Anime: Brothers Conflict :D
Characters: Like, most of them
I'm changing up some of the rules of the game to fit this story:
HvZ is a game where 3 people are randomly chosen as zombies, and their objective is to infect the humans/hunters who have nerf guns to shock zombies XD
Zombies cannot be killed, they are rendered powerless and immobile for 3 minutes when they are hit. If humans are tagged by zombies, they are turned into a zombie in 5 minutes. Zombies are required to wear a bandana to identify themselves.
Zombies win if there are no humans left, and humans win if they survive for three hours of this game. Anywhere within the Asahina property is considered in-bounds :D
Also, I don't remember what they call each other (heck there are 13 of them!) so everybody's gonna call everybody by their first names !
--------------------
Zombies - Kaname, Fuuto, Tsubaki
Humans - You, Yusuke, Azusa, Wataru, Subaru, Iori, Natsume
~This is gonna be fun~
In the beginning, all the humans stuck together. You held Wataru's hand as the five of you slowly descended down the stairs of the Asahina household. But after Tsubaki spooked you with his amazing voice-acting skills--even though Azusa tried to warn everyone--you all ran different ways and split up.
You checked your phone. It was 10:00 pm and pitch dark outside. Two and a half hours until the game was over. You internally cried to agreeing to such a scary game in such a large household setting.
Nobody was allowed to lock themselves in a room and all doors are required to be unlocked and open, so your safest choice was to go outside, where there's more space to run if someone spot you there. "I'm gonna win this, for sure!" You mumbled to yourself and made your way to the back door.
Immediately, you saw Iori standing by the flower bed.
"Iori? You shouldn't be so out in the open!" You said.
He turned around with his usual calm eyes, "I came to check on the flowers and Kaname got me."
You sweatdropped. This game was a lot harder considering everyone knew each other so well.
"You should run. I only have two more minutes before I'm a zombie. Here, take this." Iori hands you his nerf gun since you gave yours to Wataru before you split up.
You saluted your former fellow teammate and ran off.
Zombies - Kaname, Fuuto, Tsubaki, Iori
Humans - You, Yusuke, Azusa, Wataru, Subaru, Natsume
You feel slightly more confident now that you're armed. You peek out from behind a tree, like any character in a cliche story would. The night was dead silent. Maybe this could work, you'll stand here outside in the freezing night for the next two-something hours.
"I can't do that...." You muttered, "I gotta win with pride! So I deserve the chocolate cake that's the prize to the victors!"
"I don't particularly care about that cake." A husky voice whispered from right behind your ear.
You yelped and quickly fidgeted with your nerf gun. And without looking, shooting one of its soft bullets at your attacker. The bullet hit his chest, but he didn't seem to have planned to dodge it at all.
"I just thought that this opportunity to tease you couldn't be dismissed." Fuuto finished with a wicked smirk as he stood in front of you with his hands in his pockets, "Good luck, Nee-san, you'll need it~"
"You're the one who needs luck, pretty boy!" You stuck out your tongue at him before running away. You didn't have time to argue, he'd be able to move again in three minutes.
"Darn it! I was too careless." You frowned as you ran back into the residence and up the second floor. If only Fuuto hadn't been fooling around, he would've been able to tag you and you would've been finished.
"(Y/N)!" Someone whispered from a corner. You recognized Yusuke's voice and checked to make sure he's still human before joining him.
"Finally! I found someone." You crouched down beside him in his hiding spot.
"Y-Yeah, I was looking for you, too. I mean! I was looking for everyone else, as well! N-Not just you!" He quickly exclaimed. Even in the darkness, you could tell his face was nearly blushing to the same shade as his hair.
"Where's your nerf gun?" You asked when you saw he was empty-handed.
"I dropped it outside the front door when Tsubaki chased me." He let out a short breath. Good thing he was athletic.
"Let's go get it. I mean, we can't stay holed up here for two hours, right?" You observed your surroundings again to make sure no one was around. Zombies weren't allowed to pick up the guns, so it must still be there.
"R-Right." He stood up after you and the two of you made your way quietly to the main gate.
As you expected, the nerf gun laid in front of the front door, right where Yusuke left it. No one was around. You stayed in the living room to keep a watch out while Yusuke went forward to retrieve it.
"Waaaaaa!" Tsubaki called a karate yell while he popped up from behind the sofa and tagged Yusuke on his shoulder.
"Crap!" Yusuke stomped his foot. Before the five minutes were up, Yusuke cleverly slid the nerf gun towards your direction and yelled, "Run!"
"Ooooh~ I'm definitely gonna get you, kawaii (Y/N)-chan!"
You fired a few shaky shots from the two nerf guns, but unsurprisingly, Tsubaki dodged them all and began to take strides closer to you. You whipped around and started running as fast as you could to the yard.
Zombies - Kaname, Fuuto, Tsubaki, Iori, Yusuke
Humans - You, Azusa, Wataru, Subaru, Natsume
Obviously, Fuuto wasn't where you had shot him anymore. The deviousness of that boy worries you to death and might pop out from nowhere at any time. You crossed the yard and entered the kitchen, then out into the hallway.
"Two more hours." You said to yourself. Right after, you heard quiet sobbing.
"Wataru-chan?" You asked quietly.
The little boy started running towards you while sniffling, "N-Nee-chan! I'm scared!"
You couldn't see a thing in the dark hallway. You were about to open your arms and welcome the crying boy, but then your second judgment stopped you. You backed up a few steps into the kitchen, where the moonlight illuminated the area.
You gasped and hesitantly pointed your nerf gun at Wataru when you realized he had a bandana on, which means he was now a zombie, too.
Zombies - Kaname, Fuuto, Tsubaki, Iori, Yusuke, Wataru
Humans - You, Azusa, Subaru, Natsume
You fired a quick shot and three bullets missed until the fourth one hit his arm. He stopped in his tracks and pouted, "Awwww!"
"Good job, Wataru-chan, you almost tricked me." You lowered the nerf gun, "How'd you get caught?"
Wataru pouted even more, "Tsubaki-nii put out mango mousse cake in the kitchen...."
You sweatdropped. You weren't sure who you were supposed to be most wary of anymore. Fuuto, Tsubaki, and Kaname are all sneaky people. Is it really a coincidence that those three were the first zombies?
"Can you tell me where your nerf gun went?" You asked him.
"Subaru-nii took it. He came by while I was waiting."
"I see. Which way did he go?"
"I'm not telling! The chocolate cake is still mine!" Wataru crossed his small arms and puffed his soft cheeks, making you want to pull them so badly. You quickly dashed off the hallway before Wataru could move again.
You snuck around the property without running into any problems for the next half hour, meaning that as long as you survive the next hour and half, the humans would be victorious.
You coughed a little. You were thirsty, and since you were currently closest to your room, you decided to go there to get your water bottle. As you chugged water down your throat, you heard something move from your closet.
You instantly froze and slowly turned around to the closed closet door. With your nerf gun in hand, you reach out to slide open the door...
"Natsume?" You asked with obvious confusion on your face. He was still a human.
"Tsubaki isn't keen enough to check every room's closet." Natsume explains, "I've been here for the past hour. Four people came by, but none of them found me. Sorry, I'm in your room, this used to be my room."
"Goals." You mumbled to yourself, then helped him up.
"It's pretty easy for Azusa and me to avoid Tsubaki, since we know each other so well." Natsume explains, "I'm not sure if anyone else has gotten to Azusa, though."
Natsume ruffles through his orange hair before he picked up his own nerf gun, "I think we have a pretty good chance at winning if we have three guns in total."
"As long as we don't get sneak-attacked." You added while the two of you crept downstairs.
Meanwhile, at the other side of the mansion, Subaru roamed down a hallway, with his nerf gun readily aiming. He's been looking for you, but it seems that as soon as he gets to the place where he heard a commotion, you were already gone.
"Subaru?" A voice called out from behind him. Without thinking, Subaru spun around and fired a bullet.
"Psh, you don't even hesitate, huh?" Yusuke agilely dodged the soft bullet. He tightened the bandana around his forehead before muttering, "sorry."
Yusuke's natural athleticism and his talent in soccer allowed him to dodge every single bullet. A nerf gun already doesn't have good accuracy, but facing a foe like Yusuke, Subaru couldn't get any hits on. Yusuke successfully tapped on Subaru's wrist.
Sighing, Subaru dropped the gun and stood in place. In five minutes, he'd be on the zombie side. Yusuke wanted to help you win, but he swore to abide by the rules when he agreed to the game.
Zombies - Kaname, Fuuto, Tsubaki, Iori, Yusuke, Wataru, Subaru
Humans - You, Azusa, Natsume
Only three humans left. Who will emerge victorious?
To be Continued :D
