Infection 2

As we walked up the stairs, we suddenly heard a woman's scream. Looking down at the schoolyard there was a female student begging for someone to save her.

The girl was pushing a boy away from her, just like the teacher, the male student was pale gray and trying to bite her.

The boy grabbed her arms and with his abnormal strength overpowered the girl, "Aaaahhhhhh! Stop it! Stop it!!!"

The zombie's teeth ripped into her neck, blood gushed from her neck, I already knew she was beyond saving the second she was grabbed. Saya and Kohta covered their mouths in fear, looking away not wanting to see such gore.

"We need to move, we can't save her '', I told them before going up the stairs to the rooftop.

Climbing up on the roof of the door leading down from the roof we perched ourselves up there so I can explain to them what we need to do. As I was about to explain the objective I heard the door leading up here open as three people began rushing in, running from the zombies that were flooding here now. What a pain. I didn't expect they would be this idiotic and leave the door open.

We continued to watch as they started to take on multiple of the zombies which was credible.

"That's Takashi and Rei!", Saya exclaimed worryingly.

Even though she holds no romantic feelings for Takashi anymore, they were childhood friends. Groaning, I got up getting confused looks from Kohta and Saya.

"Kohta", I said, grabbing his attention, before handing over Archangel, "I need you to cover them while I kill the remaining diseased."

Putting down the duffle bag, I leapt off the roof and grappled onto the diseased head, cruising it on the concrete ground. The three were shocked by my sudden appearance.

"I'll kill the remaining zombies, help yourselves up on the platform I leapt down from, I'll be quick."

"Kira-kun?", Rei said

Ignoring them I continued to approach the zombies. Looking around there were 10 zombies roaming around the roof now. It seems the rest of them are busy eating other classmates downstairs to come up here. I walked towards them as they charged at me.

I tripped one, and grabbed its right arm, bringing it down, breaking its neck. I then saw another one come from behind me as I jumped over him and kicked him off the roof. I stood close to the wall as the other 8 zombies attacked me.

"Kira!!" Saya cried out worryingly.

"It's alright", I said calmly.

As to not make her worry any longer I decided to speed it up. Sliding underneath 6 of them as I kicked and broke one or both of these zombies legs as they piled up on the ground. There were now two left as they sluggishly ran up to me. I calmly dodged them and grabbed their head, slamming it into the ground, crushing it's head in.

*Ding*

[Level Up]

Silencing the notifications from the system, I walked over to the 6 that I immobilized and broke each of their necks as I got up and cleaned my hands off with one of the shirts the zombies wore. Looking up I saw Saya looking at me with a blush on her face and Kohta giving me a thumbs up with a grin. Takashi's group however stared at me with disbelief. One of them seemed to be pale however.

I didn't waste time and went towards the door leading to the roof and closed it, moving something in to block it. I climbed up the platform they were on and was met with a hug by Saya.

"Woah, easy there, you know I'm not going anywhere.", I said as I returned the hug.

"I was just worried, I don't want anything bad to happen to you after all." she said quietly, enough for me to understand.

"I can't die just yet you know" I told her, "Besides, I still haven't eaten you yet", I said in a seductive whisper.

Blushing, she just hid her face in my chest as Kohta grabbed me a water bottle from my bag and gave it to me.

"What the hell was that?!!", Hisashi exclaimed.

"I went to military boarding school in the US for most of my life, it's nothing really.", I said nonchalantly.

"Nothing?!!!! Those things grabbed me, an athlete, and almost strangled me to death! And then you calmly just took them out with your bare hands?!!!", Rei exclaimed.

"Pretty much, but I suggest you calm down. I don't want to deal with more of them.", I said, as I shrugged.

Takashi was looking at me like I was a threat, most likely to the display I just showed.

"Takashi, if I was your enemy, I would have you all eaten there." I told him, as Saya shot him a glare.

"Wait a minute! When you came into the classroom after Takashi did you know they were going to attack?" Hisashi questioned.

"Yes.", I said.

Takashi's group looked at me in shock and Takashi got enraged and grabbed my shirt separating Saya from me.

"How could you not warn anyone else? You could have saved lives?" Takashi asked me, anger visible on his face.

"Why should I? If I said that in front of everyone, there would have been panic and everyone would rush quickly into the mouths of those creatures down below? You should think about the things you say and who you're saying them to." I told him, "Besides, you also knew what was happening but didn't say a word to them. You went in there and got your friends just like I did so, and before I leave let me tell you something", I said in a deathly calm voice as I grabbed his shoulder

"What?" he could help but utter as he found himself on his knees.

"Know your place… you fool" I said as I looked down at him with a death glare, causing him to fall back in fear. Everybody was stunned but Rei came out of her shock and tried to apologize on his behalf, even though I didn't need it.

"I'm sorry about him, Kira. He was just too angry, that's all. He won't do it again."

"It's fine", I said, as I turned towards Hisashi, "Say what you need to say, you don't have much time as it is."

Everyone was surprised as they looked at Hisashi. I was correct. He had a gaping wound on his arm that he must have gotten prior to meeting us. A transfer of bodily fluids through a bite in the body is all it takes to turn into 'them' after all.

I pushed Rei and Takashi out of the way as they were confused by my actions.

"Why did you do that, Kira!!!

"Yeah, what's your problem?!" they shouted

"He doesn't have much time, he also doesn't have the will to kill himself so he wants one of you to kill him." I told them

"Wait, wait, wait, wait a minute. How do you know he's turning? He could be fine. We just need to get him to a hospital.", Rei said, denying it.

"Look at him",I pointed towards Hisashi as he was clinging to life where he was standing.

"Kira…right…ple…kill…m-" he fell to the ground, with blood pouring out of the wound that was exposed. Rei was crying as her boyfriend just died right there. She was near Hisashi as she was looking at his face.

"Rei got off his body."

"Wait! Why?!"

"Because, I'm going to kill him"

She was frantic now.

"KILL HIM?!!!!! HE'S DEAD ALREADY!!!!!!!" she screamed

"He's going to turn right now, so I'll put him out of his misery right now." I told her

"NO!!"

Takashi grabbed my shoulder as he was shaking. It seems he doesn't want me to kill him in front of Rei. But I didn't care. I am saving mine and my group's lives from their now dead friend.

I grabbed Rei and threw her to the side.

"WAITTTTTT!!!!!! DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!"

I didn't listen as the once human Hisashi, got up and growled at me, his skin color changed as well from its white texture.

"It's over"

I grabbed his neck and lifted him up with one hand as I threw him off the roof, into the concrete below. I saw the person that was once Hisashi land with a splash effect as his body parts flew all over the place, now deceased.

"WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!!!! HOW COULD YOU!!!" Rei screamed

"You guys weren't going to do it so I decided to do it so you didn't have to get blood on your hands" I told her.

She was going to slap me as Takashi stopped her.

"He was going to kill us. He didn't want to live like that. I know."

She continued to cry as I went back to my group who had a solemn look on their faces.

"This is a safe place, for now, you'll be safe here", I said, putting the duffle bag on the floor, grabbing mine and Saeko's katanas I turned towards the group, "Once I leave tie the gate shut, Kohta will protect you guys if anything else shows up.", my words drew everyone's attention.

"W-wait what do you mean Kohta, what about you?", Takashi asked in a nervous tone.

"I have to go back, there are some people I need to save", I said as I handed Kohta Archangel with some magazines. Looking at Saya I know she was worried about Saeko and Yuki as well but she didn't want me to leave. Gently caressing her cheek I smiled, leaned in and gave her a chaste kiss before turning around and walking down the stairs.

Passing through the gate, I turned to Saya, "Anybody else that comes before me, don't let them in, not unless they allow you to check for bites or scratches."

Saya nodded, "Please be careful out there."

I nodded, "Be safe", those were the last words I said before running towards the edge of the roof, jumping off I landed on the roof of the skywalk with a thud attracting all the nearby zombies. Swinging onto the bridge I kicked off a nearby zombie and began my massacre.

After Kira left Saya and Kohta began blocking the gate with tables and chairs after tying it up with a rope they found in the storage room. Once they were done tying the gate they went back up stairs to where the others were, the other two saw Saya come back up and they stayed silent.

"So he actually left", Takashi said in a quiet voice.

They remind silent for a bit, that was until Rei spoke, "How can you guys be friends with a murder like him?!" she said angrily.

Saya and Kohta were getting irritated and angry. They have every right to be angry as Kira changed their lives for the better and helped them with their problems, so hearing some ridicule him in their presence was infuriating to say the least. Taking a deep breath Saya began to calm her emotions before responding.

"Hisashi wasn't alive, Rei, you know that.. Kira did that to protect us.",

"Nobody asked for his protection, Hisashi, could have been fine if we took him to a hospital", Rei responded.

"Look around you Rei, the city is in smoke, people are stealing and looting people's homes and stores." Saya said, pointing towards the city, "It's time to face the facts, Hisashi was going to die and you know it, you just don't want to accept it."

Rei looked down, not refuting her words. She knew she was right, she's seen the people turn after getting bitten right in front of her after all.

After that, Saya and Kohta together apart from Takashi and Rei. The roof remained silent the entire time.
