Divulge

Chapter 19: Cross the dead end.

The sounds of rain, screaming, running and chaos outside rang into Eiji's ears as soon as he regained consciousness. He grunted to himself and looked to a side and immediately spotted a blood-stained machete. He got startled.

"Awake, are we?" said a voice from the other side and Eiji quickly moved his gaze and saw a familiar face. A cheerful face with short brown hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a school uniform and was bloodstained and also wet from the rain. His face was familiar but Eiji, couldn't point out exactly where he's seen him before.

"Who're you?" he asked.

"You mean to say that, you don't know me?" he asked with a startled expression on his face.

"Not everyone knows who we are." Said another voice from behind the guy.
This face he recognized as the current big star of Japan, Endou Iwakura: An actor. 17 years old. He had brown hair and hazel eyes with a deep gaze. He was tall and his skin was smooth and pale. Clearly, he was a celebrity. Anyone could figure it out just by looking at the guy and apparently the other guy was also an actor. Eiji finally recognized him too. His name was Gin Toriyama. He had blue, small eyes and straight, black hair with a wide smile.

"Endou Iwakura?" Eiji grunted.

"Huh? How come he knows you and doesn't know me?" Gin asked, sarcastically irritated.

"You're Gin Toriyama, right?"
"Oh! So you do know me?" Gin grinned at him.

"Yeah! Who doesn't—AH!" Eiji grunted again, in pain as he tried to get up.

"Woah! Calm down there champ! You aren't in a condition to move around just yet." Gin said, as he held Eiji down gently.

"Where are we?"

"I have no idea either. Someone's home. Luckily for us, the owners are nowhere to be found." Endou explained.

"Yeah! Clearly." Eiji said, looking around. "Look, guys, I can't stay here. I gotta go find my fiancé and my friends." He said, getting up in a struggling hurry.

"Ah! How do you know that they're not dead yet?" Endou asked, coolly.

Eiji stared right at him. "They're not!"

"Right! You look quite strong yourself; inn that suit of yours. I am guessing you're an agent? A bodyguard? Yet, you, yourself are in a condition like this, what makes you think they'll survive?" Endow asked, glaring right back at him.

Eiji took a limp forward without breaking his eye contact. "They're strong and unlike me, they're not alone."

Endou and Eiji kept glaring at each other silently until, finally, Gin broke the silence. "Alright now, even if they are alive; WE won't get much further with all those things walking around out there. Plus you're injured."

"I'll die trying then." Eiji said, pulling out his handgun.

"Alright then, your funeral." Endou said, picking up the machete on the floor.

"More like our funeral." Gin added, taking out a hammer.

"You don't have to help me. I'll be fine." Eiji said.

"Like how you were fine when we found you?" asked Endou.

"Yeah not a chance bud'. We didn't save your ass just to see you get eaten a few minutes later."

"Alright then. If you say so." Eiji said, pulling open the door slowly and stepping out, looking around and as soon as the door opened, dozens of Tangoes rushed straight at them.
