Chapter One

"H-Hibari-san..."
The young brunette teen known as Sawada Tsunayoshi went silent as he waited for a response, yet he never got one, causing him to flinch and grow more nervous before he peeked out the window, eyes going wide when he saw one of the students suddenly get torn to shreds, her flesh being devoured by rotten corpses, their eyes lifeless, cold and decomposing as he squeaked and looked away from it again.

In front of him was a raven haired sixteen year old, known as either the Disciplinary Head of Namimori Middle, or Hibari Kyoya. No one was allowed to call him by his first name, so either 'Hibari' or 'Hibari-san' had to fit. Anyway, said boy was standing at the locked door, tonfas in hand as he growled low in his throat.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi," the brunette flinched, but then looked up in a confused manner. "Assume we're the only ones not infected. I can't hear anyone's screams any more."
Tsuna gulped, but then nodded his head in understanding as the image of that girl getting ripped apart came to mind, causing him to pale. He wanted to puke badly... but obviously he couldn't He hadn't eaten for two days. They'd been trapped in here for two days and the food they had, which was two bentos, were now gone. Hibari was waiting to see if the zombies were yet smart enough to be able to tell where they were, but clearly not, since they hadn't tried to get to the door yet. Maybe it was because they were reasonably quiet and they were going by noise, or they were going by scent, since most people had flocked together in ridiculously loud crowds, making them easy prey.

Hibari then moved away from the door and then stared at the barricaded stairway, not sensing anything off.

"We're going to make a run for it," he said, ever so bluntly, as Tsuna squeaked once more. "Eventually, they will know we're in this room, and I can't take out a crowd. So we'll go by the staff stairway, which they shouldn't be able to easily, and we're going to get out this building and take some cover. Get some weapons and food. We're getting out of town."
Tsuna was in shock. Never had he heard Hibari Kyoya speak that much in one go. That was... about how much he would speak in a week.

"We can't go o-out there! They'll eat us alive!" he freaked out, but then Hibari hit on on the head lightly with a tonfa, silencing him.

"That's why I'm here herbivore. I'll take out the ones that try. We're going through the teachers staff rooms to get out anyway, since not many of those... things should be there," Tsuna blinked and then nodded, feeling jittery as Hibari pulled him onto his feet and went to the stairway, going down first with Tsuna following him.

A few gurgling sounds were heard, causing Hibari to raised his tonfas and go down the stairs slowly, pausing when the girl Tsuna saw get torn apart stand in front of him, the flesh ripped away from her jaw and seemingly eyeless. Blood pooled her hair and eyelashes and dribbled down her rotting cheeks as she limped forwards, one of her legs fully snapped. Her clothes were ripped to shreds and a putrid smell came from her- the smell of death. Hibari glared coldly at her before he lunged, forcing a tonfa down on her head and then cracking her skull before swinging his leg round, cracking her neck and sending her into a wall.

Tsuna had backed off, feeling more sick than before as Hibari made sure the corpse was now unmovable before he ran past, causing the brunette to jump and then run after him. He was soon at an exit door, finding Hibari giving the same treatment to other zombies quite easily before he ended up grabbing Tsuna's arm and pulling him out the building, running for both their lives. Tsuna wanted to help the people who were being cornered, but he knew there was nothing he could do...

He just wanted to break down and cry.

The first place they went to was a deserted police station; Tsuna becoming distraught when the first thing he saw were dead policemen getting chewed on. Hibari was quick to deal with them, having no choice but to kill the police members as well since they had been bitten before pulling their guns off them and grabbing their keys to go through their storage.

Tsuna followed nervously, only to find a padded jacket being thrown at him. He stared at it questioningly before he put it on himself, only to find that the material was extremely heavy and thick.

"You'll need some form of protection if something claws at you," Hibari said bluntly, slipping one on himself before going through the storage and then coming back out, guns in hand. Tsuna backed away from them. "You'll need one herbivore, unless you want to die and become one of them."
Tsuna shivered but then took the gun in hand, before he blinking at how heavy the metal item was. His fingers twitched as Hibari moved his hands to show where the gun holster was on his protective jacket and slipped it in hand.

"I'll take a bag of bullets. Look for anything edible. Make sure it has packaging on it to ensure the virus isn't inside it," Tsuna nodded and then walked away from Hibari, before he walked into a staff room and then paused, seeing two people there, looking through the fridges. He then squeaked when he had a gun pointed at his head.

"Oya~? A survivor?" Tsuna was blinking rapidly as a merry giggle sort of laugh went through the air. "Ne, Mukuro-kun, there's a survivor~."

A head popped up from under a table, showing a bloodied teen with pineapple hair staring at him, one red glowing bright crimson as Tsuna freaked out.

"He's been infected!" obviously Tsuna was going to assume that, since the teen, presumably called Mukuro, was covered in scrapes, bruises and bite marks- but was suddenly quietened when the male with white hair started laughing loudly.

"He was infected~," Tsuna backed off, reaching for his gun. "But Mukuro-kun has a special body seemingly~. He fought the virus off and is now immune to the zombies bites~."

Tsuna paused, and then looked at Mukuro, noting that one of his eyes were still a dark blue, and as he stood up, he was eating a bar of chocolate in a calm manner- as if nothing was even happening.

"Kufufu~," Mukuro then chuckled and then took another bite of chocolate. "I should consider myself lucky I suppose~. The virus just failed to work on me~."
Tsuna was about to speak, but then Hibari was behind him, growling low in his throat.

"Rokudo Mukuro. If we weren't in the middle of a walking dead infestation, I would bite you to death," Tsuna face-palmed. Biting was not on Tsuna's list of words to say right now... Hibari seemed to notice this as he stared scowling and sighed. "I can't kill you. If you can kill those things, then it would be pointless to kill someone who would probably not be able to fight the infection off while dead."

Mukuro chuckled and then looked at the white-haired male.

"Byakuran dear, you need to calm down~," sure enough, the other male wanted to break Hibari's neck right now, much to Tsuna's dismay, but was held back. "He can fight~."
Byakuran sighed and then pulled out a phone.

"All connections are down, but the one thing I do know is that if we get to Tokyo, there are people there who can help~. They also have an antiviral spray to prevent us from being turned~. Then they'll probably take Mukuro-kun's blood as a sample to see what can be made to prevent the virus on the rest of the survivors~," Byakuran hummed softly and the pulled food out the fridge. "I suppose we can help you two, but it doesn't mean I like you, Hibari Kyoya-kun."
"Like wise," Hibari's eyebrow twitched. Byakuran must only know his name because of Mukuro. Tsuna was no hiding his face as Hibari shut the door. "Get ready. We're leaving this place soon enough to find more survivors."
Mukuro chuckled, as did Byakuran. Tsuna just freaked out and bashed his head off a wall.

"Please tell me this is only a d-dream..."

A/N: The other chapters will be longer. I just wanted to see what kind of response I would get from writing this before I continued it.
