Last Chapter:

"Why the fuck is that shit here on the other side of the world?" Takashi asked/cursed to himself.

"Dammit Saya-chan! Just do as I say! The city is in danger! the school is in danger! We are in danger! I promise I'll make it up to you and other but you go NOW!" Takashi bellowed.

"I can't believe this is happening. And so soon." Takashi said as Army helicopter flew over. Takashi's eyes turned more cold if it was possible.

"Time to kick some Zombie Ass!"

Now:

"Time to kick some Zombie Ass!"

Takashi took a step or two back and rushed ahead. Using the railing as springboard jumped. If anybody had seen what Takashi did just now they would have screamed 'INSANE', because he had just jumped from a height that should kill any normal person or at least mortally injure them.

But Alas! Takashi wasn't normal. Takashi steadily landed on the ground and rolled before rushing towards the gates. By the time he reached the gates 8 of the 10 staff were already 'zombiefied'.

Dana had never been so scared in her life. She didn't know what happened. She was at the reception when she saw the group of teacher heading outside with grim looks plastered on their faces. She got curious and followed came to know that the teacher, who had tried to rape a first year student from last year was at the gates and they were going to chase him away.

She saw and immediately knew something was wrong. He had patches of hair missing and his face was abnormally pale. He also seemed to be acting stupid. He was walking forward groaning and moaning and knocking his head into the gates over and over again.

She knew something was wrong and the next moment Senior Teacher Kogashi extended his to grab the man's collar and to her hand the man bit Kogashi's hand and ripped out a chunk of his hand. Kogashi wailed in pain and rolled on the ground in agony. Dana watched as the man started to turn pale just like the man outside the gate.

Dana's eyes widened in realization. It was just like the Zombie movie she watched a while ago. Hayashi Kyoko, a beautiful teacher with reddish-brown hair and a voluptuous figure stepped ahead but Dana grabbed her hand pulled her back and hissed at her to be cautious and the older woman blushed in embarrassment but nodded before she could warn the other teacher the foolish physics teacher who tried to help Kogashi was brutally bitten on the neck. Both woman watcher in horror and Dana could only swallow. She was right! There are turning into Zombies! Is this some sick joke?!

Dana and Kyoko took steps back and when they stared to run everyone except them were bitten. Both sprinted but the broke her hills and fell down spraining her ankle! Dana tried to help Kyoko ignoring the woman's plea to leave her and run. Kyoko wasn't able to stand up. Dana hugged the woman who was sobbing now and soothed her. She closed her eyes excepting her fate. But she wished that she could have live longer.

'...At least longer to experience what love is like...'

Ask and you shall be granted my child.

Dana held a slashing sound followed by a thud. She opened her eyes only for them to widen at the sight infront of her. Standing infront of her was the Heartthrob of Fujimi Highschool, Takashi Kumoru. A body of zombie laid at his feet with the head near her which she kicked away in disgust! Back to the situation at hand! What is Takashi doing over here?! Didn't he realize how dangerous this is!? And is that-

"Is that a fucking sword!?" Dana and Kyoko cried out in shock. How did a highschool student get his hands on such dangerous weapon?!

Takashi turned back with a lock of surprised/confused look.

"Did you two just swear?"

"Eep!"

Both women blushed realising they had spoken out loud. Takashi looked at the embarrassed women with curious gaze while the women looked at the floor. Meanwhile the zombies looked at each other in confusion.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Takashi coughed into his hand to break the awkwardness.

"*Ahem* Anyways..." Takashi turned to zombies as he smirked at them. "Turned into zombies few minutes ago and you are already bullying pretty women?"

Dana and Kyoko just blushed at the compliment while the zombies just moaned gloomily. Takashi twirled the sword and the held it in a firm grip and pointed his kunai at them.

"Why don't I teach you some manners!" Takashi rushed at them ignoring the shout of protest of the two women.

Takashi slashed the first freak's neck separating it from the body. He slid under one's leg while burring the kunai into the back of the knee and dragging it towards the hip, severing the leg. He spun on his leg and kicked another's stomach making it buckle from the force before cutting of his head with the kunai. A freak tried to grab him from behind much to the horror of the two woman before it turned into shock when Takashi disappeared and reappeared behind him with a black lightning cackling around his right hand which he buried into the freaks back and brutally pulled out his spine.

Dana's and Kyoko's face turned green from the brutality. They couldn't understand how a highschool student be so brutal. Then it struck them and they deadpanned of at themselves.

'He is Takashi-kun after all'

What the-?! How does that make any sense?!

"You should know better than anyone Nova-sama that there is no need for sense and logic when it comes Takashi-kun here..."

...

*Sigh* Whatever.

Dana and Kyoko watched in amazement and admiration as Takashi made a short deal out of the zombies.

"That'll show you not to bully women..." Takashi said piling the zombies and dusting his hands. Dana and Kyoko open their mouths to say something only to stop and sweatdropped as they saw Takashi pull out his phone and take a selfie while stepping on the head of one freak in the pile.

"Hmm... This one is goo-" Noticing the looks that he was getting from the two women Takashi twitched. "What? I didn't get the opportunity last time!"

Dana only shook her head in exasperation in helplessness before her eyes widened.

"W-What do you mea-"

She couldn't finish her question as the school intercom turns on.

"*Screech* Students are urged to evaluate! Violence has occurred on the campus!" The panic voice an adult man echoed through the campus causing the three's eyes to widen. "I Repeat! Violence has occurred on the campus! Students are urged to evalu-Argh! Aaaaah! Nonono! No for the sake of go-NoooooOOOO-! *Screech*"

Dana and Kyoko gulped in fear clearly indicated by the sheen of frightened-sweat visible on their forehead and neck. Dana who had stood up at some point fell back on her butt as her knees gave up.

Takashi just tuned out both frightened women out and closed his eyes. Takashi gritted his teeth and his eyes snapped open glowing red for a small moment before turning back to normal.

'The undead bastards got into school building from the back gates! Those gates are hardly guarded!' Takashi glared at the ground before he took a deep breath and tried to figure out what to do. 'Half of the school is infected by now. Gladly Saya managed to convince other to go with her and are on the rooftop now. Saya-chan, Kyouki-chan, Yuki-chan, Miyamoto-san, Ichijou-san, Niki-san, Yurikawa-sensei and her niece. What was her name again? Ah right, it was Ayame Ichiraku-san. Alright... My priority should be getting these ladies here to safety but first I should head towards the locker to get some... Stuff... Alright then it's decided towards the lockers first!'

Takashi turned towards the shaken women and cleared his throat.

"Come ladies we need to move. The world has turned upside down and I need you both to understand what's happening. The school is no longer safe and so isn't any other part in the whole city. We are in danger because a good chunk of the school and the city has turned into freaks like these(pointing at the dead undead). You may have already noticed that if they bite you then you are doomed. It's just like the movies... Game over. No I want you make a decision are you both gonna sit there in this miserable state and wait for your demise..." Takashi said as he pointed at their states causing them to flinch. "...or you are going to stay strong and survive. The choice is yours. If you decide to take the first one I'll just leave you to your fates (flinch)... But if you take the second one, I promise I'll do anything I can to make sure that you are safe and sound but the condition is that you should be able to carry the weight of what is to come next. So, make your decision and please do it fast..."

Dana and Kyoko looked at each other and nodded in silent agreement.

"Will stay strong by your side Takashi-kun. But Hayashi-san here has sprained her ankle how are you going to help her mov-"

"It's not a problem Takashi cut her before walking up to the injured women and crouched to get a good look at her injury but he got a good look at the choice of undergarments of the mature lady because of way she sat but Takashi just tilted his head slightly to avoid looking anymore. He is not a pervert. 'Though red kinda turns me on ya know...'

The hell! You are not helping Takashi!

'Did I say I want to?'

...

'See-'

Anyways. Back onto the story.

'How rude-'

Takashi gently removed the lady's heels and rubbed at the ankle to get a good feel of it which caused the woman to blush deeply despite herself. 'Nothing too major but a mild sprain. But it will take a day or two minimum for it to heal through normal means. *Sigh* It's not like I have to hide my abilities anymore.'

Takashi withdrew his hands a bit and placed both of them over the injury and much to Dana's and Kyoko's shock Takashi's hands started to glow with warm green light and Kyoko's shock only grew when she felt her pain and discomfort fading. A moment later the glow died down and Takashi stood up helping Kyoko up as he did so.

"All done. There's no pain now, is there?" Takashi dusted his hands and before they could speak he spoke up. "I know that you have questions for me but I promise that I'll answer them when the time comes. Sadly the time isn't coming today or anytime soon. So all I can ask you to do is to place your trust in me. Can you do that? (... ... Nod) Good. Now lets go. And yeah Hayashi-sensei... Please refrain from wearing high heels from now on unless you want me to aid you again. You too Dana-chan..."

Both the women Blushed before the removed their heels and followed Takashi.

Timeskip

Takashi ducked to avoid getting smooched by a Zombie before the said freak was impaled in the head by a javelin which was in the hands of Dana. Dana found in the store room near the reception. Kyoko pulled her hands back and basher the frying pan she wielded into the head of an unfortunate freak. The pan of doom was in the storeroom too.

"Alright all clear. You two can rest now." Takashi said as he flicked the blood of his katana as he walked over the corpses of undead towards the lockers to open it. The two nodded and leaned on the wall to take deep breaths and calm their nerves.

Takashi opened his locker first and emptied the contents on the floor.

'Hmm... Now what do we have here?... Five energy biscuits, some high energy snacks, my standard roll of medical tape, money? Useless... Books? Useless... Bubble gums... Ok... Alright that's it with mine...'

"Here Dana-chan, Hayashi-sensei, tie these around your arms..." Takashi said to the two as he passed the tape roll. Dana nodded and accepted. Takashi pulled out a kunai and stabbed in the keyhole of another locker startling the two.

"What are you doing Takashi-kun?" Kyoko asked Takashi.

"The resources that we have now aren't enough... So I'm looking into other lockers to gather as much as resources we can." Takashi broke the lock by twisting the kunai and the door opened before walked towards other locker. "If are done Dana-chan, Hayashi-sensei then start please start categorising the things eatable, drinkables, medicines, clothes, like that... I'll do the job of opening these lockers".

"Alright!"

A while later Dana and Kyoko sat besides each other. They had just finished categorising things.

"Alright now we have food and water which should last for 3-4 days if but it depends on how large our group will get... Alright time to pack up... " Takashi pulled up the sleeves of this left hand and traced two fingers on the forearm and to the ladies amusement black patters appeared before the was a puff of white smoke and a *poof* sound. As the smoke cleared on the ground laid four scrolls.

The ladies blinked and looked at Takashi who waved his hands saying later and they stayed silent. Takashi sat on the ground and opened a scroll and put all the eatables on the length of scroll before he raised his hands and begin making handseals and when he finished there was another puff of smoke and as it cleared the eatables were gone and the kanji on the scroll glowed.

"Alright here we go the eatables are stored away safely now onto..." Takashi turned only to sweatdrop as he saw the two adult women looking at him with kid expressions. You know with mouth open, eyes wide with stars with them and hands near the chest clenched? Yeah the same one...

Takashi shook his head and got onto work with other three.

"With that done lets move... We need to meet up with others on the rooftop... Quick Hayashi-sensei grab the sports bag and put the scrolls in them and wear it. I'll walk ahead and clear path and as I do so you stay between while Dana-chan takes care if any freaks attacks from the rear. Alright?... Good! Lets go!"

Takashi twirled the kunai and caught it in a reverse grip. Takashi walks ahead and kicks the doors and on the cue all the freaks turn their head towards them. Takashi flicked his hand and the kunai flew out impaling through the head of several freaks before it lodged into the wall on the other side. Takashi clenched his hands and analyzed the site before he found something at the corner of his eyes before he smirked and the katana puffed out.

"While katana is all graceful and all I believe I'll beat you up with brute strength plus using a katana in a cramped up area will have me at a disadvantage." Takashi said as raised his hands and banged it into the glass box and pulled out a black-red crow bar. He pulled out the remaining tape and wrapped it around the crowbar to get a better grip. Finished he raised it up and put it on his neck.

"Here I come suckers!" Takashi ran towards them, gripping the crowbar with both his hands and pulled back, closing distance towards the first freak and swung hard onto the him. The force caused the head of the undead to explode and the now headless-body was launched backwards knocking into four other freak. Takashi spun on his heel and swung bashing another one before he kicked on in stomach and pulled the hook around his neck and with a show on unnatural strength he swung around the body, knocking other freaks away.

He spun on his heel and kept swinging like a tornado, he kept this up for a while until no freaks were standing. He came to a stop and banged the body on the ground ripped the head off, twirling the crowbar, flicking off the blood.

"With that out of the way. Let's march forward!" Takashi said walking forward ignoring the owlish expression on the faces of his two companions. Dana and Kyoko shook themselves out of their stupor and walked hurriedly.

In the middle of their climb on the stair Takashi's ears perked up as he heard a faint scream.

'Saya-chan!' Takashi recognised in alert. Takashi concentrated and gritted his teeth. Saya and the rest were down near the nurse's office and were surrounded. Takashi sighed in relief when he sensed Saeko fending of freaks with Rei, Kyoki, and Ayame doing the same. 'They will be overwhelmed at this rate!'

"Dana-chan! Hayashi-sensei! We have to hurry!" Takashi said and began running. The two were startled but ran behind Takashi.

Few moments later Takashi and Co. were in the hallway where Saya and the group were in peril. Takashi pulled the crowbar back and his eyes glowed red in rage.

"Haaaaaaaa!" Takashi gave a cry and bashed the freak near Rei, startling the girl but he didn't stop as he bashed another and then spartan kicked on in the chest impaling him on the large nail on the wall. He flipped over three freaks and flicked his hand as a kunai went through their heads and lodged inti the ground. Midair he twisted his body and swung down and hard the sharp point of the curved hook buried deep into the head of the freak that was trying to give his Saya the smooch of death or undeath or whatever. Takashi grabbed the freak by the back of collar and with a mighty grunt threw him back on the otherside of the hallway knocking away other freaks in the process. Takashi grunted before he flicked the blood and flesh of the crowbar.

"You are late Takashi-kun..." Called out a soft but firm voice. Takashi smirked as he turned towards the woman.

"Am I now Sae-chan?" Takashi asked teasing causing Saeko to blushed lightly at the affectionate term. Saeko was about to say something to Takashi but was rudely interrupted as Takashi was knocked onto ground with a shaken Saya on him. Saya sobbed as held onto Takashi.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I should have listened to you! I was so sacred! I was so scared that something would happen to you! I'm sorry! I put everyone in danger because I couldn't stay strong! I'm sorry! Pleas-" Saya was interrupted when Takashi kissed her. Saya's eyes widened before they soften. Saya closed her eyes and returned the kiss. The rest of ladies except Yuki and Kyouki looked on with various degrees of jealousy and desire.

Takashi pulled back and looked into Saya's eyes and smiled softly. "I should have known better than to make you worry princess. Don't worry too much. All is good as no one is hurt."

Saya blushed under the loving gaze of her lover and leaned in for another kiss but froze when she heard a cough.

"*cough* It's good to see you being all lovey-dovey but I think we should deal with this crappy situation at the hand first" Rei said as she glared at Saya in jealousy. 'Damn! I wanted that first!'

"Eep!"

Saya got of Takashi and put her red face in her hands trying to hide it. God! She felt like a fool now.

Takashi just chuckled as he got up and dusted. The turned towards other and said.

"It's good to see that you are all safe. Come on. We have to go and secure a room. You have been fighting for your lives for the first time and it must be taxing. Lets go to the Recreation room. It's not that far plus it has as Air Conditioner, TV and more importantly Shower." The womens heads perked up as soon as shower was mentioned and they seem to gain their energy somewhat. Takashi begin walking ahead with the ladies following behind.

Today was a fucking pain and a hot shower will be very much appreciated.

Phew! Done! Sorry guys if you think the chapter is short but I tried to make it as long as I could without adding much unnecessary things. So the Z-Day has started and the story will get crispy from here on. Beware there will be gory action, use of vulgar language and spicy lemons in future updates.

I hope you liked the chapter! Please do comment if you liked it and even if you didn't because it helps me improve either way. Do point out if I have made mistakes in grammar or spellings and pointers about action sequences will be much appreciated because I not sure if I'm good at writing them.

And a note guys I may take a few days of because I'm out of ideas on the HOTD fic but it won't be for too long but in the mean time I'll post my Highschool DxD fanfic.

And just so you know the story is gonna be an OC centric multi-crossover fanfic. OC is gonna be the twin brother of Isabella Hyoudou (femIssei). Although I've said Isabella Hyoudou the name isn't solidified as of yet and your suggestions for a better or more creative name will be appreciated.

Thanks you guys and I love you a lot for all this love and support.

Stay tuned and see you soon~
