.
"...Ok, then I will return after grabbing a couple of beers" Kohta said and ran off before Daichi could even deny the offer. Saeko softly giggled.
"I am going to leave the two of you… I think I should take a bath before the other girls are done with the clothes" Saeko said and Daichi smiled as he pecked the girl softly on her lips.
"Sure…" Daichi said and gave Saeko's ass a soft squeeze, the girl gave him a wink and walked away. Kohta finally returned after a minute with three bottles in his hand. He found that Saeko was gone, but he decided not to ask about it.
"Hirano-San, tell me about the guns you found" Daichi said while taking a sip from the bottle Kohta handed him. Daichi didn't want to discuss something dark and gloomy, so he decided to ask something Kohta was interested in. Daichi also knew about guns, but he wasn't enthusiastic like Kohta.
"Ohh… This is the Springfield M1A1 Super Match. This is fully custom and a lot of parts have been modified. I suppose whoever did this knows their stuff" Kohta gushed out excitedly. Then he picked the shotgun beside him.
"This baby is the Ithaca M37, this is a pump-action 13 gauge shotgun. It was used by the Americans during the Vietnam War" Kohta gushed out and chugged beer from his bottle. "This is also fully custom" Kohta added after he finished gulping down the beer.
"I am glad that you like them… you are a very important part of the team Hirano-San" Daichi said and started to nod his head with an impressed look on his face.
Kohta froze and started to look down at his hands. "You are giving me too much credit, Yozora-Senpai. You, Busujima-Senpai, and Bella are the ones who are really strong… without the three of you, I couldn't have made my way out of the school" Kohta said sullenly. He felt Daichi's hand on his shoulder, so he finally looked up only to find Daichi smiling at him.
"You are selling yourself too short, Hirano-San. Without you, it would have been harder for us. You are our marksman… you watch our backs and I am happy that someone like you is watching my back when I am engaging with the Zombies in close range" Daichi said and started to slowly sip his beer.
"...What type of guns do you have in your house?" All of a sudden Kohta asked, probably trying to change the topic of their conversation.
"Hmm… there are a lot. We got a lot of variations. My mom isn't picky in that regard" Daichi said with a thoughtful look on his face. They had a lot of weapons, and they had a huge variety.
Even Daichi didn't know all of them by their exact model names. The guns in their house were separated by categories. Like handguns, Submachine guns, Assault Rifles, Machine Guns, LMGs, Miscellaneous, and finally Explosives. Ooh… they also had various types of Rocket Launchers, along with a grenade launcher and a damn minigun.
Yeah… you can't forget the minigun...
All of a sudden, both Daichi's and Kohta's heads snapped towards the street when they heard a loud revving noise coming from the end of the street. "What the hell?!!" Daichi couldn't help but curse when a flaming yellow Hummer came into the view. Kohta gaped like a fish out of the water, and to be honest, it was a pretty good reaction.
The Hummer came to a screeching halt right in front of their current base. The flames covering the Hummer started to recede. 'That's our Hummer' Daichi finally recognized the Hummer when the Hummer started to lose its flames. The others except for Saeko also came running as the Hummer was pretty loud.
The door finally clicked open and Kemono was the first one who jumped down from the car. Only after a second, it was Roberta who jumped down from the car and she looked pretty different… but Daichi felt that it was a good kind of change…
<Line Break>
"I have missed you, my son" Kemono said and without bothering about the others around her, she smashed her lips on her son's, making everyone around her, except Roberta and Bella, do a very comical version of a spit-take. The son and mother duo started to make out in front of the others like no tomorrow.
"H-he is your son!!" A woman accompanying Yuriko stammered out while pointing a finger toward Daichi and Kemono.
"Adoptive son" Roberta pointed out from the side. This seemed to slightly lessen the awkwardness, but it was still awkward nonetheless. Kemono finally separated from Daichi as she caressed his cheek with a soft smile on her face. Then her head snapped back towards the others in the room who were still gaping.
"We have a special bond" Kemono said with a feral grin, and everyone decided that they shouldn't argue with that.
"Come on! Let us go inside, this is no place to talk" Daichi said in a cheerful tone as he led everyone towards the kitchen…
