Paneru smiled warmly as his hair danced around his face from the wind that had suddenly picked up. He was certainly grateful that Kurogane-sama had agreed to help him. He didn't seem as bad as everyone said...though, he did seem a bit distant. Of course he was there physically, but...off in his own world on a mental level. It was hard to explain or comprehend for Paneru, but that's what he sensed. A fellow with a possibly unfortunate past or perhapse, present. In any case, Paneru lit up when Megumi decided that she was coming with them. He stared at her briefly, before awkwardly looking away to the other two people there. He bowed to the girl named Reiko and to the boy who began...making strange motions with his fingers and some kind of fabric. If it was something artistic, it definitely would of peaked his interest, but right now...his concern was Chisato. Paneru stood at the door and watched as Kurogane-sama and Megumi-shi made there way calmly down the stairs, with Paneru following them down soon after. Half way down the stairs...the intercom abruptly came on. It nearly startled him.
"Attention Students. Please remain calm and follow your teachers orders and evacuate the school in a calm and orderly manner. I will repeat. Please remain calm. There is an issue going on outside and we must eva-What!? What are you doing here!? NO GET AWAY! GET AWAY FROM ME!! SOMEONE HELP! THEY'RE INSIDE THE SCHOOL! AHH!! HELP!! IT HURTS! GAAH!! HELP ME! HE-" At that point the school speaker system cut off, an eerie silence came about the school and then the screams started as the sound of people rushing to escape suddenly filled the school. Paneru heart began to palpitate like never before.
Was it a school shooting? he immediately thought to himself, but that idea soon dissipated when he heard the sounds of a girl screaming, and the rapid harsh gnawing and growling coming from the same direction nearby. Paneru gasped and opened his mouth wide, his eyes becoming bigger as well.
"Chisato!", he shrieked worriedly, quickly brushing past the Hazekage siblings and rushing to the bottom of the steps, but to his dismay, only to see students frantically running about and being chased by other students, who looked sick, pale,...behaving like mindless wild animals.
His eyes began to tear up from the shock...he was so afraid he didn't know how to react and almost froze in his tracks, but an immediate thaw came from the thought of Chisato that raced through his mind once more. He heard the gnawing again, and the unprecedented shock triggered by the current situation at hand, caused him to space out, as he paid little to no attention to all the other cacophony that was going on around him. All his mind was hearing was the noise coming from the science lab near the steps that lead to the rooftop. He slowly walked over to the door and peaked in...but slowly started stepping back as he watched in horror.
"Chisato...Chisato...what are you doing?", he spoke in a scared and timid voice. His friend was kneeling over the body of a dead girl, blood spilled out all around her and Chisato...she was moaning and growling, and it looked like she was feeding. Tears began to fall from his eyes and this time, he screamed at her. Though, after the fact, he realized that probably wasn't a good idea.
"Chisato! What are you doing?? Stop!!", he yelled at her in an act of irresponsible fit of anger. Chisato...seemingly numb, dropped the flesh she had bit out from the other girl's face and slowly turned to face Paneru.
Paneru stepped back slowly, cautiously, as if he were treating Chisato like she was a wild animal. Her face was bloody, especially around her mouth, her neck seemed to have a big chunk of meat missing and her eyes looked as if they were rolled completely to the back of her head. Not to mention she was eerily and ghostly pale. Disjointedly, she stood up and walked towards Paneru, her movements were sloppy and fragmented.
"Chisato please....something's not right. I think you need help.", he said to her to no avail, but he said it softly and sweetly as if doing so would calm her down or appease her. As he slowly walked backwards, she walked forwards, but all of a sudden, Paneru found himself falling backwards, to his dismay, accidentally tripping over the dead body of a boy who had a sharp edge of the flag pole protuding out of his skull.
"Omigawd!", Paneru shrieked, but before he could get himself up, Chisato had pounced on top of him. Quickly, Paneru gripped both of her wrists, attempting to hold her back as she was fiercely growling and making gnawing gestures towards his face. Blood from her mouth trickled onto his cheek, neck, chin and even in his luscious long golden hair as he struggled to keep her at bay. She was so strong, it was unreal.
"Chisato! Please stop! Your hurting me! Please!", he cried out to her soulless and hungry body. Tears rolled down the sides of his face as the distress seemed to only become that much greater. He feared....he wouldn't be able to hold her at bay much longer.
