Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: (Kor....)

At this moment I'm confused, excited, but very confused. I'm walking down a long hallway with Shizuka Marikawa standing to my right a smile on her face. She was somewhat tall with waist-length blonde hair, and sparkling hazel-colored eyes. She was wearing a white dress shirt with a brown skirt, which in my opinion, was doing a terrible job hiding all the 'bouncy' eye candy that was currently targeting me with each bounce. On my left was Saeko Busujima, she was rather tall, with shiny thigh-length straight purple hair. Her blue eyes were darting left to right searching for any unwanted tag along. She was currently wielding her {bokken} in both of her hands as she moved forward her feet barely making a noise.

"So what's your name?" I peered over at Shizuka who was looking up at me with a sparkle in her eyes. "Atal?" Shizuka pressed a finger to her lips as she said, "Where are you from?" I smiled and replied, "America." She smiled as well and said, "How old are you~?" I felt my heartbeat quicken hearing her voice and I gazed into her eyes to see something flash within them before turning normal again. "18." Shizuka smiled even more before she continued her questions.

"What's your favorite color?"

"Red."

"What's your hobbies?"

"Reading and Writing."

"What do you like to eat?"

"Anything."

"Do you have a girlfriend~?"

I raised an eyebrow at her last question and noticed that Saeko was peering at me as well. I shrugged and said, "No, are you two beautiful ladies interested?" Shizuka giggled softly and I could see Saeko smile as well. [You're already flirting with other women besides me...I feel betrayed.] I smiled and said, (Just wait for later.) I could feel a warmth spread throughout my body as Teresa replied, [I can't wait.] I chuckled, but as Shizuka was about to continue her 'interrogation' I could hear the sounds of someone screaming. I frowned slightly and watched as a few zombies appeared from doorways. They started shambling away from us and towards another classroom with its doors shut. "Miss. Saeko." She turned toward me and I said, "Can you watch Miss. Shizuka?"

"Mou~Call me Shizuka!" I sweatdropped at Shizuka's childish outburst and said, "Sorry, Shizuka." Shizuka's face beamed with happiness as a small blush appeared on her cheeks. I grinned, but not before hearing Saeko, "Me too." I turn my head to see her peering at me a smile appearing on her lips, I smiled wryly and said, "I understand Saeko." Saeko's smile grew until she gazed at me with her blue eyes and I couldn't help, but stare into them. "You know?" I said with a smile, "You have very beautiful eyes." Saeko's eyes widen slightly before she turned away the tips of her ears gaining a red hue. I chuckled and dashed forward towards the small group of zombies banging on the classroom door. Jumping through the air I raised my right leg and swung it towards the zombies. My legs burst through the first zombie's head and continued breaking a few necks and slamming one zombie girl across the floor until her face smashed against the wall. I rolled across the floor and did a low kick toward another zombie. There was a crack followed by the zombie falling face-first into the hard floor.

I spun on my hand and pushed myself onto my feet. Once my feet touched the ground I felt a hand grab onto my shoulder. I swung my elbow back and felt bones break, and the zombie's hand vanished from my shoulder. Turning my head I could see the zombie girl push herself from the wall and turn toward me. Her nose was bent at an angle with a few teeth missing from her mouth. I grimaced slightly, but instead of continuing to gaze I swung my foot forward and smashed her head against the wall. Wiping my foot against the floor to get the blood from the bottom of my shoe I motioned for Saeko and Shizuka to come. Instead, I got an eyeful of a 'bouncy' Shizuka as she practically ran toward me and grab onto my arm. I raised an eyebrow and looked up at Saeko she was slower, but I felt a shiver go down my spine as her smile grew and a dangerous glint flashed within her eyes.

[She's scary?] I nodded my head and turned my head toward the classroom door. It was open slightly and a kid with a pair of glasses peered through the door at us. I smiled at him and said, "Hello, and who might you be?" The guy smiled wryly as he fixed his glasses and said, "I'm Hirano...Kohta Hirano!" Kohta was a short overweight kid with brown eyes behind a pair of glasses, and shoulder-length spiky black hair. "Who is it!" My smile grew even more as I saw a tornado of pink pigtails smack Kohta across the face. Kohta fell

to the ground and smile wryly as he said, "That hurt Saya."

I peered down at the Saya who was also gazing up at me. She had bright orange-colored eyes with long pink hair, tied into two ponytails on the sides of her head. She frowned at me and continued to bore holes into me with her eyes as she said, "Who are you?" I looked behind me before making a confused expression and pointed at myself, "Me?" Saya's frown deepened as she practically screamed, "Yes you idiot!" I smiled and replied, "My name is Atal, and who might you be?" Saya crossed her arms underneath her breast and said, "Saya Takagi." I raised my hand toward her and replied, "It's nice to meet you, Saya." Saya flinched slightly before saying, "Don't do that." I tilted my head confused, "What do you mean?" Her frown did go away as she said, "Don't use my first name." I smiled wryly as I apologized, "Sorry Miss. Takagi."

"Trying not to be rude or anything, but we have bogies at two o`clock!" I turn my head at Kohat's words and saw a group of zombies appear from around a corner. [That Saya girl was too loud.] I chuckled and replied, (That's just who she is.) I turned to Saeko to see her gazing at me, "Are you ready?" She smiled and nodded as she raised her bokken I smiled as well and dashed forward, but before we could take a few more steps something happened. I stopped as I could feel a chill go down my spine. The zombies froze as well and everything all around me seems to lose its color. I peered towards my left to Saeko frozen.

"Teresa?"

[He's near.]

"Who's near?"

"That would be me."

I froze and turned my head to see an old man standing a few feet away. Wearing a large black robe the old man had pale colored skin with a long white beard. His head was bald and a large tattoo of an eye covered his forehead. "It's nice to finally meet you." The old man said walking forward with the help of a wooden cane.

"Who are you?" I asked and the old man chuckled, "Forgive me...My name is Kor." I nodded my head and said, "My name is Atal, it's nice to meet you." Kor smiled and gave off another chuckle, "Nice manners young man, but the girl...not as much." Instantly Teresa snapped into existence beside me, but instead, she wrapped her arms around me and stuck her tongue out at the Kor. He smiled and said, "What might you be doing her T?" Teresa pouted and said, "My name is Teresa now." Kor raised an eyebrow, but kept his smile as he said, "So you might be wondering who I am, correct?" I nodded as Kor brought his eyes toward me. I could see that they were a dark grey, and looked to be almost lifeless. "Don't be an afraid child...my eyes won't harm you." I sighed as Kor realized my gaze and said, "Yes I would like to know." Kor nodded as he leaned against his cane and pointed at himself with an aged finger, "My name is Kor...and I am the god of this realm."
