Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: (Who the fuck are you...)

(Ouch...)

I winced slightly as I wiped the blood from my face, my body aching all over...

I slowly got to my feet as I gazed up into the red eyes of Udaues. He gave off another earth-shattering roar as he lunged toward me with his mouth wide open. I pushed off the ground causing the floor to crack as I dashed forward. My surroundings blurred past me as I raised a fist and slammed into the jaw of the Juggernaut. There was a loud SNAP! Followed by Udaues head snapping violently to the side. The momentum of his lunge causing him to smash into the ground killing a few unlucky zombies.

{Host the van is currently in danger.}

[It's surrounded by zombies!]

Cursing inwardly I dashed away from the stunned Udaues and ran toward the van containing everyone. Currently it was being surrounded by a large group of undead students the undead clawing at the windows. I could see that the door was open slightly as a pole came flying through the gap the tip, piercing the zombies, on the outside. I could feel a soft vibrate within my body, and I smiled.

"I guess this the right time as any..."

Reaching towards my chest I could feel my fingers sink into my chest, but instead of pain I felt a gentle 'heat' swarm over my fingers. Grasping something between my fingers I gave it a sharp yank and watched as a katana appeared from within my body. Not wasting the time to marvel at the blade I quickened my pace as the first few zombies turned to me. Grasping the handle with both hands, I swung my blade across, and watched as the first line of zombies were decapitated. My eyes widen slightly as I felt the blade go through the zombies with no resistance at all.

Watching the headless zombies fall I glanced briefly at my blade and smiled. The handle itself was dark red, with the wrapping a pure white. The guard was golden, and small engravings of a dragon was etched into the surface. The blade of the sword...that was something else. Their is a certain beauty to a blade that can't be describe with merely words and I'm currently gazing at such a blade. It was white...which is odd for a sword, but for some reason the white color of the blade seem to have alluring effect. As I gazed into the blade I could see it start to move, as if a gentle wave was within the blade itself.

[Atal!]

I quickly snapped out of my daze and swung my sword upwards as a zombie lunged toward me. The blade passed cleanly through the zombies jaw, and through the top of it's head. Watching the zombie fall to the ground I switched my gaze back to the mass of zombies. Raising my blade, I dove into the horde spinning my body as my blade went through the zombies with little resistance. Blood coated my arms as I swung my blade around me, and all I could see was a sea of grey skin and white eyes. Swiping my blade behind me I could hear a soft grunt followed by the sounds of a body falling.

"Wait! Wait for us!" Stabbing a zombie through the eye I turn my head to the side and saw a small group of students appear from within the school. Yanking my blade free I slashed a leg off another zombie and smashed my heel into its head causing it to explode. Watching the group come closer I peered behind them and could feel a frown appear on my face.

Shido...Koichi Shido...

I decapitated another zombie as the group ran past me, and towards the entrance of the van. As Shido ran past me I could see him peer at me for a second with a smile plastered on his face. I could feel my frown deepen as I gazed toward Udaues. He was currently shaking his massive head from side to side. Tearing my gaze away from the massive Juggernaut I made my way into the van and could hear the doors closed behind me.

"Drive Miss. Shizuka!"

"O-okay!" I could feel the van lurch forward as Shizuka slammed on the gas pedal. Sighing, I griped a bar and peered out the window toward Udaues. The Juggernaut was staring at our departure with his crimson eyes glowing. He gave off another roar before raising his hand, and smashing into the school. The school collapsed inwards as the Juggernaut continued it's assault on the school. I sighed again as I sat down on a seat resting my sword across my lap. Leaning my head back against the seat I closed my eyes, and concentrated on my body.

(How's my body?)

{Calculating....Various bones within host body are fractured as well as internal bleeding...Commencing Regeneration.}

[Are you okay Atal?]

I smiled at Teresa's concern, and replied, "Yes...I'm not going to die that easily." Feeling my smile grow as Teresa giggled softly within my head. It was suddenly interrupted by a hand placing itself onto my shoulder. I opened my right eye and gazed up at a smiling Shido.

"May I know your name?"

"....Atal."

Shido opened his yellow colored eyes behind his glasses as he said, "Are you perhaps the leader?" I raised an eyebrow and said, "No." Shido's smile grew as he said, "Then...if no one is willing...I should be the leader!" I frowned slightly as Shido yelled the last part next to me. (Don't fucking yell asshole!) I peered behind me to see Takashi frowning slightly along with Rei who was currently glaring daggers at Shido. Saya...well she had a frown as well...I mean she always seem to have one. Saeko was silent, but she kept her bokken against her shoulder as she stared out the window. Kohta was currently gazing around and smiled wryly as his gaze fell on me.

"Why...please do tell, should you be the leader?" I gazed over Saya who spoke and watched as Shido leaned down to her level. "Miss. Takagi...currently the world is in turmoil and society as we know is falling apart." I could feel my finger twitch on my blade as I saw Shido's gaze down lower.

[Leech.]

Saya frowned as she turn her body away from Shido who kept a smile on his face. Spinning on his heels he, he lifted his arms out saying, "So I should be the one to lead us! As a adult...it's my responsibility to lead you all into a safer place." A few of the students in the back clapped their hands, but I noticed one in particular who wasn't clapping. With short light orange hair held back with a hairband, and yellow colored eyes. She was Miku Yuuki, and one of the characters who people called a 'slut', but some speculate that it was due to something about Shido. I watched as she ignored Shido who kept glancing at her from time to time.

"No fucking way!"

I snapped my gaze away from Miku and toward a brown and yellow haired kid. With a well built figure, and pair of...slippers. He stood up with a frown on his face.

"I will not be part of a group with him!" I gazed back at the kid, and saw him pointing. I followed his finger, and suddenly realized something.

…..He's pointing at me?

I raised an eyebrow at the kid and said, "Who the fuck are you?"
