Running Towards Fate (High School of the Dead FanFiction)

ACT SIX: Greetings from the DEAD, farewell from the living (Part 1)

(A/N: This is a chapter I worked hard on for you guys since I just reached 1K views! (And barely any comments, which does make me a bit sad :'( ))

Bea stumbled out of the bathroom, dazed and in shock. She closed the bathroom door behind her, blocking out the crazed giggles of the other girls. She sighed and crawled over to where her underwear was. Her body was almost drained completely of energy and she struggled to pull on her black sports bra and matching underwear. Once she managed to get on her underwear, she went in search of clothes.

"Geez, this has been more draining than any other kind of training I've ever done," she mumbled as she continued her searching on her hands and knees.

After some searching, she had managed to find a few pairs of black thigh-high socks, combat boots, a really short skort that was black and split down the side, a blood red shirt which had a hood and draw strings and a black mini vest with pockets. Once she was dressed, she found a bag and folded a long pair of army style pants, two dress shirts, two singlets, a jacket and a long sleeved shirt into the bag. she then found a dog collar and, after putting it on to amuse herself, found out it was for humans. She decided to wear it and went upstairs to see what the boys were up to. When she entered the room, she found Takashi pointing a gun at Kohta.

"...if I happen to get bitten, don't be afraid to blast my head off," Bea shivered as she saw the creepy grin on the nerd's face.

"Yeah, same here," Takashi smiled at his friend and they both made a deal.

"Can I be included?" Bea asked and the boys turned to her.

"Sure," they answered, taking in her appearance.

Bea smiled at them and then turned to the large bed in the room. She was about to flop on it when she noticed several daggers and two handguns sitting on the bed.

"Hey," she said, her eyes gleaming. "Can I have some of these?"

"Sure," Kohta replied and Bea squealed loudly.

~~~~~~

Some time later, Bea was helping Takashi and Kohta load bullets into the magazines of the guns they had found. Bea had successfully made herself look badass. She had two guns at her hips, the belts artfully overlapping and rested on an angle, she had also overlapped two daggers by tightening the straps so that it fit perfectly under her chest and the sheath, along with the daggers themselves, were resting under her armpits. It was only just hidden by the mini vest and sometimes they could been seen when she moved if the vest was zipped up but otherwise it looked like she had added on two leather straps for style. She had also hidden two of the blades in her combat boots.

Once they were done loading the ammo, Takashi moved over to the balcony and Bea laid back on the bed. The girls, who were still in the bathroom, began to giggle once more uncontrollably.

"Shouldn't they be more quiet?" Kohta asked.

"No, because its not us they're focused on." Takeshi, who was now joined by Bea, looked out at the bridge where everyone who wasn't them was.

Bea went back inside as Kohta walked out. She headed downstairs to find herself something to eat. Soon after, she was munching down on some chips when Seako, who had finally gotten out of the bathroom, started to cook everyone a late night snack. Takeshi had laid down Miss Shizuka on the floor and covered her up then he was at the fridge.

"Late night snack's almost ready," said Seako from the stove. "And tomorrow's lunch."

"Man, I love girl's apartments," stated Takashi and he closed the frigde, juice box in hand as he turned to Seako. "Everything's so sto-STOCKED!! I MEAN STOCKED!!"

Seako turned to look at Takeshi and so did Bea, considering he was suddenly very loud, he had the attention of both females in the kitchen.

"What's wrong?" Seako asked and Takashi began to back away slowly.

"Uh..." he moved further away. "What? Nothing!"

Seako seemed to catch on to what was wrong with Takeshi as his face reddened slightly and he stared at her. Bea wasn't surprized considering that she was wearing an apron and G-string.

"Oh?" Seako hooked her fingers in the apron and pulled the fabric. "Yeah, terrible, isn't it? I couldn't find a size that fit me so until I do the laundry, I'm wearing this. I guess it's a bit too revealing, huh?"

Takashi held his hand in front of his nose and Bea stiffened a giggle.

"Uh- no! It's okay! I hadn't noticed the titty- a thing!" More stiffened laughter from Bea as Takashi pulled down his shirt. "We should go and pre-pare for if they a tit - attack!"

Bea reached inside her packet of chips and froze. Her good mood and giggling was gone. The world around her faded away to a black nothingness. Her hand....it looked like someone had bitten her hand. Thoughts raced about her head and Bea's breathing became uneven. She didn't know when it happened and it scared her. She thought about how once they had left the bus and regrouped with Takashi and Rei, (who had been trapped on the other side of a burning bus of the undead), they had to travel on foot and Bea got into a fight with one of them when she wondered off. Could it have been then...?

Bea was suddenly snapped out of her daze by Seako shaking her shoulders.

"Bea, someone texted you." She said and Bea thanked her.

She looked down at her hand and saw that the bite mark was gone. Could she have dreamt it? Bea shook her head and went over to the power point where her phone was charging. She had her phone in one of her pockets and, while searching the place they were staying at, she had found a charger which had fit her phone and decided to it. She unplugged her phone and opened the text. It was from a unknown number but Bea knew who it was when she saw the text.

Bea! OMG! R U K? Where are U?

Bea grabbed her javelin and quietly headed outside to see where she was. Once she was outside and had texted the address to her sister, a dog started barking. Bea stayed as still as she could, hardly daring to breathe, as they surrounded the house.
