So guys, I've gotten some praise for my zombie stories in the past so I've decided to take them down and reboot them with more details, more action, more horror/gore, more conflicts, and more cameos/references. I've taken some things out and added in others. I hope you guys enjoy this reboot as much as I've enjoyed writing it. Please feel free do drop me a PM if you want some things added into the story and as always you can show your support by leaving me a review as I read ALL of them no matter how mean they are. I love all of you guys and stay beautiful c:

Kagome, a normal 17 year old high school girl had just left her school and was returning home. She was followed by her best friends Ayumi, Yuka, Yuri and Hojo, a senior.

After Kagome unlocked the door, they all filed in.
"Mom, I'm home!" Kagome called.

She only got a moan in response and Hojo was pounced on by Kagome's zombified Mother. Half of her face was torn and her innards were hanging from her belly. Blood was spraying out of her wounds and was dripping on Hojo's face. She snapped and growled at the man.
"What the fuck?!" The girls shouted, hardly trying to hide their disgust
"Get off of me!" Hojo grunted. He jammed his palm against the Kagome's undead mother and sent her sprawling to the ground with a dislocated jaw. He wiped his face from the blood and saliva. "Quick, upstairs!" Hojo shouted. He grabbed Kagome by the wrist and pulled her along.

They all ran up the stairs and hid in a closet. "Shhh." Hojo hushed.
"Listen...I hear foot steeps." Hojo whispred.
"Me too." Yuri peeped.
Kagome was curled into a ball and was crying.

They jumped at the sound of a gunshot. The door opened and they screamed.
"Woah, woah, woah take it easy!" A voice said.

They looked up in shock at the battle-clad soldier
"Who're you?" Ayumi asked.
"I'm Bankotsu, leader of the Band of Seven, commander of sector 6 of the 13 Court Guard Squads." Bankotsu said as he holstered the 50 caliber Desert Eagle.

They stood up and piled out of the closet.
"What are you doing here?" Hojo asked. "The companies usually work in America and parts of Europe."
"I'll fill you in later." Bankotsu smiled.
"...Have any of you been bitten?" Bankotsu asked suddenly. His friendly face turned cold and hard.
"My grandpa has been 3 days ago. He's in the basement." Kagome said.

Bankotsu reached for his VP-70M and chambered the 9mm round.

"Any of you know how to handle a gun?" He asked.
"I've shot a few times. I know the basics." Hojo announced.
"Good."
Bankotsu tossed the gun to Hojo whom caught the small framed side arm with ease.
"Just make sure that you aim for the head, yeah? Sit tight." Bankotsu chambered the 6.8mm round into his ACR. "I'll be back."

They heard the basement door slam open and a sickly low growl. Most likely coming from Kagome's grandfather. There was a loud thud followed by a single crack. The heavy thud of steel-toed combat boots ascending the stairs. The door opened and Bankotsu walked into the room. "Okay. It's clear."

Kagome snapped her head to look at Bankotsu.
"My brother! He's still at school, we've gotta go get him!"
Bankotsu crouched down in front of Kagome.
"I can't do that right now. Not until my squad gets here."
Kagome started crying again. "Please, Bankotsu!" She choked out through tear-filled sobs. "He's all I've got left!"

Bankotsu stood up and looked down with a complex look on his face. He looked at the crying girl's friends then back to her. He sighed.

"How far away is the school?" He asked.
"It isn't that far, maybe half a mile. I can take you there." Kagome stood up.
"You do realize that I won't be able to keep you safe?" Bankotsu said.
"I know but it's my brother..."
"I can go too. I can watch over her." Hojo said.

Bankotsu stared at the both of them.
"Are you sure? You could die out there." Bankotsu asked once more.
"Positive." The two said.
"We want to go too!" The rest of Kagome's friends chimed in.
"So it's settled. Remember, if anything happens out there, you've asked for this."

Bankotsu turned around and held his hand up to his ear and flicked his comms on.
"Overlord Actual, this Dragon Hammer 1-1, how copy?" Bankotsu begun to pace back and forward.
"Dragon Hammer 1-1 this is Overlord Actual."
"Overlord Actual, I'm requesting the go ahead on a rescue mission at the Jackal Middle School. I have reason to believe one or more civvies residing within. Over."
"Dragon Hammer 1-1, what is the current status on the infection?"
"It's here Overlord Actual. I have two confirmed KIA. The streets are empty but they may become overrun, how copy?"
"Good copy Dragon Hammer 1-1. Green light confirmed. You've got 20 Mikes. We'll inform your squad of your location."
"Good copy Overlord Actual. Dragon Hammer 1-1 out."

Bankotsu turned towards the group.
"I've got the green light from higher command. We've got 20 minuets until the convoy arrives on scene. Stick close to me. Stay low and quiet. Okay? No heroics. Just in and out."

Kagome looked at Bankotsu with a glint in her eye. "Hai. And...Thank you."

The group gathered up make-shift weapons and filed out the back door of the Higurashi estate. They stayed 5 paces back from Bankotsu, as per instruction.

Bankotsu raised up a fist. "Hold." He leaned his ACR against the wall and pulled out his combat knife. "Stay here. I'll be right back."

He turned the corner and grabbed a zombie by it's hair and drove his knife into the base of it's skull and dragged it around the corner where he gently set the body down. He picked up his ACR.

"The school's just across the street." Bankotsu whispered. "But there's a decent sized group of zombies surrounding the-"

Bankotsu brought up his rifle and swung around after a sharp noise broke through the air. He peaked around the corner and noticed a car's flashing lights. A walker hit the car and activated the alarm. The rest of the zombies begun to claw at the car and were going away from the street.

"Go, go, go!" Bankotsu ordered.

The group ran across the street and towards the school. When they arrived, Bankotsu broke through the door and raised his rifle and scanned the area. He turned and motioned for the teens to enter the school. When everybody was accounted for, Bankotsu barred the door behind them.

"Okay." Bankotsu whispered. "Quick in and out. We've got 5 minuets."

Kagome pulled out her cellphone and dialed Souta's number.

"Sis?" He whispered through the phone.
"It's me, bud. Where are you?"
"I'm in the lockers in the gym. Number 21. Help me, please!" He cried.
"Souta, don't worry." Kagome bit back tears. "We're here. We're coming for you. Hold on."
Souta was crying. "Get here fast. I don't know how long the door can hold them. I love you, sis."
"I love you too, Souta. We're coming for you."

Bankotsu turned towards Kagome.
"Where is he?"
"In the locker room. Locker 21."
Bankotsu looked at the signs around the school to get his bearings. He found an arrow pointing to the locker rooms.
"Stay here. I'll be back soon."

Bankotsu ran down the hallway. They could hear his boots thudding on the ground with every step he took.
