Vent out

"Of course, my dream has always to be with someone who can protect me."

"Then I guess I should train harder." Saeko joked smiling widely, "After all, you're my first date so you got to count for something."

"It's an honor to be your first, Saeko-san." Ryota realized that he accidentally phrased it weirdly looking at the bit shy Saeko, "Anyway, you should know about the traditions of a date, right?"

"What is it?"

"Well, I guess I have to teach you, I am your first after all," Ryota said with a slightly smug expression, "You see if a date goes really well and you want to see that person again you offer him a kiss."

Ryota was just joking around but he didn't expect Saeko to really comeover and kiss his cheeks, "So, see you again?"

Ryota robotically nodded looking at Saeko who rushed inside her home. "I guess that's what you call a good date. At least, this time it didn't end with me nearly getting stabbed."

Unlike Ryota, Saeko had a darkened expression as she entered her home. She honestly did enjoy the date and she really likes how Ryota was as a person and felt he was quite interesting but she felt as if she didn't deserve love after all, if anyone knew her dark side they were sure to run away.

------------------------------------------------

"Where have you been?"

Like a jealous wife Marikawa complained looking pissed.

"I was on a date with Saeko-san." Ryota simply said as he sat on the sofa with her.

"You aren't even going to lie?"

"What's the point?" Ryota shrugged, "And besides looking at you, you already knew didn't you?"

"You really are a pervert, huh."

"Says, the girl dressed in that short outfit." Ryota showed a sudden smug smile, "Are you jealous? You are, aren't you?"

"Be jealous of a kid's date, yeah right!" Marikawa snorted but Ryota suddenly came forward grabbing her as he began kissing her straight away.

Marikawa had no resistance at all, as she climbed on to his lap kissing him deeply as their tongue intertwined with each other. Ryota slowly made his way towards her breast slowly giving her several kisses as he pulled open her shirt letting those bad boys flung out in the open. Without much though the began feeling each other's body deeply, as only after hours did they finally let go. They had pretty much done so everything except cross that one final line, but they both knew it wasn't really the best of the timing to do so yet.

"You know letting me stay in your house and doing such sexual things with me, people might consider you a bit perverted sensei." Ryota whispered into her ears making her shiver in his arms, "Oh you like me calling you sensei, huh."

"Ryota."

"Don't worry, I won't force you to it." Ryota said as he kissed her neck and with one hand grabbing her breast, "But today I want to feel your body sensei."

With countless moans living the room, both Ryota and Marikawa still had their pants on but as if performing a weird play, they were just letting it build-up.

"So have you found a way to let go of things?" Marikawa asked cuddling with Ryota who looked as if he didn't know what she was talking about, "Stop acting, you know what I mean."

"I guess not." Ryota said sighing, "It's not like these things are completely always on my mind but it's something more of a passive thing. I've noticed when I am with you, Akane, Miyuki and even Saeko-san that I don't really care about such things, it's only when I am alone that it starts affecting me."

"So playing around with girl's heart gives you a temporary sense of joy, huh!" Marikawa thought for a while, "But you still need to learn how to let it out all at once, remember forgetting things temporarily won't help in the long run."

"I'll make sure of that." Ryota nodded caressing Marikawa's back until she fell asleep. 'Something to vent it out... I think I know just what to do.'

----------------------------------------

It was around 11 when Ryota woke up. He noticed that Marikawa had already left for school and he was just alone in the bed.

"Guess, it's time to go scouting at the school, again," Ryota said to himself as he began heading out towards the school, which was a bit far away but it wasn't like he had anything else to do so getting a walk was just benefit on his side.

Ryota casually walked around like usual looking around the place, as he was passing by he noticed that the streets had fewer and fewer people in them than usual and after a point, it was completely empty. He had been here before a few times but it was never so quite before as a heavy feeling crept up in his heart.

He kept walking when he suddenly noticed red splatter on the wall next to his, getting closer it was definitely blood. He was examining the scene when he felt something creep up behind him.

Not even turning back, a golden ripple formed behind his back from which a black katana just shot through the zombie's head, completely pinning it to the wall on the opposite end.

"I guess, it's time." Ryota turned around and picked up his katana from the zombie's head activating his Mystic eyes. The zombie slumped on the ground surely dead as Ryota took deep breaths trying to console himself that it was a dead being but on the inside, he wasn't terrified of his first kill at all.

Ryota was in a dilemma if he should go back to Marikawa's place and get on with the Humvee and weapons but then again he had reached quite far already and the school was a closer destination from where he was. Normally, it would have played it just like it supposed to, all of them will eventually go to her friend's place but with him being involved he was afraid of accidents and that one specific creepy bastard kept popping in his mind.

"Fuck this shit!" Ryota complained making a run for the school. The whole week he had been expecting an apocalypse and nothing happened but just when was getting a bit relaxed the apocalypse had to pop through.

-------------------------------------------------

The outbreak had already begun in the school and all of the original six had already gathered in the teacher's office preparing to leave.

"After we check on our families, we'll have to agree on someplace to escape to, in any case we won't survive if we act selfishly." Saeko said seriously, "We're a team, if we want to stay alive, we're going to have to act like one."

"I need to head back home too." Marikawa said, "Ryota still might not know about the situation, but as long as he stays there he should be safe."

"Ryota?" The glasses girl questioned, "Is he your boyfriend, Shizuka-sensei?"

"N-NO." Marikawa shook her head, "Just a friend, but I am concerned he might come to school as always."

"Wait are you talking about that Romeo-prince whatever it was?"

"Yeah! Guess he's still searching for her." Marikawa said pouting a little as she glanced as Saeko, 'Even though that liar said it was me!'

"If he is still alive, we'll definitely see him." The orange-haired girl said, "But for now we need to get out."

"Getting to the parking lot through the front entrance would be the quickest way." One of the guy said, "LET'S GO!!"
