Description (Author's Note Hello! This is my third fanfiction! [God...its about time!] This one is about a TakashixSaeko pairing from Highschool of the Dead {H.O.T.D.}
Btw...this is from Saeko's point view.
Warning: this anime was EXTREMELY ecchi...aka...sexual, so, I wrote this fanfiction accordingly to match the sexual content---(what I mean is: this MAY contain sexual content...i don't know yet...I'm kind of winging it) Now, you can't say I didn't warn you!
Disclaimer: I do not own anything whatsoever related to H.O.T.D except this craptastic story!



Dark Side-Chapter 1


"Oh my...it seems we have ourselves trapped," I swept my eyes over the street below us. The walking dead was literally a wave that we could not possibly be able to get through to safety with the others along with Takagi's mother. Turning to Takashi, who was leaning over the railing, panting, I placed my hand on his shoulder and spoke in a low voice as to not call any attention to ourselves from the zombies.
"Komuro-kun, I believe we will have to sacrifice ourselves for now. If we allow the others to escape, we can somehow take another route to Takagi-san's house."
Takashi looked up, a hint of fear in his eyes, "Bu-busujima-senpai...it's going to be a lot harder for only the two of us to fight."
I smirked, "Yes, but, we have a chance. Not if you have that attitude though," I paused and fought to keep the smile on my face as I contemplated the possible outcomes of our detour, "Besides, we might be able to gain something on the way."
"Like what?"
I chuckled, "I was thinking about going to the temple and see if the sacred katana is still on display."
"Sounds like a plan," Takashi nodded with a grin and stood, taking my hand in both of his as he whispered, "We'll get through this. Alive. I'll do everything I can."
My mouth would not cooperate. I had been rendered speechless from such a tender remark. All I could manage was blink and swallow while nodding. A pang of guilt failed to suppress itself as my heart began to beat faster.
With that, he pulled me along down another street that, fortunately, was free of living corpses.



"Saeko-san! I'll take the right, you take the left!"
I nodded with agreement and proceeded to bash the heads of each corpse standing in my way. This...is too much fun!I could feel a sadistic grin creep wider and wider across my face as I relished the cracking sound of each skull my training sword came into contact with.
For a moment, I smirk at the pile of double-death before turning around to face my last obstacles. But, what I see freezes me in my tracks.
The bodies of young children, no older than five or six, slowly stagger towards me. (I know I need to kill them too, but, I...can not move...)
One particular child catches my eye. She has waist-length hair that matches in color and hairstyle to my own. Her body is slender and muscled, just like mine when I was her age. I swallow as hard as I can as I fight my emotions to lift my arms.
"Saeko-san!" Takashi swings a crowbar, single-handedly wiping out the children that had been closing in on me.
"K-Komuro...kun..." I stutter and gaze at the lifeless bodies in horror.
"Saeko-san, I understand what you may feel, but, you need to remember they are no longer human," Takashi gently lays his hand on the side of my cheek, staring into my eyes.
I pull myself together and give a curt nod, biting my lip, I reply, "R-right. I...do not know what came over me...let's, uh...let's keep moving and see if we can make it to the temple."
He smiles and I smile back. Then, we make our way away from the water fountain, out of the park, and back onto the barren streets.



"Saeko-san, there it is!" Takashi grabbed my shoulder and pointed in the direction of the temple.
Taking me by the hand, he led me up the stone steps and before us the wooden shrine sat; long abandoned and devoid of life.
When we opened the door, inside was dark and smelled of musky incense. A gleam of reflected sunlight caught my eye. Sure enough, there it lay, the sacred katana, polished and perched atop its pedestal for worship.
"Komuro-kun, let's find and light some candles. It will become dark soon and I don't want to risk bumping into things, making noise."
Takashi nodded. Without another word, we closed the door behind us as quietly as possible. We had no trouble at all finding the candles.
After changing my clothes, Takashi and I sat in silence. I turned the blade over and over in my hands, deftly watching the glimmer of dim candlelight flickering across its shiny surface.
Clearing his throat, Takashi spoke in attempt to make conversation. "Saeko-san...have you...uh...ever liked anyone before?"
My eyes widened at the sudden question, but then I smiled, remembering the crush I had in middle school. "Yes," I replied, "I did love a man at one point..." my smile quickly faded at the more painful memory that had just occurred to me, "But...that's all over now. I don't even remember what he looks like anymore, it feels to have been so long ago."
Takashi tilted his head in question. "You did? What happened? Did you confess?"
I looked away, hugging my shoulders to myself, "No. It was something else. I....I just felt that a woman like me could never win his heart."
"Why is that?"
I sighed. (If I don't tell him the story, it wouldn't be fair to him. I chose to reply to his question, it's my responsibility to finish.)
"One night, I was walking home from kendo practice. I was a second year in middle school at the time. A man approached me. He pinned me to a nearby cement wall and began groping my body in a lecherous manner. I was lucky I had my practice sword with me. In self defense, I beat the man, breaking his femur and left leg..." I paused to bite my lip, "And you know the worst part?" My voiced cracked and I finally turned to see Takashi's stricken face, my lip trembling.
"Komuro, I ENJOYED it. I LOVED hearing him scream in agony. I relished the feeling of him being in pain. That is the true nature of Saeko Busujima! Sadistic and evil! I nearly killed him, and I was smiling." I began to cry, "I hate my dark side. That is why...I never allowed myself to fall in love again. A human so despicable does not deserve that feeling of walking upon air."
Suddenly, Takashi pulls me into a warm embrace. I gasp, "K-komuro...-kun...?"
"You're wrong, Saeko. Everyone has a dark side. Everyone has evil blood somewhere within. But you know what? We still care and love each other. It's because we are HUMAN. There's nothing wrong with that!"
He gazes at me with intensity, his lips in a grim line and his hand moves to cover my own.
"Saeko-san...that man you loved would have been very lucky if you confessed to him. I'm sure he would have been honored to have such a strong, kind, beautiful woman like you to love him. I know I would."
Before allowing me to reply, Takashi leaned forward, closing the already tiny gap between us. His lips fit perfectly against mine.
I kissed back, melting with the feeling of his surprising love.
"Komuro...kun..." I breathed, pulling away.
"Shh...Saeko-san, don't say a word," Takashi whispered doctor, his deft fingers undoing the buttons of my shirt, "I will help you understand that without dark, there will be no light. I will help you understand the feeling of being loved even if you don't feel you deserve it."
He kissed me again and began moving down my neck. My breathing must have hitched because he pressed his palm to the small of my back reassuringly before he gently lay me on the floor.

A cool draft of wind blew through, causing the candles to flicker...and die.


(Author's Note  Er...well...there you go. Chapter 1. I feel like I kind of rushed it. What do you think???

I like it! I really love this couple much more than Takashi and Rei.

Thank you, dear! I wrote this story awhile ago and the inexperienced writing style i used back then makes me cringe. However, I am so happy at least someone likes it. TakashixRei annoys me. Saeko is much more mature.

Yea. I always felt that Saeko made Takashi into the man he was meant to be. She was the one to help snap him out of his funk when he broke up with Rei. Instead of sapping his energy, Saeko helped build him up.
