High School Of The Dead:The Forgotten Years. (HOTD Fanfic)

Chapter Three. A High Note.

Hunting through the forest, I crouched down to see a imprint of a hoof print. "Pig." I muttered,  the comment half directed at Takashi, who had left me alone by staying near shore, and Hirano spear-hunting for fish. "Why is it that I always get the dirty jobs?" I asked out loud, swatting away some pesky bugs that whined in my face. Freezing my swat in mid swing, I listened, trying to pick out a certain noise...

Hurrrrt... Snuff

 I heard a grunting noise, followed by a snort. Scrambling up a tree, I perched myself on a branch over the trail, dagger at the ready. A few tense moments later, a large boar stepped out from the underbrush, and directly under my hiding spot. Dropping down, I landed on the boars rough back, and stuck my blade into the side of his fat neck. Blood gushed out as the boar squealed, trying to throw me off.

 Drawing my blade out, I stabbed it's neck, causing the pig to collapse, motionless. "Ugh..pig blood." I said, spitting the blood out of my mouth. It tasted like I was drinking liquid metal, and the feel of it in my mouth was disgusting, almost like a slime. Cleaning up my blade, I hauled the beast into my shoulders, grunting under its weight. "I can squat 300 pounds, but you, my piggy pal, need to take it easy on the eating." I said to the pig, making my way to the beach. "Have you ever heard of something called portion control? You could use it."

 It had taken me at least five hours to get the pig and get back, round trip, because when I arrive back, Takashi had given up on the coconut tree he was determined to climb,and had gathered some leaves for a fire. "Got us some bacon." I said, walking over to a tide-pool to clean myself and the pig for eating. "How the hell?" He paled, gaping at my prize. "I honestly don't know." I said, laying the meat out on a spare towel I had found. "All I know, is that he has enough meat to last us awhile. Thank god I learned how to clean a pig back in America." I referred, again, to my life back in the U.S.A. "Hey. Have you seen Hirano?" I asked. "Yea. He's cleaning the catch of the day. Sushi, Squid, and Scallops." Laughing, I whistled for the girls to come over, displaying the food for tonight.

Later, after sunset.

"Who's hungry?" I asked, holding a piece of cooked pig up. Passing out the cooked pieces of meat, I dug in, laughing as Hirano told the story of how he almost got his but bit by a curious shark. Takagi watched Hirano with interest,leaning in slightly as he recalled how the shark thought he was a seal. I sat next to Saeko, who leaned on me as we ate. Alice, having ate a bunch of seafood, had gone off to bed inside the mini house. "Well," I said, brushing off the meat flecks from my shirt. "I could get used to this." Everyone agreed, and I noticed Katya rubbing her eyes. "You good, Katnap?" I asked, feeling light headed myself. "Yea... just really strange." Ms.Shizuka shot up, eyes red. "Hydrangeas! Don't breath in the smoke, it can cause..." she faltered off, suddenly drowsy. "Shit." I muttered and raced to the water. Ripping my shirt into pieces, I soaked them up,then ran back, my improvised mask over my face. I shouldn't have bothered, because when I returned, the camp was in chaos. Takagi was dragging Hirano away, a mischievous glint in her eye. Katya was leaning in close to Takashi, murmuring in his ear. As for Shizuka and Rei, they were nowhere to be found. I searched for Saeko, and nearly jumped out of my skin when I felt her hand clasp my shoulder. "We need to get out of here." She said, eyeing me. Nodding, I passed her a rag, and pulled her inland. After weaving in and out of trees, we came to a cliff face, and leaned against it, panting. "We can check on them in a while. The fire should be dead by then." I turned my head, just to be kissed roughly by Saeko. I felt my head go off like a firework, and then, I felt her pull away. "I don't mean to be so straightforward, but... I've always been in love with in you." She blushed, the moonlight bringing her eyes to a sparkle. Wrapping her up, I kissed her, slowly dragging myself and Saeko to the ground.
