hunting in the dead of night

10 minutes. That's all it took for us to clear out...

Werewolf Strength 3/4 - 2,279/7,500 - 3,907/7,500

Regeneration stage 2/4 - 411/600 - 458/600

Wolf King's Wisdom - 9/50 -10/50

That many zombies... Nice. Saya was laying by my side, panting like crazy. Saeko was standing on top of a mini mountain of corpses, sword impaled in the hill, like a fucking warlord, and Shizuka was laying in my lap, napping away with a smile on her face. I looked around the mall, which was mostly destroyed with slash, claw marks, or straight up craters all over the place.

Shizuka punched like a locomotive, Saya learned to use aura on her claws, I had no idea when, and used slashes with me, and Saeko went crazy with her sword. She didn't use too much aura, reserving it for the end when she coated her sword in it, and swung the shot out like a fucking anime move, and it was cool as shit. I looked at my girlfriends, and nodded.

"Samurai, come on over real quick!" Shizuka started to stir, and Saeko looked interested. She took her sword out of the hill, and started walking over. I held out an arm for her, and she dropped to my side, and snuggled into it. I grabbed Saya with my other arm, and she squeaked as I brought her to my side. We cuddled together, and both girls took in the hug. Shizuka woke up after I brought in Saya, pouted as she saw the cuddling going on, and just sat in my lap to make up for it.

"... So... When do you girls want your dates?" They all reacted to that, and I saw them all blink at me.

"You were serious about that? Zaka, it's the literal apocalypse. Where are you even going to take us?" That was a good question, though I had a few ideas in mind.

"Of course I was serious about that. I may have gone ass backwards and skipped stages with almost all of you, but I do want to take you all out sometimes. Samurai wants to go to Mt. Fuji, Shizuka... Wants to go places. I'm not sure about you or Rika, but I have some ideas. And so what? It's about time I decided to go full tilt and work on cleaning out every zombie in Japan and around the world." I saw them all react differently to that. Shizuka's eyes sparkled like gems, Saeko looked genuinely surprised, and Saya was just stunned.

"Where do we get to go?! Come on Silver tell me!" Shizuka was practically bouncing in my lap, and I used my Buddha level will power to ignore the way her ass and breasts felt against me, and looked at her.

"I've been thinking of Ireland. Our little cub here put some pieces together, I'm not fucking sure what, and figured out I'm Irish. I've been to the good old land of Ire before, I've had centuries of time to explore, and I like the idea of showing it to you." Shizuka was pretty much zoned in to whatever fantasy she was having, and I looked at my other girlfriends. Saeko was still stunned at the offer, so I turned to Saya... Who had a smug grin on her face.

"I knew it! By the way, is stone-hendge an actual magic artifact or something?" I thought about it, looked through the memories I was getting from Wolf King's Wisdom about my past, and hummed.

"I think that was supposed to do something for us, but I think it broke at some point. I wasn't the king at that time, so it was before my time." Saya just stared at me, and I saw her brain stop for a second.

"I... I was joking." I laughed at that, and that seemed to break out my other girls from their stupor. Shizuka started hugging me even more, and I saw Saeko smile. A genuine one. Saeko usually smiled with something behind it. Some hidden delight at the chance to tease, hurt, fuck, or other things like that. But this was different. There was genuine joy and happiness in her eyes and on her face, and I loved seeing that.

"My lord, I'll follow you wherever you go." I smiled at that, and held her a little tighter.

"Anyway! Are you serious? Clearing out all of THEM I mean." Saeko and Shizuka both blinked at that, and turned to me.

"Well yeah. I want to get back to full power, killing zombies does that for me. If we really went for it, I'd probably clear out Japan in a month. After that, I'll take you all around the world, exploring and killing zombies. It'll be a vacation and date opportunities all in one."

"... But where are we going to get the vehicles? We can't fly... RIGHT?!" I laughed at that.

"No, we can't. That was the vamps thing. I'll just get Rika to steal us a chopper or something." I could've just taken one when I was there, but oh well.

"... I don't think the military is just going to let us have a chopper Zaka. Working vehicles are going to be rarer then diamonds at this rate, and the military is going to hold onto any and every vehicle they can get." Which was true, but hey, I didn't need to listen to them.

"You do realize I could just go grab or threaten one out of them the next time I go to Rika, right?" Saya blinked, then looked at me like I was an idiot.

"Sure. Threaten the military and take one of their vehicles, sounds like an ingenious idea, why didn't I think of that?" I laughed at the pure sarcasm in her words and just shook my head.

I was about to say more, but then the rest of the pack started coming down. We all turned to them, saw they were in their wolf forms carrying people, and got up to go over to them. The mall group were almost all doubled up on their backs, and I grinned when I saw Asami was 'riding' Kohta. They probably wouldn't be able to talk for a bit, so I just looked at the rest of them, and nodded.

"Alright. Want to go to the Humvee and drive them to the Takagi's, or run there first and get the Humvee later?" I saw Takashi think about it, and turn his head to look over the mall group. Most if not all of them were scared stiff when they looked at the destruction and sea of zombies and body parts. Takashi saw all of that, and raised two claws. I nodded at that, and shifted.

My girlfriends followed my example, and shifted after. Saeko had to take a bit to make sure her sword was fastened to her back well enough, since she didn't want to lose it, and barked when she was ready. With that done, we all ran out of the mall, and started heading to the Takagi's. The pack members carrying people had to go slow, so a trip that would take 30 minutes at least, took almost a full hour. I mean, it was good exercise for them, but it was still a little boring for me.

We made it to the Takagi estate, and I saw something interesting. There was an area being cordoned off, and being filled with animals. I could see some rabbits, a pair of boar, deer, and... (Is that fucking chicken? Where!? HOW?!) I just stared at the chickens, and ignored the rest of my pack going into the estate. They passed through the gate, without guards raising an issue, and brought the survivors in. I followed in after them, and eventually perched myself on the roof.

(No idea how long we'll be here for. They'll probably go visit Alice, Saya will talk with her parents, and I'll just chill up here till they're ready to go... Yay.) I was never good with kids. I never had Ashleen in my life, I was too busy training and ruling to find the time for a kid. That coupled with me never having any, even by accident back in my first life, meant I wasn't really sure how to interact with them... (I'm going to end up having kids aren't I? At the very least, Shizuka will want one, and I can't say no to her.)

That train of thought hit me like a jet going full speed. I had to forcibly derail it before I thought about it anymore. (Unless they bring it up, out of sight out of mind.) I nodded to myself, and went back to doing nothing else of note. Though after a few minutes, Saya and her parents hopped onto the roof, and I turned to them. Saya's dad was a Honshu, and her mom was the same kind as Saya.

I was somewhat curious about what they wanted, so I shifted, and sat on the ledge and looked at them. They all shifted, and I could tell this was going to be a serious conversation. Saya came over and sat by my side, and her parents sat together in front of me. I raised a brow at this, but turned when I saw Saya's dad open his mouth.

"Saya has told us you plan on clearing the undead out of Japan and eventually, travel the world to do the same. Are you truly serious about that statement." Ah, that.

"Yeah. I've got no reason not too. Like I told the cub earlier, I want my power back, and killing zombies will give it to me. It's been a week, and I'm strong enough to clear out zombies by the thousands now. A month of actually looking for them and hunting them down? I could probably get enough of them out to give Japan breathing room to start to fix itself." Both parents looked at me, shock clearly on their faces, and I could see Saya looked a little proud.

"... Then what will you do?" I turned to Saya's mother, and blinked.

"After I re-kill the dead?" She nodded, and all three Takagi's looked at me after that. I already knew what I wanted to do, so that was an easy answer. "Simple. We travel. This world's a little fucked at the moment, but there's still some beautiful sights. I'll travel with the pack, take em around the world, then go from there." I saw a flash of appreciation in the eyes of Saya's mother, then I saw her pause.

"What do you mean when you say this world?" I blinked. She caught it, and then I grinned. Fucking with people was always a great thing to do.

"Multiverse." When I said that, I saw all of their eyes widen. Saya even did the 'slowly turning head' thing, and just looked at me like I was prancing around a field of zombies with my dick out.

"Zaka... Repeat that please?" I laughed.

"The multiverse. It's real, and I'll travel it with my pack when I'm strong enough to go." Saya blinked again, and then I watched her brain stutter and crash. She just passed out into my side, and I laughed again.

"... I'm never asking you a question ever again." I laughed even harder at that, and watched them get up and just leave. Saya eventually woke up, and I watched her remember the reason she passed out. She looked at me again, and I could tell she was going between 'ask' and 'don't ask' and I decided to just choose for her.

"Yes, you heard me right last time. I'm too weak right now, but I'll eventually be able to travel. And yes, I AM going to bringing you and whoever else wants to go." I was pretty sure I could. Those bonus objectives were said to be extra features, and if there WASN'T a 'bring others along' feature, I was going to lose it.

"HOW?! How do you even know you can do that?" Funnily enough, I had an actual explanation for that.

"Remember that noble house that got eradicated?" She nodded, curious where I was going with this. "They got the idea of zombies from their family Soul Weapon. I'll explain those later. Theirs allowed them to look into the past and future. Now you might have no idea on how that translates to multiverse viewing, but when they collaborated with the other magical Soul Weapon of another house, they got it. They were planning on looking further into the future, and they got that on accident. I found out about it when the whole 'eradication of a noble house' thing went on, and got the information out of a survivor of the situation.

After that, I worked on finding my own way to travel. And I did. I just didn't have enough power to do it. It ended up a forgotten project for me after a while. But now? With millions if not billions of free bags of energy roaming the world? I'll get enough from them to pull it off." Funnily enough, they saw a Resident Evil world, and not the HOTD world.

Saya just took it all in, and I watched as her brain processed all of it. "Zaka... How many do you think you'd need?" Thank you counter that tells me just how many I'd need.

"1,000,000,000. I know that'll be enough. Though an extra billion for extra measure wouldn't hurt." Saya just stared at me, then put her head in her hands.

"You're unbelievable. When did my life get so weird?" I snorted at that.

"When the fucking zombie apocalypse broke out." She groaned at that, but I laughed and ruffled her hair. She whined in annoyance, but didn't swat my hand out of her hair.

"How does that even work? I get the multiverse theory, I liked to think about having a debate with another version of myself before, but are there infinite versions of ourselves out there? Really infinite worlds?" I hummed at that.

"Probably. Some worlds are weird, but there are some cool ones too." I saw Saya look interested, and then sigh immediately afterwards.

"I can't believe I'm about to ask this... But what's the... Weirdest world you've seen?" I had to fall back onto my memories for that. When I was Muzaka, I DID see some worlds. Then I blinked at one of the worlds I had seen.

"Super roaches." Saya blinked.

"What?"

"Yeah. Super roaches. Body builder levels of buff and other shit..." She just stared at me, and I saw her questioning life as she knew it. She brought her head back into her hands, and I just laughed again. I was pretty sure I never watched that anime, and past me was just as confused as Saya was. "If it makes you feel better, there's a world where almost the entire population get born with super powers." Saya didn't even move at that.

"Just... Just let me process this. My brain can't handle everything you're telling me."

"Aww, that giga brain of yours is finally meeting its match huh?" She scoffed at that, and smacked me upside the head. I hummed at that and just looked at the annoyed face Saya was making at me.

"I wonder why? If only there was some centuries old Werewolf king I could have tell me why I'm questioning reality as I know it." I gave her a grin for that, then she huffed at me and turned away. "Let's just go back to the others, an...- Oh." I raised a brow at that. She just stopped talking, and turned to the ledge to peer over it. I was curious, so I followed, and I saw it.

The rest of the pack were on the balcony, just staring up at us. Shizuka had her eyes sparkling like diamonds, Saeko looked visibly excited, and the rest of them just looked as confused as Saya was. I blinked at them, and just turned back to Saya. She looked at me, and rolled her eyes. "I'm still processing everything, you go ahead and break their views on reality mutt."

I snorted and gave her a peck on the lips before I jumped over and went to my pack. Which was joined by Asami, which I wasn't surprised at.

I landed by Shizuka and Saeko, and looked at everyone. "So, how much did you hear anyway?" The kids were too stunned to answer, so I looked at Kiriko. Shizuka was in her own world, and Saeko had latched onto me like I was a body pillow. So I wasn't going to get an answer from either of them.

"Essentially all of it... Why couldn't you be a normal Werewolf? Why do you have to be this fucking crazy?" I laughed at that, and only stopped when I felt Shizuka latch onto me. I turned to her, and blinked.

"Yes Shizuka?"

"Superheros are real!?" Uh oh. The look in her eyes and the smile of pure joy on her face was too much for my heart.

(Note to self. Figure out how to go to My Hero and bring Shizuka.)

"Uh... Yes?" She visible shinned, and I worried for the future. The rest of the pack was still stunned, and I sighed. This was going to be a long day.

{2 hours later}

After explaining, MULTIPLE TIMES, the rest of the pack wrapped their heads around the fact the multiverse existed, and we had eventually made it back home, with the Humvee too. I was currently dealing with an over excited Saeko in my lap, who had dragged me up to our room with Shizuka and Saya, and I had to start making concessions.

"I'll take you wherever I go, yes. I'll make sure the first world we go too lets you kill lots and lots of things... Saeko, I've agreed to things like that for the past hour. Can we talk about something else now?" She hadn't stopped making me promise to find a world that'd challenge her. I didn't mind that, I wanted them to grow after all, but this was getting ridiculous.

"I just want to be sure my lord. I can fight for however long I want, die with family by my side, and fight opponents I could never even think of? That's everything I'd ever need! And all we need to get it is have you commit a massacre of unheard of proportions? We need to get started now!" Her enthusiasm and the excitement in her voice made me sigh. Shizuka and Saya were just looking at the scene, amused.

"We need to talk about this with the rest of the pack though Saeko." She nodded like a bobble head, and got out of my lap. We watched her race out of the room, and towards the stairs. I laid back into the bed, and just looked at the ceiling. "I should've kept my big mouth shut and waited for another time to say it." Saya laughed at my suffering, and I sent an annoyed glare at her. I watched her stick her tongue out at me, and I huffed.

"But your mouth does good things Silver. If you kept it shut it wouldn't be as fun when we kiss or have sex." Saya choked on air, and Shizuka was just giving me an innocent look. It was worse cause it really was innocent. I just sighed again.

"Shizuka... Never change please."

"Okay!" She didn't even hesitate to say that. She was going to be the death of me one day, and I found that I didn't mind.

"My lord! Pack meeting in the living room!" That was interesting. I got out of bed, let Shizuka cling to me as Saya followed closely behind me, and went downstairs. When we got there, everyone was there, Asami included, and they were looking at me. I walked over to a good spot, sat on the floor, let Shizuka put her head in my lap, and looked over to Saeko. Then she told me why we were doing this in the first place.

"Everyone has a few questions they've thought of while we were upstairs. Takashi, you wished to go first?" I looked at Takashi, and he nodded.

"Uh, Sir. Zaka. Would we be able to come back?"

"Yeah. I'm pretty sure we could go and come back later. Maybe not right away, but I'll figure it out when I get the power to do it. What else ya wanna know Mini-me?"

"Are we going to leave right away?" I was going to answer, but then Saeko did for me.

"YES!" I blinked, turned to Saeko, and raised a brow. She met my look, and gave me the FUCKING EYES! I snapped my gaze down towards Shizuka, and watched as she smiled towards Saeko.

(I've been betrayed!) I turned back to Saeko, and tried to fight it. But I was fighting a losing war. I eventually gave in, and sighed. "Fine. We'll go when I fully figure out how to do everything. Is that ok Saeko?" She stopped giving me the eyes, and rushed to hug my side and give me a kiss on the lips. I took it in, and sighed after she broke it off.

"Thank you my lord!" I was developing a weakness to my girlfriends, and I was finding that I didn't care. After that, I looked back to Takashi. He looked a little embarrassed, as did Rei, Kohta and Asami, and I waited for his other questions or statements. When he got himself together, he coughed into his hand, and looked at me. Though he looked a little conflicted as he did.

"Then... I think we might not be able to come with you Sir. Zaka. Not right away at least." I raised a brow at that.

"I don't mind. What's up Mini-me?" He looked relieved that I didn't lash out at him, and took another breath in.

"I talked about this with the rest of us... And we decided to help our world first. We want to get rid of THEM before we decide to go on an adventure. Though we WILL come with you eventually." I nodded at that. It made sense, it really did.

"That's fine. Anything else you want to bring up Mini-me?" He looked at me, then shook his head.

"No. We'll just go back to doing what we were originally going to do." That was fine.

"Then want to go kill zombies and find your parents to get your mind off this?" Takashi and Rei nodded, and I gently got up. Shizuka whined at me getting up, and I just sighed and shifted. Shizuka happily squealed, and got on my back. Saeko followed, and I had both of them riding me. Saya looked jealous, and I just sent her a look that'd promise to let her ride later.

The rest of the pack, minus Asami who rode on Kohta's back, shifted and followed me out of the house. From there, we looked around, and started the hunt for Rei's dad.

{3 hours later}

The sun set a while ago, and it was during the night that we found the trail. Just like in the manga, we made it to the police station, put down any zombies, and looked around. Kohta and Asami broke off to search for weapons and ammo, Takashi, Rei and Kiriko looked for traces of Tadashi, and my girls stayed with me. We eventually gathered in the room with the computer, and Saya got the thing to tell us about the school.

After that, Rei and Kiriko found the message from Tadashi, and we all shifted, Shizuka wanted to run this time, and started to make our way there... Well, Saya claimed my back before Saeko could, so Saya was the only one, aside from Asami, that was riding on wolf back.

Rei and Kiriko were the most excited and were running a little ahead of everyone, though Takashi was right there with them. I forgot that his mom worked at the school, but it was manga logic, so eh. We kept on running, and Saya shifted when it started to rain. When it started to get REALLY bad, we had to make a stop by the store from the manga, and get Asami a rain coat. Sure we'd be fine, but Asami was the only one that didn't get a bite. Kohta wanted to do the bite, but Asami hadn't proven herself enough for his bite yet.

It was after 3 total hours of running around, that we made it to the school. And to our surprise, there were a few choppers on the grounds, and they hadn't left yet. That made the hopeful trio run towards the grounds even faster, almost ignoring the military men stationed around the area. Thankfully, they realized we had someone that'd die if they were shot.

We all stopped a ways away, and shifted after Saya and Asami got off. We all looked at each other, and had a small meeting.

"So, you three ready?" They looked at me, and I saw the hope in Rei's eyes. Kiriko and Takashi looked excited, and they all nodded at me. I took that in, and looked over to the school. There were military men, in gear similar to the guys I saw from the airport, and I saw they were all loaded. "Well, try not to get shot atleast." Kiriko snorted at that, and we all formed up to go to the school.

We got into the range of the closest guard, and heard him call out to us. From there, it was a normal process. A check for bites, identifying ourselves, and then being allowed into the building. It took... 5 minutes? For Rei and Kiriko to find Tadashi, and a minute after that for Takashi to find his mom. It was a nice sight, and it made everyone else happy.

They told us about the plan to evacuate to the airport, and I groaned as I smashed my head into a wall. "I could've just waited another day? I must be getting fucked with." It made sense when I thought about it. The biggest military presence we knew of was the airport. Why wouldn't the military bring survivors to the location they set up and had relatively defended? It all made so much sense when I REALLY thought about.

"It's ok Silver. You can't be the smartest boy all the time." Shizuka rubbing my back and comforting me wasn't helping as much as she thought it was. It just made me feel dumber.

"I should've fucking asked before I left. Ugh!"

"There there Silver." I got out of my annoyance when I felt Shizuka stop rubbing my back and start running her fingers through my hair. That did the trick, and I just sighed as she kept doing it.

From there, a bunch of stuff happened. We split up, Takashi, Rei and Kiriko stayed with their loved ones, Kohta and Asami walked around, spending time with each other, and my girls and I went around the place, just talking with each other. Saeko was interested in getting to travel as soon as possible, Shizuka just wanted to travel in general, and Saya was interested in learning new things about and from the worlds we'd go too.

After a while, the rest of the day passed us by, and eventually, it was time to sleep. I didn't know where we'd sleep, but Shizuka found an empty classroom, somehow, and we went into it. There was a good corner I liked, and I shifted and walked over to it. Shizuka came over and put my head in her lap, Saeko shifted to lay by my side, and Saya just leaned into Shizuka's side. We went to sleep together, and we slept the night away.

{The next day}

I woke up to Shizuka running her hands through my fur, and opened my eyes to look at her. She must've been up for a bit, since she didn't seem to be as tired as she usually was. She smiled at me when she noticed I was waking up, and started to hum as she scratched my ears. "Morning Silver." She probably didn't want to wake Saeko or Saya, and I was fine with that. I stayed in her lap for a bit, and just took in her affection.

After a few minutes, Saeko started stirring, and Saya followed. With both girls waking up, I decided to shift, and start the morning. Shizuka hugged me when I shifted, and I kissed her. She ate up the affection, and only let me go when Saeko shifted. I saw the look Saeko was giving me, and chuckled as I gave her a kiss of her own.

"Ahem." I turned to the sound, and saw Saya looking both embarrassed and jealous. I smirked at that.

"Hmm? Does the cub want something?" I saw her cheeks get a little brighter, but she rolled her eyes at the bait.

"Just kiss me mutt!" I hummed, and did it. Saya was the only one I'd never actually done anything with. We kissed once, and that was it. Meanwhile I fucked my other girlfriends, so I had to make sure she enjoyed our first actual kiss. And judging by the almost full moan she gave me when I kissed her, I'd say she enjoyed it. After we broke it off, I saw Saeko give Saya a cheeky grin, and Shizuka just looked happy.

We started the day from there, and after a breakfast with the rest of the pack, and waiting for an hour, the ex-fill started. The pack and I, minus Rei and Kiriko, ran on the ground, and followed after the choppers. It wasn't exactly a hard thing to do, I could run faster then it, but the others weren't as fast. Saeko aside, the rest of them were maybe faster then regular wolves. Keeping up with a chopper would be difficult for them to do, but it would work as good exercise for them.

Though, we didn't even need to follow them. We could've just let them pass and just run to the airport. We knew that was where we'd be going, and we could get there on our own. Though we still followed, and after 3 hours of following, we made it to the airport. The rest of the pack met back up together, but Shizuka and I broke off and went looking for Rika.

We spent around 10 minutes looking for her, since she was put on some kind of operation and would only be coming back in a bit, but we found her anyway. Rika was running ahead of a car, in her wolf form, and she ended up putting on the jets when she saw Shizuka and I waiting for her. When she got in range, she jumped, and shifted mid air. She came down on the both of us, and just ignored me for Shizuka! Rude!

"Rika! So that's where Silver's coat went!" I blinked.

"... Why did no one ask me about where it went?" Shizuka just looked at me, and blinked.

"I don't know. I just liked your new one more so I didn't mind." ... Ok. Rika just looked between us, raised a brow, and went back to hugging Shizuka.

"Just goes to show you're not THAT important Silver." I huffed at that.

"I'm the most important person in the world and we all know it."

"Uhuh, keep telling yourself that Silver. What ever helps you sleep at night." I clicked my tongue at her, and turned to Shizuka.

"She doesn't deserve the hug anymore, I want one now." Shizuka just started to look between Rika and I, and I saw Rika glare at me.

"Don't listen to the man child Shizuka, keep hugging me." Shizuka was looking between us now, and I could tell she was starting to get conflicted. After a minute of that, I just sighed and hugged her and Rika.

We held the hug for a bit, then broke it off. From there, we walked back to the base, and filled Rika in on the plan... And I was a little scared when I saw her eyes spark at the idea of going to other worlds.

"Silver. Can I shoot a dragon?" Uh oh.

"Depends. Which kind do you want to shoot?"

"THERE ARE OPTIONS!?" Oh god.

(Forgive me future dragons. But it's better if it's you and not me.) I cleared my throat, and tried not to look at Rika's hungry gaze. "Western dragons, eastern dragons, lesser dragons. Things like that." When I said 'Western dragon' both Rika and Shizuka started to vibrate in joy.

"YES! I'M FUCKING HUNTING DRAGONS!" Rika's shout echoed across the field, and not even a second later, I heard running. I looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Saeko, who was dragging a screaming Saya by the arm, come towards us... And she looked like she was moments away from dragging me along too and either fucking me or bringing me towards a zombie horde.

"I'm so fucking stupid." It was going to be a long day, and an even longer few months.
