Tenno Fugao's Story

Tenno walked out of the locker room only to see Sam walking out the door, Lazarus with some girl with him. He walked over to them.

"Hey Lazarus I see you got someone back." He turned to her and politely asked "Excuse me but your injured, may I treat those wounds?"

"Dammit." Tenno curesed as he tried to call his dad. It figured that the barrier would block out his cell phone's calls. It would have been nice to have at least 20 or so reinforcements for backup. He dropped the question to the girl because of her glare that she gave him. "Well come see one of us if you want to be patched up." he told her.

Walking over to the doors he took a look outside. He wondered what the others might be doing, hoping they were OK. "Little bit hungry. Maybe I'll hit the cafeteria when they get back." he said to himself.

"So you gotta tell me. What's the deal with you and Takeo? You two are like Zombie Hunters right? That an elective I never heard about?"

Airi laughed. "Ya know, I was waiting for one of you to ask this. Me and Ku-ku were born into this... Guild... We're called the Blood Rose. We trained from sun up to late midnight. It was never easy but killing things that hurt others, it's a good business." she adjusted her bag, her bare shoulders freezing with nothing but her bra strap covering it.

"Anyways," she said opening the gym door and walking in. "We're home!" she called before skipping into the locker rooms and dropping the bag.

"Little bit hungry. Maybe I'll hit the cafeteria when they get back."

"No need to, Ten-ten! I've got snacks! And beer! What kinda high school sells beer to kids..? Meh.." she looked around and grabbed Kukai's jacket from her "bed". She pulled it on and buttoned it up. "So, who's hungry?"

"Food already? You guys were sure busy." he said as he grabbed an apple out of the bag. "So whats the plan on getting the barrier down?" If that was taken down then the zombies could be easily annihilated by the help that would eventually come. "Oh and Sam...who's that girl that Lazarus brought with him?"

When Aika's hand was done being tended by Tenno, he flexed his fingers all in one go to test it. Expectantly, he winced, but the pain was definitely dulled and there was little chance of him aggravating it once more. Before he could even thank the teen, Tenno had gone off somewhere else.

(Just gonna skip through some of the stuff here to avoid confusion, since everyone's moved on rather quickly.)

It seemed like many of the members from the original group were still alive, but they had a new addition to the team, a female survivor who seemed to be friends with Laz. Aika overheard the conversation between Sam and Airi, which immediately perked his interest.

"We're called the Blood Rose. "

Aika's head snapped straight towards the location of Airi's voice. Blood Rose...? He recalled reading a name similar to that from books that involved hidden literature and history. It couldn't be...? He removed his specs and stared at the girl with focused, red eyes. Any person who 'knew' that Aika required his 'corrective spectacles' would find out the fact that he didn't actually need them at all.

"...The Blood Rose Guild you're talking about...it couldn't have possibly been the one involved in the huge incident way back in Africa...an incident that was wiped out from the records and archives. An incident that involved...these things? " he asked, blurting out things without thinking, curiosity overcoming his caution.

By the time he realized, Aika shoved his spectacles back onto his nose.

"A-ah! I might've been mistaken, it's not like I've been reading historic events that were wiped from records. " Aika's eyes widened with shock at what he had just said. He mentally slapped himself for letting panic get to him. Shoot!

Airi heard all the noise and finished up quickly. She grabbed her shorts and shirt before putting it all back on and laughing as Aika ran into a locker. She walked over and pulled his specs off before giving him a big grin.

"You can join us then. If Kukai's alright with that... We are co-leaders now..." she stuck the specs on her own face and fell backwards on her butt. "By the gods! How do you function with these on?! I can't get up!" she whined, flailing her arms around. She couldn't really. If she did, she'd fall again. "Ow, my butt..." she managed to get the specs off before shakily standing and handing them back to him.

"You, Aika, are amazing, if you can function normally with those on... Though, once you join us, they're going right..? Please say yes..." she leaned on the locker, still dizzy from that. Bandit merely snorted at her making her flip the bird at the cat, who merely snorted again.

"Come say it to my face, dumb bitch cat..." Bandit merely tripped her when she went to walk and snorted in her face. "Ass..."

If Lazarus was anything right now, it'd be bored. And if Mokou was anything right now, it'd be annoyed.

"Dammit. Why would that Yakuza fucker even try and tend my wounds? Did he honestly think I'd let him?".

"He was just trying to be nice, Mokou. Calm down and let him fix ya up".

"N-No! He's a Yakuza! I HATE the Yakuza! Even more than the Triads!".

"So you hate almost every criminal organisation, here in Japan and everywhere else?".

"If I could, I'd murder all of them, even the small-fry's".

Lazarus looked down, his face grave.

'She knows what I did, but not why I did it'.

Lazarus sighed, and took a few steps towards the door, but he didn't get very far before Mokou propped herself up on her arm and glared at him. "Where the hell are you going?".

"I need some air".

"O-Okay... then".



Lazarus stood outside the Gym, looking out over the oval. His cigarette tasted like crap for some reason, and he sighed. He laughed lightly and spoke: "Oh boy, wait until she finds out why I did what I did... Ugh, she's gonna wanna kill me too". He grinned as he took another drag of his smoke, and he dropped it on the ground, stomping on it and crushing it into oblivion. "I honestly don't mind this situation. A Sadist like me... in a School filled with zombies? What do you think's gonna happen? HAHAHAAA!".

He grinned even wider and took in the fact that he was probably the only person in the group that had been looking forward to this, loved the feel of blood on him, the sight of someone being cleaved in half, the pained screams of his opponents and victims. Yep, he was a sadist alright. But....

'But...'

"But there are some people I wouldn't even think of hurting".

Lazarus closed his eyes, and leaned back on the glass, his iPod playing.

"Silver Forest - Sadistic Love. Pretty darn ironic thing to have on, eh Shuffle?".



"Okay, seriously? Where did he go, home?".

Mokou's voiced flowed out from her mouth as she sat up, her eyes shooting around the room, taking everything in, and she realised the one person she actually knew, wasn't there. Well, she knew Tenno, she just had a major dislike for him. She sat up, flinging her legs over the table, and stood.

"He'll come back inside later... Yeah, he's not gonna ditch us. Heh". She rubbed her forehead and took a step, grimacing slightly. She realised that Laz wasn't lying when he said she'd been fucked up by that clawed thing. She took a few more steps adjusting to the pain, and she eventually arrived at Tenno. She grabbed him by the collar quickly, and slammed him into the wall. "You think that being nice and playing medic's gonna erase all the shit you Yakuza scum have done!? Huh!? You truly, sincerely, sicken me. You all do, and.... Why am I explaining myself to you, scumbag".

She would've punched him right then and there, but she felt the soft tap of something on her shoulder. She turned and was greeted by Lazarus, who was giving her a 'You've got to be fucking kidding me' look. She dropped Tenno and stormed off, angrily announcing that she was taking a shower and borrowing some of Lazarus' clothes. The latter sighed and grinned.

"Yeah, she really hates the Yakuza, so she's gonna be a tough cookie to speak to on your part.... She has a good reason to hate them though, but it isn't for me to tell ya, Tenno".

Hearing this Tenno perked up a bit. "Whats this about your group? Are you accepting recruits?" Tenno asked Airi. He was curious to know because it sounded like the others were in, he didn't want to be left out. Some experience in this sort of stuff would be useful for a break from his family.

Airi made a noise of surprise. "You're kiddin' me!? Those devil thing made your eyesight better? I would ask for a pair but I don't think my body would agree with me... I'd be covered in bruises and that's just at school..." she pouted before she grabbed her mp3player from her pile of clothes and turned it up, a song, One of Repetition, came out. It was soft and calm, unlike the singer. Anyone who's heard Airi would recognize her voice as the singer. The song was beautiful but the sound of Airi's voice made it sound, better...

"Oh, shit..! Not now!" she rushed to turn it off, blushing. She hated when other people heard her sing. She held the little device close and sighed as the song ended, allowing her to turn it back up at a reasonable volume. "Sorry guys, that song's a bit... Uh... Personal to my heart..."

Mokou sighed as the warm water washed over her. She would've loved to just have been able to take the day off, but she came to school specifically to give Lazarus a present, since it was one of those 'I'm generous so I feel like giving someone something' days. She smirked as she remembered what she'd gotten him, and she turned the water off. She draped a towel around herself and left the showers, moving over to Lazarus' locker, opening it and sighing.

"Laz! I told ya to keep some of my spares in your locker!".

Lazarus turned and stifled a laugh. "She actually thought I'd do that?".

Lazarus grinned and went over to his friend, passing her and continuing to her locker, which he opened with a replicated key. "Yeah, I have a habit of making replicas, so here, catch". He threw the Key to Mokou, knowing that she'd probably left hers at home. She caught it and scowled. "You're so unreliable sometimes, but I have a gift for you too. Here, put these on!".

Lazarus just glared.



Lazarus walked back out to the group, his cheeks slightly red and his eyes filled with anger. "I'm gonna kill you for this, woman". Mokou just grinned, and announced to the group.

"This here, is Lazarus J. Inaba, and now he's even more of a rabbit with these Rabbit ears I got him! Hooray!". Mokou held her hand over her mouth to stop herself from bursting out laughing, and laughed even harder when Laz gave her the bird. His rabbit ears bounced as he turned his head and glared.

"Yep, definitely gonna kill you".

"What the hell." Tenno said as that new girl left. Why did she hate the Yakuza so much? He wanted to know why and put this petty unknown hate aside until this whole situation was done. He made sure his right hand was on his gun and left on his knife when he started to walk off. If she tried to come at her he'd pin, full nelson then go for a full body lock until she listened to reason. If all else failed he might have to resort to lethal violence to force her to listen. Hopefully it wouldn't come to that.

Tenno walked to where Lazarus and the girl were to speak to them 5 meters away. "Hey whats with all the hostility here? What did I ever do to you?" he asked her with an annoyed tone. He still had his gun, if she tried to take it she'd die trying.

"Hey whats with all the hostility here? What did I ever do to you?". Tenno's tone pissed Mokou off, and she turned instantly and glared. "Oh, I'll show you exactly what you did, fuckhead". With that, Mokou slipped her top down slightly, showcasing the Yakuza sigil that had been burned into her skin. She growled at Tenno, eyes sparking dangerously. "My brother, my father and one of my friends are all dead because of the Yakuza, and since you're Yakuza, I hate you. That's what you've done. You ruined my hopes of living a good life, and forced me into hatred THAT's what you've done!". She drew back her fist in anger, her lips drawn back in a snarl, and she flung her fist forward, aiming straight at Tenno's ja- "Cut it out, Mokou". The hand grabbed her arm and spun her around, facing away from Tenno. Lazarus sighed. "It would help if you weren't aiming your goddamn gun at her, idiot. Put it down, you're making a bad impression". By this time, Mokou had spun around, the fire in her eyes blazing brighter than Lazarus had ever seen before. She looked down, and growled. "Bastard...". She turned and whacked Lazarus across the face, a gesture that he barely dodged, but her fist still grazed his chin. She glared right at him and shouted. "JUST WHO'S GODDAMN SIDE ARE YOU ON, HUH!?". She was about to storm off when Lazarus caught her arm.

"Listen to me, dumbass. How about you can up your fucking feelings for a hour or two, before you end up getting us all killed with you bitchy attitude. In case you haven't noticed, there's zombies outside, and now there's fucking demons too! So just keep a lid on your hate for a while, dammit". Lazarus spoke with a tone that demanded authority, and Mokou's mouth dropped open. Lazarus realised his mistake and covered it with words. "My Mother.... my real mother... told me that I should only speak like that when I had to, and this is one of those times". Mokou's mouth moved, but nothing came out. She swallowed and then started again. "Are you really alright? You seem..... stressed. Badly stressed".

Lazarus just ignored her, pulling out a cigarette and walking over to Airi. "Hey, just wondering if you knew, but would the forcefield penetrate the ground? Or would we be able to go under it?".

"Hey, just wondering if you knew, but would the forcefield penetrate the ground? Or would we be able to go under it?"

Airi thought about it. "Well, since the person summoned Behemoths and Rakes, that'd be a no we can't dig. In order to summon either you'd need a full barrier. I think this one intents to kill everyone here..." she leaned against the lockers. "I really wanna kill this bastard now..." she messed with the volume on her mp3player before sighing. "Look, it's late... Everyone head to bed. I'll take first watch." when only a few people moved, she poked Bandit. "That's an order from your leader in this shit. Go. Fucking. Rest." she ran a hand through her hair and stood.

She moved to the door and sat, pulling the jacket around her more. Her hand went around her dog tags and she squeezed them. It had been a while since she had to use that phrase. She only hoped she'd be able to get everyone out of this alive or she'd die trying.

Tenno put his gun away. "A Triad huh? Not a bright one either if she was willing to charge a gun point blank." Tenno thought to himself. His family had respected the Triads to begin with for their bravery. They never backed down even when the odds were stacked against them, though that was probably why they lost the war.

Tenno walked into the locker room to grab his things and stuff them into a backpack that he found in a locker. Coming out he saw the two talking to Airi, at this Tenno started to eye at Mokou. She looked pretty beat up with a wound in her stomach plus he thought she might have some broken ribs by the way she was walking. It didn't matter whether or not they were even neutral to each other, if she didn't get treatment soon there could be a chance of infection. That always meant trouble.

Walking up to them he caught on to what Lazarus was saying." Hold on." he told Airi "Look Mokou..." he trailed off to think "I'm sorry that people important to you were killed in that war and you can blame me for all of it if you want. But if you don't get treated soon things could get messy. How about this. If you let me patch you up, then I'll let you take a free swing at me. Is it a deal?"

Lazarus swore, and hit his Bat on the ground. He rubbed his forehead and turned to Mokou. "Yes, I happen to be stressed, and your bitchiness ain't helping at all". He looked at Tenno and grinned. "Heh, I heard about that War, but Mokou hates the Triads almost as much as the Yakuza".

Mokou turned to face Tenno, unaware of what he was talking about. "What war? My Family wasn't associated with any Gangs. Your goddamn thugs came and killed my family for no reason". Mokou glared at Tenno even more, but finally she sighed. "Fine, but it's two hits, alright?".

After two punches from Mokou and Tenno began. He took out his whiskey and poured to over her stomach to clean the wound, the he then cracked the gunpowder from his bullets over it. "The saltpeter will help close the wound." he told her as he washed it away with more whiskey. He took strips of fabric from shirts to wrap over it into two layer, applying pressure to it two help stop any potential bleeding reactions. Examining her chest Tenno said "at least your ribs only have an incomplete fracture" as he began to wrap 5 layers of cloth tightly around her chest to hold it firm in place.

"Now for the other stuff you just need to rest" he told her. "By the way" Tenno continued "As far as what war, there was a large Yakuza-Triad war in Japan when the Triads tried to set up shop in Tokyo. Trust me if you hate some rogue Yakuza then you would hate a lawful Triad even more. They were annihilated but it cost us good men. As far as your family goes, it's illegal to attack civilians. If you ever want to tell me about their decriptions including tattoos then I could find them when we're done here and they would answer for it. Who knows? They could even be charged with the wheel. But I see no reason why we can't be even neutral towards each other? My great grandfather died at Midway but I don't hate Sam for it because he wasn't the one who did it. So I hope we be allies in this struggle?" he told her with a smile on his face and holding out his hand for a handshake

Tenno saw Mokou's hesitation to accept his peace terms. "It's OK. You can think about, there's no rush" he told her.

He walked to where Airi was for some questions. He sat down next to her, looking forward said "So who are you really? I don't mean zombie hunter or soldier or a student. I mean what do you like? Hobbies, movies, what your family's like? Then I'll tell you the same." He smiled at how that sounded so he began to explain "You see my friend Satou and I did this with other Yakuza when they were injured after a fight. It helped take the stress of knowing its not OK off. I know this is a different sort of situation, but I just want to take my mind off the zombies before I go to sleep."

Airi looked up from her dogtags to look at Tenno. He came over quite randomly. She sighed and shook her head. Somethings never changed. Her old team didn't sleep until she had.

"So who are you really? I don't mean zombie hunter or soldier or a student. I mean what do you like? Hobbies, movies, what your family's like? Then I'll tell you the same."

Airi raised an eyebrow at him but let him continue.

"You see my friend Satou and I did this with other Yakuza when they were injured after a fight. It helped take the stress of knowing its not OK off. I know this is a different sort of situation, but I just want to take my mind off the zombies before I go to sleep."

"Ah, I see... Well, why don't we make it a game? It's called 2 truths, 1 lie. I'll say three things about myself, one isn't true. You guess which one is the lie. Then it's your turn." she smiled and turned to Sam. "Hey, Sam! Come play with us?" she called over to him. She smiled at Kukai. "Yo, you up for a game of 2 truths, 1 lie?" then leaned on the wall. "We played this during missions with new recruits. A good way to get your mind off the Hoard and it allows you to get to know everyone. So, everyone up for it?"

"OK I'll start." Tenno began saying trying to think of past events.

1st. "I met with the Dalai Lama on a vacation once."

2nd. "I took a trip to Shanghai"

3rd. "I've met the Pope"

"What is truth, what is a lie"

(OOC: Sorry about the late reply, but I've been working on T7C's OOC Stuff for a while and I wanted to finish it asap)



Mokou would've shaken Tenno's hand, but he'd already walked off before she could. She grumbled to herself and went over to where he and the others were currently sitting, shuffling awkwardly. "Listen, Tenno. I'll have your back until all of this is over, but when we're out of here, don't expect me to stop beating up any Yakuza scum I find, alright? You might even be on my hitlist too, so don't piss me off. Oh.... and thanks, I guess". Mokou coughed and turned away, making sure to avoid contact. Lazarus snickered at this and nudged her with his foot. "Aww, did you like it when he fixed your wounds, eh Mokou?". He snickered again as Mokou gave him an 'I will murder you. Brutally' look, and this only served to make him laugh harder. He looked at the others, blinking a few times.

"Who else wants a try?".

"Count me out for this one, Tenno". Mokou sighed and sat down on the table she'd been laying on earlier, stating that she'd be going back to sleep to try and see if she'd feel better when she woke up. Lazarus nodded, and said "Sweet dreams, 'Princess'". Apparently, Mokou was capable of ignoring his mocking tone, and simply shut her eyes. Lazarus wiggled a tiny bit to try and get comfier where he was, but only succeeded in making himself look weird. He grinned and asked. "Anyone got anything to drink? I could go for something right now".
