“Uh yeah. I’d like to stop by the bank. Anyone know where one is?”

“Bank, why?” Takashi asked.

I had decided to come clean a little. “I have a-“ I stopped talking. My throat locking up as I tried to say the words. I was going to say System Store. But for some reason I couldn’t. I hadn’t tried to tell anyone about my quests yet. And it seemed I wouldn’t be able to if I wanted to.

“Nevermind,” I said. “Just uh thought maybe they would be protected. Wanted to look for survivors. Guess we should just keep our eyes out for people.”

Takashi nodded. We wrapped up the meeting and began a mad scramble. Gathering everything we could we piled into the Humvee. Filling it with supplies and guns it became packed quickly. Takashi found an abandoned motorcycle down the way. He and Rei rode ahead on it while the rest of us were in the Humvee.

Only a few zombies in the area we mostly dodged them. We drove only about 10 to 20 miles per hour. Dodging burning cars and bodies. It was kind of relaxing. I sat in the middle, flanked by Saeko and Saya. Shizuoka drove while Emi sat beside her. The nurse was slowly getting the girl to open up. Khota sat on the roof. Gun in hand as he looked down the scope searching for danger. Alice and the dog played happily in the back.

It was peaceful. A little too peaceful. I didn’t notice when I fell asleep until I felt some water touch my leg. Jolting up, I noticed water straight ahead too. We were driving through it.

“We found a low spot in the river,” Shizuoka said as she looked at me from the rear view mirror. She had a very wide smile on. I noticed why as my hands were on Saeko and Saya.

The girls were asleep in my lap. Both drooling on my legs I decided to leave them there. My hand running through Saeko’s hair we were soon jostled as the Humvee began climbing up the bank of the other side.

The movement caused the girls in my lap to awaken. Both sitting up with a groan I pretended not to notice the blush on their cheeks as they looked out opposite windows. Saya wasn’t sure what to do with me. Too afraid to treat me like her punching bag Kohta, she usually only talked back when she was far away. I was surprised she felt comfortable enough to fall asleep on me.

“Good nap?” Shizuoka asked, she had a mischievous grin that said she liked to stir the pot.

“A-are we there yet?” Saya asked.

“Yeah. We are closer to your folks place, Saya,” Kohta yelled down from the roof. I looked in the back to see Alice and the dog had passed out. The girls had decided to name the mutt, Zeke.

“We don’t have to go there first,” Saya said quickly.

“We should. Doesn’t your family own a big house?” Shizuoka asked.

“Yeah, but they’ll be fine. Maybe we should hit Rei’s house.”

“No, we agreed,” Shizuoka said. “Besides, it would be good to replenish supplies.”

Saya grumbled under her breath. “Family problems?” I asked.

“What’s it to you?” She said with a sneer.

“A question,” I said. “No reason to get snippy.”

She grumbled more. Starting to bite her nails as we moved through the street. Shizuoka sped up since the roads were mostly clear. Takashi’s bike unfortunately got water in it so we had to dump it. He and Rei were sitting on the roof with Khota as we moved through the streets.

Suddenly we were waylaid by a group of people. Waving weapons at the Humvee they were trying to steal it or beg for a ride. Shizuoka sped up.

“Get us out of here!” Takashi yelled.

“Where? It’s blocked,” she yelled.

“There, the alley!” He ordered. I popped open the window by Saya and climbed up to the roof as she sped up. Pulling my Jitte out I stood on the roof while she took a sharp turn. Channeling chakra into my feet I stayed upright and held the collar of Rei and Kohta so they didn’t fall.

We got to the alley, only it was filled with the undead. “Speed up!” Takashi ordered.

The engine roared and we sped quickly plowing over the horde of them. Jostled up and down as bodies were crunched underneath the thick tires, Shizuoka turned down the road to see an even bigger group of them.

Jumping the curb to the sidewalk where they were less dense we moved forward. But too late we noticed the wires blocking the street. Large 1 inch thick cables spider webbed just ahead. Shizu noticed and slammed the brakes. We turned to the side as I held all 3 of those on the roof in place.

Rei actually lifted off. Her shirt nearly ripping as I kept her from hitting the concrete. When the Humvee stopped we had just barely missed hitting the thick wire.

“What is this!” Takashi yelled. I rolled my eyes. The zombies were heading toward us already. Why did people need to ask stupid questions? Why couldn’t they simply accept things for what they were and move on?

“Get to the other side,” I ordered them as I jumped off the roof of the Humvee. Channeling chakra my Jitte was coated in water.

“Weston, what are you doing?!” Saya yelled from the Humvee.

“Killing those in our way,” I said. And I began bashing their heads in. By the 4th zombie I had my stance and grip corrected to how Saeko had taught me.

Shifting the chakra from blunt to sharp slowly but surely, I was getting better with the weapon in every fight. Zombies rushed me. But I took them on. My best hit came when 3 were lined up perfectly. I put more strength into it and busted all 3 of their heads with 1 swing.

I was moving more smoothly. Bringing chakra into my body to speed me up as my familiarity with the Jitte grew. In the zone, it was a great feeling to not have to think about anything but bashing in heads.

Zombies tried to get around me. I threw the 2 knifes I had, would retrieve them only for them to go into another 2 heads.

I wasn’t sure how long I fought. But when it was down there were zombie bodies everywhere around the street. Letting out a deep breath I dropped the chakra and sighed as my Jitte disappeared.

Turning around I found the group on the other side of the steel cable web. Beside them were 2 people in fireman clothes. Canisters of either napalm or high pressure water inside tanks mounted to their backs. I nodded to them as I walked up.

“Where’d you learn to fight like that?” One of the new people asked. She took her helmet off to reveal a beautiful red haired woman.

“From Saeko,” I said. Pointing at the tall girl. She blushed as everyone looked at her.

“Mighty fine killing,” she said. “Tell me, would you be interested in marrying my daughter?”

“Who?” I asked, my head turning in confusion.

“‘Mom!” Saya groaned. A blush on her face. Then I slowly remembered. Saya’s parents were the ones with the safe haven I was thinking of the day before.

“What? He looks like he can protect himself,” her mom said. “We can discuss that later. Let’s get you all to our place. I’ll ride in the Humvee to direct you to the path to get to our place. Some of you can walk. But you come with,” she said pointing at me. “I’d feel safer with you at my side.”
