Forever In My Heart

Harumin smiled softly.
"don't worry Yuzucchi. You can depend on me" she said giving her a thumbs up.

Yuzu smiled to herself a small one. "Always"

Yuzu grabbed her gear and reached for her car. She put her sunglasses on and started to drive. The sundown breeze hit her face making her brown hair sway with what's left of the golden strands.
'Yuzu, why don't you reapply your dye'
"I don't feel like it, Mama. With everything that's going on it's not an important thing to focus on"

Yuzu shed a tear at the memory and almost missed a red light but she stopped at the last second.
'Just promise me you will be safe'
"don't worry mama, me and Harumin have each other's back"

She decided to dry out this river of memories and concentrate on the road. She drove to her home. It was a house between the woods not too far from the base and near a small town. She stopped her car taking her bag with her and entered her home.
It wasn't a small house yet it only contained a single bedroom with a bathroom and a kitchen. The rest of the house was a gym, a small firing range, and a room with communication devices. It was basically a small base for Yuzu.

She entered the lonely house having no one to live with aside from the occasional sleepovers she had with Harumin. She dropped her stuff and entered her bedroom. She stood before a safe in the wall with a hand scanner beside it. She scanned her hand and a secret door opened revealing a room with devices monitoring vitals and a capsule attached to the wall.
'YOU CAN'T KEEP DOING THIS. YOU WILL GET YOURSELF KILLED!'
"I'M DOING THIS FOR ME, FOR YOU, FOR US TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A BETTER FUTURE. DOESN'T THAT MATTER!"
'THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IS TO STAY ALIVE!'
"YEAH WHATEVER I WILL BE LATE FOR THE TRAINING!"

"Hey Mei" Yuzu stood in front of the capsule and put her hand on the glass then rested her forehead on it.
"I missed you"

Inside the capsule was resting the sleeping beauty Mei Aihara.

A cursed day after Yuzu got home with Harumin from training. She was worried the whole time because she kept calling but no one answered. Harumin was trying to calm her down but it was of no use. They reached Yuzu's apartment and before opening the door, Yuzu smelled a very known scent to her. The scent of blood and death. She froze with a shocked face and Harumin took the keys from her and opened the door slowly. A strong smell attacked her nose that she had to cover it. She held Yuzu with her free hand and entered the apartment.

Blood everywhere was all they could see and Yuzu was still frozen in shock. Harumin proceeded taking out her gun and pointing it forward. She heard a sound from Yuzu's room and carefully looked through the small opening of the door. She saw in the mirror someone with black hair leaning on the floor with her head twitching from side to side. She knew exactly what it was. She saw it multiple times. It was a zombie eating. But, she also knew who in this house had long black hair and. Looking back at Yuzu, the shocked face she was making told her she is unable to do anything at the moment.

Harumin changed her gun to a taser gun they used to capture zombies without killing them and hit Mei with it.

The army was involved and the whole area was locked down for a long time. Everyone was tested yet everyone came out clean. Nobody knew how this virus came to Mei and the investigation ended up burning the whole building to destroy any remnants of the virus.

On that day, five heads were found. Yuzu lost a mother and a stepfather. Lost a sister and two friends. Harumin lost the girl she planned to propose to and her sister lost the woman she loved and was engaged to.

Ume Aihara
Sho Aihara
Matsuri Mizusawa
Himeko Momokino
Maruta Kayo
Were all pronounced dead that day.

"Everything is going ok these days" Yuzu was talking to the unconscious Mei not expecting a reply.
"oh and I'm sorry" her head dropped down in sadness and took out the picture.
"I... I almost dropped this" she brought it in front of Mei and looked at it with a small smile between her tears.
"remember this Mei? It's our picture together when that old lady made us try out wedding dresses" she gulped her dry throat and looked at Mei.
"I.. uh... I will leave this with you it's safer here than with me" she hung the picture on the wall close to the capsule.
"I don't need it" she took a long look at it then looked back at Mei clenching the necklace above her heart.
"you are always here with me" she turned around heading back to the secret door then looked back at Mei before leaving.
"I love you... So... So much"

She left the room closing the hidden door and continued to cry her heart out as she started a workout.
She kept Mei in the hope someday they find a cure.
Someday either by death or treatment. Someday she will be reunited with the woman she swore that she will be forever in her heart.

The End.
