[B][U]Hiro cleans up[/U][/B] Hiro heard Nakamura as he apologized to her for his comment but she didn't answer because she was deep in reverie. Her fertile imagination was now dwelling on the positive and negative outcomes of those things important in her life. Were her grandparents alive, were her parents alive, was Kume Isle over run by the dead and how many of those around her now would die before the week was out? [B]"What a freaking mess"[/B] she said aloud to no one in particular as the bus stopped at the shopping center. Anyone could see that as source points went this was very nearly a trap because it lay at the termination of a dead end street and it had obviously been raided before they arrived. Hiro having no friends on the bus decided to go solo even if in the present situation it was a fool's gambit. She leapt off the bus and headed towards a nearby women's clothing store which she'd stopped by once while window shopping. She didn't know the store's layout well but she didn't actually care because she needed to be shed of these foul smelling clothes. She pushed the door and it opened without effort. She then paused just inside the door and looked around to see if she saw any of Them then called out three times "HELLO!" Receiving no answer to her call nor any response of shuffling feet she gave the store a moderate safety rating. Turning she spun the door's deadbolt closed securing it against casual entrance. Wasting no time Hiro headed toward the racks of practical clothing and pulled down one of the metal rack spilling clothes all over the floor as she jerked free the heavy 5 foot long metal clothes rod. It was a bit heavy but had good reach and stood less of a chance of shattering when she broke the skulls of the horrors and that made her feel better. After securing a better weapon she began her raid of the clothing racks. She grabbed 3 pair of jeans, then 5 T-shirts one size too small, 3 khaki blouses and a handful of assorted panties from a bin that said they were her size.. Her next target was easy to find as she entered the customer's restroom and chucked the contents of her arms on a chair and began to strip off all of her offensive clothing till she stood nude in the middle of the floor except for her school shoes and her new bo staff. She looked under the simple sink and smiled then stepped back and swung her staff twice shattering the porcelain almost completely away from the wall an leaving the taps dangling by their copper pipes. Grabbing the broom which had been considerately left hanging on the wall near the door she swept all the jagged shards against a wall then turned on the taps happy to see they still worked. Using the hand soap dispenser and one of the T-shirts Hiro began a quick bath washing the blood and stink from her body and hair. She tried not to be disgusted as she watched the gore of the day swirl down the floor drain as she lathered her hair with the cherry scented hand soap. Hiro had no idea of what had caused her world to be turned upside down but she was determined to survive. Her grandparents and parents fates did trouble her but at this moment in time such outside concerns beyond her control could only serve to lessen her chances of ever seeing them again if they were still alive. Calming herself she finished rinsing her hair then stood leaning over and squeezing out all the water she could from her long tresses as she strained to listen
