Back up Notes~????

Takashi's POV...

His pale skin was like the living dead's but he can emit words very calmly unlike any other human I've ever met. I couldn't be even more happy that a survivor idea'd to climb up here although this questions me. How the hell did he climb up to the third floor, to which where we currently are. Aside from the trees growing around, there isn't any kind of equipment let alone any kid like him to be able to climb and not just that but with stealth. We couldn't hear any noise or movement moving around and just like a ghost, to whom in our surprised state, had got himself here.

"Just how in the.." Hirano tried to progressed

"..How did you climb up here?" I immediately took action and asked him, but instead of words, he was silent. Looking right back at me with a stray expression like his mind was somewhere else. I was getting impatient from this.

"Oi-"

"..Is there a book I can borrow..? Anything is fine, as long as I can read something.." he blankly approached.

Me and Hirano looked at each other almost looking for an answer. Till Hirano slid out a small book from his breast pocket. It was a small military-looking pocket book.

"Um.." Hirano scratch his nape, "I have a book about guns, will this do..?"

"..That's fine.." he calmly spoke, walking towards to Hirano and silently took the small book from his hand. Taking a moments of silence as he sat on a nearby chair, like nothing was against him.

"Jeez man.." Hirano whispered under his breath, "At least say thank you.."

We expected him to answer but only to see him continuously reading and flipping a page after page. I grit my teeth. Seeing how disrespectful his showing towards us and that dead looking eyes really annoys me.

"Why this little.." a palm outstretched behind me before I could start a fight.

"Now now kuroma, this guy might have been terrified of what's going on here.." Hirano gestured

"I know but.." I looked towards the white then to him, pointing an accusing finger, "just how in the hell can he just come by pass here? Can't you even wonder how he just showed up? Mind you, how he climbed up here?"

"But he did say sorry for intruding, didn't he?"

"That's true.." but I wasn't much convinced. Hirano sighed.

"Look, I don't know how he got those chains on him left alone physically broken but we should give him some space.." Hirano tapped on my shoulder, assuring me in a way, "he must be tired than us you know?" He looked at the said person, "I think he climbed up here because of desperation.."

"Your right..." I admitted, "sorry.."

"But man, he sure has a deep focus on that book.."

Flipping pages after pages, he summarized the contents. Listing a few gun names as if studying it in an unnatural speed. Seeing him reading like this, it kinda reminds me of my days at school. Where everything was in peace. Its was safe, youthful and nerve wracking sometimes yet thats what a school is. How I miss it so much now.

But that turns how our gore horrors started. How our age of survival begins.

However "Hey answer us.."

"...."

"Hey.." is he deaf or something? Or is he deciding to just ignore me? Whatever it is Im getting irritated. He looked away, as if something caught his attention.

"Oi at least-"

"Shouldn't you be more worried about them?" Pointing the direction down the neighborhood. A shriek of painful cries, echoed on que as I hurriedly looked down on the binoculars. Trying to jeer out random places where he was pointing at.

"What the.."

I spotted a victimized girl, being surrounded by the dead. Wailing a blood curling cry, hand raised up, but slowly dying. I bit my lower lip and move on the search.

He said 'them' so he was preferring two or more people. However this questions me.

"How in the hell, can you see that from afar?" I turn, only to find him reading the book.

"...."

This guy still had the guts to read in this kinds of situations?

Ignoring him, I began to focus on my binoculars. Among my immediate search, I spotted two figures. One was a man holding a little girl. I was looking the scenes, eager to know if they'll survive but my hopes was crushed as the entrance door opened. The father was stabbed and the cowering people inside begged for forgiveness and hurriedly locked the door.

The desperate cries was heard of the poor little girl's father. Who died in the greed of man's fate. She wailed her cries pointing out a target as the undead began circling towards them.

I froze. All I could do was watch but I soon took over my balance. I quickly let down the binoculars after revealing the fated scene that's about to commence. I shook the thought of fear and uttered a swear.

"Shit..."

A mechanism switch was heard on que, Hirano wails out, "Let's rock n' roll!"

Bang. I immediately turned towards him as he shot another then another. The repetitive sound must've reached the others inside their rooms. I just hope that the girls are finding their sleep at ease.

"I've never used this gun before and I just scored a headshot with it. I'm a genius! Though to be fair, they're not even 100 meters away.."

"Hirano.."

"Yeah?"

"What happened to not shooting?" I don't know what got to Hirano's head but I couldn't deny that I enjoy his bold acts,
"And abandoning people in order to save yourself?" That came like a question for him.

"DUDE, ITS A LITTLE GIRL!" he briskly wailed, then turn himself around, our eyes matching up the same goal. "You're going to rescue her, right? I'll back you up from here!"

"The companies are coming they're way.."
Barking noises, accompanied as he spoke. Eyes so dim and lifeless. I couldn't help but wonder why he spoke so monotoned and emotionless however, saving the girl comes first.

Preparing the motorbike, with everyones help, I rushed on. Racing out to rescue the girl outside the hell of those crowded zombies.

Takagi's POV...

I slam the door, wide open. Enough to awoke the sleeping figure on the bed. I rushed towards the bed, calling to her, "Sensei! Wake up! Come on Shizuka-sensei!"

"Its breakfast time already?" She curled up her fragile naked body and opens up a cute yawn in between.

How the hell can she feel so at ease in this kind of situation were all in? She surely is an airhead.

..Im getting annoyed at this..

"Quit being childish!" I began pulling her cheeks, giving a sense of my own mind and for her sake to wake up.

"S-Stop it!" She wailed

So much for keeping my half a secret. But it seems like my humanity is still within me. My weakness is still within me.
