iZombie ( Chapter 18 )

     We got into the shop and saw Souske looking through the piles of trash. He looked up and I could see him crying, I walked over and he pushed me away. I looked back at Domine and he just shrugged his shoulders at me.

" What should I do, I'm sure I'm not fit for the job anymore since it was my fault." I cry
" Don't worry about it Kotaka, you're just new at the way we roll." Souske smiled
" Just listen to the boss and you'll be fine." Domine laughed and patted my back

     Dyske came in after a couple of minutes followed by Nanalai and Jackie. They helped clean the place up and made sure boss didn't cry again. I laughed after we finished most of our cleaning and finally turned back into my human form. Dyske did the same and hugged me from behind, he had wrapped his hands around my waist and placed his head on my left shoulder. I smiled at him and patted his head, he smiled back at me and let go to listen to what the boss had to say.

" Okay everyone, we finally cleaned up the shop. Now I want Domine, Red, and Dyske to go see where those fools went." He explained
" Yes sir, I will make sure they do their job." Domine laughed and was hit by Dyske a couple times
" I'll try my best to please you, sir," I reply.
" I'm counting on you Red, you're our best Zombie here with spirit enough to kill the whole company. Now make us happy," he pointed to the door and we all ran outside.

      We all turned into our zombie form once more and ran to the company building, which was on the other side of Korea. We zoomed past buildings and hid from police officers as we went, I was finally on my first job. We finally got to the company building and it was more then several thousand feet tall. I looked up and was in awe of the building, I saw domine use his orb and smashed the buildings 50th floor. It was really far up, but I guess we could jump that high. I jump up with Dyske and didn't realize I was right. We find a front desk, the people were all gone.

" I sense something." I say
" What is it kid." Domine asked
" Its here to kill us, it just got to the 10th floor. It's a Necromancer from down under." I say
" Damnit she's here." Dyske shouted
" Who is she." I asked
" It's my sister." Dyske explained


     

iZombie ( Chapter 17 )

     I looked at Dyske who was shooked at what Tomoe asked of him. Dyske then looked at me and nodded my head. Before all this happened Domine taught me how he learned how to change into our zombie form without eating or thinking about it. I bite my thumb and suck some of my blood, It tasted weird but I could feel my body change. I looked down and I had everything there, my hair is still blood red long hair and I still had my white shirt and gray pants on. I smile and see that Dyske changed as well, he was blushing at me. The door was knocked on again.

" Dyske you in there?" Tomoe asked

" I'm still here Tomoe. And my answer is no since I already have someone who will pertect me." Dyske explained

    Tomoe opened the door and saw me there. I crossed my arms and looked at him. He stepped back a bit and knocked into Dyske. 

" If you come to my home again I will kill you." Dyske warned

     Tomoe moved away and ran down the stairs, I laughed at how pathetic Tomoe looked. Dyske laughed as well and hugged me, he put his head under my chin and wrapped his arms around my neck. I smile and pat his head as he hugged me. He let go and wiped his eyes, I smirk at him and change to myself again. He does the same, he takes my hand and we walk down stairs together. We found his mother in the kitchen crying, the door was forced open. Dyske let go and ran to her, he let her cry on his shoulders. I rubbed the back of my head and walked towards them.

" I might not be much help but he said no." I say and look away from their eyes

" Dyske you did." She asked

" Yes because I have Kotaka for everything." He laughed

" Come here boy." His mother opened her arms out to me

Dyske's mother. Who looks really young. 

     I walked towards her arm and let it wrap around me. She whispered into my ear "Thank you" and then she started to cry again. I told her that she will have to trust me from now on, and I guess she does now. Dyske let go of his mother and smiled at her, he takes my hand and shows it to her. She nods her head to him.

" Dyske, I already knew. And I approve, he is a very nice guy." She laughs

" Thanks mom." Dyske laughs back and we walk out

     We both look at each other and laugh a bit. We stop at the same time and smile, I put a hand on his face and kiss his lips. I let go and blush a bit, he just smiles and kisses me back. Something I learned while working at the diner is that a person is a person what ever they are. And Dyske helped me be who I truly am, who I'm thankful for because I might be with Hakihu right now thinking that I made the wrong choice and break her heart. I hope she's still okay with me being gay and all. We ran to the diner and found it trashed, well at least everyone else was okay. I saw Dyske start to cry as we moved closer to the diner, he stopped in his tracks and hugged me.

" Just let him do that for know." Domine smiled as I saw him turn into his zombie form

     Nanalai, Jackie and I did the same, I let go of Dyske and kissed his forehead.

" You know without you I wouldn't be here, I would still be in my apartment waiting for my life to start. I'm glad you helped me." I smiled and helped everyone else with the diner "clean up."

iZombie ( Chapter 16 )

     After we closed the shop up Domine went back up to the second floor. I remembered I didn't really have a place to stay since I wanted Chika to live. I looked at Dyske and he was smiling at me. He took my hand and walked out the door.

" Dyske, where are you taking me," I asked

" You'll see." He smirks

" Fine, just walk slower. Please." I asked again

     He listened to me and walked beside me, I wonder where he was taking me that day. Probably somewhere safe, and of course I guessed right. We walked down a couple of blocks and came to a three story town home. Dyske walked up to the door and knocked on it, the door opens and a woman appears. She smiles and lets us in, she also gets us some coffee. I sat down next to Dyske and expected his mother to yell at him, But all she did was smile. 

" So how are you mother," He asked sounding straight

" I'm good, and who is this." She questioned

" A friend, I met him at the diner." He replied

" So you're a zombie, don't worry I am as well." She laughed

" Okay, cool." I respond and smile
" How is my Dyske been." She asked
" Oh, you want my opinion," I question
" Please." She responded
" Sure, I guess. He's been okay, doing his job." I smirk
" That's good." She laughed and took our cups from us

     Dyske looked at me and smiled and came close to my ear and whispered to me.

" Thank you." He said

     I looked at him and almost cried since he never told me that. I guess he was happy since I came with him, well he was the one who dragged me here anyway. I hoped he was trying to do the right thing. His mother came back and told us to go up to his room, she said some of the iZombie managers were coming over. I nodded my head and stood up, grabbed Dyske's hand and went up to his room. I walked in and saw many posters of superstars, but they were human. He sat down on his bed and told me why he has the posters. He just says they were his fathers, but he died saving his mother and him.

" Bruh, why didn't you tell me before," I say
" I thought you would judge me more." he replies and looks down at his feet
" No, I wouldn't do that to you. I'm not that type, I'm the type that keeps secrets from their friends. But I would never judge someone for who they are." I respond
" Thanks, babe." Dyske smiles

     If I heard him correctly he said, "babe." I've never been called that from him in a while. I guess he wanted to since he was happy around me. I laugh ad rub his hair, then I hear noises from the front door. I look out the window and I see many people, Tomoe was here as well. I look back inside and see Dyske in his zombie form, I question his actions and he says something I couldn't here. I heard footsteps come up the stairs to his door. Then we heard a knock.

" Hey Dyske, its Tomoe. Can we talk." He started

     My eyes turned black and I was ready to kill him, but Dyske put his hand in front of my body.

" Why?" Dyske asked
" I want to ask you something that my boss has been thinking about." He replied
" Then just ask me there." Dyske responded
" Fine, will you join iZombie with me." he asked

     

iZombie ( Chapter 15 )

     That afternoon I cleaned her walls from her blood. I was also very happy that afternoon, very weird of me to be happy. That morning I had confessed to Dyske about something and he actually was happy for me. I then told everyone else, I guess my confidesne was too high that morning. Domine told me he knew it, Jackie guessed it since I was so nice to her, Nanalai knew as well but she still thought I was straight. Then there was Hakihu, she came in that afternoon and everyone was waiting for me to tell her. I finished cleaning the walls and went downstairs to see everyone looking me. The only eyes I saw looking at mine were Hakihu's. She was happy to see me, but she knew something was up.

" Kotaka what it is." She asked

" I was lying to you, well just a little part of me was wrong." I say

" What is it, please don't tell me Tomoe took you in." She cried

" No, don't worry I'm not leaving this place. But the thing I lied about was my sexuality." I confess

" What is it then." She answered

" I'm gay. I told everyone else but they kind of already guessed I was. But then there was you, I didn't want to hurt your feelings if you had any for me." I finally came up with it

" Oh, its okay. I guess I kind of knew as well. It was the way you kissed me that morning, it didn't feel like you wanted to kiss me, you just did it. And so I guessed you were like Dyske, gay as ever." She laughed

" Damn, I was easy to figure out." I smile and everyone laughs at me

     Hakihu hugs me and says she loves me the way I am. I love her too just as a friend, for now. She let go of me and smiled, she told me she would be smiling the whole day. I laughed at her and doubted she would be able to smile the whole day. She threw her towel across the bar table and said she was going out. She took my hand and made me come with her, we went out to the market. On October 17, don't think there is a market on a Friday. But maybe she was right.
     We walked down to the left of the diner and found our self at a town square. There were a couple stands opening up with fruit and vegetables on the tables. On some were fabrics and clothing, I saw many jewelry on some as well. Hakihu was at every on with jewelry on it, she wanted to get me something. I found her digging through a pile of earings on my of the stands, she wanted to by me earings. She told me to go somewhere else and so I walked off into the middle where a fountain was placed. I sat down and waited for a while, it was finally dark when she came over to me.

" Sorry I'm late. I wanted to get you a couple pairs." She laughed and hands a bag filled with earings.
" Oh my god Hakihu you didn't have to do this for me. Thank you." I smile and hug her
" No problem, I guess I'm being the man today." She laughed again
" Maybe." I answered

     I looked through the bag and saw many diamond earings. I found many other types of earings, then I felt my ears. I had no holes in them, Hakihu would have to pay for them. She was going to kill me, but then again we have a supply of money in the diner for us. So I just kept quiet about the money problem so she wouldn't continue about if I need more things. She finished looking around and we finally went back to Chika's house, hopefully she takes the news I have for her.
     We walk into the building and smell the aroma of shrimp and pasta, our mothers favorite. I walked into the kitchen and saw her tasting it. I walked up behind her and hugged her form the back. First she took it as a surprise then turned around to look at me.

" Kotaka where have you been?" She questioned
" I've been shopping with Hakihu and got you a pair of earingsfor you." I say and pick up the earings I got her
" Thanks dude, your amazing." She laughed
" I also have something else to tell you." I start
" What is it?" She asked
" Im gay." I spat out and look down at my feet
" Holy shit dude, know you tell me. Don't worry mother already told me, she knew it as well." She laughed
" Okay, I guess I am easy to figure out." I laugh as well
" No kidding Red." Hakihu smiled

     I sat down at the dining table, Hakihu sat next to me. Chika talked to us about what the plain was, she asked if I was going to stay with her anymore. I had to tell her for her own life I couldn't stay with her anymore. She cried a bit but she understood since she was the only thing of mother I had. I gave her a hug and Hakihu and I had dinner with her that night.
     Once we finished Hakihu cleaned the plates in the sink. Chika and I talked for a bit, I told her Dyske helped me come out. She knew exactly what I meant. I laughed and rubbed her head. Once we were done talking Hakihu and I left, I hugged Chika on more time and we headed back to the dinner. Once we got out of the apartment we both threw up the food, It was something weird if people saw but we had to do it. We laughed after and walked back to the diner.
     We got back and it was finally dark. Hakihu went home after giving everyone a gift, as well as Nanalai and Jackie. The only ones that were left were Domine, Dyske and I. Domine was cleaning the cups after a long day of working and Dyske was cleaning the tables. I sat down at the bar and Domine gave me a cup of coffee as well as one for Dyske. He sat next to me and put his head on my shoulder, I sipped some of my coffee and felt a kiss on my cheek. I looked at Dyske and he was blushing, I laugh and rub his hair. Domine laughs as well and compliments how cute of a couple we were. I haven't put it that way in a while since I kissed him, but I guess everyone thinks that now. At least I'm happy again.

iZombie ( Chapter 14 )

October 17, 2015

     Okay, yes I was still confused about Crow, Domine never spoke of her again so I just thought I had to keep my mouth shut. I was still out of sorts from last night, she could hear my thoughts. Well, I forgot all about it the next morning, like always. I went to the diner that morning and only saw Dyske working the morning shifts, he was glad I came. I put my apron on and took orders like always, if Crow was in charge of iZombie then she must be ordering the murders. I had to get everyone back here tonight to tell them what I think of her, Domine might hate me though. 

     After I came in, Jackie came through the door with a smile on her face and blood in her teeth. I put my hand on my face and pulled it down it, she laughed and went upstairs. I guess she had something to eat, but she only kills animals at night. Dyske follows my eyes to the upstairs door, he walks over and hugs me from behind. 

" What is it Kotaka?" He asked me

" I'm not sure, I'm just confused." I laugh

" I know you are, but you know something's up with Jackie." He read my mind

" How did you know," I said and turned around to look at him.

" I figured it out as well as you did. She's a lie to all of us, especially you." He caressed my hair. 

" Thanks, Dyske, but I think I figured it out as well," I say and pull away from him.

    I turned to go upstairs, but his hand was holding mine. I stood there and thought about some things, if I was thinking correctly Dyske had a crush on me.  I should at least listen to him at least once in our little friendship. I turned and looked at him, I shook my head no and kissed his cheek. I wanted to make sure he was going to be okay if I left him, he nodded back. He finally let go and I went upstairs. I followed the smell of blood and went into a room to the left of the hall. I saw Jackie just sitting there, licking her hands. She laughed at me and gestured me to sit next to her. I did and she put her head on my shoulder. I put my left arm around her and kissed her forehead.

" Your going to be okay Gazelle," I called her.

" Thanks, Red, your always there for me." She laughed and hugged me

" Ya, no problem. I'm just still confused if were friends or not anymore." I ask

" Oh, my little baby. We are friends just it's like a long distance relationship." She answered and moved her hand along my face.

     I looked at her and she laughed at me. I smiled a little bit and tried to keep my distance from her face. I knew what Dyske meant when he grabbed my hand, it was as if we were dating. He tells me not to see her, but I do anyway and then we break up. I look away from her and smirk at the hand prints of blood. It smelled good to me.

" Can I have some," I ask

" Of the blood, ya. You can clean the walls so Souske doesn't kill me again." She laughed and rubbed my hair

" Also can you get Dyske up here, you can do his shifts while we talk," I ask once more

" Ya, don't worry." She smiled and left the room

     After a while of sitting there looking at the blood stained walls, Dyske comes in. He smiles at me and sits down next to me. I look at him and made up my mind if I wanted to me a real zombie I had to act more like a human. I shook my head and hugged him. He put his arms around my waist and hugged me back.

" Oh Kotaka, it took you this long to realize this." He laughed

" I'm sorry, I can't do life anymore. I want to love girl's but I can't, they remind me of my X. She was a zombie like you, but she was corrupted. The police shot her down where she was sleeping, it was in her sleep." I shouted and cried at the same time.

" Dude, it's going to be okay. I get it, I was the same as you before I realized I liked guys and went out with Tomoe," he smiled

" Whats happened with you guys," I asked

" I broke up with him since he was faking the gay thing. I was heart crushed, or how every you saw it. Then I realized I was in love with you when I saw you. And I now the thing when someone loves someone by just looking at them is not true and all, but that happened to me. And so I knew you were gay because you have more lady friends than guy friends." He laughs at the end

" Fine, you got me. I just did that to fit in. Hopefully, I don't hurt Hakihu's feelings because I did kiss her." I blushed

     Dyske looked at me and smiled. I laughed with him and hugged him again. He helped me be who my zombie is, yes I'm gay and I'm sorry I never told you guys. But that was the secret I wanted to keep a secret from the world. I was scared my friends would hate me after I told them. But now I'm not afraid to tell the world the real me is back. 

     I smiled at Dyske and stood up from the sofa. I stretched and was going to leave but Dyske pulled me close to him. I was surprised he did this to me, he stood up and hugged me like for the one-hundredth time. I turned around and kissed his lips, that time it was my turn to be brave. I let go and rubbed his hair, I jumped in the air and felt the boulders lift away from my shoulders. I was stress-free as of this morning on October 17. Now that feeling was great. 

     

iZombie ( Chapter 13 )

October 16, 2015

    The next morning I went out for a run, which I never did before I wanted to get my aura out. I went down my stairs and went right instead of going left to the diner. I knew that Hakihu would be out sometime about now since I saw where she lived once when I walked her home. I ran as fast I could and instead of seeing her I ran in Dyske. 

" Sorry, dude." I breathed out of my mouth

" It's cool, your just running." he smiled

" Yup, that's what I'm doing," I smirk.

" Are you heading to the diner any tie soon," Dyske asked.

" I'm not sure since I just started," I respond

" Then I'll run with you." Dyske smiled and ran with me around the block

     I watched as every building went by, I didn't see Hakihu at all. We finally got to the diner but on the other side of the street. Dyske just walked out, I ran to catch up with him grabbing his hand. Which I didn't mean to, but I was feeling a lot better around him now. I think he's trying to make me gay or is he. I didn't care if he did, that would be an experience for me. But what about Hakihu, I did tell her I loved her. What if she found out that Dyske actually kissed me, that would be bad for me. We got to the other side of the street and went inside the diner, Domine was cleaning cups, Jackie was serving everyone. No Hakihu and no Souske, Tomoe was sitting at the bar. Dyske put an arm in front of my body and told me mentally not to engage. I nodded my head and just followed him to a window seat. We both sat down and Domine came around to speak with us. 

" Are you trying kid." He whispered

" Ya, I'm running more than I should. I'm letting my mind become nothing." I smile

" That's what I like to hear kid, your going to do great." Domine laughed and went back to work

" I'm glad your working hard Kotaka-sempi." Jackie smiled

" Sempi? Am I even older than you." I asked

" Yup." She winked and gave someone some coffee.

" I'm glad also Kotaka-kun." Dyske blushed

" Thank's Dyske." I smiled and rubbed his hair

This is Crow

     I stood up and got the both of us some coffee to help us wake up. I sat down and heard the front door open. A women came in, she was beautiful. Nothing I've ever seen in a women before. She walked in a went start for Domine, I was in awe. I heard him call her the women in black, I laughed a bit. I watched as she stopped talking, then I stopped laughing. She walked over to me and looked into my face with her red eyes.

" Morning Red." She smiled and patted my head
" How do you know" I ask
" I just do, can't you let a girl be herself." She laughed
" My names Kotaka thank you very much." I answer
" Oh how rude am I, my names Crow." She replied and showed me her crow wings on her back.

     I looked at them then looked back at her face, she was blushing. I looked away and put my hands in my lap. She laughed at me then walked back to Domine.

" Is she a zombie." I whisper to Dyske
" Ya, shes in charge of the iZombie company." He explained
" But why is she here." I ask
" Domine and her used to date, so shes used to seeing him alot." He answered back
" Oh, then why is Domine letting her in like this." I respond
" I'm not sure, sempi." Dyske replied
" Sempi? Not you too." I was confused

       Who was this Crow women, and why did she come to Domine. Are they still together or are they talking about business. I was confused to the max.

     

iZombie ( Chapter 12 )

October 15, 2015
    
     That afternoon Domine and I went into a field to practice. It was right behind the diner, which looked small from where I was standing. Domine switched to his zombie form, which was his blue haired DJ. I turned into my zombie form and saw him wield a blue light from his hands. 

" Okay, this part is important to a zombies life if we don't have this we won't be able to use our special ability," Domine explained

" So we have the color of our what exactly," I questioned

" We use our aura to help with this power, like when Dyske showed you his black orb. He did that to protect you, don't think of it personally." Domine responded

" No, its fine, so will my aura be a red color," I ask

" Maybe, you never know. It might be pure white." He replied

     I saw as Domine moved his orb around his hands, it was a pretty blue color, it reminded me of the sea. I watched as he aimed it at a wall, he throw the orb and it crashed into the wall. I was surprised it also could be used to destruction, but that was just the first part. Then he showed me how we could use it for a signal for others to come to our need, or help as I called it. He told me if I wanted an orb fast I would have to concentrate for a long time. Domine sat down and I followed, he told me we were going to meditate for an hour and see how I do. I've never done this before, so I knew to all of it. I crossed my legs and put my hands on my knees. I closed my eyes and began to make my mind blank. I could hear Domine laugh and then fell silent. I smiled inside and could see my thoughts as I concentrated enough. 

     I was able to see what I thought, but it had to be blank. I made sure my body was breathing perfectly fine, same with my heart beat. I felt the grass on my legs as the wind blew it towards me. I was entwined with my body and that was what I was supposed to do. After an hour I stood up and opened my eyes, Domine was gone. He had left right when I started to do this.

' Oh Domine, you bastard. Where have you gone.' I thought as I looked around the field. 

     In the darkness, I could see someone comes towards me. I only could make out that it was a man, but it wasn't Domine.

" Whos there," I ask

Tomoe's zombie form.

" No one particular." He answered

" That voice, is that you Tomoe." I questioned

" Good job Kotaka, you got it correct." He laughed

     He walked into the light and I could see he didn't look the same. He was in his zombie form, he looked more like a clown than a zombie. But I didn't say that to him. 

" What do you want," I ask.

" Your ability, I heard once it gets more powerful you will be most powerful out of all the zombies. And I want that power for myself." He laughs

" Why are you being greedy, this isn't you Tomoe. Or is it more you then the you I met." I thought out loud.

" You got it correct, I act all nice to make people like me, then I kill them." He smiles

     I back up and try to find my way back to the diner, then I feel someone behind me. I look up and see Domine right there. I laugh at him and move aside so he can show me how to use my orb. But instead of fighting Tomoe disappears into the night sky. I rub the back of my head in confusion and walk back to the diner with Domine. The next time I meet Tomoe, I will be able to kill him for good.
