Hitting The Books Part Two

They traveled a few streets over to find the public library in ruins. The whole building had come down on top of itself. Seeing this Ai could only sigh but she was determined to find the books that both she and Mai needed. "This may take a while..." Ai said as she walked forward and began clearing a path.

"We will help Ai, so no matter how long it takes we will find what you need." Shizune said as she went forward to help. Mai was right behind her. The rest looked at each other before also going forward.

The group dug through the books at different locations moving heavy debris well into the night. The moon was full on this night which gave a lot of light for them to see with. "If you wish to rest go ahead I will take first watch" Ai could tell some of them were beginning to get tired.

"No, Ai you rest first. Your father and I will take the first watch." Shizune pushed Ai to go rest while she pulled out her pistol and sat on a stack of books looking out into the darkness. Seji walked over and sat next to her. Ai did not say a word and only nodded her head. She, herself, was also tired.

An hour passed and the night grew silent. The sounds of screaming could be heard far off into the distance. What the screams were for, was up to one's imagination. "Nene, are you going to be okay with this new way of life?"

Shizune faintly smiled and nodded her head. "After experiencing the cruelty of this new world first hand and seeing what had happened to that girl, I am no longer fazed by much of anything. Ai was right from the start. Everyone who is not us is an enemy. Maybe even we will one day turn into an enemy...."

This thought loomed over their heads. Their group was in harmony now but what happens in the future when things turn south and there was only a chance for a few to get away. Who would turn on who? Who would use who as a sacrifice? These were all questions that lingered in each of their minds.

"No matter what. As long as Ai and Mai get away I will sacrifice myself." Seiji said. He did not care if he had to die to keep the young ones alive. He was already prepared to do so. They still had their lives ahead of them and Ai can always make sure Mai is able to survive in this new world.

"I agree with that. " Shizune said as she leaned her head on to Seiji's shoulder.

"Oh, what do we have here? Two families trying to hide out in our territory?" A voice came from behind them. When Seiji and Shizune turned around they saw a group of young men, some in their teens and some in their twenties. Their faces both fell quickly.

"Brother look they got some cuties over here. Let's train them to be our little love slaves." Another young man yelled out when he looked at Ai and Mai sleeping at the side.

Ai on the other hand was a light sleeper and knitted her brows when she heard the boy's comment. Her eyes snapped open and she glared at the young man who spoke. "You need to shut the fuck up before I come over there and cut your dick off."

"Oh! Brother the little love toy has spunk, let me train her good!" The young man showed no fear as he laughed and made another comment. The other young men all let out a laugh.

Ai on the other hand got up and picked up her blood soaked axe. It was only then, did the laughter of the others become stifled, leaving only the young man who kept saying things still laughing. Ai took one step at a time each step caused the young men to back up a single step until she was right next to the man who was still laughing away. "Say it again."

The young man stopped laughing upon hearing a young girl's voice. He opened his eyes to see the young girl with a bloody axe standing in front of him. He felt a chill run up his spine as he turned to look at his so called brothers who had all backed away. "You! What do you want?" The young man stammered in fear.

"I want you to repeat what you were going to make me and my sister do? You wanted to train me? You wanted to make me and my sister your sex toys? How about this?" Ai finished her words and swung her axe sideways at the man's crotch. There was a splat sound and a howl of pain as the young man screeched in agony. Ai's aim was right on the money and severed his lower member without issue slicing the axe deep into his thighs. "There you go. I gave you, your very own sex toy and even changed your sex for you. Go ahead and try it out."

The young man's eyes rolled up into the back of his head as he fainted. Ai snorted and spit on the young man before looking at the other five men. "Dad, Mom, kill them. But keep this one alive he will be used for Mai's practice."

*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*

Five shots, five young men laid on the ground. The young men did not even have time to react before they were all shot. Ai watched as her mother and father walked over and finished them off. Watching this scene let the last of her fears for the future vanish. They both worked together without any hesitation.

Ai worked to tie up the other young man while her parents dragged the dead ones out of the way. Mai and her parents both woke up when the gunshots went off. "What happened?"

"Got you a handsome young man to practice medicine on. Well, I changed his sex, so young lady?" Ai said nonchalantly, causing Mai to look over at the tied up young man with a bloody crotch.
