The group soon all met up in the front room of the house.

Arashi looked around. "Cool, we can-""SHOWER!" Claudine shrieked and ran, but Minako grabbed her by the back of her collar making her run in in place. It looked very comical, Zethenali couldn't help but laugh at it."We need room arrangements first, we shouldn't sleep by ourselves… you know, in case." Minako said, "Any requests?" Katsumi's hand shot straight up, "You don't count." Katsumi pouted."Fine, I'll do it. Harm and Katsumi will share a room. Zethenali and Arashi will share. Avis and Sicarius, you two in the next room, and finally.." Minako sighed, "I'll share one with Claudine."

Kasumi, Zethenali, and strangely Harm looked disappointed, but she covered it up before she was noticed."I call first shower." Arashi said, walking into their room."Same!" Harm hollered, running as fast as she could.

Claudine dashed into the room that she would be in. Minako trudged after her.

Sicarius walked into his room after Avis.

Zethenali was about to follow Arashi, but was stopped by Katsumi, who grabbed his arm."Wait! I got an idea."Arashi got out of the shower wearing only his black fishnet Pants. He had a under suit of his robes it was all black and it was skin tight and made of metal fibers to black knives from any living, crazy people. Thankfully Arashi had got a pair of non-see-though ones. He saw that Zethenali had fell asleep on the bed coving himself completely. "Shower is free." Arashi said simply and collapsed on the couch felling asleep in mid blankets flew off the bed showing Katsumi. She walked over to Arashi. "Hey Foxy." That had become her pet name for him since his name was one letter from Kitsune, which meant fox, so he had taken the name and made it his. He was to sweet to deny her request for the got no response, "Arashi?" No response. "I know your faking nobody sleeps that fast!" No response again. She rolled him over and saw he was really fast asleep. "Wow..." She dragged him across the room and to the bed. Katsumi picked him up, using a lot of effort, and put him in her left side. Katsumi went to take a shower, leaving the door unlocked, just in case he was to be faking.

Claudine sat on the bed in her new room. This was a big house! She giggled, a bit bored. Minako demanded she took a shower first, so Claudine let her.

Minako soon came out of the room, wearing a tank and some small shorts, groaning. She pulled the tank top away from her body, though it quickly went back onto her, being really tight. "Is this a whore house?" she asked Claudine. She got a giggle in reply.

Claudine hopped up and into the shower room.

Minako rolled her eyes and walked out of the room, making her way downstairs, into the second floor, where all the boys should have been staying. She went out into the balcony and kneeled down so no one could see her. The moan of zombies were in the distance.

Avis and Sicarius had both taken showers by now and were wearing anything they could find for bed. Without a word, they both left their rooms, both obviously not ready for sleep at the moment.

Zethenali and Harm sat in their new room, after Zethenali and Katsumi did a little switch-a-roo.

"So, you still think you could be the leader of this group?" Harminly asked, laying back.

"Maybe. And you?" he asked in reply, smirking.

"Maybe."

The two had talked in the jeep where they were miserably shoved next to each other and forced to talk. They argued most of the time, but in the end came to the conclusion that they were both idiots.

"Yeah, awesome," Zethenali replied with a sigh.

Harminly sat up and walked out of the room, moaning, "I'm starving." She trudged along, patting her stomach.

The group had been going away at everything for hours. Avis looked around for people, making sure none had turned into zombies. He checked out on the balcony every once and awhile, Minako still out there, staring with a hard glare. Finally, he went out on the balcony next to her. Seeing Minako still on duty, he let out an exhausted sigh. "..how is it going out there, Satoru-san? Any dead beats playing in the horizon?" he asked her.

Minako couldn't help but to give a small smirk to the joke he formed into his question. "No bea-.. I mean, no noise out there, but the dead are still out there, Barb-ie doll." Minako almost went out of character when replying back, which gave Avis an almost surprised look as she nearly went along with his play of words.

Avis took her answer and sat down on one of the outdoor cane chairs, which were simple and not elaborate, like they were purchased from a cheap outlet store.

Minako heard Avis sit in a chair and stare out into the river that was off into the horizon, his focus on nothing else. She lost her train of thought for a second until a can of a popular soft drink came into her view by him.

"Take some time to rest, Satoru-san, we will need our brilliant, fiery tactician to be rested up in case anything happens, ey?" Avis said, still staring off into the river, bridges, houses, and city off into the distance for signs of importance.

Minako wanted to smack Avis upside the head for giving her what sounded like an order, though she knew it came from kindness. She took the soft drink he offered to her, not going to rest, but instead taking the cane chair next to him. She looked out into the river along with him. The moon hung over the river.

Avis did not deviate his sight as she sat next to him, figuring she wouldn't listen to him in the first place.

"I will not take a break because you told me to.." Minako opened the soft drink up and took a swig of the surgery carbonated beverage before continuing with her words, "….but thank you for the drink."

The last part of the sentence surprised Avis, though he felt like he had achieved getting to know the nice side of Minako, or at least some of it. Both continued to keep watch together, keeping one another company, having little conversations over other things rather than the present crisis into the night.

Claudine was looking through the closet, trying to find an outfit that wasn't too skimpy, though that was rather impossible. So in the end, she put on a light green, spaghetti strap tank top and some really short shorts. She looked over to a mirror and twirled around. She felt like a stripper, but it would have to do. Claudine exited the room, going down into the kitchen.

Soon, Sicarius, Claudine, Harminly, and Zethenali were all in the kitchen, stuffing their faces.

"This… is the best piece of broccoli I've ever tasted…!" Harminly yelled through scarfs of food.

Sicarius, unlike most, just nibbled on his food. He was tired, but hungry. He had to eat first. He felt weird. What was he talking about?

Zethenali had just ate three whole bowls of soup. He finished without picking anything up and moved right out of the kitchen, into the front room. Zethenali quickly collapsed on the couch, and was asleep right as his head hit the cushion.

Harminly moaned. "I'm tired," she said, resting her head on the table. "Will someone carry me up? I don't want to walk!"

Claudine, eating some lettuce, whined. "I'm too weak! Sicarius, carry us both.." she begged, laying her head down on the kitchen table.

Sicarius looked scared. He wasn't gonna carry these girls up. While the two were whining and complaining, he gently got out of his chair and tiptoed upstairs.

Harminly, getting tired of complaining, fell right out of her chair, asleep on the ground.

Claudine fell asleep with lettuce in her mouth.

The next morning Arashi woke up feeling arms around him. I didn't know Zethenali swung that way... he thought. Arashi almost gasped hearing a sigh that sounded very similar. "Ka-Katsumi?""Oooh, Foxy-kun! I didn't know you liked S&M," she said in her sleep, and pulled Arashi closer into her making his whole face burn red. He remembered Katsumi slept for a long LONG time when she was comfortable, or at least that was what she told him, so Arashi was forced to listen to her sleep talk until his whole body turned red with embarrassment. Zethenali walked right in, the first one being up out of the rest."Lucky bastard! I get slapped multiple times yet you get cuddle session with a hot babe? Man fate is cruel."

Arashi shot him a glare from between her arms.

Zethenali pulled out his cell phone and started taking pictures, "Black mail!" He ran out in a giggle fit.

Arashi just sighed and tried to fall asleep again. After all, she was comfortable!

Harminly opened her eyes to find herself and Claudine nose to nose, a piece of lettuce in the French girl's mouth. Claudine's eyes were closed. "You fell asleep on me!" Harminly yelled, pushing her right off.

Claudine woke up with an 'oof', being pushed off of the girl and onto the floor.

"Ew, ew, ew!" Harminly yelled, sitting up and clenching her fists. "I don't swing like that, Frenchie!" she called, clenching fists.

Claudine finished eating the lettuce and licked her fingers, then replied in a calm matter. "I fell, I didn't mean to."

Harminly stood up and stormed out of the room, still making 'ews'.

Minako was asleep on the couch, a blanket covering up part of her body. Her mouth was slightly open, she snored a bit.

Avis was out on the balcony again. It was about four in the morning, from looking at the way the sun was. He kept watch, he could hear the moan getting closer. They would have to get out of there pretty soon.

Minako sat up quicker than lightning, her face beaded with sweat. She wiped the dumb expression off of her face and pushed the blanket off of her. Looking around the room, she seemed confused. How did she get here? Last time she checked, she was out on the balcony.

"Minako?" Sicarius called, entering the room.

Minako stood up immediately, then remembered with those clothes on, she looked like a hooker, so she grabbed the blanket and covered herself up. "Uh, yeah," she replied, not meaning to.

"Oh.. Um, just making sure everything is okay. Yesterday you seemed… out of it?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah.. Yeah, thanks."

"No problem.." Sicarius awkwardly said, walking out of the room again.

Minako sighed of relief and followed after him, though turned and went up the stairs to where her room was. She looked through her old clothes and fetched her phone through her pocket. Minako punched at the phone numbers and put the tiny cellular device up to her ear, listening to it ring.

"Mama?" Minako cried, hearing the voice of a woman.

"Mina, dear, where are you? Miyuki, Minoru, your father, and I are worried sick about you! Come home immediately, sweetie… We are safe in our home."

That's what you guys think.. she thought. "I'm coming home, don't worry. I'm bringing some friends, though.. We've been fending off for ourselves."

"Oh, dear, you must be dirty!" she cried, loud enough to where Minako had to pull her cell phone away. "Let them fight for you, don't do a thing! Dear, you're so important to us.."

Minako rolled her eyes. "Are you sure you're talking to the right girl?"

"Minako! I know we've had our differences in life, but at times like this… it's when family counts the most."

"Mama, why didn't family matter all the other times, then?"

The other line went silent, though she could still hear her mother breathing. "I have bad connection," she finally said.

"And bad excuses," Minako added on, not caring about if her mother would tell her to quit the attitude.

"Minako! Just… just get home, quick."

"Don't count on it," Minako said as her goodbye, hanging up.

Arashi walked into the room, surprisingly not with Katsumi. "What was that all about?"

"Nothing… we should get out of here," Minako said, not looking at her friend.

"Satoru-san, you can tell us when you're upset, you kn-"

"Call me by my real name!" she yelled, stomping and turning to him.

"Uh… my apologies, Minako.."

Minako pushed past him. "Tell everyone to meet downstairs."

Arashi shrugged and went out, telling everyone what he was supposed to do.

Everyone was soon downstairs, sitting on the couches.

"The dead are getting close," Avis pointed out.

Harminly and Zethenali both sneered.

"Thank you, Captain Obvious," Harminly said with an eye roll.

"I want red shoes!" Claudine stomped, grabbing Avis's arm.

"Shut up!" Katsumi screamed at Claudine, sounding a bit crazed.

Minako rolled her eyes at the group.

Sicarius spoke out, "Let's leave them. Everyone, go look for other things that will be useful. Weapons, clothes, food, medicine, go on."

Arashi nodded. "Come on, let's go," he told Katsumi, bringing her along to find things.

A bit later, the team met back up. All carried big, plastic bags.

"Let's get out of here," Minako concluded, going towards the door. Having the boys unpile the dressers and chairs they used to keep the door shut, the team tiptoed out.

Looking through the broken fence, they could see them out in the distance. Not too far, even.

Arashi pointed over to the side to a bigger van. "Let's use that."

Sicarius nodded and led everyone over to the van. He opened the door up and let the laides all climb in first, taking each bag as they climbed in. He closed the door and went to the back of the van, then had Arashi help him stuff all the garbage bags into the trunk. Closing it, the two went to the front seats.

Arashi backed out, not even using the previous hole they made, but creating a new one. Some pieces of stone fell onto the top of the van after crashing into the stone fence, but they didn't care. Arashi backed out poorly and floored it, going off into the distance.

The team continued on.
