The Beauty Of Annihilation

Chapter 2 - A Smile To Protect

Here I am again. Back to try and make another chapter of this chaotic stuff. Zombies and all that, making life miserable.

Let's get going.

Takashi, Saeko, Rei, Hisashi, Hirano and even Shizuka are all getting irritated by Shidō and his speeches. He keeps making these heroic speeches to win the students hearts and it's working on most of the students. Most because these six aren't listening.

"Hisashi, I would rather go skinny-dipping than be here listening to that man talk, if we don't get off this bus soon I might actually go insane!" Rei complained as she was ready to jump off this bridge.

"I'm actually agreeing with you. We should get off here. It's safer and more importantly, brighter." Hisashi said as Rei felt like she was happier to hear that than when he said he liked her too.

Takashi was thinking about how Brian and Saya were. He hadn't seen them. They'd recognise the bus, so where are they?

"I'm positive they'll be fine." Saeko said.

"Yeah, I'm sure they will. Can't help but worry though." Takashi said agreeing with her.

"Brian isn't going to die easily. There's a fighter in him, he wouldn't allow that." She said looking at him.

Takashi hasn't talked to Saeko much before. Maybe share a glance once or twice back then, but never talk like this.

"Guess I should have faith in them then. I'm sure he just forgot what the bus looked like." Takashi said looking out the window.

Maybe they shouldn't wait here for them. Maybe they should get out and look for them. Make them easier to spot for the two. Cause at the moment the bus was goin nowhere. Traffic is a bitch. The problem was some cars were abandoned and they're trying to clear the road.

Hirano was waiting for when the others wanted to get off. He wanted to be nowhere near this guy. Not after all the shit that asshole put Hirano through.

Rei and Hisashi stood up.

"So, you guys gonna sit and rot or follow us and get out of here?" Rei asked the other three.

"Huh? Oh hell yeah, beats sitting and waiting to die." Takashi said gladly standing up.

Just then one of the asshole students stopped Takashi.

"Hey, you're Takashi right? How the hell did you make it out of that hell alive?" The guy asked.

"Probably dumb luck." One of the others said.

"Honestly I'm surprised Hisashi is still breathin. Thought you would have mistaken him for a zombie after he took your girl."

They think he's still bothered by that?

"Fuck off, I'm over it. If she's happy with him then that's all I care about. And anyway we have more important shit to deal with than relationships." Takashi said simply. "Come on let's get out of here."

"Thank God. I felt like I was actually dying in here." Rei said already at the door.

"Now hold on there Miyamoto. I don't recall telling you that you could leave." Shidō said with that sick grin.

"She can go where she wants asshole." Takashi defended.

"None of us are tied to you. We can leave of our own free will." Hisashi said following his girlfriend.

"You comin Saeko?" Takashi answered.

"And join in on the proper fun? Absolutely. You know how to get a girl excited Takashi." Saeko said standing up with a smile.
