The K-ON Virus
Notes: So, I have been playing Left 4 Dead for the last few months and I've been messing around with a mod that changes the characters into K-ON characters. Now I did read a story recently from someone who did a K-ON zombie fic, but wasn't entirely happy with how the story turned out. I don't like my K-ON characters dying horrible deaths…so I am writing my own! The story will be mature for blood, gore, and other mature situations, and I will try to keep all the characters in character…but you never know how those zombie apocalypses will change a person. AU where zombies exist and the girls haven't graduated yet.
Just the Beginning
Ring ring-
Ring ring-
"Onee-chan, it's time for school!"
Blankets shifted as a hand quickly shot out and smacked the top of the offending and annoying alarm before it disappeared back under the blankets. It was too cold outside of the warm comforter and the girl underneath had no intentions of moving from them. Even as her sister walked into the room and shook her prone form she shook it off and tried desperately to go back to sleep.
"Onee-chan! Stop being stubborn, you have school!"
Finally the brunette shot up from her slumber, hair sticking up in a crazy manner, as she shot her sister a sleepy glance.
"Mou, Onee-chan, you're going to be late!"
"Ui…?"
"Hurry up, get dressed and go brush your hair." Ui said sternly as she pushed the half-asleep girl out of bed and towards the bathroom.
After finally waking up and getting dressed for school, Yui Hirasawa let out a loud yawn as she grabbed a piece of jammed toast before heading out with her sister, Ui, to school. The two sisters walked side by side as the older looked up towards the sky in a daze. It was almost over, high school was almost done and she had been so busy the last few weeks she hadn't gotten any time to herself or to be with her friends. Well, that wasn't true. Yui had been hanging out with her friends almost constantly, but it wasn't the fun hanging out. All they did lately was study for college entrance exams and it was starting to depress the usually energetic girl.
"Ne, Ui?"
"Hai?"
"I don't like growing up…it's too hard. Can I go back to being in kindergarten?" Yui asked as she instantly clung to her sister's arm while whimpering softly. The younger, but more mature sibling, chuckled softly before patting her older sister on the head.
"Mou, Onee-chan…everyone has to grow up sometime. You'll get use to it eventually." Ui replied as she sighed softly. "But hey, you shouldn't be too sad…you have wonderful friends that you'll be going to college with."
"…Well that's true. I'm sorry I guess I'm just stressed out." Yui admitted as she let go of her sister and stretched her arms out towards the sky while sighing softly.
"I hope Mugi-chan brought yummy snacks today~"
Ui chuckled softly at this before continuing their walk to school silently.
When the finally reached the lockers Yui let out a happy gasp when she saw her most favorite kouhai kneeling down to put on her indoor shoes. Taking this opportunity, Yui snuck up behind the distracted younger girl before full on glomping her, holding her tiny frame in her arms as the girl let out a startled "Nya!" before quickly regaining her balance before snapping her head around to look daggers at her senpai.
"Yui-senpai!"
"Good morning, Azunyan~" Yui purred out as she began to rub the side of her head against Azusa's while hugging the kouhai tightly. After a moment of struggling the rhythmic guitarist finally got out of the vice grip and brush herself off before glaring at the airhead.
"Mou, can you try to be a little more mature, Yui-senpai…you're about to graduate."
"Well, that may be true, but I am still me. And you love me like I am right?"
The twintailed girl opened her mouth to retort but the bell began to ring and she sighed softly as Yui gasped and quickly took off her shoes to put on her indoor shoes before running to class.
"I'll see you after school Azunyan!"
"Hai hai…" Azusa waved as she watched the brunette disappear upstairs before she turned and walked with Ui to their classroom.
The day went by rather slowly for Yui as she gazed longingly outside at the trees that were slowly change colors to their fall colors. Chocolate eyes scanned the streets and skies while the teacher rambled on and on about something, she wasn't really paying attention.
"Yui, pay attention, these things are important."
She heard her childhood friend, Nodoka, whisper when she noticed Yui staring off into space.
"A-Ah, sorry sorry." Yui whispered back before turning her eyes to the teacher. She briefly wondered about Azusa, her cute little kouhai. A smile graced her lips as she closed her eyes and began to think about how wonderful it felt to hug her. Azusa was always a wonderful subject to think about when she really didn't want to listen to the lectures, sure the kouhai had a sharp edge to her, but no one else seemed to be able to calm her down like Yui could. Not to mention that lately, Yui had been feeling a bit differently towards Azusa, the lead guitarist found herself staring at those hips as she walked, staring into the glaring eyes when she was getting scolded, and even noticing that she had grown a little around the chest area recently.
Yui began to blush as she thought that before she shook her head and tried once more to focus on the teacher. She hated that she couldn't stay focused on what was important.
Well, Azunyan is very important to me…I guess it isn't a bad thing to think about her from time to time…
Part of Yui's mind argued as little visions of the kouhai smiling at her flashed in her mind. She really did like thinking about her, so maybe just this once, she would block out everything except that beautiful smile.
"Yui! You didn't take down any notes? Mou, you're worse then me."
"You didn't write anything useful down Ritsu, just drew a bunch of random doodles…what is this one suppose to be?" Mio asked as she pointed to a rather silly looking picture of something with a pig nose.
"Ton-chan."
"Ah…"
"Anyways, why have you been spacing out so much recently?" Nodoka asked causing everyone to get back on subject. They had all noticed Yui's lack of interest in the lessons that day and decided to talk to her after school was over as they walked to the clubroom.
"N-No reason!" Yui said defensively as she rubbed the back of her head nervously. "I think after all the studying my brain is just not able to process anymore information!"
"That's a lame excuse…" Nodoka said before she stopped to go a seprate way then the Light Music Club. "In any case, I'll see you later Yui." She bowed to the rest of the group before turning to head to the student council room.
"Now that Nodoka is gone, will you tell us the real reason for your odd behavior…well odder then normal anyways." Ritsu asked as she looked straight into those chocolate eyes.
Yui began to look anywhere but those bold golden eyes as she chuckled nervously.
"R-Really, it's just stress!"
"What are you doing senpai?"
Yui's heart jumped happily when she spotted the young kouhai on the stairs, obviously on her way to the clubroom as well before she noticed her seniors all standing still as well as in the middle of the road.
"Azunyan!"
"A-Ah, No don't Yui-senp-ACK!"
All protests died as Azusa once again found herself in the tight hug. She didn't know why, but recently Yui had been giving her more hugs then normal, and even though she really didn't mind them it was still embarrassing.
"Y-Yui-senpai, we need to get to the clubroom and practice!"
"Hang on, I needs my Azunyan energy recharged~"
"Mou!"
After they all finally made it up the stairs and started getting their instruments ready, Ritsu couldn't help herself, she had to see what everyone thought of the latest bit of news she saw this morning on the television.
"So, did you all hear about that new flu virus that's out?"
"You mean the one that is already at pandemic proportions?" Tsumugi asked as she plugged in her keyboard. "I heard a little bit about it from my father, but he is in Finland right now so he doesn't have much else to go by other then phone calls and news papers."
"It's nothing serious." Mio said as she pulled her bass on her shoulders. "It's just the media blowing things out of proportion again…by the end of this month, they'll have something new to report on and no one will remember this flu."
"Don't your parents have it Mio?" Ritsu asked, looking slightly worried at her childhood friend. When she didn't reply Ritsu gave her a small smile. "Mine have it too, and it seems Satoshi is a little sick as well."
"Yeah? I hope they get better…do they have vaccines out yet for it?"
"Not that I've heard of, Mio-senpai. They seem pretty baffled by these flu symptoms." Azusa said as she sat down on the bench and began to play a few notes, checking the tuning before Yui sat down next to her.
"What's this about the flu?" Yui asked as she laid her head on Azusa's shoulder, earning a small sigh from the kouhai before she shook Yui's head off.
"You haven't heard? Don't you watch a lot of television?" Ritsu asked.
"Yeah, but I haven't recently."
"What about your parents?" Mio asked.
"They are in Germany right now, so I haven't really heard from them."
"Your parents really do a lot of traveling…" Azusa stated as she stood up. "Let's just practice a little then head home for the night…I have to see how my parents are doing…they seemed to have caught the flu as well. They weren't doing so well when I left this morning."
"If you want Azusa, we can bring some food over or cook for you." Mio said as she walked over and gave the young guitarist a pat on the head.
"Don't worry about it, I haven't caught it yet so, I think I can cook them something nice when I get home."
"Seems odd that none of us have caught it yet, but I guess we're just that awesome!" Ritsu yelled as she pumped her fist into the air. "But Azusa, is right, let's get down to practicing, let's start with Fuwa Fuwa Time!"
"Hai!"
After practice, Yui made the long walk home, her stomach making soft growling noises as she thought about what yummy foods Ui could be making that night. She was so lucky to have such a wonderful sister like her and she couldn't ask for anyone else. As she passed an allyway she didn't notice a man stumbling behind her until a hand shot out and gripped her shoulder tightly making her scream loudly before he dropped to the ground. Yui quickly turned to look at the fallen man, eyes wide with fear as her heart began to slow down after the sudden startling event passed.
"U-Uhm, are you okay mister?" She asked softly. She heard the man groan softly and slowly try to pick himself up and that's when Yui noticed something was off. She frowned.
He must be drunk…I really don't want to mess with drunk people, especially tonight.
"I forgive you for startling me, I have to go now, I hope you...erm…I wish you well." Yui said quickly before she moved backwards and ran off down the sidewalk to her house as fast as she could. People like that man made her uncomfortable, they were unpredictable and she didn't know what he would have done if she stuck around to help him. After running all the way home and opening the front door she sat down her school bag near the door as well as taking off her shoes before she wondered into the house and placed Gitah at the kitchen table before sitting down herself.
"Ui~ I'm home!" Yui called out before she stretched out before laying her head against the nice cool tabletop.
"Welcome home, Onee-chan." Ui said as she sat down a plate in front of her exhausted sister before she sat down herself and picked up her chopsticks. "Mom and Dad called today. They said they'd be late coming home. Seems all flights are canceled coming in and out of Japan."
"Eh? That's weird, why?"
"Well, I looked at the news, seems like there's a storm coming some time this week…but I don't think that would cause all the planes to just stop taking off."
"Hmm…oh well. Let's eat and do homework together tonight, okay?" Yui asked, giving that rather innocent smile before Ui returned it.
"Okay, Onee-chan, I'd love that!"
"I'm home!" Mio called out as she walked in through the front door. When she noticed no one call back she figured they must have been asleep and took off her shoes and put her school bag down before wondering up to her parent's room.
"Papa? Mama?" She called out once more before opening the door to their room. She heard her father wheeze out before going into a coughing fit.
"Mio? S'that you?"
"H-Hai…how're you and mama doing?" Mio asked as she walked over to the bedside and knelt down near them.
"N-Not so good…we took some medicine but it doesn't feel like it's working…you're mother is exhausted…I think she fell asleep a little bit ago."
"Ah, do you want me to make you anything?" Mio asked, reaching out to brush a hand on her father's forehead to feel how hot he was, once her hand touched his burning skin she pulled it away, as if the skin had actually burned her.
"P-Papa! You're burning up!"
"I k-know sweetie…not much we can do about that though…we just need rest."
Mio looked at her parents sadly before nodding softly.
"Papa…I love you, and Mama a lot…please get better."
"Of course…go rest and…study…" Mio heard her father say before his eyes closed and he passed out into a fevered sleep.
Mio looked at her two sick parents worriedly before turning to walk out of the room before pulling out her cell phone and dialing 911. When she did this she held the receiver up to her ear and was surprised to hear the busy signal.
"What the…what's going on?"
"Satoshi! I'm home!"
"Nee-chan?" The younger sibling walked out of the living room, gaming controller still in his hands as he watched his sister take off her shoes before walking towards him with a smile.
"How're you doing? You look a little livelier then when I last checked on you."
"Y-Yeah, I feel a little bit better, but Mom and Dad are still in bed sleeping I think. Last time I checked on them…Dad said something that made me worried…so I called nine one one, but I got a busy signal…it's been like that all day Nee-chan. But it's Mom! She's coughing up blood…"
Ritsu looked at her brother worriedly before sprinting upstairs to her parents room, her heart was racing furiously in her chest as she swung the door open and quickly fell on her knees by her parent's bed.
"Dad…Mom?"
"S-Sweetie?"
"Mom! Are you okay, Satoshi told me about…"
"O-Oh, that…I'm fine no-" Ritsu mother seized up and began to cough violently, so violently that Ritsu winced when she saw a speck of blood hit the sheets.
"Mom, you're really sick, we need to get you to the hospital…"
"H-How, your father is the same…and you nor Satoshi can drive…don't w-worry…we'll be f-fine in time…"
"But…"
"Ritsu, be a good girl and g-go fix your b-brother food…d-do your homework too okay?"
"I….okay mom…" Ritsu leaned down and kissed her mother on the forehead before pulling back, she was very worried when she felt the heat radiating off her mother's forehead, but what else was there that she could do? She inhaled shakily before getting up and walking to the door. "I love you Mom…I love you too Dad…I hope you guys get better." Ritsu whispered as she closed the door to her parent's room and walked to the kitchen to make her brother something to eat.
"Mother, Father, I made you some soup…do you think you can stomach it?" Azusa asked as she sat the two bowls down near her weakened parents before staring down at their prone forms sadly. It hurt to see them like this, too weak to get up, coughing fits would literally shake them to the bone.
"…T-Thanks Azusa-chan…" Her mother whispered, but made no move to get up to feed herself.
Azusa decided to try and feed her herself, taking the spoon with a little bit of soup in it before offering it to her mother. The woman looked down at it then shook her head.
"W-We'll eat w-when we feel like it…why don't you go do your chores…"
"B-But…I'm worried about you…"
"I know…I c-can see that." Azusa flinched as she felt the very hot hand touch her forehead before she felt tears come to her eyes as she leaned against the weak touch and nuzzled it.
"M-Mother…I'm really worried about you both…we….we should call the hospital…"
"W-Will you d-do that for us…I'm getting too t-tired to stay up."
"H-Hai!...I'll be right back." Azusa whispered as she got up and quickly walked out of her parent's room and pulled out her cell phone to call the hospital. It didn't even ring. It went straight to the busy signal and Azusa's heart sunk. This flu must have hit the city hard if nine one one lines were busy. She made a soft noise of distress as she fell to her knees and sniffled softly. She was so worried for her parent's health that all she wanted was to be with someone other then here tonight. After a moment she heard both her parents cough hard before she heard silence.
"I…I'm sorry mother…I'm sorry father…I guess there's really nothing I can do." She pulled herself up and went into the kitchen to do the dishes before heading to bed. She was emotionally exhausted and figured a good nights rest would do the trick to ease her troubled mind. She didn't realize that all her senpai felt the same. Worried equally about their parents, weather it be the parents who couldn't get back into the country, or the parents that were slowly weakening to the flu-like symptoms.
Just what is going on here?
As Azusa's eyes closed, she could feel a chill slide up her back and into her brain. She felt like something bad was going to happen to her parents, but she didn't know what. And because of that, sleep did not come easy for the poor kouhai. It took her a good two hours before sleep finally took over and her garnet eyes closed unaware of the brewing troubles that were on the horizon.
Author Notes: Sad first chapter is sad. T_T I got all teary eyed while writing this. Funny, my first outline started out so much different then this, but I like this one better for it shows the actual raw emotions behind each character as they try to figure out what is hitting the city so hard…Things are just getting started sadly…And no, this story isn't focused on just Yui and Azusa, thought it'll seem like it at times. But trust me, each couple is going to get its fair share of screen time…and each one is going to get their on little parts of drama. Tell me how well I did on this first chapter. Like I said, this is going to be depressing, but I really want to do this zombie apocalypse thing right.
Edit: I added scene breaks so less confusion. Don't know why I didn't do that before. X3
