High School Of The Dead:Odd Man Out. (FanFiction)

Chapter 25. A Word To The Wise

Fighting my way out of the blackness, I woke up to find myself in a luxury bed, my weapons and stuff put to one side, and a tape wrapping around my lower torso. Sitting up, I felt a slight twinge of pain where I was sliced. "So... You've decided to join the land of the living." A familiar voice purred. Whipping my head to the left, I saw Mr.Koichi, sitting with his back against the wall, staring at me. "Such a shame you lived.... but then again, how will you fulfil your vow?" Lunging at him, I fell of the bed and at his feet, writhing in pain. I saw Koichi stand in my agony, and bend down to me. "You, Mr.McAuliffe, are never safe. Not you, not Ms. Katya, and not your precious little Saeko either." Striking out, I managed to hit his knee, causing him to buckle a little, before chuckling at my punch. "Pathetic. I wonder how Saeko can stand your weakness." He said, kicking out and badly hurting my ribs. "Don't bother making your useless threats now. You know, somewhere in that gaijin head of yours, that I'm still on that bus." Looking up through tears, I strained to make sense of his madness. "Oh, never mind. Just listen to me. If I ever find you, I will make sure that a slice on the ribs will be your last problem." Raising his shoe, I realized that I wasn't really awake, and I must be dreaming. "Now, Mr.McAuliffe, if you would be so kind as to go die." Bringing his shoe down on my head, the last thing I remember before blacking out was hearing Koichi say, "Enjoy your safety, gaijin. I'll be seeing you real soon."
