Ito Ai: A New Dawn

Eiji hesitated for a moment before crawling up on the bed next to Ai. Ai turned to him and grinned. "We will sleep here tonight. We can do the same rotation as last night?"

"I don't mind. But are you sure it will be safe here? We just chased out those guys." Eiji asked.

"Yeah, we will be. I will make some noise makers to also alert us and if it gets bad, I will stand in front of you." Ai said as she sat up.

"You seem pretty carefree about all of this." Eiji still couldn't help but worry.

"Relax a bit will ya? I know!" Ai said as she leaned over and kissed Eiji's lips. It was just a light kiss, nothing more than a mere peck but it caught Eiji off guard. "Did that help you relax a bit?"

Eiji looked at Ai giving him a teasing smile and really wished he could just tackle this girl and kiss her full on. Eiji knew that Ai knew she had him wrapped around her finger but he did not care. He was willing to be used by this girl as long as it made her happy. He smiled and nodded his head and said: "Yeah but if you kiss me again it will help even more."

Ai smiled and got up off the bed before turning to him saying: "Later, now we work." before running out of the room.

Eiji's smile widened as he got up off the bed and followed after her. It took them a few hours to gather what they needed from other apartments as they set up noise makers throughout the entire building. Once the last noise maker was set up at the door to the room they were staying in, Eiji and Ai collapsed back onto the bed. They dug out some dried food and began to snack on it.

"So we got a half day's trip left?" Eiji asked to confirm.

"Mmm... We moved much faster than I thought we would." Ai replied as she stuffed the last bite of her food into her mouth and then took a drink of water from her canteen. 

Eiji had also finished his food and sat back up against the headboard of the bed. "That's good, I am kinda interested in seeing this bunker that was built by the great Ai herself."

"Eh… You won't be all that impressed. I mean I had no idea what I was doing and was just making it up as I went. Although it did hold up much better than I expected." Ai said. She had done as much as she could, putting everyone's safety in mind while she built it, so she was happy she got as much done as she did within only six months.

"I am sure I will like it. Anyway, you can rest, while I keep first watch." Eiji said. He did not want to push the whole kissing issue. He decided to let Ai bring it up.

"Oh? So you do not want to kiss me?" Ai asked as she crawled up to Eiji and positioned herself facing him sitting right on his lap. She leaned in close and smiled as she pulled her head away. But before she could Eiji pulled her head back toward him and their lips and tongues once again locked.

The two kissed for almost five minutes before Ai pulled back and smiled. She licked her lips and yawned as she said: "Not bad. But I will get some sleep now." Ai scooted her body down so her head was on Eiji's chest and fell right asleep. Eiji on the other hand was wondering what to do in a situation where the girl he liked was lying right on top of him sleeping. 

"What happened to sleeping on the comfortable bed." Eiji chuckled to himself as she did his best not to move.

Only two hours passed when the sounds of the noise maker traps went off causing Ai's eyes to open wide and roll off of Eiji and got off the bed. "Shit! I think it's raiders!"

Eiji was startled and whispered: "What are raiders?" 

"Have you never seen any post apocalyptic movies?" Ai looked at Eiji, whose cheeks turned red. she did not poke fun at him and instead began to explain. "They are basically sick sadistic fucks. Just kill them if you see them no need to ask questions." 

"How do you know what they are?" Eiji asked.

"I can hear the clinking of the metal on their clothes. We will not bother them if they do not enter this apartment but now that a noise maker has gone off I doubt they will leave before searching through the building. In my past life, I ran into a few groups of them, I was one of the lucky few who was able to escape without being caught. Although what I had to do to escape was not the most pleasant. I mean the first time I had to hide in a pile of shit, it was not fun… The second time was under a pile of corpses. Let me just say these guys do not care how old you are or what sex you are, they will take you, strip you, and use you until you break, then kill you." Ai's voice was full of disgust. 

"No one is allowed to touch you..." Eiji mumbled under his breath. Ai's heightened hearing heard him but she did not point it out. She smiled, grabbed Eiji's hand, and interlocked her fingers with his. She pulled him to the bed and the two sat down with their howa's at their side. Ai leaned her head against his shoulder and closed her eyes waiting for the raiders to show up.
