My first try at writing, feel free to drop your suggestions and constructive criticism ^_^

I wake up a little too early for today. The sky was still dark and I can see the stars shining happily outside my window. It seems that I can't sleep anymore but I'm still lazy to get up, besides, it really is too early to prepare for school. I closed my eyes hoping to fall asleep again and started thinking about my new friends here at Yamaku. My thoughts wander from how I will maximize my time to accommodate all of them to feeling my heart as to whom among the girls I feel more romantically inclined.

Before it goes on further I noticed my morning wood. I forgot to ask the nurse if it is alright for me to 'exercise' once in a while, afterall I'm still at a stage of life where hormones run wild at the mere thought of a beautiful girl or girls at my case. Well, they may have their disabilities and deformities but they are beautiful in their own way.

Realizing that it is better to ask first than to risk the shame of having the world record for dying just by masturbating and probably have people laughing instead of weeping at my funeral, I decided to take advantage of the coldness of the early dawn to shower this desire off.

As I was about to get up, I heard loud banging noises on my door. I only know one person so socially inept as to make that noise in these early hours. My thoughts are proven right as I recognize the voice that shouts my name.

“Hisao, wake up!” Kenji yells.

“Hey, what do you think you’re doing? I’m sure you know that we all have different circadian rhythms, right?” I said to him with an irritated voice.

“Dude. Shit. Just. Got. Real.” He says full of suspense.

“What got real?”

“You are not going to believe this. I saw it with my own two eyes…” Kenji says as he pushes his thick glasses up.

I find it hard to keep a straight face when I heard him say that. He interrupted my thinking with his correction.

“Well, not my own eyes really but with my telescope. I was checking the area around the gates, when I saw this woman in some kind of an officer uniform plunge her teeth in the neck of Professor Mutou. He was totally caught off guard, I can see it in his face. Then she dragged him to the bushy part of the wall. That is where I lost sight of him. It was like a feminist vampire or zombie. And then I remembered the anime with hot and cute girls and two guys escaping their school before the whole town gets overrun by zombies, and then I realized that I am like the main guy, except that I don’t have and I WON’T have a feminist calling me stupid.” Kenji says with a tone half excited and half nervous.

“Don’t be silly, vampires or zombies don’t exist.” I brushed his story off easily. I guess speaking with him for a few times was enough to make my brain automatically tag what he says as nonsense.

“Dude, I saw what I saw. If you don’t believe me, follow me to check this shit for yourself. Wait for me here while I prepare my gears.” He says as he quickly run through his room.

I used this opportunity to do my daily morning rituals. Talking to him this early distracted me enough from the secondary reason I’m taking the shower.

As soon as I finished putting my uniform on, I heard him knocking again on the door.

“Dude, what is taking you so long? The world is going down while you are there jacking off!” he says impatiently.

I opened the door and I was surprised by his outfit. He is wearing a football helmet, skater’s knee and elbow guards, a motocross chest protector and a bag matching his military camo suit.

“Dude, what the fu-,“ I blurted out.

“Hey, I’m the one that’s supposed to say that! We are going to hunt down monsters and you are going with me with what? Your notes to smash their heads and pens to impale their heart? Dude you suck!” Kenji says angrily.

“I’m sorry I’m not as prepared as you so can we please start moving now?” I said sarcastically as I would like this charade to end quickly. It is a good thing that no one is around to see that I’m walking with Kenji. I don’t want them to think we share the same disability.

It didn’t take long for us to reach the area that Kenji supposedly saw Mutou being victimized by the feminist monster.

Kenji flashes his lights to the bushes as we approach it. The leaves rattle as we get near.

“Hey, I know you’re there! Show yourself!” Kenji shouts dramatically.

As I look around, I noticed a foot lying below the bush and I nervously point it out to Kenji.

I can see him freeze in fear as he finally realizes what he’s looking at.

The bush started moving again, this time we saw Mutou. His face is gray pale and his clothes and hair are disheveled. He just stood there looking at us for a long time. My heart is racing, this is bad. This is not a good time to have a heart attack. There was never a good time for a heart attack. I am shouting at myself to think! Think Hisao, think! My legs, I can’t move my legs. It’s as if my feet were stuck knee-deep in mud. Just as Mutou raised his arm towards us, that’s when I can’t stop myself from yelling.

“RUUNNNN!!!” I screamed as I dashed towards the dorm. Kenji quickly recovers from his fear and suddenly overtakes me.

As soon as we feel safe, we took a short break to catch our breath.

Still gasping for air, Kenji turns to me.

“I told you dude. I fucking told you. You lost your faith in me. You lost your goddamn faith in me.” He said to me dramatically.

Kenji continues, “We need weapons,”

“We need to get them out of here,” I said to him.

“What?” he asked looking surprised at my suggestion.

“The students dummy! They need to know the emergency we’re facing!” I said to him seriously.

“Woah! Wait! You’re telling me, that you are going to let everyone know that? Are you out of your mind? Did you ever for a second think that it will cause a wide spread panic in the school? And this is not an ordinary school Einstein, this is Yamaku, there are people here with special cases like panic attacks and heart problems and in case you forgot, you are one of them!” Kenji says with conviction.

I never felt defeated like this. Kenji was right. I wanted to point out to him that he was also one of those with panic attacks but it seemed futile. Wait a minute, speaking of panic attacks…

“Wait here Kenji, I’ll go get Hanako and Lilly.” I said to him as I hurriedly walk towards the female dorms.

It’s a good thing that the patrols are already gone when I got to the dorm. I suddenly realized how awkward my reason would sound like if ever I have to explain myself.

As I was going to their rooms, I found them along the hallway probably heading for class.

Now, how am I going to explain this without me looking like a schizo?

“Good morning Lilly, Hanako,” I said with my game face on.

“Oh my, Hisao, what are you doing here this early?” Lilly asked.

I better think of a good reason quickly.

“I was just about to escort the two of you to the classroom,” I instinctively said.

“I admire your chivalry Hisao, but I don’t want us to bother you this much,” she said with a weak smile.

“I-Is something wrong H-Hisao?” Hanako asked.

“None so far, shall we go then?” I said.

They both smiled at me and I take it as a cue.

“Ladies first.” I said. I seems that some of Lilly’s formality is rubbing on me or is it just because her formal tone makes me respond in the same way.

As we walk through the door, Kenji noticed me through his binoculars.

“Hey did you get some weapons?” he yelled.

“W-Weapons?” Hanako asked.

“Is there something wrong Hisao?” Lilly worriedly asked.

“I don’t have any weapons, besides, who would bring a weapon here at school?”

“GODDDAAAAMMIIITTT! What do you think you’re doing? Bringing them along without weapons? I thought you were smarter that the other guys here but you failed me man, you failed me.” He said furiously.

“Can you please explain to us what exactly is happening here Setou?” Lilly asked while Hanako hugs her arms tighter.

“There is a zombie outbreak about to happen to this school and soon the whole town. Professor Mutou is already infected and it will just be a matter of time before we'll be overrun by zombies!” Kenji exclaims.

“What?” Lilly says dumbfounded.

“We need a plan. We need to get somewhere safe. Before that we need transportation. I guess we’re going to ride a taxi. But where to? That’s it! To the nearest family first. Okay, whose family lives near here?” He totally ignored Lilly's reaction.

His look is filled with urgency that I suddenly answered, “My family lives in a city far away from here. I have no known relatives near the school that’s why I live in the dorm.”

“I-I lost my parents…” Hanako replied with such a sad look in her eyes. In times like this that I want to punch Kenji in the face for no reason at all.

“My uncle lives nearby...” Lilly said.

“Then it is settled, here’s your weapons,” Kenji interrupts as he grab some things from his bag. He handed me an empty bottle of whiskey and a telescope for Hanako.

“The fuck is this?”

“That’s your weapon and this is mine,” he said as he draws an aluminum bat from his bag. He smiles as he poses with his bat.

“I thought when you mean weapons you had guns.”

“Guns are overrated, we will just have to bash them in the head like a boss.” He said confidently.

If I am going to get killed, I would like to at least die with style. I suddenly remembered Lilly.

“What about Lilly?”

“She have a cane, with a sword in it. She’s better off than you,” he whispered to me.

“I heard that and I don’t have a sword in my cane, and aren’t we supposed to be heading for class?” Lilly said trying to divert this whole conversation back to normal standards.

“You can’t go back there. Once you’re in, it will be very hard for you to get out. Without getting bitten. Or alive.” Kenji said as he prepares himself to get to the back gate of the school.

“It’s on now, motherfuckers!” He yells as he run.

Although I would like to make sure that there really is a threat of a zombie apocalypse, a part of me thinks that it might be better to follow Kenji and not risk getting there stuck. Besides classes are only halfday today. It’s not like we’ll miss much.

“Come on,” I said to Lilly and Hanako.
They nod and we start walking fast to catch up to Kenji. Lilly will have it rough if we run and I still need to check on my heart and rest every chance I’ll get.

Just as we approach the gates, we saw Kenji standing there as if waiting for us. I was about to ask him what’s wrong when I saw two students shambling towards him.

Kenji tightens his hold of his baseball bat and he dashes to the two students and whacks them on the head like a kendo master, complete with a pose. The students dropped immediately and then Kenji resumes running.

“Run! Just run!” He yells.

As we chase him, I felt someone tugging at my shirt. It was Hanako.

“W-Why did he whacked those students?”

“They were shambling,” I said casually. I never knew those films would prove useful in real life.

“They were already zombies.”

“B-But they walk like that ever since I came to this school.”

That’s when I suddenly realized that maybe those students are not zombies at all and are just going to class. Damn, what if?

I catch up to Kenji and told him about what Hanako said.

“It’s a harsh world here man, there’s no time to check if they were infected or not,” He said pausing for breath.

“It’s either ‘them’ or me,” he continues.

“Dude, if they’re not zombies and we’re cau- no, you’re caught, you are so fucked!”

“Unlike you man, I don’t take chances.” He said easily dismissing the fact that he probably hurt or possibly killed two innocent schoolmates.

I am thinking which of the following sucks more; the oncoming zombie apocalypse or the fact that I’m stuck with Kenji while it lasts.

Then I suddenly realized what Lilly said earlier.

We are heading for someone who cannot possibly make it any worse.

Jigoro.

I think it should be "has" instead of "have".

And my opinion about this: I like it, I think. Well to word it better, I'm intrigued by this. A lot of the fan fics here is mostly about possible relationships and generally stories about the "drama" aspect. I was pretty surprised when I realized the whole "zombie apocalypse" was actually the story. Hoenstly, I didn't really know what to make of it. Bottom line, I would like to see how this plays out.

You should really register for the forums so you can edit your posts.

That said, I'm not a big fan of taking the KS characters out of the high school drama genre. There are a couple stories here that did it well, and I enjoyed them very much. So far I'm not seeing that here. Sorry, just not my thing.

Yeah, I guess I should have registered before posting that. Sorry

Thanks for the feedback guys, I really appreciate it. I'm actually having trouble trying to include the other girls in the story. Now that I think about it, wtf have I done?

If you can give me ideas on how to drag Emi and Rin into this, please let me know. Reading the works here probably gave me the inspiration to try something I dreaded to do since 5th grade.

Also, if you can point out any fault or plothole or how the story flow sucks and how to improve them, feel free to do so. Although I never want to be a full pledged writer someday, I'd really like to at least keep unsatisfied readers at minimum.

Thanks

Well since that was the first chapter why don't you write the next chafed from Emi's pov (Emi cause i assume Rin isn't easy) and have them meet up with the rest of the group.

other then the minor wording issues.. that was fucking epic man. i was laughing my ass off, in a good way lol. keep it up.

Not sure what to think about that story yet. Might be fun, might be silly.
Anyway, you should pay more attention to the tenses. They are all over the place, and interestingly you seem to get more of them wrong than if you were just guessing...

Thanks for the feedback guys, I'll try to improve on your suggestions.

Since I find that other fanfics tell their readers if their writings have some sort of sex scene included, it may be an unwritten rule here, so I would like to give you guys a heads up because the next chapter features Hisao’s first time. Reader discretion is advised.


As we ride the taxi, two familiar figures suddenly stopped our departure.

“Hicchan~!” Misha exclaims.

With that voice, I already knew who the other was, and I’m already feeling her furious anger.

[Where are you going? What did you do to those students? Your actions will tarnish this school’s pristine humanitarian and non-discriminatory reputation!]

“Hicchan~! What did you do to those students? Where are you going?~ Your actions will smudge this school’s p-pris-tine?”

“It’s alright Misha, I already knew what Shizune is saying, I mean signing. Let me…”

“Dude, what’s the hold up with the hex girl?” Kenji interrupts me.

Damn it. Kenji, Shizune and Lilly, in a frantic, emergency situation like this. I guess it must be a sign that the world is about to end.

[You are not going to escape! We’re going with you!] Shizune signs as he grabs my arm towards the taxi.

Shizune was surprised to see Lilly and Hanako with us.

“G-Good morning S-Shizune, M-Misha.” Hanako greets them inaudibly.

“Oh my… The Student Council President is here? Good morning.” Lilly’s greeting seems more worried than cheerful.

“Hey kids! This taxi can only sit four people. I can’t take all of you. *sniff*” The driver reminds us.

“Screw them man! We have to get outta here RIGHT NOW!” Kenji urgently said.

“Hey~!” Misha protests.

“We can’t just leave them out here! Where’s your conscience?” I blurted out, but in reality I don’t have anything to say. I did want to say that maybe some of us can sit on other’s lap, but then I would sound like a complete pervert.

“Then fine! The drill-haired girl will chair the hex girl, and you, you guard my back!” Kenji yells.

“Okay.”

Wait, what? Sometimes it makes me wonder how he can make something kind of gay, sounding totally not gay.

Although I want to protest, Kenji pushes me to the seat and quickly sits on my thighs. Misha and Shizune took the front seat. I find myself jealous of how Misha seems to enjoy our situation.

As the taxi ran along the road, I deeply regretted hesitating at that moment were even if I might look like a pervert, there might be a slight chance that Lilly or Hanako will sit on my lap. Anyone of them will sure beat having this psycho constantly twist and turn, looking outside with his binocs and acting like some kind of paranoid schizophrenic.

I began thinking what it feels like to have one of them sit on top of me. I personally, prefer to feel Lilly’s soft and smooth skin. Her hair next my shoulder helps me think of what it smells and feels like when it flows on my face. She would probably allow me to hold on tight to her so that she won’t hit anything with her head. I feel like when given a chance like that again, I can fight a whole class or two of Cromartie students just to savor Lilly’s body next to mine.

My thoughts turn now to Hanako. Although almost half of her body is covered in scars, she covers most of it with her uniform and stockings. She possesses the smoothest, almost silk like hair in the class, maybe even in all of the girls in the school. I guess I have a thing for her long, smooth hair. I’m also familiar with the sweet scent of her hair, penetrating from my sense of smell towards my broken yet warm heart, burning with passion and desire glowing outwards like an everlasting ember, always eager to hold her smooth hand and candle-like fingers but restrained by her delicate and innocent demeanor.

Whenever I see her deep and sad eyes, it compels me to protect her from any form of harm, shield her heart from any presence of hurt and to kiss her worries and sadness away, to make her happy ever second of her life. I’ll give her not just chocolate but even my life. I’ll shower her not only with praises but with my tears. Tears of joy, knowing that somehow in my short, insignificant life, a wonderful person is filled with happiness and warmed with my love. I can imagine her hugging me tightly, with only the moon and the stars watching us, her light and warm body, pressing against mine, melting the chains of my inhibitions and letting go of my long held steaming desire. As I savor this feeling my vision fade to white.

Then suddenly turns to black as something seems to hit me on the face.

“The fuck dude! You jizzed on my pants! Jesus Christ!” Kenji yells at me.

“What the fu-!” as I am still clueless on what is going on here.

“I thought it was only your phone or something but suddenly I feel something wet and warm. Not cool!” He continuously yell as he lift his ass from me, the smell quickly fills the cab, confirming his accusations.

I don’t want to look at anyone.

But then as if an impulse to know if there is any chance to save my face, I opened my eyes. I saw the girls’ faces blushing heavily as they giggle, except for Misha who is laughing her heart out. I saw the driver trying very hard to suppress his laughter suddenly squirts mucus from his nose to the steering wheel forming a bridge, which makes Misha’s Wahahaha~! louder.

In my mind I wanted to laugh at what I saw but I quickly realized that I blew it. Not only my wad, but my chances of making it past the friendship zone with these girls. Suddenly, I feel that the thought of school reunions and yearbooks doesn’t appeal much to me anymore.

“Damn it man! It’s as if you just bleached our pants.” Kenji says irritated.

When I heard him say that, in my thoughts I said no, just no. Bleach is one of my favorite shows. I’d like to offer him another choice of word but I suddenly realized that there is no term for male creampie inside their clothes. If I can think of one, it might be the first time that that word will be used in that way. But then, the idea of the word I’ll coin being used only in yaoi and shemale fetish circles, and my name being dragged along the exotic side of porn that can definitely damage my manhood for the entire duration of my life, makes me immediately brush off idea.

It just made me hope in that slim chance that the show will change its name when they suddenly realized what the fuck does the word bleach has to do with guys with things coming out of their swords anyway. Thanks Kenji, for ruining my favorite show for me.

“Stop spacing out! Geez, wipe your crotch for Christ’s sake!” Kenji yelled while the rest of them were still laughing.

“Get up man! I’ll take your position! I only have limited tissue on me and I don’t really like the idea of you doing that for the rest of the trip,”

“Although I’m a fan of revenge, which I would like to be served cold, the idea of me returning the favor in the same way is really not my cup of tea, so you can relax,” Kenji says in a suddenly calm voice.

“For now.” He says as he coldly stares at me.

The girls and driver are still laughing. I don’t know how much time had passed and for how long they will continue. I wanted to say something but I’m afraid to fan the flames. I decided to ignore their laughter and focus on the scenery. Kenji ordering the driver to slow down because he’s too fast, blabbing something about the second coming, O-face and other terrible puns aimed at me while the girls ate it all happily. Haha guys, very funny.

Kenji is having a field day and I totally feel like a pussy today.

I really wish for a chance to save the day so that it can somehow diminish, if not erase my embarrassing impression on them.

Eventually, our trip ended peacefully and happily, at least for them. Shizune’s house seems to sturdy enough to be a fort and large to accommodate us and still have room for more.

[What are you planning to do here in my house?] Shizune intriguingly asked.

I forgot to tell her the whole story. I told her what happened from the beginning and I’m not surprised with her reaction.

Since no one answers our knocks, Shizune opened the door herself and welcomed us into her home.

I turned to Kenji while we are on the lawn.

“What now?” I asked him.

He dragged me away from the girls and after making sure that no one is around, he holds my shoulder while pushing up his thick glasses.

“We have to do what needs to be done.” Kenji says seriously.

“Right, I know that, but I’m asking what would be our first priority. Are we going to fortify the house first? Look for weapons? Secure our supplies?” I asked him eagerly.

He let out a deep sigh and taps my shoulder. His gestures somehow made me feel uneasy. It’s as if what he says next seems to be a very difficult thing that he have to do that. After several seconds of serious deliberation on his part, he said in very serious tone:

“We have to impregnate the girls.”

“What?!” I suddenly yelled. I can’t believe what I just heard. I may not be the survivalist type but I’m pretty sure that repopulating the earth should be at the bottom of things to do. And aside from that, the fact that Kenji’s plan to be closer to girls with a rather intimate purpose is a surprise for me considering his almost allergic view of women.

“Hisao, my friend, I knew that you are new to this game. This is just like answering a test that you are not prepared to take.” He confidently said.

“What? I’m really not following your line of thought, can you elaborate more?”

“Answer the easy questions first.” He sharply replied.

“Will you get to the point already?”

“You are really lucky to be with me in this end of days. I really don’t know how you are going to survive on your own. You are too helpless on your own…”

“God!” I angrily exclaimed.

“Alright, alright. When I first saw this house, I think that it already provides solid protection against the horde so fortification is crossed out. The lawn is pretty wide and we can plant crops and dig well but that is too tiring. Scouring the house for anything we can use is also tiring. Fighting zombies, tiring. So the next would be to reproduce.” Kenji said with a smug smile on his face.

I would like to tell him that fucking is also a tiring thing to do. At least for me. Hypothetically.

“Okay, point taken. How are you supposed to accomplish that?” I said, trying to beat him at his own game.

“You remember Sun Tzu?” he asked.

“Yeah, divide and conquer and stuff, you already told me that.”

“And another thing, know yourself and the enemy to win every battle.” He said with such deep passion.

Sun Tzu may be the world’s greatest tactician and strategist, but I’m not quite sure of the idea of him being a good teacher in how to handle women. If I remember it correctly, he decapitates a bunch of emperor’s concubine when they pissed him off. I told Kenji as much.

“Say what you will man, but he sure got balls of steel being able to pull that off with the emperor watching and get away with it.” He replied, completely dismissing my point.

“So, how can you actually do it?”

“First we have to select which among the girls have the best genetic material in order to give mankind a good restart,” He said in a voice that seems to make me feel dumb.

“So I’ll start with Hanako.”

“What?!” I feel repulsed by his idea. I may not be that close to her but I know that she is as fragile as an eggshell and how just talking to her feels like walking on the thin ice of a frozen lake.

“Do you have any idea on how you have to act when you are around her? She is very skittish even with me, let alone someone who is a complete stranger to her.”

Maybe Kenji really liked Hanako and was just too shy to get close to her. Thinking about that made me feel jealous and I admit it really hurts inside. I liked being with Hanako and every moment that we spent together means a lot to me.

My thought is interrupted when he noticed that I was quiet for a while.

“You’re cool with that?” he asked, maybe thinking that since I hang out with Lilly and Hanako means that I like one of them and Hanako is probably that one.

“Of course not! I mean, you have to have a mutual relationship with someone and do it out of love and not of necessity.” I’d like to tell him that it is best to not keep his hopes up because there is a very slim chance that he will succeed, but that would make me sound cynical or bitter, which is not good in either way.

“Then I’ll love her! Although I’m still deeply in love with my ex-girlfriend, I have to do this. It’s about duty.”

“So you know her and how to ‘successfully’ have her?” I said doubtingly.

“Yeah, moe chicks dig moe joes.” He bluntly said.

“Just like that. And all will go just as planned?”

“Yeah, more or less.”

“Good luck with that.” I said sarcastically.

“Well… Whatever man.” he said as he left.

I don’t like his tone when he said that. It seems that he is belittling me, like I can’t do it and I can kill myself trying to do it. But the thought of him restraining his words somehow makes me think that even though he is crazy and paranoid, he’s still a good person.

Now I hate myself, my body, circumstances, all that made me who I am right now. What have I done to deserve this fate? I know that it is not that disabling as being blind or mute or deaf, but its damaging my confidence, self-esteem and my outlook in life.

Even if I got lucky enough to find the girl that would love me for all I am, I’m not sure if I can give her the kind of experience that other normal couples have. Going to places without worries, making love without her trying to figure out if I am moaning because of pleasure or because of heart attack, doing my part in household chores and tending to our baby if ever.

Thinking such things made me remember what I forgot to bring with me here.

How I wish I could use this phrase in a totally different context.

I am so fucked.

Okay, so you went for silly...

Anyway, tenses are better in this one; only two or three off.
And Sun Tzu offered many pieces of wisdom, but "Divide and Conquer" is from another famous general: Julius Ceasar.

Yeah, I guess. The story is absurd from the beginning. At first I was typing just for fun, but then it feels like I have to finish this, which somehow puts pressure.

I'm referring to what Kenji said in-game. But still, thanks for the additional info.
