Thread: High School of the Dead: The Decent into Darkness Chronicles (Wingshadow and Mech)

Souji swung the bat one, two, three times, and three undead beasts hit the ground as he backed away trying to get some space. It was too much for him. One of the beasts lunged for him and Souji parried the movement with his bat avoiding a bit by just an inch. He wasn't strong enough to support the entire weight of the monster and fell on his back, losing the bat. Souji crawled back, kicking the ground as fast as he could, trying to make some distance before getting up. As soon as he did, two more of them charged at him, and he knew everything was over... And suddenly someone pulled him, and he felt himself flying. Falling would probably be a better description, but it felt like flying. He could feel the faint scent of perfume, and a soft body tightly wrapping around him, making him feel as safe as he could in that situation, until they hit the ground, someone breaking their fall. It didn't prevent him from complete harm, as the delinquent hit his left elbow against the ground full force, letting out a painful shriek. He quickly rolled off of them, shaking his head as he tried to recover from the fall. His elbow hurt like hell, and he supported it with his right hand. It was swelling, he could feel, but it didn't seemed to be broken. Just what the hell was Hitomi thinking? He heard Tomoki lecturing her for what she had done, and quickly came to his aid. Yeah! Are you out of your mind?! What the hell are you thinking, trying something like that? - Truth was he was happy she did it for him. He surely was, but more than that he was angry she just put herself in danger like that. He wanted to thank her. He wanted to hug her tightly and thank her for it, but he couldn't - I could've handled it! Next time don't go acting all on your own and doing meaningless stuff! - he said, completely dishonest with himself. He knew he would be dead if it was not for her. Somewhere in the back of his mind, the sensation of her body against his still lingered, strong. Souji sighed, watching the last of ther exchange and thought about helping her support Tomoki, but decided against it. They would need someone to fight those things on their way, and the other three were all but useless in that matter. With Tomoki hurt and Hitomi helping him, he was the only one that could fight. He nodded to Hitomi and followed the others out to the dead town... Chapter 2 Refuge from the Dead Souji walked ahead of them, still grabbing his wounded arm with the good one, pain radiating from the elbow to the rest of his body. He took a good look around once out of the school's yard. The street was in no better condition than inside it. The dead roamed around but they were fewer in numbers out there, more spreaded making it easier for them to make their way through. He heard Emiko and Kiriko groan upon seeing more of those dead bodies, but paid little attention to it. They were fine and could run if needed. His concern laid in Tomoki who couldn't run and Hitomi, who was supporting him. One of the creatures noticed them and made its way to them. Souji quietly kicked its knee, breaking it. The monster did not seemed to care, but his body fell anyway, no bone to support it. The next Kick came straight to the neck, smashing the throat against a Stop sign in the street, the bone cracking inside his body. Souji groaned in pain as he did, holding his arm tightier. It didn't take long for them to get to the first intersection, and all directions seemed to have the same fate waiting for them. They just needed to decide where to go from there. So... We got out of there, but... What do we do now? Do we have somewhere to go? - he asked Tomoki, assuming the guy was the leader, even if he didn't liked it. - We don't have a car or anything and I don't think we'll get very far like this...
