Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ The Mutated ❯ Inquisitive Solitude ( Chapter 2 )

Inquisitive Solitude

Your (color hair) blew against the coolness of your face. The lights flickered. You moved your fingers and then you slowly opened your eyelids. You quickly closed it again from the bright light that fluttered into your sight. As you adjusted to the light you slowly stood up and held your head. Apparently that wall gave you a headache.

You looked about your surroundings. You guessed you were stuck in a storage room where they kept food. The air was freezing! You went to the steel like door and opened it. What happened? You were confused. How long have you been out? You couldn't remember what happened to you but you did remember being thrown against the wall.

"Where is everyone? Shouldn't there be nurses or doctors roaming about the hospital?" You asked yourself. You continued to wander. You looked everywhere and found numerous blood stains and broken glass. What happened here? You found the exit and remembered this is where you entered from.

You pushed the double doors open. It was bright outside and no one seemed to be around. "I've been asleep for the whole night! I wonder where everyone is. How come no one is driving or walking about the streets?"

You shrugged and continued walking. You looked around you and still found no sign of anything alive. You saw car doors open and a bunch of things broken. You put your hands behind your head. Since no one seems to be here you can steal from stores. You shook your head. No you knew something was wrong.

A news paper blew on your face. You grabbed it and were about to throw it away when the headline caught your attention. You gasped as you looked on. How could something like this happen? Why would everyone evacuate the city? How come you were not told of this? They probably never found you knocked out in a hospital.

You decided to walk some more. There has to be someone left. You were only out the whole night. You were pretty sure that people would have not got this notice at night. Besides it would take forever for everyone to know that they had to evacuate. How long were you really out for?

You were confused. You have never seen the city so empty before. It was kind of scary. You thought of where to go and decided to head to your friends house. Maybe they're still around. That would take a couple of hours from you though, unless….You ran to the nearest car and found the keys in there. You grinned, perfect. You closed the door and drove off, going over the speed limit.

Now this was fun! No cops to tell you what to do. You could go as fast as you want now. Soon you came to your friend's house and screeched the car to a halt. You got out and knocked at the door. It opened. You shrugged and walked in. You gasped. Everything was a disaster! You went up stairs and went to their bedroom.

You sighed as you saw your friend sitting in a chair with their back turned to you. "Thank god I found you. Hey do you know what the hell is going on here? What is the date? Hello……..are you going to ans……..Oh my god!" You shouted as you touched your friends shoulder. You looked at your hand. It was stained with blood. You heard a growl coming from your friend. You backed up slowly.

That's when you noticed your friend's hand missing and the blood that decorated the room. Your heart thumped. What the hell happened? "You aren't my friend. What the hell are you!?" You said as you backed out of the room. The thing stood up from the chair and with incredible speed, launched at you. You quickly moved out of the way as the thing fell to down the stairs.

You tried to calm yourself down but your heart would not stop beating rapidly. A vision flashed before your eyes.

The hospital hallways……lights flickering……a scream and something growling inhumanly, the lights going out and pure darkness. You opening a door and……

Now you remember you heard something unusual in the hospital! You went to check it out because of the screaming you heard. You tried to remember what else happened, but it seemed to be a blur to you. You looked down the stairs. It was hideous. That thing was unnaturally pale and had blood stains that decorated it from head to toe. You looked at its missing hand. The skin on the thing seemed to be coming off as well. You felt groused out and scared.

Did that thing try to kill you? You wanted to get the hell out of the house. You slowly descended down the stairs. You never looked away from that thing. You remember seeing things like this on movies but this was just too much! It was like attack of the killer zombies or something like that. Or this could be just a freak people left behind. You liked the latter part but knew it was way off from whatever the hell happened to this city.

You finally reached the bottom of the stairs. You stepped over the thing. You sighed when nothing happened. You quickly ran out of the house. You ran up to the car. You opened the door. Suddenly you heard running and growling. You were about to hop in the car when you were bombarded with two people. You looked at them as you lay on the floor. They looked exactly the same as that other thing back there!

They growled at you and were about to bite you when you pushed them off. You stood up as the two people rushed back at you. You jumped and kicked them in the head. You landed as they got back up. One of them jumped behind you as the one in front of you rushed forward. You grabbed the one behind you and quickly twisted its neck as you punched the other one in the face.

You quickly knocked it to the ground and kneed it on the neck. You saw that none of them made a move to get up. You were still freaked out. What the hell are they? Are there really more of them? You hoped not. You were happy that you took those self defense classes. You heard some more growls. You hopped into the car and stepped on the gas.

You had no idea where you would go but hell as long as it's away from here. "Holy shit those bastards can sure run fast." You muttered. Your heart was back to beating rapidly. You couldn't help it. You were scared. Whatever those things were, they were trying to eat you and they would not stop.

You looked behind you and saw a bunch of them. You heard a thump and looked to the front. "Shit!" You screamed as you saw the zombie thing on top of your car. It smashed the window with its hand. You swerved the car and crashed into another car.

You lay against the wheel. You slowly put your head up. That crash kind of made you dizzy. You opened the door. You fell out of the car. "Ah, shit…" You said weakly. You then stood up and tried to run as you saw those things coming at you at an incredible speed. You ran as fast as you could. Apparently the one on your car died.

You looked around the city frantically. You were trying to see if you could find a gun or something to protect yourself because you knew you wouldn't be able to outrun them. You spotted a gun store and headed in their. You saw no guns in there except for a shot gun. You grabbed it and ran out of the store. You checked to see if it had ammo in it. It did.

One of them appeared in front of you as you shot at it. They went down. Finally something to protect your ass! There was a lot up ahead. Is the whole city filled with this zombie like people? You shot them all down. You stopped suddenly out of breath. Apparently it was starting to get close to night time because the sun was setting.

You were sure none of those things were behind you. You rested. You were all alone in a city full of zombies that craved your flesh. You were confused and alone.

Suddenly you were hit. You fell to the ground. Your shot gun slid away from you. You quickly reached for it as the zombie neared you. You kicked it as it fell back. You successfully grabbed your gun. The zombie attacked you again but you evaded it and tried to shoot at it. Your gun was apparently out of ammo. "Damn."

You whacked the zombie on the head and twirled the long gun around as you chucked it at the zombie. Blood came out and splattered to the ground. You did a front flip and kicked it back on the head with your two feet. You landed on its stomach. You looked around you and found an axe. You went for it. You were about to grab it when you saw tons of zombies around you.

You were frozen. You couldn't die like this. Getting hit by a car would be a much better death then being picked into bits. They all came rushing at you as you ran. Here you are running from all these freaks that want to eat you and you don't have a weapon to defend yourself. Gosh, what an extremely bad day!

You were about to pass the alley way when you felt a hand pull your arm. You were now in the alley way. You were about to punch whoever or whatever pulled you in there when you saw the person cover your mouth. You stayed remarkably still. You looked at the person more closely. It was a guy with black spiky hair and he wore all black. His baggy black shirt was kind of ripped.

He was staring at you with his hand still covering your mouth. You heard the zombies coming. They ran right pass you. A couple of minutes passed by as the guy released his hand from your mouth. Why did he look familiar? "They're gone now. Follow me and don't slow down." The guy muttered to you.

He started walking out of the alley as did you. You followed him. "What the hell is going on?" You asked abruptly. You wanted to know. He gave you a weird look. "You're dumber than you look…baka."

"You see I barely just woke up and……….." You said ignoring his insult. He turned back in front of him. You could only see his back. "Shut up baka onna. They'll hear you." He warned you. You kept your voice down. "What exactly happened to those things?"

"Two weeks ago some doctors were doing some crazy experiments on the dead. Something happened and their experiments went wrong. They made the dead mutate into some mindless eating zombies. Then people started to evacuate the city. None of them ever made it out. They were all bit by those mutated people. One bite and you turn into one of them. One of the people who had the cure was named Akira. He was a drug lord. Two weeks ago he was in jail until he escaped. I don't know if he is even alive…" he told you. You remembered that night where you captured Akira.

You studied the strange guy more closely. You looked at the side of his face as he looked around. His black spiky hair that had a white starburst in the middle framed his face. Crimson eyes darted from each corner as you both continued walking. You looked at his clothes. His baggy black shirt was ripped around the neck. His baggy jeans dragged on the floor causing the bottom to rip slightly. His black boots were muddy and very dirty. You looked more closely at his side and saw a katana in its sheath. You were about to question about the katana but thought better of it.

He would have made some snide remark about how stupid that question would sound in a time like this with the living dead after human blood, well only the living. You wanted to laugh at your whole predicament. It was like one crazy dream that wouldn't allow you to awake, but this was too real to be a dream. Even though it seemed so bizarre it was real.

Your attention turned back to him. He was looking right at you as he scowled and mumbled about weak onnas are a nuisance. Your blood boiled but you kept your anger under wraps, for now. You looked more closely at his face. He was really handsome but a bastard. You mentally slapped yourself across the face. You should not be thinking things like that in a time like this. He probably won't even be interested in you.

You noticed a white bandana across his fore head. He noticed you staring at him intensely and glared. You blushed slightly at being caught. You quickly turned away and diverted your attention to the sky. Who is he? You asked yourself. The clouds in the sky covered the sun. You looked at Hiei as his features darkened. You gasped.

Wait was he the guy that you saw in the warehouse? He was! He said that it was all two weeks ago! You were out for two weeks! All you did was bang your head against the wall. How the hell do you get knocked out for two weeks? "I knew you looked familiar!" You said.

He looked back at you. "What the hell are you talking about onna?"

"I met you in Akira's warehouse. It was yesterday night or as you said two weeks ago." You said. He seemed to be in thought. You sighed. "Hn……." You wanted to laugh at his lack of words but then thought of what was happening. "I never did get your name." You said.

He didn't say anything. You sighed. "Why were you there anyway? You told me you were there for something else. Oh wait duh, you were after Akira to stop him and get the cure. But how did you know about people being mutated into mindless zombies?" You said. You knew you were talking too much and getting on his nerves but those questions burned in your mind and were just begging to be answered.

"Onna quiet!" He ordered sternly. A scowl came upon his face as the both of you walked quietly through the empty city. You sighed and glared daggers at the back of his head. You wanted some answers. You heard something behind you but dismissed it as the wind. You looked at the strange guy again. He didn't seem worried. You needed to know what the hell happened in this city.

"…What are you hiding? Why do you not want me to know your name?" You asked him quietly. He slowly cocked his head at you. He glared.

He suddenly turned around and pointed his gun at you. You froze. What now?

A/N: Thank you for everyone who reviewed. Sorry if this was very short. I was in a rush to get this out.
