I wasn’t quite sure how to take the new skill. Memory Meld and Physique happened automatically, so I hoped the Path skill would as well. I was curious what brought the update on. Takashi was the main protagonist of the story. Besides sleeping with Saeko I didn’t feel I had done too much, except maybe steal some of his glory. I pushed the thought away for the time being. 

Saeko wasn’t able to last overly long. We had a long day. And she had never stopped moving. After our 3rd round she was unable to go on. I checked the apartment and we decided to sleep there. 

I woke up to her on my chest. Breathing in her scent deeply. I began to rub my fingers through her hair as we laid there. 

One thing I noticed was that she hadn’t cum when I came in her. Something that Reina and Hina had done every time. My chakra soaked cum causing intense reactions in their bodies. I worried Saeko might not have chakra because of it. 

But she did have chakra. My chakra soaked cum had been inside of her. I was curious if there was a way for her to steal or leech it. Building her own. I left that for another time though. My father had hinted at many other Chikyugi techniques, maybe there was one to gift chakra. 

My blue haired beauty woke up slowly. Looking up to me she smiled widely. I kissed her forehead. 

“Thank you,” she whispered. 

“No, thank you,” I said. “That was unexpected.”

“Yes, very,” she whispered. Joy in her eyes she was simply happy to study my face. As birds chirped and groans sounded from outside I tiredly sat up. 

“Shall we go?” She asked. Hesitant on what to do. 

“First I need to explain chakra to you,” I said. “We need to get you searching for it.”

“Yes, please,” she said. Sitting cross legged she mirrored my posture as we faced one another. Her naked body was perfect as she sat up straight. Chest sticking out I focused on the globes as I thought about what to say. 

“Chakra runs in all living things. But not everyone can call upon it or sense it. You should have an easier time since you have trained your whole life. The stronger you are. The more chakra you have. It forms right here.” I pointed at her abdomen. “A large reservoir of energy.” I decided to leave Haki out of my explanation for now. 

My fingers began to trace lines from her center, down her leg and feet. “There are chakra pathways throughout your body. Think of them like veins. Your chakra can affect the world around you. Leaving your body through tiny pores. Like from where you sweat exits. But different. They are called tenketsu, or chakra points. There are 361 throughout your body.”

“You will begin your training like I did. Trying to feel the chakra reservoir. You will have to clear your mind. And meditate. But your focus will be right here.” I pointed to the tenketsu above her belly button. 

“That is the most important tenketsu. Where the chakra is the thickest. It will take time. But I believe you can do it. Do not fret over it for now. We will have a busy few days. But when you find time. Meditate. I will assist you when I can. Channeling my own chakra into you will help… also my semen is thick with chakra. You might be able to sense that as well.”

“Really?” she asked. Blushing as she looked down to my crotch. 

I nodded. “I can’t sense your chakra. Which is normal. But I used chakra to increase pleasure for you. The chakra will linger for some time. Or so I’ve been told. Perhaps a day.”

“So I should get more?” She asked. 

“Yes please,” I said. Leaning forward I kissed her lips. “But later. We need to get going.” She nodded. Getting off the bed she stumbled. Grunting as she caught herself. 

“Are you alright?” I asked. 

“No,” she grimaced. “My um I appear to be in pain from last night.”

“Oh,” I said. Walking over I picked up her clothes and helped her dress. I made a move to Princess carry her but she glared at me. Bopping her on the head I did it anyway. 

Saeko blushed but didn’t say anything. We went outside then up the stairs. Outside the apartment I dropped her. Throwing her arm over my shoulder I helped her limp in. 

Only a few people were awake inside. Shizuoka was passed out on the couch. Alice, the young girl I had saved last night, was playing with the puppy. Kohta was playing with the guns on the table while Rei, Saya, and Takashi made breakfast. I noted Emi cuddled up in a chair next to the couch. Still asleep. The small girl didn’t talk much and I wasn’t sure what to do with her. Not part of the canon I was worried she was doomed to die. At least she didn’t wear a red shirt. 

“Where were you?” Saya asked. Her hair in pigtails as she studied us. 

“Training,” I said. “Accidentally made her fall and twist something.”

“Training?! We have more important things to do today,” Saya yelled. Shizuoka jolted upright from the soundl. 

Her hand going to her head she groaned. “Shut up!” Laying back down, her yell woke up Emi. “Sleep time.”

I helped Saeko to a free chair. She winced as she sat down. I patted her head and started to help with food. We had plates out and were soon pushing the guns off the table as we made a game plan. 

“Here we are,” Takashi said. Kohta had found a map of the city so it was easier to understand. “River runs along the city. There are bridges. But I doubt any will be a good way to get across. There are low spots that Kohta assures me the Humvee can cross.”

“Did we find the keys?” Shizuoka asked. 

“They were with the guns,” Kohta said, picking them up. 

“Where do we want to go?” I asked. 

“My dad works here and my mom should be at our house here,” Rei said. Marking the map. “Saya, your folks live here right?” Saya nodded. “And Takashi, your mom works here?”

“Yeah, I assume we all want to find our family members first. I think we move along the river this way. Whichever parent is closest we head to them first.”

“Any objections or stops to add?” Takashi asked. 

“Uh yeah. I’d like to stop by the bank. Anyone know where one is?”

“Bank, why?” Takashi asked. 

I had decided to come clean a little. “I have a-“ I stopped talking. My throat locking up as I tried to say the words. I was going to say System Store. But for some reason I couldn’t. I hadn’t tried to tell anyone about my quests yet. And it seemed I wouldn’t be able to if I wanted to. 

“Nevermind,” I said. “Just uh thought maybe they would be protected. Wanted to look for survivors. Guess we should just keep our eyes out for people.”

Takashi nodded. We wrapped up the meeting and began a mad scramble. Gathering everything we could we piled into the Humvee. Filling it with supplies and guns it became packed quickly. Takashi found an abandoned motorcycle down the way. He and Rei rode ahead on it while the rest of us were in the Humvee. 

Only a few zombies in the area we mostly dodged them. We drove only about 10 to 20 miles per hour. Dodging burning cars and bodies. It was kind of relaxing. I sat in the middle, flanked by Saeko and Saya. Shizuoka drove while Emi sat beside her. The nurse was slowly getting the girl to open up. Khota sat on the roof. Gun in hand as he looked down the scope searching for danger. Alice and the dog played happily in the back. 

It was peaceful. A little too peaceful. I didn’t notice when I fell asleep until I felt some water touch my leg. Jolting up, I noticed water straight ahead too. We were driving through it.

“We found a low spot in the river,” Shizuoka said as she looked at me from the rear view mirror. She had a very wide smile on. I noticed why as my hands were on Saeko and Saya. 

The girls were asleep in my lap. Both drooling on my legs I decided to leave them there. My hand running through Saeko’s hair we were soon jostled as the Humvee began climbing up the bank of the other side. 

The movement caused the girls in my lap to awaken. Both sitting up with a groan I pretended not to notice the blush on their cheeks as they looked out opposite windows. Saya wasn’t sure what to do with me. Too afraid to treat me like her punching bag Kohta, she usually only talked back when she was far away. I was surprised she felt comfortable enough to fall asleep on me.

“Good nap?” Shizuoka asked, she had a mischievous grin that said she liked to stir the pot. 

“A-are we there yet?” Saya asked. 

“Yeah. We are closer to your folks place, Saya,” Kohta yelled down from the roof. I looked in the back to see Alice and the dog had passed out. The girls had decided to name the mutt, Zeke. 

“We don’t have to go there first,” Saya said quickly. 

“We should. Doesn’t your family own a big house?” Shizuoka asked. 

“Yeah, but they’ll be fine. Maybe we should hit Rei’s house.”

“No, we agreed,” Shizuoka said. “Besides, it would be good to replenish supplies.”

Saya grumbled under her breath. “Family problems?” I asked. 

“What’s it to you?” She said with a sneer. 

“A question,” I said. “No reason to get snippy.”

She grumbled more. Starting to bite her nails as we moved through the street. Shizuoka sped up since the roads were mostly clear. Takashi’s bike unfortunately got water in it so we had to dump it. He and Rei were sitting on the roof with Khota as we moved through the streets. 

Suddenly we were waylaid by a group of people. Waving weapons at the Humvee they were trying to steal it or beg for a ride. Shizuoka sped up. 

“Get us out of here!” Takashi yelled. 

“Where? It’s blocked,” she yelled. 

“There, the alley!” He ordered. I popped open the window by Saya and climbed up to the roof as she sped up. Pulling my Jitte out I stood on the roof while she took a sharp turn. Channeling chakra into my feet I stayed upright and held the collar of Rei and Kohta so they didn’t fall. 

We got to the alley, only it was filled with the undead. “Speed up!” Takashi ordered. 

The engine roared and we sped quickly plowing over the horde of them. Jostled up and down as bodies were crunched underneath the thick tires, Shizuoka turned down the road to see an even bigger group of them. 

Jumping the curb to the sidewalk where they were less dense we moved forward. But too late we noticed the wires blocking the street. Large 1 inch thick cables spider webbed just ahead. Shizu noticed and slammed the brakes. We turned to the side as I held all 3 of those on the roof in place. 

Rei actually lifted off. Her shirt nearly ripping as I kept her from hitting the concrete. When the Humvee stopped we had just barely missed hitting the thick wire. 

“What is this!” Takashi yelled. I rolled my eyes. The zombies were heading toward us already. Why did people need to ask stupid questions? Why couldn’t they simply accept things for what they were and move on?  

“Get to the other side,” I ordered them as I jumped off the roof of the Humvee. Channeling chakra my Jitte was coated in water. 

“Weston, what are you doing?!” Saya yelled from the Humvee. 

“Killing those in our way,” I said. And I began bashing their heads in. By the 4th zombie I had my stance and grip corrected to how Saeko had taught me. 

Shifting the chakra from blunt to sharp slowly but surely, I was getting better with the weapon in every fight. Zombies rushed me. But I took them on. My best hit came when 3 were lined up perfectly. I put more strength into it and busted all 3 of their heads with 1 swing. 

I was moving more smoothly. Bringing chakra into my body to speed me up as my familiarity with the Jitte grew. In the zone, it was a great feeling to not have to think about anything but bashing in heads. 

Zombies tried to get around me. I threw the 2 knifes I had, would retrieve them only for them to go into another 2 heads. 

I wasn’t sure how long I fought. But when it was down there were zombie bodies everywhere around the street. Letting out a deep breath I dropped the chakra and sighed as my Jitte disappeared. 

Turning around I found the group on the other side of the steel cable web. Beside them were 2 people in fireman clothes. Canisters of either napalm or high pressure water inside tanks mounted to their backs. I nodded to them as I walked up. 

“Where’d you learn to fight like that?” One of the new people asked. She took her helmet off to reveal a beautiful red haired woman. 

“From Saeko,” I said. Pointing at the tall girl. She blushed as everyone looked at her. 

“Mighty fine killing,” she said. “Tell me, would you be interested in marrying my daughter?”

“Who?” I asked, my head turning in confusion.  

“‘Mom!” Saya groaned. A blush on her face. Then I slowly remembered. Saya’s parents were the ones with the safe haven I was thinking of the day before.  

“What? He looks like he can protect himself,” her mom said. “We can discuss that later. Let’s get you all to our place. I’ll ride in the Humvee to direct you to the path to get to our place. Some of you can walk. But you come with,” she said pointing at me. “I’d feel safer with you at my side.”
