Nozomi’s gaze fixated on the distraught Kaito engaging the zombie horde, blinded by rage as he swings mercilessly at the animated corpses, and all alone as the small group prepared to engulf him. An image of her best friend Akane flashed before her eyes, being devoured by a herd of undead, and a shiver crawled up her spine. The tiny brunette couldn’t take it anymore, she turned to Damon, “I’m sorry, I know he’s dangerous right now, but I can’t let him clear the way all alone.”<br/><br/>She wriggled her slender hand free of the male student’s grasp and sprinted toward the furious fellow baseball player. The girl’s timid features contorted in determination and her dancing eyes went cold. Nomi held her bat out in to her right with both hands, legs bending slightly as she scampered across the pavement and eyes narrowed on her target. Nozomi could see that one of the zombies was dangerously close to Kaito and his back was currently turned; she had to get to it before it had a chance to bite into his flesh and infect him. Luckily, the green eyed schoolgirl made it to the fiend moments before its sharky teeth lowered to her companions shoulder. Her lethal weapon slammed into its stomach, throwing the flesh munching abomination off of its feet and causing it to tumble clumsily to the ground. The speedy ball player then raised her bat high into the air and brought it down hungrily upon the Zombies melon. Warm blood splashed across her face and she smiled contentedly, then twirled about on her heels and slammed her trusty tool into the nearest undead monster’s battered head. As she scanned the remaining enemies Nomi saw their numbers were dwindling quickly, Kaito was viciously tearing them apart at a shocking rate, and soon enough the road to the bus would be clear. Nozomi turned around to face her comrade and commemorate him on a job well done, regretting her decision to come to his aide in that moment.<br/><br/>He decimated another zombie, issuing a fountain of brilliant red, and then Kaito whirled about with his bat poised to attack. Unbeknownst to him it was on a crash course for Nomi’s face. Seeing the incoming weapon Nozomi raised her arms, covering her face and screaming in fear, “KKKKAAAIIIITTTTTOOOO!”<br/>
