The Fight Against Them (Highschool of the Dead x OC)

Reunion

Saya's P.O.V

I'm worried about Kurosuki.

I think everyone else is, as well.

We managed to ditch Mr Shido thanks to him, which is good, though Komuro is still beating himself up over it.

When we stopped at an intersection, Komuro lost it.

"Why didn't we save them?" He demanded, "Why did we just drive off?"

"They were bad news, Takashi, we can't rely on them." Busujima Senpai said.

"They were still human beings! We could've saved them!" 

"And they would've dragged us down." I muttered, "Having more people on board means more mouths to feed, and if they can't do anything useful, then there's no point in letting them join us."

Komuro gritted his teeth, punched a wall, and stepped off the bus.

Rei chased after him, "Komuro, wait!"

Suddenly, a public bus sped around the corner, it flipped and crashed into the tunnel, taking Komuro and Rei along with it.

I immediately got off the bus and ran to the flaming bus.

"Are you two okay?!" I yelled.

"We're fine! Don't worry about us! Keep going to the bridge, Saya! We'll meet you there!" Komuro's voice rang out.

"A-alright! You'd better be there! If you die, I'll kill you!" I yelled.

"Heh, you can't kill me me when I'm already dead."

"Shut up!"

I got back on our bus as a lot of them wandered out of the burning bus.

We left just as the bus exploded.

I hope Komuro and Rei got out safely.

"Hey... Takagi-san...?" Hirano asked next to me.

"What is it, Hirano?"

"Do you think... Cross will be okay?"

That question caught me off guard.

I brought me knees up to me chest.

"I don't know. I'm worried about him." I muttered.

"We all are." Busujima Senpai said, "Me especially."

"Are you not worried about your parents more?" Hirano asked, I nodded in agreement.

"My dad is overseas at a dojo, my mom has passed, so... At the moment, I only need to worry about my little brother and Takashi." She smiled to herself.

"Why Komuro?" I asked, just out of interest. I noticed she made no mention of Rei.

"Let's just say that without him, there's no point in me being alive anymore."

That caught a lot of people off guard.

We were silent for a long while.

After the night, early the next morning, before dawn, we stopped at the bridge, but everyone is there, and literally no-one is getting across to the other side.

We decided to abandon the bus and go on foot.

Sadly, we just seemed to encounter more of them.

Hirano ran out of nails, and we couldn't keep up with them all.

We thought it was the end. Until...

*Meanwhile*
