Chapter 35: Rei Miyamoto

"James just a friend," James responded. He added, "Things are going to get a lot worse, those things probably have entered the school." 

Takashi nodded. He looked at them. "I understand," Takashi replied. He saw a suitcase next to Jasmine. 

"Do you have more weapons like those?" Takashi asked. 

James paused for a second. He did however they were for him and his future girls. He did not really want to give them to anyone else; however, temporary they could be useful. 

"James, we don't have too many guns right now, and the ammunition is low," Lois replied. 

"We need to head to a place where we can secure more guns and there is one place here, I have been told we can get more," James explained. 

"For now, keep close to us," James added.

"This is not a good plan, but I understand, you probably could not know the scale," Takashi responded. He thought there was something fishy, however arguing was not an option right now. 

"I know you think we should have brought more but space was an issue but we will get more," James remarked. 

Takashi nodded, "Let's go," Takashi said. 

James nodded. Takashi started to light jog down the stairs. "Jasmine, Lois keep together and follow us, keep the guns out of sight for now," James ordered.

"Okay," Jasmine and Lois replied. 

James ran after Takashi. They entered a long corridor. The corridor was largely empty, most of the students were inside the class. James looked out the window and could see the zombies walking slowly on the playground. They are moving fast, James thought. He looked back to Jasmine and Lois at the start of the corridor. 

Takashi stopped in front of a door. He swung it open with force. There was a loud slam. The entire class's attention went towards Takashi. "Mr Komoro," a voice was heard in the background. Takashi ignored the voice. He walked towards a girl who was staring out the window. The girl had waist-length orange-brown hair that was tied in a single small ponytail on the back of her head. She had reddish-brown eyes, a small nose and mouth. She had a slender finger and narrow waist. Her legs were long. She had a slender figure. The girl wore a green skirt and had black leggings that went past her knees. She had worn a white uniform with a green at the top near her shoulders. Her breasts were about E cups. 

He grabbed the girl and pulled her up from her seat. "Come on, we are getting out of here," Takashi stated. 

"What?" the girl replied. She was confused but blushed slightly. 

At that moment, Saya stood up. She pouted and looked annoyed at Takashi. 

"What's going on Takashi, why are you pulling Rei up?" a boy asked. He had an average height with a slim build. He had gray hair and brown eyes. He had a long nose and small mouth.

"Some people outside just got killed. It's dangerous here, Hisashi," Takashi replied, his voice carrying a weight of urgency.

Hisashi's expression twisted into a mixture of disbelief and concern. "Seriously?" he responded.

Takashi nodded, his gaze unwavering. "What would I gain from lying?" he stated bluntly.

"Back-up," Rei yelled. 

She moved back. Takashi was about to slap Rei when James caught his hand. "Easy," James commented. 

Takashi and Hisashi looked at him. Takashi looked a bit mad at James for interfering. He tried to move his hand but he was struggling. 

James let go. "That is no way to talk to a lady," James flirted. He approached Rei and held her hand. 

Rei's gaze lingered on the stranger. There was an intriguing aura about him, something distinct in his scent. It was a pleasant and unique scent. Rei couldn't help but note the subtle nuances that hinted at his character, his body looked strong and big. He appeared to be just slightly older than her but she had never seen him before, neither in the corridors of her school nor in the familiar haunts of her daily life. 

Rei felt a flush of warmth creeping up her cheeks as this man held her. "Takashi means well but he can be a bit rash," James calmly said. He took her to the window and pointed at a person walking strangely. He had an open wound and his eyes looked dead.

"That is the problem, those zombies will kill us all," James stated. Rei looked and nodded. 

Hisashi cleared his throat. James let go and smiled. "We will go soon," James stated. 

"We should go now," Takashi agreed. 

At that moment, Jasmine walked into the classroom. "James," Jasmine said. The entire call attention went to her soft and majestic voice. They all looked and saw a dazzling beauty, someone who looked like she came out of a movie. Jasmine to them looked like a fairy tale princess. As she moved, there was grace in her step. 

"Wow," a voice heard in the background. 

"She is beautiful." a girl said, amazed by her beauty. Jasmine ignored their comments, she only cared about James' opinion however, she had a sense of unease. This was different to what she had back home. This was a place of education for everyone. She looked around at their faces, blissfully unaware of the horrors taking place outside. She saw their eyes on her. She thought, was there something else she could do to save them. 

James looked at Jasmine. She was a beauty for sure, his beauty. "Just two more minutes," James added again. 

Lois came with the suitcase and stood at the door. She pulled the suitcase into the classroom. She looked at the girl next to James, she thought was definitely pretty close to Jasmine`s age. Lois knew James was after her. She also looked at the two other boys next to him. She felt sorry for them. 

At that moment, the sudden crackle of the PA system shattered the tense silence. A female voice, clear and authoritative, echoed through the corridors.

"Attention All Students," the voice rang out. James looked up to the PA system and smiled. 

"Violence has broken out on the campus," the voice continued. "Students should evacuate as per the teacher's instruction," the voice instructed.
