Ushijima wakatoshi, 35,now married and with 2 kids, one being a 7 year old and another being a 5 year old. Being married to Yachi Hitoka, now Uahijima Hitoka, a slender women who is no more than 33, an ex- manager of the karasuno volleyball team which was once one of the opposing teams when he was a teenager had no less of a static yet peaceful relationship with his family. He couldn’t move away from them whenever he got time. Wakatoshi, still a part of the Schweiden Adlers, a professional team in the top division of Japan's V.League, sometimes ad to travel but mainly to participate in volleyball matches.

No one would believe if told that the stone cold wakatoshi is a attention seeking pup from his wife and his kids. Life was perfect and full of flowers for the family being like the rest of the families out there but a little more merrier.

Hitoka being a famous design while her husband being a famous volleyball player and the kids being like what anyone would want theirs to be like. It looked like they had everything from the outside until...... their family, the perfect picturesque family of theirs started having cracks when Ushijima was cleaning his wedding room and found a set of papers which disturbs him pretty badly.

Hitoka was rushing home from work as she received a call from her daughter, the youngest’s teacher asking her out to talk about her daughter’s studies. She quickly agreed without a care in the world since this was about her daughter who was one of the most important part of her existence.

Ushijima, worried about his wife not returning home, since it was already so late and would at least call her son or him to let them know if she’s running late, well, usually, at least.

He rushed out of the house and ran around aimlessly, panting and worried that she might be in danger. He soon spotted her talking with his daughter’s kindergarten teacher and was relieved to see her safe and sound. He went inside the coffee shop where his wife and the teacher were sitting and gave a pleasant surprise to his wife while the teacher was not as much pleased.

“What are you doing here Toshi?” Hitoka asked with an innocent blink and a super cute head tilt. Wakatoshi’s face was as red as Nekoma’s uniform and Hitoka chuckled on seeing this.

The teacher who was witnessing this was a bit disappointed but then tried staying optimistic and smiled through his pain. They started having a conversation about how Rin ( Hitoka’s daughter) was with her studies and about the upcoming sports festival.

“She is an excellent student.” Said the teacher.

Wakatoshi’s face was fully covered in a proud smug as he was the one who teaches his daughter and helps both Rei and Rin with their studies, homework and anything related to education.

Hitoka just chuckles a bit but inside was filled with pride as her husband did a great job in helping her raise their kids and also with her personal and career life.

There was only one thought that came to Hitoka’s mind whenever asked about her husband ‘a perfectionist like her, one of her biggest supporters and believers, a slightly grumpy and awkward person around others with their family as an exception.

The happy conversation between the proud father, a shy yet equally proud mother and the heart- broken teacher lasted for a couple of minutes before a loud noise interrupted them.

A fire had started in the café they were at.

Wakatoshi noticed this and pulled Hitoka to move out and away from there while the teacher followed them quite closely.

Hitoka, while being pulled out witnessed a quite disturbing site, a man biting and eating a worker alive!

Hitoka gasped at that sight and ran out racing Wakatoshi and threw up pretty badly. Wakatoshi witnessing this, patted her back and checked if she doing fine.

“Th....here....inside.......gasp.....a person.....gasp.......was..... eating....eating....gasp....” she was gasping in between almost every word before Wakatoshi stopped her.

The teacher interrupted them not long after and shouted “a person was eating a worker alive!! We got to run!”

Wakatoshi couldn’t believe it and ran inside to check but was shook by the same sight. The sight was hideous even for him to see so stepped forward to stop the person chewing on the worker but was stopped by Oikawa Tooru.

After years of chasing behind Oikawa Tooru, Wakatoshi and Tooru somehow started getting along at one point of time which was possible mainly because of Iwaizumi Hajime, Oikawa’s boyfriend.

Hajime followed Oikawa and stopped Wakatoshi since he had faith in only 3 things that belongs to Oikawa.

His love for Hajime

His sets and serves ( including his leadership skills) and finally

His instincts about sci-fi stuffs

“It’s best if we rush back and pack everything and leave” Hajime said calmly.

“Huh? Why?” Wakatoshi responded with an unusual look.

“Cowjima! Trust me on this. It’s the beginning of an apocalypse I tell you. An apocalypse!” Oikawa retorted back while forcing out the word apocalypse at the end.

Wakatoshi, though confused, did what the pair told him to do since it was the calm, collected and the always- analysing- the - situation- guy agreeing with his crazy boyfriend at this weird moment.

“Then I will meet you guys here in an hour then” Wakatoshi said grabbing Hitoka and rushing to her car.

By the time they reach the car, the waiter wasn’t the only person getting chewed on. Many others were getting eaten alive and Hitoka couldn’t bear the sight. But Wakatoshi somehow managed to gain his composure amidst this chaos and stepped on the accelerator. (The teacher was with them too)

After reaching their house, the Ushijimas quickly grabbed their kids and everything necessary,I.e., all the food they have, keeping the clothes bare minimum restricting it to only 4 sets per person and their electronics to keep their kids busy.

Wakatoshi loaded his car with the stuffs while Hitoka settled their kids in her car and also took some solar panels and all of the things necessary for it in the back of her car.

Her son was sitting in the passenger’s seat next to her while her daughter was in Wakatoshi’s car with him and so was the teacher.

The teacher took care of Rin who was sobbing quietly due to them being in a rush. Wakatoshi was a bit uncomfortable with the entire apocalypse- nearing-them situation.

They soon drove over to Hinata’s place where the rest of their friends and relatives were gathered with their respective belongings loaded in their cars with some of them carrying solar panels and the required tools to install it with them in their trucks, minivans and cars.

Some carried camping sets with them enough for the entire group to go with for a couple of years.

Most of them thought it was joke played by their teammates/ relatives until they were all gathered at one place and met with a zombie ripping off a person’s eyeball right in front of them. They were all left shook and grossed out by the sight of the zombie eating out the now- dug eyeball. This was especially true for Sakusa Kiyomi, who was a clean freak. His boyfriend, Atsumu, helped him and so did his family.

No one dared to get out of their vehicles until the zombie was gone, at least was out of their sight.

After waiting for about half an hour, Tooru and Hajime joined the group with their belongings.

Kita found that no one was carrying any fuel with then but they have 50+ vehicles now which doesn’t have enough fuel.

So everyone regrouped and tried fitting into the bigger vehicles so that they could carry more supplies.

Wakatoshi had to use his high tech caravan and so were his teammates, since they all bought it together.

Wakatoshi quickly loaded the supplies of him and his family into it while Hitoka helped fixing the solar panels to the roof of their van while teaching other how to do the same.

Kita, Aran, Sugawara, Sawamura, and other smart people helped her with that while the dumber ones helped with loading stuffs into the vans.

The kids and the elderly were on a lookout with the pets.

Thankfully no zombie was around until they finished attaching the solar panels and loading their goods properly into the vans.

As soon as everything was done, the now used vehicles number came down to half of what was originally there. The kids were first allowed to go with their parents followed by the pets and then by the elderly.

As there weren’t that many pets and kids, it didn’t occupy much space.

The rest of the empty spaces were filled with fuel, soil and seeds which were entirely Kita’s idea since who knows what will happen during an apocalypse.

“ Wakatoshi, we can do one thing and let the vans with kids and pets take out soil and seeds along with how much ever water is available. The rest will carry fuel and required amount of water until we reach a safe place. Is that fine with you.” Kita suggested and questioned at the same time.

Wakatoshi just nodded.

Some vans having not so much fuel but with a lot of space left in them carried tap water for the plants to grow since there is a high possibility that the water sources might get polluted.

The kids were made to go with their parents and were made to sit in the first 15 vans and the pets were with them.

The rest were with the elderly.

Everyone helped in retrieving the fuel from the now- left vehicles.

“Now all that is left is to go purchase the soil and the seeds to go along to last for a long time.” Kita said deep in thought.

“Before that we need to find a place to settle in” Sawamura interrupted. Wakatoshi agreed and so did everyone else.

Oikawa suggested going to the house they all purchased together in the outskirts.

“But wouldn’t it take a long time just to reach there?” Hitoka retaliated.

“But that is the safest option we have for now” Oikawa said.

“Then let’s do this. We will split into 2 groups first. 1 group will stay here while the other group will elderly and fuel will go and settle in the community complex.” Sugawara said.

“Yes. We can do that” Aran agreed with a pause before continuing “however, will it be enough for all of us?” He stopped.

“ yes it will be. More than enough for all of us. If we want, we can also ask our friends from Tokyo to come there and live with us. We don’t lack money to buy at least half of the outskirts and we definitely don’t lack space” Kita said statically.

“Will it be clean?” Sakusa asked.

Everyone gave him a glare and turned to look at Atsumu to ask him to manage his boyfriend.

Atsumu sighed.

“Omi Omi, we can’t worry about that now since we have other more important things to worry about. Let’s do one thing then. How about we go there first and check the surrounding for any refugees or zombies and then clean our personal space?” Atsumu said with Sakusa nodding in agreement.

“Then it’s settled! We will wait for you guys here while half of you will go and unpack everything and empty your vans and only the drivers will come back. Is that right?” Suga asked with an angelic smile though nervous himself.

Sawamura noticing his boyfriend shaking a bit helped him and decided to make him take care of the kids there.

As soon as the first half departed, the kids started running around without a care in the world while the remaining adults took it upon themselves to contact their acquaintances and let them know about it. They asked them to start stacking food drinking water tap water and seeds and stay locked up inside their house until the situation calms down entirely.

The people at the other end did the same as soon as they received a panicking call.

“It was quite a flunk that we all bought houses tat the same place after listening to Hinata. It’s good in a way I guess” Wakatoshi said.

“Yes. It’s a good thing that we have enough space and can be together with each other and support ourselves” Kagayama added.

Hitoka came in between and asked Wakatoshi about Rin who was not with the other kids.

Wakatoshi, now panicked, started searching for Rin while Hitoka went to ask Rei about his sister. Kagayama also panicked as his niece was now missing and so the volleyball players alone went to search nearby as she couldn’t have gone far from them since she is just a child.

Hitoka, now all panicked, held Rei a bit too tight and prayed that nothing should have happened to Rin.

Rei looked up at his concerned mom worried.

“Nothing will happen to her Hitoka. Stop overthinking!!” Suga shouted while showing her his motherly side.

“I hope so......” Hitoka trembled.

Suga sighed and made her sit and gave her a drink to let her calm herself for a minute and think of all the places her daughter could wander off to. Hitoka was deep in thought then suddenly said “a park...”

“Huh?” Suga questioned.

“A park! That’s it! She must have run to a park!” Hitoka jumped and ran over to Hinata with Rei in her arms.

“Hinata....huff.... a park!....is there one nearby?” Hitoka asked a little breathlessly.

“Huh? Oh yes there is one. 2 minutes away from here.” Hinata replied.

“Where” Hitoka asked now a little aggressively.

“Just walk straightened you will get there in no time” Hinata replied.

Hitoka handed Rei to Hinata and asked him to not let go of Rei’s hand until she’s back and ran off to the park.

Nearing the park, she could hear Rin crying out aloud.

“Moommmyyyy.....” Rin cried out aloud in tears.

Hitoka ran as quickly as possible and hugged her 5 year old daughter tightly with her eyes all teared up.

“Why did you run away all alone Rin?” Hitoka questioned a little angrily.

“I just wanted to have some fun” Rin replied innocently.

“Rin! This is not the time to play around! You could have died! Do you know that?” Hitoka shouted at her daughter for the first time in her life.

Rin was tears and started crying while Hitoka picked her up and walked in the direction everyone was gathered at.

Everything was going smoothly until the mother- daughter pair encountered a zombie a couple steps away from the group.

Rin gasped and started crying again but this time around Hitoka shut her up with her hand on Rin’s mouth. The zombie didn’t seem to move forward or backward and absolutely did not even try to attack them. Hitoka sweated a bit but did not dare to move in order to save her daughter and herself.

No one from the group made any noise and the zombie was looking around. Hitoka noticed this and threw a stone in the direction on the river which was to her left.

The zombie, seemingly noticed the sound of the stone dropping into the water rushed towards it. Hitoka slowly tip toed towards the group.

“I found Rin” Hitoka announced.

Everyone were happy and gathered around to see if Rin or Hitoka were injured in any way.

Wakatoshi approached them with a frown quite angry at Rin for running away and started scolding her pretty badly.

“Toshi. It’s alright. We found her and I already gave her an earful. We have other stuffs to do. So let it go she won’t do it again” Hitoka interrupted the angry father scolding his daughter.

He hugged his wife and daughter once and went on ahead to carry Rin for the rest of the journey while Hitoka went to bring Rei back from Hinata and thanked him for taking care of her son until she returned.

“No probs. You are my friend and he is my nephew after all! I am glad that Rin is back too!” Hinata said excitedly. Hitoka just smiled while holding Rei hand tightly.

The leftover half of the group gathered around while Hitoka announced what she had discovered about the Zombies. Everyone were pretty shocked at this but also relieved that they can get away from this.

Wakatoshi, Suga, Suna, Osamu (Atsumu’s twin)and Akaashi went to the nearby convenience store to get baby stuffs from there.

They got some baby carriers, some prams, some toys and whatever packed products they could find so that it can last for a long time.

As soon as they returned they distributed the baby products to those with kids.

.

.

.

.

.

(the youngest being 3 years old and the oldest being 12) (20 kids in total and 30 pets)

After getting stuffs sorted, the other half of the group returned with their empty van (leaving Sakusa to clean his and Atsumu’s place) in approximately about 4 hours with an half an hour ride to and fro.

They all split into 3 different groups with the first group with their empty vans to go buy the soil while the second group with half empty space to help the first and also get some soil while the last group going to the outskirts and settling down and fixing some solar panels to help them get electricity if they ever get a power cut.

The first and the second group (group A and B respectively )took some dogs with them to help keep a look out while the rest of the dogs and the pets were with the 3rd group (group C).

Hitoka and the kids went with the relatives and joined the 3rd group while Wakatoshi was a part of the 2nd group along with all the volleyball players being a part of either the first or the second group.

Hitoka and the others of the 3rd group reached the outskirts without any obstacles and again split into 2 (solar panel and cleaner respectively). The solar panels group helping with solar panels installation with the cleaner group helping in fixing the sheds of the swimming pool and turning off any source of water bodies that could enter it.

The cleaner group also filled several barrels with tap water and stored in the terrace. With the barrels closed of course. The balconies were filled with drinking water stored in barrels and bottles in the first 2 buildings. The balconies of the 3rd building was filled with tap waters. The parking lots were safely shedded as it was an underground parking lot. The swimming pools (4) were indoor pools so they did not have the worry of that being affected by anything other than the water bodies.

The water fountains were checked thoroughly and any possibility of water incoming was blocked. The empty vans were also stored with drinking water at that moment.

(NOTES: the entire storing thing took place in an apartment complex in the outskirts.)

With group A and B,

They drove to a mall and ran to different sections and bought seeds and more soil and also some medium sized edible plants. Wakatoshi instructed on wha5 all to buy with regards to farming equipments while some went ahead in search of pots, barrels, plastic bottles, etc. to hold the soil in.

“These will pretty much take up the entire space” Hinata said.

“Boke! It won’t! We will still have some space left” Kagayama retorted with his usual Boke word.

“That’s why I said almost bakayama” Hinata shouted resulting in the couple to start fighting pretty badly.

Daichi, looking at them smiled like a ghost from a Japanese urban legend.

“Hinata! Kagayama! Stop!” Daichi shouted.

“Ara, ara, looks like the freak due started fighting again” Tsukkishima said with a grin.

“What? You wanna fight?” Hinata shouted with doing a karate pose.

Suga came in between and dragged Hinata silently by his collar while Ennoshita dragged Kagayama by his and Yamaguchi dragged Tsukkishima.

Hajime just glared at them for shouting and attracting the zombies. The zombies could be outside the mall waiting for their nice little early breakfast.

Suna checked outside the glass doors only to find the swarm of zombies struggling to get inside.

“Too late! They are already here” Suna said calmly.

“We have to find a way out! But first let’s get everything necessary and then figure it out.” Osamu said sounding a bit panicked.

“Agreed but we have to get out before the glass breaks letting them all in” Akaashi said.

“But our cars are out there though” Wakatoshi dropped the bomb.

“So we have to find a way to distract them out of this direction then” Kita dotted.

Everyone just nodded and started collecting the stuffs immediately.

After collecting and loading everything, it was already 4 in the morning.

“The zombies should have been gone by now “ Suna mumbled.

“I will go check “ Kita volunteered.

Kita went to the front door only to find the zombies now trying to break the glass door with a rock and the zombies could come inside anytime soon. Kita ran to where his friends were gathered .

“They are trying to break in. They are using a stone right now!”

Hajime looked at Tooru who was also shocked by this fact.

“They weren’t supposed to be intelligent!” Tooru exclaimed.

“We got to find a way to distract them immediately “ Wakatoshi said seriously.

“We have some guns above and they look so cool!!” Hinata exclaimed to Kagayama.

Kita heard this. “Which floor? We can use those to fight against them” Kita and Aran said unitedly.

“I will go get the silencers while u guys get the guns and other weapons “ Wakatoshi said.

Leaving Hinata and Kagayama behind, the rest went to get the guns while Wakatoshi went to get the silencers for the guns.

They all returned in a couple of minutes while also carrying some bows and arrows for Hinata and Kagayama since it was too dangerous for the freak duo to handle guns.

“Why don’t I get a gun? It looks so cool” Hinata said while Kagayama being silent and looking at the bow and arrows in his hands behind Hinata.

“Because you guys are like Bokuto “ Akaashi said.

Seeming to have understand what Akaashi meant, Hinata sounded quite disappointed and shut down immediately.

Everyone were shocked that Hinata understood being called dumb immediately. But didn’t bother further with it.

They all ran to the terrace while some shot from the Terrance while standing on the other side to where the zombies were standing. The zombies, hearing this sound, gathered in the backside of the mall while the group rushed downstairs to move immediately.

They all noticed one thing when they came to the entrance, the glass door was entirely shattered.

Tooru rushed to help with loading the goods in the van while the others followed him. Soon they started the vans and the zombies, hearing the sounds of the van started marching forward while the group stepped on the accelerator and rushed to the camp hitting some zombies on the way.

They reached the camp soon but it took a lot of time in reaching there since they had to evade the zombies everywhere.

As soon as they reached, before unloading, they all went inside to check if everyone were fine and no one was bit, just as a precaution.

Wakatoshi went to check if his kids and wife were alright. They were al settled in the 16th floor, the topmost of the apartment. Their stuffs were already settled there by Hitoka with the help of Atsumu.

They unloaded everything and every individual (adult) inside was given a gun and a silencer.

Everyone gathered around in the garden to have breakfast together and the kids were already asleep before they could clean up. Hitoka just smiled at her kids sleeping and carried Rin inside while Rei remained with his father who was planning on how to prevent the entry of zombies into their areas with Rei’s head on his lap.

After Hitoka helped in cleaning up, she came to pick Rei up only to find all her friend and her husband asleep, tired after their journey.

Tendō popped up from behind. “Ara if this isn’t little crow. What are you doing here smiling all by yourself?” He asked.

Hitoka pointed out at the group asleep from overworking and smiled again.

“Huh? They are already asleep? We didn’t even do quarter of what we used to do in our teen days” he said.

“Tendō - kun, they are no longer teenagers. They are old now and you have to understand that” Hitoka said.

“Hmmm... you are too protective of them and you are the one spooling them the most Oka-chan” Tendō said.

Hitoka just giggled “I am happy to do so though” she said.

“Hm.. should we just cover them with blankets?” Tendō said in his usual sing song voice.

Hitoka nodded and went inside to get some blankets. She stacked the blankets so high that it hid her face and she bumped into Tendō making all the blankets fall over.

Tendō sighed and helped her pick the blankets up and helped her cover everyone so that they won’t catch a cold.

Hitoka finally went to Wakatoshi only to be pulled by him and made to sit on his lap without interfering with Rei’s peaceful sleep.

“What are you doing?” Hitoka stammered.

“Doing what I should with my wife” Wakatoshi murmured silently into Hitoka’s ear and nibbled her ear.

She shrieked a bit which was not her usual reaction since she would have jumped usually but got used to his ways eventually.

“Stop it! Get up if you are awake” Hitoka said.

“I don’t know about that. Not feeling it. I like it just the way we are now” Wakatoshi replied.

Tendō coughed behind them since it was a surprise to see his friend talk so much let alone flirt. Wakatoshi noticing this, carried Hitoka and Rei and went inside to his apartment without a word blushing a bit while Hitoka was entirely rushed and Rei still not knowing anything.

Wakatoshi laid Rei beside Rin and closed the door of their room.

Hitoka and Wakatoshi went to the living room to discuss about the situation and about the lack of bullets and other weapons to fend the zombies off.

“Then we will have to start with the construction of a big iron wall immediately around this area” Hitoka said.

“I know. But we need the materials and we cannot keep going there without leaving everyone here when they don’t even how to shoot properly with falling behind.” Wakatoshi replies seriously.

“Well how about this then. Let’s have Daichi and a couple more here to start teaching and training us regarding the weapons while some of you go collect the necessary stuffs that are available nearby?” She says.

“Yep we were planning for that but still....” he pauses.

“Dw honey! everything will be fine. Daichi is a cop uk? we will get through this. All of us. By that I mean all of us” she says optimistically. He just looks up to see his wife standing with a fighting pose and laughs it off pulling her towards him. She stumbles in for a kiss and sits with a picture in her hand.

“Also. U have no right to worry about us because you are no better than any of us in handing a weapon. Got it?” She talks a little grumpily this time.

“Yes your majesty!” He replies kissing the back of her head gently. They laugh for a while while Wakatoshi says something into her ear.

“Thank you honey. I don’t think I could pull it together without you here. And your idea of getting solar panels fixed helped everyone including us.”

“Hehe.. it’s nothing big you know... let’s sleep now we have a early morning tomorrow”

“Which sleep are you talking about?”

She gets flushed and starts throwing cushions at him. He just smiled.

“I mean it’s nothing wrong you know. There’s no one and...” before he could she slaps his mouth to shut him up. “What do you mean? You do know that a serious situation is going on here right?” She retorts back and Wakatoshi, unfortunately, did not have any comeback only to be interrupted by some really not so great noises - the sounds of Hinata and Kagayama making out in the right side and the sound of Atsumu and Sakusa making out from the exactly opposite side.

Wakatoshi smirked and Hitoka paled.

“Shouldn’t have got a place right between Hinata’s and Atsumu’s apartment! God what did I do to you? Why are you punishing me like this?” She was praying While he just lifted her up to get to their bedroom. She stopped him.

“Wait a minute! I promise I will come with you before that I have something to do” she said rushing towards the wall to the right and shouting “ You human tangerine and You human - like ghastly pokemon stop being so noisy! There are kids inside you dumb couple” after yelling to her hearts content to one of the couple that led her to the situation she was in, she rushed to the other side, kicking her wall pretty hardly only to injure herself. Wakatoshi looking at his wife’s antics and smiling like an idiot was left surprised when she kicked the wall in anger, injuring herself.

He went to help her out but she pushed him away. She stood up.

“Atsumu ! U traitor! How dare you start making out? At least try being quiet will you? I will e broken one day or the other solely because of you, your boyfriend and the freak duo!” She shouted.

“Huh? Why what happened?” Atsumu asked pulling away from the kiss while his partner, Sakusa, also looking at the wall confused at what she was talking about but the reply was a little too late since and Hitoka was already being carried like a sack towards the kids’ room and locked the door from the outside and came to the hall once again and put her on the couch. He started to kiss her slowly but deeply and soon she started moaning.

Atsumu and Sakusa understood what she meant just then. “Hope you don’t really break” Atsumu said while Sakusa nodding and offering a silent prayer to Hitoka.

“I mean she won’t really break since she has 2 kids with him but still “ Sakusa said.

Atsumu was pretty shocked from the words that came out of his boyfriend’s mouth when they just finished making out before talking back to Hitoka only to be answered with her moans.

“I hope he won’t break her. After all he’s huge while Hitoka is just 4’11 you know...” Hinata says while making himself comfy sitting in front of his boyfriend with Kagayama hugging him. Kagayama nodded pouting.

“If he does, we won’t spare him!” Hinata shouts and Kagayama burns while nodding.

“Yachi protection squad is back on track! U hear that Wakatoshi? I won’t spare you even if you are my teammate!” Kagayama shouts.

Wakatoshi snaps at this as he hears Hinata and Kagayama shouting at him as soon as he finished the first round. He goes to the fridge to get some water for her but she’s already asleep from all the tiredness. He smirks but still not forgetting what they said about him breaking Hitoka runs to the wall and shouted back.

“She’s my wife and she’s no longer Yachi you dumb teammate of mine and his boyfriend! Plus, I won’t break her what is wrong with you we have kids together plus we love each other. What Yachi protection squad huh? No protection squad for my wife without me! You are protecting her from me? What is wrong with you dumb heads?” He shouts this out in a single breath.

Both Hinata and Kagayama jumped at this and Hinata starts mumbling “I mean it’s not my fault that you are almost twice her size”

The unusually angry and talkative Ushijima went to his usual calm mode and unlocked the door to the kids’ room and picked Hitoka up and put her on the bed of their room then went to wash his face to freshen up but since water was precious he used only a couple drops.

Surprisingly, the water supply didn’t stop yet. He went to bed with many thoughts surrounding him and lied next to his wife hugging her, slowly drifting away into his sleep.

The next morning, Hitoka woke up earlier than usual and went to get some water to quench her thirst. She walks around the house to see if she can design it in order to make it more homely even in this situation with the glass of water still in her hand sipping from it time to time.

She walks around for some time then goes to the living room and sits on the couch switching on the television on to check if it was still working since there was a 40% chance that it could. Channels from only a particular prefecture wasn’t working while the others were functioning properly so that 40% change was now negative since she couldn’t see the situation outside.

Some broadcasts showed the entire prefecture that they lived was a mess with fire and smoke everywhere.

“Thank you Oikawa san. I owe you big time.” She stated sighing once before someone attacked or rather hugged her from behind. It was Rin.

“Mum, why are you thanking uncle Tooru?” Rin questioned while Hitoka chucked pulling Rin to her making her sit on her lap.

“Because Rin, do you see the fire there?” She asks Rin to which Rin nods.

“Now look closely. Do you see some people walking into the fire without feeling pain?” She asks.

“Mom! How can those tiny people be visible when even small buildings aren’t?” Rin pouted and Hitoka chuckles.

“Look at the rooftop of the building you can see clearly and pay close attention to the moving things there.” Hitoka said while pointing to the TV screen with the remote in her hand and leaning while resting her chin on Rin’s shoulder, hugging her.

“Ah! I can see them now.” Rin says excitedly. Hitoka couldn’t help but smile in pity as this innocent child didn’t know that the people or rather the moving things she sees now were once living people, living and having their daily life like her and the other families residing with them.

“Mom? Mom? Mom!” Rin shouts at her mother and snaps Hitoka back to reality.

“Rin, listen carefully and promise me one thing. Don’t get out of our sight please. You should be within mine, your dad’s or your brother’s sight all the time. Promise? Hitoka asks worried about her 5 years old daughter.

Rin just nods in response and Hitoka happily skips to the kitchen to make them some breakfast while pushing Rin from the back. Rin enters the kitchen and Hitoka makes her sit on the counter after cleaning some dust off of it.

Hitoka takes an apron and wears it then prepares breakfast. She avoided non veg as much as possible since it could be stored for later during the apocalypse (before it rots obviously).

“Why are you using so little meat mom? I want more meat! Please!” Hiring begs with her puppy eyes.

Hitoka, at this point of time, was pretty immune to these puppy eyes tricks but goes ahead to add some more meat for Rin and Rei alone while keeping hers and Wakatoshi’s meat content the same. Rin, on seeing this, gave out a bright smile to thank her mom.

After preparing breakfast for them, Hitoka gave Rin a kiss on her forehead before instructing her some stuffs.

“Rin, wake papa and Nii up please.” Hitoka says while arranging the table with food.

“Mmm. Will do!” Rin happily runs off to her parents’ room.

She enters her parents’ bedroom and runs to her dad sleeping tummy flat on the bed and jumps on him. “Papa! Wakey wakey! Breakfast time!” She shouts while jumping up and down on her father’s back. He just smile and remains silent for a couple for minutes then suddenly turns resulting in Rin to fall on the other side of the bed.

“My little princess is awake huh? Why do you wake me up then? I have been working all night u know....” he says while tickling her but was interrupted before he could finish his sentence by Hitoka who threw a cushion from the living room’s couch.

“Go freshen up and come eat if you are awake!” She said turning into a red mess. He just smirked and said okay in a sing song voice which is one of the habits that he learned from his now best friend, Oikawa Tooru.

Rin was just standing, confused.

“Rin, go wake nii up now that papa is up” Hitoka said trying to change the topic with all her IQ.

“Ah! Right! Nii\~” she called out running to her brother. Rei woke up frantically after hearing his sister’s voice getting closer. He didn’t have that much energy to withstand her jumping on him like his dad. He quickly made his bed and got out before Rin could enter the bedroom. Both Hitoka and Wakatoshi laughed at this.

“Nii, your hair’s a mess” Rin says pointing at his hair. He blushes and runs off to the bathroom to freshen up and came out not long after with his father and sat down for breakfast.

Wakatoshi noticed something odd about the food which was different from what his kids got. He shot a look to Hitoka who was peacefully eating using the puppy eyes trick he learned from his kids.

“It won’t work on me. Plus this is an apocalypse, the kids need to build up their strength. You have plenty of them with your protein shakes and all.” She says without even giving him a glance.

“Humph. You are weak. That’s why you won’t face me. Cause you are afraid to give in. Am I right?” He asks with a smug look on his face and gets no answer which confirms that he is right.

“Please stop flirting first thing in the morning my dear parents” Rei says calmly while eating taking a bite at a time. Hitoka tried changing the subject and moved and it somehow worked.

After breakfast, everyone went downstairs to meet with the rest of the occupants.

“Since we couldn’t do much last night because of the lack of lighting, let’s just finish it out by today.” Aran said and Kita nodded.

“But the lights will still be a problem at night. The street lights I mean.” Oikawa said somewhat serious. Kagayama was shocked by Oikawa’s seriousness, ‘the then playboy is now a serious guy huh?’ He thought.

“Then we will have to go out there and get the lights and come back.” Iwaizumi muttered and the rest nodded.

“Ok then let’s do this, since we have found out that sound attracts zombies, let’s use bows and arrows as much as possible instead of firearms. So how many here knows how to use bows and arrows?” Daichi asks.

Around 25 people lifted their hands.

“So these people will go get the lights and come back while the rest who are staying back will help with patrolling and installing the rest of the solar panels.” Suga says and everyone as no chive but to agree with them.

“Wait. Before leaving let’s take some necessary precautions.” Osamu says calmly.

“What are you talking ‘bout ‘Samu?” Atsumu asks.

“I have a few football uniforms here. We can use it. Ya know to prevent the fact that we might actually get bitten or infected. As for your legs, we don’t have much, let’s just use something like wood. The helmet will cover your neck and wood for you legs. Check if your shoes are firm and hard enough to not get their teeth through it to your foot.” Osamu says analysing everything. Kita was shocked by the dumb twins’ analysis about the situation.

“Ya let’s do that. We will try searching for cloth materials that will come handy in the future too. Guys while you are at it, search for clothings too, as in, something like an armour to protect us.” Kita says agreeing.

The others just listened to him and accepted what he said. Soon a group of 25 started out with on different caravans.

NOTES:

In case u don’t understand what they were setting out to get. It was some street lights as that area was newly established and the street lights weren’t installed yet. They also went to get some clothes that the zombies could not bite through and some more solar panels since the available ones weren’t enough for ever unit.
