Highschool Of The Dead: Katya Edition

Katya Rivera: Proving A Point

Ten

I was currently cursing myself to a fiery death in my head while I walked toward the room in which Rei and Takashi were still asleep.

Why? Because I'm a fucking idiot.

Let me explain:

You see, this morning I woke up to the unpleasant news that there was most likely a countrywide electronic wipe out because of an EMP blast from missiles that detonated above us. And that right there was a problem. With communications down, we had no way of contacting the outside world if we needed to. And we probably would need to before the end of this whole thing.

Add to that the fact that our Humvee was now useless and we had no transportation and the day just continued to go downhill.

The Don had security doubled along the perimeters of our little stronghold and Quinton told us to keep a sharp eye out.

I was tense and on edge about the whole situation. Yet, despite the possible danger my mind kept straying to the fact that Rei had spent the night in Takashi's room and they'd had yet to emerge from it for the day. Thoughts of what they could be doing together or what they had done already kept plaguing me, making me restless and agitated.

So I was talking to Quin and he told me it would be best to get our gear together and prepare for anything. I agreed and then decided to make the most ridiculous suggestion I ever have. I asked him if I should go tell Takashi and Rei. Me. The words came out of my mouth. Willingly.

So now you see why I'm condemning myself to death by fire.

Quin's response didn't help either, it just made me just a little more agitated and I refused to think of why that was. He called them 'lovebirds'. Ugh.

So now I was stood in front of Takashi's door with a red face and shaking hands.

I glared hard at the door for a moment before raising my hand to knock. Except the door opened before I could do so and I was suddenly staring at a bare chest.

I froze and my eyes of their own accord flickered to a very toned stomach that ended in a V which disappeared into a pair of trunks. My eyes widened and immediately snapped straight up to Takashi's face which was full of surprise as he looked down at me.

"Kat..." He mumbled.

"Quin s-said to g-get your ass u-up!" I said in an overly loud voice, inwardly swearing at my stuttering.

It was all because of stupid Takashi and his indecency! Baka! He should know better than to come outside dressed like that. People like me freaked out over stuff like that! Now I know how Quin must have felt seeing Saeko in that apron.

I stiffened at my thoughts. Why was I comparing Takashi and me to Quin and Saeko? Our relationships were completely different.

"Takashi?"

At that sleepy voice I looked over Takashi's shoulder and saw Rei sitting up in his bed, holding his sheet up to her seemingly bare chest.

My mouth dropped open and I turned back to Takashi and glared hotly at him, completely furious for a reason I didn't want to face, a reason I now had to.

I was jealous. I was fricking jealous. There was no way I could give a better explanation for the burning anger in the pit of my stomach or my chest which felt so tight it was almost suffocating.

Takashi saw my glare and looked back at Rei before his eyes snapped back to mine and his face turned red.

"I-it's not what it looks like! We didn't do anything!" He exclaimed hastily, "I swear!"
