Zombie Idol (Idolish7) discontinued

chapter three

About thirty minutes has passed and we're still stuck here and best of all it looks like more Zombies appear just great that's exactly what I needed. Time to act if I can actually get them to try and travel by rooftop then we can get away. If not then I'm going down there, only one problem going rage mode would expose the truth and they might not trust me anymore but on the bright side I can scare them. It's just a little fun for me since they got us stuck up here.

I got up and walked closer to the ladder, turning around. I saw that the next building wasn't too far away if I really tried to get there. Then I could start my plan. I backed up close to the edge taking one last look to make sure they weren't paying attention. Iori and Tamaki were talking and Nagi had his head against the ground, his eyes closed clearly tired after what had just happened.

I took a deep breath, "I'm sorry about this." I whispered. I think Iori heard me because he immediately turned around the moment I began to run.

"Nanase-san what are yo-? His eyes widened once seeing what I was about to do. He reacted instantly getting up and running to stop me, but he was too late. I had already reached the edge and now was jumping or rather flying to the next building. I nearly missed it but I luckily grabbed onto the edge and pulled myself up.

Iori stood across from me, his arm still reached out from when he attempted to stop me. "What are you doing-?" I cut him off before he could finish. "Can you please just say Riku like everyone else? it's a little hard keeping up with more than one name right now." I offered a small smile. "And I'm saving you guys. I'll distract them and you guys run. I'll be back this time even if I don't remember, I always keep promises as long as I can and this is one I definitely can."

"Wait Na-Riku come back, we can talk this over right. There's no need for you to do this. Right?" he asked, his hand started to shake, but I'm not sure if it was fear, anger, or a mix of the two.

"Sorry Iori but I'll have to see you guys later, don't worry though I won't go down that easy." I smirked heading over to look for a way down. There's not so I have to climb or jump to the next building. I'll choose climbing over jumping any day though less work and more fun especially surprising anyone that I was trying to sneak up on.

A couple of minutes later, while trying to ignore Iori telling me to 'stop' and 'come back', I found a way down. It wasn't the safest and there would probably be way more zombies now but I found a window that looked weather than the others. I smashed it and swung down landing inside on top of the shards of broken glass. Some breaking through my shoes creating a small annoying pain that I would have to deal with later.

The noise I made would definitely be a problem, soon very soon which in the long run would be better. I stepped carefully through the room I had entered making sure not to make too much noise. The door leading to the next room was closed leading me to wonder if something happened, but I could be wrong and it was just left closed while someone tried to run. I pushed the door open, it sprung open going all the way back then flying forward again.

A sound of glass hitting the floor echoes through the room. Must have been a vase or frame something like that. I walked through, avoiding some of the blood spattered across the floor, and hedging straight for the door. It was stuck so I had to kick the door a few times until it finally opened. It's nothing new to me now, I've learned that a lot of people have done that before. Locking the door, barricading themselves inside a room with no clear way out. People surprise me a lot when they do something like that.

I made my way outside the apartment and found the stairs. I had to run though mainly because I wasn't really sure if they would stay or not. While running I may have broken a door when I had to run past it. It's not my fault that it was left open so I don't care.

Finally I made it outside, I looked over at the next building towards the top. Iori was standing up his head just barely visible as he peeked over the side to where I was. I waved and I'm pretty sure he looked away, now he's mad at me but whenever I head back he'll forget about it and be worried. That's what he does whenever anyone goes out for supplies. He worries and complains saying that they'll do something stuipid, then when they get back he's checking on them making sure that they're ok.

Time to start my plan. I looked over to the building again making sure that at least one of them could hear me. "When I get their attention, run!" I yelled. Nagi's head shot up and I think he gave a thumbs up. It's hard to tell. That definitely got their attention though. I noticed the large group of zombies that had left the bottom of the ladder. Now most of them saw me time to run or I could go rage mode.

Maybe both just so I don't have to explain anything yet. "Come on zombies!" I yelled trying to draw more of their attention. "Over here just follow me!" I took off running fast down the street. Just when I started to slow down rage mode took over forcefully. It hasn't done this in a long time so this is definitely bad. Like every other time my vision goes dark red but this time it went a way to dark almost until I couldn't see.

Hearing the sound of growling slowly fade one by one. I try to fight back and regain control if I don't then they might see me. That is if they didn't run. My head was hurting as my vision kept switching between normal than going back to red over and over again. I couldn't handle it. I faced the sky and let out a yell. Mixed between the loud growl zombies make and a normal yell any human would make. I yelled and yelled shutting my eyes in hope that it would work. It was starting to until I heard someone.

"Riku? Is that you? Oh there you are whats.." Nagi asked before going quiet once he saw me. I'm not sure if I look different but another strange thing happened. Instead of a pink glow like all humans had he had a yellow glow bright yellow almost blinding. I felt the rage mode's power shrinking after seeing the yellow glow and I could take over. Nagi was still standing there and started to run over when I stumbled almost falling to the ground. "What was that? I know you might not want to talk about that but I need to know before we head back."

"F-fine I'll explain w-what I can just... Where did Iori and Tamaki go?"

"I told them to head back while I went to find you. It's safer to be in pairs anyway. Now can you talk now or should we wait until we get back?"

"Now's fine." I replied sitting down and motoning for him to do the same. I went on to explain what I remembered. Like getting bit and waiting until I turned. I tried my best to not make it sound too confusing but some parts took a little longer than others. He just sat there nodding and asking a few small questions everyone once in a while. I think after thirty minutes I had completely told him about it all, even my theory about the bite making me lose my memories.

I finished talking and he went quiet so I waited until he was finished thinking. He didn't respond in the way I expected, he looked at me and smiled. "Well at least this kept you alive through all of this."

"What? Why do you say that? Like I said before I have no memory of who you were to me. So why wouldn't I still be alive?" time to ask a few questions, maybe something will make me remember.

"Well the main reason that made us worried about that was the fact that you had asthma and it was bad a lot of the time after concerts." he explained. "Anyway I won't tell as long as it doesn't get anyone in danger if you want this to still be a secret. So let's head back now." I nodded, getting back to my feet. He did the same and started walking.

We walked in silence, heading back to the apartment. Outside it looks like Iori and Tamaki just got back. Did they try looking for us? I shook my head and ran forward grabbing Nagi's arm and pulling him along, me laughing and him letting out a small yell out of surprise before running as fast as I was.

"Hey Iori there you are!" I yelled, scaring the two. Tamaki waved at us but Iori refused to look at me.

"Riku we need to talk." he sounded angry as he spoke.

"I guess we do."
